Chapter 3: The Sword and the Shield

Along the wilderness path, the three of them walked all the way. The level of the monster in the wild is level 35~40, and even the link of reconnaissance is omitted, and Feng Ruge taunts all the way, followed by Xingshen's vertical and horizontal sword qi. Virgo is much more leisurely, picking up fallen copper coins and equipment, occasionally sending kindness to Xingshen and Feng Ruge to brush up on a treatment, and proofreading the direction of travel. The rest of the time is spent eating snacks and looking at the scenery.

After traveling about three hours in the game. The three of them begin to encounter humanoid monsters: the Bandit Ranger and the Bandit Ranger. The speed of propulsion was suddenly blocked. Virgo put away the snacks: "According to the marks on the map, we are already close to the cottage." Did you discover anything along the way? ”

"All the way? The monsters are too weak to cut me at all. "The wind is like a song, full of confidence.

"Then why don't you just attract a bunch of monsters now, only attract up to four at a time, it's a complete waste of my group injury skills......" Xing Shen said sarcastically.

"......" is like a song, "The skills of this bandit ranger are disgusting, and they are dizzy and burning......"

"Come on, I know that you only know how to fight monsters." Virgo interrupted Feng Ruge, "Shi Yu left us a mark. ”

"Oh?!"

"But that's the end of it. We'll have to find clues. The top priority is to rendezvous with Shi Yu first. ”

"Well, there's the sound of water over there, let's go check it out first?" Xingchen proposed.

But he didn't expect Shi Yu to ponder by the river, and when he saw them, his face was full of surprise, "Why are you here too?" ”

"Let's help you find Fang Xiaoxian." Virgo answers.

Shi Yu was not surprised that they knew about Fang Xiaoxian's disappearance. "I've followed it all the way here. The terrain of this cottage is difficult to defend and difficult to attack, and it is well guarded. There seems to be no better way than to storm it. ”

"So, you've already been to the front to scout the camp? Can you find out how many bandits are in the camp, and what is the situation of preparedness? Virgo asked, as if he didn't mean to stop.

"There are more than 200 thieves in the cottage, and I don't know the situation of the guards." Shi Yu replied.

"Do you know where Fang Xiaoxian is being held?" Virgo continued to ask.

"Hmm...... Weapons storehouse. She was temporarily held there. Shi Yu was slightly speechless.

"Good." Virgo's meaningful tone makes the wind like a song strange.

"Wife, are you okay?" Feng Ruge asked with concern.

"She's fine." Xing Shen snatched the words, "Shi Yu, then what do you say now?" ”

"Let's attack a wave first, if we can rush into the walled gate, it's easy to say. If we can't attack it for a while, let's think of another way. ”

"That's good. I opened the way with Feng Ruge, and the treatment followed. Shi Yu you broke off. "Xingshen simply assigns personnel.

With the addition of Shi Yu's long-range firepower, it was much easier to clear the monster.

The gate of a cottage lined with arrow towers was close in front of him, and Feng Ruge, who was rushing to the front, had already entered the range of the bandit archers. The amount of blood began to drop suddenly, and Virgo immediately moved forward, and a rejuvenation technique had begun.

The abnormal protrusion, the stone feather that was suppressed remotely at the rear, suddenly aimed the crosshair of the longbow at the constellation Virgo, and a little cold light came in an instant. "Knock" - the stars are falling! A ball of light smashed down beside Virgo, and the dark arrow was also bounced away

'Block...' The wind in the distance also rushed back from a distance with a charge, and he especially thought that he was not fast enough: "Boy, this is the moment you are waiting for!" A shield slammed his head and covered his face, and smashed it into Shi Yu.

"Shi Yu" didn't expect everyone to react so quickly, and was dizzy by the big shield smashed by Feng Ruge. The poor "Shi Yu" BOSS turned out to be a high-attack and high-sensitivity profession that was good at sneak attacks, but at this moment he had to fight a frontal offensive and defensive battle, and he was cleared by the classic combination of the three of them when he had no power to fight back.

As the colorful bubbles rose, a pleasant system voice sounded, "Congratulations on passing the first level: the trap." Class mission completion: 26%. ”

"Blue bracers, I put them on myself." Virgo has already started cleaning up the loot.

"Well, it seems that there are still three bosses to kill in this mission." Xingshen makes inferences based on the completion of the mission.

"Not necessarily." Virgo retorted.

It just so happens that there is a flying pigeon who loves you even more, and the book "The maze has been broken." Tranquility and I found Fang Xiaoxian. Now that you are ready to return to Wild Goose Village to guard against the upcoming bandit invasion, you three need to be careful. It seems that your way is the main line. Fang Xiaoxian's disappearance was just a trap, and the person who set this trap must be a formation master. ”

At the same time, there is also a prompt sound of the system: the completion of the task - 50%, and then enter the final stage of the mission: Sword and Shield - Protect Guiyan Village and remove the threat of the robber cottage. Note: This task is an additional subtask. As long as you hold Guiyan Village within the countdown to successfully transfer jobs, the higher the completion of the task, the more generous the reward, the countdown to the bandit invasion: 2 hours, the arrival time of reinforcements: 26 hours.

