In order to avoid the poison ivy nest, the two made a detour, but soon Tu Shi regretted making this decision. This trip was a mountain road, the ground was rugged, and many times he had to help carry the cart over the hurdles, which made him miserable. It took a whole day to walk for half a day, and it was getting dark.

Almost down to the foot of the mountain, Tu Shi found that the refresh rate of poison ivy began to change, and he was immediately interested. He used his [Eyes] to look and saw several poison ivy crawling in front of him. It's normal for one or two poison ivy to be alone, but so many of them are gathered together, it is definitely not alone, and the nest must be not far away.

He asked Bao Jiwan, "Didn't we bypass their lair?" Why is there also here? ”

Bao Jiwan was also at a loss: "How do I know, I'm just a businessman." ”

Poison ivy: (omitted) living in groups, led by the queen of insects, and the colony will divide into groups every time it grows to a certain point. (omitted)

Tu Shi recalled the description of poison ivy, could it be that poison ivy just happened to be grouped?

"I don't care, I'll be crazy if I take another detour! You stay here. ”

Tu Shi drew his sword in his hand and walked towards the poison ivy group step by step. It was hard to stop the season because it was getting late, and they had to get to the next village as fast as they could, and they must not spend the night in the wilderness. All he could do was silently pray for Tu Shi.

The social poison ivy is small, and has not evolved intelligence and longevity, and is not as fierce as the solitary poison ivy, but why would the overlord spider that was tossed into a nomadic type by the nematode choose to attack the field of the burrow instead of the plain of the hive? Quite simply, because it doesn't want to die. Although the poison ivy in the Cave Cave Field is fierce, they all live alone and can be broken one by one, while the poison ivy in the Worm Hive Plain lives in groups, accumulating sand into towers, and even the natural enemy of poison ivy, the overlord spider, cannot parry.

When Tu Shi gradually approached, several poison ivy did not know how to communicate, and then pounced in unison, their movements neatly like an army. At the same time, poison ivy appeared one after another on the ground nearby, and there were thirty of them in a rough count!

Bao Jiwan's soul was frightened, and he couldn't help hugging the horse's neck.

………………

At the first vigil in the novice village......

Tu Shi noticed that the villagers did not directly pick up the edge of the boar, but all of them were a dexterous side dodge when the boar was about to approach, not only to avoid the unreasonable collision, but also to use the weapon in their hands to greet the boar, and there was a board and an eye between advance and retreat.

………………

Poison ivy is almost the same size as a boar, so Tu Shi naturally recalled the experience of fighting a boar in the novice village, and it was this experience that allowed him to skillfully dodge the big toad, the monster in the last level of the novice village.

So, can this experience be used to deal with poison ivy?

The first poison ivy approached. It only serves as a retraction, and the tails of the other poison ivy are poised to strike, and those are the real killer moves. The bugs have low IQs, so in turn it means that this tactic has nothing to do with IQ, but is imprinted into their instincts.

When Poison Ivy was about to bite his calf, Tu Shi took a step back, dodged with the smallest movement, and the sword in his hand slashed at Poison Ivy's brain at will, easily and unreasonably smashing into most of it.

Three poisonous hooks whizzed around their tails, waiting for this moment!

Bao Jiwan screams!

Then Tu Shi took another step sideways, flashed the long tail, and the range of action was still not large! He reacts before attacking every time, the advantage is that the enemy doesn't have time to change his moves, and the disadvantage is that every dodge is risking his life! It's like dancing on a blade, and if you're not careful, you'll never recover!

Damn, take a step slower!

Just walked 0.5 seconds slower, seeing that the poisonous hook was about to be pierced on the leg, Tu Shi [shrunk into inches] at the last moment, and the danger flashed again, and at the same time, the "internal injury" state was triggered, and the chest hurt like a pinprick. He shouted in his heart that it was dangerous, and quickly calmed down and resumed the rhythm just now. Dodge, Attack, Dodge, Attack...... If you can't dodge, use skills. As long as he hits a [Paralysis Toxin], he will die on the spot, so he must dodge all attacks. He didn't even open the [Cang Pupil], everything had to be predicted by the naked eye, and he was completely squeezing his reflexes.

Doesn't "dodging with minimal movements" sound a bit cool? In some film and television works that pretend to be forced (and action movies are even worse), the protagonist can stand and hide and never walk and hide, and he can walk and hide without jumping and dodging, calmly and calmly, as if all attacks are helpless against him, which is really the extreme of pretending. However, this is another way of saying it in the game: reducing redundant operations.

In parkour games, for example, the player controls a character who runs all the time, and there are only four command buttons that can be used, up (jump), down (roll), left, and right, and the player has to use these four keys (some parkour games even have only jump and roll) to dodge obstacles and get power-ups. You only need to press one or two keys every time you encounter a situation, which is to reduce redundant operations.

Parkour games are one thing, other games are another, and it's impossible to completely dodge enemy attacks in other games, right? There must be times when you are careless, right? There must be times when your hands are shaking, right? However, it is actually possible to dodge completely, as many games have an achievement called "Clear without Damage".

Tu Shi, who is so stingy that he never relies on props, happens to be a master of "clearing the customs without injury".

Tu Shi can't use his true qi indiscriminately, which is almost equivalent to having no true qi, which is almost equivalent to banning skills. All he does is "Normal Evasion" and "Normal Attack". Ordinary dodge has two more options than parkour games, front and back, and the attack is undoubtedly "nine mouths and eight methods". Thinking of this, he felt very unlucky, even if he didn't have attack skills, he couldn't even use skills now, was there a difference between him and a novice?

