Chapter 14. The fighting water monster Yini showed her skills and focused on the two brothers to fry the giant fish

Is it hard to kill a monster in the game?

It's not difficult, as long as you understand the weaknesses of monsters, understand the killing mechanism arranged by the game, and use the skills you master reasonably, you can defeat all monsters.

This is the guideline for all games.

Referring to this criterion, Li Weiji quickly thought about the corresponding conditions.

The first is the weakness of the water monster. According to the comprehensive analysis of various information collected before, the weakness of the water monster has been exposed, and the dark and lightless environment has greatly weakened its strength.

The second is the mechanic of killing water monsters. There is no information revealing this at the moment, and it is obvious that it will be gradually figured out after the monster reveals its true form.

Finally, there is the use of skills. At present, I have too many skills to use, and I am not very handy enough to use them, but I have learned a lot after being honed by the wind of ashes and whispering.

Thinking of this, Li Weiji had a flash of inspiration: the timing of the appearance of Ash Whispering Wind was too appropriate, it seemed that it was specially arranged by the game, just to give himself more experience in actual combat before dealing with water monsters.

With a smile, Li Weiji knew that he had stepped on the potential progress bar of the game, and as long as there were no other accidents, he should have a 100% chance of winning against the water monster.

Inni and Li Yi stepped out of the cabin, followed by Innie's son, Vico, to the aft deck.

When the five of them gathered, Yini took out a round steel cage full of barbs, which was about the size of Li Weiji's head, and the gap between the steel bars was less than 5 millimeters, so that almost no other freshwater fish could burrow into the cage except for the freshly hatched fry.

Ini took a cable and tied the steel cage to the anchor nail at the stern of the boat, carefully opened the cage, condensed the power of the goddess Merando into it, and closed the cage lightly.

"This cage is an ancestral technique of my family, originally used to hunt sharks. The cage is coated with paralyzing poison, which begins to work when it enters the bloodstream, but the larger the creature, the slower it becomes. Once the poison is in effect, I can guarantee that it will be completely incapacitated for a period of time. The specific duration also depends on the metabolism speed of the water monster. I once used the same dose of the same concentration of poison to make a brown bear defenseless for fifteen minutes. Yi Ni told her glorious history, and Li Yi gave a thumbs up when she heard it, but Li Weiji and Lingbao were more concerned about the time data hidden in the words.

Ini continued: "If I throw the bait into the water in a moment, the underwater creatures will definitely be attracted by the divine power, and the water monster is no exception, given its size, it is not a problem to swallow this steel cage in one gulp. When the time comes, we will drive the boat and drag it until Vico confirms that the poison is in effect. ”

Li Weiji and Lingbao nodded in agreement.

Li Yi was a little confused and asked, "How can you tell if the water monster has eaten the bait?" How can you tell if a poison is working? ”

Li Weiji explained: "Have you paid attention to this steel cage and found any characteristics?"

Li Yi stared at the steel cage and said, "It's very green." Oh, I see, if you can't see the green light underwater, it means that the steel cage is swallowed. ”

Li Weiji said: "Not bad. When the monster swallows the bait, it will definitely make a move, and Brother Vico can judge the poisoning of the monster by the force on the hull. ”

"Good. I understand. Go on. Li Yi has the style of asking questions shamelessly.

Ini added, "Once we determine that the water monster is poisoned, we will have to trouble the two Seraphic Angels to kill the enemy bravely."

When Li Yi heard this, he hurriedly said, "No." I don't know how to fight in the water. ”

Hearing this, Vico walked into the cabin, and after a moment came out with a harpoon gun, and said, "Your Excellency, you can shoot on the ship with this gun."

After that, Vico explained the use of the harpoon gun to Li Yi, and then demonstrated it with live ammunition.

The harpoon gun is not the same as the rifle he practiced before, but fortunately, the principle of shooting weapons is very similar, Li Yi practiced more than a dozen times on the mast of the fishing boat, and after hitting the mast accurately, he put away the harpoon gun, walked behind Li Weiji and whispered: "I learned a skill."

