"The square-faced captain is good at melee combat, and two other team members are also good at melee combat. The female team member is good at magic, and the last team member is good at long-distance combat. Two newcomers in the promotion zone, the middle-aged lady is good at changing guns and weapons, and the other one is good at knife skills Melee."
Xia Ruize combined the seven people in front of him, plus the testers he met before, and found that the most number of testers used cold weapons, followed by the number of testers who used guns and guns. , the amount of using magic is very small. As for Gao Hexuan who met in the last world, they are very special cases.
It seems that most of the mission worlds experienced by the testers cannot be separated from the world of cold weapons and the world of hot weapons.
On the surface, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian's abilities seem to be melee and long-distance combat with cold weapons, but what is really special about them is their blood.
Soon, the rest time was over, and all the soldiers were called up to start the afternoon training.
Among the 300 soldiers, except for the No. 60 corporal, of the other 240 soldiers, only the 100 or so remained in a good state of mind. The other 100 or so soldiers were much more depressed than in the morning.
The training tasks in the afternoon are mainly physical training. The items are very common, that is, frog jumps, push-ups, high leg jumps, and short-distance round-trip running. What is unusual is that the soldiers have to wear heavy full-body armor to do it.
The bearded man thought he was familiar with Xia Ruize, and Xia Ruize's reticence did not prevent him from taking the initiative to talk:
"Hey, look at this anti-spirit armor. It's made of real materials! It protects people tightly, and it's indeed a special supply for the city guard team! It's not like the leather armor we usually use, but it can also protect the stomach."
Xia Ruize saw that the other party was putting on and knocking on the armor cherishingly. He realized that the free spirit hunting warriors should be inferior to the official guard team in terms of weapons and protection, so he nodded in line with his identity.
I was thinking in my heart, wondering if his protective armor is useful against so-called evil spirits in this world
It is not enough to let the soldiers wear armor. Whether it is leapfrog or push-ups, the soldiers need to carry iron blocks on their backs.
The training items are ordinary, but the training intensity is very high. After an hour, some soldiers began to pass out, and were dragged to the edge of the martial arts arena by the corporal leader, while others continued to train.
After four hours of training in the afternoon, the martial arts arena stopped raising dust, because the sweat from the soldiers had soaked the ground.
With Xia Ruize's physical fitness, he felt exhausted. As soon as the training was over, he immediately walked to the edge of the martial arts field and sat down to rest.
At this time, only the captain and him were left in the Wu where he was sober.
The soldier who missed both breakfast and lunch fell first, and the soldier who only missed breakfast finally fell down after two hours. The bearded man also passed out at the fourth hour.
Including sixty corporal leaders, only one hundred people insisted on completing all training tasks.
"Xiaoxia, right? You're really good. Work hard, maybe you might have a chance to become a member of the official guard team."
The corporal leader was also very tired, and he sat down next to Xia Ruize, panting and praising.
Today's training volume is heavier than their official city guard team's daily training volume, but after high-intensity training, it can be seen that there are still some good seedlings among these temporarily recruited spirit hunters.
Xia Ruize nodded repeatedly, showing the attitude of a taciturn person expressing his gratitude.
Then there was an hour of dinner time. Dinner was as rich as lunch, and it was provided for all soldiers, except of course, the unconscious ones.
After dinner, all the soldiers were gathered in front of the high stage of the Martial Arts Arena, and the captain of the guard team introduced the situation of the evil spirits to them, only to listen to the captain's loud training:
"I know that some of you have been spirit hunters for many years, but I guarantee that you will see more evil spirits on the full moon. If you don't want to lose your life, you'd better give me your life. listen."
Xia Ruize didn't know if others were good or not, but he was listening very carefully.
In the second quest world, he got a booklet introducing mutated creatures at the beginning, which was of great help to him in the next quests. Now that he had the opportunity to get acquainted with the enemy openly, he certainly wouldn't let it go.
"The low-level evil spirits that need to be paid attention to are the 'possessed evil spirit', 'smiling evil spirit' and 'giant evil spirit'.
You should have heard about the possessed evil spirits. If you have a big wound on your body, you may be targeted by the possessed evil spirits. As for what those disgusting possessed evil spirits will do with your body, I think you Not interested in knowing.
The strength of the Laughing Evil Spirit is relatively ordinary, but it is only the size of a fist. The consequence of a small target is that if you don’t pay attention, you will ignore it and get close to it. If you hear a sudden laugh from your comrades around you, don’t hesitate to attack it directly up.
