Volume 1: The Storm of the Sea Chapter 53 The Ark is adrift
Stormy waves, rushing in this vast sea. Storms covered the sky, torrential rain poured down from the sky, and disappeared into the sea.
In the overlapping waves, a small boat looms ahead, and that is the Ark of Breaking Waves.
"Boom"
The clouds were intertwined, lightning flashed, and thunder exploded, illuminating the gloomy sky.
A flash of light shone on Knox's face, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
Perhaps the thunder was too terrifying, and it suddenly woke up Knox's unconscious consciousness, and slowly, he opened his eyes.
"Knox, Knox"
Viscount Eric stretched out his right hand and nudged Knox lightly.
"Lord Viscount, what's wrong with Knox, is there a reaction?"
Bourcho, who was on the side, also approached and asked about Knox's situation.
Eric shook his head and said to Bourcho: "I haven't woken up yet, but I seem to have reacted under the thunder just now." ”
"Alas, Captain Knox is indeed not lightly injured. But your hand, Lord Viscount, ......"
As he spoke, Bourcho turned his gaze to Eric's arm, the left hand that had been infused with too much energy to fight the fused ghouls.
With his right hand squeezing his left arm, Eric revealed a wry smile and said, "It looks like there's no reaction, no." Thinking about it, too, they have forced themselves to that part, and they are lucky to be able to pick up a life. ”
His left hand was completely immobile, and he didn't even feel anything when he pressed it. If you prick it with a needle, it is barely enough that there is still a slight pain, which proves that this arm is not completely dead.
Maybe it was the encounter in the dream on the battleship before, and the left hand with slight pain may not be able to recover. With this thought in mind, Eric has been for three days.
However, having already picked up a life from the fused corpse, the loss of an arm is not a difficult price to pay.
"Boom!"
There was another thunderclap, resounding in the middle of the sea.
"Hiss......"
Knox, who had already shown some signs of a revival of consciousness, did react.
Although this sound was silent, Bourcho and Viscount Eric on the side could hear it clearly, and they immediately attracted their attention again.
"No... Knox, are you awake?"
Eric glanced at it, only to find that Knox's eyes had narrowed slightly, and his mouth opened and closed slightly, as if he was saying something.
"Water...... Water ......"
It wasn't until he brought his ear close to his mouth that he could hear Knox's needs.
"Quick, Bourcho, quick, the water is with you. ”
Seeing Knox wake up like this, Eric hurriedly beckoned Bourcho and asked him to bring the hydration bag.
Bourcho did not dare to slack off, and immediately picked up the water bag and handed it to Viscount Eric. Viscount Eric had just taken the water bag, looked at it, and threw it to Bourcho.
"Let's replace it with our only ordinary water bladder, and the insect skin is still a little bad for the wounded to drink. ”
"Yes, Lord Viscount! ”
It's not that the water in the insect skin sac can't be drunk, even if the insect skin is applied to the wound, there is nothing wrong with it, and drinking water alone will definitely not be harmful.
It's just that the water contained in the skin of this insect may be impregnated, and there will always be a bitter taste. It's okay to drink it normally, but it is better to treat a person who has just woken up from a coma, or use slightly better water.
Bourcho rummaged for a moment, took out a water bladder, looked at it carefully, and handed it to Viscount Eric.
Eric glanced at it, didn't notice anything wrong, and unscrewed the water bladder, leaning against the corner of Knox's mouth, tilting slightly.
It took a long time to drink water in this way, and it took only three or two sips of water to pour it for a long time, but it finally relieved Knox's thirst.
The cold water entered his stomach, and the groggy Knox only felt a thunderbolt cross his mind, and suddenly came to his senses.
"Ahh......h Ahem......"
He vaguely remembered the scene before he fell unconscious, and the tentacles of the fused corpse monster were about to wave down, and he sat up in fright.
I used too much force, choking the water that was still flowing down my throat at once, and I coughed for a while.
"Knox, you...... Are you okay. ”
Knox's sudden cough startled everyone, but he was able to stand up as soon as he woke up, and he seemed to be in good shape.
Eric saw that he was awake and hurriedly asked about his physical condition and feelings.
"Hey, it's just a cough, it's just choking, how can there be a ......?"
Knox, who had just woken up, suddenly didn't remember the memory of his fainting, and subconsciously thought that Eric was asking questions because he was coughing.
Fortunately, Knox's mind was not confused, and he had already reacted before the words fell, and quickly changed his words and said, "Hmm...... It's fine, but I'm a little injured, and I'm probably better. ”
Hearing the news that they were safe, Eric and Bourcho finally took a breather.
