Chapter 19: There is no hope of returning home

The morning sun carries endless vitality, the salty sea breeze gently caresses the bow of the ship, and the fledgling sun, unhesitatingly spreading the sun, lights up this magnificent sea.

This is already on the sea more than a hundred miles away from Blackwater City.

And Cao Yanchao also woke up again after falling asleep all night.

Then, Cao Yanchao was embarrassed to find that his clothes had already been torn, but there was a set of clean clothes next to the wooden bed where he woke up.

So, Cao Yanchao changed into this set of Avengers mercenary group's gray and white clothes, although it didn't fit well, but in extraordinary times, it was barely enough.

And it wasn't until this time that Cao Yanchao discovered for the first time that he had a body that was different from ordinary people, maybe this was his welfare as a traverser!

Because last night, Cao Yanchao was almost roasted and eaten by those blue-skinned orcs.

At that time, Cao Yanchao could clearly feel that his back was about to be roasted by the raging flames.

And when he was running desperately in the dark night, he also realized that the wound on his back was constantly cracking.

However, when he was changing clothes just now, Cao Yanchao found that he couldn't find a little scar on his body?

In fact, when Uncle Sam picked up Cao Yanchao, he felt that something was not quite right, but he didn't know at that time that he still had the ability to recover himself?

Looking back now, Cao Yanchao's ability to wake up again and again from the old village chief's house is already the best illustration.

At that time, Cao Yanchao was hit by a big explosion, and as a result, he was in a coma for several days, so later, when he came to his senses, the old village chief and Cao Yanqiu were full of surprise and shouted miracles.

Looking back now, it was all because of Cao Yanchao's ability to save him, so he was able to wake up again and again.

Although, from now on, Cao Yanchao no longer has to worry about being injured, but he is still not sure about his recovery ability, what kind of level it is, as far as it seems at present, it is obvious that he has not reached the exaggerated level of Wolverine's immortality.

All this is still a mystery.

If Wolverine's self-recovery ability is the top, then an ordinary person's self-recovery ability is the lowest.

And Cao Yanchao's self-recovery ability should be in the middle of the top and lowest levels, and in terms of the degree of recovery and recovery speed, there should be intermediate and high-level existences.

Intermediate recovery ability means that no matter how many injuries you have, you can recover in the end, but it takes a lot of time to recover, while advanced recovery ability means that you can quickly recover to a normal state after suffering the same injury.

However, the above two recovery abilities are not yet to the extent of regeneration of severed limbs, which means that if the head is gone, it will also die.

So judging from the current situation, Cao Yanchao should only have an intermediate recovery ability, that is, ordinary people are a little stronger and more resistant to beating, but it is still far from the level of Wolverine, so it is not a superpower.

Of course, the specific recovery effect, it will take time to slowly observe.

As for the ability to say immortality, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is basically impossible to achieve, so forget it!

After all, Cao Yanchao is still young, and he doesn't want to die early, after all, there is only one human life!

Cao Yanchao will not be like the protagonist in film and television dramas, once he discovers himself and has immortal superpowers, he will start to die like crazy!

That kind of behavior seems extremely naΓ―ve in Cao Yanchao's eyes, and only children would do that.

Is it not good for people to live?

Why, if you live well, do you have to die?

Moreover, Cao Yanchao also secretly made up his mind that he must treat the ability to recover himself as a top secret like that of a super-wearer, buried in his heart forever, and will never talk about it to anyone.

And Cao Yanchao currently has more important things to deal with.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else in the cabin now, Cao Yanchao first took out a fist-sized walnut from his mouth, it was this damn thing, it almost killed him, and he couldn't speak properly all the time.

Now that it has finally been taken out, Cao Yanchao's whole person has become relaxed.

And it was at this time that Cao Yanchao came to his senses, he was still alive before, and it should be his recovery ability that saved him.

Otherwise, with such a big walnut stuffed in his mouth, it would be a miracle that he was not swallowed alive by it.

Cao Yanchao, who finally woke up, began a happy life all day.

