Shadow Covenant

Chapter 212 Chapter 211 "Upgrade"

"Ow!"

In the gray mist, the howling of the wolves seemed to be the movement of the god of death, which made people feel palpitations and panic.

This is true.

The wolves flanking back and forth, coupled with the dark giant wolves watching over him, Woody knew that if he made a wrong move now, it was very likely that he would ruin his seemingly safe situation now.

Therefore, in the face of the first wave of attacks, Woody chose the dog from the heart. First, he raised the round shield on his left forearm, and after using the forward impact to contain the pounce of the giant wolf, he pushed against the attacks of the two giant wolves behind him. Horror advantage, first use your strength to roll forward, how to use your feet at the same time to kick the first giant wolf that was almost lying on your body behind you, and then turn around, the song in your hand The blade of the sword once again ignited a stream of fire-like light.

——"Swordsmanship·Horizontal Slash."

Simple and simple swordsmanship, without too many bells and whistles, until the blade touches the fur of the giant wolf, the lingering coolness still radiates in the air, but the next moment, with the howling of the giant wolf dodging and rolling, A flame and blood light bloomed on the upper body of the giant wolf at the same time, the sharpness of the blade and the high temperature of the flame simultaneously burned the furious beast.

The other two giant wolves couldn't help but backed up half a step when they heard the cry of their companions, but after another dry howl came from the mist, they could only look at each other and move cautiously apart. Then retreated into the mist, and soon there was a frightening sound of running again.

Woody's face remained unchanged, and he twirled his left hand quietly, his tiger's mouth was a little numb. The power of the giant wolf almost overwhelmed him just now, even though he reached 19 with the blessing of Cecil's "Power of the Bull". A little bit of power, but it is still difficult to compete with the power of a giant creature. Although it is difficult for the gray mist to see the situation clearly, it is impossible for these giant wolves to attack him quietly, so he only needs to concentrate. Perception will tell him everything he wants to know.

There were still five giant wolves and one elf lurking in the dark, who was thinking of something.

Woody's advantage has long been lost in the fog enchantment arranged by the elf.

However, his expectations were also very low at the same time, as long as he could get out alive.

After all, whether it is a giant wolf or an elf, their apparent strength exceeds Woody by a lot. The giant wolf seems to be a magical beast bred by natural secret methods. It stands close to five feet tall at the shoulder and weighs more than 300 pounds. In addition, there are groups of activities. Although they are not as intelligent and powerful as the northern winter wolves, their solidarity and mutual assistance are still instinctive. When hunting in a team, the wolves can kill far more than individual wolves. High-level creatures, such as winter wolves in the Northland, can even hunt white dragons, and Woody's physical fitness and combat ability are actually not obvious at this level. No matter how many skills are difficult to use, it is useless. In addition to the rookie killer, "Saint" also has another name, veteran killer.

If you don't pay attention, it is too easy to overturn under the claws or mouth of a wolf, even for experienced adventurers.

Therefore, when Woody looked at the huge gray wolf and slowly receded into the fog behind him with those sharp yellow animal eyes, Woody opened the data panel without hesitation. experience points are immediately used to level up.

—— "Increase the level of the demon hunter!"

The value in the column of experience points disappeared like water, and it didn't stop until there were 1800 points left.

And the moment it stops, the line-by-line data is also fed back to the retina in time.

——"The level of the demon hunter has been raised to level 6."

——"Acquire 22 skill points, and increase the life value to 14 points."

—— "Get 1 free attribute."

—— "Additional advanced options for professional specialties."

……

In terms of distribution, Woody naturally added all the skill points to swordsmanship without hesitation. Part of the reason is naturally that the advancement of Calamity Edge requires 100 points of swordsmanship specialization, and part of the reason is that he believes that only attacks can be used. It is the best defense, blindly avoiding it will only make bad luck linger around all the time, but there is nothing you can do.

What he has to do, of course, is to disperse them!

And while they were regrouping, Woody also added the free attribute points he had just obtained to his strength in the wailing of the injured giant wolf, so that he gained his own strength, agility, and constitution under the blessing of spells. All personal panels with more than 20 points.

As Woody who has a plan for the future, he naturally regrets not being able to add attribute points to his agility. After all, this choice can really improve his combat power, and it is also the best choice for him to survive.

