Chapter 10: Underwater Combat
After taking a short lunch break at the bottom of the river, Vitruvius continued on his way, knowing that he had a mission called the Shadow Hand Thieves' Guild, and that he could only take a slow walk at the bottom of the Jinke River.
Anyway, if you go all the way down the Jinke River, you can get to Aktamu City, and the mission target is that the anaconda is also in the water, what Vitruvius thinks is that he should not take the lead at all, and directly kill the anaconda and let the shadow hand think that he has drowned in the river, and all the problems will be solved.
They can't go to trouble the dead.
In order to successfully advance to become a professional, Vitruvius has been engaged in mining, iron, moving stones since he was a child, and he can't swim, and rarely touches rivers, but fortunately, he awakens his spell-like skills and breathes underwater.
He is really breathing, but not through the mouth and nose but through the pores of the skin, the skin pores of the whole body open in the water, in the water his skin is more sensitive, he can feel some small particles in the water into the body, and then the body spits out some small micro-minutes, through the skin to achieve a kind of exchange.
One in and one out, it is one breath and one breath.
Vitruvius felt extremely laborious after a period of time in the water, but he had 7 points of strength, and Vitruvius felt that trekking at the bottom of the river was ten times more difficult than moving on land, and the resistance of the water was great, and the bottom of the river was mostly sand and silt.
Often a foot falls into it and falls down directly, but fortunately, the underwater resistance is extremely large, and falling down is also like sliding.
The movement must not be too fast, otherwise the resistance of the water will be great, so Vitruvius walks very slowly.
As a shield warrior who has been fighting the Wanderer for a long time, the advantages and disadvantages of the Wanderer are arguably the profession that Vitruvius knows best, at this time, he moves through the water like a dumb crab, and can't help but think that if the Wanderer enters the water to fight, then their advantage of high agility and speed will also be lost.
The fish swimming beside him gave Vitruvius great interest, and from time to time he reached out to catch the fish around him, but found that the stronger the force, the faster the speed, the more difficult it was to catch.
Fish in the water move very little, but swim very fast, perhaps because of the small amplitude and therefore the resistance is small.
The range of movement should not be too large, it should be as small as a fish, and it should be appropriate.
The greater the range of movement, the more power is wasted, and the agitated current will in turn push the fish away, allowing the fish to borrow their own power.
Vitruvius began to imitate them, to learn their exertion techniques, and before I knew it, I forgot the time, the hardships of the journey...
When you are hungry, catch crabs directly at the bottom of the river, and use up to 7 points of strength to directly remove the crab shell and suck the crab roe.
Thirsty. Belch.. You won't be thirsty underwater.
On the first day, Vitruvius could not touch the fish;
The next day, you can touch but can't catch it, and the fish can be rowed away with a simple swing in the water.
On the third day, Vitruvius gave up catching fish, and he had to work in a more basic direction.
The longer Vitruvius spent in the water, the more he could feel the changes in his skin, and he used his skin to feel the flow of water, to feel the subtle changes in the water, to feel the flow of power in the water.
Vitruvius no longer shoots at the fish, but feels the buoyancy of the water, the pressure of the water, the resistance of the water, the help of the water, with his increasing affinity for the water, he moves faster and faster at the bottom of the river, although he still looks like a big crab, but he is a floating, light big crab, the crab legs can fly sideways with a slight lift, he relies on the buoyancy of the water and the propulsion of the current, and moves at a speed comparable to trotting on land and effortlessly.
Ten days later, Vitruvius entered the moat of Aktamu from the Jinke River, and then entered the canal of the city from the moat.
。。。。。。
The city of Aktamu is sunny, the canals in the city are busy, the river is crossed by light boats, the big boats are loaded with goods, the waves are shining, and the water is clear and clear.
Beneath the canal is a different story.
The dark river bottom and the bright water surface are intertwined with light and darkness, and the scales and scales of the water are reflected down, making the underwater world like a fairy tale.
In the dark, one hand, five fingers open and stretched at will, fluttering like aquatic plants with the fluctuations of the water current.
A small fish swims close, the five fingers seem to have a sense, a slight pinch, the fish is pinched in the hand, no matter how the fish bounces can not leave, the hand is loosened, the five fingers are naturally stretched again, the fish swims away, no injury at all.
In the dark, with his eyes closed, Vitruvius was already able to perceive his surroundings with the flow of water, and the texture of the water could easily reach the perception of blind warfare, which was only possible on land for a wanderer of the transcendent level.
Man is in darkness, and there is light over his head.
Dancing the sword under the river Vitruvius, one move and one style are all the tactical movements of the shield sword warrior, but there are differences, the biggest difference is the rhythm, there is a rhythm of water, slow, stretching, only in a small amplitude as fast as electricity.
People are in the abyss, and their hearts are towards the light.
The underwater world is quiet, lonely, lonely, and safe.
Yes, it's safe! There will be no sneak attacks here, wanderers, rangers, spellcasters, including the biggest threat in this section of the canal, the giant anaconda.
