Chapter 9: Trouble and Business
Everything in the illusion instantly froze and returned to its original state.
Zhao Haiping touched his neck with palpitations.
"Something's wrong, the bow horse is skilled in this skill, and it doesn't seem to have a melee sword bonus......"
Zhao Haiping found that he seemed to be pitted by the talent skill again, and the skill of the bow horse did make him shoot quite well at the beginning, but he was blinded when he reached the melee battle.
Moreover, the bow is skillful, and the horse is skillful with a hammer!
He's just a little archer defending the city, and he doesn't have a chance to ride a horse at all!
Forget it, change your talent skills and start over.
As for the historical background of this time, Zhao Haiping can locate the approximate dynasty, but the specific events are completely unguessable.
The soldiers were all wearing black armor, and they called themselves Great Chu, which must be the second great unified dynasty after Great Yan.
As for the location, the long yellow sand and holding on to the loess city should be a certain stage in resisting the Beidi barbarians.
According to his current shallow historical knowledge, at the end of the Yan Dynasty and the beginning of the Chu Dynasty, the Beidi barbarians unified the northern desert and grasslands, and then began to invade the northwest border of the Great Chu. Da Chu conquered several times, and all the Beidi barbarians fled into Mobei and failed to kill them all.
Later, the civil strife and national strength of Great Chu weakened, and the Beidi barbarians made a comeback again.
I just don't know at what point in time this war I have experienced.
But after thinking about it, even if he knew, it didn't mean much, he was just a cannon fodder on the city wall, and it was impossible for him to play a decisive role in the whole war, so thank God he could survive.
After Zhao Haiping thought about it for a while, he chose to keep the corpse mountain and the sea of blood and starvation, and replaced the skill of being proficient in the bow horse.
A blue light flashed.
[Non Knife Edge Licking Blood (Blue): In a close life-and-death battle, it is easier to maintain composure and defeat the enemy with one move. 】
Zhao Haiping couldn't help but perk up.
Great stuff!
Pure combat talent, and it's also a non-level blue skill.
Take it, those barbarian soldiers didn't cut it casually? If you don't take it, you're not human!
Zhao Haiping did not hesitate at all, and ordered it directly.
Time in the illusion began to flow again.
The scene in front is still much the same, the barbarian soldiers are struggling to attack, and the defenders of the city on the side of Dachu are also trying their best to kill the enemy.
This time, due to the lack of skillful skills of archers and horses, the few arrows shot by Zhao Haiping basically did not hit anyone, and only the barbarian was lucky to shoot a barbarian in the shoulder from top to bottom when he landed in the city at close range.
In fact, he originally wanted to shoot his head.
However, this is obviously not a big problem, after all, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, everyone's attention is on the enemy, and the hit rate of the bow and arrow is not very high, Zhao Haiping's few arrows did not attract too many people's attention.
In the blink of an eye, the barbarian soldiers were once again in front of them.
It's just that this time the barbarian soldiers are not the same person as the previous soldiers, it seems that only the initial state of the entire illusion is fixed, and then there will be a lot of randomness, because Zhao Haiping noticed that the actions of the other soldiers around him will be different every time, and this difference will be superimposed, making every battle different from before.
Seeing the barbarian's scimitar slashing over, Zhao Haiping hurriedly parried.
This time it's a different feeling than before!
The barbarian soldiers in front of him seemed to move a little slower, and Zhao Haiping could also feel that his brain was much clearer, and he was able to respond calmly, and find the flaws in the opponent's actions to counterattack.
And in the process of this kind of close-quarters cold weapon combat, catching a flaw may be the difference between life and death.
"Poof!"
The long knife in his hand pierced into the chest of the barbarian soldier, Zhao Haiping couldn't help but be overjoyed, the victory was simpler than he imagined.
Sure enough, the non-level blue talent is easy to use!
However, before he had time to rejoice, the barbarian soldier who had been pierced by the long knife gritted his teeth with a hideous face and threw him directly to the ground!
Zhao Haiping originally thought that the other party was already a dead man, but he didn't react at all, and it was already difficult to get out after being knocked down, and he was immediately hacked to death by two barbarian soldiers who followed him.
……
"Nima!
"I'm not convinced, come again!"
Zhao Haiping once again chose the talent of licking blood from the knife edge and started the trial again.
Obviously, he overestimated his own combat power and underestimated the ferocity of these barbarian soldiers.
In the previous copy, he controlled Nie Rang's body after all, and after mastering swordsmanship, he basically sealed his throat with a sword, although those red-armored guards also rushed up, but Zhao Haiping was basically able to deal with it calmly at first.
But this time he is just an ordinary soldier, he can't talk about any knife skills, even if he stabs the other party, he can't kill him with one blow, even if he has the blessing of the non-level blue talent, he will still overturn if he is not careful.
So, be steady, be cautious!
Zhao Haiping thought about it, he should have quickly drawn his knife and broke away just now, and he must not give the other party a chance to fight back.
