Chapter 35 The second stage
"Bang!" The purple armor-piercing bullet shot in from the front like lightning, and came out of the back. As the blood splashed, a blood hole as thick as a little finger was left on Qingming's shoulder.
Qing Ming endured the pain, and his left hand staggered Qin Lun with a palm. At the same time, he kicked his feet and broke out of the battle circle.
Here we can see the difference between the two in physical attributes. After all, Qin Lun has only experienced three mission worlds, and the number of strengthenings is too few. The basic attributes are a bit far from Qing Ming. Whether it is power or agility, female elf is the dominant one.
However, having superior physical attributes does not mean that close combat is stronger.
The bow dance technique combined with the bow sword with the wind blade technique is indeed a melee weapon. However, Qing Ming's long bow is 1.7 meters long after all, and in close combat, the frequency is not as fast and flexible as the fighting gun technique. After a long battle, he will inevitably be unable to deal with it. Finally, Qin Lun succeeded with a blow and injured his shoulder.
"Gunfighting!" Qing Ming covered his injured shoulder with complex eyes.
When she first entered the broken starry sky, she had obtained a gun fighting technique. However, compared to bows and arrows, she was not interested in guns. Qingming believed that guns were just a transitional equipment, and the bows and arrows attached with magic were the real main weapon of the shooter.
So, Qingming used this gun fighting technique, plus 20,000 broken crystals, to exchange it for the current bow dance technique. The bow dance with the wind blade technique was indeed extremely sharp, making up for the archer's weak melee ability and allowing her to stand alone in the team.
However, today, facing Qin Lun's fighting gun technique, Qing Ming finally discovered that this close-range gun technique, which combines blocking, is considered a real fighting technique, while her bow dance technique is just an auxiliary fighting technique.
It’s not that the bow dance technique lost to the fighting gun technique, but that the two techniques were used differently. How could one auxiliary combat technique compete with real combat skills? In fact, she was doomed to fail at the beginning of this battle.
"Haha, the dark dark crystal rock crab, you are the night elf with complete control of the wind blade!" Qin Lun looked at it with a gentle smile, and at first glance, he seemed a little shy, "In the Demon Horn, our bloodlines should also belong to the hostile camp!"
"Don't be proud, you haven't won yet!" Qing Ming covered his shoulders, his face pale, and responded faintly, "I have notified my companion. If you are smart, let go of the vine wall now, otherwise you will not have time to escape!"
When Qin Lun heard Qing Ming coaxing him, he couldn't help laughing. He and Hill were in close contact in the team channel, so how could he not know the specific situation there? In a short time, Qing Ming's companions would definitely not be able to catch up. It is estimated that the female elf had not yet assigned him to Hill's team at this time.
"Haha! I appreciate your strength, but I will definitely win, and it doesn't take much time!" Qin Lun pointed to Qing Ming's injured shoulder and said, "A weapon like bow and arrow is incompatible with close combat skills. When you hold the bow in your right hand, there is no problem with your combat skills. But now if you change to your left hand, how many of your bow dance skills can you have?"
"There are a few percent left, you'll know!" Qing Ming's knuckles holding the longbow turned white in an instant, and he said coldly with an expressionless face, "If you can't kill me, you will die!"
Qin Lun's eyes showed a hint of regret and shook his head slightly. Although the woman in front of him was stubborn, she had indeed reached the end of her journey.
If the injury to the right shoulder is not the last straw that crushes the camel, then the bow dance that requires additional wind blade technique to be used for attacking has another fatal weakness.
The bow dance with the wind blade is indeed sharp, but this sharpness is built on the huge consumption of mana. It is not easy to maintain the wind blade technique for a long time. Moreover, Qing Ming had used armor-piercing arrows five times before. Even if it was supplemented by medicine, his mana has always been under the cordon and should have reached its limit now.
Without the addition of the Wind Blade, Qin Lun would not have to care about bow dance at all. He could kill Qing Ming even if he cut him directly.
Seeing Qin Lun's gaze, Qing Ming suddenly trembled all over, raised his eyebrows, and resolutely rushed towards the young man, "I don't need the mercy of the enemy, and the last person who died must be you!"
Seeing Qingming fight to the death, the red light in Qin Lun's eyes flashed. He flipped his hand and put the angel's praise on his left hand. The evil dagger quietly slid from the sleeve of his right hand into his palm.
He didn't plan to delay any more. From the battle just now, Qin Lun discovered that the night elves were resistant to the dark corrosion of the Demon Song, while the sacred additional attributes praised by the angel could increase the damage.
Of course, in addition to the dark gold bullets that require manual loading and the purple armor-piercing bullets that are used to cause fatal damage to Qing Ming. But it doesn’t matter, Qin Lun also has a sin dagger, which is the real melee weapon!
...
