"Ding-"
The four of them just recognized that it was at sea, and before they had time to think about anything else, a new reminder was updated in the .
"Is this the beginning?" Qian Ai looked at the options on his arm, and the second monk was puzzled, "Go to the coordinate point by boat?"
Kuang Jinxin glanced at the stern of the boat inadvertently and made a new discovery: "Captain, telescope!"
Ever since Xu Wang was elected, Kuang Jinxin has updated his name to save face. He's a sweet little padded jacket. If it weren't for the long road and the tight finances, Xu Wang would have wanted to give him a red envelope as a repayment fee.
It was a single-barrel copper telescope, and the style of the entire sailboat was very consistent, looking like a comeback from the Pirates of the Caribbean.
Although the sea is calm, there are always some fine waves, gently shaking the hull. This sense of instability, sitting and standing is fine, but once you walk on the deck, it becomes obvious. Unless you are a person who has been on the boat all the year round, it is difficult to walk on the ground.
The four of them went to the stern together. In the end, Wu Sheng, who walked the most steadily, arrived first, so he naturally became the first person to watch from afar.
Xu Wang, Kuang Jinxin, and Qian Ai were a step late. They only had to raise their hands to block the sunlight and look hard with their naked eyes.
Not to mention, the naked eye is not completely useless. You can still see the masts and sails of some distant ships. Although it is a bit blurry, the outlines should be similar to them, scattered on the sea level...
Anyone else
Xu Wang was shocked, and immediately asked Wu Junshi, who had the clearest view, "What did you see?"
"Lighthouse." Wu Sheng said.
"Lighthouse?" Xu Wang blinked hard, and looked again, it was indeed a ship, where did the lighthouse come from
"One for each of the east, south and west." Wu Sheng turned the monocular, and the lens barrel panned 180° without stopping, and continued to turn to the bow of the boat, that is, behind the four people, "There is another one to the north."
"Is it far?" Xu Wang asked.
"Very far." Wu Sheng said.
"Then can you adjust the focal length and take a closer look." Xu Wang probably knew the source of the deviation between his and Wu Sheng's conclusions.
Wu Sheng was rarely obedient, and probably felt that it would be safer to look around, so he adjusted the telescope neatly and pulled his sight back closer.
The so-called "close" is already a distance that is barely visible to the naked eye, but with a telescope, it is clear at a glance.
"There are colleagues." Wu Sheng reported directly.
Xu Wang, who was mentally prepared, nodded, and then looked at the looming little white sails, and felt that the drums of war were beating on it.
Colleagues are enemies.
Gao Shuai Shou Bai made them understand this sentence with practical actions.
"Isn't it, there are so many people in this level?" Qian Ai finally saw the little white dots after being reminded by his teammates. It is too scattered, in all directions, and with the waves rising and falling, it will disappear for a while. But no matter what the exact number is, if one ship is a team, and if these teams have not yet submitted papers, then the fierceness of the future competition can be seen.
Kuang Jinxin leaned over to Wu Sheng, holding the last trace of fantasy: "Can you see the people on the boat? Could it be an NPC?"
He really doesn't like fighting, he doesn't like it at all, why can't we all sit down and have tea and talk
Wu Sheng didn't answer whether it was true or not. The monocular was set in one direction for a while under his operation. Finally, his eyes left the telescope and looked at his teammates: "Who will help me identify it."
The three teammates didn't know why: "Huh?"
"I saw that Gao Shuai was thin and white." Wu Sheng said, "I don't want to admit that I am dazzled, but I don't want to accept this reality."
Captain Xu volunteered to step forward and took over the lookout task. He didn't need to move the binoculars, and it was clear when he put his eyes on it: "Damn, it's true."
"Aren't they supposed to be at the first level?" Qian Ai pushed aside the captain and stepped forward for identification, and quickly recognized the cruel reality.
The three teammates were all appraised, and Jin Xin didn't waste that much effort. He just thought it was strange: "Even if they passed the first level again yesterday, they should go back to the second level today, so why did they come to the third level?"
"Unless..." Wu Sheng looked at the boundless sea thoughtfully, "This is not the third level."
The waves suddenly surged, and the sailboat jolted along with it. The four of them were able to stand still at first, but soon developed to the point where they had to grab the railing hard to stabilize their bodies.
"They're going over there!" Qian Ai grabbed the railing with one hand and the telescope with the other. He leaned against the telescope stand with his knees for stability, and stuck one eye on the lens barrel to detect the "enemy".
"Which side?" Wu Sheng asked quickly.
