Chapter 44, the first glimpse of martial arts
"Xiao Qianyin, seeing that it is almost noon, I haven't found the target yet, I guess I can't get off the bus to prepare lunch, and I will be wronged for lunch You will eat bread and canned food in the car, I'm really sorry~"
Delia took out the energy drink, large pieces of bread, various fruits, and canned meat that she had prepared long ago, and handed them to Asakane one by one, and said to her with an apologetic look on her face.
In her eyes, a little girl like Qianyin should have been pampered since she was a child, and she is afraid that she can't adapt to the life of a mercenary and can't get used to eating simple food, but the task is still being carried out, and it is indeed inconvenient to stop and prepare lunch, so she looks a little sorry.
However, Qianyin did not express any dissatisfaction, she is not the daughter of a rich family, how can she mind such a trivial matter, besides, although the food prepared by the mercenaries is simple, it actually tastes not bad, and it is nutritious, not the unpalatable jerky and dry multigrain steamed buns that are difficult to swallow as imagined.
"Sister Delia, what's there to be sorry for, it's already very rich~, thank you for your hospitality, I'm going to go~"
Asain responded with a sweet smile, picked up the bread and tore it open, put a few pieces of meat and fruit in it, and ate it in small bites.
The taste is not bad, much better than the food made by my brother······
Delia was relieved to see that she was eating with relish, and looked at her with even more pity in her eyes.
Asakane didn't notice, just quietly took a small bite of bread, and looked at the gloomy sky through the car window from time to time.
The most yang season of the day did not give the two suns in the sky the power to disperse the dense clouds, the first time to the outside world to experience the gloomy weather brought about by the depressed emotions, which can not be felt in the underground city where the day is always clear and the night is always deep, and it is not until today that she did not know that the weather can affect people's mood, which is a magical thing that she can't think of.
There is not too much in-depth research, but deep down in her heart, she has already understood the gap between the false and the real, and in a way, this can be regarded as a kind of harvest and growth.
Everyone drove and ate, and the convoy continued to go deep into the wasteland in an orderly manner, just when everyone in the mercenary team thought that the journey would continue to be so peaceful before discovering the target, the accident still happened.
When the convoy detected a group of bloated, ugly tall, humanoid creatures roaming around the entire front with bulging fangs, the team members who recognized the creatures as a group of second-class dangerous brutes prepared to make a detour.
These guys have rough skin and thick flesh and a brutal character, although they are only second-class dangerous species, but they are large social beasts, once they meet, they are often scattered hundreds of large groups wandering around, and compared to ordinary beast-type wild beasts, their brains are a little more flexible, and they are more cunning, and even know a lot of joint hunting skills, plus they have a very large appetite, so once they appear, they are often like locusts, which can cause a certain area of grass to grow and disappear.
Their group is too spread out to be suitable for passing through the middle, in case it attracts the attention of one of the brute ghosts, it will be a big deal, being besieged by hundreds or thousands of brute ghosts is still a trivial matter, if the movement is too large, it will attract the attention of other wild beast groups and cause regional riots, and then it will be troublesome.
It's also because they're so spread out that the rangers can't lure them away in groups, so it's the only option to go around a little farther and get around.
However, they thought so, but things did not go according to their thoughts, because the group of brutes was in a state of wandering, and the direction of progress happened to be towards the convoy, so the convoy began to turn to the left side even if it was a kilometer away, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, and before the convoy completely bypassed, some of them were already about to crash directly into the outer wall of the convoy defense where everyone was located.
They had no choice but to mobilize a few hounds outside to try to lure away the brutes in a local area, trying to pass through the middle of their left flank.
At first, it was quite successful, seeing the hound appear, they were greedy and didn't want to join the predation excitedly, most of the brutes on the left flank were lured away, revealing a fairly spacious gap, and the convoy passed between them thrillingly, and it seemed that it was about to succeed, but a certain approaching brute suddenly sniffled, as if he smelled something, and let out a few excited ugly roars, which resonated with the nearby brute ghosts, and then they slowly surrounded the convoy quietly.
