Volume 1 The Beginning of Everything Chapter 31 Parallel Worlds
"This ......"
Liao Yu didn't have time to get to the bottom of it, even with the second mate's witchcraft bonus, his left arm and thighs on both sides were still cut out of the wounds at this time. In addition, the wound was also deteriorating due to the corrosive effect of his joints, and the severe pain made his expression begin to distort.
"Go to the corner of the deck!" Liao Yu immediately changed his tactics, and the green dragon used spells to continuously create a debut ice wall to protect the two of them, while he frantically threw curses into the pile of insects.
"If only there were guns for these things." Liao Yu, who is accustomed to the concept of modern warfare, is very unsuitable for such hand-to-hand combat.
"Because the captain said that the flintlock pistol is too little for these strange insects." A voice suddenly appeared to the left of the two, and the three Ralph figures blocked most of the attacks for the two of them. I saw him holding two knives in his hands, piercing mutant monsters one by one flexibly and accurately like a dance. A handful of splashes of slime stained his bare skin, but it dripped, like clear water, down Ralph's muscular muscles, and did no harm to the third mate.
Liao Yu took the opportunity to glance at the battle situation, most of the senior crew members had already joined the battle, but the majestic body of the first mate Byrne still stood like a reef on the bow of the ship, wearing a heavy bear hair shawl overlooking the battle.
At this moment, the door to the cabin on the side was suddenly opened, and a dark blue long whip flew out with electric light, and a strange insect was instantly sucked away, only to hear the sound of falling water outside the deck.
Liao Yu and the two glanced at each other, and then began to cooperate with Raphael's actions. With the Black Pearl's officers in check, the Green Dragon dared to summon two small walls of ice to force the monsters to gather within Raphael's attack.
Liao Yu bent down and rolled on the spot to avoid the attack of the strange insect, and then pulled out a piece of rope on the deck, using the spell in the first stage of the fireball technique to gather the fire element, turning it into a fire rope, trying to limit the range of movement of the strange insect and create opportunities for others.
Just as Liao Yu hesitated how to approach the strange insects, the third Ralph rushed past him and pulled the fire rope towards the insect swarm.
"Hey, wait......"
Liao Yu was about to ask the third pair to be careful of the magic flame on the rope, but found that the other party was holding the rope with his bare hands, but his flame could not cause the slightest burn to the third pair, Liao Yu saw this and once again realized the gap between himself and these senior pirates.
As the battle situation was no longer variable, a melodious music suddenly echoed on the Black Pearl, and Liao Yu subconsciously covered his ears. However, watching the rapid reduction of bubbles on the deck, Liao Yu quickly realized that it should be Captain Teague who began to take over the battle.
In the midst of this unknown music, the Black Pearl finally awoke from the darkness of the night. A large number of bubbles were stripped from the monster's body, and then rushed to the surface of the sea by an invisible force. The strange insects seemed to be firmly imprisoned on the deck by ropes, like stranded fish and shrimp that could only bounce in place in vain.
Faced with this situation, Raphael's long whip began to show an absolute attack advantage, and he simply walked out of the door, relying on the arc of the long whip to harvest a large number of strange insects. And Liao Yu found that the strange insects that had lost the blessing of the mysterious power were better cut off than before, and the strange insects that had grown arthropods had lost their previous flexible characteristics, and they had become the target of slaughter at this moment.
Seeing that the battle situation was stable, the green dragon immediately removed the ice wall and sat down on the deck with great strength, gasping for breath.
As the last of the monster worms was tossed off the deck with a scimitar by Ralph, the Black Pearl regained its tranquility. At this time, the rising sun just jumped out of the horizon, shining the first rays of sunlight on the Black Pearl, which was fighting in the middle of the night.
If it weren't for the words of those veteran pirates themselves, the pirates at the bottom would not have believed that there had been two hours of fierce fighting on a calm and peaceful deck last night. Suspicious, they walked to their respective posts, and in the course of their work, they found more or less traces of the battle, and they surrendered to Captain Teague with greater and greater awe.
Compared with these ordinary pirates, the three Liao Yu who participated in the battle obviously had better treatment. With the nod of the first mate, all the crew members involved in the battle could enjoy the rum on board today. And upon reaching their destination, the generous Captain Teague will grant them a fortune worthy of their courage.
"You said they would give us some reward, it wouldn't be money, so should I buy a knighthood?" The green dragon looked disgusted, and the corners of his mouth bent down to make a grimace.
"Let's wait until the mission is complete." Raphael leaned on the railing, he caught a glimpse of Liao Yu on the side always looking at the sea without saying a word, so he leaned over to Liao Yu's face and asked curiously: "What do you think, keep staring at the sea, don't you have an ocean in that world?" ”
"No, I'm just, wait, you say your world?" Liao Yu came back to his senses and was just about to explain, when he suddenly noticed something strange in Raphael's words.
