Chapter 40: Pseudo-human monster
Wang Zhen, who was stabbed to death by the "Jiqu" and then hacked to death by a knife, had just woken up from his sleep a few minutes ago because of the noise of the Kabane falling on the roof of the car.

At this moment, he had not realized that his death was approaching and he would soon die at the hands of a Kabane.

As Fang Yi expected, Kabane launched a night attack, which was of course a literal attack on humans, not some kind of popular plot.

Under the wise and decisive leadership of the Purple Scarf Gang, Kotejō changed its originally safe route.

He chose to take a shortcut to Kongo Castle, but was jumped up by a group of Kabane wandering in the mountains, parachuted onto the Iron Fortress, and started a massacre.

Of course, this one-sided massacre was completely reversed when it came to the carriage of the reincarnationists, and Kabane became the prey that provided points to the reincarnationists.

A semi-digital body, skill scrolls granted by previous warrior training, and various strange talents.

Not to mention the pretenders who have participated in more than one mission, and the reincarnations who have received a small amount of point subsidies and added one or two skills.

There are also reincarnations like Zhuang Zhengyan who are enhanced by holy light. They can use low-cost control skills continuously to fill in the gaps, making it easier to score points.

The reincarnation space distributes points according to actual combat contributions. Therefore, when it comes to scoring, there are rarely conflicts among the reincarnationists over grabbing kills. Instead, they cooperate and help each other and take turns to maintain the front line.
-
But Li Gui and imposters like Wang Zhen showed little interest in it.

Although the pretender can obtain points in the reincarnation space by completing the mission in the reincarnation space, they are just numbers and will be invalidated when the pretender returns.

The skill scrolls and items they obtained in this mission belong to a different system for them who belong to the main god space.

Although they can bring them back to the space, they cannot use them. These products from other spaces are collectively called "contraband" in the main god space.

'Contraband' can bypass the space authentication mechanism and be brought into the space, although it cannot be used in one's own space.

However, when reincarnationists trade with each other, the space will determine that the "contraband" has a certain trading value. Through special channels, low-level reincarnationists can gain extra points out of thin air.

If the number of points gained from each transaction of 'contraband' is not large, it will not be noticed by the space.

It can be considered as one of the "cheating" ways for the "second generation" to bypass spatial limitations and obtain "funding" from their parents.

After the black market traders in both spaces have accumulated enough "contraband", they exchange the items through smuggling and then bring them back to their own spaces to cash in. This channel carries great risks, so naturally they have to choose high-value items for exchange.

After all, loading a truckload of CPUs and graphics cards for exchange would be very efficient, while loading a truckload of carrots for exchange would be extremely stupid.

As for the novice world scene, there is naturally not much hope of producing high-value "contraband".

The pretenders naturally focus on the tasks in the main god space, waiting for opportunities to hunt down the reincarnationists in the reincarnation space, obtaining a large number of points, and also obtaining rewards of different levels according to the opponent's talent category.

You can even spend points to solidify some of the other party's innate abilities into unlimited traits of your own.

This will be one of the few opportunities for some reincarnations with poor initial talents to "change their fate" and resist the "theory of original talent" besides using "bloodline items".

So Wang Zhen, the fake one, just symbolically found the direction of Kabane Shao to fish.

Then, they encountered a somewhat strange Kabane with two swords.

This Kabane did not roar like the other Kabane, but ran towards the Reincarnator in an awkward posture.

Instead, he crouched down and used the cover of other Kabane to get close to the Samsara team and suddenly attacked and injured them.

Although he was holding two swords and covered with strange biomass armor, Wang Zhen swung his sword to block and easily caught the opponent's sneak attack.

[A weak, unskillful chop]

Wang Zhen looked at this somewhat "cunning" elite Kabane with disdain, preparing to take the opponent away with the next blow.

Then, the force of the opponent's next attack made it almost impossible for him to hold the knife in his hand, and he lost his balance and flew out.

This elite Kabane raised the sword with both hands and directly cut the other reincarnations who were maintaining the line into two, while running towards Wang Zhen without stopping.

