Forest of the Dead.

The Moon Demon felt that Tu Shi was not self-sufficient, but Tu Shi didn't think so. Just as martial arts is a situational theory, winning or losing a battle with the Demon Thorn is not absolute, as long as the Demon Thorn is killed before the Demon Thorn kills himself. In short, it's a sneak attack.

Of course, this is easier said than done. The demons are generally powerful and have wild instincts, and it is a bit impractical to sneak up on them. But fortunately, the biggest feature of the thorn is that it has its own characteristics, for example, the mimic thorn that may be able to sit firmly on the throne of the first hunter in the dead corpse forest, its strength is mimicry, but it is almost useless except for mimicry, neither high defense, nor long health, and it is the best one to deal with from the data alone.

But "Qiankun" is virtual reality, not just about data, and mimicry is the first target that Tu Shi ruled out - it may be the most difficult to deal with. According to Master You, monsters know how to hide, and only monsters can exude demonic energy to show their existence; Since the mimic thorn wants to disguise itself, it has first learned to hide, which indirectly means that it is closer to the monster than any other thorn (one of the ways of survival of the monster is to disguise itself as a human and mingle in the crowd), even if only in terms of intelligence. Another problem has to do with the way the mimic thorn survives: it can wait patiently in one place for a long time, and in the process, it can know its surroundings well, and Tu Shi will be discovered by it before he can sneak attack.

In this case, it is still impossible for Tu Shi to kill any of the Demon Thorns?

No. Mimic Thorn inspired him.

If you want to sneak attack the Demon Thorn, you have to mimic yourself.

He found a baby web for a tyrannosaurus spider. The silk net was tattered, the silk threads were hanging around, and there was not a single little overlord spider, so it was thought that it was eaten as a snack by the demon thorn. Tu Shi walked to the middle of the net, swept a clearing under his feet with his sword, and then lay down. He first threw the corpses, fallen leaves, and dirt on his body until the lower half of his body was covered, and then held the long sword with his right hand and cut it into the palm of his left hand, which made him grin. The sword was really sharp, and it didn't take much effort to cut a large hole, and the blood kept flowing (losing 8 stamina). He then placed his right arm naturally against his trouser leg and continued to work with his left hand until his upper body was covered, leaving only his left arm and half of his nose outside.

According to Orion, this hand that smells of blood is the bait, and Tu Shi's whole person is the trap.

The blood from the wound was covered with dirt, and it hurt so much that it seemed to have hurt into the bones. And his chest was also pressed by the thick soil, which was very uncomfortable. There was always a strange sensation on the face that was also covered with dirt, whether it was an illusion or if there were really small bugs burrowing around in the soil......

Tu Shi calmed down and began to wait.

Remembering the North City, Yamen, Bao Lord's study.

Master Bao was sitting, and the head catcher and the master were standing. The sun poured in from the window and shone on Lord Bao.

"There is someone behind Lei Zhenyu, but it is not clear if it is Prince Ji. Inferred from his words, doesn't he want to set up his own door? Prince Bo? Prince Gang? Or ......" said Master Bao, habitually reaching out to touch the teacup, and then remembering the fact that "the teacup is broken", his face was even more depressed. He looked at his master and said in a cold tone: "What do you think?" ”

"Maybe it's the Lord of Thunder City who is suspicious, and his words can't be trusted. But he must have a purpose in trying to win over you, and did he tell him to do anything? The master hurriedly replied.

"Not at the moment, that's exactly what the suspicion is. If he is for Prince Ji, even if Prince Ji is not present, he should give me some benefits on behalf of Prince Ji before he can buy me; If he wasn't for Prince Ji, then why did he frame me? You must know that I am in the way to make Prince Ji uncomfortable. ”

Lord Bao asked and answered himself, and was shocked that the two of them were in a cold sweat. Not to mention Prince Ji, even the Lord of Lei City is not something they can provoke, but Lord Bao clearly doesn't take them too seriously.

And if Prince Ji instructed the Lord of Lei City to buy the officials of the imperial court, it would be undoubtedly a party for personal gain......

What's the point?

Where is the intention?

Needle drop can be heard indoors.

After a long time, the master dared to ask: "My lord, then do you promise him, or do you ......?"

"I'm just talking to him, after all, the situation is different now." Master Bao replied gloomily. "It's also a little self-defeating, in fact, I should have thought that he did something behind his back. I'm still too young, 'reactive power is great merit' is the experience of my ancestor in a lifetime of officialdom, but I can't understand it, look at the Lei City Lord, hum, I didn't do anything, but in the end I can benefit. ”

"Your Excellency is wise!"

"Hmph, if I were wise, I wouldn't have ended up like this!" Master Bao glared sharply.

The head catcher knew that the fart had slapped on the horseshoe, and he was sweating profusely at the moment and didn't dare to say more. The master hurriedly played a round: "So adults, are you still asking the family for help now?" ”

"Do you need to ask? There is someone behind him, and there is no one behind me? Only their own family members are the most reliable, outsiders, hehe. Master Bao glanced at Zhu Kuai and Master, meaning something, and then sighed heavily, suddenly feeling depressed: "I hope this matter will pass soon." ”

Remembering the North City, the City Lord's Mansion.

The Lord of Thunder City sits, and the steward stands. The shadow covered the Thunder City Lord, revealing only a pair of calloused hands.

