"Strength, agility, and physique have all increased, but unfortunately, if I want to train now, the time required will be greatly increased."
Looking at his own attributes, Athir sighed.
He picked up the sword again and practiced the knight's breathing method on the spot.
After completing a complete round of Knight's Breathing Method training, Athir was sweating all over, but his eyes were very bright. He sensed the data in his mind while panting.
"Continuous practice for three hundred and twenty-three times can increase strength by 0.1, agility by 0.2, and physique by 0.1..." A mechanical voice sounded in my mind.
Athir shook his head, somewhat helplessly: "It only tripled the time, which is acceptable, but the further you go, the more time you need and the fewer attributes you can increase."
He lowered his head and thought. After this period of crazy practice, he found that the limit of his breathing practice was about fifteen times a day.
This is the ideal maximum number. If there is any problem, such as physical injury or wrong action, then this number will be reduced accordingly. However, with the existence of the chip and the gradual proficiency during this period, such accidents rarely happen.
However, with more than 300 training sessions, even under the most ideal conditions, it would still take more than 20 days of training. If there were any unexpected events along the way, a conservative estimate would be that it would not be uncommon to take a month or so.
This amount of time normally doesn't seem very long, but now it seems a bit tight.
"What a pity." Thinking of the news he had heard recently, Atier sighed.
It seems that because the situation on the front line is getting more and more tense, the situation around has become more and more chaotic recently. During this period of time, Athir has heard news of several villages being massacred. It seems that bandits from other places have come here from afar, taking advantage of the fact that the nobles in this area are unable to spare any effort to come and plunder, making everyone around feel insecure, and even the nobles have no sense of security.
This is not surprising. This world is not a safe and harmonious place. There are wild beasts and bandits everywhere in the wild. Without a certain amount of military force, it is impossible to maintain local security.
In this situation, as a certain degree of order-maintainer in this area, Count Polya naturally had to take action to maintain the surrounding stability and order.
The knight apprentices like Athir, each of whom was extremely powerful, were sent out during this period, leading teams to carry out various tasks.
In just these few days, the few remaining apprentices left one by one. Now, including Athir, there are only two or three apprentices left here.
The reason why Athir can still stay here is probably because he was seriously injured on the battlefield before, so he stayed here for more time to recuperate.
Thinking of this, Atier put down the sword in his hand and replaced it with another weapon for sword training.
The situation around us is too tense now. In addition to the knight's breathing method and swordsmanship, which can quickly increase combat effectiveness, we cannot give up in order to cope with the subsequent battles.
...
More than ten days later, as Athir had expected, Count Bolia seemed to feel that his injuries had almost healed, and he ordered him to be sent out as well.
In an empty and deserted forest, Athir was riding a black horse, followed by several followers who were also riding horses.
"Is it this area?" When they arrived at a certain place, Athir dismounted, quickly scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, and asked several followers behind him.
"Yes, sir."
Seeing Atier dismount, several followers behind him also dismounted. One of the followers with a haggard face responded.
"According to the information we got earlier, there were indeed rumors that wild mountain bears had appeared in this area in the past. They had attacked several villages nearby some time ago and killed many people in the villages."
Arriving at this place, the surrounding atmosphere seemed somewhat gloomy and depressing. Several followers seemed somewhat depressed, and one of them silently told the information here.
When talking about the mountain bear, a trace of fear appeared in the man's eyes, as if he was extremely afraid of this creature.
Athir didn't care about this.
The mountain bear is a terrifying creature in this world.
In this wild world full of various dangerous beasts, there are also some particularly strong and dangerous creatures.
This mountain violent bear is one of them, and it is the overlord of the mountains. According to rumors, it can even slaughter a small army alone, and its power is terrifying.
As for the area where Athir is now, it is rumored that someone has seen the figure of a mountain bear, so Athir was specially sent here to explore.
Of course, this is just one of the obvious tasks.
In the early days, as the battle situation on the front line became increasingly stalemate, large groups of bandits swarmed into this area, looting and causing trouble in the territories of various nobles.
Hunters had seen a large number of bandits passing through this area before. They seemed to be hiding in the area and no one knew what they were planning to do.
Athir's mission, in addition to searching for the mountain bear that was in plain sight, was to find the traces of the bandit group.