Giant evil spirits are big and destructive, but they are also the easiest to spot. When you see giant evil spirits, don't hesitate to shoot them with a spirit crossbow. Wearing the spirit stones of giant evil spirits can gradually increase your strength, and killing more giant evil spirits will give you more spirit stones.
Among the mid-level evil spirits, the more difficult one is the 'Shadow Evil Spirit', if you allow the Shadow Evil Spirit to hide in your shadow, you will be blessed..."
After introducing all kinds of difficult evil spirits, there is another more important process in the evening gathering, which is the distribution of spirit stones.
When the captain said that he was going to distribute the spirit stones next, Xia Ruize obviously felt the spirits of the people around him startled. Even the little soldier who was about to fall asleep suddenly woke up and stared intently at the captain on the high platform.
"Today is the first day of training for our temporary moat team. In order to reward everyone's cooperation, everyone who has eaten three meals today can get two spirit stones! Those who only eat two meals can also get one spirit stone !"
As soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of cheers at the scene. There were about forty soldiers who ate three meals in the morning, lunch and evening, but there were about 150 soldiers who ate two meals.
In other words, the training mission on the first day allowed nearly two hundred soldiers to get the spirit stones. In this way, for these free spirit hunting warriors, it was only a matter of hard work and sweat to get the spirit stones, which was far more than usual. It's easy.
Amidst the cheers of the soldiers, the captain then emphasized:
"Of course, the special reward is only today, starting from tomorrow, those who eat all three meals can get one spirit stone, those who eat two meals for two consecutive days can get one spirit stone, and at the same time, those who eat three meals for two consecutive days can get one spirit stone. Anyone who doesn't get it will be eliminated."
The training in the afternoon was very exhausting, and some soldiers missed dinner directly in a coma.
At this time, when they heard that there was still a penalty of elimination, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. The spirit hunting warriors are most aware of the importance of spirit stones, and of course they are unwilling to leave the temporary moat team and give up this good channel to obtain spirit stones.
In Xia Ruize's team, Xia Ruize and the bearded man got two spirit stones, and the soldier who passed the spirit crossbow practice in the morning got one spirit stone. The one who persevered not only did not get the spirit stone, but also faced the risk of being eliminated, and his face was very ugly at this time.
In addition to putting the two spirit stones in Xia Ruize's hands, the corporal leader also handed a booklet to Xia Ruize, exhorting:
"This is the "Soul Transformation Jue" specially provided by our city guard team. It is twice as fast as the common method of transforming spirits on the market. Show them both."
Xia Ruize was wondering, but fortunately, the bearded man solved his doubts in time:
"Wow, Captain, this year's Ping'an City is really generous. If we use our own method of transforming spirits, it takes about ten days to dissolve one spirit stone. After learning your spirit transformation formula, wouldn't it be possible to dissolve a spirit stone in five or six days?" one?"
"Hmph, that's right, so you have to perform well, maybe you can take this opportunity to become an official member of the city guard team, and there will be some benefits for you to enjoy. Okay, okay, take a look, after reading it, you must I'll go back."
The corporal replied proudly.
They, the soldiers of the official city guards, faced the scattered spirit hunting warriors, and their status was naturally higher. Both the treatment and the method of cultivation are much better than the sporadic spirit hunting warriors who have no organization and no support. Now seeing the envious eyes of the bearded man, the corporal leader will naturally benefit from it.
Xia Ruize understood now. He turned over the two plain stones in his hands, and began to read the brochure handed over by the corporal chief in the afterglow of the setting sun.
There are only three pages in the booklet. The most critical part is a formula. If you read this formula while wearing a spirit stone, the speed of dissolving the spiritual power in the spirit stone will be accelerated.
After Xia Ruize wrote down the formula, he handed the booklet to the bearded man. Compared with Xia Ruize's casual attitude, the bearded man was much more cautious. He wiped his hands on his body a few times before taking it carefully. The pamphlet, after reading it patiently and meticulously for a long time, handed it to the teammate who got a spirit stone.
As for the last soldier of their team, because he didn't get the spirit stone, he wasn't even qualified to read the brochure, so he could only sit aside and stare at Xia Ruize and the other three with envy in his eyes.
After memorizing the formula of Hualing Jue, Xia Ruize has been reciting it silently. However, it may take a long and meticulous process to dissolve the spiritual power in the spirit stone, and Xia Ruize didn't feel anything special after reading it for a long time.
Isn't this so-called spiritual stone not as good as the various fruits in the previous mission world
Xia Ruize's heart moved, and he took the initiative to activate the [Natural Shelter], which can quickly extract life energy. At this moment, he could obviously feel a thin thread of energy connecting to him from the spirit stone, and began to transmit the spiritual power to him.
