Chapter 167: Gary and the Kraken
"That's good, Odysseus......"
The pigtailed man with the hammer in one hand muttered in a low voice, unexpectedly, even though he was defeated by a "nobody" who forced him out of the arena, he did not show the slightest look of humiliation on his face.
"Well, I look forward to seeing you again." Hephaestus held his right hand across his chest and pulled a complicated salute, "I'm sure we'll see each other soon." ”
With that, he walked out of the dining room rhythmically in his lambskin boots. Su Man sat lazily on the table and yawned, apparently the fight was too exciting to drain most of his energy.
"Then, the occasion of Su Man is over...... Oh, and one more compatriot didn't play. Not...... Then you can get on it. ”
With the casual wave of his hand from the white-robed madman, Qiu Xuan and Jiao Guancheng glanced at each other and helped each other to get up from the ground.
"By the way, how many points did you just win?" Qiu Xuan patted her clothes and looked up at Qin Jiuyuan, who slowly walked down from the ring. The latter glanced back at her indifferently and said, "It seems that the relationship between us is not familiar enough to ask for scores like this." ”
"Hmm...... Also. She brushed past the man with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and she could even feel the heat of the hot beads of sweat sliding down the sides of his ears. Then you can tell me again next time when we are 'cooked', it's okay, it's going to be a long time." ”
“……”
"414 points."
Qiu Xuan smiled, waved behind him and didn't look back.
The sturdy man called Jiao Guancheng stood there with his arms crossed for a while, and together with Su Man's impatience, he looked at Qiu Xuan's position with a calm face. "Before I begin, let me say another nonsense, don't get back together. Well, the chatter time is over. ”
"Although I admire you and look forward to the next round of shuffling we can be teammates in the same group. But I'm sorry, I still can't give up easily. ”
"Me too." She nodded briefly, and after Su Man signaled to start, she said, "Do you know why that siren is Gary's most precious treasure?" ”
In the absence of an understanding of the strength of the opponent, being able to avoid a fight is of course the best solution. And Qiu Xuan had just been on the ship for a short time, so naturally there were no questions to ask about the first batch of Jiaoguan City to be on board. The only time they had an intersection was when Jiao Guancheng brought the executioner to the bottom of the sea to block people. And at that time, the thin man named Orsay had deceived almost all of them in order to survive.
Knowing the truth was the last time Qiu Xuan pressed the Orsay, he saw the siren's momentary gaffe from the panic and fear reflected in his pupils.
The name Gary reacted greatly to the legendary ruthless Kraken, so he preferred to gamble on the shock cannon to Hephaestus to make room for him, and rescued the siren named Arker and smuggled it onto the ship.
Sure enough, after hearing this question, Jiao Guancheng was silent for a long time. Subsequently, after Su Man, who was dressed in a white robe, impatiently pronounced "Regarded as an automatic abandonment", he said his answer.
"Because of love."
Qiu Xuan: "? ”
"Hmm, let me take a look......" Su Man touched his chin and looked at Jiao Guancheng for a while, and then looked at the excitement and nodded twice. It was brief, but the gentleman's answer was correct! So let's start the ring race! ”
Qiu Xuan: "......"
"I've always had good luck, haven't I?" Jiao Guancheng shrugged at her, and then leaped up to the platform with great speed, his nimble movements in great contrast to his seemingly muscular body. "I'll fight hard, with respect for you and for myself."
really came to this point, Qiu Xuan would not be twisted and refused to go on stage. She walked up the stairs slowly and honestly, weighing the scene in the fight before Jiaoguan City in her heart, and finally decided to fight quickly. Dealing with this kind of opponent, she couldn't fight him, she slipped the Zimu knife out of her sleeve pocket, and leaned forward slightly to stare at the person opposite.
"Let's go!"
At the moment when the end of the word fell, Qiu Xuan opened the danger induction intensification to the maximum, and swooped away like a tarsal shadow with a short knife.
What a speed!
Just before he had time to take out a pair of fist buckles and snap the tiger belt, the edge had already reached his eyes in a breath. Jiao Guancheng swung his arm under the crotch of the blow, feeling the steel fist clasp make a dangerous metal sound under the collision of the blades. After the first blow, he didn't have time to react at all, and the ensuing series of attacks caught him off guard.
