Chapter 12: The Prophecy Called Death
Deadpool opened his monstrous mouth, his sharp teeth mixed with the heavy smell of blood, like a man-eating demon from hell.
They support their bodies with their boneless hands, like clumsy turtles, and crawl to the shore step by step. Jiqi remembers that the academy textbook mentions Deadpools, who are very agile in the water, but become sluggish when they reach land. So when you run into Deadpool, try to channel it to shore so you can have a chance of survival. This is the original sentence in the book, and there is a small line below it, which reads, "Deadpools generally do not go ashore easily, they have an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm." ”
But at this moment it was completely different, all the Deadpools seemed to be crazy, leaving the water and heading towards the land, as if there was a force driving them desperately.
This is definitely someone behind the scenes, Ji Qi said with certainty in his heart. He took a deep breath, the smell of blood around him suffocating. Each Deadpool opened their mouths wide to reveal snake-like mouthparts with sharp barbs on them, and the smell of blood emanating from their mouths was stained with innocent lives.
This is Deadpool who has experienced the baptism of war. Jiqi defined them in his mind, just like human soldiers, Deadpool will continue to grow in battle, and each time he survives the war, he will become stronger. Veterans who have seen blood on the battlefield are even more difficult to deal with. And tonight's invasion of the town guard is such a group of veterans, and the hideous fangs under the moonlight are their best weapons.
Jiqi was unwilling to wait any longer, and his only hope now was to pin on the dawn of unknown time. Although Deadpools are still able to move in the sun, unlike in the night, they will wake up from their rage, become less aggressive, and have significantly reduced defense against their heavy armor. Therefore, the day is the best choice for the ship's mother, and fighting at night will increase the possibility of the ship's mother's injury, and this is the reason why a shot will be destroyed without carelessness.
The night is like a catalyst for excitement, fully stimulating the fury in their bones, allowing these monsters, who are as docile as cats during the day, to reveal their bloodthirsty nature. Jiqi clenched the knife in his hand and decided to make a decision immediately.
"Wales are ready to open fire, strangle these monsters in the shallows, and don't let them ashore." Although Deadpool was deeply shocked by the sky in front of him, Jiqi made the right decision the first time.
"Yes, ordered." The girl turned the angle of the main cannon behind her, aiming the dark muzzle at the instinctual Deadpools, giving them new life with destruction.
The brilliant flames burst in the slender chamber of the cannon in an instant, like a rose blooming in the darkness, representing destruction. The cannonball spun out of the chamber with an tail flame, like a guided weapon, and landed exactly where Deadpool was most numerous, igniting a huge sea of fire. Deadpool, struggling in the flames, let out a painful wail that makes the scalp tingle.
Although Wales went down with a single shot and wiped out most of the Deadpool who had landed, Jiqi still looked solemn. Although the battleship is powerful, its continuous output ability is far lower than that of other warships. After firing a shot, you must wait a few minutes for reload and cooldown before proceeding to the next round of fire. And on the ever-changing battlefield, every second counts, let alone a few minutes without fire support, such a wait is fatal for both the Admiral and the Ship's Lady. Therefore, a normal fleet must have flexible expulsions, light cruises with extremely strong air defense capabilities, heavy cruises with continuous output capabilities, battle-changing columns, and aircraft carriers that provide air support. In this way, the output can be guaranteed to be consistent and uninterrupted. But Jiqi didn't, he only had the powerful battleship Wales, which had the existence of a single shot to change the outcome, but he didn't have the ability to continuously output. Therefore, Jiqi cannot sit still. No one takes on this position of rushing to the front to attract firepower, he bears it!
"Wales will wait for the next cannon to be loaded, and then shoot directly at the place where Deadpool is located, and I will go and deal with the scattered Deadpools that have landed." Jiqi carried a knife and prepared to go alone.
"No, you can't go, Admiral." Wales shouted, "You can only die if you go, this is no ordinary Deadpool, it's the elite of them, it's not as easy as you think." ”
Ji Qi Ji Qi smiled slightly, and made a reassuring gesture to the girl, with a confident face. "Trust me Wales as much as I believe in you."
Wales looked at the smiling Admiral and did not speak, and after a long time, he nodded slightly, which was considered to agree with his plan.
"Be careful, don't die." The girl said her parting blessings.
"I've always been lucky, but I won't die so easily." Jiqi didn't look back, he was afraid that seeing the girl's worried expression would shake his determination to finally get firm.
Wales, I will protect you, even if you die. Gather prayers and make vows in your heart.
The girl's voice was a little whimpering, and tears swirled in her eyes, like a clear stream, reflecting the distant figure of the young man.
Hopefully this won't be the last time we'll see each other. Wales prays in the heart.