With the combination of formula and talent, Xia Ruize finally confirmed that the spirit stone has a buff effect. As for the specific buff effect, it will not be known until all the buff effects are resolved.
After the spirit stones were distributed, the whole day of training was over today. Taking advantage of the last rays of the setting sun, the soldiers took a quick cold shower in the open-air grass shed and then went back to their respective barracks to rest.
Cheng Huaiqian absolutely didn't want to be separated from Xia Ruize, so he gave away the two spirit stones he had just obtained, one for his corporal leader and one for Xia Ruize's corporal leader, allowing the two corporal leaders to accommodate. At night, Cheng Huaiqian was allowed to squeeze in Xia Ruize's barracks, so that the two "brothers" could rest together.
The two corporal leaders just lamented that the two brothers have a good relationship. In front of Lingshi, this little matter can still be accommodated, but they just told Cheng Huaiqian to be smart and return to their corps in time when they are assembled.
Xia Ruize watched as Cheng Huaiqian took care of the two corporals in threes and twos, and gave one of his spirit stones to Cheng Huaiqian with a smirk.
"We can sleep in a tent at night, I'll try to set up an illusion on the Datong bunk."
"Yes, then we might as well take the opportunity to leave the barracks and see what's outside."
Cheng Huaiqian was eager to try. He and Xia Ruize had already arrived in the same barracks, so they only needed to set up an illusion to hide it from others.
As the night darkened and everyone in the barracks went to bed, Xia Ruize activated the [Phantom Follow Your Heart] skill, and patiently added an environment for himself and Cheng Huaiqian, so that others saw them as if they had seen a layer of glass, and could see them directly. Seeing the situation on the opposite side, ignoring the two people in the middle.
Then Xia Ruize set up an illusion on the Datong bunk in Wu's barracks where he was staying. No matter who looked at it, he would think that Cheng Huai was asleep at the position next to the wall, and this illusion would not only deceive the eyes, but also deceive the sense of touch. , Even if someone stretches out his hand to take a picture, he will think that he has taken a picture of a person when he takes a picture of the quilt.
Just in case, Xia Ruize also released a system-made ghost bat to guard them. The ghost bat perfectly blended into the environment. If someone came to find the two of them, the ghost bat would pass the situation to Xia Ruize.
After everything was ready, the two walked out of the barracks openly, followed the unclosed small gate of the barracks, and walked out under the eyes of the sergeants on duty on both sides.
Most of the residential areas in Ping'an City have entered into rest as the sky darkened, but there are still a small number of areas that are still active.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian wandered around the city at random, and then found a small street full of taverns, which was very lively. Interestingly, some of them wore cloaks with large hoods, completely covering their entire body .
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian glanced at each other, they took two cloaks from a roadside stall without warning, and they will return them later when they have money.
With the cloak, Xia Ruize removed the illusion, and the two used the cloak to cover themselves, blending into the hustle and bustle of the street.
While walking slowly on the street and watching the actions of the people around him, Xia Ruize found that many people wearing cloaks had entered a small tavern in the middle of the street.
The two also walked to the door of the tavern. Cheng Huaiqian was the first to open the door and go in. As soon as he pressed his hand on the door, he found something interesting. This seemingly old and ordinary wooden door is actually very heavy. They can't move.
Seeing Cheng Huaiqian easily open the door, the gatekeeper at the entrance of the tavern let them in without saying anything.
The two entered the tavern and found that there was a hole in the inside. Compared with the low and shabby gate, the interior of the tavern was very large and spacious.
At this time, most of the area was full of people, and many people were wearing cloaks. They took off their hoods and drank and chatted wantonly. It was very lively. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian sat in the corner at the edge of the bar, listening to the people chatting in the tavern.
Words such as "full moon calamity", "evil spirit", and "spiritual stone" kept ringing around. After sitting for a while, the two of them figured out what this tavern was for.
This tavern named "Returning Way" is exclusively for spirit hunters to relax. In addition to drinking and chatting, it also provides a platform for spirit hunters to communicate with each other and form a team.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huai sat in the corner for more than ten minutes, and then saw two people standing on the small platform in the middle of the tavern to recruit teammates loudly.
"Hey, the full moon calamity is getting closer and closer. Recently, there are more and more foreigners in Ping An City, and more people have announced recruitment."
"Who says it's not? Pull up a small team and go to the beach with the courage to go around. If you can kill a few evil spirits and get a few spirit stones, you can eat them in a few months."
