14. Fighting hard and cultivating towards a new world
Zhang Niujiao, the leader of the "Black Mountain Army", a branch of the Yellow Turban Army. The Black Mountain Army is different from the ordinary Yellow Turban Army. They are not followers of Taiping Road. They are more like bandits than Yellow Turbans. They just borrowed the name of the Yellow Turban Army.
As their first leader, Zhang Niujiao is also a slightly famous character in history.
There is no doubt that he is a two-star general. You can tell by looking at the sparks on the tip of his spear from time to time - the attack has attributes, which is a characteristic of a two-star general.
If it is Cheng Peng in a normal state, although he has accumulated the experience required to be promoted to two stars, he has not completed the breakthrough after all. Even if he can barely resist for a while, he will surely fall due to the gap in basic attributes for a little longer.
defeat.
But Cheng Peng now is not in a "normal state"![
Before the battle started, he activated his fighting spirit and greatly improved his abilities.
In the system panel, the character information column clearly shows that he is now a temporary two-star, and he is relatively powerful among the two-stars - just look at the experience bar that is almost touching three stars.
.
Therefore, facing Zhang Niujiao, he not only did not fall at a disadvantage, but actually gained some advantages.
The marksmanship used by the two of them is similar. They are both simple and clear military formation marksmanship. There is no fancy, straight forward, fierce and ruthless. What they pursue is to stab the enemy to death even if they are injured.
After a while, there were many wounds on the two people's faces and bodies. The most serious one fell on each other's left shoulders. It was a brutal stabbing. Both sides had no intention of dodging at all, but just slightly avoided the vital points——
As a result, each shot aimed at the heart and stabbed hard on the shoulder, causing blood to flow profusely.
Cheng Peng has some advantages in basic attributes, but Zhang Niujiao's spear skills are higher. Overall, they are evenly matched, forming a desperate battle situation where injuries are exchanged.
When the good players came from all over the place, what they saw was two bloody warriors fighting to the death.
"Holy shit! The beating was so brutal!" This was just for show.
"It seems to be about the same..." This is someone who has some experience and can judge the situation.
"That's right, if we continue to fight like this, we will both die together?" This is also relatively experienced.
"Zhang Niujiao is a two-star general, and Cheng Peng can actually fight like this with him... Could it be that he is also a two-star general? The system didn't notify him!" This was envy.
"What a good man! This is how a man should fight!" This was a compliment.
"The marksmanship is so bad. If this marksmanship were used in reality, I could stab him to death with just a raise of my hand!" This is a martial arts master.
"Damn it! This guy is so far ahead that he can't catch up... He must have an affair with GM!" This is envy and hatred...
"Not handsome at all! Shouldn't a duel be fought with white clothes like snow and black hair flying? It's really a waste of time!"... It's Cheng Peng's fault that you are not satisfied. Please be sure to do it next time Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng duel.
Appreciation...
The onlookers did not affect the two parties in the duel. All their energy had been devoted to the battle. In this tense battle, any distraction could lead to death.
As time passed by, Zhang Niujiao gradually began to decline.
The key to victory or defeat lies in the weapons of both sides.
Zhang Niujiao's weapon is a heavy point-steel gun, which makes a whirring sound when fired, and is very powerful; in comparison, Cheng Peng's blood-soaked five-hook gun is indeed slightly less powerful - a one-star weapon No matter how powerful it is, it is only one-star after all. Compared with the two-star weapons that come with two-star generals, there is indeed a gap - but the five-hook gun has a huge advantage - [
Tear!
This skill it comes with can cause additional damage every time it attacks. Although the damage is not large, it is continuous. After a long period of fierce fighting, the result is impressive, and it is even better than Cheng Peng himself. The attack effect is more significant.
Experienced players have already seen some clues from the wounds on both sides.
Although both of them were covered in blood, the wound on Cheng Peng's body was no longer bleeding. After all, this is a game, not reality. As long as the injury is not persistent, the bleeding will soon stop, leaving only a scar; however, Zhang Niujiao's body Every wound on his body is bleeding continuously!
"Cheng Peng's gun is very powerful!" Zhao Yalong, who came at full speed, pointed at Zhang Niujiao, who was almost a bloody man, and said, "It probably comes with skills such as 'bleeding' and 'tearing' that can cause continuous damage, and the skills The activation rate is astonishingly high!”
"Of course, since he can deliver such a powerful weapon as the Six-flowered Eyebrow Stick without changing his expression, the gun he uses must be better." Hua Qisheng nodded and said, "This gun fell into his hands. In fact, It’s a pity that this is a magic weapon for defeating bosses!”
"When he changes his weapon, let's discuss it and hope to buy it at a suitable price."
While talking, the two sides had already decided the winner.
Zhang Niujiao retreated.
His injuries were too serious and he could no longer fight.
The Yellow Turban Army swarmed up, protected the unsteady leader, and retreated into the stronghold.
Watching the Yellow Turban Army retreat and hearing the cheers of the players, Cheng Peng smiled.
The fighting spirit's activation time is about to run out. If you don't back down, you may be the loser...
