【Weakness: The butcher's back is extremely vulnerable, try focusing your attacks there.】
【Ding! Weakness revealed, the death lines will now be depicted for the host.】
It seems the mutated zombie's weakness is different from that of ordinary zombies, not necessarily in the head.
But what are these death lines?
Ning Yu was currently at the butcher's side, able to see part of its back.
Its fat back seemed to be marked, outlined with red lines that glowed faintly, varying in thickness.
It appears that attacking these marked areas can cause fatal damage to the butcher.
So these are the death lines, like a special skill added by the system.
Ning Yu only then noticed that under [Detection (Intermediate)], there was a very small line of gray text, so small it was almost invisible:
【As long as it's alive, even a god can be killed】
This phrase sounds familiar.
Since the weakness is revealed on the back, then a righteous backstab is necessary.
There's an old saying:
Hairy is weak to fire, large is weak to doors, fat is weak to the rear.
It holds true.
The butcher swung its thick arms, and the hook was launched again.
Ning Yu rushed towards the direction of the hook, wanting to quickly close in on the butcher.
Just as the hook was about to strike her, she slightly shifted her body, and the hook grazed past her.
Her physical abilities had just been enhanced, and after drinking the blood of her beloved from [Blood's Ancient Wish], she was faster than when she first encountered the butcher!
After dodging, she lightly stepped on the ground for leverage and continued to charge at the butcher, getting closer and closer, her silver hair flowing backward.
The butcher wasn't stupid either; realizing the hook missed, it didn't immediately try to retrieve it.
After all, the person was already coming.
It let out a terrifying roar, swinging its blood-stained giant cleaver towards Ning Yu!
Having witnessed its terrifying strength, Ning Yu naturally wouldn't confront it head-on. She dodged just as the cleaver was about to land.
She leaped forward, stepping on the cleaver as it hit the ground, soaring over its towering body.
In front of the clumsy butcher, Ning Yu was like an elegant silver-haired elf.
Her target was naturally the butcher's back, her crimson Tang sword already aimed at the death lines on its back, ready to strike!
But at that moment, Ning Yu's pupils suddenly dilated.
A familiar sense of crisis surged in her heart, intensified by her heightened mental power:
Danger!
The butcher's back suddenly expanded with flesh, sprouting two extra giant hands that clenched into fists and struck towards her.
Ning Yu immediately changed her move in mid-air, kicking the butcher and propelling herself away, raising her sword in defense.
The two giant fists slammed into the blade, immediately cut by the sharp Tang sword.
Ning Yu could feel she had struck bone.
The fists sent her flying, and after multiple attempts to stabilize, she landed firmly, not far from the butcher.
She almost lost grip of her sword.
If not for hitting bone, those fists might have pierced through the sword and struck her.
The back is indeed its weakness, but it didn't expect it to have two extra arms, probably meant to defend its weak spot.
First, I need to deal with those extra arms.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning tore through the sky, illuminating the rooftop of the cafeteria in a ghastly white.
Following was a loud thunderclap.
"Boom!"
Then, large and small raindrops poured down like pearls, soaking Ning Yu's clothes and hair.
The rooftop, due to the heavy rain, was shrouded in a thin mist.
Visibility was severely hindered.
The once desolate rooftop of the cafeteria was now filled with the symphony of raindrops.
The sudden rain caught Ning Yu off guard.
But soon, she revealed a mysterious smile that the butcher couldn't see.
It's time for a different combat style.
The rain hindered not only Ning Yu but also the butcher.
It was hindered by the rain in both vision and hearing, suddenly unable to see the annoying insect.
Her presence seemed to have vanished.
Did she flee out of fear?
Its limited intelligence started to work, its ugly eyeballs rotating, a sign of its tiny CPU processing.
Suddenly, it sensed movement behind it, and its giant cleaver swung back fiercely!
The rain was affected by this terrifying force, creating a momentary vacuum.
Yet, this strike hit nothing, only a small pebble on the ground.
Tricked!
As it turned around, it heard a "clang!" of a sword.
A crimson blade suddenly slashed out from the rain, and the butcher reacted, its extra arms blocking.
"Ssssh!"
But this was a full-power strike, a precise cut, a premeditated assassination.
One of the ugly extra arms was severed and fell onto the rain-soaked rooftop.
Ordinary zombies lose their sense of pain, but mutated zombies regain it.
"Aaaah!"
It let out a huge wail, the sound wave making the rain tremble.
Its cleaver, having swung empty, slashed wildly at the assailant, but hit nothing.
It swung its giant cleaver around like a blind man, futilely, as if dancing some clumsy dance.
The blood-red blade and the crimson eyes had retreated, hidden in the endless rain curtain.
The nature of the battle had changed, from warrior vs. warrior to assassin vs. tank.
The butcher kept rotating its fat body, trying to find the damn insect.
"Click!"
Another familiar sound, but this time the butcher didn't fall for it, not immediately turning to swing its cleaver.
However, the lightning-fast blade appeared directly behind it, and this time Ning Yu actually struck.
Deceive when it's false, strike when it's true, the art of war is deception.
"Ssssh!"
The butcher, fooled again, could only defend, losing another extra arm.
The assassin, tasting blood, had eyes even more crimson in the rain.
But this time, the butcher's cleaver was faster! It struck right in front of Ning Yu.
"Clang!"
A loud metallic crash rang out, Ning Yu defended but was still hit by the immense force.
Resisting the terrifying impact of the giant cleaver head-on was too difficult.
She was sent flying, unable to maintain her stance.
Seeing this, the butcher showed a cruel smile, ready to dismember this troublesome prey piece by piece.
Its hook, already retracted, was swung out again, aimed at the flying Ning Yu.
Now in mid-air, she had no way to dodge.
Caught!
This lowly insect finally fell for it!
Feeling the resistance from the hook, the butcher knew it had hooked something.
It began to reel in the hook, but a strange situation occurred.
The hook and chain started to spin around it.
If this continued, when it was reeled in, it would be wrapped around itself.
It immediately reacted, spinning along with it.
It hoped to counteract the spin from the end, preventing the chain from wrapping around it.
So it spun like a carnival ride, the hook whirling, the radius of its spin shortening as it reeled in.
The tremendous centrifugal force made the hook float.
When it finally reeled in the hook, it found it empty, nothing attached!
It immediately became alert, looking around nervously.
Where did she go!?
