The sun was getting brighter, the breeze was blowing, and the wild grass was undulating and swaying in an orderly manner with the rhythm of nature, forming beautiful waves of grass in everyone's field of vision. If it hadn't been for the battle they had just experienced, the people present might not have seen it. This resort surrounded by green mountains and green grass is regarded as a cruel and bloody battlefield. However, Duan Qing, who was standing with Qingtian and looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, was thinking about other things - recalling the battle that took place in the alley when he first entered Tania City a few days ago. Recalling everything he had experienced when he first entered the game, he felt inexplicably sad.
Because during that alley escape, the almost two instantaneous cross-cuts performed were not all due to the weapon in his hand.
Duan Qing was really excited when he first got it because of the effects that came with the Eviscerate, but it didn't take long for him to calm down - the special effects from the uniquely shaped broadsword, he was in the first place. It has been tested over time, and the result is: the "slightly increased skill casting speed" described on the weapon is really only slightly.
The attack speed it increases only makes your slashes faster by half a second after it is fully stacked. It is not as powerful as imagined. But this was also within Duan Qing's expectation, otherwise the evaluation of this weapon would not have been epic, but would have been of higher quality.
The key to allowing Duan Qing to unleash an almost instantaneous slashing attack lies in the pair of gloves on his hand - Kester's control. This pair of supermodel gloves, which he got when he was born in Novice Village and was handed over to Little Benny by the great magician as an adventure reward, has always played an unimaginable role in helping Duan Qing quickly connect his attacks in past battles. And when these two special effects are repeated within the range of slashing and normal attacks, and are used with some professional techniques under his control, his slashing speed will speed up again, and finally reach a level similar to " Cross cut" effect.
"Regardless of the price, this is almost free of charge! Laura suffered a big loss this time..."
Recalling the reluctant look on the girl's face when she put the weapon into his hand, Duan Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly again: "What's wrong with you? You have to be a mysterious businessman. You can't continue like this." It would be weird to lose money..."
It seemed that he had forgotten the embarrassment of losing all his family wealth at that time, and recalled the smiles of the two great magicians on the top of Falling Star Mountain before they saw them off. Duan Qing touched a ring on the finger of his left hand and shook his head to dismiss it. He removed the memories in his mind and returned his attention to reality. Qingtian on the side looked at Qicai Lingguang who had finished cleaning up and stood up. He tilted his head and whispered to him: "It seems that the captain is going to give that pair of daggers to the new savage. They must be some good things... "
"Just give it to him, he is more suitable for a dagger."
"...Since Brother Mo doesn't care, it's easy to say." Qingtian laughed: "When we return to the fortress, we will divide the rewards equally according to the rules."
"The battle will definitely be more intense in the future, so we have to rely on Brother Mo's sharp knife."
"It's easy to say, but actually everyone is better than me." Duan Qing replied humbly: "It still depends on everyone's joint efforts..."
"Hehehehe..."
In the awkward push and pull, the two people came to his side under the greeting of colorful spiritual light. As usual, what greeted Duan Qing was a scolding from the captain: "Brother Mo, I'm not talking about you, although you played well before. , but it’s better not to pull the train into our crowd, okay? If something happens and the hatred is messed up, our team will have to go home..."
"Ah hahaha, I was so immersed in playing just now that I forgot..."
"The battles that follow are basically head-to-head encounters, and there is no time to rest... Everyone, keep your spirits up, and the next step is to officially begin! Pay attention when fighting for a while, don't attract any monsters randomly, maybe it's Those who want to destroy the group..."
In the chattering voice, several people made brief preparations and then crossed the line of defense and continued to set off. As Colorful Lingguang said, the following situation was an unavoidable forced battle - when they appeared in front of the first wave of enemies, the opponent first shouted at the top of their lungs: "An enemy has appeared! Get ready to fight. !”
"Why are these people so honest? Can you wait until we approach quietly before shouting..."
"Look at their attire, they are no longer scouts."
