Tokyo underground city

Chapter 79 The Eight Phases Appear

After choosing his skills, Lin Huaien continued to move forward.

The place where he is now is roughly the central square of [Salt and Cross Road]. There are some withered landscape plants and large flower beds scattered around. Most of the salted undead that Lin Huai'en has solved are distributed among these flower beds.

Unlike the salted undead in cabin 102, most of the monsters in the square do not sleep. They will enter a very slow state of drowsiness when no one is close, but will suddenly rise after tens of seconds. Get up, take two steps forward, then lower your head and continue to fall asleep.

"It feels like these salted undead are just like guards..." Lin Huai'en drew out his arrows, put them on his hunting bow, and pointed them at a three-person Twoleg team twenty meters away.

"Twolegs are mostly in groups of three to five; in every four groups, there will be one fire-raider; for every four fire-raiders encountered, there will be an unenviable corpse - just like an army The system is strict.”

There is also the black smoke coming out of the salted undead - it was not obvious before in the upper area. The middle area is much higher than the upper area. At this time, it can be seen that all the smoke coming out of the salted undead is The black smoke condensed into a bunch and gathered in a certain direction.

"The black smoke from the two-legged beast first condensed to the top of the Fire Raider's head; then the black smoke from the Fire Raider's body condensed towards the Bu Xian Corpse; after reaching the Bu Xian Corpse, it began to rise straight up and gathered over the middle square In the 'river of black smoke', they gather in the direction of the [Scholar Tower]..."

"It's simply a clear indication that the Boss is there."

Lin Huai'en squinted his eyes, observing the smoke plume that jumped more than ten meters high above his head through the "obstruction of vision" unique to the dark dungeon, and sighed in his heart——

"Looking at this momentum, I shouldn't be able to defeat this Boss now. I will challenge this Boss after clearing [Salt and Crossroads] and other areas."

Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Huaien opened his hunting bow and shot at the Twoleg team in the distance.

With his current strength, it would not be difficult to deal with a three-person team like this. However, after reaching level 10, this was the first time he faced an enemy, so he specifically asked Coco to pounce on him first and entangled two enemies.

And he himself faced the lone two-legged beast to test the effect of the [Sword Theory] skill.

Putting down his hunting bow, Lin Huaien stood up and drew out the Gray Fury.

This time, he clearly felt something strange.

But this strangeness is not what Senyan calls "subtle" - that is, the sensory time is greatly slowed down.

Instead, it appeared in his mind as a certain "idea".

As soon as Lin Huai'en got used to it, he realized that this idea was actually the "attack distance" between the two-legged beast and himself.

"What's the use of this skill... No!"

Lin Huai'en was just a little annoyed, but he immediately realized the specialness of this idea.

If his previous grasp of the two-legged beast's attack distance was only based on a relatively vague "concept", the new "idea" or "consciousness" that appeared in his mind changed his own attack. The distance, even the attack range, is accurate to the centimeter level.

And almost immediately after the two-legged beast approached him 5 meters away, he accurately grasped that "he had entered the attack range of the two-legged beast"!

The two-legged beast hesitated for a moment and did not pounce. In Lin Huaien's consciousness, the moment the two-legged beast's attack action changed from "pounce" to "forward", he instinctively felt, The "attack threat" from the Twolegs disappeared.

"This is the principle of swordsmanship...? The precise grasp of the attack range and distance between the enemy and ourselves..."

Lin Huai'en subconsciously took a stance, and his attack range also changed in his consciousness.

His sword skills even helped him accurately recognize the strong and weak attack range of his current stance.

"The right is strong and the left is weak...the defense below is relatively weak..."

"What if I change my legs?"

Lin Huai'en deliberately took a step back, from his left leg in front to his right leg in front.

"The defense capabilities have become more balanced, but the attack distance has been reduced..."

Regarding his new skills, Lin Huai'en was a bit like a child who got a new toy. He enjoyed testing it, but completely forgot that there was a two-legged beast in front of him.

Fortunately, when the two-legged beast got close enough, the [Sword Theory] skill immediately reminded Lin Huai'en that "he" had entered the attack range of "others".

Even before the Twoleg makes an attack move!

"This... is a bit too magical... it's almost like the pre-reading function has been activated..."

Lin Huai'en glanced at the two-legged beast. The other person was completely unaware that he had missed the best attack line and stepped into Lin Huai'en's attack range.

So Lin Huai'en stepped forward and struck the black-skinned monster on the head, cutting it into pieces.

"Come again! It's not enough!"

With the skill of sword management, Lin Huai'en felt that he was much more confident in an instant. He walked over with great interest, stabbed from behind, and solved one of the two monsters entangled by Coco.

