Volume 1 The Wasteland Chapter 8 The Witcher
Leaving the Wasteland Station, Mu Chen galloped in the direction of the Boundary Map Department, relying on his foot strength without riding a mount, and his firm eyes made him look heroic and fearless.
Three years ago, when he and his companions first arrived in the wasteland, they had experienced the power of the Boundary Map Department, and they still remember it very well. Faced with the fear of the unknown and the opponent who fought back with all his might, his companions were timid, gave up, and returned to the comfortable human continent, leaving only him to stay and persevere by faith.
Three years have passed, and the rookie explorer who first learned the cruelty of the wasteland is now at ease, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the memory of the suffering and bitter hatred of the Boundary Map Department, and he wants to vent all the torture he suffered in the wasteland.
"It's the first time I've come back since I defeated the Boundary Atlas, and today I'm going to let this tribe, known as the strongest tribe in the wasteland, feel the despair we felt back then. The anger on Mu Chen's face was similar to his usual free and casual expression.
He chose to run on foot, not because his feet were faster than the mount he had, but because he didn't know how to release his anger, and only by running non-stop could he calm down and make him not angry.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, the long-distance running finally had an effect, his expression was no longer so hideous, his mood gradually calmed down, and his pace slowed down. Stop at the edge of a dry tree trunk, sit and rest, and fall asleep with a simple replenishment of food.
At night, he dreamed of many scenes from when they first arrived in the wasteland, sometimes pursing their lips and smiling, sometimes distorting their faces, and the calm night was mixed with his unquiet dreams, indicating that the perennial peace and tranquility of the Boundary Map Department would be broken, and a bloody battle was coming.
The next day he woke up early, combed his thoughts, and after the night, his mind, which had been affected by emotions, came to his senses, calmly got up, summoned his mount, and set out on the road to the Boundary Map Department again.
After a long time, he could vaguely see the station of the Boundary Map Department when he stopped, changed his equipment, and saw a faint light flashing on his body, and he looked majestic and brave after changing into a black combat uniform.
The upper body is dressed in black, the right neckline is pressed against the left neckline and crossed on the chest, the sleeves are short, the arms are exposed, the length of the dress is to the knees, due to the perennial battle, the hem has been somewhat damaged and irregular, and the neckline and cuffs are edged by blue decorative ribbons to fit the body.
The black trousers are visible under the wind-swept hem, and there is not much decoration, but it can still be seen that the two pieces of equipment are made of the same material. This was the first time Mu Chen challenged the King of the Wasteland, and what the King of the Wasteland gave was made of silk spun by the Beijin Department with a variety of metals mixed with other rare materials, which was light and soft to wear, and could defend against powerful magical attacks.
The waist is tied with a feather silver belt, about 15 centimeters wide, bright silver, the belt is tied with blue silk in the middle, and the blue trim of the pants is the same color, tied around the waist to make the clothes more close, the upper and lower body lines are obvious, and the proportions are perfect. The belt is made from the smelting of metals that are a specialty of the Ore Valley, which is a special mineral gathering place for the Beijin Ministry, guarded by the nomads of the wasteland.
The ghost king's shoulder guard on the shoulder is Mu Chen's trophy after defeating the ghost queen, worn on the right shoulder, the shoulder guard is the ghost king's skull, the face is hideous, the fangs are clearly visible, and the two horns on the head are slightly tilted outward. The left shoulder is wrapped by the cuff of the jacket and is not equipped at all. The Ghost King Valley has high temperatures all year round, and underground magma eruptions are frequent, requiring extremely high endurance to reach it, and Mu Chen has only been there once.
On his feet, he stepped on a pair of black leather boots, faintly visible with a spotted pattern, the boots were as high as the calf, and the style was simple, but the wrapping was very good. The boots were made from the skin on the tail of the leopard man after defeating the leopard leader, and Mu Chen had to go in and out of the leopard man's territory five times before he could save enough fur to make boots. The material is lightweight, and you don't feel the weight on your feet, which can greatly increase your movement speed.
The wrist guards and gloves on the hands are made of the queen's breastplate and abdominal skin, respectively, the wrist guards are slightly stiffer for support and protection, and the gloves are soft for finger movement. The Queen's Cave was the nest of the demonic beasts that Mu Chen had visited the most, but the loot was scarce, and only breastplates and skins were available.
In his left hand, he holds a recurve bow, about a meter long, black overall, and the thin white bone armor raised on the surface makes it easier to hold the fingers, which is the vertebrae of the Skeleton King of the White Bone Mound, although it looks hard, but the essence is excellent, especially suitable for making bow blanks. The bowstring is made of the spider silk of the colorful spider of the glazed lake, the water of the glazed lake is the same as the sky, although it is called the lake but there is no water, the colorful spider only appears once a month, Mu Chen in order to collect raw materials, in order to make it spew out more spider silk, stunned to drag the ten-minute battle to four hours. The bowstring is so strong that it won't break no matter how you pull it, and with the bow blank made from the spine of Skeletron, a powerful longbow is born.