It's not like a newcomer! I don't know why I've never heard of this person in a desperate situation.
Jiao Guancheng retreated frequently, a pair of tiger eyes narrowed on his resolute face, and then he took a breath, and it was actually a phantom blade that swelled up his strong muscles!
He held the short knife firmly, and the hard flesh was only slightly reddened. "You're talented, it's a pity. My main physical skills are specialized in attacking speed players, but it's a pity that you're facing me today. ”
Before Jiao Guancheng's words fell, another sharp edge came straight to his fragile eyes, and he didn't seem to plan to keep his hand at all. But he still had the short knife in his right hand.
In desperation, he closed his eyes and tilted his head back in order to protect himself, and the next second he was kicked hard in the chest, and he staggered to the edge of the ring with his balance out of balance.
"Physically qualifying is considered to be automatically abandoning the game!" Su Man straightened his face and learned from the referee to blow the whistle, and then laughed and clapped his hands to end the farce. Just as he finished the last word of the closing word, the madman in the white robe stiffened for a second. Then he was drained of all his flesh and lowered his shoulders, like some manipulated marionette, and walked back to the table in the corner, numbly continuing to eat the plate of fish that "burned like a plate of shit".
Retracting the sub-knife, Qiu Xuan re-inserted the small dagger back into the handle of the main knife, only to realize that the clothes on his back had been soaked with sweat. No one knew that in the short minute of fighting with Jiao Guancheng, she had almost exhausted her mental strength and intensified danger sense before she could knock him out of the duel arena.
If it weren't for this rule, but in a normal one-on-one situation, she wouldn't have won.
This is not a modest statement, or some deliberate pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but a truly plain truth.
Jiang Beihe is right, every executioner who can live to reach a desperate situation cannot be underestimated, let alone such an obviously experienced veteran.
"You're strong." She took a breath and didn't check the score on her wrist at the first time, but looked at Jiao Guancheng and nodded, which was regarded as a sign of respect for her opponent.
The tough man shook his hand and took off the fist buckle, stared at her for a moment, and suddenly began to laugh.
"I'll have to stand with you when it's time to regroup, the kind tied with rope." He said, "You'll get to the top, I'm waiting for that day." ”
"Thank you."
When all the people left in the restaurant began to walk out in a sparse manner, Qiu Xuan took the time to look at his wrist and added 289 points, thinking that it should be decided based on Su Man's personal satisfaction with the battle scene. She waited until the last person was out of sight, and then she stood up tremblingly on the table, feeling the terrible feeling of exhaustion in her whole body rushing over her body again.
She sat on the table, and she didn't want to drink the nutrients, after all, that thing was sold in a desperate situation, and there was no need to waste it until the critical moment. Someone next to her quietly sat down and handed her a bottle of mineral water of a different color.
Qiu Xuan smiled. "Didn't you say that you don't know me well, this gentleman, what are you doing now?"
“……”
"It's okay, you can keep it, I'll just wait for a while, there's no need to waste it."
The man was silent for a few breaths, unscrewed the cap of the bottle, put it on the table, and turned around and walked out of the restaurant without saying anything.
Qiu Xuan watched his back disappear from view before picking up the nutrient solution and drinking it all, closing his eyes and slowly feeling that the power was filling his limbs little by little. She jumped off the table and walked towards the rest point of the group in her memory.
"Hi Afu, I heard that you triggered the restaurant's score quest, how about it, this time you added a few points." There were only two people in the lounge that Qiu Xuan was not familiar with, and the other was Zhuang Xiao. She walked up to Zhuang Xiao and sat down, and casually mentioned: "It's just more than two hundred points." By the way, where did the rest of the people go? ”
Speaking of this, Zhuang Xiao snorted coldly. "They, they heard that the ship's doctor was healing the siren. It is said that the humanoid sirens are thrillingly beautiful, as if they were something, and they have not yet put on their clothes, so they have blocked their ears to see. Hmph, man...... Afu? ”
It's late :)
Qiu Xuan pushed away a few crew members who were in the way and walked quickly towards the medical room.
