Steven piled six assassins and two rifles together, set a fire, and watched as the flames burned and destroyed all traces.
He didn't want to leave any useful clues to the killer organization. After disposing of the assassin's body, he got on his horse and looked for the killer's camp along the direction where he had been blocked.
Two kilometers after passing the ambush site, he discovered the camp of this group of assassins. Six tents were propped up in the grass on a slightly higher ground. The grass in the camp had been cut down, and several alarm traps were buried around it. Steven crossed
The trap came to the camp.
It seems that these people have been here for a few days. Judging from some of the traces and circumstances left behind, these people have been waiting for me here, at least for a few days. It is estimated that they leave the camp every morning and set up an ambush by the river.
After one day of waiting, he returned to the camp to rest, and the next day he went to the river to ambush.
Steven walked relatively slowly on the road. He was roaming in the wilderness with a leisurely travel mentality. According to the regular speed, he should have passed the ambush site two days ago. It seemed that they knew their itinerary very accurately.
Well!
They didn't expect that they would slowly wander over.
Steven rummaged around the camp and tents and found nothing that could provide information about their identities. These killers were very professional, which also showed that this organization was powerful.
Although he found no clues, he found some bandages and wound medicine in the camp, which were reserved by the killers. He treated the wounds again, and he planned to take away these medicines and bandages.
This is an experience. In the future, you will need to bring medicine and bandages when entering the wilderness. If you are accidentally injured, you can get timely treatment. He is alone now, and there is no wood element controller like Edith by his side. It is necessary to bring medicine.
Steven got on his horse and left the camp, heading towards the city of Ukesa, where he was going to take the steam train to Pallas, the Principality of Fortis.
He was thinking about whether he should stay overnight in the suburbs instead of entering Ukesa City and take the train directly to the city in the morning. After all, being targeted by a powerful killer organization was not a good thing. If possible, avoid it.
Even if he is not afraid of those killers, they are surrounding him like flies, which will definitely affect his good mood when traveling in the southern part of the alliance.
But in the end he decided to go to the city. Firstly, the chestnut horse needed to be sold. It was impossible to take the horse with him on the train. It could only be sold in the city. The horse cost him a lot of money and it was impossible to throw it away. Secondly, he
I also want to buy some consumables in the city, including dry food and the like.
And even if he didn't spend the night in the city, he probably wouldn't be able to get rid of those killers. So he might as well just go into the city and just be more vigilant.
He had underestimated this killer organization before, and now he could not make the same mistake again.
Steven took out an arm guard from his backpack, buckled it on his left arm, and tied the laces tightly, so that his left arm could be used as a smaller version of the shield at certain times during the battle, which greatly enhanced his strength.
His defense.
While riding his horse slowly on the grassland, he recalled the battle process after being ambushed in the morning.
Review previous battles. This is the experience he learned in the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group. Review each battle to find out the experiences and lessons that need improvement so that he can make progress next time.
The first is to despise one's enemies, which has been reviewed just now.
Secondly, he discovered his own flaw in perception, that is, if the distance is more than a hundred meters, he cannot detect the enemy first, especially the perception after being locked. After more than a hundred meters, he cannot sense that he is mentally locked. If the enemy uses
If the rifle is aimed at him more than a hundred meters away, he won't be able to sense it!
What needs to be considered now is to improve passive perception, especially the distance issue of being targeted. At least he must be able to sense being targeted within the range of the rifle, so that he can take the initiative!
But how can we strengthen this aspect?
Steven summarized that he now has two passive skills, one is locked perception, and the other is passive burst. These two skills are very important to him, but how can he enhance these two skills?
Passive burst skills and active burst skills are related, but the will rune he visualized on the road related to the active burst skill did not improve the passive burst skill.
If you think about it carefully, this skill is not only related to will, but also to physical fitness. Even if you can sense objects that are coming quickly, your body must be able to respond accordingly. It seems that this skill is related to the talisman of flame on the chest.
The article is related and can only be improved gradually in the future.
There is also the perception after being mentally locked. This is also a passive skill. It is definitely related to perception, but the several rune visualizations done before have not improved the intensity of this skill!
Is this a characteristic of the soul rune? The three active skills he has developed so far have nothing to do with the soul rune. The passive skill of sensing being mentally locked seems to have something to do with the soul rune, but it is not a direct causal relationship. It is stronger.
The connection should instead be the perception rune!
However, the visual perception rune only improved the soul perception skill and did not enhance the passive skill. It seemed that the improvement of the passive skill was different from the active skill. He could not find a clue yet.
Steven decided to change his mind. The biggest threat to him now should come from long-distance sniping. His past life experience told him that sniper guns have always been the most powerful weapon for killing people! And it just suppressed his advantage!
Although the firearms in this world have not yet evolved to what they were in the previous life, even a flintlock rifle equipped with a crosshair and a trained sharpshooter are enough to pose a fatal threat to him!
It seems that the passive skills cannot be strengthened in the short term, so what can be strengthened now is physical fitness! The sixth scroll has been practicing without interruption, and as the practice time increases, his physical fitness also continues to improve.
improve.
Steven recalled the scene when he was dodging bullets on horseback, and then discovered an important situation!
When a bullet comes out of the barrel and hits him, he can feel it within a hundred meters!
This is known from the fact that he immediately entered a passive burst state. It takes time for a bullet to reach his body within a hundred meters. Even if it only takes a few tenths of a second, it still takes time!
So now it is not actually a matter of the distance being locked, but a matter of the speed of his body's reaction in this state. If he could have been faster at that time, he would not have been injured!
That’s right! That’s the idea!
Now that his physical fitness is still improving, it is very likely that soon he will be able to completely dodge the bullets fired at him in the situation like that in the morning!
Of course, if he had been wearing arm guards at that time, he could have deflected bullets with the arm guards on his arms! The arm guards made from the back shells of these giant centipedes are extremely hard, and there is no problem in deflecting bullets!
At that time, he was riding a horse, and the first bullet was shot at his chest from the left front. He only had to raise his left arm. If there was an arm guard on his left arm, he could block the bullet. But what if the bullet was shot from the right side?
?
With this thought, Steven quickly turned around and took out another arm guard from the package behind the horse and put it on his right arm. Now is not the time to install a wall guard. It should be all added to strengthen the defense!
