0046 Insect Technique
Next, the consistency of movements and the control of strength have become Li Ming's main training directions.
In order to make the [Three-stage Tail Blade Giant Swing] better integrated into the move system of the shield axe.
The next day, he added distance control to his training.
The difference in the trajectory of each swing of the Lightning Six Axes began to get smaller and smaller.
The intention of this is to allow attacks to converge in one point during actual combat, and to strike deeper at a single part of the monster.
In the hunting process, the combat part that requires full force for each swing is the most physically demanding.
Under the hard training, Li Ming's oversized appetite problem was also exposed.
In the evening restaurant, looking at the stick-like bones piled up on the plate, Li Ming didn't expect that he would be able to eat it like this.
Mi Duoduo paid for the meal of up to 272z, which was quite painful.
"You can eat enough when you go hunting, but you can't eat enough when you come back"
On the way back to the guild, Li Ming sighed.
"Ahh Haven't you eaten enough meow yet! β
Midodo exclaimed.
"Yes, it's six points full."
Li Ming patted his stomach and said.
"It's a bit expensive, but it's a good thing."
"A good thing?"
"Yes, Meow, when I paid, the boss told me that only a strong and unrivaled hunter would have such a large amount of food, and he also gave us a discount, hoping to come back often."
"That's right."
Li Ming raised his head and thought about it.
Unlike other worlds chakra, spiritual power, and other energy mediums.
The monster world only has a strong body born under the high-energy ecology.
In order to maintain the maximum strength of this body, it is necessary to ensure a certain amount of high-energy eating.
If food is regarded as energy, and eating is regarded as energy injection, then the amount of food can indeed be used as the basis for whether the hunter's physique is strong enough.
Eat a little more at each meal to allow the digestive system in the body to gradually adapt, and then output energy at ultra-high intensity, increasing the maximum strength of the body.
When the energy is released, the body enters a state of deep hunger, so that it continues to eat and replenish, forming a virtuous circle of two-way expansion.
Deep hungerβ eating, expanding food intakeβ energy release, tempering the body, β deep hunger.
Over time, a formidable hunter's body was formed.
Of course, this is the most ideal state, subject to limitations such as talent and other conditions, even with the blessing of high-energy ecology, only a few people can become hunters.
What Li Ming didn't think too much about was that the growth of food should be a slow process.
In terms of the intake time of high-energy food, as well as the time of ecological impact, he is far less than the natives of the monster hunting world.
So why do you eat more than the vast majority of them?
Under the moonlight, Li Ming looked down at the fog ball on his chest, feeling that he had found the answer.
At noon the next day, after steadily compressing the swing trajectory range of the lightning six axes to a width of half a meter, Li Ming stopped training and began to rest.
There is definitely room for improvement if you continue to practice, but for monsters with huge sizes, this level is enough at the moment, and the next step is the training of Xiangworm skills.
Returning to the insect box, pulling the insect silk and leaping and other operations, I have practiced and mastered it when I am free from hunting in the wild.
Li Ming wants to practice something different, and the first goal is the Flying Insect Skill [Fully Charged Counterattack].
It's a powerful move that integrates defense, energy bottle infusion, and counterattack.
However, the research did not go smoothly during this time, and most hunters had never even heard of the name of the move.
The few high-star shield axe hunters that I occasionally encountered in the Epheri Fortress only knew that the [Fully Charged Counterattack] did exist.
The difficulty of using it, coupled with the lack of attention from the inheritors, led most people to give up after a short attempt.
There are also a small number of people who have a slight success, and go hunting to try to perform, and eventually become missing persons, resulting in a healthy lineage of inheritance never appearing.
The birthplace of the Xiang Insect Technique is still like this, and the understanding of this trick in other regions naturally goes without saying.
Only Shui Yun took out a scroll of paintings after rummaging through the archive room, which was the only teaching material.
Li Ming, who was sitting on the sand, unfolded the painting scroll and saw a simple figure in the ink style, standing on the ground with a shield axe combining swords and shields.
Holding the shield in one hand, he grasped the hilt of the sword in the other and pressed down.
Several cyan worm filaments wrapped around the energy storage sword straightened and taut, extending diagonally to the ground.
"Is it gone?"
Li Ming flipped the scroll over and found that the ink painting was not only very abstract, but also only had a diagram.
If you don't have a certain understanding of the game's actions, you don't know what the other party is doing.
"No wonder it's lost. Wait a minute, if I master the fully charged counterattack, wouldn't the Xiangworm application assessment be casual? β
Li Ming quickly gained motivation and started researching.
Pick up the food and circle around the energy storage sword, and the entanglement of insect silk is quickly realized.
