The ship sailed out for a long time, no one spoke on the deck, and the gray mist hung over the vast sea, and it also blinded people's hearts.
Everything in the world is multidimensional.
They see this side, others see that side.
They thought they had already worked hard, but it turned out that they should be thankful that they had nothing to worry about, that they were still young and energetic, and they could put it down when they said they could, and set off when they said they left.
"What's the matter, all of them are sluggish?" Wu Sheng, who had stabilized the rudder in the correct direction, came out of the cockpit and saw the three companions in a gloomy cloud, "What did Mao Qiping say? Are there Easter eggs?"
Immediately guessed that it had something to do with Mao Qiping, it was the extraordinary wisdom of Sergeant Wu. As for the complete deviation of the final landing point, it was normal for Sergeant Wu, whose thinking mode has always been unusual.
Xu Wang looked at the classmate who didn't understand the atmosphere of the deck at all.
Wu Sheng also looked at him, frowning blankly and tilting his head, suddenly revealing a hint of cuteness.
The gray fog in Xu Wang's heart suddenly dissipated most of it.
For the first time, he found that Wu Sheng, who is always in his channel, is very good. He is rational and pragmatic, and he focuses on the matter. He doesn't scatter and think deeply about those who have it or not. His eyes are always on the top of the mountain in front of you, so that you can't help but follow him to focus and gear up. , full of energy.
"Is the heading okay?" Xu Wang skipped Mao Qiping's topic and threw a new question directly.
This question was in Wu Sheng's heart. He immediately smiled slightly, and his eyes were filled with the words "The world is under my control": "Of course, leave it to me at the helm, just..."
"Xiao Kuang-" Xu Wang suddenly turned his head and called Kuang Jinxin, "I'll hand over the telescope to you, and report any situation at any time."
Kuang Jinxin stood at attention: "Received!"
Watching Jin Xin run to the stern of the boat, Wu Sheng was in a complicated mood: "It's polite to hear people finish their words."
Xu Wang looked at him again: "Yes, please remove the self-praise part."
Wu Sheng: "..."
After being silent for two seconds, the military division Wu, who was deprived of his only pleasure, turned around and returned to the cockpit pitifully.
Qian Ai, who was watching the whole process, finally found an opportunity to express his emotions: "This is really ten years of Hedong and ten years of Hexi. When you were in high school, he treated you to death, and now it's the other way around."
Xu Wang suspected that the two of them had not lived in the same three years: "I was a bit stronger than him at that time, not to mention that I beat them both, at least they were evenly matched."
Qian Ai shook his head in disapproval: "You can't just count force, you have to add intelligence."
Xu Wang: "..."
Qian Ai, who didn't hurt the captain's self-consciousness, suddenly looked around and wondered, "Is it dark?"
Xu Wang was stunned, looked up at the sky, sure enough.
It was foggy and the visibility and light were not good, but when I met Mao Qiping before, the overall vision was still a "not very bright day", but now, the dark clouds are densely covered, and just as they looked up, the dark clouds turned into black clouds. , almost no light can be seen through, and even the surrounding fog has been drawn into this darkness, and then looking at the sea, there is only darkness left.
"Xiao Kuang, can you still see the lighthouse?" Wu Sheng asked from the cockpit.
"Okay," Kuang Jinxin looked at the binoculars closely, "the lighthouse is bright, but now it's even more obvious."
"Okay, keep an eye on-"
"No problem, can't run!"
One is at the helm and the other is on the lookout, and the two have become a tacit team.
Xu Wang and Qian Ai looked at each other without saying a word.
As the division of labor between the four partners was completely clarified, the sea became more and more silent, and the sound of breaking water of the sailboat became the only background sound.
A bright light suddenly rose on the deck, warm and striking under the increasingly dark sky.
Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, and Kuang Jinxin, who were looking at the sea, turned back from their respective positions, and saw Qian Ai raising one arm like the Statue of Liberty, but not holding a torch, because when people clenched their fists, it was a small fireball.
"Can you control the range of the flame?" Xu Wang thought that the invincible hot wheel could only catch fire all over his body.
"It's not only the scope, but also the size!" Qian Ai had just discovered this matter, so he showed it to his teammates with great interest, "Look, the fire is big, hey, the fire is small, you guys like the atmosphere of the bonfire party, Still prefer the candlelight dinner vibe, despite the requests—"
Xu Wang: "..."
Wu Sheng: "..."
