The story is divided into two parts, let’s talk about Snow’s side...
Ten minutes ago, as soon as he left the open space, he quickly returned along the route he had traveled before, and arrived at the big crater blown out by the explosion array not long after.
Right there, he successfully intercepted Suantou leading dozens of reinforcements.
According to the plan, Snow's task was to lure this group of people back to the ship, telling them that "the captain has ordered, and you don't need to follow."
In order to achieve this goal, or...to make this lie sound more authentic, Snow has already thought up some rhetoric.
However, Brother Suantou is not a fool, and his behavior style has always been known for being cautious and alert; Facing the one-sided words of Snow, an "outsider", Suantou certainly would not easily believe it, so he asked Snow to lead the way and take them to Verify the so-called "the captain and the others have dealt with the enemy's main force and ordered you to withdraw", and then make a decision.
So, with a somewhat apprehensive mood, Snow led the Suantou trio and dozens of reinforcements they brought over to the open space together...
...
After about ten minutes...
"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Snow said with a helpless expression.
In fact, when he saw that the open space in front of him was empty, he himself was relieved; however, his acting skills were relatively reliable, and he would not let the other party see his inner changes.
"Hmm..." Suantou looked at the dragon corpses, bones, and the marks left after the battle, pondered, and replied, "Okay...it seems that what you said is true."
Even Suantou was fooled, and his two loyal partners, Godfrey and Maddy... Naturally, they couldn't see any flaws in the whole thing; as for the other sailors, they were basically combatants, mainly fighting with hands. , seldom think about problems; what are the captains and cadres doing... they don't ask.
"Then..." After thinking for a few seconds, Suantou looked at Snow again and asked, "What about you? Will you go on the boat with us?"
"No, I'm just in charge of delivering a message to you, and I'll follow up." Snow replied.
"Oh?" Suantou was suspicious after all, and he read again, "The captain didn't let us go, but allowed you guys... um... alliance..." He didn't know that Blackbeard had turned against Brother Jue and the others, so his attitude I still didn't dare to be too pretentious, "... Shall we go together?"
"Is there anything wrong?" Snow continued, "Since you're so worried, why don't you go after me... Ask your captain yourself?"
Although he was deceiving, his attitude sounded reckless, more true than the truth.
Sure enough, when Suan Tou heard it, he was scared at the time: "Uh... no no, then it will be avoided."
Not to mention a character like Suantou, even the cadres on the ship would not dare to question the captain's orders casually, and "disobedience" is a forbidden area that must not be touched.
Right now, Suantou basically believes that the order "the captain won't let you follow" is true. If he still insists on following, then...with Blackbeard's capricious and cruel temperament, it is very likely that a person who is not I was happy to kill the garlic.
"Really..." Snow continued to maintain his calm look, shrugging his shoulders, "Then... let's stay here."
What he meant was—you can take those people back with you.
"Hmm..." Suantou was indeed about to leave now, but he seemed to have faintly sensed something strange, so he dawdled in place and asked tentatively, "Mr. Snow... I don't know... you want How to keep up with the captain and the others?" He said, turning his head and glanced at the side of the open space, "Should we still follow that set of 'marks'?"
This sentence, this look... is a trap.
An extremely dangerous trap that can instantly expose Snow's lies.
After all, Suantou is an old man, very cunning. In fact, there is no mark at all in the direction he indicated with his eyes; the real mark... Suantou has already seen it, and it is not in that direction.
These marks can only be recognized by sailors above the level of the small leader of their Blackbeard Pirates; because Blackbeard said before that he should leave marks to guide the reinforcements to keep up, so Mr. Vogue has been drawing along the way, even with the players They separated, and he didn't stop... Anyway, the players couldn't recognize those marks, and couldn't see where they pointed.
At the moment, the garlic question is a test...
If Snow looks at the direction where there is no mark and replies: "Yes, I am going to follow that mark to catch up." It means... no one taught him how to recognize the mark at all, and all the things he said before are also lies. , he just wanted to trick Suan Tou back to the ship with reinforcements.
And if Snow wasn't fooled by this, then he also had to explain how he was going to keep up with the Blackbeard and his party who had been gone for a long time. If he couldn't explain clearly...it was also suspicious.
"Hey! Why are you still here?"
Just as Suantun's trap question came out and Snow was about to respond, another voice suddenly sounded.
