Chapter 514: Passive Human Wave Tactics
The first two sword strikes didn't injure Hugo. He applied a potion to the wound immediately. Although his vision didn't recover, his other senses remained, so even though Xu Huo moved around him at his fastest speed, it was difficult to leave wounds on him.
However, Xu Huo also noticed another thing: as he shrank the space, Hugo stopped releasing the virus, and he himself was wearing a full set of protective suit, which was completely different from his previous state when using pathogens.
"Two forms?" For safety's sake, Xu Huo slightly increased the distance. He not only used the protective suit but also put on "Oxygen Supply" outside it. At the same time, he brought more monsters to this floor. After repeatedly consuming Hugo's characteristics and items, he gradually figured out some patterns.
First was transforming smaller objects into sharp weapons. Although the frequency of using this characteristic was high, it wasn't completely without limits. Each use required at least a thirty-second interval. Furthermore, whenever he used this move, he would invariably hold the scalpel in his hand. Therefore, it was possibly a combination of characteristic and item.
Second was disease transmission. Just as Bai Kou said, he could release pathogens through his hands. The pathogens used upstairs earlier typically only contaminated a very small area around the point of contact, and he himself was likely immune.
But the pathogens he used for self-rescue just now reproduced extremely quickly. A closer analogy would be the speed of a basin of water poured on the ground spreading out. After releasing this virus, his palm turned black, and he also used a protective suit.
Additionally, the item sewn under his wrist that could turn metal into dust didn't have very obvious limitations. He could use it continuously and freely control the size of the destruction range. However, this item hit a wall with Bai Kou's metal. Although it could damage the metal to a certain extent, it was far from completely dissolving it.
Furthermore, he had some other attack and defense items, but he wasn't as proficient with them as these three.
Hugo couldn't see, which affected his judgment to a certain extent. So when he tried to dissolve the floor or ceiling to escape, Xu Huo used illusions to mask his sense of touch, replacing the surfaces above and below him with doors, gradually deepening the influence of the illusion without him realizing it.
