…
"Battle Round 1: Decision Time Remaining (179 seconds)..."
…
While there is still plenty of time to make a decision.
Roger carefully read the supplementary rules that temporarily appeared in his field of vision.
A moment later.
He has a new understanding of the Great Secret Realm or high-dimensional game.
Only the gods can always come up with something new for him——
Through these supplementary rules.
Roger learned.
At least in Taoyuan Mountain.
When two parties of similar strength and both willing to fight meet, the "battle mode" will be automatically triggered.
This is the turn-based system currently being displayed.
The triggering threshold for 'turn-based' is actually not low.
Whenever there is a big gap in strength between the two sides.
The settlement will be completed directly in the form of "real-time battle".
…
For example, Roger’s short career as a grass carp in Tianhu Lake.
He was ambushed and killed instantly by a monster that was much stronger than him.
I didn't enter combat mode at that time.
…
For example, Youpeng attacked the stick insect before.
Because Youpeng is faster.
Ordinary stick insects have little room for resistance.
So he was killed in one blow.
…
Another example is the previous conflict between Youpeng and the "Changle Five Immortals".
Roger attacked them though.
But the latter seemed to have no intention of fighting.
Therefore, a "real-time calculation" scene of people running away was created.
In fact.
In Roger's current vision.
There is also an "Escape" option on the lower left.
If he chooses to escape now.
Then the battle will end immediately.
Its actual manifestation will probably be similar to the escape of the Five Immortals of Changle from Lei Ze.
…
But there is no way Roger would choose to escape now!
This thing will deduct a lot of reputation.
And as the future overlord of Lei Ze.
Reputation is something Youpeng must protect with his life!
But this also secretly reminded Roger.
in the subsequent development process.
He must choose his opponents more carefully.
Otherwise once the war starts.
The consequences of running away or being defeated were unacceptable to him!
…
"Since it's a turn-based system, then the gameplay should be value-first..."
"In addition, the right to attack first should also be important."
Fortunately.
Tianpeng has a very high priority.
Even in terrain that is advantageous to the opponent.
Roger can also master the first-attack stance.
So he explored this retro yet novel combat mechanism.
After careful consideration, he began his own operation!
on the data bar.
…
"Record: Young Tianpeng used 'Wind Thunder Flash' on the stick insect monster."
…
"It's a success!"
…
"Stick Insect Monster's HP -38%"
…
"Your specialty 'Wind and Thunder Flash' has entered the cooldown round (it can only be put into use again after at least 3 combat rounds)"
…
"Tip: Wind and Thunder Flash provides you with a little extra initiative point."
…
"You can use one more normal attack. Do you want to execute it?"
…
"Record: The young Tianpeng used 'Normal Attack' on the stick insect monster."
…
"Stick Insect Monster's HP -17% (Currently 45%)"
…
"Round 2 begins! You enter a defensive stance."
…
"Special terrain determination, your defense effect is halved..."
…
"Record: The stick insect monster used a 'normal attack' on you."
…
"The attack missed!"
…
Accompanied by a big Miss appearing on Roger's body.
The green stick insect suddenly shrank back.
But before entering Roger's battle round.
It still has room for one feat.
…
"Record: Stick insect monster used 'Fossil to Mud'"
…
"The terrain is changing..."
…
In a small nest.
A lot of mud collapsed from above.
The mud beneath the nest also turned into a paste.
Both sides were affected to varying degrees.
Considering that "Wind and Thunder Flash" is still on cooldown.
Roger tried using a normal attack.
The next moment.
The young Tianpeng in the picture attacks again.
He flapped his wings and flew over.
Trying to teach the enemy a lesson with its claws.
But something happened that Roger didn't expect!
In a flash.
The stick insect monster actually sank deeply into the quagmire formed by "fossils turning into mud".
Youpeng not only came up empty-handed.
When retreating.
He was also sprayed with green liquid by an enemy that suddenly appeared!
…
"Defense Wheel: Stick Insect's defensive stance takes effect..."
…
"Record: Your attack missed!"
…
"The stick insect triggered 'Attack of Opportunity' and sprayed venom at you..."
…
" Warning : Your health -27%"
…
"Is there such an operation?"
Roger was slightly startled.
This stick insect monster is indeed an opponent that is equally matched with himself.
After a successful opportunity attack.
Then he re-entered the enemy's battle round.
And on the defense side.
Tianpeng was affected by the terrain.
There is no good defense.
Therefore, the opponent's venom attack was successful again!
After two rounds of this.
His health is less than 50% left!
Fortunately, the stick insect monster's health is not much left.
…
"I can't hide it anymore..."
Seeing this.
Roger knew he couldn't save his expertise.
Face the dying enemy.
He decisively chose "Other".
Because Wind and Thunder Flash has not yet been removed from the cooling wheel.
So this time.
He chose "Soul-stealing"!
…
"Record: Your satiety -10%"
…
"It's a success!"
…
"You killed the stick insect monster!"
…
"You obtained a small amount of Sha and the 'Stick Insect Corpse'"
…
"You have gained control of the 'Strange Lair'"
…
"Your Lei Ze reputation +10"
…
…
Dense battle information flashed by.
