Chapter 44 Uncle Sam's Iron Mountain(1/2)
The so-called "Flashing Gold Post" is actually a landmark on the border of the Oma Empire. It is a half-collapsed clay bell tower, indicating that there was a gathering point here a hundred years ago.
Now, there is not even a decent mechanical city here, and no normal people will pass by in the remote area.
But here is the only way for the Oma Empire to smuggle into the "City of Glory".
......
The existence of "City of Glory" seems to be no big secret for people of a certain class.
At least judging from the prosperity of the "Shijin Shuttle", there are many hunters coming and going here.
All the buildings here are for the service of the hunters, customs taverns, musket shops, potions shops, equipment supplies, and mechanical maintenance points...
There are also various speculative merchants waiting here for the hunters who come back from there to buy their goods as soon as possible.
The information conveyed by the "Thornbird Chamber of Commerce" has fermented rapidly, and the well-informed large-scale hunting team has known the news that ruins and minerals have appeared in the city of Glory...
Professional waste hunting teams quickly gathered towards the small town from all directions, and entered the mountainous area one after another.
When Rennes and the others arrived, there were already more than ten times the daily hunters here.
From here, we go west to the "Alcolon Mountains" for hundreds of kilometers, which are mostly rugged mountain roads. If you cannot pass through a large mechanical city, you can only change it to walking or some micro mountain personnel carriers.
Moreover, this journey will pass through a mountainous area of plateau, where powerful monsters appear all year round. In terms of environment and danger, it is even more complicated than the "Bakyan Heights" that Rennes mistakenly entered before.
For this purpose, the old housekeeper Benjamin hired an old team called "Shanling Fertilizer Hunting Group" as a guide.
Although the leader of this Waste Hunting Group is a second-level [advanced] and has only a dozen people in size. However, they are very famous old guides who often follow this route. At least, many Waste Hunting Groups that are stronger than them have disappeared on this route, but they have survived for five years...
The countess still had no intention of going downstairs to walk. She looked completely pampered and generous, with her ten fingers not stained with spring water.
Then, I don’t know where the old butler got a mountain mechanical personnel transport vehicle.
This eight-legged steam mechanical machine, like a spider, can steer like flying in complex mountain environments, and the cockpit is very stable due to the complex suspension shock absorption.
Rennes was a little jealous when he looked at this "black technology", but thought that this thing was definitely not cheap.
The Countess warmly invited Rennes to ride with her, but the narrow cabin two people would definitely touch each other.
He Lei felt that he couldn't control himself and dared not cross it, so he simply stayed away.
So, he chose to walk the same way as others.
.........
On this day, the team set out and headed towards the endless mountains.
The weather has been good these days, without rain, and the mountain roads are easy to walk.
After a few days of getting along, Rennes has been very familiar with the Countess' bodyguard, the Uncle Sam who said he was a third-level shield rider.
If it were ordinary people, they would be first-class experts who could advance to the third level [Demon Hunter], and they were all arrogant.
But this honest and strong man always says that his martial arts are modest.
He will also patiently answer some of the most obvious introductory questions from Rennes.
The fog in the mountains is much lighter than that in the plains and the scenery is good.
There are dense primitive jungles here, which can be regarded as the fragrance of flowers and birds singing.
Occasionally, the breeze blows, and you can hear the sound of waves like the sound of waves in the sea, which is fresh and pleasant.
Now, the journey was a little boring, and Renn walked to Sam and began to ask for advice.
If he wants to learn some martial arts in the fighter sequence, he needs a guide who knows how to do things.
Renn asked with a smile: "Uncle Sam, I have just advanced to the extraordinary. I want to learn fighting boxing. Do you have any good recommendations?"
"Hehe... Why do you, a doctor, want to learn fighting skills?"
Sam joked, revealing his signature honest smile.
But he didn't really look at it and went back directly: "If you want to learn fighting boxing, you must first understand what route you plan to advance after breaking through the second genetic lock in the future."
"Is there anything special? I just want to learn some introductory skills now, and I also have to consider the route after the second level?"
Renn is asking for advice sincerely, which is his blind spot in knowledge.
Although he was determined to advance to the "Combat Doctor" sequence, this did not prevent him from learning some martial arts before finding the right exclusive skills.
This is the extraordinary system in this world. As long as you learn it in the original intention, you can learn any professional skills.
Even if you are a soldier, you can learn to rub small fireballs...
But the ending is that compared with professional magicians with high elemental affinity, you will be a flame that you rub, and they are fireballs as big as watermelons.
Only by learning the extraordinary abilities of one's own awakening can one achieve the ultimate ability.
Rennes' "Combat Doctor" sequence awakens the attributes of high strength, high resilience, and high perception. The martial arts of the fighter sequence are the most suitable.
"Of course there are some considerations!"