When the strength increased from 19 points to 20 points of extraordinary power, an indescribable aura flowed from his heart along the blood vessels to his limbs and bones, and then, a burst of aura was born out of thin air, and the full aura instantly poured into his body In the body, as if washed away, Woody felt extremely relaxed, whether it was the curved sword in his hand, or the feeling of body feedback when walking, it was like walking on clouds, everything was light and ethereal.

The fatigue of the left hand that had been numb in the mouth suddenly disappeared, and the more excellent physical feeling was that Woody felt that he could even break a tree or lift a big rock with his bare hands. The endless energy followed, and the corners of Woody's mouth could no longer hold back. Yes, he smiled, and his fighting spirit was burning.

Of course, he didn't forget to assign himself the first professional specialty advanced point after reaching level 6. Professional specialty advanced point, as the name suggests, is to upgrade a current professional specialty, which can be promoted to the extraordinary level.

Extraordinary means excellence. Among 100 professionals of the same level, there may be less than ten people who can master extraordinary specialties. This is why Woody is so excited after having the oath of hunting spirits.

The career advancement point is a way given to players by "Saint". Generally, normal occupations get one every 5 levels, and a few occupations can achieve one after two levels of advancement. Woody remembers a certain legendary mage, After he succeeded in his part-time job, he turned all his spellcasting feats into supermagic, combined with the supermagic feats he possessed. At that time, it was said that the power of the most common fireball technique could be achieved with the blessing of those supermagic feats. Flatten half a large city.

However, there are still restrictions on the advancement points of professional specialties. All specialties have various preconditions before they can be advanced to extraordinary, such as two-weapon combat (expert) advanced two-weapon master, in addition to the necessary weapon specialization In addition, one must master a skill specialization above the level of proficiency (100 points).

Woody briefly glanced at the Demon Hunter specialty in his professional specialty column, and soon made a plan, throwing away the spirit hunting oath that cannot be advanced, all he can choose is the heart of the demon hunter, the fighting style ( Shadow Snake School), two-weapon combat, and defense-breaking vanguards.

Demon Hunter's Blood: Advanced Pre-Immunity 100 points, Demon Hunter's Heart...

Combat Style II (Shadow Snake Style): 50 points in advanced stealth, 50 points in swordsmanship, fighting style...

Dual-weapon expert: 80 points in any weapon skill, dual-weapon combat...

Armor Breaking Master: Over 18 points of strength, mastering heavy blows, breaking defense vanguard...

……

Choose one of the four, although he meets all the conditions, but the current buff can give him the greatest improvement, and it will not affect his future path at all and is in his plan, only that one.

Woody looked steadily at somewhere in the void, and without much hesitation, he directly used the advanced specialties he had just acquired.

"Advanced Fighting Style II (Shadow Snake Style)!"

In the next second, the selections in the professional expertise column gradually disappeared, and finally only the fighting style remained, and finally, in the ripples like water waves, it turned into a new row of data.

——"Battle Style II (Shadow Snake Style)."

With the determination of the advancement of the specialty, the scene when he just acquired the fighting style reappeared in Woody's mind, and suddenly many strange memories appeared in his mind. Among the memories, he was a wandering demon hunter , killing the green hag in the dense forest, hunting the flying dragon on the high mountain, and the various battle scenes obtained between the monsters during the period are also flashing all the time. Of course, the configuration of potions, making traps and other crafts are also indispensable...

Woody is used to accepting and digesting these realities, but in fact it only took a moment, and after Woody woke up again, a line of data resurfaced again.

——"The skill of the Shadow Snake School has improved."

——"Character attribute adjustment: Dexterity 18→19."

——“职业技能提升：剑术+20、潜行+20、陷阱+20、运动+20、炼金+20。”

—— "Comprehend professional expertise: shadow hand."

……

If the sun is shining at this moment, the observers will be surprised to find that the shadow on Woody's hands is thicker than other places, as if covered by a layer of lingering mist, like a dream.