Li Weiji snorted, and also lowered his voice and said, "Is it infinite ammunition?" One moment you shoot from a distance, and I'll hit it at close range. ”

Li Yi patted Li Weiji's head, and everything was silent.

Seeing that Li Yi had learned to use a harpoon gun in a very short period of time, Vico admired: "My lord, you are really worthy of being a genius like no other in a million, and you can learn everything quickly."

Li Yi naturally knew in his heart that this was a game that simplified the player's operation, but he still responded happily: "Where is it, you taught it well."

Vico looked at Ini and said to Li Yi, "It's all the experience that my mother told me."

Li Weiji also looked at Yi Ni when he heard this, since he knew that this thin old woman was a descendant of Ash Whispering Wind, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.

Li Yi respectfully said to Yini, "Thank you, old lady."

Ini said to Vico, "Son, you have to keep the boat steady, and you don't have to be afraid of any big bumps. Goddess Lisa will bless us. ”

Vico nodded in agreement, "Mother, don't worry." Let's run back to the cockpit.

Ini slowly lowered the bait into the water, all four pairs of eyes staring intently, the green light in the water.

"Here we are." Li Yi saw that the green light had completely disappeared and shouted excitedly, "Hurry up and start the boat." ”

The boat started slowly, the cable attached to the steel cage was straightened, and the water splashed on the surface of the lake.

Through the faint starlight, I saw only the huge fins breaking through the water like a sharp blade.

The hull of the ship began to shake and shake, and Li Weiji and Li Yi clung to the mast.

On the other hand, Ini's thin body seemed to be nailed to the deck, and it was as steady as Mount Tai with the ups and downs of the water.

It is not surprising that people who make a living from fishing have such skills, it is strange that Lingbao is also standing without any support, not affected by the bumps at all.

Lingbao seemed to notice Li Weiji's eyes, and he looked up at Li Weiji with a smile of unknown meaning.

Before Li Weiji could think about it, a layer of water waves rushed to his face, and the two people holding the mast were slapped hard by the waves, as if they were being drunk by someone, their heads were dizzy and their vision was blurred.

The lake began to swell, and the boat shook more and more violently, and if nothing else, the barbs on the steel cage should have pierced the monster's muscles and stung it.

There was another huge wave, Li Weiji and Li Yi hurriedly squatted, hunched their backs, lowered their heads, and closed their eyes. The waves were like rage, slapping on the backs of the two of them, even with the high-level armor of the Seraph, there was still a hot pain.

"It's angry, hide."

Ini said to dodge quickly, but with a spear in her hand, a cloud of purple energy erupted to form a whirlpool, and the waves of water were sucked up by the whirlpool before they could reach her.

Li Weiji and Li Yi lowered their heads and didn't see this scene, but Lingbao saw it very clearly.

Lingbao walked up to Yini step by step and said in a low voice: "The old lady is deeply hidden, which is eye-opening. May Lisa bless you. ”

Ignoring the Lingbao, the spear in her hand slashed into the air, and the phantom with her exact appearance ran in front of Li Weiji and Li Yi in the direction the spear pointed, and the phantom opened its arms to block the third wave for them. The phantom shattered, and the butterflies that flew purple dissipated into the night sky.

Li Weiji and Li Yi still lowered their heads, they were like fallen leaves in the wind, there was no qualitative, no root, and they didn't know how long they were going to be swaying.

Ini walked to the stern of the boat, and she carefully observed the changes in the surface of the lake, the water monster still did not show its true form, only the fins and tail showed on the surface of the lake from time to time.

After two or three minutes, the giant fins gradually sank into the water, the lake slowly calmed down, and the monster seemed to give up the struggle.

But how sophisticated Yi Ni was, she instructed Li Weiji and Li Yidao: "Don't move yet, that monster must be accumulating strength and preparing to crush us in one fell swoop." ”

Li Weiji and Li Yi just stood up straight, and when they heard this, they immediately squatted down and hugged the mast, bowed their heads and closed their eyes.

Ini beckoned to Lingbao, who ran to her.

Ini made an explosive gesture, and Lingbao took out an iron disc from his bosom and pressed the mechanism on the disc, which flashed red and made a slight beeping sound.

