"Okay my brothers, God has not left us much time."
In the early morning of February 26, 796 in the New Calendar of the Free World, the first warrior of the Nasu tribe named Surtu once again stood in front of a crowd of tribesmen with his attire-like battle uniform, already standing side by side. Several tribal warriors in front of him also showed off their strong bodies as the strong wind passed by, with confident and proud expressions on their faces: "But you! You are all selected by the tribe. The best warrior! The one who can best show the glory and pride of our Nasu clan!"
"No matter the strong wind blowing across the grassland or the enemies like wolves and tigers, they can't knock you down!" He put his hands behind his back and shouted loudly in front of this group of tribal warriors standing side by side: "Use all your strength Show them all! Don’t let the tribes down!”
"Let me ask, can this level of morale boosting be effective?" Looking at the thundering shouts of the tribal warriors standing side by side and the surrounding onlookers, the Snow Spirit Huanbing on the side quietly let out his low voice. Question: “I always feel like it’s useless.”
"Of course it has no effect on improving strength and strength." Duan Qing shook his head. His body was covered with bandages and his right arm was still hanging on his chest. He replied in a weak voice: "The state before the competition. Adjustment and psychological construction are very important, because contestants often can only show 60 to 70% of their strength under various pressures. To improve morale and enhance their confidence, you can try to make these participants participate in the battle. The warriors exerted all their strength.”
"Of course, only those who can physically exert their full strength can have such an effect." After saying this, he couldn't help but let out a bitter smile: "For a useless person like me, no matter how much mental construction is done, it will be of no use. .”
"Seriously injured, just give me a good rest. Why are you running here?" Asahi Dongsheng on the side also responded with a look of disdain: "If it weren't for the uneven grass, I would have given you a car. It's not against the rules at all. wheelchair."
"I just don't want you to say that." Duan Qing glared at Chao Ri Dongsheng's broken sleeves floating in the wind with an expressionless face, and turned his head again: "And the reason why I came here must be very important to everyone. clear."
"I heard that among the chosen ones, it seems that we are not the only adventurers."
Following his line of sight, the members of the Qingling Adventure Group also focused their attention on the end of the team ahead who was still being lectured by Surtu. There was a man who looked shorter than the tribal warriors. A figure with obviously different weapons and clothing also appeared at the end of that direction in the distance, and his calm face seemed incompatible with the tribal warriors beside him who were waving their arms high-spiritedly and shouting: "... Hey, a bunch of fools."
"I heard that you are also one of the selectors who passed the selection trial and was recognized by the instructors, right?"
His indifferent and disdainful attitude successfully attracted Surtu's attention, and his slowly approaching eyes also brought a sense of surprise: "Is he also the person Batur mentioned yesterday? "
"One Hundred Steps Unparalleled."
Without any too many words, the figure then announced his name. The huge long bow straddling his back also swung back and forth for a while as he arranged the movements, successfully attracting several people around him. Everyone's eyes were attracted: "Are you an archer?"
"..."
"According to Batur, you seemed to have performed very well in the trial."
Not getting any answer he wanted from the other party's silence, Surtu stepped forward and his gaze on the player gradually became sharper: "But looking at you now, it doesn't look like you can defeat so many players. Where’s the challenger guy?”
"..."
"Have you found out where this guy came from?"
He only got a pair of eyes looking directly at him from the face of the other party with his mouth tightly closed. Surtu, who pointed at the other party, turned around and asked behind him: "Is he a suspicious person?"
"We haven't found his origin. He should be the same as those adventurers. He is someone who has recently arrived near the tribe." He approached cautiously, and one of the two tribe soldiers waiting not far behind Surtu The voice answered quietly: "As you can see now, Surtu, he hardly answers any of our questions, so-"
"What a bunch of stupid guys." After a long sigh, Surtu turned to the tribal warriors behind him and reprimanded in a low voice: "If you can't ask, won't you check it out yourself? The surrounding situation is different from that. The people coming and going among the ten tribes—these are all places you can search.”
"This, this..."
"Okay, okay, I don't want to blame you." He waved his hand to stop the other party's words. Surtu turned around again and looked at the position of the archer player: "The situation has changed a lot in the past two days, and you can't react. It’s normal to come, but fortunately, the Nashi people didn’t use any tricks or methods in the end, and everything is still going according to our expectations.”
"As long as there are no more accidents before the last ceremony."
As he said these words, his body came back to the row of warriors. His blade-like eyes then passed across the faces of these solemn and majestic tribal warriors, and finally fell on the man who claimed to be Bai Bu. On the Wushuang player: "Okay! I've almost said what I need to say! The next thing is the focus of gathering you here today!"
"I want to test your strength personally!" The corners of his mouth curled up, and his raised arms made crisp sounds as the fists collided: "Don't forget that there are instructors behind you. Watching with eager eyes! Let me confirm for the last time whether you are qualified to join the sacred battle!"
The upright and motionless figure finally began to feel a little shaken, and a few drops of less obvious cold sweat began to streak across the faces of these tribal warriors. Surtu, who was watching them, also let go. His arms and gorgeous tribal robes were also flying in the wind in the field of vision including Duan Qing and others: "Start now - who will be the first?"
"Don't be afraid, I will be merciful." He looked at the motionless warriors in front of him, and his unruffled gaze began to become colder: "Why, where did the energy of shouting just now go? Really? Isn’t it true that the courage and glory you just talked about are just this level?"
"you!"
His tone finally became impatient, and he then pointed to the side: "Let's start with you!"