The perception brought by Wang Zhen's talent told him that if he didn't dodge this attack, he would die.

Wang Zhen opened his eyes wide and tried hard to catch the opponent's attack movements. Relying on the lightning-fast alertness brought by his talent, he narrowly avoided the slash of this elite Kabane.

Then, he saw a twisted, human-like smile on the face of the Kabane monster. He saw the Kabane slightly bent down and began to gather strength, and then its body turned into a shadow, appearing in front of him as if shrinking the earth.

When he came to his senses, the knife in the Kabane's hand had already pierced his heart, bringing a sharp and burning pain.

As a warm liquid flowed out of his chest, Wang Zhen felt his body gradually becoming colder and his vision became blurred.

The last image in Wang Zhen's mind was the somewhat stiff face of the Kabane in front of him, followed by a twisted and evil smile that seemed to mock him.

[So this is what death is like. I died at the hands of an elite monster. I never expected that.]

The cries of Li Gui in his ears became distant, and he moved his lips, wanting to say something to Li Gui.

【But time seems to be running out】

As consciousness faded, the pain and fear also left Wang Zhen's body.

The unconscious body was then split in two by the "Technique", and one half rolled directly down the gap in the carriage that was opened by the other sword of the Elite Kabane.

Jiqu turned his head and looked at Fang Yi who had just opened the car door, and a strange smile full of malice appeared on his stiff face again.

A chill suddenly ran down the spines of all the reincarnationists present.

'Ji Qu' leaned down again, raised the knife light that announced death with both hands, and after reaping the lives of several reincarnations along the way, he attacked Fang Yi.
-
Fang Yi felt a chill, not because of the other party's seemingly high level of swordsmanship, but because of the strange smile on the face of this Kabane.

It's like the uncanny valley effect, giving Fang Yi a feeling of being a fake human.

Unlike those ridiculously high-photoshopped coser images and lifelike but stiff-faced bionic robots, which give off a pseudo-human feel, this Kabane's face is the kind that you can tell at a glance whether it's human or not.

But the expression he made gave Fang Yi a strange feeling, as if a human soul was stuffed into the body of this Kabane.

Faced with this attack, Fang Yi chose to close the car door at the speed of light and then retreat.

A moment later, the door was deformed by Kabane's swordsmanship. Fang Yi raised the Desert Eagle and emptied a magazine that had been pre-loaded with positive energy using [Reversal Technique·Strengthening].

"Ji Qu" swung his sword to create two fan-shaped blocks, but one of the swords still hit his left chest, bringing the sound of strong acid corroding the muscles, and opening a bloody hole in his chest.

But as a blue light flashed on Jiqu's body, the injuries caused by the bullet healed at the speed of light.

The knife in his hand broke under the impact of bullets and continuous slashing. Ji Qu threw the broken knife away and held the knife with both hands to accumulate strength. Fang Yi was just about to dodge his attack.

Instead, this Kabane gave up on Fang Yi and turned around to slaughter the remaining reincarnations whose retreat was blocked.

Fang Yi watched the "Skill Taker" wreaking havoc among the reincarnations, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

[It feels a bit like the special human created by burning his soul before, which was strong in attack but weak in defense. This kind of strength will not last long before it declines.]

My bullets imbued with positive energy need to hit the 37-point point, triggering the [Ten-Stroke Spell] to deal enough damage to interrupt its movement. But it's a bit fast, so it's a bit difficult.

[Should we hold our ground and drag it out? With just the current [Gunner] character set, it seems difficult to kill the opponent before he weakens. Or should we reveal a few hidden cards? Earn some points.]

There were hurried footsteps behind him, Fang Yi turned his head and found it was Disma.

Following the robber's gaze, he saw that it was indeed "technique taking". Fang Yi immediately understood that this was the robber's mission target. He did not hesitate and asked directly.

"I'll try my best to restrict its movements. Are you sure?"

"Yes, but I don't have a weapon strong enough to penetrate his heart."

Fang Yi took out the standard knife and threw it to the robber, "Is that enough?"

"enough"

Fang Yi kicked open the deformed carriage door and rushed out side by side with the robber.
