013 Escape
Emerald Forest, 1.2 Delhi from the edge, two players, one tall and one short, are walking in the woods. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Is there really a hot spring in that place?" The short, skinny guy asked.
"Of course, I lied to you." Because of the suspicion of his companion, the man who answered was slightly unhappy: "Actually, I found that place early in the morning, but there are many monkeys guarding there......"
"How many monkeys scared you?" The man who had just started to speak asked again.
"How many are that? That's a swarm of monkeys! The man was even more angry: "What do you think this place is, this is the Emerald Forest!" There are all kinds of species in the Emerald Forest, and not to mention monkeys, even if a little white rabbit is placed in front of you, you have to consider whether you will be killed by one move......"
"I don't believe it, those 10,000 monkeys are standing there, and you have the courage to rush forward...... By the way, do you want me to take you there? Don't have so many problems if you want to go! ”
Although the other party was a little hairy when asked, the short and thin man was a lot more relieved. But he thought about it for a while, and then decided to inquire from a different angle: "There are a lot of sunset flowers around there, right?" ”
"Of course, according to my observations, sunset flowers like to grow in such warm and humid places." Perhaps asked about his strengths, the man before became proud again: "And now that it has warmed up, it is estimated that the group of monkeys will run back to the deep forest in the south, and there should be no monsters nearby that can threaten us......"
"It's better to be cautious. I heard that a few days ago, a team encountered a wild boar on the outskirts of the forest, and was chased all the way, and finally that person was chased all the way to the edge of the forest, and finally he could not escape death", he sighed, "The post on the forum also told tears, the listener was sad, and the listener cried......"
"Ah, I've heard about that, too." The man from before said: "I heard that there are three people in that team with armor, and one of them has an iron shield, which is already very powerful here in the novice village. I don't know where he got it......" He muttered quietly for a while, and then frowned: "But it is indeed a very rare thing to encounter a monster like a wild boar at the edge of the forest, I have never heard of it before anyway, I only know that the teams of those big guilds usually go to the depths to hunt these creatures, and it takes a lot of effort and time......"
"So, don't worry." The companion said, "If we can meet it, it is estimated that we will have to be lucky...... Hey, do you hear the sound? ”
By the time he said this, the other person had actually noticed that something was wrong, because the other person had already stopped and looked in a direction ahead with wide eyes.
"What's the matter......" He looked in that direction as well, and then saw a running figure coming this way through the layers of trees.
The man seemed to be holding something in his arms, and when he ran closer, the two of them realized that he was also carrying a person in his arms, and that the man was still struggling.
Robbery? Kidnap? Performance art?
Doubts didn't linger in their minds for long before they were startled away by the approaching rumble.
The two of them watched in amazement as the galloping figure ran past a short distance to their left, and then a huge boar roared and followed behind. The boar stared straight ahead with red eyes, not even glancing at the two passers-by.
As if a storm was passing through, several voices ran away in the direction they had come. In the mess all over the ground, the two men looked at each other in disbelief. After a while, the short and thin man spoke, "Do you want to buy a lottery ticket?" ”
"Well, actually, I want to ask...... Do you want to go to the hot springs......
"yes, do you want to move forward......
The fallen leaves, which had just been swept up by the storm, slowly flew past them, most of them falling again, and a small part drifted into the distance, chasing after the instigator of the incident.
*******************
"Ouch...... You, you bastard! ”
Being casually held in the arms of a man is naturally unacceptable for a girl, but as a young girl of the new century, in such a time of crisis, women's reserve is naturally something that can be abandoned. So the curse in the girl's mouth was not because of Duan Qing's hooligan behavior.
At this moment, she was once again thrown to the ground.
From Mengzhu's point of view, with Duan Qing's strength as a novice, it was almost impossible to escape from the giant pig's pursuit while holding a person. Mengzhu's level and attributes were originally stronger than Duan Qing's, and Fang Cai hadn't survived a few rounds under the hands of the wild boar, not to mention that Duan Qing was still holding people, and the consumption of physical strength alone was much faster than usual, not to mention such a thing as fighting.
