"81 strikes. The first strike is free!"
Boom!
Before he could finish his words, the monster had already charged over like a tank.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts when they heard the words of the freak. They knew very well that the freak\'s abilities were similar to the rules in the mysterious land. Once it was activated, it would be very difficult to kill, just like the Ghost Bullet.
This was the first time they had seen the freak in front of them, and they couldn\'t guess what its abilities were. This also meant that some people might have to risk their lives to test it out.
But even so, the shield-wielding heavy-armored soldier still rushed forward without any regrets.
"Charge!"
With a roar, four muscular men, who were about two meters tall, wearing five layers of protection and holding door-sized shields, collided fiercely with the monster.
There was a loud bang. After the monster with the sledgehammer collided with the heavily armored soldiers, the two were actually evenly matched.
This scene did not disappoint everyone. Instead, they looked happy. After all, there were four heavily armored soldiers in front of them.
Bang, bang, bang.
One enemy was knocked back, but the other three heavily armored soldiers smashed the door-sized shields in their hands in a frenzy.
The monster with the sledgehammer retreated step by step in the face of the violent smashing.
Upon seeing this, Captain Li Shan suddenly intervened from the side, and policewoman Wen Chang also shot spirit energy bullets.
The latter bullets hit the monster, causing miserable shrieks to be heard around it. As Captain Li Shan was a melee fighter, he had already arrived at the side of the freak with a long spear in hand.
However, as soon as he was within three meters of the freak, an inexplicable fear shocked him, making him tremble all over and unable to move.
\ 'Oh no, this is a trap!\'
Captain Li Shan was terrified, but Lin Yao and the others could see it clearly. When Captain Li Shan approached, the monster suddenly abandoned the four burly men who were taking turns to smash it with their shields and rushed toward Captain Li Shan at a speed three times faster than before. The warhammer in its hand smashed toward Captain Li\'s head with terrifying power.
Although there was no reason for this, Lin Yao inexplicably sensed that Captain Li would die if he was hit by that hammer.
"Scoundrel! How dare it hide its strength!"
"What a cunning freak."
The sudden outburst of freaks caught everyone off guard. The four heavy-armored soldiers rushed forward, but they were all ordinary people. When they became heavy-armored soldiers, they had abandoned their speed and were unable to provide support at all.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, a clap of thunder suddenly exploded in the sky.
"Rumble …"
The brilliant Heavenly Thunder deterred everything. Amidst the thunder, the hammer-wielding freak suddenly paused, and the shadows of mice collapsed around it.
It fell into a state of panic.
The sound of thunder shocked the freak and jolted Captain Li Shan out of his panic. However, just as he was about to approach the monster, Lin Yao called out to him.
"Retreat quickly. Its target is still you. It's not targeting the four heavy soldiers."
Li Shan did not hesitate at all when he heard Lin Yao's shout. He paused and retreated.
After Li Shan retreated, the freak also woke up and continued to attack everyone. It wanted to give them a hammer (the kind with rules), but it was blocked by four heavy-armored soldiers.
This time, it did not show its terrifying speed. Although it was fighting fiercely with the heavy-armored soldiers, it was still under everyone's control.
'What's going on? It was exposed just now. Why aren't they showing their full strength?'
Lin Yao was puzzled as he watched the five strong men fighting in front of him. However, the other soldiers reacted quickly.
"It's not necessarily exposed. It's very likely that Captain Li Shan triggered the rules of the freak, but the four soldiers didn't." It was policewoman Wen Chang who spoke. Compared to soldiers who had to obey orders, she had better logical abilities, as she had to look for clues when handling cases.
However, no matter how good her logical thinking was, she still needed enough information. She had found Lin Yao for this.
"Can you distinguish who its malicious targets are?"
"Yes."
Looking at the freak up close, Lin Yao felt as if he was looking at a large mass of ink-like pollution that was constantly extending and retracting its tentacles. Whoever the pollution's tentacles pointed at would be the target of the freak.
Lin Yao used his full perception and soon marked out the monster's targets and the people it ignored.
There were four heavy-armored soldiers, three people who practiced horizontal kung fu, and one tall and thin person.
Apart from these eight people, everyone else was pulled by the malicious tentacles emitted by the freak.
\ 'This is strange. The three warlords have been marked, but these eight people are fine. What's the difference between the eight of them and us?\'
After carefully observing the eight people who had been ignored, the policewoman looked at them one by one from their martial arts, strength, and moves. She even asked them what they had been doing recently.
However, she soon discovered that what these eight people had experienced was ordinary, and there was nothing different about them.
While she was racking her brains, the other four people who had been marked by Lin Yao had already rushed forward.
She could also see the difference here. The four heavy-armored soldiers rushed forward bravely and fearlessly. Although the three special people complained a little, they still rushed forward as soon as possible. The tall and thin person from the dojo was lagging behind a little. He was checking to see if everything was really fine, as Lin Yao had said.
He waited until the battle at the front actually unfolded and the monster's speed increased by three times as soon as it charged forward like Li Shan had.
The eight people resisted and even suppressed the freak, and everyone had time to think.
In fact, Lin Yao felt that the eight of them could subdue the freak without thinking. After all, the freak was tall, but the eight people who went forward were taller. They surrounded it and beat it up.
"Tall, wait a minute. See if those eight people are the tallest among us. Could the trigger rule of this freak's ability be height? Anyone who is lower than it will be shocked and killed by a hammer when they enter its vicinity?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard the policewoman's words. However, they soon discovered that this was indeed the case. The eight people who went forward were indeed taller than the freak.
Lin Yao was speechless when he saw this.
"Height can also be a condition for killing?"
Li Shan laughed when he heard this. "Of course, height can. Gender, age, beauty, ugliness, and even eye size can also trigger the rules of the freak. However, these are still considered good. At least they have restrictions. The Ghost Bullet is truly terrifying when its restrictions are lifted … By the way, I have a feeling that the Ghost Bullet also has a limit. What do you think it is?"
The restriction of the freak's ability was very strange. Anyone who was shorter than it would be shocked once they entered its vicinity. Then, the freak's speed would increase by three times. In fact, Lin Yao felt that the hammer in its hand also had the ability to kill with one blow. However, it could only deal with people who had triggered its killing condition. Therefore, in the end, only the eight burly men were fighting at the front, and everyone was watching the show.
During this process, Lin Yao also pondered the restriction of the Ghost Bullet that Captain Li Shan had mentioned.
After a long while, he really thought of a possibility.
"Is it possible that the Ghost Bullet's ability to kill with one blow needs to be aimed at a target? If others block it, it will just be an ordinary air gun bullet."
"This is possible. In the past, this damn guy used to shoot in the gray fog, and our people would die when the gunshot was fired. We didn't know who it was aiming at. Fortunately, you're here."
"You're welcome. I'm also helping myself." As he spoke, he saw that the battle in front of him was about to end. Lin Yao also voiced his doubts. "Will we definitely die after the freak's ability is triggered? Is there no way for us to resist it?"
Lin Yao wanted to find a way to survive by asking this question.
However, after he asked this question, he was surprised to find that everyone was looking at him.
"What's the matter?"
In the face of Lin Yao's puzzled question, policewoman Wen Chang said, "Of course there is a way to resist it. Didn't you use profound meaning to resist the Ghost Bullet and the hammer monster just now?"
"Profound meaning?"
