Chapter 043 -044
043:
The damage of the vines is actually not very high, it is quite insignificant. What it really does is what it does to restrain the opponent's actions. People who are bound by vines will gain a negative status called "Winding", which will make people unable to move, and passively gain a current skill called "Struggle", each time they use it, they will reduce some of the durability of the vine, and after about two or three times, they will be able to break free from the vine and regain their freedom.
Generally speaking, players will take advantage of the opponent's bondage to attack with a big move, trying to take the opportunity to deal with the enemy, but Ju Mingfeng didn't do that - he just stood in place, facing Lin Shu motionlessly, and then the moment Lin Shu broke free, he suddenly sent another "vine entanglement", suddenly attacking Lin Shu.
He had already made a prediction when he made his move, ensuring that when this attack hit Lin Shu, he just broke free from the shackles of the vines, but unexpectedly, the moment Lin Shu broke free, a transparent arc of light and shadow suddenly blocked in front of the green light, and the timing was very good. The arc light and shadow only existed for a second, but it just blocked the green light and made it drift away in an instant.
Lin Shu gritted his teeth and said, "Ju Mingfeng, you try again?" ”
Ju Mingfeng's voice was innocent: "It's just the skill of the wood system." I didn't expect it to be so well animated. ”
Lin Shu believed that he had a ghost.
The skill animation of "Nine Heavens" is notoriously detailed and vivid, and "The Road to the Stars" is no different. But overall, the setting of the Nine Heavens is more subtle.
In the later stage of "Nine Heavens", when the three sects of the Demon Dao came out, the Moon Demon Gate, the Hehuan Sect and the Dragon's Dao were all extremely distinctive. Because it's a game school, it's not exactly a symbol of evil, but it's definitely a symbol of "evil".
And every skill of the Hehuan Sect can be said to be very improper. Not only can their skills suck blood and suck blue, but they will always be described with some weird descriptions, which makes them seem to be a sect...... Very profligate.
In fact, the various settings of "Nine Heavens" are very perfect, and Beichen is a company that pays great attention to game culture and world view settings, especially the road of "Nine Heavens" and "The Road to the Stars", which are the masterpieces of the next ten years, have achieved the ultimate in this regard, and they are completely the highest masterpieces after the establishment of Beichen Games.
Therefore, the characters in "Nine Heavens" are very antique, whether male or female, the appearance of the clothing is conservative and elegant, which is very in line with the background.
Except for the Hehuan Sect.
The setting of this sect is very characteristic of the Demon Gate, especially the characteristics of the Demon Gate in the Xiuzhen novel. Although because of the nature of the game, there is actually no real erotic content, but the glamorous dress, weird tricks, and exclusive to the Hehuan Sect, after being defeated and using the "Supplement" skill, even if resurrected, it will be followed by at least fifteen minutes of weakened state "Supplemented", which is all tangled and funny.
But Lin Shu didn't expect that at this time when this sect had not yet been launched, Ju Mingfeng would be able to find such a "vine entanglement" skill with a style close to that of the Hehuan Sect.
He said, "You're such a pervert! ”
Ju Mingfeng said: "What pervert? It's just a little fun. And I can't touch you now, maybe I'll have to wait five or six years, and when I think about it, I feel that life is not bright, and I don't want to have some fun on my own? ”
After complaining like this, he lowered his voice and muttered: "And it's just for the game character, and it's not really for you." ”
Lin Shu was angry and funny when he heard it, and lowered his voice and said, "If you want to have fun so much, how about I go back and find a whip to whip you twice, and let you enjoy the fun?" ”
Unexpectedly, Ju Mingfeng really heard that his mouth was a little dry, and the appearance of Lin Shu holding a whip with his chin held high came to his mind, but he asked: "...... Are you serious!? ”
…… What the hell is this excited tone?
- My lover is a pervert.
Lin Shu laughed angrily: "What a ghost? Ju Mingfeng: I've known you for so many years, why didn't I find out that you still have this kind of preference? ”
Ju Mingfeng was disappointed, but when he heard Lin Shu's tone was not good, he still had to restrain himself, and said: "It's just fun, and don't worry, I will definitely be reluctant to pump you, but if you want to smoke me, I will definitely cooperate." ”
Saying this, he flicked the whip again, and a green light continued to throw it towards Lin Shu - in reality, there is no reluctance, and there will always be no problem with being obscene in the game.
Lin Shu reacted very quickly, and he would never give him this thought, and it was another second of "streamer boundary", which once again dispersed Ju Mingfeng's attack - using the defensive skill as an attack skill so easily, it was the first time Ju Mingfeng had seen it.
But this was made by Lin Shu, and Ju Mingfeng would not be surprised.
