Chapter 252: Combat Skills
In the diffuse gray mist, on the wide streets, eleven beings who were knights but were actually monsters rode tall war horses and walked slowly.
Under the neck of the war horse, the old bell shook with its movements, making a crisp sound.
A hundred meters away, between the canopies, Leo's face condensed.
For some reason, these 10 Sacred Tree Knights with crossbows are inseparable from the [Wandering Sacred Tree Knights], and if they are not eradicated, if they interfere with the [Wandering Tree Knights] when Leo fights them, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Leo had been observing for at least half an hour, and there was no sign of the 10 crossbow Sacred Tree Knights leaving.
After a moment of thought, Leo quietly retreated a few hundred meters, lit a bonfire in a tree house, and returned to the sacrificial site.
The spark of light flashed in front of his eyes, bathed in the firelight, Leo reached out and touched the [Central Tinder].
After a few hours of hunting, he harvested 4,000 [firewood] again.
Looking at the semi-illusory data frame in front of him, Leo first put 1000 [firewood] into the "level".
The mark of fire on the back of his hand lit up, but it didn't feel like it was burning when it was upgraded.
ββ
[Code]: Chasing light
[Rank]: First order
[Level]: Lv.9 (1000/1000) (The level has reached the limit of the first order, and the key item [Holy Emblem Certificate] is required to continue to upgrade)
[Equipment]: None
[Item]: Invisibility Pill (1)
[Firewood]: 3000
ββ
Looking at the new information that emerged after the experience points at the back of the "level" were filled, Leo was not surprised, and he had already learned from Vicky that he wanted to upgrade to lv.10, that is, the second order, and needed the "Holy Emblem Certificate".
Looking at the remaining 3,000 [Firewood], Leo opened the equipment exchange list, and then, after a piece of equipment, he chose to exchange it without hesitation.
Thin pieces of crimson light flew out from the [Central Tinder] and converged in front of Leo in the shape of a bow.
Raising his hand and holding the object, Leo looked at the introduction of the Mark of Fire.
ββ
γLongbowγ
[The general longbow used by hunters needs to be used in conjunction with the arrow. γ
[Combat skill: continuous shooting.] Once the bow is fully drawn, the arrow is quickly wound with superior technique for continuous shooting. γ
ββ
Soul equipment is expensive, and Leo knew this when he first opened the equipment exchange list and browsed it.
This seemingly ordinary longbow has an exchange price of as high as 2,000 firewood.
Not only that, but each pot (100 pieces) also costs 500 firewood.
It can be said that every arrow shot is a precious 5 firewood.
After exchanging the longbow and two pots of arrows, Leo's [Firewood] was reset to zero again.
The moment he held the longbow, Leo's spirit lifted, and on the surface of his soul, a mark with an extremely complex structure appeared on the red layer of light attached to it.
At this moment, the knowledge content about [Combat Technique: Continuous Shooting] poured into his mind, which also included years of hard training experience, which allowed him to initially master this combat skill.
"Interesting ......"
Leo's eyes were bright, and this feeling of memory and experience transmission was very similar to the feeling he had when he used the Jade of the Sword Transmission in the past, but it was more direct.
Shifting his gaze from the Mark of Fire's data frame to the character panel, Leo looked at the skills column.
Skipping the sword skills and passive skills that had not changed much, Leo looked at Joel's archery.
ββ
γYoel's Archery (Master 730/1000)γ
[The archery used by the knights of Yor City is known for their absolute precision. γ
In the past, the city of Joel was also known as the City of Arrows. γ
γExpand Skills:
- 1, [Eagle Eye (cannot be upgraded, the effect increases with the increase of Joel's archery level)],
- 2. [Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting (Beginner 1/100)] (Blessed by the master-level Yoel archery, before the master, the proficiency acquisition efficiency has been greatly increased)]
ββ
Looking at the character panel in front of you, the introduction of [Yoel's Archery], especially the new expansion skills added at the end. Leo's eyes flashed with surprise.
[Combat Skills] can be integrated into the skills that have been mastered?
This greatly exceeded his expectations.
Originally, he thought that it was already very good for the [Combat Skill] to be able to enter the [Skill Column].
What is the difference between integrating skills and entering the [Skill Slot] to become a new skill?
The answer is simple.
The former can be blessed with the level of integrated skills, while the latter needs to be practiced from scratch.
This point has been clearly marked in the skill introduction of the character panel.
Looking at the longbow in his hand, Leo's heart moved, and the longbow and the two pots of arrows turned into red light, blending into the storage space of the fire mark on the back of his hand.
After exchanging the required items, Leo did not hesitate and directly teleported back to the sacred tree of Flvideya.
