Chapter 359 Sword Trial

Nothing has ever been able to sustain the power of the totem until this red copper dagger appeared.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Zhuo began to choose stab, chop, and block.

On the swinging red copper dagger, the totem power, like a flame, would leave afterimages due to rapid movement.

After possessing the power of the totem, the swing of the Zhuo force did not cause the red copper dagger to bend, which made Diwu Xuan feel relieved.

"You, come and fight me."

Zhuo pointed at a team warrior. He wanted to test how the red copper dagger would work in actual combat.

Fighting is a daily routine for the warriors of the fighting team. Even the captains will participate in actual combat during daily training, so this team member was not nervous about being singled out.

Instead, he was a little excited because he could fight against this extraordinary-looking red copper dagger.

"Swish."

The warrior pulled out the stone knife from his waist. The blade was about one meter long, much longer than the red copper dagger, but there was no totem power on it.

"You attack and I defend, and then we switch positions."

Zhuo said, raising his left hand slightly forward, with the right dagger resting on his left arm.

This is the posture he often uses when defending. On weekdays, the stone spear is long enough, but today he changed to a red copper broken arm, and only the tip of the sword rests on his arm, which makes him very uncomfortable.

"Wait a minute."

Diwu Xuan mobilized the Totem Fire to attract attention and temporarily stopped the competition between the two.

Everyone didn't understand why, but they still waited obediently.

Diwu Xuan directly controlled the Totem Fire to collect broken ore from the ground and started refining again.

With the experience from the last time, the refining speed was much faster this time.

When the ore became liquid, Diwu Xuan did not stretch it, but carefully controlled the force to make it into a turtle shell shape - this is a flat and round shield.

In the end, Diwu Xuan even humanely made two handles on the back of the shield, one to hold the owner's forearm, and one to hold with the palm of the hand.

"The copper dagger is too short and too dangerous in close combat. It would be much better to equip it with a shield and become a sword and shield warrior."

The Fifth Xuan wrote this paragraph on the thick mist, and everyone understood.

The copper dagger is only about thirty centimeters long. It is more accurate to say that it is a dagger than a dagger.

When using this weapon to fight against the enemy with weapons such as stone knives or stone spears that are more than one meter long, the user's disadvantage will be too obvious as long as the opponent opens the distance.

However, after having a shield, it is different. The shield can increase the user's defense, making it easier to withstand the enemy's pressure and fight cautiously.

Once the distance exceeds a certain critical point, using a short copper dagger is more free than using a long weapon.

The shield was made by the Fifth Xuan for the user to cross the critical point.

Zhuo's fighting ability was recognized to become the captain. He was quite good at using longbow and longspear. He had also been a sword and shield man. Although he was not the most proficient, he had no problem using it.

After taking over the heavy copper shield, Zhuo moved his body to adapt. His

center of gravity was lowered, the shield in his left hand was tilted in front of him, and the dagger in his right hand was propped up and placed on the shield. He still used the usual starting posture of using the longspear. He was preparing to use the spear routine for the short sword. At

this time, there was no special and specific school of individual combat. Everyone fought according to their own comfortable posture, so almost everyone's strength was different.

The Fifth Xuan also tried to change, but later found that it was meaningless, mainly because this era had totem power, and sometimes the force was not only muscle, but also totem power.

Totem power did not respect human mechanics at all. In this case, the routine became meaningless.

The instinctive habits accumulated by these warriors in fighting against all things in nature may be more effective than the tactics summarized in later generations.

After all, the battles in later generations were between people, while in this world, people had to fight wild boars, bears, saber-toothed tigers and other ferocious beasts. The variety of enemies made all the fixed moves seem a bit restrained, so the Fifth Xuan gave up.

"Come."

Zhuo, who had taken a ready stance, knocked the copper shield in his hand with his copper dagger, and said to the warrior amid the sound of the door.

The warrior nodded and chopped directly with the long sword in his hand.

There was nothing fancy about his movements, and the whole movement had two cores: speed and strength.

All the fancy things were redundant in this era.

The saber-toothed tiger would not dodge because of your knife flower, and the fangs of the wild boar would not change because of your fake moves.

Facing the warrior's slash, Zhuo raised his shield to meet it.

This is a smart way to play. If he waited in place, the power of the stone knife would become more and more sufficient, but he went forward, which was equivalent to cutting off the power of the stone knife.

Not only that, it also helped him get close.

Once it gets between the elbows and armpits, a 30-centimeter-long copper dagger is much more useful than a one-meter-long stone knife.

The former can attack at will, while the latter has no room to turn around.

"Dang..."

With a muffled sound, stone foam burst out from the stone knife, but it did not break, and the totem power on the shield seemed to be chopped apart, spreading to the left and right, and then wrapped around the copper shield again.

A knife mark was left on the copper shield, and the mark was very deep, about halfway through.

After Zhuo pushed forward with the shield to shake off the stone knife, his right arm stabbed diagonally, heading straight for the warrior's throat, and finally stopped in front of his Adam's apple.

