Chapter 2: The Battle of Experience
In the dense forest shrouded in white mist, a blood-stained boy was fleeing in wolves.
"I'm not retreating, it's a strategic shift, a strategic shift......"
Grimm muttered like a chant, as if hypnotic. This is indeed not a good start, after all, the first kill of his life in the world of Gonodia has not yet been achieved, and Uncle Green has contributed his first escape first.
To tell the truth, Grimm originally intended to compete with those slick skeletons, as the lowest-level cannon fodder class of Kronace, even if Grimm lost the level of a player in his previous life, even if he only had basic fighting skills, it would be more than enough to deal with with his experience.
— provided they're just "bones".
"Damn, where did the skeleton warriors come from?" Green remembered what he had just checked, and couldn't help but curse again. The boy's memory is still clear, he was chased and killed by five ordinary skeleton soldiers, and it is too much to say that it is the scouts, and Green reckons that this is a precursor to the invasion of the undead. It's just that the pain is still like a substance, but when Green re-examines it with his own eyes, how can there be more first-order high-level creatures?
"Could it be that you got experience upgrades when you killed me?"
The thought was unfortunate enough, and Green quickly stomped his feet three times in succession, and then continued to flee for his life.
Skeletons are the lowest soldiers in the realm of the undead, and their only advantage over primitive skeletons is that they have a ...... Well...... Ironware. Whether it's skeletons or skeleton soldiers, low intelligence and slow movement are synonymous with them, and even players in the novice village can sneak through three or two skeletons with their bare butts and can't find north.
But this doesn't apply to Skeleton Warriors.
Compared to stupid skeleton soldiers, skeleton warriors are much rarer. Diya's necromancers believe that the corpses of the heroic battles in life have a chance to be transformed into skeleton warriors, but the players of "Following the Miracle" have explored and found that in fact, skeleton warriors can evolve through guò skeletons, but skeletons are thin and brittle, and they often summon a wave of death on the battlefield, and it is difficult to stock up and accumulate enough experience to evolve, but once they evolve, their strength in all aspects will be greatly improved, and there is a little bit of phoenix nirvana, at least there is no problem at cutting down a second-order walking corpse, with Green's current state, Under the siege of the four skeletons, a head-to-head confrontation with the skeleton warriors is almost a send-off.
Anyway, I can't beat it, and the only remaining option seems to be to run.
"Well, I'm such a quick-witted teenager - but Phoenix will cry when she knows it."
Green thought silently, secretly giving a thumbs up to his thoughts.
As soon as his spirit was scattered, he almost fell to his foot.
The grinning young man looked back at the undead who were in hot pursuit, and hurried back to the right path.
To say that this run, Green found that he had misunderstood the boy. Although Grimm's agility in the attribute table is not high, but at least it is stronger than the bones, and the reason why he will eventually be caught up and killed by the undead, Green flipped through his memories and found that the boy was introverted, and because of his work relationship and the tavernkeeper's beautiful daughter, he was often bullied by some young ruffians in the town. The day before he went up the mountain to chop wood, he had just been blocked in the alley and beaten violently, his body was bruised and purple, and it hurt a lot if he moved a little, how could he run?
"Eh, they are all hard children, and they will be beaten for nothing."
The so-called little bit of relationship is clear in the young man's heart, and Green also feels that life is similar, and the resistance to crossing in his heart has completely dissipated.
Enduring the pain in his limbs and chest, he ran through an open field, and the fog in front of him was noticeably thicker, and the young man did not slow down, still running straight forward.
Further on, there is the so-called deep mountains. The people of Rhodeland know that the Misty Mountains lie in the middle of the realm of the living and the dead, and the most standard dividing line is the thickness of the fog. There have been people who have tried to enter the mountains, but they have never reappeared in the human realm, and there have been some adventure groups that have gone on expeditions deep into the mountains, but all of them have disappeared, and the whereabouts of the members are unknown. Later, there was a very famous hunter who did not believe in evil and went into the mountains alone, and at first he had some contact with the outside world, but in the end it was difficult to find a trace. Some people say that these people have entered the land of the dead and can never return to the world of the living, and some people say that there are monsters guarding the realm in the deep mountains, eating all the humans who enter the territory, in short, entering the misty mountains is equivalent to calamity and death in the dictionary of the kingdom of Rodland.
Of course, these things had nothing to do with Green, for he suddenly turned a corner, and ran to the forest on the other side of the mountain.
"Just kidding, this situation is critical enough, it's better to save fuel or something."
At that time, the undead army was unstoppable, uniting demons and underground creatures, almost destroying the entire human cultural circle, the NPC power continued to shrink, and the players were busy fighting fires everywhere, and they had no energy to push back the enemy's hometown, even the most adventurous players at that time failed to reach the undead base camp, and the mystery of the Misty Mountains could not be revealed. Finally reborn, Green is busy surviving, how dare he risk getting in.
