"What kind of weapon do you want to use?" The old man saw that Zhao Mai's attention had returned to the right path, so he asked him. There was a box in his tree hole, and after opening it, it was all old equipment, and the size and style were not the same.

Without the old man's explanation, Zhao Mai understood the origin of these weapons. This must be the spoils after repeated battles, and was accumulated by the ranger through victory. So you can see the serrated knife of the dog-headed knives, the orc's double-headed axe, the spear-tailed halberd of the centaur and the zombie's double-blade giant machetes.

Although his martial arts are completely zero, Zhao Mai's vision is definitely across the level of time and space. From the bone rod of the primitive man to the lightsaber of Star Wars, the high-manganese alloy sword to the high-frequency ion vibration knife, his theoretical knowledge - or brain holes - surpasses anyone in Graleone. Heroes from ancient times, whether in history or from literary works, are all in his memory library. What you have to do now is to choose a path that suits you best.

When it comes to the weapons of the ranger, one will think of the elves' arch magic skills of the elves' perfect shots, and the other will be the ventilated sword net of the double-sword ranger. Both paths are very good, both in appearance and power. But if you think carefully, someone can reach the peak does not mean that it is the most suitable thing for most people to learn, especially for Zhao Mai who has no foundation. He is just a human, and it is impossible to spend a hundred years like an elves or a dark elves to exercise these two types of martial arts.

If Zhao Mai has been practicing for a hundred years, he will definitely choose Tai Chi or find a way to practice his internal skills, which is definitely more reliable than a double-sword ranger.

The martial arts he understood was to defeat the enemy while protecting himself. It was very difficult to use a weapon to achieve both offense and defense, so he quickly figured out the path he wanted to take.

"Shield and short spear," he found the corresponding words and said to the old man: "The shield is the main one, and the short spear, sword or hammer is fine."

This is the safest way. Life is the first priority, and it does not affect flexibility. He has already chosen the shield, which is the spare tire of his car. Although it has become a little heavy, he found a rope to fix it. This is the strongest artifact shield!

Short spear, also known as one-handed spear, is a weapon that can only be used for stabbing. When raising a shield, it is only the simplest. The shortest range of stabbing can ensure that it does not affect the defense hands. Ancient Spartan warriors combined shields, short spears, battle formations and iron smelting techniques, and combined with their military culture, creating a legendary army. Zhao Mai felt that using this combat method as the basis is the most suitable for him.

As for the future, he will definitely learn long-range, such as crossbows. Ranger Carl's crossbow is a light crossbow that can be shot with one hand (but requires the cooperation of both hands to be wound), which will not affect his use of the shield. Anyway, Zhao Mai's purpose is to hide behind the shield, watch others beat him to death, and focus on finishing the attacks.

This choice has no outstanding advantages, but it has no shortcomings, and Carl agrees. He is actually worried that Zhao Mai will choose some flashy combat skills, such as double-held long swords and daggers. Such martial arts require more steps, and Carl does not understand those steps, for fear that he will teach him badly.

The shield and spear are much simpler, and there are fewer movements to learn. The shield movement includes five techniques: alert shield holding posture, blocking, sliding, pushing, and hitting. All that remains is enough arm strength, keen reaction and continuous concentration.

To put it bluntly, there is only one action: thorn. Because the other hand has a shield, Zhao Mai can simply consider attacking with a spear, and there is no need to learn to defend with a spear. The old ranger Carl took out a pen and drew a human figure, and then began to tell the methods of basic combat skills training.

He divided the plane in front of Zhao Mai into nine squares, marking numbers separately like a computer keyboard. 1 means that the attack comes from the lower left, 6 means the center right, and 8 means the top. As long as you can defend the attack grid and then grab the enemy's unguarded grid to stab, you can win.

This is a very simple and concise way, easy to understand. He took his wooden shield and made basic actions to defend nine grids, one by one for Zhao Mai to imitate them until he did the right thing. Then he picked up a wooden stick, shouted numbers in his mouth, and launched the corresponding attack.

Do not consider false moves, skills, and only simple blocking. This method is the basis of the foundation. Zhao Mai listens to the numbers, needs to react quickly in his mind and make correct moves. At first, Carl's stick speed was very slow, but later it gradually accelerated, and Zhao Mai must keep up with the rhythm as soon as possible.

Strength, speed, and skills are the core components of martial arts, but they need to be based on some foundation. Carl may not be able to cultivate a martial arts master, but it is perfect as Zhao Mai’s entry-level master. He guided Zhao Mai step by step, watching him gradually form the most basic reaction, and confirmed that he had mastered the basic movements, so he let him practice by himself.

Putting down the light wooden shield, Zhao Mai carried the heavy spare tire shield, and his center of gravity was deflected by this thing, so it was not easy to stand steadily. It is not impossible to practice with a light shield first, but if you don’t have the spirit of enduring hardship, how can you improve faster? Without pressure, there is no motivation, and it is not that others are making things difficult for themselves, but that you make demands on yourself, and there is no reason not to work hard!

He practiced one move after another, gradually becoming familiar with the center of gravity and inertia of the spare tire shield. Muscle aches are nothing. The only regret that Zhao Mai felt was that he did not have a large mirror. If he could have a mirror on the whole wall like a dance practice room, it would be of great help to correct his movements.

When he was training, the hairy dog ​​could not lie on his shoulder. The little guy was not far away, and he focused on Zhao Mai's training with his big eyes, and his little tail swung. As long as Zhao Mai's movements were standard, his tail would swing quickly; if he didn't do it well, he would be too lazy to shake. Although it was incredible to let a dog correct his training, it was a fantasy world after all, wasn't it?

As the sky gradually became dusk, Ranger Carl stopped Zhao Mai's self-training and took salt to the kitchen to cook. Zhao Mai wanted to follow him, but his arms couldn't be raised. On the road of more than 20 years of life, he had never been so tired or satisfied. He did not need others to praise him at this time, because he could feel his own progress.

The orc Solu tilted his head and looked at Zhao Mai, curled his lips, followed Carl to the kitchen. Today's dinner will include cheese and sweet wine bought from Neibo Town, which he has been coveting for a long time.

Solu didn't like "Mc" who didn't come to help and sat in the yard waiting for food. He thought it was a sign of "weakness and uselessness". "Teacher, do you want to train him into a ranger?"

"No, he can't become a Jungle Ranger, he won't stay here forever." Carl thought of the way Mike came to this world, and understood that Mike would definitely leave sooner or later. He shook his head and asked Soru to fetch some water.
