After resting throughout the day, when night fell and the bright moon shone over Fuyuki Town, the players who had been recharging their energy for a long time set off one after another, leading their respective Heroic Spirit followers to the battlefield of their choice.
Cheng Peng and Tosanae's destination is the river beach and bridge located in the south-central part of Fuyuki Town.
Of course, this location was not chosen randomly, but was decided after they discussed it during the day.
Fuyuki Town can be said to be big, but it can be said to be small. The high-rise buildings scattered throughout it seriously obstruct the line of sight, making it impossible for people to see too far away. What's worse is that there are lines of sight between each building.
Hard-to-reach corners.
This terrain is probably very suitable for people who like to assassinate with stealth, but it is very inconvenient for Cheng Peng and Du Sanmiao - Cheng Peng himself has the ability to hide, but it is difficult to act independently because he cannot store much magic power.
He has no way of going out alone to be an assassin. If he wants to go out, he needs Du Sanae to accompany him. However, although Du Sanae, as a gap monster, can hide in any gap, he cannot provide magic power in that state.
, If you want to fight, you have to leave the hiding place. Once she comes out, she is likely to become a target of being sniped... So after some discussion, they finally decided to choose the battlefield on the riverside with the widest view in the entire city.
Although fighting here cannot be taken by surprise, Cheng Peng has never been afraid of positional warfare - not to mention being adjacent to the river is also very beneficial to him. If necessary, he may be able to get considerable advantages by leading the enemy into the water!
The distance from the hotel to the river beach was not that far, but because they were worried about encountering a surprise attack on the road, they didn't walk fast and basically kept alert at all times. It took them a full twenty minutes to reach their destination.
After standing on the bridge and seeing all the open grasslands and river beaches around her, Du Sanmiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves relaxed.
At this moment, a strong warning sign suddenly flashed in Cheng Peng's heart!
Without any time to think about it, he hugged Du Sanmiao and launched Shukuchi with all his strength. The two of them seemed to turn into a black shadow, disappeared in an instant, and rushed to more than ten meters away.
At the same time, there was a loud noise, and a large hole was opened on the bridge deck where Du Sanae was standing. The steel bridge plate, which was large enough for heavy trucks to pass safely, was cracked and twisted, like a torn piece of plastic.
What would happen if this shot hit someone?
Du Sanmiao came back to her senses and looked at the terrifying hole on the ground, her face turned slightly pale.
Cheng Peng was sure that there was no danger for the time being, so he let her go.
"Give me a throwing gun with the 'increased range' effect."
He collected a lot of throwing guns some time ago. The level is not high, but they come with various special effects. Of course, these weapons cannot be used directly as Noble Phantasms, but they can be given to Du Sanmiao first, and then Du Sanmiao gives them to him - this
The process is boring, but it is the only way to bypass the system's restrictions on "heroic spirit" equipment.
Taking the throwing spear, Cheng Peng closed his eyes, aimed in the direction of the warning sign, and threw the two-star silver-level throwing spear that could increase the range.
When the gun was fired, the howling wind was as sharp as a bullet. The silver-white gun turned into a meteor, tearing the atmosphere, passing through the night sky, and heading straight for the target.
"Did you hit it?" A few seconds later, Du Sanmiao looked at Cheng Peng's face, which was so calm that there was no emotion at all, and asked curiously.
Cheng Peng shook his head: "Someone blocked it for him and missed the shot."
"Is it a heroic spirit?"
"No...it doesn't feel like it, maybe he's a more powerful magician..." Cheng Peng didn't dwell on this issue too much, and his face gradually softened, and he was no longer in a state of war.
Although he was sniped as soon as he arrived, the advantage of the terrain is indeed very obvious-if a sneak attack by a heavy sniper rifle like this is in a city with a relatively narrow field of vision and many things that interfere with perception, Cheng Peng is very
It may be like yesterday when I was attacked by Lu Bu, my reaction was a little late, and I couldn't fight back after being attacked.
So even though they were not in a good mood, they still stayed on the bridge and were alert to the surroundings.
The night in late October was quite cold, but fortunately the two of them were not afraid of the cold - Du Sanmiao, who wore the fire feather, was very cold-resistant, and Cheng Peng himself...he was a practitioner of ice-based internal skills, unless
When encountering an out-of-standard super boss like Zhang Liang, otherwise he would always be the only one who freezes others!
Far from hindering them, the cold is their natural ally. The colder the weather, the better it is for them.
Of course, they would not just stay on the bridge and wait for the enemy to appear. Taking advantage of the temporary safety, Du Sanae began to make spell traps.
People often say that "Warriors rely on muscles to survive, and mages rely on brains." This statement is not fabricated out of thin air, but is well-founded - except for some mages who are born in brainless violent bombing worlds, the physiques of mages in most worlds are
They are weaker than warriors and have no upper hand in either strength or speed. If it is a sudden encounter at a medium or close range, even a high-level mage may be knocked down in one fell swoop. But as long as adequate preparations are made, the power of the mage can be fully achieved
manifested.