As the old saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and today's Cao Yanchao is very happy, and then he happily walked out of the cabin and enjoyed the beautiful scenery around him.

Since this is a ship, the crew of the ship is very small, except for Uncle Sam and Miss Nalan Toya, there are only five companions.

However, according to Uncle Sam, in fact, in the cabin of this spaceship, there is an old guy who is reluctant to show his face all year round.

When everyone left the ship, the old guy would still stay in the cabin, silently guarding the ship.

So the safety of the spacecraft, you don't have to worry about it at all.

Due to the small number of people, although the whole spaceship is not very large, it seems to be very spacious.

It's breakfast time, Sister Narantoya is busy making breakfast, and Cao Yanchao takes advantage of everyone doing their own thing to visit the entire spaceship.

Cao Yanchao also took the opportunity to measure the size of the spaceship with his own feet.

Then Cao Yanchao discovered that the deck length of this spaceship was eighty-one steps, but the width was exactly eighteen steps, which was a very auspicious number.

However, considering that Cao Yanchao's age is still young, his steps are relatively small, so if converted in half, the length of the deck should be about forty meters, and the width should be between nine and ten meters.

Although from the outside, it is just an ordinary wooden sloop merchant ship, and it is also the oldest oriental cargo ship, with a wide bow and a lone mast.

However, because of the need to fly in the sky, the first half of the entire spaceship is abrupt, only in the back half of the spaceship, there is a low cabin, and the edge part is only a row of closely connected female walls.

Judging from the shape of the female wall, they are mainly used to observe the situation under the ship, and by the way, they can block the attack of some arrows.

Although the appearance of the entire spaceship is very old, with many traces of erosion over time, there is no major damage to be seen.

This must be the result of Uncle Sam's careful maintenance, even the wide deck has been wiped clean, and not a single speck of dust can be found on it.

And facing the sea breeze that keeps blowing in front of him, Cao Yanchao is very much looking forward to it, and he really wants to see it fly, and it should feel great when he thinks about it.

It's just a pity that now this spaceship is constantly heading east on the sea, although Cao Yanchao doesn't know where its destination is, but seeing that everyone is all accustomed to it, Cao Yanchao can't help but forget a little.

Just when Cao Yanchao had nothing to do, he finally couldn't hold back, and walked along the long deck to the cockpit located at the back of the spaceship.

There was nothing particularly important here, but a huge crystal ball attracted Cao Yanchao's attention.

This is supposed to be a naturally formed crystal ball, but I don't know how to do it, but inside the crystal ball, there is a model of a small boat.

At this time, it is in the center of the crystal ball, constantly moving forward, but it can never get out of the center of the crystal ball.

And at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind Cao Yanchao.

"Do you understand?"

After hearing the voice, Cao Yanchao immediately turned his head, and then he saw that the person who came was none other than Uncle Sam.

Probably because he had just woken up, Sam was looking like a ruffian, soaking loosely on a huge chair while drinking an unknown drink.

And Cao Yanchao was not too surprised by this, because he already knew that this was the true face of Uncle Sam, and only when facing outsiders would he pretend to be fierce and scary.

So now it seems that Uncle Sam should have accepted Cao Yanchao, so he will talk to him in this state.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Yanchao dared to walk around the spaceship without any care, and even the cockpit walked in.

Generally speaking, the cockpit is absolutely a forbidden place for the entire ship, or the kind that is strictly forbidden for outsiders to enter.

But looking at Uncle Sam's appearance, he obviously didn't care, but looked at Cao Yanchao with a curious expression.

To be honest, Sam has also seen many children, but he has never met a child like Cao Yanchao, no matter what happens, he is indifferent, without the cautious and cowering look of ordinary children.

As for the kind of child who is withdrawn by nature, Sam has also seen it, but Cao Yanchao is obviously not that kind of child.

Because no matter what time it is, Cao Yanchao can maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, as if he is interested in anything, but he never knows what it means to be afraid.

