On the third day of the match in Wugong Square, the stone slabs on the square were still intact under the protection of some force, but the dreams of most players had long been shattered. In the team competition, except for An Ran, the rest of the teams that entered the top eight were all composed of NPCs, Looking at these young and dressed people in the rivers and lakes, players had to admit that the gap between their strength and the NPCs in this world was too big.

This gap is not a gap in level and equipment, in fact, many NPCs tend to have much lower equipment and levels than players, but when they form a team, they can simply abuse many 'gods' who think that their equipment is on the top of the rankings. Having a good set of equipment, a lot of rare skills, and a level that stands out from the crowd, but you can't even touch the corners of the NPCs' clothes, this is the most worrying.

An Ran still remembered the player who had a full level 70 and a shining gold-level equipment, he and his teammates walked into the square proudly, and in the face of seven young female NPCs from the Valley of Hundred Flowers, those few female disciples with soft swords and darts in their sleeves directly beat this level 70 player to the north. Level 70! This is the highest level that the Huaxia system is now controlled within the range of upgrades, which means that at this stage, players will reach the top of the sky after leveling up to level 70, when the Huaxia mastermind thinks that it is necessary to raise the level of players again to participate in the plot, you don't want to go to the monster leveling anymore, it's useless, and there will be no trace of experience left to you in any case.

The top-level player took advantage of the excitement and returned with a long sigh to the sky, and when he looked up to the sky and sighed, how many players said what they thought: "We worked hard to build equipment, level up, and find skills, but in the end we couldn't beat even the most ordinary NPCs, so what level of equipment do I have to practice?" ’

"Then forget about blindly leveling and playing equipment," An Ran thought to himself at that time, "treat this game world as if it were the real world, practice your basic movements with peace of mind, think more, and properly combine even a punch, a kick, a jump, a squat, with a certain skill, and improve your reaction speed and combat experience so that you can defeat them." Maybe that's the intention of systematically arranging this martial arts competition! Let players really feel their own shortcomings, and let them understand how to go forward. ”

In three days, An Ran and they easily defeated six teams composed of players, with various professional combinations and strange lineups, but they no longer let their teammates fall down, and even many times there was a person in the team who was playing soy sauce, because An Ran and Fan Yuntian could make each other's people jump. However, when faced with two NPC teams, either of them gave it their all to win.

An Ran and his teammates slowly walked into Wugong Square, flanked by a group of players who were constantly cheering for them, including the team that was defeated in their hands, these players didn't say how much they liked their team, the reason why they had to stand on both sides and raise their arms and clench their fists to shout 'Come on' for them was completely out of the same hatred and hatred.

"Aren't you NPCs amazing?" A lot of people think, "We're going to beat you all one by one." ”

These guys themselves lost the opportunity to wrestle with NPCs, and now they are pinning their hopes on An Ran and them.

"It doesn't matter if you win or lose!" A woman in white armor in the crowd stretched out her hand to An Ran, "Brother An Ran, you are the pride of our players, and our group will support you no matter what." ”

"Thank you, Lady Treading the Waves," the young man in black stretched out his hand and slapped it with the short-haired female warrior, "How can I listen to this and have a feeling that the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone and will never return?" He quipped.

"Don't!" An old man in a short shirt shouted: "You can't lose, I made a big bet, and this game will buy you to win." ”

"Bet! Place your bets! "Someone shouted at the crowd, "The player team wins one to five, and the NPC team wins one to two." ”

"This someone actually gambled in this bank, this odds are probably more auspicious!!" Thinking of this, An Ran could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

And then they get really bitter.

This is the most powerful team of NPCs, the team of dart masters of the Heaven-shattering Dart Bureau. This team is composed of seven top-notch dart masters, all of whom are high-rollers walking the rivers and lakes before becoming dart masters, and there are warrior monks with strong defense like mountains; There are warriors who are good at charging and hand-to-hand combat; There are swordsmen and assassins who wander around, waiting for an opportunity; There are also ranged class marksmen and mages who can deal terrifying damage. The most critical point is that the leader of this team is the boss of the Earthquake Dart Bureau - an old man who drives a dart game but likes to study Taoist techniques - the chief dart head Sun Zhen.

