Chapter 22: Daredevil's Girl
A corpse?
After reaching level 5 and learning [Balance Mastery], Rococo rushed back to the stone cliff platform area and was about to use her newly acquired sports shooting ability to brush the big boar more efficiently, but she didn't expect to find a slightly unexpected scene as soon as she came.
It was a young girl, because of the position of lying on her side, a medium-length shawl and black hair were a little messy and covered her face, so Rococo couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, but judging from the fact that even Rococo put the basic command observation mark in the system's field of vision on the other party but did not react, it is obvious that she has no life breath on her body, and she should be in a state of lying corpse.
The word "lying corpse" is used because the girl is wearing a simple and somewhat shabby female tight-fitting light armor outfit that is exactly the same as the initial equipment that Rococo originally set out when the player character appeared in Hieran Town, and it is clear that this girl is not an NPC, but a player girl whose initial class is a crossbow archer or a clever snitch (both classes start with light armor).
There is nothing innovative in the setting of player death in "Redemption", like many old-era online games, after the player dies, in the absence of the priest class to release the resurrection skills, the player can either choose to pay a certain amount of money and experience to resurrect from a nearby safe resurrection point, or can choose to spend a small amount of soul resurrection, and then spend some time running to the place where the dead lie to resurrect in situ, of course, in order to prevent players from using the soul perspective to detect the map without damage and other cheats, The process of running a corpse is automatically done by the system, and the time it takes to run a corpse is determined by the distance between the place of death and the point of resurrection.
The player girl character has been hung up, but the corpse has not been refreshed, and it is obvious that she chose to resurrect by soul running corpse. Judging from the fact that she was the only one around, it seemed that this girl had come here alone, and then alarmed the big wild boar that roamed here to be attacked and hung up.
A light armor class came to the side of the stone cliff that refreshed the big boar alone, leveling? Or do you want to do the task? Rococo was a little curious, but he was quickly pressed to the back of his mind. In any case, since it's just one person, as long as she doesn't come to disturb her side, it's good to ignore it, for the current Rococo, leveling is still the most important, because the higher the level in the game, the slower the upgrade, although it was upgraded from level 1 to the second half of level 4 yesterday afternoon, but after a whole day today, Rococo didn't dare to say that he was sure that he could directly rush to level 10.
According to the progress of the previous life game in the NPC, if there is no reborn like the Empire on the Federation's side, then a large number of players should be stationed in the main city of the Federation this afternoon, although she can't catch up with the first batch of leading players, but in order to deeply participate in the main story, she can't be left too far behind, and at least tomorrow at the latest, she must reach level 10 and enter the main city.
Thinking like this, Rococo didn't pay attention to the lying corpse girl anymore, but left a distance to confirm that there was a certain distance from the girl who didn't know when she would be resurrected, and then selected an unlucky big boar who was walking leisurely in the distance, and then immediately began the same card vision projectile attack as yesterday.
With the help of balance mastery, Rococo, who can shoot while moving, can be said to have played all the essence of this injuryless projectile technique recorded in the game information of his previous life, compared to yesterday, when the big boar moved randomly every time, it would make her more or less frightened, and the current Rococo can already be said to be completely playing with the big boar.
The level difference between level 5 and level 8, although it will still make Rococo's attack on the Great Boar slightly suppressed in terms of attributes, is almost negligible. And due to the growth of Rococo's own attributes, the attack power exerted with the bronze-level longbow in his hand is far stronger than at the beginning, as long as he can hit the big boar, each attack of Rococo can effectively take away the opponent's blood volume ranging from 3 to 5 points, but due to the level gap, Rococo's critical strike rate is still a little low, even if it is a big boar grinding to death with a basic attack, I am afraid there will not be a critical hit.
Agilely controlling the pace, at the same time, the projectile in his hand and the calculation of the attack curve in his brain did not stop, in just about 10 minutes, Rococo easily grinded the blood volume of the big wild boar in front of him to less than half, and this was put on hold until the first time of level 1 yesterday, but it took her nearly an hour to do it.
However, just as Rococo was about to easily harvest the first large boar of the day and its experience points without harm, the mutation suddenly happened.
"Xiao Ke, it's not good, someone over there is leading a monster over!"
Because he focused on throwing and killing the big boar in front of him, Rococo didn't always pay attention to the small map in the corner of the system's field of vision, but at the moment, although Alia, who was living in Rococo's body, couldn't appear outside at will like the NPC mode, she played her role very dutifully.
Hearing Arya's reminder, Rococo was startled, the projectile in his hand paused slightly, his eyes glanced at the system minimap, and then immediately raised his eyes to look at the position behind his side.
“…… Tut. ”
After hearing Alia's voice, Rococo had a vague premonition, and the result really made her guess right, and sure enough, it was the girl who was lying on the corpse that she saw just now.
The girl had been resurrected at this moment, but she didn't know how to provoke the big boar wandering nearby so quickly, and was locked into the target of hatred by the other party's vision, and a chase battle immediately started on the stone cliff platform. In fact, it would be nothing if it was just like this, but the girl's movement route was completely beyond Rococo's expectations.
