In the evening jungle, the silence was noisy, mosquitoes formed large black clouds over the jungle, buzzing and flying, and some smaller creatures ran quickly over the bushes and trees, looking around vigilantly.
A small chipmunk emerged from a burrow in the ground, stood upright and looked around, and when he was sure that there was no danger nearby, he quickly ran to a large tree and picked up the fallen pine cones from the tree. The two little paws touched the pine cone and sent it to their mouths, and there was a crunchy sound in their mouths, which was trying to bite through the hard shell of the pine cone. Even when eating, the vigilant eye is still looking around, beware of possible hazards.
As vigilant as it was, it didn't notice a dark shadow lurking in the grass behind it.
The shadow suddenly moved, and the little chipmunk was pinched by a large hand, and after a squeak, it was pinched and exploded.
Resolving the presence that blocked his view, the black shadow continued to crawl in the grass, looking at the camp tent in the distance.
Damn, the target is gone!
It was just a split second that the target suddenly disappeared. Where did he go? Did he go into the tent, or was he behind the boulder?
The dark shadow was confused. He raised his body and tried to broaden his horizons as much as possible, trying to find his goal.
He tried to stretch his neck a little straighter, a little higher.
A deep voice suddenly came to mind: "Are you looking for me?"
The black shadow was horrified, and before he could make a sound, his neck was broken.
Gently putting the body down, Xiu Yi fumbled with the items on the black shadow's body: "Poison dagger, insect repellent, smoke and mask, none of them, this guy is a poor ghost." ”
"There are six more people. Asahi whispered.
"Maybe seven. Huey was a little unsure. He retreated backwards with his hands and feet, like a large reptile.
The other six people, scattered in various other corners of the jungle, are all veterans of jungle assassination, and may not be very strong, but they are quite skilled in stealth tracks. It's a pity that they don't know that they are dealing with an alchemist, a genius boy with a scout bee to keep an eye on his surroundings, and it is almost impossible to be sneak attacked.
Deftly gliding across a meadow, Thu quietly approached another Assassin, who was slowly approaching the camp. He walked slowly, but there was no sound. If you capture his movements as a shot and put it on the frame, you will see a silent slow-motion shot. Although it is in slow motion, it is calm, calm and continuous.
Most of the Assassins were extremely patient and resilient, and in order to get the best chance of attacking, they could lie in ambush for days in the toughest conditions, waiting for the moment. Their fighting spirit may not be very strong, but each of them is proficient in the technique of concealing the aura, and their mastery of the fighting spirit is definitely very high. This determines that their frontal combat capability is relatively weak.
An Assassin who is manifested is equivalent to death.
At least today's people interpret this truth with their lives.
Covering the other party's mouth, the poison dagger in his hand was quickly inserted into the opponent's heart from the back and then withdrawn, Xiuyi's technique was precise and ruthless.
This small dagger for Assassins does not emit the slightest light, making it ideal for assassination at night.
In this environment, this small dagger that is not worth a single Jinwit is even more valuable than the Dark Blade.
Putting the body down, Huey threw himself into the night like a ghost.
Breathe, without the aid of magic, and try to imagine yourself becoming one with the darkness. It was as if Hue had returned to the moment when he explored the valley at night on the island. At that time, I didn't know magic, I didn't understand magic, and I only had a little rough fighting skills. However, it was with this skill that he successfully comprehended the restraint and extrovertence of the fighting spirit, and successfully comprehended the concealment, although it was only the most superficial understanding, but at that time, his progress was huge.
However, after that, Xiu Yi rarely had this understanding again, and rarely was able to understand the subtlety of the use of so much vindictive energy overnight. He used to be because he had enough understanding of vindictiveness, so it was difficult for him to improve. But at this moment, he finally understood the reason.
It's not that he can't progress, it's because he's too dependent on magic.
If it was before, he would not hesitate to bless himself with various spells. Wind magic made him faster, soul spells helped him hide himself further, space spells allowed him to go where he wanted to go without even having to move, and all kinds of magic brought so many benefits that he neglected to achieve the same goal with fighting energy.
