Chapter 16: Teach a little
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, another few months passed.
Going out hunting with Lancelot was Gong Hao's happiest and freest time. Although Lancelot said that he would not teach him anything more, the truth is that even oaths are broken sometimes, let alone such casual words.
Of course, Lancelot won't teach Gong Hao any more formally, but that doesn't stop the blonde boy from learning what he wants to learn in his own special way.
For example, sometimes Gong Hao would show off his little progress in front of Lancelot, and he would shout at Lancelot: "Oh, sir, look, I can cut this little tree." ”
Then he would see Lancelot's disdainful eyes, and tell him in a tone of contempt that it was not something to be proud of to break a small tree. And he should not only use the strength of his arms when exerting force, but should learn to use the strength of his body to increase the strength of his hands. The operation of the fighting spirit should not be limited to a certain part, and should be distributed throughout the body according to the change of force, and different distribution ratios will have different effects.
As a result, Huy Glore, who had always been wise, lost no time in becoming stupid, as if he couldn't understand what Lancelot said. Lancelot had to go into detail and even have to do some demonstrations to understand. He began to understand that the regulation of power is also a type of skill. How to coordinate the strength of the whole body and limbs, how to distribute the strength, how to change the strength.
When he had finished speaking, Lancelot would regret it again, as if he had said too much.
But it's all said and done, you can't let this kid forget it again, can you? Kill him? That definitely won't work. With this little guy by his side, he really saved a lot of effort. Not to mention that he cooks for himself every day, even if he goes out hunting, he can also serve himself comfortably. He would always try on Lancelot's blood-stained armor as soon as he had fought in battle, and lay a gorgeous carpet for him to prevent him from sitting on the grass during his rest, or pluck a delicious fruit for him.
There are many fruits in the jungle that are not edible, but there are also rare fruits that are delicious and sweet. Lancelot didn't know the difference and wouldn't use it easily, but Gong Hao, who had already read the entire library, knew everything.
He is also very observant of his surroundings, Lancelot can sometimes get lost in the foggy jungle, but the little one can always find his way.
Lancelot felt that his job had become much easier since he had this little guy with him on his hunting trips.
This made him turn a blind eye to Gong Hao's vindictive learning.
Of course, in order to get what he wants to know from Lancelot, there is not only one way to do it.
Sometimes they get into trouble while hunting.
Once, Lancelot was catching a sixth-level demonic beast, and Gong Hao was carefully observing and learning this guy's movements in the back. Unexpectedly, a blood ape appeared on his side. This is a second-level demonic beast, and its combat power is average, that is, its strength is extremely great.
Probably because he knew something about these two people who had been in and out of the jungle for a long time, the blood ape knew the power of the guy wielding the long sword, so he wanted to attack Gong Hao.
As soon as it appeared, it roared and pounced on Gong Hao. Gong Hao could have chosen to immediately use the ability of the thrust to escape the attack, but when his mind turned, he gave up dodging and was slapped away by the blood ape.
This slap went down, if it wasn't for Lancelot coming to the rescue in time, I was afraid that Gong Hao would never want to stand up alive again.
Afterwards, Lancelot thought that this kid was too weak, so weak that he couldn't even dodge the sneak attack of a second-level demonic beast.
So he decided to teach this kid something more, anyway, with his current skills, it would be impossible to escape from Purgatory Island even if he improved ten times. Besides, unless he discovers the island's secrets, there's no need to flee.
"I think I have to tell you something about what a samurai should be aware of when fighting. There has always been a misconception in people's thinking that magicians are a symbol of wisdom, and warriors only use brute force. In fact, this is a big mistake. In fact, in order to be a good samurai, you must possess two qualities: calmness and intelligence. You must know that the growth and use of fighting spirit is only a foundation of samurai ability, and the skill of fighting is the key to bringing this foundation into play. These skills are all the experience of countless ancestors who have exchanged their blood and lives, and they are the crystallization of wisdom. Compared to the ornate and grandiose magic, the samurai are the ones who really use their brains to fight. Otherwise, against a powerful enemy, you only know how to rush forward, which is tantamount to looking for death. ”
"First of all, to be a great samurai, you have to know yourself. You have to know what you can and can't do. When a threat comes, it makes far more sense to have a solution that you can skillfully use than one that is powerful but not skilled enough. No jerky tricks are allowed in combat, which will kill you. ”
"Secondly, you have to know your opponent. You have to know what your opponent is before you can make targeted choices. In the jungle, we face Warcraft. And Warcraft is actually the best to deal with. You must know that the strength of human beings does not lie in their own strength, but in our ability to sum up experience, use various means to make up for shortcomings, and make us progress, which is the biggest difference between us and Warcraft, we can use tools, will strengthen ourselves through various training, invent all kinds of weapons that are beneficial to ourselves, create traps, and even fight together. But Warcraft is different. Most of them act on instinct, no matter how powerful they are, they act on instinct, they don't fight with their brains, and they have fixed habits. Even if they understand this, they can't change it. Their intelligence is not enough for them to use all kinds of tricks in battle. ”
"For example, this blood ape, when it attacks the enemy, it always has a habit of yelling. This is its habit, and it is also the attack habit of most ape-like Warcraft and Tiger and Leopard Warcraft. If he yells at you, it means it's going to attack you. If it bends down and squats on the ground, it means it will leap into the air, and if its shoulders are retracted, it means that it is going to punch hard. Even if the Blood Ape knew about its habits, it would not be able to change them. So as long as we master these habits, it is easy to have a corresponding solution. ”
"Tell me Gler, what did this monkey do when it attacked you?"