The enemies in front of him were finally not imperial spies hiding in the grass, but imperial soldiers with real swords and guns. The four of them formed a team, forming a standard battle formation with shields and swords, waiting for the arrival of Duan Qing's team of adventurers. While Qicai Lingguang wasted no time in introducing their characteristics, the two shield bearers in front seemed a little impatient of the enemy's retreat, banging their big shields and shouting: "Empire Squad, charge!"
"...So don't be too stubborn. If you encounter someone tougher than you, just retreat and let me deal with it...They are coming! Everyone, pay attention-"
"Start the fight!"
With the two shield bearers as the front, the two groups collided together on the grassland. It was only at this moment that Qicai Lingguang showed his true ability - he took out a small buckler hidden somewhere and held it in his left hand.
"Drink!"
Boom!
The jaw-dropping sound of the iron shield clashing instantly reached everyone's ears. The round shield used an almost unimaginable power to knock away the large shield in the hands of the opposite imperial soldier. A ferocious smile appeared on his face, and the broad dagger in the right hand of Colorful Spirit struck the opponent's face in the next moment.
"go to hell!"
Screams mixed with blood lines flew into the air at the same time in the center of the battlefield. The Imperial shield hand opened his arms wide and fell backwards with this heavy slash. However, Qicai Lingguang, who had just accomplished his feat, did not hesitate. He turned around and stopped another shield hand who was about to cross his side. Another soldier who witnessed his companion's encounter hurriedly held the back of his shield with both hands at the same time. .
Boom!
With another deafening metal collision, Duan Qing and Konoha Tornado both bypassed the two of them and threw themselves into the arms of the other two Imperial soldiers behind the battle formation. This time, the enemies they faced were ordinary imperial infantry. In a one-on-one situation, the difficulty of the battle became extremely simple.
"Captain, that's awesome." After knocking down the enemy in front of him, Duan Qing turned around and praised: "You defeated a shield soldier in one go..."
"Skill restraint, coupled with fatal attacks, will of course have such an effect." Wiping the blood on his face, Qicai Lingguang replied with some ease: "And... everyone has seen the situation, as long as the opponent can break the opponent's With the formation, the rest of the things will be easy to handle. If you can’t defeat those soldiers in a single fight, just hold on and we’ll support you..."
In a simple summary, there was a commotion in the rear of the grassland. Colorful Spiritual Light casually checked the body, and then took the lead and rushed to the front of the team: "Okay, the troops behind have been alerted. I believe that soon, the opponent's Reinforcements will arrive."
"The most difficult part of this copy of Line F is right here. 60% of the teams that have been here before were destroyed here." As the team ran quickly, he introduced without looking back: "We have summarized two methods, which should be feasible for us."
"Next, while conquering the same waves of minions, we will face a steady stream of imperial troops. Their level and strength are very high, and they all appear in small groups. Our battle... will last for a long time. for a period of time. One way is to find a place where you will not be attacked from both sides - usually you find a large rock and slowly wear away all the rescue soldiers."
"Will this method work?" The young man in black running on the left asked with a frown, "How long will it take?"
"Of course it can be done, we have a mage." Pointing to Qianzhihe who showed a confident smile and patted his chest behind him, Colorful Emmanuel replied: "Although there is only one, if the positioning is right and the output is enough, we can do it in a wave. It was solved in one wave.”
"And doing this... is a relatively stable strategy for the final BOSS battle." Qingtian added: "The system is fair. If you pay more now, you will pay less later."
"What's another way?" Duan Qing asked.
"The other method... was discovered by the guys from the Void Adventure Group." Colorful Lingguang spat in a low voice: "Those guys... just like to play without following the routine."
He took a breath, and then continued: "Once, they rushed to the enemy's rear despite the attacks of those soldiers."
"According to the intelligence, the Second King...oh, that is, in front of the second BOSS, on the side near Falon Hill, there is a rocky area. As long as we are fast enough, we can hide in that area. , and then...get rid of the pursuit of these reinforcements."
When Qingtian's voice of explanation sounded, in the distance of the grassland, figures belonging to the imperial soldiers began to appear vaguely. Qicai Lingguang smiled bitterly, and then immediately asked: "Time is running out, which one should we choose?"
