Chapter 2: Rush all the way and escape from Helgen
Zhu Peng and the rebel Larov of the storm cloak, plus a local red-haired girl hiding in the dark and peeping at the ugly female captain of the empire talking to his subordinates, looking at the key hanging from the other party's waist, Zhu Peng quickly reacted in his heart, this battle is actually inevitable.
"Okay, you kill that female officer, and I'll kill her subordinates. The next moment after reaching a consensus, the two men in the shadows suddenly pounced like wild beasts.
"Either be free, or return to the bosom of your ancestors!" Compared to Larov, who was holding a battle axe and charging while roaring highly, Zhu Peng and the iron sword in his hand were like a poisonous snake tearing at his target.
Suddenly attacked, the imperial female captain and her subordinates hurriedly drew their weapons because of the surprise attack, their minds and bodies were worse than their heyday, even with the physique and strength at this moment, Zhu Peng was confident that he would kill his target in an instant.
But before engaging head-on, Zhu Peng noticed that the female captain of the empire who was pounced by Larov, in addition to her right hand holding the sword, pressed her left hand to herself, and seemed to have several nouns in her mouth.
(Spell!)
Such a thought flashed through his mind, and the next moment, Zhu Peng's body instantly changed from rushing forward to throwing his arms and rolling over.
"Whew!" A large puff of cold mist erupted from the female captain's left hand, enveloping Zhu Peng's previous position, and even with the horizontal movement of his palm, Zhu Peng had to make a big move to avoid this small-scale attack, while the imperial female captain only followed with a slight turn of her wrist.
With the speed of the body speed urged by his current physical fitness, although Zhu Peng avoided the first wave of attacks of the cold fog, he was immediately enveloped by the next sweep.
At this moment, this body is just a teenager, there is no high spell resistance, and its own physique is also low, the vertical sword is blocked in front of him and retreats at the same time, but the retreat is slower and slower, Zhu Peng can feel that his limbs are frozen to a terrible cold.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see that Larov pounced on the Imperial Female Captain but was blocked by his subordinates, and at this moment, although several axes and slashes had the upper hand, it could not affect the Imperial Female Captain's spell casting, at least temporarily.
Biting the tip of his tongue with his teeth, he forcibly suppressed the urge to pass out directly with intense pain and swallowing blood.
Suddenly, a warm current ran through the body from behind, and then spread throughout the body, and Zhu Peng, who was surrounded by frost, turned his head slightly, only to see the red-haired girl in the shadows retract her hand timidly, but she was frightened by the staring eyes of the imperial female captain.
At this time, I don't know if the magic power of the female captain of the empire is exhausted, or her subordinates really can't support it, this woman who cultivates both magic and martial arts stopped casting spells and swung her sword to fight with Larov, and the two joined forces to quickly recover the previous decline, but the man Larov is really strong, he carries the axe with one hand and is hard to fight against two, although he is retreating step by step, but with his superb combat skills, he has not fallen into an obvious disadvantage.
As the three of them gradually approached Zhu Peng, who was gasping for breath with his sword, the man who looked like he had lost his combat effectiveness with frost all over his body suddenly jumped up, accompanied by a low cheer of synchronous cooperation with a sword slash.
Many people will instinctively scream when fighting with people, and even consciously increase their own momentum through this method, and the art of sound fighting is even self-contained in the martial arts of national arts, Zhu Peng's sword swinging, sound fighting, and seamless coordination, between a sword, through the breath throughput the body's physical strength to a relatively peak, and at the same time pull out the momentum, so that the attacked imperial soldier was slightly frightened.
He swung his sword to block without doubt, but the sword momentum in Zhu Peng's hand suddenly turned, and with this imperial soldier as a line of sight, he went around to the side of another imperial female captain and stabbed out with a sword.
Zhu Peng shot out of the sword, the imperial soldier was frightened and blocked, the weapon in his hand was raised, at this time it was only the female captain who fought with the fierce rebel Larov, when the iron sword in Zhu Peng's hand turned into reality and mysteriously moved to the side of the female captain and stabbed out, but it was the imperial female captain who was fighting Zhu Peng and Larov at the same time.
The female captain's long sword blocked the Larov head heavy axe, but Zhu Peng held the sword in both hands and pierced directly through the ribs, Zhu Peng held the sword with both hands and held the hilt of the sword with his lower abdomen, he almost picked up the female captain with the strength of his whole body, and then smashed heavily to the ground, this strong woman died in an instant, not to say brain dead, but to directly lose the ability to fight and act, the edge of the standard iron sword penetrated through the gap in the armor under the ribs and almost cut her entire heart, allowing a large amount of blood to flow in.