Qian Ai didn't have a military advisor, so he couldn't tell the difference between east, west and northwest, so he could only use the arm holding the telescope and waved his big arm: "Over there—"
Where is that over there
Xu Wang and Kuang Jinxin were dumbfounded by this answer, but fortunately they had a human compass.
"East," Wu Sheng identified the direction in seconds, looked down at the line that was still rolling on his arm, "Please choose a route," and made up his mind, "They chose Dongbaozangtan."
Why, in terms of time, is absolutely impossible to pass the second level, tall handsome and thin white, can appear here and have the same right to choose the route as they do
Xu Wang couldn't think of an answer, but he had already made up his mind: "Let's go there too."
"Uh," Qian Ai loosened the binoculars, and turned back with a rare sympathy, "but it's not very authentic to pick up the wool of a sheep."
According to the urine nature of "owl", there must be competition on the same route. They have already rubbed the tall handsome and thin white on the ground once, and they are still chasing after another place.
Xu Wang was in a delicate mood, and unilaterally defining the other party as a "fat sheep" would be more hateful.
Stepping up to take the binoculars, he continued to track the tall, handsome, thin and white ship: "They have more experience than us, and there must be their reasons for choosing the east side. We will follow and learn, and we will not suffer a big loss."
During the conversation, the waves were getting bigger and bigger, the deck was completely wet, and the shoes of several people were also see through.
what is that
Xu Wang was about to finish his observation, but suddenly he saw smaller black spots floating in the open water between the sailboats. When he looked closer, they were actually floating balls.
The diameter of the ball is only one meter, the whole body is transparent, and there is a person sitting in each one, which looks like countless gashapons floating in the waves at first glance.
In the rising waves, these floating balls are extremely inconspicuous, and they are swallowed up by the waves most of the time. If one just happened to be thrown into the air by the waves, and then fell quickly, drawing an arc in the field of vision. , he didn't notice at all.
What is this operation? Can you fight alone
Xu Wangzheng was puzzled when Wu Sheng's quiet voice suddenly came from behind him: "Quick, look up at the gods."
Reflexively raised his head, Xu Wang realized later that he had cooperated with an unbelievable invitation.
But in an instant, he felt ashamed of his ignorance.
flying carpet.
A flying carpet with a bohemian pattern is carrying four men in the air about ten meters above the sea, flying north. All the stormy seas have nothing to do with them. Landlord.
"Fuck it!" Qian Ai howled, expressing the envy, jealousy and hatred of the four people on board.
Why are other people's stationery so targeted? Let's take a look at theirs, Death Gaze, Hot Wheels, Thirteenth Central, Invisibility Cloak... None of them seem to be able to walk by water!
Feeling the sourness of the fox under the vine, a huge shadow suddenly appeared on the sea under the flying carpet.
The turbulent undercurrent oscillated from the shadows, and even their ship, which was separated by a certain distance, swayed extremely violently!
A monster that looks like a fish but not a fish but a beast but not a beast burst out of the water and rushed towards the flying carpet!
Its body is several times the size of a whale, and its body is like a fish, but it is covered with crocodile-like skin and induration, and its head is like a crocodile, but its wide open mouth is full of fine piranha-like teeth!
Without giving the people on the flying carpet any chance to react, the monster's upper and lower jaws slammed together, swallowing the entire person and the blanket with ease, flicking its tail beautifully in the air, and falling back into the sea.
The waves rolled violently, like boiling water.
The four people who were watching the whole process were clinging to the railing, breathing stagnant, and could not respond for a while.
"Just like that... dead?" Everything happened so fast that Qian Ai couldn't recover.
"It should have bounced back to reality... I guess." Xu Wang was actually not sure, he could only speculate based on his own experience of being kicked by a bear.
Wu Sheng took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, with a heavy and complicated heart: "It's better to keep a low profile."
In the turbulent waves, the hull gradually tilted.
At first, the four partners thought it was a normal bump, until they found that the direction of the inclination persisted, and their bodies leaned back more and more, then they realized that something was wrong, and they turned back.
Then, they understood what it means to laugh at a hundred steps with fifty steps.
A huge tentacle stretched out from the waves and had already caught up with the railing on that side!
The tentacles were fleshy white, like a giant octopus, with countless suckers, big and small. Under the action of huge external force, the hull is gradually tilting in the direction of being hooked by the tentacles!
"What should I do?" Qian Ai's sweat came down.
Xu Wang and Wu Sheng looked at each other, and suddenly they were so blessed that they ran into the cabin together!
