People are collapsing, but the integrated strategy is launched

As mentioned before, there is no quantitative health value setting in the system's trial, nor is there any so-called missing monsters. Instead, the settings of life and shield values ​​are fed back to Xia Ling and her team members.

The result of this feedback is that the health and shield values ​​will proportionally increase Xia Ling and her team members' self-healing, physical fitness, physical recovery and armor strength, but every time a member is injured, the degree of collapse will also increase by an equal amount according to the severity of the injury.

This rule basically made Xia Ling say goodbye to the strategy of exchanging injuries for lives.

Exchange injury for life? Exchange a hammer, and after exchanging one, the country can be used as a carpet.

Therefore, Xia Ling's fighting style has always been to stay as safe as possible. It doesn't matter if he fights slowly, because there is plenty of time. In addition, he is fast and has enough mobility to slowly consume the enemy.

"Is that so?" Bronya tilted her head: "Although I don't quite understand what Sister Xia Ling means, Bronya will do it."

"Well, then let me talk about the battle plan."

Xia Ling opened the map on the detector and zoomed in on the map of the emergency combat node marked in red. On the right side of the map, the number and type of enemies in this node were marked.

"The most troublesome ones in this node are these crossbowmen and these three butchers holding axes."

"The former's cold arrows can easily increase our chances of getting hurt, while the latter's enhanced body poses a similar threat."

"So we need to deal with these crossbowmen first, right?" Bronya looked at Xia Ling.

"Yes, these nodes have a mechanism that will prioritize locking onto the first person who enters the alert range, so I need you to go in first to attract hatred, and then I will quickly kill these crossbowmen, and then pull the monsters away in batches to solve the problem."

"Bronya, I understand. It's just like playing a game, right? The only difference is that this time Bronya needs to be the main tank and hold the hatred." As a game expert, Bronya easily understood Xia Ling's idea.

"Well, what you need to pay attention to is to never be greedy for damage, just focus on controlling the heavy-armored bunny to defend, and try not to get hurt is the most important thing."

"Bronya understands."

After rubbing Bronya's little head, Xia Ling dodged a few times and came to the spot that she had observed long ago, then made a gesture to Bronya from a distance, indicating that she could "start the monster".

Bronya nodded, and the cannon in her hand fired three shells that had been accumulated for a long time. At the same time, the exoskeleton on her legs burst out with a powerful thrust, carrying Bronya directly into the settlement.

At this time, the heavily armored Bunny also appeared instantly from behind Bronya. The huge mechanical arm protected Bronya, and the other hand picked up a Syracuse thug holding a knife next to him and threw him directly into the crowd.

This is where the value of emergency operations is reflected. The thug suffered such a severe injury, but he slowly crawled up after a few seconds. Although he had no combat effectiveness for the time being, recovery was obviously only a matter of time.

On the other side, after seeing Bronya's sudden entry, Xia Ling also took action at almost the same time.

The street fighting environment in the settlement certainly limited Bronya's firepower suppression advantage, but it also limited the enemy's field of vision. In the blind spot of the thugs, a red knife shadow quietly passed through.

Relying on the experience of entering this node many times before, Xia Ling easily found the crossbowmen hiding on the rooftops and in the corners of the alleys.

When the crossbowman fired the first arrow and began to load the second one, Xia Ling's figure suddenly appeared behind him, and the crescent rose in her hand chopped down heavily on the back of the crossbowman's head.

However, the vitality of the crossbowman and others was far beyond Xia Ling's expectations. With a huge gap on his back where the bone was visible, the crossbowman managed to complete the reloading, and tremblingly activated the Originium skill, aiming the arrow at Xia Ling.

"Tsk, I am so good at assassinating someone, it would be very difficult for you not to die in front of me."

Xia Ling's figure blurred in an instant, and this time the angle of the sickle blade was from bottom to top. While slashing, it directly knocked the crossbow in the crossbowman's hand away.

The crossbowman, who had received severe injuries in front and back, was now completely silent.

Xia Ling flicked the liquid on the sickle blade backwards, evacuated the scene before being surrounded by several thugs, and rushed to the location of the next crossbowman.

"clang--"

The butcher's giant axe hit the heavily armored rabbit's arm armor heavily, causing a sound of metal clashing.

The huge force transmitted from her arm made Bronya unable to help but take a step back. The heavily armored bunny swept her arm and just forced the giant axe back, but the next attack was already in front of her.

Faced with the siege of multiple enemies, Bronya was able to remain at ease at first. However, when the other two slaughter veterans joined the battle, Bronya's situation became precarious.

Fortunately, Xia Ling had already dealt with the crossbowman by now.

With a dull gunshot, an experienced butcher paused with the axe he had raised high, then half-knelt on the ground. At this time, a bloody hole had been blown in his left leg by the bullet.

Bronya suddenly felt relieved, and she gathered her strength to control the Heavy-Armored Bunny's defense tightly.

After firing a few shots from a distance, Xia Ling did not continue to choose long-range harassment. Instead, he leaped over and aimed the Crescent Rose at the back and fired several shots. Using the recoil, he accelerated several times and rushed towards Bronya's position.

