Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 13: Ahead of the Level
Bai Shi quietly got behind the Greg soldier and approached him little by little.

When they were still four or five steps away, the Greg soldier finally heard a slight noise.

But the moment he turned his head, Bai Shi rushed over, covered his mouth with one hand, and then stabbed the opponent's ribs with his right hand.

This sword directly pierced through the Greg soldier, and the tip of the sword pierced through the collarbone. A large amount of blood flowed down the hilt, and it was obvious that the sword had pierced through the heart.

The Greg soldier struggled for a few times and then stopped moving. A little golden rune floated out of his body and merged into Bai Shi's body.

Bai Shi shook off the blood on the sword, tore off the cloth from the corpse, and wiped the blood remaining on the sword.

The blood stained the embroidery of the golden tree and the lion, and was then thrown to the ground by Bai Shi.

"The reaction is more sensitive than in the game, but still not as good as a normal human."

Bai Shi squatted on the ground, carefully examining the faces of the Grek soldiers.

It was a face like that of a mummy, black and shriveled.

After the Elden Ring was broken, all life in the world blessed by the Golden Tree was affected.

In the past, the way to die at the border was to return to the tree in the cemetery, that is, to be absorbed by the roots of the golden tree before being reborn again.

But now, the ring is broken, the golden law can no longer operate, and these blessed beings cannot return to the tree, which means they cannot die.

Under the curse of immortality, they age day by day, their bodies and souls are destroyed together, and many of the soldiers now are just shells of their bodies.

Their souls have become extremely weak, and they may not even know who they are. They just continue to patrol and fight according to their previous instincts.

One day, they will become zombies with only their bodies alive... maybe they already are.

Bai Shi sighed, what a sad world.

Bai Shi began to touch the corpse, but there was nothing worth looting on the body of this ordinary soldier.

This set of armor was already stained and mottled, and it had just been pierced by Bai Zhi, and the stains were already on Huo Torch. It would be a challenge to pick up the pair and carry the weight.

The only thing of some value was the sword he had not yet drawn, the King's Army Straight Sword.

The standard weapons of ordinary soldiers serving various kings have become blackened and deteriorated due to long-term use, but there are still some signs of maintenance.

But Bai Shi thought about it and decided not to take it away as he had a lot of weapons on him.

Even if the soldier loses his mind, he will still maintain the sword. Let the sword be left here to accompany the soldier to rest in peace.

Bai Shi continued to move through the bushes, during which he encountered several soldiers, successfully ambushed them twice, and picked up several Gurkha knives.

But there was one time when it seemed that the soldier's mind had not yet completely worn out and he was discovered by him in advance.

Bai Shi fought with him for two rounds, and finally easily slashed his sword into his neck.

But the noise and shouting of the fighting also attracted three soldiers nearby.

The three soldiers rushed forward and attacked alternately intentionally or unintentionally, making Bai Shi unable to defend himself. He was accidentally slashed by two swords.

The sword hit the shoulder armor, but was firmly blocked by the shoulder armor, leaving only a slight dent.

But the other sword was more dangerous, and it came straight at Bai Shi's head.

Bai Shi had no shield on him, and his straight sword was also blocking another attack.

He could only use the arm armor on his forearm to resist, but the arm armor was cut through by the sword and the straight sword was deeply embedded in the flesh.

Bai Shi fought and retreated, and found the right opportunity to kill one first. The frequency of attacks suddenly decreased, and the remaining two were taken down soon after.

"Hu——Hu——" Bai Shi's face turned pale and his left hand kept shaking. The bleeding and the continuous fighting made him a little tired.

Although these soldiers have lost their minds, they fight as if they were alive.

Bai Shi slowly removed the broken arm armor from his hand, exposing the bleeding arm, and simply bandaged it with the corpse's clothes.

"They are clearly the walking dead, but when there are more people they can actually cooperate."

"Fortunately, the armor is of good quality. If the shoulder had been cut, my entire left hand would have been paralyzed."

The armor on Bai Shi's body has been weathered for a long time, and the defense of some parts has indeed decreased a lot, otherwise it would not have been chopped through by the soldiers in one go.

"Heh, luckily this isn't a game. Now I can touch the corpse as I please."

Bai Shi picked up a set of arm armor from the corpse. The arm armor of a Greg soldier was a leather glove and a metal arm guard, wrapped in a layer of rags on the outside.

Bai Shi endured the pain and put on the new arm guard on his left arm. He didn't know if there would be a battle ahead, and it was too dangerous to expose his body to fight. If a sword hit his unprotected hand, it would probably be cut off directly.

There was nothing worth picking up from these soldiers, so Bai Shi ignored them and continued walking past the corpses.

Fortunately, there were no soldiers on the road ahead, and Bai Shi passed through the dense forest smoothly.

At this moment, the sky has begun to darken, and it is dusk that is about to fall.

There was a ruin in front of me. There were a few tents for resting and storing supplies scattered among the wreckage of some unknown building.

Although the distance was far, Bai Shi could see the many soldiers patrolling back and forth inside even without a telescope.

On the left is a huge pass with a stone brick wall between two mountains, leaving only one road passing under the city gate.

The mountains on both sides are vertical rock walls and it is impossible to climb from the sides.

And in front of the level, there is a blessing point shining, waiting for Bai Shi to touch it.

You must go to this blessed point, because this is where Melina will appear in front of the player for the first time.

Bai Shi wants to see her.

However, the terrain made Bai Shi feel troubled for a moment. Although the map was much larger, the soldiers were not as deaf and blind as in the game. It was impossible for him to crouch and sneak past without being discovered.

There are a lot of soldiers stationed in the ruins in front of the checkpoint, so it would be difficult to break through head-on.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head and he remembered the Gurkha knife he had picked up from the corpse.

It is a relatively large throwing knife, which can be regarded as a heavy throwing weapon, and it can deal good damage when thrown.

But the important thing is that this scimitar has a characteristic: because it is heavy, it will make a lot of noise when it falls on a stone.

Bai Shi licked his lips, and an idea emerged in his mind.

But before that, Bai Shi changed his position and used a monocular telescope to observe the situation in the level.

"The soldiers are spread out far apart, but one of them seems to be holding a crossbow. It would be bad if he gets hit by a sniper."

But Bai Shi thought about it and felt that this plan was quite feasible. Even if it failed, he could still get away with it.

So Bai Shi found a bush leaning against the cliff and hid in it, waiting for the night to fall.

　The AI of the monsters has been strengthened. The more sanity they retain, the stronger their combat power. This book does not intend to use pure game values. The numerical difference between Grek's soldiers and other soldiers of the King's Army in the game is very large, but in this book, the average level difference is not so outrageous. However, after a long time, other soldiers have retained more sanity, so the strength gap between the soldiers in the early and late maps has widened. The data of the same race is similar, only special individuals will be stronger. For example, the values of these flying dragons in the early stage are similar, but the freezing ice fog and stepping into corruption are much stronger than other flying dragons.
