Chapter 36 Hunting

"The trap's components..."

Xing Hechou was slightly startled when he heard this and thought about what he saw on the big screen of the tactical command vehicle.

"In fact, I became aware of the problem when the invisible hound broke through the plastic screen door."

Wang Congshan smiled and said: "It has the ability to blur, and can ignore terrain obstacles and pass through obstacles at will.

And this blurring effect has a very high priority of mystery.

Even the enchanted bullets fired by the assault rifle in my hand cannot hit the invisible hound in the virtual state.

As it burst into the room, attacked, and bit my right arm off,

I tried to fight back, but it retreated and activated its virtualization ability again to avoid it.

Although I lost an attack opportunity, I also collected several pieces of valuable information. "

Wang Congshan raised her palm, raised a finger, and said lightly: "First of all, its virtualization ability is very strange.

Can ignore terrain obstacles,

But it was bound by reality - when it attacked me, it stepped on the ground and there was a clear sound of four legs landing.

If the invisible hound could float and sink between floors at will, like a ghost, and pass through walls at will,

Then its attack strategy should be to jump out from the floor or ceiling at the back of the room, attack from behind, and bite off the prey's head.

This is more consistent with canine hunting principles.

There are many possibilities that it did not do so,

Perhaps it is not intelligent enough and is impatient to launch the next attack when it sees its prey injured;

Perhaps it is too confident and feels that it can hunt successfully without flashing behind its prey;

Perhaps it is able to travel at will, but the memory of being an animal in its lifetime has restrained it, making it bound by certain rules like an earthbound spirit. For example, it habitually steps on the floor and keeps its feet on the ground during hunting.

Regardless of the possibility, it is an advantage for me. "

Wang Congshan paused for a moment.

He raised his second finger and said, "The second bit of information is that the enchanted bullets of the assault rifle in my hand can effectively kill it.

It also realizes this and is wary of my counterattack.

Actively return to the virtual state and disappear.

In other words, my attack method can kill it.

The hunting between the two sides turned into a game dancing on the tip of a knife.

And the third point,"

Wang Congshan raised her third finger and said slowly: "Its virtualization ability has many restrictions and rules.

When I fired, it first let go of its bite on my right hand, and then entered the virtual state.

However, before it released its bite, my bullet still hit its body and disappeared in mid-air.

The enchanted bullet, after penetrating its fur and flesh, was covered by the virtual effect all over its body.

Just like the rotten human head that spat out of its mouth before.

It can be seen from this that

The blood of the invisible hound also has an invisible passive effect;

Moreover, the Invisible Hound cannot make a part of the body become insubstantial alone.

Once the formless state is activated, the whole body will inevitably lose its substantial form.

Otherwise, it can completely materialize the head and continue to bite my right hand.

At the same time, his body became invisible and avoided my bullets. "

Tap tap tap tap.

A group of heavily armed mobile task force soldiers walked out of the unfinished building quickly. Together they carried a rectangular box made of transparent bulletproof glass.

Through the glass, you can see that there is nothing inside the box.

But judging from the way the Mobile Task Force soldiers lifted heavy objects and the deep footprints they left,

There is some kind of extremely heavy transparent object placed in the box.

It must be the corpse of the invisible hound.

"The third piece of information is crucial. The Invisible Hound cannot arbitrarily dematerialize any part of the body, which means that when it can attack me, I will definitely be able to attack it.

Therefore, the fourth point is extended,

That is the limit of virtualization ability, or in other words, its effective form. "

Wang Congshan pursed her lips and said slowly: "There are two possibilities.

1. The invisible hound actively masters the virtualization ability, and it can control whether it is virtualized or not.

Second, the virtualization ability is more like a rule and an instinct for it, which is not under its own control.

When the conditions are met, it will be forcibly kicked out of the virtual state and have a solid form that is transparent but can be touched. "

"Two possibilities for the effective form..."

Xing He frowned slightly, lost in thought, while Li Ang glanced at Wang Congshan, who was smiling.

"The difference between these two effective forms is indistinguishable in most cases, but they are the key to my survival."

Wang Congshan smiled and said: "In the room at the stairway on the third floor,

After noticing my shooting, the invisible hound took the initiative to let go of its mouth that was biting my right hand, and at the same time entered the virtual state.

If it can actively control the virtualization ability, then why should it loosen its mouth, waste the crucial short time of letting go, and let itself be hit by bullets?

Wouldn't it be better to dissolve the form directly?

In order to further test this, I took the initiative to retreat and climbed along the scaffolding to the top of the unfinished building. "

Wang Congshan raised her chin towards the jungle of rusty scaffolding outside the unfinished building and said casually: "The top floor of the unfinished building has not been completed yet, and there are exposed steel bars everywhere.

This kind of open terrain that is difficult to trample on is more disadvantageous for me.

But if my deduction is correct and the invisible hound is accustomed to stepping on solid ground, then this terrain can also restrict its movements.

My injuries were quite serious at the time, and even after being hastily bandaged, I still lost a considerable amount of my combat effectiveness.

I casually dropped the mini bombs around, sat down to regain my strength, and at the same time, I applied a small amount of hemostatic gel on the top and bottom of my palm, and then penetrated my right hand with steel bars. "

Wang Congshan raised the palm of her right hand that was slightly stained with dust and said with a smile: "The trace amounts of anesthetic ingredients in the hemostatic gel can prevent me from passing out from the pain.

Secondly, the blood flowing from the palm can also emit scent and serve as bait.

Finally, and the most critical point. "

The expression on Wang Congshan's face became slightly serious, "Since the invisible hound most likely cannot take the initiative to master virtualization,

Then this ability should be derived from rules similar to earth spirit binding.

Recalling the previous attacks, the trigger condition for the invisible hound to exit the virtual state and take on physical form was that it attacked and hurt me.

In almost all mutation events, the rules that restrict the Earthbound Spirit are independent of the Earthbound Spirit's own will. As long as the triggering conditions are met, the rules will inevitably take effect.

In other words, if I can't counterattack instantly when the invisible hound attacks,

I can only try to make it have an attacking effect on me based on the rules. "

Xing Hechou felt as if lightning flashed across his mind. He looked at Wang Congshan's right palm and instantly understood what was going on, "You deliberately penetrated your palm with steel bars..."

"That's right."

Wang Congshan nodded and said: "With the steel bars penetrating, even a slight vibration from the surrounding steel jungle environment can affect the wound on my palm, causing pain and bleeding.

If the invisible hound follows the blood trail to the top floor, judging from its previous attack rules, it is likely to continue attacking me who seems to have no fighting ability.

Once it steps into my surrounding area and touches the steel bars on the ground,

The rule of [attack = materialization] will be triggered, and it will be regarded as launching an attack on me and possessing the entity.

And I can also press the mini bomb button according to the direction of the vibration frequency to detonate that area,

Combine it with enchanted bullets to kill. "

Wang Congshan put down her palm and said slowly: "Of course, these speculations about the rules are just guesses in the absence of more information.

I'm not 100% confident either.

I set a ten-minute stop-loss time limit for myself.

If the invisible hound does not appear within ten minutes,

Or if my actions of running steel bars through my palms didn’t work, I would use hemostatic gel to stop the wound to prevent myself from bleeding to death.

Then continue to engage in guerrilla warfare on the floors to seek more chances of survival.

but...

As long as there is more than a fifty percent chance of winning, it's worth the gamble, right? "

With a slightly shy expression on her face, she waved her hands and said amidst the noise of the slowly landing drones, "Judging from the results, I survived.

This is enough. "
