Chapter 66: Singlehandedly Challenge the Bandits
Chapter 66: Singlehandedly Challenge the Bandits
Xiao Jie made his choice without hesitating for too long.
Although the skill of Whirlwind Slash is pretty good, it can be considered a semi-charge skill and the damage is also acceptable, but compared with Cut in Two, it obviously does not have much advantage.
The damage of three slashes is not as good as the damage of one slash that can cut something in half. This is very embarrassing.
If you want to output damage, you should definitely give priority to using the "Sever in Two".
Although the name of the skill "Lazy Donkey Rolling" is a bit unpleasant and can only be used when the person is lying on the ground, the more displacement skills the better.
At least it can be used to dodge some additional attacks after being knocked down.
Xiao Jie decisively chose the lazy donkey rolling skill.
For another skill he chose, Black Tiger Heart Ripping, Savage Charge requires a shield to use. Xiao Jie currently uses a shield as a stopgap measure and is not planning to go the shield warfare route, so there is little point in learning this skill.
Black Tiger Heart-Ripping can be useful in certain situations to interrupt the enemy's battle or break their concentration.
Xiao Jie spent 2000 coins to learn both skills.
Seeing that there were only a few hundred coins left in the bag, Xiao Jie sighed. If the old was gone, the new would come. It didn't matter. As long as he became stronger, he could earn the money back sooner or later.
Okay, I'll go repair my weapon first, and then I'll level up when I'm ready.
After saying goodbye to Tie Qianli, he went to the blacksmith shop to find Wang Kai to repair his weapons.
"Brother, you've been training really hard. You've reached level five so quickly. Why, are you going out again soon?"
"Yeah, I feel like I've found a rhythm."
As the two were talking, a line of golden text suddenly appeared on the screen.
[World Announcement: The ancient covenant has been revealed, and the call of the old land has been issued again.
The exiled returnees from the other side of the starry sky, the long-lost homeland has opened its doors again... New returnees are about to arrive! 】
Xiao Jie immediately perked up.
"Brother Wang Kai, what does this announcement mean?"
"What else could it mean? The system has sent out an activation code. It looks like a new person will appear soon."
Wang Kai explained with an excited look on his face - it seemed that more business was coming.
Seeing that Xiao Jie was still a little confused, he explained in detail.
"Such announcements appear in the game every once in a while. Every time an announcement appears, the system will randomly send activation codes to people in real life. Usually, they are sent to experienced game players and professional masters, but sometimes they are also sent to some inexplicable people, such as students, white-collar workers, and all kinds of people.
I personally speculate that the system is likely to issue activation codes based on the number of deaths of game players."
Xiao Jieqi asked, "Oh, what's the basis for that?"
"If we keep posting like this, there should be more and more players in the game, right?
However, according to the information provided by some of my old customers, there are only about that many players in this game. Although there is no exact number, generally speaking, everyone believes that the number will not exceed 10,000, and may even be only 3,000 to 5,000.
So it is very likely that hundreds or thousands of people died in the game, and then the system sent out a wave of activation codes to make up the number of players.”
Xiao Jie thought that if this was the case, then the old players should gradually settle down. In other words, while new players continued to enter, the top player group might already be at a very high level, eventually leading to polarization among gamers.
Of course, this game is quite special, and high-level players may also fail, so the number of top players left in the end will not be too many. But there must be a group of the strongest players. If they have not died, they must be very strong now. I wonder if Liu Qiang is one of these players.
Xiao Jie looked at the small square in the center of the village, where he first came online.
Wang Kai said, "Don't look at it. It will take at least an hour for someone to come up with it, and usually there are only a few people in a novice village. Here, your knife is repaired."
Xiao Jie retracted his gaze and took the weapon. "How many novice villages are there in this game?"
"I'm not sure, but there must be dozens of them."
At this time, I Want to Become an Immortal was also online.
"Brother Feng, have you seen the world announcement?"
"I saw it, but don't worry about it. We'll practice what we need. You should hurry up and get ready. Buy medicine if you need to, and learn skills if you need to."
"Brother Feng, where are we going to level up today?"
