Chapter Forty-Eight: The King of the Gnolls!
The influence of the cultivation of the Eastern Realm on melee professionals is profound.
Not to mention the advanced class [Juggernaut] that has been most influenced by the Eastern Country, it is just that many of the skills mastered by the Wanderer have been influenced by the Eastern Country, such as the training of intuitive evasion, the mastery of flexible movement, and the top skill of the legendary Wanderer [Shadow Walk], this ability has a great similarity to the Warrior Monk's [Shadow Trail]. The Legendary Warrior Monk can also jump through the shadows when casting [Shadow Trail], and the effect is roughly equivalent to the wizard's short-range flickering spell.
A melee class can also flash and teleport, and the effect is quite terrifying!
Not to mention that the warrior monk is known for being good at ultra-close combat.
Once the warrior monk whose specialty is [Quick Strike] closes enough distance, even the reaction speed of the wanderer cannot keep up.
Night falls.
The team that had been on the road for a day stopped for a moment, and the traces left behind were suddenly cut off here, and the warrior monk who led the team had just dispersed the forest rangers to look for traces.
A ranger is actually a ranger.
There are some differences in the names of professionals in various places, and in the southern part of the mainland, rangers are more followers who serve the gods. In the Eastern Realm, there are not many beliefs in the gods, and the rangers here are more similar to druids, most of them are close to animals, protect nature, and help lost travelers. Rangers are able to determine whether or not they are likely to comprehend magic based on their own perceptions, and they are a group of people who are good at tracking, and they are the only ones who can easily track down clues in the wilderness.
The cicada found a clean stone and sat cross-legged.
The puppeteer wanted to come over and talk again, but the girl glared at him and immediately flinched.
Everyone in the team was busy, and soon a bonfire was raised, and the two warriors were chatting around the fire because of itchy hands. Cicada lost interest after a few glances, the training skills of a fighter were too crude for a master of boxing like her. He was completely focused on the mastery of the physical body, and did not pay any attention to his inner and spiritual strength. The vitality of the warriors is very tenacious, and the training of the flesh on weekdays makes them all rough and thick-skinned. The vitality is more than two or three times that of other professions.
The cicada begins to breathe, adjusts its mood to its heartbeat, and then sinks into its inner perception.
It's a meditation method.
The difference is that shamans improve their spirits more through meditation, priests perceive the glory of the gods through meditation, druids feel the nature outside through meditation, and warrior monks perceive their inner self through meditation.
Meditation requires foundation.
Either the intelligence is enough, or the perception is enough, and it is difficult for attributes below 12 points to enter the scope of meditation.
The two fighters quickly decided the winner.
The one who won seemed to be not satisfied, and couldn't help but look at the cicada, where a young man was also sitting cross-legged. The difference is that he holds a straight-edged knife in his hand.
This is a Juggernaut.
Juggernauts generally rarely attack, because their attacks are too fierce, and they don't wear armor themselves, which is a fighting style they learned from warrior monks, so their attacks are very similar to those of the fierce school warrior monks who cultivate [Vajra Body].
As if sensing the other party's gaze, the young man couldn't help but open his eyes.
Juggernauts also need to meditate, but they are more focused on the energy called 'qi', or the energy called 'ki' in the ancient language.
"You want to talk to me?"
The young Sword Master slowly opened his eyes, and slowly stood up after seeing the other party nodding.
Generally, the battle intent of the Sword Saint who can advance is very strong.
However, they also need to learn to exercise self-restraint like a warrior monk, and meditation like this is almost a daily routine for warrior monks, sword masters, and fist masters.
The cicada opened its eyes.
The Juggernaut was an outsider to her. It was the person who assisted the White Cloud Sect in his travels, and she had not seen this sword master make a move, so she was also quite curious about the strength of this sword master.
Even in the Eastern Realm, the percentage of people who can advance to the Sword Saint is not very large.
As the young man slowly stood up. The warrior on the opposite side also clenched his weapon nervously, Juggernaut's attack was notoriously ferocious, and he challenged the other party more in anticipation of understanding this power.
For many warriors who encounter bottlenecks, finding a way to advance to become a Juggernaut is the best path.
"Please."
The young Juggernaut clenched his straight-edged sword casually. Facing the nervous warrior in front of you, make a gesture that you invite first. The Sword Masters are born with a bearing, which is more due to the fact that they don't wear armor at all, and when they fight, they dance on the tip of their swords. Doesn't rely on armor to avoid damage like other melee classes.
