Chapter 9: Life to Death

Coco's physical condition was terrible, and when she carried Coco back to the village, she found that the blood that flowed from behind her dragged all the way! Those small sparks split into countless pieces at the moment of the explosion, so now the slightest shock would cause those sharp shards to cut through Cocoa's flesh and internal organs all the time, and the pain was beyond his imagination.

He was rushed to Lan'er's home, and Lan'er, who had probed for his injuries, said that the injuries might be much more serious than what he saw now! Normally speaking, in this world, whether it is a knife wound or a sword wound, or even an arrow shot, even if you don't pull it out, as long as it doesn't hurt the vital HP and doesn't return to zero, it can gradually heal, and the arrow is a consumable and will disappear within a period of time, after all, this is a "game world".

It's just that the fragments in Coco's body are completely different now, for some reason they just don't show signs of disappearing, but Cocoa's state is getting worse and worse, the wound is bleeding nonstop, and the HP that has just been urgently restored with the recovery magic has not lasted a few seconds and is exhausted again, as if these fragments are sucking Coco's life.

He unleashed EX Insight.

"Shrapnel of the Thunder: Mechanical Skill. A token of the chain of thunderbolts after the explosion, earth-type magic. The hit target will fall into a continuous bleeding state of 0.5% of the maximum health deducted per second, the duration of each bleeding state is 2 seconds, the duration does not stack with the number of shrapnel, and the presence of each shrapnel increases the attack damage of the bleeding state by 10%. Each shrapnel will remain protected and cannot be destroyed until the target's HP drops below 10%! ”

No wonder this shrapnel won't go away, it turns out that this is not a consumable, just a magic skill.

He made a simple calculation, a fragment has a maximum health of 0.5% per second, and there are about 100 pieces in Coco's body, each with a bonus of 10%, increasing the attack power to more than 5.5%! Because if it's calculated by stacks, the attack power will be higher! That is to say, at 10% health, the shrapnel disappears, and according to the most unfavorable point in time, there is still two seconds of bleeding time after the shrapnel disappears, and the simple algorithm will be higher than 10% of the health, so if you just wait for the shrapnel to disappear, Coco will definitely die.

But if you don't let the shrunnel disappear, you just rely on powerful drugs and healing magic to support your blood at the same time, but this kind of coco's wound will never heal, and it will also exhaust Lan'er, in fact, Lan'er is no longer able to do it now!

Knowing that time was pressing, he had to tell Lan'er about it.

Realizing that Lan'er's MP was about to be consumed to a dangerous level, Zixun unreservedly told her all the information about his insight skills and the Thunder Shards.

At first, Lan Er was still skeptical, but seeing that Zi Xun was so persistent, and now she was a little inattentive in doing things, and she couldn't spend it any longer, she decided to listen to Zi Xun's advice and take a gamble!

Undoubtedly, this kind of death is very dangerous, and if Coco does not recover enough HP in two seconds, it will only be powerless.

Fortunately, Lan'er finally succeeded, using the last drop of magic in his body to pull Coco back from the death line, watching Coco's injuries slowly improve, Zi Xun walked out of the door with a heavy heart.

Although no matter how many injuries are in this world, as long as they are not killed by one blow, there is hope of survival, but this time Coco is only two seconds away from death, if the accident really happens, then what should I do, if I lose my life in this world, then I will really die!

The news of Coco's recovery made everyone in the tribe excited, except for these two.

Zixun and Arnold sat on a bare rock, silent. Zi Xun is confused about how to face death in this world, but Arnold, who is usually hearty and arrogant, is also frowning, this taciturn appearance is very different from Zi Xun's image of him in ordinary days.

After a long time, Arnold said the first thing he had said in half an hour.

"Hey, do you know why Coco keeps working so hard?" Arnold asked, staring into the unknown distance.

Zixun shook his head.

"When I was a child, the Dragondmen were involved in a war between goblins and machines, and my parents died protecting their people in that war.

At that time, I was very cowardly, I had no strength, no courage, I could do nothing, I did not dare to avenge my parents and did not dare to accept the fact that they were gone, I was naΓ―ve and fled from the village protected by my parents, deceiving myself that I could find my parents as long as I left here, and on that occasion, I also paid the price for my stupidity!

