After a bitter battle, Hirosawa Furukawa finally got out of this serial deadly cave.

As I walked out, I came out of the cave, and it was bright outside.

The whole scene suddenly opened up.

At this time, Furukawa Hirosawa realized that his current location was on the outer side of a mountain.

Judging from the scene, it is not known how far we will go in the future.

Luckily, we've reached the save point.

On this platform, which does not look too large, it is like a large rock protruding from the edge of a cliff, covered with gravel and earth, and a circle of fine grass grows on the edges.

When you get close to the edge, you can see the woods below.

The whole sky was foggy and surrounded by the edge of the cliffs, which really looked a little scary.

Actually, this scene is fake.

Only the platform and the road which can walk are the actual terrain created by art.

What you can see from the top view below, the treetops swaying in the wind, the lush forest below, and the sky in the distance are all done by drawing 2D dynamic effects on the surface side.

In the background below is a GIF, and the sky in the distance is made through a skybox, which is another GIF.

These things don't collide, they don't have models, they can only be used to see, and they can't be reached at all.

If you fall off the boardwalk, the screen will only go black, and then give a big [YOU DIED]

However, Pokeni's art team, under the command of Qing Zhiyuan, put these things into the game, and perfectly blended them with the scene, giving people a particularly empty and lonely illusion.

The flaw of the top-down perspective is actually quite obvious, that is, it cannot depict a particularly shocking big scene, such as the sunset on the horizon and the stars above the sky......

Meteors slipped and the night was lonely......

The field of view is not as wide as that of a 3D game with a flat perspective, and the natural landscapes that can be seen everywhere in Princess Mononoke can be seen by players with a slight lift of the camera.

The magnificent sunset, as well as the big scene of the expansion of the mountain beast god at the end, are all things that can be perfectly reflected from a free perspective.

Not in The Witcher: Devil's Egg.

Of course, there is no way to do it, and that is the way Pokeni is doing it now.

Position the player's location high enough to go deep into the clouds, forming a boardwalk jutting out from the edge of a cliff, and then look down from the top of the boardwalk.

Then you can feel a different and open vision.

You can see the magnificence of the sky from a free perspective.

From a bird's-eye view, you can also feel the grandeur of the birds as they soar into the sky.

Forests are like the sea, cities have become small dots, and mountains have been trampled underfoot.

There is quite a kind of pride that will be at the top and look at the world at a glance.

……

"Wow, that's beautiful."

Sitting next to Hirosawa Furukawa, Junna Yukitake let out a sigh.

She had also experienced a short "Princess Mononoke" with Furukawa before

How to say, Princess Mononoke is the beauty of Hayao Miyazaki's 2D animation.

Among the witchers, there is a kind of magnificent beauty under the blood-colored remnant sun, where everything is silent, so thrillingly beautiful, but so natural.

It seems that after a series of battles, being able to see such a beautiful scenery makes the whole heart purified.

The impetuous mood suddenly settled down.

Yes, peace of mind.

It's like being around Furukawa.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but raise her head and stare at the man next to her who was concentrating on playing a game.

As if sensing Yukitake's gaze, Furukawa looked back suspiciously, "Huh? What's wrong? ”

"No, it's okay, you can continue."

Xue Zhu pursed her lips and laughed.

But seriously, it's not too early, it's been more than an hour since they started the game.

"Shall we sleep in another hour?"

"Hmm," Furukawa nodded.

Junna Yukitake laughed happily.

……

The battle on the plank road is actually not pleasant, it turns out that in the cave, although there are still more enemies to face, but the terrain is obviously more open.

Furukawa Hirozawa has a lot of room for detours, and he can dodge the opponent's skills by moving around, so as to complete the kill.

As long as the timing is right.

The fault tolerance rate will also be higher.

But this is not the case at all on the boardwalk.

Don't look at the scenery outside the plank road, it is very beautiful, but the width of the whole plank road is only as wide as 2 to 3 people, and it is built along the cliff halfway, and some places are purely a stone plane protruding.

In a place like this, if you fight an encounter, you will be very stretched.

The space for detours and dodges is rapidly reduced, and it is often a sneak attack or a first opportunity, and if you don't kill the enemy at once, you will be very passive next.

……

After walking less than two steps, he encountered a lizardman climbing on the top of the cliff, and at the same time, there was a pikeman on standby on the boardwalk.

Furukawa Ozawa approached slowly, first using a crossbow.

The lizardmen above immediately jumped over.

Furukawa Hirosawa raised his sword and slashed it, just as he lured the pikemen behind him.