Qian Ai didn't wait for an answer, and when the two ran away, he was going crazy: "Aren't you two—"
Howling and howling, he also ran.
Kuang Jinxin didn't know why, so he followed the large group to the cabin, but because the last one to start, when he ran to the hatch of the ship, the three partners had already come out with weapons.
It turned out that Xu Wang and Wu Sheng were not looking for a place to hide, but went to find the "blade" that they had in hand. Since there are binoculars on the deck, there may be other useful things in the cabin. I didn't go to the cabin to explore.
Why not use stationery
The lesson of the flying carpet is too tragic, the ghost knows whether "using stationery" in this sea is a mortal taboo.
There is indeed "equipment" in the cabin, but—
ax.
spear.
bow and arrow.
Is this the fucking age of cold weapons! ! !
"What about mine?" Kuang Jinxin was full of enthusiasm, but found that his teammates had brought out three weapons.
"No." Qian Ai held the bow with the quiver under his arm, pulled the bowstring in a slightly labored posture, and then released it, and it hit his hand, almost hurting to death, "You can use this." He decisively handed the bow to his teammates without any hesitation.
Kuang Jinxin, who was watching the whole process, felt enormous pressure.
"Xiao Kuang," Xu Wang, who was holding the axe, hurriedly walked towards the tentacles without turning his head, "You are responsible for letting out the wind. If there is any movement, whether it's a monster or another ship, report it immediately!"
"Received!" The inclination of the hull has exceeded 45°. Kuang Jinxin quickly moved to the stern holding the railing, and the naked eye telescope was combined.
Qian Ai failed to change his duties, so he had to bite the bullet and meet the captain.
Xu Wang swung his axe and slashed at the tentacles. The first time it slipped away, the tentacles were covered in water and mucus!
Then Wu Sheng, who came over, poked straight in with a spear, turned his head and said to Xu Wang, "Come again!"
Xu Wang raised the axe high for the second time and fell heavily!
bang—
The blade of the axe was deeply embedded in the wooden railing, and the tentacles snapped off. The end that fell on the deck was about half a meter long, bounced a few times, and slid into the sea with the inclination.
The injured tentacle quickly left the railing and submerged in the water.
The hull of the boat did not come straight, because the waves were already higher than the layers, and the force of the waves was far greater than that of the tentacles. It seemed that the whole boat could capsize anytime, anywhere!
Another tentacle stretched out.
No, five!
All five tentacles are hooked on one side rail, from the bow to the stern, like being tied to a drag rope!
Xu Wang wanted to continue chopping, but just as he raised his axe, the hull suddenly fell forward suddenly!
Except for Kuang Jinxin at the stern holding the railing, all three of them lost their balance and rushed towards the tentacles!
Wu Sheng and Qian Ai reacted quickly and grabbed the railing in time. Because Xu Wang was holding the axe, he didn't have time to react, and his waist hit the railing heavily, but the inertia did not stop, and he turned over the railing and fell into the sea!
The icy sea water instantly drowned Xu Wang's eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
There is no difference between true and false. In an instant, he thought of two words, death.
That comes from people's instinctive fear of the deep sea.
Xu Wang held his breath and tried his best to go upstream. He just floated under the water when a wave hit him and pressed him to the bottom of the water, unable to emerge! Xu Wang struggled hard, his fingers suddenly touched something, and he struggled to open his eyes. In the salty seawater, he saw a long spear.
Xu Wang stretched out his hand and grabbed the shaft of the spear, which seemed to have a sensor on it. As soon as he gripped it tightly, the spear was lifted up and quickly pulled him out of the water!
When he got out of the water, he saw that Wu Sheng was already hanging on the rope ladder outside the hull, holding the soft rope ladder in one hand, and holding the spear in the other hand and pulling him hard.
Seeing that he raised his head and took a deep breath, Wu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and pulled him closer.
Xu Wang finally returned to the side of the boat. In the turbulent waves, he grabbed the end of the soft rope ladder and followed Wu Sheng back to the deck.
After regaining a new life, Xu Wang knew that it was thanks to Wu Sheng, but his gratitude came to his lips, and the only thing left was a dry sentence: "Thank you."
Wu Sheng held the spear in one hand and stomped on the deck, like a general of the Yang family: "I'll tie a rope to you next time."
Xu Wang gritted his teeth, but owed his favor, so he could only lower his eyebrows.
As soon as he bowed his head, he found a new situation: "Oh? Why isn't it crooked?"
I don't know when the hull has regained its balance. Although there are still bumps, it is much better than when it was "one-sided" just now.