"Although it is a pity to have these experiences, but..." Duan Qing said in a low voice: "The second one is more reliable, right? Try to reduce battles as much as possible, that is, try to reduce risks as much as possible..."
"Those people just said that, we have never tried this method." Qingtian reminded again: "What if those people are just talking nonsense, there is no stone formation at all, or the hatred cannot be shaken off, it will be a tragedy for us. ”
"I also agree. The first method is more stable." Qicai Lingguang also nodded and said: "I generally won't use a play without guarantee. This is not a play that is responsible for the team..."
"Our personnel are relatively mobile."
Konoha Tornado, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said this sentence without hesitation: "In comparison... rushing and maneuvering are more suitable for our current team."
Silence appeared for a moment while running, and then Qingtian's voice sounded: "Then it's two against two... Xiaoqian, what do you say?"
"Ah?" The red-haired girl behind was stunned for a moment: "Let me choose?"
"Yes, the decision is yours."
"Uh, well..."
The flying red hair was trailing behind the girl, and hesitating sounds could be heard from the approaching enemy. Sighing in his heart, Duan Qing began to shake his head in preparation for the upcoming battle. While observing the enemy's configuration, he also began to look for the best fighting position that could be used as cover. Judging from the previous situation, the girl named Qian Zhihe obviously likes her profession, so it is obvious what kind of choice she can make... Duan Qing turned around with these thoughts in his mind , looked back involuntarily, and found that the red-haired girl was also looking at him quietly.
"I, I choose..." She withdrew her gaze with some evasion, and finally made her choice: "The second one..."
"……All right."
An obvious pause came from the front of the team. Colorful Emmanuel retracted his buckler, turned to holding the sword with both hands, and began to move to the left: "Then let's... take a risk."
"Get ready! Everyone move to the right! Listen to my prompts!"
As the marching direction of the team changed, the front of the rushing imperial troops also began to turn in an arc: "Three! Two! One!"
"accelerate!"
When the last sentence sounded, Qicai Lingguang gave a loud shout and jumped to the front of the battle lines that were about to collide. Then he held the sword in both hands, stepped out alternately, and turned his body in a 360-degree circle in the air: " whirlwind--"
"cut!"
Amidst the clanging sound of metal, the imperial soldiers at the front raised their weapons one after another, alternately blocking this seemingly powerful attack and temporarily slowing down their pace. However, the whistling wind mixed with the dagger did not stop there. The golden sword shadow flew over the grass again. While the green weeds that were chopped up were gradually sliced away, the footsteps of the colorful aura also stepped forward again, and the body rotated. He had no intention of stopping: "Beat again!"
"It's still Whirlwind!"
The dagger turned into a never-ending storm, blowing vigorously on the right side of the battlefield. On the other side of the storm formed by the sword blade, other members of the adventure team rushed to their feet and ran from The colorful spiritual light rushed past. At a certain moment, one of the charging figures stopped, and then when the colorful aura finally ran out of strength, it came to him.
"How is this a whirlwind?" Duan Qing raised the giant blade in his hand and laughed: "This is clearly a blade storm, okay?"
"Huh...huh...didn't I let you leave first? What are you doing when you come back..."
Before the panting Qicai Lingguang received an answer, Duan Qing pushed him back and blocked the next attack for him: "Of course I'm here to cover."
"you……"
"Don't worry, just leave first, I'll be back soon."
The broad blade was suddenly raised, parrying the attacks of the two swords at the same time. Duan Qing pulled up and lifted the weapons of the two imperial soldiers away, then squatted down and made a sweeping slash, forcing the two men back at the same time. . With a focused light in his eyes, he raised the broad handle of the knife to his head, assumed a weird posture, then took a short bow and exhaled heavily.
"Whirlwind!"
A shuddering roar sounded in the air again, and the huge blade, which was nearly half the height of a man, scraped past everyone with an unstoppable momentum and an even greater range.
【Ding--】
"Do not worry."
Looking at the imperial soldiers who temporarily retreated once again, Duan Qing said without looking back: "Walking monsters and driving trains is what I am best at, besides..."
"The team in front still needs you to command."
