Chapter 2: The Dependents!
in the room.
Lu Jing, who had just returned from the bathroom, sat on the bench, his left hand against his chin, and his right hand hanging in front of him.
Above the palm, the cards with dark blue backgrounds rotate in the air.
The background color of the back of the card is silver, and the blue and purple intricate patterns are engraved on it, if you look closely, you will find that one-fifth of this pattern has been filled with silver-gray streamers, and the front of the card is depicted as a "person" who is stepping on the monstrous tide and facing Lu Jing with his head high.
Well, it's just humanoid.
His arms and back were somewhat like the fins of a fish, more akin to a fish-man than a human, but this "man" was obviously more heroic.
"The Dependent...... This is supernatural ability?"
Staring at the card in his hand called the Sea Dependent, perhaps because of his close connection with himself, even if it was the first time to summon it, Lu Jing still clearly knew its ability and how to use it, as well as the ensuing effects.
Although there is no such thing as an attribute panel, it does not prevent Lu Jing from making a rough assessment of himself and this ability based on the information in his mind, and he is familiar with this method after playing a lot of games during the fishing moratorium in his previous life.
If you quantify your previous state when you had not yet acquired this ability, and consider yourself as the most basic 1, then the effect of the Sea Dependents is as follows:
Sea Dependent: The cardholder's abilities will be enhanced, +0.5 all stats within the land area, +1.5 all attributes within the ocean area!
Not only that, but this card also comes with a special ability.
Tidal Alienation: Activate the Sea Dependent, consume a certain amount of energy, so that the cardholder can obtain the blessing of tidal energy in a short period of time, and the energy will be greatly increased!
The former was able to get an accurate data because Lu Jing had now begun to enjoy the ability of the sea dependents on land, and the latter had not really tested it, so Lu Jing could not give the data.
In fact, if it weren't for the bad weather outside, Lu Jing would want to run out and try his hand now.
On the one hand, he wanted to have an in-depth understanding of the extent to which the so-called ability of this tidal alienation could be greatly improved, and on the other hand, Lu Jing also vaguely felt that his ability did not seem to be limited to this card......
Why don't you go out and try it?
The excitement in Lu Jing's heart, who had just obtained this ability, could be imagined, just like a child who had just spent money to buy a bag of glass beads, he always wanted to find a place to try his craft.
At this moment, a dense sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
Bang!
didn't wait for Lu Jing to go out to ask, and his door was smashed and "clang~".
"Ah Jing, get up quickly, there's something going on outside!"
Hearing Uncle Fu's anxious shouting, Lu Jing got up suddenly, the card in his palm turned into a streamer and disappeared into his body, and he was about to open the chair, but his footsteps paused suddenly, turned around, and his eyes fell on the statue of the human head placed in the center of the table.
At this time, in addition to looking exquisite, the statue has long since lost its previous strangeness, Lu Jing thought about it, and still stuffed it into the cloth bag where the compass was placed.
You must know that your ability is also derived from its stimulation to some extent, and there are other mysteries here.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Uncle Fu holding two short axes in his hands that cut sea goods in the warehouse, and there were more than a dozen other crew members standing beside him.
"Just now I got up at night and went to the hut, and I heard a scream from downstairs, like a worker in the warehouse, and some other ......."
The first mate next to him was interrupted by a short and sharp roar from downstairs in the middle of his words, and his face couldn't help but be a little solemn, and then said,
"That's the voice!"
Lu Jing was stunned, all his thoughts were on the card during this time, and he didn't notice the noise outside.
"It's not a matter of staying, I woke everyone up just to go down side by side to see what could happen to each other. ”
Uncle Fu handed Lu Jing the short axe in his hand, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.
In the end, it was the old captain who was used to seeing the wind and waves at sea, Uncle Fu stood up to speak, and the originally flustered atmosphere in the team immediately calmed down, and Lu Jing did not hesitate to stand on the left and right sides of Uncle Fu with the first mate who spoke just now, that is, the third child.
As the second officer on the ship, it is inevitable to stand up and lead the team at this time.
The group walked quickly towards the staircase, Lu Jing deliberately took a few steps faster during the march, and walked in front of Uncle Fu, who glanced at Lu Jing and knew that he wanted to protect himself, pursed his lips, stepped forward and whispered: "Ah Jing, if there is really something wrong, don't carry it, life matters!"
"Don't worry, I know it. ”
After a brief reply, Lu Jing was already engrossed at this time, ripped off two broken fishing nets from the wall of the corridor, wrapped them around his right hand twice and then held the short axe, while his left hand remained relaxed, with a few imperceptible blue lights in his palm.
Only a few meters away from the staircase, Lu Jing suddenly raised his hand and motioned for everyone to stop and not speak.
No one asked, for the next second everyone heard a shrill roar and a creaking sound from the bottom of the stairs.
Monsters are ascending the stairs!
Realizing this, Lu Jing didn't think too much about it and rushed forward, he wanted to stand up in advance, but the stairs that were only a few meters high couldn't buy him time to occupy a place, and as soon as he ran nearby, a gray-green monster jumped out of the corridor and roared and pounced on Lu Jing.
Faced with this sudden situation, Lu Jing did not hesitate to swing the short axe in his hand.
The moment he struck, he clearly felt that his strength and reaction speed had increased a lot, so that the monster in front of him didn't have time to resist, and the axe blade slashed straight into its head.