Returning to his senses, Knox looked around, the vast ocean was really a little frightening, and he couldn't help asking, "What is this......?" Where are we, how did we get to sea, what have I experienced?"
"It's on the Ark of Breaking Waves, and we're out to sea. As for what happened after you fell unconscious, let Bourgeo tell you. ”
Seeing that Knox had woken up and his injuries were stable, Eric finally relented and walked towards the bow of the boat.
It's almost time to see if it's time for him and Bourcho to take over from Zelin and Allezi to drive the Ark of Breaking Waves. However, his own extraordinary strength is not weak, so he will leave Bourcho and Knox to sort out first, and wait for the other two to come back to take care of him, and then call Bourcho away.
Eric walked away in their place, and Bourcho began to tell Knox about the day's events.
"Alex and I helped Zelin for a while, and although Zelin fainted, he came to his senses after a while. It's just that his injuries are still there, and his extraordinary strength has consumed most of it, so he still needs to be helped to walk. ”
"Halfway through, we still can't rest assured that Lord Viscount and you, the two of them have completely lost their combat effectiveness, and if they go to the battlefield again, they can only die, so I let the two of them support and go back, and I rushed over. ”
Knox was a little surprised and a little moved: "Hey, dead fatty, I didn't expect you to be quite affectionate, even if I didn't mistake you." ”
As soon as he said this, Bourcho was a little embarrassed, and it was difficult for him to speak. But he couldn't resist Knox's questioning, and he spoke hesitantly.
"I didn't save you, the monster was already dead. ”
"When I arrived, the fused corpse raised its whip at you, and I hurriedly used my supernatural strength to barely block one of the fused corpse attacks. ”
"Didn't you save my life, I owe you this time. ”
Although Bourcho kept saying that it was not his credit, Knox really didn't believe it when it came to the scene he was talking about.
"Hey, that monster is already at the end of its crossbow, and after I blocked the last attack, it didn't launch another attack, and it was paralyzed. So even if you don't have me, your injuries won't be too serious, and you may not be able to fight at once. ”
Bourcho doesn't ask for credit, it's definitely true of this kind of life and death.
"Even if I owe you my life, I can't stand it. ”
Knox laughed self-deprecatingly, then turned to Bourcho with a serious face, "Is that monster dead like that?
"No, I couldn't light a fire if I wanted to. By the time they returned, the corpse of the fused corpse was gone, and although there were a few bones left on the ground, the number was too small. ”
"In addition, the fish-man we caught also ran away, so I guess there was some connection during this period. ”
"But we're gone, and even if there's any problem, it won't stop us, so you don't have to worry about that. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Knox was relieved, perhaps the power of the fused corpse monster shocked him too much, and he couldn't confirm that its death still made Knox have a strange demeanor.
"Anyway, we're all on that Ark of the Waves, and we're four of us, in teams of two, to power the Ark. Although I walked in the direction indicated by the Molten Core for a long time, I found nothing. You've been in a coma for more than three days now, and your injuries are quite serious, so now that you're awake, you'll recuperate. ”
"Aretz and Zelin are here, I have to go for a shift, or Lord Viscount will say I'm lazy. ”
Glancing at the two men who had come over, Bourcho greeted him, explained a little about his business, and walked towards Viscount Eric.
"Good boys, hiss...... Ahh......h
Watching the two come over, as the captain, the basic face still has to be a little bit. I wanted to use too much force, and I suddenly touched the pain on my body, and I shouted out at once. This is a loss of face.
"Tap, Captain (Captain Knox). ”
Bourcho's reminder made the two of them think how heavy Knox's injuries were, but the two of them were startled all of a sudden.
"It's okay, it's okay, what did Bourgeois's fat man tell you, I'm bony and strong. ”
Holding back the embarrassment, Knox didn't argue with the two and began to talk about other things.
Looking at Eric again, a pale cyan light spread from his left hand, gradually merging into the lower wall of the Ark of Broken Waves.
Qingmang flows according to inexplicable rules, and a mysterious magic circle can be vaguely seen, and Qingmang flows in the magic circle, condensed into runes again and again, and then transformed into the power of the Wavebreaking Ark.
The Ark had been traveling for nearly three days, and Bourcho was already very skilled at charging the Ark, and as soon as he raised his hand, a stream of bright silver light flowed into this unknown circle.
Perhaps it was the peculiarity of Bourcho's strength, that he was much more efficient at driving the ark than Zelin Aleziko.
"It's also really strange, the left hand, which was scrapped due to energy accumulation, is much better than the other parts in terms of power output. ”
Looking at his hands, Eric didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"My strength is indeed stronger now than before, but I have a hand for this, so I have to ......"
His mouth was still muttering, but Eric himself was confused.