It was as if the battle perspective viewed from outside the screen was pulled back to the young roc itself.
He lay wounded and gasping in the chaotic nest.
This was the first real battle he had fought since he was born.
Even though it was only a few short rounds.
But it's also a bit thrilling.
The enemy looked unimpressive.
I didn't expect it to be so hard to win!
"It's because of the terrain!"
"I already had the first move, but I still felt very uncomfortable..."
After reflecting on the not-so-long battle just now.
Roger let out a long breath.
Then I kept an eye on it.
It seems that terrain factors play a very important role in the battle in the Taoyuan Mountain Secret Realm.
This will be my focus in the future.
But anyway.
He ultimately won the battle.
The young Peng not only obtained a strange nest.
He also caught his first prey in his life.
Although its appearance is a bit ugly.
But in the face of precarious satiety.
Roger let go of his psychological baggage.
I resolutely chose "eating"!
…
"Record: You ate the stick insect monster's corpse."
…
"Your satiety has been greatly increased (118%)"
…
It's obvious.
This corpse is quite nutritious.
It actually made the hungry Youpeng eat too much.
This is undoubtedly good news for Roger.
Get it all done.
Only then did he feel like taking stock of the battle in his nest.
"Huh?"
"Even a demon-transformed spirit can be rewarded with a killing order?"
Flipping through the records on the data column.
Roger suddenly noticed the group of flashing clues.
Because there was too much information just scrolled through.
If he hadn't carefully checked each item.
This thing was almost buried in the battle information settlement column!
…
"Kill Order: You have acquired the specialty of the stick insect monster - adapt to local conditions"
…
"Adapt to local conditions: In different environments, you can always get at least one defensive ability from the following list -
…
1. Cave (fossils turn into mud/mud turns into stone)
…
2. Lakes (quietly diving/turbulent water surface)
…
3. Jungle (Stalker/Lookout/Pilfer)
…
4. Flat ground (stumbling/pretending to fall/rolling over)
…」
…
"It is detected that you are playing a 'high-dimensional game'. Please select the target of the killing order.
…
1. Hidden hero.
…
2. Young Tianpeng
…
This was the first time Roger encountered the problem of deciding who would own the killing order!
But it will be very quick.
He reacted--
The Killing Order is of course a unique ability of the Hidden Hero Module.
However, the characters in Taoyuan Mountain have the opportunity to be brought out of the Great Secret Realm and exist in the form of Dharma images and attached to the Xiayin module for a long time.
And the Dharma.
To put it simply, it is a part of the Xiayin module.
All this happened naturally.
However, the emergence of this set of information also fully demonstrates the unusualness of the "high-dimensional game".
Gradually.
Roger began to doubt the original intention of the gods in designing these games.
Maybe it's not just for entertainment.
…
Return to God.
The decision itself was not difficult for Roger.
His original body is already strong enough.
There is no need for the defensive capabilities provided by "adapting to local conditions".
The latter description is obviously more suitable for the secret realm where the "Defense Wheel" exists.
So he decisively threw it to the young Tianpeng.
In addition to the expertise of "adapting to local conditions".
This battle also allowed Youpeng to gain a lot of good things.
…
For example, there is a handful of "ginseng" deep in the nest.
This thing can not only increase satiety.
Can also be used outside of combat.
Can restore health to a small extent.
…
Another example is the "Jet Gourd" guarded by a stick insect monster.
Young Peng destroyed the nest barrier easily.
Naturally, he got this magic weapon.
And after getting this magic weapon.
The data column prompts 'Do you want to bind?'.
For similar considerations as the killing order.
Roger directly asked Youpeng to bind this magic weapon.
After binding is completed.
There are two more options in the upper right corner of his vision:
…
"My magic weapon."
…
「Simulated battle」.
…
The former describes in detail the specific functions of the jet hoist.
The latter provides a simulated battle list.
A "Use Magic Weapon" option has been added below.
Although the effect of this jet gourd seems average.
But for a character like Youpeng who has just been born and urgently needs to improve his combat effectiveness.
The acquisition and binding of this magic weapon still gave Roger peace of mind.
"At least you won't be attacked by an 'opportunity' when using magic weapons."
Thinking so.
Roger quickly counted the remaining loot.
And then left the nest.
…
10 minutes later.
The eastern part of the black jade bamboo forest.
The thunderstorm gradually stopped.
A bird of prey less than 3 meters long is flapping its wings.
Next second.
His figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The young roc's sharp wings cut off the lower part of the small bamboo forest like a steel knife.
In the breeze.
The bamboos kept falling down.
…
"Record: You used Wind and Thunder Flash!"
…
"You have obtained the Black Jade Bamboo (999+)"
…
"Mo Yuzhu, done!"
Do all this.
Roger flapped his wings and landed on the bamboo forest.
In the grass not far away.
A group of dark shadows are stealthily emerging.
Roger shouted:
"come over!"
"Help me pass the message!"
"Tell the Geshi clan to come over and move the things!"
Hearing this.