But there is no "maybe" on the battlefield. Victory is victory, defeat is defeat. Zhang Niujiao lost, but he won!
Dragging his body tired from the hard battle, Cheng Peng raised his five-hook gun, which had almost exhausted its durability due to the fierce battle, to signal to the players who were surrounding him.
[The fighting spirit activation time is over, and the fighting spirit’s protection status is removed.]
His vision suddenly went dark, and he was kicked out of the game.
System prompt: Your character has fallen into a coma and is temporarily uncontrollable. Please wait twelve hours before going online again.
Many players have encountered this situation. For example, during the battle to encircle and suppress Ma Yuanyi, Li Wei was kicked offline because his character was seriously injured and unconscious. Generally speaking, there was no problem, it was just that the character needed to recuperate.
Since it was still early, he simply drove the hover car to the nearby mountain top to see the snow scene. It snowed heavily yesterday, and the scenery was very good.
He did intend to bring a few friends with him, but most of them were in the game. The only one who was not online, Wen De, had already driven to a nearby city to exchange feelings with his new female netizen...
Forget it, it’s not bad to enjoy the snow alone.[
Play and rest.
Twelve hours later, Cheng Peng came online on time.
A burst of pain and exhaustion hit him, and he couldn't help but scream.
"Ouch! Who bandaged me? Why do I feel like I have turned into a mummy?"
"Hello, mummy, goodbye, mummy." Levi walked over with a smile, holding a bowl of suspicious-looking medicinal soup in his hand, "Drink this, you will get better soon."
Once players fall into a state of recuperation, they need to cultivate and take medicine. I don't know if it is a bad taste of the game designer. When recuperating, they need to drink some very bitter medicinal soup, otherwise the recuperation time will be very long.
Cheng Peng has always felt strange in the past, why many players would rather spend twice as much time recovering from injuries rather than take medicine?
Now he understands.
"I will definitely pay more attention next time and never let myself get hurt so badly that I need to recover!" He rinsed his mouth with water three times, but he still felt that his mouth was sour and couldn't help complaining, "Which bastard designed it?
Whoever came up with this medication-taking system is simply a scam!"
"This is called cheating without negotiation." Xu Tu opened the door of the barracks and walked in, "How about it? Is it okay?"
"Fortunately, the system prompts me that I need to recuperate for six hours." Cheng Peng looked at the countdown on the character panel and replied smoothly, "Hey... there is another system message..."
After clicking on the message, he was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Xu Tu and Li Wei asked at the same time.
Cheng Peng stayed for a few seconds, grinned, and laughed wildly.
The content of that system information is as follows:
[During the battle with Zhang Niujiao, you vaguely found a way to break through the bottleneck. You can achieve a breakthrough through seclusion and practice.]
Three days later, at exactly 12 noon on March 14th of the first year of the game, a system announcement shocked millions of players.
[Player Cheng Peng, through seclusion and practice, successfully broke through the bottleneck and was promoted to two stars. 】
A few minutes later, the system issued an announcement of shutdown and upgrade.
["Great Adventure" will be down for one day to upgrade to the v12 version. Various high-level worlds are gradually opening up. More worlds, stronger stunts, more gorgeous battles and equipment, and more exciting adventures are waiting for your arrival!
】
Let’s not talk about how Cheng Peng became famous, or how many universal points he sold for that article, which was actually only a few hundred words long. The most important thing for him now is to decide whether to go to other worlds.
"I think you should go to other worlds." Wen De said, "There are always advantages to being ahead. Maybe you can achieve greater development by relying on this first-mover advantage."
"But the battle situation here also needs him!" Xiao Xiao objected, "Without him as a fierce general, the combat effectiveness of our army will plummet. Shouldn't we first ensure the stability of the rear?"
"We are not children, can't we fight without him?" Li Wei disagreed with Xiao Xiao's statement, "We have all risen to one star, and we can be considered independent. Even if we can't expand the results, can we?
Can’t we lose?”
For a while, the three people were arguing fiercely.
"What do you think?" Xu Tu looked at Cheng Peng and asked calmly, "The most important thing now is your opinion. Do you want to continue to develop in the world of "Three Kingdoms"? Or do you want to explore a more advanced world and open up
situation?"
"It's very difficult..." Cheng Peng felt a little troubled. He felt that what everyone said was reasonable, but it was obvious that he could not take both into account and could only choose one of the two.
"Then let's change our thinking. What do you want now?"
"Improve your strength! Become stronger!" Cheng Peng answered without hesitation.
"So, what do you think is your biggest shortcoming right now?"
Cheng Peng pondered for a while, frowned and said: "After all, I am not a martial artist who knows kung fu in real life. I can just rush and kill on the battlefield. When fighting one on one, I always feel that my skills are not perfect enough and I can fight hard."
That’s not what you mean!”
"In that case, what's there to hesitate about?" Xu Tu smiled, "Let's go find a martial arts-themed world. You need to learn some 'skills' that can compete with martial artists."
A few hours later, Cheng Peng said goodbye to everyone and left the world of "Three Kingdoms". In the two-star "martial arts" world, he chose the famous "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
