Chapter 18: The Power of Blood
"Whoosh!"
Zhao Haiping let go of the bowstring in his hand, and the arrow was fired in response, shooting a Beidi barbarian soldier who was chasing behind him under the horse.
The third stage of suffering practice was a little faster than he had imagined.
may be because he has laid a solid foundation for his previous suffering, especially his archery skills are very good, so after entering the third stage and taking the talent of "bow and horse skill", he can quickly adapt.
But soon Zhao Haiping discovered a new problem.
Even if his riding and archery skills are very good, he can shoot the pursuing barbarians off their horses, and even shake off the pursuit of the barbarians, he still can't clear the level.
Because he rode his horse for half a day in the snowstorm, he didn't find any signs of reinforcements at all!
The best time he rode for a long time in a southeasterly direction, and finally came across a lonely city in the wind and snow.
As a result, when Zhao Haiping was overjoyed and shouted, he saw a barbarian soldier wearing Beidi costumes at the head of the city, and what responded to him was a rain of arrows and the barbarian soldiers killed in the city.
Zhao Haiping was simply drunk.
Pit daddy, this is!
Sure enough, the city where General Geng Zhong and them were located was the only city in the vicinity that was still resisting, and the other cities and strongholds had already fallen.
In this case, where did the so-called reinforcements come from?!
Zhao Haiping was completely confused, and ran several laps in the heavy snow like a headless fly, but with the consumption of physical strength and the fierce pursuit of the Beidi barbarians, he could only fail soon.
At this moment, his vision gradually became clouded by fog, and the feeling of waking up reappeared, indicating that his happiness for the evening was about to end.
A moment later, Zhao Haiping woke up in reality.
"Whew...... Before I knew it, three days had passed.
"I'm finally about to touch the threshold of customs clearance.
"But...... Where are these reinforcements? ”
Zhao Haiping quickly got up and washed.
After playing this game, he found that his biological clock had become regular.
In the past, he was woken up by the alarm clock when it was almost time to go to work, but now, he goes to bed at 10 o'clock and wakes up at 6 o'clock every day, and his sleep quality is quite good and he is full of energy.
Every day from 6 o'clock, it has become a time for the closed beta players of the game "Dark Sand" to frantically exchange ideas.
Zhao Haiping immediately found Chu Ge in the chat software and told him about the problems he encountered in the third stage.
He knew that Chu Ge must be online, because all players would be kicked out of the game at 6 o'clock in the morning, and until now, all the players who played in it had basically entered a state of addiction.
Sure enough, Chu Ge quickly replied.
"Really...... You need to find reinforcements yourself......
"It doesn't seem to be the same as we expected, it's more difficult.
"Wait a minute, I'll check the information."
After a few more minutes, Chu Ge replied.
According to historical records, at that time, the Chu army requisitioned more than 6,000 troops from the surrounding four counties to attack Chehe City, beheaded more than 3,000 enemies, and the Beidi troops in the city fled in a hurry.
After the capture of Chehe City, it snowed heavily, and the generals of the Chu army at that time were afraid of encountering an ambush and did not dare to continue deeper, but a military official who had been under Geng Zhong insisted on rescuing Geng Zhong.
So, the Chu army gave him 2,000 men to go to the rescue from the Beishan Road.
"If it is really as you deduce that the role of this military official is also yours, then you should not go to the southeast, but to the northeast, and take the North Mountain Road in the direction of Chehe City.
"General Geng Zhong probably thought that Chehe City was still occupied by the Beidi people, but in fact, the Chu army just captured this place when you were besieged."
Zhao Haiping couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Understood! ”
Sure enough, Chu Ge is reliable.
The corresponding information has been found so quickly.
But this is obviously not enough, although there is a specific direction, but which is the so-called "North Mountain Road"? Which direction should I run in after riding?
It's all a problem, too.
Chu Ge did some research again, and listed the general direction and route he calculated for Zhao Haiping, and also roughly marked the location through the current satellite map.
Zhao Haiping silently kept all these contents in mind.
The preparation is almost there, but when it comes to the game, it is estimated that you still have to catch the blind in the snowstorm.
But either way, he still has an infinite number of chances to try.
Zhao Haiping asked, "How is your scribe copy?" ”
Chu Ge: "There is progress, it is estimated that it will be cleared in a day or so." ”
Zhao Haiping asked, "What are the main difficulties of the scribe's copy?" I also think that if you clear the Warrior Dungeon, you can also go to other Trial Dungeons. ”
Chu Ge: "I can't explain this in a few words, in short, I have to find a way to refute the officials and even the emperor who came to interrogate with the concepts of that era, not only the content must be carefully considered, but the expression must also be sincere......
