003 The first battle
Cheng Tianxiao focused on observing the other two Qi Cultivators and found that they were only slightly worse than Lin Yongqing, but their true energy volume reached more than 4,000, and their purity was more than 300, and one was even higher than Captain Lin. The difference in purity was mainly reflected in the level of the practice technique. However, the high true energy value does not mean that they have strong strength.
There is also a saying in measuring the combat effectiveness of a cultivator in this world, which is "cultivating instruments, techniques and techniques".
A weapon is a weapon. A magic weapon will definitely greatly improve personal combat effectiveness. A good armor often saves people from life and death, and its impact on combat is undoubtedly very huge. So for warriors, weapons are like their second life and life roots. In order to find a good weapon that suits them, they are even uncomfortable to give them all.
Method is a skill. If you have a unique skill, it is normal to win by challenging and winning at a higher level. Cheng Tianxiao can easily keep up with mercenary warriors who are several levels higher than him with his unique skill-level body skills, which is also the best proof.
However, skills refer to skills, experience, and cultivation obviously refers to cultivation. Every level of improvement has a considerable improvement in true energy and purity, which can greatly increase the endurance of combat and improve the power of skills. However, this improvement has not yet reached an overwhelming level, so people have ranked its role to the end.
Of course, this ranking is controversial.
Some people think it should be classified as "Material Arts and Techniques", while others think "Techniques and Techniques and Techniques" are more reasonable, and of course some people support "Meterial Arts and Techniques".
These are all disputes between ordinary cultivators in the martial arts world, and their cultivation has always been at the end in their rankings.
There are other sayings at the top, "cultivating skills", "cultivating skills", etc. Those who truly possess great magic power, those powerful weapons, skills, etc., seem a little bit too little, and have the smell of breaking all kinds of things with one force.
Such disputes are often accompanied by interests. The major weapon refining families naturally hope that everyone will put weapons first in order to enhance their status in the world and increase the price of top-quality weapons. Therefore, under their hype, the most widely circulated saying is "artifacts, techniques, and techniques".
After all, advanced skills cannot be easily obtained, and weapons have hope of pursuing better ones.
For some reason, the status of senior weapon refiners on the mainland is very high.
He talked less, but he said that the team members had rested for more than ten minutes and then got up to continue on the road. In fact, the mercenaries did not consume much, mainly because they were concerned about Cheng Tianxiao. They didn't know that Cheng Tianxiao had a secret technique that could automatically practice and recover while rushing.
In order not to make people suspicious, Cheng Tianxiao ate a Huiyuan Dan himself. Anyway, he refined it himself and did not feel wasted. He often ate it like a candy at home.
This time when I set off, my speed dropped significantly, because there was already a monster-invading area in front of me, so everyone had to be careful.
The formation of the team also changed slightly. Zhou Qingjian, the best light skills player, explored the way in front, and was dozens of meters away from the team. Among the remaining people, Lin Yongqing was in front, two physical cultivation was on both wings, and the other was cut off the back, while the employer Cheng Tianxiao was in the middle. This is also a traditional protective combat formation.
Cheng Tianxiao did not want to play the role of being protected. He came this time to participate in the battle in order to find opportunities to break through the realm, so now he was more eager for monsters to come more violently, so that these mercenaries could not take care of themselves, so he had a chance to take action.
It seemed as if he could sense his heart, and his dream came true soon.
After running for five or six miles, Zhou Qingjian, who was climbing up a small slope in front of him, suddenly bent down, turned his head and made a series of gestures.
Lin Yongqing immediately slowed down and shouted in a low voice, "There is a group of third-level grass wolf in front of him, with a population of fifteen. Let's be careful and bypass them."
Cheng Tianxiao shouted in excitement, "Why don't you kill them?"
"If you get bloody, it will attract more monsters. I am afraid that there will be more obstacles along the way and slow down the task progress." Lin Yongqing turned around and explained in a low voice. He was also a little surprised about the employer's war. As mercenaries, they were used to various battles, but at any time, they would put the task first. If it was unnecessary, they would not waste their energy to fight unnecessary battles.
"It's the same way when you come back. Maybe you will encounter it again. Instead of fighting with mission materials, it's better to solve them now, so that you can be unobstructed when you come back and your speed will not be affected." Cheng Tianxiao's eyes rolled and he immediately found a reason to convince Captain Lin.
"Indeed, Captain, this time, Brother Cheng specializes in collecting herbs, we save a lot of time. We just need to focus on fighting. This first wave of monsters flee without fighting, which is very unlucky!" Yu Ming shouted. He is a physical cultivator and especially likes to fight.
The two physical cultivators in the team, Yu Ming and Yu Qing, are two brothers. Cheng Tianxiao scanned their bodies. The true energy capacity is very low, but the body strength is amazing, both of which are as high as eight or nine hundred. The muscle lumps are full of explosive power, and the muscle density is amazing. It is estimated that ordinary swords cannot cut them. Both of them are carrying a giant alloy shield as big as a table, with scratches on them, showing their master's glorious battle history.