This made Sam very interested in Cao Yanchao, because this personality is very similar to him, but there are some differences.

Although Sam is also full of endless curiosity about this world, he still retains enough awe in his heart for those gods who are like me.

But Cao Yanchao didn't seem to be afraid of anything, even for unknown gods, he had no awe at all.

This made Sam feel that he didn't save the wrong person this time, and if Cao Yanchao was willing, he wouldn't even mind taking him as his adopted son, which was okay.

Of course, all of this is just Sam's idea, and if he really wants to implement it, he will have to consult with Nalan Toya.

After all, adopting a son is not a simple matter, and adopted sons in this world have the same inheritance rights as their own sons.

And Cao Yanchao, who didn't know anything about Uncle Sam's thoughts, shook his head a little hesitantly.

Although he had already guessed the usefulness of the crystal ball, Cao Yanchao did not understand the true principle of the crystal ball, nor did he know its true function.

So he shook his head decisively, indicating that he didn't know.

And Sam shook his head at Cao Yanchao, naturally he was very understanding, basically everyone came to this cockpit, and their first question was about this crystal ball.

So Sam introduced this crystal ball.

"It's a very rare orb, and yes, it's not a crystal orb, it's a magic orb made of magic.

Well, magic orbs are special items made with magic.

It can clearly show all the status of the ship, well, I mean, whether it's at sea or in the air, it can be displayed in real time. ”

Then, Sam turned his gaze to Cao Yanchao, because at this time, everyone usually let out an exclamation, after all, magic items are very rare.

However, Cao Yanchao didn't let Sam get his wish, he just nodded silently, because he had already guessed these things one step ahead.

Sam couldn't help but feel a little angry when he didn't get the answer he wanted, but he quickly picked himself up and continued.

"Of course, in addition to being able to display the navigation status, it is also the control center of the entire ship, you can come and try it first, and gently put your hand on the top of the magic orb. ”

After finishing speaking, Sam looked at Cao Yanchao with a spicy face.

Although Cao Yanchao also guessed that there must be something greasy in this, he still obeyed Sam's instructions, stretched out his left hand, and then gently placed it on top of the magic ball.

As a result, nothing happened?

This time, not only Cao Yanchao was surprised, but even Sam was shocked, he jumped up from his seat with a look of disbelief, and then he walked to the side of the magic ball.

"Is this thing broken?"

As a result, when Sam put his hand on top of the magic ball, the magic ball immediately lit up with a brilliant light, but it was not dazzling, it was more like a computer that had just been started.

"It's weird, it's not broken, is it?"

At this time, Sam was a little surprised, he looked at the magic ball blankly, then he looked at Cao Yanchao, and then he said without giving up.

"Why don't you try again?"

So Cao Yanchao stretched out his left hand with an indifferent face, but the result was still the same as before, and the magic ball was like an ordinary glass ball without any reaction.

But Sam still wouldn't give up, and he put his hand on top of the orb again.

Then, once again, the magic ball lit up with a dazzling light.

This time, Sam finally gave up, he muttered with a lonely face.

"You're a Demon Slayer?

It was the first time Cao Yanchao had heard the Demon Killer's statement, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Uncle, what is a Demon Slayer?"

For a moment, Sam couldn't help but hesitate, but he didn't hesitate for too long, and said it generously.

"As early as more than 10,000 years ago, when the first human awakened the magical elements in the body, human beings became very interested in magic, and then began crazy research, and at the same time, human civilization has also been greatly developed.

And since that time, there have been more and more people with magical elements in their bodies, and there is even a particularly powerful magician who invented a ring of magic that can make ordinary people sense more magical elements.

But later the magicians also discovered that among the massive number of humans, there are still some people who are inherently unable to sense any magical elements.

Even if they use a ring of sensing magic, they are also unable to feel any magical elements.

These people are also called demon slayers, that is, people who have forbidden the magic element. ”

When he said this, Sam couldn't help but look at Cao Yanchao with some embarrassment, but found that he was not impatient, but listened with relish.