The pikemen will run the first time they spot an enemy, and then a spear stab will come when they reach a similar distance.

If you hit it head-on, you will at least be knocked out of most of the blood, and you will be repulsed.

Furukawa Haoze smiled slightly, he was already a powerful warrior who had been baptized in battle, and this kind of little trick could be said to be familiar with it.

At this point, just press the A key to roll to one side......

"Ah~"

Just a scream.

Erwin rolled off the outside of the cliff and fell into the endless darkness.

The screen went black, and two big words appeared on it-

【YOU DIED！ 】

"Nani?!"

Furukawa's eyes widened, completely in disbelief what he was seeing!!

Damn it!

It can actually fall!

It's horrible, do you want to be so realistic?!

Have you ever considered the feelings of the players, Hidetaka Miyazaki?!

Why do you want the player to fall at this time?

Furukawa didn't understand.

But when Junna Yukitake next to him saw this, he couldn't help but laugh and giggled.

……

Hiroshi Furukawa frowned.

It's too faceless to die continuously in front of Xue Zhu.

Go back to the resurrection point and start over again.

Climbing up the plank road, Furukawa Hirosawa has a new understanding of "The Witcher: Demon Egg".

The space for dodging on the plank road is too narrow, and sometimes you will fall outside the plank road if you are not careful.

Then he fell and whimpered.

So you have to be very careful.

As soon as he thought of this, Furukawa Hirosawa couldn't help but wonder a little......

Is this the way humans can come up with design?

Can't you fence off the outside of the boardwalk?

Even if you put a wall of air, do you have to make it a place where you can fall?

Hidetaka Miyazaki is also particularly sinister, and even made some wooden fences on the outside that look sturdy, but these fences can be destroyed during the fight.

Destruction can increase the feeling of blows and increase the feeling of refreshment when destroying.

I understand all of this.

But......

Is it possible not to let the player fall after the destruction?

The producers didn't take into account the psychological capacity of the players at all.

I don't know why, Furukawa Hirosawa at this moment misses Shinji Mikami very much.

You must know that although "Princess Mononoke" is also difficult, it is not so insidious.

At least Mikami, as a producer, is still upright.

And this Hidetaka Miyazaki ......

How to say it.

In terms of high emotional intelligence, the producer is also too focused on realism and creating a new experience for players.

If he has low emotional intelligence, is he a little psychologically distorted?

It's probably similar to Gu Yuan Tsubaki and Xuyuan Xuan, more or less with a little tragic childhood, right?

Furukawa Hirosawa can only explain himself like this.

……

After a while.

Hirosawa Furukawa cautiously made his way to the next platform.

There was a girl standing not far away.

The 3D model is actually not so good, it looks like it is just a few features, the upper body is wearing armor, revealing a perfect lower abdomen, and the lower body is a short skirt, riding boots, and long legs.

A girl in a strong suit.

She carried a longbow behind her back, her hands on her hips, and she swayed back and forth in place.

Hirosawa Furukawa's heart couldn't help but lift.

Like a frightened bird, he was ready for battle.

However, when he got closer, it wasn't until he saw the green name and the big exclamation mark on her head that Hirosawa Furukawa reacted.

It turned out to be his own people.

The conversation revealed that her name was Eve.

Eve is a playmate with whom Erwin grew up, and both share the same tragic fate.

This is followed by a cutscene in which the two people's past experiences are described:

20 years ago.

In the process of fighting between the Star Kingdom and the Haoyue Empire, due to the activation of a group of demon warriors with terrifying power by the Haoyue Empire, the border of the Star Kingdom was lost.

At the same time, in the nearby villages and towns, serious damage and blows have been suffered.

Countless people have died tragically.

Among them are Eve and Elwin's parents.

Later, the two were adopted into a welfare home.

In the process of living in the welfare home, both Erwin and Eve awaken the demonic power in their bodies and become terrifying humans with demonic powers.

The two people who were supposed to be expelled from the stars were selected by the new corps of the stars, and then trained to be qualified warriors to use against the demon warriors of Haoyue.

And the corps they are in is now the vanguard.

After possessing the demon warriors, the Star Kingdom launched a counterattack against Haoyue, not only recovering the lost territory, but also defeating the opponent's main forces one after another, and is now in the process of pushing to the Haoyue Imperial Capital.

The Star Vanguard Corps, although they are not named demons, are actually quite afraid of them among ordinary people.

Because these guys have power beyond ordinary people.

Many people have experienced the incident of being attacked by demons, and they know very well the origin of these guys and the disaster that the seeds in their bodies that may burst at any time will bring to the world.

