Chapter 8 Revisiting the Old Path
A few hours later, a panting Su Yun jumped off the back of a sturdy cavalryman.
From Liu Bei's military camp to the location of Huarong Daokou, it was at least a day's journey, and with his horseback riding speed, it was impossible to arrive in an afternoon and a night.
So Zhuge Liang called him an elite cavalryman, sent him a good horse, and then asked this cavalry to send him here.
Although he was not the one who drove the horse, he was still very uncomfortable at the moment after eating the afternoon wind behind him, at least there was an extra negative state of "moderate wind chill" on his status bar.
Moderate Wind Chill: Reduces movement speed by 20% and attack speed by 20%, and reduces attack damage by 10%.
Su Yun took a deep breath, this time it was around midnight, and both of them were hungry at the moment.
Along the way, Su Yun also seriously asked the elite cavalry for some tips on horseback riding.
According to the arrangement of Doomsday Space, it is very likely that he will often encounter those worlds where horses are the main means of transportation in the future, and the ability to ride horses is very important to him.
The cavalryman also answered all questions, in general, riding skills are still linked to physique, if you want to be proficient in horsemanship, you will definitely not be able to have a good physique.
However, some basic riding skills can still be mastered with his weak physique now.
Since both of them were in a hurry, they didn't leave Su Yun time to practice their riding skills, but after listening to the explanation of the elite cavalryman, Doomsday Space still gave a hint.
"No. 1303 has opened up the riding ability through communication with the plot characters, and it is currently level 1 of basic riding, so please get a higher level of riding skills by practicing and asking the plot characters for advice."
At the same time, Su Yun also felt that his movements on the horse had become more flexible, no longer as cramped as before, and he was not so uncomfortable with the bumps brought by the horses.
He took a closer look at his stats panel, and found a D-level riding mastery under the ability mastery column.
D-Rank Riding Mastery: Gains a 50% movement speed bonus when riding a horse.
The two of them sat in the dense forest at the fork in front of Huarong Road and ate some dry food together.
Neither of them said anything, but in Su Yun's opinion, there seemed to be something wrong with this person, and the non-main characters in this trial world all gave people a sense of unreality.
If you really want to say it, these people are a bit like elementary artificial intelligence, with simple logical thinking skills, and lack real feelings.
Except for Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Ma Executioner, who are the main figures who are necessary and important to him, the others are more or less sluggish and clumsy in all aspects.
This may be a manifestation of the reduced difficulty of the trial task, if he is really put into the ancient battlefield, I am afraid that with his attributes, he will be eaten to the point that there is no scum left.
Truth be told, even if the difficulty is lowered, the elimination rate of newbies in this world is just as terrifying.
Although there is no guarantee that all potential people will be selected, anyone who can pass the trial task must be someone who meets the space requirements, at least the survivability is enough to pass the test.
In this way, survivability is the most important ability in the doomsday space, and other layout planning, combat and fighting, are only secondary abilities.
Now there were about eight or nine hours left before the time when he would meet Cao Cao, and during this time, if he didn't do something, it always felt a bit wasted.
It should be impossible for them to have leisure in the apocalyptic space. Of course, he has a reason to sleep first and recharge his energy so that he can play better after dawn.
However, with the experience of the first two times, he felt that sleeping was too much of a luxury, and there was still a lot to think about in his plan.
These eight or nine hours, even if he used all of them to improve the exploration of the world, should not be able to reach 10%.
This 10% world exploration should be a level that is never easy to achieve.
Otherwise, many people just need to take the initiative to avoid risks, and then delay the accumulation of time to improve the exploration of the world, and there is no need to take risks at all.
Judging from Su Yun's previous experiences, it will never be possible to complete the main quest without actively participating in the plot.
He organized what he wanted to say when he met Cao Cao, then thought about whether there were flaws in it, and then prepared to explain them one by one.
He had already been in contact with Cao Cao last time, and this time was not much different from the last time.
After Cao Cao saw him, it was impossible for him to directly recognize him as Liu Beifang's meticulous work, and then shout and kill, as long as he behaved no different from last time.
It's not easy to have a late night in the field, in order to really show the appearance of a down-and-out soldier.
It was impossible for him to ask Zhuge Liang for a set of cotton clothes, and the biting cold made him only feel shivering even if he was in a ball.
But fortunately, he had such an experience last time, and although it was uncomfortable to survive a night like this, he would lose nearly half of his health in the cold, and he would suffer from the negative state of a moderate cold.
However, these are not fatal, they may be a kind of ordeal arranged for them by the doomsday space, and the judgment and action at the critical moment are the focus of the doomsday space trial.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Yun still didn't plan to exhaust the rest of his time here, so he raised his steps and began to walk towards the vicinity of Huarong Road.