So Sam coughed, then got down to business.

"And the so-called Demon Absolute refers to a person who is born without a magic element, and not only that, but the Demon Absolute is also immune to most magical attacks.

By the way, this magical element, just a more official term, people prefer to call it magic.

And the person who has a lot of magic power is a magician, and those who have a poor magic sense can also choose to become a squire knight, although it is only the lowest knight, but through continuous fighting, it can also become a higher-level knight. ”

And one of the main functions of this magic ball is that it can activate the magic elements in the body of ordinary people.

In other words, only those who possess magical powers can activate it. ”

At this point, Sam suddenly stopped talking and stopped talking.

And Cao Yanchao on the side was stunned for a while, and then he understood.

It turns out that according to the meaning of Uncle Sam's words, that is, a person like Cao Yanchao will never be able to activate the magic ball in his life, which means that he will never be the owner of this spaceship.

Although there are some regrets about this, Cao Yanchao doesn't care, he is very optimistic, and shook his head indifferently, isn't it a demonless person, can this thing be eaten, he is not rare?

Then, Cao Yanchao opened his mouth and said the question he was most concerned about.

"Uncle Sam, can this wooden boat fly?"

Sam felt some regrets, but he still said with an affirmative face.

"Well, when we get rid of the little tail behind us..... hey, isn't it?"

At this time, Sam reacted, he looked at Cao Yanchao with a surprised expression, and it took a long time before he asked.

"You, you, can you speak? Aren't you dumb?"

Cao Yanchao shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, and then he took out the walnut he had dug out earlier from the pocket of his jacket and handed it to Uncle Sam.

"I'm not a little mute! It's all this walnut that makes me unable to speak. ”

Originally, Sam felt that his feelings had been cheated, and he couldn't help but be a little angry, but when he saw the walnut, he was even more surprised?

"What? You've actually met a foreigner? This can't be, since the three kingdoms signed a peace treaty more than a hundred years ago, the aliens have withdrawn all their troops from this vicinity, how can such a thing come out?"

Although Uncle Sam still didn't want to believe it, Cao Yanchao explained calmly.

"Do you call them, aliens? Are they the kind of blue-skinned barbarians, with heads similar to those of beasts, and bodies like humans, with terrifying strength, and several times more powerful than ordinary people?"

Although Sam didn't want to believe it, in front of Chiguoguo's evidence, he nodded resignedly.

"It seems that you have actually seen aliens, they do have blue skin, beast-like heads, and human bodies.

It was precisely because they had bodies similar to those of us humans that the kings of the human kingdom mistakenly thought that they were the creations of magicians, and they always wanted to negotiate with them, and as a result, they sent a large number of messengers, but they were all killed.

Later, the magicians came forward, explaining that they were not man-made, but a group of demons from another world. ”

Cao Yanchao nodded, indicating that he finally understood, and then he continued.

"Yesterday, after I was captured by these aliens, I almost thought I was going to die, but fortunately, I met a group of human warriors at that time, and they bravely attacked the camp where the aliens were, so I had a chance to escape from the chaos. ”

Sam nodded as he should, and then he spoke slowly.

"Since the Three Kingdoms signed a peace treaty more than a hundred years ago, the king of the alien race has decreed that their people will never appear near Blackwater City in times of non-war.

Since these aliens dare to come, then we, as a human side, will naturally not let them go.

If a few of us meet aliens, we will also go up and kill them.

Then they can use their heads to exchange for magic crystal coins in Blackwater City, a foreign person's head, but they can exchange it for a magic crystal coin.

A battalion of aliens, that's a thousand magic crystal coins!

It's a shame this time, it's actually cheaper than the patrol guys!"

And looking at Uncle Sam's regretful look, Cao Yanchao had to kindly remind him.

"Uncle, you can't never see a real alien, right?

The combat power of the aliens is very strong.

I've seen it with my own eyes, just a random alien can fight against the siege of three human warriors, or the one that doesn't fall behind, if you pass, it's probably the life of a food delivery!"

may have noticed that there was some contempt in Cao Yanchao's words, and Sam suddenly said with an unhappy face.