In the middle of a forest clearing several kilometers away from the hill cave, a hunchbacked giant knelt on one knee, leaning on a huge bone rod in both hands, lowering his head, and slamming his chin on the back of his hand. Its body was covered with wounds, and even the skin skirt wrapped around its waist turned dark red.
After careful observation, you can find that the adult hill giant's eyes were vague and had been dead for a long time.
The clearing in the forest with it as the center is like experiencing a terrifying storm. The black mud spreads in waves one after another, and rows of tall trees surrounding the clearing are slanted outwards. The thick roots of the tree are exposed on the ground, like a weak woman forcibly pushed down by a strong man.
Hill and others fought the adult hill giants earlier than Qin Lun and the small hills. This was not because the adult hill giants were better to deal with, but the traps set by the team against the adult hill giants were more perfect and vicious. After all, they prepared for this for three days.
As the opponent speculated, Hill and others used Qin Lun's elf story to avoid the thief Yu Mo's surveillance and quietly prepared a swamp for the hill giant in this glade.
It is not a simple task to artificially create a swamp that can trap the hill giants in the forest. The forest is full of trees, and watering three days in advance is useless. Even a pond will be absorbed by the soil and roots within half a day. Watering it before the battle will not be so much spare time.
Besides, even if they had time to create a swamp before the battle, they could not hide such a large area. It would be better to expect the sows to climb trees if they had high IQs to take the initiative to enter the swamp.
The idea of Hill and others was to create a half-marsh land similar to the swamp effect. They first dug countless mud pits with a diameter of half a meter and a depth of only fifty or sixty centimeters on this open space, and then inserted poisonous sharp bamboo sticks on the bottom and placed a water bag.
This kind of mud pit can be seen through at a glance, and the hill giant will not take much precautions. Anyway, its feet are thick and the bamboo sticks cannot even pierce the skin. The mud pit is less than the knees, just like trekking in the snow. At most, it cannot jump high and walk slowly, so it cannot really trap it.
However, the hill giant with an IQ equivalent to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old man finally discovered the sinister and viciousness of this trap when the battle was in the middle of the battle.
Whenever it steps on a mud pit, the water bag will be broken and the mud pit will become a water pit. Although its skin is as hard as cowhide, it will be pierced by bamboo sticks for a long time. Moreover, the venom on it will contaminate the mud and water and slowly penetrate into its body during the battle.
However, it was only at this time that it was too late. The enemy had lured it to trample most mud pits. The open space became a real mud swamp. The mud pit that was originally only more than half a meter deep was turned into mud due to the infiltration of a large amount of sewage.
The hill giant weighing two tons, with one foot on his feet, filled his knees and sometimes even reached the base of his thighs. The more and more toxins accumulated in his body, slowly affecting its mentality and movement ability.
When the hill giant realized that it had to escape from the mud, there was no way to do anything. After all, there were two MTs, Sass and Frank, who were taking turns to stop it regardless of life and death. As time went by, it not only could not jump up again, but also dizzy, slow to move, and fell into a vicious cycle.
Even so, Hill and others paid a heavy price, and the large amount of recovery items consumed were not mentioned yet. By the end of the battle, everyone in the team was carrying injuries of varying degrees. Frank, the worst-savvy, lost an arm and couldn't even lift the "Skull Brokener".
The hostile team hidden in the dark was even more stunned. Because the giant had continuous damage from toxins in their bodies, they could not calculate the health of the Hill Giant. At the same time, they were worried that it would backfire when they appeared early, so they were escaped by Hill and others with the help of the giant. So they waited until the Hill Giant died before appearing from the dark and launched a sudden attack on Hill and others.
At that time, it was the second half of Qin Lun and Qing Ming's attack on the little giant. Although Qing Ming still failed to confirm Qin Lun's true identity, neither she nor their scheming leader would care about Qin Lun anymore.
Because the battle was at this stage, Hill and others were obviously tired, and there was no way to pretend. Qin Lun was still in the hill cave and showed no sign of backing assistance. They had already ruled out Qin Lun's suspicion in their hearts, believing that even if he was an apostle, he would not be likely to be with Hill and others.
This is also why Qing Ming put aside his doubts and tried his best to attack the hill giant. After hearing the battle situation there, she felt the difficulty of Hill and others, hoping to go back to join the war as soon as possible to avoid any accidents, and thus subconsciously ignored the potential danger hidden here.
In the entire plan designed by Qin Lun and Hill, Qin Lun is crucial, but Hill is ready for failure on the main line.
However, due to Qing Ming's invasion and the caution of the enemy's regiment commander, Hill unexpectedly completed the main line. On Qin Lun's side, Qing Ming's damage to the hill giant came from behind, even surpassing the damage caused by Qin Lun, which led to his personal hunting mission on the verge of failure.
