Chapter 8 The Use of Vitality
Under the blood-colored sky, the cold wind whistled, the red mist gathered and dispersed, and the outline of the city also appeared and disappeared from time to time, as if draped in a layer of blood-colored light veil, revealing a bit of demonic feeling.
Between the tall buildings, beastly roars rang out, and the streets of the city had become chaotic, and the crowd fled in panic, and from time to time you could see bloody corpses, some even bloody patches.
In the vicinity of Zhongcheng Avenue in the southern district, the sound of gunfire and explosions was stronger than one after another, and the thick gunpowder smoke continued to rise, slowly pouring into the red mist.
At this time, a black-clothed young man with a black longbow on his back jumped and ran between the tall buildings quickly, and with a slight leap, it was a distance of four or five meters, and the speed was extremely fast, like a ghost.
Soon, the young man in black approached the area where the shootout took place, standing on the top of a building dozens of meters high, looking condescendingly at the street below, his eyes were cold and focused.
This person is naturally Xu Hao.
"Almost..."
Xu Hao took off the magic vine bow hanging diagonally on his shoulder, put on a stainless steel arrow, slowly pulled the bowstring, and aimed at a demon who was fighting against dozens of soldiers on the street at the bottom of the building, and the arrow of the stainless steel arrow slowly moved as the position of the demon changed.
The wind was strong on the roof, and his hair and clothes were blown very messy, but his feet were as if they were nailed to the roof.
Facing the cold wind, his blazing eyes did not blink, and a faint silver light flashed in his pupils, and he did not attack in a hurry, but through the eagle eye, patiently waiting for the best time to strike.
On the road at the bottom of the building, dozens of soldiers stood in different directions, fanning the demon around, bullets raining down, hitting the demon man holding his head and roaring in pain, extremely angry, scarred on his body, but still trying to force a breakthrough.
Shout!
A rocket shot at the Majin's chest, and the Majin roared and threw a punch, which actually exploded the rocket.
Rumble!
The flames soared into the sky, the air waves were rolling, and the aftermath of the explosion shook many soldiers and soldiers to retreat and their ears ring.
In the midst of the fireworks and smoke, the black, red and bloody demon man rushed out like crazy, and at the same time jumped vigorously, like a wolf into a flock of sheep, and pounced on the soldiers with great ferocity.
The soldiers were shocked.
"Die!"
On the roof of the building, Xu Hao's pupils condensed, and almost at the same moment, he had let go of the taut bowstring, and the steel arrow shot out, and under the blessing of a vitality power, it turned into a silver light that was difficult to capture with the naked eye, and the speed was ten times faster than a bullet!
Poof――
The demon's strong body was still in the air, and in the next moment, its head had been pierced by a long arrow, and before it could even let out a terrible howl, it fell to the ground so hard that it trembled violently for a moment, and then it was silent.
"Second end."
Xu Hao glanced at the body of the demon lightly, and then turned to leave.
……
On the street, everyone, including the female reporter who was watching nervously from a distance, looked at the demon man whose head had been pierced by a long arrow as if they were petrified. In addition to the happiness of the rest of my life, there was also a deep shock.
It's that guy!
He's here again!
The bald officer, Lu Ming, looked up sharply in the direction where the arrow was coming from, and through the thick red mist, he barely caught a fleeting black blurred figure.
"He's on the roof!"
Lu Ming reflexively rushed to the entrance of the building, but he didn't have to take a few steps before he stopped again.
Whether the other party is friend or foe is still uncertain, if he rushes to look for it, he may anger the other party.
Just like the lean young man who attacked them inexplicably yesterday, these people's temperament is unpredictable, and they can't be looked at with the psychology of ordinary people at all.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming still gave up, and his eyes fell on the body of the demon not far away, and he was still shocked in his heart.
It's too strong.
It's a god-like archery!
Lu Ming sighed with palpitations.
"Let's hope he won't be our enemy, otherwise, no one will be able to resist such an archer, it's terrible..."
One last glance at the roof of the building, Lu Ming shook his head solemnly, beckoned the soldiers who were talking around, and then everyone gathered and quickly rushed to the military training base in the southern district.
Not long ago, he received a call for help from the military training base, which was also attacked by these humanoid beasts, and must rush back to support as soon as possible.
On the nearby residential buildings, many citizens who watched the battle were also talking about it, speculating to each other about who killed the two terrifying humanoid beasts downstairs one after another.
What everyone can confirm is that this mysterious master lives in their residential area, or they know a neighbor.
Thinking of this, the citizens' originally nervous hearts immediately calmed down a lot, and their eyes were a little more expectant.
……
After Lu Ming and the other soldiers left, the female reporter who had been hiding in the distance and watching the battle for a long time ran out, walked around the corpse of the demon, and then leaned down and touched the silver arrow that pierced the demon's head, and her pretty face showed an incredible color.
"That's amazing!"
A monster that can't even be killed by bullets, or even cannonballs, is actually killed by an arrow one after another, and this should be done by a strong person?
Looking at the various photos and videos on her mobile phone, the female reporter has decided in her heart that no matter what method she uses, she will report everything that happens here in a round and neat way.
Among them, it is necessary to focus on the description of this mysterious archery master who made a secret shot.