Another Imperial soldier was split open by Larov wielding a tomahawk in the next moment, and the two who had just gained the upper hand were killed in an instant.
"Good boy, the action just now is awesome, the person who taught you swordsmanship must be a very capable master. Looking at Zhu Peng, who was panting and the heat around his body melted the frost, Larov exclaimed.
In the vast majority of the middle and high demon worlds, because of the existence of magic power, the development direction of martial arts is relatively simple and rough, while the earthlings in the empty demon environment only rely on their own body and physique, and the direction in which they invest their energy is naturally different. For the battle-experienced Larov, Zhu Peng's set of flowing combo movements just now was extremely delicate and flawless, and he could certainly see it as a senior fighter.
At this moment, the red-haired girl who was hiding in the shadows ran out again, and after closing her hands, she pressed forward, injecting Dao Dao white light into the sword-wielding boy's body.
After removing the key from the corpse of the Imperial Captain, Zhu Peng took off the armor of the Storm Cloak Resistance on his body, and quickly put on the lighter and stronger sword armor of the Imperial Female Captain with the cooperation of the red-haired girl.
Ralov watched from the sidelines, also gasping for breath, he just removed the wooden bow and arrows from the other Imperial soldier, and did not replace the axe armor, or the man was used to the equipment on his body, for a skilled warrior, familiarity is even more important than the performance of the equipment of the combat details.
After opening the railing door with the key on the female captain of the empire, the three of them walked deeper into the underground building together, and in the process, the red-haired girl who followed Zhu Peng also picked up a sack and put some potatoes and cabbage in the corner, and carried them on his shoulder.
After noticing Zhu Peng's gaze, the girl's dark and thin little face turned extremely obscure, and she whispered timidly: "We may not have anything to eat after we go out, but now we can at least bake potatoes to eat." β
In the red-haired girl's heart, she thought that Zhu Peng was a nobleman who committed a crime, and in her impression, the young man in front of her had all the qualities that a nobleman should have: mean, fierce, brutal, and the strong self-confidence that spread from the depths of her heart and body, all of which made the red-haired girl a little worried that the teenager in front of her would not look down on her actions.
"Well done, the previous time, and the current one. Zhu Peng nodded at the corner of his mouth, being chased by a giant dragon and not forgetting to carry a small sack on his back to take some points, as long as he doesn't die, he will generally not mix badly.
"Ahh
Rushing down the stone staircase, when he reached the ground floor, he saw that the main road had been completely sealed by the collapsed rocks, and the entire underground building was rumbling and shaking, and the roar of the dragon and the screams of humans could be faintly heard.
"Damn, that dragon is really planning to tear this place down completely. Scolding and complaining, it is impossible to choose the way back, Larov casually pushed open a wooden door next to him and rushed in, Zhu Peng followed with a sword, and the girl with the sack on his back fell a little farther away.
There were actually two warriors in this cellar wearing Imperial armor, the Imperial warriors were better equipped, while the Storm Cloak warriors were generally in tatters, and based on this alone, Zhu Peng could understand why a tough guy like Larov was captured.
Excellent equipment can make up for the lack of combat power to a considerable extent.
During the battle between Zhu Peng and Larov and the Imperial Soldiers, the red-haired girl leaned against the wall and searched for everything on the tabletop, on the wooden shelf, in the barrel, on the beams of the house, everything in the cellar that she could bring with her, which was relatively delicate and valuable, because the combat power of these two Imperial soldiers was far inferior to the female captain of the empire who could cast spells, so Zhu Peng even noticed that the girl put a bunch of garlic hanging on the beam of the house into the sack.
(The children of poor families are in charge of the house early.) οΌ
sighed in his heart, although Zhu Peng's physical strength and strength were not as good as his opponent's, his grasp of swordsmanship and the rhythm of the battle was too much beyond his opponent, and when the refined iron sword that belonged to the imperial female captain cut the opponent's throat, the one that Larov dealt with didn't even end the battle.
Probably searched for it, because the dust fell from time to time on the roof, Zhu Peng and the three of them did not stay too long, and continued to walk down the path, and further below the cellar was an interrogation room full of iron cages, prisons and torture instruments, which could explain why there were wooden tables, food and even wine in the cellar above. The Imperial people drank wine and ate meat on it, and after they had eaten their fill, they came down to interrogate the prisoners, which was indeed quite a comfortable workflow.
When Larov ran down, there were two Imperial soldiers fighting with several warriors of the Storm Cloak, one of the white-haired old men could actually cast spells, a dark blue electricity spread out between his hands, directly sweeping down most of the Storm Cloak warriors, Larov saw this scene and strode over with an axe, until he got close to the caster before roaring and charging, at this time the caster of the torture room wanted to divert the target of the attack was too late, and was slashed on the head by Larov with an axe, and died neatly.
