Chapter 45: Fighting Bandits Again
“This guy looks a bit fierce.”
I wanted to become an immortal and hid behind the bushes, looking at the lost soul bandit in front of me, and said with some worry.
It was a strong man wearing studded leather armor. The broken armor could not hide his powerful figure. He had a strong back and a big knife on his shoulder. There seemed to be blood stains on the rusty blade, and he looked murderous.
He picked up the strategy book beside him and looked at the monster introductions on it.
[Lost Soul Bandit: A humanoid monster that randomly has a combat skill and drops various whiteboard weapons and equipment. If you are lucky, you can also get a basic skill book. However, the combat power is relatively strong. Don't touch it when you are alone in the early stage. I challenged him one on one at the beginning. One, almost died. 】
"Don't worry, I've beaten this thing before. It's not a big problem for two people." Xiao Jie's tone was calm with a hint of sadness. Han Luo died here.
He shook away the annoyance in his heart and arranged his strategy.
"We only fight one at a time, don't attack too many monsters! If you lure more than two, just run away.
Shoot arrows first to reduce the bandit's health as much as possible, and then hit him at close range.
Once you enter a melee battle, you must be surrounded from both sides. The person facing the enemy in the front defends as much as possible, and the person attacking from behind is responsible for output. Once the bandit's body glows red, he immediately retreats and dodges.
I'll be responsible for picking up the monsters. Okay, I'll call 123 and let's shoot arrows together. "
"1-2-3!"
While talking, the two of them drew their bows at the same time - and released the arrow!
Whoosh!
The hit rate of fixed-point shooting is still very accurate. The bandit hit two arrows in a row and rushed over with a howl.
"Keep cumming!"
Xiao Jie shouted and drew his bow again and shot an arrow, hitting the bandit in the chest, -9!
I wanted to become an immortal, but I was a little panicked. I didn't control the aim of the second arrow well, and the arrow flew over the bandit's head.
Seeing the bandits getting closer and closer, Xiao Jie stopped shooting. Although he could still shoot another arrow, it would be too late to change weapons.
"I'll pick up the monster!"
Xiao Jie quickly put on his shield and Yanling sword, and rushed forward to face the bandit.
And I, who wanted to become an immortal, also changed into a sword and shield, and walked around behind the bandit.
The bandit swung his machete and struck him on the head. Xiao Jie did not fight with the opponent, but raised his shield to block.
Blocking with a shield is much simpler than parrying with a knife. Just press the right button.
Bang! Bang!
The big knife in the bandit's hand kept slashing at Xiao Jie's shield.
Xiao Jie didn't fight back. Of course he had to perform a righteous backstab in a 2-on-1 situation.
I wanted to become an immortal and walked around behind the bandit, and stabbed the bandit who was brandishing a sword.
-
17!
The damage of this stainless steel sword is still very powerful.
The bandit roared angrily, turned around and slashed with his sword. I was already prepared if I wanted to become an immortal, so I immediately raised my shield to block.
"Okay, that's it, now let me do the output!"
Xiao Jie looked at the bandit who had his back turned to him and slashed him in half with one move.
Poof! -56!
With 300% weapon damage, this knife's damage exploded, instantly knocking out a quarter of the bandit's health.
After the chop, Xiao Jie immediately raised his shield. Such high damage would definitely attract the bandit's hatred back.
Sure enough, in the next second, the bandit's machete slashed at him.
Between the two of them, you strike with a sword and I strike with a sword. After two or three rounds, the bandit's health is at the bottom.
The bandit did not choose to escape. He roared and suddenly made a motion of dragging the knife to charge up.
"Back off!" Xiao Jie shouted.
The two of them retreated at the same time.
The bandit suddenly stepped forward, dragged the knife towards Xiao Jie, swung the knife at Xiao Jie, and slashed him down.
Combat skill - cleave!
Unfortunately, the two of them had already retreated a few meters away, and this knife completely killed Lonely.
Xiao Jie, however, took advantage of the bandit's combat skills and quickly approached him.
Combat skill - cut in two with a single blow!
brush! Wherever the sword passed, a line of blood appeared on the bandit's face. He screamed and fell to the ground dead.
Xiao Jie was relieved when he saw the bandit fall.
No matter how confident he was, he would still inevitably be on tenterhooks when fighting against this monster that left a psychological shadow on him. Fortunately, the battle process went exactly as he had planned, and he defeated the enemy without even losing blood.
