CH.77 The Snake Man Strikes
The damp air in the sea cave was damp, and their clothes were all wet, and they had been in fear every day for the past few days, except for the snake people, and there were two aftershocks in between. One-Eyed said it was Gaia, the god of the earth, who was angry.
They followed the route mapped out in the treasure map, making choices on one fork in the road, especially avoiding the area where the snake people were breeding en masse, and choosing to take another narrow sea route.
The interior of Snake Cave Island is still quite spacious, if it weren't for the lack of enough wind, even the Black Pearl would have been able to drive in, the so-called narrow area, just relatively speaking.
Donk's nerves were tense for several days, his spirit was a little overwhelmed, his eyelids were heavy, and his brain was as chaotic as lead.
"One-eyed, you take care of it, I'll sleep for a while." Donk said to One-Eye, who was sitting on the other boat.
One-Eye answered, not saying much, his body leaning against the glass lamp in the bow of the ship, a soft halo shining on his gray hair.
Because Tang Ke swore to protect Hua Lu before this trip, this little girl has been glued to Tang Ke's side. Trying to sit and sleep, Donk leaned on Blossom's shoulder, closed his eyes and fell asleep, snoring softly.
Dew looked at Donk's sleeping appearance, and out of a childlike mentality, she stretched out her finger and lightly drew a few times on Donk's face.
In the tribes of Starfish Island, the lacquered patterns on the faces have various meanings, and the patterns that Blossom painted for Donk represent warriors.
But then, she wanted to add a few strokes to Donk's face, drawing a meaning that represented evil. Her hand dangled in the air a few times, but she still couldn't do it, and in her heart she preferred to label Donk a warrior.
The pirates were paddling all the time, and their movements were perfectly coordinated, with two rows of webbed oars drawing circles to propel the boat forward. Flowerdew let Donk lean against her, continuing to play the role of lookout, looking ahead.
The light of the glass lamp is limited, but the flower dew can see farther than others.
Suddenly, there was a sound of water ahead, and Flower Dew caught a faint image of something jumping from the reef into the water.
"There is danger! Everyone's in good spirits! Alert, instinctively sensing danger, One-Eye skillfully drew his two pistols, pulled down the ram, and aimed them at the sea ahead.
Flowerdew screamed, and hurriedly shook Tangk beside her awake.
Tonk slept soundly, and when a spirited spirit woke up, he heard the pirates shouting nervously, and the sound of his sword drawn and unsheathed sounded one after another. Donk was drowsy, sword in one hand and pistol in the other.
There was a sound of swimming in the water, and the pirates' hairs stood on end.
"I saw a little ripple there!" The dew pointed to a spot on the starboard side of the sea, and the people's guns were pointed that way.
The sea looked surprisingly calm, the sound of swimming disappeared, but everyone did not dare to relax at all, and kept staring at the sea that could be illuminated by glass lights.
Suddenly, a scaly hand burst out of the sea, grabbed the plank, and then pulled his body out of the sea, it was undoubtedly the snake man! It grabbed a pirate with its other hand, opened its mouth and bit down, hissing in its throat and its fangs digging into the flesh with ease. The bitten pirate screamed in pain.
One-Eyed was the first to react, and when he turned around, he shot the snake man in the neck. The snake man shook a few times, but the sharp teeth had bitten the pirate, and he couldn't pull it out for a while. The other pirates slashed at each other, and in the blink of an eye, they had slashed the snake people into a bloody blur.
The bitten pirate was dizzy in pain, and he pressed down on the snake man's head and pulled it downward, pulling off a piece of flesh and blood from the boss, which was miserable.
The snake man shook and clawed, and the pirates went up to make up for it a few times, drawing a big red flower face on the snake man's fragile chest. As soon as the wounded pirate's hand loosened, the snake man sank into the sea, and he fell on the ship.
The pirates still did not dare to let their guard down, staring at the water, and only two of them were sent to look after the wounded pirates.
"Hurry up and give him the antidote!" Seba Stephen tossed a small vial over.
The pirates took the vial and poured the liquid into the wounded.
This series of battles changed rapidly, and it was the ship where One-Eye was attacked, and Tang Ke's side naturally did not dare to slack off. Blossom trembled with fright and hugged Donk's waist tightly.
"Don't shoot indiscriminately, lest you hurt your own people! Just take care of what happens on your own ship! Donk commanded in a low voice, then pressed her shoulder with his gun-holding hand, allowing her to hide in the safer cabin.
"Wow!"
Another snake man came out of the sea, and it was not the injured one, but a snake man with his whole body intact! It opened its bloody jaws and pounced on Donk.
Tang Ke screamed in surprise, raised his sword and stabbed it, hitting the snake man in the chest, and the long sword swooped, cutting off all the muscles and bones. But the snake man did not stop, and slid along the blade of the sword under his habitual surname, and it seemed that he was about to catch Tang Ke's face.
