Chapter 102 Walking Alone in the Fire Land
Wei Miao was a little surprised to meet another player so soon, and although Ximen's attributes were slightly weaker than hers, the difference was not obvious.
Furthermore, judging from the battle, this player is also an operational player.
The so-called operational type is one of the "ability hexagons" created by players after the rise of virtual games. This is used to divide different types of players, because virtual games require more abilities than just using the keyboard. Console games such as game consoles and controllers are much higher, and they test a person's actual quality.
The hexagon contains operations, reasoning, mentality, strategy, spirituality, and liverfulness.
These are rough divisions, and each factor has different weights in different game types. Among them, "operation" evaluation is mainly used in action games, "reasoning" is mainly used in puzzle games, horror games rely on "mentality", and "strategy" is mainly used in simulated business or war games.
The indicator of "spirituality" is not so serious. It can be replaced by "whole life" and "nerve knife", which refers to a person's ability to adapt to changes or have breakthrough thinking, and to be able to break out of routines. It is common in various game breakthroughs. This card is buggy.
"Liverness" is a universal indicator. Of course, in the Mask game, due to the fairness mechanism, this indicator is the least important.
Other action virtual games still have system-assisted guidance. For example, when releasing a skill, the body is taken over by the system. But Masquerade has no other external force to help. He relies on himself to release skills and use combat techniques. The specific execution process has been instilled in his mind, and all that is left is to reproduce the actions in his mind.
However, this step has stumped countless traditional masters. This is not as easy and comfortable as moving a finger, but tests the player's control of body coordination.
Action virtual games are not suitable for those who are physically disabled but mentally strong.
Similarly, after adapting a new body and abilities, the speed of getting started depends on the player's talent.
In a short period of time, Wei Miao and Ximen were able to seize the opportunity, use combat skills, and become familiar with basic techniques when fighting each other.
In the operation column, both of them filled up their ability bars.
This is a tough opponent...or teammate.
After three rounds of dungeons, the level gap between players has widened. Due to the matching mechanism, it is inevitable for top players to gather together. During the third copy, the difference was not so obvious.
Wei Miao was thinking, walking alone in the ashes-filled world.
Since there is no cycle of seasons or alternation of day and night, people divide time according to their biological clock.
Divide a day into 10 hours, each hour has 100 minutes. Ten days are one round, and ten rounds are one year.
Wei Miao trekked for about ten minutes and finally entered the Tuhuo Land.
According to world time, it is the seventh hour, and normal residents are getting ready to sleep.
But the Balrog does not follow human rules. They rest at irregular intervals and are active most of the time.
Even a five-man Night Watch team only dared to hunt the Balrogs on the outside of the Tuhuo Land. The intensity of the inner circle had obviously gone up a notch and was too dangerous.
The charred hills are rolling with fine lava tributaries, and there is a relatively clean rock formation path that twists and turns inside.
The heat wave wraps around the whole body, but with the constitution of Eternal Night, she maintains a low body temperature all year round. A small amount of the power of Eternal Night flows on the surface of the skin, isolating the erosion of the heat.
If ordinary people were here, even if they could take the right path, they would suffer from shock and death due to overheating.
This is a safer road that Euphia forcibly carved out in the past. Since there were fewer Balrogs nearby, the lava in the cracks in the road gradually dried up, and the exposed thin black rocks stuck like old tree bark. surface.
Sister Yong Ye walked alone on this road, her calm gaze under the hood scanning the surroundings of the road, her right hand holding the narrow night dress tightly, which still remained cold in such high temperatures.
There were many small lava pools nearby, steaming with heat, and larger rock-armored crocodiles popped up from under the flaming red pool surface from time to time, staring at her coldly. Balrogs like the environment of the Fire Land and generally do not easily go to the outside world. They also have no appetite for flesh and blood creatures. They only have the same kind in their food chain.
But they are territorial and will be aggressive towards any strangers who intrude into the Tuhuo territory.
The Rock Armored Crocodile watched her gradually disappear into the distance before sinking into the magma.
Wei Miao can sense the eyes paying attention to her in the dark, but they never dare to step forward easily.
No matter how unintelligent creatures are, they have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Once they are used to seeing their own kind become the dead souls of the sword, they know that this creature in front of them is not easy to deal with.
Until she reached the edge of the deep zone, she did not encounter a single attack. If those members of the Night Watch team, who have been fearful and fighting life and death in the shallow area all year round, were to know, it would probably shatter their outlook.
Once in the deep zone, the terrain here is much unfamiliar to Wei Miao. She rarely entered the deep zone alone. She entered it once with the priest. He went in vertically and came out horizontally, while Euphia carried him and rushed out, with a five-meter-tall giant ape behind her.
Here, the heat is as hot as an oven, and unknown fire demons are hidden under the thick lava flow, which is full of dangers.
There were not many places to stay, so Wei Miao took a zigzag step and looked at the surrounding environment.
The number of steep slopes, tall stone pillars, rock walls, etc. has increased significantly, making it rugged and complex.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, she paused, and jumped back almost instinctively.
The next moment, the ground cracked, magma splashed, and an afterimage quickly sprang out and landed steadily, four or five steps away from her.
Wei Miao took a closer look and saw that it was a Balrog that looked like a pangolin. It was about two meters long, with a triangular mouth like the tip of a knife, and its whole body was covered in dark brown scales.
"Fire Shell."
Wei Miao dug out information about this type of Balrog from her memory. Fire shells usually live in the deep areas of the fire ground and are good at sneak attacks. Their sharp beaks can easily penetrate rocks.
What’s even more troublesome is that these are “people-type” creatures. Their crow-like cries will attract others of their own kind, but due to their greedy nature, they generally won’t attack people immediately when they find prey alone.
Once you shake someone, the level of danger in the battle will skyrocket.
Therefore... we cannot give it a chance to make friends.
Wei Miao sheathed the knife and took two steps slowly. Suddenly her right foot touched the ground and suddenly changed speed. The thin rock layer on the spot was dented into a shallow pit due to the force.
The drifting ash gently scratched her cheek, and her hood was almost lifted by the wind pressure.
She leaned forward slightly, grasped the handle of the knife tightly with her right hand, and exerted force suddenly. The cold light of drawing the knife flashed away and was difficult to catch.
A crescent-shaped sword slashed out, five or six steps away in an instant.
Realizing that something bad was going on, the fire shell just wanted to bury its head into the rock formation. Unfortunately, it didn't expect the extremely fast sword light. It took a step slower and was chopped into two parts from the top of its head to the bottom half of its body. .
Lava-like red liquid sprayed all over the ground, Wei Miao showed a compassionate smile, and pointed the tip of the knife to the ground.
Eufia has compassion for everything, living and dead, friends and enemies.