Cheng Tianxiao estimated that this huge shield weighs at least 100 pounds. If an ordinary person is photographed, he will probably turn into a pool of rotten meat. However, the two brothers carried it, but they were as relaxed as if they were carrying a small wooden board, and they did not affect their speed at all when they ran wildly.
Lin Yongqing didn't hesitate much. Since the employer and the team members supported the war, they could only warm up. So he made a few gestures silently, and the formation of the team changed rapidly. Xin Xiaoqing, who was originally behind, suddenly jumped onto the earth slope in a few steps. He took out a folding bow from behind with great skill, and then pulled the bow after unfolding it. All movements were extremely fast, like flowing water. With a few breaths, he had already shot several arrows in succession. The wolves there discovered that there was an enemy attack. The howling sounded, but three of them had fallen down first.
Cheng Tianxiao widened his eyes. He didn't expect that the female swordsman who was silent and quiet was so fierce. Judging from her age, she seemed to be the youngest in the team, only twenty-five or six years old, and her cultivation was the shallowest. Her true qi value was just over four thousand, and the data in all aspects were far behind. Unexpectedly, this move made him feel astonished. He was almost blinded. Before he could react, three wolves fell down there. Two of them were killed in seconds and continued to shoot arrows. At her speed and the distance between the wolves, it was estimated that when they approached, they could destroy two or three more, so that one-third of the enemies would fall.
"A long-range attack point is indeed very important in the team. Whether it is to attract monsters first or chase the remaining ones, it has obvious effects. Although Qi cultivator can also emit true qi and use skills to attack long-rangely, it is far less than the distance between a bow and arrow." Cheng Tianxiao thought to himself, standing on the slope, looking down at the rushing wolf pack, thinking about it, the configuration of a team is quite important, and anyone who has played online games knows it.
After a few breaths, the wolves had already rushed to a range of fifty meters. At this time, Zhou Qing raised his swordsman and three black lights shot out from his fingers. Cheng Tianxiao had a strong mental power and instantly reacted and found that these three black lights were actually three slender darts.
It turns out that this guy is still a master of hidden weapons, but the distance is a little farther away. Only one of the three darts hits, and the other two fly by the grass wolf, only causing damage to the skin.
He hit the target but did not kill it, but the speed of the three wolves obviously decreased. It seemed that the dart was "informed".
The distance between hidden weapons is not as good as that of bows and arrows, and the lethality seems to be inferior, but the slowing effect may come in handy in key battles.
These battles only happened in the blink of an eye. Zhou Qingjian seemed to have just flew two darts to try his accuracy, and did not intend to keep raiding the target, so he did not continue to raid.
The heroine Xin Xiaoqing did not draw arrows, but only pulled the hollow string, but used the true energy to condense a few white qi arrows, and some cold air came from it. It seems that the heroine Xin is practicing the water-based technique, condensed ice arrows, which have the effect of freezing and slowing down.
Sure enough, three arrows were fired at once and several waves. The remaining nine wolves were all hit, and their speed decreased by 30%. The momentum that was running wildly weakened, and at this time, they had already rushed to the bottom of the small slope.
"Kill!" Yu Ming roared excitedly, waved the big sword in his hand, rushed straight down the slope, and did not take out the big shield. Yu Qing looked at his elder brother in depression, and shook the giant shield in his hand in dissatisfaction. He wanted to protect his employer and not follow him.
Zhou Qingjian and Lin Yongqing also rushed into the battle group with their long swords, and Xin Xiaojing also replaced a thin sword, but did not rush, but stood in front of Cheng Tianxiao as another line of defense at the forefront.
The battle at this time was mainly composed of the three people in front. Yu Ming was incredible and the huge sword in his hand was also a powerful force. Every time he swung, he had the momentum to break the earth and break the mountain. Although the third-level grass wolf was fierce and terrifying, he could not get any benefit under his command.
"Good come! Hey!" In Yu Ming's loud roar, another wolf was cut down, and his entire head was almost cut in half. The bloody and cruel fighting style was extremely terrifying. But Cheng Tianxiao was so excited that he could not rush down if it weren't for Yu Qing blocking it.
However, after measuring his strength, he found that he could not handle these third-level prairie wolves. Although these mercenaries fought easily, they were warriors who had experienced many battles and enjoyed a reputation in the town.
Lin Yongqing and Zhou Qingjian's moves were just the norm, probably because they were reserved and did not use their true qi and skills.
The cultivators in the Zhoutian realm can only barely deal with the second-level monsters. If they want to take over the third-level monsters, they must at least enter the first and second levels of the orifice. Lin Yongqing and others have the strength to enter the third level of the orifice, which is a little easier.
Although he did not participate in the war directly, Cheng Tianxiao felt that he had gained a lot from watching from the side, and he couldn't help but concentrate on scanning these monsters one by one.
