Chapter 24: Victory and Escape

The opportunity for Black Thorn to be blocked by Fang Lin and his group can be said to be very dangerous. It happens to be a time when his psychological defense and personal strength are extremely fragile! A person like Fang Lin who pays attention to planning and then acting. Once he decides to ambush and plot against the enemy, he will definitely attack when the enemy is at his weakest. It is like a person who beats a snake. When he strikes with a stick, he is not only accurate. The powerful blow hit seven inches above, and the timing chosen was also when the snake was at its weakest!

"Next, you will repel the enemy and run away!" A faint voice sounded. Black Thorn's mind was shaken, because he really had the idea in his mind to fly back while he still had the advantage!

Blackthorn had previously been dissatisfied with the uneven distribution of the spoils, so he went out alone to "make extra money" and plundered the village wantonly, killing five fire-red heavy shield giant hammer warriors and eight giant sword heavy sword warriors who came after hearing the news. After a hard fight, we are now close to the end of our strength.

It happened that he was attacked again at this time. Black Thorn felt that although he seemed to have the upper hand and was forcing the enemy in front of him to retreat, the enemy was only retreating. The enemy was like a road that could not be crushed at all. Tough spring, the greater the pressure I exert, the greater the counter-shock force will be after a while, so I came up with the idea of ​​​​retreating. The scary thing is that as soon as I had the intention to retreat, my thoughts were suddenly shattered by someone!

Black Thorn couldn't help but look back. No matter who was in such agitated mood, he couldn't keep calm. He saw a young man leaning leisurely with his eyes closed. This young man's expression was dull. It is worth mentioning that the place he was leaning on turned out to be two giant crossed pillars in the burning ruins!

The blazing flames were tumbling around him, but not even the young man's hair was curled up at all. It gave people a strange feeling in their hearts, as if the high-temperature and scorching flames were around him like a docile and tame dog. He leaned close and coquettishly, and a contented grunt came from his nose.

"It's him!" Black Thorn naturally knew who this young man was! In fact, this young man is also the main target of Black Thorn's mission to come to the II world! At no time before had he longed to meet this young man. But definitely not exhausted now! After his main purpose was revealed, he immediately slashed Lin Yinxiu's Escape Sword with all his strength. Sparks flew everywhere, and he reflexively jumped to the left!

It's just that his reaction was accurately predicted by Fang Lin!

In fact, what Fang Lin didn't want to see the most was for Black Thorn to jump back. So he deliberately shouted out in advance, so that in the heart of the frightened Black Thorn, he would have the thought of "the enemy already knows that I will leap backwards" and "I am not as good as you said to leap backwards". Because there was a burning house on the right, in a hurry, this guy could neither jump back nor dodge to the right. As expected, he was fooled and could only roll and leap to the open space to the left!

As the number one general under the Fool, Black Thorn is definitely not an ordinary reincarnation. He has gone through hundreds of battles and always leaves a way out for himself, retaining his own life-saving skills.

At this time, the only escape skills he retained were the A-level skills that had been upgraded to level 11: Ninja Technique and Shadow Clone (the arcade move list is: →←♦↓♦→a/b). When Black Thorn realized that he had temporarily escaped Lin Yinxiu's pursuit. Knowing that he was under tight siege, he leaned forward and was ready to use his skills to escape. But I heard the voice suddenly and faintly say:

'careful! He will use his last mental energy to use life-saving moves to escape. "

Black Thorn almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, almost staggered and fell. The fear in his heart was really indescribable. Is this person in front of him a devil? You can actually grasp your own thoughts so accurately!

"Could it be that... he has the ability to predict the future?" This thought gave Black Thorn cold goosebumps all over his body! "Then if I use the shadow clone, will he already have a way to deal with it?"

At the moment when Black Thorn hesitated, dirt flew from the grass on the ground, and a pair of big, thick-knuckled hands suddenly stretched out and pinched Black Thorn's ankles tightly! The purpose of Fang Lin's words. The purpose is to make Black Thorn's mind shaken and have no time to look at the surrounding environment, and at the same time give Hu Huahao, who is not as agile as Black Thorn, a chance to successfully take action!

Black Thorn yelled, knowing that he had been fooled and that his life and death were at stake, so before Hu Huahao's throwing skills could work, he suddenly drank a big purple bottle at all costs and activated the shadow clone level 11 first. I saw his body leaning forward, and an identical figure suddenly appeared, and the whole person was divided into two!