She believes that there will be many such mysterious masters in this world, who are usually lurking, and when a crisis breaks out and they are needed, they will come forward and contribute their own strength.
She wants to let the people of the world know that no matter what the situation of mankind is in the future, even if the end really comes, as long as they resist stubbornly, there will definitely be a glimmer of hope.
An unprecedented sense of mission filled her body, and the female reporter clenched her fists hard, her eyes were determined.
……
"Number A0365 Complete Mission: Fight off the Demons. Gain 30 points and 3 low-level source stones"
On the roof of the building, Xu Hao couldn't help but smile when he heard the prompt sound of the Demon Hunting Emblem.
However, after killing two first-order demons, you will get a full 58 low-level source stones, and a total of 262 points after two perfect kills.
Today's harvest has far exceeded his predictions.
Of course, Xu Hao also understands that this is mainly the effect of the four unique hidden tasks, and it will not be so easy to get such a rich harvest in the future.
Thinking of this, Xu Hao smiled indifferently, and then shifted his gaze to the alleys downstairs, and carefully probed through the talent eagle eye.
Even if it was blocked by red mist, his vision could clearly capture the movement of everything within a kilometer radius.
"There are three heads in the military training base in the east, five in the southwest, three in the north, and three in the Fujing Garden... There are a total of fourteen first-order demons, well, there aren't too many demons that broke out in the early stages here... It's strange that you can't see a single monster, are they all hidden? ”
Xu Hao frowned, although the number of demonized creatures that appeared at the moment was not much, he knew that this was just the beginning.
As more and more Red Virus-free infections are completely demonized, and those beasts that are infected with the Red Mist Virus and demonized into terrifying monsters, the entire city will be reduced to a paradise for demonized creatures.
What's even more terrifying is that these demonic creatures will continue to evolve. What appears now, however, is the weakest ordinary first-order demonized creatures, and with the passage of time, higher-level demonized creatures will inevitably appear in the future.
At that time, it was the time to really test the survival strength of their demon hunters.
Xu Hao knew that all demonized creatures were divided into one to five ranks, and each rank was also divided into four different levels, namely: Common, Minor Boss, Elite, and Leader.
The strength of different levels of demonized creatures is very different, and a demonized creature at the level of a small boss is more terrifying than ten ordinary demonized creatures.
Thinking of this, Xu Hao immediately became vigilant, sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a low-level source stone, and slowly absorbed it.
The previous two shots have consumed two of his vitality, and now there is only one vitality left in the dantian qi pocket, for the current dangerous environment, one vitality is obviously not enough insurance, the demonized creatures are not limited to land, and the magic birds that appear in the sky will not be less, hurry up and replenish the consumed vitality, and then continue to hunt the nearby demonized creatures to earn points.
The function of points can not only be exchanged for source stones, it is similar to coins in the human world, and can be used to buy some special items for demon hunters to use in the future, including offensive and defensive equipment for various professions, strengthening drugs, martial arts spell scrolls, etc.
There are many ways to earn points, mainly by hunting monsters and doing quests.
With Xu Hao's current strength, as long as he is given the right time, he is confident that he will be able to achieve a perfect-level kill every time he catches a demon hunter.
In this way, he will get an additional 11 points for every ordinary demon he kills, which is double the number of points that other witchers get after killing a demon normally!
Of course, this is only for ordinary demonized creatures, and for more advanced demonized creatures, he certainly can't guarantee that he will be able to kill perfectly every time.
But this is already an extremely terrifying efficiency.
Now Xu Hao's biggest advantage in the face of other demon hunters is not actually a prophet, but his various advanced uses of vitality.
Just like when he killed the two first-order ordinary demons downstairs just now, he actually used a high-level vitality control technique, and it is also a relatively advanced martial art of the archer profession: Qi Explosion!
Outsiders didn't know that what really caused fatal damage to the first-order demon downstairs was not that its head was pierced by a steel arrow, just that it couldn't kill it.
Even if it is a first-order demon, the vitality is extremely powerful.
If a bow, arrow, bullet, or other sharp weapon succeeds in piercing their heads, as long as they do not completely blow their heads, they will at most inflict heavy damage on them, but will not kill them completely, and may instead make them even more frenzied to fight back.
What really dealt a fatal blow to that first-order demon was the moment the arrow pierced into its skull, a force of vitality condensed in the arrow in advance instantly exploded, directly causing everything in its skull to be destroyed, like a strong storm, leaving only shattered brains.
Yes, under Xu Hao's control, a amount of vitality can be accurately divided into ten parts by him, of which the power generated by nine parts of the vitality is used to enhance the explosive power and penetration of the arrow, and the remaining layer of power is temporarily controlled by him with special means, and it can explode instantly when it hits the target.
To do this, it's not just about accurately grasping the fluctuations in your body, but also about budgeting your attack range, final damage, and defense against the target.
That's Genki control!
Even in previous lives, there were not many witchers who could do this calmly and accurately.
Xu Hao will not deny that there are talented masters in archery in this world, and after a period of experience, their accuracy in archery may not be much lower than his.
But in terms of the understanding and application of Yuanqi, he has already strode ahead, waiting for the latecomers to catch up.
