Chapter 11: The Weakness of the Archer
Just when Zhao Youcheng and Lu Ming were discussing tomorrow's plan of action, Xu Hao, who had been fighting all day, also returned to his residence.
At the end of this day, he killed a total of nine first-order demons, all of them were one-hit kills, and he got nine perfection-level evaluations, with a total of 189 points, plus the 280 points obtained by the six tasks combined, he got a total of 469 points, and there were also 58 low-level source stones.
The harvest is quite high.
Xu Hao is satisfied with his performance, but he will not be satisfied and slack off.
Although it seemed that he had a very easy day, in fact, if it weren't for the archer's super long range, and his own archery skills far superior to those witchers, he would never have been able to kill those demons so easily.
Even so, at present, he can only sneak attack secretly, and he does not dare to easily confront those demons head-on. Then, even if he could kill the demons, it would never be as easy as it was today.
Xu Hao knows this very well, if he fights on the ground, his lethality will definitely be discounted.
And for him, once he makes a move, regardless of whether the result is successful or not, he must change the location, and he must replenish his vitality in time.
The perception of demonic creatures is very powerful, even if it is a first-order demonized creature, as long as it is within a hundred meters, it may be able to perceive the qi of human beings.
At present, the range of the Demon Teng Bow in Xu Hao's hand is only one hundred meters, once the attack fails, the demonized creature perceives the location, and even locks the qi machine, if you don't transfer the direction in time, there will definitely be no good end.
In the same way, as long as an archer has exhausted the amount of vitality in his body, he must immediately hide himself. If you accidentally encounter any demonic creature at this time, it will be fatal, and there is basically not much resistance power.
Unlike other melee classes, they rely on a variety of powerful melee talents, even if they don't have the vitality in their bodies, they can exert good combat effectiveness.
This is the archer's biggest flaw, the melee ability is too poor, and the protection ability is also insufficient, once it is approached by the enemy or the vitality is insufficient, it is difficult to make a difference.
In general, the vast majority of archers are very scummy in combat power at the beginning of the apocalypse, not only are their archery skills mediocre, but they also don't know how to find the best attack position, so their role in the team is very limited.
Most archers can only use the talent Eagle Eye to help explore the surrounding environment, and occasionally secretly release cold arrows, whether they can shoot or not is another question.
Only Xu Hao knew that in the middle and late stages of the last days, those archers who had grown up with enough experience would show their terrifying side.
At that time, in terms of lethality and deterrence, no profession could compare with it.
An archer who has reached the master level of archery is often more terrifying than the combat power of several master melee classes combined.
At that time, their perception was extremely terrifying, and the wind and grass within a radius of more than ten miles could not escape his eyes, and they were basically unkillable. On the contrary, because of their terrifying range, they can often kill people from a distance of several kilometers.
Of course, archers who can grow to this level are rare, and in their previous life, including Xu Hao, they can be counted with a single slap.
That's all for later. Now Xu Hao knows very well that he is still very weak.
The advancement speed of demonized creatures is very fast, and it will not be long before a boss-level demonized creature will appear, with the lethality that his current archery can cause, even with the assistance of high-level martial arts qibang, there is no certainty that he can kill a boss-level demonized creature.
The key is that the number of dantian qi pockets and qi veins in his body is too small at present.
In battle, the amount of vitality determines a witcher's ability to continue fighting, and the amount of qi determines the explosiveness of a witcher in battle.
Under the action of a dantian qi vein, Xu Hao could only burst out one vitality at most at one time.
If there are two dantian qi veins, then Xu Hao can burst out two vitality at one time, and use it with martial arts, then the power generated will be more than doubled!
That's why Xu Hao is so eager to get the intermediate Pei Yuan Gong.
Once he successfully opened up the second dantian qi vein, his life-preserving ability and lethality would be doubled!
……
Back at his residence, Xu Hao hastily ate some food, and then continued to meditate and practice Pei Yuan Gong to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the Source Stone.
He doesn't waste any time increasing his strength. If it was possible, even if he didn't sleep, he would be willing to meditate and cultivate like this.
The living room was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers. In the dark, Xu Hao's body was motionless, his breathing was steady, and he seemed a little lonely, only a source stone in his hand flickered with black light, and the whole person seemed to be immersed in another world.
It's not that Xu Hao doesn't turn on the lights, but now there is no electricity supply in the entire residential area.
Since the outbreak of the Red Mist virus, the power supply in the southern district has become unstable, and after the bloody rain, the city cannot even guarantee water supply.
Xu Hao knows that a bloody rain has polluted the world's oceans and lakes, and even today's technology cannot completely remove toxic substances from the water.
As long as you drink this polluted water, the human immune system will be damaged to varying degrees, and the physical fitness will become worse and worse, and then you will be infected with various diseases, and finally die in endless suffering.
Things have developed to this point, and there are no longer long queues of citizens outside the bank to withdraw money, the money is useless, the important thing is food and clean drinking water.
People have understood that the end of the world, which used to exist only in legends, has really come.
Before the appearance of demonic creatures, citizens with a sense of crisis rushed to buy food to store, but now all the major supermarkets in the city have been closed.
After all, people run supermarkets, and the end is coming, and food and drinking water are more valuable than gold, and it is not enough to leave them to yourself, where are you willing to sell them.
At the beginning of the panic, the highways were jammed with traffic accidents, and citizens fled frantically in their ideal places.
Now, almost all the roads in the cities are quiet. It's not that the citizens don't want to go out, but they don't dare.
With the appearance of the demonic creatures, the surviving citizens all cowered in their homes, blocking the door with hard and heavy objects, not daring to show their heads again, while praying that their doors would not be suddenly attacked by those demonized creatures.
And from this morning to now, there are countless citizens around the world who have died at the hands of those demonic creatures. The streets were littered with bloodied corpses and even various pieces of human flesh and internal organs.
The once prosperous city has become a purgatory on earth in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the living citizens can only pin their hopes on the government and the military, hoping that they can turn the tide, wipe out the terrible demonic creatures outside, and restore them a peaceful world.
Only Xu Hao knew that this situation would not last long.
In the face of more and more demonic creatures, the government and the military are still too busy to take care of themselves, where can they control others.
And those citizens who can't get help are starving. When thirsty, you must venture out in search of food.
When the time comes, the threat to people will not only come from the ubiquitous demonic creatures, but also from the fight between people.
It may be just a little bit of food to spark a bloody fight, and the darkest side of human nature will be revealed.
Morality, the rule of law, and everything will be abandoned. In the future, only pure power will determine the rules of this world.
The more power you have, the more respect you will receive and the longer you will live.
With enough strength, whatever you do is unreasonable, you can be justified.
However, these are not Xu Hao's concerns, he has seen too many similar scenes in his previous life, and there is no need to sigh anything. People's hearts are biased. There is also truth to the idea that human nature is inherently evil.