After looking at the drop, I saw 24 pennies and a pair of pants.
[Hessian trousers (leggings/low quality)
Leg defense +4.
Item description: Simple trousers made of linen, which can provide the wearer with some warmth and protection. 】
The drops of good garbage are still gray, but - they are of some use after all.
"Do you want these pants?" Xiao Jie asked habitually.
"Um, Brother Feng, you take it first."
Xiao Jie was just being polite. I want to become an immortal and have leather leggings. Naturally, I don’t like this garbage.
He put on his pants directly. In other games, it would be embarrassing to throw this kind of junk equipment into the store, but in this game where resources are scarce, it is still a good thing.
If you swipe a few more, you might be able to get them all together.
"Let's continue."
The ensuing battle was unusually repetitive.
The two of them resolutely adhered to the plan they had made before and specifically targeted lone bandits.
The bows and arrows consumed blood, and they stabbed each other in close combat. It took a full hour of effort, and the two of them succeeded in killing all the lone bandits on the hillside.
A total of twelve or three were killed, but the combat part didn't take much time. Most of the time was spent on scouting and avoiding monsters.
There is no way, Xiao Jie is quite sure about 2 on 1, but not so much on 2 on 2.
It wasn't that he couldn't defeat him at all. In fact, after an hour of fighting and getting familiar with the bandit's fighting style, he was already 80% or 90% sure that he could take on a bandit alone.
Although my skills as a Immortal are not as good as his, I am definitely not weak. Coupled with good equipment, I still have a 50-60% chance of winning in a one-on-one battle with a bandit.
But even if there was only a 10% chance of failure, he would never take the risk.
Killing monsters and leveling up is a long-term job. There is a 10% failure probability once, but what about 10 times or 20 times? Sooner or later it will turn over.
Fortunately, these bandits are distributed in this hilly area. The terrain is undulating and there are many raised hillsides. As long as you find a high place and observe in advance, determine the distribution of bandits, and plan a route, it is relatively safe.
These bandits not only dropped three pieces of whiteboard equipment, but also dropped more than 300 coins. The two of them split a hundred and fifty cents each. This is much faster than cutting wood and herding sheep, but it is a pity that they did not drop the skill book.
It seemed that I was really lucky that day, as the first monster dropped the skill book.
Xiao Jie looked at the experience points and saw that there were still more than 100 left before he could upgrade.
However, all the lone bandits around have been killed, and the remaining ones are in groups of twos and threes, or the refresh position is relatively close and easy to add. On a hilltop in the distance, you can still see a person using a There are several tents in the simple stronghold surrounded by a wooden fence, and several bandits can be vaguely seen.
That should be a bandit outpost. There may be elite monsters spawning in this kind of stronghold, and maybe you can get good things, treasure chests, etc. However, considering that it is very scary to fight two bandits at once, so refresh it. It’s better not to think about the bandit stronghold for the time being.
Xiao Jie didn't even dare to take the risk of getting closer.
"Brother Feng, how about we pull two at a time? I think I should be able to do it."
"No! Two of them are too dangerous." Xiao Jie refused decisively. Although it was quite easy when two against one, Xiao Jie knew very well that the attributes and damage of the two were not higher than those of the bandits. Once they were singled out, although There is a certain chance of winning, but as long as you fail once, the game is over, and a bandit only earns dozens of coins and a garbage whiteboard. It is really not enough to work hard for this little profit.
"Then let's go kill the soulless walking corpses."
"Soulless walking corpse?"
"It's the kind of guy who looks like a mummy. That thing is the most rubbish monster. You can kill it casually. It has a little less experience, but it still has more than deer, sheep, etc."
"Have you ever killed?"
"Killed a lot."
Xiao Jie thought of the pile of corpses he saw that day when he was looking for me to become an immortal. It must be that thing.
"Okay, let's go kill the soulless walking corpses."
Bandits usually appear on hillsides and hills, animals appear in forests, and soulless walkers generally like to appear on roads and around ruins.
The two of them carefully walked down the hillside, passed through the woods, and came to a path between the woods. This was the place where I hunted the soulless zombies on the day I wanted to become an immortal. However, the two of them found that the surroundings were empty.
"Hey, why aren't there any soulless zombies? I met several of them here that day." I wanted to become an immortal and was confused.
Suddenly - jingle bell! Jingle bell bell!
A cold and strange sound of copper bells suddenly sounded from a distance.