At this moment, the old man with long gray hair and protruding cheekbones was stroking his beard with one hand and playing with the Baoding iron ball in his hand with the other, looking at An Ran and his party, his eyes were sunken and his eyes were shining, looking like an eagle staring at his prey.

"Old-timers, please advise!" An Ran led his teammates to clasp their fists and salute first.

"Humph! Don't dare to be," the old man said unceremoniously: "Who dares to advise the friends of the wind building?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

An Ran was confused all of a sudden, when did she get involved with Tingfeng Lou?

"Good boy, don't you want to hide it, you and that Shangguan Lao'er went to the Mandarin Duck Tower to drink flower wine, do you think the old man doesn't know? He Shangguan Lao'er is not a good thing in the first place, and you can probably drink with him. People like you are afraid of the old man but they are not afraid, so don't say anything to advise, the people who listen to the wind building are bumped into by the old man and have always been beaten once they see each other. ”

His tone was not good, it turned out that he mistakenly thought that An Ran was the person who listened to the wind building, what the old man said made some sense, and the person who listened to the wind tower at least An Ran had seen it, and it was indeed not a good thing, because the young man had also beaten him several times.

Why does he think that Lao Tzu has something to do with Tingfeng Lou? Could it be Shangguan Qiutong? That's a bit of a fun. An Ran thought.

"Please!"

After the old man just spit out a word, a folding fan suddenly appeared in his left hand as if he were juggling, and the folding fan was opened with a bang.

It turned out that the brown and black folding fan, the fan surface was made of special fox skin, with Taoist runes depicted on it, and the fan bones were made of extremely thin steel sheets, and each fan bone penetrated through the fan surface to expose the sharp tip, which means that it was not a thing for people to fan the wind and enjoy the coolness, but a sharp weapon to kill.

He threw his right hand up, two egg-sized iron balls shone in the sun, Sun Zhen folded a fan with his left hand, and the two iron balls galloped towards An Ran like a cannonball, one went straight to An Ran's front door; One rushed to the long river standing in the middle of the crowd.

Seeing that the menacing iron ball was about to hit his front door, An Ran picked up the bamboo cane in his hand diagonally and knocked the iron ball out like a golf ball. It's just that the iron ball instantly returned to the palm of the old man's hand, and then he repeated his old trick, this time the iron ball was aimed at An Ran's throat.

For a while, two iron balls flew back and forth in the air, and every attack was the most difficult to prevent the opponent's weakness, and there was a clanging sound in the square, which was the sound of An Ran's weapons colliding with the iron balls, and occasionally accompanied by sparks in the collision.

As for why this iron ball can fly out and run back into the hands of the old NPC? An Ran naturally knew that it was weird, yesterday when watching the game of this NPC team, the old man also performed such a 'yo-yo' trick, at that time An Ran was thinking that the iron ball in his hand must be held by two extremely thin lines, and the iron ball that flew out, the old man naturally had a way to pull it back. Sure enough, under the sunlight, An Ran vaguely saw that a thin line like a hair would flash out of the air when the iron ball flew by, and he couldn't even detect its existence if he didn't pay attention or the light.

The way to crack the flying ball is to find the opportunity to cut the line, but how can it be so easy to find the opportunity to cut the extremely imperceptible thin line in dodging the iron ball? It may not be too difficult for An Ran and Fan Yuntian, but it is as difficult as it is for the teammates behind the master and servant.

The sunset of the long river has been sealed in the right hand and the left hand is throwing, and the inch-headed Taoist priest is adding various attributes to his teammates. In addition, he had already placed four green talismans in the four directions of the southeast, south, and northwest, and circled around the place with a whisk, drawing a talisman array called the 'Green Vine Mixed Yuan Array'.

This kind of formation is based on the formation that he used to use in the past'Qingteng Rune', the formation is originally called 'Mixed Yuan Array' is a popular skill that Taoist priests can learn at level 40, the so-called popular skill is basically all players can learn, just like the swordsman's 'sword trick' seems to be mediocre, in fact, this skill needs players to comprehend it by themselves, for example, Xiang Dong can attach the seemingly chicken rib 'sword trick' to the genus of thunder and lightning to make it more powerful.