And Zhu Peng had just suffered the loss of a spellcaster, and this time he did not meet it again, but cooperated with another surviving rebel in the Storm Cloak to kill another Imperial soldier.
"Is Lord Ufric with you?" Larov first asked the Stormcloaked warrior to the side after the battle, but received a negative answer.
"No, I haven't seen the dragon since he appeared. Hearing this, Larov looked a little lost, and Zhu Peng found a bag of about twenty gold coins on the caster who was hacked to death, as well as a thin booklet with the words written in the words of this world: Burning Hand, four words.
Seeing that Larov and the warrior of the storm cloak were still talking, Zhu Peng directly opened the booklet and began to read quickly, the physique of human beings in each world plane is slightly different, so there are some differences in spell casting habits, if Zhu Peng is the body descended into this world, with its huge magic reserves and heritage, these slight differences can be directly ignored, but with the thin magic power of the current body to cast spells, some of the rules at the bottom have to be followed. Otherwise, the spell will not be cast at all.
If you are a native of this plane, the time to learn a spell may be measured in years or even longer, but for Zhu Peng, who is a legendary wizard himself, during the time when Larov was talking to the Storm Cloak Warrior, he quickly read the booklet in his hand, and the Burning Hand was already cast.
The four of them rested for a while, and then continued along the only pathway, and in the next stone cave, they encountered the largest number of remnants of Imperial soldiers, who themselves were looking for a way out, but when they encountered the original enemy, the Storm Cloak Warrior, the ferocity of being pressed to the ground by the evil dragon and rubbing repeatedly was stimulated.
There are more than ten imperial soldiers in the underground stone cave, and there are melee fighters and long-range archers, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Zhu Peng's side to win, especially one of the four is a non-combat unit, and Zhu Peng's physical fitness is extremely insufficient, but the enemy will not fight because you don't want to fight, on the contrary, because of the absolute superiority of the side, they are even more imposing and rush over.
(Fortunately, the current terrain is narrow enough, otherwise it would be really troublesome.) Raising the double sword in his hand, Zhu Peng rushed up with Larov and the storm cloak warriors, the two-handed heavy sword focuses on strength and rhythm, the one-handed sword is more heavy on the swordsmanship itself, and the wrist is flexible, and the two-handed dual-wielding double sword This method of warfare pays more attention to the footwork of the sword holder and the mutual cooperation of the left and right hands, and if it is used well, the combat power is doubled, and the killing efficiency is greatly improved, if it is not used well, it is to deliver food to the enemy.
And Zhu Peng controls the double sword, at least in the wizarding world, he really didn't find a living opponent, is this the best singing in the cross talk world?
In his heart, Zhu Peng had already rushed out between the attacks of the two-handed heavy sword storm cloak warrior, and attacked with two swords with both hands, throwing a little cold light, when Zhu Peng retreated back into the defense line of the side again, more than ten people on the side of the imperial soldiers had fallen three in an instant, or were directly pierced into the brain by the sword, or were cut open carotid artery, or were directly pierced through the heart, in an instant, the companions around him fell directly, this scene frightened those imperial soldiers trembling, not that they were not brave enough, but the swordsmanship of the scene in front of them had exceeded their understanding of swordsmanship and martial artsγ
After all, they are just some low-level soldiers, although they also have excellent combat skills and martial arts on this continent, they generally do not appear in their lives.
The sword killed three people in an instant, which greatly boosted the morale of the already side, and the momentum of the imperial warriors fell, and they were a little afraid for a while, but Zhu Peng was self-aware, although it was only a short moment just now, he had already beaten the physical strength he had accumulated almost completely, and if he continued to fight, the possibility of his direct collapse was quite large, and willpower could not completely replace the role of physical fitness.
An arrow was shot in the distance, and Zhu Pengluo turned his head to avoid it, because a large group of people were already blocking the front, and those imperial archers in the distance did not dare to shoot too hard and too fast while ensuring their own safety, although there were some oil lamps burning in this underground stone cave, it was still too dim, if it hit the soldiers on the side, wouldn't it be lifting a stone to hit their own feet?
However, this missed arrow made Zhu Peng pay attention to the large plate of oil lamps around him, the world is still at the level of craftsmanship in the Western Middle Ages, although there seems to be no shortage of fuel, but the use rate of oil is extremely low, and there is no sense of safety at all......