As soon as I left the village, I met the Automaton, and in order to save me, my dragon Valrhona lost its right eye and power, and is still sleeping in the Flame Cave, and when I thought I was going to die, it was Coco's parents who found me and ......"

Arnold didn't want to say any more, and later in the story, Zixun also guessed that in order to cover the young Arnold's escape, he fought with the mechanical clan and finally lost his whereabouts.

"Coco must be very disappointed...... Zi Xun said as if talking to himself.

Arnold smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I must have been cowardly at the time, but Coco was the bravest warrior of the Dragonland, she only shed tears on the first day of her parents' disappearance, and she never let her smile disappear in front of me in the following days...... It's obviously because of my stupidity, it's clear that it's her who gets hurt every time, but she'd rather cover her wounds than make me feel guilty as a fool! It is because of her character that she has always worked hard to show us that she is strong. ”

"Because you understand her, you have also become stronger, and lo and behold, you are also the head of the clan now!" Zixun patted him on the shoulder, trying to free himself from this dreary atmosphere.

"But as the head of a clan, it's my fault for letting my clan get hurt! Not to mention...... I had already discovered the traces of the mechanical clan, but I didn't avoid this situation, which is my dereliction of duty! Arnold clenched his fists, and the mood fluctuations of the dragon people would take on the characteristics of magical power, making Arnold's body surface begin to glow with blood-red lines at this time.

It's just that Arnold's current state is very unhappy with Zixun, I don't know what the reason is, in short, it's very unhappy!

"Coco wasn't hurt because of you! Isn't it a bit superfluous for you to be so self-indulgent? An unspeakable emotion took over his mind in that moment, and it was only at the moment that he realized how rude his words were! It is not an exaggeration to describe it as under-beaten.

Zixun's words surprised Arnold, he glanced at Zixun with a complicated expression and sneered.

"Eh, that...... I didn't mean that......" Zi Xun, who was suddenly weak-hearted, hurriedly changed his words.

"Yes, she was injured this time because of you!" Arnold mocked in a playful tone, "If those words just touched you, you should blush with shame!" ”

Zixun's expression became dull, and his calm mood was coldly pulled by Arnold again.

"I don't have the habit of using my weakness to win sympathy, don't put all the blame on yourself self-righteously, you're not that strong!" The more annoyed he was, the more he realized himself, very purely, in the whole matter, he didn't want anyone to bear the guilt heavier than him, otherwise what was he?

"In the Dragonman Clan, you are challenging the absolute power of the tribe!" Arnold said with a cold look in his eyes.

"Hit it!" The sudden anger made him clench his fists.

And never expected Zixun to really make a move, Arnold's left face was caught off guard by this punch.

"That looks like a private fight! Doragon! Arnold touched the painless left side of his face, and the inflammation in his body suddenly rose! The two men who had been controlled by impulse for a split second began to roar, and Arnold mercilessly gave Zixun a punch back.

"Duel decision, character attributes adjusted to balance. HP minus 232, remaining HP 7210. ”

After level 10 or above, the PVP mode will be automatically turned on under the conditions agreed by both parties, in which the character's attack attributes and health will be adjusted, in short, the attack power is reduced and the health value is increased, in order to avoid the boredom of being killed by one hit.

It's just that the balance problem caused by the character level is unavoidable, one is 35 levels and one is 10 levels, and the victory or defeat should be a certainty at the beginning.

But these two people punched back with one punch and one punch at the other, venting their anger without any technical content, and the damage caused by each punch was only 72 points, but Arnold's health was as much as 16530! After a few rounds, only half of Zixun's blood remains, and Arnold's blood volume is still healthy!

Zi Xun gritted his teeth hatefully, there was no winner or loser in his heart at this time, he just wanted to beat him and beat this self-righteous guy hard!

The mutual fight between the two made the other clansmen scratch their heads, but no one dared to stop them, because the absolute recognition of the opponent and the absolute observance of the rules of the duel by the dragon people were their survival guidelines in this world.

Perhaps a little annoyed by such a stalker, Zi Xun swung his fist at him again, and threw him to the ground with his stout dragon man turning.

"HP minus 2430!"

He got up from the ground with a muffled hum, and the pain and ineffective skill attribute made him unable to care about his own blood at all, so he was like a madman who only knew how to attack before, and now, watching the blood at the corner of his mouth dripping on the dust, a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes.

