In the early morning, thick fog rose above the sea again.
Today's weather seemed to be worse than yesterday when he first came to the game. Gray fog was lingering around the sailboat like a dark cloud. Xia Qi stretched out his hand towards the fog outside the boat, but he could hardly see his own fingers.
Not only that, Xia Qi discovered that even the sun that was vaguely visible yesterday was now just a blurry red shadow.
This is their second day in this game, and they don’t know how long it will take to complete the game.
Since the captain is in the room, the female mate is at the helm today.
The female mate was still crazy, as if she had drunk ten bottles of rum. She held the rudder with trembling hands and whispered nervously: "Hahaha, everyone will die today..."
When Xia Qi passed by her, the female deputy didn't even notice that he was nearby and continued to mutter.
“It didn’t satisfy them…”
The female mate became more and more nervous as she spoke. Her hand holding the rudder kept slipping back and forth, and she managed to steer the entire sailboat like a pirate ship in an amusement park. After a while, screams of players were heard on the deck. It turned out that someone was walking by the side of the boat and was accidentally thrown out by the female mate's awesome steering skills.
Xia Qi stood behind her and listened for a while, and found that the female deputy had been repeating these words.
What does it mean to be dissatisfied
Ding Dong! Route progress: +0%, total progress 10%!
Hearing this report, Xia Qi was stunned.
Why didn't the route value increase today
The only difference between today and yesterday is the appearance of a human head on the bow. Does this mean that they will only be "satisfied" if a human head appears
Just as Xia Qi was about to leave, a huge black shadow broke through the fog on the right side of the sailboat and appeared silently like a ghost. After a loud "bang", the sailboat they were on suddenly collided with the black ship that suddenly appeared.
The sailboat was already being driven upside down by the female mate. In an instant, the stern rudder in her hand began to spin wildly, and the whole sailboat instantly tilted to the left.
Countless screams of "Ah" and "Oh shit" were heard on the deck, and many players standing on the deck were knocked away by the sudden impact.
There were no pillars or anything like that around Xia Qi. Under the huge impact force, he was lifted into the air and crashed into the wall of the ship behind him.
When Xia Qi was about to hit the wall of the ship, a person suddenly appeared behind him. The girl who was not on the deck appeared behind him, hugged him tightly, and the two of them flew backwards together.
The girl's back hit the wall of the boat, making a dull "bang" sound.
He didn't say a word.
"How are you?" Xia Qi was knocked unconscious and finally got up. He was about to look back to see if he was injured, but he didn't expect that the sailboat did not capsize completely, and it turned over again with the help of the power of balance.
Xia Qi had to turn around and hug the neck of the person behind him.
The girl didn't expect him to hug her actively, her eyes darkened and she held his waist tightly with her right hand.
"ah-"
The two of them slid down from their original place again. As they fell, due to the change in posture just now, Xia Qi directly turned sideways and sat in his arms, and the two of them slid down from the deck together.
This time, they really took a ride on a pirate ship, without wearing seat belts.
The sailboat shook violently, and countless sea water fell from the sky. The two were knocked to the ground, and they rolled on the deck for many times.
After finally stabilizing, Xia Qi lay flat on the ground, with the girl pressing on the floor beside his neck and lying above his head. The postures of the two were very ambiguous.
Xia Qi: “…”
The two looked at each other, their breathing intertwined. Xia Qi cleared his throat and turned his head away uncomfortably.
He whispered, "Get out of the way."
Looking at the young man whose fair skin was stained slightly red, the girl's eyes curved and she seemed very happy. However, he had no consciousness at all to get up.
"Get out of the way." Xia Qi looked at him and raised his hand to push him.
At this moment, the girl suddenly grabbed his hands and pressed his hands to the top of his head. Then, she lowered her head and covered Xia Qi with her entire body, blocking his sight.
There was a loud "bang" sound, as if something heavy hit the flesh. Xia Qi felt the girl's body above him trembled, as if something hit her on the back. At the same time, he also let go of his hand.