But Lin Shu didn't stop there. He took two steps forward, and with a move of "all laws are one", he immediately descended to Ju Mingfeng's surroundings. Ju Mingfeng made a move around to "draw the ground into a prison", and the light prison around him suddenly blocked the sword light, but unexpectedly, Lin Shu also hid a fixing spell behind the sword light, Ju Mingfeng set up a first perspective, and it was obviously too late to hide.
In desperation, he could only use the life-saving skill, but unexpectedly, Lin Shu's laughter suddenly remembered in the headset: "I caught you." ”
The voice was gentle with a little smile, but Ju Mingfeng heard it for a moment, and even his bones were crispy, so the other party's attack was ...... Of course, I didn't hide from it.
He saw that Lin Shu's character was fluttering, falling from the sky, and pounced directly on him. Because he knew that it was Lin Shu who was manipulating the character in the back, for a moment Ju Mingfeng directly brought Lin Shu's appearance into the game character, and felt that it was Lin Shu himself who landed on the screen, and then he was fascinated by the beauty of that scene.
Then he was blissfully killed.
Lin Shugang, who killed Ju Mingfeng, felt a little decomposed, but Ju Mingfeng's exclamation came from the headset: "Peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic." ”
Lin Shu: "......"
Go for your peony flowers.
He felt that every time he talked to Ju Mingfeng, he had a tendency to break his skills.
After a few more practices, Lin Shu almost wrote down the several terrains provided by the Jade Trial Secret Realm, as well as the rules of refresh of dungeon props and traps. Ju Mingfeng would be killed by Lin Shu every time he reached the end, because his mind was not on PK at all, and when he could kill Lin Shu, most of them did not kill him, he only flirted with each other uninhibitedly, and in the end, he was naturally slaughtered by Lin Shu again and again.
This is also thanks to the fact that he is in a competitive dungeon, otherwise with the attribute characteristics of the ethereal root, the bleeding damage that Ju Mingfeng has accumulated should be able to kill him in seconds.
After that, it's time for the evening competition.
Lin Shu made some preparations in advance, so he was not nervous about the upcoming game. In contrast, to his annoyance and surprise, he received several more requests for challenges before the heads-up began.
Although he is also quite interested in competition, and he is not afraid to try his own operation and the level of others, he does not want to waste all his time on this - he can play random matches when he has free time later, and it is okay to qualify, but it is not interesting to be harassed all the time.
So he easily ignored all the system prompts.
The challenge in "Nine Heavens" is like this, the challenge direction sends a challenge request to the challenged party, the challenged party selects the time and map, and then returns the message to the challenger. If the challenger confirms that it is feasible, they will confirm the information and then it will be automatically sent to the venue when the time is up.
Of course, Lin Shu and Yijian Lingyun's battle is not this process.
However, when Lin Shu entered the proving ground, he still found a lot of IDs that submitted challenge letters to him on the onlooker list on the right side of the preparation interface.
Lin Shu thought, "This is too persistent, right?" ”
He didn't know the spoonful of oil and vinegar that Yang Ziqi added to him in this matter, he just thought that all these people were just here for those two rankings, so he couldn't help but feel that this group of people was so idle.
However, Lin Shu also sighed for a moment, because a second later, a pop-up box inviting him to enter the competition jumped out in front of him. Lin Shu's gaze swept over the time of the server system on one side, and found that it was exactly one second past eight o'clock in the evening.
It's punctual enough.
Lin Shu and Yijian Lingyun are not a system appointment, so this can only be an invitation from the other party, which is simply not too early or too late. Generally speaking, a person will do this either because the time is very meaningful to him, or because he has obsessive-compulsive disorder. The time was set by Lin Shu on his own initiative, so Lin Shu could only think that the other party had obsessive-compulsive disorder.
His mind spun around several times in an instant, but his movements were not affected at all, and he accepted it very naturally.
His character is then transported to the venue.
As soon as I entered the venue, the sound that had been ringing in my ears quickly disappeared, and the surroundings became silent. The one-on-one game map is the smallest 400*600 map, but if you want to circle the field at a normal speed, it will take at least five minutes or so.
The difficulty of obtaining various items on the field will change depending on the value of the items themselves. The rarest props are likely to take more than ten minutes to crack the mechanism, and the difficulty and complexity of the mechanism will not only increase due to the increase in the level of the item, but the most powerful item itself can usually only be used in situ, so if it wants to rely purely on the prop to win, it is actually impossible.
Items can only be support at most.
The average Proving Ground veteran will learn this with just a few more fights.
