Chapter 6: Spoils of War, Side Quests
Sophie didn't care about the soreness and fatigue of his calves, he gritted his teeth and propped up his arms, half-crouched up and jumped into the dense woods next to him, and another fireball whistled down from above, and smashed on the leafy trees in an instant, this time it didn't make much waves, only sporadic flames fell on him, and he immediately extinguished it.
There was silence again.
The young man's dilated pupils were normal, and he was lying on the ground sweating profusely, panting violently like a bellows in a blacksmith shop, and his whole body couldn't lift a little strength, and the first few seconds were really the limit of all his body, recalling the scene just now, Sophie couldn't help but snort in her heart, it's so insidious, who would have thought that those five fireballs would automatically lock on to the target and pursue.
Fortunately, his perception was high enough and fast enough to dodge.
Replaced the cuttlefish that small. Niu may have to eat a big fireball, and the braised carp should taste pretty good.
The agitation and happiness of immortality made Sophie feel bad in her heart, but she did not worry about her own safety and that of the scarlett, because he vaguely heard the pirate leader's terrible screams, but the voice soon stopped abruptly.
It took four or five minutes or so.
The cuttlefish staggered in through the bushes, and it seemed that she had overdrawn a lot of money in order to kill the pirate leader, her white and clean tracksuit was stained with a lot of blood, and there were several hideous and terrifying knife wounds on her arms and thighs, but her muscles had closed under her control, and there was no major problem.
When she saw Sophie, she pursed her lips and smiled, "I knew you weren't that easy to die." ”
"Do you want my help?"
A few wisps of dim light through the gaps between the branches and leaves reflected on the graceful figure of the black red fish, she lifted the green silk hanging from her ears and temples, and leaned down to stretch out her white hand to him.
This scene stunned Sophie, and then it was firmly imprinted in the depths of memory.
After resting for a while, the injuries and bodies of the two of them have recovered a lot.
Cultivators such as the cuttlefish are much stronger than ordinary people, not only do they need to insist on breathing and breathing every day, and they need to work hard to practice their family skills, but they usually eat and drink rare medicinal food, and meat is indispensable in the recipe of each meal, and when the two are combined, they can strengthen and condense the essence and blood in the body.
From childhood cultivation to the present, the cost of the black red fish on medicinal food alone has exceeded eight figures, and the saying in the mouth of the world that the poor are rich and rich is not unreasonable.
In fact, there are more or less special requirements for the practice schools around the world, such as the precepts of knights who emphasize the restraint of their own behavior, the shrine maidens who bathe and purify their bodies before praying, the Tantric Rokko Secret Prayer that requires a very strict spiritual realm and understanding, and the fact that I don't know if anyone has successfully practiced the six methods of Nara, and so on.
Sophie also inherited the special ability inherited from the family, so her self-healing ability is far from ordinary.
"Well, a reward for you." The cuttlefish didn't sit beside him like a lady, it was about the result of years of exercise, her long and slender legs curled up looked fleshy and firm, and her eyes were lazy and half-open, and she threw small objects like Sophie.
Sophie subconsciously reached out to take it, and looked down to see that it was a ring with a beautiful crimson ruby, and when he was about to ask, lines of silver-white writing appeared in his retina.
"Equipment: Flame Star (Ring)"
"Genre: Fantasy"
[Level: D+ (Forgeable)"
"Effect: Burn your enemies to charred with five fireballs, limit their use to one per day, recharge for twenty-four hours, activate Spell (AO)"
"Evaluation: The enchanted equipment that spoiled the rare materials, and the owner of the building yì found a master blacksmith to reforge it after returning to Alcatraz Island, it may cost a lot of money, but it is worth the money;"
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, this is the reward you deserve, if you hadn't attracted his attention, I might have died at the hands of that pirate, that fireball is much more powerful than a cluster grenade, I am confident that I can dodge the first wave of attacks, and it will depend on luck if I don't have the next few waves." She said self-deprecating and cheerful.
"Thank you."
The cuttlefish is not the kind of woman who twists, she has been taught by her mother since she was a child that she will repay her kindness, so she will naturally not hesitate to say a word of thanks.
Under her unrelenting gaze, Sophie hesitated for a few seconds, and put the flame star on the index finger of her left hand, with such a piece of equipment in hand, if used properly, it can completely reverse the outcome of a battle, and its precious Cheng dù can be imagined, but the cuttlefish gave it to him without even the slightest hesitation.
This open-mindedness made Sophie look sideways, and even her precautionary heart was lowered to the freezing point.
"Alright, now it's time to distribute the loot." The scarlet fish curled the corners of her lips with satisfaction, and the girl's lips were very beautiful, thin and tender, with moist water color, just like a freshly peeled lychee, which was as tender and sweet as a freshly peeled lychee, and people couldn't help but want to go up and take a bite or hold it in their mouths to taste carefully.
She took out a mutilated yellow animal skin and a black card and handed them to Sophie.
Judging from the dense group of islands and shipping routes on the hides, it seemed to be a nautical chart, but for some reason only a quarter was left, and there were several small islands with special symbols drawn next to them, and some scribbled handwriting, which was obviously not any language on earth, and the two of them could understand these words without any obstacles.
