"Respected brave, you have gone through many hardships and dangers to finally come to the 18th layer of hell where the Demon King is located, the Hall of the Throne. In front of you is the source of evil, the Demon King. Choose your weapon and destroy him! The system's voice rang out.

Qiao Yu didn't care about the background description full of slots in the game system, "Hey, can I use any weapons on this floor?" Qiao Yu asked.

"Brave, you have been trained to master the use of many weapons, and you can choose any weapon you have used in the previous levels. You have only one goal, which is to defeat the Demon King! As long as you do that, you'll be able to beat the game. ”

Qiao Yu thought for a moment and continued to ask, "What happens if my character dies in the battle with the Demon King?" ”

"As in the previous levels, you can resurrect infinitely in the Hall of Thrones until the full time of the game is up, but each time you resurrect the Demon King, you will be restored just like you. Each time your character respawns, you can choose a new weapon. After the explanation of the system, please determine the weapon you need to use as soon as possible. ”

After Qiao Yu figured out the setting of the last layer, he began to look at the demon king sitting on the throne. With a height of 5 meters, he is obviously a guy with a huge body, explosive muscles, and it seems that the Demon King is a powerful character, and Qiao Yu is absolutely incomparable in terms of size and strength. The dark purple skin is matched with a face that is not human at all, and there are two long sharp horns on the head, which are obviously also one of the Demon King's weapons. And there is a tail on the back of the demon king, which is coiled on the inky black throne, no matter how you look at it, the tail will definitely not be an ornament, so it seems that although the demon king also has both hands and feet, there are many more body parts that can be used as weapons than Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu chose a short hunting bow as a weapon - this demon king knew by looking at it that it was not something that he could compete with in his lame melee combat, it was better to choose a light and flexible short bow, with a fast rate of fire and less strength consumed, so he could make full use of his small size and fight with the demon king flexibly.

An emerald green short bow appeared in Qiao Yu's hand, and at the same time, the quiver also appeared behind Qiao Yu.

"Stupid human, what do they call you? Brave? Ridiculous title, let me tell you today, what is fear! The Demon King roared and moved the moment Qiao Yu's weapon was in his hands. Although Qiao Yu is 1.83 meters tall, but at the height of the demon king of 5 meters, he is just a small bean ding, according to common sense, the enemy who is huge and has swollen muscles will not be too agile and have poor flexibility - Qiao Yu guessed correctly.

The Demon King stood up from the throne and pulled out the giant sword that had been placed next to the throne, and then Qiao Yu felt a gust of wind sweeping across his face. The flexibility of the Demon King is aside, but the speed is definitely not low! At a distance of 200 meters, the Demon King crossed more than half of it in an instant! Qiao Yu hadn't even had time to make any moves.

Qiao Yu was indeed taken aback, he didn't expect such a large enemy to be able to have such a fast speed, but fortunately, the beginning of the battle was at the end of the Demon King's throne hall, and Qiao Yu was at the gate. This short distance of 200 meters finally gave Qiao Yu a little time to buffer.

Qiao Yu's legs slammed into force and rushed out to the side. His target was the massive columns of the Hall of the Thrones. Obviously, in such an empty throne hall, these columns, which were used as building supports, were the only bunkers that Qiao Yu could rely on—especially when the Demon King's straight-line speed was faster than Qiao Yu's.

Sure enough, when Qiao Yu ran to the bottom of the column, the Demon King couldn't stop his body, and too high a straight line speed would cause it to be very difficult to stop and change direction.

That's your flaw! A gleam flashed in Qiao Yu's eyes, and the short bow in his hand shot at the demon king without stopping. Although Qiao Yu didn't have any expectations at all for this tentative attack to be able to harm the Demon King, the Demon King's reaction still made Qiao Yu's pupils shrink.

I saw a few extremely fast arrows shooted, and the demon king didn't even look back, and when his tail twitched, he shot down the attacking arrows.

Qiao Yu gasped, although the flexibility of the demon king in running in a straight line may be slightly insufficient, but the flexibility of the body is very high, which can be concluded from the fact that the demon king can knock down the attack behind him with only one tail, and this demon king's perception is definitely not low. Without relying on eyesight, just relying on hearing and feeling, Qiao Yu's fast arrows can be knocked down, which is enough to show the strength of the Demon King.