Just when he killed the crossbowman, inspired by a certain phenomenon on the crossbowman, Xia Ling thought of a new way to materialize the Honkai energy, and was planning to try it on these enemies.

Under Bronya's puzzled gaze, Xia Ling quickly approached, but did not use his high output advantage to clean up the weaker Syracuse thugs around him first, but went straight to a completely healthy slaughter veteran.

There are three veteran butchers on the field now. One is fighting with Bronya, and the other has been shot in the knee and temporarily lost his combat ability. It is not too dangerous for Bronya to face two veteran butchers at the same time.

Then Xia Ling’s purpose at this time is very clear, she has a way to directly get rid of a veteran butcher!

Chapter 25 If you mess with me, Xia Ling, you're like kicking cotton

As the distance got closer, Xia Ling started accelerating before the veteran butcher raised his axe to defend himself.

Compared to the ability to materialize Honkai energy, the acceleration talent actually consumes not much Honkai energy, but the physical fitness requirements are very high. Therefore, Xia Ling cannot keep the acceleration turned on for a long time, so the common use of acceleration has become to use explosive speed changes to seize the initiative.

However, the skill Xia Ling wants to use here is not acceleration.

A layer of faint red light has enveloped Xia Ling's Crescent Rose, which is a sign that the Honkai energy has attached to it.

It is a common practice to use Honkai energy to strengthen weapons.

With a flash of red light, before the axe was raised, Xia Ling had already arrived in front of the butcher's body, with the sickle blade raised, and the sharp blade deeply embedded in the butcher's body.

Such damage alone is definitely not enough to kill the enemy in one blow, but at this moment, the collapse energy attached to the surface of the sickle began to transform into a solid entity, and then began to spread wildly towards the soft body tissues around it.

Pulling out the sickle blade, the Honkai energy attached to the sickle blade had all disappeared. Shaking off the blood on the blade and putting it back on his waist, Xia Ling adhered to the principle of never looking back at the explosion, directly activated his talent, and disappeared from the battlefield again.

As for the old butcher behind him, a blood flower composed of sharp materialized Honkai energy spikes exploded from the wound on his chest, leaving a huge gap in his chest. At the same time, the splattered Honkai energy crystals also exploded automatically, knocking the thugs around him to the ground.

[Host, when did you learn this trick? I have no recollection of it.]

"It's a bit hellish to say it." Xia Ling touched his nose: "The inspiration for this move actually came from the Originium crystals I saw on the crossbowman just now, and then I thought of the Originium explosion of the Ore Disease patient before his death."

"Considering the visual effect of this thing is quite déjà vu, let's just call it Heart Blossoming."

[A former Prime Minister of the Far East: I have no objection. ]

As Xia Ling cleared out a large number of enemies with one strike, the pressure on Bronya was completely relieved. After a short rest, Xia Ling, who had slightly recovered his energy, used the same trick again, making another veteran butcher very happy.

At this point, Xia Ling and Bronya were completely out of danger. In just less than five minutes, they had completed the finishing touches and finishing work on the battlefield.

"Huh...it's finally over." Sitting on a broken wall, Xia Ling rubbed his sore arms, dangling his legs in the air, and let out a breath.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Xia Ling. I didn't expect that Sister Xia Ling is so powerful. Bronya, I am impressed." Bronya floated aside and handed the collected spoils to Xia Ling and gave her a thumbs up.

"It is only because of the bonus from the trial that I dare to use acceleration at such a high intensity..." Xia Ling muttered softly: "No matter how powerful I am in the trial, it is still fake."

"Let's see what the harvest is from this emergency." Xia Ling took the spoils handed over by Bronya and opened the system screen at the same time.

"Guard Recruitment Ticket, okay, useless, next one."

"Collection: Termination Agreement, Hope Increase 4, Restore 2 Life. It's a good thing, but it's of no use to me."

"Choose one from two cipher boards... huh?"

At this moment, the two cipher boards displayed on the light screen were all good things.

[Silence: Our maximum health will increase by 50% when fighting here.]

【Surprise: Transformed into a cunning merchant. 】

If Xia Ling had not obtained the Coded Plate Shaman before, she might have hesitated between the two for a while. However, since she already has a Shaman, the Shaman plus the silent dialogue can make shield guards appear at the three battle nodes on the third floor.

For Xia Ling, who is currently short of manpower, Shield Guard is an irresistible temptation.

Xia Ling decisively chose to remain silent on the cipher board. Her bad mood because the collection was useless was instantly swept away. She happily jumped down from the wall, turned on the detector, and began to identify the next path.

Yaya didn't understand why Xia Ling's mood was so up and down, and seemed to have several question marks in his head. He drove the exoskeleton to catch up quickly.

The next section of the journey is quite long. According to the map displayed by the detector, whether going up or down, the next nodes will be encountered unexpectedly. Since they are unexpected encounters, it is very likely that the event will be triggered just when entering the node range or when about to leave the node.

But the good news is that this time Xia Ling didn't feel anxious for too long.

The bad news is that Xia Ling feels that the current situation is even more unsettling for her.