——"Professional specialty "Shadow Hand": You have been with the shadow all the year round, and your hand skills have reached the level that ordinary people can't match. If you are a gambler, even the most shrewd croupier in the casino cannot catch it. The speed in your hands, if you are a ranger, your bow and arrow shooting speed is comparable to a patrol team of 20 people, and you can only see shadows, which is the best compliment for your speed in your hands. "Attack speed +3""

——"This is a gift from Shar, be grateful to the shadows! Kneel down! Mortals! —— Shar Priest Fakis from Shadowfall Underworld."

……

Woody's pupils constricted suddenly when he saw the "Shadow Hand" feat given to him.

Originally, Woody also mastered this fighting style specialization in his previous life, but it was only after the tenth level that he used the first specialization point for the escape experts of the Civet School. The output method, but it was only found in the later stage that it was weak and weak. It was better to open and close and ambiguously violent and stealthy demolition warfare.

But the feat that was given at that time was not this, but another feat of the shadow series, which was used to increase the "shadow attack" of the backstab state.

It's not that this specialty is bad, but it's great.

Originally, Woody was still thinking that if it wasn't for the tense situation now and the need to improve his strength, he naturally hoped that his advanced expertise points could be used in more effective places, although the current situation did not leave him much room for entanglement, But no matter how he chooses, it is actually not more suitable than the current advanced fighting style, unless he has several other specialties from the White Wolf School and the Griffin School, but whether it is training or the selection of specialties to master, it has nothing to do with him. Now Woody is a little far away.

But now it seems that even if those talents are placed in front of him, he will dismiss them and choose the fighting style without hesitation. After all, the talent of shadow hand gives attributes that most specialties cannot give.

Attack speed, that is, the shot interval.

The importance of this item in the eyes of spellcasters is equivalent to shortening their singing time.

What kind of concept is this, what other people can do with one knife, you can cut three times, and the damage is directly doubled.

This is also the reason why shadow hand is the dream of many melee professionals, and it is called a pseudo-extraordinary specialty in the forum.

As for the reason why this specialty appeared, Woody thought about it carefully, yes, he thought it must be because of the previously comprehended combat skill "hunting pace", otherwise it would be unreasonable that this shadow skill would replace what should have been The "Shadow Attack" that appeared.

But this is even better! He originally planned to go to Shadowfall Underworld to obtain the specialty of "Shadow Hand"...

Woody suppressed his slightly impetuous heart. With the shadow hand specialty, he has more confidence in the next battle.

When he looked at the mist again, the corners of his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little. He really never thought that he could take the "Shadow Hand" into his arms so early. If his mood was cloudy just now, then Now it's the end of the cloud and the rain, and Caiche knows it.

The giant wolf, which used the mist to cover its figure, didn't know that the human standing in the middle of the mist had undergone such a big change in a short moment. The instinct of the beast told it that the time was coming soon.

The five giant wolves were all dispatched this time except the first wolf, and the four wolves moved in four directions, east, west, north and south, and then cooperated to pounce, bite, and claw.

The tactics are so rigorous that they attack at different points, namely the throat, hands, and legs, as well as the core area of ​​the lower body. These are extremely deadly positions.

However, Woody looked at the gray giant wolf howling and rushing towards him in all directions, his face remained unchanged. He picked up the curved sword in his hand, and the shield that was originally defending in the other hand turned into an extremely inconspicuous shield at this moment. After everything was ready, he also moved.

Sweeping the curved sword, he rushed towards the giant wolf closest to him, not to kill it, but to use the "hunting pace" directly to pass through the wolf at a critical moment.

The next moment, Woody came behind the giant wolf, and any blades were just like before, slashing down towards the mane-covered neck of the giant wolf, but it was different from the previous wave. The curved sword's blade shone with a cold light, and its speed was much faster than the first attack. Only the afterimage of the blade could be seen across the air.

Put away the knife and chop again.

After turning around almost effortlessly, Woody slashed twice in an instant by relying on the few tenths of a second when the giant wolf stopped in time.

The giant wolf that was showing its ferocious appearance just now didn't even have time to utter a whine, the entire huge wolf head, accompanied by the continuously gushing blood and the twitching corpse, all fell on the muddy shallow grass pile in the valley.

The blood merged into a stream, and in the mist, wantonly exuded its own smell.

This time, when Woody raised his head again, he could no longer see any eyes that dared to meet him.