However, for Lin Shu, it is impossible to completely use props. The attack bonus of the Ethereal Spirit Root itself is too weak, and I am afraid that it is slightly stronger than the Water Spirit Root and Earth Spirit Root. However, the first sword Lingyun is the main attack sword cultivation of the fire spirit root attribute, and the difference in base damage between the two sides is too far. In the absence of a variety of attack methods at a lower level, the attack power tends to have a greater impact on the battle. In this state, the law cultivator who is biased towards group attack encounters a sword cultivator with an extremely strong single attack, and the disadvantage is not a little bit at all.
But Lin Shu was not anxious.
As soon as he entered the field, he began to explore the field. So after the opening countdown was over, many onlookers in front of the computer noticed that Lin Shu began to move quickly in the trial arena.
"What is he trying to do?" Many people have asked such questions.
044:
Lin Shu ran around the map quickly. Soon it was discovered that he was supposed to be exploring the map, searching for items and traps.
In the afternoon, Lin Shu had basically understood the terrain of the eight basic maps when he practiced with Ju Mingfeng, so at this time, he was completely able to choose a route with a high degree of concealment but able to complete the exploration of the whole field efficiently.
He now runs along this route, making sure that he is hidden between the trees and pillars and other shelters the whole time, and occasionally sweeps the props and traps he sees along the way to judge their value and usefulness. Three times along the way, he almost collided head-on with a sword Lingyun, and in the end, he cleverly dodged it.
He naturally couldn't have known that many of the onlookers would let out a sigh of disappointment every time they saw that the two were about to collide, but they didn't really encounter each other in the end, and while despising Lingyun's slow reaction, he blamed Lin Shu for only dodging.
But Lin Shu didn't just run away.
The afternoon practice allowed him to memorize the forms of most of the traps and props, and he didn't have to get close to determine what the traps were. After each encounter, he adjusts his course and chooses the right move.
Then, in the rest of the time, look for the right items and traps.
In the process, he also obtained several items. Because it takes a lot of time to get props every time, Lin Shu chose very carefully and was not greedy.
However, the speed at which he opened the mechanism surprised many people. Lin Shu's progress in opening the mechanism was so fast that many people felt unreal, so some people carefully observed the mechanism disk when he opened it afterwards, and then found that Lin Shu's process of opening the mechanism was almost without hesitation, and the way to open it each time, even if it was not the best step, was probably very close.
Some people who watched the real-time battle with their friends immediately complained: "This problem-solving ability is too rebellious, right?" Isn't it really a plug-in? ”
This state of boredom lasted until Lin Shu discovered a rare prop at the prefecture level - "Kunpeng Bone Wing". When this prop appeared in the field of vision, almost all the onlookers were shocked, this is a high-level prop that is cherished to the extreme, although it is only a defective "bone wing", but as a prop it can completely resist an attack, and if it can be brought out of the arena as a reward, then it can even be made into a ground-level magic weapon, called "Lutian Wind Wing", the effect is more outstanding than ordinary flying swords.
Many people can't meet the refresh of this prop after hundreds of games, and it is inevitable to choke after seeing it. Generally speaking, if you don't have any discipline, you can directly end the battle in harmony and amicability.
But many people know that this game is not an ordinary competition, so it must not be solved directly and harmoniously. Now it's up to Lin Shu to see if he can bring such a prop out of the dungeon.
Or...... Can he resist the temptation to open this mechanism?
But obviously, in the eyes of many onlookers, Lin Shu did not resist this temptation, he still approached the bone wing that was bound to the stone platform by the silver lock, and began to contact the mechanism.
This is obviously a stupid act, because the difficulty of opening ground-level props often takes at least five minutes, and five minutes is enough time for a sword Lingyun to go back and forth and find Lin Shu or the storage of bone wings.
But just when many people shook their heads at his self-control, they were surprised to find that Lin Shu's speed of opening the mechanism once again exceeded their expectations, and the opening progress of the mechanism disk was almost changing at a speed of every second, and soon approached eighty percent...... And that's only been about two minutes.
Many people suddenly made a commotion, inevitably mixed with a little envy, jealousy and hatred, and refused to believe that Lin Shu could obtain a ground-level prop so easily.
saw that when Lin Shu reached 80% of the progress bar, he suddenly stood up and retreated from the side of the stone platform.
He retreated inexplicably, which made many people feel very strange, but Lin Shu never stopped for a moment and began to return the same way, and began to dismantle the mechanism extremely unpickingly along the way. Many people don't know what he wants to do, they just feel inexplicable.
Lin Shu dismantled all the way to meet Lingyun again with a sword, just when many people thought that he might catch up this time, but unexpectedly, Lin Shu turned again, got into the bushes again, and began to run towards the place where the bone wings were refreshed.
His actions are completely confusing.
But this time, Lin Shu's escape was not very successful - that was also nonsense, he dismantled so many mechanisms, just following such traces with a sword Lingyun could quickly find the place where the bone wings were stored.
