Chapter 187 Old Demon

The reason is that Li Shuyi is used to fighting side by side with Bai Xiaowen. With the protection of the Skull Sword and Shield, and Bai Xiaowen's strong control skills, she can output without any scruples, but without Bai Xiaowen, she must pay attention to self-protection when it comes to dueling.

After repeated failures, Li Shuyi gradually became familiar with the fighting rhythm of the solo queue, and the winning rate began to rise again.

By the end of the summer vacation, Li Shuyi's record remained at the second rank of bronze, and she failed to pass the qualifying round twice.

"My solo queue strength is probably that high, equivalent to a Level 5 Awakener of a standard occupation. In terms of combat experience, I have made great progress." Li Shuyi felt that she had gained a lot.

During this summer vacation, in addition to practicing combat on the Awakened Platform, the two also took time to practice their combat skills.

The basic attributes have been improved, and the fighting skills that were originally stuck in the bottleneck will naturally have a breakthrough. Bai Xiaowen's advanced fighting and advanced one-handed swordsmanship have all reached level 4. With the bonus of the strongest scholar, he has advanced level 5.

Li Shuyi has been promoted two levels in a row on the Fighting King plane, her basic agility has soared to 18 points, and her one-handed swordsmanship has continuously broken through. In the competition with Bai Xiaowen, she has been practicing until level 5.

This is level 5 with no title bonus and no moisture. Miss Li's swordsmanship talent is indeed very high.

On August 31, Bai Xiaowen played the last live ranking.

"Okay, I've found my opponent... We will start school tomorrow, and now we will play the third game of the promotion round, and we will go to sleep after playing..." Bai Xiaowen said with a sigh of relief wearing a virtual helmet.

"The anchor is so confident, will he definitely win?"

"It's new upstairs, Xiaowen hasn't lost since playing solo queue."

"The opponents I met didn't even make Xiaowen use all his strength."

"Don't poison milk, this is very important, if you win, you will be in the silver rank."

Now the barrage in the live broadcast room is always full, and it is impossible to reply one by one. Bai Xiaowen also did not reply, and entered the competition venue directly.

Bai Xiaowen routinely opened the battle interface, glanced at the ID and level on the opposite side, and the audience in the live broadcast room could also see it.

"What, level 7?!"

"The seventh-level Awakener is actually a Bronze rank, which is rare. Which Awakener is this 'Old Demon'?"

"One [Liang Liang] is given to the anchor."

Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised, this familiar ID, and this familiar level... Wouldn't it be so coincidental?

Even if the opposite is really an old demon from the same guild, it is still necessary to fight. Taking it seriously and not releasing water is the greatest respect for the old demon. But having said that, the strength of the old demon is not necessarily weak, no matter what, he is also a level 7 awakener, a veteran of the B league.

This one is hilly terrain with low bushes.

Bai Xiaowen took four skeleton swords and shields and climbed to the top of a stone mound. He looked around and found no old demon.

"I remember that the old demon seems to have a group stealth skill, it seems to be hiding."

Bai Xiaowen launched a mental scan, but did not catch the old demon.

There are two possibilities, either the old demon's stealth skills have a high priority, or the old demon didn't get close immediately after being invisible, and the distance is relatively far away, outside the range of mental scanning.

If you can't find it, we will find you.

Bai Xiaowen cast the puppet charm, summoned two straw demon soldiers, and scattered with four skeleton sword shield hands and skeleton mage wrapped in tattered robes, and began to search in an orderly manner.

With a wolf howl, the wolf king's angry claw was summoned and stayed beside Bai Xiaowen. On the other side, there are shadow assassins lurking.

This is the first time that Bai Xiaowen has summoned all the creatures since the battle, which immediately attracted exclamations in the barrage. The number of summoned creatures of Bai Xiaowen has reached 9, and many advanced summoning professions may not have this number.

This hill map is only a few hundred meters in radius, and the range is not large. Soon, near the hills at the other end, a skeleton sword and shield hand encountered the old demon,

Broke his invisibility.

Bai Xiaowen immediately commanded the army of summons to advance in the direction of the old demon, and at the same time used an insight skill.

【Meng Gui】

[Race: Humanoid/Human Race]

[Occupation: monk level 7]

[Attributes: Strength 15, Agility 14, Constitution 20, Spirit 28]

[Skills: Blessing, Flash, Refraction Barrier. 】

Seeing the attribute panel of the old demon, Bai Xiaowen finally understood why the old demon, as a Level 7 Awakener and a member of the main team of the Transcendent Guild, has been in the Bronze rank all the time—his own position is to be an assistant!

[Blessing] is a group skill that increases shields, [Refractive Barrier] is a three-star group stealth skill, and the last [Flash] can be attacked and defended, you can choose to restore the health of allies, or you can choose to attack the enemy. Allies deal damage, which is moderate.

Let me talk about the determination of "friendly" and "non-friendly".

Teammates on the same team are allies by default. However, if the purpose of the old demon is to "attack the target" when he casts his skills, then the [Flash] skill will cause "forced damage" even if it falls on allies.

This situation generally occurs when the friendly army is controlled by skills such as fear, and is used to wake up the friendly army.

Targets at war, default to enemy. However, if the purpose of the old demon's skill is to "heal the target", then even if the [Flash] skill falls on the enemy, it will help the opponent to restore their health.

This is of course relatively rare, but not uncommon. For example, in the quest "Capturing Kusanagi Kyoto", if Kusanagi's health is only a single digit, and the body is still bleeding, it is possible to hang up at any time and cause the mission to fail. , you can save this extremely important S-class elite mission.

This is also because the [Flash] skill is quite special, so the determination of the enemy and the enemy is based on the will of the old demon.

In most cases, the friend or foe determination of area skills is the default.

When Bai Xiaowen used the "Thunderstorm Scroll" in the world of the Three Kingdoms, the default is Guan Yu and his soldiers are allies, and the Yellow Turbans are the enemy, so the large-scale offensive item "Thunderstorm Scroll" will not attack Guan Yu's army, but only attack the Yellow Turbans. .

In contrast, the judgment of common attacks and single-target skills is not so complicated. As long as a basic attack or a single-target skill hits, it will definitely cause damage, and even if it hits an ally, it will cause "forced damage".

Just like Miss Li Shuyi, when she first practiced basic shooting in the wilderness area, the small hand crossbow accidentally injured the skeleton soldier, and the ribs were full of crossbow arrows. Although Miss Li didn't want to hurt the skeleton soldiers, she would still inflict forced damage.

Another example is the Kusanagi Manor, where the Shadow Assassin sneaked up on Kusanagi Cangji. Although Bai Xiaowen and others had already joined the Kusanagi clan at the time, and the default was friendly, the Shadow Assassin's single-target skill would still cause damage.

Similar to the killing of Dr. Muyuan in the Sound Nest Organization Base.

Having said that, two and a half of Lao Yao's three skills are auxiliary skills, so it's no wonder that he can't play in solo queue.

Tell a joke about the support's ability to duel...
