The Midnight Owl

Chapter 34: ashore

Views:

On the mast more than ten meters high from the deck, Qian Ai stepped on the crossbar, leaned against the main mast, and threw his arms round.

In the roaring fire, the wind blows.

The sails were blown loudly, and the speed of the boat bid farewell to "leisure" in an instant, and entered a new era of "ride the wind and waves"!

Qian Ai thought that he should be able to get rid of the sea monster, but he had no time to look at it.

When other people are fighting, they throw off their arms. He also throws off his arms. As a result, the accuracy of the operation is almost measured with a vernier caliper. It is necessary to blow the wind and maintain one's own balance. It is necessary to swing the arms with all one's strength, and pay attention not to let the wind direction deviate from the channel. Finally, and the most important, must not let the flames burn the sails.

Is this a fucking fight or scientific research! ! !

"Old Qian Lao Qian is great, you are the best—"

The flag-waving shouts from teammates surnamed Kuang came from below, which made Qian Ai have a subtle sense of returning to the kindergarten in an instant, and the auntie would send a cookie as a reward when she swung her arm.

Kuang Jinxin carefully observed the "flame teammates" on the mast for a while, and confirmed that there was no sign of encouragement: "Captain, Brother Qian doesn't seem to like my support."

Xu Wang grabbed the shoulders of his teammates: "You are still young and don't understand people's hearts."

After releasing Kuang Jinxin, Captain Xu raised his head and shouted, "Old money, old money, lie down and make money—"

There was no answer on the mast.

In the bright firelight, this good wish was scattered into the sea fog a little bit.

"Hula-"

The flames at the top of the mast were raised several meters high without warning. The arms with strong biceps turned so fast that they could not see the shadows clearly.

The wind blows, the sails fly, the wooden boat turns into a speedboat, and the waves hit the waves.

Kuang Jinxin held the binoculars tightly, and in the oncoming wind, there was an illusion of riding a black motorcycle.

Xu Wang watched the sea monster in the fight getting smaller and smaller, and finally became a small wave at the far end of the sea, and his hanging heart finally let go.

In the cockpit, Wu Sheng, who is not very clear about the ins and outs, holds the rudder in his hand and enjoys the joy of "boating" with peace of mind. From time to time, he closes his eyes, imagining that lines of beautiful code are refreshed in front of his eyes, take a sip, and feel refreshed. Breathe fresh, take two sips, and be invincible in the world.

Eleven or twelve minutes later, a sailboat, possessed by the soul of the speedboat, washed up on the coast of West Treasure Beach. The speed of the boat was so fast that it washed more than ten meters on the beach before it stopped and ran aground.

Two minutes later, four people got off the boat, three of them were full of fighting spirit, and one of them walked with his arms down and his eyes wandering like a ghost.

"Old money, cheer up!"

"You can't make such unreasonable demands on a man who has lost his arms."

"I vouch for my 5.1 vision that your arm is still there."

"But they have lost their souls."

When a teammate becomes a poet, let him be quiet. — "Captain Xu's Team Building Handbook"

The dark clouds did not invade this small island, and under the bright blue sky, the beach covered with white sand glowed with a little silver light.

Stepping on this soft sandy beach, facing the sea, it is easy to give birth to a quiet and comfortable life.

Fortunately, the four companions who rushed over in the wind and waves only saw the tall lighthouse on the reef in the distance.

"We have to go quickly," Xu Wang said while looking around vigilantly. "We are not necessarily the only ones on this island. Standing on this beach is too dazzling and unsafe."

Wu Sheng looked back at the stranded sailboat, and reminded him very pertinently: "With the wind we just landed in, it may be a bit late to think of it low-key now."

Xu Wang looked at him angrily: "Can't you say something positive?"

Wu Sheng didn't deliberately disturb the military's heart, he felt that everything should be realistic, like positive energy, and there are: "As of now, there is still only one treasure chest that has been opened, and we have already landed on the island, as long as there are no accidents, absolutely You can grab an unboxing spot."

Before he could finish his words, another "ding" sounded through the endless sea.

: West Treasure Beach (2/3), the second time to open the treasure house.

Another team or individual climbed to the top of the tower.

Just before they walked out of this beach.

There is one spot left.

Looking at the information scrolling on his arm, Sergeant Wu pondered for two seconds and raised his head apologetically: "The accident came a little too quickly."

Xu Wang fixedly looked at him with earnest eyes: "From now on, please be a quiet and beautiful man."

The reef pile tens of meters away is the highest point on the island, and the lighthouse of West Treasure Beach is located on the top of the reef pile. The whole body of the lighthouse is white, but it glows with golden light in the sun. If you look closely, it turns out that a circle of golden stripes is drawn every other section, but the lines are too thin, and you can only see it when you get close.

