When Roddy
opened his eyes hard, the dazzling sunlight almost made him dizzy.
The hot pain in the chest seemed to be hit by a torch,
and his ears were buzzing, like the sequelae caused by a stick hitting his
head.
The pain hit him, and he couldn't help start groaning. The
immersive effect of the online game "Cracked Earth" is almost 100%,
even all the touch and pain can be simulated. But at this time Roddy felt
as if someone had adjusted the "pain" option in the game from a 30%
safety value to 100%. Because he has played "Cracked Earth" for
so long, he has never felt so painful.
Taking a deep breath, Roddy blinked and looked
habitually to both sides, but was surprised to find that this was not a
resurrection point at the rear military base cemetery three kilometers away
from the battlefield in the game.
Something is wrong ...
Raising his hand, he finds that the epic short bow in
his hand has no trace-even the gloves, wrists and arm suits known as "Hill’s
Guardship" are completely gone ...
His waist was empty, Rhode’s Dual Blades were not
there.
What happened?
He instantly broke into cold sweats. The holographic
simulation of the online game "Cracked Earth" was a soul-bound item.
Even if it was destroyed, identification verification was required. So in this
case, where did his valuable equipment go?
Wiping his chest, Roddy pumped in pain and the red
blood on his fingers told him that he was injured-trying to turn over, Roddy
wanted to confirm where he was resurrected ...
But
immediately, his mouth gaped with surprise.
In front of him was the endless grass field. The greenfield
fully covered his vision... He was lying on the top of a raised grassy
slope. Suddenly, Roddy found that this place is incomparably similar to
the Nashimia Great Prairie in his impression-but to think of it, it is
thousands of miles away from the "Slavic Mountain Valley
Battlefield"... How did he come here?
Just after waking up, Roddy's head seemed a little
unresponsive, but this doubt didn't last long, and he was interrupted by a loud
roar.
"Kill them!"
The orc’s unique voice made Rhodier's heart tremble
suddenly, and he instinctively lowered his body, holding back the pain and
looking to the other side.
The fragrant smell of green grass was mixed with blood,
and Roddy rubbed his eyes and moved his body. Then he saw the scene under the
grass slope. Not far from Roddy, there were actually several warhorses and
three human bodies lying on the grass!
But the one who just made a sound was a tall orc less
than thirty meters away from him-this guy is nearly two meters tall, the thickness of his arms was equal to a human thigh, the strong muscles seem to
contain infinite strength, his eyes are red and human soldiers were escaping in
the distance.
The orcs ...
Roddy's brow frowned immediately, and the slightly
confused feeling turned into extremely gloominess for an instant.
Ordinary people who have not been in the game of
"Cracked Earth" may not understand why Roddy is so angry at this
moment-but for a game otaku who has devoted all his energy to the game for
seven years, the two "orcs" represents the only word of the ‘enemy’.
The orcs in the "Cracked Earth" are really
unforgivable enemies to Roddy in the human camp. Seven years in the game,
damn animals invaded almost the entire kingdom, burned almost all towns Roddy
had spent time, but the key is, Roddy beloved girl, also died in the hands of
the orcs ...
Although he does not understand how he suddenly
appeared thousands of miles away in the grasslands but at the moment his only
thought was simple and straightforward: kill them.
Roddy's profession was a "ranger". He doesn't
need to mention the environmental survey skill. After taking a deep breath, he
immediately determined his current situation ... It seems that he should have
just been attacked by orcs-although this is in line with Logic, because he was
attacked by the orcs, but at the moment he understands that.
This orc is not that orc.
The orcs appearing in the Slavic Valley are the elite
of the Orc’s Empire "Hammer of Rohar". Their whole body was like a
steel fortress with high levels, health, and defenses. However, these orcs in-front
of him now looked shabby. They all have humble appearances, just crudely broken
trousers and they held no one or two-meter long fine steel hammer, but a thick
wooden stick inlaid with iron nails.
The seven human soldiers fleeing in the distance are
not gamers equipped with equipment, nor are they rebel warriors with standard
steel armor. Their simple leather armor and weaponry on their body make them
look like some lord’s private soldiers, the most inferior…
Investigating scouts?
"Shit!" Roddy cursed uncontrollably,
influenced by his roommates at this time and tried to look down at his current
equipment. He immediately sighed. He breathed out-this tattered leather armor
was exactly the same as the group of scouts in the distance ...
The scene before him passed and countless thoughts in
his mind, but in the end it there was only a single reasonable explanation that
was screened out: this is a game randomly triggered dungeon and he was involved
inexplicably, and needed to complete the instant dungeon quest goal with a
scout status.
However, he immediately found that he could not see the
amount of health displayed on the enemy's head, the skill bar cooling time bar
displayed by the auxiliary plug-in ... and no buff gain assistant, no combat
attitude assistant, and even no way to bring up the taskbar!
Is there a bug?
He froze a bit.
In simple terms, Roddy is an otaku ... but furthermore,
he is a kind of tech dweller who is often nicknamed "Save the World".
In "War God" series, he has the completed hardest
mode without any injury, "DJBO", Super Mario, Metal Gear 2 without
using rockets at all, YOU NAME IT!...
This kind of things are very ordinary if you decide to
do it, do your best.
His obsessive-compulsive personality was the fundamental reason why Roddy was able to become a first-line player in the
"Cracked Earth". At this time, after he confirmed his situation,
all thoughts had begun on the premise of "perfectly complete the quest
task"...
