Chapter 137 Gifts and Solicitation

Chapter 137 "Gifts and Solicitations"

"Nice to meet you, Captain Duncan~"

Pike smiled cruelly, adding a few more names to his list.

The Nick in front of him was the same as the captain who killed him. They were the same type of person.

He has little experience, thinks very highly of himself, and most importantly, has a weak will.

So Nick became Duncan, and the captain who killed Pike back then was called this name!

The next development was very different from Qiao Yang's experience. Time came to a standstill. Duncan drove his ship and took a group of crew members to sea.

Pike asked the question anyway, what was the name of the ship.

"The Terror!"

"Although she is just a sloop, she has been strengthened to the second level. She is no match for ordinary wind and waves. Don't worry, even the biggest turtle fish will become my wealth!"

Without any hesitation, Duncan directly announced the name of the ship and stood on the deck near the bow, looking high-spirited and confident.

"Yeah, it's a nice name."

However, after hearing this, Pike just replied casually, and then stopped talking, becoming unusually taciturn.

Time continued to pass, and they drifted at sea for five and a half days, three of which were spent wandering in this sea area, just to find the giant turtle fish.

"Captain, there is still one and a half days before the end of our contract period, and you don't have much time."

Pike's plain voice stimulated Duncan's tense nerves. He endured the anger in his heart and continued to look at the old charts.

Suddenly, a burst of cumulonimbus quickly condensed and formed over the Terror, followed by a purple thunderball falling, and a huge arc of electricity exploded on the sea.

Countless sea fish floating in the shallows were directly stunned by the electric shock, their belly turned white, and the air was filled with the aroma of grilled fish.

Fortunately, the hull is not conductive, so Duncan and others were just shocked.

Suddenly, a sailor responsible for the observation made a cry of surprise, pointed to the sea not far away with dancing hands, and shouted:

"Captain, see if that's the guy we're looking for!"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a monster close to the size of the Terror floating on the surface of the sea, with a mouth full of sharp teeth and a fishy smell that reached the sky, and revealed the extremely large number of them. Huge green sac.

They looked greedy, and Duncan was even more excited to take the helm himself and ordered:

"Everyone is here, ready to kill this big fish!"

In the face of terrifying interests, people subconsciously ignored the strength of this big baby.

When the cold and damp legendary realm came over, everyone was confused, especially Duncan, the "ambitious" captain, who almost wet his pants in fear.

As the heir of the Allens family, well, one of them to be precise.

He has seen legendary powerful men before, so he naturally knows what the legendary realm represents.

This means that if the giant turtle fish in front of them is not a legend, it is still a quasi-legend, and it is still the kind of existence that may break through in the next second. Their broken boat and eight people are not enough to fill their teeth.

"I love challenges like this!"

Just when Duncan was wondering whether to give up, Pike's calm voice came to his ears.

"Leave the harpoon to me. Remember, the reward this time will not be less!"

His confident attitude of victory really calmed the inexperienced captain. The scene of the series of rapes just now was still engraved in his mind. In his lust for profit, Duncan gritted his teeth and decided to do it.

"All personnel obey the order, release the harpoon, and cooperate with Pike's actions!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Now that the captain had given the order, these sailors had to obey even if they were somewhat reluctant. They took out the harpoon hooks that had been prepared and used the harpoon gun on the deck to control the giant turtle in front of them.

The next moment, a huge force was transmitted along the strong rope, shaking the Terror from side to side. The crew on the deck could not stand steadily. They could only stabilize their bodies by holding on to the rope or holding the mast. .

But the moment the giant turtle was controlled, Pike took action.

He took the lifeline and easily tied a strong knot around his waist. Then he jumped down while everyone looked at him like a madman. After swinging for several times in a row, he released the rope in his hand and reached straight for the giant Zhuoer. A green sac in a fish's mouth.

Anyone who has killed a turtle knows that this thing is not only extremely valuable, but also their Achilles heel!

The giant harpoon, aware of Pike's intentions, panicked, but the harpoon on its body restricted it greatly. The sharp and slender prongs were covered with barbs. No matter how it twisted or struggled, it could not break free. .

Although Duncan is a fool, his wallet is full enough. Everything on the Terror was purchased at a large price, so it goes without saying that it is sturdy.

At this time, Parker's eyes were filled with unprecedented excitement. Even though his net worth has risen rapidly, he has not encountered such a challenging job for a long time. It is foreseeable that after completing this job, he will be able to form a team. A fleet of his own, and an extraordinary fleet at that!

"Pfft!"

The boning knife in his hand got stuck on a blade in the mouth of the fish without any hindrance. Then Pike took out the harpoon that had been tied to his waist with a rope behind it. This was what he relied on. weapons for survival.

