Chapter 22
In the game Hero Continent, the combat mechanism is somewhat complicated.
First, it is divided into combat status and non-combat status.
Many profession-specific skills and functions can only be used in non-combat situations.
For example, you can restore your status by eating and drinking, or you can use stealth as a thief.
Once you enter a combat state, you cannot use the stealth skill - those who have previously entered stealth are not included in this list.
You can only continue to use it after you are out of combat.
Second point, combat status is also divided into two types.
One is with monsters, and the other is with players.
When fighting a single monster, as long as you kill the monster, you will immediately leave the battle.
When dealing with a group of monsters, they will form a cooperative mode. Unless they are all killed, the player will always be in a state of combat.
Unless you can run some distance away from the sight of the monsters, you can escape from the combat state.
But if it's a dungeon... then it's almost impossible to get out of the combat state except by dying or by certain means, such as running out of the dungeon.
Players and monsters are different.
When it comes to individual players, they are all the same, and they will exit the combat state after killing them.
However, in group battles, once players engage in combat, if they want to leave the combat state, they need to wait for 6 seconds and cannot continue fighting, nor can they accept reinforcements and treatments from others.
In this way, you can leave the combat state after 6 seconds.
In other words, before the orc hunter was directly killed by Zhang Yuan, it was because he did not enter the team's coordination mode. After being killed, Zhang Yuan re-entered the non-combat state and could naturally enter stealth directly.
Although the thief on the side is not far away, he still remains in non-combat mode because he has done nothing.
After Zhang Yuan killed the thief again, the other orc players still hadn't arrived, so he exited combat mode and re-entered stealth mode.
Of course, apart from that, Zhang Yuan was able to enter stealth so easily because of other reasons.
Normal thieves' stealth skills also have a 4-second cooldown, which means that after breaking away from stealth, if you want to sneak again, you need to wait 4 seconds.
But Zhang Yuan's ability is enhanced stealth, and his cooldown time is only 2 seconds, so he will dazzle in the eyes of the orc players for two seconds before entering stealth.
"This warrior is really smart."
Zhang Yuan looked at the warrior who released the battle roar and sighed slightly in his heart.
The warrior shouted this skill, which blessed all the orc players, which temporarily put them in a collaborative mode.
Under such circumstances, once Zhang Yuan attacks anyone, even if it is an instant kill, he will still be in combat status. Unless he waits 6 seconds to exit combat status, he cannot use stealth skills.
Two orc warlocks were unleashing fire rain spells on all sides, hoping to knock Zhang Yuan out with their luck.
Regarding this point, Zhang Yuan was quite nervous. After all, this kind of random method was indeed difficult to guard against.
It could be done if he stayed away, but that would go against his idea.
"Shaman, save people!"
An orc player shouted.
After completing the corresponding professional tasks at level 10, healing professions such as priests and shamans can gain the ability to resurrect.
In non-combat mode, it takes ten seconds to resurrect the corpse of a dead player, eliminating the time of running away.
Zhang Yuan quietly followed their figures and carefully observed his surroundings.
Watching the shaman chanting a spell, after waiting for 6 seconds, no one else made any move.
Zhang Yuan confirmed that the orc players have exited the collaborative mode.
So I found a direction that was more suitable for escaping, and launched an enhanced ambush attack, killing the shaman instantly.
Then, he saw the distorted faces of the orc players up close.
After saying hello to them and taking two steps back, he entered the stealth state again.
The next second, a ball of fire rain hit the area where he was, but due to the characteristics of the fire rain technique, it would take 2 seconds to cause damage, so Zhang Yuan walked away and got another kill.
"Damn it, the shaman is resurrected!"
There were only two shamans in the orc team. The dead one was cursing in the regional channel. The other shaman raised his hand helplessly and began to revive.
"Look around, don't let that thief come out to kill again!"
The soldiers and others were extremely angry. They never imagined that in full view of everyone, this thief would dare to kill the shaman in front of their eyes.
This time, they focused all their attention on making sure to kill the thief the moment he appeared!
Then guard his body for ten thousand years!
With such angry expressions, everyone continued to release various directional skills beside the shaman. At the same time, the warriors also roared, allowing the team to enter a collaborative mode.
As long as you do not enter combat, the collaborative mode will not affect the release of resurrection.
But at this moment, Zhang Yuan's figure appeared in front of everyone again.
He once again brazenly killed the only remaining shaman and appeared upright in front of everyone.
At this moment, the orc players were not angry but laughing.
This time, they were always in collaborative mode. Killing the shaman was really impressive, but at this moment, he was already in combat mode.
There is no possibility for him to escape again!
But the next second, under the distorted smiles of everyone, Zhang Yuan's figure disappeared again.
The assassin's treasure box effect is triggered. Kill the target in combat and re-enter stealth state.
"Asshole, damn it, how is that possible!"
Someone roared angrily, why did this thief suddenly disappear when he was clearly in a fighting state?
The first thing that comes to their mind is that the other person is cheating.
But in this era when virtual games were just born, the possibility of cheating has not yet appeared.
"The other party probably has some special skills or items that cause this situation to occur."
An orc player made a guess and gave a very reasonable explanation.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The assassin's treasure box in Zhang Yuan's hand is such an item.
"Let them hurry up and come over to resurrect their corpses."
The orc warrior sighed helplessly, but before he could say anything, he heard his companion yell.
"not good!"
The orc warrior heard the sound and looked around, his pupils couldn't help but dilate.
Not far away, six or seven night elf players appeared there, frantically recovering.
He turned around and saw that all the corpses lying on the ground had disappeared, and the corpses of those who were guarding were all resurrected.
"Suffered."
