Chapter 29: Aquaman 10

Views:

The day of bloody fighting finally passed, and when the sun gradually set, the skeletons left the sailboat in groups and climbed back onto the skeleton ship.

After a while, the skeleton ship started to move, then slowly disappeared into the fog and never to be seen again.

Xia Qi and the girl had been hiding in the wine barrel. As the walls of the barrel were very thick, even after being hit by more than thirty or forty arrows, the two were still intact.

But since he hadn't eaten all day, Xia Qi felt a little hungry and his lips were very dry.

However, apart from Xia Qi and the girl, others were more unlucky than them.

Although they boarded the fishing boat in time and were not hacked to death by the skeletons, there was no shelter on the boat. Once the skeleton crossbowmen were in place, they had to jump into the sea to avoid the rusty arrows.

Although jumping into the sea can avoid the flying rusty arrows, it makes it impossible to breathe, so they have to swim up to breathe after a while.

Since the skeletons on the skeleton ship were all sailors in their previous lives, they are savage and cunning by nature. As soon as the players show their heads on the sea, the crazy skeleton crossbowmen will raise their crossbows and shoot at their heads, as if they will not stop until they kill them.

Therefore, this group of players suppressed their physiological needs to the minimum and could only swim up to take a breath every once in a while.

All the players had been soaking in the water for a whole day, their skin had turned white, and being in the water quickly consumed their energy and water, so each of them was exhausted.

Fortunately, the skeletons began to retreat one after another after the sun set. If they had been left soaking in the water for a whole night, even an iron man would not have been able to withstand it.

The punishment is over, and we ask the survivors to work hard to improve the route progress!

"Damn it!" a player cursed in the water.

After the skeleton ship left, the captain and the female mate also rowed their boats and slowly returned to the sailboat.

The others had already been unable to hold on any longer and had to cling to their own boats and return to the sailboat.

Xia Qi and the girl's fishing boat arrived last. The girl climbed up first. While he was leaving, Xia Qi bent down and carefully picked up the two strands of the girl's black hair that had fallen on the boat during the day.

He twisted his black hair carefully, and the system actually displayed a familiar item name.

Item name: His hair

Level: No level

Other explanations: You are married and will love each other forever! Use your hair to tie it together with his hair, and you will love each other forever!

Xia Qi: “…”

Ignoring the system's nonsense, Xia Qi put the black hair into his system backpack.

After boarding the sailboat, everyone who had experienced a great battle with skeletons complained bitterly. The player with the cooking artifact simply cooked a pot of seafood for everyone and invited everyone to have a quick meal and that was it.

Because Xia Qi protected them today, the male player of the cooking artifact cooked him an extra bowl of cute little shells, and said very considerately: "Your girlfriend loves it."

Xia Qi: “…”

After dinner, everyone had no desire to communicate with each other and went downstairs in groups to their rooms to rest. Many of them were injured and were trading with other players who had medicine.

This made Xia Qi secretly pay attention, and he planned to pay more attention to material issues in the future and prepare some daily food and medicine for himself.

After everyone came downstairs one after another, the young master was carried down the corridor by the muscular man.

The young master looked very tired, his face was as pale as a ghost, his pair of dark eyes were slightly drooped, his expression was no longer as innocent as usual, and seemed a bit cold and gloomy.

The muscular man's stomach and arms were covered with bloody scratches from the skeleton's claws, but he still insisted on holding the young master. He was extremely careful when he walked, as if he was afraid of bumping the young master.

Seeing this, Xia Qi thought, although the young master has a bad character, he is good at using people. Although the tough guy looks tall and brainless, he is the most suitable teammate for him in the whole game.

Just as the young master and the tough guy arrived at the door of the room, the tough guy saw the broken wooden bed in the room and couldn't help but roared: "Why did the wooden bed collapse? Who the hell did it? I'm not done with her!"

Xia Qi: “…”

Girl: “…”

The girl pulled Xia Qi's sleeve guiltily.

Xia Qi also prepared to retreat, so as to avoid being discovered by the young master and the tough guy that he was the one who broke their wooden bed.

The muscular man cursed a few words at the door, and then spoke softly to the young master, as if he was afraid of startling him: "Lin Qing, sit down for a while, I'll make a bed for you."

"Yeah." The young master looked up at the macho man and nodded obediently.

At this time, Tony, who heard the noise, came out of the room and laughed, "Wow, you are so lucky to have come back alive. I thought you had died in the sea."

Because his hair was not dry yet, Tony's originally cool Korean bangs all hung down, divided into three soft strands covering his forehead, looking like three strands of hair emerging from the water.

As the young master looked like he was about to die, Tony was very happy and wished that the young master would die suddenly on the spot and be sent to the crematorium tonight.