"What are you doing?!" Xia Qi supported himself with his hands and moved out from under him. After he half sat up, he discovered that behind the girl there was a ship mast that was nearly as thick as a man's waist!
It turned out that the mast of the ship had just broken and fell directly towards them.
But the girl managed to withstand the heavy blow from the ship's mast.
Xia Qi gritted his teeth and climbed up from where he was. Unexpectedly, the girl lifted up the heavy mast without waiting for his help. In Xia Qi's surprised eyes, the girl directly lifted the mast and sat up by herself.
Xia Qi was stunned and asked him: "Are you okay?"
After he finished speaking, he realized that his voice was a little hoarse.
The girl slowly raised her head and saw Xia Qi looking at her with concern. His expression was a little dazed, as if he couldn't believe it.
The girl shook her head, slowly propped herself up with her hands, climbed up from where she was, and got out of the range of the mast.
Xia Qi looked at him carefully and asked with a troubled look on his face: "Did you hurt your back?"
The girl shook her head at him, indicating that she was fine.
When Xia Qi turned around, he curled the corners of his lips.
Because the two of them were dizzy from the collision, they didn't pay any attention to the black sailboat that suddenly appeared. When the female player nearby let out a shrill scream, Xia Qi gradually came to his senses and quickly looked up.
They saw a huge black shadow pressing against the side of their sailboat. It was a skeleton-type sailboat about the same size as a sailboat, with a curved beam and a high poop. There seemed to be a giant stone skeleton statue standing at the bow. It was this stone statue that hit their sailboat just now, almost causing them to capsize into the sea.
Just as Xia Qi was wondering whether this black ship belonged to the captain's enemy, the gray mist suddenly dissipated, revealing the full picture of the black ship.
The black skeleton ship was pitch black all over, its hull looked like a black skeleton, its masts were tattered, and its hanging sails were broken as if they were dug out from a wild cemetery. Xia Qi's eyes kept moving upwards, and he accidentally saw an old acquaintance again.
On the highest mast of the skeleton ship, the young master and the tough guy were squatting at the very top.
They didn't die
This surprised Xia Qi very much. He saw the young master holding the mast of the ship, his hair was messy and his eyes were red, as if he had not slept all night. The muscular man standing below him was holding a knife in his hand. He chopped down a skeleton that was climbing up with one knife. However, after the skeleton was knocked down, two more skeletons climbed up.
The macho man was struggling to support himself, and accidentally, the clothes on his chest were torn by the skeleton's claws, turning him from a greasy macho man into a half-naked greasy macho man.
Xia Qi always felt that the arrival of the Skeleton Ship was too strange, as if it came prepared.
Ding Dong! Warning, since the route progress has not increased, all survivors will be punished!
The skeleton army is about to arrive on the battlefield, please be prepared to be punished!
A familiar alarm sounded, and before Xia Qi could think about it, countless skeletons of different sizes appeared on the bow of the skeleton ship. These skeletons looked very old, and their bodies had been dried by the wind. The skeletons were covered with black and yellow blood stains, and it could be vaguely seen that the skeletons had experienced one bloody battle after another.
This group of horrible skeletons were climbing from the skeleton ship to their sailboat. They were holding all kinds of pirate weapons in their hands, and there seemed to be quite a lot of them.
As more and more skeletons boarded the sailboat, Xia Qi's hand holding the girl trembled slightly.
"Run!" When someone saw the skeleton army, they immediately stopped caring about their teammates and ran away.
At this moment, the competition between players is no longer important. The first thing they have to do is to save their own lives. Although the fewer people there are, the more resources they can control, no one wants to face such a large army of skeletons alone.
After all, high-level copies often result in group annihilation.
Then, Xia Qi rushed down the deck and searched for the female deputy in the crowd: "Where is the female deputy?!"
Xia Qi searched for a long time on the messy deck, but didn't even see the shadow of the female deputy. The other players were either knocked unconscious or disabled, and everyone said that they didn't see the female deputy at all.
Xia Qi entered the cabin again and came to the captain's door. He knocked on the door for a long time but found that no one responded.