Gong Hao immediately replied: "It squatted down, and then tucked its shoulders." ”
"yes, that means it's going to jump over and hit you, so what do you do?"
"I should have dodged it as soon as it jumped, so it wouldn't be able to attack me. ”
"But you didn't do it. ”
"I was terrified, sir. "
"Calmness is the most important factor in survival in battle, high-intensity training can only make you proficient, but calmness in combat can prevent you from making mistakes. You can't learn to be calm, and when danger comes, you will only die. ”
"Yes, sir. Gong Hao smiled happily, being able to immediately give up resistance when the blood ape attacked in exchange for Lancelot's teachings, which was not just something that could be done calmly.
"Then I'll tell you the third point. After you understand your own abilities and master the habits of the other person, you have to do one more thing, which is to fight back. The samurai never forgot how to fight back. Even in the most difficult situations, don't forget to fight back. Because if you don't fight back, you will always be suppressed by your opponent. ”
"I see, sir. ”
"It's good, remember that we are human. The most important characteristic of human beings is that even if they encounter powerful creatures, they can always find a way to restrain them. This is a big reason why we are the head of all souls. Enemies of humanity...... There will always be only human beings. ”
The enemy of humanity will always be humanity. Gong Hao savored the words given to him by Lancelot, and it could be seen that this Sky Warrior also had a bitter past. Perhaps that's why he's been on Purgatory Island for twenty years.
"Okay, now I'll tell you about the skills you have to master in combat, there are many things that may not seem flashy, but they are very important. For example, a small sideways movement has a lot of knowledge in it. Remember, when your opponent swings his right fist at you, you have to move to his right, yes, to the outer edge of his arm, because that's where his attack is dead, and no one can hit him head-on with his right hand, after all, the elbow is always turned in, unless it's some anti-articulation creature. If he wants to keep attacking you, he will have to shift his body and keep facing you head-on, but then he will slow down and lose an offensive advantage. At this time, if you can make a fierce counterattack, you are already in sight of victory. Your best way to attack is to dodge sideways and hit him hard at the joint of his right hand. Then you will find that if you strike an outstretched arm from its outer edge joints, you can break it with very little force......"
"In the face of some monsters that like to pounce, it is far better to dodge to the sides than to actively bully forward, attacking from the lower part and the rear, but this is dangerous, you must be able to clearly grasp its jump distance and act quickly the moment it takes off. Remember, hesitation is the most important thing in a fight, and instinctive reactions are far more valuable than thinking clearly before punching, and that requires a lot of experience......"
"When you're dealing with a big strength opponent, it's not just dodging, and guerrilla tactics are just talking, because your opponent can use the rocks on the ground to attack you from a distance. The best thing to do is to find an obstacle to hide in no time. Huge people usually don't spin very easily, so take advantage of the opponent's slow rotation and quickly launch a surprise attack, go around his back and aim at the joint, but don't try to kick him in the knee. Because if you want to deal a fatal blow to his knee, you have to face him and kick it head-on, and you can kick him and get hurt at the same time. But if you kick him in the knee from behind, your opponent will be able to reduce the damage by bending his legs, and the damage will be very small, which is called an out-of-joint attack. So if you manage to get around his back, the spine is your best area to attack, and you have to keep an eye on the key points and hit the ...... with one hit."
Lancelot began to chatter.
Gong Hao felt as if he was squeezing toothpaste.
He could always squeeze something out of Lancelot's mouth whenever he wanted to.
Although every time he taught Hueglare, Lancelot would shout, "Oh, I'm talking too much again, don't think about what I'll teach you next time." ”
But in fact, it was not difficult to extract some skills and experience in the use of vindictive energy and combat from his mouth.
