Chapter 41: 0.3
According to Chen Zi Han’s explanations, the Mo Family’s Great Camp was at a faraway place to the north of the village. After he went out of the village, he continued to walk northwards over a very, very long distance. The sky was now grey bright. He had used an entire night to cover only more than half of the whole journey. He calculated inside his heart. He should be close to the Mo Family’s Great Camp now.
Along the way, he did not see any living being. Not only did he not meet any Zhao Soldiers, even the usual wild animals who were active at night were all completely gone.
It was only until now that he saw three common Zhao Soldiers running towards his way.
These three enemies were obviously not from Yue Village because their direction wasn’t right. When he thought of the last words of the enemies he eliminated before, he thought that Yue State might have sent two separate units to a.s.sault the village and Mo Family’s Great Camp. They might have sent even more than that.
These three soldiers did not have full HP, and they also appeared to be extremely frightened. They did not look like they were patrolling at leisure at all. With two at the front and one at the back, the trio was running really quickly towards the underbrush Yue Qiang was hiding in.
It was only when the distance was closed that Yue Qiang was able to see clearer that the three soldiers weren’t harmed whatsoever. It was just that their uniforms were extremely disheveled and there were a lot of dry gra.s.s on them. There were also scratch wounds that were caused by tree branches. Their imperfect HP were due to these little wounds scratched by the tree branches.
The three Zhao Soldiers seemed to be escaping in panic from something behind them. They looked battered and exhausted; in great contrast of the well-disciplined impression they had left Yue Qiang earlier. Yue Qiang felt that it was a little strange and did not rush out immediately. Instead, he did his best to widen his vision and look towards the distance.
He didn’t spot anything out of the ordinary.
Forget it, let’s deal with these three enemies first.
Yue Qiang waited very patiently for his chance. Among these three Zhao soldiers, the first two got closer and closer towards him. He did nothing even when they had ran up till the underbrush he was hiding in, and ran past him.
His aim was to divide and conquer them respectively. Obviously, catching that lone guy at the back was easier than facing the duo upfront.
Crouching carefully inside the underbrush, he fired a long prepared ‘Break Fist – Killng Style, One’ he had long prepared at the third Zhao Soldier when he pa.s.sed by. He had been acc.u.mulating this technique for some time now and he was full of energy. He struck out decisively at the pointer when the f.u.xi Hexagram was triggered.
– 108!
He hit his enemy and shaved away more than half of his enemy’s HP. The surprise attack was a success!
At the same time, his skill had gone into cooldown. Yue Qiang equipped his weapon, the blackish iron rod in a very short time and began using his newly learned skill ‘Basic Jabbing Skill LVL 1’ expectantly.
He hadn’t learned this new skill on his own, but through the appraisal of his weapon. The power of this skill was average, but it had a very interesting description. The system had given out the explanation that this skill’s cooldown cycle was &lsquo
very short’.
Yue Qiang corrected his aim with the mouse and threw out his skill with the tap of a hotkey.
At the same time, his in-game character made a jabbing motion from an extremely tricky angle. Yue Qiang’s control on the aim of his weapon was rough at best, but as if his Basic Jabbing Skill had a life of its own, it automatically jabbed at the spot he had just smashed his fist into.
– 15! [Ignore Defense]
Yue Qiang stared at that – 15 number and went blank for an instant. Then he looked at the cooldown indicator of his skill.
The cooldown cycle was actually done already. It didn’t even take half a second.
What a powerful skill. He calculated in his mind, and threw out yet another Basic Jabbing Skill. Another – 15 had appeared without exception.
I jab, I jab, I jab jab jab…
In less than four to five seconds, the unfortunate enemy had already fallen to his attacks. His ‘Killing Style, One’ had just finished its cooldown cycle just now.
