Soul of Burning Steel

Northland, Moldavia.

The wind blew, and the snow fell with the cold wave from the extreme north sea. Under the cover of the gray clouds, the day was as dark as the night, and the shrill liu haze and wind echoed in the air, like the sound of a horn.

Now it is December, the time of snow, in the last month of the year, blizzards and strong winds will sweep across the entire empire, even the far south with the hottest climate will feel the freezing cold during the day . Because of the sudden drop in temperature, everyone shut their doors and lived off the crops they had harvested in the past. They allowed the snow to pile up and cover the window eaves and block the door.

Because of the special natural environment, the buildings in the Northland are different from other places. The doors are opened inwards. This is to avoid the embarrassing situation that the door of the house is blocked by snow. But even so, when the snow stops, Many people still have to hold a shovel and dig a way out bit by bit.

At this time, the gust of wind swept the floating snow, and the extreme cold that could freeze boiling water in an instant filled the atmosphere. In this terrifying environment, even the dragon cart caravan stopped trading. No matter how crazy people are, they would not choose to go out now. .

But there are still exceptions.

In Moldavia, the main city, on the top of the city wall, a man with black hair and red eyes was standing on the edge of the city wall in a black singlet.

Facing such a violent snowstorm, he closed his eyes and remained motionless like a sculpture. If it wasn't for the fact that his skin was still rosy and his chest was heaving slightly, he would have looked dead at first glance.

Actually, Joshua was 'breathing'.

Following the strange rhythm, the warrior pumped his lungs, inhaled the incomparably cold air, and then trembled slightly, resonating with the muscles, internal organs and the most subtle parts of the body, and the frequency of blood circulation was also changed, flowing in the body that had been exercised to the extreme In the middle, strength is accumulated.

Dou Qi is an extension of life, a part of the combination of the 'self' and the body. It is born deep in the body due to a strong physique and strong will, and slowly stores it. Logically speaking, unless life and death are critical, it will absolutely Will not burst out.

However, the humans on the Continent of Conflict have used thousands of years of experiments to sum up a set of methods that can systematically utilize this power.

It's called breathing.

call.

Joshua let out a breath slowly, the scorching water vapor was like a white wave in the cold wind, moving against the heavy snow.

Exhale all the air in the lungs, and then control the flow of blood, so that the heartbeat becomes slower, but more powerful, and the operation of the internal organs gradually slows down. Then, take a deep breath according to the rhythm, so that the body that is close to silence And jumping, the power stored in the depths is released, gradually strengthening the body.

The severe cold of the wind and snow tempered the will and made the mind calmer. While the body temperature was quickly taken away, the breathing became more difficult and stronger each time, until tens of minutes later, when the number of breathing cycles ended, An inexplicable black-red luster lit up from the soldier's heart, and then flowed quickly with the blood, covering the whole body, faintly, the clang sound like metal collision could be heard.

It worked.

Opening his eyes, Joshua showed a slight smile on his stiff face due to the severe cold. He stretched out his right hand, looked at the black-red light that was slowly flowing above it and gradually disappeared, and nodded in satisfaction: It's been a long time since I've suffered so much. Practice, and finally practice the 'steel armor breathing method'.

He pulled out a small knife from his waist, and stabbed at his arm mercilessly. The speed was so strong that it even brought a gust of wind, but with an extremely ear-piercing scratching sound, the knife The tip of the knife was completely flattened as if it hit the metal armor, and the blade was distorted out of shape, but the soldier's arm was intact, only a little dark red light flickered at the place where it was stabbed before.

That's right, just level one has such an effect.

Throwing away the small knife that had turned into a pile of scrap iron, Joshua ignited red fighting spirit flames all over his body, sweeping away the stiffness caused by the ice and snow, and then he simply turned his head and walked towards the city : Although it's a little hasty, this breathing method can indeed be quickly transformed into combat power, and it's not in vain to occupy one of my permanent gain status slots.

Permanent buff state, this is the scientific name, in fact, most players habitually call it [passive skill], black iron level has only one passive skill slot, while silver has two, gold has three, different from ordinary skills Similarly, passive skills require long-term training to obtain, just like the steel armor breathing method that a soldier practiced hard just now. Even with the convenience of severe cold and past experience, he practiced for five full days before he initially succeeded.

