Chapter 196: Little Tricks

Bucciarati stepped forward fearlessly.

The steel chain fingers were waving the weapon in their hands with ease, making this ordinary thick wooden stick dance with great vigor.

The situation reversed in an instant.

Anthony, who had tried desperately to make Bucciarati appear, felt an unspeakable pressure after getting his wish.

Looking directly into Bucciarati's eyes which were calm but surging with anger, he actually had the illusion that he would definitely be defeated and killed.

"hateful…"

"You actually used such a brainless trick."

Anthony pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes gradually became firm under the heavy pressure:

"In that case, let's have a fair fight!"

"Let's see whether you can break through the blockade and attack me first, or I will devour you before you succeed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-skinned toad suddenly stepped forward.

It stood firmly in front of Anthony, using its huge body to perfectly protect its master.

At the same time, Bucciarati approached under the protection of his steel chain fingers.

finally…

Bucciarati arrived 7 meters in front of the black toad, which was the maximum distance that the long tongue could attack.

"River King!"

"Steel Chain Fingers!"

Two shouts rang out at the same time.

The long dark red tongue created a phantom in the air like a colorful ribbon flying in the sky.

In an instant, a strong wind blew, and the phantom was so fast that it was difficult to see clearly.

But the steel chain fingers can block it.

It accurately grasped the direction of the enemy's attack, and while running forward, it swung a "sword light" from bottom to top.

Bang!

The wooden stick and the long tongue collided at high speed in mid-air.

With a crisp sound, a dark red fish-shaped mark suddenly appeared on the wooden stick, and the larger, wider and longer tongue suddenly bounced back to the side under the huge impact.

The arm with the steel chain fingers tightly grasping the wooden stick trembled violently, but its body movement as it rushed forward was as steady as before.

The battle line advanced to the 6th meter.

Anthony subconsciously covered his mouth.

The blow just now was quite powerful, and his tongue was once again swollen and red in pain.

But Anthony did not stop fighting.

The excitement brought by the head-on confrontation suppressed the pain, and the tremendous pressure of fighting for life and death also forced out his potential.

He used his explosive mental power to drive his stand to attack with all his strength.

The long tongue that had just been knocked away immediately twisted and turned rapidly in mid-air, and in the next moment it struck back at the opponent that was attacking from the front.

It is extremely fast and its attack is as quick as a shadow.

The steel-chained fingers swung again to meet the attack.

Bang!

It's like a samurai fight in a swordplay movie, or a swordsman competition in a fencing match.

The "sword" and the "whip" collided quickly in the air, and then separated immediately after the collision.

The winner is still the steel chain finger.

It once again repelled the enemy's invasion at the cost of an extra fish-shaped mark on the wooden stick.

And Zhan Feng had already approached to the 5th meter.

"Come again!"

Anthony also became ruthless.

He ignored his battered tongue and desperately urged the River King to continue the attack.

The long and flexible tongue was like a completely enraged poisonous snake. It tensed its body in mid-air and suddenly exerted force, desperately biting towards the steel chain fingers.

Soon, the third vibration suddenly broke out in the forest.

The fish-shaped marks on the wooden stick overlapped to three, and the next moment, it disappeared out of thin air from the steel chain fingers.

4th meter.

The combat power unleashed by the black-skinned toad should not be underestimated.

The tongue that was knocked away quickly twisted back, desperately blocking Bucciarati's way.

The steel-chain finger raised the second wooden stick in its hand and drew the sword to attack again.

The 3rd meter.

At this time, Bucciarati was only two steps away from the big black toad.

He could even see the black-skinned toad's hideous mouth and the sharp and terrifying fangs in its mouth.

At this time, the two sides fought again, and the marks on the wooden sticks accumulated to two.

2nd meter.

The third mark appeared, and the second wooden stick was inexplicably swallowed up along with the flying tongue.

The last 1 meter.

In that brief moment just now...

Bucciarati advanced 5 meters, and the steel chain finger quickly exchanged blows with the enemy 6 times.

They lost two sticks they had picked up from the woods, but what they gained was an opportunity, a chance to engage the enemy head-on.

“Ali ali ali ali!”

The steel chain finger punched the black-skinned toad in front of it without hesitation.

The blue fist shadow slammed into the giant toad's huge body, which was as fat as a ball, like a strong wind, and instantly caused waves of flesh to ripple.

"Well!"

Anthony, who was next to the big toad, then let out a cry of pain.

At the same time, the big black-skinned toad staggered back uncontrollably.

"this?"

Bucciarati's pupils shrank.

He was somewhat surprised to find that the maximum firepower just unleashed by the Steel Chain Fingers did not seem to cause any serious damage to the enemy.

The big black-skinned toad quickly stood firm after retreating slightly. The deformed flesh on its body swayed like jelly for a few times, and then quickly returned to its original shape.

It's like a ball of plasticine, it won't break no matter how hard you knead it.

"hehe."

Anthony wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gave Bucciarati a bloody sneer:

"Do you think the body of the river king can be hurt as easily as its tongue?"

"Let me tell you, its ability to withstand blows is stronger than you think!"

What the stand feeds back to the original body is the injury, not 100% of the strength.

Otherwise, if two stand-ins with strength A were to fight each other, the original body would have been shaken to death by the "original" feedback of force.

