Everything happened too suddenly, and even the experienced hunters were taken aback; Brin collided with them solidly. The dagger that was originally aimed at the heart missed slightly, stabbing just below the left lung and getting stuck between the rib plate and the White Folks' solid muscles.
A tall and sturdy man's force upon impact is incredibly powerful. How could the dagger-wielder, who was only about 1.45 meters tall, withstand it? He was left gasping for air, almost fainting, and his grip on the knife slackened.
But Brin couldn't truly resolve an enemy with just one collision.
As the herb collector attempted to clamp his hands around the Native's neck to strangle him to death, the skilled hunter decisively raised his knee and struck Brin's lower body. He then quickly knelt down to escape Brin's grip while the latter winced from the pain.
At this moment, the other two Native Hunters had already caught up.
