Verse 33: Bloodline mutations
"998, 999, 1000!" Bai Ya silently thought in his heart every time he chopped the wooden knife in his hand,
The deck under the scorching sun was baked with pirates, everyone sweating profusely.
"It's finally done!" After slashing 1,000 times, Bai Ya immediately threw away the wooden knife, turned and ran to the side of the ship, and then fell into the sea with a thud.
The moment he entered the water, the transition between hot and cold was so fast that he shivered violently.
But the young man remembered the content of the training, gritted his teeth and surfaced, took a deep breath, paddled his arms with all his might, and began to swim around the birdie.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" came the urging sound of three knives from the side of the ship.
The other group of pirates threw crates, barrels, etc., at the side of the ship, and according to Mango's rules, the more pirates hit the water, the better their training performance.
Bai Bud had to breathe and dodge the barrels that kept falling down.
Fortunately, he was not alone, and there were many pirates in front of him who shared the firepower for him.
White Bud quickly found a pattern.
To dodge the impact of falling objects, you need to be right. Dive deep enough so that you can use the surface of the water to weaken the force of the barrel and other bombardments.
But not too deep, because he had to breathe and compete with other pirates for swimming speed.
This tests his observational skills, but also his control over his own physical abilities, and also requires him to remain calm in the midst of chaos.
Finally swam around the Little Bird, and Bai Bud completed the training content of the diving tour.
He needed to climb a rope to get on the deck of the Little Bird again.
When he grabbed the rope with both hands, his arms were already sore, and he was breathing heavily, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
Holding the sling in both hands, his upper body floated out of the sea. The young man took the opportunity to look to the left and right, and he saw that there were already people on the deck in front of him, and some people were halfway up.
"I'm lagging behind! I have to catch up with them. ”
Bai Bud became agitated and immediately began to climb.
But the next moment, his arms lost his strength, and the whole person slipped directly into the sea.
"Oops, exhausted energy. "Bai Ya's heart sank into the valley.
In the end, it took him more time than he could have imagined to make it to the deck. He became one of the last few.
Bai Bud is a mountain hunter, and climbing is actually his forte, but swimming is not. In the process of swimming, he used too much physical energy, and at the same time he was smashed a few times. Once, the pain was so painful that I almost fainted on the spot.
Frustration and loss enveloped him, so much so that Bai Bud collapsed on the deck, unable to get up for a while.
Suma walked over and reached out to pull the white bud up.
Bai Ya looked at these winners, and after making a comparison in his heart, he couldn't help but shake his head in discouragement.
This kind of training with competition made him deeply aware of the gap between people.
As long as it is bronze-level, even if it is an old man, his physical fitness is much better than him. Even if he is proficient in swimming, he is no match for these people.
And the only remaining ordinary people, in fact, are much stronger than Bai Ya in terms of Dou Qi cultivation, but they have not reached the level of qualitative transformation to bronze level.
"How nice it would be if I could be bronze!"
"Is Suma-senpai's words completely correct?"
"Am I really hopeless?"
Bai Ya was not reconciled, and still looked forward to it.
In the morning, it is trained in melee combat on boarding, and in the afternoon it is trained in artillery shooting.
On the cramped artillery deck, Mango held a pocket watch and kept snorting. The pirates, including Bai Ya, constantly went back and forth to the left and right sides of the ship, pushing cannons, stuffing gunpowder, stuffing cannonballs, and pulling ropes to fire cannons.
But Mango was still not satisfied, and the orc roared loudly at the end: "Your speed is too slow, too slow! In the next training, the time for a round of artillery bombardment must be shortened to less than two minutes!"
Night falls.
The pirates ate their dinner, slamming wooden spoons and rice bowls into each other.
"Training, training, training all day!"
"I almost doubted that I was in the barracks, or that elite Imperial regular army. ”
"When exactly will you be able to grab a penny?"
"I'll get off the boat with a penny! ”
"Boy, get out of the way, don't you see where I'm sitting, uncle?" a bronze-level little leader pushed Bai Ya fiercely.
The white buds stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Suma was no longer around, and Bai Ya didn't want to cause trouble, so he pushed down silently.
Mango has boarded the Justice.
In the captain's room.
He and the knight boy gathered around the desk, and together they set their eyes on a stack of charts on the table.
"How's the training going?" asked the knight boy, looking down at the chart.
"The improvement in artillery training is good, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. As for the ...... of the broadside battle," Mane Ge shook his head, dissatisfied, "The quality of these soldiers is not high. ”
"This isn't a barracks. The knight boy smiled and reminded.
When he was on Monster Island, he knew that Mango had a military identity.
The orc nodded: "Yes." It's only been a few days, and these people can't bear it anymore, and although I suppress it, their anger is getting bigger and bigger. They need to vent. ”
The knight boy sighed, "I also know that according to the information, we should have seen the rapids yesterday." ”
The Riptide pirate ship is the prey of the teenager's prey.
Intelligence is a channel from the imperial side and should be reliable.
But when they rushed to the area, they never found the Rapids.
This is also possible.
Because although the Rapids often haunts the area, robbing passing merchant ships, it is constantly moving, and sometimes it is likely to stay away from this area of water for chasing merchant ships or other reasons. 135 Chinese
The knight boy traced an arc with his finger on the chart: "Tomorrow our course will be like this." ”
At the end of the arc, which is also the direction in which the knight boy's fingers pause, is a small island.
