Chapter 2: A True Man
As soon as the words fell, Chris's men, who seemed to be cleaning up the battlefield, took out their weapons.
Rune also noticed that these people had quietly formed a circle around him.
"Merchants are indeed more shameless than pirates." Rune was not surprised. He picked up the Destiny in his hand and prepared for battle.
"You misunderstood me on this point, Graves. It doesn't matter to me whether it is shameless or not. I only care about interests, and the rest is not important. It is in my interest for you to die here now."
Chris said calmly,
"Pirate Graves is evil and hijacked ten Black Shark cargo ships. I took action to protect the interests of my allies and killed the evil thief."
Rune's finger was already on the trigger, "It's a good idea, but it depends on whether you have the ability!"
The next second, the bullets of the Destiny shotgun shot out and headed straight for Chris!
The upgraded large lead bullets came fiercely, and the white smoke mixed with fragmented shrapnel had a terrifying explosive power.
Chris absolutely could not avoid such a close distance and such a fast trajectory.
The facts did not deviate from Rune's calculations, and the first shot successfully hit Chris.
However, in the blink of an eye, a blue barrier appeared in front of Chris, successfully blocking the bullet.
"Hum!"
"Barrier scroll. Really rich!"
Rune was not surprised by this, but he still cursed.
These rich people dare not say much about other things, but they must have a lot of first-class props!
Even if their own abilities are insufficient, they can make up for it through props!
What barrier scrolls, recovery scrolls, acceleration scrolls, high-end fireballs, sheep transformation
Fancy things emerge in an endless stream.
However, barrier scrolls are also limited!
The upgraded large lead bullets are powerful. The first shot just now has made the barrier shake a little.
Two more shots, and the barrier is broken.
But Chris's men around him don't seem to want to give themselves such an opportunity.
A servant had quietly approached without knowing when.
Rune turned around and fired a shot!
The huge impact force blew the attacker away, turning him into a pool of meat paste on the deck.
"Come on! His gun can only hold two bullets at a time!" Chris called out to his men.
Rune sneered, "You guys are very clear about intelligence."
But the past was the past, and the present is now!
Rune, who has activated Sequence 9, is completely different from Graves in the past.
For example. A real man!
Physical strength increased by 20%, and one layer was added every five seconds, up to ten layers!
From the first shot to now, Rune's real manliness has reached three levels.
Originally, his physical strength was much stronger than that of ordinary pirates, and now with such a terrifying increase, he has an overwhelming advantage against these guys!
The only threat to Rune is that the four people brought flintlock rifles!
But ordinary flintlock rifles are filled with black gunpowder, and can only fire one shot at a time, and the power is pitifully small.
If the distance is too far, it is easy to miss.
At this time, Rune was already in the battle, and he had stacked up all the passive skills of a real man!
Ten layers!
Three times the physical strength increase.
Whether it is strength, reaction speed, or muscle strength, they are all tripled.
Four people fired four bullets, and only two successfully hit.
But these two shots hit Rune, and it was only a minor injury. Instead, the pain increased his fighting spirit!
The besieged enemies were stunned. Is this still a human!
The opponent has no long-range weapons, and only cold weapons are left for close combat. Rune is not afraid at all!
The Destiny Shotgun is used directly as a blunt weapon. When blocking and knocking an enemy away, two bullets are loaded.
With the roaring gunshot, two more enemies died.
Several people died at once, making these people a little timid.
Rune will not indulge them.
Kill, kill, kill!
They killed with bloodshot eyes.
In a short while, only Rune and Chris were left on the ship.
The broken rum barrels and the blood on the deck mixed together, and the red color was inexplicably attractive.
Seeing that all the men he brought with him were dead, Chris did not panic at all, but just looked at Rune with curiosity.
"The intelligence about you was wrong. I thought that ten people and four guns could deal with you."
"I didn't expect you to enter the extraordinary."
"It seems that it is still a rare physical skill supernatural ability. The flintlock rifle poses little threat to you."
"And I just need a physical skill supernatural who has just advanced. The value of cooperation: extremely high!"
Chris continued: "But I also made a mistake. I always wanted to plan the most reasonable resource allocation at the lowest cost. I didn't calculate the situation that you suddenly entered the extraordinary. Even if the probability of this is less than one in a hundred thousand."
"What are you mumbling about there?!" Rune walked towards Chris with his fate in his hands.
Bang!
A large lead bullet was fired, and a crack appeared in Chris's barrier.
Chris smiled and said, "I'm thinking, should we make another deal?"
"Deal?" Rune pulled the trigger again without hesitation, and then loaded the bullet, "Do you think there is any trust between us?"
The barrier in front of Chris was completely broken, but his expression did not change at all.
"Trading does not necessarily require mutual trust, because there are some deals you have to make."
As he said this, he took out a gold coin from his arms, and the appearance of the Hydra on it was vivid.
The gold coin fell to the ground, rolled along the gap in the deck to Rune's feet, turned twice, and lay in a pool of blood.
Chris said, "This is your reward this time, Graves."
"I have re-evaluated your cooperation possibility and think we can continue to cooperate."
"As someone who has sworn a blood oath to Hydra, the importance of the Hydra gold coin to you is self-evident. Coincidentally, I have information about another Hydra gold coin."
"I will continue to employ you with this."
"I hope you can get to the Snake Cave within a week. There is something that you must do, and it will be very beneficial to you."
He waved his right hand gently, as if saying goodbye.
Rune frowned, and then fired a shot!
In Chris's slightly surprised eyes, the teleportation scroll was activated before the bullet arrived.
He narrowly avoided it.
Rune picked up the gold coin in the pool of blood, his eyes were a little uncertain.
The other party suddenly changed his face, he must have something to ask of him, and he also needed a second Hydra gold coin.
So he still had to go to the Snake Cave.
Not only did he have to go, but he also needed to cooperate with Chris temporarily.
Just treat the shot just now as an advance warning to him.
I hope he won't play tricks in the cooperation.
But at the same time, this does not mean that Rune has forgotten Chris's backstab today, it's just that the time for revenge has not come yet.
Sometimes people who work hard are not necessarily real men. Real men must be able to stretch and shrink, be long and short, and be hard and soft!
Now bear it for a while, and wait until you get what you need, and then you can be ruthless to the other party!
After he calmed down, two messages popped up in front of Rune.
Mission completed.
[Complete the mission (first Hydra gold coin), reward: (skill point 1) (adventure point: 2)]
[Accept the mission (Snake Cave-second gold coin)]
It's always happy to have gains.
Rune raised his eyebrows, skill points, um, good stuff!
Adventure points seem to be able to exchange for many top-quality props?
