Wang Shui threw pebbles, attracting a huge mantis-like insect and then quickly retreated.

Just as the mantis monster locked onto him, Wang Shui had already slipped to an exceptionally thick tree and smoothly ducked behind it, concentrating on relaxing his body.

Naturally, the blessing came to his heart.

Wang Shui's body was instantly enveloped in a dark gray light, and his entire body was hazy for a moment before he vaguely felt a thin thread tautening on his body.

Opening the skill bar again, sure enough, the third skill space had been filled with a new skill: [Concealment].

What Wang Shui had just unleashed was the eponymous base ability of the [Concealment] skill, which cleared some of the hate values while being out of the enemy's field of vision, completely disengaging from the battle when the hate value fell below 0, and completely removing the monster locking effect.

This is a skill that all lone wolf players must master, and is also quite an important means of saving their lives.

In SAO, the monster's pathfinding and hunting distance is quite far, and it is difficult to reduce the hatred by pulling off the field of view. And it is easy to be locked by other active monsters in the environment when clearing hatred at long distances.

Concealment] is a powerful support skill that includes the ability to remove hate, confuse and conceal, and sneak attack bonuses.

But from the point of view of the effect, even if it can't be "invisible", it's still enough magic.

Wang Shui vaguely remembers that magic exists in the background of the SAO world, but the current floating city "Ai En Grant" can not be used, the specific reason he forgot, or maybe he remembered wrong.

Finally, he got the skill he wanted, which made Wang Shui deeply relieved, the oolong in front of him really surprised and scared him.

Learning the [Straight One-Handed Sword] made him think that he had grasped the key points of skill learning, and then he never thought that just pouting some twigs unlocked the [Gathering], which caught him off guard and cost him a lot.

Knowing that the natural ability also had a determination method that he didn't understand, and that he had been throwing stones lately, he could almost feel that he was about to master the [Flying Sword] skill, which was why he was in a hurry to get the [Concealment] skill to fill up the grid.

In the end, he had to use the pebbles to draw the monsters away, and just now he didn't even dare to focus on his hands.

[Flying Sword] is a skill that Wang Shui likes very much and is smooth, it's a pity that it's too weak, the future growth is too low but also consumes props, and the number of key props is also limited, so it's impossible to ensure sustainability, so he can only regretfully give in.

It was getting late, Wang Shui hadn't been able to find any other villages, so he could only return to the Cannibal Grass quest's village [Horuka Village].

Of course he wouldn't go back the same way, he would go east for a while then go back south, so that the explored map would be bigger.

Just a few minutes after Wang Shui had set off, the sound of vague steel clashing and crushing bushes reached his ears.

The dense forest area doesn't seem to have monsters that can use weapons ...... Is it a player PK?

Wang Shui hesitated for a while, player PK he did not want to intervene, for one thing, he is now an ordinary player, his advantage is nothing more than a level six level and two [Sword of Toughness and Refinement].

But the sound came from the high level area in the north, the level of the players who could go there to explore would definitely not be lower than level five, Wang Shui who was one combat skill behind, his combat power was much worse than even those elite players.

He advised himself to mind his own business, but he didn't move his feet, and his spirit was focused on the sound of the collision that was getting closer and closer.

Safety first safety first, Wang Shui muttered on his lips, put away his sword and quickly climbed up a shorter tree next to him, crouched quietly on a three-meter-high branch and launched the [Concealment] skill that he learned only a short time ago, so he should have no problem eating and watching the show at the same time while preserving himself.......

The sound of crushing branches became clear, and several groups of humanoid black shadows entered Wang Shui's line of sight.

Four against one? No, it was someone being attacked by four monsters!

Those were four crimson-skinned dog-headed monsters with great differences in height, wearing only some rough leather armor all over their bodies, and the weapons in their hands were rough and heavy giant axes, straight swords, and scimitar blades.

[Ruin Dogheads

The names of these monsters surfaced in Wang Shui's mind, they were the main monsters in the first level of the labyrinth area and the periphery of the labyrinth area, their numbers were huge and their battle power fluctuated greatly.

