First win

Shen Lingshuang took Nangong Huangqi away, while Xiang Nanxing, as the winner, stayed where he was and waited for his round to start. Genius remembers the first three or five in a second

This is the first time he has won a duel in this "Dark Forest" game. As a bonus, he gains the right to continue exploring his current location and interrupt his rhythm by herding his opponent into a place that is completely unfamiliar to him.

But that's about it.

Xiang Nanxing's two shots were only past the opponent's side, and although they could be regarded as successful attacks, they actually failed to cause any real damage at all, unlike the bullets that the opponent had poured around his heart so far. He did win this round, earning himself a short respite, but it didn't help much with the disadvantage of the game, as long as the opponent did the same attack a few more times, he still had to kneel.

Of course, he didn't expect to make much of a difference with this victory, and he was satisfied with being able to pry a little bit into a one-sided situation. At least he has achieved the purpose he had in mind before making the move, that is, to show his strength to the other party, so that Nangong Huangqi knows that if he is serious, he also has a way to hit the target, and he can not only be beaten unilaterally.

Of course, in terms of results, it is only scratching the surface. But for Xiang Nanxing, it is already of great significance to be able to rub it.

In that dead end just now, Xiang Nanxing once recalled what Shen Lingshuang had said at the beginning. Unlike Nangong Huangqi, who insisted that this was a heart refining game and focused his efforts on pursuit from the beginning, Xiang Nanxing believed from the beginning that live ammunition must exist in one of these rooms, because what the host said was absolutely correct. They may sometimes play on words to lead the player to ambiguity in understanding, but when it comes to the unfancy binary question of "yes" and "no", the moderator always talks the talk.

The bullet that could turn the tide is indeed present in this area.

And in his predictions, it is quite possible that this is not just ordinary live ammunition. Shen Lingshuang's original words in the introduction were like this: "There is only one room with real live ammunition, and if you use that shot, as long as you hit the vital point, it is enough to kill you on the spot." Whoever can find this will undoubtedly have an absolute advantage in the encounter. ”

She said, "As long as you hit the vital point, it is enough to kill you on the spot", which is a hint of the great power of the bullet frontal attack. However, if this is all there is to it, it is only valuable to those who are sure to hit their opponents. When she said this, she should have known that although Xiang Nanxing has a certain shooting background, he is just an ordinary person after all, and it is impossible for him to have any shooting training opportunities. The last time he touched a gun was on a desert island, it was just a matter of luck. If you want to shoot head-on with the killer, his marksmanship is undoubtedly not enough.

But she also said that if she finds live ammunition, "she will have an absolute advantage in the encounter".

Xiang Nanxing guessed that this should be a hint at the particularity of live ammunition. If you hit the vital point, it is enough to kill on the spot, then if you hit other non-critical parts, it will at least have a large enough effect, so that you can be qualified to be called an absolute advantage. If you think about it this way, the most likely situation is that it is poisonous. The poison on the surface of the bullet is enough to kill people instantly, and even if it just grazes, as long as it causes damage, the toxin on it is enough to seriously affect the opponent's actions and establish an advantage on this side.

He originally planned to make Nangong Huangqi aware of this through the hints between words after he was hit, so that he would be somewhat afraid and even hesitate when facing him. This is also a type of psychological warfare. However, what I didn't expect was that the other party not only thought of it earlier, but also bluntly said the idea behind it, which was above board, but it was also equivalent to showing determination.

Xiang Nanxing suddenly found that his move seemed to have forced his opponent to become serious. If it was said that Nangong Huangqi was just thinking about completing the tasks assigned by the family before, and by the way, giving his eldest brother anger or something, he never really put his opponent in his eyes. So now he really treats Xiang Nanxing as a strong enemy of the same level as himself. Just when he left, Xiang Nanxing could feel that his concentration and momentum were completely different from before.

On the contrary, Xiang Nanxing was confused and didn't know what to do now.

His intuition told him that it was very dangerous to let the people of the Nangong family approach this dead end. This is an outlier in the entire game area, Shen Lingshuang probably brought him here on the verge of despair just now, there should be another deep meaning behind it, but he hasn't realized it at this time. But it's different for a snake like Nangong Huangqi, especially as he said later, he had done similar cultivation here several times before this, maybe he knew the mystery of this dead end. If he finds this place, the consequences could be severe. This is also why Xiang Nanxing would rather expose his hole cards than win this one.

But he held this place and drove the other party away, so what was the use? He still couldn't see through the mystery of Nangong Huangqi repeatedly finding people as if he had opened a map, so it wouldn't be long before that guy suddenly appeared in front of his eyes again.

