Jasmine glanced at the three tentacles, frowned, and bit her tongue hard.
His hands intertwined, touching a strange handprint, and he spit out the blood in his mouth.
The third eye at the center of the brow split open, shooting out a cherry-red light that hit the spitting blood.
"Snapped!"
The blood was divided into three parts and turned into three small bloody arrows, which hit the three tentacles like lightning.
The three tentacles suddenly froze, as if they were petrified. The surface quickly turned gray, and the eyes froze. They shook and fell back into the water with a "plop".
"call-"
The group of people breathed a sigh of relief, but they all knew that this was just stalling for time. If they didn't quickly start the crystal ship and leave here, sooner or later they would be killed by the water monster with tentacles and eyes full of eyes in other ways.
"One Eye" couldn't help but look at Hulk and said: "Hulk, are you still okay? You have seen the current situation. If the energy furnace cannot be restarted, we will all die here."
"I..." Hulk hesitated.
Jasmine blinked and gave the answer for Hulk: "He can't. The energy furnace has great side effects on the body and requires high physical conditions. It was precisely because his condition was a little worse that he lost control. Now he is injured and his condition is Even worse. If you forcibly restart the energy furnace, I'm afraid that a large amount of life force will be directly extracted by the energy furnace to compensate. It won't take long before you are beaten to death... "
After listening to Jasmine's words, everyone's expressions became solemn, realizing the cruel reality they were facing.
After hearing this, Hulk opened and closed his mouth, his eyes suddenly became firm, and he shouted: "Captain, stop talking, I understand, I can do it!"
"Um?"
"'One-Eye' is right. I can't restart the energy furnace. We will all die here." Hulk clenched his fist and said, "In this case, it is better for me to sacrifice. This death is still worthwhile."
Everyone looked at Hulk with complicated expressions.
"I know that my performance in this team has always been poor, but I really want to do something, and now I have this opportunity." Hulk gritted his teeth, stood up unsteadily, and held the rudder with both hands, feeling a little stiff. He smiled and said, "Goodbye everyone, please take good care of the captain. Goodbye captain, I hope that one day, everyone can call you princess and queen in an open and honest manner. I hope that on that day, you can still remember me. This subordinate."
At the end of the sentence, Hulk's expression became a bit unhappy. He turned to look at the only outsider on the boat and said: "And you, boy, I have always looked at you with displeasure. I hope you will remember that this time it is me. I saved you with my life. You owe us a favor. I will use all my life force to send you and the captain to the other side of the lake to get what you want to get this time. I hope you will not break your promise then. —Only take half a percent!”
"Anyway, goodbye everyone!" Hulk took a deep breath for the last time, and while there were no new tentacles stretching out from the water, he held the rudder with both hands and tried desperately to restart the energy furnace.
At this time, Richard made an inappropriate sound.
"Wait a minute." Richard said.
"What?" Hulk frowned and looked at Richard.
"Have you ever thought about one thing? If you sacrifice your life to sail the boat to the other side and get what you want, how will you drive the boat back again?" Richard asked seriously, "Or, if you take it After taking the things, will they stay there forever?”
"This-" Hulk was stunned. He had a hot temper and didn't think things through carefully. The injury made him dizzy and exacerbated this tendency. He really didn't think about this problem just now.
The rest of the people, under the influence of Hulk's tragic atmosphere just now, subconsciously ignored this question. It was not until Richard raised it that they all responded, with some wonderful expressions.
"So." Richard looked at Hulk and said, "If we really do what you just said, there is a high chance that we will all die. To be wiser, we should control the crystal ship to turn around and return to the place of departure. , leaving the ruins will allow everyone except you to survive."
"But...but, you can't get the things in the ruins this way!" Hulk said.
"Yes, but what can I do?" Richard spread his hands, "I hope that if you die, all your wishes will come true, but it turns out that death cannot solve all problems."
"This..." Hulk was anxious and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say. He was trying to stabilize his injuries, but now he was so angry that he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body became sluggish.
Su rushed to Hulk and tried to treat Hulk. The others frowned and looked at Richard, not knowing what to say.
On the crystal ship, the atmosphere is weird.
However, the weird atmosphere did not last long and was broken by the water monster that had been accumulating anger underwater for a long time.
"Wow!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..."
A series of sounds appeared, and a large area of water broke open, and tentacles with eyes stretched out one after another. In the end, a total of seventeen new tentacles surrounded the crystal ship.
Seventeen!
That's one more octopus than two octopuses plus one.
If you include the three injured by Jasmine before, there are a total of twenty!