When the length of the worm silk reached the limit, Li Ming calculated the distance and put the food on the ground.
In order to be able to eat food, the insects rushed down with all their might, and the insect silk quickly tightened and straightened.
Standing on the sand with his forearm against it, Li Ming picked up the energy storage sword and inserted it into the gap above the shield.
If the impact of the shield can be directly converted into energy and injected into the energy bottle, it means that the sword and shield are docked in the way of energy injection.
After thinking about the principle for a while, Li Ming pressed the energy storage sword down to the appropriate depth.
Click~
Hearing the crunch of metal joining, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Wood's predecessor said that the energy of the Accumulator comes from vibration, and since the slash feedback can cause vibration, the impact of the shield can also cause vibration.
If the current shield axe with a sword and shield is regarded as a complete set of energy harvesting devices, the energy storage effect of [Fully Charged Counterattack] will be realized.
However, although the principle of energy storage can be explained, what is the meaning of letting insect silk wrap around the energy storage sword?
Li Ming looked at the cyan insect silk, and after pressing the shield axe down and standing firmly, he reached out and gently flicked it.
Airplanes~
The straightened threads were like strings, humming at high speeds.
Worm silk is used to amplify vibrations!
Li Ming was stunned.
Unlike the Charged Sword, which directly slashes and strikes the Charged Charge, the shock and vibration suffered by the [Fully Charged Counterattack] must first pass through the shield resistance and conduction before it is injected into the sword body.
If the impact is not very strong, it should be difficult to fill five charging bottles at once.
At this time, insect silk is needed to amplify the vibration twice.
After comprehending the principle, Li Ming became clear about the direction of training.
First of all, when the energy storage sword is injected vertically, the Xiang insect must respond positively, quickly wrap around the sword body, and drag the insect silk tightly.
In addition, since it is a defensive move, the movement must be fast, and it must be done in one go.
At night, the Fortress of Falipa is distributed.
"The training ground is always open at night?"
Facing Shui Yun's answer, Li Ming was slightly surprised.
"Yes, because there are many hunters who want to take the three-star assessment, and there is a need for night training, so the village chief of Fuxian decided to open at night for a long time."
Shui Yun confirmed.
"So don't even think about having the trapfrog alone at night. By the way, can the Night Trap Frog be activated with a super coin? β
"What are Supercoins?"
Shui Yun showed a puzzled expression.
"Okay, I'm going to train."
"Uh, are you really following that secret cultivation move?"
Shui Yun asked tentatively.
"Yes, I've already felt it."
"Don't rush to apply it to actual combat with monsters because of your small achievements in the training ground, this is a very dangerous behavior."
Shui Yun said solemnly.
"I understand."
After dinner, Li Ming decided to adjust his schedule and switch to night training.
[Fully Charged Counterattack] Since it can only be launched when it is attacked, only the water balloon cannon fired by the trapfrog can meet the training needs.
Lining up to put in 20z coins, Li Ming raised his head and said to the operator Ailu on the top of the trap frog: "I'm going to train to resist water balloon cannons, and the firing interval is a little slower, thank you." β
"Okay meow! When the yellow flag falls, it is about to be launched, a total of five water balloon cannons, please pay more attention. β
Ai Lu on the console finished speaking, and pulled down the lever.
The head of the trap frog moved down, and the pitch-black muzzle in the mouth was facing Li Ming, who was standing still.
Water polo cannons are specially prepared for defensive training, but hunters who train with trapfrogs are generally attacking.
Therefore, everyone in the audience was a little curious about Li Ming's actions.
Puff~
The muzzle of the cannon shuddered, and a huge balloon of water shot out.
Insects wrap around the sword body, sword and shield combination.
Puff~
The water splashed, the water balloon shattered, and Li Fan, who was in a hurry, was directly knocked to the ground before he could put on a posture.
"Li Ming, are you okay?"
Mi Duoduo asked with concern.
"It's okay, I've only practiced all afternoon today, and this situation is normal."
Li Ming got up after speaking.
"Why don't you do some prep actions before the water balloon launches? Just like when you train. β
Mi Duoduo asked puzzled.
"Because of the monster's attack, it won't leave me a chance to prepare in advance, and the breath and spray will be faster than the water balloon."
Li Ming informed.
"Is this one okay?"
Operator Elu shouted in question.
"It's okay, let's go ahead."
Poof~ The water balloon flew out again.
Knock down, get up, knock down.
The water balloon cannon fired five shots and five hits, all of which knocked Li Ming out before the [fully charged counterattack] stance was formed.