When the imperial soldiers once again boosted their morale and rushed up, Zhu Peng suddenly raised his hand and threw his sword to smash down the large plate of oil lamps on the stone wall on one side, although it seemed that there was also an isolation mechanism, and the poured oil was not ignited by the lamp, but the lamp was directly extinguished, but Zhu Peng's left hand pressed a tongue of fire and shot out, and the terrifying flames suddenly enveloped more than ten imperial soldiers in front of the four of them through the blessing of a large amount of oil, and attacked in a range and killed instantly!
"I'm sorry, but at the moment when I picked up my arms, I think you already have the consciousness of dying on the battlefield. Holding the sword in one hand in front of his chest, he bowed slightly, and then Zhu Peng and two other companions crossed the burning man who was gradually ceasing to struggle, and rushed to the two archers on the opposite side of the stone bridge not far away.
The dim environment of the underground cave itself is not conducive to shooting, and the two archers are close to each other by three good warriors, and the result of their death is also a matter of course.
Following the only way out of the underground stone cave, after crossing a wooden bridge, the group of four found a dark river with flowing streams, which is obviously not an artificial structure of the Empire, but existed before the fortress was built on it, or this is one of the reasons why the Empire chose to build a fortress here, even if the city with the existence of the dark river is surrounded by heavy siege, it will not be directly besieged in a short time.
"Woo, I seem to have smelled the air of freedom, all the way to fight, all the way to kill...... But we will win. While walking, he whispered, because finding the underground river is about the same as finding the exit, so the warrior of the storm cloak became a little excited, which is also normal, don't say it's him, even Zhu Peng and Larov, all the way here, there is a sense of relief.
It was because of this psychology that when a large spider almost half a human tall fell silently from the stone wall, Larov, Zhu Peng, and the warrior of the storm cloak, they did not notice it immediately, and the big spider bit the sharp teeth containing venom into the side of the neck of the warrior of the storm cloak from behind.
Faintly hearing the sound of broken skin, Zhu Peng's ears twitched slightly, and the next moment he drew his sword in his hand and suddenly turned around, but the storm cloak warrior had been directly dragged into the air by the big spider, and at the same time, one after another yellow-green big spiders landed around, faintly surrounding the remnants of the three.
"Damn!" Seeing that he was about to escape, but almost at the end he was taken away by this group of beasts, and one of his comrades was also furious.
At this time, Zhu Peng handed over the iron sword on his body to the red-haired girl behind him, and changed an iron shield in her hand, so she really didn't have more physical strength, not to mention that the spiders living near this kind of underground dark river should not have much resistance to flames, right?
............ Shield-wielding mages sweeping the sky............
Holding the shield in his right hand, he repelled the attack of a big spider in a body collision posture, and at the same time his left hand lingered and gushed flames, indeed as Zhu Peng thought, these underground spiders are more inclined to the cold attribute, the organic matter and fluff that resist the cold on their bodies are simply the best fuel combustibles, Zhu Peng and Larov face each other to protect the red-haired girl who is holding the sack in his arms tightly, one person has died, and no one can die.
Zhu Peng's physical fitness is insufficient, but TM's magic power is not much, fortunately, his mental power is high, and his magic power recovers quickly enough, after raising his hand to kill a big spider with raging fire, he smashed the head of another big spider with the weight of his right hand shield and body, and after a moment of respite, flames gushed out again.
Holding an iron shield in his right hand to defend, his left hand stretched out a pillar of fire and sprayed, and the spiders were finally burned to stinking pieces of meat, although Larov's efficiency was not faster than Zhu Peng, but the battle axe still slashed and killed the last big spiders, he was a senior warrior in this world, and naturally knew how to kill these underground spiders better than Zhu Peng.
"It's a fucking frost-devouring spider, Zell died unjustly. After cutting down the last of the great yellow-green spiders, the tough rebel warrior cursed with hatred.
At this time, Zel, the two-handed greatsword warrior of the Storm Cloak, had been hung from the top of the cave with white spider silk, and Larov shot it down with a wooden bow, tearing the white material covering his body, revealing Zel's body with a blue face and already exhausted.
"Pack up, rest for a while, then dig a pit and bury Zell, and go all the way to give him his last ride. Holding an iron shield, standing beside Larov, Zhu Peng sighed.
There are two men, Zhu Peng and Larov, and the red-haired girl is not needed to dig a pit, and she is not too dirty to walk around in the nest of the frost-devouring spider, looking for any possible riches.
She found some spider eggs, glow-in-the-dark plants, and even took out gold coins from the spider sacs, which she kept in the small sack, and Zhu Peng and Larov buried him with Zell's weapons, this dude was poor in life, and left no inheritance after his death, so that his two companions did not have to weigh whether to leave him valuable belongings.