Looking at the huge green sac in front of him, he did not hesitate for a moment. The harpoon in his hand was like a mad shark biting, stabbing along the connective tissue connecting the green sac. As long as this blow was successful, then this battle would last for nearly a week. Even if the hunting activity ends successfully, everyone is a winner.

However, something unexpected would happen at such a critical moment. The moment the harpoon was about to hit, an extremely violent trembling sound formed an almost substantial ripple that drove him away for a distance and made him dizzy, even if he was experienced. For example, he can barely maintain his body shape, but it is unrealistic to continue attacking.

At the same time, within just a few seconds after the trembling sound of the giant turtle fish appeared, densely packed ordinary turtle fish swam out from the bottom of the sea quickly, and then launched a desperate attack on the Terror!

Bite!

Crash!

Flick!

Regardless of whether it works or not, they are trying their best to save their leader and their king.

"Oh, damn, hold the boat steady!"

Duncan held a rapier and found the right opportunity to stab the common turtles that came too close. His original greed for wealth was gradually replaced by panic. His family knew about his affairs. No matter how much money he invested, the fear at his feet would The Fear was just a sloop. It might be fast, but it was very weak in terms of sturdiness. He had already heard the sound of the ship's side panels breaking.

"boom!"

Another ball lightning flew out. The difference from before was that there was a lot of sea water on the deck at this time, and everyone felt their bodies numb.

There was a gap in the attack that could have been blocked. A slightly larger turtle slammed into it, and the sound of the ship's side breaking apart could be heard by everyone except Pike.

I don't know how much time passed, but Pike finally regained his balance. He looked excited. He could feel the panic of the giant turtle fish. Now, the offensive and defensive momentum was different!

Due to the vibrato just now, the lifeline around his waist was stretched straight. Just when he was about to remove the huge green sac, with a "stretch" sound, Pike realized that his lifeline was broken.

The violent imbalance caused his body to jump forward uncontrollably. The sharp harpoon tore through the green sac in front of his eyes. A large amount of magic essence was sprinkled all over him, blended into his skin, and drank into his stomach.

The turbulent power surged to the limbs and bones, but that was not important.

He turned over and looked at Duncan, who was hurriedly directing the Terror to retreat, with an expressionless face.

Dark cyan skin covered his whole body, and a red sharp-toothed mask covered half of his face. Only a pair of azure eyes were exposed. He spoke in a low and hoarse voice:

"I'm already dead, so what if I die a few more times."

"Your name is on my list, Nick!"

These two sentences accurately reached the ears of Duncan who was evacuating. At this moment, the storm subsided, the fish disappeared, and the boat under him turned into an ordinary sloop. Everything was an illusion, and he achieved it extremely smoothly. After reaching the "Be" ending, the trial of the master of Wandering City is about to begin!

"My name is Duncan, it's nothing..."

He subconsciously retorted, but midway through his words, Duncan's memories receded like a tide, and his own memories once again occupied the high ground called reason.

After Nick was confused for a while, unparalleled weakness spread throughout his body, and a notification sound from the endless sea rang in his ears:

"Tip: You have fallen into the [Soul Weakness] state. This state cannot be superimposed. When you obtain the related state again, you will be deemed dead."

This made his face turn extremely pale instantly. He only dared to sign up for the challenge because he would not die. Now the Endless Sea told him that he was going to die. How could he, a lucky man, accept this?

"Only a drowned captain is a good captain!"

Pike, filled with a thirst for killing in his heart, took action without hesitation. Now he was no longer the sailor who had just gained fame, but the master of Wandering City.

A scarlet cross formation appeared under everyone on the ship, covering them all inside.

“The fish is hooked!!”

The familiar harpoon was held in its hand, and its azure eyes were filled with indifference and endless hatred.

It hates betrayal!

Before Nick could react, the real attack covered the cross circle beneath him, and his consciousness disappeared instantly, along with all the crew members.

There is unstoppable fear in the eyes of these people, and in Pike's eyes, they are all crew members of the Terror, and everyone related to the Terror will die!

"Killing continues until everything is silent..."

Countless pale white coins fell on the deck, making a crisp sound.

Its skinny figure was wrapped in leather armor, and its sharp-toothed mask was soaked in blood, covering its entire body.

Looking at the disappearing body and the ship that gradually turned into nothingness, it slowly sank into the water, and a huge turtle fish swallowed it into its mouth, and finally disappeared.

At this moment, Nick felt as if a huge boulder was pressing on his chest. No matter how hard he struggled, it was of no use.

Unlike other people who were disqualified from the mission, he did not return to the First Sea after being killed by Pike, and seemed to just disappear.

