The Argo Goes West

41, Dragon Fights Against Minotaur, part 3

The Minotaur swung punches in No Guard style. Billy dodged it by jumping back and forth and side to side like a rabbit. He took advantage and kicked the Minotaur's shin. However, it was unable to damage the Minotaur's well-trained muscles. The Minotaur snorted wildly and stretched out his arms to hug Billy, trying to stop him from moving.

The Mad Bomber's hole wasn't wide enough for a man to pass through, and guns were the only way they could help Billy.

Slim peered into Lord Granger's memento optical sight. Billy and the Minotaur were captured on the enlarged screen.

"Aim for the back of the neck," whispered Orpheus. "That should be the Minotaur's weak point."

"All right"

Slim pulled the trigger of his rifle. One shot, two shots, three shots. The bullet hit the back of the Minotaur's neck, causing blood to splatter. But the Minotaur didn't budge.

"Why?"

"That's strange. That's the cow's vital point."

"It's not a cow. It's a Minotaur."

"Yes."

The Minotaur pounced. Billy slipped under the monster's armpit. He stood behind his opponent and made a quick turn. A tornado kick hit the side of the Minotaur's head.The Minotaur staggered heavily and fell face up on the ground. Billy has ridden on top of the Minotaur. "Ata~a~a!" With a high-pitched yell, he pummeled the minotaur's protruding nose with his fists. The Minotaur's face was immediately covered in blood. But the Minotaur fought back. It grabbed Billy by the waist with both hands and threw him sideways. Billy's light body drew a large parabola, hit the wall, and bounced like a rubber ball.

The Minotaur, with its horns of fury, rushes at Billy on all fours. Billy couldn't get up.

Slim shot the Minotaur in the right front leg with his gun.

The Minotaur stumbled. However, the Minotaur's horns ripped Billy's clothes. Billy's torn abs and flanks suffered skin lacerations.

Billy stood up, scooped up the blood from the scar with his thumb and licked it with his tongue.

The Minotaur got up and charged Billy again with its injured leg. Billy jumped high and rode on the Minotaur's shoulder. The Minotaur went on a rampage trying to shake off Billy. Holding its opponent's horns, Billy picked up the lasso Bonnie had just thrown from the ground and draped it around the minotaur's neck. Billy cried. "Pull the rope!"

Pat, Lou, The Mad Bomber, Bonnie, and Orpheus pull the rope like a tug of war.

The Minotaur's body was sluggishly pulled up the wall, and its weight strangled its throat. The monster struggled for a while and then stopped moving.

The Mad Bomber opened a hole in the wall with dynamite. Billy dived in there and came back. He put his hands together and said to everyone. "Xiexie". Bonnie and the others didn't know what that meant, but they put their hands together and replied, "Xiexie."

"The exit is near. Please follow me."

Billy tried to ride a motorbike. Bonnie stopped. "Wait. I'll give first aid to prevent the fungus from entering the wound."

Billy looked at Pat with a troubled face. Pat told him to do what she said, so Billy did.

"You're strong. Where did you learn boxing?" asked Bonnie.

"Huainan. Of China."

"Who taught you?"

"My father."

"Why did you come to America?"

Billy, who had answered Bonnie's questions smoothly until then, suddenly shut up. Bonnie thought he didn't want to answer, so she tried to change the subject.

But Billy replied.

"It's to see the new history."
