Chapter 197: I'm Too Weak
"See them all?"
"Who!"
Gripping the hilt of the knife and turning around vigilantly, there was no shadow of any living person in front of him except for the white bones. The danger sense did not sound, Qiu Xuan looked around at the vast and miserable scene, but the sound sounded as if out of thin air.
"How is the flower growing, is your wound still hurting now?"
Qiu Xuan pursed her lips and completely sank her face.
"Who are you?"
"Actually, we've met," among the dry bones and dead everywhere, the only voice faintly carried a hint of a warm smile. "I've heard that your ability was given to you by the 'plague' in the first place, right?"
“…… Cassandra. ”
"Clever."
With a point in his heart, Qiu Xuan calmed down again. She searched for the mysterious sacrificial figure in the large corpses again, and heard the voice of the elderly in the next second: "Don't look for it, I am not on this ship, and now I can talk to you through this sea of the dead." ”
"There's a problem."
"Say it."
"Are you an executioner?" Qiu Xuan lowered the knife in his hand, but he never really let go. "I've heard someone saw the executioner's scoresheet on your wrist, but you seem to be ...... all the time Outside the 'rules'. ”
"It's a complicated issue, and there's not enough time for me to finish it, so let's wait until the next time we actually meet, it's not far off." Cassandro's rumored words sounded surprisingly sincere and calm, "I came to you this time to talk to you about your abilities, and I can see from the last encounter in the broadside battle, you-I'm afraid you still don't know how to use the plague virus, right?" ”
"Does this have anything to do with the flower and the current scene?"
"I planted the flower for you to save your life, and this undead is because of the knife."
The information content in these words made Qiu Xuan a little dazed for a while, and she subconsciously covered her abdomen with her left hand, and blinked her eyes in a rare daze. "That knife was somehow absorbed from another executioner, and it's you...... You planted the flowers for me? ”
"Isn't it rare that you don't feel that the virus planted by the plague is eating away at your life little by little?" Cassandro sighed secretly, "How much do you know about the Elpis virus?" Do you know that every time you plant a virus on the dead and control them, they are slowly devouring your spirit and life force in order to achieve the effect of 'being manipulated'? ”
"Afu...... Alas, although I still don't know what your name is, but you are the only executioner in recent years who has similar abilities to me, and I see you as if you were looking at myself before, so I don't want you to die in vain because of this. We're running out of time to tell you that the absorbed Necro Knife is an opportunity to get rid of the side effects of the Elpis virus once and for all. ”
"Also, whenever you use your abilities to inoculate a plague virus on a living person other than a corpse, think carefully about whether your current ability will have a 100% success rate in 'manipulating' that person. If not, then you're wasting your life. ”
"I've got to go, and you can 'see' it in this sea of the dead yourself. I believe that the day we meet again, your flowers will be ripe. ”
"Wait ......"
For a moment, there was only the numb and desperate wail of the dead in the world, and Qiu Xuan was silent for a moment, recalling her words, thinking that it was no wonder that after the totem was imprinted on Hephaestus's arm that day, she no longer felt the connection of the plague virus to her in that person's body.
And Cassandro is there for ...... Save her.
She had no way of knowing how many words were credible in the mouth of the "crazy and mysterious goddess sacrifice" in the mouths of the people, but so far with the little flower that saved her life from Li Lei's hands, she had no reason to doubt the feasibility of her words too much.
It's just that if it's just because of "similar abilities like looking at a similar junior", he spares no effort to help her, Qiu Xuan doesn't believe it.
She clenched the bone-rotting knife in her hand, and suddenly tentatively swung it as a ferocious undead swooped down. In an instant, the dead bones that burst out from the edge of the knife swarmed up, biting the undead to ashes in an instant, and with her as the center, even the already barren and terrifying bones did not dare to set foot in the area.
After swinging a knife, Qiu Xuan instinctively felt a pain in her abdomen, and immediately lifted the hem of her clothes to look at the abdomen wrapped in gauze. I saw that the small white flowers that had grown tenaciously bent downward, and the tips began to be stained with an ominous black.