His dependence on vindictiveness decreases, and there are fewer opportunities to exploit their use value.
Well, in the same way, magic should be the same, right? The weak link of magic is also covered up by the samurai, he has degrees and skills, so he does not rely much on the use of magic, and as his strength increases, his magic use skills progress stagnates.
It is no wonder that there are so many strong people in the world, but no one has ever been able to achieve extraordinary achievements in both aspects of magic and martial arts.
Perhaps, this is the most important reason.
Because they complement each other, they have a great effect, but they also limit their progress.
There are no shortcuts to the path of cultivation, and it seems that I will have to put some restrictions on myself in the future. In some non-essential moments, using only a single ability as much as possible may help you grow a lot.
No one had ever reached two peaks in magic and vindictiveness, and Xiui himself didn't know what the consequences were. But if you can do it...... Xiui couldn't help but shudder.
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
He didn't understand, he didn't understand, at least no one had done it before, so there wouldn't be an answer before his eyes. But at this moment, Xiu Yi has an unprecedented direction in front of him.
Yes, break through on both fronts at the same time and see what the real limits are in this world.
His brain was spinning, and one terrifying thought after another came to him. Since coming to this jungle to cultivate, not only has his strength increased every day, but even some strange ideas have kept appearing. No longer committed to intrigue in life, after the brain that has become accustomed to high rotation has changed the goal of thinking, all kinds of thoughts have appeared in his mind, which makes him excited.
His hands and feet still stopped, and he quickly approached the third assassin. Before the other party appeared, the sharp dagger had already slashed through his throat. With the brilliant blood flowers, the killer lay silently in the grass.
Huey was like a ghostly ghost, drifting in a silent slaughter in the jungle.
The fighting energy of the body kept flowing, but it was like a quiet stream, not flowing out of the body at all. In the past, when the samurai used their fighting energy, a little bit of this power from within the body would always leak out. Therefore, when the samurai are working at full strength, their bodies will emit energy rays of various colors. This is also why it is difficult for a person with a vindictive spirit to assassinate the opponent, because the strength of the luck will make the target opponent aware of the existence of abnormal energy around him. In particular, high-ranking samurai have an unusual ability to sense this kind of fighting spirit that contains strong hostility.
And high-level assassins may not have a lot of fighting energy, but they must have the ability to make their fighting energy almost leak out when they are running.
Unfortunately, they have not yet fully integrated with the natural environment, and I have heard that some Assassins have been able to deceive not only the senses, but even the sights in the concealment technique of vindictiveness. They blend perfectly into the natural environment, and even if you stand in front of your eyes, you will find it difficult to see his presence.
What kind of concealment skills are needed to reach this point, Xiu Yi can't imagine, at least not now. He even doubted that such an ability existed. But there was a vague feeling that he thought it should exist.
Continuing to deceive, the fourth Assassin had approached the camp. The Assassin chose a good hiding position, with a small water furrow behind him, which allowed him to avoid being seen by anyone coming behind him.
This good habit can prevent him from being counter-assassinated.
Xiu Yi noticed that if he didn't kill the Assassin, it would be difficult to get close to the remaining three Assassins, because the location of those three people was in the Assassin's field of vision. If you deal with others first, I'm afraid it will be easy for him to show up.
He looked around with some headaches. If it had been before, he would have not hesitated to solve this problem with magic. A single soul blast could knock the Assassin into a coma, and he could easily kill the opponent without any problem.
But now he wants to try to solve the problem using only vindictiveness.
There must be a way, Xiu Yi tried to rack his brains.
It's impossible to get out of the way when you're in a hurry, but you might be able to get close to him at the same time as he appears, killing him before he can make a sound.
It's not difficult to get close, Xiu Yi has mastered the explosive use of Dou Qi, and he can complete an instantaneous sprint, the only problem is how to not let Dou Qi escape from his body when he bursts Dou Qi, so that others can appear.
He held his breath and tried to compress, compress the energy of the fighting qi.