One blow is hit, or it is fatal, but Lu Jing did not see the slightest joy on his face, he clearly felt that the short axe that could easily cut off the spine of the sea fish was like cutting into a rubber tire at this time, and every inch of progress required great effort, not to mention, there was a faint push force around the axe blade.
You must know that although it was a hasty response, Lu Jing also used nearly seven points of strength this time, which can barely be said to be the full strength before!
In this stalemate, Lu Jing finally saw the appearance of the guy in front of him, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a cold chill spread down his spine.
The gas lamp on the roof of the hallway casts a dim glow on the monster whose head has been severed.
Its body has a vague humanoid shape, a gray green color in general, a white belly, a large scaly ridge on its back, and a fish-like head, with large, bulging eyes that never close, and a mouth full of fangs that are staggered and exposed.
At this time, it was staring at Lu Jing, and a howl of another tone suddenly sounded in its mouth, and then Lu Jing heard dense footsteps from downstairs......
"Uncle Fu, take them away, these monsters are not something we can solve. ”
If there is only this monster, Lu Jing is confident that he can solve it with his current strength, but downstairs there are clearly three monsters upward, and the short axe in his hand is already one of the few sharp weapons they can find at the moment, and the others are either empty-handed or holding steel rods or wooden table legs and other things, thinking that it is impossible to cause damage to these monsters at all.
If you let them rush up, in this not spacious space, the consequences will be unimaginable!
No one questioned Lu Jing's words, in fact, the first time they saw this terrifying monster, there were already people retreating, not that they wanted to turn their backs on their companions, but that the survival instinct of human beings forced them to stay away from the disgusting monster in front of them.
"Walking to the back, there is a staircase at the end of the hallway that leads directly to the outside of the warehouse. ”
Uncle Fu was quite familiar with this warehouse, pointed straight to the rear, and when everyone began to retreat, his eyes turned to the staircase again, and shouted loudly
"Ah Jing, hurry up!"
Lu Jing, who was in a stalemate with the monster, heard Uncle Fu's shout, kicked the monster in the chest, kicked it down the stairs, and turned around to follow Uncle Fu and the others in front of him.
Before he ran out a few steps, Lu Jing heard a roar from behind him, and turned his head to see that Lu Jing saw at least five fish monsters rushing towards this side, including the guy who had been cut down by himself with an axe just now!
"Fuck, where the hell did these monsters come from, I've been unloading ships here for almost ten years, and I've never heard of such monsters around here. ”
Uncle Fu obviously also noticed the situation behind him, and after complaining for a few sentences, he asked the most critical question in a muffled voice,
"Ah Jing, at this point in time, can you find someone near the port to help?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Qingchu City is an official port, and according to the rules of the Shuoming Imperial Court, there should be a hundred households stationed, Uncle Fu, do you know where the place is?"
Lu Jing vaguely remembered that when he was talking to someone about the pirates, the other party mentioned to him that in order to fight the pirates, the imperial court had guards in each official port to protect the merchant ships and people who came and went.
"yes, why didn't I think of it...... There must be soldiers on duty at the Baihu near the port, so they can fight against these monsters, the third one, take them to the Baihuo!"
With a pat on his head, Uncle Fu, who had figured it out, hurriedly reminded the others in front of him that the first mate had already opened the door at the end of the corridor on the second floor with someone at this time, and was standing at the door urging others to hurry downstairs.
"As long as you run to the hundred households, you will be saved, don't stop!"
Seeing that the first mate seemed to want to stay and wait for them to act together, Uncle Fu immediately became anxious and shouted loudly.
Lu Jing next to him heard a strange noise above his head at this time, his face changed, he raised his hand and grabbed Uncle Fu's shoulder and forcibly stopped him, without waiting for the latter to ask, the roof in front of him suddenly collapsed, and the two terrifying fish monsters pounced on the two of them with a mouth full of fangs as the wind and rain descended on the sky!
"Uncle Fu, enter the room and run separately!"
A few meters behind him is a monster rushing over, delaying here for even a second will make him fall into a dead place, Lu Jing didn't want to fight with the two monsters in front of him at all, pushed Uncle Fu to the room next to him, and he kicked open the door on his side, rushed in hurriedly, took a few steps, picked up the stool next to the table with one hand and smashed the window, then covered his head with both hands and jumped out.
The huge size and thick limbs of these monsters allow them to rely on the potential energy brought by their weight to continuously increase speed when running in a straight line, but their bloated body also makes it difficult for them to complete the transformation in the narrow corridor, which buys Lu Jing a certain amount of time.
The second floor of the warehouse is not high from the ground, after all, it is not a traditional building, Lu Jing's body is extremely solid, and after landing, he rolled forward and unloaded most of his strength, and then got up again and rushed to the position of the third and others.
However, just turned around, the whistling wind above his head made Lu Jing have to stop again, raise his hand to set up the short axe, almost at the same time, a claw with webbed wings happened to slap on the blade of the axe, and half of the claw was directly cut off, but Lu Jing calculated that there might be fish monsters on the roof, but he didn't expect that these guys were irrational, even if they were injured, they didn't give him a chance to pull the space to evacuate.
At the same time, several monsters flew out on the second floor of the warehouse, and Lu Jing looked back, and his eyes almost didn't pop out.
There are five fish monsters on the second floor of the warehouse, one is not much, and one is not many, all of them are here.
Chasing so hard, is there an urgent syrup in Lao Tzu's hand?