As Zhuang Xiao said, the medical room was surrounded by water, and only a few sporadic lights could be seen leaking out of the gaps in the crowd. The ship's doctor was blowing his beard and glaring and shouting that they should not spread out here, but no one listened to him.
Seeing that he couldn't squeeze into the front row, Qiu Xuanyin cleared his throat in the crowd and shouted: "Someone in the cabin has triggered a new score mission, and now there are not enough people to start the game, so let's go quickly!" It is said that the earlier you arrive, the higher the score of the reward! ”
The beauty was at the moment, but it was nothing compared to the interests of her own life, and the crowd rushed to the cabin in the opposite direction as they had come. Qiu Xuan kindly grabbed Lao Liang in the same group and walked to the position closest to the hospital bed openly.
The drunkard named Gary was crouching on the edge of the bed with worried eyes, his hands clenching his white wrists. The owner of the thin white wrist was wrapped in a white sheet, and his fangs bared silently when the fire-disinfected tweezers in the hands of the ship's doctor touched the wound in his abdomen.
The siren was as beautiful as a fleeting bubble.
Although saying this is like a pervert with some special fetishes, Qiu Xuan has to sigh that only when the dark red blood oozes from the white sheets, and when the siren named Akeer twists her beautiful face and bares her teeth silently, can people feel that she belongs to the real existence of this world.
The hideous valgus of flesh and facial expression did not affect her beauty in the slightest, she was like a crucified god, and like a seductive and depraved ghost on the banks of the Lethe River, dying and so beautiful that it burned everyone's eyes.
Even a person like Qiu Xuan, who is attracted purely for "beauty", can't help but be moved for a moment, not to mention those sailors who are willing to jump into the sea because they look directly at the siren's face, which Gary says is his most precious treasure.
What about a kraken who leaves the sea and falls in love with humans? She sighed softly and snapped her fingers in front of the stunned Guihai to wake up the drunken person.
"Ah...... Well? What happened? Did someone say that they were going to the cabin to participate in the score mission, and we were leaving, right? ”
"Exit point." After all, he was well-informed, and after a short period of stunnedness, Lao Liang came back to his senses and scolded a few words with hatred. "In this way, it seems that there should be no score tasks in the short term, and we have to discuss the follow-up plan and strive to get more points before we land."
Guihai nodded and approached Lao Liangtao, and among the few remaining people left in the medical room, Qiu Xuan frowned and turned back to the gaze that had been nailed to her from the beginning, and said, "Is this also the task issued by the overlord?" Keep chasing me? ”
"Thinking too much." The short-haired girl named Ruiyi said indifferently: "Batian didn't participate in the power struggle between you in the first place, and I killed you before because of the benefits given by Baoqin." Now that my short-lived relationship with Baoqin is over, this time it's just a coincidence that I've entered a testing ground with you. ”
Similar to Qiu Xuan's thoughts, she had vaguely sensed from the first time she was kidnapped by Batian that the guild of Batian was similar to the kind of independent mercenary setting that roamed on different borders. They have no position and do not stand in line, and whoever pays the highest "price" will help whomever they want. To deal with such a situation, the first thing to do is to give them enough chips that they are interested in, but this is tantamount to seeking the skin of the tiger.
"So in that case, we live in peace without a struggle of interests?"
Seeing that he couldn't get any clues from the medical room, Ruiyi turned around and walked out without hesitation, leaving only a cold "This is not good, after all, you are too annoying." ”
"Tsk, I really like my sister more." Qiu Xuan muttered a few times without hesitation, and the ship's doctor over there quickly sewed the needle and wrapped the siren with gauze.
"Great, you're okay Ake, great, I love you, I love you......"
Gary scrambled to hold the siren's hand, and the beautiful Kraken lay motionless on the bed, looking without the joy and happiness of the rest of his life.
"Hey, human."
Just when everyone thought she wouldn't say anything more, the Kraken spat out the language of the land in a hoarse voice, and his tired eyes pointed to the girl standing by the bed.