The town guard of Gelst
Jiqi shuttles through the surrounding dense forest, an unexplored area that usually acts as a natural barrier to protect the central town guard. But now it has become a hiding place for Deadpool, and the night is like a protective color, hiding these monsters well in the dense forest.
It was pitch black around the jungle, with tall, lush trees obscuring most of the moonlight, and only the faint moonlight cast. But this had no effect on Jiji, whose blue eyes were like indicators in the night, automatically filtering out non-dangerous creatures and guiding him to Deadpool's location. On his retina, the monster hidden in the darkness emits a scarlet shimmer that stands out in the darkness of the world. The closer you get, the brighter the red dot becomes, and ahead is the brightest red star, warning of danger.
Sharp fangs blew through a gust of wind and slid across Jiqi's face. Deadpool, hiding behind a tree, pounces on him like a tiger descending from a mountain, ready to kill him with a single blow. Jiqi twisted his body, dodged the attack, turned and stabbed it in the back with the long knife in his hand, the cold blade as easily as slicing tofu through the heavy armor, hitting the main body, straight into the heart, and understanding its life with a single sword. Deadpool struggled slightly, let out a wail, and then lost his life.
Ji Qichang breathed a sigh of relief, his heart pounding. In these seemingly simple seconds, he made countless deductions in his mind, and from the moment he discovered the danger, he was calculating when the opponent would attack and how it would be carried out. Unsurprisingly, Deadpool is Deadpool, only the instinct of beasts, and their way is to give each other a fatal blow in an instant, without thinking.
Fortunately, the body's reaction followed, otherwise he would have died here. Ji Qixin said that he now has a new understanding of Deadpool's offensive methods, fast and accurate, and does not stop. They don't think like humans.,Won't be afraid of fear.,This is where they're really scary.,In addition to the mature ship girl.,No matter who faces the attack of such a monster that is not afraid of death.,I'm afraid the first thought is to turn around and run away.,That's why humans only retreat and don't fight back under the attack of the deep sea.。 The human nature of fear and fear doomed their fate.
In disgust, he pulled out his long knife and shook off the blood-red liquid that had stuck to the knife. It seems that this knife should be properly washed after this battle, otherwise it will be stained with a smell of blood. He meditated in his heart.
Jiqi continues to move forward, searching for the next target. Like a hunter in the night, wandering between life and death, towards the next crossroads. And next time, who is the hunter and who is the prey, there is no way to know.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————
The night was silent, and Jiqi stopped his steps, he remembered that this was the middle of the jungle, and it should be the place with the most living things, but there was no sound at the moment, as if God had pressed the mute button.
He clenched the hilt slightly, and there was a little bit of fragrance around him that went straight to his nose, which was different from the bloody smell of Deadpool, and it was a beautiful and intoxicating smell.
He searched the enemy with his eyes, but there were no red dots on the retina that represented hostility, only darkness, and nothing could be seen. In the quiet environment, he could clearly hear his heart beating wildly, like a drum, which was particularly harsh in this night.
He jerked his head up and raised his sword to block, and a breeze blew from above with murderous intent, and the friction between the metals collided with a little fire. Jiqi was forced to retreat sharply, leaving two deep marks on the soft soil under his feet.
It's definitely not Deadpool, and it's more powerful than Deadpool. Ji Qi made up his mind in his heart. Taking advantage of the faint moonlight, he could see the general outline of the other party, slender and wearing a robe-like garment.
He doesn't plan to attack rashly, Jiqi knows very well where his ability lies, and he has more than enough defense but not enough offense. This is the result of the Academy's teachings, that every human being's first instinct when they encounter the deep sea is to run away, desperately trying to escape. And the tutors of the academy thought the same thing, they taught the students to escape and defend, but did not teach them how to fight. Because no one wants to turn around and fight the deep sea in close quarters, that's the job of the shipwives, not the job of humans. And even if a warrior wants to fight these monsters, the tragic ending will tell him what it means to be at the top of the food chain. But Ji Qi is different, he feels that he himself is a monster, from the moment he awakens the posture of heaven and man, he is growing up like crazy, from the initial powerlessness, to the current knife hunting, which is something that others can't do in a lifetime, but he achieved it in just one night.
But not at the moment, he clearly felt the gap between himself and the other party. Even if you play the game, you can easily defeat the mobs along the way, but the boss hit is enough to destroy your self-confidence. Now that's the case, the other party is obviously just testing it casually, and he has to defend with all his might, and he is embarrassed. He didn't know how to deal with it, whether to turn around and run away or face it head-on, and he didn't know the bottom of his mind at all.
"Are you ready to accept death?" It's like the boss's debut line, cold and ruthless. In the darkness of the night, the other party uttered a prophecy called death.