In fact, Rococo didn't think that the girl might provoke other big boars again after being reborn, and she deliberately chose the location of the monster farm to be deeper than the girl's lying corpse, that is, considering that the girl re-provoked the wild monster after being resurrected, generally speaking, she should quickly flee to the place where she left the stone cliff area, rather than moving towards the interior of the stone cliff that might provoke more wild monsters. It's just that who knows that this girl just doesn't take the usual path, obviously the big wild boars not far away are rushing towards her, she actually didn't mean to dodge or retreat at all, but ran at full speed towards the hinterland of the stone cliff platform, completely ignoring the fact that doing so was actually taking the initiative to shorten the distance between the big wild boar that rushed diagonally.
Just when Rococo was thinking about the possibility that the girl was deliberately trying to lure the monster over and harm herself, and quickly stopped the attack, the big boar that had been red blood before began to retreat towards safety, but she saw that the girl who was leading the big boar towards her raised her head, as if she had just noticed Rococo in this direction, and her face quickly changed from nervous panic to consternation.
"Huh? Someone ......"
The girl blurted out almost subconsciously, and immediately realized something, and her shocked expression immediately revealed a mixture of apology and panic.
"Ah, I'm sorry! Please hurry up! I didn't notice anyone here when I came back to life, I'm really sorry! ”
Almost immediately as she said this, the maiden changed direction, apparently trying to lure the large boar that had approached her away from the Rococo as much as possible.
It's just that the girl was slightly lost to the big wild boar that had already sprinted up in terms of speed, coupled with the rookie horizontal movement footwork that suddenly showed timidity in a panic, just a turn, and the girl was immediately approached by the big wild boar chasing her for most of the distance. And because of her panic, the girl soon made the mistake that novices often make - on the way to escape, she unconsciously ran into the hateful field of view of another monster.
The big boar, who was originally extremely anxious because he was beaten red by Rococo outside of his field of vision but couldn't find his location, immediately rushed over with an extremely ferocious momentum after discovering that the escaped girl had entered his hateful vision.
The girl saw the bloody boar running from the other direction, and couldn't help but subconsciously let out an exclamation, she thought that it didn't matter even if she died, but she couldn't make trouble for Rococo, so she wanted to run as far as possible, but she didn't expect to be attacked by the big boar that appeared in front of her diagonally before she didn't take a few steps.
Seeing the girl's hurried appearance, Rococo was finally able to roughly confirm that this guy should not be deliberately trying to attract blame to her, of course, even so, for this girl who almost caused her big trouble even if she made an unintentional mistake, although Rococo was not disgusted, she didn't have much intention of stepping forward to take the initiative to rescue, after all, her current strength was not enough to confront the two big boars head-on.
It's just that just when she wanted to change the place to farm monsters in the opposite direction away from the girl, as if fate was playing a joke on her or the game system, a new big boar was refreshed with a burst of white light on the platform behind her.
The excellent computing power made Rococo instantly realize that although his position was at the edge of the opponent's field of vision, it was definitely in the middle of the newly refreshed field of view of the big boar's hatred. Almost without hesitation, Rococo immediately raised his hand and raised his bow, and when the system white light on the refreshed big boar had not completely disappeared, an arrow with strength took off Rococo's side in a flat way, and shot straight at the front hooves of the big boar whose confusion in his eyes had not yet subsided.
Shoot the legs!
The bow shot accurately hit the front hooves of the big boar, and the newly refreshed big boar immediately staggered, and a debuff sign of slowing down immediately appeared below the health bar above the head.
At the same time, Rococo also immediately began to retreat at full speed, and ran straight towards the periphery of the big boar's hateful vision, and at this time, the big boar that had just been refreshed finally noticed her because of being attacked by Rococo, and let out an angry snort, and the big boar immediately launched the wild boar assault skill, wanting to rush towards Rococo.
But it's a pity that because the boar assault skill can only be regarded as a low-level charge skill in the literal sense, although the speed will be very fast after rushing, but when the skill is first launched, it is not like many advanced sprint skills There is an explosive acceleration process, plus the big boar at the moment is in a state of deceleration, although the first time to launch the sprint skill, but the big boar was stunned and was not able to rush, but still moved from the spot like a snail.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rococo can be the fastest speed, just when the big wild boar's deceleration state disappeared out of the opponent's field of vision, due to the loss of the hatred target, the big boar's sprint skill was also forcibly truncated, although because of the sprint inertia and out of a few steps away, but because of Rococo's clever dodge, the big boar was not able to lock Rococo again after all.
Finally dodged the pursuit of the big boar that suddenly appeared, but Rococo did not let go, his face was a little helpless, Rococo looked at the other side was being chased by two big boars from two directions, there were already some tears on his face, and the girl who was also panicking at her feet, sighed lightly and finally raised her bow and arrow.
Originally, she could have dodged, but the newly refreshed big boar happened to block her original retreat, and as a result, she retreated, not only retreating to her original position, but even getting closer to the hateful vision area of the two big boars.
Now if the daredevilic girl hangs up again, it will only be a matter of time before Rococo, who happens to be surrounded by these three big boars, will be discovered by their hateful vision, although he doesn't want to take the risk, but Rococo also has to admit that it is undoubtedly the best way to join forces with the daredevilic girl in this situation - or to take advantage of the fact that the other party is still alive to attract the hatred of the two big boars, and find a way to kill the two big boars that are chasing her, one full of blood and one with dead blood.
Thinking so, Rococo pursed his lips and shouted at the girl who was running around like a headless fly.
"Don't panic! Run in the direction of that big, red-blooded boar! Fast! ”