"In short, the requirements for acting skills are not under the Assassin Dungeon.
"But a dungeon like this, as long as you clear it once, you should be able to get a rough strategy. After having the script, as long as you memorize it a few times and practice it a few more times, you should be able to clear the customs.
"What is more painful is the process of clearing wasteland.
"But it's also the most fun."
Zhao Haiping: "OK, then I'll wait to copy the homework." ”
……
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Zhao Haiping came to the company on time.
Since he started playing Dark Sands, he feels like he's had two extra hours out of thin air.
The two hours from 6 to 8 o'clock in the morning are basically spent studying the strategy of "Dark Sand".
No, to be precise, it should be nearly a day more, after all, the original night of sleeping time is like traveling to another world, experiencing another life.
Quickly go through all the work you need to deal with and make sure there's nothing missing.
He's just an ordinary clerical job, and he doesn't usually have much work, otherwise he wouldn't have so much time to play games.
Open the forum again to see how other players are doing.
It has been three days since the official beta of "Dark Sand", and the discussion among netizens has gradually become hot.
Previously, the beta qualification of "Dark Sand" was speculated to a sky-high price on the Internet, but some players tried to trade only to find that this beta qualification could not be traded at all!
Even if you buy and sell accounts, no one else can log in at all!
No one knows how the official "Dark Sand" can identify different players who log in to the same account, but considering that the game official has mastered so many black technologies in terms of consciousness connection, it doesn't seem so outrageous to identify players through brain waves.
The scalpers originally thought that with the popularity of "Dark Sand", they would be able to find an outlet to make a lot of money, but they didn't expect that their expectations were disappointed.
Closed beta players are racking their brains to clear the level, the initial content of the four dungeons has basically been exposed to the Internet, and players who are not qualified for the closed beta are also offering suggestions, but until now, no player has cleared any of the novice trial dungeons.
But there is progress.
For example, in the trial copy of the assassin, someone has successfully obtained the opportunity to offer the treasure to Emperor Yan Ling by constantly polishing his acting skills, but it is a pity that he has been killed by Emperor Yan Ling before he has time to pull out the sword.
Zhao Haiping searched for the trial copy of the martial arts again, and found that the vast majority of people were still stuck in the second stage, and they were cut by the Beidi barbarians to doubt their lives, and they didn't even realize that the beginning of the second stage was related to the first stage.
This made Zhao Haiping look forward to his first pass even more.
……
10 p.m.
Zhao Haiping can't wait to re-enter the game world of "Dark Sand".
is still the same as before, as soon as the scene opens, he directly looked for General Geng Zhong and took the initiative to ask Ying to move the rescue soldiers.
So, in the midst of the heavy snowfall, Zhao Haiping rode out of the city alone again.
And the Beidi barbarians also began to attack the city at this time.
General Geng Zhong was directing the battle at the head of the city while looking in the direction of Zhao Haiping.
Several brute soldiers noticed the lieutenant general and immediately chased him out.
The soldiers in the city were all sweating, but then they saw Zhao Haiping turn around and draw his bow and arrows, shooting these Beidi barbarians off their horses!
"Good!"
The morale of the soldiers was boosted.
Just before Zhao Haiping disappeared into the vast snow, a soldier exclaimed: "General! The direction in which he went...... It's not the southeast! ”
As soon as these words came out, the fire of hope that had just ignited in the eyes of these veterans in the city gradually extinguished.
Although they all know that it is difficult to break through in the face of the encirclement of the Beidi barbarians in this weather, even if they break through, it is difficult to move rescuers, and even if they move rescuers, it is very likely that they will not be able to catch up......
But there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart after all.
But now, seeing that Zhao Haiping was not going in the southeast, but seemed to be heading towards Chehe City, which was occupied by the Beidi barbarians, everyone was cold.
It seems that the wind and snow are too strong to discern the direction.
General Geng Zhong also turned his head and stopped looking, he and this deputy general were born and died for decades, and they had already had a relationship, but they also knew very well that if they parted at this time, they were afraid that heaven and man would be separated forever.
But at this time, there is no way, it can only be the destiny of each other.
He pulled out his long sword sharply and shouted, "Great Chu soldiers!
"Follow me, kill the enemy!"