Moreover, this is the battlefield, and survival is the first goal, so sometimes you can't rush too far ahead, once you fall into the encirclement, you will send it, or make more use of the other good brothers around you to retreat appropriately.
This is not called cowardice, this is called pulling.
The illusion began again, and soon entered the stage of melee combat at the head of the city again.
This time, Zhao Haiping learned smartly, with the effect of "licking blood from the knife edge", he fought back and forth with the barbarian soldiers, but even so, he would always be accidentally attacked by a barbarian soldier from behind, and then start all over again.
Zhao Haiping was very angry, these barbarian soldiers didn't talk about martial arts at all!
Many times, when he was engrossed in staring at the barbarian soldiers opposite, he suddenly rushed out of the other and cut him down.
However, although he still kept dying, Zhao Haiping still persevered and did not change to other trial copies.
Because this trial copy of the martial arts pawn is a bit similar to the other action games he played before.
Although he also suffers, he can at least find a way to improve himself, and he can feel that he is improving every time he dies.
And the death after death also made Zhao Haiping's level of close combat continue to improve.
……
Finally, I don't know how many battles it was.
Zhao Haiping finally began to become more comfortable.
Although there were several times when it was very thrilling and felt like it was 0.01 cm away from a violent death, I still persevered.
Of course, when he saw that the situation was wrong, he fought and retreated, and let the brothers around him take the top first, which was also an important reason why he was able to survive.
After dying a lot, it is natural to know where there will be danger and which direction will suddenly appear a few difficult barbarian soldiers, deliberately avoiding these dangers, properly staying behind the other brothers, and still successfully survived.
Zhao Haiping didn't know how long this battle lasted, but it shouldn't be too long, maybe about half an hour or so, the barbarian soldiers who climbed the city wall became fewer and fewer, and then the barbarians retreated.
"I ...... Passed?
"It's that simple?
"It's strange that I've died a dozen times before and after, why do I think it's so simple......
"Maybe it's because of how I feel after comparing it to the previous one."
Zhao Haiping felt a little unreal, compared to the previous copy of "Assassin King Killing", this copy of the martial arts is simply too easy, right?
Although there are a lot of deaths, but you can clear the level purely by sharpening your sword skills and sticking around?
It's much easier than honing your acting skills and eloquence.
As a result, he soon found that he was happy too soon.
Because after a fog filled his field of vision, he noticed that the scene around him had also changed!
It was just the first stage, and now it's the second stage!
It's still the same city, but the timeline is clearly different from before.
It seems that many of the walls of the earthen city have collapsed, and the original siege equipment has become much less, and the remaining ones are also showing signs of disrepair.
And what shocked Zhao Haiping the most was the age of the soldiers around him!
Originally, these soldiers were about the same age as Zhao Haiping, they should be about twenty years old, but now, their faces have wrinkles, and they all look like they are in their forties.
Look down at yourself again.
The saber in his hand had several gaps.
There are only a few arrows in the quiver.
The armor on his body also has many traces of repair, and there are many places that have not been repaired at all, and are already somewhat damaged.
Even several scars could be seen on his arms, and there should have been more on his body under the armor.
To make matters worse, after a bout of dizziness, he suddenly found himself empty, thirsty and hungry!
The game is obviously weakened by negative feelings, and it is estimated that it is only about 20% of the truth, otherwise the players will be estimated to die in the death after death.
But even the weakened state is equivalent to giving Zhao Haiping a very troublesome negative state, which makes him unspeakably uncomfortable.
Below the city wall, there are still Beidi barbarians.
However, at this time, these barbarians did not attack, but paid attention to the situation in the city in places where bows and arrows and catapults could not reach.
Like a vulture hovering over the head of a dying beast.
"What's the situation? Why am I so hungry and so thirsty?
"My body seems to have become a lot weaker."
Zhao Haiping felt that this dungeon was definitely not so easy to clear, but he thought that the way to increase the difficulty was at most to increase the number of barbarian soldiers or the change of the location of the battle, but he didn't expect this game to be so shameless, and it directly gave the player such an outrageous negative state.
With the increase of age and hunger, how much can the previous combat power be exerted?
What's even more difficult is that the battle did not start immediately, and those Beidi barbarians seemed to know their current state and deliberately dragged out without attacking.
At this moment, the soldier next to him touched Zhao Haiping and handed over a rag bag he was holding in his hand.
The bag was the size of a palm, and it looked like it was made of a rag pierced through the mouth, and I don't know what was inside.
As soon as Zhao Haiping wanted to ask, he smelled a foul smell.
Before he could ask what it was, the soldier on his right had already snatched it up and pinched it above his head.
Thick black stinking water flowed down the cloth bag, and he opened his mouth to catch it.
Immediately, the soldier retched, but even so, he gritted his teeth and endured.
Zhao Haiping looked stupid.
Nima, this copy is even more brutal than the previous one!