"Let's go kill the bandits today."
This time, Xiao Jie was going to challenge a bandit alone to test his fighting ability. If he could win easily, he could consider bringing two bandits to fight at once, so that there would be more bandits to fight on the hillside.
There is no need to be so scared and run around like before just to find a lone person to attack.
"Okay, I'll get ready now."
Ten minutes later, the two met at the entrance of the village.
"Haha, I just learned a combat skill - mopping-up strike. It's absolutely amazing. This time I'm going to let those bandits know how powerful I am!"
I want to become an immortal said confidently that he was now fully equipped, and the load had become heavy anyway, so he simply didn't need to consider mobility, so he bought an iron helmet, wore a suit of iron scale armor, held a huge axe, and looked like a heavily armored warrior, which looked very deterrent.
Xiao Jie, on the other hand, has a completely different style. He wears a conical hat, leather armor, long trousers and leather boots, with a cloak fluttering in the wind behind him. He carries a goose-feather knife, looking like a swordsman in the martial arts world.
After they were fully supplied, the two men walked out of Ginkgo Village.
As the saying goes, "A skilled person is a bold one." Both of them reached level 5, accumulated a set of equipment, and their skills were enhanced. Now, facing the gloomy and desolate forest around them, they were no longer as frightened as before.
After passing through the woods and climbing over the hillside, we saw the bandits appearing in front of us from afar.
Still starting from the edge, Xiao Jie said: "I will try to pull one in a duel first, you don't go up yet, if you can fight, you can try a duel, if conditions permit, we can pull two at a time."
I wanted to become an immortal and said excitedly, "Okay, I'll help you raid the battlefield!"
Xiao Jie shot an arrow, and the bandit was hit by the arrow and immediately rushed over.
"Meatball, stay aside and watch my performance."
Xiao Jie said this and switched to a single sword, rushing forward.
Seeing the bandit wielding a large knife to chop at his head, Xiao Jie seized the opportunity and used it directly -
Blade back!
The blade counter failed... Xiao Jie's attack was a few tenths of a second too early, and he missed and was slashed by the opponent instead.
-
21!
Fortunately, although this set of equipment is a mix of leather and cloth, it still has some defensive power, and the damage of this knife is acceptable.
Xiao Jie did not panic. This situation was within his expectations. The skill of Blade Counter could not be mastered without dozens or hundreds of times of training.
A kite flipped over to create some distance.
One knife - cut in two!
When the bandit rushed up, the charging of the fighting skill was just completed, and he slashed the bandit in the chest with a knife.
-
54!
The bandit didn't care about the pain and swung his knife to chop, but Xiao Jie immediately rolled over and rolled two or three meters away.
The 18 points of agility and the light weight status made his movements extremely light.
After standing up, immediately recharge your energy again.
One knife - cut in two!
It was a completely repetitive routine. Xiao Jie relied on the extremely fast speed of his combat skills to deal a high burst of damage every time the bandits rushed up, and then quickly rolled to the side.
After two rounds, the bandit's health was almost gone.
The bandit roared and turned and ran away.
Xiao Jie sneered in his heart, the same trick again?
He chased after him without hesitation. The bandit ran a few steps, then suddenly leaned forward and pressed his knife, making a power-gathering movement. A layer of scarlet halo appeared on his muscles in an instant.
Xiao Jie did not run away, but approached the other party directly.
Spin——
Black Tiger takes out his heart!
The moment the bandit swung his knife, Xiao Jie punched him in the chest.
With a muffled groan, the spinning slash was broken and the person was stunned.
This was actually a bit risky, but Xiao Jie had already fully mastered the rhythm of the battle.
Chop left, chop right! After two slashes, the bandit's health was only a little bit left. The bandit roared and slashed again, but Xiao Jie did not roll over. He moved sideways like strolling in the garden, avoiding the bandit's dying blow in despair. He took advantage of the situation and made a horizontal cut. The blade swept across the bandit's neck, and a blood mist flew out.
The bandit staggered forward two steps, and his headless body fell to the ground behind Xiao Jie.
