Chapter 029: Swordsmanship
(What, it's Monday, as usual, this is the time to rush the list, we don't recommend it, so students will vote a few more to support it, thank you.) )
Just when Hu Zihua and the three of them rushed to the Fengyun Island Market, Fang Hao and Zitong were not idle.
Fang Hao made two more hunting knives out of cast iron, and with the original one, he now had a total of three knives stuck in his body.
"Let's go, Zitong, you will be my bodyguard again today, and we will kill zombies."
In just a few days, Zitong and Fang Hao had changed a lot when they saw her, their faces that were slightly thin due to malnutrition were much more rosy, and after she sorted out her backpack, she stood in front of Fang Hao like a little soldier.
"Yes! Brother Hao! ”
With three more competitors, Zitong will have to perform well in the future, so as not to lose his position.
When he arrived in the wild, Fang Hao told Zitong that she only needed to protect him by the side, not to let him be besieged by several zombies at the same time, and to kill zombies, only Fang Hao needed to do it himself.
Fang Hao was about to start practicing swordsmanship.
Now Fang Hao's only archery skills are okay, but his melee ability is a big shortcoming.
Don't say that he is compared with Zitong, even if he is compared with Ye Xiaomin, he is far inferior.
When fighting with the corpses the day before yesterday, Fang Hao also saw Ye Xiaomin's melee ability, which was very powerful, and the sword was fast and ruthless, Fang Hao sighed to himself.
As the boss, he will only shoot arrows from a distance, which is a bit embarrassing to say, and in many unexpected situations, it takes several steps to take out the crossbow first, then pull the string, then load the arrow, and finally aim, and sometimes it is too late at all.
Therefore, melee skills must be practiced, and this is Fang Hao's most reliable means of saving his life.
There are three melee skills in the system, one is swordsmanship, the second is blunt strike, and the third is competition.
Short swords, short swords, long swords, long swords, weapons that can slash and stab, all belong to swordsmanship.
Attacks with weapons such as wooden clubs, maces, and hammers are blunt strikes.
Athleticism is the ability to fight with bare hands.
Needless to say, Fang Hao definitely gave preference to swordsmanship as a melee skill.
The blunt weapon was eliminated by Fang Hao because it was inconvenient to carry, the attack frequency was low, and each blow required more strength.
Athletics? Where can you hold a sharp weapon with bare hands, and the attack power is definitely not as good as swordsmanship.
In addition to these, there is a more important reason.
When you reach level 40, you will automatically unlock a powerful weapon, the Nepalese Machete, the king of melee combat.
Nepalese machete, the official name should be the Gurkha saber, because of its shape like a dog's hind leg, commonly known as the dog's leg knife, since it is the national knife of Nepal, so most of them call it Nepalese knife.
Nepalese knives are recognized in the world as the most mechanically recurved knives, with very strong attack power and very easy to use.
Fang Hao looked at the attribute introduction of this knife in the system and found that it had a 30% critical strike rate at the beginning, which was simply an artifact.
Each level of swordsmanship will increase by 2% of the attack power, and 0.5%% of the critical strike rate, if the swordsmanship is fully upgraded, plus the critical strike rate of the Nepalese knife itself, the overall critical strike rate is as high as 80%, and then almost the knife crit, cut to the zombie's head, knife headshot, a knife to a child, is no longer Fang Hao's childhood dream.
Now Fang Hao doesn't have a Nepalese knife in his hand, so he can only practice with a hunting knife first.
The two of them didn't dare to go to the bank of the Lujiang River the day before yesterday this time, hundreds of zombies, killing Fang Hao had a psychological shadow, today they went in the opposite direction, crossed the small bridge, and went to the northern plains, where the zombies were more scattered, which was the most suitable for Fang Hao to practice swordsmanship skills.
Since the end of the world, except for the first few zombies killed, Fang Hao has almost never fought with the zombies in close combat, so he is very careful to keep a certain distance from the zombies, and then sees the opportunity to slash at the zombie's head. If one slash doesn't work, then slash again, anyway, each time he slashes, his swordsmanship skills will gain some experience.
Seeing that the boss was so careful in killing zombies, Zitong didn't dare to relax, and kept following Fang Hao to cover him, and even stopped shooting her favorite pheasant when she saw it.
Zombies are not cats and dogs, being bitten is basically equivalent to saying goodbye to this world, so Fang Hao has to be careful.
"If only there were beakers." When Fang Hao slashed and killed the zombies, he was thinking about another thing in his mind.
With the beaker, he was able to make potions.
In the past few days, when killing zombies, he occasionally collects some weeds, which can not only get grass fibers, but also increase the experience of competitive skills, so he is idle, and he will scourge those innocent flowers and plants along the way.
When collecting grass fibers, some herbs are often collected in the wild grasses, which can be made into various potions on the campfire, some of which can cure diarrhea caused by drinking unclean and dirty water, and some can temporarily increase physical strength...... These are all minor illnesses and diseases, which are not to be feared, but some medicines can cure the zombie virus, which is very bullish.
If he had these potions, he would be able to bring him back to life even if he was accidentally bitten by a zombie.
But to make these potions, you need to use a beaker, and Fang Hao doesn't have a beaker now, so he can only develop obscenely now.
Close combat with zombies, the feeling of shooting from a distance is completely different, Fang Hao was not so afraid of zombies anymore, but seeing their ugly and terrifying faces up close, he was still a little frightened.
Predators are all killed in the corpse pile, and when they kill too much, they are naturally not afraid.
Fang Hao held a hunting knife in his hand, slaughtered one zombie after another, and when a hunting knife was blunt, he continued to chop it with another one......
After a whole day, I don't know how many zombies he killed, the crystal nucleus collected nearly a hundred, and by the time he was about to return in the afternoon, his swordsmanship had risen to the third level.
When he first leveled up, Fang Hao didn't feel much, and when he upgraded the second time, Fang Hao noticed the changes in his body.
"! And this effect? ”
After his swordsmanship had been upgraded by two levels, Fang Hao obviously felt that his movements were much more flexible, whether it was attacking or dodging, his speed had become faster and more agile.
Moreover, he is also more precise when he dispenses with his knife, and the hunting knife is easier to control and easier to use in his hands.
"Increasing the level of swordsmanship can actually improve my physical fitness in many ways? That's awesome, isn't it? ”
In fact, this is also expected, who has ever seen a swordsman's movements as slow as a snail? Aiming at the neck but stabbing someone in the nose?
After only two levels of promotion, Fang Hao's body had such a significant change, which made his heart warm up all of a sudden.
"How can you not practice such an ungodly skill! If I don't practice this skill, I'm sorry for myself! ”
But at this time, it was already early, and it would be too late if he didn't go back, so Fang Hao had to take Zitong to rush home.
When they arrived home, the three of Hu Zihua, who had traveled a long day, also happened to come back.