"If we hadn't encountered the Rapids, we'd have rested on this island. The Imperial charts indicate that the island has plenty of food and fresh water to replenish. The knight boy said.
Mango nodded.
He is an excellent general, and he knows that the state under his command really needs some relaxation, and he can't press too hard, causing rebellion and turmoil.
With such a big ship, Mane Ge can't move it alone.
The next day, the Rapids was still nowhere to be seen.
The Justice and Little Bird sailed for a day and docked at dusk on an unnamed island.
The knight boy arranged some of the people on two ships, and took a large number of men and horses to stay on the island overnight.
The pirates, who had been trapped in the cramped cabins for a long time, shouted and cheered when they set foot on the land.
The young knight divided the men into many teams, pointed them in the right direction, told them to explore the island as much as possible, and agreed to set sail tomorrow afternoon.
In the middle of the night, everyone who escaped from Mystery Island secretly gathered in a valley.
"There are three main things to do when you are here. The first is the Secret Contract. The knight boy said, raising his hand so that everyone could see the scroll in his hand.
"I believe that using the Secret Scroll will make us trust each other more. These were all purchased from the Imperial side, and now they supervise each other and use up the scrolls in their respective hands together. If there is any objection, it can be raised now. ”
Everyone looked at each other and immediately shook their heads in recognition of the leader's decision.
The brilliance of the Secret Scroll began to flicker one after another.
It was difficult for ordinary people to use the Secret Scroll on their own, and with the help of others, everyone used the scroll.
The atmosphere seems to have become more congenial.
"The second thing - the distribution of pearls. The knight boy gestured to Cangbeard.
Abarbutsu stood aside and took out a bag full of pearl foam.
For each person who came forward, he gave several to them.
During the distribution, the knight boy continued, "The production of pearl foam is decreasing, and it is difficult to keep it up. As things stand, we only have about a month. At that point, the pearl foam will be depleted. ”
The faces of the crowd were solemn.
They already knew about it.
"Didn't we discover the temple of the Blue God?" someone said.
The knight boy nodded and said, "For this, we have to thank Mr. Cangsu. Because of him, we found a clue to the Meizu Blue Temple. Perhaps in this temple, we can find a way to replenish the magical power of the fairy tale of the artifact mermaid. ”
"So, our next goal is the Meizu Blue Temple!"
"Of course, before that, we have to digest all the funds and arm ourselves with all our strength to improve our combat effectiveness. ”
"Do you have any other opinions?"
Everyone agreed.
Fat Tongue added: "Also, I have to wake up my family association and president as soon as possible." Only in this way can we contact the Hundred Needles Patriarch. ”
The knight boy nodded to him: "Believe me, I have never forgotten this, and I will do my best to save Zidi." We were able to escape from the Mystery Island, and at the last minute, we couldn't do without Zidle's help. ”
The fat tongue was comforted and did not speak.
Others are silent.
Everyone's perception of purple is very complicated.
On the one hand, the shipwreck was made by Zidi. On the other hand, they were rescued by Zidi on Mystery Island. Another key point is that Zidi has a close relationship with the leader boy......
"The third thing, it's a good thing. Beard, it's up to you. The knight boy smiled.
Cang Xu looked indifferent, and calmly said the good news that he could use the alchemy circle to help his own people digest the soul crystal.
The crowd stirred up.
"What the hell is a soul crystal, and what can it help us?" asked Bai Bud to the cyanobacteria beside him.
Cyanobacteria shook her head: "I don't know either, it seems to be a good thing that can improve our mental power." ”
Cangsu then spoke of the soul crystal deal.
Soul crystals are very precious, and it is a complete waste for ordinary people to use them to improve their spiritual power.
It is better to hand it over to the transcendent, which can better help the team improve its comprehensive strength.
And ordinary people can trade with the transcendental, and exchange their soul crystal use rights for what they want.
This proposal was endorsed by almost everyone.
Only Bai Ya felt a sense of resentment in his heart.
The Monster Meat is like this, and the Soul Crystal is like this, as an ordinary person, he feels discriminated against.
But immediately, he became happy again, and said to Cyanoza: "Can I sell the soul crystal to you in exchange for Warcraft meat?"
Cyanobacteria glanced at him, hesitated, and said, "Yes." But Warcraft meat ...... You also have to eat in moderation and not too much. Your foundation is a little weak, and eating too much is harmful. ”
"My lord, if I keep eating demonic beast meat, will I be able to break through to the bronze level?" Bai Ya asked with a nervous look.
Cyanobacteria was stunned for a moment, and then realized the cruel truth that Bai Ya already knew his qualifications.
He didn't want to deceive Bai Ya, but he didn't want to hit him.
Seeing that the blue-green algae was silent for a while, Bai Ya's expression quickly dimmed.
"Am I really hopeless?"
"Yes. Cyanobacteria patted him on the shoulder and smiled reluctantly, "Do you know the bloodline mutation? The descendants of the nobles have always had weak bloodlines, and the descendants of these bloodlines may have a sudden bloodline mutation and suddenly have a strong bloodline." ”
"But I'm just an ordinary hunter. ”
"Who knows. There are many illegitimate children of nobles. Maybe even your parents and grandparents don't know. This condition is common in those with blood mutations. ”
"Bloodline mutation...... Bai Ya muttered in his mouth, remembering this word in the deepest part of his heart.