But to a certain extent, the people of the stars are alive because of the existence of these demonic warriors.

To sum it up in one sentence is -

Star Vanguard, with the body of a demon, hunts demons.

Although he has demonic powers, he is an out-and-out demon hunter.

Their role is more to deal with the more difficult bones in the war, and even the powerful demon warriors of the Haoyue Empire.

……

Today, it's to seize the choke point - the Ice Wolf Fortress.,And the male protagonist was sent here.。

Now, Eve is here to answer him.

"The rest of the road is more difficult, so the head of the regiment asked me to help you."

After the girl finished speaking, a pair of wide black wings grew on her back, which looked like a crow.

She flew in the air, and then grabbed the male protagonist with both hands, and the two of them rose from the ground.

Wow.

Is there any such operation?

Furukawa Hirosawa was shocked.

What is it called?

Is it a two-player game?

"It's beautiful."

When she saw Eve's wide black wings, Junna Yukitake clapped her hands in admiration.

It's really beautiful, but now when it's covered, from a bird's-eye view, even though it's black wings, there's an indescribable beauty.

Furukawa nodded a little embarrassed.

I don't know why, but my cheeks are red, but my heart is happy.

This is probably what it feels like to share what you like with the people you like.

……

From here, the game gradually begins to teach how to use demonic powers.

Eve's flight, for example, is the embodiment of her demonic powers.

The male protagonist also has his own demonic powers, and when he uses it, he can unlock a part of his body that turns into a demonic shape.

The first to unlock is the left hand, so the left hand becomes a demon claw.

The Devil's Claw can grab a certain distance forward to pull enemies to its side, and if there is a fixed object on the cliff, it can be quickly moved by pulling the fixed object.

In other words, this demon can grasp, attack, retreat, and have one more displacement skill.

At the same time, it also changed the way skills attack.

The pace of the game changes all at once.

……

With Eve's flight help, the hero can roll to his heart's content without falling, and the plank path is intermittent on the entire outer wall of the cliff.

There are even some places where the void is so large that it is not a human being able to pass through at first glance.

At this time, you have to rely on Eve's flight to pass.

However, Eve's flight is also limited, and it needs to consume an energy bar, which will only grow when it falls to the ground, and it will continue to be consumed when it flies.

If the energy bar is gone, it will also fall from the sky and die.

Another point is,Although it's flying,But after all, this is a 3D game with a top-down perspective.,So it's not so much flying.,It's better to say that Eve is walking along the plank road with the male protagonist.,It's just that there is a little distance between the feet and the ground.。

The whole process is almost fitting the plank road and flying.

However, even so, the whole battle was much easier.

Because the space to dodge has become larger, the margin for error is higher.

And when Eve is mounted on her body, there are two tubes of blood bars, one is Eve's blood, and the other is the male protagonist's.

If Eve dies, it will disintegrate.,And then leave the male owner.。

After a while, this guy will catch up with him again.

……

If you don't want to merge, you can select Separate in the menu bar, and Eve will exist as a helper.

Can help the protagonist to attack actively.

He's a good teammate who is close and close.

……

Flying all the way, fighting, passing through the narrow plank road, and finally came to the entrance of the Ice Wolf Fortress.

After entering the door, there is a wide circular square, which is divided into two parts.

One is a semicircular platform made of wood on top of the staircase, and the other is a semicircular sand field below.

From a top-down view, it looks like a Poké Ball from a Pokémon.

Thinking of this, Furukawa Hirosawa couldn't help but laugh.

It's been a long time, what is this called?

Does Pokeni pay tribute to himself?

Or is it a dream crossover?

Advertising another game?

However, it is also possible that he thinks too much about himself.

In the middle of each of the two semicircles, a humanoid monster stands.

These two guys have a long blood bar, and it's not very simple at first glance.

Their names can also be seen overhead—

The Rook Twins.

The styling of the two people is also unique.

The costume is designed in the form of a bird, or a white crow.

There are wide wings in the outer edge of the sleeves, and the pants of the lower body are very tight.

The two men each held two daggers in their hands, and at first glance they looked like agile assassins.

They were dressed in opposite colors, one of them was white and black, and the other was black and white.

It should be considered a small boss or an elite monster.,In short, it's not a boss blood bar.。

Although Furukawa Hirosawa didn't know what the boss blood bar in the Demon Egg looked like, he was sure that the blood bar of these two guys was definitely not.

……

After taking a few steps forward, the twins seemed to have a sense between them, one of them noticing Elwin, and the other running after him.