Just like the winged sailboat sculpture on the top of the lighthouse on the Flying Island, the lighthouse on Treasure Beach is also topped with a treasure chest that symbolizes its own identity.

The group used both hands and feet—except Qian Ai, the student used all his feet—climbed to the top of the reef and unexpectedly did not meet any other competitors, but from a distance, the flat place was actually full of large and small reefs, as if someone had put a basket of irregular Stones were thrown into the open space the size of a basketball court, and in the rubble, a tower was built.

The lighthouse with golden pattern on the white ground has only a door on the tower base below and a square hole on the top near the top of the tower. Other than that, it is completely closed.

The four did not dare to approach the lighthouse rashly, but hid behind a large rock seven or eight meters diagonally in front of the lighthouse, peeping at the square hole on the top of the tower that looked like a machine gun.

"Mao Qiping said," said Kuang Jinxin in a low voice, "the tower guards may fight close-quarters inside the gate, or they may attack from a distance at the top of the tower."

"The door and the opening above are in a straight line," Xu Wang was certain. "It's a long distance."

"Is that a machine gun fire or a random arrow?" Qian Ai asked.

"You'll know if you try it." Wu Sheng picked up a small stone and threw it in front of the lighthouse door with all his strength.

The stone fell to the ground with a crisp impact, and then Gu Lulu rolled forward.

A cold light flashed in the hole at the top of the tower, and the four of them only saw that something came out, but it flashed by like lightning, and they couldn't see what it was.

From the sudden change to the return to quietness, it was only a short moment.

In the salty sea breeze, the four of them stared intently. Where the small stones rolled, there was a row of long spikes. The spikes of the spikes were deeply pierced into the reef. There was no more than an inch by sight. long. As for the pebbles that had been rolled before, they had long since become the ghosts of injustices, smashed to pieces and hard to find.

"Nail gun." Wu Sheng gave a precise definition of the "weapon" they were about to face, and then added, "But the specifications of the nails are a bit sharp."

The three partners looked at the nine-inch spike and felt a pain in their hearts.

More than a bit fierce, the stakes for nailing vampires are also of this size! ! !

"Give it up." Qian Ai couldn't see the dawn of victory at all, and he looked forward to the blood flowing down the river. "We will have to be beaten into a sieve before we can walk a few steps."

"Don't be discouraged all the time," said Kuang Jinxin, who was not physically as good as his teammates, but his optimistic revolutionary fighting spirit definitely killed eight Qian Ai.

"It doesn't have to be forced," Wu Sheng suddenly stood up and reached out to Qian Ai, "Bow and arrow."

After successfully shooting an arrow from the sea monster, Qian Ai firmly tied the bow and quiver to his back and waist, never leaving his body, even climbing the mast and blowing wind, he did not pick it up. It's not that he has any long-term plans, but that he feels more at ease with more weapons for self-defense.

Hearing Wu Sheng's request, he was both surprised and surprised, and hurriedly took off the bow and handed it over: "You still know this? Why didn't you say it earlier!"

"It's just playing," Wu Sheng held the bow, took another arrow from Qian Ai's quiver, and gently placed it on the bowstring, "Try it."

The arrow pointed to the top of the tower, Wu Sheng calmly and gracefully pulled the bowstring, looking straight into the dark square mouth, calm and sharp.

Xu Wang's face didn't move, but he couldn't see anything except Wu Sheng. It was as if he was back in the high school class when he peeked at this person. At that time, Wu Sheng was sitting by the window. Every time Xu Wang peeked over, he felt that there was only Wu Sheng and bright sunshine left in the world.

Wu Sheng finally let go, and with the powerful sound of the bowstring, the feather arrow broke through the wind and pierced the clouds, reaching Fangkou!

Xu Wang and Kuang Jinxin held their breath, and Qian Ai clenched their fists subconsciously when their arms just regained some sense.

"Snapped-"

The arrow poked on the wall of the tower 800 feet away from Fangkou, and then slanted down and fell to the ground erratically.

"It's okay, I don't want to play for sure, just try it a few more times." Xu Wang really cheered, not only for his teammates, but also for the people he likes, "Old money, get another arrow!"

"No need," Wu Sheng didn't ask Qian Ai to take a new arrow, but returned the bow, "It still won't work."

Xu Wang frowned: "It's not your style to give up so easily."

Wu Sheng shook his head: "When I played before, I always missed shots. This is normal performance."

Kuang Jinxin: "..."

Qian Ai: "… "

Xu Wang: "...Then why were you so handsome just now!!!"

Ignoring the unfortunate military advisor who said, "You have to give it a try, in case you get hit", Captain Xu made a decisive decision: "Use stationery."

It's not yet the next level, I've already used an "Invincible Hot Wheels", Xu Wang actually doesn't want to consume any more stationery, but he's reached this point. He can vomit blood.

