Chapter 14: Turning Back
After an unharmed attack, the mercenaries were clearly more vigilant. Even Su Mu and the others, who fell far away at the end, were asked to move closer to the carriage.
However, at this time, Su Mu no longer cared about this.
The previous attacks of the bandits had only been dispersed in an instant. But at the same moment, Su Mu, who had been waiting for everyone to show his fighting skills, had already had some definite gains.
The twin brothers who had struck into the bandits, the reason why they were able to roam through the crowd so comfortably as if they were in a no-man's land.
The fundamental reason for this is that both of them are in control of some kind of small character third-order body method.
And this kind of small-character third-order body technique, Su Mu had actually seen it before, and it was clearly the body fighting technique called Turnback Step when Allen countered the bandit leader.
And the reason why Su Mu did not understand this body method is also because Alan has used it too little after all, and Su Mu has not yet remembered the basic characteristics of this fighting technique, so it is naturally difficult to analyze it privately.
But at this moment, this dilemma no longer exists.
The two twin brothers from before were almost incisive, demonstrating this fighting skill over and over again, and Su Mu had already engraved it deeply in his mind.
If it weren't even for Han Jun still by his side, Su Mu probably wouldn't have been able to wait to conduct the experiment.
......
However, Su Mu's expectation did not wait too long.
After another half-day trip, the sunset on the horizon had just been swallowed up by the earth, and the archer in the five-man squad immediately raised the need to stop.
Although the Qi power carriage is an expensive vehicle, it is obvious that there are Qi lamps hanging in front of it for illumination, even if it is not a problem to drive in the night.
But the archer, who was the scout, knew that he could not give a good warning in the dark.
Even the archers' proposal, even the twins, who were faintly opposed to the five-man team, were equally cautious in their support.
In this case, no matter what kind of instructions the driver of the carriage was directed by the old man, he did not dare to state his true purpose after all, and could only silently agree to the proposal to be stationed immediately.
As the order to garrison was issued, everyone immediately chose an open space with a good view, quickly lit a bonfire in the center of the clearing, and took out the dry food they carried and began to eat.
Seeing this, Su Mu hurriedly finished eating the food.
Then, while affirming that he could give priority to acting as a vigilance, he had already gone to a place dozens of meters away from the crowd, and immediately practiced his fighting skills alone.
Regarding Su Mu's move, the twin brother team, which was already vaguely rejecting others, naturally would not express any opinions.
As long as Su Mu does not approach the goods without permission, they will not interfere with Su Mu's other behaviors.
As for the rest of these people, including Han Jun, even though they would be surprised that Su Mu was too diligent, they would not think deeply after all.
After all, from the perspective of this world, it is almost impossible to steal fighting skills.
As long as you don't understand the essence of fighting skills, you can't understand the skills of its capacity.
And the core keys of fighting skills are often a kind of anomalies that are completely different from conventional logic.
Therefore, as far as ordinary low-level fighters are concerned, no matter how skilled they are at the fighting skills they have mastered, it is completely impossible to predict what will become in the next stage.
Therefore, for Su Mu, who had neither a strong man to guide him, nor had the money to buy fighting skill cheats, the mercenaries were really too lazy to pay extra attention.
......
And the mercenaries didn't care, but it happened to be Su Mu's most ideal state.
After pretending to compare a few rounds of four-color swordsmanship, and seeing that the mercenaries had begun to rest or guard on their own, and no one paid attention to their own situation, Su Mu stopped this meaningless practice.
And at this time, Su Mu was still extremely vigilant, and quietly walked behind a low bush.
Then he slowly put away his heavy sword and began his long-brewing experiment.
Although the height of the bush itself was not enough to completely cover Su Mu's figure, the upper half of his body was still in everyone's sight.
But at this time, Su Mu's waist down was completely covered by shadows, making it impossible to see his steps at all.
This also happened to perfectly cover up the body fighting skills that Su Mu was about to practice.
I saw that Su Mu tried his best to keep his upper body as usual, but his feet had already stepped on the rhythm in his mind, and began to draw the same trajectory with his footsteps in the way of the twin brothers.
And about the essence of this turnaround, in fact, Su Mu had already had some kind of speculation.
And what I saw today confirmed Su Mu's speculation.
The content of the lower grades of the primary school textbook, and the characteristic of regular turns, the only thing Su Mu could think of was...... The theorem of the parallelogram!
There is no doubt that the so-called "switchback step" is a fighting technique born out of the parallelogram in the real world.
The method of using the switchback step is to construct a quadrangular shape with one's own qi under the feet, as long as the user is within the range of the quadrilateral, he can quickly step on the four corners and wander freely.
And the biggest characteristic of the parallelogram is that as long as the length and width are equal, the area must be the same.
Therefore, as long as the user of the switchback step itself has the same amount of Qi output to the soles of the feet, no matter how the quadrilateral shape of the soles of the feet changes, the stable operation of the switchback steps can still be maintained.
To a certain extent, this has both the deception of the enemy and the foresight of oneself, so that one can comfortably shuttle through the enemy group in the chaos.
......
With Su Mu in his mind, he restored the characteristics of the turnaround step little by little.
A trace of Qi energy was slowly gathered on the tips of Su Mu, and he silently constructed the two-dimensional figure of the "mystery".
And with Su Mu's repeated attempts, he finally built a stable quadrilateral.
A strange feeling of rules and regulations immediately descended on Su Mu's body.
There is no doubt that from this moment on, the upper limit of the shackles in Su Mu's body has been quietly shattered.
In the next time, Su Mu only needed to keep repeating the exercises, and he would soon be able to stabilize in the realm of the third order of small characters.
Seeing this, Su Mu couldn't care about the joy, and immediately took a turnaround step, and began to gather the Yuan Qi in the heaven and earth through the tempering of fighting skills.
But it was also just before Su Mu had just used his fighting skills, and he hadn't even had time to experience his speed.
A sharp blade poking out of the shadows suddenly pierced Su Mu's eyes at a very tricky angle.
If it weren't for the current Su Mu, with the turnaround step under his feet, he would have avoided this extremely insidious stab in the abrupt and bizarre turn.
I am afraid that Su Mu at this time is already a lifeless corpse.
After all, Su Mu still underestimated their employer.
Even though the mercenaries had been cautious about staying up at night, the employer had used some unknown method to attract a more aggressive group of attackers.
So at this moment, Su Mu, who knew the whole story in an instant, couldn't tolerate the slightest hesitation after avoiding the attack in front of him.
A sharp roar used as a warning quickly bloomed from Su Mu's mouth in an instant.
And with the sound of this roar, the hand-to-hand battle in the night finally kicked off.
