Chapter 265 Quick Turn
Under the foggy gray sky, the wanderer stood on the spot, looking around warily, as if he was ready to run away at any time.
Since travelers cannot sense the presence of soul hunters and are easily tricked, wanderers simply stand in the open. Although they will be seen, it is easier to spot soul hunters.
He was going to fight the soul hunter through the window, not expecting to escape without any injuries.
As he glanced around, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a dark shadow passing by in the corner of his eye.
Turning around again, the wanderer discovered a "surprise".
A tall figure with a crow's head was rushing toward him silently.
Under the pressure, the wanderer immediately ran out in the opposite direction without even thinking.
Thanks to his quick reaction, even though the distance between the two was only three meters, the wanderer managed to escape into the alley with all his beard and tail intact.
Because the wanderer was not sure that he could successfully climb through the window at a distance of three meters, he had to pull out a buffer zone first.
He ran into the alley, passed through several short corners, passed through the open door, and entered a house.
This is a fully enclosed room, with a window opposite the door.
He quickly climbed through the window and turned to look behind him.
Several changes in direction did put a little distance between him and the soul hunter, because the soul hunter can only sense the direction and still needs to make his own judgment on the route. If the transition happens frequently enough, the soul hunter can easily lose sight and need extra time to make a judgment call.
The house chosen by the wanderer was particular. If he did not climb the windows, he would have to go around this row of houses to reach his current location.
Unexpectedly, he saw no sign of the soul hunter.
"Why didn't you follow?" The wanderer's forward body paused. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Is it a detour?!"
There is no time to continue. Thinking about it, a soul hunter has already rushed out of the street intersection on the left.
This is the disadvantage of short turns. If the other party understands your movements, it is easy to go around because the distance of each journey is not long.
Wanderer:!
"No...why don't you climb over the window with me? You don't have martial ethics!"
Just after climbing over the window, the stationary wanderer kicked his legs as hard as he could and ran out in the opposite direction.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t outrun the Soul Hunter who was at full speed.
I saw the giant scythe rising, drawing a graceful half-arc, and smoothly passing through the wanderer's body.
The rogue carrying [Fearless Pain] did not feel anything strange, but the prompt that popped up on the terminal panel let him know that something was wrong.
He received two additional layers of damage.
The wanderer looked back at the terrifying crow shadow, and the soul hunter actually stopped and began to stroke the blade of the giant scythe in his hand.
He understood that this was precious sharpening time, the only chance to get rid of the soul hunter.
The knife-sharpening mechanism is completely beneficial to the traveler. It provides a rhythm buffer period so that the traveler will not be hacked to death by random knives.
The wanderer kept running at full speed, taking the shortest path around the block, running in a straight line, in the opposite direction of the previous chase.
At this moment, he abandoned all fancy thoughts and just wanted to get out of the range of perception.
Although Wei Miao was forced to sharpen the knife in place, the thinking in her mind continued.
“I didn’t expect a traveler to bring ‘fearless pain’.”
From her perspective, the wanderer did not look back before being beheaded. Without psychological preparation, unless the body has undergone special training and is familiar with this kind of pain, a stress reaction is very likely to occur.
Wei Miao has never experienced the feeling of being beheaded. Judging from the performances of Guan Shanyue and Zixu, it must be a very bad experience. She herself didn't dare to say that she could move as usual and walk as fast as flying. On the other hand, this traveler seemed to have been bitten by a mosquito and showed no reaction.
If this was a boss who regarded pain as eating and drinking, he wouldn't have let her chop him off so easily.
To sum up, this is a light-competition entertainment player, focusing on experience.
“This is probably a rogue, carrying the 'Agility', and the room with doors on all sides is his masterpiece... It is also possible that he is an adventurer, carrying the 'Treasure Digger'... Anyway It seems that the ability is not very good. "
Wei Miao does not know the scope of the open door area. She does not rule out the possibility that the wanderer has left and the adventurer staying nearby was caught by her.
The unknown traveler did not take advantage of being out of the room because she caught him from behind while observing from a hidden perspective at the beginning, catching him off guard and pushing him too hard when chasing him.
Since he is wearing [Fearless Pain], 10 seconds of sharpening time is not enough for him to escape perception.
Wei Miao is not in a hurry at all.
On the other side, the wanderer started running along the road, and after counting silently for 10 seconds, he turned into the street network.
During the 10 seconds of escape, his thoughts gradually became clear from the chaos.
"I should use the housing area to circle around it. I will definitely not be able to outrun it."
This housing area that he worked hard for is an ideal location.
He also has two red apples in his hand.
At this moment, he was quite determined to fight against all odds and wanted to compete with the soul hunter in a protracted battle.
Soon, the wanderer standing by the house saw the soul hunters chasing him.
It crossed the road at an inhuman speed, murderous and its scarlet eyes never moved.
The wanderer's hand is resting on the window sill. Seeing this, he turned over and entered the house.
For the first time, Wei Miao saw the speed of the traveler climbing through the window. The slow flip was faster than her fast flip, which should only take about 1 second.
“Are you finally going to start running around in circles with me?”
She was looking forward to the performance of this entertainment player.
The wanderer's eyes were fixed on the soul hunter until it came to the window and prepared to climb through it.
This house, like Zixu’s original hiding place, has windows on two sides, about five meters apart. Without hesitation he climbed through another window and reached the opposite street.
The Soul Hunters followed. Even a fast flip without slowing down under careful control is still one to two seconds slower than the Wanderer.
After seeing the soul hunter land, the wanderer entered through the front door of a house and climbed through the window again.
This time he learned to be smart and would even stop and wait until both parties could see each other.
If the time cost of taking a detour is higher than climbing through the window, the soul hunter will have to fall into his rhythm and climb through the window with him.
So the best location to choose is in the middle of each row of long houses, and the houses that can be climbed should not be too close to each other to prevent them from being approached from next door after losing the view.
Travellers have the rule that "you cannot climb over the same window within 1 minute". The prerequisite for implementing detour measures is that there must be enough room area to support the continuous pulling of windows. This is what wanderers do in the early stage. Work hard for this.
From the window, he saw the soul hunter step into the room just now, then turned around and climbed in and out of a double-window formwork house in the front row.
When I turned back, I happened to see the soul hunter standing quietly outside the opposite window, staring at him thoughtfully.
The edge of the beak of the crow mask was slightly twisted, creating a strange and terrifying smile.
