Chapter 629: The old charlatan
Under the leadership of the four bounty hunters, Dongfang Xiuzhe came to the border of the "Zhisheng Empire".
As far as the eye can see, there is a vast ocean, and there are many fishing boats busy on the undulating sea.
"Are we going to sea?" asked Dongfang Xiuzhe curiously.
In fact, when he heard the name "Surround Death Island", he sketched an island surrounded by sea water in his mind.
"That's good!" was still An Xiangyan who spoke.
"Next, we're going to take a special kind of boat!" added Lei Li next to her.
"Special ship?"
Dongfang Xiuzhe felt a little weird, and at the same time aroused his curiosity, he wanted to see what kind of special method it was?
After nearly an hour of travel, I finally saw that special ship.
It was an unimaginably large ship, and if it weren't for the rows of dense pulp, Dongfang Xiuzhe would even think that he had seen a floating island.
Visually, it is estimated that the entire ship is more than a kilometer long, and the part that surfaces is hundreds of meters high, and the busy sailors on it are as small as ants.
"Are we going to make this kind of ship?" Dongfang Xiuzhe pointed in shock.
"The only way to get to the 'Island of the Dead' is to take this kind of boat. An Xiangyan replied with a stern expression.
"Why is that?"
Dongfang Xiuzhe was even more puzzled, he couldn't imagine how much time he would have to waste on such a bulky ship, and he couldn't understand why he didn't take some flying pet beasts or airships and other means of transportation?
"In order to reduce unnecessary trouble!" An Xiangyan's answer was very vague, and it did not dispel the doubts in Dongfang Xiuzhe's heart.
On the contrary, Lei Li stepped forward and whispered to Dongfang Xiuzhe: "In the sea area we are going to pass through, we will encounter many powerful demonic beasts, and only this kind of large-volume ship will make those demonic beasts retreat......
"Isn't it easier to fly?"
When Lei Li heard this, she smiled bitterly a few times, and then sighed: "If only it were that simple." Flying in the air can be a target. ”
"Aren't your strength weak, and you're still afraid of being attacked?" Dongfang Xiuzhe said with some amusement.
If he were to lead the way, he would never choose to take a boat, and if he encountered an attack, he would settle them one by one, this is his style.
"You may not be able to understand it, but when you get to that sea, you will naturally understand. When Lei Li said this, her expression suddenly became a little unspeakably strange.
Seeing that the other party didn't want to continue, Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't ask any more. Sooner or later, he's not in a hurry.
Fortunately, the overall travel time is only two days, which is not too long, and you can also take advantage of this time to recover from your injuries.
Originally, Dongfang Xiuzhe thought that this giant ship was provided by the Hunters Association, but when he boarded the ship, he realized that he had guessed wrong.
You need to pay 10,000 gold coins to board the ship!
Although this money was paid by An Xiangyan and several people. However, Dongfang Xiuzhe always felt weird.
"This ship is about to go to the 'Island of the Dead', so if you are planning to go to the 'Island of the Dead', mercenaries, adventurers, and bounty hunters who plan to go to the experience, adventure, and fortune, please hurry up......"
A loud voice came from the magic megaphone. And this once again made Dongfang Xiuzhe frown.
Are they not the only ones who go to the "Island of the Dead"?
Once aboard, the idea was quickly confirmed, and thousands of unfamiliar faces gathered on the first deck. All of them are well-equipped and have an extraordinary temperament, and they all maintain due vigilance against others around them.
Dongfang Xiuzhe laughed at himself and asked curiously again, "I'm curious now. Why did the Octagon Conference choose such a densely populated place?"
No one answered this question, because it was a secret that only the Guardians could know.
After getting on board, a new problem was in front of us.
Such a large ship does not provide bedrooms and dining rooms, and all the passengers can only stay on the deck en masse.
This is true on all decks up and down, and it can be hard to find a quiet place!
With such conditions, how can Dongfang Xiuzhe meditate and heal with peace of mind?
I have no choice but to accept reality.
About another hour passed, and the great ship finally set sail.
To Dongfang Xiuzhe's surprise, such a huge ship was traveling very fast, like a huge banana leaf, which was blown by the wind and rowed across the water rapidly.
"It's kind of funny, the propulsion of this ship is not those dense ship pulp!"
With his eyes squinted and nothing to do, Dongfang Xiuzhe began to study such a huge ship.
A third of the whole ship is made of wood, a very hard wood that, after a special treatment, is as hard as steel.
As for the remaining two-thirds, it was made of different metals, and as a powerful refiner, Dongfang Xiuzhe could see that the various parts of the hull should be made by different refiners, and then finally assembled.