Along the underground river, they finally found an exit from a cave, and in the process, the three of them also found that an obese black bear was perched and sleeping in this cave, but Zhu Peng and Larov were already very tired, so they quietly got out while the fat black bear was sleeping, although they really fought, they could probably harvest a set of thick fur.
When the three of them got out of the cave, they just saw the faint afterimage of the black dragon flapping its wings and disappearing. After making sure it really flew away, Larov got up from behind the stones.
"It flew away, and it looked like it really left this time. We can't stay here for too long, and although the fortress is destroyed, troops from the rest of the empire will come quickly...... Brother, let's break up here for the time being, it's us who are being arrested by the Imperial Army, and the horse thief is right, we don't need to implicate you. β
"In addition, my sister Gordo runs a lumber mill in Ximu Town, which is not too far from here, this little girl next to you should know how to get there, go there and report my name, she will definitely try to help you. With that, Larov walked farther and farther, and finally he waved his hand at Zhu Peng and the red-haired girl:
"Thank you, brother, and that little girl, I won't be able to escape without you, goodbye. β
Larov left, he was right, this place would soon be hunted down by the Imperial army, and without him, Zhu Peng and the red-haired girl could call themselves residents of the fortress, so parting ways would be a relatively good option for both sides.
"Let's go, go to the town of Ximu that Larov said first, pack up the salute on your body, and then I'll send you to Snowman City. Watching Larov go away, Zhu Peng turned around and said to the red-haired girl beside him, the girl bowed her head slightly, and hummed softly, she was also feeling very sad about parting, for her hometown, and for the loss of her relatives.
After roughly sorting out the equipment on his body, Zhu Peng is now wearing the armor of a middle-level officer in the empire, with two iron swords across his waist, and about fifty gold coins have been looted from front to back, and he doesn't know what kind of purchasing power this money is in this world.
The red-haired girl next to her carried a small sack, an iron shield, and the miscellaneous things in her small sack, Zhu Peng did not count her wealth, even if she was sent to Xueman City and joined her aunt, a little wealth could make the little girl live a little more comfortable, and for Zhu Peng, as long as she could live, in any world, money was never a problem.
With a three-foot sword in his hand, there is a money bag in the world that can walk.
Walking between the barren mountains and mountains with the girl behind him, from time to time there were one or two beasts that looked like wolves and dogs, but as the intensity of the battle decreased, Zhu Peng's physical strength gradually recovered, and they were really just sent to the door to add food.
From the afternoon to the evening, he did not arrive at Ximu Town, which was very close to the mouth of Larov, the guy was nervous, and Zhu Peng himself had little hope for the accuracy of his words, and that night a bonfire was lit in the woods, and Zhu Peng found some herbs in the mountains and forests that were at least non-toxic, and he smeared these herbs as seasonings on the fire-smoked wolf legs, until the beautiful smell of meat gradually spread.
It seems that he is sitting there holding a wooden branch to barbecue the wolf's hind legs, but in fact, Zhu Peng is constantly observing the animals, vegetation, and environment of this world, and while evaluating the value of this world, he is also estimating his own plan in his heart.
It's not just a matter of simply completing the spy mission, this time Zhu Peng has to stay in this world for as much time as possible, he has a large amount of demigod real body research materials in his mind, as long as he studies and ponders thoroughly in this world, Zhu Peng can start to make a fourth-order breakthrough after returning to the wizard master world.
Fourth-order qualitative degenerative energy, real sense of time, these demigod traits Zhu Peng already have all available, and even only in terms of fourth-order qualitative degenerative energy, Zhu Peng's control and micro-manipulation abilities are not inferior to some ordinary demigods, and the accumulation of the two professions of Danshi and wizard is gradually enough, and the puzzle of the entire demigod promotion, Zhu Peng's difference is only the last piece of the demigod true body.
(Unfortunately, because the ejection is too far, there is too little essentia energy left, and I want to advance quickly in this world, and I can't even take on low-level tasks.) In my heart, I kept thinking, pondering, weighing.
Essentia energy is a kind of origin extracted from the enslaved and ruled world in the wizarding world, in a sense, it is not an exaggeration to call it the blood marrow of the planet, if the extraction is a little more, the extracted plane world will erupt, the storm will come, and the world-like tsunami will be stacked on the shore, and the life span of the world will be significantly reduced.
In essence, it is a terrifying energy that is not inferior to extraordinary magic, and its effect is incomparable, which can assist spy wizards in doing many tasks that are difficult to complete under normal circumstances in the other world, and even forcibly make the descendant become the child of the plane, and greatly reduce the repulsion of the plane.