"yes, don't you know?" Although Raphael had a surprised tone in his mouth, the smugness on his face betrayed his original intention to show off.
"Ahem, this, how is this possible, we already know this kind of basic information......" The green dragon coughed lightly twice, and was about to return to Raphael with a serious face, but unexpectedly, Liao Yu replied neatly: "Yes, I don't know." ”
"No, you." The green dragon was interrupted by Liao Yu, and almost choked on it. "That's what I want me to say."
"Cut~" Raphael rolled his eyes, but he didn't use the topic to play after that, and after finding a little superiority, he began to talk about it seriously.
"From what I've talked to other explorers, there are explorers from other worlds. In their world, whether it is a country, a president, or a historical celebrity in various fields, it is very different from the world I live in. Raphael looked left and right to make sure that there were no other pirates nearby, then he lowered his voice and continued, "But in the process of execution, most of the explorers I met were from the same world, at least the celebrities and events I cited coincided with the world they were in. ”
"The first time you entered the mission, you actually inquired about these things, what are you doing?" The green dragon is straightforward and fast-talking, and this question blurted out subconsciously.
And as Liao Yu and Raphael were both silent, the green dragon seemed to realize something, and smiled and shut up.
"Since it's all mentioned, why don't you talk about it?" After an awkward silence, Liao Yu raised his head and took the initiative to break the silence.
"Okay." Raphael simply agreed, and the green dragon on the side nodded busily in agreement.
Soon, the three of them exchanged views on the country, geography and some historical celebrities and current policies of their respective worlds, and they were half surprised and half expected to find that all aspects of the world in which the three of them lived were surprisingly consistent, although they could not be 100% sure that the world in which the three people lived was the same real world, but there was a high probability that there would be no deviation.
The three who came to this conclusion fell into an awkward silence again for a moment, and finally Raphael continued the previous topic.
"First...... Assuming we're from the same world, you look like you've never seen the sea, and I thought you were some kind of silicon-based lifeform. ”
"What do you mean I haven't seen the sea, I'm a little bit of a house at most." The green dragon looked hard-mouthed.
"Yes, it's been a long time since I've been to the beach, time is always pushed back and forth, and there are always things that I can't get busy." Liao Yu leaned on the railing, and there was a lot of helplessness in his tone.
"You seem to have a lot of troubles?" Raphael asked, tilting his head curiously.
"It's okay, it's just a little personal matter, how did you get pulled in." Liao Yu naturally didn't want to confide in his troubles in this world, just now he just took this opportunity to complain.
"If you want to find out the purpose of Hantang here, then die, I don't know if you have such an idea alone, and the result is not regular." The green dragon yawned and responded to Liao Yu lazily. "Anyway, I was alone at home, and I was pulled over when I tinkered with some antiques."
Apparently infected by the green dragon, Raphael's eyebrows also showed a slight tiredness. "All the people who were dragged into the cold pond had different backgrounds and the circumstances they were in at that time, there were missionaries like saints, and there were also scum who were traitors, and if we had to say that everyone had anything in common, it was that everyone was alone when they were pulled here, and no one else was present."
"That's right." There was no discouragement in Liao Yu's tone, this was just something he expected. "But if I don't investigate it myself, I will always feel a little unwilling."
"Just as creatures in a two-dimensional world cannot understand the concept of three-dimensional space, how can ants know if the shadow falling from the sky is intentional on the part of the giants above, or if it is simply a piece of garbage that has been discarded casually." Raphael has long since given up on the matter.
"It gives us a myriad of missions, sometimes it looks like a hero to save that world, and sometimes it looks like a shameless thief." When the green dragon saw a pirate coming towards them, he changed his name and hid the name of the cold pond.
At a cost? After hearing this, Liao Yu was thoughtful.
"Let's go back to the strange worm, I and the green dragon noticed something wrong with the mutation of the strange worm last night, what about you."
"No, my abilities don't have anything to do with that." Raphael shook his head.
"According to my understanding, the previous strange insect should have been born in the deep sea, belonging to water, and the back arthropods popped out, but there was a corpse qi surrounding the body, thick and venomous, and it should be earth." Speaking of business, the green dragon's expression was a lot more serious.
"I just noticed the difference in the breath between the two, and the latter had a very abrupt feeling, and I am afraid that the specific situation cannot be deduced from this case by case." Liao Yu said in a deep voice.
Raphael frowned, a little irritated and said: "Maybe it's better to stay in Port Royer, it's on the sea, and if something happens, ......"
Liao Yu shook his head and retorted to him: "I'm afraid not, this explosion is very strange, on the surface, there are Atlantic Pirate Kings, the Statham family and the British Navy, I don't know if there are other nobles or pirates involved, not to mention that he won't give an easy choice for no reason." ”
The three of them glanced at each other, and they all felt that the relationship between the forces of the various parties in this mission was complicated, and they really had a feeling of going with the flow and being involuntarily.