"You are careless, you will die like this, have you forgotten Shi's teachings?"

Zhuo was a little dissatisfied with the performance of this warrior.

Before the stone was invented, warriors would attack with all their might every time. But since the method of controlling totem power appeared, leaving room for change of tactics at critical moments has become a warrior's instinct, but this warrior did not do it today.

"The totem power on the shield is attacking me. I have some strength left, but that power prevents me from using it."

The warrior explained aggrievedly.

"The power of Tai Chi?"

Zhuo retracted the copper dagger that was pointing at the warrior's throat and asked.

Tai Chi power is the name of a property of the fire totem power. This power has a strong inertia and can distort the enemy's power.

Before, because spears and stone knives could not transmit totem power, this characteristic could not be manifested. It was only useful when the warrior fought with bare hands.

However, now that copper can transmit power, this ability will be fully demonstrated.

"I blamed you wrongly. It's my fault."

Zhuo apologized immediately. After the warrior nodded, he looked at the copper shield in his hand again.

The scars on the shield were clear, and he swung it vigorously twice without delaying the use of the shield.

"It penetrated halfway, and this shield can withstand two attacks at most. The third attack will definitely break it."

He said this to a group of witches and totems, as a warrior's evaluation of the weapon.

The shields of the Fire Tribe today are mostly made of thick wooden boards, wrapped with a lot of animal skins, and are very resistant to attacks during battles.

In comparison, the copper shield is more extraordinary and has more variations, but its durability is too poor.

The latter is resistant and strong, but it cannot transmit the power of the totem and lacks variation.

If a warrior is allowed to choose between these two shields, it is best to have both, first using the copper shield and then the sturdy shield, but this possibility is unlikely.

If it is a choice between the two, most people will choose the latter.

For a warrior, fancy abilities are not important. What is important is strength, durability, and being reliable at critical moments.

Zhuo took a step forward and picked up the stone knife in the warrior's hand, looking at it carefully.

"The blade is blunt, but the blade is intact. The shield has a good ability to resist damage."

After summarizing, Zhuo waved his hand and threw away the shield, leaving only the red copper dagger in his hand.

"Switch the knife, and try again."

The Fire Tribe warriors always have two knives, because weapons will inevitably break in battle.

But two long knives are inconvenient to carry, so most of them have short knives on their backs, which are about the same length as the red copper dagger.

"Switch to a long knife."

Looking at the short knife in the warrior's hand, Zhuo said dissatisfiedly. It's

not that there are no opportunities to face daggers during a fight, but the attacks of long swords are more wild and fierce. If a warrior is allowed to use a dagger, wouldn't it be a short fight? The meaning is different.

With Zhuo's words, someone immediately brought a stone knife. The warrior moved twice to find the balance of the knife, and nodded to Zhuo.

"Come." Zhuo

said without further words.

The warrior chopped again, and Zhuo blocked with the red copper dagger.

"Snap."

With a crisp sound, the dagger did not break, but a small piece of the long sword broke, but the dagger showed a clear bend.

This weapon is bent again.

"Are you coming again?"

the warrior asked.

"You can fight."

Zhuo glanced at the red copper dagger in his hand, nodded and said.

Although the dagger was bent, it did not break or shatter, and it was clear that it could still fight.

"Pah, pah, pah..."

The warrior launched a series of attacks, and the two weapons collided, bending the copper dagger.

But Zhuo turned the dagger from time to time during the fight to evenly distribute the force on the weapon. So, although the dagger was bent, it still maintained the shape of a sword.

However, the stone knife was severely damaged in the repeated clashes and became like saw teeth.

The two stopped fighting, and the warrior knocked the stone knife to the ground.

"Bang, pah..."

The stone knife shattered and fell on the mineral ground with a crisp sound.

"It's very resilient, but not hard enough."

Zhuo said, looking at the red copper broken arm in his hand.

"Throw them into the fire, I'll refine them again, and you can try to attack actively."

The fifth Xuan wrote the words, and then Zhuo threw the shield and dagger into the totem fire.

The two rolled in the totem fire for a while, and reappeared after a while, turning into swords and shields again.

This time Zhuo took the initiative to attack, and the warrior changed to a long sword.

"Be careful."

Zhuo said, raised his shield and rushed forward, and directly hit him.

The warrior chopped with all his strength, and his body was deflected by the power of the shield, and the long stone knife was raised backwards.

Zhuo jumped up suddenly with his feet on the ground, holding the red copper dagger in his right hand, and chopped the stone knife with all his strength.

"Snap."

With a crisp sound, the stone knife broke directly, and the upper half of the blade fell to the ground with a sound.

Everyone looked at Zhuo in surprise, and they didn't expect that the destructive power of the red copper dagger was so strong.

It seems that this dagger is more suitable for warriors than the stone knife.

Zhuo, who cut off the stone knife, didn't say anything at the first time, but picked up the red copper dagger and touched it carefully.