When Tu Shi's sword blade hung down to the ground, all the poison ivy turned into corpses, green juice was everywhere, and even Tu Shi was dyed green. He came back with the stench of poison ivy, and the horse almost fled in frightβ€”the beast knew what not to mess with.

"Hey, do you have a towel?" Tu Shi was tired, sat on the cart, didn't see Bao Jiwan hand over the towel for a long time, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?" Am I scary to look at me with such eyes? ”

Bao Jiwan nodded stunned.

Tu Shi pouted. The newbie village boss - Toad King also said the same. Tu Shi asked why it was finally willing to surrender, and it said that it was because it felt that Tu Shi was terrible, especially Tu Shi's eyes that never wavered or flinched, which were terrible.

A man with a broken left hand, ribs, or even a sword keeps getting up and fighting, but it's not a big deal.

Tu Shi wiped his face slightly, and then carefully wiped his hands and "carved boats". This is really a sword, and it has not been damaged by slashing so many poison ivy in a row, but it emits a breathtaking blue light, as if it can devour the vitality of the souls under the sword. After grabbing the hilt of his sword a few times and making sure that it would not slip, he threw his arms back to the battlefield: "Wait for me a while, I'll go see the queen worm!" ”

The entrance to the hive has been exposed. Tu Shi is also a master of art and bold, and he went into the cave alone. Now that the sun is going down, it may be dangerous for Bao Ji to stay on the mountain late, so Tu Shi [Cangtong] is fully open, and he must fight quickly. Sure enough, there were fish in the nest that slipped through the net, and poison ivy attacked either from front or from behind, and Tu Shi could only attack and defend in a half-crouching position, and could hardly dodge. By the time he walked out of the long corridor, he was covered in mucus again.

He came to a space the size of a school auditorium.

He saw a mass of slippery-tender white flesh the size of an elementary school bus, and at the end of the white flesh was a poison ivy that struggled helplessly, presumably the queen of worms.

Poison Ivy Queen: Level 18. Poison ivy (insects). Lead poison ivy. It can secrete a special pheromone, which makes all poison ivy around it lose its reproductive ability, and can also stop the mutation of poison ivy after cannibalism. Although it stands at the apex of the poison ivy group, it is actually very weak, and to put it bluntly, it is just a fertility machine. Living in a dark cave, vision has long since deteriorated. Everything eaten is semi-digestible from other poison ivy. Good at skill [Poison Ivy Military Force]. Poison ivy within 50 meters of you gains [Iron Will].

The queen is surrounded by a dozen poison ivy, which are curled with oval, milky eggs with their long tails, and are busily sent to other places. As soon as Tu Shi's uninvited guest arrived, the delivery room suddenly exploded, and poison ivy gushed out from all the corridors. Tu Shi, who has accumulated a lot of care, just scans the audience with his [Cangtong], and knows that dodging from any angle will be blocked, the form is grim, and life and death hang by a thread.

Then ......

Before being completely enveloped by the sound of Si Suosuo's crawling, he took out the medicine bottle, poured a pill in his hand, slapped it into his mouth, and tasted the juice of poison ivy by the way.

Then you can only come to the hard one.

Outside.

Bao Jiwan was frightened, and suddenly heard a faint call: "Pull, pull me ......"

He ran to the entrance of the cave and saw Tu Shi with his face up, his heart was worried, and he asked in a trembling voice: "You, what is your name?" "This is the most basic test method, if it is poison ivy covered in human skin, you will definitely not know the name of the deceased.

"Damn, it's me, Yu Qingfeng!" Tu Shi was already weak, so he yelled angrily, and then couldn't help laughing. I thought that I was outside and Bao Jiwan was in the cave, but I didn't expect feng shui to take turns, and the two of them switched positions so quickly.

Bao Jiwan hurriedly dragged Tu Shi out of the hole and found that Tu Shi's ten fingers were full of blood. Tu Shi grinned: "My leg is paralyzed, I crawled back." Help me see if my sword is still there? ”

"Let's see if your life is still alive first!"

"Haha, my fault, my fault, this time it was really big, and I almost died in it hahaha. Thankfully, this group is small. "The poison ivy of the guard insect queen is too crazy, somehow, even though her body has been split in half, she can still bite Tu Shi's leg with all her might, it is simply a willpower of steel. And the queen of insects can also use the [Poison Ivy Army] to continuously lay eggs and give birth to poison ivy, forcing Tu Shi to consume two pills, which has exceeded the budget.

Bao Jiwan showed the "carved boat" to Tu Shi, and said angrily: "Oh, now rest assured!" Let's hurry away, you're all like this, if poison ivy catches up with us, we'll be dead. ”

"It's okay, I'll kill all this group of poison ivy, and there won't be any bugs chasing after me." Tu Shi smirked.

"Don't lie to me!" Bao Jiwan carried Tu Shi and walked to the cart with difficulty.

"Really, we're all done to get rid of evil!"

"Okay, okay, just keep bragging!"

Tu Shi was thrown onto the cart, facing the sky on his back, looking at the endless night sky, tired and full, just wanting to sleep well. He suddenly remembered that there should still be unhatched eggs in the cave, but he ignored them when he was exhausted, so he didn't really cut the grass and eradicate the roots...... Forget it, don't be too yourself.