Lingbao winked at Ini, who nodded and motioned for him to drop the disc into the water.

The disc fell into the water, and Ini immediately plunged the spear into the water, and a water curtain rose up, and countless slender but bright purple lights flowed in the water curtain.

At that moment, the disc that had sunk into the water exploded, and the splash was as brilliant as fireworks, and then it turned into a drizzle and fell back into the lake.

The violent explosion completely enraged the water monster, and it leaped to its feet, its tail slapping into the water, and slamming it at the fishing boat like a cannonball.

Seeing that the water monster was about to hit the fishing boat, its body suddenly stagnated, and its speed was greatly reduced, and the existing momentum could no longer drag its heavy body, only to hear a loud bang, and the water monster sank to the bottom again.

The curtain of water that Inni had laid before fell, shattering on the surface of the lake to form a huge purple butterfly pattern, which flashed by.

Lingbao and Yini glanced at each other, each knowing what to expect.

Only to hear Vico shout: "The poison is starting to take effect." ”

Li Weiji and Li Yi immediately got up when they heard this, Li Weiji drew his spear and asked, "What should I do?" ”

Li Yi held the harpoon gun and asked nervously: "What happened just now, how do I feel that something exploded." ”

Li Weiji glanced at Lingbao and said, "It should be the last struggle of the fish monster." ”

Lingbao gave Li Weiji a thumbs up and said, "Just now, that fish monster wanted to jump up and hit us with his body, but I didn't expect that when I jumped in mid-air, I lost my strength and sank directly to the bottom, which is indeed like a depth charge." ”

Li Yi didn't think much about it, he said happily: "This dead fish, it's time for it to taste our methods." ”

"The water monster has now sunk to the bottom and has basically lost its ability to attack. You can go into the water and take a look, and kill it if you have the chance. You'll have to be very careful, though, because I'm not sure how long the poison will last. ”

Li Weiji thought for a while and asked, "Is there still any poison?" ”

Yini didn't know why Li Weiji asked like this, so she nodded and replied, "There is something in the cabin." ”

"Oh, I see." Li Weiji said to himself, he understood what the kill mechanism was all about.

He turned his head to Li Yi and said, "I will find a way to bring the steel cage back, if you see the water monster chasing me, I will shoot it with a harpoon gun, Lao Yi, my life will be entrusted to you." ”

Li Yi clenched his fists and arched his hand: "The strong man is good." ”

Li Weiji followed the cable to the water monster, the bottom of the lake was pitch black, he couldn't see what the water monster looked like, but he didn't care what the water monster looked like, anyway, it was all experience under the spear.

The spear is aimed at the water monster to perform a set of [Thorn-Stab-Poison Strike] triple hits, followed by [Vortex Strike].

This was repeated five or six times, but the water monster still did not react in the slightest.

Li Weiji became bold, he used his spear to pry open the water monster's mouth and burrow into its mouth, and followed the cable to find Yini's ancestral steel cage trap.

The barbs on the steel cage have completely penetrated into the abdominal muscles of the water monster, and after some pulling, the abdominal cavity of the water monster has been broken by the barb hook in several places, and it is constantly oozing blood.

"I didn't expect the game to arrange such a powerful two people to help us clear the level."

Li Weiji used a spear to cut the broken part of the abdominal cavity of the water monster, and took out the round steel cage little by little.

The water monster trembled slightly, and his heart was not good, blaming himself for being too greedy just now, and using his skills indiscriminately to delay time, and his subordinates immediately sped up.

In about thirty seconds, the entire steel cage was taken out, and the trembling of the water monster became more and more violent.

Full of reluctance, Li Weiji used a [whirlpool strike] on the tongue of the water monster, carrying the steel cage and dragging the cable, and did not swim back to the lake.

Only a stone's throw away from the lake, Li Weiji still didn't dare to relax, he turned around to see no trace of the water monster, and then he was relieved.

Swimming out of the water, the fishing boat was moving at an extremely slow speed, Li Weiji fluttered a few times, and was about to catch up with the fishing boat in front of him, but saw Li Yi holding a harpoon gun. Knowing this, he sped up and swam left and right to try to avoid the water monster's attack, and Li Yi's harpoon gun flew past his earlobe.