At this time, the portrait of the shadow clone is no longer an illusory image, but is undoubtedly like a real person! Its anti-attack ability is no different from that of its main body, except that its attack power is weakened to 60% of its main body, and it cannot use skills above level A. I saw that the black thorn was first divided into two parts while running forward, then divided into four parts, and then divided into eight parts. One person instantly becomes a group of people. Escape in eight directions!

This way of escaping is really difficult to catch, unless it is a large-scale group control skill such as the Thunderer's Haki Yin Destruction Formation. Only then can this A-level skill be completely suppressed!

Shadow clones at level 11 still have weaknesses, that is, the duration of the seven clones is not long, only about fifteen seconds, and it is difficult to control the clones to release skills at the same time. The limit of a perverted guy like Fang Lin is that he can only precisely control (similar to the ghost upper body) three slaves to fight and release their skills at the same time, and the rest can only take the form of entrusted control and direct instructions. However, for Black Thorn, who is good at agility, fifteen seconds is enough for him to escape so that the enemy cannot catch up!

The only flaw in Black Thorn is that before the clone, Old Hu's two big hands like iron pincers had tightly pinched Black Thorn's left ankle! But when Black Thorn cloned himself, the power was beyond the control of Pei Mo. Lao Hu only felt an indescribable force coming from his hand, and it was almost impossible to hold it.

This was an extremely rare thing for the powerful Hu Huahao. He hurriedly exerted his strength to hold on tightly. Although the black thorn could not shake off Lao Hu when he cloned himself. But Hu Huahao's huge body was pulled out of the ground like a carrot. The dirt flew up and was forcibly dragged forward by the fleeing black spines.

Lao Hu's chest was full of energy, and his whole body was bruised and bruised. For a moment, his feet also lost their balance and had no place to rest on the ground. They were dragged along in an awkward manner, knocking away the stones along the road. go. If it weren't for his extremely high defense, if it were an ordinary person who came here, he would at least be dragged along till he was covered in blood. Even so, all the clothes on his body would be torn to pieces!

Fang Lin coughed for a while, and the butcher was shocked. He suddenly swung his hook and the bloody meat hook flew out with a clatter. It wrapped around Lao Hudi's calf dangerously, and then pulled it straight with a "collapse" sound!

Even though Lao Hu was being dragged sideways, his hands refused to relax at all and tightly held the enemy's ankles! When he fought against the boulder for the first time, most of his ribs on both sides were broken alive by the desperate boulder. One can imagine the pain from the sharp broken bone piercing into the internal organs. At that time, he was stubborn and refused to let go, let alone the injury caused by friction of flesh now? As soon as he found a place on his leg to borrow some strength, he immediately launched his throwing technique!

Throwing technique!

Lao Hu has now formed his own unique consecutive skills: usually the three consecutive combos of Throwing Technique + Dry Earth. Heaven and Earth Return + (normal attack during the stun period) + Throwing Technique. If the enemy's resistance is not high (because Lao Hu’s grappling bomber level 4 comes with additional Ability: There is a chance of failure in absorption. If the enemy has high resistance, it may not be able to absorb power or cannot absorb 5 points of power.), then after this set of consecutive skills, the enemy will have to be reduced by at least 10 points. Strength, you will temporarily gain 10 points of strength. If the enemy is very strong, then you can also add the five-kill combo of Throwing Technique + Dry Earth. Heaven and Earth Return + Throwing Throwing Technique + Arashi Mountain + Throwing Throwing Technique!

Black Thorn is also very unlucky. He is also an agility expert and can achieve the position of the first person under the Fool. One can imagine how powerful he is. He once competed with Traveler in his heyday. Under the premise that Traveler didn't use his title skills, Black Thorn could tie with him. Although neither of them tried their best, their strength was still there. It’s evident! The specialty of this guy is that he is a hybrid combatant. He can not only perform assassination operations at close range, but also perform precise shooting at long distances from a distance. When you see an enemy approaching, you immediately create a clone. If Hu Huahao collides with him head-on, then the loser will probably be Lao Hu!

It was only after being caught by Hu Huahao at this time. And with the masterful Fang Lin's planning, even if Black Thorn takes a few more bottles of comprehensive recovery potions, he still won't be able to escape!