In this game, Pokeni has developed a complete set of [Hate Chain System], which is also set up to prepare for the future "Monster Hunter".

After grouping monsters, hatred is shared within the same group, and as long as one of them is attacked, it will trigger a siege by other monsters in the group.

And there is also a transmission range of hatred, not only within the group, but also if the player is close to multiple monsters, and these monsters in different groups are relatively close, they can also pass hatred.

The way the two people attack is like two hunting dogs, and they don't deserve to be called white crows at all.

Because they all get on all fours, and then they strike quickly.

Both of them launched an onslaught around Furukawa Hirozer.

Furukawa suddenly became nervous.

Because there is a cooperation between these two, and the movement is too agile, it is difficult to catch them.

After a while, both sides had their HP cut down.

One of them sprang out quickly, and it was a series of attacks on Furukawa Hirozawa.

I'm hiding.

Just dodge.

Backstabbing in the back.

The second monster arrived.

Serial attack, Erwin died tragically on the spot.

How can it be repaired!!

Why don't you guys fight Eve?!

……

One more time.

This time, Furukawa Hirosawa was cautious, cheered up twelve points, and was extremely focused.

After about ten minutes, he finally defeated one of them.

I saw that the guy covered his chest with his hands, and a large amount of black blood spurted out of his body.

Then he fell to the ground on his back.

Once that's out of the way, the rest is pretty straightforward.

The corners of Furukawa's mouth rose slightly, ready to launch a fierce attack on the other.

However, after about 5 seconds, he suddenly realized that something was wrong-

The guy who was supposed to be dead, with an eerie red glow all over his body, then got up from the ground again.

A burst of light poured out of its body, and the entire humanoid form turned into a monster.

The white crow became human as its name, because it also spread a pair of wide wings behind him, and the whole body of the man was like a large bird.

The guy can fly into the air and then swoop down again to launch a fierce attack on Erwin.

Unless he can use the Demon Claw to lock on, it will be difficult to inflict any substantial damage on him.

On the one hand, the demon is particularly difficult to grasp in real-time battles.

On the other hand, there is a twin brother next to him who is interfering.

Furukawa Ozer can take care of this, but he can't take care of that.

The whole game was unusually difficult and passive.

In a short time, he died tragically under the claws of two guys.

And several times in a row.

It's scary, this hasn't reached the boss yet.

Hirosawa Furukawa was abused to doubt life a little.

Who am I, where am I, who is there, who is beating me?

……

It turns out -

Humans parasitized by demonic eggs will die twice.

The first time is to be killed as a human, and after death, it will turn into a terrible monster due to the power of the Demon Egg, and then die again.

This is the case with the Rook Twins.

Of course, there are some miscellaneous soldiers like this, but Furukawa Hirosawa didn't pay much attention to it before, and thought that those miscellaneous soldiers had two lives.

If you think about it, these are actually the means used by Pokeni's designers to convey their worldview and setting.

Yes......

I see.

Furukawa Hirosawa frowned, finally having some understanding of the setting of this world.

But......

It's hard now, these two guys are terrible to work together.

Once again, Furukawa Hirosawa felt the horror of being tormented by monsters.

What do you say about this feeling?

The Demon Egg produced by Hidetaka Miyazaki seems to have been further strengthened on the monster AI, and compared to last year's "Princess Mononoke", although the expressiveness has been weakened, the sense of oppression and tension during the battle is progressive.

"The ......"

At this moment, the girlfriend next to him spoke weakly.

"Huh?"

Hirosawa Furukawa glanced back at Junna Yukitake.

"That ......" Yukitake hesitated a little, then looked up into Hirosawa Furukawa's eyes, "Can you let me give it a try." ”

"Huh? Well, yes, yes. ”

Furukawa moved to the side, then handed her the controller, "But this game is difficult. ”

"It's okay, I'll give it a try, I'm a little interested in seeing that you've been playing for so long."

The handle is handed over to Junna Yukitake.

The latter sniffed a little nervously.

After loading the respawn point, the battle resumes.

……

After Xue Zhu took it, he died twice in succession.

Furukawa was a little distressed.

These two guys, the white crow twins, don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, right?

It's a pity that the monsters in the game can't know the humans outside.

"At first, it may be a little too difficult to get started with such a guy, otherwise let's go back and find some monsters to practice first, right?" Furukawa Hirozawa persuaded.

"It's okay, I'm not familiar with it just now, just try more." Xue Zhu tilted his head and gritted his teeth, "I seem to have found a feeling." ”

One more time.