Li Yi's shot should have hit the water monster, because the water behind him began to turbulent, and a strong suction force was pulling wildly, and his body was already uncontrollable, quickly sliding towards the center of the suction.

"Help me." Li Weiji shouted loudly, fear eating away at his reason.

Lives hung by a thread, but except for Li Yi, who was still shooting desperately, the other two were indifferent.

Li Yi was very anxious to see that Li Weiji was spinning in the water vortex and was gradually being engulfed, but all he could do was keep shooting and trying to repel the water monster.

This is the task given to him by Li Weiji before leaving, and it is the only way he can save his old friend.

Maybe it was the harpoon gun that hit the water monster, or maybe the water monster was tired, and just when Li Weiji gave up hope, the suction power suddenly disappeared.

Pleasantly surprised, Li Weiji hurriedly swam to the side of the boat.

Looking at his old friend who had escaped death, Li Yi pulled him onto the boat, hugged him tightly, and whimpered: "Damn, your life is really big." You don't know that the monster is going to bite you several times, thanks to my accurate shooting. ”

Li Weiji smiled: "It's all thanks to you." ”

The struggle between life and death has been experienced several times in this game, but each time it has a completely different experience.

That kind of dying desire to survive will always make people afraid, and it will always make people's blood boil.

The water monster was galloping, and the fishing boat had to move quickly.

The safe environment calmed Li Weiji, and he looked at Yini and Lingbao, his mind racing.

A lot of things must have happened after the monster ate the bait, and they blamed themselves for being too nervous to see it with their own eyes.

But there are at least two pieces of information that can be utilized.

The first was two slight but eerie mirror shattering sounds. The first breaking sound occurred after the second wave, and although he didn't dare to raise his head while holding the mast, it was obvious that there was a third wave by the degree of shaking of the ship's hull. But after the slight strange sound of the mirror shattering, the expected third wave disappeared. The second slight sound occurs before the monster sinks to the bottom, and is preceded by a continuous crackling sound of a fish tail hitting the water, similar to the sound of a fishtail hitting the water in real life, presumably as the monster is rapidly approaching the ship. But after the sound of shattering, the water monster sank to the bottom.

Then there was the explosion between the two shattering sounds. The fluctuations and sounds of the explosion were real, and it could not have been anything else. At that time, there were only four people in the stern of the ship, and it was Lingbao who was most likely to cause this kind of explosion, after all, there were all kinds of strange things in his scientific laboratory, and it would not be a problem to make some bombs.

Combining this information, it is not difficult to come to a simple conclusion: someone is helping him kill the water monster.

With this simple conclusion, Li Weiji quickly guessed the game's kill mechanics, so he directly asked 'what am I going to do' at that time.

However, this simple conclusion is not enough, and it is not enough to confirm who is actually helping him. Lingbao, Innie, or both? Therefore, when Li Yi suspected that there was an explosion, he would play a round to simplify the problem, and he was afraid that the exposure of the truth would cause death.

After that, going into the water to fight monsters and retrieving the steel cage are just part of the normal game process, and there is nothing to say. The problem is to retrieve the steel cage and be chased by the water monster here.

According to the previous inference, at least one person on the ship could save himself except Li Yi at that time, but this person was indifferent, why is this?

From a game point of view, the fact that a powerful helper does not appear at this time is a test arranged by the game for players.

From the perspective of the plot, the helper is unwilling to use his means in front of himself and Li Yi, and there must be something else hidden.

Thinking of this, Li Weiji was irritable.

When he first entered this dungeon, he still had the idea that novice training should be simple, and simply thought that the dungeon would be over after the instructors in the town taught the players how to use various weapons.

However, as the dungeon has been progressing so far, there have been more and more situations, and the difficulty has become more and more difficult, which is completely beyond the scope of novice training.

Lingbao is enough to give people a headache, but I didn't expect that Ini might also be hiding a bigger secret.

According to this state of affairs, I don't dare to resemble what kind of strange plot will be caused after defeating the water monster.

