Gnolls can't practice martial arts

Chapter 1 Jackals Cannot Practice Martial Arts

In a vast mountain range, there is a simple business road passing through the pass, connecting the north and south of the mountain range.

It was almost dusk at this time, and there was a clanging sound somewhere in the commercial road, but it was a group of jackals besieging a group of humans.

This group of jackals was about 2 meters tall, and there were about 20 or [-] of them. They surrounded more than [-] humans and several carriages transporting supplies.

On the outermost side, there were more than a dozen jackals holding crossbow arrows, one after another, looking for an opportunity to fire, and there was a blue light flashing on the iron head of the arrows. It was obvious that these jackals had poisoned them somehow.

Except for the dozen or so jackals holding crossbows, most of the rest of the jackals were holding hatchets, short knives, occasionally one or two long steel swords, or some animal skins hanging on their bodies, barely considered leather armor.

It can be said that the equipment is very simple, the blades of the swords are notched, and there is even a jackal holding half of a long steel sword, and a small part of the front is gone.

Only the leading gnolls, who were taller and stronger, wore chain mail or shoulder armor, and their weapons were sharper and in good condition.

On the human side, out of twenty or so people, ten or so were wearing leather armor, seven or eight were wearing chain mail, and the leading white-haired tall warrior was wearing a whole piece of plate armor with a shiny long sword in his hand. , There is also a red ring on the index finger of his left hand.

The weapons in the hands of the rest were relatively well maintained, and there were five or six people holding crossbows and arrows to shoot at the Gnoll archer, with daggers and short knives pinned to their waists.

Another young man was holding a wooden stick. He looked like a mage. He didn't wear any armor. Occasionally, arrows were shot at him, but they hit a transparent shield and fell to the ground.

At this time, the two sides fought very fiercely, and more than a dozen gnolls had fallen on the ground. Those who were shot through the eyes by arrows, or whose necks were cut open and their hearts were stabbed in melee, fell to the ground.

On the human side, there were also four or five people who fell to the ground, most of them were hit by arrows, or were poisoned by arrows, and were chopped down by Jackal warriors when they were slow.

The most important thing is that the white-haired plate armor warrior is only wearing plate armor on his upper body, but his legs are skirt armor. An arrow is stuck in his calf, and the poison will spread and attack at any time.

A sturdy gnoll over 2 meters tall exerted all his strength, and was about to slash at the neck of the handicapped white-haired warrior with an axe. The white-haired warrior turned his body slightly and slashed at the gnoll's neck with his sword.

It turned out that the leading wolf man was wearing mail armor. If he was cut with a sword at the neck, half of his neck might be severed, and he must be dead. However, the white-haired warrior's figure was deflected, and there was a high probability that he could only be chopped on the plate armor by an axe. , Exchange injury for life.

However, the jackal stepped back to avoid the long sword, then smiled ferociously, and shouted at the jackal warrior beside him:
"Ahhh—you two go up and chop him up!!" [Gnoll language]

The two gnoll warriors charged forward and slashed, but the white-haired warrior obviously had little success in swordsmanship. He stabbed one gnoll to death instantly, and let the other gnoll's ax hit the plate armor sideways, then drew out his sword and stabbed it. To the heart of this gnoll.

However, the death of these two gnolls was just in line with the wishes of the leader wolves. When the first wolves fell, it would trip over the legs of the white-haired warrior who was already unable to move. At this moment, the leader wolves rushed forward. Lai slashed at the white-haired soldier's neck with all his strength, and at the same time, an arrow shot at the white-haired soldier from a shadow on a tree outside the encirclement, at a very tricky angle.

At this critical moment, the human mage waved his staff profusely with sweat:
"Acid Arrow!"

I saw a black light hitting the leading wolf man, and even the chain armor melted. The screaming wolf man still didn't stop, but he slowed down a little, so the white-haired warrior had the opportunity to raise the wolf man he pierced through. Human corpses, blocking the ax chopping, but also avoiding the sinister poisonous arrows.

When the blow was missed, the jackal kept screaming and tore off his chain mail, only to see his chest was bloody and bloody, but the leader jackal was of extraordinary physique and did not fall down.

I saw it roaring towards the side again:
"Ker, go on, the spells have run out!"

Kerr was the wolf man holding the broken sword. Seeing the death of two of his kind before him, although he was ignorant in his heart, he knew that he might die if he went up. Eyes, I'm afraid it will be hacked to death immediately if it doesn't go up.

Kerr howled violently, and rushed forward with a broken sword in his hand, slashing at the white-haired human warrior. However, the opponent had already prepared for it. Before it could get close, he slashed fiercely with his sword, and the two swords clashed. Kerr was directly hit. Flying a few meters away, under the tremendous force, even one of his own canine teeth was rebounded by the broken sword, Qi Gen interrupted, and fell unconscious on the ground in pain.

Although Kerr's death failed, the Gnoll side found another chance. Two arrows with tricky angles were shot from the shadow of the tree, and the ax of the leading Gnoll Warlord also struck.

The white-haired soldier turned around to dodge the two arrows, but he was unable to move. At this time, it was even more difficult to avoid the arrows. He was about to die, but he saw his left hand pointing towards the wolf warlord with a ferocious smile in front of him. finger, a red light shot out from the ring of his index finger, and shone on the Gnoll Warlord who couldn't dodge in time.

All of a sudden, the Gnoll Warlord seemed to be drained of all his strength in an instant, and his forward-slashing body fell to the ground, dying straight away!

The wolves were in a panic, but a series of angry howls came from the shadows on the tree:
"Roar! Hack them!"