So in order to escape along the way, Duan Qing did everything he could. He often put Mengzhu down, ran back to lure the boar to entangle with him for a while, and then came back unscathed in the earth-shattering roar of the wild boar, picked up Mengzhu's soft body and continued the journey of death. Sometimes Duan Qing didn't have time to take the first step in this cycle, so he had to do it like now...... Throw the dream bamboo out directly.
Although some skill has been used, a seriously injured person with severe pain all over his body must be unbearable to be thrown out like this. The first time he was thrown out, Mengzhu's shock was still greater than fear, and then he became angry. In the painful struggle and the curse on Duan Qing, she couldn't even notice how the newcomer had managed to escape death the first few times.
This time, of course, she wouldn't have noticed, in fact, she was in pain and was about to pass out.
Throwing, turning, lunging, and then a sudden pause - in front of the brakes, the boar charge is suddenly magnified!
"Bluffing Charge ......"
Duan Qing jumped to the right with what little strength he had left, and the huge body of the wild boar stopped where he was standing just now, and the air flow it brought out blew his body away.
Rolling over the momentum, and then standing up again, Duan Qing slowly paced to the right, slowly circling with the wild boar as the center, while watching the wild boar's twisting body. When the boar's huge head is about to face him, he continues to rotate at an accelerated pace.
"Don't turn behind it......"
Duan Qing thought silently in his heart, constantly reminding himself, while looking at his surroundings with the corner of his eye, looking for an opportunity to escape again.
Anything, trees, boulders, preferably with a large pool or something......
Roots, vines, shrubs, ravines...... Along the way, in order to get rid of this wild boar with increasingly red eyes, he has used all kinds of obstacles to use all his strength. The last time he escaped, he used a seemingly hard boulder, and he tried his best to lure the wild boar into the blue stone, thinking that he could make the wild boar faint for a while, but the picture of the broken stones was simply beautiful, and now he recalled that his face twitched a little.
The big tree that I bumped into when I attacked Mengzhu before, could it be an "iron tree"......
He speculated maliciously, and with a roll of his eyes, he slowly led to the place he had chosen, where there was a tree that had fallen for some unknown reason, and its branches had withered, and it seemed that it had been lying there for some time.
He jumped all the way, left and right, and did not get very far away from the boar. The wild boar kept teasing around with its fangs, looking like it was dancing with Duan Qing.
The two figures jumped back and forth, slowly approaching the broken tree. Duan Qing, who approached first, saw the appearance behind the broken wood, and after being slightly stunned, a wicked smile appeared on his face.
Duan Qing jumped forward and strode to the side of the broken wood, pulled away from the wild boar who was caught off guard, and then overturned and crossed to the other side of the broken wood. Turning around and standing still, he grabbed a branch and hit it across his chest, facing the wild boar over there: "I'm going to defend, come and hit me......"
The fool jumped up unexpectedly.
Unlike Mengzhu's haste at that time, Duan Qing even had such a very short time to recover a trace of physical strength, so he threw himself forward in the direction of the broken wood and fell to the ground.
The wild boar's fat body crossed the sky, over the trunk of the tree, over the top of Duan Qing's head, and then ...... Straight into a pit in the back.
"Intelligence is too ...... ...... low"
The pit seems to be a natural artifact, and if you look closely, you will find some unknown plants and mushrooms growing in it, and it seems that it has been around for some time. The wild boar, who obviously didn't expect a pit behind, landed in a somewhat deformed position, and there was a hint of horror in his straight red eyes.
"Bang!"
The tooth-souring sound of shoveling sounded, Duan Qing did not look back to appreciate the tragic situation of the wild boar's "hard landing", slowly trotted back, found the girl who was thrown down by him before, and was still lying on the ground struggling slightly, picked it up and continued to run out of the forest. Not surprisingly, the complaint belonging to Mengzhu came again.
"Don't you know what it means to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, it hurts! Please, don't throw me to the ground like that next time, okay? No, don't have a next time......"
I don't know if she thinks it's useless, or because of the injury, Mengzhu's voice gradually became smaller, but she also knew in her heart that the current situation was already the best result of the man's efforts in front of her......