And as Gong Hao's experience in surviving in the jungle improved, he found that he could already compete head-on with some second-level demonic beasts. According to Lancelot, in terms of strength, there is not much difference between the strength of a junior warrior and a first-level demonic beast. But if you really want to fight, Warcraft will be defeated.
The reason for this is that they have a fixed attack habit and a shallow combat IQ, which allows humans to always grasp the weaknesses of the other party and attack. Only some Warcraft with a high IQ above level 7 can compete with the samurai of the same level of human beings to some extent.
Therefore, for Warcraft, there is an absolutely obvious gap between those above level seven and those below level seven. This gap is not reflected in combat strength, but in the embodiment of their intelligence.
On this day, Gong Hao was fighting with a second-level demonic beast, and in the midst of a bitter battle, he suddenly felt that the growth of the fighting qi in his body had increased significantly, and he slashed out with a sword, and actually split the demonic beast in half with a sword.
He was amazed and delighted in his heart, and shouted at Lancelot: "Look, my lord!"
I saw that his fighting spirit was turning, and a metallic luster appeared around his body.
Lancelot smiled, "Congratulations, you're advanced." From today onwards, you are a true junior bronze samurai. ”
Below the seventh rank of samurai, the ranks of the first to third rank samurai are bronze samurai, black iron samurai, and silver samurai.
The samurai of the fourth to sixth ranks are the Vajra Samurai, the Iron Blood Samurai, and the Flame Samurai.
Therefore, the first three orders of samurai are also called junior samurai or ordinary samurai, and the middle third order is called war samurai, that is, samurai who play a decisive and huge role in war. The last three are the Free Samurai. The Star Samurai is a quasi-holy rank, so it is also called the pinnacle samurai. Hiroshi Xianggong said to Lancelot "You are a peak samurai", which is pure sycophancy. But then again, the ninth-level Sky Warrior should indeed belong to the peak level, but the size of the peak is different.
After each samurai rank, there will be a significant increase in fighting energy, which will cause the flesh enhancement effect to appear, and produce a metallic color.
At this time, what Gong Hao's body showed was the performance of the fighting spirit overflowing the whole body, so Lancelot could see at a glance that he had advanced.
So from this day on, whenever he encountered some weak demonic beasts on the road, Gong Hao would be responsible for sweeping them out, and Lancelot and his old man would no longer do it.
Perhaps because he found that he was much easier again, Lancelot thought that maybe he could teach Huigler more things, so that in the future, the third-level demonic beasts would not have to take action on their own.
However, it didn't take long for him to think that maybe he could hand over the cleaning of the fourth-level demonic beasts to him, so that he would save more effort.
The cultivation of human inertia will always grow rapidly, and before Gong Hao has grown to that point, Lancelot already feels that it should be a good idea if he can hand over all the cleaning up of demonic beasts below level seven to him.
However, that meant that Huy Gler would have to become at least a fifth-level Predator.
It's been a while.
Lancelot decided to nurture this kid well.
Anyway, there are more than 200 puppet warriors in Hines's castle, and there is his own, no matter how big this kid is, he can't get out of his own palm.
Unconsciously, Lancelot is getting farther and farther away from the standard of "only teaching a little" set when he taught Gong Hao.
—————————————————
There aren't many magical beasts to catch today, and Gong Hao and Lancelot came back early. Lancelot was a hermitage hut, and Gong Hao had to come back to the library to record and check the work of the servants in the various areas.
It was still early to see the time, and Gong Hao decided to go and see Area 56 first.
"Hey, Hong, are you pretending to be your wife again?" Gong Hao said with a smile to the male blazing bird "Red".
Hong Yangtian hissed, obviously unconvinced.
Although the blazing birds look exactly the same to humans, regardless of their feathers or coat color, Gong Hao still found a little difference between them.
When they are happy, both red and green will flutter their wings and hiss in the sky, and if you look at their eyes at this time, you will see that the eyes of the male blazing bird will be slightly red, while the female will be slightly greenish. So Gong Hao named them Red and Green.
An easier way to do this than to look at the eyes is to observe their behavior. Midori prefers to be clean, and often cleans up his feathers when he has nothing to do. Red has a much more violent temperament and always likes to stay at the mouth of the cage.
He knew it was the only way he could get out.
And whenever it's time for Midori to draw blood, Red will drive his wife to the cage and clean up the feathers himself...... Even now, Red still hopes to be able to fool the thralls, but this time the thralls have changed their magic number plates.