She paused, then took two steps forward and slashed at the other undead.
Sure enough, after the wailing figure dissipated, the tip of another petal was also dyed black.
Cassandro said that the flowers were planted on her to save her, does that also mean that when the little white flower is completely impregnated with black, it means ...... The date of her death?
- It's like "The Last Ivy Leaf".
Qiu Xuan rolled her eyes upward, thought about it, and stepped forward again, picked out a white bone with her palm, and planted the Elpis virus on it.
The white bone instantly stood up from the ground crookedly, and Qiu Xuan was able to get in touch with it through the plague virus he planted. Correspondingly, she lowered her head, and a fifth of the flower was completely dyed the deepest inky black like a mad dog.
Qiu Xuan: ......
So what can she do? Is it that in this life, you will never use the knife or the ability again?
But in that case, what's the difference between being eliminated directly, and how can she survive in the proving ground?
It's hard.
It's better to wait until the next time you see Cassandro and ask her, but the so-called "next time and next time" is far away. Besides, the Pirate Ship and the Ship of Fools are not in the same place, how can she find a way to meet Cassandro?
This head is too big to be, and an undead over there instantly collided with her with a barbarian king, directly pushing her whole person out of the gloomy necromantic hell.
She came back to her senses while holding her abdomen that had been hit by the pain, and saw Qin Jiuyuan pulling her with one hand and holding the slender fishing rod in the other, and he had killed an area among the surrounding deep-sea monsters.
"Coming back to your senses?" He panted slightly and turned his face to look at her, "What do you think?" ”
"Something just happened......" Qiu Xuan was slightly stunned and hadn't yet reacted from the corpses and bones, seeing the deep-sea monsters scurrying all over the deck, he subconsciously wanted to draw his knife, and suddenly stopped the movement in his hand after seeing a trace of weird black on the sharp knife.
“…… My injuries are not healed, I am too weak. She said with Qin Jiuyuan's surprised expression on her face, "So all the fights will be left to you next." ”
"Then you can take care of your injuries." After a short period of stunned, Qin Jiuyuan reacted, but he didn't ask anything, just responded like this.
Sure enough, before she drew her knife and entered Cassandro's undead world, she had already seen the cooperation of those people in Lao Liang Jiaoguan City, and coupled with the fact that the fishing rods had been put away, it was only a matter of time before she could solve the monsters on the deck now.
Ten minutes later, the body of the last sea monster was thrown into the sea, and they all gasped for breath.
"How are you? I didn't hurt it. Liu Qing put away the bow and arrow in his hand, and hurriedly ran towards Qiu Xuan with a face flushed from the fierce fight. As soon as the latter waved his hand to say that it was okay, he heard a girl who didn't look very old among the four newcomers in their group whisper, "What can she do?" At first, I thought she was also very powerful, but I didn't expect to be a bastard. ”
She thought that her voice was already very quiet, but she still forgot that this "low voice" was only for newcomers like them. Liu Qing listened to it, frowned, Qiu Xuan pulled her and shrugged at her, and said, "That's right, I'm really confused." ”
When the four newcomers saw that they were being heard talking behind them, they still began to feel uncomfortable considering their identities, but they didn't want to bow their heads like this, so they had to pretend to be natural and go to talk to Yavette on the side.
Qiu Xuan touched the small flower on her stomach, which was still firm, found a clean ground, sat down, and waited for the madman to announce the end of the mission. Not only her, but the other executioners waited patiently for a while, but they saw that the well-dressed madman walked leisurely with his hands behind his back, and did not say anything about the end.
"Hey, can our mission be over?" One of the executioners shouted boldly, and the madman in the suit in his white robe was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to the eyes of the green looking forward to the end of the work and dinner, and stretched out his hand to scratch his head.
"Where's the mystery prize?" He tilted his head and looked at everyone innocently, "In such a good weather that is best for fishing, isn't anyone looking forward to what the mysterious prize is?" But I'm looking forward to it, so I'd like to ask you to open my eyes. ”
Everyone sighed, and there was no choice but to trim the trimming, the drug that should be taken drugs, and they were ready to devote themselves to the next round of fishing.