"...I didn't shout those useless slogans just now." The archer player standing at the end of the team finally said calmly: "I can't understand, what are you using?" According to such criteria, I was selected as the first opponent.”
"What, do you have any objections?" Already walking in front of the other party, Surtu's body, which was much stronger than the other party, finally looked down: "I am the first warrior of the tribe, and I am also the leader of this expedition." Leader of the Barish' ceremony, as long as you still want to participate in that ceremony and bring glory to the tribe, you must obey my orders."
"If you have any questions about this, I can give you a suggestion." His tone seemed to be speaking to everyone around him, but his eyes were fixed on the expressionless face of the archer player in front of him. Face: "That's——"
"Let your fists do the talking."
He made a gesture with his fist in front of Baibu Wushuang's eyes, and then stared at the opponent's face carefully. The still emotionless reaction and motionless figure also made this tribe's first warrior dressed in gorgeous clothes. He frowned again, and the movement he originally wanted to continue to provoke stopped in mid-air: "Okay, maybe my wording is a little off."
"Archers often don't let their fists do the talking."
He took two steps back, and his body moving against the wind also distanced himself from Baibu Wushuang in full view of everyone: "If you think there is something wrong with what I just said, then I will give you another chance."
"Pick up your bow and arrow." He put his hands behind his back and faced Baibu Wushuang again, his eyes becoming sharper: "Let me see what you are capable of."
"...I suspect that you are seeking revenge." He said this reply calmly, and Baibu Wushuang's indifferent posture finally relaxed: "Although you may not understand what this word means, but since Are you really planning to—"
"Then as you wish."
The strong wind blowing through the grassland suddenly became stronger at this moment. At the same time, it also suddenly broke the silent atmosphere standing on the edge of the Sioux settlement. The archer who was originally motionless suddenly removed it in some unknown way. The movement of the long bow then flashed into a phantom straight line in front of everyone, and the feather arrows carried behind him were tightly attached to the fully-stretched bowstring in the second second. The extremely fast speed was later covered by the sound of the squeaking bowstring, making the countless pairs of eyes that were originally staring at this place even more unable to keep up with the archer's reaction speed. A trace of emerald green light. However, as the gesture of pulling the bowstring back and forth appeared with both hands, it gradually surrounded the straight feather arrow that was ready to go: "Enchanted arrow!"
"Quick shot!"
Buzz!
Different from the sound that normal arrows should make, a buzzing sound that was so low that it made people feel stuffy in their chests suddenly erupted into the distance following the appearance of Baibu Wushuang's low shout. The arrows with emerald green light Then, at the moment of taking action, it turned into a straight starlight and disappeared at the end of the same emerald green grassland. His body deviated from the path of this straight starlight for a moment, and Surtu, who was standing with his back turned, also appeared on the side of the attack trajectory, and the completely unclear footsteps seemed to pull everything at the same time. Like a person's heart, he quickly approached the direction where the green arrow had just left: "Not bad archery! But -"
"Barb shot!"
Without giving the tribe's number one warrior a chance to continue his evaluation, Baibu Wushuang, who had missed an arrow, did not stand there blankly waiting to die. The inverted body that turned over to dodge back was also pulled away again at this time. The inverted bow also shot two new upward arrows at a distance from the rapidly approaching Surtu. The twisted arrow shadow flashed in front of Surtu, and the strange flight trajectory also made the tribe's first warrior have to turn in another direction if he wanted to move forward again. It was too late for him to continue to close the distance. He had no choice but to twist and turn his head, and his spinning steps became even more dizzying in front of Duan Qing: "This guy... his speed seems to be slower than me with the magic bonus."
"He is the orthodox strong man. This is a method of movement that can only be possessed by an extreme burst of power." The one who answered him was Gedman on the side: "And his control is very strong. He can even dodge like this." It can all be done.”
"Don't you think the archer's posture is even weirder?" Looking at the sight of an arrow that flew out again and barely missed Surtu, Xue Ling Huan Bing's voice also followed suit. The ground rang: "Being able to draw the bow while rolling and dodging, and also being able to shoot such a curved arrow trajectory——"
"Barb shooting is just a high-level application of rolling shooting. Anyone who is determined to play bow and arrow can practice this level of skills." Duan Qingna shook his head and kept staring. The sight ahead did not waver at all: "But the distorted shooting trajectories were not forced by his posture."
"It's the result of his deliberate calculation of the wind force."
Snapped.
As if following Duan Qing's conclusion, a crisp sound then appeared in the center of the battle that attracted everyone's attention. The archers who kept pressing the opponent's movement direction in this way seemed to be also at this moment. Finally catching Surtu's flaw, an arrow close to his face was slapped hard by the strong tribal warrior's quickly raised arm. There was no time to think about how this strong man caught the trajectory of his attack at such a close distance. Baibu Wushuang, who was staring at the target in front of him, set up his next arrow faster, half The body that was kneeling on the ground then jumped back in a strong explosive movement. The body floating in the air was about to release an evasive shot, but it was deflected by another strange force: "This, this is - "
"It's Quan Gang! No, no, it's not Quan Gang, it's the violent wind he stirred up with his bare hands!"
"The calculation of wind speed will be affected... Ha, that guy's arrow did miss. Is this his first miss?"
"One such opportunity is enough. The space no longer allows him to escape Surtu's pursuit. This battle-"
"stop!"
A loud shout then broke the tense air, and followed the wild grassland wind and inserted directly between the two figures who were about to intersect. A figure emerged from the crowd and then gathered everyone's attention. The focus ran to Baibu Wushuang, who had been knocked to the ground by Surtu's punch, and tightly protected him behind him.
"Wait a moment!"