A water monster with twenty tentacles!
Everyone stared, and despair began to brew in their hearts. After all, this was really impossible to deal with.
"One Eye" frowned and touched his only eye. "Mumu" put a finger into his mouth and prepared to bite it. "Camel" bent down and covered his throat. "Ice Cube" suddenly stopped shaking. Su took a deep breath. Angry, Jasmine ran her hands through her hair...
For Jasmine and the others, they actually still have some trump cards that they haven't used yet, but they are all very costly trump cards. Even if they don't die immediately after using them, they will be in a near-death state. So they haven't used it all this time, but now it seems like there's nothing they can do if they don't use it.
Just when Jasmine and the others were preparing for a decisive blow, Richard looked at the seventeen tentacles, blinked his eyes and suddenly said: "It's a bit difficult to deal with. I really need to attack with all my strength after seeing it - okay, just think of it The promise was fulfilled.”
"Huh?" Jasmine and the others were stunned and couldn't help but look at Richard, and then their eyes couldn't help but shrink - that was the result of being stimulated by strong light.
He saw Richard's entire body suddenly light up, turning into a sun at night, and energy condensed into a torrent emerged from his body, suddenly erupting, violently blasting towards the seventeen water monster's tentacles.
"Stab it!"
With a sound, seventeen tentacles shattered directly under the impact of energy. The underwater sea monster screamed and escaped from the crystal ship in fear. Using the only three injured tentacles left, he swam a few hundred meters to the side and looked at Richard carefully on the crystal boat.
Everyone was also watching, looking at Richard in shock and disbelief.
At this time, the light on Richard's body gradually faded, and he was no longer the sun. He could more clearly distinguish that there were four small suns inlaid on his body - his left wrist, right wrist, left shoulder, and right shoulder.
"What are you..." Jasmine looked at it and asked in a voice, guessing a certain possibility, her expression became very uneasy.
"Yes." Richard nodded, knowing what Jasmine wanted to say, and said sincerely, "This is the energy furnace."
"How is this possible? Ahem!" Hulk coughed and shouted, full of disbelief.
The rest of the people didn't speak, but their expressions were similar, and they all thought it was impossible.
This is an energy furnace!
There should only be one in the entire world, the one they took out from the ruins and fused into Hulk's body.
Now, why do four new ones suddenly appear
This is a dream!
"I know you may not understand, but it's a bit troublesome to explain this matter." Richard said slowly, not wanting to be too wordy, and took a breath and said, "So, we'd better drive this crystal ship to the other side and leave. Let’s talk about the more dangerous waters, okay?”
"Uh..." everyone said, not knowing whether to agree or reject. The amount of information taken in in a short period of time was too large, and the brain was a bit "overcrowded".
Richard shrugged without politeness, walked to the rudder, stood where Hulk was before, and held it with both hands.
"Buzz!"
The four "little suns" on Richard's body suddenly lit up, and the four energy furnaces operated at high power. Energy far exceeding the previous ones was injected into the rudder, and the crystal ship shook violently and roared.
The next moment, everyone felt their feet slip. Before they could react, they were already sitting on the deck under the influence of inertia, and the crystal ship flew out like an arrow from a string.
Fast, too fast.
Compared with before, the speed of the crystal ship was not just a little bit faster, but more than ten times faster.
If the crystal boat operated by Hulk before was a wooden boat with sliding oars, the crystal boat controlled by Richard now is a motorboat.
"Brush! Brush! Brush!"
The crystal boat, which looks like a motorboat, travels in the water at high speed.
The water monster swimming several hundred meters ahead looked at the crystal ship passing by. Although he was a little scared, he still wanted to try to stop it unwillingly.
I saw the sea monster roaring towards me.
The sea monster hit the bow of the crystal ship.
The sea monster screamed.
The body of the sea monster ruptured.
The crystal ship continued to move forward without any damage, casually hitting the second water monster that appeared out of nowhere and killing it with a "bang".
The second water monster was smaller in size. Under the impact of the crystal ship, it was crushed without even letting out a scream.
The crystal ship continued to move forward after running over it, drawing a white line on the water, forming a clear channel.
All creatures in the waters in front, left and right of the channel dodge for fear of being hit by the crystal ship. Although the original crystal ship was strong and not dangerous, now at high speed, it has directly turned into a deadly death. It will be injured if it touches it, and it will die if it hits it. It can't be avoided.
In this way, with the creatures in the water avoiding them and Jasmine and her group stunned, the crystal boat roared to the other side of the water.
