Chapter 4: Standing and Dying
The super-speed of the spear made the half-orc leader unable to dodge, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death, just at the moment when the spear was about to hit him, his purple wolf suddenly struggled to stand up, and as soon as he stood in front of him, a stream of blood sprayed him, and the impact spear had completely penetrated the purple giant wolf.
Seeing the giant wolf wailing and falling to the ground, the half-orc leader roared at the sky in grief and indignation, and his blood-red eyes, which had become angry from anger, stared at Xiao Ke and rushed forward with a roar. But he was already at the end of the crossbow, and after losing the help of the wolf, he was not Xiao Ke's opponent, and after a few rounds of fighting, he was hit in the face by Xiao Ke with a heavy punch, and he fell to the sky.
The punch knocked out almost half of his full teeth, and black blood kept flowing out of his mouth, but he still stubbornly got up and roared at Shoko.
Xiao Ke punched him harder and knocked him down again, he still struggled to get up, he couldn't even walk steadily, but he still slowly swung his fist at Xiao Ke to attack, Xiao Ke knocked him down again, he got up again, again and again, although his face had been beaten to the flesh and blood, and the bones didn't know how many were broken, but he still struggled, just refused to give up.
Finally, after being knocked down by Xiao Ke again, he gasped and did not move, Xiao Ke thought that this blow should kill him, and he could not get up. But to Xiao Ke's shock, the leader of the orcs, whose health had become zero, staggered to his feet again. He trembled and tried to attack Shoko, even though his arm could no longer be raised.
Shoko sighed, walked up to him and said, "Well, I'll admit it, you're a great guy!" After speaking, he grabbed his hand and touched it on his face: "Look, you hit me in the face." ”
A relieved smile appeared on the orc leader's face, as if he had finally avenged his wolf, and he stood there in that position, not moving.
With the death of the orc leader, there is also a reminder from Chauco's soul mark: "Your team has eliminated 568 wolf cavalry, and your team has gained 8060 soul points each." ”
"You eliminated the legendary orc leader Yenogu and his wolf Purple Fang, your team gained 820 soul points each, and you gained the A-rank skill scroll 'Burst Light'."
This time, the King's Landing team can be described as a bumper harvest, but Xiao Ke is a little uneasy, he patted the shoulder of the afraid dead Yenogu, turned on the air, and flew over the river to meet the three of them.
Xiao Ke's battle funeral day was seen by all three of them, and they all came forward when they saw Xiao Ke coming. Elena looked at Xiao Ke a little depressed and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?" You can't be sympathizing with that ugly bastard, right? You don't look like such a soft-hearted person, do you? ”
Xiao Ke shook his head and said, "I'm just wondering if my final fate will be like him!" But he immediately laughed again and said, "But now that I have figured it out, I will not be like him, I am the invincible Shoko!" ”
Futian pouted and said, "Cut!" ”
Xiao Ke smiled again and said, "We have a good start this time!" But didn't you say that there is no reward for killing enemies by tricks? What's the deal with us getting so many soul points? ”
Burial Heaven Dao: "Using a trap to kill ants without wisdom is a trick, and using a stratagem to destroy an army is called wisdom!" Wisdom is also part of strength, and of course the temple will give rewards! Besides, didn't you notice that the rewards this time are much smaller than the last battle? This is the weakening of outwitting! ”
Shaw Ke laughed: "You just said 'wisdom'? You've finally recognized my ingenuity! ”
Fu Tian snorted coldly: "It's just the easiest way to lure the enemy deeper, that is, this group of brainless half-orcs will be fooled, what are you proud of?" ”
Xiao Ke didn't think so, and still proudly took out the A-level skill scroll, and said, "I used this thing myself, do you have any opinions?" ”
Fu Tian said: "Nonsense, are we going to covet what you hit alone?" What's more, this thing should have been used by you, and you are the only one of the four of us who doesn't have group attack skills! ”
Elena continued: "Don't talk about group attacks, in fact, he only has one offensive skill!" ”
Kane also agreed with everyone's words, so Xiao Ke learned this skill: Burst Light (Level 1), use spirit to compress and condense energy, it takes 10 seconds to accumulate momentum, and after condensing, it will be ejected explosively, causing 120 points of damage to all enemies in the fan area with a radius of 15 meters at a 60° angle in front of you, and this damage can get a mental attribute bonus, which costs 60 energy points and has a cooldown of 1 minute.
When all was over, the four of them summoned the giant ants and marched along the road across the Karanahon Plains towards Idoras.
Idoras was the capital of the hussar kingdom of Rohan, a fortress city built around a hill, and at the top of the hill was the palace of King Siydon, the Golden Temple of Medusi.
Here lived tall, pale-skinned Rohan people, who were determined, fanatical, serious but magnanimous.
They are a proud and self-respecting people, but they are also people who walk the talk, who are upright and generous-hearted, who are brave but not cruel, wise but not full of poetry, who do not write history, but who write about everything in heroic songs.