The sound of shaking and howling of anger was heard again, proving that the boar had clearly not given up.
"Huh, huh, it really won't give up......" The long period of tension made Duan Qing a little out of breath: "The last time I saw a person being chased to the edge of the forest, and then he was killed......"
Thinking of the scene when he first entered the world, Duan Qing's pace sped up a few points. The light ahead suddenly brightened, and it was already possible to see the green grassland on the outskirts of the forest through the sparse trees.
Victory was in sight, and the howls behind him suddenly amplified.
A huge whistling sound came from behind him, and Duan Qing could feel it without looking back, and the wild boar was charging again. It's just that unlike what he had observed before, the sudden charge accelerated much farther away than before!
For some reason, Duan Qing's mind flashed over the player who flew out of the woods when he first entered the game. As if thinking of something in a split second, he jerked his foot close to the nearest tree, and then threw the girl out again, despite her screams.
Since he had been held in his arms, Mengzhu didn't know what Duan Qing felt in the middle of those few seconds just now. It wasn't until she was thrown out and a brown shadow brushed past her eyes that she realized she had flown over the edge of the tree trunk.
Do you really want to fall me to death...... The girl thought hatefully again, and then prepared to bear the pain of landing again, but this time, a more intense stimulus came to her mind more suddenly than the pain of landing.
The earth-shattering howls, the loud crash, and the crackling of trees were heard at the same time, and the tree that had just passed her was broken—the trees at the edge of the forest looked much more thin than those in the depths, so the tree was broken by the force without any suspense. The girl struggled to move around in pain, and finally did not become the first player in the free world to be crushed to death by a falling tree.
Not far behind, the huge head shook twice, as if trying to get rid of the dizziness of the impact. Then, the pair of red and terrifying eyes slowly settled on the purple figure that was lying on the ground, slowly struggling to escape.
This prey looks familiar......
Probably thinking that this kind of movement could not hide from the ears and eyes of the wild boar, Mengzhu gave up struggling, she turned over hard, gritted her teeth and turned her back to the sky, looking at the wild boar's close proximity, almost as long as her body's fangs, although it was a generous and righteous look, but there was still a little trembling in the scream: "That bastard uncle! How dare you use me as bait! I remember you! If you just run away, I'll ......."
The giant beast's snort sprayed on Mengzhu's face, and with the saliva flowing from its mouth, the hideous head pressed her words back. The boar stared at the prey near its mouth with its red eyes, and then ...... Suddenly a nod.
A stone bounced off its skull, flew in front of Yumetake's eyes, and rolled backwards.
"Hey, I've been saving you...... I've been saving you," got up from the ground not far away, and Duan Qing retorted rhetorically. He gasped slightly, but his men did not stop, and took out another piece of gravel from his bosom, and threw it at the wild boar over there. With a bang, the boar's head paused slightly.
"Although I don't know if you can understand it, but on this occasion, I think it's still very appropriate......" Duan Qing calmed his breath and then took a deep breath.
"Sun thief!" He shouted.
In Mengzhu's stunned eyes, the wild boar finally turned his head slowly, his eyes fixed on Duan Qing's body, and his red eyes gradually turned blood-red.
"Tsk, it looks a little ...... It's not good......" Duan Qing sighed for a while, then turned around and ran.
In the dust where the wild boar ran away, Mengzhu's tense body finally relaxed, although he had shown that he was not afraid of the ground that day, but when he thought that he was going to die, the fear in his heart still lingered. She spread her arms outstretched, straightened her body, took two heavy breaths, and then murmured, "It's thrilling...... But why are you running into the woods......"
She turned her head sideways and looked in the direction of the dust: "Why ......"
******************
Of course, there was a reason why Duan Qing ran into the woods.
Although it had reached the edge of the woods, there was still some distance there, and the closer it got to the edge, the more scarce the trees became, and when the time came, the beast would probably not be able to avoid another such collision.
And after such a long period of movement, there is mostly no one in the woods.
