Chapter VIII: Investigation

"Strength, agility and physique have all increased, but unfortunately the time required to train now is greatly increased. ”

Looking at his attributes, Adil sighed a little.

He picked up his sword once more and practiced the knight's breathing technique on the spot.

After completing the complete knightly breathing practice, Adil was sweating profusely, but his eyes were very bright, and he was panting as he sensed the data in his mind.

"If you continue to practice 323 times, you can increase your strength by 0.1, agility by 0.2, and system by 0.1..." A mechanical voice sounded in my head.

Adil shook his head, a little helpless: "It's just a triple of time, it's acceptable, but the further you go, the more time it takes, and the less attributes you can add." ”

He lowered his head and thought about it, after this period of crazy cultivation, he found that the limit of his daily practice of the breathing method was about fifteen times.

This is the ideal maximum number, and if there is a problem, such as a physical injury or a wrong movement, then this number should be reduced accordingly. However, with the existence of chips, coupled with the gradual proficiency during this time, such accidents rarely happen.

However, more than 300 times, even in the most ideal state, it takes more than 20 days of training, if there is any accident on the way, conservatively estimated, it is not unusual to use the last month.

This time is not much in normal times, but now, it seems a little tight.

"It's a pity. Thinking of the news he had heard recently, Adil sighed secretly.

It seems that the situation on the front line is becoming more and more tense, and in recent times, the situation around has begun to become more and more chaotic. During this time, Adil had heard the news of the massacre of several villages, and it seemed that bandit groups from other places had come here from afar, taking advantage of the fact that the nobles in this area were ready to come and plunder when they could not make a move, so that everyone around them was in danger, and even the nobles had no sense of security.

This is not surprising, this world is not a safe and harmonious place in the first place, the wild is full of wild beasts and robbers, and there is no way to maintain local law and order without a certain amount of force.

In this case, as the maintainer of order in this area to some extent, Count Boria naturally had to take action to maintain the stability and order around him.

Adier's knight apprentices, all of whom were extraordinary, were sent out one after another during this time, leading teams to perform various tasks one by one.

In the past few days, the few remaining apprentices have left here one by one, and now, including Adier, only two or three apprentices are still here.

The reason why Adil can still stay here now is probably because he was seriously injured on the battlefield before, so he specially left a little more time to recuperate.

Thinking of this, Adil put down the long sword in his hand and replaced it with another weapon for training swordsmanship.

Now the surrounding situation is too tense, in addition to the knight's breathing method, swordsmanship, which can quickly increase combat power, cannot be put down to deal with the future battle situation.

···········

Ten days later, as Adil had expected, it seemed that his wounds were almost healed, and Count Boria ordered him to be sent out as well.

In an empty forest, Adil rode a black horse, followed by several retinues who were also on horseback.

"Is this the area?" Arriving at a certain location, Adil dismounted, his sharp eyes quickly scanning the surroundings, and asked a few of his followers behind him.

"Yes, sir. ”

Seeing Adil dismount, several attendants behind him also dismounted, and one of the attendants with a face full of vicissitudes responded.

"According to the information I found before, it was indeed rumored that there were mountain storm bears in this vicinity in the past, and there were several villages in this vicinity that were attacked and killed. ”

When I came to this place, it seemed that the atmosphere around me was a little gloomy and depressing, and several of my followers seemed a little depressed, and one of them silently told the information here.

When talking about the mountain bear, there was a trace of fear in this person's eyes, as if he was extremely afraid and afraid of this kind of birth.

Adil didn't care.

Mountain tyrant, this is a terrifying creature of this world.

In this wild world full of all kinds of dangerous beasts, there are also some particularly strong and dangerous lives.

This mountain storm bear is one of them, and it is the overlord of the mountains. It is rumored that he can even slaughter a small army on his own, and the power is terrifying.

In the area where Adil is staying now, it is rumored that someone has seen the figure of a mountain storm bear, so he specially sent Adil to investigate.

Of course, this is only one of the tasks on the surface.

In the early days, as the battle situation on the front line continued to stalemate, a large number of bandit groups surged into this area, plundering and making waves in the territories of various nobles.

And in this area, hunters have seen a large number of robbers passing by before, and it seems that they are hiding near this area, not knowing what to do.

Adier's mission, in addition to finding out the mountain bear on the face, also needs to find the traces of the bandit group.

It can be said that neither of these two tasks is easy to do, and once it is really encountered, it can be dangerous at any time.