"If a child doesn't understand, don't talk nonsense.

The human warriors you see are nothing more than a group of lowly-level patrolmen, most of them are ordinary people like you, and maybe even a team of cannon fodder composed of demon slayers, or people with particularly low magic power.

Because they can't use any magic weapons, they can only be arranged to be a big soldier, and their usual job is to patrol the land near Blackwater City, if they encounter those aliens who cross the border, they can be surrounded and suppressed on the spot, and if they can't beat it, they can call for support.

And in the process of fighting against aliens, because they can't use magic weapons, they naturally struggle when fighting.

However, I'm a regular knight, and I have a lot of extraordinary means, and if I want to kill some aliens, isn't that a matter of being able to capture them?"

Regarding what Uncle Sam said, Cao Yanchao was deeply suspicious.

Although Sam's strength should be stronger than those patrols, he estimates that his strength is limited, and if he really encounters a foreigner, he doesn't know who will be cold first.

But now, after all, he is on someone else's territory, if he doesn't believe it, it is estimated that he will be cold first, so he said lightly.

"Is it true? Is a regular knight very powerful? Can it split a big stone, or can it tear the earth, or can it cut the sea?"

may have been provoked by Cao Yanchao's words, Sam immediately became angry, and he immediately forcibly explained.

"Naturally, it is very profitable, although it is not to the extent of tearing the earth and cutting the sea, but if you want to split a big stone, isn't it an easy thing?

If I meet a hundred patrols, I can destroy them all by myself, how can I be at stake?"

Unexpectedly, Cao Yanchao still pouted with disgust, but he didn't speak anymore, just looked at him silently.

Seeing Cao Yanchao in the same way, he still didn't look convinced, Sam was a little angry, but he quickly thought of a way, and suddenly raised the walnut in his hand and said.

"You know, what is this?"

When he heard this, Cao Yanchao couldn't help but hesitate, but he still answered honestly.

"Isn't it just a walnut?"

Realizing that he finally had another chance to perform, Sam immediately said with a smug face.

"Say you're a child, you're still not convinced, uncle will teach you today!

This is no ordinary walnut, but a magic artifact, and its real name is the Forbidden Word Bead.

By the way, I forgot to tell you before, so I'll tell you all at once.

There are two types of magic weapons, one is called magic tools, which are not only expensive but also very rare, and the other is the magic tools used by ordinary people, which are relatively reasonable and have a lot of them.

For example, a magic orb is a type of magic device, and this silence bead is a magic object, although they are both magic items made with magic.

However, the magic ball is a permanent item, and the magic weapon is a mass-produced ordinary product, but after it is manufactured, there will be a limit to the number of times it can be used.

Of course, for a demon killer like you, most magic weapons are unusable.

It's just that there are some special-purpose magic tools, but there is a possibility of use, such as this silence ball, which is also effective on you, but not so big.

For example, this forbidden bead, although it looks like an ordinary walnut from the outside, but inside it, it has very special magic patterns, so it does not need to be driven by magic to achieve the special effect of forbidden words.

Although it is just an ordinary walnut for you, it will only make you unable to speak, but your body functions will not have much impact.

But if it is stuffed into the mouth of a person with magical powers, it can completely seal his cultivation, not only can he not speak, but even the magic power in his body cannot be mobilized, so he can only let those aliens ravage him.

In the war with humans, the aliens used this kind of forbidden speech bead in large quantities, and this is definitely something that makes all human beings smell and change. ”

At this time, Cao Yanchao nodded thoughtfully, it seems that this is indeed the case, at that time, he also had a feeling that people were swordsmen, and I was fish and meat!

"But so what?"

Cao Yanchao was still confused.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Sam suddenly looked proud, and patted the small round shield on his left arm, and then the small round shield, just like the magic ball, also lit up with a strange light.