Tang Ke was not ambiguous, raised his hand and fired a shot at the snake man's mouth, and the gunpowder burst out, breaking the snake man's mouth. He kicked it again, kicking the snake man with his sword into the sea.
"Ding! You've discovered a new magical creature that adds 10 bonus points and it expands the Bestiary. ”
After the system sounds, the various values of the snake man are displayed.
Donk didn't have time to care, so he turned it off before he could see it, paying attention to the sea. The people of the two boats suffered for more than ten minutes, and there was no movement on the sea, and the two snake men just now were seriously injured, probably dead in the sea.
"The snake man is fierce and will keep attacking unless he dies. The two of them didn't move for a long time, so they should be dead. "Seba Stephen had read the information about the snake people before he came, and he knew a lot about it.
The crowd still did not dare to let their guard down, leaving half of them to paddle the boat, while the other half of the people still clutched their weapons and slowly sailed away from the sea. And the injured pirate was also treated, covered the wound, and temporarily died without worry.
Although the snake people are in the breeding season at this time, it does not mean that all the snake people will gather there, and there are still scattered snake people who will stay all over the island.
Tang Ke was startled and couldn't sleep, wiping the blood on his sword while thinking about what to do. He is in short supply of antidotes, and recruiting too many people will lead to an unfavorable situation of more monks and less porridge. If you recruit a single strong seafarer, there is no suitable one in the list.
When he was in trouble, a flash of inspiration occurred in his head, and he remembered the prompt sound just now, and immediately used his consciousness to call out the system, and sure enough, he found the snake man in the [Magical Creatures] column.
Snake Man:
Race: Sea Beasts.
Surname: water, poison.
Skills: Biting, diving, venom injection, spitting poisonous mist (has a nerve-paralyzing effect, is not lethal).
Physical Attack: ★ ☆
Poison Attack: ★★ ☆ (The stronger the poison, the faster the poison kills)
Living area: Snake Cave Island.
Description: Legend has it that they are descendants of Medusa, but they do not possess petrification abilities, but only have a great advantage in terms of toxins. Their living habits are basically the same as those of sea snakes, and they can dive for 2~3 hours in the sea, and they will gather together during the breeding season. Sea serpents are gentle sea creatures, but these snake people are extremely violent and will attack any foreign creatures they see.
Reward points after killing: 7 adults and 15 adults (snake people are still in the state of baby snakes when they are young, they are extremely vulnerable, and will not increase reward points after killing)
Required reward points: 150 for adults and 300 for adults (because the state of young snakes is too fragile, only adult and prime-age recruits are provided)
Tang Ke almost jumped up with excitement, the system increased the recruitment of snake people, snake people have good strength, moderate points, just to solve the current problem! He had more than 1,300 points in his hands, and first recruited two prime-aged snake people and named them Xiaoqingyi and Xiaoqinger.
Just like with the Spitting Frog, he wanted to get the snake people in a group.
"Hint: As long as it is a magical creature with an IQ that meets the standard, after recruitment, it will automatically learn a lingua franca of the Light Alliance."
Donk didn't have time to think about this, but told the others, "Stop the boat first, I have summoned two more snake men, they can help us!" ”
"What did you say?" Blossom asked incredulously.
Others also thought it was incredible, but the scene that happened in front of them quickly explained Donk's statement. Two slender figures emerged from the sea, with a snake head on the human body, and a slender snake tail on the lower body, and the scales on the body were shiny.
The snake people recruited by the system will be the lingua franca of the Bright Alliance and the snake people, and because of the coldness of the heavenly surname, the loyalty can only reach 60 at first.
"Y-Are you a tink?" The snake man asked hoarsely, its red core and the scales on its head reflecting the light.
"Yes, I am your regimental leader, your boss." Tang Ke stared directly at the snake man's chilling pupils, and in order to win over the snake man, he exchanged 10 bonus points for two freshly baked roast ducks, "These two are for you to eat." ”
The two Xiaoqing each got a roast chicken, first sniffed it, and then tentatively ate two bites, and after tasting the deliciousness, they devoured it.
Tang Ke was able to deal with it calmly, but the pirates still did not dare to relax, and the scene of the snake man's attack just now was still like a nightmare, rooted in their hearts.
After eating the roast duck, the loyalty of the two snake people increased slightly, and they continued to ask for it without getting enough.
"I don't have it in my hands for the time being, but if you two can serve the Evil Dragon Pirates, you will often eat good things in the future." Donk said earnestly.
The two snake men became captives of the food, and after a brief instruction, understood the situation. Donk ordered the two of them to go down to the sea to explore the way ahead, and if they found other snake people, they should report immediately, and if they were one or two, they would attack directly.
Although it was cruel to order the snake people to attack their own kind, Donk didn't care.
"The head of the regiment is so powerful, even the snake man can be tamed! Behold, there is another serpent, and that is summoned by the commander! The pirate shouted with a smile on his face.
Tang Ke was frightened, suddenly looked back at the sea pointed by the pirate, and cursed urgently: "Damn, that one was not summoned by me!" Hurry up and die! ”
