CHAPTER IX
This time, the progress was much faster, at least more than half of the way ahead had been walked, and it was supposed to take an hour to complete the journey in half an hour. After the secret room, Zhou Zhongmou continued to move forward, and this time there was a clicking sound in a place where the fire was out of reach, which seemed to be made by some hard objects colliding with each other. Zhou Zhongmou quickly thrust the torch into an iron ring on the wall, and then took a few steps back into the darkness - he had already thought carefully about what to do if he encountered a monster that could attack from a distance, wouldn't he be a living target with the torch. And there is also an advantage to plugging the torch and hiding yourself in the dark, that is, you can find the monster coming towards you in advance, and this thing has not thought about it from beginning to end, in case the torch is extinguished, he himself has no blind fighting skills
Fortunately, this kind of oolong thing did not happen, and under the light of the fire, the owner of the voice appeared in Zhou Zhongmou's line of sight. "I can explain this with some practical knowledge, but I can't do this one. It seems that I am really in some fantasy world, "No, the sense of alienation is getting more and more strict." The result was a skeleton in a tattered leather cuirass, a skeleton with no muscles and no idea what it was doing to move its limbs, walking on the ground without muscles and ligaments - and, heck, not much slower than normal. The skeleton held a wooden shield in its left hand, a single-edged machete in its right hand, and no helmet, "This thing has no eyes or ears, and even the brain of the soft tissues has no baba! Without muscles and ligaments, it can walk and hold weapons, and if there are no eyes and ears, it doesn't mean that you can't find me!" Zhou Zhongmou shook his hand in the darkness and silently drew out his one-handed sword, but his heart was not afraid at all, but it was full of a kind of game pleasure.
Walking into the point, Zhou Zhongmou found that there was a dark blue flame in the eye sockets of this skeleton soldier, and when this skeleton soldier walked under the torch, Zhou Zhongmou suddenly roared, rushed out of the darkness, and the one-handed sword was held above his head with both hands, and he pounced on the skeleton soldier. This kind of completely layman's swordsmanship fighting posture seemed to be full of momentum, but it was very lightly blocked by the skeleton soldier on the opposite side who raised his shield - the skeleton soldier was not shocked by Zhou Zhongmou's roar at all, he was just a teenager, and the shield in his hand was not cut by the one-handed sword, after all, Zhou Zhongmou's strength is not enough now, especially he has not learned how to use the one-handed sword to fight and exert force.
Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and immediately jumped back after being blocked, thanks to the skeleton soldier's movements being slightly slower than that of humans, and at the same time, he was also slightly lost his center of gravity by Zhou Zhongmou's charge, and the skeleton soldier's counterattack was a little slower, and the knife light drew an arc in the air, and Zhou Zhongmou dodged this blow very dangerously. At that time, Zhou Zhongmou felt that his blood was boiling and his adrenaline was secreted in large quantities - he realized that he was the kind of person who was actually a combat-fighting character, and he was not frightened by the danger of almost disemboweling, but instead stimulated the fighting mentality and began to get excited.
To be honest, Zhou Zhongmou's swordsmanship can only be called poor, he doesn't know the basic skills of swordsmanship at all, the rough chopping and stabbing is all he has now, and the skills of exerting force are not at all, so his attacks are basically blocked by the skeleton soldiers on the opposite side with wooden shields. Fortunately, his attention is now unprecedented, and he has never been greedy for attacks, so after three minutes, he has not been hit by the skeleton's counterattack, and has dodged every attack of the slower skeleton soldier with flexible dodge. But it shouldn't work like this, Zhou Zhongmou himself knows that he will reach the upper limit of body consumption at a certain point in time, and the skeleton soldier on the opposite side doesn't even have muscles, so he can't tell whether it will have a body, and now Zhou Zhongmou knows that with his sword skills, he can't play any fake flaws in the east and west, and the possibility of being hacked to death if he insists on playing is relatively high." No, you have to be patient, learn the skills of breaking this skeleton well, let me think about it, I remember that I have seen a lot of one-handed sword fighting techniques, anyway, when the body consumption begins to be unbearable, I will run, and it is estimated that this skeleton soldier will not be able to catch up with me. ”
To say that Zhou Zhongmou has seen a lot of one-handed sword fighting skills - but basically all of them are in the game, and the easiest way to use this kind of trick without force skills is to sprain and strain his muscles, and if he doesn't do it, he will cut off his fingers and toes or something, but the skeleton soldier on the opposite side has a sword and shield fighting skills, Zhou Zhongmou pays attention to the opponent's skills, and then tries to use it in every attack- At this time, he discovered his golden finger, which was the wisdom of martial arts, and he found that his attacks began to become more and more fluid and effective, and he gradually mastered how to use his muscles with each failed attack. The intuitive consequence is that the consumption of the body has been effectively controlled, and because each attack is more and more able to control the body, the stun after being blocked is getting smaller and smaller, and the dodge action is becoming easier and easier, and the consumption of the body has been reduced, and the attack frequency has been accelerated.
In Zhou Zhongmou's mind, the swordsmanship tricks that he unconsciously remembered in the game began to be recalled spontaneously, and then practiced one by one in the attack, and the skeleton soldier on the opposite side was always just a low-level undead monster, which can be said to be about the same as the simple IQ of the machine qì people in terms of intelligence, and there is only one item that searches and kills living creatures, and the use of skills in battle is also very mechanical, that is, the block of the left arm and the horizontal and vertical slashing of the right hand combat knife, not to mention any advanced unloading and skills to make the opponent lose balance。 Such an opponent happens to be a good opponent who can make Zhou Zhongmou familiar with the use of a one-handed sword, and of course, he must also cooperate with his own body to fight for qi, otherwise he will also be hacked to death by this skeleton soldier.
The two sides fought back and forth for almost a quarter of an hour, and Zhou Zhongmou found that he still didn't feel tired, "It seems that the physical function of this crossing is unfathomable? The increasingly fluid attacks began to make it impossible for the opposing skeleton to effectively block - after a clever feint to pick off the skeleton's already scarred shield, a light downward slash slashed the skeleton soldier's right hand holding the knife severely. "I have memorized this technique! I can adjust the direction in time, and in the process of chopping, I can give full play to the strength to directly split the hard bones! I remember!" Zhou Zhongmou didn't care about being happy, as if he suddenly pushed open a door, and the action of the battle suddenly became completely different. The next moment, the electric light of the cross-cutting flickered under the reflection of the torches, and the skull jumped directly on the ground a few times, and the dark blue flame in the eye socket was quickly extinguished. Zhou Zhongmou took a step back, the one-handed sword in his right hand fell, the skeleton frame in front of him collapsed completely with a bang, and the bones without ligaments completely fell apart after losing the magic of darkness. Zhou Zhongmou looked at his hands, and then slowly raised his sword with his right hand, and slowly slashed and stabbed straight into the firelight. The movements were very slow, and he would stop to think from time to time, and it didn't take long for Zhou Zhongmou to suddenly insert his one-handed sword into the scabbard, smile slightly, bend down and pick up the shield left by the skeleton soldier and put it on his left arm. It was a small round shield with a diameter of about forty centimeters, and the curved surface was already full of horizontal and vertical sword marks, but Zhou Zhongmou carefully checked that the wood as the main body was not damaged by the destruction of the structure, but only the iron sheet wrapped around the surface was damaged. "It can also be used! And the sword and shield are much safer than the one-handed sword, and there are more choices when fighting, but it is more difficult to hold the torch in this way, and if you hold it in your right hand, will it be too late to draw the sword?" While thinking about these messy things, Zhou Zhongmou walked deeper into the place.