If the 'Mixed Yuan Array' is just set up within an ordinary 'Soul Fire Talisman', it will at most cause the enemies who enter the circle to be burned, and they will not be able to control the enemy. Of course, if the cultivation of the Taoist priest is high enough, then the burning effect of the soul fire talisman is also extremely powerful, such as the ancestor of the Taiyi Sect, Yun Zhen Zhenren; For example, some other Taoist Heavenly Monarch.

However, the current Changhe Sunset Yuan obviously does not have that kind of advanced Taoist technique, so he and his fellow drinkers searched hard, and finally found the 'Mixed Yuan Array' that used the green vine talisman as the eye of the formation, and the two of them affectionately called it' The advantage of this formation is that the enemy who enters the formation can be entangled by the green vine, freeze or slow down their movement, and the spikes growing on the green vine can penetrate the enemy's body to form a continuous blood loss, but the damage is minimal, so this formation is a kind of self-preservation talisman array, which can provide the Taoist priest with an opportunity to open the distance.

Of course, the two players who are obsessed with Taoism are still studying another kind of hybrid array, that is, using the 'Thunder Pattern Rune' as the eye of the formation, and it is estimated that the lethality must be not small, but now even the two who have learned the skill of drawing talismans cannot draw the 'Thunder Pattern' and find a matching Dao Decision, and it is not easy to say that it is not small, and it can only be determined whether it succeeds or not.

It's just that this action of the sunset of the long river has attracted the attention of the experienced NPC dart masters, and one of Sun Zhen's iron balls flew straight towards him, and three or two other dart masters rushed towards him at a very fast speed.

The dart master was followed by a dense array of arrows, and another dart master with a golden staff was chanting, and an arm-sized fire dragon had appeared on his dragon head staff.

This is the 'Spring Rain Arrow' and 'Fire Dragon Technique' used by NPCs, An Ran, they have seen its power, if a player with average equipment around level 60 is hit, it is estimated that it will be directly hit in seconds, even if it does not die, it will definitely lose its combat effectiveness.

"Oops! Three crispy cries are in danger! An Ran's heart tightened.

He himself has been entangled with Sun Zhen, the chief dart head who is a warrior but has Taoist skills, and another warrior, An Ran can't be separated from each other with one enemy and two enemies, and he can't take care of the iron balls that fly at any time.

"Interrupt him! Interrupt him! The black-clothed young man dodged the iron ball flying to his chest sideways, and hit the long knife of the dart master with a slash with a bamboo cane, and he could only silently hope that Fan Yuntian and the blade could interrupt the spell and body of the robed dart master.

Fan Yuntian, who had already touched the mage dart master and the archer dart master, and the blade picked up at the same time, and smashed the dagger handle in his hand into the two crispy skins. As long as these two are controlled, then the archer will not be able to shoot arrows again, and this mage's fire dragon will disappear from the staff, can they do it?

"Boom! Clang! The only voices that were reported to the two assassins were the sound of a dagger handle touching the back of their heads, and they failed, only to see the contemptuous expressions of the two NPCs slightly furrowed at the corners of their mouths.

Fan Yuntian's dagger slammed into the mage's 'spell shield' and rippled slightly, while the blade's dagger was blocked by the archer's bowed back.

A dragon roar resounded through the square, and the two assassins could only watch as the dragon flew towards their teammates.

"If the heart does not move, it does not move, and if it does not move, it does not hurt. Amitabha! The sound of Buddha singing sounded.

Dressed in a cyan monk's robe, the cuffs are embroidered with swastikas, and everyone's lady finally uses her signature skills. The golden transparent bell flew out of the woman's back, and moved in front of the long river sunset in an instant, and the gradually growing golden bell circled in the air to block the smoke, the nimble fat man, and the long river sunset.

'Golden Bell Cover' is everyone's lady's signature skill, and if she doesn't move like a mountain, she Guo Peiling is like an invulnerable female King Kong, but this time she used the Golden Bell to block her teammates, and she used 'Immovable Like a Mountain' to choose to resist the arrows like a rainstorm.

