Chapter 90: Wandering Makou
Chapter 90: Wandering Makou
"Fuck, this thing runs really fast!"
In the forest, Xiao Jie and I, Yu Chengxian, were running one after the other, chasing the little demon who was picking up the relics. However, we were still getting farther and farther away from him.
Especially since I want to become an immortal, I only have 10 points of agility. Even if I take off my armor and giant axe, I am still far from keeping up with the speed.
Even Xiao Jie was falling further and further behind.
Xiao Jie felt uneasy. If it continued like this, it would get away. So he simply shot an arrow. However, the distance was too far and the little demon scavenger dodged the arrow easily with a nimble movement. It even had time to turn around and make a face.
"Release the dogs! Meatball, get me!"
"Yes, use the Thunderbolt! Get it for me!"
The two hounds rushed out immediately. Meatball ran only a little faster than Xiao Jie, but Xunlei was like an arrow shot from a bow and rushed out in a flash.
This hunting dog is newly bought by me for my immortality. Its fighting power is much weaker than Broken Tooth, but it also has its advantages. It has a built-in LV3 sprint.
This time it finally came in handy.
Seeing Xunlei roaring and chasing after him, the little demon Shiyi was frightened. He didn't dare to conserve his strength anymore and started to speed up.
The demon and the dog disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Jie felt a little uneasy. They had already run too far, far beyond the maps they had explored in the past. There was no telling what monsters lay ahead. This feeling of being out of control was not very good, but the arrow was on the string and he could not afford to hesitate.
I can only run as fast as I can and try to catch up.
It’s not a big deal, Xiao Jie comforted himself.
Most of the monsters encountered in this game so far are not faster than the players. The only troublesome ones are wild dogs and ghouls, but with the current strength of the two, even if they encounter a pack of dogs, it will not be a big problem.
If they encounter a strong enemy with a dog to attract hatred, the two of them will have enough time and distance to choose whether to fight or escape.
Besides, this game is full of variables. If you are really afraid of this and that, you might as well learn from Wang Kai and stay in the village.
As they ran, they suddenly rushed out of the forest. The view in front of them suddenly opened up. In a large open wilderness, a road went straight north, all the way to the valley pass in the distance.
In this wilderness, you can vaguely see some figures on horseback, patrolling back and forth.
Not far from the woods, a knight was patrolling slowly.
Wandering Mako, level 10, 420 health points.
"Brother Feng, it's a bandit!" I screamed immediately.
Xiao Jie's eyes tightened too. This thing was mentioned in his brother's strategy book in I Want to Become an Immortal -
Wandering Horse Bandits: An enhanced version of the bandits, usually appearing on horseback, with very high mobility, and therefore extremely dangerous. Once discovered, it will be difficult to escape, so don't provoke them in the early stages. If you encounter them, hide quickly. It's best not to be discovered...
At this moment, the little demon who was picking up leftovers was leading the thunder and rushing straight towards the horse bandit.
"Call the dog back."
"I can't call you back!"
The pets in this game do not have such a precise control mechanism. Players can only give instructions, and how they are completed depends entirely on the pet’s own AI.
At this moment the distance was too far and Xun Lei could not hear any orders at all. He only remembered the last command issued and chased after him closely.
I watched as the little demon rushed under the horse's belly without attracting the Ma Kou's attention at all. However, when he rushed over like lightning, he was greeted by the Ma Kou's broadsword.
The swords swung, the horses trampled, and with a thunderous wail, they died in the northwest.
When Meatball saw his neck shrink, he quickly stopped charging and hid behind Xiao Jie.
Xiao Jie and I also stopped. I felt so sad that I couldn't even cry. I just bought the dog and had only had it for less than two days.
However, before he could feel sad, the Makou had already rushed towards the two of them.
When a pet triggers a battle, the owner will also enter the battle.
"You came just in time, I'm going to chop you up to avenge my dog."
I want to become an immortal as he quickly put on armor and axe, ready to fight head-on. He was very confident in his current strength. Even if he was not level 10, it would be only two levels higher than zombies. He was not a BOSS. Let me show you how I can deal with you.
Xiao Jie also drew his sword and gathered his strength, standing side by side with me, Yu Chengxian, ready to engage in battle. It was just a level ten monster, not a boss. If it was a 2 vs 1 fight, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Seeing that Ma Kou was about to rush up to the two of them, he suddenly kicked his warhorse, and the horse instantly accelerated and rushed to the right side of me, and swung the thick-backed saber in his hand towards my lower body.
"Oh no, hide quickly!" Xiao Jie shouted, but it was too late.
I was about to make a move when I was slashed by a knife. With a "whoosh", -48!
With one strike, a quarter of Yu Chengxian’s health was taken away.