And it was obviously easier for onlookers to find out that when Yijian Lingyun discovered the bone wing, Lin Shu was actually lurking near the stone platform.
Then many people finally understood Lin Shu's reason for doing this.
When Lingyun discovered the bone wing, he was very surprised, and then he touched the mechanism disk, and found that the progress was only twenty percent left.
Unlike some bystanders, the perspective of others followed Lin Shu throughout the whole process, so he knew that this was a progress bar that Lin Shu didn't know why he deliberately left. His first reaction was that Lin Shu had gone into hiding because he had discovered his presence in the process of dismantling the mechanism - this guess was not wrong except for cause and effect.
He thought about it for a second and decided to start searching around.
But this kind of search has no effect, because Lin Shu has already used an invisibility charm to hide himself at this time, the invisibility charm is a common prop in the pvp arena, the speed is slowed by 60% after use, the movement state lasts for ten seconds, and the static state lasts for two and a half minutes, whether it is attacking others or being attacked, the stealth state will be immediately lifted.
Yijian Lingyun also thought of this, so he kept using his attack skills to sweep the grass during the search. It's a pity that Lin Shuxuan's location is too good, and it is an open space between two dilapidated columns.
The dilapidated pillars can be used as a shelter to block the view, and the open space can allow a sword Lingyun to be trapped in habitual thinking, without searching too hard. Lin Shu squatted on a half-walled wall at an angle, and if he was attacked, the long sword would easily hit the wall and wear out durability, so Lingyun didn't even try to attack.
Many people wondered if Lin Shu had even predicted this a long time ago.
But everyone still couldn't understand Lin Shu's reason for doing this. In this process, Lin Shu actually had several opportunities to attack Lingyun with a sword and gain the upper hand, but Lin Shu never moved.
After searching for a period of time without success, he hesitated for a long time between continuing to search for Lin Shuyi all over the map or first cracking the mechanism that had the remaining 20% progress, but finally lurked - he felt that Lin Shu would definitely not give up this 80% progress in the end, after all, the bone wings were very rare.
A group of people watching the battle watched the two squatting dozens of feet apart, and the spoiler heart was almost breaking through the sky.
After a pause like this, Lingyun still approached the bone wing and began to crack the mechanism. Lin Shu suddenly laughed, moved his mouse to the mechanism from a distance, and began to observe the progress.
When Yijian Lingyun cracked the mechanism, he observed the surrounding situation after about five percent of the progress, but in fact, most people saw his cracking progress and realized that his cracking speed was much slower than Lin Shu's, and there were many more mistakes or redundant movements. However, his speed was not too low in the average efficiency of the spectators, so he quickly cracked down to five percent of the remaining progress.
When the progress reached ninety-five percent, the character of One Sword Lingyun turned around and examined the surrounding movements, and Lin Shu knew that this was the last time - generally speaking, the closer a thing is to success, the heavier a person's adventurous mentality becomes, and the remaining time, One Sword Lingyun is definitely more willing to spend on quickly unlocking the mechanism, rather than spending time on being suspicious.
He stood up, stepped on the open space without grass and trees, and began to approach Lingyun step by step.
Every footprint he stepped on landed on the gravel floor where no vegetation grew, because only then would there be no noticeable sound of walking. But even so, after he slowly approached, he suddenly entered a state of stealth and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
At this time, he was already very close to Lingyun with a sword, even to the distance range where he could directly attack the other party, and many people didn't understand what the point of Lin Shu consuming an invisibility talisman at this time.
What Lin Shu was waiting for was only the most appropriate time.
When the progress of the mechanism reached three percent, Lin Shu suddenly appeared, and then suddenly launched an attack towards Lingyun.
A sword Lingyun was suddenly shocked, but his eyes swept over the blue bar of blood, and he found that his health value had only dropped by one-tenth, or when Lin Shu launched a magic system ultimate, he suddenly had a bottom in his heart.
As a cultivator, Lin Shu's attack power was so low that it was incomprehensible. After the accident of Yijian Lingyun, he began to disassemble the mechanism against Lin Shu's attack - under normal circumstances, Yijian Lingyun would definitely immediately turn around and start PK with Lin Shu, but at this time, the progress bar of the mechanism has reached ninety-eight, if he doesn't get the things in his hands quickly, Yijian Lingyun feels that it is likely to be picked up.
It was because of this delay that the blood volume of a sword Lingyun was cut by two-thirds by Lin Shu.
No matter how weak the damage is, a high frequency can still grind people to death.
But Yijian Lingyun is not worried, he still has a lot of life-saving skills that have not been used. With Lin Shu's attack power, as long as he obtains the props, he has every chance to turn the situation around.
There was only one last square left to go, and Lingyun was ready to fight back when he got something, but suddenly, a white light exploded in front of him, and then the picture suddenly turned gray.