But instead of being fully compressed as before, he tried to split the Dou Qi energy into two streams. One is used for explosives, and one is gathered on the surface of the body to shield the escape of fighting energy.
He had never tried to use his Dou Qi like this before, but at this moment, he forced himself to continue to dig into the way of using Dou Qi.
Fortunately, as early as when he was in Royo City, he had already understood the veins of most of the Dou Qi operations by briefly rising to the seventh level of warriors, and had mastered the tricks of their materialization, so he also understood a lot of the principles of the operation of the Dou Qi. It's just that at that time, I was too eager for quick success and didn't fully display the essence of these truths.
It's like a student who comes out of school and has mastered many mathematical formulas, but has never had the opportunity to apply them in substance.
But today, he can use at least one of them - the use of Douqi diversion.
Xiu Yi divided the fighting qi in his body into two equal forces, one for exploding and the other for covering up the aura. He had never done it before, but it wasn't too difficult to use at the moment.
Approaching his opponent step by step, Huey felt that it was almost time. The fighting spirit suddenly exploded in his body, running on his feet, and a huge reaction force shot Xiu Yi at his opponent like a cannonball. Before the Assassin could react, the dagger in Huey's hand had already slashed through the Assassin's throat.
"Pounce!" The slight sound produced when the fighting qi burst at that time has only now come out.
Damn it!
Xiu Yi couldn't wait to scold, the first time he used his fighting spirit, after all, he still lacked experience in mastery, and he ignored one thing.
Two strands of fighting energy, one is used to explode, and the other is used to cover the aura of the wall. Although his method of equal distribution is balanced in strength, the energy of the explosion is actually far greater than the power of blocking. This is like the relationship between pressure and pressure, in the case of the same pressure, the smaller the affected surface, the greater the pressure. Therefore, Xiu Yi was unable to completely cover the escape of the aura generated when the fighting qi exploded, resulting in a trace of energy being released.
Sure enough, the three assassins in other places moved at the same time, apparently sensing that something was wrong.
Each of the Assassins was extremely alert, and they reacted quickly as they retreated to the rear.
Can't let them run away.
A fierce look flashed in Xiuyi's eyes.
He could only gamble on one thing now, and this vindictive outward escape could not let the assassins be sure that he was being revealed. It's entirely possible that some Assassin accidentally revealed his own aura. The Assassins could sense the Fighting Qi, but it was impossible to sense who released it.
Their retreat is an instinctive form of self-preservation, and they will not reopen until the situation has been determined, so they will continue to remain silent.
This is the last chance, and they must all be assassinated when they retreat to safety, otherwise Harry Gearns and the others will be alarmed.
Xiu Yi didn't hesitate any longer, and quickly threw his body into the darkness, this time he was more careful in distributing his fighting energy. The explosion just now enabled him to grasp the direction of flow when the fighting spirit exploded. On the one hand, he redistributed the Dou Qi, and on the other hand, he also distributed the energy used to shield the Dou Qi when it exploded according to the path of the Dou Qi's flow, no longer masking, but focusing on masking.
The fighting energy in his body continued to explode in a small area, and Xiu Yi adjusted the position of the energy in his body at any time, and at the same time quickly approached the opponent under the cover of the surrounding trees. This is a very extreme consumption of physical and mental power, in exchange for a short period of time and better concealment, but Xiu Yi is desperate to master his new way of using his fighting energy.
At first, a small amount of vindictive energy escaped, which made the retreating three assassins wonder what was going on. In this silent jungle, they did not dare to call out to their accomplices, so they could only withdraw one after another.
One of the Assassins had barely retreated when a dark shadow was already running towards him. The huge killing intent contained in the familiar small amount of exuding Dou Qi energy almost made his soul fly out of the sky. He didn't even have time to shout, he had already been killed by Xiu Yi's sword.
Five assassins, all killed in one hit.
Xiu Yi looked sideways, snorted slightly, and chased forward again, the scout bee was always staring at each other, and from time to time the opponent's position was transmitted. This kind of jungle assassination in silence made Xiu Yi feel extremely stimulated, and he was immersed in the thrill of distributing fighting energy, approaching his opponent quickly and endlessly, and killing his opponent.