"That's right... I used to be timid, mainly because I was afraid of getting hurt, but now that I have sword skills, I can respond to many situations in advance, which invisibly reduces the probability of injury..."

“Although I don’t know which one is stronger between the Bronze-level swordsmanship skills and the Silver-level swordsmanship skills… But at least from my own perspective, the Bronze-level [Swordsmanship] skills have greatly enhanced my combat effectiveness. !”

Lin Huai'en enthusiastically performed another long-tail stance, feeling the changes in his attack distance and attack range. Suddenly, many concepts of swordsmanship that were very unclear in his mind suddenly became clear, and there was a sense of——

The feeling of “So that’s what happened!”

"Even after switching from posture to attack, the [Sword Theory] skill will predict my attack path, allowing me to change my moves immediately after realizing the enemy's blocking action..."

Lin Huai'en struck through the body, past the arm of the last ghoul, and hit it in the abdomen. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's arm hurriedly moved down, he slashed across the face with his sword, instantly finishing the opponent.

"It's great! I have never experienced such a smooth and smooth battle... Is this what the mummy swordsman said, 'based on basic skills, pre-reading the opponent's movements, and then attacking'..."

Lin Huai'en didn't know what his fighting style looked like in the eyes of a professional swordsman, but at least from his point of view, monsters of the same level were only worthy of being beaten while hanging by him.

"Can we try to challenge the Fire Raider's team again?"

Lin Huai'en looked at the Gray Fury in his hand, and looked eagerly at the tall monster in the distance.

However, he still rejected his idea——

"No, let's get familiar with the new skills again... Don't get carried away just because you have just gained a new ability - the two-legged beasts in the middle space have changed so much. The Fire Raider doesn't know if they will have any new abilities or not. It’s better to be careful.”

As it turns out, his caution was right.

After killing a dozen more Two-legged beasts, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and launched an attack on the Fire Raider.

As a result, the moment the arrow hit the Fire Raider, the Fire Raider roared, alerting another group of Fire Raiders in the distance.

The two teams of Fire Raiders immediately grabbed a two-legged beast next to them and threw it towards Lin Huai'en!

What’s even more frightening is that the sword skills didn’t give any warning for this situation!

In panic, Lin Huai'en had to roll several times before escaping from the Fire Raider's attack.

"Rolling makes you invincible! But the freezing time after rolling is too long!"

Lin Huai'en thought helplessly and climbed up.

But almost as soon as he stood up, Raohuo's "bomb" attacks immediately followed.

The two-legged beast that was used as a projectile roared and hit the dead tree next to him, directly smashing the dead tree that was half a man thick into two pieces!

Lin Huai'en was so frightened that he immediately fell down again.

"Coco! Go! Detract the attack!"

Lin Huaien shouted the order.

Coco is short in stature and moves quickly, making it the most suitable to play a role in this situation.

After eating a large number of crystal nuclei, Coco has been freed from the resentment of being stabbed to death by Lin Huai'en's sword.

After receiving the order, it howled and rushed forward, avoiding the two Two-legged beasts that had just landed on the ground, and rushed towards the Fire Raider who was closer to it.

Coco's actions immediately attracted the attention of the two Fire Raiders.

Lin Huai'en took the opportunity to stand up and face the four two-legged beasts in front of him.

"Four two-legged beasts... not many in number, but the problem is, they are surrounded..."

Lin Huai'en knows very well how dangerous the current situation is.

"After all, they are salted undead that go berserk at the sight of blood... they can't be hurt!"

Lin Huai'en took a deep breath, raised his sword with both hands, and assumed the "Eight Phases" posture.

Although in terms of sword theory, Lin Huai'en prefers the long sword system of the Mummy Swordsman, the naming rules of kendo stances are simpler and easier to understand, so after getting used to the difference in sword theory between the two weapons, he became more and more fond of using it. The name of Kendo, to call his long sword stance.

Just like the "Eight Phases" structure in kendo, the long sword is pointed upward, parallel to the body, and held in front of the chest; with the eyes forward, observe the enemy's movements at any time to respond; and the center of gravity of the sword is Being close to the body, no matter which direction you move or attack, you can change it instantly.

The name "Eight Phases" takes the meaning of "Eight Phases Manifestation" in Buddhism, which means being flexible and changeable and good at dealing with complex situations.

Therefore, the Eight Phases are also the first choice among kendo stances when dealing with sieges.

Lin Huai'en used his long sword with both hands to assume a posture similar to the Eight Phases. For a moment, the four two-legged beasts around him could not figure out the direction of his attack and did not dare to move rashly.