But this place was still at least thirty to forty kilometers away from the maze area, which was not a small number!

Wang Shui glanced at the player being chased and his heart beat heavily twice before he drew his sword without hesitation.

That player was wearing a simple leather armor similar to Wang Shui's, and was similarly holding the [Sword of Toughness and Refinement] in his hand, his short black hair was a bit messy, and underneath the slightly longer bangs was a cute boyish face that was somewhat feminine.

Kirin ah, Master Kirin ah, the first time we meet play so exciting?

Wang Shui didn't think too much, first save it, but if you can't beat it, the big deal is that the two of you will run south together, and it's easier for the two of you to survive.

Now Wang Shui's below is a relatively empty forest clearing intersection, Tong Ren from Wang Shui where the tree directly rushed through without stopping, wide space he did not dare to stay.

At this time Wang Shui suddenly jumped down from the tree and at the same time unleashed his sword technique.

[Slash Chop]!

Under the gravity, Wang Shui stabilized his sword with both hands and drew a bright red path of light in the air, wrapping it in a thunderous momentum and smashing it heavily on the smallest dog-headed man at the end of the team!

[-398!

Terrifying bludgeon values exploded from the head of the smallest dog-headed man, and Wang Shui's sword slashed down from its right shoulder, cutting diagonally into half of its body!

Stun], [Shock], [Slow], [Bleed], [Fracture]......

A row of Debuffs instantly piled up underneath the little dog-headed man's blood bar, while a bunch of Bleeding damage numbers burst out.

"Switch!"

Wang Shui made a backward jump after his decapitation landed and began to use the trees to avoid other monsters while loudly reminding Kirin.

Switching was a term commonly used when players were grouped together, meaning alternately resisting the enemy's offense.

The sound of switching directly pulled Kirin to a halt, and the words "player", "helper", and "cover" popped up in his head, and his eyes also saw the sword skill falling from the sky, and subconsciously, Kirin had rushed towards the nearest Giant Axe Doghead with the blue sword skill glow, a monster that was two meters tall.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

The hatred of the three dog-heads was actually still on Kirin, Wang Shui also unleashed his sword skill [Angry Stab] to poke one of the back row Machete dog-heads and pull it away, Kirin led the other two to fight and withdraw towards the open clearing, fighting and running away were different, right now, he needed room to maneuver.

The Machete Doghead that Wang Shui had pulled away from his hatred barked loudly in place, and a dark pink light emerged from the Machete.

[String Moon Slash]? Or was it [Predator] with the ability to break through?

The first time facing the sword skill attack Wang Shui heart high-speed thinking, he just know curved blade, that is, [curved blade] skill under the basic sword skills, but in the actual battle to see the lift hand he can not distinguish.

If you can't distinguish it, you won't be able to solve it!

Wang Shui simply lunged out to the right, directly avoiding the attack head-on.

A red light sliced straight towards the place where Wang Shui had just stood, and he managed to dodge the lightning-like surprise attack with his flying pounce stance.

On the other side Kirin was using [Horizontal Chop] (horizontal chop) to top off the giant axe dogman's downward slamming sword technique, and then walked very smoothly, using the giant axe dogman's huge body to jam the angle of the other straight sword dogman's attack, and it looked like there was no danger for a while.

Breaking the game is in my heart ...... Wang Shui immediately shortened his body and sprinted, ready to launch the [Angry Stab], but the Machete Dogman he fought against flung snot and saliva and directly ran over with his machete raised.

Distance and movement were affected, Wang Shui barely released his sword technique, but the finish and power were poor, and the Machete Dog-Headed Man only staggered two steps before coming over and slashing down.

Wang Shui hurriedly retreated to the side and back to avoid this ordinary slash, in his heart, he wanted to attack while the dog-headed man retracted his sword, but because he retreated too much, his stance did not allow for a counterattack.