The people here grew up on horseback, whether they were herders or farmers, so there are some of the best horses and the best knights in all of Middle-earth.
Shoko and the others walked all night plus a day, and finally arrived at their destination. When they walked into Idoras, there were 14 hours left before the deadline to complete the mission. The voice of the temple sounded in their consciousness:
"Main quest 1: 'Breakthrough' is completed, you have obtained 1000 soul points, in the process of completing the task, the King's Landing team has eliminated a total of 633 wolf cavalry, and each team member will be rewarded with a little free attribute point, a silver skill point, and 500 gold coins in this world, which can be used to spend in this world."
"The second main quest will start in 14 hours, when you will know the specific information of the mission, and you will be free to move around for 14 hours."
After hearing this, the four of them were very happy, compared to soul points, attribute points and skill points are the most important things. Silver skill points can be used to upgrade all skills below A-level, so Burial Heaven added it to the only A-level skill clone to cut it, Elena added it to the falling stars, Shaw Ke compared the impact spear and the burst flash, or added it to the impact spear, and Kane did not have A-level skills for the time being, and it was a waste to use silver skill points to upgrade skills below B-level, so it was not used, and that little free attribute point, Shoko added it to the physique, Kane added to the strength, and the burial sky was also added to the strength, and Elena added to the spirit.
For the remaining 14 hours, the four had nothing to do. Since King Xiudon was under the control of Saruman at this time, it was impossible for several people to go to the palace in advance to reveal their existence, which was purely an act of seeking death. So they found an inn and had a good drink, and then slept beautifully, and this feeling of idleness was the greatest happiness for the trialists.
Early the next morning, the four of them had breakfast and were wandering around the city, when suddenly there was a bustling noise at the city gate, and Ling Feng, the captain of the Purgatory Reincarnation team, finally arrived at the mission destination with a group of trialists.
Following Ling Feng's advice, they planned to take a small path to avoid the main force of the wolf cavalry and ambush the wolf cavalry's squad for a reward. As a result, they lay in ambush for a long time, and they didn't see a single shadow of the wolf cavalry, wasting half a day in vain. In the end, there was really no way, so I had to rush desperately, two days and two nights without rest, and finally arrived within 48 hours, this mission can be described as the least dangerous task they have completed, but it is also one of the most tense tasks, of course, this tension is all their own fault.
Ling Feng's plan this time was unsuccessful, and it could be described as a disgrace. Therefore, when he saw the four Xiao Ke people who were wandering around from a distance, he couldn't help glaring at them fiercely, but because he was afraid of the burial sky, he didn't step forward to find fault.
At this moment, the majestic voice of the temple sounded in the consciousness of each trialist: "Open the main quest two: rescue." ”
"The characters of this world: the white-robed wizard Gandalf, the future human emperor Aragon, the elven prince Legolas, and the dwarf Golden Bolt are on their way to Idoras, Gandalf has already set off in advance to heal King Siyodon alone, and the white-robed wizard Saruman sensed this and sent his strongest warriors to snipe the other three."
"You must set off immediately, rescue the three of them, and complete the mission for a perfect completion of the task to reward 3 free attribute points, deduct 1 point for each serious injury, and this character will not help you in subsequent missions."
After listening to the mission description, Xiao Ke complained loudly: "The plot of the temple is really bad, isn't this a rigid copy!" ”
Futian and Elena said in unison: "Shut up, let's go immediately!" ”
And the trialists on Ling Feng's side couldn't help but look at each other, they didn't expect that they had just arrived, and before they had time to catch their breath, they had to hurry again.
Xiao Ke confirmed the direction of the map in the imprint, and summoned the giant ants to prepare to set off, when they jumped over Ling Feng and the group of trialists, seeing their embarrassed appearance, Xiao Ke suddenly felt very funny, and his character has always been to laugh when he wants to laugh, so he laughed out loud.
This time, Ling Feng couldn't hold back his words anymore, and he shouted to the four of them, "Where are you four going?" There is a possibility that we will meet the Trialists of the Dark Side in this mission, so we better act as one! ”
Xiao Ke ignored them and said to the burial heaven: "This group of rabble is left to you to deal with," and laughed and walked away.
Fu Tian rolled his eyes, turned back and said viciously to the group of trialists: "If those miscellaneous people dare to come, we will naturally kill them all, just like killing all the wolf cavalry!" And you, do what you want, but don't disturb us. Otherwise, I don't mind comparing the light side and the dark side, whose heart is tastier! ”
When Burial Heaven said this, the monstrous murderous aura almost came out of his body, and all the trialists saw that there was a giant wolf image condensed behind Burial Heaven, staring at them with blood-red eyes.
Fu Tian smiled coldly, slashed his thumb across his neck to everyone, and made a throat-cutting gesture, and then rode on the giant ant and chased after Xiao Ke and the three of them.