"Explain, when did you find out that this 'Stone Feather' was fake?" Feng Ruge asked.

"Because the previous mark is broken. This 'stone feather' was clouded by the stars, and he didn't know anything about the mark. ”

"Oh~ Then where did Shi Yu really go now?"

"I don't know, do you have any clues?" Virgo turned his head and asked like a star.

"Without long-range fire suppression, it is more difficult for us to attack head-on. The fake Shi Yu said that there was no other way than a frontal attack, obviously just to trick us into going to the gate where the defensive forces were most concentrated. Since there will be robbers invading Guiyan Village, it is definitely impossible for the cottage robbers left here to handle it properly. When I went to the water's edge just now, it wasn't Meng, but I guessed that there should also be a waterway in the cottage, and we should be able to find another entrance with relatively weak defenses if we go upstream. Xingshen's reasoning apparently convinced the others.

The three of them returned to the place where they first encountered the fake stone feather, and went up along the current, and after about a quarter of an hour, they saw another entrance to the cottage, which was already northwest of the cottage, and there were only two guards on the surface.

Feng Ruge did not rush forward, but threw a few stones from a distance. Draw two guards out of the back door. Then Xing Shen rushed in first. A dark sentry turned around and wanted to warn, but was wiped on the neck by Xingshen a few times. At the same time, Feng Ruge and Virgo also solved the two thieves who were guarding the door and rushed over.

"Luck won't be so good, right?" Virgo stared in amazement at the room in front of him with several weapon racks full of blades.

"Arsenal." Feng Ru Song, "That fake Shi Yu lied to us that Fang Xiaoxian was locked up here, but now Fang Xiaoxian has been found back by Jiang Shan and Tranquility." Is there anyone else here? ”

"Have you forgotten who we're looking for?" Virgo jumped all the way to open the door to the arsenal. "Ahem...... How did you guys get here? Shi Yu's weak voice came.

Shi Yu was tied to the pillar of the room, and seemed to be slightly injured.

Xing Shen slashed out in the distance, and Shi Yu's rope broke in response.

"Successfully rescued Shi Yu, and the mission completion rate increased to 60%."

"Thank you." Shi Yu patted the dust on his body and loosened his wrist. Then he thanked him: "I've fallen into a trap." When you left the village, was the village all right? ”

"We also have two team-mates in the village. Fang Xiaoxian had also returned to the village safely. Xingshen relieved Shi Yu's worries.

"Thanks to a few. I was deliberately led to the cottage before. Since the village and the little fairy are safe and sound, and there are all the young heroes to help, they simply don't do anything. Let's go to this gang of bandits for an explanation, what do you think? ”

Feng Ruge applauded and laughed: "If this bandit robs and oppresses the old and weak on weekdays, it will be natural for us to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots." ”

"It's not far from the cottage hall. Let's sneak over and capture the thief first! ”

"Good!" "Okay!"

Obviously, Shi Yu has been to the cottage many times before and knows the layout of the cottage well. Under his leadership, several people soon came to the outside of the cottage hall. Before I went in, I heard a "bang" like thunder.

"Phew! Those sneaky thieves. Your Grandpa Hammer is practicing martial arts here! A huge black man shouted in the martial arts arena not far away. The loud bang just now was the sound of a pair of giant hammers colliding in his hands.

"The raid was successful. Successfully avoid the elite guards of the boss and go straight to the boss fight. ”

"This is the cottage boss Brute Hammer here. Born with divine power, don't be careless. Shi Yu reminded. But when he saw that the wind was like a song, he was already a tiger leaping towards the brute hammer.

The hammer is two feet tall, and its dark muscles glisten in the sun. When he saw that the wind was like a song and a shield, he didn't say anything. Throw out the small hammer in his hand. The wind was like a song and was so frightened that he could only raise his shield with both hands to block it. It was as if it had been struck by a comet, and the wind that had always been like a tank was smashed back several meters. The mouth of the tiger was cracked, and his ears were buzzing: "It's so amazing, I'm about to be deaf." ”

"Haha~!" Others were amused by his embarrassed appearance.

But the big hammer of the brute hammer has a chain. With a pull in his hand, the left hammer was retracted, and the right hammer was thrown again. Feng Ruge was prepared this time, and the shield was inserted into the ground half a foot, half kneeling and half squatting, a standard defensive posture. The hammer smashed into the shield and the dust flew up. Although Feng Ruge is prepared, the boss's move is called "Meteor Catching the Moon", and this second hammer is the real killing move, and the power is even more powerful than the first one. Feng Ruge was smashed back three steps with his shield, and the shield ploughed a deep groove in the ground, and it was so durable that it even had a thin crack. But I saw that the others had already arrived.

Shi Yu's arrow was the fastest, and it shot at the face of the brute hammer, but it was knocked away by the brute hammer with the retracted left hammer, and then Xing Shen also rushed towards the brute hammer with his sword, and a rejuvenation technique of Virgo pulled down the blood volume of the wind like a song.