Clang!
The expected battle didn't happen, and the fighters on the opposite side only held on for a few seconds before losing.
A total of three moves.
Flat chop.
Flat chop.
Lift your breath and slash!
The first two moves of the Sword Master were also tentative, and after the third move found that the other party was not his opponent at all, he directly shook the warrior's weapon with one move.
A professional who's just as ready to enter the legend as he is.
Cicada quickly realized that this was a sword saint who was preparing to break through the legendary realm, and he probably wanted to get some cultivation methods for his service to the White Cloud Sect.
Juggernaut focuses on the cultivation of 'Qi'.
For warrior monks, 'qi' is their most basic thing, and it is also the product of their inner self-perception.
The young Juggernaut turned his gaze to the cicada.
The people around him obviously sensed a sense of war, maybe for this sword master, in addition to the legendary warrior monk who led the team, only the cicada was worth fighting him.
So, the cicada stood up.
As a tall and slender girl, the cicada is much more dangerous than her appearance.
"Please."
Cicada folded her hands and made a gesture of please, she received the training method of a warrior monk since she was a child, and the boxing master was originally an extended profession of a warrior monk.
The young Juggernaut's eyes narrowed slightly.
Moment.
The sharp sword light slashed directly at the cicada in front of him, and the speed was faster than at the beginning, and the sword master did not use all his strength just now.
Juggernaut is known for his fast attack speed.
Unarmed attacks are the fastest for warrior monks, and when using weapons, no one can beat the Juggernaut.
In the face of the sword master's fierce blow, the cicada dodged sideways as if it had been expected, and slapped it out with a low shout.
- "Pierce the Palm!" ”
Clang.
The Sword Master, who was not wearing armor, did not dare to take the cicada's attack at all, and instantly blocked the opponent with the back of his sword. Obviously, this palm slapped on the back of the sword, but the young sword saint was shocked, and a trace of blood couldn't help but ooze from the corner of his mouth.
"Dark energy?"
"Infiltration?"
There was an exclamation all around, this kind of skill also needs to be mastered by a warrior monk at a high level, there are a large number of warrior monks in the Eastern Country, but many warrior monks are not talented enough to be like ordinary warriors. They all practiced the skills of quick strikes and unarmed strikes, and only when they were more talented could they learn the vajra body and the ethereal body.
The Sword Master's eyes were visibly solemn.
The Cicada's unarmed attack actually made a sound of metal colliding on the weapon, this ability is called 'Dou Qi Strike', and the Cicada's hands are already equivalent to at least a first-order transcendent weapon.
In other words.
The girl who looked weak in front of her could already catch the attack of the transcendent weapon with her bare hands.
The master of boxing is more focused on training in hand-to-hand attacks. Ordinary monks need to be able to train their hands into transcendent weapons at level 10, and they can only be strengthened to +2 transcendent weapons at level 13. However, the master of boxing can increase this ability by one level every two professional levels, and the cicada, as a high-level professional, has at least +3 extraordinary weapons on both hands.
Unbelievable.
A pair of fair-skinned and slender girl's hands are almost the same as +3 extraordinary weapons.
The cicadas did not stop attacking.
After a brief encounter, her stormy combos were already unleashed, and the Juggernaut was almost instantly suppressed by the frenzied attack frequency.
This is still the cicada's 'ethereal body' that has not been cultivated to the home.
The true ethereal body achieves a level of 19, compared to the level of 17 for the 'vajra body'.
Juggernaut began to retreat.
The cicada didn't give him any chance at all, it was completely a one-sided suppressive effect.
But.
Just after the Sword Master was forced back seven or eight steps in a row, a glimmer of light suddenly burst out in his eyes, and then he whispered to the girl in front of him, "Be careful!" ”
It was this moment!
The tide was turned in an instant. The attack of the Sword Master suddenly became extremely ferocious, and the straight-edged knife had turned into an afterimage, and when the blade was swung, it even formed an invisible sword wind, making people who were too close around feel that the sword wind was cutting people. Some even have a red mark on their skin.
This moment.
Outside the woods close to them, Sauron, who was hiding in the shadows and casually looking, also stared at him and muttered, "Whirlwind Attack!?" ”
The Great Whirlwind's front-loading combat skills.
This kind of attack Sauron can also be used, and the Juggernaut in front of him can use it. In a data-based way, it means that he has obtained at least one information prompt of the 'Great Whirlwind'.