Boom –
There was a scattered sound behind Green, and the young man hurriedly glanced back, and saw that among the five undead chasing him, one of the skeleton soldiers could not turn around, stumbled on his left foot and his right foot, and directly planted a fierce son on the ground, and the iron sword came out of his hand, falling down and sticking right upside down on his head, and the soul fire in the eye socket of the black hole was extinguished.
"Oh! Good Kung Fu! Green was so happy in his heart that even God was helping him, and he couldn't help but whistle
Then before he had time to turn around, he was directly tripped by the old vine coiled on the ground.
“Ki-sha-sa!”
Not far from the boy, a skeletal warrior in a comical helmet stared at Grimm's back, tugging at its loose teeth and making strange noises that humans couldn't understand.
Green was a little surprised when he heard it.
Although the players don't understand the language of the undead, they have been dealing with these dead corpses for a long time, and they can guess some common words. Green didn't hear it too clearly, but vaguely remembered that it was a high-ranking undead ordering his subordinates, but it was a little strange that it came from the mouth of a skeleton - even if it was a skeleton warrior.
The real world is not the same as the game world!
Green sighed so emotionally, and was just about to get up and continue to escape, when the nearest skeleton suddenly accelerated, like a human walking fast, rushed to Green, and the rusty sword in his hand slashed vertically.
Look for death!
Green rolled over suddenly, brushed shoulders with the blade, propped his hands behind his head and kicked his right leg directly into the skull's jaw, kicking its skull straight away.
"I ...... Nyima hurts......"
Ignoring the results of the battle, the young man crawled up with black mud, picked up the iron sword on the ground, and held it tightly in front of him. The sudden force directly opened the wound on Green's chest, coupled with the pain in the muscles of his limbs, this situation is unexpected. Green had the intention of escaping, but he was too close to the enemy and it was not a safe option to give up his back. At the moment, there are only three undead left, and the danger factor is less than before, you can try to fight, and Green only hopes that the basic swordsmanship can exert normal power.
The remaining three undead quickened their pace, and the skeleton warrior had a faster foot, approaching Green first, and slashed the iron sword in his hand straight down.
The young man subconsciously raised his sword to block, and the moment the blades intersected, his right hand shook the blade of the sword-
The second half of the sentence is pure nonsense.
According to Green's more than 180-level swordsman ability in his previous life, this is a very standard [Block Counterattack] starting style, but he has just completed the "Block" action, and before he has time to "counterattack", the whole person has been bounced out with a strong force, and he can stand firm after taking a few steps back.
"Damn, what's the situation, can't you block?" Green grinned and shook his right hand, which was a little numb, "Where did this kid learn the [Basic Swordsmanship], he didn't even master the skill of parrying—he practiced it with an axe?" ”
The skeleton warrior on the opposite side was not idle, and he failed to succeed in one move, so he immediately stepped forward and swung his sword again.
I don't have to fight for strength, I can only fight for skill!
Green hurriedly dodged to the side, and at the same time a bold idea struck him, he gritted his teeth, threw away the iron sword in his hand, jumped into the arms of the Skeleton Warrior as it raised his hand, and slammed it to the ground with his weight, both hands pressed against the bone arm where it held the sword, and his spirit was highly tense, and he was tense for the first time since the crossing.
Come on! Come here!
The power of the skeleton warrior continued to surge, and Green tried his best to suppress its bone arm, and in half a second, Green could feel the disappearance of muscle strength, and the thrust of the undead under him became stronger and stronger, and the gradual panic made him almost stop breathing.
God bless the boy.
Finally, in the "long" wait of the young man, the two skeletons behind arrived unhurriedly, and then swung the rusty sword at Green on the skeleton warrior without hesitation.
Green immediately let out his strength, and rolled to the side, and the swords of the two skeletons naturally fell on the skeleton warrior's body, and the bone arm that had been suppressed for a long time also bounced away, and with a strong swing, he directly removed the head of one of the skeletons.
"Whew...... Good ......"
Green clutched the cut on his shoulder, watching the skeleton with its head scattered into a pile of bones, his back still dripping with cold sweat. Whether it's movement or thinking, the sluggishness of skeletons is deeply imprinted in every player's mind, but the game is different from reality after all. Green's tactics are copied from the high-force warriors against the earth element, but he didn't expect the speed of the undead to produce a slight error, if the two skeleton soldiers were half a point slower, the skeleton warrior pulled out his hand for the first time, and Green had to fill the scar again.
“Ki…… Kisa……”
The voice of the skeleton warrior suddenly remembered, and the skeleton that was one size larger than the ordinary skeleton got up from the ground, and grumbled at Grimm as if in anger, and his right arm swayed and fell to the ground with a thud.
…… The defense is not low.
Green rolled his eyes, although he didn't kill the skeleton warrior, at least he killed a small skeleton, plus a large arm, it was not a loss.
The Skeleton Warrior froze for a moment, then bent down and picked up the iron sword with his left arm.
So next......
Green clenched his fists and glanced at the large skeleton. Through its black hole sockets, the young man seemed to be able to see the leaping soul fire, which portrayed some kind of strange love in this skeleton.
The Skeleton Warrior seemed to be furious.
So Green made up his mind.
…… I'd better run.