The red light flowed in front of him, and Leo's body reappeared by the treehouse campfire where he had left.
Walking out of the treehouse, Leo didn't rush to find trouble with the [Wandering Sacred Tree Knight] and the ten crossbow Sacred Tree Knights.
He was going to try the effect of [Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting] first.
The skill of "entry-level (1/100)" is too low, and it is not safe to use it in actual combat, so he plans to upgrade the level first, and by the way, see how big the bonus of master-level Yoel's archery is.
Ten minutes ahead, Leo soon noticed the sound of a bell coming from the gray fog not far away, judging from the sound, there was only one Sacred Tree Knight.
Jumping to the top of the treehouse on the side, Leo took out the longbow and arrow loss from the storage space, and tied the arrow loss bag behind him, Leo pulled the arrow string, aimed at the direction from which the bell sounded, and waited quietly.
After about ten seconds, the gray mist a hundred meters away appeared a little churning, and the knight of the sacred tree wearing green and silver armor on a war horse slowly appeared from it.
Now is the time!
Without hesitation, without hesitation, at the moment when the "Eagle Eye" captured and locked on the Sacred Tree Knight, Leo released the bowstring that was taut to the limit, and with a "Hugh" sound, the arrow broke through the air, and its speed was so fast that it broke the sound barrier in an instant, and pulled out a straight white line.
There was a loud bang, and before the Sacred Tree Knight could react, the arrow that broke through the air had already hit the hole in the eye socket of its helmet, and pierced it deeply, and black blood splashed in the sound of "stabbing".
The Sacred Tree Knight's body stiffened suddenly, limited by the pull of the longbow itself, the force carried by this arrow was not great, however, the wind attribute magic attached to the arrow exploded at the moment of hit, not only shattering the Sacred Tree Knight's eyes, but also causing violent concussions and severe trauma to his brain.
However, the strong vitality eroded by the aberration prevented the Sacred Tree Knight from dying from the arrow, and it turned its head, and the only one eye left looked in the direction where the arrow had been missed.
However, what caught its eye was an arrow less than ten centimeters from its eyeball.
"Thorn-"
After the sound of flesh tearing, there was a low explosion, and the two arrows hit the vital point, and the exploding wind attribute magic took away the last trace of life of the Sacred Tree Knight, its tall body fell from the war horse, and the frightened war horse raised its upper body high, and neighed in shock.
γ
"Hughβ"
Another arrow pierced through the horse's brain, causing its neighing to come to an abrupt halt.
A hundred meters away, Leo slowly lowered the longbow in his hand.
His eyes were full of surprise.
Just now, after he shot the first arrow, he used [Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting] to shoot another arrow, and the interval between the two arrows was less than 0.1 seconds.
Such a rate of shooting was far beyond the speed at which he could rewind himself without using his combat skills.
Looking at the [Skill: Continuous Shooting] on the character panel, where the proficiency level has increased to "13/100", a smile appeared on the corner of Leo's mouth.
Just shooting three arrows increases proficiency by 12 points, in other words, with the blessing of master Joel's archery, each arrow can bring 4 points of proficiency increase?!
Such a terrible rate of lifting......
Of course, there are limitations to combat skills.
Leo could sense that as the use of the skill ended, the light of the imprint attached to his body dimmed, and it was about a minute before it lit up again.
This means that after using [Skill: Continuous Fire] once, you need at least a minute interval to use it again.
"Cool down......"
Leo muttered to himself.
The mark of fire on the back of his hand was slightly hot, and the number of [firewood] jumped to 200, Leo pinned the longbow behind him, stepped forward, and continued to search for prey.
An hour later.
"Thorn-"
With a tooth-aching tearing sound, the tall and burly Sacred Tree Knight fell from his horse, and his body gradually dissipated into ashes.
And the war horse also lost its voice in the arrows that came one after another in less than 0.1 seconds.
A hundred meters away, Leo put down the longbow in his hand, and his eyes swept over the character panel in front of him.
ββ
γYoel's Archery (Master 742/1000)γ
β¦β¦
- 2. [Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting (Mastery 107/300)] (Blessed by the master's archery skills, before the master's level, the proficiency gain efficiency is greatly increased)]
ββ
Upgraded!
At this moment, the knowledge and experience of [Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting] came to Leo's mind, and even his body seemed to have practiced the corresponding time.
From "Starter" to "Mastery", the additional arrows that [Skill: Continuous Shot] can shoot have been increased from 1 to 2, counting the arrows fired at the beginning, Leo can shoot a full 3 arrows in less than 0.1 seconds, and not only that, but the cooldown time of the skill has also become shorter, from 1 minute to 30 seconds.
