Chapter 44: Eagle Eye Skill
He treaded softly, and Zhou Yue continued to move forward in a crouched position for about 500 meters. At this time, the distance between him and the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army was only about 1 kilometer, and he finally saw the attributes of that Yellow Turban archer clearly.
"Level 6 Longbowman, belongs to the Yellow Turban Army faction, combat rating 2 stars."
"Already enveloped by Zhang Tian Shi's 1st level Protection Halo, maximum health increased by 10 points, Strength +2, Agility +1, Defense +4, Attack +1."
"Basic life value 22/22, basic endurance value 5/17 points, basic strength 10/10, basic agility 12/12, basic defense 0/0, basic attack 0/0."
"Equipped with a level 5 standard longbow, green equipment. HP +4, Strength +4, Agility +6, Defense +1, Attack +8. Durability 35/35. Range 500m. Special effect: increases range by an additional 50m."
"Equipped with Tier 2.5 Formatted Leather Armor, Green Equipment, HP +10, STR +4, AGI +2, DEF +4, Durability 35/35."
"Equipped with Level 3, Class 5 Boots, Green Equipment. HP +5, STR +3, AGI +3, DEF +1. Durability 35/35."
"Equipped with four, 1st-class standard feathered arrows ten branches, attack +5,"
"Has skill one, Eagle Eye V1 level, requires two points of stamina to release, can see through a distance of 800 meters, lasts for 15 minutes, cooldown time is 30 minutes."
"Skill 2: Piercing Arrow V1, consumes 2 points of stamina to release, increases attack by 15 and attack range by 80 meters, cooldown time is 3 seconds."
When he clearly saw the attributes of this Yellow Turban archer, Zhou Yue's heart suddenly burst into flames, and at that moment, he had an overwhelming urge to kill him! This idea was so strong that his whole body trembled with excitement.
Zhou Yue naturally wasn't going crazy, because he finally discovered that this Yellow Turban archer was actually far from being as terrifying as they had imagined. That kind of terrifying long-range attack wasn't something that came easily, but rather a special skill called Piercing Arrow, which consumed two points of stamina every time it was used. And, the reason why the archer could see so far away was completely because he possessed an Eagle Eye skill, ah! But this skill, once activated, would also consume two points of stamina. However, at this moment, that archer's stamina had already been reduced to just five points!
That is to say, once the Eagle Eye is reopened, he can only shoot a terrifying armor-piercing arrow, and then it's almost time to collapse!
What a great opportunity, how can it be missed?
However, the equipment on this archer is indeed luxurious, and can be called a BOSS-level existence. Zhou Yue understood that when this archer was upgraded to level 6, it boldly added all 10 free points to its strength value, only increasing its agility attribute by 2 points. This shows that strength value is extremely important for an archer.
But even though this archer's basic attributes are very poor, almost to the point of being naked, with those three pieces of green equipment added on, plus Zhang Tian Shi's protective halo covering him, he is absolutely extremely abnormal. Zhou Yue calculated that this guy's maximum health had already reached a terrifying 51 points, his maximum energy was 17 points, his total strength attribute had reached 23 points, his total agility attribute had reached 24 points, his total defense attribute had reached an astonishingly high 10 points, and his attack attribute was 9 points. This attack seems low, but in reality, it still needs to add the arrow's attack of 5 points, that is to say, when he shoots an arrow, the most basic attack is 15 points. If a critical hit occurs, it will be even stronger. If he uses the Piercing Arrow skill, his attack will reach 30 points or more. No wonder he can shoot through over ten people with one arrow!
After careful analysis in his mind, Zhou Yue felt that the risk he needed to take to kill this archer was still very high, not only because the archer's attributes were abnormal, but also because there were nine swordsmen and shieldmen guarding beside him.
These nine Shield Swordsmen are all level 5 and their attributes are also extraordinary.
"Level 5 Sword Shield Infantry, belonging to the Yellow Turban Army faction, combat rating 1 star."
"Already enveloped by Zhang Tian Shi's 1st level Protection Halo, maximum health increased by 10 points, Strength +2, Agility +1, Defense +4, Attack +1."
"Basic life value 20 points, energy value 7/7, basic strength 20/20, basic agility 10/10, basic defense 0/0, basic attack 1/1."
"Equipped with a level 4 standard long sword, white equipment, durability 20/20, strength +4, agility +1, defense +1, attack +3."
"Equipped with a level 2, grade 4 wooden shield, white equipment, durability 20/20, strength +2, agility +1, defense +5."
"Has skill one, slash v1 level, requires a little bit of stamina to release, cooldown time is one minute."
"Has skill 2, blocks V1 level, blocks the enemy's fatal blow, requires a little bit of stamina to release, cooldown time is one minute."
This sword shield infantry is obviously more difficult to deal with than the auxiliary infantry, with a total life value of 30 points, a maximum energy value of 7 points, a total strength attribute of 28 points, a total agility attribute of 13 points, and a defense that is also very abnormal at 10 points. The attack is 5 points, which should be considered a certain degree of defensive sandbag. If it's paired with the well-equipped and highly lethal archer, it's really extremely difficult to deal with!
But Zhou Yue only thought for a few seconds before making the decision to kill this scouting party, because although he was alone, the advantage he currently held was very obvious. His 32 agility not only completely suppressed the nine swordsmen and shieldmen, but also suppressed the archer with only 24 agility. Most importantly, the archer's stamina was already low, which meant that the extremely dangerous piercing arrow had only two chances to be released, and Zhou Yue still had confidence in dodging it!
However, Zhou Yue thought that the archer could at most shoot one armor-piercing arrow because he needed to activate Eagle Eye, otherwise he would not be able to see the direction of Zhou Yue's attack. Moreover, he still had to leave some power value to release the styled feathered arrow, otherwise without any power value, he could only rely on those nine knife-shield infantrymen to carry him away, and at that time, what awaited them was a massacre!
After making this decision, Zhou Yue first re-tied the long knife on his left hand to his back, because he was still not used to such a longer weapon. Now is the time for him to play out the advantage of 32 points of agility, and any uncomfortable behavior he must avoid! Of course, if necessary, his left hand can quickly pull out this long knife from his left shoulder!
Then Zhou Yue followed the last afterglow of the sunset, taking light steps, and rushed towards that group of Yellow Turban scouts. He dared to confirm that with the help of this moment's afterglow, if the archer didn't activate his Eagle Eye effect, he could even approach them within a hundred meters without making a sound!
That's the benefit of occupying both the key factors of timing and geography!
However, Zhou Yue didn't plan to do so. He needed that archer to activate the Eagle Eye, otherwise he would have to endure the threat of a piercing arrow!
When Zhou Yue was about 200 meters away from the vanguard, he suddenly accelerated his pace, trampling the withered grass on the ground with a loud rustling sound, just like a cheetah pouncing on its target, carrying the dazzling sunset, and making a whistling wind! The momentum is astonishing!
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yue rushed out over a hundred meters, and at this time, the momentum he created finally startled that scouting party. However, the sunset shining from the west was really too dazzling, not only could the nine knife-shield infantrymen not see clearly, even the archers with good eyesight couldn't see where the enemy was?
At this time, as the soul figure of a small team, the archer must make the most correct choice, that is to quickly lock in the enemy's trail and kill them with one shot. If not, his armor-piercing arrow will not find its target, and his subordinates will also suffer unpredictable blows!
He hesitated for only a second, then the archer swiftly made the most correct choice, consuming two points of vigor to activate Eagle Eye, drawing his bow and nocking an arrow, waiting to lock onto his target before shooting out that thunderous arrow!