Therefore, the stand actually has a hidden attribute - the ability to withstand blows.

The smaller the Stand is, the less able it is to withstand blows, for example, Sexy Pistol:

If those six little guys were pinched with a little force, Mista, as the real body, would be seriously injured and vomit blood.

On the contrary, the larger the stand is, the stronger its ability to withstand blows.

Just like the big black-skinned toad now, this guy has a broad face and a big mouth, is as strong as an ox, is ten feet tall, and has a waist that is ten times wider than the ground. Standing there is as big as a small mountain, and the fat on his body is as thick as a city wall.

In the face of such a solid defense, the strength that the steel chain fingers were so proud of became a complete joke.

“Not good!”

"I just used all my strength, but I didn't expect that I could only cause minor injuries to the main body."

Bucciarati's expression became a little stiff.

The two wooden sticks had completely disappeared, and the attack failed to cause the expected powerful damage to the enemy.

Now that Steel Chain Fingers has no weapons in his hands, he can only use his body to resist if he is hit again.

"no way…"

"I'm already here."

In a split second, Bucciarati made a quick decision.

He was already close to the giant toad and it was too late to retreat.

Since attacking the substitute would not have any killing effect, it would be better to take a gamble in this desperate situation and try to attack Anthony's real body directly.

Thinking of this, Bucciarati immediately turned around.

He and his steel chain fingers bypassed the black-skinned toad's obstruction and charged towards Anthony who was standing two meters away.

"it's useless!"

Anthony shouted with a distorted expression:

"Now it's my turn!"

As soon as the words fell, the long and flexible tongue shot out again.

Now Steel Chain Fingers has no weapons to use, and there was originally a layer of fish-shaped mark on its body, which has not disappeared until now.

In other words, if the steel chain finger is hit by that tongue two more times, it will disappear from this world.

And at this critical moment...

Bucciarati leaped forward and suddenly blocked the steel chain fingers.

Humans would definitely not be able to dodge the high-speed attack of that tongue, but it would be very easy to face it and get hit.

Relying on the strong physique he had developed through years of training, Bucciarati quickly raised his left arm to block himself, and used his body to withstand the high-speed attack of the thick and long tongue.

The black-skinned toad's attack power is not that strong, and is roughly on par with that of a trained human.

So after taking the tongue, Bucciarati only suffered minor injuries and was able to continue standing in the front tenaciously.

"I see…"

"I want to use my real body to block the knife for my double, so that I can get hit by the tongue more often and bear more marks."

"But, so what?"

Anthony stared closely at the freshly baked red fish-shaped mark on Bucciarati's hand.

His eyes sparkled with excitement:

"Since you want to block it, then I'll let you block it!"

"Let's see whether you can attack my body first, or I can throw you into the belly of the River King first!"

At this moment, Bucciarati and the steel chain finger were only two meters away from him.

But this two-meter distance is enough for the extremely fast long tongue to launch continuous attacks.

"Come again!"

Amidst Anthony's nervous and excited shouts...

Bucciarati charged forward with his Stand, and the black-skinned toad's long tongue attacked again.

Just like before.

But this time, it was no longer a wooden stick that blocked the tongue, but Bucciarati 's body and his arm that he stretched out.

“Two floors!”

Anthony was extremely excited.

He held his breath, looking forward to what would happen next.

"River King!"

The black-skinned toad suddenly stretched out its huge dark red tongue.

The tongue attacked Bucciarati like a folded lightning, so fast that it was frightening.

At this time, the steel chain finger was rushing towards Anthony with all his strength.

It was as if it had completely forgotten about its master, whose body already had two marks on it. It was only concerned with protecting itself and letting its master protect it, completely ignoring the tongue flying over.

The roles of the stand-in and the original person seem to be reversed here.

then…

Unsurprisingly, the tongue hit Bucciarati's arm for the third time.

On that arm, three dark red fish-shaped marks glowed in the dim light.

“Hahahaha…right now!”

"Swallow him!"

Anthony shouted excitedly.

The black-skinned toad suddenly opened its bloody mouth, and the invisible and terrifying force of space was activated .

At this moment...

Bucciarati's left arm, the one that had received three attacks and had three marks on it, disappeared.

However, only an arm disappeared.

He was just missing an arm, but he was still standing there intact, and might even rush towards Anthony with steel chain fingers in the next second.

"How is that possible?!"

Time almost stands still.

Anthony's expression also became extremely ugly.

It was like he had opened a membership and downloaded the content, only to find out that the resource he had found was the complete collection of Calabash Brothers. He suddenly fell from heaven to hell and was completely confused.

"Why was Bucciarati fine? Why did he only swallow one hand?!"

The River King's ability has always been to devour the marked object entire.

Unless the object is extremely large, it is impossible for such an unexpected situation to occur where only a part of it can be swallowed.

And, even more shockingly…

After his arm was swallowed, Bucciarati not only showed no pain, but the wound didn't even bleed.

It was as if that arm wasn't his.

"Wait... could it be?"

Anthony was extremely shocked when he thought of something.

"I'm sorry. I lied."

"Although I wanted to defeat you fairly, I still played some tricks on you."

Bucciarati said calmly:

"I wasn't hiding in the shadows to pick up sticks. I was picking up arms."
