Chapter 42: Fear Comes From Lack Of Firepower
Chapter 42 Fear comes from insufficient firepower
It has been a while since I entered this dungeon world, and I have gone through several battles, big and small.
In addition to the natural reward of leveling up, Gu Mo also gained some game-style items and props, such as Yu Shenshui, Royal Arrow Amulet, and of course the most classic monster materials… In short, some are quite useful. Some are pretty useless.
Among them, the ghost’s soul core is in the middle of the two, and it is difficult to classify it by repeatedly jumping.
It’s useless, in fact, each soul core is equal to a skill badge, although it is a limited type of monster skill or sorcery, and it can only be used indirectly by itself if it is equipped on the skill slot of the guardian spirit. But let’s say they are useful…emmmm, Gu Mo basically can’t use those skills at the moment.
He has collected four soul cores of Hungry Ghost, Ordinary Demon, Ape Ghost, and Horse-headed Ghost. Of course, many of them are duplicates, so adding the current outlandish soldier soul core, he has five soul cores in hand. .
Looking at the soul core of the foreign soldiers in his hand, Gu Mo has a mind. If he can use it, it is naturally the best. He really lacks useful skills right now.
Not to mention the horse-headed ghost, it is one of the most powerful ghosts he has ever encountered. The soul core skill that he got by rubbing his thigh is the “big slaughter” that makes him extremely envious. Think about it. The horse-headed ghost’s 40-meter serrated sword is grasped by a monster of its size, and it is a recreated blow with all its strength to slash in a wide area…
Large range, AOE, damage is absolutely explosive.
It’s a pity that after Gu Mo attached the horse head ghost core to his fox, he failed to reproduce this powerful ghost strike once. Otherwise, even if he could only use it once in a short period of time, his output The ability will get a qualitative leap.
There is no other reason, just that his blue bars are not enough, far from reaching the standard for releasing this blow.
The soul core of ordinary ghosts and ape ghosts can be used, but their attributes and effects are not very good, and because there is no special energy such as demon power, every time they use it, they will violently extract his physical strength and spirit as the price. There is no special advantage, and it is obviously not a good choice when it will cause serious consumption of energy.
Only the Hungry Ghost Core can be used temporarily. Summons a hungry Hungry Ghost to attack and bite the enemy frantically. While causing a certain amount of damage, it can absorb the life essence lost by the enemy and restore its own health to a certain extent…
is that the consumption is relatively small, but it is not enough to be used casually. Gu Mo can only use it when he judges that it is necessary, and it is impossible to regard it as a common skill.
At this time, the black-haired girl looked around, and then continued to walk towards the front of the corridor.
She turned a blind eye to Gu Mo’s actions, because she had long been used to some of the strange behaviors of this companion, such as washing her hands often, and always like to reach out and fan the air over the fallen corpse of the enemy. I don’t know if it was **** or not. The breath made him unbearable…
The mansion is very large and beautiful, and it is connected in all directions, covering an unusually huge area.
It’s just in Xiuchiyo’s induction that although there are some demons wandering in the mansion, the larger and more complex demonic energy is exuding farther away, and the number is relatively more… But in her induction, the distance and direction It has already exceeded the scope of the mansion, and has already entered the depths of the mountain.
So, is there actually room inside the mountain? Is it empty inside?
Hide Chiyo thought so, but the actions in her hands had no effect. She still followed her induction and went straight to the direction of the Lord of Ever Darkness, ready to take it step by step and solve this problem first.
She went around a lot, and she knew that her goal was there, but she couldn’t walk in a straight line. Yes, she has the patience to worry that someone won’t be able to hold on.
However, there are still physical benefits that are three points higher than the healthiest normal person, and the guardian spirit Nine Tails seems to be helping Gu Mo resist Chang An’s suppression. Only he can feel the warmth and heat radiating, he must be To a certain extent, it blocked the erosion of the mysterious demon energy and cold feeling of this black and white world.
In addition to taking a sip of Yu Shenshui from time to time… He persisted much longer than he imagined, at least he didn’t run out of energy before he found the Lord of Eternal Darkness.
Looking at the room in front, in the dim light environment, the black-haired girl’s rose-red eyes were not affected at all, and she could clearly see the monster’s true face.
It has a human body and is dressed in a dark samurai costume, but its neck is thin and long, circling like a snake, and its connected head seems to float in mid-air. It is sitting in the middle of the room so quietly, like a samurai. Just like meditating, the scene looks weird and inexplicable.
