Chapter 77: The Majesty of the Feathered Serpent
The smoke from the grenade explosion dissipated. Compared with ordinary bullets, the damage caused by the grenade explosion seemed to be much greater to the monster.
Unlike before when it ignored the bullets, the monster took advantage of the smoke to return to the woods, leaving behind only the rustling sound of leaves being moved.
Calvin walked quickly to Luke's side, and the two of them slowly retreated to a position close to the open space but farther away from the cabin.
The reason they didn't go in was because the walls of the wooden house could not withstand the impact of the monster. After entering the house, the ground was slippery with blood, and the walls blocked their vision, which was disadvantageous to the two of them.
While the monster was away, Calvin asked Luke to help keep alert, took out his cell phone and fiddled with it for a few times, frowning and flipping through it, taking a close look.
"This is the Wendigo," he said suddenly, "a monster that has evolved from eating humans."
"It is not afraid of swords and guns, is immune to physical damage to a large extent, and is weak to fire."
"Also, it will be tortured by hunger and will never give up its prey. So, we don't have to consider retreating."
After saying this, Calvin put away his phone, raised his gun again and stood alert with his back to Luke.
"Didn't you bring your flamethrower?" The thing was so big that it could be seen at a glance. Calvin continued to ask, "What about the white phosphorus incendiary bomb? Did you bring it?"
"Fuck you!" Luke cursed. "Who uses white phosphorus bombs in the forest? Aren't they afraid of getting burned to death? I didn't bring any!"
"It's you! Didn't I tell you not to be exposed to too much extraordinary information? How come you know more than me? Don't you want to use your brain anymore?"
Although he got the information about the monster's intelligence and weaknesses, Luke still scolded it with a sour face.
However, Calvin didn't take it too seriously and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I just used the big data system to collect some true and false rumors on the Internet. Moreover, I didn't even read these rumors. I simply converted them into documents and stored them in a special information database on my phone."
"After encountering a monster, you only need to input their basic information and perform a fuzzy search to extract relevant information."
Good guy Calvin, he actually thought of this. Is this still my good brother who only has muscles but no brains?
Whoever you are, get off Calvin!
After getting clues about the monster, Luke and Calvin knew that the guns in their hands could not be trusted. Luke put down the AR-47 and pulled out the Thunder Flash.
It is not afraid of physical attacks, but the lightning damage attached to [Thunder Flash] can always hit a critical hit.
Calvin held the shotgun steadily. Even if the bullet could not cause much damage, the impact force of the shotgun was not in vain. At least it could slow down the opponent's movement speed.
Luke handed him the grenades he had on him, leaving him with four in total. The instantaneous high-temperature flames generated by the explosion of these grenades posed a great threat to the Wendigo. The monster, driven by hunger, had not launched an attack until now, which showed that it was afraid of these small balls that could explode.
However, a monster is a monster. Before it evolves a sufficient brain, it will not be able to restrain its instinctive impulses for long.
After a moment, the energy shield in front of Luke had not yet dissipated naturally. Wendigo instinctively knew that he was difficult to deal with, so he changed his position in the woods, changed his angle, and rushed towards Calvin.
Perhaps the flame from the grenade caused considerable damage, the monster's speed seemed to be much slower than before, and it no longer had the exaggerated effect that seemed to exceed the limits of visual observation.
If you look closely, you can see that the tough membrane on its surface has also been burned by the flames and disappeared a lot.
The monsters that are invulnerable to swords and guns and move as fast as the wind are extremely powerful. However, once they are attacked at their weak points, they are also very fragile. This is the role of intelligence from the extraordinary world.
"coming!"
Calvin yelled.
While calling Luke's attention, he immediately pulled the ring of a grenade and threw it in the direction of the Wendigo's attack.
There was another loud explosion, but unfortunately, the Wendigo, which was moving at high speed and on guard, completely avoided the middle range of the grenade explosion, and the shock waves from the periphery could not even shake its body.
Apart from making the Wendigo take a longer detour, the grenade had no effect.
In this situation, Calvin didn't feel a bit of fear in his heart. He even seemed to have returned to the state he was in when facing the school shooter.
Excited, yet calm.
The muzzle of the shotgun was pointed in the direction of the Wendigo. If the shot was accurate, it would definitely stop the monster's movement, and then Luke would have the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
At this moment, just as at that moment.
Just like how he killed the gunman with one blow, Calvin believed that this time, Luke would be able to turn the situation around before the Wendigo pounced on him.
Closer, closer.
Only when the distance is close enough can the shotgun's power be maximized and cause the most blocking effect on the Wendigo. Luke can also better use the straight knife flashing with lightning to attack this extremely fast monster.
The ancient barbaric blood of the Vikings surged in his veins, causing him to completely ignore the pressure from the ferocious monster attacking him, and his hand holding the gun became increasingly stable.
At this time, Luke was naturally not idle either.
The moment the Wendigo appeared, he held the straight knife upright in front of him, and according to the tradition of [Aztec War Sacrifice Sword Technique], he vibrated his chest and throat, and uttered bursts of chants that simulated the voice of the feathered serpent.
This voice connected with Luke's mental power, causing him to exude a breathtaking majesty, as if he had turned into a warrior wearing a tall crown and jade armor.
The enemy is the sacrificial sacrifice who is tied to the altar and kneels down to face the gods.
For a moment, the Wendigo seemed to see a huge snake with feathers and wings, hovering in the sky. The snake's eyes were like the sun, and the scorching light penetrated the endless void and pierced directly into its simple brain.
The spiritual pressure brought by the chanting of the mastery-level [Aztec War Sacrifice] was not very strong at first, but the Quetzalcoatl, the symbol of the sky and the sun, was still too terrifying for the newborn Wendigo.
Its legs couldn't help but go limp, and if it hadn't swung its slender body as hard as it could, it would have almost fallen. But before it could react, Calvin found the flaw and immediately pulled the trigger, quickly firing all the remaining bullets in the shotgun in his hand.
The lead bullets, driven by the expanding gas from the burning and exploding gunpowder, hit the Wendigo with tremendous force. Although it still did not cause any damage, the continuous waves of impact made it completely unable to control its body and it fell directly to the ground.
After the shotgun was fired, Calvin put away his gun and dodged to the side. Luke had already ridden the wind to the side of the Wendigo.
