Chapter 16: Sneak Attackers

When Fang Hao entered the gate of the village, he saw that in the area enclosed by stone walls and mountains, houses of different heights and sizes were arranged in a patchwork manner.

The architectural style of these houses was different from the country houses he had seen before, and there was a bit of an exotic atmosphere.

The village was not large, and he walked through it carefully and slowly, and it took him only twenty minutes or so to walk through it.

Most of the houses have their gates directly on the side of the road in the village, and there is no so-called front yard. However, there is a yard at the back of the house, where some unknown fruits and vegetables are grown.

Many houses have doors and windows open, so you can see the general situation inside the house from the outside.

The furnishings inside are very simple and relatively neat. Some tables have dishes with unknown food; Some of the clothes were hung outdoors, as if they had just been washed and dried.

On the side of each house, there is a grazing pen enclosed by a wooden fence more than two meters high, large or small, which contains a lot of livestock dung, but no living animals.

There are traces of human life everywhere, but there is not half a human figure in sight.

In the middle of the village, there is a small three-story building, which looks much more imposing than the rest of the houses. The doors and windows of the house were broken, the interior was in disarray, and blackened blood stains could be seen in many places.

Fang Hao didn't go in to take a closer look, this large-scale murder scene made him feel very uncomfortable.

This feeling is not brought to him by the talent of the derivator, but the natural reaction of a peaceful dog in a civilized society.

Although Fang Hao knew that since he would have to cross frequently in the future, finding a way to gain a foothold in the Metaverse to protect himself was an inevitable goal, and adapting to this kind of gore had become a necessary quality.

But he hoped that day would come later.

He was afraid that if he accepted this too early, it would lead to a distorted mentality, and when he returned to their civilized society, he would become uncomfortable.

After all, there are many things that are irreversible, and once you go through them, you can never come back.

There are more than 30 families in the whole village, and a rough estimate is that there should be 150 to 200 villagers living here. If the corpses hanging from that tree were all people who had lived here, there would be more than a hundred people missing.

If the villagers go out to avoid trouble, they should always bring some clothes or something, at least they should also bring the prepared food, and there will be some traces of chaos in the house.

However, in the vast majority of premises, no signs of this were seen.

So the biggest possibility is that the villagers were all temporarily gathered and then forcibly taken away.

Most of the people who can do this kind of thing are the murderers who committed bloody crimes in the big family in the village.

The bandits plundered all the people in the village, and although the purpose was unpredictable, they did not want to invite them to a banquet.

The chances of the villagers returning here are very low.

Fang Hao felt that he could consider settling here for the time being. At least a place where more than 100 people once lived, it was safer than wandering in the wilderness. It's not a long-term solution, but it doesn't seem like a better option right now.

However, it is still necessary to be careful, in case a villager suddenly runs back, it is not necessarily that he will be regarded as a good person.

So he walked through the village again, ready to find a suitable house and survive the rest of the time.

As he walked, he suddenly felt a strong palpitation, followed by a vision in front of him, seeing himself from a third-person perspective.

[Fang Hao walked forward less than ten meters, the half-covered door of the roadside house suddenly broke open, and a figure rushed out with a scimitar in his hand, and slashed at him with a knife. 】

[He didn't even see anyone clearly, so he was slashed in the neck, and blood shot out. 】

it!

Fang Hao was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly stopped, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Someone actually sneaked up!

But I just looked at that house not long ago, and there was no one at all, when did that person sneak in?

has had the experience of escaping death in the "Flying Liang Dao Realm", and when facing the fate of being beheaded, he can still keep his mind undisturbed.

The feeling of palpitations still did not dissipate. Fang Hao thought for a moment, leaned forward slightly, and made a posture to move forward.

Then, as he had thought, a vision appeared before his eyes again.

[Fang Hao walked forward less than ten meters, the half-covered door of the roadside house broke open, and a figure rushed out with a scimitar in his hand. 】

[He expected it this time, and quickly turned around and blocked with a short knife. 】

[The figure slashed the short knife in his hand with one sword, and slashed directly at his neck, and blood shot out. 】

This time, through the illusion, Fang Hao saw the face of the murderer, a bearded man with brown hair, a high nose and deep eyes, with a bare chin, and he didn't look very old, it was estimated that he was in his twenties.

Could it be that the villagers here fled back and mistook him for a murderer?

Fang Hao's mind turned, and he made a gesture to move forward, leading to the illusion again.

[Fang Hao walked forward seven or eight meters and said to the roadside house: "I'm not a bad person! ”】

[After waiting for a while, the people in the house did not respond.] He added: "I am not a murderer. Then he threw away the short knife in his hand and took two steps forward with his hands raised. 】

[The half-hidden door of the roadside house suddenly broke open, and a man rushed out with a scimitar in his hand, slashing him in the neck, and blood shot out. 】

Depend on!

Is it because of the language barrier?

But I raised my hands to show that it was harmless, why did I cut off my neck without saying a word? Is it so barbaric!