The Demon King turned around and looked at Qiao Yu with scarlet eyes, there was no emotion in his eyes, as if it was not him who was roaring on the throne just now. This time, the Demon King learned the lesson just now, and did not run with all his strength, he also saw that Qiao Yu wanted to use the cylinder as an obstacle to go around in circles with him. The Demon King just strode towards Qiao Yu, and the 5-meter body size brought an unparalleled sense of oppression. Qiao Yu took a deep breath, although he was now facing the Demon King, it also created an opportunity for Qiao Yu to test some of the weaknesses of the Demon King - judging from the length of the Demon King's tail, it was obviously unable to shoot down the arrows shot in front of it. Qiao Yu has been trained in the previous levels, although he is far from being a master of bows and arrows, but the basic short bow shooting is also skilled, as for the accuracy? If the object is a small target, such as an apple, such as the target's ten rings, then maybe Qiao Yu can't guarantee a hit. But the demon king in front of him is a five-meter-tall behemoth. Even if the accuracy is slightly worse, as long as you rely on quantity and speed, you can completely make up for it.

Qiao Yu shot arrows at the face of the demon king, even if the demon king was extremely strong, his face and eyes were definitely weaknesses. But he didn't want the demon king to just put the big sword in front of him, blocking all the arrows that shot at the face. And some of the attacks that deviated from the face, the Demon King didn't even pay attention, and the arrows hit the Demon King's skin, and even made a clanging metal impact.

"Damn, that's an exaggeration! How to fight this! Qiao Yu scolded secretly and hurriedly turned around the pillar. Since he can't find a chance at all at a long distance, he can only try to find a flaw in close contact with the demon king. With his small body and strong flexibility, looking around the pillar for an opportunity may be the only chance to win.

Finally, the Demon King came to this cylinder with a radius of two or three meters, and Qiao Yu was on the side of the pillar, ensuring that the Demon King's straight-line attack could not hit him. Qiao Yu ran two steps forward, and the Demon King really swung the door panel giant sword as he thought and smashed it with the whirring wind, Qiao Yu immediately flashed backwards, hiding on the edge of the pillar again, and the door panel giant sword smashed at Qiao Yu's feet, and even broke up some gravel and scattered in all directions, but fortunately, these gravels did not pose a threat to Qiao Yu.

"This is the moment we have been waiting for!" The moment Qiao Yu smashed the giant sword into the floor, his body started again, flashed out, raised his arm and opened his bow, and a series of arrows rained down on the demon king's head.

However, the Demon King only covered his face with his left hand, and all the arrows that ran towards his head were in vain. Qiao Yu was a little dumbfounded, how can I fight, I can't break the defense at all, what can I do, I'm also desperate.

But it's not Qiao Yu to give up, although this is just a small assessment game, but Qiao Yu has long developed the will not to give up easily, even if it is a game, even if he has to lose, he has to try to fight.

Qiao Yu simply gave up the idea of going around the pillar, and it turned out that although going around the pillar for a short time would make the demon king unable to attack him, because of the difference in size, the physical exertion generated by going around the pillar, the self who needed to dodge was definitely far greater than that demon king - and this was if the demon king had set physical strength in the game.

Although the Demon King's attack power is very strong, a sword can smash the floor, and the straight-line speed is also super fast, but in the attack just now, it also exposed the weakness of his frontal giant sword's attack sluggishness and easy dodge. So Qiao Yu simply stood up and kept a distance not far or close from the Demon King to attack and dodge, which not only made the Demon King unable to give full play to its advantage in straight line speed, but also kept himself from being so close that he was trampled to death by the Demon King.

After fighting like this for a full 5 minutes, the demon king was nothing, but Qiao Yu was already out of breath. Although it is a virtual game, the characters in the game also have physical strength, which is completely obtained after scanning the player's body through the virtual warehouse - most virtual reality games will be made in this mode, of course, some games in order to meet the player's wishes, let the player set the various attributes of the character in the game.