The 'Ding Dong Dong' arrow shot at the golden light of everyone's beautiful body, like thousands of mosquitoes biting sparks flying around, the impact of this 'Spring Rain Arrow' was so great, the female warrior monk's brows were wrinkling tighter and tighter.

The dragon grew in size as quickly as it flew through the air, and when it hit the Admiralty, it was already the size of a long bowl, and if an NPC stood next to it, it would feel as uncomfortable as a furnace.

'Buzz! The golden bell and the fire dragon burst open at the same time, and the waves of air swept through the sky.

'Wow! With a bang, everyone's lady spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the golden light on her body was scattered, and the ensuing arrows were all shot at her body, Guo Peiling could only fall to the ground softly, and she was the first to lose her combat effectiveness.

Ximen Blowing Cave danced his Fengying sword vigorously, just now all the people moved, he didn't move, because he couldn't move, he wanted to prevent the assassins and swordsmen on the opposite side from killing his own crispy profession.

"We are observing the opponent, and the opponent will also observe us, tomorrow Fan Yuntian and I will definitely be taken care of by the other side, so the task of protecting our crispy skin will be handed over to you and Sister Pei Ling, even if you use your body to block the attack for Ji Ping," An Ran said last night: "As long as our Taoist priest does not lie down, it is possible to get a chance to turn the tables." ”

An Ran said so, of course Xiang Dong and Guo Peiling did the same, and then what? Then there are eggs to use.

First, he could only watch the female warrior monk fall to the ground as a hedgehog pierced by an arrow, and then he resisted the sword of the opposite swordsman, pulling the sunset out of the assassin's control.

"Why didn't the vines rising from the 'Green Vine Mixed Yuan Array' have the slightest effect on these two people?" This is a question that several people think about at the same time.

It turned out that as early as when they rushed towards An Ran's team, the old guy who knew Dao Techniques secretly blessed them with Dao Techniques, and for a short period of time, the two of them would not be physically controlled, and the vines could not wrap around their legs at all.

Seeing that his swordsman was entangled with the swordsman on the opposite side, the assassin dart master couldn't strike a blow to the sunset of the long river, and suddenly accelerated and swooped down on the mage's nimble fat man.

There are three 'armor-piercing arrows' that come with the sound of the wind, which are spinning arrows shot by smoke falling, trying to kill this assassin who is also not very defensive in one blow, and must not let him close to the mage, otherwise the assassin's high-explosive skills are enough to control himself and the mage to death.

'Bell' twice, an iron ball flew out from the left to block an arrow, an iron ball came from the right and hit the left ear door of the smoke, the girl in the arrow couldn't dodge her head and was hit with blood splashed.

‘-1932’

She froze in place, jumping backwards in the cold snow of another world, her waist pinned with a strain of torso, but her game character Smoke Fall remained motionless. She was fooled and fell for the Assassin's control skill, Bang Gourd.

It turned out that the assassin dart master ran towards Gu Ping was fake, and he turned around and ran towards her with an armor-piercing arrow that resisted her, and when she was hit by an iron ball, the back of her head was pierced by the handle of the dagger at the same time.

Next, the assassin stabbed the girl in the chest with a 'kiss on the throat' and a 'heart-snatching' knife, and the smoke fell to the ground unwillingly.

Gu Ping's reaction was actually quicker than most mages, and when the assassin dart master rushed towards Yanluo, he used 'Frost Flowers All Over the Ground' at her feet, but due to the chanting of spells and group gestures, his 'Frost Flowers All Over the Ground' was still half a beat slower when the person's feet rose, and Smoke Fall was still killed and fell to the ground, and then he pounced on Gu Ping with a hideous face.

Gu Ping's kind of travel opportunity allowed him to have a rare skill of a mage, 'teleportation' can flash the body of the game character a few meters in an instant, which is a very superb dodge skill, with the 'frost flowers everywhere' to induce the melee profession to get close, and then flash out at the last moment, at this time the enemy just stepped on the frozen skill that the mage threw under him, so that the mage who opened his position could control the assassin and other professions to kill.