He ran in a certain direction, looking for a good terrain that he had noticed before, keeping a proper distance while keeping an eye out for the boar's movements. The wild boar rushed over, and he still met it as usual, and then found a tree to make some entanglements - although the wild boar was strong, he knew so many moves, and he thought that he understood almost the conditions for activation, and the early warning actions before activation, at best, he was just a creature with well-developed limbs and a simple mind.
Of course, the previous charge needs to be recognized.
All in all, this monster is still not beyond the normal range, so just deal with it in normal ways...... He thought so, and in the field of vision ahead, two large trees standing very close to each other stood upright, with a gap nearly two meters wide in the middle.
"It's so narrow, it should be able to get stuck...... Duan Qing held on to one of the trees and stopped, letting his physical strength recover slightly, and waiting for the stupid pig by the way. It was only when the boar rushed out from behind a tree that he suddenly ran into the gap.
The distance should be right, okay, are you going to charge or jump......
Duan Qing was thinking like this, and a whistling sound sounded behind him.
"Come to the bowl, little stupid......," he whispered to himself, and with a clenched tooth, he quickly passed through the two trees. Due to the sudden outburst, Duan Qing's physical strength was exhausted in an instant, and he used the last trace of his physical strength to pounce forward, rolling a few times by inertia before stopping.
The loud sound of the collision and the howl of the wild boar came at the same time. Duan Qing looked back and saw that the wild boar's bucket-like figure with thick and thin ends in the middle was unsurprisingly stuck there. He let out a sigh of relief, and then laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, poor pig general, do you think I am also one of those fools who was slaughtered by you......"
The laughter came to an abrupt end.
In Duan Qing's stunned expression, the pig general slashed his two front hooves hard, and in a burst of humming and chirping, he pulled himself out of the gap in the trees with a "poof".
The wild boar shook its fat body, and then jumped back and forth a few times as if it was adapting to the movement, looking at Duan Qing's eyes crooked, revealing a little contempt - looking at that skillful movement, this was probably not the first time it had done it.
"Sure enough, it's a demon, and he still has intelligence...... Duan Qing's mouth was so shocked that he didn't close it for a long time: "And he will mock ......"
The pig general shook his body, and then in a few small jumps, he came around the side of the two large trees. With interested eyes, it stared at the prey that had been playing it for a long time, and slowly got up from the ground, snorted twice in its nose, swayed its fangs, and turned its eyes upward, with a great sense of "you keep running".
Duan Qing slowly stepped back, staring at the wild boar that was gradually approaching: "I'll tell you, don't mess with me......"
The boar continues to approach.
"If you force me again, I'll call someone......"
The wild boar snorted.
"Don't go too far...... Well, you win. He kept his distance, then pulled out his dagger.
His eyes slowly closed, his body gradually relaxed, Duan Qing exhaled, and then opened his eyes, his eyes suddenly became fierce: "Even a pig looks down on me, how can I bear it...... Do you think I ran here just to you? ”
Duan Qing stood sideways with his sword, and then flung it to the right. The boar on the opposite side lowered its head and aimed its fangs in front of it.
"Run here...... It's because no one can see it......"
He rushed forward with his sword!
According to his own habits, the wild boar changed his trick and made a forward arch, Duan Qing turned sideways slightly, and then turned around, his fangs slicing through his back. Duan Qing's right foot was forced, his step was wrong, and he flashed to the left front, his body rotated around at the same time, and the short sword in his hand slashed down with the torque of his waist.
Round Dance Chop!
The arc flashed through the air, leaving a deep ...... on the rough skin on the boar's right side Bloodstains.
"I'll rely on ......" Duan Qing scolded in his heart, taking advantage of the wild boar's lack of time to use the sweep, a few jumps widened the distance.
If there are professional players standing here at this time, they will inevitably applaud the slash just now, but if Uncle Blacksmith is standing here, it is estimated that he will only shake his head and sigh at this weak one.
"The skin is really thick...... Duan Qing said in a low voice. Through the adaptation to the game in the past few days, he felt that he had reached a satisfactory level of control over this body, and the round dance slash should also have seven or eight points of power. But in terms of results, the gap in absolute attributes cannot be bridged by technology......
