Gaara was there commanding his subordinates to leave, while Cheng Peng was silently complaining from the side.
(Hey, hey! Don’t raise the death flag randomly, okay! Even if you are going to die, don’t die in my hands!)
There is a strange "convention" among NPCs. No matter how powerful a character is, if he speaks certain lines, it means that his death is imminent. These seemingly nothing special lines are called "death flags"
.
There are many types of these death flags, and their contents are also varied. Cheng Peng really can't see any inevitable rules, but he at least remembers many of them.
"When this battle is over, I will go back to my hometown and get married." - The person who said this will most likely be killed in this battle and will never have the chance to get married in this life.
"After finishing this job, I will quit and wash my hands in a golden basin." - Jianghu, a son of Jianghu. Those who want to wash their hands in a golden basin will usually die in this final job.
"Tomorrow is my daughter's birthday." - Unfortunately, the father who spoke probably has no tomorrow.
"Let's leave together after this matter is over." - Well, it's better not to leave. Doing great things always involves sacrifice, and most of the people who say this are the victims.
"You go first, I'll be there later." - It's okay to say this normally, but if you say it after a break, then everyone really can't wait for you...
In addition, there are also things like recalling a peaceful and happy life before a battle, making up one's mind never to look back, thinking about one's family or girlfriend... Ahem, in short, there are really many lines that can lead to death.
…
In just a few sentences, Gaara has already set up several death flags such as "Memory Kill", "Promise Kill", "Last Mission Kill", "Farewell Kill", etc. As expected, only
He is afraid that this battle will be the last battle of his life.
The problem is that although Cheng Peng can not care about Gaara's life or death, at the very least, he must not care about "Gaara's death at the hands of Cheng Peng"!
Not to mention that during this conversation, he had a good impression of this young Kazekage. Just thinking about the trouble that Gaara might cause after being killed by him made him feel very overwhelmed.
Cheng Peng does not have particularly good friends among NPCs, but among his friends there are many people who have very good NPC friends. When everyone was chatting, they once said, "If my NPC friend is killed by someone,
, what should we do?" topic.
At that time, let alone guys like Wang Hu or Wei Ye who were usually quite murderous, even the prodigal Wen De and the light-hearted witch Liu Xueji, who always had a smile on their face, showed very scary expressions.
"Of course he will be hunted down by heaven and earth. He will not stop until he is killed and makes him cry for his father and mother!"
Comparing his feelings, he could fully imagine how much the players who had come to Gaara since the opening of the Naruto world and accompanied the boy's growth must value this friend.
Although he seemed to be on guard, Cheng Peng had already turned on the third-person perspective and began to look for a suitable escape route.
Even if Gaara is going to die, he must not die in his hands, Cheng Peng!
However, Tangyin Village is really not big. Although there are many obstacles around it, due to the influence of "building rules", it is impossible for Cheng Peng to cross the low bamboo fence and rush out of the village. If he wants to leave,
The only way out is the village entrance ahead.
In that direction, Gaara is blocking it!
There are many buildings in Yuyin Village, but none of those buildings have the function of "blocking". The only thing that can ensure that Gaara cannot chase him is the resurrection point, but the resurrection point is usually inaccessible...
Looking left, right, and up and down, Cheng Peng still couldn't find a suitable retreat path.
On the other side, Gaara will not just wait there stupidly.
After explaining the matter and letting Kankuro and others leave, the young Kazekage turned his attention to Cheng Peng again.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long." He still smiled very gently and uprightly, looking like a hero cherishing heroes. "There are very few useful people who will wait patiently like you, and let these things go."
For me, it may be that the person I care about leaves, and to be honest, it is not in line with the wisdom of combat - but I have to say that I have never liked that so-called 'combat wisdom'. So, I like your approach very much.
"
After all, Cheng Peng still couldn't find a way to retreat, so he had to switch back to the first-person perspective suitable for combat, shook his head with a wry smile, and showed off his ice gun.
Since you can't leave, let's fight!
Although the enemy is not suitable, the matter has come to this, and he will not be able to explain it to everyone in Tangyin Village without doing something.
...No, no one in Tangyin Village will know the details of the battle that took place here. The reason why Cheng Peng decided to fight was actually because he wanted to give himself an explanation.