There is no bow and arrow in the quiver on the back, and there is a faint blue light on the upper mouth, which is made of the demon elf wings of the elven ruins, there is no need for a physical bow and arrow, just put your hand into the quiver to materialize the arrow, and the arrow with the magic power of the elf is extremely attackable.
The equipment replacement was completed, only the head was completely exposed, without any hat and helmet protection, Mu Chen fought most of the battles in the wasteland with one enemy, in order to have a better line of sight, he simply removed the hat and mask to protect the head, and when using a bow and arrow to attack from a distance, it was also more conducive to aiming. The main reason is that he doesn't like the feeling of sweat stuffing in his hat and helmet and his hair sticking wet on his face.
The whole equipment is the materials he collected in the wasteland, and he spent a lot of money to make and dye it on behalf of the old man Weng of the post station, etc., he paid unimaginable efforts, tirelessly entering and exiting the territory of the Demon Beast, killing the major leaders, and only then did he get together this body of witcher equipment, although it was all put together by himself, but it was the best, and its offensive and defensive capabilities could not be underestimated.
He took a deep breath and jumped lightly on the spot a few times, walking lightly towards the station of the Boundary Map Department.
When the patrolmen on the periphery saw someone coming, they immediately put on a vigilant posture. But Mu Chen didn't care, and as he walked, he released arrows towards the station, unhurriedly, the arrows shot straight out and stuck on the tent, one after another aimlessly. He did not do it to attack them, but to proclaim his arrival in a contemptuous provocation.
The two sentries drew their swords and ran towards him, shouting at him as they ran, "Who are you and what are you here for?" The people behind did not follow, still standing at the entrance of the station, in their minds, this intruder only happened to appear here, although accidental, but not to endanger the safety of the tribe.
Mu Chen didn't care about the oncoming sentinels, but continued to shoot arrows at the camp, completely ignoring the other party's actions.
Seeing that the two sides were about to meet, he stopped and stood still, strode forward with his left foot, drew two arrows from his quiver, drew his bow, held it for about five seconds, and then released the fingers holding the arrow feathers, and the two arrows flew out with a light blue light, heading straight for the two sentinels, and the yellow sand flew up under his feet.
The two of them looked at the flying arrows and were a little panicked, and they were not ready to dodge, and in a panic, they raised the knife in their hands as a shield to block in front of them. With a "dang", the arrow pierced through the blade and struck one of the sentries in the eyebrow, and he fell to the ground bleeding profusely as the broken knife flipped in the air. The other sentry did not block the arrow at all, and hit the left chest, and due to the huge penetrating force, the person was directly picked up by the arrow and dragged backwards for six or seven meters before landing.
Strong attack, this is a move that Mu Chen often uses to deal with a single enemy, the arrow shot is fast, powerful, and can often penetrate the target, but it needs to be charged, and it is necessary to start at medium and long distances, and it is rarely launched when it is close to the body. In the face of the approaching patrol, he killed them accurately with a strong blow.
The patrolmen who were still on guard at the entrance of the camp panicked when they saw their comrades being killed, and looked at each other in disbelief, not understanding what was happening for the time being.
"Don't panic, there are a lot of us, you two go back to report the situation, and the rest are ready to fight. A shout that seemed to take the lead.
The two heads who went back to report the situation ran to the depths of the camp without looking back, and the remaining six people set up a formation, distanced themselves from each other, and rushed towards Mu Chen.
Mu Chen walked over to the corpse of the patrol soldier he shot, touched the head of one of them with his foot, sneered, and said to himself, "I may have overestimated the strength of the Boundary Map Department. Then he passed by with contempt and continued to shoot arrows at the tent.
Six patrolmen fanned towards Mu Chen, and he thought to himself: "This is a loophole that has seen through my strong attack, it takes time to accumulate strength, and the six directions can't be taken into account at the same time, so I underestimate you." ”
He stood still, moved his right foot back half a step, and rotated his upper body in turn in the direction of the patrolman, and slightly adjusted his feet to match the rotation of his body, shooting arrows in six directions, and the whole action was completed in two or three seconds. Looking at the patrol soldiers, they fell to the ground one after another in the order in which the arrows were fired, and without exception, all of them were killed.
The witcher uses the bow and crossbow as the main weapon, and the long-range physical attack is the main skill, just using the rotary shooting, and shoots the bow and arrow at 360 degrees around the body at a fixed point, with a fast rate of fire and a wide coverage angle, but the power is small, and the fatal disadvantage is that it cannot move and dodge, and it is easy to be attacked by long-range talents. Just now, these six people just met the activation needs of this skill, so that Mu Chen showed it vividly.
After killing these six people, the patrol post at the entrance of the Jietu Department was empty, and the two who went back to report the news shouted while running, calling out all the tribes in the nearby camp tents, after they came out, they looked at Mu Chen suspiciously, and the Jietu Department, which had always only taken the initiative to attack, was attacked by an outsider who came out of nowhere, which really made them incomprehensible, so they were stunned in place and did not make any move.
Mu Chen walked to the gate of the camp and shouted at these questioning members of the Boundary Map Sect: "I am the mercenary Mu Chen, who has come to avenge the revenge of three years ago, and today I will wash your tribe in blood." ”