"Armor or weapon?" Kuang Jinxin quickly responded to the captain's call.

"Arms," Xu Wang looked up at the top of the tower, his brows furrowed into hills, "Arms let us enter the tower at most, or we have to confront the tower guards head-on. It's best to use weapons to deal with him directly, once and for all."

"That's none of my business, I'll just have a piece of armor left," Qian Ai closed his eyes, trying to summon the flame again, and finally opened his eyes and shook his head, "Hot Wheels has expired."

Xu Wang stared at his stationery box, his lips pursed into a straight line. I don't know if "Cao Chong calls the elephant" can be clicked or not. Even if it can, the name doesn't really match the current battle situation. Nailed back to the ground.

Only Wu Sheng and Kuang Jinxin were left with hope.

Xu Wang raised his head and looked at the two teammates.

Wu Sheng took the initiative to ask Ying: "As long as I can send me up, I can stare at him affectionately to death."

Kuang Jinxin didn't fall behind: "'Come and hit me' sounds arrogant, maybe he can shoot a nail gun!"

Xu Wang held Kuang Jinxin's hand without hesitation for a second: "It's up to you."

Kuang Jinxin nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Captain, I will definitely kill him!"

Wu Junshi, who withdrew from his stationery box, felt a trace of melancholy in his heart.

After hiding the big boulder, Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, and Qian Ai withdrew a little, leaving enough space for their teammates to display.

Kuang Jinxin took a deep breath, and solemnly pointed to the little icon in the stationery box making a face—.

The moment the fingertips touched the skin, a layer of crystal clear membrane rose from Kuang Jinxin's feet, followed the outline of his body, covering his whole body little by little, and finally closed on top of his head. The film was like jelly, swaying slightly with the sea breeze, and occasionally reflected a colorful light under the sunlight.

Before the three partners could speak, the membrane suddenly disappeared again.

Like a soap bubble bursting in the sun, silently.

The onlookers were a little confused, but Kuang Jinxin's eyes were firm: "Captain, I'm ready."

As for stationery, who knows what to use, since Kuang Jinxin said so, Xu Wang chose to believe it.

"Be careful."

"Um."

Kuang Jinxin stepped out of the back of the stones little by little and set off towards the lighthouse gate. His pace was not fast, but he was solid.

The three partners who are still in place, although they trust their teammates, they still unconsciously feel heartbroken when they think of the long nails like wooden stakes.

Cold light flashes!

There were far more spikes than the previous shot of small stones, coming out of Fang's mouth sharply, with the sound of wind, heading straight for Kuang Jinxin's face!

The three partners held their breath in unison!

Kuang Jinxin, who had already walked halfway, stopped at this moment and raised his head abruptly, as if he was approaching a spike!

In the blink of an eye, the rainstorm-like spikes had already arrived in front of Kuang Jinxin. From the point of view of the three teammates behind the stone, the spikes had almost stabbed Kuang Jinxin's forehead!

It was at this moment that the accident happened.

The long nail did not move forward, but stopped in front of Kuang Jinxin's forehead without warning. The tip of the nail seemed to touch Kuang Jinxin's skin, but it didn't go forward even a millimeter, and it flew like lightning. After a dozen or twenty meters, he came here just to give Kuang Jinxin a "mosquito bite".

The dense spikes that followed, all stopped at the last minute just like this "senior", as if they had been cast on a "fixing spell".

The spikes were fixed, but Kuang Jinxin did not.

He patiently waited until the last spike stopped, then took a deep breath and shouted at the "rain of spikes", or at the square mouth at the top of the dark tower that formed a diagonal line with them: "Ah, ah what-"

Although this roar is more like a scream, but the spikes seem to be Gu, turned around after this roar, and rushed straight to the top of the tower at a faster and sharper speed than before!

"Clap clap clap-"

Countless long nails are embedded in the walls around the square mouth, and the central part of the curtain-like rain of nails does not fall, and all of them are shot into the square mouth!

"woo..."

There was a painful moan from Fang's mouth, and then there was no movement.

The three partners behind the big rock finally understood, "Come and hit me", that is, damage rebound!

"Captain!" Kuang Jinxin ran back with a look of joy, how could he still have the slightest momentum, "It's solved!"

Xu Wang was stunned, the rebound damage was indeed great, but it wouldn't be an instant kill, right

"Are you sure?" Qian Ai asked dubiously.

Obviously, Captain Xu was not the only one who was clueless.

Wu Sheng didn't ask, just picked up the stone again and threw it vigorously.

The stone landed next to the original row of shooting nails, and rolled out again, but this time it rolled far away, and there was no movement at the top of the tower.

"Facts speak louder than words." Wu Junshi gave his teammates the record, stamped and certified.

The dust has settled.

Even the sea breeze is calm and peaceful.