Delia, who had been maintaining the detection, soon discovered that something was wrong, the nearby brute ghosts actually showed signs of surrounding the convoy, obviously discovering them, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but exclaim and remind: "Reynold, we were discovered, it must be because we are too close, they smell us!" I actually forgot that their sense of smell is so sensitive that they can even catch the subtle scents naturally emitted by the atmospheric fluid shield, so they have to be ready to fight. ”
It's not so much that they smell the smell of their bodies, but that they smell the smell of the food they just ate before it has time to be cleared by the atmospheric fluid defense shield.
Captain Reynold's brows furrowed, but he didn't show any panic, but nodded and began to order in a deep voice: "The convoy will keep moving forward for the time being, Di Lia, immediately investigate and find out the number of our brute ghosts, expand the silent force field and illusion interference to wrap them, and the rest of the team members enter the combat state, and quickly solve them after capturing them, be careful not to leave too much blood, and then we will evacuate as quickly as possible, and strive to leave from their group before they fully react, understand?" ”
The crew members of the other two off-road vehicles gave a firm reply via the on-board radio: "Understood! ”
And Delia had already stood up through the open roof of the car, and with all her input of mental power, the effect of the mute force field skill card was spread, including all the barbarians in the vicinity, and at the same time increasing the effect of illusion interference, causing illusions so that the barbarians in the outside world did not notice the abnormality.
Then, without waiting for her to remind, the team members had jumped directly from the car, and the action was swift and began to clean up and kill.
In addition to the three people who drove the car, including the captain, Di Liya, who is a skill-based card master, needs to maintain the force field and the effect of the skill card, and at the same time take care of the overall situation, so naturally she will not make a move, and she is asked to protect Di Liya closely, so she naturally stayed in the carriage, and the remaining four team members all went out, and they all showed their magic and began to kill.
The newcomer Hua Xiaoji is undoubtedly the main combatant, he jumped directly from the car, and in mid-air he had already summoned a white ring of boundaries, and the flashes of the cards flashed again and again, and for a while he couldn't count how many cards he had activated.
Jumping high and landing silently, his speed increased to the limit in an instant, his body was fast enough to pull out a series of afterimages, and the metal mechanical fist that appeared in his hand resounded with the crisp collision sound produced by the rotation and bite of the gears, providing several times the explosive power for his attack, and then, a simple surprise attack and then punching, each attack hit the vital point of a brute ghost, and the fist gauntlet hit their bodies inevitably erupted into a dull and loud air explosion, and with his high-speed turn, the blow was gone, The continuous beating sound like a fierce drum beat sounded in the field, and it sounded very rhythmic.
Samsung Enhancement Card - Blood Boiling: Accelerate the flow rate of blood to greatly improve your physical fitness, highlighting and strengthening muscle explosiveness, resistance to blows, recovery ability, reaction speed and movement speed;
Three-Star Enhancement Card - Muscle Explosion: Activate muscle potential, greatly improve physical fitness in an all-round way, and highlight the strengthening of muscle strength, resistance to blows, movement speed and attack speed;
Three-star skill card - Wind Chasing Blessing: Eliminate most of the friction between the body and the air, and can provide propulsion in reverse, when the speed of movement is faster, the air will be less obstructive to the body, and the power provided will gradually increase, and the body will begin to condense the power of chasing the wind around the body after ten seconds, and the accumulated power of chasing the wind can burst out at one time to form a violent impact, and the intensity of the impact depends on the concentration of the power of chasing the wind;
Samsung Armed Card - Gangzeta Gear Mechanical Power Fist Gauntlet: Pay a minimum of 100 energy points for each punch to increase the strength of this punch by three times, increase the speed of each additional energy by 100 points, and the maximum energy can be invested by 1,000 points per punch, reaching 12 times the punch strength, and the effect has no cooldown.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 barbarian ghosts in the field were beaten by him, even if these barbarian ghosts had rough skin and thick flesh, and they were hit hard by his multiple blessings, some of the barbarian ghosts were also directly beaten to the vital point, fell to the ground and died, and the other barbarian ghosts were also uncomfortable, and they couldn't even roar out in pain, what is strange is that the parts of their bodies that were attacked looked only a little softer on the surface, and it didn't look too serious, but it caused so many wild beasts to die directly, and other wild beasts were in pain. Combined with the bizarre explosion caused by each previous punch, one can't help but wonder if this is the effect of a certain skill card.