"They did it on purpose!" Xia Qi kicked the door angrily.
However, because the captain's door was too hard, Xia Qi kicked it three times in a row, but there was no sign of it being opened.
Xia Qi kicked a few more times, but still couldn't kick it open. At this moment, he remembered that he had the broken tentacles of the prop octopus.
At that time, Broken Beard broke his door, so now we can use it to break the captain's door, right
Just as he was about to take out the broken beard, a gust of wind suddenly sounded beside him. Xia Qi quickly dodged to the side, only to see the girl rushing towards the door and kicking him mercilessly.
There were two sounds of "bang" and "hiss" at the same time, and the captain's door was kicked open by the girl, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Amidst the sawdust and gray smoke, the girl stood at the door, looking down at her torn skirt in surprise.
I saw a big hole on his white dress that reached his ankles, which spread from bottom to top. The hole even spread to his waist, turning the white dress into a cheongsam...
Xia Qi: “…”
Looking at his slightly flustered eyes, Xia Qi almost laughed.
Seeing the girl standing there with her fists clenched tightly, Xia Qi tried his best to hold back and said nothing.
"I'll go in and take a look. You wait for me outside." After saying that, Xia Qi rushed into the captain's room.
The captain's room was very spacious and luxuriously decorated. Every ornament and utensil was made of gold, even the toothpick was pure gold. Moreover, every piece of furniture seemed to be specially made for his tall stature. Except for a particularly large fish tank covered with black cloth, there were basically no fragile items in the room.
Xia Qi searched the captain's room and found that it was empty, with only the window on the balcony open.
Xia Qi looked out from the open window and found that the captain and his female mate were sitting on a small boat on the sea not far away. One of them lowered his head and held up a large shield, while the other was rowing hard with an oar, trying to get away from their sailboat, wishing they could row ten miles away.
"These two old thieves!" Xia Qi couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
In the escape game, except for Margaret who was killed by the old earl and turned into a female ghost, he had never seen an NPC who was not vicious. These two NPCs once again refreshed Xia Qi's cognition. When it comes to thieves, the old earl would probably feel ashamed in front of them.
He looked down again and found several hooks outside the captain's window, on which fishing boats should have been hanging. It seemed that the two men had already prepared to abandon the ship and escape with them on their backs.
"Let's go quickly too."
Xia Qigang walked to the door when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He went back to the fish tank and untied the black cloth on it.
"Pearl fish and pearl reef." Xia Qi was very surprised after seeing what was in the fish tank. This was the task assigned to them by the captain and the female mate when they arrived on the ship on the first day.
It turned out that the captain kept all the pearl fish and pearl reefs in his room. He counted all the pearl fish and found that the captain had not eaten any of the fish. In addition, there were seven or eight kinds of fish food placed near the fish tank. It seemed that the captain took very good care of these fish.
So, does the captain really intend to sell these pearl fish and pearl reefs for money
However, Xia Qi glanced at the captain's room again and thought, the captain is so rich, but he is willing to work hard as a fishmonger to serve these fish. It really feels a bit strange.
After Xia Qi finished looking at the fish tank, he interrupted the girl who was repairing her skirt and took her hand to walk out of the cabin.
At this time, the players on the deck were already fighting with the skeletons, and the young master and the tough guy had returned at some point.
On the deck, the macho man was fighting and retreating at the same time, brandishing his single-edged sword with great vigor, causing Xia Qi to seriously doubt his former profession.
The young master stood behind the macho man, holding a purple magic wand in one hand. The tip of the magic wand had a pair of strange wings, which were spewing out purple mist. The skeletons that were accidentally contaminated by the purple mist suddenly turned into drunken skeletons, swaying in place as if they had drunk rum, and were still hacked and killed at will by the macho man.
Seeing the magic wand that looked very similar to his true love's magic wand, Xia Qi's eyes jumped and he took a few steps forward.
When Xia Qi saw the young master's magic wand for the first time, he felt it was very familiar. He squinted his eyes and looked forward, trying to see clearly the magic wand in the young master's hand.