Wang Shui, who had been bullying the wild boar, wild wolf and man-eating grass, looked particularly clumsy at this moment.

Wang Shui immediately understood his weakness - lack of experience in sparring.

He had a lot of sword moves in his head, a lot of game knowledge, and a lot of combat skills, he could capture his opponent's weaknesses, he could think at his leisure, and even his cowardice in battle, which was the most important thing that was holding him back, was much lighter, but he still behaved so poorly.

He is now "Wang Yuyan", empty head of knowledge and observation, he needs a lot of experience in battle to evolve to "Murong Fu"...... the level of the housekeeper.

But now there is no such time, eyes closed and open can not be epiphany become a master, but in the blink of an eye, Wang Shui has his own way to break the game!

He closed his body and pressed forward to close in on the dog head man, slashing against the dog head man in a very small range. The dog-headed man was unable to adjust his body posture to release his sword technique, and naturally Wang Shui couldn't either, but Wang Shui took the time to equip his special equipment [Supernatural Instinct]!

A sword and a sword without leveling each other's arms, both sides dropped very little blood, and that's when the role of the Blood Restoration Jewelry came into play.

As long as Wang Shui gave up some damage and instead blocked a few more times, he was even able to maintain full blood. But Kiryu's side is not optimistic, the situation he is still holding, but his blood level has almost dropped to less than half.

It had to be a quick battle!

Jewelry 【Supernatural Instinct】 cleared the strength and agility bonus on the equipment, and now the straight sword in Wang Shui's hand became unusually heavy, but the good thing was that slashing didn't require much fine control, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands and swinging it would be finished.

Wang Shui disposed of his dog head, hurriedly took out a bottle of light pink [recovery potion] and took a mouthful of it, and his blood level was replenished at a very fast speed.

But when he turned his attention to Kirin's side, he saw that Kirin was about to meet the giant axe dogman's heavy attack, and in the corner where Kirin's vision was poor, the rough longsword in the straight sword dogman's hand was also glowing with the blue light of the sword technique!

It's over.

Kirin also noticed it, but now the movement of his hand could not be stopped, Wang Shui's heart was cold because he realized that the charging distance was not enough, and the two people suddenly felt a dull pressure.

In an instant, Wang Shui's brain did a lot of thinking and calculations, and before he came up with the right answer, his body had already chosen the one with the highest probability.

When he raised his right hand, he had already clasped a pebble between his fingers, and before Wang Shui himself could react, the pebble shot out wrapped in a deep red ray of light, and Wang Shui only had time to hear the crunching sound of his right hand churning the air like the tip of a whip, before his entire arm and hand lost consciousness.

The red ray almost grazed Kirin's chin before hitting the straight-sworded dog-headed man who was preparing to sneak up on him squarely in the center of the eyebrow!

[-132!], [Stun], [Shock], [Down].

Kiryu subconsciously finished his move with the giant axe dog-head, and as he took a small step back to prepare to deal with the straight sword dog-head, he saw that his opponent was falling on his back with the stun symbol floating above his head.

"Kill the big one first!"

Wang Shui rushed over, his right arm hanging down like a noodle as he sent a charge with his sword in his left hand.

Kirin made room to attack first, and after Wang Shui finished releasing [Angry Stab] and dodged it, he connected with a [Vertical Chop].

"I can't use my entire right hand right now, and I can only use the Surge Sword Technique with my left hand, so hold on a few more times."

"Good!"

The pace began to slow down, Wang Shui finally had time to talk, and Kirin on the other side, whose blood level was below half, was full of confidence at this point.

Then Wang Shui saw Master Kiryu's fighting skills.

It should be said that even with a half-bottled knowledge of martial arts swordsmanship like Wang Shui, he could tell that this guy Kirin didn't know anything about swordsmanship swordsmanship and had never experienced combat training, not even a shadow of modern combat soldiering techniques.

He has the sense to put weight on it, but only thinks about offensive comfort, and moves fast and furious, but only for the sake of SAO's sword techniques.