The white crow launched a fierce attack, and Junna Yukitake moved to the side to dodge, and then attacked.

The other one also arrived.

Yukitake rolled on the ground and continued to catch one of them onslaught.

The whole operation is smooth, and the action is done in one go.

I don't know why, but the handle seems to bloom in Xuezhu's hand.

Hirosawa Furukawa was shocked to see.

It seems that he can't believe what is happening in front of him.

It's breathtaking, and Xuezhu's progress is too great, right?

You know, ten minutes ago, this guy was a rookie who had never played an action game.

But......

This operation, this dodge, this combo...... It's too chic, isn't it?

Hiroshi Furukawa is a little skeptical about life.

Are we playing the same game?

Why is watching Xuezhu play games with a hearty and flowing enjoyment, as if watching a wonderful battle performance?

Erwin was originally stumbling on Furukawa Hirozer's hands, always unable to connect, and his rhythm was interrupted by the enemy, like a patient who was not breathing.

But now, in the hands of Xuezhu, Erwin has risen all of a sudden.

Become the greatest warrior in the Kingdom of Stars.

And the kind of warrior with brains.

In many cases, Yukitake's position is very confusing, and even Furukawa himself didn't understand it, but she was able to dodge the opponent's attack, and then shrink into the next safe range, just in time to be able to catch the next combo.

The most terrifying thing is that this guy uses the devil's claw, which is called a catch.

The Raven brothers were abused to death by her.

After a few moments, one of them was beaten to the point of bleeding and transformed into a demon form.

After flying, this guy didn't treat Furukawa Hirosawa with the sharpness at all.

At that time, it was an eagle soaring in the sky, but at this moment it turned into a weak chicken, and was suddenly grabbed in the air by Junna Yukitake with a demonic claw.

The whole person was pressed to the ground like a chicken.

Junna Yukitake took a beating, and then rolled.

Dodge another crow.

After repeating it several times, one of them collapsed again clutching his chest.

In an instant, there was only one white crow left on the field.

Nani?!

Is Xuezhu actually amazing?

Furukawa couldn't believe it.

My girlfriend is actually a Valkyrie?!!

How is this done?

Could it be that because Xue Zhu usually works as a surgeon, he has developed a skill in surgery, and he has become a genius when he moves it to the game?

No way!!!

An electric light flashed in Furukawa Hirozawa's heart.

Split his whole body to the ground.

I've been single for so many years, how can I not compare to a girl?!!

……

One more set, Junna will take the rest of the one with him, enter the demon form and kill it again.

It's just heartless.

Xue Zhu was as cold as a pioneer warrior.

Hirozer Furukawa was completely stunned.

"Good, good." Furukawa Hirosawa was dumbfounded and applauded Yukiku next to him.

The latter pursed his lips and smiled, a little embarrassed, "I learned everything from you, or did you teach it well." ”

"No, no."

It was at this moment that Hirosawa Furukawa understood that his girlfriend had an extraordinary talent.

Not on the operating table, but on the game.

This ability to react, the ability to control the timing, and the terrifying attack that is as fast and accurate as a scalpel, is simply amazing!

Hiroshi Furukawa admired it from the bottom of his heart.

"Otherwise, I'll be here today, it's too late." Junna Yukitake put down the handle and laughed.

Looking at the time, it was already more than 11 o'clock in the evening.

"Okay, okay. Hurry up and rest. ”

Hiroshi Furukawa went to the archive point first, kept the current records, and then stood up and packed his things.

Xuezhu has to go to work tomorrow, which really delays her too much time.

But thanks to Xue Zhu's reminder, otherwise, with Furukawa's previous living habits, I'm afraid that I will have to break through the Ice Wolf Fortress all the time and sleep after beating the first big boss.

……

……

At night, Yukitake pulled her bed to about an arm's length from Furukawa, and when she got into the quilt, she sniffed it and laughed happily.

Cheeks become flushed.

"Well, will we be together tomorrow after I get off work?"

Although tomorrow is Saturday, there is basically no such thing as a regular holiday for medical staff like Xuezhu.

"Okay." Hirosawa Furukawa laughed happily.

The mind is full of Valkyrie.

Seriously, Junna Yukitake's combat power was greatly beyond his expectations.

I never thought that a girl like Xuezhu, who seems to be soft and gentle, would have such a strong side.

Yes......

I'm looking forward to seeing Yukitake early tomorrow.

"Goodnight, then. Hao Zejun. ”

"Good night, Junna-chan."

……

……