After hesitating, Li Weiji decided to play some tricks.

He handed the steel cage to Ini, and said nonchalantly, "Please apply some more poison, we will do it again." ”

Yi Ni took the steel cage into the cabin, Li Weiji pulled Lingbao aside, and whispered: "I know that you stopped the water monster from charging a blow, tell me what you are hiding." ”

Lingbao did not shy away from saying, "I wonder just as much as you. This fisherman is deeper than you and mine, I have never met her, but she seems to know me very well. Just now, when you were crouching to avoid the waves, it was me and her who teamed up to blow the monster out of the lake. In fact, the fact that I have a bomb on me shouldn't be known to anyone but myself. As you said, things are out of our control. A kind reminder that the illusion she casts is exquisite. ”

Ini really has a problem.

Li Weiji stared at Lingbao's eyes, but unfortunately Asura's eyes were hollow and godless, without the slightest hint of human emotion, and he couldn't see any clues.

In an instant, Lingbao's words before echoed in his mind.

"All of this is obviously my plan, but it seems that there is another bigger invisible hand pushing it, and I seem to be just a part of someone else's plan."

At first I thought that Lingbao realized that he was a part of the game, but now it seems that the larger invisible hand that Lingbao said was not referring to the game, but to someone who actually existed in this copy.

But if Ini had arranged all of this, how did she do it, and what was her purpose?

Li Weiji carefully recalled what had happened after entering the dungeon, and he was surprised to find that it all started with Ini.

It was this woman, who looked old, who took the initiative to call for help, that drew her attention to the water monster, and went up the mountain to find the spirit treasure in order to deal with the water monster. It's just that a lot of strange things happened after encountering Lingbao, and this little man managed to attract all the attention, plus he took the initiative to admit that he designed him to solve the puzzle of Ash Whispering Wind, so he never suspected Ini.

Li Weiji suddenly understood where the wrong thing in his heart came from: it was not surprising that the descendants of the Ash Whispering Wind were willing to marry a fisherman. The strange thing is that she is fully capable of killing the water monster alone, so why ask others for help.

In order to better sort out the connection between many events, Li Weiji looked up at the starry sky, and the stars in the sky became specific characters in his mind.

The doji represents the emaciated old woman Ini, the pettigrew star is the spirit treasure, and the other figures are temporarily represented by faint points of light.

A beam of light from the Doji is attached to the Pettigrew, which begins to revolve as it rotates.

The Pettigrew revolves around and draws the perfect circle.

In the circle are the secret bases of Li Weiji, Li Yi, Lindell, Alicia, Kali, Isara, Lingbao Must Die Guild, and Ash Whispering Wind.

Outside of this circle, the Doji also makes one revolution, drawing a larger circle.

"You're having a high-IQ conversation again?"

Li Yi's ridiculous voice sounded, and Li Weiji was startled, and the imaginary circle map of the starry sky was shattered.

Li Weiji pretended to smile: "It's just a simple chat about the starry sky." If you look at today's night sky, the stars are sparse and cloudy, and they are unremarkable, but the nebulae rotate without losing the vastness of nature. Speaking of which, when I was learning to paint, I also practiced Van Gogh's "Starry Night". Mr. Van Gogh used exaggerated techniques to vividly depict the starry sky full of movement and change. The night sky is high and far, large stars and small stars swirl in the night sky, the golden full moon forms a huge whirlpool, and the short lines of the nebula are tangled and swirling, as if people can see the passage of time. The dark greenish-brown cypress trees resemble huge flames and are the responders to the starry night revelry. Under the sky, the sleeping village is so peaceful and serene. The pale blue tones and dynamic lines give people a sense of freedom in time and space. However, these elements are intertwined, and the whole painting seems to be swallowed up by a turbulent blue-green rapid, and the swirling, restless, and curling nebulae make the night sky extremely active, and these scenes that are detached from reality all indicate restless emotions. ”

After a pause, Li Weiji continued: "Lao Yi, what do you think of the starry sky tonight?" ”

Li Yi pursed his lips and said, "I won't tell you this. Lady Innie told you to come over, and the poison is applied. ”

Li Weiji responded: "You go first, and we'll come right away." ”

Watching Li Yi leave, Li Weiji gestured to the sky and said, "Is the center of the concentric circle the key to everything?" ”

Lingbao followed Li Weiji's gesture and looked, and three rings appeared in the sky, rotating around a faint light.