This time, Cao Yanchao finally understood, it turned out that Uncle Sam also had magic weapons on his body, oh no, it should be magic tools, no wonder he felt that dealing with aliens would be a handy thing.

Cao Yanchao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for a while, but he quickly thought of a good way, that is, to change the topic.

"Uncle Sam, didn't you just say we had little tails behind us?

I didn't expect Sam, but he said indifferently.

"It's just a bunch of followers, and it only takes a little more for the Warrior to get rid of them completely. ”

However, seeing that Uncle Sam didn't want to say more, Cao Yanchao stopped asking, but talked about his homecoming.

"Uncle, when are you going to send me home?"

This time it was Sam's turn to be embarrassed, although he did know where Montenegro Village was, but when he went to Montenegro Village, he had a closed door, so he didn't have a good impression of the people in Montenegro Village!

It's just that Sam didn't expect that Cao Yanchao would be a person from Black Mountain Village, no wonder he would be a Demon Killer, the reason why Black Mountain Village attracted his attention was because the villagers of Black Mountain Village were all absolute demons, and he wanted to enter the village to find out.

After a moment's hesitation, Sam began to talk nonsense.

"Black Mountain?

Within a few hundred miles of this vicinity, there are too many mountains that meet the same conditions, if you go further north.

That's even more, and within a hundred thousand miles further north, there are mountains of about the same size, which are also the last territories of mankind.

As for what you said, a small village with a salt water lake, then I don't know even more.

Because, no matter what village it is, if it has a natural salt water lake on its own, it must be kept strictly secret.

And as a foreigner, how could I possibly know such a level of secrecy?"

Such words made Cao Yanchao feel very desperate, because reason told him that what Uncle Sam said was not wrong.

However, now, unless Cao Yanchao can find the orcs who captured him in the first place, let them take him back, but that is obviously impossible.

Let's not talk about whether he can find those orcs, even if he does, those orcs will probably kill him immediately, as for taking him home, it is obviously impossible.

(What's more, those orcs have been ambushed and killed by human warriors!)

Therefore, if Cao Yanchao wants to return to Black Mountain Village, he can only look for it from village to village, otherwise he will not be able to find the location of Black Mountain Village at all.

But that is obviously impossible, at least until Cao Yanchao has no ability to protect himself, it is definitely an impossible thing.

Not every time Cao Yanchao can meet such a good person as Uncle Sam.

If he encounters some particularly vicious bad guys, then Cao Yanchao's situation will be really dangerous, after all, he is only ten years old now, and he has no ability to protect himself at all.

And just when Cao Yanchao was in deep pain, he didn't notice that Sam on the side showed a smile that the conspiracy had succeeded.

In fact, Sam is indeed not a good person, because he lied, but he really wants to keep Cao Yanchao now, so he will deceive Cao Yanchao, saying that he does not know the location of Black Mountain Village.

After all, Sam is a man who owns a spaceship, and he has the Warrior spaceship that can fly at any time, so he naturally doesn't take the dense mountains in his eyes.

For others, it may be an impossible task.

But for Sam, it's just a very ordinary thing.

That's the benefit of owning a spaceship.

When Sam first owned the spaceship, he had been to Black Mountain Village, but the villagers of Black Mountain Village at that time sternly refused, and he wanted to enter the village to visit.

And there were some small fights between the two sides, and the two sides formed a bond.

Although Cao Yanchao is a child from Black Mountain Village, which makes Sam very unhappy, he has different thoughts about Cao Yanchao, of course not that kind of thought.

It's that Sam needs Cao Yanchao to help him do something, although it still needs Cao Yanchao's consent, but Sam is not worried about Cao Yanchao and will refuse.

Because, Sam knows a big secret about Black Mountain Village, and Cao Yanchao will definitely agree to his request when the time comes.

The reason why it hasn't been proposed yet, on the one hand, is because Cao Yanchao is still too weak, and on the other hand, because that place has not yet reached the time to open.

As for Uncle Sam's thoughts, Cao Yanchao, who still has no idea, is thinking in his heart, what should he do next?
