Volume 1 The Old Days for the New Chapter 4 The First Kill

I finally solved the puzzle and got a piece of jade, which looked like it should be a nice item.

But the joy had to come to an abrupt end, and the sense of crisis rushed to Jiang Ling's mind with a chill.

Someone with a bow and an arrow took a condescending aim at himself from behind.

The horror failed to make Jiang Ling lose his ability to think, and in the next moment, Jiang Ling grabbed the shield, rolled quickly, and then lay down behind the stone statue without dignity, and held the shield to block his head.

If someone shoots you here, everything will be in vain.

"How can he have a bow and arrows? How did he come behind him quietly? Why did he come up and attack? Did he kill the player who just died? These questions flashed through Jiang Ling's mind, and they didn't stay, because he had already begun to think about how to fight against this person.

"It's not clear how good this man is at shooting, but it's certainly irrational to confront him in the open." Jiang Ling turned his head and glanced at the forest not far away, thinking about rushing into the forest to take advantage of the terrain.

But the bearer of the bow on the mountain spoke.

"Hey, friend, how about we talk peacefully?" A voice that is young and energetic, and there seems to be a bit of tension in it.

Jiang Ling raised his shield slightly, looked at the man through the gap between the shield and the stone statue, and found that he had put down his bow and arrows, and his hands were at his sides, but he was still holding the bow in one hand and the arrow in the other.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Ling must not have believed him directly, but he still replied to him.

"That's right, I see that your skills and reflexes are good, how about not forming an alliance? You've also figured it out, it's not just a matter of fighting alone, as long as we work together to take out the others. As he spoke, the man walked down the stone mountain and slowly approached Jiang Ling.

"You stop first!" Jiang Ling shouted, ready to rush into the forest, but after he saw that the other party really stopped, he didn't act, but asked instead: "If I had reacted slower just now, wouldn't I have been shot to death by you!?" ”

"I also just met a player other than me, and my first reaction must have been to aim..."The young man explained, then smiled, and said very frankly: "But then again, if you really can't react and are killed by me with an arrow, it means that you are too weak, and I really won't talk about forming an alliance with you." You tell me? ”

Jiang Ling was silent for a moment, although what the other party said was a little cold-blooded, but I have to say that it is very correct. Even if you want to fight in an alliance, you must find some powerful people to be partners, and the weak ones can be eliminated directly to increase your chances of winning.

Jiang Ling was not disgusted by the other party's words, but knew that the other party was indeed an honest person, but he still said cautiously: "I understand what you said, but now that you have a bow and arrow, the initiative is in your hands, you have to show sincerity." ”

The young man on the other side smiled again when he heard this, it was unexpectedly atmospheric for Jiang Ling, he directly put the arrow back into the arrow basket behind him, and straddled the bow diagonally on his shoulder.

He spread his hands and said, "Is there sincerity?" ”

Seeing this, Jiang Ling stood up and nodded, "My name is Jiang Ling." ”

"Huang Lie." The young man smiled and approached Jiang Ling again.

Jiang Ling thought about it and walked forward.

The distance between the two is getting closer and closer, Jiang Ling's hand holding the shield is clenched very tightly, and many nerves on his body are tense, but he has to make a plain appearance on the outside.

He didn't have any plans to yin the other party, but he had made enough plans not to let the other party yin himself.

Until the two faced each other, stretched out their hands, and shook each other.

Jiang Ling's heart relaxed a little, and he felt that the other party's palm was a little wet, and it seemed that the other party was also so nervous that he sweated.

However, when the two held hands together, it was a little bit of a psychological defense. While it's not rational to trust a stranger in such a life-or-death battlefield, you should always try to do it if you know that allied with other players is the best strategy.

"Hello." Huang Lie grinned.

Jiang Ling glanced at him, this was a young man, about twenty years old, with some yellow hair, slightly dark skin, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and some love in his wit.

It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, although Jiang Ling said that it is difficult to say that he has read countless people, but judging from Huang Lie's eyes, he should not be a scheming person.

Jiang Ling also smiled sincerely and said, "You scared me to death just now." ”

"I'm sorry." Huang Lie apologized and explained: "Soon after entering the game, I made up my mind to find a few teammates, but when I climbed the hill and saw your back, out of nervousness, my first reaction could only be to twist the bow and arrows. ”

"It's okay." Jiang Ling nodded: "I hope we can cooperate happily." ”

"Okay." Huang Lie glanced at the shield in Jiang Ling's hand and said, "This is what you found. ”

Jiang Ling nodded with a wry smile, then looked at the bow on Huang Lie's shoulder and said, "It's far worse than your weapon." ”

"Don't be envious, I'll have four arrows." Huang Lie turned sideways and let Jiang Ling glance at his arrow basket.

Seeing the other party's move, Jiang Ling felt a lot of trust in him, and said curiously: "Can you really shoot me from that distance just now?" ”

Huang Lie smiled embarrassedly: "Shooting an arrow to death is bragging, but there is a seventy percent chance that it will hit you." ”

Despite this, Jiang Ling still felt a little surprised, if the other party was telling the truth, then he was already very powerful.

You must know that there are many martial arts and knights on TV, but in reality, it is not easy for untrained ordinary people to shoot a target fifty steps away with a bow and arrow.

And he was just a hundred steps away from Huang Lie, and he was seventy percent sure of shooting himself, even if it was a little discounted, if he was fifty percent sure, it would definitely be stronger than ordinary people.

