Chapter Forty-Eight: A Sudden Crisis
After a month and a half of continuous killing, Zhao Hao has not only harvested a large amount of various possessions, but his experience has also risen rapidly, and the professional level of Amazon has been upgraded to level eighteen in advance, and even on the road to level nineteen, he has gone a long way.
It can be said that the most difficult task issued by the original system has now been completed by him, and in all the plots of the world in the future, every time one more person is killed, it will mean that Zhao Hao has improved the task evaluation after returning to reality!
At the same time, with the help of Xiaohu's bravery, this guy did not sail for a while, and occasionally found one or two ancient shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea, so he went to the sea to collect some shipwreck relics hidden in them, which also became Zhao Hao's flavoring on the road of killing and upgrading, and a batch of various colored porcelain, gold and silver ornaments have been included in his bag.
Since this trip was actually a simple journey of killing and plundering, his name Zhao Hao also inevitably spread to Dongying and even some parts of Southeast Asia as his killings continued to increase and the scope of looting continued to expand.
People in those places knew that there was a man named Zhao Hao in the Ming Dynasty, who was engaged in robbing pirates and slaughtering pirates.
In the eyes of ordinary people and officials of various countries, he is lovely and respectable, because he has done what they want to do but can't, so that in some superstitious places, people have begun to build temples and burn incense for him.
But in the eyes of the pirates and pirates, the name Zhao Hao has simply become their nightmare, it is synonymous with a demon king, more than 10,000 pirates who begged for a living at sea have died at his hands, which makes people can't help but talk about it and smell it cold.
In this era, how many pirates were entrenched in the entire area around the East China Sea?
In just over a month, more than 10,000 people died in Zhao Hao's hands, and the large and small pirate groups and forces that were wiped out almost accounted for more than half of this area.
Intimidated by Zhao Hao's professional extermination policy of Chiguoguo, the remaining small and half of the Japanese group has been even more vigilant during this period of time, and they dare not continue to go out to loot, lest one of them accidentally be targeted by that person and recruit him.
Not to mention that he took the initiative to go to the territory of the Ming Dynasty to do coastal looting business, which was basically an act of looking for death.
This made it so that for a long time to come, those Dongying pirates, ronins, and down-and-out samurai who often engaged in sabotage and robbery activities in various parts of the Celestial Empire's coast disappeared one after another, and did not dare to go west.
I have to say that in ancient times, the people of the Celestial Empire were still too honest, and most of the warriors were only active in a certain area of the territory.
Although it is true that the Celestial Empire was the most developed region in the world for most of the time, this also made the people within its territory too introverted and unwilling to go out to see other worlds, limiting their horizons, especially in the few hundred years closer to modern times, this trend became even stricter.
This is a bit like the United States in the real world, because they are the world's first power, and ordinary people are not only immersed in their own small world, but in this era of extremely developed networks, they can't even figure out some national common sense, and they don't even have the interest to learn about it.
If it weren't for the coincidence that Zhao Hao crossed over to this plane this time, not to mention taking the initiative to attack and go to sea to kill and plunder, then the more than 3,000 Japanese ronins who had already arrived in the territory of the Ming Dynasty might have to cause much loss and damage to the people of the Celestial Empire.
"In general, Ben Shao is also contributing to the nation this time and seeking benefits for the people, which is a great thing~!"
Zhao Hao looked at the ocean in front of him a little distracted at this time, still maintaining the posture of stepping on the edge of the boat with his hands and arms, and the oncoming sea breeze hung up his shirt and wrinkled his black hair, but it could not erase the trace of complexity in his heart.
In just over a month, Zhao Hao slaughtered tens of thousands of living beings after all, it was not a monster eroded by the energy of hell in the dark world, but a living person, although the nationality is different, and the other party is also a group of pirates who do all kinds of evil, but after all, they are also people, people who can talk and think like themselves.
As the saying goes, killing one person is a crime, killing 10,000 people is a male, and killing a million people is the male of the male.
Zhao Hao has now killed tens of thousands of people in order to upgrade his experience, and in this case he is already qualified to be called a male.
But now in his heart, the mood is a little complicated, it is right to say that it is lonely, and it is also a very strange feeling to say that it is emotional.
Zhao Hao did not position his killing of tens of thousands of people as a crime, because these crimes were not committed in his own country, and no one overseas dared to convict him in this era.
As for the so-called guilt, there really isn't much left in Zhao Hao's heart at the moment, because in his heart, he simply took it for granted that he killed those widows, and it was really natural for them to be killed by themselves, so where did the guilt come from?
"Hehe, I have to say, Ben Shao's psychological element is really unexpected, it seems to be a few streets away from the other protagonists, so many people fell under my sword, and I didn't leave much shadow in my heart. ”
Zhao Hao glanced at the progress of the voyage under his sight, estimated the time of the return trip, and then lay on the boat with an indifferent face, letting the sun shine on him, looking relaxed and comfortable.