That's right, it's the anacond, and as soon as it arrived at the canal of Aktam, Vitruvius spotted it, stretching its body nearly 20 meters long, floating in the pelagic waters of the canal.
It seems that the anaconda only moves in pelagic waters, it is too large and too buoyant.
Diving to the bottom of the river is also physically demanding for it.
Vitruvius, on the other hand, was dressed in iron armor, iron shield, and steel sword, and his buoyancy was far less than gravity, so he could only sink in the darkness at the bottom of the river, like an assassin. Calmly gaze at the enemy in the light.
Calmly and calmly observe the enemy, analyze its weaknesses, and deliver a fatal blow at the moment when it is most intended.
。。。。。。
At four o'clock in the morning, the darkest time before dawn, in the slums of Aktam City, several gang members threw a corpse into the canal, and the smell of blood infected the canal.
Feeling the smell of rust coming from his skin, Vitruvius knew that someone had thrown another corpse, and after a few days, Vitruvius had learned that the food source of this giant anaconda was the human corpses that had died at the hands of the gangsters.
It doesn't need to hunt for food, it just waits quietly for humans to kill each other.
The giant anaconda is not harmful to Aktamu City, it is just a tool for destroying corpses. Because of this, it has survived to this day and has become the legend of Aktamu City.
Today Vitruvius has decided to make a move, as the anaconda will temporarily lose one of its powerful weapons.
The anaconda opened its huge mouth, bit down on half of the corpse with one mouth, and began to swallow.
Vitruvius jumped up from the bottom of the river with a sword in both hands, and with the buoyancy of the water, he stabbed into the abdomen of the anaconda with a sword, and the anaconda writhed wildly in the water.
At this time, the most powerful weapon of the anaconda was its snake mouth, but it could not be used to attack Vitruvius, it was holding half a human corpse, and it could not swallow it or spit it out.
It was this that Vitruvius discovered and made a bold sneak attack.
A sword pierced the abdomen of the anaconda and cut a huge opening, but as soon as the anaconda was forced, its muscles contracted violently, and its wound was no longer bleeding.
Tremendous pressure came from all directions, and Vitruvius's eyes, ears, nose and nose began to bleed, and even the pores of his skin oozed blood.
The blood soaked through his clothes, and the beast soul order around his waist sucked Vitruvius's blood into the token along with the blood of the anaconda floating in the river.
Vitruvius desperately held the long sword with both hands, and continued to use his strength to break open the wound, no matter how strong the snake body was, it was not impossible to grab the knife, but the strength of the anaconda was amazing, the muscles tightened and clamped the blade, and the snake body wrapped around Vitruvius's sword-holding arms, and the long sword was difficult to continue to work, at this time, it had become a scene of one person and one snake wrestling.
One person and one snake are entangled to death.
The anachon formed a giant ball of snakes and rolled in the canal.
They were already fighting close to the riverbank, and the anaconda was attacked from the water, which made the anaconda feel great panic when it had always regarded the bottom of the water as a safe shelter, and it instinctively wanted to stay away from the river and use its advantage as a sacrificial animal to kill the underwater creature that attacked it.
When the anaconda rolled ashore, three city guards, four or five gangsters, and two bold passers-by drew their whiteboard weapons, long swords, scimitars, and hook and sickles, and beckoned to the snake.
In a moment, the meat sauce is flying.
Anaconda can only roll into the canal at a faster rate.
Snake strangulation can empty the lung cavity of the prey, suffocating it to death, but after Vitruvius obtained the spell-like skill of underwater breathing, he relied on the skin to breathe in the water, not the lung cavity, and with the addition of Vitruvius's up to 6 points of physical strength, its damage tolerance and ability to withstand fatal damage were greatly enhanced, in numerical terms, the blood bar was thick.
Of course, the anaconda's blood bar is thicker, its strength is stronger, and its attributes alone have even surpassed the warriors of the conjunct period, if the two insist on fighting in the water, it must be Vitruvius who will die, but the anaconda rolled ashore in the fight, causing a round and chopping, and directly cut the giant anaphylla into a state of serious injury and anemia.
The vitality of the anaconda gradually disappeared, and Vitruvius went from being completely crushed to gradually having the power to resist in the confrontation of strength.
Under the pressure of life and death, the blood of the tide giant rushed and roared in Vitruvius's body, and the new power was endless, and the bright red blood was flooded with gold threads, and the gold threads were entangled with each other in the galloping bloodlines, gradually forming a new blood imprint.
The bloodline mark is full of strength and unyielding meaning, and it is the mark of strength.
After the power imprint is formed, it immediately disappears into the depths of the bloodline.
At this point, Vitruvius had already risen to a small level, which was +1 strength according to the temple's standards.
Vitruvius's strength soared, and he turned the hilt of his sword to slash the snake's body.
The serpent's body is broken.
What Vitruvius didn't notice was that when he slashed off the snake's body, the phantom of a water snake gradually appeared on the beast soul order around his waist.
