Chapter 128

Xiaoyi is a battle pet and cannot be ridden directly like a mount. However, if the system doesn't allow it, it should be possible to capture it, right?

When it comes to playing tricks, Xia Mo feels that although he cannot outsmart the authorities in big ways, he can always find loopholes in these insignificant details.

At her request, Xiaoyi inserted his claws into the small hole in the equipment on the back of her neck, flapped his wings, and flew high into the sky with both the bird and the person.

Looking down from above, the somewhat desolate city of Noto is in full view.

Because of its geographical location, even if fights or robberies occurred in the city, the guards would just yawn and watch from the side, with no intention of going up to stop them.

In such a chaotic city, she didn't want to walk on the ground.

It's not that she was afraid of being targeted. In fact, with her current strength, anyone who dared to target her would only be asking for trouble. The main reason was that she was focused on completing the mission and really didn't want to waste time on these meaningless fights.

You can get experience and gold coins in the arena PK, but you can't get anything by starting a personal fight here. She was so stupid that she started a fight.

Therefore, it is more convenient to travel by air, which can avoid the disputes on the ground and ensure the speed. It is estimated that it will take more than 10 minutes to cross the city of Noto and reach the mission destination [Yegansai County].

Just as she was thinking, suddenly, a sharp arrow pierced through the air and whizzed towards her face!

Xia Mo's eyes narrowed and he quickly turned his head to the side.

The arrow grazed her cheek without causing any harm to her, but it hit one of Xiaoyi's claws. Xiaoyi screamed in pain.

Xia Mo's eyebrows instantly turned cold. She looked down with a calm gaze, and saw a male hunter on the rooftop of an abandoned building staring at her with a smirk on his face, his face full of provocation.

"Xiao Yi, bear with it for a while. I will heal you after we land."

Not wanting to get entangled with these brainless players, Xia Mo just glanced at him coldly and asked Xiaoyi to speed up.

Xiaoyi obediently flapped her wings and began to speed up, but dense arrows shot up from another direction, seemingly leaving them no chance to escape.

The arrows were like a dragnet, shooting indiscriminately at her and the small wings above her.

Xiaoyi's claws were instantly pierced by several arrows, and his wings were also hit one after another.

Xia Mo also failed to avoid the sneak attack and was pierced in the lower abdomen by an arrow.

【If you are attacked, you can launch a counterattack! 】

What made Xia Mo sneer was that, not only was she hit by an arrow, but the arrow was also poisonous, which caused her to continue losing about 100-150 points of blood per second in addition to the basic damage.

She has a lot of health, so she is not afraid of losing more than 100 points of health. However, facing such rampant provocation, if she doesn't do something, it would be too unfair to her ranking on the mainland.

With a sneer, she gave the order in a calm voice, "Dive left 30 degrees, approach the gray rooftop and drop me off."

Chirp~ After receiving the order, Xiaoyi endured the pain and put her down. When it was only seven or eight meters away from the rooftop, it released its claws. Xia Mo covered her injured abdomen and jumped straight down.

To prevent inertia from causing her to fall forward, she deliberately rolled forward on the ground and then stabilized herself.

She pulled out the arrow from her body at the same time. Although the pain was minimized, she still felt a slight tearing pain at the wound when the arrow was pulled out.

She pulled out a bandage and quickly bandaged the wound.

After bandaging the wound, he stepped on the edge of the rooftop and jumped to the opposite building without hesitation.

Just now she could see clearly from the sky that the buildings here were almost all abandoned, no one lived there, and the distance between the buildings was very narrow. As long as she had good agility and jumping ability, she could easily jump over them.

This was Xia Mo's idea.

The two male hunters who had just ambushed her were on the rooftop next door. Unless they could teleport, they would never be able to escape!

She drank the red medicine while chasing towards the stairs.

On the other side, one of the hunters' faces changed when he found that she was not shot to the ground, but landed on the rooftop next door which was very close to him.