Take Du Sanmiao, for example. If she started fighting directly, even five or six of her wouldn't be able to defeat Cheng Peng, and she couldn't help much in the battle of heroic spirits. But when she prepared on the river beach near the bridge
After one spell trap after another, the situation is different... In the warrior state, Cheng Peng's strongest weapon is speed. When he increases his speed to the limit, even powerful enemies like Lu Bu can handle it with ease and stability.
Stable suppression - However, most of those spell traps will reduce the enemy's speed.
Using this kind of trap as the main focus is naturally based on Cheng Peng's suggestion - since his strongest weapon is speed, then the trap should of course be designed around how to maximize this advantage. For him, reducing the enemy's attack
Strength is meaningless. Although lowering defense seems to be effective, it does not have the effect of lowering the opponent's speed... Just imagine if Lu Bu's speed is slower by another level, then Cheng Pengda can circle around him.
He can be beaten as hard as he wants. Even if Lu Bu is thick-skinned and thick-muscled and can withstand it for a while, there will definitely be no chance of a comeback - in comparison, reducing other abilities cannot achieve such a good effect!
When the full moon gradually rose to the zenith, Du Sanmiao, who had been busy for a while, was a little tired, so the two of them rested under a pillar at the end of the bridge - this steel pillar probably couldn't stop the attacks of the heroic spirits, but at least
It's a good bunker.
"Hey, master, do you think we will gain something tonight?" Du Sanmiao has a restless temper and asked as soon as he sat down, "After working for so long, the cost of materials is worth more than ten taels of gold.
It would be such a tragedy if we get nothing!”
"There should be enemies." Cheng Peng thought about it carefully and said with confidence, "This place has a wide view and is a very good battlefield. Since we can think of it, others may not think of it - even if they can't think of it for the time being.
, we will think of it sooner or later. In other words, as long as we insist on staying here, sooner or later we will catch one or two people who have thrown themselves into the trap."
"Isn't that just like waiting for something to happen?"
"As long as you can catch the rabbit, it doesn't matter what method you use."
"...I thought that a master like you would like to attack from the front openly and blast all enemies with your fists..."
"If you have time, I will introduce you to a guy named Long Biao. He fits the style you mentioned."
"Long Biao? Who is that?"
"...He is not very famous, but he is very strong. He is generally one of the only players I know that I may not win."
"What? So powerful? Aren't you the number one master?"
"Being the best in the world... doesn't just mean force. In fact, I know at least three masters who can compete with me... and there is also an unknown one who is probably no better than me.
It’s just about the same.”
Du Sanmiao was about to ask who those three people were when her expression suddenly changed and she looked towards the end of the street in the distance.
At the same time, Cheng Peng also did the same thing.
At the end of the street, under the streetlight, a big man wearing red full-body armor, holding a large shield in his left hand, a long sword in his right hand, and wearing a feathered mask on his head was walking slowly over.
The man's walking movements did not appear to be hurried, but each step could cover a distance that ordinary people would need to walk several steps. Therefore, he was actually very fast, and he arrived at the river beach in a short time.
"Heroic spirit?" Because a spell alarm was placed on the road, Du Sanmiao discovered the enemy very early this time, but she frowned, feeling full of uncertainty in her heart, "It doesn't look like it... Temperament
It's very similar, but not as strong as..."
"At most, he only has the strength of a three-star peak." Cheng Peng had so much combat experience that he could see this person's strength at a glance, "Three-star peak, elite template, actual ability is enough to deal with ordinary four-star mid-level players - as far as heroic spirits are concerned
It’s really not that strong.”
This is not a boast. Among the heroic spirits that have appeared so far, Cheng Peng himself was originally a five-star beginner player. After system strengthening, he was promoted to a five-star intermediate player. Considering that his two states compensate for each other, his actual combat power is no less than
Six-star level; while Lu Bu, Gilgamesh and King Arthur are all six-star, it's a pity that the evaluation given by the system is a bit vague, and it is not sure which level it is.
According to this standard, perhaps the strength of heroic spirits is generally at the peak of five stars or the beginning of six stars, and the ability of a mere four-star mid-level is really not enough.
However, when Cheng Peng took action and killed this guy who looked like a heroic spirit of unknown origin under the iron palm, and watched his opponent turn into countless light spots and disappear, they did not receive the prompt to "destroy the heroic spirit".
The strangest thing is that this heroic spirit doesn't even have a name or rank. When the evaluation command is sent out, the results obtained are all question marks.
Cheng Peng frowned and looked at Fuyuki Town shrouded in night with a little worry.
Compared with the powerful Lu Bu and others, the secrets contained in this guy of unknown origin worried him even more...