He began to understand that the world was so big that there was still a lot to learn and understand.
The figure walked high through the extreme darkness, bringing the slightest wind sound, but the fighting spirit that could escape was becoming less and less. Hue once again approached behind an Assassin, but this time, the Assassin seemed to be a bit of a skill.
He sensitively sensed that someone was approaching in the rear, and he knew that his companions would never approach him in this way, and that those who approached him now could only be enemies.
Without looking back, a jet-black long sword swept backwards, the assassin's attack method was very extreme, even if he shot, he would not leak the slightest energy. The way they use their power is so clever that the sword itself doesn't have much power, but if the opponent rushes with all his might, it will crash into the sword itself.
The rushing figure suddenly stopped, and there was a slight "huh", obviously shocked by this sword.
For Xiui, these guys, who were generally only about level four, had a considerable level in terms of alertness, concealment ability, or combat skills, far from being comparable to the fourth-level samurai he had seen before.
If a fourth-level samurai like Bailey were compared to the assassin in front of him, he would probably only be killed by the opponent's sword.
Wielding the superficial power to the point of being used, especially in stealth assassination, it is really different environments and different needs to create different talents.
However, admiration is admiration, and Xiu Yi still made a quick response.
In terms of the ability to stop the fighting spirit, he had already comprehended it on Purgatory Island, so at this moment, he stopped at the black sword, and it could be said that it was only 0.01 centimeter away from the tip of the sword. However, Xiu Yi didn't plan to have anything to do with the assassin, and the next moment, a small pebble had already come out of his hand.
White Dou Qi energy wrapped around the stone, turning an ordinary stone into a terrifying killing weapon, piercing the back of the assassin's head and sinking into the forest.
The assassin's body shook a few times and fell.
This hand was learned by Xiu Yi from the four-winged fanged beast in the alchemy tower. Since magic can be attached to an object, so can vindictiveness. During this time, although the improvement in ability was limited, it was not at all at all.
The sound of the Assassin crashing to the ground alarmed the last Assassin.
He was already certain by this time that this was not an accident caused by some of his accomplices, but a killing in the hands of the enemy.
The thought frightened him so much that he suddenly quickened his escape.
is no longer committed to hiding himself, and the explosion of fighting energy has also begun to increase significantly. Fortunately, it was much farther away from the camp at this time, and the people on the other side of the camp did not notice it. Xiu Yi also no longer concealed himself, all his fighting energy was enough on the sword in his hand, and under the direction of the scout bee, he suddenly took off his hand and threw a fierce sword towards the void.
This sword, wrapped in a large amount of fighting energy, made a fatal roar as it traveled through space.
A splash of blood exploded in the woods, accompanied by a groan of pain.
Huey paced slowly, and as he approached, he could clearly see that the last assassin had been anchored to a large tree by the sword, and his eyes were still open in horror as he died.
"Whew, it's all settled. Xiui let out a long breath.
This seemingly simple jungle counter-assassination attempt, from beginning to end, only took ten minutes, but the process was full of thrills. Even for Xiuyi, it was the first time that such an extreme use of vindictive energy was used.
The real attack was only seven times, but the fighting energy in his body was extremely consumed.
However, compared to the previous battle with Warcraft, tonight's progress was more obvious, and he gained a lot.
When I was having fun, I was alerted to the omen in my heart, and a cold chill rose from the bottom of my heart and quickly spread all over my body.
"Oh no!" Huey almost screamed.
He didn't hesitate anymore, he didn't even have time to dodge, and with all the fighting energy in his body, he shot forward like electricity.
A trace of wild fighting energy exploded behind him, hitting Xiuyi's back.
Wow!
Xiu Yi spat out a large mouthful of blood, he didn't stop, he shot forward frantically, and in the dark night, a broken alloy steel pierced the cold and cold light of death, like a desperate death chasing Xiu Yi.
