79. A slap in the face
His hand was stopped by himself, and when he thought about it, the swing just now was really heavy, and he might blush his face.
Xia Zuo gave up his thoughts before he took back control of his right hand.
At this moment, the mosquito was still sticking to the face, but sure enough, because there was no stinger, the mosquito did not prick itself, nor did it suck blood, and worked hard in place.
Xia Zuo shook his head quickly, and it flew away in fright.
Looking back, it didn't hurt to deliberately let myself hit the tree before...
With all kinds of doubts, Xia Zuo raised his right hand again, and this time he slapped his right cheek with more force.
"Smack~!"
The top of the tallest tree in the birch grove sent a louder slap to the surroundings.
"This..."Xia Zuo's face was dull, and a red handprint appeared on his face.
The damage is so low that the message area does not always return a change in HP values.
But the pain that was about to make people tearful did not make Xia Zuo complain in pain, because at this moment, a string of question marks occupied and filled his heart.
"Why can't I fan myself just now with mosquitoes... The main thing is to fan it to death, and by the way, it will fan itself ... It's weird. β
"Auto-dodge" doesn't work all the time, does it? Anyway, I didn't fight back against myself just now... Oh no, such a ridiculous thing as fighting back against yourself shouldn't happen, and even the mysterious power that orchestrates this "program" wouldn't have written such a buggy mechanism.
After all, if you fight yourself and fight back against yourself, won't it become yourself beating yourself again? And then fight back against yourself? ... That would be an infinite loop and self-mutilation to death, thinking of this, Xia Zuo couldn't help but shudder.
Out of the inquisitive mind cultivated from the past to the present, and always believing in "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent", Xia Zuo felt the need to figure it out.
Open the backpack bar and take out a paper and quill inside. This is what I brought out of Rebecca's house yesterday when I left the house to look for the buff potion materials, and in this world where there is no mobile phone notepad to use, it is more convenient to have something to record in hand.
Picking up the pen, Xia Zuo tried his best to recall all the things he had encountered before, selected representative events, and wrote them down separately:
1. Attacked by the enemy - will dodge, will counterattack
2. Accidentally hit by Zhai Erfu - will dodge, do not fight back
3. Accidentally mix the left foot with the right foot - don't dodge, you will fight back
4. Reluctance to fall after mixing the left foot with the right foot - will dodge, do not fight back
5. Voluntarily hit the tree - no dodge, no counterattack (the same goes for voluntary slaps)
6. Shoot a mosquito on your face (it will hit yourself with a heavier one by the way) - it will dodge and not fight back
Xia Zuo finished writing in a crooked font, feeling that he hadn't held a pen for a long time, and Holf's Huo had written it wrong.
"Sure enough, it's not good to only use the keyboard pinyin for a long time.,Hey... Who let all the homework not be handwritten in college..."Xia Zuo complained to himself.
Then take a closer look at the entries and think about the similarities and differences.
β... I remember assuming that when I was almost hit by Uncle Blacksmith, I didn't fight back, probably because the other party was not hostile... Enmity? Xia Zuo's eyes widened, and he seemed to have some eyebrows, "Yes~, that mosquito, it is hostile!" β
"If I just slap myself, my body won't stop it, but without the needle, the harmless mosquito will get involved, and if I slap myself again, it won't be a simple slap... It's because of the mosquito's behavior, which prompted the slap, and the mosquito was hostile, which is considered to be caused by "hostility"..."
While descripting, Xia Zuo wrote a sketch in the blank part by the way, drawing arrows.
"To sum up the assumption this time, as long as it is caused by the "hostility" of the other party, the automatic dodge will be triggered, even if it is triggered by my action..."
Although he also remembered it in his mind, Xia Zuo still felt that this was a precious piece of paper, folded it in half and put it back in his bag for safekeeping, maybe he would never open it again like the notes taken from classes and meetings.
"Ah~ It's much more enjoyable to figure it out, although it's all my rough assumption," Xia Zuo habitually stretched his waist, "But automatic dodging and counterattacking will actually work on a creature as small as a mosquito, it's incredible..."
"Wait a minute..."
Xia Zuo seemed to have found something worth tangling with, and his suddenly enlightened expression was solemn again.
"If they react to mosquitoes, what about creatures that are smaller than mosquitoes? Like viruses, bacteria, or something? These little ones that can make me cold and sick, how can I dodge them..."
Cheerfulness and anxiety always alternate.
"Oh yes, from the point of view of the need to eat and drink, I'm now a game character, and the control character of this game is not set to catch a cold and get sick, maybe I'm a person who won't get sick... Is it necessary to change back to the people of the original world? Then I may be a few decades old, like the general public, and I will inevitably get cancer... Well... This is a bit far to think, maybe you will not be able to stay in this dangerous situation before you are thirty years old, at least the original world is still a safe place. β
ββββββββββ
Rewind to two minutes ago, when the main army led by Scar and Goblin Archers had just arrived in the Birch Grove.
Receiving the black mouse released by the Goblin King, Scar understands the meaning - stand still and wait for the king's next order.
"Didn't the king mean to let us stay?" The goblin archer, who was on the left, asked respectfully.
"Yes, but the leaders should make dynamic adjustments, we can sneak into the forest first, and when the king's new orders come, we can attack the village in one fell swoop, instead of receiving new orders outside the woods and being slow to be hindered by these damn logs." Scar said politely.
Behind them was the main force of goblins, numbering about seven hundredβsix centurions and the rest of the ordinary goblins.
The usually hideous and restless goblin minions are particularly quiet at the moment, tiptoeing forward, making small noises when they gently step on broken branches and broken dead leaves.
They were all at the behest of Commander Scar, and they were to be quiet at this moment, so that the Terrans could not find out.
The march would stop after a few steps, Scar sniffing his thick nostrils, there was no Terran scent nearby.
Unlike the Goblin Shaman, who senses the Terran's magical breath, Scar's sniffing breath is completely Terran's body odor - compared to sensing magic, this is very fast, and it won't miss even the Terrans with low mana value, because body odor is something that most animals have.
"Sniff~sniff" Scar's nostrils moved again.
"No one, keep going." It gave a soft order, and its subordinates moved forward in its footsteps.
until
"Smack~!"
A crisp slap was heard from high overhead.
Well!? Scar and the archer looked up suddenly, because neither of them sensed that there was someone in the tree, and the march was discovered!?