"Old Qian really can't use bows and arrows, so he has to change his path." Wu Sheng raised his chin towards the bow of the boat.
Xu Wang looked up and saw Qian Ai, but saw a "human-shaped fireball" that was thumping on the railing and hitting the only remaining tentacle.
The flames around him were more than three meters high, covering Qian Ai's body from head to toe. , Even standing here with Xu Wang and Wu Sheng, they still feel slapped in the face.
The fire lit up the bow, burned the railings, and burned the tentacles.
"Are you still squeamish? Ah? If you don't make grilled squid for you, I'm sorry for my old money to eat Shenzhou's ID!!!"
Xu Wang swallowed his saliva, hesitated for a while, and didn't dare to go forward, for fear of being scorched by the violent teammates.
"Invincible Hot Wheels?" He could only think of this one related to fire.
"Well." Wu Sheng responded affirmatively.
"Can I use stationery?"
"I haven't found anything wrong so far. The flying carpet just now may have been an unfortunate accident."
"Have those claws been burned away by him?"
"It's cooked."
Xu Wang suddenly realized that it was no wonder that after returning to the deck, he always smelled the aroma of barbecue.
The last tentacle used its milk-feeding strength, finally escaped the "clutch", and withdrew pitifully into the sea.
The waves were still that big, and it was obvious that the bottom of the sea wasn't really calm, but a hint of coke fragrance softened the tension in the sea breeze.
The flames of the "human-shaped fireball" gradually weakened, and finally disappeared, revealing classmate Qian, whose face was roasted red.
There were scorched black marks on the railing, which were all his medals.
"Amazing." Xu Wang gave him a thumbs up.
Qian Ai returned to his comrade-in-arms and nodded lightly, as if he had hidden merit and fame.
Xu Wang patted him on the shoulder: "Don't hold back."
Qian Ai shook his head slightly: "I thought the Invincible Hot Wheels was a tera-style hot wheel that could be stepped on to fly, swiped and beaten..."
Xu Wang sighed, "I understand."
Qian Ai's dignified expression instantly collapsed: "Why did I turn into Hot Wheels! I'm not handsome at all, and I'm still hot—"
Here, classmate Qian asked about the sky and the earth, and wanted to superstitiously ask about fate. Over there, an alarm from Kuang Jinxin sounded at the stern of the boat: "Captain, there is a boat!"
Xu Wang and Wu Sheng were stunned for a moment, then immediately ran to the stern, took Yu Wen Qian Ai a beat, and then followed.
Kuang Jinxin didn't use binoculars, he just looked ahead like that, and didn't raise his hand to point his teammates, because the ship had already come to them.
The distance between the two ships is no more than ten meters at most, and even the bumps follow the same waves.
The people on the opposite boat also saw them, their eyes met, and both sides were on guard.
It didn't look like they were coming for them, but it just happened that the two ships were bumped together with the waves.
Suddenly, a tentacle with a charred end slowly hooked onto the deck railing of the opposite sailboat from the right side.
The sea monsters who suffered losses from them have found a new target!
Kuang Jinxin shouted quickly: "Be careful behind your back!"
The three people on the opposite deck were startled, turned their heads reflexively, and soon saw the tentacles on the railing.
The three of them, who couldn't take care of them for a while, quickly ran to take the cabin, and soon came out with an axe and a spear.
Same boat, same weapon.
So, what about bows and arrows
Xu Wang, who was puzzled, found that not only the bow and arrow were missing, but also one person was missing. He looked around and finally found the fourth figure on the mast.
The man was sitting on the top of the mast, too tall to see his face clearly, only a slender and well-proportioned body outline, and he was wearing a jacket, which was quite good-looking.
Just like what they encountered just now, the opposite ship also began to tilt under the force of the tentacles.
The one with the axe among the three was also the main force in the battle, but his luck was a little worse than Xu Wang's.
He poked with his spear for a long time, but he didn't really help him. He was unarmed and got angry. He raised his head and rushed to the mast and shouted, "Chi Yingxue, come down and help me—"
"Stop struggling," said the man on the mast, his voice leisurely and playful, "With the three of you fighting the five scumbags, falling into the sea is an inevitable destination, so why waste your energy."
"What are the three of us!" The shouting person was angry and wanted to give him wings so that he could fly up and tear up with the surnamed Chi, "You are not a fucking member of the team!"
The man on the mast thought for a while: "In terms of appearance, it really isn't."
"Fuck!" The people below were furious, but they couldn't help it, so they could only swear at the sky, "I'm really lame when you increase the staff—"
