20demayo Chapter 27 Battle Summary
Chapter 27 Battle Summary
By now, the alpha wolf was at its last gasp. After a moment's hesitation, it left behind a pile of wolf carcasses and turned to flee back into the forest.
However, how could Zhou Ye possibly let this beast go? He activated Agility+5 and caught up in just a few steps, his speed no slower than the alpha wolf's.
Seeing that escape was impossible, the alpha wolf leaped up and pounced again, beginning its desperate struggle...
A few dozen breaths later, Zhou Ye, holding a waist knife, pierced the wolf's abdomen and pinned it firmly to the snow.
Once the alpha wolf stopped struggling, Zhou Ye stepped over its carcass, drew his sword, raised it high, and let out a triumphant howl!
Even after carrying the four wolf carcasses back to his small home, Zhou Ye remained excited.
It's important to understand that this battle was a direct, head-on confrontation. There were no fancy moves; it was all about raw power and raw strength. And this was against a pack of wolves, one against four? Even so, he still managed to wipe out all four wolves.
To be honest, Zhou Ye's confidence had been completely shattered. He also had a basic assessment of his own true abilities.
It's no exaggeration to say that among ordinary people, they could take on ten opponents single-handedly. Even if they encountered wild beasts, they could usually hold their own. Even if they couldn't win, they could escape. Therefore, at the ordinary person level, they faced virtually no danger.
As for martial artists and demonic beasts? That's hard to say. A proper assessment will be needed later.
But no matter what, at least they now have some ability to protect themselves.
另外就是收穫。除了多四张狼皮、狼肉、狼牙、狼爪等以外。这次的战斗中，各项的经验值都是暴涨——基础劈砍已经达到圆满（751/1000）；基础投掷也达到了大成（248/500）；基础身法达到小成（12/200）；还有基础箭术达到了精通（39/100），甚至连基础盾击都达到了精通（2/100）
The only downside is that the round shield was damaged to the point of being unusable due to the numerous impacts it suffered.
After calming down, Zhou Ye began to summarize his combat experience:
We still need to work like crazy! Let's use this free time for a major winter training session!
First, there's the basic slashing attack. It takes about 30 days to master it to the maximum level. You'll then acquire your first max-level martial art!
Basic throwing skills need to be mastered to perfection, and basic movement techniques need to be perfected. Basic archery also needs to be mastered to a basic level. After all, javelins have a relatively short range and are somewhat dangerous. It's better to use a bow and arrow to fly a kite from a distance. If you miss, you can just run away!
In addition, all other martial arts skills must be mastered. I can't afford to leave myself with any weaknesses.
Just like in this battle, the basic shield bash played a crucial role. What if we need to use other basic martial arts techniques in future battles? We can't afford to cram at the last minute!
Of course, basic shield bash is also quite important. It should also be a focus, and you must master it to a certain extent.
Interestingly, Zhou Ye just discovered that as strength increases, the basic shield bash experience points increase from 3 to 5 per day.
Out of curiosity, Zhou Ye tried the basic hammering again and found that the time had also increased from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock every day.
Without a doubt, there are no shortcuts or tricks to mastering these two martial arts techniques. It all comes down to increasing personal strength. The greater the strength, the faster the experience points will accumulate.
As for that broken round shield? Zhou Ye thought for a moment, then took out the fish scale from the fish demon.
This fish scale is extremely hard. Zhou Ye had experimented with it; neither cutting it with a knife nor burning it could leave a single mark. Moreover, its size was just right, perfect for modifying into a round shield. It was even much lighter than the original round shield.
I'll just glue a handle together with fish glue, name it the Fish Scale Shield, and use it as my shield from now on! Plus, it looks so dark and inconspicuous, it perfectly suits my low-key style.
……
On the snow, a fox with fiery red fur was foraging for food. Suddenly, with a "whoosh," a bamboo arrow pierced its head accurately.
He happily picked up the fox, pulled out the bamboo arrow, and tossed it into the bag behind him. Now he had another fox pelt for the family.
In truth, Zhou Ye didn't care about the quantity of his catch during these hunts; he even chose very low-quality bamboo arrows. The key was experience points. These points increased relatively quickly during the hunt.
Finding that his basic archery skills had finally reached the minor mastery level, Zhou Ye became too lazy to continue. Carrying his day's spoils, he hurried towards his small homestead…
Almost two months have passed. During this time, all the other basic martial arts skills have been mastered. Basic archery is the last one to be learned.
Is that "The Motherland Is Calling"? Let's not even mention it. The imagery was too beautiful: people earnestly doing calisthenics on the snow?
But in any case, the basic boxing techniques have also been mastered.
Another aspect is practicing basic throwing techniques. You can't just throw a net at thin air, that would be too boring.
So Zhou Ye went back to the river and found that all traces of the previous battle had vanished without a trace; nature's ability to repair itself is truly remarkable. Anyway, while practicing his basic casting, he wondered if he could catch a few fish.
To everyone's surprise, they did catch some fish, but among them were two sturgeon, each weighing 4 to 500 pounds. And they even managed to break the fishing net.
In the end, Zhou Ye spent several nights mending the nets. Finding he still had some material left over, he also wove a few fish traps.
And then there's daily life.
Zhou Ye made several more trips, bringing home a large quantity of rock salt. After extracting the salt, he used it to cure a large amount of salted fish and meat, and currently has over 3000 jin (1,500 kg) left.
You know, salt doesn't spoil. Making more wouldn't hurt. But the main thing is, Zhou Ye is just incredibly bored and wants to find something to do. Anyway, he's just idling around.
Anyway, putting those little tidbits aside for now, it's time to focus on maxing out the basic slash skill. Thirty days of hard work—I must get the basic slash skill to max level!
And just like that, another 20 days passed.
That day, Zhou Ye woke up in bed and was stunned to find the panel in front of him flashing.
I've finally turned a year older; I'm now 15.
In the original owner's memory, her birthday was the third day of the Lunar New Year. She never imagined that the New Year would already be over without her noticing.
记住这个时间后，周野又惊喜的看向面板。除了年龄有所增长以外，其他的基础数据都出现了变化——生命值+10；力量+1；敏捷+1；体质+1；精魄+1；魅力+1
Unexpectedly, there was a New Year's gift package? Zhou Ye was already overjoyed.
With this additional skill point, Zhou Ye's strength increased dramatically once again...