When Hu Huahao bounced up from the ground, he had already lifted Black Thorn's head and feet and hit it heavily on the hard stone next to him. However, although Black Thorn could not fight back, he could turn slightly sideways and avoid the impact when he was about to be hit. The back of the head and other vital parts were attacked! Hu Huahao was wary, and had already transmitted his doubts through the call function of the KOF contract. Then, after the dry earth and heaven and earth returned, he connected with a throwing technique, absorbing ten points of the opponent's strength, and then Lin Yinxiu had already dragged out a flash of silver light and shot it over, showing off his power again with a crazy attack!

Under the combined attack of the two, Black Thorn's strength has been reflected. In terms of resistance to blows, every time he is about to be hit by an attack, he can always cleverly avoid the key points as much as possible. , even after being hit, the muscles can tense and contract on their own to relieve force, greatly reducing the enemy's attack power. Specifically speaking, even when fighting against a boulder, Lao Hu's three-hit combination of Throwing Technique + Dry Earth, Heaven and Earth Return + Throwing Throwing Technique can deduct 380 to 420 points of physical strength from the boulder. But after these three consecutive attacks were used on Black Thorn, his physical strength was only deducted by 287 points! And he also missed two of Lao Hu's normal attacks!

This should not be an act that he actively performed based on his own will. It's an instinctive response. When such a situation occurs, either he has learned some powerful skills, or this person has very powerful protective equipment!

But as two pale golden misty haloes suddenly appeared under the feet of Lao Hu and Lin Yinxiu, Black Thorn's passive defense ability lost its effect! Fang Lin, who was still leaning on the fire pillar from a distance, seemed calm, but as soon as he turned on the crane wing formation, Black Thorn felt the shadow of death coming towards him in his originally frightened heart!

"You are affected by the true S-level skill: Crane Wing Formation (disabled) level 2!"

"The enemy's attacks on you may have continuous effects, and you will be in a state of continuous stiffness and unable to fight back. When the Crane Wing Formation is activated, the duration of the stun skill is increased by 26%, and the effect of the knock-up skill is increased by 15%. . After the continuous skill ends, it will also cause 31% additional damage that ignores the opponent's defense. The higher the number of successful combos, the greater the damage bonus."

At this moment, Black Thorn, who was frightened and angry, poured out all the dirty words in his heart. Black Thorn has been in the nightmare world for a long time. He has also been exposed to this skill and watched its detailed introduction. Therefore, he knows very clearly that this true S-level skill: Crane Wing Formation actually has quite a few limitations:

First, activating the Crane Wing Formation requires 5 points of mental power. 5000 points. Each additional second it lasts will consume 3 points of mental power and 500 points. Its high energy consumption of mental power determines that only those with special mental power can use it. If someone with agility or strength were to learn it, how long would it last?

And what gorgeous combos can a person with mental strength perform alone? It won't work even if it's a thunderer, which determines that the mental expert who learns this skill has to make a huge sacrifice. Not only must he occupy a very valuable skill position, but he must also bear the huge pressure of points brought by activating skills.

Secondly, although the Crane Wing Formation has a huge bonus effect on all attacks and the power increase is quite obvious, it also has very high requirements for companions. Even with the Crane Wing Formation. It doesn't mean that you can connect the combos by pressing randomly. It's like playing a piano. After pressing randomly, there will be only noise. Without the Crane Wing Formation, it is equivalent to the difficulty of playing a pleasant tune without the music score. With the Crane Wing Formation, it is equivalent to being able to follow the script. But in general, you still need to be able to play the piano/have a tacit understanding of performing combos.

But it is precisely because Black Thorn knows that the Crane Wing Formation has so many restrictions. The difficulty of performing it is so high...so once the potential is successfully unleashed, the power will be terrifying!

Take Lao Hu's three-hit combo of Throwing Technique + Dry Earth, Heaven and Earth Return + (normal attack during the stun period) + Throwing Throwing Technique. Theoretically, the power is around 600 points, but excluding the defense reduction hurt. After equipment damage reduction, skill offset and other damage, only 287 points of Black Thorn's physical strength can actually be deducted. However, after activating the Crane Wing Formation and completing the final combo, the 31% damage caused to the enemy regardless of the opponent's defense is calculated based on the 700 points of theoretical damage. This additional damage can almost catch up with the actual damage!

