Please ask the dream.

Chapter 160 Exploring

Along with this angry shout, two figures emerged from Feng Xue's body as if their souls had left their bodies, and each of them faced the swordsman who was swinging his sword. The illusory figures turned into reality in an instant, and the air was filled with the sound of a piano.

Although, it's a harmonica.

There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, being able to play a harmonica does not mean one knows how to make one. And the only thing Feng Xue has access to these days is the toy harmonica he brought out of prison.

Playing the harmonica in his hand, the melody of "One Step Away" spread across the wilderness with a rhythm even better than the original.

The sound of the harmonica was a little sharp, but at this moment it was perfectly transformed into the sharp swords of two puppets, one in front and one behind, one far and one near, up and down, and the alternating steps matched the melody of the music.

The sound of gunfire served as an accompaniment, as did the twang of swords. The dance music seemed to have become the strings controlling the two puppets, while the weapons in the puppets' hands were integrated into the music, making the entire melody more complete.

At first glance, the Death Troupe's architecture is an operating system programmed with complex musical note codes. However, after Feng Xue performed the piano in the ward, he finally understood the true core of this architecture.

Rhythm.

In the final analysis, melody is nothing more than a self-suggestion that is easy to manipulate. However, if a melody is really used to represent a set of actions, then the frequent switching of melodies during battle will increase the burden of thinking, which would be more convenient than direct manipulation.

Only by clearly grasping the changes in rhythm, and then taking rhythm as a guideline and flexibly adjusting the melody according to the situation, can one be as flexible as using one's arm to control one's fingers.

In order to achieve the same instinctive manipulation as its predecessor, it is necessary to completely integrate emotions and music and be able to turn every one of one's thoughts into a musical melody (Note ①).

Feng Xue admitted that he did not have this kind of musical talent, so he did not expect to reach the same heights as his predecessor. "Death Troupe" was just a stepping stone for him to explore the architectural system. He had no doubt that he would explore his own proprietary architecture in the future.

The melody in the air gradually became smooth and mellow, and the harmonica in Feng Xue's hand suddenly disappeared, just like when you occasionally hear a familiar song on the street, even if you have left the source of the sound, the song will still echo in your mind. After the performance of the Death Theater officially began, what was played in the air was no longer the harmonica in Feng Xue's hand, but the melody echoing in his mind.

The two sword warriors were restrained by the puppets. Feng Xue threw away the harmonica and waved his hands. A pair of daggers were in his hands. A light silver light appeared on his body surface, and three sword shadows condensed in the air again.

This gang of thieves obviously had enough tacit understanding. The moment Feng Xue tried to cut the back row again, the burly man holding the shield and the stick whistled.

Upon hearing this, the two sword warriors immediately began to shrink their formation, while the archers in the back also started running.

But this was obviously exactly what Feng Xue wanted. Although he obtained the elements of the sword, it was not easy to fill it with enough lethality. It would be fine with the help of Yan Mohu in reality, but in the exploration where he could not share the real collection, Feng Xue could only make one quickly.

However, with the power of the first sword as a foundation, the shield-wielding bandits naturally did not dare to gamble on whether these three swords had lethality.

Just like the common "support troops" in martial arts novels, they do not need to land, just their existence is enough.

The music in the air suddenly changed, and the sudden increase in speed brought about an increase in rhythm, instantly making the harmonious dance music radical.

And in this simple and rough speed change, the speed of the two puppets also suddenly increased.

This sudden change completely interrupted the rhythm of the thieves' gang. Their originally well-organized formation was completely disrupted. The two swordsmen who were originally able to cooperate with each other were disconnected from the shield-wielding bandits. At the same time, Feng Xue had pulled the recurve bow that he had completed without knowing when, and the sword that truly condensed the killing power was now resting on the bowstring!
The three arrows suspended in the air suddenly trembled, and then suddenly accelerated. The shield soldier's attention was diverted at this moment. At this moment, the azure sword turned into a bright blue light! "Boom!"

The shield soldier was knocked down by a sword, and the crossbowman who lost his protection also retreated. The remaining two swordsmen wanted to escape, but how could they retreat when they were charging into battle?
However, when the killer puppet blew off the head of the last swordsman, Feng Xue cursed in his heart, because he clearly noticed that at the moment he shot the arrow, the shield soldier actually raised his shield!
"Is this a normal combat? Fighting these four people gives me the same feeling as fighting Hongying's entire airborne force!"

Feng Xue's heart was full of doubts about the difficulty, but the golden finger obviously would not give him an explanation. As the frozen picture suddenly shattered, the settlement interface also emerged -

[Operation ends, perfect tactics]

[Node settlement: Fantasy +2]

[Drop extraction in progress...]

[You obtained Qingyun Ancient Coin (Blue)]

……

"Oh, what a good start!"

Looking at the fallen Qingyun ancient coins, Feng Xue's mouth curled up slightly. Although the Dream Collection did not seem to be so useful in a situation where battle nodes were everywhere, with the example of red wine, this kind of thing that seemed to have some value might be used to attract the enemy's attention in battle.

"It's a pity that I chose the [Strength] card this time, otherwise this thing might be able to exchange for a lot of good things with neutral forces like the Romka people." Feng Xue thought secretly with some regret, but began to think about the next node.

As expected, the next three nodes were all combat nodes.

"Two emergency ones and one normal one..." Feng Xue looked at the difficulty prompt of the node and ignored whether it was connected to the horizontal node. His goal this time was to reach a higher level, so he just kept moving forward.

"Although if you don't fight in an emergency in the early stage, you will be attacked in an emergency in the later stage, but the combat power of this exploration is beyond the standard, and I even have difficulty in ordinary combat."

Feng Xue complained in his heart, but finally clicked on the [Normal Combat] button. The picture unfolded and he was standing on the desolate Gobi Desert again.

In the front of the picture, a man holding a machete looks at the audience outside the picture. He is wearing a strange but easy-to-move outfit, and has gold ornaments with intricate patterns on his neck, ears, arms, etc. He looks like he wants to be robbed.

Just as Feng Xue was thinking that this person might be the target this time, the introduction text also appeared -

[During the journey, you encountered a wandering Farah. Although you wanted to have a good conversation with him, his murderous eyes and unsheathed weapon seemed to tell you that he didn't think so.]

"Fala?"