The gnolls in the shadow of the tree seemed to be very commanding, and the group of gnolls who were about to be chaotic became violent again.

And the white-haired warrior took advantage of this time to forcibly take out the arrow on his calf, his figure flickered, and with his physique, he couldn't bear the arrow wound and the poison, so he shouted:

"Retreat! The goods are gone! Astor spell cover!" [Common Language]

"Intense flash!"

"Fosmise into mud!"

A burst of intense flashes erupted, as if a sun suddenly appeared on the young mage's staff!
Except for the well-prepared humans who happened to close their eyes, all the gnolls on the ground covered their eyes with a scream, and almost fell into a state of blindness, and then the mage staff named Astor shot another khaki magic aura , a large area of ​​Wolf man sank into the mud under their feet.

The two human beings left their hands free and protected the white-haired warrior with shields to prevent stabbing arrows from the tree. The white-haired warrior quickly bandaged the wound on his foot, and then retreated with the help of several people. At this time, the mage took out a scroll from his sleeve tear apart:

"Group lightness technique!"

As soon as all the human bodies were lightened, the white-haired warrior who was injured on his feet was able to support himself and run. More than a dozen people hacked to death several gnolls, broke through the weak point of the encirclement and left quickly.

Only seven or eight human corpses and a few carriages were left in place.

The remaining gnolls recovered from their short-term blindness and howled indiscriminately, as if they were celebrating their victory. A tall and thin gnoll also jumped down from the shadow on the tree:
"Take the body back, drive the carriage back!"

At this time, Liu Ke woke up in a burst of pain. He had just crossed over to the unconscious wolf man Kerr, and his soul also swallowed Kerr's soul. Wrong, he refers to himself with one, not just.

Enduring the pain of the soul stirring and the pain of just breaking his teeth, Liu Ke shook his head and 'looked' at the system panel that appeared in his mind. The bright white interface did not block his vision, and a mighty voice came from the bottom of his heart:
"Successfully activate the system! The character panel opens! You have 1 skill point to learn!"

Without any hesitation, Liu Ke said directly in his mind:

"Learn the skill "Tathagata Palm"!"

"Learning the skill "Tathagata Palm" takes about 1 hour and consumes 1 skill point. Do you want to start learning immediately?"

. . . . . .

"no!"

Liu Ke looked at the busy jackals around, and thought to himself:

If I study now, I will either be interrupted, or be taken for dinner by this group of beasts, and dragged back to be dismembered like other corpses. . .

So Liu Ke temporarily shut down the system, looked around the ground, ran to the carriage and picked up a crossbow bolt from a human corpse, put the arrow away, and then helped other jackals drive away the bad horses that were pulled by them. The bloody and brutal, panicked, slammed left and right, and knocked out the goods in a carriage. Liu Ke found that it turned out to be a dozen steel long swords wrapped in oilcloth, and quickly dropped the broken sword in his hand and snatched it. A long sword is held in hand.

From the memory of Kerner's soul, Liu Ke knew that the jackals were simply a poor group. They couldn't forge themselves, and they all relied on robbing other people's weapons and equipment. This time it seemed that they were lucky enough to snatch a batch of standard weapons.

The other gnolls also rushed forward, throwing away the incomplete weapons in their hands to change their outfits. Those who hadn't grabbed them were about to climb into the carriage when they heard the tall and thin gnoll who was hiding in the tree roar angrily:

"Don't grab your dog stuff! Transport it to the temporary camp first!"

The jackals became honest immediately, and slowly drove the bad horses away a few carriages. There were also some jackals dragging corpses, whether they were starving or cruel by nature, they dragged a corpse with one hand and tore it off with the other. Of course, it doesn't distinguish between human corpses and wolf man corpses. Anyway, all the immobile ones are meat.

The sky was getting dark, and the group of jackals went away and disappeared into the forest, leaving only blood and mud on the ground, with broken knives and broken swords.

. . . . . .

In a clearing in the forest, several extremely simple tents were set up, and there were five or six fires lit. Each fire was surrounded by about a dozen gnolls, and each of them was putting some pieces of meat on sticks to bake. Roasted, most of them are baked until they are half-baked, and they are bitten and swallowed.

And Liu Ke put a hare he killed on the way back and roasted it on the fire. He is now the body of the jackal Kerr and the soul of human Liu Ke. It is impossible to eat those human corpses, and he cannot accept Eat the corpses of other gnolls, so find a chance to hit a hare with a crossbow along the way.

Before the peeled hare was fully cooked, Liu Ke's wolf-man body couldn't take it anymore. Liu Ke felt very irritable when he was hungry, so he couldn't bear it any longer and tore up the hare and devoured it.

After dinner, the jackals rested separately. The leader could rest under those one-sided tents, while the rest of the jackals could only find a place to lie down.

Liu Ke sat down against a big tree, opened the system interface, and said:
"Learn the skill "Tathagata Palm"!"

"Learning the skill "Tathagata Palm" takes about 1 hour and consumes 1 skill point. Do you want to start learning immediately?"

"Yes!"

"Start learning "Tathagata God's Palm"! Consuming 1 skill point! Opening acupuncture points!"

"Successful Tanzhong acupoint!"

"The Juque acupoint is successful!"

"Qihai Cave was successful!"

. . .

"Guanyuan acupoint failed!"

"Guanyuan acupoint failed!"

"Can't find the Guanyuan point!"

"Skill learning failed, return 1 skill point!"

Looking at Bailiang's system interface and listening to Haoran's system sound, Liu Ke was speechless:
"What the hell? Jackals can't practice martial arts?"
