Chapter 18 Initial Training 1
After breakfast, the next thing to do is the lingua franca. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao Mai found out that the half-orc Solu can only speak, but he is not very good at reading and writing, and his biggest problem is that he doesn't like to learn to read and write.
Zhao Mai is much more than orcs in this aspect, and the high-intensity, cramming learning method has long been a part of his life. Memorizing 100 words a day is nothing to any Chinese student, and even quadrupling it is not unacceptable.
It's an essential part of learning to integrate into the new world, but it's probably also the most boring part. Since the text is finally implemented in Chinese, then we should respect the author's great idea of wanting to be lazy and quickly skim this part.
Whether it's Earth or Gralion, whether it's a human or an orc, it's hard to get excited by mere cultural learning, but combat is different. The Ranger family, including his animals, were not in the habit of napping, so they began their martial arts training without a minute of delay after eating.
The huge canopy of the Jungle Ranger Tree obscured the midday sun, and there were only a few flickering bright spots on the grass, and the temperature was not very high in the shade. Zhao Mai rubbed his stomach, holding a spare tire shield in one hand and a short stick with a slightly purple root in the other. One end of the stick was wrapped with a thick cloth, and the weight was the same as that of the short spear.
The orc standing across from him was holding two wooden knives, which had been sharpened in a slightly curved arc. This is modeled after the Ranger Cutlass and is entirely based on Karl's craftsmanship. This wooden weapon does not cut or amputate a person, but it does not fall lightly on the flesh.
Soru kept spinning his wrist, taking the time to get used to the feel of the weapon in his hand. He squinted at Mike, and all he could see was flaws all over his body. Heavy footsteps, like petrified psoas muscles, dull eyes, this is obviously the same level as the farmers in the village!
"I think if you go to the wilderness, you only need a kobold to overthrow you!"
Zhao Mai's lingua franca is not so good, he can only understand some simple and commonly used words. So intermittently, he thought the orcs were saying "I...... Think...... Dry...... Kobold ......"
He knew he might have misheard, but by this time Soru had already pounced on him with his teeth and claws. A cool breath rushed from his tail vertebrae to the top of his head, and he subconsciously raised his shield and closed his eyes.
Closing your eyes means giving up the ability to respond and process battlefield situations. Soru wouldn't be stupid enough to hit the shield at all, but turned the angle slightly, and the two wooden knives slashed between Zhao Mai's ribs.
The pain in the heart struck, and Zhao Mai was directly knocked to the ground. "An injury like this isn't enough to be fatal!" the orc stepped forward and slashed the wooden knife straight down again.
The reserve grain roared and rushed over, standing in Zhao Mai's ear and grinning at the orc, looking like a loyal protector. Soru paused, his eyes narrowed, and he screamed three times, so frightened that he didn't dare to squeak, so he could only lean his butt on Zhao Mai's head, and kept barking his teeth at the orc.
Zhao Mai took a deep breath and slowly stood up. He looked at the half-orc, and couldn't suppress the anger in his heart: Lao Tzu's martial arts skills are not good, that's because he hasn't learned since he was a child, and being taught and bullied is nothing, it's just tuition. But if you kid dare to bully Lao Tzu's dog, then it won't work! Reserve food can't even gnaw bones, it's still a little puppy, what kind of ability do you scare it?
If I was not forced to study by my parents when I was a child, but went to Shaolin Temple to learn to be a warrior monk, you have not been taken into account by Lao Tzu now. In Zhao Mai's heart, at this time, Suo Lu had been ravaged several times by the Mighty Vajra Palm, the Dividing Strength Wrong Bone Hand, the Blood Transformation Divine Skill, and the Star Absorbing Dafa, and it seemed that there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Ah Liang, stay there and watch me be mighty!" Anyway, everyone except him doesn't know Chinese, so he won't blow it up no matter how much he brags.
Solu glanced at Karl and saw that he didn't have any special expression, so he turned his head to watch Zhao Mai get up. This time, he instinctively felt that the other party's state was a little different from before. The orcs repeated their old tricks, and without warning, they pulled up their arrows and launched a surprise attack. The two knives in his hand slash from position 7 and position 3 respectively (remember how to divide the area? think of the computer keypad).
This time Zhao Mai learned his lesson and would never close his eyes again no matter what. He saw the order of the two swords, took a diagonal step, and used his shield to block. Due to the limitations of stance, it is impossible for the attacks launched by the two knives from opposite directions to continue at the same time, only one of the knives can turn and slash continuously, and the other knife will be recovered and returned to the alert position. Zhao Mai's diagonal movement forced Soru to follow the steer in order to form a continuous swing.
In fact, this has slowed down the speed of the double knife.
Carl, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was stunned for a moment, unsure if this reaction was a coincidence or a battle instinct. Yesterday he just taught the most basic parrying stance and didn't have anything involved in footwork. If Mike was able to show a similar excellent reaction after that, it would only mean that he had a fairly high level of understanding of martial arts.
The two wooden knives hit the spare tire shield in turn, and the impact sank into the sea. This is more uncomfortable than swinging a knife at a stone, because martial arts practitioners will subconsciously estimate the change in stress according to the battlefield situation, and use the additional force of the wrist and the tiger's mouth to compensate for the shock. But the indestructible spare tire is different from an ordinary shield, and after the weapon is cut, not to mention the scars, not even the sound. This means that all the energy acting on the spare tire is completely bounced back and cancels out the impact force......
I was lucky enough to prepare for the shock, but I found that there was nothing, which was much lighter than a punch to the wall, but it was uncomfortable enough. Solu's movements came to a halt, which was supposed to be a good time to launch a counterattack, but Zhao Mai was inexperienced and couldn't see or catch it, he would only carefully prepare for the next wave of attacks.
Karl sighed softly, and he could see that Mike really had no battlefield experience, and he couldn't even recognize his opponent's stumbling steps. However, his use of the shield was decent, and it seemed that yesterday's hard work was not in vain.
The twin blades continuously hit the spare tire shield, and no matter how much force they used, they couldn't shake it in the slightest. In fact, there are pros and cons to this, because Zhao Mai can't feel the vibration, so he can't know the changes in the opponent's strength, let alone distinguish between real and false moves, and can only mechanically deal with every slash.
Excluding the factors of strength and speed, all that remains is a purely technical response. Attacks from different areas, what kind of posture each uses, this is covered in the old ranger Carl's breakdown talk. What Zhao Mai has to do is to form the correct conditioned reflex and then integrate it.
The wooden knife gradually became a number, the martial arts became an equation, and the training of combat skills was a process of finding the optimal solution. This statement is a bit biased, but it is the safest way for beginners. Even if the peak of martial arts is to win without moves, don't heroes have to start practicing by learning tricks?
Half-orcs have a natural advantage in terms of body, but Zhao Mai has a mind full of martial arts theories, and no one can help anyone for a while.