"Damn, she and her pet can even dodge AOE skills! What a devil!"

"No, she just got lucky." His companion narrowed his eyes and said, "Arthur, don't forget that the players here are all from Alman."

The word "Alman Star" instantly made the boy named Arthur grin.

"That's right. I subconsciously thought of them as star citizens of the same level as us. You're right, Edie. How could they, low-class star pariahs, be so strong? That match was just an accident. I think Dad was just trying to get close to them to boost his own support."

"Yes, so what are your plans now, Arthur? I see that female player rushing towards us." Edie touched the bow in her hand and asked calmly.

Arthur snorted, then pointed downstairs, then pointed at himself, and gave a sly smile.

Edie nodded: "Okay, then I'll go and lead her."

After saying that, he took a step forward and rushed out, making full use of his hunter's agility.

Arthur quickly went into the nearby stairwell and rushed downstairs.

When Xia Mo jumped onto the opposite rooftop, she saw that one of the hunters had disappeared, and the hunter who attacked her for the second time was coming towards her.

She habitually looked up at her opponent's ID, but there was no name displayed above the latter's head, instead there were only three gray question marks.

She felt a little strange and frowned slightly.

If a player hides their ID, nothing will be displayed above their head, that is, it will be empty.

But three question marks... To be honest, this is the first time she has encountered such a situation.

Isn't it a player? Is it an NPC?

No, it's impossible. Thinking back to the actions and expressions of the two people when they attacked me just now, they were too subjective. This expression is simply not something an NPC can do.

Although players have never stopped praising how intelligent the NPCs in "Protoss" are, in the final analysis, there is still a bunch of data behind them, which has just changed from low-level data to high-level data. In essence, they are still paper people and can never surpass human performance.

Xia Mo was sure that the two hunters were definitely players, but for some reason, their IDs could not be displayed normally and could only be replaced by question marks.

Although she was guessing in her heart, Xia Mo did not stop. Facing the male hunter opposite, she turned sideways, tilted her head, and avoided several arrows at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.

Edie was stunned for a moment.

This female player was so agile that she managed to avoid his attacks every time.

He immediately moved to the side and shot a few more arrows at her. After that, he turned around quickly and rushed into the corridor.

In order to avoid his arrow, Xia Mo was forced to hide to the side. By the time she had dodged, the other party had already escaped downstairs.

After hurting her and her pet, he still wanted to escape?

Xia Mo frowned and followed after him.

Instead of taking the stairs, she grabbed the handrail and flipped outward, like a whirlwind, drawing a sharp circle in the air and landing steadily on a row of steps below.

As soon as she landed, she immediately saw the male hunter running into the empty floor in front of her.

She immediately activated her icy blood to speed herself up. Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, she stepped on the supporting column next to her and jumped!

A row of skills exploded with a rumble!

Damn! Her attack was so powerful! Edie gritted her teeth and quickly rolled to the side, almost having her health bar blown away by that series of skills.

After dodging, he didn't hesitate and tried to get up by supporting himself on the ground.

A pair of hands reached out to him. He raised his head and pretended to draw his bow, but he found it was his companion Arthur. He breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "Arthur, kill her quickly!"

Her attack was too fierce, and he was worried that the battle would drag on too long and he and Arthur would not be able to continue to hold out.

"good."

The person in front of him raised his lips and smiled, pulling him up from the ground.

The next second, puff!

A small knife stabbed straight into his heart.

"Arthur you...! No... you are not Arthur!"

He was shocked as to why Arthur would attack him. Two seconds later, he suddenly realized that the ID above the other person's head showed something wrong and he opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"You are that female star officer!!!"

Xia Mo turned off the deception props and revealed his true identity with a sneer: "It's me, but unfortunately, it's too late."

The white knife went in and the red knife came out. Edie opened her mouth wide, but without saying a word, she fell to the ground as if her bones had been pulled out.