"Stop it." The macho man didn't expect Tony to come out again to ruin the young master's mood, so he reached out and pushed him away.

Just as the tough guy and Tony were pushing each other, the young master forced himself to stand up by holding on to the wall, raised his eyebrows and said to Tony: "Brother Wang protected me, does this make you unhappy?"

Although his voice was weak, it still reached Tony's ears clearly.

"You, you, you! Lin Qing, you bitch!" Tony was furious when he heard that. He didn't even have time to rest and raised his hand to grab the young master's face.

The tough guy hurriedly stepped in front of the young master, slapped Tony's hand away, frowned and shouted angrily: "Can you please stop making trouble today and let people have a good rest?"

"Hmph!!!" Tony felt unhappy when he saw the two of them huddled together. He was the only one left and his teammates were not the ones who liked to cause trouble, so he had no way of fighting against the two of them.

Tony withdrew his hand in indignation. When he saw the man with the gold chain passing by not far away, his eyes suddenly turned and a plan came to his mind. He put his hands on his waist and yelled like a shrew, "Did you lead the skeleton ship that hit us today? You are so cruel that you made us be chased by skeletons for a whole day! Everyone, come out quickly and drive these culprits off the ship!"

"Don't slander me!" Hearing such shameless words, the tough guy gasped in fear and was so angry at Tony that his whole body was shaking.

Everyone had suffered a great crime at the hands of the Skeleton Army today, and they were already full of anger with nowhere to vent. When they heard Tony's words as if he was speaking for everyone, the man with the gold chain actually stopped and said to the tough guy and the young master, "You two should explain what happened today clearly, otherwise I won't allow you to board the ship."

The young master didn't expect Tony to be so troublesome. A hint of impatience appeared in his gloomy eyes. He said to the tough guy, "Go in first."

He had messed with many people, but he didn't expect that he would capsize in the gutter for the first time. Unfortunately, not everyone can cut the Gordian knot like Xia Qi. Tony is obviously a big scoundrel. He used to do some honey trap business. How could he let it go with the young master

"Hmph, don't even think about leaving!" Tony blocked the two people's door and screamed unyieldingly, "If you don't give us an explanation, we will never let you in!"

"Yes, yes." Seeing someone taking the lead, players from other rooms came out to support Tony.

However, there were still some people who did not want to offend the young master, a senior player. The female player said in a gentle voice, "It is not necessary to give an explanation. You just need to explain the matter clearly. After all, everyone is worried that they will encounter skeletons again tomorrow."

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, the young master had to cough softly, raised his chin towards the tough guy, and said, "You say."

The tough guy scratched his head in annoyance and said to everyone, "We encountered a group of salmon just after we entered the water. The salmon knocked us far away and made us lost at sea. Later, we saw a boat nearby. After we boarded it, we found that it was a skeleton ship. However, we really didn't lead the skeleton ship here, and we didn't want to harm you."

"Really?" The man with the gold chain was very unconvinced. How could it be so easy to encounter a skeleton ship

They must have also concealed the conditions of death.

The tough guy took a step forward and said impatiently, "Believe it or not, if you insist on driving us away, don't blame me for being rude."

Everyone can see the tough guy's abilities, not to mention that he and the young master managed to survive the entire day on the skeleton ship and came back alive, which means that they are not ordinary people.

Since the Lin family has extensive influence in the central space, although everyone minds the young master and the tough guy getting on board, they are unwilling to offend them.

The tough guy and the young master had already said this, so there was nothing more to say and everyone had to go back for the time being.

After the macho man carried the young master into the room, the female deputy came to the cabin corridor and gave the young master and the macho man each a box, saying that it was the reward they had not received yesterday.

The tough guy asked a few questions about the origin of the box, and when he heard that everyone had taken it, the two had no choice but to accept the box hesitantly.

"What's in the box? Why does it feel like a stone?" Before the tough guy closed the door, Xia Qi heard these words coming from next door.

Xia Qi touched his box in confusion and thought, could it be that the contents of each box are different

Because the young master and the tough guy had returned, Xia Qi had to share a room with the girl.

One of them sat on the bed, and the other sat on a chair. They looked at each other. The girl looked at him straight in the eyes, and her meaning was very clear.

Xia Qi took the initiative to stand up and said, "I'll sleep on the floor."

The girl hurriedly grabbed his hand and pointed to the wooden bed behind her.

"No, you are a 'girl', so you should sleep on the bed." Xia Qi glanced at him and said meaningfully.

Girl: …

He meant sleeping together.

However, the arm is no match for the thigh. Under Xia Qi's insistence, the girl finally slept alone in bed.

