Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 118: The Friendship between Yang and Lu
Yuanze cut off his source power and looked at the five figures standing quietly and tensely under the water. The two team leaders were obviously aware of the tension of the situation and sent their respective Rongtong-level source warriors away.

"Isn't it too late to withdraw the source of power now?" The dwarf's eyes were full of cunning and he spoke provocatively.

"Haha, you still have the nerve to say that." The tall figure refuted back without showing any weakness.

The tall and mighty leader of the duo launched the first attack. He held a lightning spear in his hand and rushed left and right. Every swing was accompanied by dazzling lightning.

His opponent, the short team leader, could only dodge left and right, trying to avoid a head-on collision with the attack with lightning effects. The situation was overwhelming.

But attacking is often more advantageous than dodging, especially when facing an opponent who is stronger than you, you must suppress him and not give him the chance to counterattack.

The dwarf was careless and was hit on the side of his body by the opponent's superb spear skills. The special effects of lightning on the spear followed, which reduced the performance of the battle suit.

The opponent seized this flaw and launched his spear down like a violent storm. Every attack was like a swiftly leaping snake, drawing strange curves in the air.

Sometimes it was a straight stab, sometimes it was a sideways sweep, sometimes it was an upward thrust, and sometimes it was a downward chop. Each dazzling strike hit the dwarf's vital points, causing him immense pain.

The dwarf was overwhelmed by the continuous attacks and was completely caught up in the warrior's fighting rhythm. His dodging patterns were fully understood, and he was stabbed by the silver spear every time.

The warrior's spear flashed with silver light, and every time it was swung, it would bring up a string of blood flowers that drew arcs in the air, and even splashed onto the hot spring lurking in the distant source.

Yuan Ze witnessed all this and couldn't help but feel puzzled. He noticed that the dwarf's battle suit didn't seem to have the defensive effect it should have, and was easily broken by the warrior's attack.

This made him feel very strange. Logically speaking, even if the performance of this suit declined, it should still be able to maintain good defensive capabilities.

"This blood is wrong!"

Astra searched the database of the gene lock and finally understood why the dwarf did not appear to be weak and why the defense of the suit was so fragile.

This dwarf has the "Blood Sense Healing" locked in the flesh system gene. Unlike the muscular man encountered before, he has super strong physical recovery ability and requires bleeding as a activation condition.

Moreover, the blood attached to the opponent's body can help him accurately sense every subtle movement of the opponent. It seems that he is at a disadvantage, but in fact, the warrior has fallen into his trap.

The dwarf took advantage of the two-man team's disadvantages in numbers and strength, which means that the Rongtong-level Source Warrior had to face two opponents of the same level, so the team leader would definitely be anxious to get rid of him.

He had calculated all of this.

At the same time, his slender partner was clearly at a disadvantage when facing two opponents of the same level. Although he had an advantage in range and speed, the rapid consumption of his energy made him feel more stressed.

This made the warrior even more impatient and his attacks became more frequent. Lines made up of countless drops of blood fell from the air onto his battle suit.

In his eyes, the dwarf became more and more flexible. His dodging no longer followed a fixed routine. He was able to accurately predict his predictions and even had the energy to bypass the spear and counterattack.

At this moment, he discovered that the blood attached to his body was actually wrapped in some special source of power, which was like a thorn in his flesh and could not be shaken off. He stopped attacking instantly and stepped back to keep some distance.

At the same level, the Source Warrior who unlocked the gene lock had a great advantage, but he subconsciously ignored this possibility and acted rashly before figuring out his ability, which put him at a disadvantage. However, the dwarf did not chase him immediately, but followed the warrior slowly. Whenever the warrior pulled further away, the dwarf would follow his rhythm and shorten the distance.

The warrior understood the dwarf's intention. The dwarf wanted to delay time as much as possible and wait until his accomplices defeated his partner, and then the three of them would encircle and suppress the enemy together. This would be safer.

In order to break this situation, he acted decisively. He showed his fear of the dwarf's ability and pretended to think of a countermeasure. At the same time, he slowly retreated and gradually approached the battlefield on the other side.

Until he thought the time was right and wanted to speed up and rush to the other side of the battlefield. The dwarf also understood his intention, and directly predicted his trajectory, intercepted him in the middle, and showed his dagger.

At this time, the warrior who was sprinting at high speed could not suddenly change his direction. He could only apply a strong torque to his knees and forcefully change direction to the side, thus barely avoiding his fatal attack.

But the warrior's left waist and abdomen were still cut open with blood gushing out. At the same time, his knee was also injured, and the severe pain made it almost impossible for him to stand.

Because he had invested too much source power in the previous attack, he now did not have enough source power to support his quick recovery. He kept retreating, but found himself next to a hot spring.

He hunched over, his head lowered as he looked toward the lake, his breathless reflection reflected in his eyes. He placed his hands on his knees, then looked up and stared at the dwarf, trying to buy space and time to recover.

"Who are you? Can you unlock the genetic lock at the top level?" Mengshi's voice revealed disbelief and deep fear, which reminded him of the young man with terrifying talent.

"It seems that I don't need to wait for my people. And the dead are not qualified to ask questions."

The dwarf glanced at his warrior partner who was also in trouble, a sneer appeared on his face, and he no longer concealed his abilities, and the shocking scars on his body healed quickly.

He rushed towards him, dagger in hand.

The dagger pushed aside the spear that was blocking his chest, and then the dwarf used some basic boxing and kicking skills to remove all his defenses and stabbed directly into his heart.

As he pulled out the dagger, a stream of blood gushed out. Under the strong beating of the heart, the blood formed a striking column of blood, as if trying to break free from its restraints and rush towards the sky.

However, the relentless pull of gravity quickly brought the column of blood back to reality. After drawing a poignant arc in the air, the blood finally spilled onto the ground and the hot spring, dyeing the area red.

The man fell to the ground, but in the last moments of his life, his face went limp in the water. Yuanze under the water also saw clearly the person who came - Liu Shuiyun.

Their eyes met at that moment, but Liu Shuiyun's body was already unable to move. He could only squeeze out a glance and use lip language to convey his meaning to Yuan Ze:

"It's very dangerous, little brother, don't come up!"

Liu Shuiyun appears in Chapter 29 and Chapter 30 of Volume 2.