"Are you going to release the dead fish this time?" Qin Jiuyuan sat down next to Qiu Xuan again, took the fishing rod in her hand almost familiarly, and wound the fishing line tightly.
"Well, let's try again, I always feel that the dead fish are going in the right direction."
"Okay."
The two threw the bait tied to the dead fish back into the sea and leaned against each other to start the next round of waiting. On the other side, as he spoke, the newcomer leather-clad man turned his gaze to this side, watched silently for a few moments, and cautiously turned to Yavette, who was wiping the great sword.
"That, senior, I'll ask more. The two of them...... Is it a lover? ”
"I don't know, but falling in love in the Proving Ground is not something a smart person does." Avet glanced over there, then disinterested in putting away her greatsword and replacing it with a fishing rod. "I don't know her well, if you really want to know that much, just ask yourself."
"Forget it, I'm just curious." The leather-clad man hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, thought about it and muttered unwillingly, "I always feel that woman is with him because of his strength." ”
"Say less." The rich girl frowned and interrupted her companions' speculation, and then she picked up a fishing rod and sat down not far from Avet. The rest of the people looked at each other a few times, and they still kept to their own honest fishing.
While the others continued to fish for more points from the sea monsters, Qiu Xuan's fishing rod tied to the dead fish still didn't move.
Qiu Xuan silently comforted herself in her heart that it didn't matter, and made a fortune in a muffled voice. In this case, she usually pulls out the SSR without being ridiculed by others, and the main character's script is written like this, and so on.
Half an hour later, the sea in front of them was motionless as if it were dead.
Qiu Xuan: ......
"What then?" She turned her head to look at Qin Jiuyuan, who also winked at her in confusion, and looked at each other speechless for a while.
"There you have it! Caught! ”
Suddenly, there was a commotion from the other side of the deck. Qiu Xuan turned around to look around with his hands on the floor, and saw that the eight or nine people in the group were dragging a fishing rod together, and it looked like something big was about to break out of the water under the surface of the sea.
It's kind of interesting.
With a huge splash of water, what was beneath the surface of the sea was finally revealed...... Half the whole picture. It was a huge beast-like monster with a snake tail, and a pair of lantern-sized eyes glared angrily at the people standing on the deck, and when the huge mouth opened, a majestic column of water sprayed towards the Fool Ship.
Qiu Xuan pulled Liu Qing and Qin Jiuyuan to take the lead in avoiding a shelter, and the rushing water column rushed directly into the ocean for some of the executioners on the empty deck who had no support points. Looking at the people who were struggling to catch the ship's mast so as not to fall into the water, Liu Qing suddenly pulled the bowstring sideways from behind the wooden pillar, and in an instant, an arrow that had "saved" Qiu Xuan in his tentacles shot straight towards the huge monster.
The beast-fleshed monster didn't even blink an eye, and just let the arrow stick into it painlessly, as if it didn't pose any threat to it at all. And in the next second, the ordinary arrow tail flashed red, and a huge explosion sounded, and a puff of white smoke enveloped part of the monster's body.
The white smoke cleared, and people waited with bated breath for the monster to fall with it, but all they could see was a shallow pit in the hard skin.
"It's pretty durable." Qiu Xuan commented, and saw that wave after wave of executioners took out their personal weapons and props to attack the monster, and for a while, gorgeous elemental and physical abilities exploded in the air. The monster roared in anger, and the huge snake tail swept towards the ship's bone, but a figure took the opportunity to climb the snake's tail and spin up, jumping high and slashing to plunge the scimitar into the monster's skull.
Qiu Xuan could see clearly from here, that person was Ruiyi and Jiaoguan City, who was holding her hand to let her go up, and it seemed that the group was still the original team except her.
They can't be allowed to score any more points.
Qiu Xuan secretly said sorry, pulled out an arrow from Liu Qing's quiver, held it in his hand, leaned back into a bow, and threw the arrow out like this.