Not to mention the unknown number of bandit groups, those who dare to rob the nobles openly are all real outlaws, and their strength is often not weak when gathered.

Mountain storm bears are also not easy to mess with. This level of life is no longer something that ordinary people can deal with, unless an army is dispatched to besiege and kill, or a top knight-level powerhouse is allowed to take action, otherwise it is basically impossible to deal with.

Fortunately, Adiel's mission is only to investigate, and he is not really asked to deal with these characters.

The group took a few steps forward, and Adil glanced around quickly, observing the surrounding scene.

On the surface, he observed very casually, but in fact, with the existence of a chip, he only needs to glance at it casually, and through the analysis and comparison of the data of the chip, he can get good results, which is far more effective than other people's detection methods.

"Ding! Different breath residues were detected, and through data analysis, the similarity with mountain storm bears was: 74%. ”

In my head, the voice of the chip machine suddenly sounded.

Adil looked ahead, where a large tree was lying crooked, hanging its crown towards the earth.

The tree looks huge, more than a dozen meters tall, and needs to be hugged by two people. However, the central part of the trunk breaks out of thin air, causing the trunk above to tilt towards the ground.

At the trunk of the tree, about four meters above the ground, a huge depression appeared on the trunk of the tree, and it was deeply sunken into it, and the shape looked like the claws of some kind of beast.

"This is the trace of the mountain storm bear's activity. Looking at the fallen tree, behind Adil, a middle-aged man's face turned pale.

Adiel's face was not very good at this time, he carefully looked at the traces of this big tree, and analyzed the strength of this mountain storm bear in his heart.

can almost break a tree more than ten meters high with one palm, this kind of power, once it is slapped on a person's body, I am afraid that it can be directly slapped into a ball of meat sauce, and the whole person will be directly shattered, leaving a blur of flesh and blood.

Even if it was Adiel, if he was photographed head-on by this mountain storm, he would probably be seriously injured all of a sudden, and it would be impossible to deal with the other party.

"Ding! The analysis is over, and the target strength attribute is 5.7 or more..." In my head, the voice of the chip sounded at the same time.

At least 5.7 or more strength, it is definitely a terrifying value, and if an ordinary person is not a knight or a strong knight apprentice, I am afraid that if he is rubbed, he will die.

Adier's face suddenly turned blue, this strength has exceeded the limit of what he can handle, even if it is a strong knight, I'm afraid not everyone can handle it.

He raised his head and looked around seriously, the chip in his mind scanning his surroundings through his eyes, constantly gathering information around him to spot lurking dangers.

The chips in the body constantly feed the analyzed data back into the mind.

He looked ahead, and four or five meters away, there was a green bulge, which was well concealed in the surrounding scene, but it was easily spotted under the comparative analysis of the chip.

Adil didn't move forward, but raised his arm slightly, and a crossbow was quietly aimed ahead.

"Calculate the wind friction, please correct the action: the arm is offset to the right by three centimeters. ”

As Adil moved, the chip in his mind quickly calculated various data that might affect the accuracy, and then fed back the corrected movements.

This is also the reason why Adil wants to carry a crossbow, he himself is a knight apprentice who has been trained for many years, his physical stability is very good, plus the chip can analyze data and calculate resistance, so he doesn't have to worry about aiming at all.

With a soft sound, the string on the crossbow shook slightly, and an arrow shot out at a rapid pace, hitting a target seven or eight meters away.

The entourage beside him quickly reacted, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, and by the way, the arrows and prey were recovered.

It was a small snake with a green body, one meter long, but its body was very thin, and its entire body, including a pair of snake eyes, was turquoise, which was difficult to identify in the mountains and forests.

It looked like a poisonous snake, but at this time the entire head of the snake was pierced by an arrow, and it was no longer able to move.

"This is a green-eyed snake, it has a strong poison, even a lion, as long as it is bitten, it will die within an hour. ”

Behind Adil, a hunter who had followed him as a guide recognized the species of the snake and looked at Adil with some trepidation.

Adil nodded, pulled out his arrow, and grabbed the snake's body directly.

As if electrocuted, at this moment, the little snake that was originally motionless suddenly moved, and its mouth opened and bit towards Adil fiercely.

The attendants on the side were shocked and wanted to step forward to stop them.

An arrow stained with green snake blood stabbed down violently, and the terrifying force cut the entire head of the little snake in an instant and fell to the ground.

The expression on Adier's face did not fluctuate at all, and he calmly dug open the snake's body and found a green solid piece from inside.