As soon as he fell, his body disappeared immediately.

But strangely, there was no white light around his body.

Players who play "Protoss" know that there are two ways to resurrect after the character dies. One is the simplest way to resurrect on the spot, just click the one-button resurrection next to it; the other is to return to the city stone and resurrect in the resurrection hall of the city to which you are bound.

There are two options. No matter which one you choose, a layer of white light will first cover the corpse.

However, this male hunter did not.

He simply disappeared.

Coincidentally, behind her, the hunter named Arthur suddenly appeared from mid-air, the string in his hand was pulled to its full length, and the arrow was ready to be fired!

"How dare you impersonate me and kill someone! Go to hell!"

With a ferocious face, a long arrow flew out from between his fingers!

However, it was directly blocked by Xia Mo's ice body protection. The moment it was blocked, Xia Mo emerged from beside the ice and inserted the knife into the opponent's throat with lightning speed!

Probably because he didn't expect that she, who was a long-range fighter, would actually engage in close combat, Arthur was shocked and filled with indescribable fear. He covered his throat, struggled, and fell into a pool of blood.

The stabbing in his throat didn't kill him immediately, and a small part of his health bar was still hanging above his head. Xia Mo was about to go up and finish him off, but the next second, he saw him disappear silently like the hunter before.

This time the person was not dead yet, but he disappeared.

Xia Mo looked down at the blood at his feet and suddenly thought of a possibility. Perhaps, they were not players from the Pergas continent.

*

The continent of Vazetilan.

"Damn! The feeling of being on the verge of death is so fucking uncomfortable. This game is too realistic!"

The bow and arrow were thrown on the grass. Arthur touched his throat which had just been pierced and felt a chill on his back.

Too quick to act...

Even when facing hunters like him and Edie, she, a ranged magician, was not at a disadvantage at all. She even pinned them down and left them no chance to fight back!

Arthur had only experienced this feeling once when he was fighting with a special star beast on a deserted planet. That creature was fast and quick to react, and it almost took his life several times. In the end, if Edie had not brought a team to rescue him, he would have died.

The feeling of surviving the disaster was not pleasant. Arthur kept stroking his neck, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt that woman was.

Edie narrowed her eyes and looked at him: "Why, you're scared before the person dies?"

"No, no... I'm not scared at all." Arthur put his hand down and answered calmly.

Edie smiled softly and didn't expose his accusation. Instead, she walked over to the bow he had thrown away, picked it up, and handed it to him: "You are a hunter, and the bow is your weapon. How can you throw away your weapon when you are going to the battlefield?"

Arthur paused, then took the bow sullenly: "Got it."

As the two were talking, several players wearing different equipment suddenly came over.

"How about it? Let's go to the lower-level planet's territory and take a sneak peek. Did you find anything?"

Arthur rolled his eyes. "What a discovery! I met a stalker witch who killed Edie and nearly killed me."

"What? Edie was killed by her? What's her profession?" A female pastor stood up, her face filled with surprise.

Arthur said unhappily, "...Star Officer."

Ah, this...

Everyone was silent.

Although they have only been in the game for a week and are still exploring many areas, they still have a good idea of ​​what each profession is good at.

Xingguan is a ranged magician with single-target skills, but more of them are AOE (group attacks). Some of his skills also have control effects, such as [Star Destruction], which has a 30% chance of freezing the target for 3 seconds, and [Starry Sky], which has a 40% chance of reducing the target's speed to half, and the effect also lasts for 3 seconds.

All in all, this is a ranged profession that is suitable for team-building, but it is still a long way off when it comes to PVP.

Hunters are different. Although the official defines this profession as long-range, hunters can actually engage in close combat. They have melee skills, although not many, but definitely stronger than star officials.

And when it comes to agility and reflexes, how come the Hunters are so much better, yet they both... lost to a Star Officer in a 2v1? Is it because their skills are too poor, or is the opponent's control too terrible?