Xia Qi casually spread a blanket on the ground and lay down on it.

This time, because he was too tired, he fell asleep almost as soon as he closed his eyes.

Just like yesterday, as soon as he fell asleep, he heard a familiar song in his ears.

In the dream, a man's sad voice was heard singing, but this time, the voice seemed to be closer to him. Infected by the singing, Xia Qi fell into the dream again.

This time, he seemed to be in a large iron cage covered with blood. Xia Qigang took a step forward and felt something dripping on his face.

He raised his hand and touched it, and found it covered in blood!

"This is!!!"

He raised his head suddenly, only to meet a bloody head with its eyes gouged out.

The eyes of the head were empty, the skin on his face was peeled off, and his face was covered with blood. At this moment, the corners of his mouth were stretched to his ears, blood was constantly oozing from the corners of his mouth, and he was smiling at him viciously.

Xia Qi held his breath and quickly took a step back.

Unexpectedly, after he stepped back, his vision became wider, and then he realized that there was not just one head above his head, but clearly many!

On the top of the iron cage, there were countless hollowed-out bloody human heads hanging densely. They had different faces of men, women, young and old. The only thing in common was that their heads were shaved, their eyes were hollowed out, and their bright red mouths were almost stretched to their ears. They all smiled at him, making an indescribable weird laugh.

"Hehehe..."

The heads smiled happily, and the corners of their mouths widened wider and wider until they cracked and bled. Finally, they made a sound like they were crying with laughter.

Just as Xia Qi was struggling in his dream, late at night, a rustling sound was heard outside the door again, like a snake-like animal sliding across the floor.

I only heard the familiar, hoarse voice from last night sounding again firmly:

"Let me see which little darling has it?"

The octopus stopped outside the door of the first room in the corridor.

There was a loud bang as the door was broken open, and the octopus seemed to extend its tentacles and slip into the first room.

At this time, the sound of the box being opened was heard, and the octopus laughed excitedly: "I found my little baby! It's you!"

Then he began to sing the strange tune again and walked slowly away down the corridor.

As he climbed the stairs, his tentacles seemed to be dragging something heavy, making "dong", "dong", and "dong" sounds on the stairs.

After struggling in a horrible dream for a whole night, Xia Qi slowly got up in the morning, covering his aching head.

Sure enough, he found himself lying on a wooden bed.

He frowned helplessly and turned over from the wooden bed, but unexpectedly he touched nothing.

Looking at the dent on the cushion beside him, Xia Qi was speechless for a while.

He actually fled for fear of punishment

He slowly got up and ran to the bathroom under the cabin to wash up. Just as he was about to climb upstairs, he heard hurried footsteps and a familiar shout: "Ah, why is my teammate dead!"

Xia Qi was very familiar with this familiar shout. He knew it was from the man with the gold chain who lived in the first room.

"Wang Ke's teammate died?" Xia Qi rubbed his eyebrows. He vaguely remembered that the player who teamed up with the man with the gold chain was a mid-level player. He was quite strong and had the same type of sturdy figure as the man with the gold chain.

Xia Qi climbed up the stairs in a hurry, and just when he stepped onto the deck, he bumped into someone unexpectedly. He saw the girl holding two big coconuts in each hand, looking at him proudly, as if waiting for his praise.

"Coconut?" Xia Qi looked at him expectantly, and then said, "You go to the kitchen first, I'll go up and take a look."

The girl nodded and went downstairs excitedly holding the coconut.

After arriving on the deck, Xia Qi followed the crowd to the bow.

A bloody head appeared at the place where the human head was placed last time. Judging from the terrifying face of the head, it was the teammate of the man with the gold chain.

Exactly the same as the human head that appeared on the first day, this head had its throat pierced by a sharp weapon, and its eyes were gouged out, its hair was stripped off, its tongue was pulled out, and all its teeth were smashed.

"Ah, what on earth is going on!" The man with the gold chain didn't cry like the female player, but he was still very emotional. He collapsed and shouted, "I slept very soundly last night and didn't feel anything. I didn't even know when he left the house!"

When the others heard what the man with the gold chain said, they also became nervous. Someone suddenly said:

"He died today, who will die tomorrow..."

Another female player screamed, "Stop talking! I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

"Are you capable of not falling asleep? It looks like all of us are asleep!"

Everyone looked so unhappy that the coconuts and seafood that appeared on the bow of the ship no longer attracted their attention.

Xia Qi watched on the boat for a while and planned to go into the kitchen to have breakfast first.

Suddenly, he ran into the female mate coming down the captain's stairs. The female mate even greeted him cheerfully and said, "Good morning, eat more today."

Xia Qi looked at the back of the female deputy who almost jumped up and frowned in confusion.