Although his physical strength could no longer keep up with the consumption, Qiao Yu never had the slightest idea of giving up. Since the front can't break through the defense at this distance anyway, then we can only find a way to get closer and see if we can find the flaws of the demon king.

In the assessment game, the examiner Zuo Wei and Dana and others outside the assessment game are very satisfied with Qiao Yu's learning ability and adaptability, although they have almost no foundation in the bow and arrow, but in a short game time, they can master the basic bow and arrow method - although in fact, because it is a game, it has a certain assistance to the character to control weapons.

To be honest, up to now, as a newcomer without a foundation in archery, Qiao Yu's performance can be said to have passed the assessment.

"But all you're exposed to now is the so-called archery, newcomer." Zuo Wei said silently.

The call request flashed, "Zuowei, this newcomer is really beyond my expectations, except for his poor physical fitness, he can be said to be excellent in other aspects." Dana's voice rang out.

"Dana, isn't this the new person you brought in? I thought you knew him well. Zo Wei wondered.

"No, it's just a few mets, and it's not a big deal to arrange an assessment anyway, isn't it just to block the flies that are just coming at the girls of our archery club."

"I am very satisfied with this newcomer, and now I think he can be regarded as having passed the assessment." Zo Wei said, "Do you have any other opinions?" ”

The people watching the holograms in the living room shook their heads and said they had no opinion.

"So, it's time to show newcomers what a real bow is." Zo Wei smiled slightly. As he spoke, Zovi's role in the virtual space flashed and appeared in the Hall of the Throne.

Qiao Yu had to hold on to his knees and pant for breath, he was now back on the edge of the column, trying to dodge with less physical strength, and he couldn't even draw his bow and shoot.

At this moment, Qiao Yu's side flashed, and Zuo Wei appeared beside Qiao Yu with a longbow decorated with silver tassels.

"Qiao Yu, you have done a great job, you have shown your will to fight and learning ability, as a person who has no foundation in bows and arrows, it is very unexpected to us. So you've passed our exam. ”

"Phew, hoo, have you passed?" Qiao Yu raised his head and looked at Zuo Wei suspiciously. "Then why is that big guy still attacking!"

Zuo Wei calmly glanced at the Demon King and said to Qiao Yu, "I'm here to show you, what is a bow." As Zuo Wei's words fell, her whole person seemed to exude an awe-inspiring aura.

"Archery, not archery, as the so-called art has thousands, and the avenue is the same. Kyudo is a combination of spiritual will and archery skills of a true archer. Zo Wei explained.

"The so-called archery can be described in one sentence. Affection for the bow, extreme affection for the Tao! When you have your own understanding of kyudo, kyudo gives you confidence, courage, and the unity of forgetting both things and self. ”

"No joy, no anger, no sorrow, no doubt." Zovi stood upright and raised her longbow.

"No surprise, no fear, no worries, no ego." Zo Wei stretched out her bow and aimed at the Demon King.

Qiao Yu didn't seem to see a person like Zuo Wei, but just a longbow itself, Zuo Wei, a "person" who seemed to have eliminated the sense of existence, and only the "bow" was left to open voluntarily.

"That's it, the bow? Road? Qiao Yu muttered to himself. Zuo Wei seems to have become an open bow and an arrow off the string! The whole person exudes a kind of "selfless" self-confidence and persistence.

"It doesn't matter if you win, you don't care if you lose, the belief is the same, and the right shot will be hit."

An arrow is fired.

Qiao Yu felt as if his mind was attracted by this arrow, and he seemed to have become the flying arrow, stabbing towards the eyes of the demon king.

The Demon King's expressionless face seemed to change for the first time, and Qiao Yu seemed to be able to feel that this avatar was frightened and fearful.

An arrow struck, hitting the Demon King's eyes, and then the Demon King's virtual characters shattered into a rain of light like collapsed building blocks, scattering in all directions.

Qiao Yu asked sluggishly, "This, this is the archery?" ”

Bathed in light, Zuo Wei slowly turned around, faced him seriously, and replied calmly, "This is the way of the bow." ”