Originally, Gu Ping thought so at first, but that person was extremely fast; Second, he ran towards the shooter smoke, so this set of tried and tested skills finally failed, this is Gu Ping's life-saving skills, although his flexible fat man is a mage, he is not without self-protection ability at all.

His boots were full of frost flowers, and these snow-white and shiny frost flowers were not Gu Ping's own good companions, but the life-urging ghosts placed on his feet by the local mage dart master.

A dagger that was still dripping with smoke and blood pierced Gu Ping's heart.

"It's time to go home, adventurer!" The NPC assassin's cold voice sounded in Gu Ping's ears.

Gu Ping's 'teleportation' is still a step slower, and he is still a little short of the control of skill time, the so-called difference is thousands of miles, and it is this kind of 'almost' that makes him lose his life in the fight with NPCs who are experienced in combat.

"Fortunately, it's just a game, so you won't be killed, lose experience, or lose equipment." He could only wait for the dagger to sink into his chest.

Gu Ping could only watch as his game character 'Flexible Fat Man' fell to the ground and lost his combat effectiveness.

Falling with him was also the far end of the three-person attack of the knife Dachuan, facing three experienced NPC dart masters, Fan Yuntian and his apprentice Dao Dachuan were kited at the same time, Sun Zhen, the head of the dart head who is a warrior profession, roared 'sonorous roar' to stun the two assassins who were about to use the control skill in place, the other dart master shooter and the dart master mage immediately jumped back to pull out the distance, and before Dao Dachuan woke up, Sun Zhen used the iron fan in his hand to give this chubby young assassin a 'chop bone' his game character again The blade immediately fell into a crippled state, and with it came an arrow through the chest.

'Sonorous roar' just roared Fan Yuntian's afterimage, this is because at the last moment, the NPC kid used the 'Shadow Shock' skill, and three Fan Yuntian appeared in the Wugong Square, the first Fan Yuntian's figure in front of Sun Zhen was slowly dissipating, and the second Fan Yuntian had already used his own ' The skill of planting rice song inserted the bamboo stick in his hand into the abdomen and knee of the shooter of the dart master, the NPC shooter was taken aback, and couldn't help grinning, it was this stunned that made Fan Yuntian find an opportunity, his right hand stabbed the shooter's heart, and then his body swept out, the second Fan Yuntian disappeared, and the third Fan Yuntian stood by his master's side.

‘-780’

‘-426’

‘+310’

‘-3100’

‘+540’

A series of numbers on the shooter's head that are bubbling at the same time, with a red damage value and a green recovery value. After the archer was hit by Fan Yuntian's fatal blow, what was waiting for him was lying on the ground with all the blood drained, and he didn't expect to be pulled back by Sun Zhen's 'rejuvenation technique' skill, and what made people even more incomprehensible was that the 'rejuvenation technique' was actually a warrior who loved to specialize in Taoist magic.

In the sound of the tsunami of everyone outside the venue, Fan Yuntian couldn't help but scold his mother.

An Ran's figure standing beside Fan Yuntian was gradually dissipating, and four black-clothed youths appeared in the square at the same time, and they galloped towards the opposite Dart Master Warrior, Dart Master Archer, Dart Master Mage, and Dart Master Assassin in different postures.

'Dragon Xing' An Ran's angry fist went straight to the jaw of Sun Zhen, the head of the dart, Sun Zhen reacted very quickly and blocked the blow with an iron fan, and the second punch, the old man also used the iron fan to resolve the thunderous blow that ran to the abdomen, and then punched to the head of the dart, Sun Zhen, the head of the dart, was hit by the young man in black and retreated.

'Tiger Step' An Ran ran towards the dart master mage and the archer, and also used the 'Luohan Fist' he learned from the comet monk, and the extremely brave black-clothed young man was injured by an arrow on his shoulder, and as soon as he raised his foot to avoid the 'frost flowers all over the ground' thrown by the mage, he gave the dart master a knee blow to the mage, and the golden spell shield on the mage's body was instantly smashed to pieces.

