Chapter 737 The Twilight of the Empire
Naturally, Zhang Heng would not believe everything the old man in Tang suit said, but there was indeed a big problem with the timing of the book's appearance, so Zhang Heng put the matter aside for the time being. Recently, he spent most of his energy on How do I get to know and control the extra pair of shadow wings behind me?
Of course, in order to avoid scaring passers-by from heart attacks, Zhang Heng spent his practice time during pauses.
Unfortunately, there are only twelve seconds a day, but after two weeks of training and experimentation, Zhang Heng has basically mastered the use of the wings, and will no longer land on his face.
During the last practice, he climbed up to the 405-meter-high Radio and Television Station, looked at the city at his feet, took a deep breath, and took steps. Then his body began to fall continuously under the influence of gravity, and the speed became faster and faster. It was coming faster and faster, and when it was only a hundred meters away from the ground, Zhang Heng closed his eyes and thought about the crow in his heart.
Then a pair of shadow-shaped wings spread out behind him, helping him delay his fall, and a moment later they took him flying to a residential building in the distance.
Zhang Heng wasted no time and finally landed on the roof of a building.
Just as his toes stepped on the cement floor of the rooftop, the wings behind his back also folded and disappeared. The whole landing process was very smooth. Of course, Zhang Heng guessed that if he was more skilled, he might be able to do more complex tricks in the air. Actions can be used to evade some ground attacks or adapt to some extreme natural environments.
But for now, being able to open his wings and land smoothly during a crisis fall is considered an initial achievement of his goal, which means that he will no longer be in danger of accidentally falling to his death in the future.
In addition, these wings also add an option for him to get out of trouble. Since the use of [Moment of Shadow] and [Wall of Evil Thoughts] has been exhausted, although Zhang Heng has more and more game props, But there were no props to use to get out of trouble in critical moments. Although with his skills, he didn't encounter any danger that he couldn't solve.
But now that he has these wings, his safety has indeed gained an extra layer of protection.
And it must be admitted that flying has always been a dream of mankind. As early as ancient times, there were murals about flying. At the same time, this desire runs through many civilizations, whether it is Western mythology or Eastern weird novels, there are some in them. Gods, demons and monsters with wings on their backs.
Although with the development of science and technology later, people invented hot air balloons, and airplanes can take them up into the sky, but this and flying freely are completely different concepts. Even if it is only twelve seconds, in these twelve seconds Zhang Heng It does have the same flying ability as a bird.
He could overlook everything under his feet from above the city, break away from the shackles of the earth, and look at the familiar scenes from a completely different perspective, so everything became fresh. Unfortunately, twelve seconds was not enough for him to fly to the clouds. Otherwise, Zhang Heng would just reach out and touch the dark clouds.
…………
After the start of the proxy war, a big problem is that the interval between dungeons has been shortened. The dungeon trip that used to be once a month now has to be inserted into the proxy war dungeon, even though the physical condition will be restored after the dungeon ends. Before entering the dungeon, the mental fatigue will not be eliminated.
Fortunately, Zhang Heng's problem in this regard is not too big, and with the extra 24 hours, his rest interval is actually twice as long as that of other players.
Therefore, Zhang Heng returned to the game point two weeks after the previous Agent War dungeon ended and started the next round of the normal dungeon.
Before that, he had learned about Shen Xixi's score in the first round of the proxy war - 325 points. This score was certainly not low, but it was not too high either, especially after the top leaders of the three major guilds started to exert their efforts. Basically, It's definitely possible to participate in the next round of the game, but now it's only over sixty on the leaderboard, and it's still falling.
Zhang Heng didn't know whether it was because Shen Xixi had lost his strength or for some other reason. He had only seen Shen Xixi take action once, and that was about the yogurt thing that night. That small scale probably had the ability to attack souls. When Shen Xixi used it, it was like Follow your words.
Zhang Heng's visual inspection should be that it is a B-level prop. In addition, Shen Xixi, as Justitia's agent, should have other abilities. Of course, Shen Xixi's attack method also has limitations, that is, it can basically only attack enemies with evil attributes. Using it, she failed to intercept Shen Dongxing that night. Of course, she is a very good decision-maker. If her team members are there, she still has a way to maximize the ability of each team member.
The current ranking does not mean her true strength. In addition, Zhang Heng finally gave up the first place and was overtaken by the third place. The opponent has obviously cleared the second Agent War dungeon. Zhang Heng is against It doesn't matter, anyway, according to the bartender lady, the rewards for the 1st to 50th place are all the same.
So he still played his normal copy game step by step.
However, Zhang Heng is a little worried about Fan Meinan. She has not heard from her again since the proxy war started, and she has not responded to Zhang Heng's messages until now. The last time the two met was in McDonald's.
Fan Meinan's condition was not very good at that time. She seemed to have lost some weight, and in the end she refused Zhang Heng's offer to help.
"I've asked you about the situation over there about the knife," the bartender's voice came from his ears, "If it's the fastest, I can get it in four days. If it's slower, it should be a week. I should be able to catch up with you." The next copy of Proxy War.”
"Well, thank you." Zhang Heng sat down and took out the alarm clock. There were less than ten minutes left before midnight. Fan Meinan could only put things aside for now. Zhang Heng had to concentrate on dealing with the next one. copy.
After setting the time, he lay down on the booth, waiting for the familiar dizziness to hit him as usual.