If you check the number of people in his area of ​​the sea, you will find that the count in the lower right corner has changed from 752/1000 to 751/999. No one will notice this.

When he regained consciousness, the human wisdom was quickly obscured and covered with a layer of dark light.

Following his instinct, he swung his tail and swam in the direction of the school of fish.

On the other side, Qiao Yang also came to this story point. The storm on the sea appeared together with the leader of the turtle fish. Pike, who was about to show off his skills, saw a scene that shocked him before he could speak.

"Haha, we are rich!"

"Everyone is there, setting the harpoon and lowering the net. Such a big turtle will definitely be a highlight in my career as a captain!"

Qiao Yang personally raised the harpoon gun and locked the eyes of the giant turtle with precision. Large amounts of turbid liquid flowed out along with blood, and a painful roar came out.

This is not over yet. Others quickly put down the fishing net. The barbs on it are specially designed for hunting sea monsters. They can tightly bind most common or uncommon sea monsters, but there are risks in doing so. That is, before the target sea monster is killed, no one, including the ship itself, can escape. It is a fight to the death.

"Ouch!"

Hans howled excitedly, tied the lifeline, threw out his grappling hook, and ran in front of everyone. His ferocious face looked like an evil ghost from hell, completely regardless of how dangerous his behavior was. .

Although the others were not so exaggerated, they were not far behind. If they didn't have Hans's superb grappling hook skills, they would also want to do the same.

Yes, the sailors Qiao Yang brought were all elite, including Hans and Triller, good friends.

"Damn it, you're eating alone without me. Damn it, I'll remember you!"

Triller couldn't help but curse when he saw Hans running so fast, so he took out a harpoon and jumped into the sea immediately after. Although he knew it was an illusion, who could refuse a hearty and passionate hunt? ?

No one can, including Qiao Yang!

I saw him speeding up and sprinting up to the bow of the boat, his legs exerting force suddenly. The next moment, he jumped directly onto the back of the giant turtle fish. The scimitar in his hand split into two, as fast as lightning, and he penetrated unstoppably. Get into this big guy's back.

The sharp scimitar cut through the skin and penetrated the fat. In the end, only the handle of the knife was left outside. An even more ferocious howl passed through the thunder, and also awakened the shoals of Daur fish swimming here.

In fact, the legendary domain of the leader of the dragon fish has been launched for a long time, but it is of no use because Qiao Yang's crew is not afraid of this thing at all. There are so many strong people on the ship, and there are not a few who master the domain. They have long been accustomed to it.

What's more, they have even experienced the real legendary realm, and the realm of leader Zhuo Eryu is just water.

At this time, Parker was confused. This should obviously be his script. What's going on with you?

Steal the show! ?

In the third act, all the script is disrupted, and the previously stable illusion begins to shift, as if the programming has gone wrong.

However, this instability only lasted for a moment, and soon returned to normal. Pike did not remain dazed for too long. He grabbed the lifeline and followed closely with the same excitement, and finally landed accurately in the mouth of the giant turtle. .

Marquis and the remaining sailors stayed on the boat. The four of them were like an iron wall, guarding all the weak points. Not a single turtle could break through the defense line and touch the hull.

Time passed slowly, and with a shrill cry, the green sac at the throat of the giant turtle was removed. Just by weighing it with his hands, he knew that it weighed no less than ten kilograms.

If true, then this is an astonishing fortune.

It's a pity that this is an illusion created by Wandering City. It can only be said to be such a pity. Even Qiao Yang, who had long expected it, couldn't help but feel regretful.

Although he is not short of money, such a big green bag can extract a lot of magic essence, which is a good thing. He also has a large group of spellcasters to support.

Alas, what a pity.

Qiao Yang was covered in blood. Of course, it was not his, but the blood of leader Zuo Eryu.

The death of this big guy was quite painful. This can be seen from the hole connecting the back of its head to its throat. Someone dug a flesh and blood passage directly from its body. Needless to say, the process is quite cruel anyway. .

Just when Qiao Yang felt pity, Pike, who personally took off the green sac and handed it to him, spoke.

"How do you know this isn't true?"

Its voice was not human-like. A kind of coldness and dampness covered this small space, and a trace of azure covered its originally dark eyes.

"Do you still have such a big turtle fish here? As far as I know, there can only be one leader in a fish school."

Qiao Yang was not afraid that the owner of Wandering City who showed up would be unfavorable to him. He was not here to make a fortune, but to recruit people. If possible, he really wanted to recruit Pike on board.

"Yes, there's quite a lot. I suggest you try it. It's beneficial. It's a priceless treasure."

As its voice fell, the surrounding scene gradually returned to its original endless nothingness, and then changed again and again.

Finally, a port city full of lifeless atmosphere came into view, with countless poles standing in every corner of the city, shadowy.

