As a top player, Black Cat is of course aware of the duration of each weapon skill after it is released. She uses the scimitar because it has the shortest duration of skill scimitar, while the greatsword has the longest duration of 3 seconds. Don't underestimate these 3 seconds. You must know that during these 3 seconds, the player is completely defenseless. If caught by other monsters, it will be a death sentence.
However, facing the attack of the Dead Tree Elite, Fang Zheng did something that Black Cat had never thought of.
He simply let go of his weapon and jumped back, actually avoiding the attack of the Dead Tree Elite!
“Is this even possible?!”
Seeing this scene, Black Cat was completely stunned.
Total stealth games are different from ordinary online games. Players can throw away their weapons, but almost no one will do this. As mentioned before, in this game, players do not have professions. They gain and use skills by improving their weapon proficiency. If they throw away their weapons, it means that they cannot attack the enemy or use various skills.
But on the other hand, when putting away the weapon, the player's speed will increase significantly, after all, the weapon also affects the player's forward speed. For example, if a weapon like a greatsword is equipped in the hand, the player's running speed will be much slower than that of a player holding a straight sword, a short sword, or a scimitar.
But Black Cat didn't expect that someone would use this method to avoid attacks, especially when facing a silver elite!
Isn’t he afraid of something happening?
"call!!!"
The attack of the Dead Wood Elite missed, and it raised its hand again. At this moment, the black cat saw Fang Zheng suddenly take a step forward, then picked up the big sword stuck in the ground again and chopped down hard at the Dead Wood Elite!
"Bang!!"
This time, as Fang Zheng chopped down with his sword, Black Cat saw that the dead wood elite suddenly froze, and then made a sound like breaking glass. At the same time, a purple, incomplete shield symbol appeared on its body.
The defense was broken!
The next moment, the dead tree elite's entire body suddenly stopped moving crookedly as if it had run out of power. Then Fang Zheng raised his sword again and chopped down hard at the dead tree elite.
At the same time, Restia and Esther also moved!
As Fang Zheng's weapons, their cooperation with Fang Zheng was seamless. The long sword in Esther's hand and Restia's rapier instantly glowed, and together with Fang Zheng's broadsword, they chopped down the body of the Dead Tree Elite!
“Swish!!”
Since the defense of the monster will be reduced to the lowest level after the defense is broken, the player's attack damage can also be maximized. With the combined efforts of Fang Zheng, Esther and Restia, the health of the dead tree elite was instantly reduced by one-fifth. After the three of them succeeded in their first attack, they did not attack again, but quickly retreated.
"Why?"
At this moment, Black Cat suddenly heard a voice coming from beside her. She turned around and found that the girl named Asuna had come to her side at some point and was looking at the battle in front of her with confusion.
"What why?"
If it were in the real world, Kuroneko probably wouldn't even say a word to Asuna, after all, she was a middle school girl who didn't like communicating with people. But this was a game, Kuroneko's domain, so she was naturally more confident than before.
"Why don't they continue the attack?"
Looking at the actions of Fang Zheng and the others, Asuna was puzzled. She saw clearly that Fang Zheng and the other two had just combined their strength to knock off one-fifth of the health of the Withered Tree Elite with one strike. It was obvious that one more strike would inflict more damage to the opponent, and the Withered Tree Elite's stiffness time had not yet passed. Why were Fang Zheng and the others in such a hurry to retreat?
However, the next moment, Asuna understood the reason without Kuroneko's answer.
“Swish!!!”
Just as Fang Zheng and the other two were retreating, the ground around the Dead Tree Elite suddenly cracked, and then several roots shot out from the ground, lashing out to the side like whips!
"The Deadwood Elite actually has this skill?"
Seeing this, Asuna and Black Cat were both shocked. They had never fought against the Withered Wood Elite, but they had fought against the Withered Wood Tree Man and were very familiar with the Withered Wood Tree Man's skills. However, the Withered Wood Tree Man's attack process was very monotonous. First, he waved his left hand, then waved his right hand, and then clasped his fists to attack the ground. They did not expect that this Withered Wood Elite actually possessed such skills!
Although I don't know the attack strength of this skill, but looking at the several roots spreading out densely in all directions and lashing like whips, I know that once I get trapped in it, it might really be Game Over!
“——!!”
At this moment, the stiffness of the Dead Tree Elite also ended. It roared, clenched its hands into fists, raised them high, and smashed them hard at Fang Zheng and others.
"not good!!"
Seeing this, Black Cat and Asuna's hearts lifted up. They had never seen the Dead Tree Elite's roots entangle them, but they had seen the Dead Tree Man's move of smashing the ground. This was a range skill. With one punch, all players within a few meters in front would be hurt, unable to defend themselves, and the damage was extremely high!
And now, Fang Zheng and the other two are within its attack range. If it strikes again, the three of them will definitely be hit!
But the next moment, Fang Zheng made a move that no one expected.
Just as the Withered Wood Elite raised his fist and prepared to strike down, a ray of light suddenly flashed from the greatsword in his hand, and then Fang Zheng threw the greatsword directly. The greatsword immediately rushed forward with a whistling sound and pierced heavily into the Withered Wood Elite's body, interrupting the Withered Wood Elite's actions again. At the same time, Fang Zheng leaped up and jumped in front of the Withered Wood Elite.
Then he grabbed the big sword and chopped down at the dead tree elite in front of him again!
“Crack!!”
Accompanied by the sound of shattering, the Witherwood Elite broke the shield again!
This series of smooth battles left Asuna, Kuroneko and the others stunned and completely speechless for a moment. It was not until a moment later that Aoba sighed with a trembling voice.
"Good, very impressive...Mr. Fang Zheng..."
"snort……"
Black Cat obviously agreed with Aoba's opinion, but as a middle school otaku, her behavior would certainly not be as normal as Aoba. Black Cat stretched out a hand to block her eyes, made a weird and middle school gesture, and spoke at the same time.
"I've known for a long time that he's no ordinary man. Now it seems that this man's soul does possess extraordinary power! It seems that I came to the right place this time. This is the entanglement of my fate with him!"
Although Black Cat showed her middle school and madness as always, her slightly trembling voice showed that she was obviously not as calm as she appeared.
As for Asuna, she was completely stunned.
Although she has never teamed up with others, she has seen many players fight. Most of the players' performances are very embarrassing, and sometimes even "obscene". This is normal. They are not making a movie, nor are they doing it for artistic effects. Everyone is trying their best.
In order to survive, they don't care whether they roll over or do a backflip to avoid monster attacks.
But at the moment, this man's performance made Asuna feel that she couldn't take her eyes off him. His battle made Asuna feel like she was watching a blockbuster movie, and Fang Zheng was the protagonist, beating the enemies with all kinds of cool and handsome postures...
"roar--!!"
At this moment, suddenly, a roar interrupted Asuna's thoughts. She looked up and was surprised to see that the ground around her had cracked at some point, and then three normal-sized tree men crawled out of it!
At this time, Fang Zheng also sent a message.
"Everyone, if you have nothing to do, come over and help pull the monsters?"
"Let's go!!"
The previous battle had already made Black Cat's blood boil. When she saw the message, she naturally picked up her weapon and rushed over without hesitation. Black Cat didn't dare to fight the Deadwood Elite, but she was still confident in dealing with the Deadwood Treeman!
After hearing Black Cat's call, Aoba hurriedly took out his weapon and rushed over.
“…”
Looking at the backs of the two people, Asuna hesitated for a moment, as if she was struggling with something, but soon, she made up her mind, picked up the rapier in her hand and rushed into the battlefield.