"Hey, the old white-headed man has also come out to recruit people. If you say that this old white-headed man has strength, he is too timid, so he dared to make a move before the full moon calamity. When the full moon calamity came, he had to hide under the bed Hide!"
"Hahaha… "
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huai listened to the information casually among the potential crowd, and found that the latest person standing on the small platform in the center of the tavern to recruit teammates was a man with white hair, but his movements and mental state were more like those of a mature man than an old man .
Looking at each other, the two decided to try it out for themselves, so Cheng Huaiqian stepped forward and asked:
"When are you going out of town?"
"Leave as soon as people are filled, and return at two o'clock in the morning." The white-haired middle-aged man looked at Cheng Huaiqian who was blocked by the hood, and handed him a strip of metal.
Cheng Huaiqian had seen the previous two spirit hunting warriors recruiting teammates do the same thing before, so he naturally understood that he took the strip of metal casually, and bent the strip of metal with his hand.
Cheng Huaiqian handed the strip of metal bent into a "U" shape to Xia Ruize who was beside him, and Xia Ruize easily straightened it again.
If spirit hunting warriors without fixed teammates want to recruit temporary teammates, and want to test the strength of temporary teammates, they will use this simple and decent method. If they can move this metal bar with hand strength, their overall strength is naturally not a problem. Down.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize moved the metal bars as easily as playing with a toy, which made the white-haired middle-aged man's eyes shine, and he couldn't help but smile, and said enthusiastically:
"Welcome, welcome, you can just call me Old Whitehead, that seat is reserved by me, you go and sit first, I will recruit another person and we are ready to go."
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize sat down at a large table following the direction pointed by the old white head. There was already a big boy waiting here. He poured two cups of milk for the two of them from the kettle in the middle of the table, and said embarrassingly:
"My uncle said that you can't drink alcohol before the action, but the goat's milk on the way home is delicious, you can try it."
The young boy couldn't hide his excitement and continued to introduce:
"You can call me Xiaonan. Three years ago, I was not qualified to go out of the city. This is my first time to participate in the hunting before the full moon calamity. I have been looking forward to it for a long time.
Don't worry, my uncle is very reliable and strong. I was taught by my uncle. "
The big boy named Xiao Nan didn't wait for Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize to say anything, but excitedly shook out a lot of information on his own, until Lao Baitou took the last tall and strong man to the table and sat down. Finally quiet down.
The old white head patted Xiao Nan on the shoulder to make him calm down, and then introduced the three newly recruited people:
"Three, this is my nephew. This time I will take him out to see the world. Before going out of the city together, let's introduce each other. Everyone can call me Laobaitou. I am from Ping'an City and I am familiar with the surrounding area. I'm good at wielding knives, so I'll be in charge of this operation as well.
If the three of you follow me, you may not be able to harvest many spirit stones, but I can guarantee that your safety will be fine. If I bring you out of the city safely, I will bring you back to the city safely.
Let me tell you in advance how we will divide the spirit stones at that time. If we kill the evil spirit alone, whoever kills it will belong to whoever kills it. If we kill it together, we will take turns in order.
The three of you can ask any questions directly, and we can speak freely. "
After the old white head finished speaking, he patted Xiao Nan who was next to him, and Xiao Nan immediately said excitedly: "Everyone can call me Xiao Nan, I am also good at wielding knives."
With the old white head watching, Xiao Nan obviously restrained a lot, and he didn't dare to say more after the brief introduction.
"Just call me Lao Cheng, I'm good at wielding knives."
Cheng Huaiqian introduced himself casually.
Xia Ruize followed closely, "Just call me Ozawa, I am good at using swords."
The two introduced themselves calmly, but in fact, the two of them didn't even know whether their weapons would work against the evil spirits.
"My name is Datou, and I use a shield."
The last big man introduced in a loud voice.
Old Baitou couldn't help but glared at Xiao Nan speechlessly, the child was too restrained when it was time to let go, at the beginning of Xiao Nan, the people behind him gave very brief introductions.
However, the old white head has already tested their strength in advance, and he never thought that among the people he recruited, there are two "spirit hunters" who have never even seen evil spirits. Seeing that everyone has reported their names, Just arranged:
"If it's a joint effort to kill the evil spirits, the order of taking the spirit stones is me, Lao Cheng, Datou, Xiao Ze, and Xiao Nan. Let's go now, start early and return early."
After the old white head set the order, he took the lead first, led the other four people out of the tavern, lit a torch, and turned left and right in the dim city of Ping'an.