Those shadows immediately sank into the ground obediently.
on the data bar.
…
"You have successfully intimidated and subjugated a second group of spirits that had been alienated..."
…
"You have gained the loyalty of the 'herb pickers'!"
…
"You sense that they are rushing to the Sky Eagle's Nest..."
…
"Your Lei Ze reputation +1+1+1..."
…
See here.
Roger yawned with satisfaction.
He discovered these monsters called "Medicine Pickers" just after he killed the stick insect monster.
I guess they were frightened by the aftermath of the battle.
Same as Geshi.
Caiyaozi was once Tianpeng's subordinate.
Under Roger's coercion and inducement.
These monsters, which looked somewhat similar to the ginseng spirit, rejoined his army.
Compared to Ge Shi.
The herb pickers, who are about the same size as the fungus people, have weaker combat power.
The strongest is only 3 membranes.
The weak ones are generally around 1 membrane.
It’s even worse than the grass carp Roger had in his previous life.
But this spirit is good at taking care of "mountain gardens".
He is also good at finding rare and exotic fruits.
Can also play the role of a mouthpiece.
It is considered a subordinate with high cost performance.
…
What’s even more interesting is.
The herb collector is a spirit with a wide range of social connections.
They will spread what they see and hear.
This will be of great help in improving Youpeng's reputation.
This is not.
Notify Ge Shi to come over and move the bamboo.
Roger's "Razer Reputation" increased by another 20 points.
Therefore, it broke through the 50-point threshold.
Very quickly.
The benefits of reputation are reflected.
In addition to "Ge Shi" and "Cai Yao Zi".
Two more groups of monsters that once established their own factions came to join them.
They are "Fengpo" and "Shunhou" respectively.
…
"Wind Spirit: Wind-element spirits, generally with strength above 4 membranes, rare in number, and swift in action."
…
"The Queen of Bamboo Shoots: Ishihara spirits, generally with strengths above 3 membranes, numerous, and slow in movement."
…
In this way.
Roger now had four more wind spirits with wind-shaped human faces and more than 20 sturdy bamboo queens under his command.
Add kudzu stone and medicinal herbs.
Any enemy who wants to challenge his majesty.
After entering combat mode.
The other party has to face a group of people!
certainly.
At present, the loyalty of these younger brothers is not high.
Once a fight occurs.
Nine times out of ten, the herb pickers will run away.
Ge Shi was not good at fighting.
Fengpo and Sunhou may be passive and lazy.
He is still responsible for the main output.
This shows.
Roger has just taken one step on the road to becoming the overlord of Lei Ze.
…
Order the newly recruited men to escort the Geshi clan back to the Tianpeng nest.
Roger himself wandered around the nest again.
Among them, the black jade bamboo forest is the key target of investigation.
Because Elder Ge Shi once mentioned it.
There are signs of evil shadows active in the western part of the bamboo forest.
So he probed the surrounding area very carefully.
After half a day of observation.
Roger indeed sensed a powerful force.
But he did not act rashly.
Instead, he quietly returned to the Tianpeng's nest.
…
evening.
On the platform.
"There is at least one monster above the 3rd level lurking in the eastern part of the bamboo forest!"
"I am not strong enough right now!"
Looking at the task of "getting bigger quickly".
Roger couldn't help but look up.
At this moment, the sky over Lei Ze was covered with dark clouds.
The sound of muffled thunder was faint.
The thunder has not yet arrived.
A sudden rain has already arrived.
He quietly waited for his opportunity.
In the deduction of "Wind and Thunder Order".
A severe thunderstorm will break out here soon.
That is a good opportunity for Youpeng to improve his strength!
Boom!
Muffled thunder began to sound.
The white lightning pierced the night sky like a sharp knife.
The wind is getting stronger.
It scraped his wings like a razor blade.
Under the stimulation of severe pain.
He couldn't help but spread his wings.
Roger did not flap his wings.
But the strong wind had already sent him up to the clouds!
…
"Wind and Thunder Order: You begin your spirit training..."
…
"It is detected that your spirit talent is far beyond the standard. Do you want to choose automatic training?"
…
"Can it also be practiced automatically?"
Roger was slightly stunned.
He immediately chose to be lazy without saying a word.
certainly.
Roger didn't intend to waste the few hours that Youpeng spent practicing in the wind and rain.
So he quickly clicked on the option in the upper left corner.
…
"Prompt: Automatic training is in progress, do you want to switch to the second identity?"
…
"Switching identities..."
…
"You have obtained the template: Mantis Queen!"
…
"Outside the realm, in an age of chaos that is unknown, you became the leader of the Mantis clan..."
…
"The starting mission is being adapted..."
…
"As the extremely powerful Mantis Queen.
You should have the most prominent position in the Outer Realm.
But today.
Your daughter and your lover betrayed you at the same time!"
…
"You have obtained the starting mission: Deserted by Friends!"
…
The picture began to shake violently.
Ear.
It was a contemptuous and lazy voice:
"What's wrong?"
"Isn't it good for An Xin to be eaten by me?"
"my mom??"
…
