Chapter 157: Extraordinary and Holy, Returning to the World with the Supernatural State (4)

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Yun shot out three flying needles. The flying needles avoided all the wolves and went straight for the Wolf King behind. To capture bandits, one had to capture the leader. This was an unchanging principle.
“Howl…
One of the flying needles pierced the wolf king’s right eve. and the other two pierced the wolf king’s throat and head. The huge pain did not kill the wolf king, but it wailed and crawled into the forest.
The Wolf King had already run away, and the wolf pack had also dispersed. Other than the wolves that had lost their mobility or had their lives taken by Su Yun, the other wolves quickly fled.
“Phew…” At this moment, Su Yun secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If it were anyone else, they would not have an easy time facing the entire wolf pack. Fortunately, he had the flying needles and card skills. Su Yun was not too flustered and had enough ability to protect himself.
“Squeak squeak…”
Just as Su Yun was about to clean up the wolf’s corpse, a strange sound suddenly came from the forest. Immediately after, a nimble figure darted around the tree and quickly appeared on a tree not far from Su Yun.
It was a monkey. It looked about the size of a golden monkey, but its breed was very strange. This was because this monkey did not have any mixed fur on its body. Its entire body was snow-white and was very rare. It looked like a white ape from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
However, the white ape was only a legend. The white fur monkey in front of him was real. This monkey seemed to be very curious about Su Yun. As it squeaked, it sized up Su Yun with a pair of lively eyes.
“Here we go again…” Su Yun sighed helplessly. This monkey was considered a regular here. Since yesterday, this monkey had appeared here from time to time and stayed for the entire day, as if it was very interested in his training.
Su Yun looked at its white fur and wondered if it was an albino monkey. Of course, it could also be a protected animal he did not know, so he naturally did not dare to provoke it easily. During this period, he had also tried to drive it away, but the monkey would always come back after running for a while.
Not only was this monkey’s breed strange, but more importantly, it did not seem to be afraid of humans. Every time Su Yun looked at it, it would bare its big teeth, as if it wanted to smile and deliberately express goodwill.
As time passed, Su Yun did not reject it anymore. Since he could not chase it away, he did not force it. It was as if there was an additional audience. After removing all the silver needles nailed everywhere, Su Yun placed them in a box at the side.
“Hiss hiss…”
A subtle sound came from the forest behind him. His trained perception immediately determined that it was a snake. Without any hesitation or aim in advance, Su Yun threw the remaining silver needle in his hand based on his instincts and instantly nailed it seven inches away from the green snake.
However, this obviously could not kill it quickly. Just like when he was dealing with the wolf pack just now, one or two silver needles could not kill them. Therefore, Su Yun casually took out another poker card and dealt the finishing blow.
The throwing cards accurately cut the green snake in half.
“Although the flying needles have powerful penetrative power, just like this snake, if they only hit ordinary parts of the human body, they can’t cause any damage. Even important parts of the human body can’t quickly cause fatal damage. This is a huge flaw in the flying needle technique!”
This was something that Su Yun had been thinking about recently and had a headache.
This was because before he completely mastered the flying needle technique, he realized that although the flying needle had a strong penetrative power, it was too thin. Moreover, it did not have the explosive power of a spiral drill like a bullet. Therefore, simply penetrating the wound would cause the wound to be small and not lethal enough.
Just like the minimally invasive puncture surgery in the hospital, the wound was much larger than silver needles, but it did not say that it could kill. By the same logic, even if a silver needle entered a person’s body, how could it kill them?
“At the moment, among the many body parts, the silver needles had to pierce through the center of the brows completely for one to die quickly! As for the other parts… I’m temporarily helpless.
“For example, the heart. Usually, when a heart is injected with needles, which are even thicker than silver needles, it won’t cause fatal damage to the heart. If I want to harm the heart through ‘injections’, unless I find places like the sinus knot, under such circumstances, no matter how small the needle is, it will cause the other party to die directly.
“But this is too difficult. If one is not a medical student, it’s very difficult to accurately find a special location of the organs.” Su Yun sighed and realized that the silver needles were indeed undetectable. They were a sharp weapon for assassination, but from the looks of it, they were too weak.
And in the middle of his forehead was the only known death acupoint he had developed. This was because there was a brain stem between his eyebrows. Once the brain stem was hit, it could die.
This was also why when shooting at various parts of the body, even if one’s heart was hit, they could live for a few seconds or even dozens of seconds. However, if they were shot between the eyebrows, their consciousness would instantly dissipate, and then their bodies would die.
This was because of the brain stem.
“There must be other death acupoints or other places that can be developed. Unfortunately, I can’t study them for the time being. Or should I say that silver needles are quenched with poison? That’s a good idea.”
Su Yun believed that the use of silver needles was not only limited to this. They could also be used as an alternative technique, such as quenching poison with silver needles to become a medium.
Or, if all the silver needles entered the body, such as the heart, it would make people unconscious for a short period of time. However, a few days later, because the silver needles had always existed in key parts of the body, it would cause serious illness or even death..