"Let me tell you a message, does it take that long?" Feng Bujue walked out from behind the tree where the real mark was while talking.
"Cut..." Snow's reaction was also quick, and he immediately replied in an impatient tone, "Didn't you see it yourself? People are worried and think I am lying, so come with me to take a look."
"What the hell?" Feng Bujue wasn't as gentlemanly as Snow was. He stared and spoke in a hooligan voice, walked quickly towards the garlic, and shouted loudly, "It's against you! Who are you? Your captain is waiting for us to arrive for the next step... He got impatient with waiting five minutes ago, and asked me to come back as quickly as possible to see what's going on... It turned out that you are dragging your feet here, you want to die, don’t you?” When he said this, he really pulled out his knife, “Otherwise, I will just chop off your head and explain to your captain. "
Suan Tou listened to this line and watched the battle, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Damn... what am I thinking... the other party is the man who didn't realize it, the man who wiped out the Mad-Eyes Pirates with a single knife... The captain has already confirmed that he has formed an alliance with him, why should I pretend to be suspicious of him? companion of…”
After scolding himself inwardly, Suan Tou quickly changed his expression, and said: "I'm sorry! We'll retreat now! I won't bother you guys anymore!"
After all, he turned his head and walked away as if fleeing for his life. While trotting, he gestured to the sailors, telling them to stop talking nonsense and retreat quickly.
Just like that, dozens of people rushed back into the woods and turned back the same way.
"It's so dangerous..." After the group of people had gone far away, Feng Bujue looked at Snow, and said with a smile, "Heh... If I hadn't been careful and waited for you here, your kid would probably be successful." planted here."
"Hmph..." Snow also smiled, "I'm not as naive as you think, when Suantou said 'mark', I already guessed what he wanted to do...I won't fall for that kind of trap. If you don't show up, I'll just say that I don't know any signs, but I will catch up with you through some kind of 'contact method between us travelers from another world'. As for the specific method... no comment. In that way, he It’s not easy to say more.”
"Okay~ okay~ I'll count it as unnecessary." Feng Bujue retracted the knife in its scabbard, and said again, "Oh, by the way, let me introduce... this is 'Ken'."
When Brother Jue said this, his eyes were looking behind Snow.
Snow was also taken aback, and instinctively responded: "Who?" and turned his head to follow the other party's gaze.
As a result, he jumped blindly as soon as his face turned ninety degrees.
"Wow!" Snow really took a small step, looked at "Ken" and said, "When did you stand behind me?"
Chi Tie ignored him, just tilted his head, looked at Brother Jue with a smile, and said, "Is this kid's level brought up by training?"
"Ah, it's obvious..." Feng Bujue replied noncommittally.
"Wait a minute... level?" Snow looked at the rather slender-looking NC in amazement, thought quickly for a few seconds, and then said, "Are you... a derivative?"
"So that's how it is..." Chi Tie's expression changed slightly, "The mind turns quite quickly."
"About his identity, I'll explain to you later on the road." Feng Bujue said, "Now... since the reinforcements have been fooled away by our tricks, the next step is to find Honghu first and then..."
scold-
At this moment, Brother Jue's words were interrupted by a burst of wind.
Accompanied by that sudden sound, a white shadow sprang out from the forest behind him, and slowed down while approaching him, until a dodge fell in front of him.
"Ha... ha..." Honghu lay down on the ground, looked at the three people standing around him and watched him, gasped for a few times, and then said intermittently, "Ha... I... ha... my hand… arm…”
"See~ We're not blind." Feng Bujue raised his voice, and slowly squatted down beside Honghu, and quickly took out the Lin Zhibao [Qi Xu Rulin] from his luggage, and launched a fire at Honghu. Item special effects, "But you are also very capable. If you don't see me for a while, the forearms of both arms are blown off."
The special effect of the orb is "instantly heals the target's injuries (cooling time is 24 hours; only wound healing and limb repair; debuffs such as diseases, curses, poisoning, etc. cannot be relieved)". An incredible speed "instantly" grows back.
"I'm not in the mood to joke with you..." Honghu was not polite to Brother Jue. After his wounds healed and he regained the ability to retrieve objects, he immediately took out a bottle of survival value supplement from his luggage and drank it. Then he said, "In order for Blackbeard to 'fall into the trap', these hands have to be handed over..."(.)