"Although I am half an official, I sometimes really look down on officials. Those who are officials are like this, when they have merit, they keep it for themselves, and if something happens, they can't push it off. The surname Bao is not exempt from vulgarity, he wants to catch the monster to add a first-class to the evaluation, so that he can be transferred back to the DPRK, but he never thought that if he not only can't catch it, but also kill his subordinates, what will be the result of this year's evaluation? The Thunder City Lord smiled, "How can I help him?" Otherwise, why do you think I pretended to send a white jade chicken fir to the prince? I'm just going to sit on the sidelines and let him have no excuse to use our 100 private troops. ”

The steward bent down and praised: "If the prince's hundred private troops are out of the horse, it will be no problem for only monsters." ”

"Don't you know this truth? I made it clear that I didn't want to help him. He couldn't pull his face to beg me, so he simply started the idea of eating alone, but he didn't know that the most taboo thing in officialdom was eating alone, even if I was not on the same side as him. If you want to take the credit alone, you can, if someone is held accountable in the future, I can infer that he did not know about me. ”

The steward nodded: "Indeed, as the master expected, Bao Fengxue is now reaping the consequences." ”

"Well said, it's self-defeating! It's useless to be a scholar, these guys take everything for granted, and monsters are easy to deal with? Monsters are easy to deal with, what do you want Taoist monks to do? Speaking of which, Bao Fengxue has another mistake, and the mistake should not be capricious. Since he has asked Wang Yue to get rid of the demon, why did he change his hexagram halfway and have to do it himself? Didn't you overdo it before? The Lei City Lord smiled, and his tone calmed down: "But the Bao family is also a family of Pin, and more than a dozen lives are really nothing." Even if I invite him to the house for a showdown, he can completely regret it afterwards. This kind of person, 'Believe in him and be blind'! ”

The last sentence is a local proverb in Jingzhou, which means that someone's words should not be trusted at all.

The steward was a little unsure: "Then master, why do you want to have a showdown with him?" ”

"I'm going to be taken by surprise. I invited him suddenly, and his mind was in turmoil, and he hadn't figured it out for a while, so he naturally wouldn't act rashly. Now is the great opportunity, as long as I push him to the corner, it will be useless for him to figure it out afterwards. ”

"That's what the lord said. So, how do you drive it to a dead end? ”

"Quite simply, isn't he the most dependent on his family? When his family abandons him, I will pull him on behalf of the prince, and he will know who is the backer worthy of entrusting his life. And there is only one way for the Bao family to abandon Bao Fengxue...... It's that he is so ugly that his Bao family can't hide it! ”

The Lord of Thunder City twisted his two fingers, as if he was twisting an invisible chess piece.

"And this opportunity is right in front of you."

The Chengen Sword is a two-handed sword.

One of the major features of two-handed swords is that they are relatively large in size. The hilt is slightly longer, so it must be grasped with both hands, and the blade is half a foot longer, one finger wider, and half an inch thicker than ordinary swords. As far as Tu Shi knows, most of the army's standard weapons are knives rather than swords, first, because knives are cheap and can be mass-produced, second, because the training of swordsmen is easier than swordsmen, and third, because the sword body is thin and the blade is fragile, and it will suffer when fighting against armor. In any way, the sword should be eliminated by the sword.

However, it does not mean that there are no swords in the army, and two-handed swords are typical battlefield swords. However, Master Zuo didn't go too deep into this, and only said, "You don't go to the battlefield again, what kind of two-handed swords do you learn", probably hoping that Tu Shi could concentrate on the six fragment swords - they are all one-handed swords.

Now Tu Shi is holding a two-handed sword in his hand. It's okay to hold it in one hand, but if you want to dance with one hand, it's easy to lose your center of gravity by the sword body, so you have to use internal force.

Time passed little by little, and Tu Shi became familiar with the new sword little by little. Under the thick layer of mud, he imperceptibly raised his hand, put it down again, and repeatedly, so as to adjust the feel. Every slight tremor in his fingers will faithfully be transmitted to the sword. He was so distracted that he even forgot about his injured left hand and the outside world, as if there was only this sword left in heaven and earth. This is a mysterious and mysterious realm, and it is impossible to elaborate. He was not asleep, but he was not awake; He is physically in this world, but his mind is nowhere to be.

He rehearsed the next sword in his mind. Thorn, thorn, thorn...... Only one sword. Naturally, he didn't imagine the second sword, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't, because the first sword would be extremely violent, and there would be no return, just like Jing Ke's poor dagger - there was absolutely no second sword.

Suddenly, Tu Shi's heart moved. It was as if there was a ripple that spread at the speed of light, blurring the scene in his mind. He gathered his thoughts, feeling an unnatural tremor on the ground. The tremor came from a long distance, but it seemed to be extremely heavy, presumably with something heavy on the ground.

The tremor was getting closer and closer to Tu Shi, which made him feel more and more clearly—as if ripples were stacking on the shore. He suddenly felt a vague aura, like a spinning cursor, stronger when he turned this way, and weaker when he turned to other places. After a few spins, the aura remained at its strongest, and it was obvious that it was firmly locked on this side. In other words, that breath is aimed at oneself.

Tu Shi vaguely realized: that breath should be the so-called "murderous aura".