Li Ming, who was slightly embarrassed, was not annoyed, and while summarizing the mistakes, he walked to the end of the line and continued to line up.
The people present still recognized his perseverance, but they didn't understand what this shield axe hunter was practicing.
At 10 a.m., eighty percent of the hunters involved in the training had gone.
It's not that they are not hard enough, and they are not tough enough to survive Li Ming.
Rather, attack training is much more physically demanding than defense training.
Two hours later, the last hunter squad to practice said goodbye and left.
Li Ming finally realized the exclusive trap frog.
Seeing that Operator Ailu was already sleepy and couldn't open his eyes, Mi Duoduo and Li Ming glanced at each other and climbed onto the operating table.
"Go take a nap, meow, I'll keep an eye on you here."
Midodo suggested.
"Are you here to substitute for the shift, thank you so much."
Operator Ailu let out a sigh and rubbed his eyes with the back of his paws.
"That's right! Be sure to confirm the coin insertion before you can activate the trap frog. β
"Well, don't worry, meow, everyone calls me the iron-faced and selfless Mi Duoduo."
Mi Duoduo glanced down briefly, then puffed up his chest and gave a stern assurance.
"That's a lot of meow, I'll go take a nap for an hour. See you tomorrow, super resilient hunter. β
"See you tomorrow, I wish you a good dream."
When Operator Ailu left the training ground, one person and one cat looked at each other and smiled, and began crazy training with water polo cannons.
Li Ming admits that the trapfrog is much more advanced than the trap dragon in the sandstone cave.
But the price of a training session of 20z is a little too expensive.
The morning sun rises and the sun shines into the training ground.
After the night training, the first batch of hunters who got up early for morning exercise were quite surprised to see Li Ming, who was still conducting defensive training, who had not slept all night.
Puff~
Facing the incoming water balloon cannon, Li Ming pestled his shield into the sand.
The energy storage sword was raised, and two flying insects flew out of the insect box, quickly circling several times with insect silk.
Whew!
The energy storage sword was inserted into the shield energy storage slot, Li Ming stepped forward to the shield with one hand, grabbed the hilt of the sword with the other hand and pressed down, standing steadily.
This set of smooth and fluid movements was finally completed before the water polo cannon touched.
Poof!
The water balloon cannon that slammed into the shield exploded, and the taut worm silk hummed.
The energy storage sword in the state of sword and shield chimera directly injects the energy accumulated by vibration into the charging bottle.
Several golden electric sparks erupted from the open shield.
"Meow made it!"
Midodo on the console jumped and cheered.
"Nope."
Li Ming dismantled the shield axe and stood up straight again.
"Why meow?"
Mi Duoduo asked puzzled.
"My body slid backwards for a distance, causing the impact not to stay all on the shield, so the energy injection was not complete, and with the impact of the water balloon cannon, even if the speed was fast enough to completely resist, it may not be able to fill five energy bottles at once."
Li Ming explained why.
The game experience is very helpful in analyzing and implementing moves, but there are many differences compared to reality.
For example, two insects need to work together to entangle the energy storage sword, and the vibration increase brought by it can reach the standard.
For example, the impact must be fully borne by the shield, and the body used as a support must not retreat in the slightest, so that the impact can be fully transformed, and so on.
But Li Ming was not discouraged, to be precise, he only practiced for a day and a half, and the [fully charged counterattack] had already taken shape.
After that, the training will continue to improve the speed, modify the details of the movements, and sooner or later there will be a chance to apply it to actual combat.
"Li Ming, why are you wet?"
Chu Ying, who came to the morning exercise, asked curiously.
"Training gets it. By the way, the trap frog is free for a limited time, so hurry up and practice. β
Li Ming reminded.
"Ahh How did Midodo become an operator! β
Bubu looked up and exclaimed.
"Morning, Bubu Meow, come and take over, meow, we're going back to rest."
Midodo said with a wave of his claws.
One man and one cat said goodbye.
Return to the residence on the second floor of the guild branch.
Li Ming took off his equipment, washed up briefly, and prepared for bed.
Suddenly, I noticed a noise coming from the backpack, and after rummaging, I found that it was two rodents in clear glass bottles that were fluttering.
Rodents can be turned in as injection materials, but these two living organisms, Li Ming had plans to study, so he stayed.
Stuffed with two pieces of raw meat, Li Ming held the bottle in front of him and said, "You settle down a little, and when I find time to finish my research, if you can still survive, I will release you." β
I don't know if it's the effect of fresh raw meat, or if this is really useful, the rodents crawl on the wall of the bottle and really quiet.
The sleepy Li Ming and Mi Duoduo lay on the bed and fell asleep.