Kuang Jinxin: "..."
Looking at the teammates who had a lot of fun, the three students of Renown Jin felt neither the warmth of the bonfire nor the romance of the candlelight. The only thing they could think of was the gas stove, or the food supply. The air volume is very unstable.
On the sea like the night, suddenly came the singing, whispering and tactfully.
Like a woman singing in a foreign language, the notes passed through the thick and dark fog, came to the ship, and came to the ears of the sailors, with the moisture of the sea and the mist.
Qian Ai quickly put out the fire.
The sailboat then blends into a dark protective color.
The four partners who are sticking to their respective positions, restrain their minds and be vigilant.
[Go north first, and then sail straight to the lighthouse after seeing the first water monster.]
This is the strategy given by Mao Qiping, and now, they have been driving towards the north for a long time, and it is time to meet this first water monster.
The ship moved forward slowly, and in the gentle waves, the shallow chants became clearer and more charming.
The string in the hearts of the four was stretched to the extreme.
It's not scary to be attacked suddenly. What's scary is that you know there will be a ghost, but you don't know when it will appear, that kind of anxious waiting.
Qian Ai couldn't stand it anymore. He held the railing with one hand and clenched the spear he inherited from Wu Sheng with the other, his palms soaked with sweat.
As soon as he was afraid, he wanted to talk, just like walking alone in a dark corridor, always wanting to use his mobile phone to play a divine comedy: "Have you seen Pirates of the Caribbean? There is a mermaid in a movie, which uses this kind of singing to booby and kill. Sailor's."
The suffocating silence was broken, and Xu Wang, who had his back turned to him, breathed a brief sigh of relief, and loosened his ax-holding hand, which was already numb: "You mean this sea monster is a mermaid?"
"It could also be a water demon," Qian Ai thought very comprehensively, "that's the kind of sea monster with a particularly beautiful appearance, gentle, mysterious, and dangerous, while kissing you slowly, while killing you while touching and lingering. you… "
Xu Wang: "..."
It's obviously quite a brutal thing, why does it sound like a sex activity after being described by teammates like this =_=
"There's light ahead!" Kuang Jinxin, who was in charge of the lookout, was staring at the lighthouse most of the time, but from time to time he scanned the whole situation, and with this scan, he saw the faint light in the mist.
Xu Wang and Qian Ai ran to the bow together and looked up.
Just in the direction the ship was heading, at a distance of about tens of meters, a dim yellow light with warmth reflected a slap-sized mass of light.
"The female siren with the lantern." Qian Ai looked ahead, very confident, "There is always such a monster in Japanese weird talk, Xue Ye, a beauty in a kimono, carrying a lantern, knocking on the door of the mountain people and staying for the night."
"..." The teammates covered too much, and Captain Xu couldn't keep up with the topic.
"If it's a real beauty, do you think I should burn it or not?" Qian Ai was completely troubled by true feelings.
Xu Wang was in the dark, his eyes turned to the sky: "If you don't burn her, she will kill you."
Qian Ai also knew this principle, but: "I can't do it—"
As they spoke, the distance between the ship and the light was getting closer and closer, so close that the glowing object could be slightly seen.
What a beautiful little lantern.
From the top of the lantern, there is a very thin long line with an arc, as if someone is using this hard wire to carry the lantern, and the other end of the long line, together with the person carrying it, is hidden in the darkness.
The distance between the boat and the lantern was less than ten meters.
"Qian Ai," Xu Wang said suddenly, "turn on the light."
Hula la flames jumped up.
"The Statue of Liberty" reappears in the world.
The flames, which were many times stronger than that shimmer, illuminated the entire ship at once, and also illuminated a ten-meter radius.
The other end of the lantern finally lit up under the eyes of the four of them.
A five-meter-long strange fish, half on the water and half on the water, has a huge head, protruding eyes, and a string grows out of its forehead, holding the lantern. The sophistication of the lantern and the roughness of the body are in sharp contrast.
"Old money," Xu Wang swallowed, before the enemy, he did not forget to comfort his teammates, "It is indeed carrying a lantern, which is basically the same as what you imagined."
Qian Ai wanted to cry without tears: "Who the hell cares about lanterns! My focus is beauty, beauty!!!"
In the shattering sound of romantic disillusionment, the lantern monster suddenly accelerated and came straight towards the bow!
Its mouth opened rapidly as it swam close, like a snake, opening wider than its entire head, revealing a mouth full of jagged fangs!