It can be said that neither of these two tasks is easy to do, and once you encounter them, danger may occur at any time.
Not to mention those bandit groups whose numbers are unknown, those who dare to rob nobles openly are all true desperadoes, and their strength is often not weak when they gather together.
Mountain violent bears are also not easy to deal with. This level of life is no longer something that ordinary people can deal with. Unless the army is sent out to surround and kill it, or the top knight-level strongmen are sent to take action, it is basically impossible to deal with it.
Fortunately, Athir's mission was just reconnaissance, and he was not really required to deal with these characters.
The group took a few steps forward, and Athir quickly glanced around, observing the surrounding scene.
On the surface, his observation seemed casual, but in fact, with the existence of the chip, he only needed to take a casual glance. Through the data analysis and comparison of the chip, he could get perfect results, which was far more effective than other people's reconnaissance methods.
"A different scent residue has been detected. Through data analysis, the similarity with the mountain violent bear is 74%."
In my mind, the sound of a chip machine suddenly rang out.
Athir looked forward, where a big tree was leaning and its crown was hanging down towards the ground.
The tree looked huge, more than ten meters tall, and required two people to hug it. However, the trunk was broken in the middle, causing the upper trunk to tilt towards the ground.
About four meters from the ground, a huge dent appeared on the trunk. It was deeply sunken and looked like the claw of some beast.
"These are traces of the activities of mountain bears." Looking at the fallen tree, a middle-aged man behind Athir turned pale.
Athir's face didn't look very good at this time. He looked carefully at the traces of the big tree and analyzed the power of this mountain bear in his mind.
He was able to almost break a tree that was more than ten meters high with one palm. This kind of power, once it hit a person, would probably smash him into a meat paste, and the whole person would be shattered into pieces, leaving only a bloody mess.
Even if it was Atier, if he was hit head-on by this mountain bear, he would probably be seriously injured and would not be able to deal with the opponent at all.
"Ding! Analysis completed, the target's strength attribute is above 5.7..." The sound of the chip sounded in the mind at the same time.
The strength is at least 5.7, which is definitely a terrifying number. If an ordinary person is not a knight or a very strong knight apprentice, he would probably die if he was hit by it.
Athir's face suddenly turned ashen. This power was beyond the limit of what he could handle. Even if he was a strong knight, I'm afraid not everyone could handle it.
He raised his head and looked around carefully. The chip in his mind scanned the surroundings through his eyes, constantly collecting information about the surroundings to detect potential dangers.
The chip in the body continuously feeds the analyzed data back to the brain.
He looked forward and saw a green bulge four or five meters away. It was well concealed in the surrounding scene, but was easily discovered through comparative analysis of the chip.
Athir did not move forward, but just raised his arm slightly and aimed a crossbow quietly forward.
"Calculate the wind friction. Please correct your movement: move your arm three centimeters to the right."
As Athir moved, the chip in his mind quickly calculated various data that might affect the alignment, and then fed back the corrected actions.
This is also the reason why Athir carries a crossbow. He is a knight apprentice who has been trained for many years and has good physical stability. In addition, the chip can analyze data and calculate resistance, so he does not have to worry about aiming at all.
With a slight sound, the string on the crossbow shook slightly, and an arrow shot out at a high speed, hitting a target seven or eight meters away.
The followers beside him reacted quickly, and hurried forward to check, and retrieved the arrow and prey.
It was a small snake with a completely emerald green body, about one meter long, but its body was very thin. Its entire body, including its eyes, was emerald green, and it was difficult to identify it in the forest.
It looked like a poisonous snake, but at this moment the entire snake head was pierced by an arrow and it could no longer move.
"This is a green-eyed snake. It has a very strong venom. Even a lion will die within an hour if it is bitten."
Behind Athir, a hunter who followed as a guide identified the species of the snake and explained to Athir with some fear.
Athir nodded, pulled out his arrow, and then grabbed the snake's body.
As if it was electrocuted, at this moment, the motionless little snake suddenly moved, opened its mouth, and bit Athir fiercely.
The attendant nearby was shocked and wanted to step forward to stop it.
An arrow stained with green snake blood suddenly stabbed down, and the terrifying force cut off the entire head of the little snake in an instant and it fell to the ground.
There was no change in the expression on Athir's face. He calmly dug open the snake's body and found a green solid inside.
