Chapter 17: The Strange Cave
Acoste rubbed his aching shoulders, and he used his second set of swordsmanship in addition to military swordsmanship to deal with the wolf, the reverse cross slashing sword. This set of swordsmanship is the swordsmanship he learned from a legendary-level weapon master after becoming a high-level warrior in his previous life, and Acoste vaguely remembers that in order to learn that set of memories, it can be said that he went through a lot of hardships to complete the tasks issued by the weapon master to increase the level of friendliness [brush prestige], and finally got the guidance of the weapon master and learned this set of high-level secret techniques.
This set of swordsmanship is most suitable for use in the melee, it is very particular about the potential in the battle, Yacoste's first move is to accumulate momentum, and this set of swordsmanship for the balance and pace of the body is also very high, ordinary people know that when you swing the weapon hard or do a large action, there will be inertia, and the general warrior is forced to eliminate this inertia by stopping the action, so that it will inevitably cause a long or short stiff time, but this set of advanced swordsmanship does the opposite, The user has to catch this inertia to connect to the next blow, and as the combo becomes more and more, the inertia will increase correspondingly, and the destructive power and the potential of his attack will also increase exponentially, and when these accumulate to a peak, Yacoste can hit a deadly attack beyond his own level of strength!
Of course, learning a set of advanced swordsmanship is not as simple as it says on the face, it is composed of special force skills, combat steps and routines, Acoste spent more than half a year studying and practicing hard in order to comprehend this complete set of swordsmanship, and practiced every day sweating like rain and memorized that move with muscles, and finally barely reached the point of mastery, which shows that advanced martial arts will not be easier to learn than the mage's spells. Of course, this set of swordsmanship also has its own drawbacks, it is very suitable for large-scale wars, but it is not very suitable for one-on-one with masters, because anyone whose martial arts have reached a realm can find out the characteristics of your swordsmanship through the beginning of the battle, then they can easily interrupt the power you are accumulating, or find a flaw in it and kill you directly.
After killing a large number of wild wolves and a wolf king, Acoste's experience finally broke through the bottleneck, and the upgraded Acoste will not hesitate to choose to increase his Juggernaut level, picking up combat power and destructive power, ten warriors are not worth a Juggernaut, and the most signature lethal attacks and weaknesses insight in Acoste's profession are very dependent on the level of Juggernaut, which is his magic weapon to win against strong enemies!
"Let's get out of here." Acoste picked up the wolf's corpse at will, wiped the blood on the leather armor with the clean fur on it, the smell of blood here is too strong, it will definitely attract more fierce but hungry beasts in a few minutes, Acoste They are not the god of war, and they do not have the unrealistic idea of cleaning up all the monsters in this jungle.
The others nodded, and the group quickly crossed the battlefield, and until now they entered this strange jungle, Yacoste they have been attacked by countless monsters, including a large number of goblins, mire monsters, a small number of jungle trolls and wild wolves, even if these monsters did not cause any losses to Yacoste, but also made Yacoste very troubled, you must know that your current adventure team has all reached the height of second-order professionals, and naturally exudes an aura of a master, But those beasts with keen intuition are like a stunned green, they don't say a word when they meet Acoste, which makes Acoste very puzzled, according to his understanding of these beasts, except for the trolls and mire monsters whose IQ is a bit worrying, wolves and goblins are very cautious or cowardly monsters, generally they only dare to attack when their own number is 10 times greater than the number of the opponent, and the other party does not seem to be well-equipped.
However, Acoste thought for a while and didn't bother with this anomaly, the jungle was full of shade, and the sky darkened very quickly, giving people the feeling that the light suddenly disappeared, but fortunately, Acoste found a naturally formed cave in a recessed mountain wall, Ling was the first to climb up and investigate, and then after confirming that it was safe, Acoste began to set up a tent and light a fire inside, and prepared their own dinner.
This cave is very shallow, Yacoste and they can walk dozens of steps into it to reach the end, and in the deepest part of the cave Ling found a few "nests" made of thatch, but there is no trace of the smell of wild beasts in the cave, the only thing that can be explained is that the owner of this place has abandoned this place a long time ago.
The dinner is very rich, there are fragrant barbecue and thick soup, because this side is a shelter, Yacoste and they are not worried that the fragrance will waft out and attract the monsters in the jungle, after a sumptuous dinner, Yacoste and Ling are angry at the entrance of the cave with a new bonfire, a day of fighting makes them very tired, but as the leader he must lead by example. And the presence of thieves and warrior monks in each shift has greatly reduced the threat of Acoste being attacked by monsters who are good at stealth, and now Ling's listening skills are almost comparable to that of professional wanderers, and it is needless to say that warrior monks are a profession with high perception.
"Rustle." The night wind blows through the leaves of the jungle and makes a swaying sound, in the hazy light of the fire, the woods are swaying like a group of demons dancing, the cries of night owls and the roars of unknown beasts will sound from time to time in the unknown corners of the jungle, and the bright moonlight is obscured by heavy dark clouds, making the woods under this night scene seem particularly deep and weird. and terrible.
Acoste broke off a dry branch and threw it into the fire, not caring Ling just leaned on his shoulder, looking at the slightly gloomy and terrifying forest, Acoste thought about it, it has been almost half a year since his debut, but the things he has encountered in the past six months are more abundant than the sum of his previous 18 years, and he suddenly feels that he is very lucky, because he is still alive now, and he has not died in some unknown corner like countless adventurers.
"Dong ......" just when Acoste was wandering outside the world, a muffled sound sounded in the depths of the cave, Acoste and Ling immediately jumped up and ran into the cave, this cave is very small, the space inside can hardly accommodate a dozen or so people standing in rows, and the exit guarded by himself is the only entrance and exit of the entire cave, it is impossible for anything to slip into the cave under his nose.
Within seconds, Acoste and Ling were in the depths of the cave, but they were stunned by the sight in front of them, the cave that had been filled with tents and iron pots was empty, the ground was smooth and clean with only dust, and Li Qing and Kogan were nowhere to be seen. Acoste and Ling glanced at each other......
"What about people?"