However, after so many years of wind and frost, Duan Qing has long since lost the idea of giving up easily. As the boar inhaled slightly, he rushed forward again, and because of his previous knowledge of the boar's defenses, he changed his tactics and tried to find new opportunities.
"If this game is real enough, of course you have weaknesses......" After a series of dodges, he formed a close relationship with the boar again, and the boar gave up howling and swung its head diagonally.
The strange figure flashed suddenly, Duan Qing's footsteps connected the dots, suddenly accelerated, turned to the back of the wild boar a few times, and then held the sword in place to concentrate, and stabbed down with a sword when the wild boar was unresponsive.
Even Thrust!
The tip of the sword pierced slightly, and then the boar turned around, nearly sending the weapon flying.
"It's not ...... behind" Duan Qing was expressionless: "Then let's bleed casually......"
After a few more exchanges, Duan Qing circled around the wild boar again. This time he deliberately maintained a high-speed rhythm, slashing around the boar with his sword from time to time. No matter how nimble the wild boar was, it couldn't cope with such agile skills, it was even half a beat slower to turn around, let alone dodge Duan Qing's incomparably fast attack. For a time, the back, front legs, hind legs, and even belly of the wild boar were attacked in many places. Although none of them were fatal, there were some places where blood was spilled.
Perhaps it was the irritation of the painless attack, or perhaps the instinctive feeling of the danger of death, the boar's eyes finally turned completely blood-red. It got up suddenly, its two front hooves raised high, and slowly moved with its hind hooves, its front hooves were facing Duan Qing, and its eyes, which seemed more condescending because of this action, stared at him, feeling like they were going to squash him with a blow.
Duan Qing moved twice, confirming that the big guy had been aiming at him with this action, and a strange thought rose in his heart: "What does this mean, don't you want me to go around the back...... Don't look down on people......" He slowly approached along the diagonal line, intending to suddenly accelerate to the back of the boar's "feet" as it writhed, but as he approached, the boar's eyes flashed fiercely, and its huge body suddenly fell.
"Boom!"
The air flow mixed with the fallen leaves in the sky erupted outward with a huge earth-shaking sound, mixed with Duan Qing's small figure - although he dodged this direct suppression attack, he was still shocked out by the huge aftermath, and the huge force made him fly along the ground like a splash, and bounced a few times before hitting a big tree.
In the violent impact, Duan Qing spat out a mouthful of blood, but quickly rolled over, gritted his teeth and stood up. This blow almost wiped out his HP, and his back was a little painful, but unlike Mengzhu, Duan Qing had no intention of giving up, and the light in his eyes became even hotter. He stood there checking his health as he slowly gathered his strength, shook his shoulder, and a thought flashed through his mind.
After the dust cleared, the figure of the wild boar standing upright again gradually appeared, and the two pairs of eyes staring at Duan Qing became even more ferocious.
Sure enough, this is intended to be suppressed indefinitely...... However, this trick is not without flaws, as long as it .......
The prey's expected panic did not appear, and the boar approached again with small steps. Duan Qing maintained the same movement speed as the wild boar's "aiming" action, and slowly lured to the side.
He counted the distance and stepped back a little bit, and the wild boar walked on two small short legs, and he was also moving forward a little bit. The delicate balance lasted for a few seconds, and then at some point it was broken - Duan Qing took a step forward, then jumped back.
In front of him, a huge shadow smashed down again, and the shock wave mixed with dust rolled out in all directions, and the power seemed to be a few points stronger than the previous blow, but Duan Qing knew that the moment of real threat had passed.
His body flew out, and then, of course, he slammed his back into a tree - he calculated the position and distance, adjusted the protective position, so after this impact, he still had 8% health left. Then, with his arms outstretched, he leaned against the tree with his back hunched, and as his body was about to slide down, his feet rested on the trunk like a spring about to burst.
The next moment, the spring vanished, and the timing of his rush was unexpected by the boar—it hadn't even gotten up yet.
"I heard that you have a high IQ...... "In the dust, he flew in front of the wild boar and stabbed down with a sword: "I heard that you look down on people......"
The howls that had been with him many times sounded again, but this time the cries were painful and bitter—
The sword stabbed the boar in the eye accurately.