However, for Gong Hao, the attitude of red and green is much better.
may know that it was Gong Hao who saved Hong, and Hong never lost his temper with Gong Hao.
Seeing Gong Hao coming over at this moment, Hong shouted at Gong Hao a few times, look at what it means, I didn't show my red eyes, how can you still know that I am red?
It doesn't make sense that he knows he's red before he even looks at the number plate.
Gong Hao opened the cage door and walked in, touched the head of Green who was guarding the cage, and said to Hong: "You don't know how scary you look at the cage." Green doesn't have your fault, you pretend to be green, but you don't look like you in green. ”
So that's the case, Hong shook his head and looked up to the sky and screamed a few times. He was also very helpless about his wife's "non-cooperation". If Egje had been so observant, Red would not have almost died.
"Okay, it's time to let Midori out for fun today, do you need me to accompany you here?" Gong Hao said, turning off the first layer of magic barrier and sending Midori out of the cage.
As soon as he came out of the cage, Midori immediately spread his wings and flew up in a hovering iron cage, letting out a cheerful cry.
Let a blazing bird go out for a walk every day, this is Gong Hao's proposal.
Since Red Health returned, Andrew also felt that it was a good practice.
He didn't come out of kindness.
The blazing bird can get more freedom and be happy, and its physical recovery ability will be better, and it can draw more blood.
Red looked at the reluctant appearance of the green love outside the cage, and yelled at the green a few times, apparently urging his wife to go out and have a good time. If he could, he might have hoped that his wife would never come back.
Gong Hao walked over to Hong's side and gently stroked its wings.
This is a very dangerous action, the Blazing Bird is a ninth-level demonic beast, when Lancelot faced two Blazing Birds alone, with the help of more than 20 puppet warriors and those alchemy props given to him by Hines he barely defeated them, and captured them at the cost of all the puppet warriors, and I heard that he also lost a certain high-level puppet.
The magic cage will imprison most of the flamebird's power, but even then, it can be very dangerous to get close to it. In addition to their powerful flame-spitting abilities, their steel claws, iron wings, and long, sharp beaks can kill people in all of them. Every time the servants draw the blood of a blazing bird, they must numb it beforehand. The anesthetic of the great alchemist Hines is very powerful, and it can work on most of the demonic beasts, but it is the seventh-level poisonous python that has super anti-poison ability, and the anesthesia is useless to it, so it is necessary for Lancelot to do it himself and teach Gong Hao the cultivation method of fighting qi.
However, Gong Hao is not worried about Hong's horror, because Red will not attack him.
He stroked the red glossy fire feather and said softly, "I know you actually want to go out too." You'd love to fly in the sky with your wife, to be free, right? Not like now, where you can only be together every day in prison......"
"Yes, Red, I'm stuck on this island, just like you. I also want to be free, I want to get out. Trust me, Red, no one knows what you're going through better than I do. Because we are simply sympathetic. ”
Gong Hao said softly, and only at this time could he say something from his heart. He didn't know if Red could understand, but he knew that Red must be able to feel the sadness in his heart.
Red lowered his haughty head.
The Elemental Bird was a large bird, standing on the ground, almost as tall as Gong Hao, but the next moment, it began to shrink its body, and its mouth kept spitting fire elementals.
With the eruption of fire elemental energy, its body gradually became smaller, like an ordinary bird, resting on Gong Hao's shoulder.
Gong Hao took out some of Red's favorite hazelnuts from his pocket and let Red's sharp beak peck at his palm.
Gong Hao had seen in the records that some magical beasts could freely control the size of their bodies, which allowed them to come and go more freely in some special areas. This process of enlarging or shrinking the body is actually caused by the absorption and release of energy.
Although Gong Hao didn't know what it meant for the Blazing Bird to shrink his body at this time, judging from the fact that it was resting on his shoulder, it was obvious that he was expressing his friendship.
Even though Red can't speak, that doesn't stop him from expressing his emotions in his own way.
This is an affirmation of Gong Hao, and it is also a thank you for helping him and still doing his best to make their lives happy.
Gong Hao smiled happily.
At that moment, Fink suddenly ran over in a hurry. Tomiya Hao became the head of the servants, and thanks to his advice to Fink that day, Fink was lucky to stay until now and has not been taken away.
Seeing Fink's eager look, Gong Hao knew that something was going to happen again.
Sure enough, the next moment Fink shouted, "Huey, Huey, a ship, a ship is coming!"
"What?" Gong Hao was taken aback: "This is impossible! ”
"It's not the Liberty, it's another ship. Fink shouted, "Lord Andrew has gone to the port, and he wants me to tell you to let you go too." It looks like some big guy is coming. ”
