Devil's Bible

This event can be considered a semi-fixed event.

As long as someone somewhere shouts, 'Herlanth, your father is dead.'

This event will then be triggered.

Of course, the initiator will definitely be drawn into this event and become a member of Helans's team.

It's difficult to exit the entire situation directly because the canyon is completely surrounded by enemies.

If you can escape the canyon and exit, you've pretty much cleared this event.

In such cases, only those with exceptional swordsmanship would typically choose to initiate such an event.

Nems is now involved in this event.

He felt it was very strange.

The events and the Silver City are in a strange relative state.

“In essence, an event is also a kind of ‘refresher’,” Nemes said, offering his professional assessment after entering the event.

Events are refreshed, and so are people.

The difference is that an event is a single thing being refreshed, while a person is the entire person being refreshed.

"So what is the essence of this refresh?" Nemus could sense that during the refresh process, the source matter was changing, and thoughts were being conceived within it.

However, no further details were revealed.

Clearly, it is difficult to discern the essence of the refresh mechanism from these ordinary events.

Nemes put those thoughts aside and began to focus on the events at hand.

Upon entering, Nems found that he and his companions were in a low cave.

The so-called cave is actually a concave space.

In the small space, a horse lay on its side, riddled with arrows.

A man was squatting next to a horse, butchering it. The horse's blood had already been collected, but some was still spilled on the sand. The strong, fishy smell permeated the air, and anyone with a weak stomach would probably vomit immediately.

But this is their food for the next few days.

Nemus recalled the intelligence: if he went to help process the horse meat at this time, he could obtain resource cards such as [Horse Meat], [Horse Hide], and [Horse Tail].

If one were to deviate even slightly from this low, recessed cave at this time, one would be shot by arrows.

If you manage to dodge, you'll have a chance to obtain the one-star skill card [Dodge] and the resource card [Arrow].

Of course, the more likely scenario is that he was killed by a hail of swords.

At this moment, there are enemy archers on both sides above the canyon.

On this narrow road in the canyon, enemies blocked both the front and the back.

The enemy's objective is now very simple—to surround and kill them.

They were hiding in this cave, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it was also extremely difficult to get out.

Their food and water are limited. If they are besieged for a period of time, they will lose their fighting ability, and then it will be easier for the outsiders to deal with them as they wish.

"We must break through!" said a wounded man.

The canyon is several tens of meters long, and they are currently stuck in the middle, making it difficult to move forward or backward.

“We need an opportunity.” At that moment, Helans, who was cutting horse meat, laid the meat out flat and hung it on a rock to the side.

“Use the existing supplies to hold out for the next few days, and then wait for them to make a mistake…” Helans turned to look at everyone: “I promise here that anyone who can help me live to inherit the title will be rewarded.”

"I will never forget anyone."

Helans stepped in and stabilized the situation.

At this point, according to the guide, you can do this: say to Helans, "Helans, I will do my best to assist you, but unfortunately my swordsmanship is not strong enough..."

Basically, it's something like, "I really want to help, but I just don't have the ability."

Once revealed, it can secure support from Helans or his companions in advance, roughly equivalent to a two-star card.

For example, in the area of ​​swordsmanship, Helans teaches a sword technique called "Wind Slash," which is a defensive and counter-attacking technique.

It can strike first and then strike later, cutting off the enemy's attack. 【Wind Slash】

【★★】

[Type: Skill Enhancement, Belief Enhancement]

[Usage Requirements: Swordsmanship skills and willpower must meet the required standards]

[After drawing this card, you can load it into your inventory and set it to preset. When attacked, Wind Slash will activate, cutting off the enemy's attack. If your willpower is high enough, it can even cut off spells.]

[Restriction: You must have a sword in your hand and an opening to strike.]

【Origin: Death Valley, Helans】

This card is quite good; it's a rare defensive sword technique that allows you to immediately detect incoming arrows and strike first to cut them in half.

This way, you can avoid getting hurt.

If the enemy uses melee attacks, then you can use the force of the broken weapon to attack the enemy in return.

Upon seeing this, Nems nodded and stepped forward.

Helans looked at Nemes, waiting for Nemes to speak.

"Herlans, I really want to help you, but your swordsmanship is too poor. How about I teach you?"

"Okay, I'll teach you now... Huh?!" As an NPC, Helans habitually uttered his fixed lines, but suddenly realized what he was doing.

He couldn't help but look at the others, trying to prove that he had misheard.

He, Helans, the master swordsman!
Having traveled all the way here, how many people in the whole world can compare with his swordsmanship?

Why didn't those people dare to launch a full-scale attack?

Part of the reason was their fear of his swordsmanship.

Before he could react, Helans was pulled aside by Nemes to begin learning swordsmanship.

Half a day later, Helans, somewhat bewildered, heard Nemus say, "It's barely passable. You can practice on your own now."

Then he found himself abandoned by Nemes.

“Yes, teacher,” Helans said somewhat belatedly, then gripped the sword in his hand.

Suddenly, I felt that the sword in my hand was different.

Meanwhile, the rest of his team members were being held back by Nems.

"I also know a little about archery, witchcraft, and alchemy. You can come and learn from me."

Another half day passed.

On both sides of the canyon and on the mountain peaks, some people are patiently waiting for their shift to change.

Their message was to surround and kill Helans.

In their initial encounter, Helans and his companions' horses were shot dead by them.

In addition, some team members were injured.

In this desolate canyon with nothing to offer, Helans and his companions wouldn't last long.

"They're doomed!" Someone stared at the faint light in the canyon, his hand slightly outstretched, as if he were about to extinguish it completely, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope for Helans and the others.

Before he could react, an arrow shot out from the canyon.

Then a figure wielding a sword rushed out and unleashed a burst of sword energy.

The intense sword energy grew brighter and brighter before his eyes.

At this moment, Helans and his companions felt that waiting for an opportunity to break out was completely unnecessary.

They were enhanced and didn't have to wait at all.

And so it is.

That night, they slaughtered their way through the entire Death Valley.

Nemus, looking at the cards in his hand such as [Sword Technique Flying Star] and [Wind Slash], also left the canyon. (End of Chapter)
