Chapter 1371: Chapter 1371 – The Ghost Twins
200 meters away, Zhang Heng shot one of the Twins in the head accurately. Just as he was about to turn his gun on the other twin, the ‘corpse’of the fallen twin suddenly twitched, after that, he staggered up from the ground. After he stood up, he patted the dust off his body and revealed a smile.
His face, which had been damaged by the bullet, was recovering at a visible rate. His bones were repaired, his facial muscles were regenerated, and even his skin was completely repaired. There was no trace of the bullet left behind.
Zhang Heng frowned when he saw this, but he did not waste any time. He sent another bullet into the chest of another twin, and the same unbelievable scene happened again.
The body of the dead twin lay on the ground for less than two seconds before it miraculously began to move again, and the wound on its chest quickly healed.
Zhang Heng had previously encountered a player with an immortal body in the leakers’dungeon. The other party was the agent of the OATHSOME and Abominable Goddess, Styx. His body had been soaked in the Styx River before, and other than a weakness that only he knew of, his body was invulnerable.
However, the twins that Zhang Heng had encountered this time were obviously different from the players that he had encountered before. Zhang Heng had seen with his own eyes that after the bullets hit their bodies.., it did cause corresponding damage to the parts that were hit, but in the next moment, they were able to crawl back up from the ground as if nothing had happened.
Therefore, this was more like a rapid healing skill.
However, Zhang Heng was still unsure whether this healing skill came from a certain item or their own ability, whether there was a time limit and the number of times they could use it.

However, Zhang Heng did not want to waste his precious sniper bullets on probing. He decisively bypassed the two of them and aimed at another player wearing a bulletproof vest. He pulled the trigger.
Blood splattered everywhere. The target’s body leaned back and fell weakly to the ground.
At that moment, Zhang Heng also noticed that the encirclement around him had started to tighten. He did not covet the credit. He decisively put away the SR-25 and continued to move to the next location.
However, this time, Zhang Heng ran into trouble on the way to the next location. The two twins had relied on their immortal ability to move extremely quickly. At first, they were just casually walking around like they were taking a stroll, but then, their footsteps became faster and faster until they were fully sprinting. They were like two deer, leaping and weaving through the forest.
At the same time, in order to cooperate with their movements, the man in sunglasses also specially took out a small team to suppress Zhang Heng, therefore, this time, Zhang Heng only moved less than 50 meters before the twins caught up to him.
However, the two did not rush to attack. One of them even bowed to Zhang Heng and said, “Mr. Simon, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Zhang Heng also looked at the Twins in front of him. “What’s Your Name?”
“Light arc, the Ghost Twins,”the other person smiled, “We don’t mean any harm. Light arc has always insisted on sitting down with Mr. Simon, so we have no intention of fighting Mr. Simon. We just want to ask Mr. Simon to stay here for a while.”
“Wait until your people have finished surrounding me?”Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
“If that’s enough to make you sit down, after all, the survival of the entire human race depends on you now. This is no longer a matter for you alone. We believe that Mr. Simon is not a person who waits for death. You may already have some plans and ideas. We just think that we should have the right to know about this matter, and we might even be able to help you, don’t you think so?”

“For the time being, the two of you stepping aside will be of the greatest help to me,”Zhang Heng said calmly.
The twin brothers looked at each other and one of them said regretfully, “Looks like we can only come here today to experience Mr. Simon’s power.”
Zhang Heng did not waste any more time. Previously, when he was talking to the twin brothers, he had also been observing the surrounding movements. According to his estimation, in about three minutes, the other side’s encirclement would be complete.
In other words, he had to solve the problem in front of him within the next three minutes.
Therefore, without any probing, Zhang Heng pulled out the [ hidden scabbard ] from his waist and slashed at one of the twins!
Even though the twins were ready for battle, the speed of Zhang Heng’s slash was still beyond their imagination. They could barely see a ray of light before one of their arms flew into the sky, blood spurted out of the wound and dyed the ground red.
However, the next moment, the shocking scene happened again.
A new section of white bone was extracted from the wound, and soon, the bone was covered by muscles and blood vessels, becoming thicker and thicker..
Zhang Heng had seen the Twins reborn twice before, but this was the first time he was so close to them. In just a few seconds, the broken arm was completely reconstructed, no known species in the natural world could achieve such a powerful regenerative ability.
“Sorry to have embarrassed you,”said the severed arm. However, it was clear that even though it possessed an almost invincible regenerative ability, the pain of losing an arm was real. His forehead was covered in sweat, obviously, the pain from earlier was not light, but no matter what, he did survive the [ hidden scabbard ]’s blade.
And this was the first person Zhang Heng had met who had survived [ hidden scabbard ]’s attack. One had to know that with the blade’s tyrannical non-healing properties, being hit by it meant death.
But not only did the twins survive, they even grew a new arm. Zhang Heng looked at the spot where he had struck earlier, but there wasn’t a single wound left.
Zhang Heng’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the twins’ability wasn’t healing?
Seeing that his brother was safe and sound, the other man shook his head, “It’s useless. Your attack won’t have any effect on us. At most, it’ll only cause us pain. Even though I’ve been afraid of pain since I was young, I can hold on for a few minutes until the encirclement is complete.”
Before he could finish his sentence, an arrow had pierced through his throat. He looked at Zhang Heng, who had suddenly bent his bow, and his face was filled with excitement. It was as if he did not understand why Zhang Heng would switch to using a bow and arrow when he had a gun in his hand, however, he still grabbed the arrow that had pierced through his throat with one hand and pulled it out with great difficulty.
After he had done all this, his throat quickly returned to its original state like the previous few times.
