Time, back to more than half an hour ago.
Even though the weather at sea is sunny and sunny, as long as you dive a little below the surface of the sea, your surroundings will become invisible.
However, for Erdini, this is not a problem.
Erdini has a variety of abilities that are very suitable for operating under the sea, one of which is "night vision".
According to what he said, he was previously tortured with a cruel torture that does not leave wounds but can cause blindness. The specific method is: put fresh horse urine in a sealed bucket, then light a fire, and then put The man's head was pressed in, and he was repeatedly tortured until the horse urine evaporated, but the result was that his eyes were not only not blind, but he could see things in various turbid liquids.
In addition, Erdini also has the ability to breathe underwater.
Also according to his own account, he had also been waterboarded before, a form of torture or torture that creates the feeling of being on the verge of drowning. After years of people's research and development, many improvements and variants have appeared, and "golden paper paste Buddha face" is one of them. The simplest and most traditional method is to repeatedly press the person's head into the water. Pull it up at the critical point of suffocation, and continue to cycle until the executioner achieves his goal. After repeated tortures, but in the end, he didn't even confess a fart. Moreover, his lungs mutated, and growths grew on both sides of his chin. gill.
There are many "legends" like this, and the authenticity cannot be verified.
Maybe these abilities of Erdini are innate, he just made up some torture stories to build his image of a tough guy, or maybe what he said is all the truth, which means that Erdini's real ability is actually at the extreme level. The body mutates in pain to adapt to the harsh environment.
In any case, as Blackbeard's right-hand man, Erdini's strength is definitely not bad. If you want to compare it, it should be similar to the middle-level "Shi Guan".
It was precisely because of his confidence in his strength and special abilities that Blackbeard sent him to the sea to investigate.
Erdini lived up to Blackbeard's trust. After jumping off the boat, he broke through the sea like a fish, and swam quickly to the sea area where the "cannonball" fell just now.
It didn't take long before he discovered the "cannonball" created by the "Master" that was still sinking in the sea water.
Since Erdini got the order to "investigate" the situation of this thing, he must have contact with it. Therefore, after confirming the target, he swam over with great energy and cautiously.
However, at this time, he didn't know that the "thing" in front of him could not be dealt with by relying on "caution"
Ten seconds later, Erdini came near the cannonball, and his swimming speed gradually slowed down.
Through the sea water, what Erdini saw was a metal sphere exuding a faint silver glow. He observed it for a few seconds, and then said in his heart: "The captain's worry is indeed right, this thing is not unusual no matter how you look at it. shells, but if some kind of magic prop is left unattended, it is likely to cause some kind of mutation that is not good for us."
Erdini also has some experience in handling such items. Generally speaking, if you don't touch it directly with your hands, it won't trigger any effect.
Thinking of this, Erdini took off his shirt, ready to "wrap up" this thing and take it away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, before he touched the sphere, something terrible happened
But seeing the silver metal ball burst open suddenly, turning into a pool of mercury-like, irregularly shaped matter, its volume expanded to a point larger than Erdini's entire body in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Erdini's reaction was also extremely fast. Almost at the same moment as the explosion occurred, he turned around and retreated.
It's a pity that he was too close to the ball, after all, it was too late to escape from the danger zone.
Soon, thick liquid metal wrapped around Erdini and poured into his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears
time, back to the present.
boom
The figure fell to the ground and the deck shattered.
The one who appeared in front of everyone was Erdini, the first mate of Queen Anna's Revenge.
But at this moment, his appearance looked quite abnormal.
His eyes had lost their pupils, and the two eye sockets were filled with silver.
There was no clothing left on his body, and 80% of his body was covered with a silver metal-like substance.
The most astonishing thing was that the strange murderous intent emanating from him seemed to have substance, forcing the pirates on the deck to retreat one after another.
"Mr. Erdini, what's the matter with you?" A sailor who usually had a good relationship with Erdini stepped forward and asked tentatively.
"Don't go there! You idiot! That's not at all." An old crew member standing near him immediately cursed, trying to call him back.
But it was too late.
At that moment, Erdini shot without warning, piercing the sailor's chest with a punch.
The latter looked horrified and died with regret.
"Heh" Erdini, or rather, the "parasite that has controlled Erdini's body", showed a smirk.
This kind of smile was no stranger to Feng Bujue and most of the people on this ship. They all knew that this was the expression they would have when they were happy and satisfied in killing.
"Be careful!" After three seconds, Honghu was the first to react, and shouted loudly, "This guy is going to kill!"
As an outsider who doesn't know Erdini at all, Honghu makes an accurate judgment quickly and without any emotional factors.
As he shouted, he called out his weapon.
With a snap of the fingers, there was only a "whoosh", and a light arrow flew towards Erdini's face.
ping
However, in less than half a second, with a crisp sound, Erdini firmly held the light arrow shot by Honghu with his hand covered with silver liquid.
"The speed and reflexes are ridiculously fast, and you can grab pure energy attacks with your bare hands." Seeing this, Snow said solemnly, "I'm afraid this guy is hard to deal with."
"Hmph," Honghu chuckled, and continued, "I knew before I made a move that he could capture energy."
Before the words fell, there was another ear-piercing strange sound of "cracking" in the distance.
It turned out that the arrow that Honghu shot just now had a hidden trick, and in an instant, the light arrow had exploded in Erdini's hands, and turned into a "light array", covering the latter in it.
