Absolute Destiny Game.

Chapter 47: Embrace of Fire
"Quack! That's them, damn scarecrow, so bad, kill them humans!"

These scarecrows are level three or four monsters. They look very weak because they are wobbly.

Moreover, the open terrain of the farmland makes this place look safer, unlike the forest where the visibility is poor and no one knows where the monsters are hiding.

Xiao Jie looked around and immediately had an idea. "Let's get started. It's the same old routine. Use bows and arrows to lure them out and kill them one by one! So what's the Fire Embrace?"

I Yuchengxian explained: "I don't know either. It's mentioned in the strategy book my brother gave me."

As he spoke, he read the contents of the strategy book to Xiao Jie.

[Demonized Scarecrow: Its attack power is very weak, and a level 1 player can kill it easily. But before it dies, it will use a move called "Flame Embrace", hugging the player and then spontaneously combusting together with the player. The damage is extremely high, and it is easy to be killed instantly, so try not to provoke it. I was hugged by it once when I was full of health, and it burned me to a skin of blood. ]

Xiao Jie frowned slightly after hearing this. Full of blood burned into bloody skin? That's quite powerful.

His brother's level should not be high when he killed the scarecrow, but even if it only had 100 health points and was burned to bloody skin in one go, it meant that the Fire Embrace would do at least 70-90 damage.

With 100 HP, he could barely hold on, but what if his brother had increased his physical strength? That would mean that the skill of Fire Embrace would be enough to kill him instantly.

However, it will only be used before death, so it should be fine as long as you are careful.

"So, once the health of the scarecrows is low, we can run away and use bows and arrows to finish them off. These scarecrows seem to move quite slowly, so we should be able to kite them."

When I heard this, my eyes lit up. Yes, we have bows and arrows. "I see."

The two men fired a volley at a scarecrow.

Whizzing!

This scarecrow was made of wood and straw, and it really looked like a target, and two arrows hit it at the same time.
-
3!
-
2!

Damn, what's going on? Xiao Jie was shocked. Isn't this the right injury?

Seeing the scarecrow staggering towards the two of them, Xiao Jie did not continue shooting arrows. It seemed that this thing was resistant to piercing damage.

Well, it's just a bunch of straw, there's no point in stabbing it through.

You still have to chop it with a knife.

Xiao Jie swung his knife and chopped forward.

Fortunately, the damage of this slash is full.

One knife hit the scarecrow, direct -22!

It's exactly the same as what is described in the guide. This scarecrow has no attack and no speed. Its pair of arms made of straw have no deterrent effect at all when waving them. Hitting the shield just feels like tickling.

Even the pulling tactic was useless. The scarecrow only had 120 HP in total, and it was almost killed after a few cuts.

Just when its blood volume was about to drop, the scarecrow suddenly caught fire all over, instantly turning into a fire man, and then pounced towards Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie had been prepared for this and used the kite flip without hesitation!
He did a backflip, but his pounce hit nothing. Boom, the scarecrow was completely reduced to ashes in the flames, and more than a dozen copper coins burst out.

System: Gain 8 experience points.

It’s quite simple, Xiao Jie thought.

"Let's continue."

Although the last move, the fire hug, is scary, it is not difficult to avoid as long as you prepare in advance.

The two men lured the scarecrows out of the wheat field one by one, and with their swords together, they could kill one with two strikes.

Some scarecrows were chopped to the ground before they even had time to burst into flames.

Another scarecrow was lured out.

The two men chopped at it with swords and knives, and thought there would be another round, but unexpectedly, the scarecrow caught fire directly.

This time its target was me, Yu Cheng Xian. I hurriedly rolled backwards, but the scarecrow suddenly pounced and landed on me, Yu Cheng Xian.

At first glance, the rolling function in "Old Soil" is very similar to the rolling in the soul-based games that Xiao Jie played in the past, but there is one biggest difference, which is that there is no invincibility frame.

Rolling with an invincibility frame is the real god skill. As long as you roll well, you can dodge any attack. But without the invincibility frame, it is really just a makeshift displacement skill.

It had only rolled halfway when it was hit by the scarecrow.

Boom! The burning flames directly devoured me and made me immortal.