But he's just strong, he's just fluid, constantly attacking to make the monster flawlessly move.

Kiryu also uses normal attacks, but his normal attacks are more on the casual side, and as long as there is an enemy in the path of his sword, he will dab twice in the process of adjusting his sword technique stance.

The swordsmanship that Wang Shui had learned about was to incorporate skillful [Stance] into every swing, into every movement.

Whereas Kiryu's [Aiengrunt Ryu Sword Art] was using dexterous body movements and extremely fast nerve reactions to look for opportunities to use [Sword Technique], all of his sword movement and pacing was a constant attempt to use a sword technique while defending himself against the enemy.

It should be said that in the game, Kirin such "sword art" is very effective, sword skills efficient release, damage and high light effect is also gorgeous, but Wang Shui always feel some ...... some uncomfortable.

Wang Shui observed during the giant axe dogman ate four or five rounds of switching fell to the ground, next to the stunned straight sword dogman but woke up a long time ago, but its head of the negative effect of the [Shock] has always existed, resulting in it walking wobbly, unable to carry out an effective attack.

In the end, the straight sword dogman and the straight sword Kirin collapsed on the ground together, don't get me wrong, Kirin just collapsed on the ground, the blood level is still at about half, the blood level is still at about half.

Full blooded Wang Shui then settled down, to be fair this fight wasn't as tense as the first time he faced the manic mountain pig, but afterwards his body was very floaty, his whole right arm was the kind of numbness that comes from sleeping on pillows for the night, swinging wildly like a rope.

Sticking his sword in the ground with his left hand, Wang Shui moved closer to Kirin, and realizing that he was adjusting his breathing with his eyes closed, he reached out his left hand and said:

"Is it okay, replenish your HP first?"

Kirin slowly opened his eyes and looked at Wang Shui's exhaustion and drooping right arm, an expression of guilt mixed with other complex feelings tangled up on his face.

"Thank you very much ...... How's your hand?" Kirin took Wang Shui's left arm and stood up, then fished out a bottle of recovery potion from the leather belt's carry buckle to use.

"Minor problem, right arm [Partial Destruction] status for two hours, but I'll be relying on you to return to [Horuka Village] next."

"Of course, leave the back to me."

Kirin, whose complexion and gaze returned to normal, found his usual composure, touched fists with Wang Shui, and was about to greet and go together when he suddenly said in surprise:

"What's going on? The corpses of these dog-heads didn't refresh!" After saying that, he began to nervously check the battle report.

"Calm down, this is the effect of the [Gathering] skill, the default is to automatically keep the corpses waiting to be gathered."

Said Wang Shui touching the corpses one by one, his left hand is not convenient to shred ...... cough cough, not convenient to deal with the corpses, he simply kicked the monster's weapon to one side, as a result, he only collected the [Dogman Giant Axe Fragment] on the Giant Axe Dogman.

"The [Gathering] skill actually has this kind of effect, it didn't before ...... Wait, this ...... Swordsman, you have equipped the [Gathering] skill? And just now you used the [Flying Sword]! In other words, you didn't learn any auxiliary combat skills?!"

Kirin's shock caused Wang Shui's emotions to be extraordinarily complicated, then raised his hand and sent a friend request over.

"Okay, okay, don't be so surprised, I'm not going to be a solo raider all the time, also, who calls themselves a swordsman, just call me "Tianshu"."

Casually made up a reason, Wang Shui also took advantage of the angle facing Kirin, pretended to check the props bar, but in fact opened the skill bar.

[One-handed Straight Sword], [Gathering], [Concealment] ...... [Flying Sword]

Three skill grids, four skills.

The [Flying Sword] skill did not appear on the unopened fourth grid, but instead existed on a separate line alone. Originally a blank area on the page, the skill icon was now embedded there, as if it was a mapping error.

This wasn't a bug, Wang Shui immediately thought of the penultimate part of his natural ability.

[Unrestricted Learning Ability]

This, is the bug, right?