Thinking about it again, that guy came up and cut him, obviously trying to kill him, and didn't give him a chance to explain at all. I am afraid that this style is not the villagers at all, but the fierce bandits who ambushed and prepared to harvest the fish that slipped through the net.

Thinking of this, Fang Hao once again triggered the illusion.

[Fang Hao walked forward less than ten meters, the half-hidden door of the roadside house broke open, and a Hu man rushed out with a scimitar in his hand. 】

[He had expected that when the door was broken, he turned around and lowered his right arm diagonally, and pulled out the short knife in his hand upwards. 】

[The knife that Hu Ren was about to cut immediately retracted, and smashed the handle of the knife into his outstretched arm. 】

[At the same time that the short knife in his hand slashed the opponent, his forearm was also hit by the hilt, and the short knife fell out of his hand. 】

[The man took two steps back, a look of surprise on his face, and then bullied and swung his knife again.] 】

[He barely dodged the first knife, but was slashed in the neck by the second knife, and blood shot out. 】

Seeing that he had hurt the other party this time, Fang Hao was overjoyed. It seems that it is not without a fight, and being able to anticipate the enemy aircraft first is his biggest advantage.

Immediately, the old trick was repeated, and the illusion was once again triggered.

However, he proved to be a little overly optimistic.

In the next seven consecutive visions, each time he ended up being slashed in the neck by the Hu man.

And his best record is just a hole in the opponent's body.

Although the Hu man doesn't seem to be a master, otherwise he wouldn't even have room to resist.

But the other party is stronger than him, and his speed is faster than him, and he also has the advantage of height and arm length, and even the knife in his hand is longer than his.

Fang Hao found that this one couldn't fight at all.

The reason why he was able to hurt the other party was all because of surprise, and this kind of opportunity is often only once. However, the slight injuries inflicted on the other party are not enough to change the balance of strength, and then he will become the target of slaughter.

Since you can't beat it, let's run!

After this naΓ―ve cognition appeared in Fang Hao's mind, he was about to turn around and flee, and then an illusion appeared in front of him.

[Fang Hao sensed the danger ahead, and suddenly turned around and ran after stopping. 】

[A Hu man jumped out of the house not far behind him, and the scimitar in his hand flew out of his hand, slashing Fang Hao's neck with a whoosh. 】

Hemp eggs!

Fang Hao's body suddenly stiffened, and then he didn't believe in evil again, once again triggering the illusion of escaping.

This time, he had a lesson from the past, and naturally guarded against the Hu man throwing a scimitar, but he was still beheaded with a knife.

After trying several times in a row, Fang Hao finally realized that the Hu man was actually better at throwing scimitars.

If the opponent's melee level is 3, the level of throwing the scimitar is at least 8, which belongs to the kind of ultimate move that hits 100%.

The conclusion is that there is no life in escaping.

The problem is that his combat power may only be 1, and he can't take advantage of melee hand-to-hand combat, and the opponent can kill him with a flat A.

But even kindergarten children know that the gap between 3 and 1 is smaller than that of 8.

So comparatively, the chances of melee combat are greater.

Since there is no way out, there is only a fight against the water!

When people only have one choice left, they don't have too many distractions.

Fang Hao calmed down and walked forward to draw out the illusion.

From the time he discovered the danger to this point, he triggered no less than twenty illusions, experienced processes such as fighting, fleeing, shouting, etc., but each illusion was only a moment in the real time of the outside world.

On the contrary, he spends more time thinking outside of visions.

But it only took a dozen seconds in total.

As he triggered the illusion again and again, he soon discovered that time would pass very slowly as he thought about it while looking at it.

This reminded him of the strange dream he had before. Although it is not outdated, it is certain that the dream will definitely not take more than twenty minutes to the outside world.

And in his dream, he experienced nearly thirty years of continuous life.

With the first step, he triggered nearly a hundred visions. Although they were all cut off their necks without exception, they basically figured out the path of the Hu people's scimitar.

Just as the experience in the dream can be transformed into his own experience and skills, he now has a lot of understanding of melee combat.

However, this does not mean much to change the tide of the war.

Because his fighting awareness may be able to reach or even surpass that Hu man, but his body is not trained, even if he knows how to deal with it in his head, his hands and feet can't keep up.

After understanding this, Fang Hao was not discouraged. At the second step, the strategy was changed.

It's like playing a game, and you can't beat the stake output, so fly a kite in a circle, and use the terrain to fight with the monsters.

Although there are no creeps here, there is terrain to take advantage of.

Fang Hao went through nearly a thousand attempts, and finally found a countermeasure when he took the ninth step.

He has conducted dozens of trials to prove that this routine can be replicated, with a probability of success of more than 95%.

Although he didn't achieve a 100% success rate, his life was still a little dangerous, but he didn't dare to continue trying.

After triggering more than a thousand illusions in a row, he clearly felt that his body functions had decreased, and his brain did not react as quickly as before.

It is estimated that it is in the Metaverse that the vitality he consumes can be replenished to a certain extent. If it were in their world, they would have been exhausted and slaughtered.

At this time, Fang Hao was still more than three meters away from the door, about five steps away.