Go back to the city? Without completing the quest! For
Otaku, that's an insult!
Kill all the orcs and rescue as many scouts as
possible-according to his current identity and situation, Roddy quickly made
his own judgment on the "perfect" goal of this "quest"
right now ...
Exhaling slowly, he turned over to lie on his back,
stretch out his hands and tore off the cloth to simply bandage the chest wound,
then looked around and started thinking about the next action plan.
Without skill bar, weak body left leg knee wounded and
chest aching terribly. It seems to be because he fell from the horse right
away. He rubbed his forehead. It seemed that something was not right in his
heart, but the situation was urgent and his mind had just risen. Some doubts
were quickly forgotten by the oppression brought by the orcs.
Sweeping around, Roddy, a professional
"ranger" in the game, quickly determined the next plan-after
confirming that several orcs didn't pay attention to himself, he immediately
held his breath and crawled towards the nearest human body.
In the distance, not only five orcs were chasing the
deserters, there was also a slightly thinner orc holding a Bull Horn bow and
sniping the human soldiers who were running away.
“Shua!"
The movement of the bowstring when the bow is used by the
orc was not small. Roddy naturally knew that the orcs didn’t have the
habit of using shock-absorbing material for the bow or the bowstring. The
tactics of this group were just as crude as their looks. The only unique thing was perhaps that they had much more strength than humans.
The orc had just penetrated the scout's chest with an
arrow and blood splattered out. The huge power of the arrow made the scout's
body roll to the ground, leaving the other party dead without any nonsense ...
Watching this, Roddy, who hated the orcs to his bones,
immediately made his own decision.
He gritted his teeth to the nearest human corpse,
stretched out his hand, and tried to pull the short wooden bow that fell on the
ground. Roddy took the bow in his hand, he knew about this Border Bow craftsmanship,
these were usually mass-produced. The force the string could produce was only
so much that they can only sneak attack. If it is a battle, this toy-like
white-tier equipment simply does not have the needed lethality, sadly this was
battle.
In the game, although the attack power and weight are
closely related because of the additional attributes, compared to sixty-pound bow,
the damage of the high-order bow is dozens of times stronger than that of these
low-order bow. At this time, the lowest tier short wooden bow in his hand
was a complete novice outfit in Roddy's eyes.
But the simplicity of the weapon is not an excuse for
the failure of the mission-who is Roddy? One of the most powerful rangers
in "Cracked Soil”!.
For example... his archery is so powerful that it can
be corrected without system correction.
Hooking his foot over the quiver instead of carrying it
on his body, Roddy reached out to hold the eight arrows in it, holding the bow
in his left hand, arching his back slightly, and began to observe carefully all
the orcs around him.
The distance to the nearest orc was 27 meters, and the
distance between the five orcs ranged from 35 meters to 46 meters.
The remaining four humans were desperately escaping and
then another unlucky ghost was caught up by the orcs and chopped into meat
sauce.
The breeze blew through, gently blowing Roddy's
forehead hair.
He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the slightly
trembling grass on the ground, and corrected the effect of the wind direction
on the bow and arrow. The orc holding the horn bow 27 meters away didn't
notice the movement behind him and was trying to aim at the distance and focus
on it.
Taking a deep breath, Roddy suddenly got up—the left
hand propped the bow, the little finger and the ring finger clamped the seven
arrows at the same time, the right hand took the arrow to pull the bow, the
a string stretched to the full moon and aimed at the enemy smoothly.
You need to know that when a senior scout is shooting,
the series of steps of "drawing arrows, setting arrows, pulling bows,
aiming, and dropping" requires at least two seconds of preparation time.
For skilled otaku Roddy, after many years of ranger’s career, his set of
movements has almost become a physical instinct. From the moment he got up and
stood upright, the entire shooting movement was fully prepared. When the
enemy 27 meters away just shot his arrow, Roddy had already completed the last
step of the entire shooting-
Drop.
The bowstring sang, and the arrows came out.
"Shua!"
The long arrow shot in from the back of the neck and pierced the mouth. The orc tried
to shout and fell to the ground, covering his throat.
When the cold weapon killed, there was no exaggeration
of the hot weapon, so the five orcs in the distance did not notice what
happened behind them. What's even more incredible is that while the first
the orc was shot through his head and fell to the ground, Roddy's next arrow was
already shot!
At an interval of 1.2 seconds, the reason why Roddy
used his left hand to hold the bow and hold the arrow was entirely to use a
simple and practical "Rapid Fire" Archery Skill. Ordinary people
extended their right hand to get the arrow from the quiver behind them, but it
took too much time. Roddy used this method to save the step of taking the arrow
behind-so his rate of fire was far beyond the limit that ordinary people can
reach.
"Yeah!" The arrow nailed an orc's thigh,
causing him to immediately fall to the ground, mourning in pain.
Roddy understands that he is using an unfamiliar short
bow and the straightness, roundness, and evenness of his arrows cannot
guarantee unity. So to ensure the efficiency of shooting and
killing, facing the enemies running 37 meters away, Roddy who killed thousands
of orcs in the game, of course, knows how to kill each other at the least cost.
The sound of bowstrings struck one after another, and
the uninterrupted arrows were accurate to an outrageous level so that five
orcs lay down four without suspense, and the arrows moaned in their thighs
without exception.