If you look carefully, you will find a corpse hanging from each pole. Some have weathered into skeletons and seem to be shattered at the touch of a touch. Some are still very fresh, with edema all over the body and a speechless expression on their faces. of fear.

"These are all your collections?"

Qiao Yang asked casually as he smacked his lips.

"Of course, they are all damned guys. The endless turtle fish in Floating City are transformed from these sinful souls. This is a masterpiece, what do you think?"

It seems that he has seen the development of the story that he has never seen before. Parker is in a good mood now and has a good impression of Qiao Yang.

"Nice deal, oh, sorry I forgot, you don't need money either."

Qiao Yang didn't resent this way of handling it. As for whether the people here really deserved to die, that had nothing to do with him. He only cared about whether he could get Parker on board.

"You are the first and only captain who can see this place. I am actually very curious. Are you not afraid of death? Although you and your companions are not weak, you should understand that this place is very dangerous."

It did not directly state what the so-called danger was. It might be talking about the quasi-legendary turtle fish, or it might be talking about itself.

"Guys who are afraid of death don't deserve to be rich!"

He answered without hesitation. As early as the previous Earth, Qiao Yang had already understood this. Whether he followed order or tended to chaos, a timid guy would never make a fortune.

"You are indeed special, so why don't you consider my suggestion? What you have in your hands is priceless!"

"Of course, by the way, does this taste good?"

Qiao Yang took out the dagger and made a slit in the green sac. Countless priceless green oil dripped down his palm, and a very attractive fragrance floated in the air.

"Okay, I'm asking too much."

As a large amount of light cyan liquid penetrated into his throat, Qiao Yang felt a fire ignite in his belly, and his eye color gradually turned into the same color as Parker.

The personal panel also scrolled through several prompt messages at this time.

"Reminder: You drank the green sac of King Zuoer Fish, and your body structure has undergone subtle changes, and your attributes have been enhanced!"

"Strength +1, Agility +1, Constitution +1."

"Hint: You get a personal expertise - live forever!"

"Hint: You got the background expertise - Friends of Wandering City!"

As the green sac in his hand shriveled up, Qiao Yang couldn't help but burp.

“Hiccup~~~”

"Did you drink so much back then?"

Wiping his mouth, endless vitality spread throughout his body. This should be the function of his specialty [Endless Life], but the amount of this green sac is too damn big, even with the support of his strong physique, it is full. Feeling in the belly.

"Uh, did you drink it all?"

The corner of its eye twitched, and it subconsciously glanced at Qiao Yang's stomach. No, are there really such honest people these days?

"What, is there a problem?"

"It's no problem. Just make it happy... Okay, it's time for you to leave here. The Floating City is not suitable for living people to stay for a long time. You should know that, if you don't want to become a turtle."

Pike was ready to close the door and say goodbye. Although he admired Qiao Yang very much, he had to say goodbye.

If Qiao Yang chooses to leave now, he will have successfully reached the ending of "Ge". Not only will he get a lot of benefits, he will also meet this legendary figure and learn the truth about that year. It can be regarded as a worthwhile trip.

But he said from the beginning that he came here for people this time. If he just went back like this, that would not be his character.

Rather than a good ending, he wants to achieve the "Te" ending, which is the true ending. How can anyone give up after completing the dungeon?

"Your proposal is very good, but I refuse. What do you think of my captain?"

Qiao Yang looked at Parker who was about to see off the guests with a smile and said something very ambiguous.

"Better than any captain I've ever met, so I can stand here and see you off, and I don't want to put your name on my list."

It took out a slender piece of parchment that was as tall as a person, with names densely written on it. Qiao Yang noticed that the latest name was a captain named Nick. At this time, there was a check mark behind the name. What happened to him? Probably not very good.

"Then why don't you consider getting on the ship with me? I can set you free..."

Pike's rejection was expected by him, but every existence has weaknesses and desires. As long as you grasp this, nothing can be gained.

Sure enough, when he heard the last two words, Pike's eyes flickered and he began to lower his head in thought.

After a long time, it raised its head again and showed an inexplicable expression. It obviously had a result.

After a pause, it took a deep breath and said:

"Well, I hope you have this strength. Come with me, and I will take you to see Drifting City itself. If you can get rid of Him, not only me, but everything here will belong to you!"

After getting the desired result, Qiao Yang also showed a smile on his face. This is what he was waiting for. His character is to scrape three feet from the ground and nine inches from the sky. The treasure mountain is in front of him but he cannot take it away. This kind of Who can bear the torture?

Anyway, he couldn't stand it, especially after he personally experienced the excellent effect of the green sac of the leader of the turtle fish, he couldn't let it go!