"If you keep fighting like this, you'll lose!" He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "What's the point of that?" ”

The corners of his mouth hooked up a weird smile, Arnold was a little incomprehensible, in fact, as early as the previous rounds of "boxing interaction", Arnold had calmed down, he admired Zixun very much, although he was a novice who was only level 10, he also reciprocated with absolute respect.

Therefore, the next few attacks are quite stable and reasonable, and they also make Zixun suffer a lot.

At this time, Zixun's HP was 2692 and Arnold's HP was 16170, and the battle was one-sided, and there was actually no need to fight at all.

But Zixun was unusual, and stretched out his hand in one direction. Due to the blessing of the spear's mastery, the practice spear he had used before appeared in his hand out of thin air.

"Very good, let me see how much you've learned!" With a slight smile on his lips, Arnold beckoned him to let the horse come.

"Acquire skills: Combat Instinct; Acquire Skills: Dragonman Spearman; Acquire skills: Liuyunbu; Skill Acquired: Second Thrust; Gain Skill: Feint.

The 2nd Thrust and Feint Attack are combined into one skill: Phantom Thrust, 2nd Thrust and Feint Skills removed. ”

Due to the awakening of his body's fighting instinct, his body movements at that moment were faster than his brain thinking, allowing his "Realm Adaptation" attribute to unlock so many skills at once, and his speed skyrocketed in an instant!

"How so!" Arnold couldn't help but be taken aback, and Zixun's sudden approach surprised him, "What's going on with this kind of body?" So fast! It's not the same level at all. ”

"Liuyunbu."

While he was surprised, a chill behind him made Arnold suddenly cautious, and quickly turned back to defend, but the moment he turned around, the quilt slashed in a direction that was impossible to do.

The wound was not very deep, but the shock to Arnold was very great!

"It's different! It's not at all! This guy! How much has it improved all of a sudden? ”

Completely under Zixun's attack, Zixun's speed, as well as his strange body style, gave Arnold a headache, and under this frequency of attacks, Arnold's HP was also decreasing little by little, although it was not very obvious, but the balance of victory seemed to have changed subtly.

If you continue like this, you may lose! Arnold secretly thought that he had to take the initiative to attack! Grabbing the gap where Zi Xun had not yet attacked, he roared angrily and swung his fist at him, but the blow seemed to hit, but it really missed! And Zixun disappeared again at that moment!

"Phantom?" Just as he was wondering, a spear was inserted into his back, and unbelievably another spear tip was inserted into it!

These two attacks really reduced a lot of Arnold's HP, and soon Arnold's HP value was only half!

"Dragon armor shattered!" Arnold, who was passive, roared angrily, and a gust of wind swirled under his feet.

Zi Xun, who was not aware of the abnormality, brandished a spear and stabbed it, but it seemed to be held against an invisible shield, and in the next second, the invisible shield suddenly burst, and the air flow generated by the explosion shook Zi Xun out of the way in an instant.

"HP reduced by 2500! 5% MP remains, due to insufficient MP, the flow cloud step will be automatically turned off. HP is less than 5%, realm skill activated: Born to Die! ”

"Your strength is far beyond my expectations, thank you! It was a great fight! The heartiness of the battle made his heart knot long gone, and now he faced a respectable opponent!

"Each other, each other!" Zixun smiled, but the spear in his hand showed that he still had the will to fight, and this was what Arnold wanted to see.

"Come on, my opponent! Your strength, I recognize! Arnold laughed heartily, and the unlost battle intent burned in his eyes.

"This is the final blow!" Zixun roared and rushed over, greeted by the same roar of Arnold.

"Roaring Dragon's Teeth!"

"Demolition Spike!" Recalling Coco's previous battle skills, he used up the last bit of MP and released! At that moment, the sky-high flames wrapped around the entire body of the spear, and under Arnold's surprised gaze, the dragon spear that pierced through everything collided violently with Arnold's screaming flames!

And one thing that Zi Xun didn't find until the end of this battle, "Born to Die", when the health is less than 5%, it is activated when the health is less than 5%, and its own toughness is increased by 200%, and each of them increases their own strength/magic by 300% of the corresponding attributes!