Xia Ruize memorized the route with the ability of space backtracking, and also observed the weapons of the other three aboriginals. The big swords of Lao Baitou and Xiaonan and the super-large shield of Datou all have some strange patterns. I don’t know if these patterns are specially used to deal with evil spiritual.
Twenty minutes later, a group of people gradually approached the city wall. Old Baitou extinguished the torch and led the four of them to sneak up a section of the city wall. After running across the city wall, they jumped directly from the other side.
All five of them jumped off the seven or eight-meter-high city wall safe and sound. After running closely behind Old Baitou for a certain distance, Old Baitou lit the torch again, and at the same time asked Xiao Nan to light a portable lamp and walk in the middle of the team. After the lamp was lit, it emitted a strange green flame.
"Datou and I walked in front, and Lao Cheng and Xiao Ze walked behind. We should always pay attention to the spirit lamp. If the fire turns blue, be careful that there are evil spirits around."
After finishing speaking in a low voice, the old white head is currently walking in the front.
The group of people walked away from Ping'an City in a straight line. After walking for more than 20 minutes, Xia Ruize watched helplessly that the flame of the lamp in Xiaonan's hand turned into a faint blue. A black cloak fluttered leisurely from the hole in the size
Almost at the same time, Xia Ruize pulled out the Poyun Crossbow in his hand, and shot it at Heiying.
Xia Ruize clearly saw that the arrow shot out quickly passed through the black shadow, leaving a hole, but then the hole was filled up by the surrounding black air.
Of course, the actions of Sombra were still affected by this arrow, and they stopped for a moment. In this moment, Xia Ruize shot two more arrows in succession.
When the second arrow was shot, another hole appeared on the black shadow. Although the hole was immediately filled, the whole black shadow became thinner. When the third arrow shot through the shadow, the shadow suddenly dissipated.
Just when Xia Ruize thought that the evil spirit was killed by the Poyun Crossbow, the next second, the originally disintegrated black air suddenly crossed a distance of more than five meters, and recondensed into a smaller black shadow in front of him.
With a swipe of the long sword in his hand, the black shadow completely collapsed.
Immediately afterwards, a stone fell from the black shadow that was floating half a meter high in the air, and rolled twice in the direction of Xia Ruize.
At this time, the old Baitou and Datou who noticed the color change of the spirit lamp had just turned around.
"Brother Ozawa's weapon is good, that spirit stone belongs to you, you can put it away."
Old Baitou was first happy that Xia Ruize had dealt with the evil spirits cleanly, and then he made a sound to confirm the distribution of the spirit stones.
Xia Ruize stepped forward to pick up the spirit stone, and communicated with Cheng Huaiqian in his heart:
"These evil spirits are stronger than the enemies encountered in the mission in the white paper area, but our weapons are still usable."
The two were a little relieved, but Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian didn't think their weapons were easy to use. The Poyun crossbow was a low-grade yellow weapon, but it needed three arrows and one sword to deal with a low-level evil spirit that the old white head was talking about. Such an efficiency Really low.
Soon, the spirit lamp turned blue again, and this time the evil spirit appeared in front of Old Baitou. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian watched closely, and found that Old Baitou took out a talisman paper from his arms in an instant and stuck it on the big knife in his hand. , slashed at the evil spirit with a big knife with a talisman attached.
After two stabs, the evil spirit was completely disintegrated. Unfortunately, this evil spirit did not have a spirit stone. The old white head seemed to be used to it, and he was not dissatisfied. He just tore off the talisman paper on the big knife and put it back in his arms.
Immediately afterwards, the big head also dealt with an evil spirit. After seeing the evil spirit, he also quickly pulled out the talisman paper in his pocket and pasted it on the shield more than one meter high and half a meter wide in his hand. The spirit is completely scattered.
After the attack, the big head also put away the talisman paper.
At this time, Xia Ruize found an evil spirit within the scope of backtracking observation in space, but because the evil spirit was far away from the five people, the spirit lamp did not respond, Xia Ruize bluntly sent out [Spirit] to the black shadow floating in mid-air force shock].
Apart from all kinds of powerful weapons, Xia Ruize's most powerful attack is actually [Spiritual Shock], but the consequences of this attack are uncontrollable. Xia Ruize has never used it on people before, and now he finds that cold weapons do not have that strange effect. In the case of talisman paper, the attack effect on evil spirits is relatively poor, so Xia Ruize decided to try the means of mental attack.
The result of the mental power attack was unexpectedly good, and the black shadow completely dissipated with a single mental power impact.
The mental power was activated, and Xia Ruize brought back the spirit stone that fell to the ground.
At this time, an evil spirit that appeared nearby was killed by Cheng Huaiqian.
