Chapter 25: The Challenge
"You now have two choices, continue to challenge the nine sword spirits, or choose to directly challenge the next stage." Bai Gu seemed to be in order not to let Xiao Lang think too much, and directly told Xiao Lang about the task options behind Wuguan.
"Challenging the next stage? How many stages does Wuguan have to be divided into? After listening to Bai Gu's words, Xiao Lang really no longer dwelled on the trouble that Bai Gu said before, but asked the question he was most concerned about now.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to be "entangled", but Xiao Lang knows that this kind of thing, people don't want to talk about it, and it's useless to ask.
"It depends on your own performance in the martial arts, the better you perform, the more stages, the more difficult it will be." White Bone said as a matter of routine.
"What kind of truth is this, the better the performance, the more difficult it is, doesn't that mean that the performance is worse, but it is easier to pass the martial arts?" Xiao Lang thought about it and found that he had missed the key point in his thoughts: "Yes, the more stages, the greater the difficulty, and the greater the reward." ”
"That's right." Bai Gu replied: "Of course, no matter how bad your performance is, you have to reach the passing line, for example, if you can't even kill those eight sword spirits, or don't know how to come to me at all, then the only way waiting for you is to die here." ”
"If I choose to continue challenging the Nine Swords, will there be any punishment for failing?" Xiao Lang pondered for a moment and continued to ask.
"The punishment is to lower the evaluation of you, of course, if you fail because you were killed by the sword spirit, then the punishment is death, and the rules in the box of life and death have always been like this." White Bone replied lightly, for it, or for all the souls trapped in the box of life and death, death is really not a terrible thing.
"Who's saying about me?" Xiao Lang heard the problem.
"After passing the Wuguan challenge, you will naturally be clear." White Bone replied.
"If you fail once, is there still a chance to continue the challenge?" Seeing this, Xiao Lang turned to ask the question that Bai Gu should be able to answer.
"As long as you don't die, there will be a chance." White Bone said.
"In that case, I'll continue to challenge." Xiao Lang said: "But the sword in my hand is really useless, can you help me find a good one." ”
"I'm sorry, that's beyond my reach." Bai Gu said lightly.
Xiao Lang originally just asked with the mentality of trying it out, and got a negative answer, which was also expected.
Now there are two paths in front of Xiao Lang, whether to directly challenge the next stage, this is the easiest way, of course, the reward will definitely be the least; If you don't continue to challenge until you reach the limit, and then move on to the next stage, you will get a richer reward, but Xiao Lang can't grasp the difficulty.
However, according to Xiao Lang's temperament, he will definitely not challenge the next stage now, at least to see what kind of power these nine sword spirits will have.
"Are you ready now?" White Bone asked.
"It's time to go."
As soon as Xiao Lang finished speaking, he saw that about twenty meters to his left, nine sword spirits suddenly appeared.
Xiao Lang looked at it fixedly, and thought that the game had suddenly changed the rules, because these nine sword spirits did not have a hatred overlap area at all.
But after all, Xiao Lang had killed the sword spirits for so long, and he had already figured out how big the scope of their hatred was—the sword spirits of the first rank were seven and a half steps, and the second rank was eight steps—for a bounty hunter, using his own pace to measure the distance, the error of each step would not exceed one centimeter.
Carefully calculated, it's not that there is no overlapping area, but the overlapping range of their hatred, strictly speaking, it can't be called a range anymore, it's just a slightly larger dot, like the ink dots that have been shaken off by a brush dipped in too much ink.
Needless to say, this means that it is more difficult again.
Xiao Lang knows what it means to do what he can, although he is a little reluctant, but coping with this situation is also within Xiao Lang's ability.
Nine and ten, Xiao Lang succeeded in challenging one after another.
The sword spirit killed here did not reveal any of its true nature, and after it died, it dissipated like smoke and dust, and it had no experience.
In fact, whether there is experience to take is second in Xiao Lang's opinion, the main thing is that he did not drop the sword spirit body, that is, he did not drop a new waste sword, which is what Xiao Lang is most concerned about, after all, without this, it means that Xiao Lang has no source of weapons.
But fortunately, Xiao Lang doesn't have to think about weapons at present, there are still a lot of waste swords in his bag, and there is no trouble in a short time.
On the other hand, although Xiao Lang is challenging one after another, he even took a break from the line during the period to adjust his state, after all, it can be heard from Bai Gu's words that a successful challenge is the best, although Xiao Lang thinks that even if he fails, he will not be besieged and killed by these small shrimps, but the impact evaluation is always bad, admittedly, to be honest, Xiao Lang is not even clear about what the evaluation is now and what the standard is.
"Go on? Friendly reminder to you, the difficulty of the next challenge will begin to have a qualitative increase. Bai Gu didn't care about Xiao Lang's downline to rest, it only thought that Xiao Lang was closing his eyes and recuperating.
"Go on." In Xiao Lang's opinion, the so-called improvement in difficulty is nothing more than that the sword spirits will cooperate with each other like enemy soldiers, so that although Xiao Lang feels that he is not very sure, because he still has to be restricted from moving, it is no problem to try.
Unexpectedly, when the challenge began, I realized that I still underestimated the difficulty.
First of all, the scope of the sword spirit's hatred was greatly reduced, and there were only about two or three steps left, this was Xiao Lang's first attempt, and the result of the attempt was naturally failure.
The number of Sword Spirits had dropped to eight, but their overlap was no longer one, but two circles one step apart. This is roughly calculated by Xiao Lang.
It was equivalent to the two focal points of the ellipse, and Xiao Lang had to step on these two focal points in order to attract eight sword spirits at the same time.
This is almost equivalent to restricting Xiao Lang's position to death!
Unless Xiao Lang can ensure that a certain part of his body can continue to be in focus during the process of moving, but obviously, it is even more difficult to rely on his body or arms instead of his feet.
So in the previous challenge, in fact, Xiao Lang also figured out, if he didn't stick to that overlapping area, there were still a few areas where he could stand on his feet and attract all the hatred, but he gave up because he was too limited in his position.
And now, in the face of such a situation, even if there are only eight sword spirits, Xiao Lang is very troubled.
He is not three heads and six arms, and the perspective is only two hundred degrees, in the case of the position being limited, Xiao Lang simulated it a few times in his heart, if it is only eight sword spirits, although he is not completely sure, he should have the strength to try, the worst, the strength to escape is still there.