Also as an armed card master, shallow sound will see this peculiarity in his eyes, and naturally have some doubts, wondering if this is the effect of some rare card, but Di Liya next to her seemed to see her doubts, and explained: "Don't get me wrong, this is Hua Xiaoji's ancestral martial arts skills, presumably as an armed card master, you should be able to understand what martial arts skills are, his martial arts skills are skills that use special force skills to directly destroy the internal organs of the other party. It is also considered to be one of the most practical martial arts techniques known, but it can only be effective against living flesh and blood lifeforms, and the amount of force that can be punched depends entirely on the user's mastery of this skill, which is more demanding. ”
"It's actually a martial arts skill!" Light Yin smacked her tongue secretly, of course she knew what it was, but it was precisely because she knew that she couldn't help but be surprised.
The so-called martial arts are the higher level of combat skills derived from the basic combat skills, before fantasy cards have not become the mainstream of human power, and even before the development of scientific and technological power, this is the main means that human beings are still in the agricultural era to fight against the wild beasts and the dangerous environment of nature.
There are many kinds of martial arts skills, tens of millions of genres, each with a different focus, but it can allow human beings to have good skills and attack methods through long-term exercise, and some precious martial arts skills can even make people break through the limits of the human body, but in the long river of time, this kind of skill that requires long-term practice and proficiency is still eliminated by the more powerful and convenient power of science and technology and card system, until the rise of the armed card master, human beings have discovered that martial arts skills can play a qualitative increase effect on the application of melee cards, Only then was it possible to retain some of the martial arts skills that were about to be completely extinct.
In this era, martial arts skills are already very rare secret skills, except for those more famous high-level schools, martial arts families and a few large forces, there are very few talents who can teach martial arts skills, such as Dongcheng Academy, the lowest public academy in the federation is ironclad, and what Qianyin practiced in the academy is just basic combat skills, and she only heard the teacher of the actual combat class mention martial arts skills, and I didn't expect to see someone use it today.
The magical effect of this advanced technique, which is different from the basic fighting technique, opened her eyes, and it is hard to imagine that this is done through the power of the human body itself, and I have to say that it aroused her great interest.
"Yes, it is precisely because of this unique skill that only Hua Xiaoji, the apprentice of the Royal Card Master, was promoted to our elite team by the captain, and he did not disappoint us, in just one year, he has grown into a generalist and the main force of melee combat in the team, you don't see that he is usually a little out of tune, but he is still very reliable when performing tasks, na~, in short, he is a child with great potential~" Delia praised with a smile, and then thought of something, and proposed to her: "Speaking of which, you are all armed card masters." , I think it should be good for you. ”
"Hmm~, you make a lot of sense, I should really ask Brother Xiaoji for advice, Sister Delia."
After thinking about it, it made sense, and nodded vigorously in response.
"Then I will let him teach you a few hands, but if he dares to be perfunctory, you can tell me directly, and I will teach him a lesson!"
"Hehe~, Sister Delia is amazing~, thank you so much, Sister Delia!"
"You're welcome, I'm doing this so that you can better protect me~"
······················
There is a strong lore of Hua Xiaoji, and it didn't take much effort to complete the task of purging, and the remaining two male team members used a strengthening card that made the body part of the beast, with the melee type of skill card three times five divided by two, and quickly completed the mending knife for the remaining half-dead and inactive brute, while Yuna, another short-haired and capable female team member who got off the car, reached out to summon a super-large toad with three huge mouths, while the team members were still mending the knife, She had already ordered the toad phantom beast to start sticking out its tongue and quickly swallowing the corpses of the desolate beasts on the ground into the big belly in the shape of a cloth bag, and in a short time, more than twenty two-meter-tall barbarian corpses were swallowed cleanly.
Even though the toad is two stories tall, this behavior is too unbelievable, and people are amazed at the size of its appetite.
Four-Star Summoning Card - Three Mouthfuls of Corrosive Toad: A giant summoned beast containing high poison, attacking with a tough tongue to prey on enemies, the venom in the stomach is so corrosive that it can corrode the biological tissues that enter the body at a very fast speed, and the venom can also be spit out to attack the enemy.
After solving the temporary crisis, the team members returned to the car and left non-stop.