"I've participated in archery competitions in the city before, and I've won prizes... Third. Huang Lie explained, and then he glanced at the stone statue.

Jiang Ling was a little nervous in his heart, and couldn't help but feel alert again.

After all, people with a little common sense can see at a glance that they must have found something there, in case Huang Lie is greedy...

But Huang Lie just glanced at it, and then smiled: "You are very powerful, it seems that I am going to hug my thighs." ”

The other party was so open-minded, Jiang Ling was relieved a lot, but he still didn't take out the ancient jade he found to Huang Lie, nor did he explain, and Huang Lie also consciously didn't ask more.

"Say yes in advance, we're teammates now, first of all, we can't attack each other, we have to work hand in hand and fight together. But it's not about living and dying together, in case you and I fall into a mortal situation, the other party will give up or... Patch knives. What do you think? Huang Lie said it very directly.

"Okay." Jiang Ling felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he nodded.

"Then let's talk about moving forward." Huang Lie asked, "Where are you going now?" ”

Jiang Ling thought: "I'm from over there, but you came from here, and I've almost explored both coasts." ”

"Then go into the woods." Huang Lie nodded.

Then, side by side, the two walked towards the woods. Jiang Ling said again: "Looking at your and my situation, it is estimated that the spawn points of all players are by the sea, which should be the periphery of this small island. ”

Huang Lie nodded: "Then the direction we are going in now is to go to the center of the island, and I don't know if other players will go to the center." ”

"I think we should go there whether they go to the center or not, and while it's relatively safe near the spawn point, there's less to explore, and there might be something nice in the center of the island." Jiang Ling analyzed.

Jiang Ling had previously denied the intention of hiding near the spawn point, one because of the limited resources that must be available near the spawn point, and the other because Jiang Ling thought that this game would not give players such an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunistic tricks.

Huang Lie stretched out his hand to pluck away the branches, looked at the environment in the forest vigilantly, and said, "Will the danger increase?" ”

"It stands to reason that it will." Jiang Ling stepped on the leafy ground in the forest and walked slowly.

Surrounded by some trees of unknown variety, a bit like birch, the trunk is whitish, but the leaves are large and block most of the sunlight, only a few fall to the ground through the gaps in the leaves, forming bright spots of light.

The two of them were three or four meters apart, walking through the forest, because they had to be vigilant around, and the two did not talk, only the rubbing of clothes and branches made a soft rustling sound.

There were no strange objects in the forest, no animals, and it was only a few minutes before the two of them saw the edge of the woods ahead.

"It's done." Huang Lie pushed away the annoying leaves and walked quickly, trying to rush out of the woods.

But Jiang Ling found that his clothes happened to be hooked by a branch, he untied the branch, and was about to say a reminder, but Huang Lie had already rushed out of the woods quickly.

This was followed by a short scream and the sound of a fall.

Jiang Ling was shocked, he didn't have time to think about it, he tore off the branch and rushed out quickly, seeing that Huang Lie had been knocked to the ground, and one person was kneeling on his chest, one hand was holding his neck, and the other hand was holding a dagger, and he was about to stab him in the forehead. Huang Lie was desperately holding the wrist of the man holding the knife, twisting his body and struggling.

It was a young man dressed in gray, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Jiang Ling come out, he also happened to pass by and felt that someone in the woods was about to come out, so he was hiding nearby and was about to hit the other party by surprise, but because of the lush trees in the forest, he didn't notice at first that there was not one person in the woods, but two people.

Jiang Ling's first reaction was to pick up his left hand, that is, to pick up the shield, and slammed it on the man's face.

With the nosebleed splashing, the man's head tilted, unable to suppress Huang Lie under him, was overturned by Huang Lie, the panicked and angry Huang Lie turned over, coughed and scolded his mother, picked up an arrow that rolled to the ground, and stabbed it directly.

The man opened his mouth as if to ask for mercy, but the sharpened wooden arrow, in the next moment, pierced into his mouth, through the flesh, through the bone, and then poked out sharply from the back of the head, bringing out a little blood.

Huang Lie was also stunned for a moment, let go of his hand, Jiang Ling was also a little stunned for a while, and froze in place.

The man's eyes were round and full of horror and pain, and he opened his mouth and whimpered, and his hands trembled in front of his mouth at a loss.

The arrow was stuck straight in his mouth, and because he couldn't close his mouth, the blood from his nose fell into his mouth, and the blood in his mouth fell to the ground along the body of the arrow.

It took about half a minute before the man slowly fell to the ground, dead and dead.

"Kill... Killed. Huang Lie muttered in a trembling voice, then shook his head fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "He is going to kill me." ”

"Don't worry, it's just a game, we're players." Jiang Ling patted Huang Lie's shoulder to comfort him.

But in fact, Jiang Ling's heart was naturally difficult to accept.

Although this is just a game, because it is a mental devotion, the various feelings are too realistic, and it is really difficult to calm down for a while when I see a person dying in pain in front of him, or even say that he died at his hands, thinking about the panic and pain in the person's round eyes.

But I guess that's what you have to do after participating in the game.

This is a battlefield in the sky, a battlefield, how can it be called a battlefield if you don't kill people.

Killing and being killed, it's a good choice.

[One player has died, and there are eight players left on the field.] 】