On the surface of the hull, dozens of protective magic arrays are superimposed, and even if you have a hard encounter with the floating island, there will not be much damage.
What Dongfang Xiuzhe admires the most is the design of the ship's driving force formation, which uses the smallest magic source and the direction of the sea breeze to exert a huge driving force.
The ingenious design of these wind thrust magic arrays made Dongfang Xiuzhe feel deeply, and touched his inspiration, and he couldn't help but think, if this principle was applied to the refining puppet, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings?
So, for a whole afternoon, he pondered this stern and serious question.
"If you improve it like this, you should be able to increase the combat effectiveness of the puppet by ten to twenty percent. ”
Thinking like this in his heart, Dongfang Xiuzhe's originally stern expression finally appeared with joy.
It only took a few hours of thinking to make the puppet's combat effectiveness have been greatly improved, and time was finally not wasted.
Although it is still in the theoretical stage, Dongfang Xiuzhe believes that even if there are some problems when put into action, they will not be problems.
It's a pity that the ores in his ring have all been absorbed by the "natal weapon", even the puppets that he refined before are no exception, otherwise. I can verify it right away.
"It's really inconvenient to have no resources at hand!"
Stretching, Dongfang Xiuzhe got up from the deck and walked slowly to the railing.
The smell of seawater is blowing in front of you, bringing a little moisture.
Looking around, the coastline is no longer visible, and there is sea water all around.
Dongfang Xiuzhe could clearly feel that the speed of the ship was gradually rising, and some creatures in the sea. They were scared away.
"I don't know if I got to that area?"
Dongfang Xiuzhe looked back curiously, and saw that the four bounty hunters were all closing their minds, so he was embarrassed to disturb.
Looking around, although there were many people, unless they were companions on the boat, they were all on due alarm against each other.
Dongfang Xiuzhe also found several malicious glances at him, but he just pretended not to see it.
The last thing he is afraid of now is the idea of others beating him, and even some expectations, it is really because his acceptance ring is too strict. If you don't add it, I'm really sorry that he has so much space on hand.
Among all the passengers, Dongfang Xiuzhe was the youngest, and most of the others were middle-aged, or old people with gray hair. Even young people are rare.
Among all of them, only Dongfang Xiuzhe looks very immature on the outside, and it is no wonder that he has become the first target of many people with ill intentions.
"Come on, come on, the more the better. I'm worried that this trip is too boring!"
Dongfang Xiuzhe smiled secretly in his heart, but he was silent on the surface.
Time is passing little by little, and some people are still cautiously waiting for their time. And some people can't hold it anymore.
Although Dongfang Xiuzhe was facing the sea, he clearly felt that someone was walking towards him.
"Friend, can I disturb you for a few minutes?" an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Dongfang Xiuzhe pretended to be taken aback, turned around in astonishment, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The gaze had already taken a closer look at the person, and the general information had been drawn in his mind: about forty years old, Dou Shi, a few dozen meters behind him, the two curious people should be his companions.
"That's the case, I don't know if you want to make a fortune?" the middle-aged man asked straight to the point.
"Who doesn't want to get rich, otherwise, who will get on this ship. Dongfang Xiuzhe smiled.
You know, his original intention of getting on this ship is completely different from others, and this answer is just to show that it is more popular.
A light obviously flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man, he flipped his wrist, took out a short sword with a simple style and old appearance from the ring, and said with some sighs: "This is what I accidentally got from the 'Island of Death' last time, according to the speculation I asked, this should be an ancient martial weapon, I think you can use this sword, little brother, instead of staying in my hands and being buried, it is better to give this sword to you, and it can be regarded as making a friend." ”
Dongfang Xiuzhe blinked: "You want to give it to me?"
Nodding, the man continued: "Meeting is fate, and I hope that the little brother will not shirk!"
As he spoke, he handed the short sword in his hand to Dongfang Xiuzhe.
Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't reach out to take it, and the broken sword in the hand of the person in front of him was not as good as broken copper and iron, and he was embarrassed to say that the ancient martial arts weapon was just a fart.
As a refiner, Dongfang Xiuzhe is an expert, and it is estimated that a chopstick will knock out a gap in the materials used for this broken sword, and he is embarrassed to take it out and give it away.
With a roll of his eyes, he already understood the calculation of this man.
This middle-aged man seems to be really an old liar, saying that he is giving people away to make friends, but there are a few people who will take strangers' things for nothing, either pay money or take out items to transfer, no matter which one it is, the other party is sure to make a profit.
"Yes, you are really a good person, I am worried that I don't have any weapons to use!" Dongfang Xiuzhe stretched out his hand to take the short sword, and continued, "But how can I be embarrassed to take your things for nothing, so let's give you something too." (To be continued......)