Qian Ai's arm was raging with flames, and the other arm clenched the spear tightly, while Xu Wang swung his axe, just waiting for the Lantern Fish Monster to approach and face off!
"Ding-"
A beep sounds untimely.
Xu Wang had a toothache when he listened to it, whether to look or not to look, this is a fucking question!
"Don't worry about the water monster, it's all firm-" Wu Sheng's shout suddenly came from the cockpit.
Xu Wang and Qian Ai, who were preparing for the battle, didn't understand, so Kuang Jinxin, who was guarding the telescope, couldn't understand it.
Xu Wang and Qian Ai were almost thrown into the sea, but luckily they caught the railing at the last minute!
Kuang Jinxin clung to the telescope tripod fixed on the ship's board, as steady as Mount Tai.
Wu Sheng's turn of the rudder caused the boat to turn a gorgeous 135° when it was less than five meters away from the lantern fish monster, avoiding the result of the encounter and completely changing the course!
The lantern fish monster took a bite out of the air, and then tried to swim, but it has changed from oncoming to tailing!
"Where is this going—" Xu Wang couldn't see the road ahead, so he could only ask the driver.
Wu Sheng tried to calibrate the direction: "Lighthouse!"
Xu Wang just wanted to ask again, but Qian Ai raised his fire unicorn arm blankly and said, "Don't fight sea monsters?"
"The condition for turning is 'meet the first sea monster', not 'defeat the first sea monster'—" Wu Sheng's sonorous reply came from the cockpit immediately. As a programmer, the execution of conditions must be clear and unambiguous.
Qian Ai was speechless.
Damn, it makes sense TAT
Xu Wang rubbed his face, fortunately, his mouth was slow.
"Ding-"
"Ding-"
Two four-in-one new information beeps sounded next to each other. In addition to the previous sound, it took only a short time to turn the ship around, and three new messages have come.
Xu Wang and Qian Ai, who were heading towards the stern of the boat, did not stop, but raised their arms to check.
: East Treasure Beach (1/3), opening the Treasure Vault for the first time.
: West Treasure Beach (1/3), opening the treasure house for the first time.
: North Flight Island (2/3), the second ship sails into the clouds.
Although they were already mentally prepared, it would be good for them to be able to fight for the last place to climb the tower, but when he saw the second message, Xu Wang was still a little stunned.
Well, people always think "what if", in case all the boats going to Xibaozang Beach encounter the most difficult sea monster, in case all the competing teammates are of similar level to the previous boatman Chi Yingxue Woolen cloth
But there are so many "what ifs" specially made for you in this world.
West Treasure Beach, there are two places left.
"It's a good deal to choose Nanfei Island," Qian Ai said with envy, "No one goes there at all."
"According to the probability, it is more likely that those who chose that route were all buried at the bottom of the sea—" In the cockpit of the bow, which was almost an entire deck away, Sergeant Wu eagerly corrected his teammates' misconceptions.
Qian Ai was speechless: "Are you Shunfenger!!!"
The sea breeze became a little stronger, the sails were getting stronger, and the speed of the ship was a little faster.
While they were talking, Xu Wang and Qian Ai had already come to the stern of the boat. Before they could see it, Kuang Jinxin, who was in charge of both the near and far watchers, had already reported first: "It seems to be boring..."
What Kuang Jinxin said is true.
I saw that in the flickering firelight, the lantern fish monster and the stern of the boat had already drawn a long distance. Although the sea wind became stronger and accelerated the progress of the ship, according to the fish monster's previous speed, it was far more than falling so much. Swimming is indeed slower than before.
but…
Xu Wang leaned close to the stern railing, frowned and observed the fish monster more carefully, and found that it was not swimming at a constant speed, but swam twice, then paused, and chased the boat twice, and paused again, not so much it. Its speed has slowed down, it is better to say that its swimming is incoherent, as if it has concerns or fears, and it does not dare to chase after it recklessly.
The problem is that Qian Ai's fire hasn't burned it at all. What is it afraid of
"Captain..." Usually Qian Ai called out to his old classmates, but his heart trembled, "Don't you think the boat doesn't seem to be as stable as before?"
After being reminded by Qian Ai, Xu Wang realized that it was indeed shaking a little bit.
This is not Wu Sheng's problem, because after the previous sharp turn, he stabilized the boat again. The reason why it shakes so much is the problem of waves.