So the Black Thorn Monster, who knew it was powerful, screamed, taking advantage of the fact that his combo count had not reached the top and he still had less than half of his physical strength. Suddenly he used a D-level golden item: the Blessing of Light. This D-level golden prop was obtained in a very unpopular world of demon swordsmen (see the note below for details). The effect is that within eight seconds, the surface of the body will be covered by a sacred white light shield with a radius of five meters, making it immune to all physical damage and mental damage. This is equivalent to me being allowed to hit you and not you being allowed to hit me after using it... and it will also reduce the movement speed of enemies within fifty meters by 70% for 15 seconds!

The ambitious Black Thorn originally planned to use this item unexpectedly at the critical moment of the battle for the top ten, but at this time he didn't care so much in order to survive. You can still survive if you use it, but if you don't use it, you have no chance!

After activating the Blessing of Light prop, Lin Yinxiu and Lao Hu who were fighting around Black Thorn were all bounced away. As far as ten meters. Although the two of them stabilized their bodies in the air, maintained their balance, and landed steadily, neither was harmed. But the Crane Wing Formation's continuous skills also came to an abrupt end.

Under the protection of the light, even after the continuous skills derived from the Crane Wing Formation were terminated, a blood-red number of 217 popped up on Black Thorn's head, indicating that the additional damage added to the continuous skills was 217 points. But in fact, the corresponding physical strength of Black Thorn was not deducted, which was equivalent to the light mask bearing the damage.

However, Lin Yinxiu and Lao Hu had long expected that something might happen, so when they attacked, most of them were aimed at Heiji's legs. After Heiji used the blessing of light, he only felt like stars in front of his eyes. I had a cold, severe pain in the joints of my legs, and even my movement speed was greatly affected. After taking a few breaths, I limped away.

Black Thorn's escape speed was not very fast, but after Fang Lin and his party were slowed down by 70%, they would never be able to catch up with him. But the eight seconds of light's blessing passed quickly. As the milky white shield on the Blessing of Light disappeared, Fang Lin sighed and covered his ears...

A violent explosion occurred at Black Thorn's feet... With only half of his physical strength, how could he withstand the crazy bombing of Xin Yuan's mental power bomb? It wasn't that he was so unlucky that he had to run into the minefield, but that Fang Lin had already arranged his position, and the frightened Black Thorn had no choice at all. He could either run to an empty place or deliver the sheep to his door. Enter the tiger's mouth.

The number one general under the Fool died just like that. It can even be said that his death was quite aggrieved. He did not even use his strongest attack skills from beginning to end. He was struggling on the verge of death. In the end, he still could not escape Fang Lin's strategizing. After the violent explosion, a key fell down in the midst of fireworks. Fang Lin caught it without waiting for the key to land. He sighed again, with worry in his eyes.

"Now, the battle has just begun."

The meaning of Fang Lin's words is very clear. After killing the number one general under the Fool, Black Thorn, his group also moved from the dark to the light. Although the Fool let his reincarnations fight on their own, he should also be arranging "bait" everywhere to lure Fang Lin and his group to attract him to take action! Once Fang Lin dares to swallow the bait, he, the "hunter" who patrols everywhere, will speed up and come!

Since I have swallowed the "fat bait" of Blackthorn that the Fool has laid at great expense, even though the Wheat Plains is in chaos, the Fool will definitely be able to track my whereabouts! Before escaping back to Stromgarde, the Fool, who has been planning for a long time, will definitely catch up and launch a terrible attack!

"The Fool should simulate my way of thinking to make judgments at this time... Passive escape is very irrational behavior." Fang Lin said calmly: "The most correct approach I can think of at the moment is: we stay where we are and send a signal to the evil Grand Duke Army, asking them to come to our aid. This way, we can have time to rest and recover our physical strength calmly, and we have the advantage of people and terrain, as well as external aid. We can also wait for the enemy to tire out. The disadvantage is that you don't know when the enemy will launch an attack."

"Obviously, the Fool can definitely think of this." Lin Yinxiu frowned.

"The only variables we can use are the newly added Nana and Marse." Fang Lin smiled and said, "Both of them are unknown to the Fool. If used properly, they can give the Fool a headache. Now it's time for us to use the first variable! The Fool could never have imagined that we have such a huge monster that can take us to move at high speed and at the same time we can get enough rest! At the same time, it can consume the physical strength of the pursuers!"