There was a banging bang in Wugong Square.

'Crane Dance' An Ran faced the assassin who rushed over, only to see him fly up in the air like a white crane's bright wings, and then pulled out the bamboo cane on his waist at a very fast speed, and took a posture of splitting Huashan with the help of the force of his body falling with a cane, only to hear a loud sound of 'boom'.

“-3520”

The Assassin looked at the black-clothed young man standing in front of him with incredible eyes, lying limply on the ground.

'Dragon Walk' and 'Tiger Step' An Ran began to become illusory, and finally penetrated into the body of 'Crane Dance' An Ran like a phantom, with arrows stuck in his shoulders, although he killed the opponent's assassin, he could only witness the sunset of the Long River being hit by Sun Zhen's iron ball.

Outside the square, a tsunami-like sound erupted again, and many people didn't see An Ran's body and battle just now, but they just felt that the black shadow Dao was dazzled, and the young man in black was able to fight against four NPCs with the strength of one person, and then the NPC assassin was knocked down by him with a cane. This is so graceful and chic.

However, only An Ran knew that everything was over, and his teammates were only left with half a life left to Xiang Dong, and An Ran was clear that the swordsman with the online name of 'Ximen Blowing Acupoint' was unstable at this time. One of the people on the other side died, and the rest of the people had recovered to the point of being unscathed under the blessing of the old man's use of the 'Rejuvenation Technique', without the arrows falling from the shooter's smoke, without the mage's flexible fat man's spell, without the swordsman's swordsmanship of Ximen's blowing hole, without everyone's lady's resistance to injury, how could he and Fan Yuntian compete with them alone? Not to mention the damn frost that has climbed up the instep of the handsome young man.

"Brother An, you are the strongest adventurer that the old man has seen so far," Sun Zhen smiled as he watched the frost slowly climb up An Ran's body, "It's just that it can't escape a losing word." ”

"Fuck your stinking fart!" Fan Yuntian suddenly blocked in front of his master, facing arrows flying like locusts.

"You're a fucking idiot!" An Ran opened his servant with a palm, "Even if Lao Tzu is pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows, he won't have any pain, but what about you?" Do you like to be abused? ”

Countless arrows shot into An Ran's body, and the blood volume of the black-clothed young man was rapidly decreasing, and finally he was finally knocked several meters away by the fire dragon of the opposite dart master mage, and finally fell to the ground and burst out of the wooden card on his body.

"yes!" Fan Yuntian muttered to himself and shook his head and walked to An Ran's side, "Lao Tzu is excited, get up quickly, big idiot, the ground is dirty." ”

The match ended with An Ran and their defeat, and in the end, they did not defeat the NPC team again, as many expected. When everyone walked out of Wugong Square, they did not become depressed because of failure, there were many people who were sarcastic and abused, especially those who pressed them to win and lost money, but there were also many people who comforted:

"It's actually pretty good to be like this," someone said, "and we're proud of you." ”

"Humph! Just a loser, what's so glorious about losing? Someone scoffed.

"Glory even though defeated!" The man retorted, "At least people dare to fight and fight you?" ”

"It's okay to fight again next time." The female warrior who had fought their first game stepped forward and comforted.

"Thank you! Let's go, I'll fight again next time. An Ran grinned and walked out of the crowd with his teammates.

"Shall we have a drink? After drinking this wine, you can forget all the unpleasant things in your heart. When he went down the steps, An Ran looked at his sullen teammates, and took the lead in removing the wine gourd on his waist.

They sat on the stone steps below the Wenwu Temple Square and drank wine, and the wine gourd took turns to circle and take a sip of each person, regardless of the occasional passing crowd of pointers, and gradually a group of people began to talk and laugh, and their foreheads were covered with beads of sweat under the moisture of the wine and the sun.

There is a disappointment of losing the game and not finally reaching the end, but this loss is very small and should not become a stumbling block on the road of life, just like the very spicy spirits in the mouth, you can shed some tears under the cover of the wine, and finally you have to leave it behind and stride forward, because no one is born strong, and they have tasted countless failures before standing on the top of the mountain.