Sam introduced: "After the second level of the fighter sequence, there will be two most mainstream branches, one is the [Qigong Master] who practices internal energy, and the other is the [Martial Artsman] who follows the skill stream. Although the other non-mainstream sequences are slightly different, they are roughly an extension of these two categories."
He said, and patiently explained: "It is best for you to decide which path to go later when you are now. The muscles and internal breath produced in the two sequences are completely different. One focuses on "using Qi to control power" to continue fighting, and the other focuses on "exploding skills" to quickly kill the enemy."
"So that's what it is..."
Ren's eyes suddenly realized that this was the first time he heard this statement.
Thinking about it, he asked with a smile again, "Uncle Sam, which one do you think is more powerful?"
"No extraordinary profession says that the sequence is absolutely the most powerful, only the strongest extraordinary."
Sam shook his head and smiled slightly.
It seems that he has heard this problem in the mouths of many young people.
He expressed his experience and said: "Even if there is a difference in the quality of advanced potions, it is not necessarily that the extraordinary person who advances in silver potions must be stronger than the black iron. The amplitude brought by acquired asceticism and experience to the extraordinary person is far more important than the magic potions... The path to extraordinary is that potions are just the beginning, and practice is the process!"
"oh..."
Renn nodded, not understanding, and changed his question: "Uncle, which branch do you think is more competitive?"
Sam replied without thinking: "In terms of choice, more than 70% of the extraordinary people in the fighting system will choose the [Martial Arts] branch because this sequence is wider and can form combat power in a short period of time."
Speaking of this, he changed his subject again: "But from the perspective of top-level strong men, [Qigong Master] obviously has more momentum. Although it is more difficult to advance, once he advances to the fourth-level [Demon Hunter Master], the advantages of this sequence will become greater and greater..."
Ren vaguely understood. Isn’t this the difference between Huashan Sword Sect and Qi Sect?
He couldn't tell which one he changed to learn, so he asked, "Can you learn both?"
"It's OK...but it's complicated but not refined. People have limited energy, and no matter which branch, it requires a lot of energy to learn. And, there is another important thing..."
Uncle Sam smiled and said, "From your medical point of view, the two branches of potion awakening physical attributes are also very different. [Martial Arts] focuses on the growth of white muscle fibers, [Qigong Master] focuses on red muscle fibers; white muscles are responsible for explosion, and red muscles are responsible for endurance. There is not much difference in general martial arts, but the effects of some exclusive skills and secrets are very different."
"oh..."
Renn understood this professional term completely and nodded frequently.
At this time, a light flashed through Sam's eyes, and he added lightly: "If you really meet a master, these small gaps will be enough to cause fatal flaws."
After hearing this, Rennes always felt as if he had listened to a master's lecture, and he was unaware of his sensation.
He tilted his head and looked at Sam's burly body, and smiled and joked, "Uncle Sam, you seem to know everything. Are you very awesome?"
At this time, Sam showed his signature smile again and said in great modesty: "I'm so good at speaking, and my martial arts are mediocre."
“…”
Renne did not comment or investigate it.
Anyway, the third-level [Demon Hunter] is already unattainable for him now.
Then, his eyes turned, and a smirk appeared, and he said, "Uncle Sam, can you teach me some common martial arts skills for warriors?"
Sam seemed to have expected it and smiled, "What do you want to learn?"
I don't know if it was because of the countess, but Rennes always felt that Sam was very polite to him.
He thought for a while and said, "Well... learning can save lives! It is best to be able to injure the enemy..."
Sam raised his brow, picked one from his knowledge reserve library, and said, "There is a general martial art among the power warriors, "Iron Mountain Behind"... Three stages of power accumulation, collision, shock, collapse! Three stages of damage, blocking, hurting people, knocking off... This is the martial art that I can think of the most suitable for your requirements. Do you want to learn it?"
Rennes's eyes lit up: "Learn!"
Sam didn't say much, and walked directly to a giant tree with a diameter of nearly one meter beside the mountain road, "Look, I'll use my force to do this... The force starts from the ground, penetrates the waist, and collapses on my shoulders and arms!"
As soon as the words were finished, the figure flashed, and he had already rushed into two meters in an instant and leaned directly on the big tree!
I could only hear a "bang" sound, as if time had stopped for a moment, and then in a very short time I heard the "click" sound of the second section of force...
"Bang"!
With three sections of force, the giant tree seemed to be blown up by explosives, and the wood chips splashed and were broken by Sam!
After the demonstration, Sam patted the wood chips on his shoulder, and his breath was not messy: "Did you see clearly?"
This was obviously to let Renn see clearly, so he deliberately slowed down the demonstration. How to push the feet, the order of muscle force, and how to luck... were all demonstrated in detail.
But even so, it is still amazingly powerful.
"See clearly. Wow... Uncle Sam, you are so awesome!"
To be continued...