Because as Xia Ling was moving forward, she suddenly heard a strange cry, as if something strange was sobbing in her ears.

Xia Ling couldn't help but shiver.

Even Bronya, who had a blank expression on her face, moved slightly closer to Xia Ling.

"Sister Xia Ling...what's that sound..."

"How do I know where this noise came from?" Xia Ling said viciously, "If I catch him, I will teach him a lesson!"

If we ignore the slightly trembling voice of Xia Ling when she said this, it must still be very convincing.

As Xia Ling continued to move forward, the sobbing not only did not stop, but instead seemed to be getting louder and louder.

Finally, Xia Ling saw the source of the crying.

A sobbing Pero.

Damn, it's the crying boy. Xia Ling felt that her blood pressure was a little high.

She really wanted to rush up and punch this crying guy twice.

But unfortunately, she didn't dare to do it, because she had too few people with her. This wasn't a game, and if she got knocked out, the worst that could happen was that she would miss a few monsters and get less of a collection.

If a fight breaks out, and the Tearful Boy hits her and Yaya with one punch each and starts to permanently control them, Xia Ling will not be able to cry at all.

Damn, if you mess with me, Xia Ling, you're like kicking cotton. Not only can I not beat you, I even have to come and comfort you.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the urge to punch him twice, Xia Ling asked with a smile: "Excuse me, are you lost?"

Of course, Xia Ling knew that her question would not be answered because this guy would just keep crying.

However, if there is no fight at this node, you only need to talk once to pass it, so Xia Ling decisively took Ya Ya and bypassed this annoying guy.

After passing this node, Xia Ling, feeling relaxed, went straight to the last node of the first level, the Guiyi Merchant.

"45 Originium Ingots is a huge sum of money. I hope you can give me something useful..."

Arriving at the familiar little shop in Cannot, Xia Ling didn't bother to say hello, and quickly looked at the goods in the cabinet.

[Support Mine Team], [Medical Recruitment Ticket], [Speedy Hands], [Hands of Snapping], [Remnant Crossbow - Classic Training], [Spectrum Analyzer], [Cold Seaweed], [Game Room Administrator Permission Card]

"Huh? You have a hand of super speed?" Xia Ling's eyes lit up.

According to the system and the tests in the previous trials, Xia Ling can be directly counted as any one of the professions including guard, sniper, and special forces, and can naturally enjoy the attack speed-increasing effect of the Speedy Hands.

Moreover, she and Bronya were fighting separately, so the restriction that the Speed ​​Hands could not be effective around teammates was meaningless to Xia Ling.

"Cannot, I'll buy these two!" Xia Ling took out the Speed ​​Hand and the Support Mine Set from the counter and waved her hand proudly: "Refresh the products."

Chapter 26: The Value of Speedy Hands

Cannot nodded and waved his sleeves, and the goods in the container were immediately replaced with another batch.

[Support Supply Station], [Vanguard Recruitment Ticket], [Auxiliary Recruitment Ticket], [Vision Invitation], [Healer - Skillful Hands], [Broken Halberd - Classic Training], [Broken Staff - Classic Training], [Living Rose]

"Tsk, there's nothing useful in this collection."

Xia Ling sighed, but did not choose to save the remaining Originium ingots. After all, the goal this time was the third floor, and the possibility of encountering a store again on the road was not small.

After bidding farewell to the strange merchant, Xia Ling successfully entered the second level.

In the backpack, the cipher board - Doubt has automatically appeared, and the second level of foresight prompt has also been refreshed on the detector.

[After clearing this level, you will get the cipher board: Arbor]

Compared with the first layer, the node distribution of the second layer is neither good nor bad. Because there is no emergency combat, Xia Ling finally chose the middle fork, which can pass through two combat nodes and one non-combat node.

Judging from the map, the first battle node seemed to be a testing ground. When getting closer, Xia Ling found that this node seemed to be easier.

Because the name of this node is Low-Altitude Maneuver, which is the node where the flying soldier automatically jumps into the pit.

According to the description of this node, the people in the node have no ill will towards you, and the battle only occurs because the person in charge enthusiastically invites you to conduct an exercise.

After entering the node, just as described in the game, the person in charge warmly entertained Xia Ling and Bronya and invited them to conduct an exercise.

To be precise, maybe a little too enthusiastic.

Xia Ling made an irresponsible guess that it was probably because Yaya's suspended exoskeleton and heavily armored rabbit were just a little too eye-catching.

In subsequent exercises, YaYa also successfully demonstrated the superior performance of the heavy-duty bunny.

While Xia Ling was still using the power of Hands of Speed ​​to scrape the Big Shield Brother, Bronya had already easily dealt with all the flying soldiers in the bottom lane.

Some of them were blown to pieces by Bronya's heavy artillery before they could even take off, and a few lucky ones who managed to take off were directly pulled down from the air by the heavy-armored rabbits and thrown into the pit.

After successfully completing the exercise, Xia Ling also gained the rewards of this node, but it was not from touching corpses, but a real reward.

Two Originium ingots, a medical recruitment ticket, and a little anti-interference index increased by friendly equipment maintenance from the person in charge.