On the bottom of the boat, the waves became rough.
When Xu Wanggang thought about it like this, a huge impact force rose from the water, and with a bang, the whole boat was pushed up!
After the sailboat was two or three meters into the air, it fell back to the water heavily. The three people at the stern were holding onto everything they could, while Wu Sheng in the cockpit hugged the rudder tightly, so that he was not thrown into the sea!
In the sudden turbulent waves, the bottom of the boat came from the bottom of the boat again and again. Although it was not as violent as the first time, it also shocked the people on the boat.
Something hit their boat underwater!
Wu Sheng, who realized this, turned sharply again!
The hull makes a beautiful row in the water, from vertical to horizontal!
In the next second, it was too late to change direction and hit an empty "thing". Under the huge inertia, it broke out of the water and jumped into the air!
In the firelight, it was several times the size of a whale, almost obscuring the sky.
The three people at the stern stared wide-eyed in shock!
They have seen this fish-like monster, the one that attacked the flying carpet before!
Xu Wang suddenly realized that the lantern fish monster's wandering pursuit was not afraid of them, but of it!
The monster that rushed to the highest point fell down at a high speed, slammed into the water heavily, and splashed huge waves!
The sea water rushed over their heads, and the three people at the stern held their breaths and endured the shock. They didn't choke on the water, but they were soaked from head to toe.
The hull returned to normal under Wu Sheng's operation, and continued to ride the wind and waves.
But the sea monster that smashed into the water at the stern did not move for a long time.
one second.
two seconds.
ten seconds.
Twenty seconds.
The boat had already sailed some distance, and something suddenly floated where the sea monster fell into the water.
Qian Ai was self-conscious, making the blazing fire more warm and bright.
The floating white was finally clear - the lantern fish monster, with its belly glowing, motionless.
"No," Qian Ai swallowed hard, "I kill my own people..."
Before he finished speaking, the lantern fish monster's body was suddenly pushed apart by a row of dorsal fins emerging from the water.
It was the dorsal fin of the fish-like crocodile monster, and they all recognized it when it turned into ashes.
Without giving them any time to buffer, the dorsal fin went straight to their stern, and swam sharply at a speed fast enough to kill the lantern fish monster!
"Wu Sheng!" Xu Wang shouted, "Accelerate—"
"It's useless to call me, you have to call the wind—" Wu Sheng is always concerned about the battle situation, and he knows that he should speed up the horsepower at this time, but the only space left for the driver to operate on this ship is the direction! Such high-end things can only be left to God.
Too bad God didn't care.
The wind was still the same, but the sea monster was getting closer.
"Whoa-"
The sea monster broke out of the water again, with its big mouth that could almost swallow up half of their ship, it came straight at them, and the fine and sharp teeth made people terrified!
Qian Ai had already burned himself into a fireball, Xu Wang swung the axe and shoved the spear into Kuang Jinxin's hand.
The three husbands are the gatekeepers, let it be fate.
Holding the determination to fight to the death, Wu Sheng suddenly turned again!
The sea monster that jumped down was caught off guard, only barely reaching the side of the stern, biting off a few railings, and falling back into the water!
"Don't fight it head-on, the risk factor is too high," Wu Sheng shouted, "Our goal is to be a lighthouse, try to deal with it and delay time is the best solution—"
Xu Wang was in a complicated mood.
He also wanted to deal with procrastination, the problem was that the sea monsters just wanted to do it! ! !
Huh
Xu Wang suddenly felt his body crooked and staggered to the left!
Not only him, Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin also lost their balance!
The three of them collided with the railing on the left side. They managed to grasp it firmly, and finally they could see clearly that it was not that they suddenly lost their balance, but that the boat was crooked and tilted seriously to the left!
"Grilled squid—" Kuang Jinxin suddenly exclaimed.
Xu Wang and Qian Ai looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw a row of charred tentacles on the left railing of the deck at some point, trying to pull the boat to the left!
This is really a leak in the house, but it rains overnight and the boat is late and hits the wind. If one is not resolved, the second one comes! ! !
Thanks to the octopus monster, the boat was completely pulled by it, and the speed was halved.
The next moment, it actually came out of the water, revealing the huge and smooth octopus head for the first time!
The size of this head kills the lantern fish monster in seconds, and it is not inferior to the one who looks like a fish and a crocodile.