This Juggernaut has private goods!
Sauron was very suspicious that the other party had been instructed by a legendary professional who had mastered the Great Whirlwind, or that he had mastered the method of cultivating the Great Whirlwind. Sauron had been informed of the Great Whirlwind. If there is an orthodox training method, it is only a matter of time before he masters the fighting skills of the Great Whirlwind.
The other side.
After being forced away by the Sword Master's attack, Cicada directly withdrew his hand and retreated, and said slowly: "I lost." ”
The other party was obviously merciful, otherwise the moment the whirlwind attack broke out would be enough to kill her, because the speed was too fast.
She looked away.
The other party not only wants to enter the legendary realm, but has already touched the threshold of the legendary realm.
Master of Fist vs. Juggernaut.
If you lose the lead, you have already lost, and there is no need to continue fighting.
The expressions of the companions around him who looked at the Sword Master were obviously full of amazement and admiration, and some even wanted to go up to Lala Guan to see if they could learn some of the Sword Master's skills.
At this time, the cicada couldn't help but turn her head to look at the trees in the distance, and she always felt that someone was watching her.
Night falls.
Everyone else rested for the ranger's return, and the cicada resumed meditation, but still kept aware of the outside world.
She looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.
But her real age is already twenty-one years old, and the warrior monk has a level 17 ability called the immortal body, and when this ability is cultivated, the warrior monk's body will stop aging. Although this does not prolong the life of the monk, the monk can guarantee that his condition will not continue to age until he dies of old age.
The appearance of the cicada is due to the influence of this ability.
She took the cultivation route of [Ethereal Body], and the cultivation of contacting the immortal body was relatively early, so she had stopped aging at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and although she had grown a lot taller, her face had not changed. If she can go further, she can use the ability of her ageless body to keep herself at its peak, and her physical condition will remain around twenty years old until the day she dies of old age.
………………
The other side.
Sauron couldn't help but fall into deep thought, the technique used by the Juggernaut just now was obviously using the energy of 'KI'.
As a wanderer, Sauron does not have this ability, unless he is also a part-time first-level warrior monk or a sword master, with Sauron's current conditions, a part-time sword master can also be done, but this requires the punishment of killing experience to be very difficult. Because he has a wizard class level, with the help of advanced acceleration and the effect of divine power, Sauron can also simulate similar combat abilities. Divine power is a power far beyond mortal things, and if he can figure out the key, maybe he can try to master it in other ways.
But.
Here's a more troublesome question.
That is, Sauron will not 'lift the qi slash' at all, even from the perspective of a layman, he can see that the outbreak of the sword master just now was completely completed by relying on the qi lifting slash.
He needed to talk to the Juggernaut.
Moreover, Sauron himself has also received the information boost of the Great Whirlwind, and both sides may be able to gain something from each other.
The night is getting darker.
Just as Sauron was considering how to approach the group, there was a sudden disturbance in the distance.
Immediately after that, the legendary warrior monk led by him stood up, shouted at the others, and hurried over. The others also set off to chase after them, and it seemed that the rangers who had dispersed had already spotted them.
Sauron quickly chased after him.
The warrior monk immediately found a corpse after passing through a forest, he looked at it slightly, and immediately frowned: "Gnoll!?" ”
It was the same ranger he had sent out.
The ranger was accompanied by two high-ranking warrior monks, but there were no bodies nearby. The deceased's chest was torn open with great force, and it was a clear claw mark, and gray hairs remained on the deceased's weapon.
It's not like a human handiwork.
"Let's go!"
"I'm afraid our spies have been discovered! They are dangerous now! ”
The legendary warrior monk rushed out first, followed by Cicada and the young Sword Master. Sauron also followed a few minutes later, he glanced at the traces around him, frowned, and said, "Abyssal Gnoll!?" ”
King of the Gnolls - Yenogu!
This powerful Abyss Lord has been looking for the artifact [Time Flails], and although he already has a +3 Artifact Flail himself, he has not given up on finding a more powerful artifact Time Flails for hundreds of years. There was a trace of abyssal aura on the corpse, which ordinary people might not feel yet, but as a god, Sauron could perceive even more.
It's the Abyssal Gnoll who does it!
Moreover, it is still a very dangerous high-level gnoll assassin, and it is possible that he was teleported directly from the bottomless abyss.
