Chapter 129: Dangerous Promotion (3rd Watch)
Xue Zha felt that his clothes were soaked with sweat, and above his head, ten rounds of scorching sun continued to scorch his skin.
Sweat continued to roll down his forehead and cheeks, dripping to the ground.
However, due to the high temperature, the sweat just dripped to the ground and snorted, and by the way, it turned into a wisp of white steam and disappeared.
Xue Zha didn't dare to open his eyes, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but look at the ten rounds of scorching sun.
Under the light of ten suns, his eyes will be blind.
Sure enough, mythological idioms are not something that ordinary people can use. ”
Xue Zha's breathing gradually became heavy, and he felt that the spiritual power in his body was fading like a tide.
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly bit down the fifty-year-old ginseng that had been in his mouth for a long time, and the juice instantly filled his mouth.
When Xue Zha chewed the whole ginseng and swallowed it completely, he felt that his spiritual power was about to be exhausted.
"It's dangerous, it's just a little bit. ”
At this time, Xue Zha had already felt that the spiritual power in his body was constantly recovering.
Although the effect of fifty years of ginseng is outstanding, Xue Zha still feels that the consumption of ten rounds of scorching sun above his head is also very amazing.
The mental power he had just recovered was rapidly declining at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
"I knew I wouldn't have used this idiom, the consumption is so big, how should I play next!"
Xue Zha was a little crying without tears, he had prepared a full twenty ginseng before he was promoted, and now he was about to consume half of it, at the current rate, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on to the completion of the upgrade.
"No, you can't go on like this, you have to think of something else. ”
Xue Zha knew that there was not much time left for him and options.
Once his ginseng is finished, he is like a traveler stranded in the desert, and when the water is dry, then he will have to wait for death.
Of course, Xue Zha can also choose to give up this promotion, but in this way, all the efforts he has made before will be in vain.
Xue Zha is not a reckless person, but at the same time he is a person who is not willing to waste opportunities.
If he can't seize the opportunity for this promotion, next time, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to be promoted.
The level is like a lock, if you can't open it this time, it will be even more difficult next time.
Xue Zhe really didn't know how to explain it, and to be honest, no one believed it.
It's no wonder that he obviously has the strength and doesn't need to be caught at all, but he doesn't have any resistance, which can't help but make people doubt his purpose.
Xue Zha retracted the momentum on his body, scratched his head, and then reached out and threw the shrimp line of the big lobster just now on the deck.
"Well, I really don't have any ill will, and besides, I really came out of the Holy Island, and I have a mission on my part, and I have to do it. ”
Xue Zha spread his hands to show that he was harmless, and at the same time took out his body, indicating that he was not carrying a weapon.
Tang Long'er's eyes were still full of vigilance, but her face softened a little.
She waved her hand at the subordinates who had already surrounded Xue Zha, and at the same time straightened her back, looked at Xue Zha and said.
"What does your mission have to do with us?"
Xue Zha saw that Tang Long'er was still so cautious at this time, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
"Don't mention it, the Holy Courtyard has sent me a lot of tasks, and I don't have a clue until now, so I thought I would ask some people who are familiar with the sea environment, who asked you to tie me to the ship while I was sleeping?"
Tang Long'er's face was slightly red when he heard Xue Zha's words.
As Xue Zha said, it was she who tied Xue Zha to the boat, and he provoked Xue Zha first, and the people did not kill people to retaliate on a large scale, which was already regarded as merciful to his subordinates.
"You are not familiar with the sea? Who is not a good navigator from the Holy Island? Who are you?"
The atmosphere that had just eased up instantly became tense again, Tang Long'er clenched the weapon in his hand, and the battle would be triggered at any time.
Xue Zhe really couldn't stand the woman in front of him, he had already said it so clearly, why didn't he believe it.
In fact, I can't complain about Xue Zha, people who beg for a living on the sea, especially those who are pirates, live a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife.
There is no friendship and affection between pirates, and whoever has a hard fist is the boss with more people, so the word trust does not exist at all in pirates.
It is also a new experience for people who live inland all year round and have never seen much of the sea, and it is also a feeling that they have never experienced at all.
So it's not that Xue Zha doesn't understand, it's that he doesn't know the situation at all, which is completely different from the fights between those gang families on land.
Tang Long'er saw that Xue Zha didn't speak for a long time, and the weapon in his hand became tighter and tighter, for fear that the next moment, Xue Zha took out a dagger and stabbed her.
But with Xue Zha's long sigh, Tang Long'er showed doubts on his face.
"Alas...... I really don't know how you became the boss of the pirate group, you don't have a little observation and judgment, it seems that I think highly of you, since you don't want to believe me, give me a ship and some supplies, I'll leave now. ”
Xue Zha shook his head, a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes, and he glanced at Tang Long'er one last time, then stopped looking at it.
Somehow, Tang Long'er was glanced at by Xue Zha, and a feeling of guilt suddenly arose in his heart, and this feeling became stronger and stronger, and it has been lingering in his heart.
Xue Zha saw that Tang Long'er didn't react, and finally decided not to delay any longer, turned around and walked towards the bottom of the boat.
When the pirates saw Xue Zha, they did not stop it in the slightest, and directly formed a passage two people wide.
Tang Long'er saw that Xue Zha didn't look back, and was about to disappear from her sight, she subconsciously shouted.
"Wait a minute!"
Xue Zha's footsteps stopped, but he didn't turn around, but there was already a smile on his face.
"What for?"
Xue Zha turned his head sideways, glanced at Tang Long'er and asked.
"What's your name?"
Tang Long'er frowned and asked.
Xue Zha turned around slowly, and this time there was a puzzled expression on his face.
"You didn't stop me just to ask my name, did you? Sorry, I didn't make an appointment. ”
There was a hint of anger on Xue Zha's face, and he turned around again to leave.
Tang Long'er was really a little anxious now, although she didn't know who Xue Zha was at all, and she didn't know what Xue Zh's purpose was, but she couldn't help but be moved when she remembered what Xue Zha said just now.
It is true that Tang Long'er is the leader of a pirate group, but she is also a woman after all, and due to the limitations of the times, the status of women is not very high, and women can't show their heads outside, let alone mix with a group of men every day.
But Tang Long'er is not a person who is willing to be ordinary, she also wants to do something big, and she also wants those stinky men who look down on her to see how good she is, even better than many men.
Therefore, Xue Zha's proposal just now was very tempting for her.
"Stop! I want to ask you, what will I have to pay if you help me become the best pirate group in this sea?"
Xue Zhe heard Tang Long'er's words, his footsteps stopped again, and this time, his eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that his goal had been achieved.
But before Xue Zha could turn around and speak, a few people who looked like heads stood up beside Tang Long'er.
"Boss, we don't even know who he is, so we can't take risks!"
"Yes, we will definitely suffer if we do it, we can't beat him, think twice, boss!"
Tang Long'er saw the two left and right hands coming to his side, and a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"I'm the boss of this ship, I have the final say!"
Tang Long'er's tone became tough, and his attitude was very resolute.