But Xu Wang and Qian Ai didn't have time to appreciate it, so they rushed to the railing on the left side of the deck, one slashed mercilessly with an axe, and the other set it on fire!
But this time, the octopus seemed to have made up his mind, and didn't flinch at all, whether it was cut or burned, it would still hide, but it didn't retreat, but moved along the railing to deal with you, if you hit me Run, if you retreat, I will enter. After a few rounds, there is not a single tentacle, but more and more bodies surface.
Did this guy read the Art of War and come back for revenge? ! !
"Xu Wang—" Wu Sheng suddenly shouted.
Xu Wang thought he thought the boat was slow, and he was already anxious, but now he was even more anxious: "I'm fighting with Lao Qian, but this time it's changing its routine, not to drag us down, but to get on the boat—"
Wu Sheng originally wanted to give his teammates Tactic A, but when he heard Xu Wang say that the octopus wanted to get on the boat, he immediately adjusted it and replaced it with Tactic B: "Using the barbarians to control barbarians—"
Qian Ai, who was "grilling with fire", was blinded by such foreign words: "What is it?"
"Old money," Xu Wang stopped the axe in his hand and made a decisive decision, "Don't burn it."
Qian Ai looked at the captain in disbelief: "Do you understand?!"
"Yes, don't burn it, hide here!" Xu Wang didn't have time to explain, so he dragged Qian Ai and ran to the railing without tentacles on the other side of the deck, grabbing it firmly.
"Xiao Kuang, hold on tight—" Xu Wang shouted at Kuang Jin Xin again.
Qian Ai finally affirmed that the captain and the military division had indeed had a clear and effective communication.
This is fucking high tech! ! !
"Captain," Kuang Jinxin's voice came from the stern, but instead of responding, he was anxious, "that monster rushed over again—"
He was talking about a fish-like crocodile.
"Don't worry about it," Xu Wang said loudly, "Just hold on tight—"
As soon as the sound of the word "steady" started, the ship suddenly turned!
Because an octopus monster was hung on it, the speed was greatly reduced, but the hull of the boat still swept through the water and slowly hit horizontally.
The fish-like crocodile has already flown up, and the octopus monster has already emerged from the water with half of its body. However, when Wu Sheng turned down, the left rail turned to the original position of the stern, and the fish-like crocodile came down, and it was accurate. Bitten the head of the octopus monster!
The two sea monsters plunged into the water in an instant, and under the huge momentum, the tentacles with suction cups broke their entire left railing!
Fortunately, the hull was unharmed and floated strong in the bumpy waves!
Qian Ai finally understood the meaning of "using barbarians to control barbarians", and the knowledge points such as "teaching barbarians' skills to control barbarians" that he had learned in history class were also brought back.
But... can't you just say that you are provoking sea monsters to fight sea monsters! ! !
In the huge waves that covered the sky, the two sea monsters fighting in a ball rose and fell, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was only a matter of time before the octopus monster went to the lantern fish monster to drink tea.
There wasn't much time left for them, so Xu Wang could only urge Wu Sheng: "Can you hurry up!"
Wu Sheng didn't even have the strength to roar, so he turned around and said bitterly: "I said that I want wind, I want wind..."
wind.
Xu Wang was blessed by Wu Sheng's repetition over and over again.
"Old Qian," Captain Xu raised his head suddenly, his eyes bright, "Isn't this called 'Invincible Hot Wheels'? I saw the fire, what about the wind?"
"This..." Qian Ai looked at the captain who was desperately ill and went to the doctor, and said in a daze, "I call it Hot Wheels to show that this weapon is imposing..."
"No," Captain Xu shook his head firmly, "After observing for so long, I can say responsibly that every word in the stationery will never be given for nothing."
"But… "
"Don't do it, try to shake your arm."
Qian Ai had no choice but to bite the bullet and swiped his burning right arm twice.
Captain Xu didn't feel any wind except his hair was almost burned.
Qian Ai sighed: "I told you earlier..."
"How about two arms swinging together?"
"… "
What should I do with a persevering captain
Swish it.
Qian Ai closed her eyes and focused, and her other arm was instantly enveloped in flames.
Taking two deep breaths, he swung his arms together!
The hot wind blew across his face, picked up the hair on Captain Xu's forehead, and blew the collar of Kuang Jinxin farther away.
Qian Ai stopped his arms, his face full of astonishment.
Xu Wang patted him on the shoulder with relief: "Old Qian, get on the mast, and throw your arms up."