Isara, Isara, what kind of girl are you that makes everyone revolve around you?

With this question, Li Weiji came to Yini.

Li Weiji asked, "Did you put the bait into the water?" ”

Ini replied, "That's right." ”

Li Weiji said straight to the point: "When the wind is surging, you still need the support of your predecessors. After the storm, I will definitely take care of Isara. ”

The precipitation of the years plowed into the furrows and wrinkles on Ini's face, and at this time the wrinkles were fully stretched, and a loving smile appeared in each fold.

Li Weiji was stunned by this wonderful change in expression.

Ini's smile was fleeting, and she replied calmly, "I thought it would take you a long time to see it." I'm sorry for taking advantage of you, but I have to be careful. You have such wisdom and have inherited the power of your ancestors, and I believe that it is the best choice for Ishara to be handed over to you. ”

This sentence confirmed what Li Weiji was thinking, and he nodded vigorously: "I won't let you down." ”

Inni kindly reminded, "Pay more attention to that Asura, he's not as simple as you think." ”

Li Weiji snorted, he finally knew where the real point of this copy was, and he was in a good mood.

"Lao Yi, get ready to kill monsters and explode equipment."

Li Weiji changed his previous worries, and commanded calmly: "Senior, please show your magic skills again to help me." Lingbao, give me all the remaining bombs, and we'll kill them directly. ”

Lingbao turned his back and vigorously pulled out his pocket, and more than a dozen disc-shaped bombs turned out of that small pocket.

"Lao Yi, you take half of it, I'll take half of it, and fry the water monster into meat sauce."

At this moment, Li Yi was dumbfounded, he didn't understand what was going on at all.

Li Weiji explained: "You don't know yet. Ini's predecessor is a hidden master, and it is all thanks to her that we were able to survive the waves just now. ”

Li Yi still doesn't understand.

Li Weiji said again: "Actually, this monster is very easy to fight. We use the bait to seduce it, and after it swallows the bait, it will have a violent resistance, and Ini Senpai will help us block its counterattack, and then the poison on the bait takes effect, and the monster is completely incapacitated for a period of time, so we just need to attack it during this time. Repeat this several times, and it is mortal. Of course, the only thing to be aware of is not to be greedy. If we are greedy, we may miss the best time to get on the boat, and we will die in the mouth of the fish. ”

Li Yi understood that what Li Weiji was talking about was the mechanism of arranging the game to kill water monsters.

"What's the deal with the bomb in Lingbao's hand?"

"You should have mercy on us and give us extra help."

Li Yi nodded: Oh, Lao Ji's reward for triggering the hidden plot.

Naturally lucky people quickly accepted all this, picked up the bomb and smiled.

The next thing went in the direction Li Weiji wanted, and the water monster bit the bait again, and was ready to hit the ship desperately again, but was once again blocked by Yini with a magical illusion.

Li Weiji and Li Yi looked at the incomparably magnificent purple butterfly and were dumbfounded.

The only regret is that all the events in this copy happened too quickly and too tensely, Li Weiji has not turned on the recording function so far, many important materials have not been included, and many details worth playing with again and again have been missed.

The giant fish sank to the bottom, Li Weiji and Li Yi swam quickly into its mouth, and more than a dozen bombs activated the mechanism, and the beeping sound was endless.

The faint red indication of the disc bomb was like a sign of victory, and Li Weiji's face was full of smug smiles.

"Isn't there something wrong?" Li Yi barely managed to squeeze out a sentence in the water.

What's wrong?

It's right everywhere.

As long as the bomb explodes, the water monster dies, a new story is coming, and a wonderful world is worth looking forward to.

Wait, is the bomb about to explode?

Li Weiji pulled Li Yi to swim out, and he could swim to about two meters above the water monster, and the white light burst out, and the two lost consciousness instantly.