"Huh?" After Erdini was trapped in the formation, although a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he did not show any panic.
After thinking for a few seconds, he raised his arm and punched the light wall in front of him.
no
The violent shock echoed in the spherical light array, shaking Erdini himself a few times, but he didn't seem to have suffered any damage.
On the contrary, the light array itself cracked just under this blow.
"Hey, the whole body is armed with domineering aura, right?" Seeing this, Feng Bujue vomited in a timely manner, "I have to take care of it!"
While speaking, Brother Jue was already rolling up his arms and sleeves, eager to try.
Feng Bujue still felt a little sorry for Blackbeard when he cut off the Brown Algae before, because he did understand the kind of "only one collection is missing but one of them" Feeling that right now, there is an opportunity to contribute to the Pirates immediately, and Brother Jue is naturally obliged.
But just as he was about to rush out
bang bang
The familiar, strange footsteps sounded again.
Immediately afterwards, Blackbeard slowly walked out from a certain cabin leading to the lower deck.
"I thought there was something wrong with the noise." Blackbeard said as he walked, and went straight to Erdini. "It turns out that my first mate is back."
At this moment, Erdini also used a wave of continuous attacks to shatter the barrier made by Honghu.
At this moment, the No. 1 and No. 2 characters of the Blackbeard Pirates on the bloody deck after the fierce battle actually formed a confrontation.
"Heh, it's a good show to watch." Feng Bujue, who wanted to do it himself just now, completely restrained his fighting spirit, and put on the appearance of a melon-eating crowd.
"Indeed." Even Honghu put away his bow and said softly, "So far, we haven't seen the actual performance of Blackbeard in battle, so we can take this opportunity to observe."
When the two players are talking, the other side
Erdini had already spoken back: "I'm not your first mate."
His voice has changed slightly, and it sounds like the original Erdini dropped a handful of thumbtacks down his throat.
"Then who are you?" Blackbeard asked coldly.
"No one." The other party replied, "Of course, I don't mind using the name of the original owner of this body."
"Understood." When Blackbeard read these three words, he spoke very slowly, and a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in his eyes, "The implication is that my first mate can't come back anymore, right?"
"Hehehe" the parasite laughed, and he didn't answer Blackbeard's question, because the answer was already obvious.
"Sure enough, this man is a very important person on this ship, right?" The parasite laughed a few times before continuing, "When I devoured him, I felt that this guy's will was so strong that I was surprised." , I spent a long time in the spiritual realm to torture him with unimaginably high intensity, but I still couldn't make his will give in. In desperation, I could only destroy his brain to a certain extent from the physical level , and this is how I gained control of this body."
When he said this, he paused, and looked around: "Now that I think about it, the reason why he would rather endure great pain and resist until the last moment is to buy time for you guys. Get out of here without him, so you don't have to face me."
"Ha!" At this point, he laughed quite proudly, "It's really ironic. In fact, if he doesn't come to approach me, then at most I will be parasitic on some kind of sea creature, and then become a sea creature. The monster came to attack you, but the upper limit of that kind of body is nothing compared to that of the first mate." He shrugged, "I have to say that your luck is really not very good."
His words successfully angered the surrounding pirates.
Obviously, Erdini's popularity on the ship is very high. Even in the eyes of ordinary people, he is a villain to be feared, but in the eyes of pirates, this is a villain worthy of their respect.
The three views and friendship of the pirates are very strange, and they cannot be clearly explained in a few words.
They are after wealth, but not just wealth.
They admire power, but sometimes refuse to bow to it.
They would swear at each other, fight, and even kill each other, but that wouldn't change their true fraternity with each other.
It is from such a group of people that Erdini has won respect.
Before he died, he gave his last drop of blood for this brutal, sinful, inexplicable but inseparable bond.
Even for Blackbeard, he really deserves the word "important".
"Luck?" Blackbeard was silent for a few seconds after listening to the parasite's narration, and then he replied, "No, it has nothing to do with luck. It was I who asked him to go to sea to investigate. Inadvertently, it led to the death of the subordinates."
When Blackbeard said this, his tone was very calm. He walked a few steps, came to a wooden barrel, and picked up a bottle of rum that was put on the barrel lid and someone had drunk half of it. liquor.
"I'm sorry that Erdini left us," he said next, speaking more to the crew, "He was my best man, better than any of you slackers. He is also the purest tough guy I know, one of the few real guys left in the sea of chaos, he is a hundred times stronger than those sissies who are strong on the outside, and he has saved my life more than once."
Having said that, Blackbeard silently lowered his eyes and paused for a few seconds.
Then, raising the bottle in his hand, he continued: "To Erdini, a faithful friend, a terrible orator, and a villain who upholds the spirit of old-fashioned pirates."
After all, he poured about a glass of wine onto the deck in a silent and solemn atmosphere, and then he picked up the bottle and took a few sips.
After the filling, Blackbeard suddenly picked up the bottle and threw it at the parasite's face as if venting his anger.
The parasite didn't dodge, not because he couldn't dodge, but because such a flying wine bottle couldn't do him any harm at all.
Ping bell
In the sound of shattering glass.
Blackbeard turned around again, and walked towards the cabin again.
Unlike what Feng Bujue and the others predicted, Blackbeard didn't choose to do it himself. He just left three words "Kill him" in an understatement tone after finishing all these and before leaving the deck. .