It seems that they won't encounter skeleton ships again today.

When she arrived at the kitchen, the girl had already cleaned the two coconuts. They were lying on a plate in pieces, looking like they had been split open by hand. All the water in the coconuts had drained out, leaving only the white coconut meat on the inner layer.

Xia Qi: “…”

In any case, this coconut was specially prepared for him. Wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't eat it

Xia Qi sat down, picked up an iron spoon, scooped a spoonful of coconut meat, and praised reluctantly: "It smells so good."

For some reason, the coconuts that were transported to the ship tasted ordinary and even a little sour. Xia Qi thought that it might be because of the escape game, not all coconuts tasted as good as in the real world.

The girl stood aside, watching Xia Qi eat coconut with a smile on her face, a look of satisfaction on her face.

After the two finished their breakfast, they returned to the boat. The bloody head had been thrown away, but the players were in a panic. They no longer talked to each other and looked around and at others vigilantly.

Unexpectedly, the atmosphere among the players changed overnight. When the young master and the tough guy stepped onto the deck, the atmosphere dropped to a terrifying freezing point.

Everyone deliberately stayed away from them. No one was willing to talk to them, completely isolating the two of them. Even the male player with the cooking tool was unwilling to share the seafood with them.

"If others ignore us, then we'll just go eat by ourselves." The young master has always been thick-skinned and is not affected by others at all.

Fortunately, the young master had enough supplies. I don’t know what the two of them ate when they went downstairs, but after eating, they appeared in front of everyone full of energy again.

Since they had already boarded the boat yesterday, everyone had to swallow their anger and there was no way to kick them off.

Xia Qi had no time to observe the young master and the tough guy. He walked over to the female mate who was driving the boat and asked, "How is the captain's health?"

"Oh, he's much better now. Why are you asking about him?" The female mate had a smile on her face and held the rudder firmly with both hands. She no longer looked flustered as she had yesterday when she turned the boat into a pirate ship.

"The captain didn't look well yesterday, so I wanted to ask about his health." Xia Qi replied.

"It's okay, the captain is much better now. He will come out to steer the ship in person this afternoon." The female mate whistled.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, the captain came out to drive the boat himself.

He still had a glove on his right hand, with the middle finger empty. However, when he saw Xia Qi on the deck, he immediately looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"Go away quickly, don't let me see you!" The captain hurriedly took two steps back and almost fell on the stable deck.

Xia Qi was about to reach out to help him, but the captain was shocked and angry, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't touch me!"

After saying this, the captain ran away in a hurry.

Xia Qi touched his face. He had only punched the captain ten times. Was he that scary

Like the female mate, the captain's mood also became very good after he took the helm.

For some unknown reason, the weather at sea became unusually clear today, and the fog was blown away a little by the wind. Xia Qi stretched his hand into the fog and could still vaguely see the outline of his hand.

Ding Dong! Route progress: +40%, total progress 50%!

"Oh shit! The route progress has also increased!" The players breathed a sigh of relief. Although some people died, at least they increased their progress value.

As the sun was about to sink into the sea level again, someone breathed a sigh of relief: "The skeleton ship didn't come today, and the route is correct."

"If those skeletons come again, I might die."

The man with the gold chain looked uneasy and nervous as he stood in the corner, saying, "What's the point of not having the Skeleton Ship? People will die at night..."

"Don't say depressing things. No one may die tonight." Someone comforted himself.

Although everyone has guessed that the death is related to the progress of the route, no one is willing to say it out loud.

"Of course you're not afraid. You live in the third room! And I live in the first room. This is not fair!" said the man with the gold chain irritably. After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and walked downstairs.

After Xia Qi and the girl finished dinner, they went downstairs to their room, but unexpectedly found someone sitting in their room.

The man with the gold chain sat on the edge of their bed and said in a very domineering manner: "I want this room today, you can stay in the first one."

Xia Qi's room was the innermost room at the end of the corridor. Something unexpected happened yesterday when the man with the gold chain and his teammates were staying in the first room. Therefore, the man with the gold chain determined that the room number was wrong.

Xia Qi was so angry that he laughed at his familiar arrogant face. Although he knew that the death at night might not be related to the room, he would never swallow his anger when someone occupied his room.

"You chose the room yourselves. You also said that the first room has good ventilation. Why do you suddenly want to change with me now?" Xia Qi said mercilessly.

"Hey, you little brat, don't refuse my toast and then drink a forfeit." The man with the gold chain stood up suddenly, raised his right arm with a green dragon painted on it, and waved his fist at Xia Qi, full of threat.

"What? You want to fight me again?" Xia Qi took a step forward and sneered at the man with the gold chain.