Ever since I put on this set of iron armor, my defense has been amazing. Even Ximen Wuhen has never inflicted such high damage.
"Holy crap, such high damage." Xiao Jie was decisive, "The opponent has a speed bonus, let's retreat! Let's fight in the woods."
Xiao Jie felt something was wrong the moment Ma Kou suddenly accelerated.
The logic of cavalry combat and foot combat is completely different. Foot combat is close-range fighting, while cavalry combat is repeated charges, and each charge only has one chance to attack. That's why there is a saying that a duel between generals lasts for ×× rounds, and one round is actually a charge between the two sides.
War horses are extremely fast when charging, so even if you don't swing your weapon, the horse's speed alone can make the weapon produce huge damage. If the man and the horse become one, and attack while the horse accelerates, the damage will be extremely huge.
Therefore, in some horse-riding combat games, there is often a concept of speed damage bonus. The faster the speed, the higher the damage bonus.
The most typical one is the lance charge. Riding a horse, holding a lance, and sprinting at full speed, you can kill all enemies in one blow.
As the saying goes, all beings are equal under the lance, and Xiao Jie, who has played Mount & Blade, feels this particularly deeply.
Although the Mount and Blade is not as powerful as the Lance, it can still deal two or three times the damage.
It seems that this game also has the concept of speed power bonus, otherwise this knife would not have such high damage.
Cavalry has the advantage of speed and can attack whenever the enemy wants, and the infantry has no way to stop them.
The best way to win is to retreat into the woods. As long as he can't run, there's nothing to be afraid of.
However, the Ma Kou seemed to have seen through the two men's purpose. He suddenly made a circle and blocked the two men from the woods.
Then he turned his horse's head and rushed forward again.
"Take off your armor and prepare to roll!"
It is absolutely irrational to confront cavalry head-on, but although horses are fast, they also have their weaknesses, which is the difficulty in turning.
Just roll to avoid frontal attacks, and then use your bow and arrows when he turns around.
I was obedient in my attempt to become an immortal. I took off my armor in an instant, and when my horse came close to me, I rolled over violently, and the sword hit nothing.
Xiao Jie took the opportunity to shoot two arrows in a row. Since the target was large, it was easy to hit it.
-
11!
-
12!
Before he could shoot the third arrow, Ma Kou turned around and rushed towards him again.
roll!
Xiao Jie's rolling was even more freehand, causing Ma Kou's attack to be completely cut into the air. On the other side, Wo Yu Cheng Xian also switched to a bow and arrow and started to attack.
The two men shot randomly, and after a few rounds, Ma Kou's health dropped by one third.
"That's it. Let's kill it with a kite."
The horse bandit was hit by several arrows in a row. He suddenly roared and charged straight towards him on his horse.
Xiao Jie used the same trick again and rolled over suddenly, but Ma Kou pulled the reins and actually stopped the warhorse. He stood backward, raised his front legs and stomped hard on the ground.
War tramples!
Damn, Xiao Jie was so scared that he quickly caught a rolling gourd, and rolled twice and finally managed to avoid the horse's hooves.
Just wanted to use a rolling knife to deal some damage.
Bang! The moment the horse's hoof landed on the ground, a shock wave directly blew him away.
This War Stomp actually has a small-range splash effect.
Although he was a little embarrassed, Xiao Jie was relieved. The splash damage from the trampling was not very powerful, just a few points of damage. As long as he was not directly stepped on by the horse's hooves, there would be no problem.
Moreover, once the opponent stopped, he lost the speed advantage he had during the charge and immediately became a target for the two men.
After Xiao Jie stood up, he started fighting directly at the horse's face, cutting it in half with one blow.
-
56!
Ma Kou immediately turned his horse and slashed back, -18!
There is a damage penalty when attacking on horseback. In this kind of close combat, without the speed advantage, the horse bandits cannot gain any advantage at all, and their damage is even lower than that of the mountain bandits.
Over there, I shot two more arrows, and in the blink of an eye, Ma Kou's health was reduced to more than half.
Xiao Jie was just about to press on with the victory and continue his attack, but the bandit suddenly roared, kicked his horse hard, and fled into the distance.
"Damn it, don't run!" I couldn't help but curse. I finally managed to kill him, but he ran away. I haven't avenged that dog yet.
"Come back, grandson, and continue to do it if you have the ability."
But the Ma Kou actually stopped, took out a horn from his arms and blew it hard - Woo woo woo!
With a melodious horn sound, two wandering bandits came galloping from the distant wilderness, three horses running side by side, one holding a spear, two waving sabers, and with a shout, they rushed towards the two men together.
Xiao Jie yelled in horror: "Fuck, run quickly, into the woods!"