Looking at the "Mastery 107/300" behind [Skill: Continuous Shooting] on the character panel, Leo's eyes were slightly condensed.
After reaching the "Mastery" level, the proficiency increase from shooting 1 arrow miss has been reduced from 4 to 3.
Beginner, Mastery, Mastery, Master......
There are three levels between beginner and master, which means that for each level, each arrow shot increases proficiency by 1 point.
After being promoted to the "mastery" level, the gap between the master level and the master level is only two levels, and the additional proficiency blessing brought by it is reduced from 3 points to 2 points, counting the basic 1 point, and the proficiency can be increased by 3 points for each arrow shot.
In order to improve the proficiency as much as possible, Leo does not have much wind attribute magic power blessed by the arrow, and it is controlled to the extent that two arrows kill the Sacred Tree Knights, counting an arrow to the war horse, and then killing a Sacred Tree Knight, which can bring 9 points of proficiency increase, and if you want to raise the level to "proficient", you also need to shoot 22 Sacred Tree Knights.
This amount is still within an acceptable range.
The "Mastery" level [Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting] can only shoot 3 arrows in a short period of time, and there is still a certain risk if you want to quickly solve the 10 crossbow Sacred Tree Knights.
It's better to solve it after being promoted to the "proficient" level, but it's just 22 Sacred Tree Knights.
The decision was made, and Leo continued his hunting journey.
β¦β¦
The sky above the sacred tree Flvedia was shrouded in a thick gray mist, but even so, the change in light and shadow could still be clearly perceived.
When night came, the Blood Moon hung high, and the entire sacred tree of Flordea was plunged into darkness, with only two sources of light left, the heartwarming, veil-like light of the Blood Moon, and the faint light from the magical street lamps on both sides of the street.
There was a sharp sound of "stabbing", Leo put down the longbow in his hand, didn't even glance at the dead war horse a hundred meters away, and turned his gaze to the character panel in front of him.
With the firing of this arrow, the proficiency of [Skill: Continuous Shooting] has finally increased to "Mastery (304/500)", and the number of [Firewood] has also increased to 6200.
After the indoctrination of memories and the changes in his body, Leo opened his eyes, and a dazzling light flashed in his child's eyes.
The [Skill: Continuous Shooting] that has been upgraded to "Mastery" has undergone a considerable transformation, and the additional arrows shot in a short period of time have been increased from 2 to 4, which means that Leo can now shoot 5 arrows in the blink of an eye! The cooldown has also been reduced again, from 30 seconds to 15 seconds.
The cooldown of 15 seconds is not too long.
"It's a pity ......"
Retracting his gaze from the character panel, Leo sighed.
When you reach the "Mastery" level, it becomes difficult to increase your proficiency.
Because it is only one level away from the "Master" level, the additional proficiency increase is only 1 point, and the base proficiency has been reduced from the original 1 point per arrow to only 1 point for two arrows, which is now only 4.5 points of proficiency for killing a Sacred Tree Knight.
And [Skill: Continuous Shooting] needs 196 proficiency points to level up again, which means that you need to kill 44 Knights of the Sacred Tree.
After this period of hunting, the number of Sacred Tree Knights in this area has decreased significantly, and if you want to continue killing, you need to run farther away, which means that you need to spend more time rushing and searching.
It took Leo 4 hours to kill the 22 Knights of the Sacred Tree who had upgraded [Skill: Continuous Shooting] from "Mastery" to "Mastery".
Right now, it takes at least 12 hours to raise the level of a skill from "Mastery" to "Master".
After thinking for a moment, Leo decided to temporarily stop the journey of skill level improvement.
"Mastery" [Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting], 5 arrows are lost at one time, 15 seconds cooldown, if you increase the blessing amount of mana to kill the Sacred Tree Knight in one hit, then, those 10 crossbow Sacred Tree Knights only need to use two combat skills to completely clear.
Within 15 seconds of the skill cooldown, Leo only needs to pay attention to dodging, avoiding the shots of the remaining 5 Sacred Tree Knights and the pursuit of [Wandering Sacred Tree Knights] before he can use his skill again.
Because he didn't know the speed of [the Wandering Sacred Tree Knights]'s charge, Leo didn't think about dealing with the 10 crossbow Sacred Tree Knights in batches from the beginning.
If [the wandering Sacred Tree Knight] is fast enough to entangle him, then it will be extremely difficult for him to escape, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
And now, the [Skill: Continuous Shooting], which has been upgraded to "Mastery", allows Leo to take out those crossbow Sacred Tree Knights in just two rounds, which makes a big difference, although there is still a risk, but it is already within the range of bearability.
Under the blood moon, in the gray mist, Leo took a step, thinking in the direction of [the wandering Sacred Tree Knight].