When Sophie touches the card, a new stream of numbers emerges from the card.
[Skill: Power Burst (Warrior)"
"Genre: Fantasy"
"Grade: D"
"Effect: Arm muscles can burst twice as strong in seconds;"
"Evaluation: This is the skill of the ancient warrior Ming from Vaughanze Big 6, you will be able to see similar combat skills in various fantasy worlds in the future, continuous use in a short period of time will cause permanent damage to muscles, it is best to maintain the frequency of using it no more than four times in an hour, currently worth 35ooo merit points and two E-grade soul gems on the Alcatraz trading market;"
"Very useful melee skills." Sophie raised an eyebrow after just a glance.
Don't underestimate the double strength of these few seconds, for example, in a battle, the swordsmanship skills and physical elements of the two sides are almost the same, when the enemy gradually adapts to your strength and sword momentum, but you suddenly use the power to explode this skill, if the opponent's experience in the enemy is more youthful, you can take the opportunity to seriously injure or even kill him.
Before, the cuttlefish was able to take the lead in hitting Ivan, relying on surprise.
The pirate leader never expected that a ten-year-old girl would master advanced skills similar to the second charge, but she was successfully used in close quarters by the cuttlefish, and her sternum was broken and injured, and finally she died in her hands with great humiliation.
Sophie couldn't help but look at the knife wound on the cuttlefish's arm, which was also caused by the pirate leader's use of the 'Power Blast'.
"Look at me beating you again." Keenly aware of Sophie's gaze, the redfish glared at him.
"I'll have a similar force skill, this skill is of little use to me, give you two choices, use it yourself if you need it, go back to Alcatraz Island and compensate me for half of the merit points and a soul gem, or we can sell it when we go back and divide it equally."
Lure. The guy who confused the two into Alcatraz once mentioned that the chosen one has a chance to drop soul gems and skill cards after killing certain bosses, leaders, and bosses.
"Take it back and sell it." Sophie replied in a low voice, this kind of skill is more suitable for melee professions such as martial artists, berserkers, swordsmen, etc., under the influence of his grandfather's education, he is very taboo to go head-to-head with people unless the situation is urgent.
"What do you think of this chart?"
The cuttlefish put away the 'power explosion' skill card, and sneered when he heard this: "It's just a seemingly sweet poisonous bait, Alcatraz Island definitely deliberately teleported us to this island, and even the teleportation location happened to be chosen where the four pirates landed, otherwise you wouldn't be able to show their traces immediately, do you think this qiē is a coincidence." ”
"The main quest mentions the Pirate King's treasure at the beginning, and if I'm not mistaken, the island marked with special symbols on this small half of the chart is probably the location of the treasure."
Sophie agreed: "It's indeed poison bait, maybe this is a side quest?" Neither you nor I are familiar with the Witcher Islands, nor do we have any large ships or sailors to assist us, so if we want to get the treasure, we will have to communicate with the natives of Vaunze, and if we accidentally leak the news along the way, I guess we will face pirates hunting us for the entire Witcher Islands. ”
"It's a pleasure to form an alliance with Sophie." The cuttlefish tilted its head and chuckled.
Not arrogant or impatient, knowing how to advance and retreat, not greedy, having a dead hand on the enemy, and seems to be somewhat kind, it is very comfortable to cooperate with this kind of person.
After a pause, she said with burning eyes and expectation: "That woman didn't lie to me, Alcatraz Island is really a place that can fulfill a qiē's wish, and now that we have even seen pirates and spells, do you just want to stay on the island for four months and return?" It was impossible for the four pirates to fly to the island out of thin air, and there must have been a small boat hiding near where they landed. ”
"Sophie, would you like to join me in this colorful world?"
"Okay." The young man replied with only one word.
Even if the stubble doesn't mention this stubble, Sophie also has the idea of going out and seeing it, since there is a spell in the Vaunze world, does it mean that he can find the natural power and treasure that heals her in this world, it is unknown, but he will try to explore and move forward until he finds that hope.
Until then, even the thorns on the road could not stop him, and the fire could not make him afraid.
If the Vaunze world can't find it, then look for it in another world.
Sophie stood up and exhaled, and said briskly: "Let's go back, and help them hunt some prey by the way, after all, the amount of food for dozens of people is not so easy to solve." Once a person has goals and expectations, his heart will also jump with joy, not to mention that he is not the kind of taciturn and gloomy character.
The redfish turned his face sideways to look at the young man who seemed to be becoming more sunny unconsciously, and his fingertips wrapped around the tips and pursed his lips and smiled.
Most of the materials and fresh water that the four pirates dug up again were destroyed by the fireballs, and the remaining few people did not have the idea of bringing them back, Sophie considered that this material was completely insufficient for sixty people to use for four months, and handed over the materials to them without anyone systematically managing the distribution, and it was estimated that many people would be consumed in a few days.
People who have grown up in modern society do not know what it means to save food, so that they can experience the cruelty of jungle life and understand the preciousness of food.
The cuttlefish is simply troublesome, and her concept is closer to natural selection, the law of the jungle, and the waste residue will die.