As a former legendary warrior, Joshua knew a lot of useful passive skills and how to train them, but it was because of his former skills that he made up his mind to expend a passive skill slot and train a passive skill quickly. The letter from several nights.

At the end of the banquet and the night of meeting with Munster, Joshua did not rest after reading the text message sent by the Emperor of the Empire, but continued to open the letter, and this letter was a text message from the Black Forest Fortress .

[To the lord of Moldavia, Lord Joshua Van Radcliffe:

There was a thick fog in the black forest, and the roar of the swarm of monsters was getting louder and louder. The detection spell could even confirm that there were gold-level monsters mixed in the herd. According to past experience, this time the black tide should be ahead of schedule. By the end of the month or the beginning of January, the fortress has been under martial law, please prepare for quick support. 】

[Your faithful Zorgen. 】

Kuroshio, as well as gold-ranked monsters.

Thinking of this, Joshua's expression couldn't help becoming serious.

If it is said that the destructive power caused by a silver-level transcendent can be compared to a high-power artillery that can move quickly and have unlimited ammunition, then the destructive power caused by a gold-level transcendent can be compared to a cannon that can several times A supersonic bomber that cruises at the speed of sound and has an infinitely high-power cloud bomb reserve.

This is only human beings. If it is a monster of the same level, pure power is even better. When hit by such power, no matter how powerful the fighting spirit is and how skillful the skills are, because of the limitation of physical strength, it will definitely suffered internal injuries.

Although it is said that with Joshua's skills and control ability, enemies of the same class cannot pose a threat to him at all, but the Kuroshio is completely different from fighting alone. It is not as simple as dealing with nineteen silver mercenaries alone. If the team is accidentally dispersed, it will be one person dealing with hundreds of monsters, and there is no room for dodge.

This is war. Every black tide is a real war. In the face of war, one cannot be too cautious. Besides, as a lord, Joshua's task is to rush into the herd of beasts and kill any of them that could threaten the city wall of the fortress. The powerful silver, or even gold-level monsters, plus this time because of the berserk virus of the black dragon, the intensity of the black tide will definitely keep up. No matter how strong the fighter is, he must be prepared for this battle and intend.

There are always many difficulties, and there are many problems to be solved. Faced with these, the steel armor breathing method is his choice.

Most of the armor, especially the magic armor, has the ability to be immune to shocks and reduce physical attacks. A warrior who wears the armor and will not be distracted by some scattered small attacks has at least three times the fighting power than when he is not wearing it. Joe Xiuya has MAX ultimate intent and has no lack of attack methods at all, but his body is only the most basic and extraordinary body of the gold level. Facing countless berserk monsters, what he needs to strengthen is his defense.

Steel armor breathing method, this skill comes from a powerful warrior who is so strong that he is not like a human being. He calls himself the Kiba King and wanders all over the continent. As long as he is defeated, he can learn several special warrior skills. There is no doubt that the steel armor Armor breathing method is one of them.

It can increase the basic armor and reduce some physical damage. It can be immune to all concussion damage in the later stage, and has a strong defense against piercing damage. In addition, it can also increase physical strength and life recovery speed, until the end, just Just like wearing a layer of real advanced magic armor, there is no vital point on the whole body, and it can also increase the physical fitness of the soldiers who practice it in all directions, so that they can adapt to various situations and places.

But this kind of skill is not popular in the game - it is nothing more than an extra layer of protection. Weapons and skills that can break through armor must also be able to penetrate the flesh. In this case, why give up a flexible and changeable skill? Gain bar, learn this defensive passive skill? In addition, most players are not afraid of death, and those who can be resurrected prefer to attack rather than defend. Except for guys like Joshua who don't take the usual path, very few people learn this passive skill.

But now, the situation is quite different. This is a real alien world. There is only one life. Even if Joshua loves fighting and enjoys the thrill of fighting, it does not mean that he wants to die. The real armor and breathing method , the double-layer defense is the double-layer hole card, which makes him stronger and less likely to be killed.

boom!

Suddenly, a slight vibration came from the south gate of the city, which interrupted the soldiers' thinking.

what happened?

Joshua turned his head and found that there was a puff of smoke slowly rising towards the sky at the gate of the city, and was blown away by the strong wind. He couldn't help wondering, Why did such a commotion happen?