The head of the wheel.
A kind of demon with a flexible neck, some people associate them with Feitouman, but they are actually two different monsters.
This kind of monster is a bit special, because when their necks are not extended and their heads stick out like snakes, they look just like ordinary people. Not to mention that ordinary people can’t see it. Sometimes, even they themselves won’t realize that they are the head of a reel, and they really think that they are living like human beings.
There are different theories about the origin of this kind of ghost. Some say that it is a person who has mutated because of karma, and another that it is changed by a tragic and decaying corpse after being strangled. It is said that if there is always a strange experience like a soul going out of the body at night, then it may be It is a sign of turning into a reel head.
gestured to Gu Mo with his eyes, and Hidechiyo walked forward with a knife.
Gu Mo took two steps back from his heart, and opened the distance a little, mainly because he was very sensible and would not rush forward… As a jerk, you must have the consciousness of a jerk. , there is no need to grab the head and interfere with the performance of the boss.
Hide Chiyo’s actions were silent, but he was still just approaching the house, and before he walked in the door, the wheel head suddenly burst into trouble.
‘s long neck turned like lightning, and his head suddenly bit towards her, like a dormant cobra finally waiting for the prey to enter the attack range, and launched an offensive without hesitation!
The black-haired girl was expressionless, and there was no turbulence in her eyes as cold as autumn water. This is Chang An, the other party’s domain. It’s not easy to hide from this monster’s sense and quietly approach to launch a surprise attack. To be honest, from the moment the two of them stepped into Chang An, the other party must have noticed it. arrive.
She raised the knife to block, and the human head just happened to bite on her saber, making a rattling sound, and it seemed to burst out a few sparks.
At the same time, the girl’s other hand also pulled out the short blade around her waist with a backhand, and slashed towards the long neck like lightning. Everything was smooth and natural as if it had been rehearsed in advance. You will always be able to instantly gain insight into the best tactics against monsters!
…
boom!
There was a bang, the fire flashed, and the pungent smell of gunpowder and gunpowder filled the air.
Throwing the matchlock gun in his hand, he looked at the screaming little hungry ghost in front of him, his stomach exploded, blood dripped from his intestines, the faint golden essence quickly turned into a gaseous state, and then diluted and evaporated into the air, Gu Mo tugged. Pulling the corner of his mouth, he stepped forward and cut off its head with a decisive knife.
When Axiu went to deal with the Lord of the Darkness, of course he wouldn’t just do it and watch it, but started to clean up those little fish monsters on the periphery of the battlefield. Now he is very handy in bullying the little hungry ghost, and he will never do it again. Will feel how difficult this kind of thing is, like it is now.
On the other hand, enemies like ordinary ghosts can be dealt with relatively smoothly without trying desperately when they are one-on-one and prepared.
After all, there are spells in hand, weapons are enchanted, and the restraint attribute is targeted to be full…
As long as you don’t have a ghost brushing directly beside you, so that you don’t have a little distance or time, you can of course beat the short hand more easily.
In this way, although he felt that his growth was not great, it was actually okay. Ordinary people can only beat Hungry Ghosts a month ago, and they can only beat Hungry Ghosts a month later. The progress is definitely not that fast – just the physical changes brought about by the few points he added means that others will be steadfast and steady. It takes more than half a year for the most ideal situation to exercise muscle to enhance physical fitness.
The bright light on the knife flickered, without any blood stains, but he still waved it habitually, and then looked at the arquebus in the other hand.
The power is the same, whether it is range or lethality, this can be seen from the relatively low efficiency of black powder in this era, the recoil force is not that great, and his 12-point power can be seen with one-handed shooting… Of course, at this distance If you hit the nail on the head, you can still kill the little hungry ghost.
Just now, even if he didn’t make up his sword, this little thing would die soon, but it was the difference between being killed directly and dying because of **** dots.
But the shortcomings are still too obvious, Gu Mo shook his head, and he missed the muskets in the game that can shoot continuously without reloading… This feels really bad. As he sighed, he took out the bullet and reloaded it.
Looking around, he didn’t find any other target, and when he was about to turn around and go back, the big fox beside him suddenly reacted.
He raised his eyebrows, clenched the knife and gun in his hand, checked his remaining spells, and then moved a little closer in that direction, and soon heard some movement, it was in the room at the end of the corridor in front, vaguely There was a low sob.
It seemed that the woman was whimpering in a low voice. Because of fear or some effort to suppress herself, she did not dare to make a loud voice, but she couldn’t completely suppress it. It was soft and weak, and the voice itself was too soft and pleasant to hear. When people hear it, they have a desire to protect.
Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, then stared at the room.
The broken paper sliding door slumped and collapsed. It was pitch black inside, and the light was too dim to see what the scene was… The sobbing sound came from it, and the pressure was extremely low, and it was not particularly contrived. If you change to someone who has not seen the world very much, it may be easy to be confused.
However, Gu Mo, who has been influenced by various horror films of later generations, has too much experience in this. Even if the memories of those old films are from a long time ago, at least he has implanted some rules about the survival law of horror scenes. Strange cold knowledge of the class.
He stared in that direction, and slowly raised the arquebus he had just loaded to aim. He was about to let the big fox light the arquebus, but after thinking about it, he put it down again.
The room is so dark, and you can’t see it inside. You can’t see what’s going on just by listening to the sound. The power of the musket is not safe, and it’s still a point-to-point attack method. Gao… His shooting level is actually not very good, and he was laughed at when he was trained by Gen Laiguang.
Although there is an option of “Aim Assist” in “Settings”, but because the game settings cannot be changed during the mission, he can only stare at it.
So don’t bet on yourself being a hidden marksman now.
took out the gunpowder bomb, and after thinking for a while, he took out an incendiary oil can that exploded not long ago, and then held the gunpowder bomb and approached the big fox. The guardian spirit always understands the meaning of the host, and the tip of a big crimson furry tail that looks like a burning flame gently taps on the fuse on the gunpowder bomb.
Slight spiritual power consumption, illusory fire attribute power leaks from the spiritual world.
A bit of crimson fire appeared in reality, but it only concentrated a little and ignited the rope.
Gu Mo raised his hand and threw the dark Warring States grenade out. This prop made of black gunpowder and clay pots flew through a corridor that was not a short distance under his power, and smashed straight into the dark room… The soft and weak sobbing suddenly disappeared, and it seemed that the owner of the voice could not react and was interrupted.
In the dark room, a woman in a gorgeous kimono, with long hair hanging down to cover her face, who was making a lovely cry, widened her eyes and watched as she flew in, and then rolled around the room a few times. The dark thing that the match has been burned to the end.
In the next second, there was a loud bang, and the paper screen doors that were close by were torn to shreds in an instant!
The black gunpowder prepared by the secret technique of ninjutsu exerted a more terrifying explosive power than ordinary ones of the same kind. The sharp ceramic fragments were also sputtered in the explosion, giving a second wave of damage… The woman resented the pain She screamed and covered her face with her hands. The kimono on her body was damaged in many places, and a **** mist burst out!
But the explosion at this distance actually only suffered a little skin trauma.
Of course, it’s not over yet. In the next moment, another dark thing flew in with the heel of the explosion. The woman looked up resentfully, not knowing what trick she used, the thing was in the air. She was blown away in the middle.
A piece of viscous black oil was splashed everywhere… This is not a gunpowder bomb.
The roaring flames instantly lit up the room, and it was no longer as dark and dim as before. Gu Mo looked at a large snake with a woman’s upper body and a length of five or six meters, struggling frantically in the sea of fire, with a sharp and resentful cry from his mouth. , the fireball charm held in his hand is ready to be released at any time.
This was originally used to ignite the oil pot. If the power of the gunpowder bomb did not immediately ignite the oil pot behind him, he would also fly a spell to detonate it immediately.
Now, I can make up for the damage…
The corners of his eyes twitched as he watched the big snake crash out of the room, rushed out of the flames, and rushed towards him with his whole body burning, full of resentment and madness, Gu Mo scolded secretly, and decisively knocked out the fireball talisman.
Because it is a spell made by consuming one’s own energy and mind, it is aimed by the spirit and pulled by the mind, and it can be regarded as “auxiliary aiming”, so the fireball hit the snake girl’s head with a bang, but it couldn’t stop this because of the pain. And crazy serpent.
Gu Mo took a deep breath, he had expected it, and he directly pointed out—
“The decision is yours! Pickup… Nine Tails!”
It seemed that a hurricane suddenly blew in the narrow and closed corridor space, and the flames emerged in the gust of wind. As he felt his physical strength, spirit, etc., it seemed to be draining rapidly like a reservoir that had opened the gate. At the same time, the crimson Firefox also appeared beside him.
In the state that everyone can see, the spiritual power is manifested in the world, and the guardian spirit of the nine tails is cold and sharp in front of Gu Mo.