When the time comes, how much more can this trick "ricocheting shot" play?

"I can only walk and find the reason at the same time." He said to himself, "Even if we encounter again, it can't be in this place, and we have to be prepared to lose the next duel." ”

He laid out a different mark from before, marking this place as the most important place so far, and then took a deep look at the door where Shen Lingshuang and the others had left, and walked towards the other door without looking back. After starting again, his exploration path swayed from side to side, seemingly spontaneously, but in order not to let his opponent easily find the pattern. He knew that Shen Lingshuang would take people as far away as possible in this round, so in the first two exploration rounds, he simply gave up those reconnaissance moves, and used his fastest speed to go through the various rooms, trying to find the live ammunition he urgently needed from inside.

But he couldn't find even one.

From the third round switch, Xiang Nanxing's pace of progress slowed down significantly, and was replaced by a preoccupied vigilance. He was able to move forward in the first two rounds, and Nangong Huangqi was mostly tracking, but Xiang Nanxing could only rely on a vague sense of direction to walk as far as possible, and Nangong Huangqi, as the chasing party, could directly take a shortcut, so that the efficiency of the two sides would be high, and after these two rounds, the straight-line distance would probably not be too far. If Nangong Huangqi came over directly as if he had opened his eyes like before, then the time for their next meeting would not be too far away.

Ten have, the time of this encounter is after Xiang Nanxing's thirty seconds are over, in Nangong Huangqi's round.

"Whew, what should come will come."

Xiang Nanxing saw that the countdown was about to end, so he stood in the center of the room before darkness fell, and set up a posture to meet the attack. He was a little particular about his position, not standing in the center as before, but leaning slightly in the direction he had come. In this way, although the warning range on the other side will be weakened, if the enemy is chasing from behind, you will be able to detect the presence of the opponent one step earlier than the central position.

Judging from the experience of the previous encounters, the direct pursuit from the back accounted for the overwhelming majority, and he gambled that although it was a little safe, it was not too risky.

Only this time a small gamble is meaningless. When the light came back to Xiang Nanxing, he noticed that the doors around him were intact, and he had not seen the equipment temporarily open in the process, that is, the other party had not been able to get close to the range within six meters of him.

It's literally a time of exploration that falls from the sky. Xiang Nanxing cautiously continued in the direction he had previously made. He was still a little apprehensive when he opened the first door, wondering if his opponent had predicted his whereabouts, and went straight to the front to wait for him, but it turned out that it was just his unfounded worries. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no encounter in this round, he quickly explored four more rooms and collected a few bullets to replenish his firepower reserves.

It's just that he still couldn't find the live ammunition he wanted most.

After surviving the third round, the fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds, and continued until the tenth round, Xiang Nanxing had already explored a large area, and at the end of each round, he felt that his opponent should be close and prepared, but it never came in handy. Nangong Huangqi seemed to be sucked into a different dimensional space, let alone a meeting, not even a chance to be in an adjacent room, and Xiang Nanxing's VR equipment had never been activated outside of his own turn during the whole process.

"What's going on?"

The sudden time of peace made Xiang Nanxing a little suspicious.

"Luck isn't impossible, but I don't believe it." He analyzed, "In these ten rounds, I have explored a large area, and several times I have walked to the room that has obviously been explored, that is, the room that I or he has been to, and the coverage area is quite good. Most of the time he will not stay where he is, but will move. Even if it's a random walk, the probability of us encountering it is not low, and it won't be that we haven't approached even once until now. ”

"Is he trying to avoid me? If you can track me down somehow, it's easy to get out of the way. "But the problem is, he doesn't have that motive." He believes that live ammunition is just a tool to make people distracted, and he also knows that as long as they continue to hit the vital parts, they can kill people. In this case, it is impossible for him to give up his still existing advantage in shooting, and risk being picked up by me to compete with me to see who can find live ammunition first. Even if he only has special bullets on hand, he should prioritize using those things to decide the winner......"

Regardless of the good luck that has a very small chance, and the subjective willingness of the opponent to avoid the battle, then the rest ......

Is it someone who prevents him from getting closer to him?

But as the host, Shen Lingshuang can't do this kind of thing. At most, she took people to a far place and distanced herself, but ten rounds of time was definitely enough for Nangong Huangqi to rush over.

"So, who else can ......?"

Xiang Nanxing's gaze accidentally swept over a door in front of him, and suddenly stopped moving. The door was now tightly closed, and it was only when the handle was pulled down that it was possible to open it or if it was locked.

Locked......

These three words flashed repeatedly in Xiang Nanxing's mind.

He froze.