It is human nature to "throw away rats", but if you think about it carefully, the world of Naruto has been open for so long, and there are probably many NPCs who have good friendship with the players. Even the dried persimmon Kisame that he killed before may not be there.
Player friends. Moreover, Konoha Village is where the protagonist is, and as the largest force in the world, there must be many players in it. I am afraid that every slightly famous NPC has a large group of friends. If they avoid playing with each other just because they are against the enemy,
If these people fight, then this war will not need to be fought!
Cheng Peng took a deep breath and then breathed it out slowly.
When the turbid breath was gone, his eyes were bright and clear, and there was no longer any hesitation or anxiety, only a calm and cold murderous intention.
"I don't want to fight, but I can't watch you capture everyone in Tangyin Village." His voice was smooth, but without any warmth, just like the cold wind blowing from the Siberian ice sheet.
Uneasy, "How about we discuss it?"
"This is not the tone of your discussion!" Gaara smiled, but his smile gradually became colder, and a sharp light shone in his eyes, "Let's not say those worthless words. This is war, no matter what,
The problem of war must ultimately be solved by means of war."
Before he finished speaking, the ground beneath Cheng Peng's feet suddenly cracked, and the stone road with the small bridge and flowing water turned into countless rubbles. It exploded like a bomb, sending up huge smoke pillars. Among the dust waves, there was a shrill sound of wind.
The splashing rubble is like bullets fired from firearms, carrying strong kinetic energy and piercing the walls of nearby buildings one by one.
This is just the reaction force caused by Cheng Peng's charge.
And when Cheng Peng rushed across the dozens of meters between them and came to Gaara, there was an earth-shattering bang where he originally stood.
This is the first time Cheng Peng has used Shukuchi with all his strength since coming out of Lingyun Cave!
Facing that earth-shattering scene, Gaara didn't have any fear, but showed a bloodthirsty smile.
Even though he usually looks as amiable as the big brother next door, Gaara is still a warrior deep down, a fierce warrior, a bloodthirsty Asura!
The name "Gaara" means "Asura who only loves myself".
He didn't need to make any special gestures, the yellow sand spread under his feet suddenly stood up and turned into walls, blocking him and Cheng Peng.
Cheng Peng's charge was astonishingly fast and powerful. He broke through several sand walls in a blink of an eye. The extremely sharp ice and snow spear gave full play to its power, piercing the sand walls that were strong enough to withstand cannonballs.
He penetrated Gaara, and then his body rushed over. Although every breakthrough required a lot of energy, it still only took a very short time to rush to where Gaara was standing, and stabbed with his spear.
However, the shot missed.
Gaara also has a lot of combat experience. Just as Cheng Peng has seen his information from the information and knows that what he is best at is manipulating sand to fight, he has also seen the information about Cheng Peng and knows that Cheng Peng is best at high-speed assaults.
.
So while erecting the sand wall, he was already retreating, retreating far away in one breath.
In terms of speed, Gaara is much slower than Cheng Peng, but one is retreating directly, while the other is trying to break through the layers of solid sand walls. The difficulty between them is very different, so the speed naturally increases.
the gap.
Cheng Peng stabbed the air with his spear, and his heart trembled secretly. In his spiritual sense, he could already feel that the distance between Gaara and himself had been fully opened, even further than before.
Obviously, if he uses this reckless method to break through the sand walls layer by layer, he will never be able to catch up with Gaara in his life, and will instead exhaust his strength in the process of continuous breakthroughs.
Although the sand wall is broken through, Gaara will also lose a lot of chakra, but who is Gaara? He is the "Jinchuuriki" who lives with the tailed beasts, and through long-term training with the help of players, he has become
A strong person who fully controls the power of a tailed beast can obtain nearly infinite chakra from the tailed beast!
Maybe the tailed beast's chakra is also limited, but at the very least, it is absolutely impossible for Cheng Peng alone to defeat Gaara, who has the support of the tailed beast's chakra, in a war of attrition.
So after the missed attack, Cheng Peng not only failed to catch up, but actually retreated a lot.
He retreated again and again, and retreated far away. Finally, the surrounding ground finally returned to normal, and there was no longer a grain of sand in sight.
No matter how much chakra Gaara has, the range he can control is still limited.
After confirming this, Cheng Peng settled down.
Although the enemy is indeed very strong, there is still hope of victory!