In fact, how did he know that the reason why he didn't feel sorry for himself when he killed someone like the protagonists of other graphic novels, doubted himself, and denied himself, which caused some mental illness and mental inadequacy.
A small part of the credit is not because of how good Zhao Hao's psychological qualities are, but because of his high energy attributes and strong ability to passively resist various psychological problems.
As for the other half of the credit, it is actually due to the magical power system of the dark professional.
After fighting monsters and killing people, most of the abilities, energy, resentment, karma, etc. on the other party will be transformed into their own experience through special laws, which not only cannot affect him, but can also promote the growth of his own profession.
In the real world, Zhao Hao once learned about such a piece of information on the Internet, I don't know whether it's true or not, but it seems to be very reasonable.
It was a professional cattle slaughterer who had slaughtered hundreds of live beef cattle during his career, and this situation seemed to be a normal professional behavior, with little or no effect on his life in theory.
But since the craftsman began to slaughter cattle and animals, the pet dogs that were originally raised in the family seem to be not very good with him, and they usually avoid him, and when they see them, they are more afraid than they used to flatter.
And this situation is also with the increase in the number of cattle slaughtered by the cattle slaughterer, and gradually becomes stricter, until finally, this person seems to be directly isolated from the animals around him, and no animal dares to approach him in normal times, why is this?
The reason for this cannot be explained from the perspective of modern science, but if you put it from the standpoint of a martial artist, a monk, or a Buddhist, the reason is clear.
Guy killed too many creatures, and the beef cattle he slaughtered would have some blood qi, spiritual power, or resentment, karma and other energy attached to him.
Animals are not only sensitive, but also mentally more sensitive than humans because of their simple intelligence, and when they feel this part of the negative energy in the cattle slaughterer, they will naturally stay away, even fear, or simply avoid it.
As for the current Zhao Hao, he also slaughtered tens of thousands of living beings, and those killed by him were still human beings who claimed to be the chief of all spirits.
But because he had already turned professionally in the dark world, although he was now in a different plane, the laws of the World Stone were still in effect.
Those so-called martial artists' evil spirits, Taoist spiritual and spiritual resentment, or Buddhism's so-called karma, etc., can not erode Zhao Hao's body and mind, but will be absorbed by his professional laws into his own experience.
I have to say that the laws of the dark world are really a bit simple and rude, but in these simple and rude things, it is precisely the fundamental reason why Zhao Hao can kill people without being disturbed
"Warning! Warning! Master, 29.9 kilometers behind you, Xiaohu found a strong storm coming in your direction, and Xiaohu detected strong wave fluctuations in the sea level, and is approaching rapidly, please be prepared to resist.
The storm is currently 29.8 km away, 29.7 km, 29.6 km, 20.3 km from the owner's location"
Just when Zhao Hao was immersed in the warm sunshine and was stunned, Xiaohu's prompt voice suddenly came to his head.
Only about five or six minutes later, but the storm behind it had already spanned a distance of ten kilometers, and it was rapidly approaching this side.
Seeing this, Zhao Hao was naturally surprised, the whole person stood up from the boat, turned around and looked at the sky behind him, and swept his eyes without vain, and at the end of the sky, it seemed that there was really a black line that was constantly shining expanding, and the speed was incredible.
"Is this a storm? Or is it a typhoon? Now this season~~ a typhoon is reasonable, but why do I feel a little panicked now? Is something bad about happening?"
Zhao Hao looked at the rainstorm clouds in the distance, which gradually expanded from one to the black line and expanded into a ball of cotton, and strong lightning was brewing in it.
Somehow, looking at that scene, Zhao Hao's heart felt a sense of crisis for no reason.
"Xiaohu, immediately open the map for me and check if there are any islands in the nearby waters!"
"I regret to inform you, host, that there are no islands in the thirty kilometers of the sea nearby, not even the larger coral reefs. ”
Listening to Xiaohu's words, Zhao Hao's heart sank unconsciously, looking at the black rain clouds that were getting closer and closer to him, the sense of foreboding in his subconscious became stronger and stronger.
According to the host's real environment, the system releases a random task "Killing the Dragon King Whale", the task difficulty is three stars, the task is enforced, please prepare for the task.
Tips: The dragon king whale has cultivated the ancient veins for more than 4,000 years, and there is a trace of true dragon blood in the body, and its body size belongs to a huge category compared to the host, and its intelligence level is relatively low. ”
"Your sister's dragon king whale! This is obviously a good plane of Xiaoao Jianghu!?Such a species of Xianxia has come out?Ancient relics?There is still a trace of real dragon blood in the body!?You play with me, right!!?"
