Looking back now, the strength of the second-order mantis is at least several thousand kilograms.
The power gap is too huge.
I was able to defeat it, and luck accounted for a large part of it.
Of course, apart from luck, there is also the will that you have gathered.
There is also the credit for the Tang Heng Dao of light green quality.
Otherwise, the defense of the second-level mantis cannot be broken, and even if the strength is doubled, it may not be able to counterattack.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng turned over his hand, took out the Tang Hengdao, unsheathed it, recalled the feeling at the beginning, and tried to gather his will again.
However, I don't know whether it was due to lack of concentration or some other reason, but I couldn't gather my will.
"Brother-in-law..." Yaya next to her wanted to crawl into Jiang Cheng's arms.
Tong Xiaorou hurriedly pulled her over: "Don't disturb your brother-in-law, he is thinking about something."
"Oh." Yaya had no choice but to play with herself.
Jiang Cheng smiled at the two women, then stood up and came to the rear of the carriage.
He first looked through the ten-centimeter-wide bulletproof glass window on the rear door of the carriage at the looming Longxi Camp behind him, and then practiced his sword again.
Although the interior of the carriage is not too cramped, it is obviously not enough for him to deal with.
So he didn't practice sharp swordsmanship, but slowly swung the sword to find the feeling.
He still remembers the knife that defeated the second-order mantis. At that moment, he let go of everything and adopted a completely risk-taking approach. At the same time, he hypnotized himself in his heart, believing that he would definitely be able to split the second-order mantis's head with one knife.
"Do you still need to continue hypnosis?"
Jiang Cheng tried to hypnotize himself again, but with little effect.
I always feel like something is missing.
"Is it because of my desperate determination? It shouldn't be...maybe it's because my current level is not enough, and I can only release that kind of brilliance of will in critical moments?"
He didn't believe in evil and slowly swung the knife again and again.
As he waved, a desire for destruction suddenly arose in his heart, and he wanted to find something to chop with.
Suddenly he felt blessed, his eyes lit up, and he finally knew what was wrong.
What's bad is the target.
A target that you believe you can split.
Maybe the correct way to perform it is not necessarily like this, but now I have just started, and I still need a goal to increase my belief and condense my will.
Will is something that even though it is talked about every day, it is invisible and intangible. It is mysterious and mysterious.
As time passed, the sun rose to its highest point and then began to set.
Jiang Cheng asked Liang Xin to find a hilly place to stop.
"We'll spend the night here today and continue our journey tomorrow."
Although after having a car, we can continue traveling at night, but there are dark tides and monsters at night, so it is better to be more stable.
"You guys eat in the car and I'll go out."
Jiang Cheng took out the food and water and said to the three women: "Don't worry, I won't go far, I will practice my sword nearby."
After saying that, he couldn't wait to get out of the car.
After closing the car door, he took out the insect meat to satisfy his hunger while climbing up the hill.
It was already dark now, and no one could be seen here. Only three or two sparse shrubs in the distance stood alone among the dead grass.
Today, because Liang Xin was not familiar with vehicles, they only advanced twenty or thirty kilometers.
Stopping next to a rock protruding from the ground, Jiang Cheng raised the Tang Hengdao, recalling the feeling before, and slashed at it with the knife.
"puff!"
The rock was easily cut in two.
However, Jiang Cheng frowned slightly because he failed to gather his will this time.
He thought for a moment and swung the knife gently again, but instead of slashing in a hurry, he slashed in the air again and again.
Gradually, that desire for destruction reappeared.
With a thought, he struck down with his knife.
With a flash of the sword, the rocks on the ground seemed to have never been destroyed.
But Jiang Cheng felt that his will was drained.
This feeling is very special, as if part of the courage or belief has been taken away.
Sure enough, it wasn't until two seconds later that the rock suddenly broke apart with a 'click'.
"It's done!"
Jiang Cheng felt happy and continued to search for the feeling. He used the earth and rocks of this hill as his target and slashed with his sword again and again.
Each time, he waited until the desire for destruction arose in his heart before he drew the sword.
again and again.
Finally, when it got completely dark, he was able to focus his will on the blade the moment he swung the sword.
This radiance of will was like the light of a sword, greatly increasing the sharpness of Tang Heng's sword.
However, Jiang Cheng discovered that when a huge amount of willpower is consumed, the sequelae are very serious.
For example, right now, the darkness around him gave him a creepy feeling.
Even the slightest disturbance made him feel frightened, as if his courage suddenly became smaller.
If he hadn't had a good character, he would probably have been tempted to escape back into the carriage at this moment, feeling a little frightened.
This made him realize that will is not spiritual power or soul power. Perhaps the stronger the soul power, the stronger the will, but the soul power itself does not belong to the will itself.
In his view, will should be a manifestation of courage, a spiritual power that seeks good fortune and avoids misfortune, and is also a condensation of faith.
When this power is exhausted, people's courage will also be weakened, and they will become less courageous and easily frightened.
In this state, even he couldn't help but have random thoughts, worrying about a man-eating monster running out of the grass, worrying about evolved creatures lurking nearby, etc.
In short, with his will exhausted, he could only feel that there were monsters hiding in the darkness around him, which frightened him so much that his scalp was about to explode.
On the hills.
Jiang Chengju stood on his sword, staring at the surroundings with his eyes fixed on his surroundings. While vigilant, he tried hard to fight against this frightening feeling.
He knew that this state was abnormal and was the sequelae of exhaustion of willpower. If he really followed this instinct, I am afraid that the newly condensed will would soon dissipate.
"Will is courage, spiritual power, and the power of belief..."
Only with courage, a strong mind, and a firm belief can you gather your will.
for a long time--
About an hour or two later, when the dark tide was about to appear, the frightening feeling finally faded away.
"call!"
Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling really uncomfortable after his will was exhausted.
"Jiang Cheng, the Yin Tide is coming, come up quickly." Tong Xiaorou called from inside the carriage.
"Okay, here we go."
Jiang Cheng didn't try to be brave. Although there was a bonfire to ward off evil spirits, there was not much wood now, so he had to save it, and it was better to do less than to do more.
He took a look at the bushes in the distance and decided to collect them tomorrow.
As soon as we returned to the carriage, the clingy little girl pounced on us.
Tong Xiaorou, who was a step slower, stood aside angrily.
Because Liang Xin was also in the carriage tonight, and the single bed was too narrow, Tong Xiaorou could only sleep alone.
Jiang Chengze hugged Yaya and slept together. The little girl was petite and couldn't take up much space.
The carriage is completely enclosed, but it has air conditioning, so it's not a big problem.
Sleeping in the carriage, which was also a thick iron carriage, the three women, including Liang Xin, felt inexplicably at ease.
This situation of sleeping in the wilderness, you can sleep in the carriage, which is much better than before. You don't have to worry about dangers from all directions.