On the top of the young master's magic wand, there is a small purple heart, with a pair of bat wings on both sides of the heart, and a small red halo on the top...
Is this the sister model of the True Love Magic Wand
Or is it a rival version of the Magic Wand of True Love
Xia Qi was extremely confused.
After he thought silently for a moment, he suddenly realized.
In the previous copy, after he took out the magic wand of true love and used it on the three members of the red team, the young master basically never appeared again, nor did he confront him face to face.
In this copy, the young master also directly stated that he did not want to be his enemy.
Could it be that the two magic wands conflicted with each other? Or was it that both of their magic wands possessed powerful strength, and the young master was also afraid of him
Just as Xia Qi was getting closer, the young master looked back vigilantly. When he saw Xia Qi behind him, he quickly hid the magic wand in his sleeve, turned around and pulled the strong man from the bow to the stern.
Xia Qi didn't have time to greet the young master. He rushed to the fishing boat closest to him and said to everyone, "The captain and the female mate have already escaped on the boat. Everyone, jump off the boat quickly and remember to use something to cover yourself!"
After reminding everyone, he was the first to throw the fishing boat overboard, then picked up two empty wooden barrels and threw them onto the fishing boat. Finally, he pulled the girl, held the rope on the boat, and climbed down.
After arriving on the fishing boat, many players had already put down their fishing boats and hurriedly climbed under the sailboat.
Seeing the skeletons gathering towards the boat, Xia Qi rowed hard, trying to get away from the sailboat and head towards the captain and the female mate.
“Whoosh—”
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of wind behind him, as if some sharp weapon was breaking through the air.
In a flash, the girl raised her hand and pushed the side of his boat, and the rusty arrow that just flew past just brushed past the girl's hair, and two strands of black hair fell down.
The girl pressed Xia Qi tightly under her body and blocked him with her back.
As all the players had entered the water, crossbowmen suddenly appeared among the skeleton sailors, and the crossbowman skeletons started shooting indiscriminately in their direction.
The remaining skeletons holding big knives stood by the boat, waving their bony arms with their claws and teeth bared, their jaws constantly biting the air, and a few skeletons had broken their own teeth, as if they were roaring angrily at them.
However, even though the skeleton was very angry, he did not abandon the remaining fishing boats and catch up.
Xia Qi looked at the group of skeletons in confusion. There were obviously many fishing boats on the sailboat, but they just stood on the sailboat and roared. Judging from the fact that the skeletons could set up ladders, wield swords, and shoot crossbows by themselves, they did not seem to be completely without intelligence.
"Could it be that they can't touch water?" Xia Qi guessed, looking at the skeletons showing off on the boat.
If these skeletons could go into the water, would it be necessary to shoot arrows at them from a distance
Xia Qi pursed his lips. No wonder the captain and the female deputy ran away with their shields raised. They not only knew that the skeleton ship was coming, but also knew that skeletons could not go into the water, and that there were crossbowmen among the skeletons.
“Swish, swish, swish—”
While they were talking, dense rusty arrows continued to shoot at them. Xia Qi pushed the girl's shoulders away and turned over to sit up.
Just as the girl was puzzled, Xia Qi directly picked up the empty wine barrel and put it on her head, and then covered himself with the wine barrel.
Originally, the girl was planning to pull Xia Qi into the water, but Xia Qi hit her on the head with a wine barrel.
The girl sat silently in the wine barrel, feeling extremely depressed.
"call out-"
"call out-"
"call out-"
Several rusty arrows were shot at their wooden barrels again. However, since they were already far away from the sailboat, the rusty arrows failed to penetrate the wine barrels on their bodies.
The girl gritted her teeth secretly and thought, this rusty arrow is so useless, how come it hasn't broken their wooden barrels after shooting for such a long time
Unlike the girl, Xia Qi, who was hiding in the wine barrel, was very worried. The skeletons had been shooting at them for most of the day. He was already feeling hungry, and his throat felt like it was burning due to lack of water. If he continued like this, he might not be able to hold on.
"ah!"
Just as Xia Qi was thinking this, another scream was heard near him.