Not good! Xiao Jie was startled and almost froze there.

Do I have to watch my teammates die in front of me again?

"Fuck, fuck!" I screamed in fear, and my health was instantly burned down by more than 90. Fortunately, when he upgraded before, he followed my brother's advice and increased his health. He had a full 150 health bar, so this time he only lost two-thirds of it and was not killed instantly.

But I was still scared to death. My whole body was numb.

As soon as he stood up from the fire, he took out the bottle of blood and started pouring it into his mouth.

He filled three blood bottles in one breath before stopping.

"Brother Feng, sh*t, I was scared to death just now." I said in a crying voice.

Xiao Jie also felt a chill in his heart. Fortunately, he was not the one being hugged. This guy could really kill people in seconds.

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

"No, I have to slow down."

Xiao Jie was also a little confused. He originally thought that the damage shouldn't be that high, but now it seems that it is possible to kill him instantly.

The damage of monster skills definitely fluctuates. If you are unlucky and the damage increases to over 100 at once, you will die.

If only there was a dog, it could deliver the final blow.

"Why don't we stop fighting this thing? It's too scary. Let's go fight the bandits." I said with some fear as I wanted to become an immortal.

"No, let me think about it."

Xiao Jie looked at the remaining scarecrows. He had finally found a map where he could kill as many monsters as he wanted. He couldn't just give up like that.

Besides, other monsters are not easy to fight either. If you attract one more bandit, you might get defeated. There are soulless zombies and elite monsters patrolling. The visibility in the woods is too poor, so it is easy to be ambushed by monsters.

After thinking for a while, I found a solution.

"Well, based on our experience in the battle just now, the scarecrow's ignition point should be below 50% of its health. The lower the health, the higher the probability of spontaneous combustion. It will definitely spontaneously combust below 10%, so as long as we can kill it instantly when its health is at 50%, it shouldn't catch fire."

50% of health, which means 60 health points.

Xiao Jie's one-stroke cut can deal more than 50 damage. As long as I, Yu Chengxian, can add another sword at the same time, I can kill him instantly.

"Well, when Scarecrow's health is halfway down, I will use my combat skills to finish him off. You have to synchronize your attacks with me to ensure an instant kill without giving Scarecrow a chance to self-ignite. Can you do that?"

The skill of Cut in Two has a charging time and cannot be used casually like a normal attack. Therefore, it is only I Yu Cheng Xian that cooperates with Xiao Jie, rather than Xiao Jie cooperating with I Yu Cheng Xian. This requires certain operation skills of I Yu Cheng Xian.

"I'm almost there."

"Almost is not enough. We need 100% success. If you fail to synchronize your attacks, the scarecrow will be left with only skin left in an instant and will surely combust. If that happens, we will be in danger. So, let's practice first."

One knife in two parts!

Slash!

One knife in two parts!

Slash!

One knife in two parts!

Slash!

The two practiced in the air for a long time, and the synchronization rate of their attacks gradually increased. In the end, it was almost as coordinated as moving one's arms and fingers.

"Okay, that's fine. But just in case, I'll pull the monster head-on. The kite's roll is farther, and it's at a high position, so it's not easy to be pounced on."

I want to become an immortal but I shook my head and said, "No, how can I let you do this alone? Besides, my health bar is thick, so if I get knocked down, the possibility of being killed instantly is lower. Since I'm playing this game, I'm ready to fight to the death. Brother Feng, I know you're a good person, but you can't avoid this kind of thing."

Xiao Jie sighed. In fact, he was also afraid. "Okay, let's go together. Brothers, life and death are determined by fate."

"Wealth and honor are from heaven!" I said, wishing to become an immortal.

The two men each held a sword and rushed towards the next scarecrow.

This move of synchronized slashing was indeed very useful. As long as two people attacked at the same time, they could kill the scarecrow with half blood in seconds.

Xiao Jie felt like a dancer dancing on a tightrope, or like a hunter holding a sniper rifle and sniping against the enemy on the battlefield. It seemed easy, but every move was critical.

Cut it off! -54!

Slash! -17!

It was another coordinated attack. When the scarecrow was reduced to ashes, a white light flashed on Xiao Jie's body, and he finally reached level 3.
