Lu Yuan used the beast-controlling skill Shenjue Acupuncture to give the mantis a few acupuncture treatments, correcting its posture slightly and providing inspiration.
The two little mantis beasts raised their swords, and suddenly they felt electricity flash through their arms, and their whole bodies trembled.
The blocking stance blocks physical attacks, but spiritual attacks such as Shenjue Acupuncture cannot be blocked.
The posture of the two mantis beasts was a little unstable, their forelimbs began to tremble, and they might fall down.
"Stay steady, this is to improve your proficiency. You must learn to fight and hold your ground.
“Even if you are in a complex environment, your blocking posture must be stable.
"As long as you can stabilize yourself every time and persist despite interference, you will be able to master this skill much faster."
Lu Yuan's several suggestions made the two little mantis beasts deeply grateful.
Once the parrying stance is learned, it is extremely difficult to improve because it is difficult to discover the shortcomings of one's own stance by practicing alone.
Only by experiencing failure in repeated offensive and defensive transitions can we slowly sum up experience and learn how to use force to maintain a blocking posture under what circumstances.
And this is only the learning method at the master level. When you reach the master level, the learning method has to be changed again, turning into a learning mood, and it is no longer necessary to learn in battle.
At what stage should you learn which method? After Lu Yuan used Shenjue acupuncture to stimulate those core muscle groups, he explained the following precautions to Uncle Jiang.
The two mantises fought against each other every day to practice offensive and defensive battles. The defender used blocks to defend, while the attacker imitated Kaishan-style offensive techniques.
The wounds are smeared with red mud leaf elixir every day, and the beast master himself also has to help the pet beast make a post-battle summary, such as which step is too weak, which step should give up defense, and seize the opportunity of the opponent's stiff movements to counterattack.
These are all required courses for combat beast masters.
Lu Yuan is a training beast master, why does he teach so carefully?
Because he has a fighting heart, but because of his talent, he entered the cultivation department.
He is in the cultivation department, but his heart is in the combat department, and he always pays attention to combat knowledge.
Of course, the above teaching process is also part of the work of the cultivation department, and is not entirely the main point of the combat department.
In job positions, they are generally called skill trainers or combat trainers. They will help others train specific skills and charge a training fee after successful training.
At this time, Lu Yuan heard the roar of firecrackers and fireworks outside the house.
This was a sound of celebration, but seeing Uncle Jiang's expression suddenly change, he immediately changed his mind. This was not a sound of celebration.
"The battle has begun?"
"Yes, let's eat quickly to prepare for the Nian Beast's attack." Uncle Jiang's heart sank, and he turned back to eat.
"It's already this time, why should we eat?" Lu Yuan was puzzled.
In modern times, New Year's Eve dinner is a meal for family reunion and celebration. It is a festive meal before the New Year.
Uncle Jiang shook his head and said, "If you don't eat now, you might not be able to eat tomorrow. This is the New Year's Eve dinner, the last supper every year."
Jiang Xue also nodded and said: "Senior, after eating New Year's Eve dinner, you will have the strength to go to the battlefield. Eat quickly."
As she spoke, she left most of the plate of meat without daring to eat it.
Lu Yuan lives in a happy future life and does not know the hard work of his predecessors.
Seeing the two people's expressions of ready to die, as if there was no tomorrow, and no joy at all, Lu Yuan felt the weight of the Nian Beast disaster in ancient times.
This is an annual disaster, a disaster that will appear in the annals of human history in every era. People in later generations may not realize the danger, but people in this era have to worry about whether the whole family can survive every year. Go down.
In ancient times, the New Year's Eve dinner was by no means a celebration of the New Year, but a family meal cooked with all one's strength, not knowing whether the family would live until the New Year.
"Okay, I'll eat as soon as possible."
Lu Yuan originally wanted Dabai to help show off his meal.
After realizing the true meaning of the New Year's Eve dinner, he decided to eat it himself.
For no other reason than to respect the disaster of the Nian beast.
Lu Yuan sat down and quickly cooked rice and picked up vegetables.
Jiang Bo and Jiang Xue saw Lu Yuan starting to pick up vegetables, and they also joined the army.
Dabai on the side also ate faster and no longer made cheerful eating sounds.
Obviously, Dabai also realized how rude his joy was to the ancients.
"Hey, it's Chinese New Year, so you don't need to be so serious." Uncle Jiang felt the tension at the scene and felt that he had messed up.
The New Year's Eve dinner is indeed the last full meal before death, and it may be the last reunion dinner for the whole family.
In the face of disaster, the atmosphere of silence is not good, as if everyone will not survive.
During the Chinese New Year, you should smile at the Nian beast.
Use loud laughter to scare away the Nian beasts, blast them with huge fireworks and firecrackers, and tell them to go back to the forest and not disturb humans.
Thinking of this, Uncle Jiang took the initiative to tell a joke, heating up the atmosphere at the scene.
Lu Yuan also understood and laughed heartily.
Since the fireworks started, there has been more laughter in the village.
People are fighting against the Nian beast in their own way.
Since the Nian beast is afraid of noise, red, and fire.
Everyone laughed loudly together and used fireworks tubes, red firecrackers and other pets to blow up the village.
Two minutes later.
Lu Yuan finished his meal and rode Dabai out of the house.
Red lanterns have been lit in every house in the village, and the red candlelight illuminates the entire village in bright red.
People did not leave the house, but were talking loudly and laughing.
The firecracker beast had already been hung under the red lantern, moving in the wind and making a crackling sound.
Firecrackermon's classic skill is explosive sound.
This skill does not require throwing small firecrackers. Just shake the firecrackers and they will explode. It does not consume much physical energy. After setting off once, the explosion will continue again after a while. Later generations call it "cannon fire in the void".
It functions like a decoy bomb. It only has sound and no real lethality. It only makes a noisy sound to prove that there is a firecracker beast setting off firecrackers here.
The second skill is Multi-Sound Explosion, which consumes real firecrackers and causes fire attribute explosion damage to the Nian Beast.
Consuming one firecracker doubles the damage, consuming two firecrackers doubles the damage.
As long as it can explode the middle-aged beast's body, it can explode into pieces at the least, and half of the body can be blown off at the worst.
The side effect is that one less firecracker is used and it takes a longer time to grow back.
Therefore, the villagers measure how powerful the firecracker beasts are by how long they can explode.
The powerful firecracker beast can explode continuously for more than ten minutes.
A firecracker beast with a weak constitution has low endurance and may only last about three minutes, or even less.
Lu Yuan heard the crackling of firecrackers, but the fireworks didn't make much noise.
The fireworks tube beast is different from the firecracker beast. Both skills are consumable skills. They are gold-oriented beasts. Each firework ammunition costs real money to make.
In modern times, this consumption is nothing, and firing ten rounds in a row is nothing more than a few to dozens of dollars.
But in a poor ancient village, unless you are rich, you really can't afford to keep a pet like a firework tube.
Coincidentally, before Lu Yuan fell into his dream, he specially collected a batch of fireworks and ammunition from the Cheng family and brought them into his dream.