Feng Ruge launched a ruthless attack, put away the shield and got up and dragged the boss, because the right hammer that the others had not had time to retract because of parrying, a horse step steady.

The hammer dragged the chain and wanted to retract the right hammer, but he found that he couldn't pull it all of a sudden, and found that he couldn't pull it all of a sudden, so he dragged it with both hands. The wind was dragged like a song, but it didn't let go. Shi Yu and Xing Shen were not idle, and the hidden weapon blades beckoned together. The hammer had no choice but to swing the left hammer with one hand to parry and fight back. He cried out angrily: "You despicable villains, you have the ability to fight with the brute hammer in a dignified manner. The crowd just ignored them.

Although the wind is like a song, it greatly reduces the agility and threat of the brute hammer. Hammer's health bar has steadily and consistently dropped to around 40%.

It was getting darker and darker, and torches were already lit in the cottage.

The mission countdown shows that the bandits are already attacking the village.

A slender cloaked figure walked in from the night. "I didn't expect a group of juniors to dare to go deep into this place. What about the stone, is he old enough to hold a sword and shield? ”

As the stranger approached. Shi Yu's expression was very grim all of a sudden, and he saw a faint moonlight rise around him. Take out an arrow from your back and take all of them with a bow. Noticing that Shi Yu might want to magnify the move, Xingshen smashed a "Star Fall" at the brute hammer. Although the brute hammer, which was already close to the edge of rage, weakened the floating stun effect of Star Fall to a few tenths of a second, it was enough for Shi Yu alone. "Nine arrows!" A feather of an arrow flashed with silver light, and it rushed to the throat of the brute hammer.

"No β€”β€”!" All this happened so quickly that the mysterious man who pretended to be forced to appear only had time to be annoyed, when he saw the burly bandit leader Brute Hammer suddenly let go of the hammer in his hand, shook it twice in place, and then fell, stirring up countless flying dust. The crimson blood glistened in the light of the fire.

"Task completion rate increased to 80%" system prompt.

Shi Yu, who had just broken out and took away 40% of the Brute Hammer's HP, was not having a good time, and he was much more depressed all of a sudden, and even his body was a little staggering.

"Good, good. Sure enough, he is worthy of being the son of the stone, and he is worthy of being the son of the 'mountain'. "The mysterious man is like a madman." The trap I painstakingly designed was destroyed like this by you, and now the only way to get rid of you is to solve the hatred in my heart! ”

Shi Yu's glow, which had just dimmed, shone again: "Do you know my father?" Are you an alien? ”

"Haha, don't just know, in the seventeenth year, our clan's unborn 'flame' general, Gongsun Jue, led an iron cavalry to sweep through Mobei and open up our clan's territory to an unprecedented boundary." General Flame swore an oath under the sacred mountain of the tribe to expand the territory of four thousand miles in all directions. There are three sides, east, west and north, and you don't intend to die on the way south, could it be that your father never mentioned to you the blood debt he owed to the Gongsun family? ”

"I heard my father mention the name of Gongsun Jue when I was young, General Gongsun is his lifelong enemy, and he is a man who is extremely down, General Gongsun wants to open up the territory, but my father wants to protect the territory and the people, how can there be blood debts for life and death on the battlefield?" Although Shi Yu is young, the truth is not ambiguous at all.

"I wonder who Your Excellency is?" Xingshen also interjected.

"I am Gongsun Jue's younger brother Gongsun Jin, my brother is in the prime of life, I am studying abroad, and I am unwilling to say goodbye when I am young." The man in black, Gongsun Jin, said hatefully, "I wanted to find a stone to seek revenge, but after the peak battle of the year, he has already reached the realm of martial arts, although he looks disabled, but in fact, his strength is unfathomable, so in desperation, he set up a series of schemes, wanting to lure the stone forward, but I didn't expect to be ruined by you, my good thing!" ”

"Big brother, you yourself said that Uncle Shi's strength is unfathomable, and you still seduce him over, do you want to follow your brother?" Virgo choked the boss.

"Poof~" Gongsun Jin spurted out a mouthful of old blood, "You girl looks so well-behaved and lovely, and she is so vicious when she speaks!" I have been studying for many years, and my attainments in the magic circle illusion realm are by no means in vain, so I can only fight with the stone if I first set up my home field. ”

"After all, you're still afraid of Uncle Stoneβ€”" Virgo refuses to give up.

"It's useless to talk too much! Tonight, I want the four of you to sacrifice to my brother, and I will go to the stone to ask for my life later. ”

Gongsun Jin pulled out a blood-colored long flag from behind the cloak, and inserted it into the center of the martial arts arena with a "whoosh", a blood-red light magic circle gradually lit up, the blood-colored battle flag danced without wind, and in the hunting roll, there was gradually a shouting of killing, and the neighing of war horses came out.

"All the ......" A passionate drum beat sounded, and as the war drums became louder and louder, the red light of the six-mangled magic circle became even worse, covering the heavens and the earth at once.