Although this place was already very close to his destination, it was not the last time he met Cao Cao.
What he had to do now was simple, and that was to go back to the place where he had last met Cao Cao. As long as everything goes according to his expectations, he is sure that everything will follow.
Walking in the dark was a very difficult thing, especially in the mountains and forests, and the first time he died was when he was in the wilderness.
Out of fear of poisoned snakes in the forest, he would rather take a long road, and he must take a flat and empty road instead of burrowing into those dense forests.
The stars in the sky were clear, completely different from the polluted world he knew, and he could easily find the North Star and the Big Dipper, even in the dark of night.
Three hours later, he walked to the place where he had met Cao Cao before, and he lay flat on the ground, recovering his strength while observing the world.
The first two times, it was too much of a rush, and he simply didn't have time to think about the world carefully.
He was already dead, but he didn't expect to get another chance, he stroked the rough sand on the ground, and the faint smell of soil in the air was no different from what he knew before, not even the biting cold.
He thought of his parents at home, who had worked so hard to raise him so big.
The news of his sudden death was bound to be a huge blow to the two old men. But no matter how sad you are, there is no way to undo what happened.
Maybe in the apocalyptic space, he can find a way to return to the original world, his parents have pensions, and life should not be a problem.
Thinking of this, he really wanted to give himself a cigarette, although he didn't smoke before, but he felt that every time he thought of his relatives and friends after his death, he couldn't help but worry about his heart, and then wanted to anesthetize himself in various ways.
Maybe that's how those who smoke.
He used to be particularly unaccustomed to smoking, but now from such an angle, this is just a simple mental paralysis, when a person is under pressure, he really needs such a way to relax himself.
Men, how much they carry on their backs, only their own hearts know.
He took a deep breath and thought carefully.
The plot world of the Battle of Red Cliffs where he is now is a complete world or a virtual world.
Is there also an endless starry sky here, and there is also a vast universe? From the starry sky, this is a complete world, and although it has been simplified in many places, it is indeed a complete world.
It would be incredible to say that this apocalyptic space could really create a space that is infinite for hundreds of trillions of light-years.
I don't know if this apocalyptic space is a high-tech product or a mythical product, the existence of this kind of thing, human beings have survived for so many years and have not discovered it.
Time passed, and the night did not change at all, it was still dark as far as the eye could see.
He also didn't hear the sound of horses' hooves or the shaking of the ground from beneath him. He was tired when he began to lie down, but after lying down for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, he didn't feel so sleepy anymore, and he shrunk into a ball to minimize the cold wind.
Although the time was difficult, it finally passed, and Su Yun, who was wrapped in drowsiness, cold, and tiredness, stood up from the ground tremblingly, and then moved his hands and feet.
At this moment, he could already feel the arrival of the army led by Cao Cao from the shaking of the ground under his feet.
"That kid in front, stop, the prime minister has something to ask you."
As expected, Cao Cao saw him at a glance with a somewhat obscene figure, knocked the guards beside him with the back of his knife, and motioned for him to call Su Yun over.
A strong guard kept him out of Cao Cao's way, "Just stand here and ask questions." ”
Cao Cao raised his horsewhip a little panting, pointed at Su Yun and shouted: "Look at your clothes, you should be from our army, why are you here?" ”
"Back to the prime minister, under the order of the battalion commander in the camp, go to the rear to deliver the letter, who knows that after sending the letter, found that the shore is on fire, and then rushed to the base camp, on the way I heard that the camp tents along the road are all the orders to retreat, the small one did not dare to delay, so he quickly retreated, planning to go to General Cao Ren to report the news. But the little one lost his horse and drove for a long time, but he was caught up by the prime minister. ”
His words were a little different from before, after all, he was different from the last time, he didn't ride a horse.
Cao Cao, as last time, looked at him suspiciously, then asked a few innocuous questions, and then shouted:
"Are you familiar with the geography of this area?"
"Back to the prime minister, my subordinates happened to have a map of the neighborhood with them when they delivered the letter, but I didn't expect it to be useful now."
Su Yun changed his tone slightly, and then sent the map up, Cao Cao didn't show a look of surprise after getting the map, but squinted his eyes and stared at him.
"What is the name of your battalion commander, and which general is under the command, report quickly."
"The small one is from the reserve battalion under General Feng Kai, and the battalion commander is an adult surnamed Ma, known as Ma Hangman, what is the specific name, and the small one is not clear."
This question and answer had already gone through his mind countless times, and he feigned a little fear, and then replied in a firm tone.
Cao Cao frowned and shouted behind him, "General Feng Kai, is General Feng Kai here?" ”