Although there was no blood left in the field, the sudden loss of a small number of monsters would inevitably make them realize that they had to hurry up and leave their group, as long as they didn't fall into a state of being surrounded, even if the wild beast group pursued them, they had a way to lure them away, so leaving the encirclement of the beast group was the key to whether they could get out.
Fortunately, there were no more accidents, and the situation was even better than they had imagined, and they passed through the herd unharmed, without attracting the attention of the herd.
It wasn't until they were far away that the herd seemed to notice something was wrong, and there was some commotion and riot, but it had nothing to do with the mercenary squad······
·················
In the deeper part of the wilderness, in a canyon area where the mountains meet, a well-equipped army is stationed in it, with the help of a large number of simple temporary tents set up on the rugged rocky surface, from time to time there are soldiers with fully armed right arms equipped with combat multi-card terminal wrist machines patrolling near the camp, obviously there are very large numbers, but the whole camp, but the whole camp, seems quiet and rigorous, from which it can be seen that the soldiers are well-trained, the military quality is extremely high, and it can also be seen from their equipment configuration that they are definitely not ordinary federal troops.
At this time, in the center of the camp, more than a dozen portable computers were connected to two tower-like machinery, and more than a dozen soldiers were reviewing the collected data in front of the computers, while behind them stood a brown-haired man wearing a senior non-commissioned officer uniform, with a strong body and an awe-inspiring temperament, who was watching their work with a rigorous look and a somewhat cold look in Furui Wubo's eyes.
It may be because the cold aura exuded by his body is too strong, and none of the soldiers working in front of the computer do not sweat on their foreheads, and they don't even dare to breathe, which shows how terrifying this officer-like man is in the hearts of his subordinates.
The soldiers in front of the computer will report the information they see from time to time, and ask a clerk next to them to sort it out, if you listen closely, you can know that the information they report is basically related to the beasts, and it seems that they are investigating the strength and reproduction of the beasts in a large area.
This unit is the most elite card special combat team among the federal forces stationed in the upper city of the T-11 underground city, and this time it was brought out by their direct commander, Colonel Reinhardt, in the name of actual combat exercises, in fact, it is also to clean up the wild beasts and further eliminate the threatened layer of the city.
However, the members of these special combat teams are actually very unhappy in their hearts, mainly because their new commander, Colonel Reinhardt, who was parachuted down from above, is too fond of exercises, and it is a bit exaggerated to do it in three days, anyway, there will inevitably be an actual combat exercise in ten days and half a month, and every time it is a real battle against the wild beast, even if they are well-equipped and their individual quality is high, this time there are too many people, and they naturally feel that it is enough.
They even suspected that their chief was going to openly pull the army of the Federation to compete with card hunters and mercenaries for jobs, but in a year, the security zone near the T-11 city has spread outward, I don't know how much, except for the inside of the mountain range, the fourth-rank and above desolate beasts in the entire wasteland have been cleaned up by him, and the density of desolate beasts below the fourth rank has also been greatly reduced, this time it is even more necessary to take action against the desolate beasts in the mountain range, there is no intention of stopping at all, it is estimated that such days will last I don't know how long, the soldiers feel tired when they think about it.
They were already eating the expensive beast meat dishes in the city and were about to vomit, so do they want to eat the entire Azure Star? Please, spare us~
Even if they were reluctant, the commander's order could not be disobeyed, especially the order of the iron-blooded and ruthless Reinhardt chief, they did not dare to have a trace of complaint, so they could only accept it and take out their anger at the beast during the actual battle.
Not to mention the bad situation of the soldiers, there was a sudden suspicion among the soldiers who checked the information, and then the soldier shouted with some hesitation: "That, Chief Reinhardt, an unidentified flying entity with strong energy fluctuations has been detected flying out towards the periphery of the mountain range, judging from the detected energy fluctuations and general body size, it is very likely to be a seventh-order dangerous ······species, etc., it doesn't seem to be a desolate beast!" Sir... Please come and see ······"
"Huh?" The Reinhardt chief frowned and walked over to the soldier's computer, his eyes narrowed when he saw the somewhat blurry image displayed on the computer······
·····················
(The specific time period is not the same, don't dig too deep)
