Volume 6 Chapter 6: Water Palace Exploration (3)
About half an hour after I killed the unfortunate tiger shark, the fleet arrived at its destination.
After a series of procedures such as collecting oars, retracting sails and dropping anchor, the ship stopped. The wind here is stronger than in the port, and the hull is swaying slightly, but the overall situation is good. According to Lao Zhang, this area is not as good as the coastal areas, and severe sea conditions such as strong winds and waves may occasionally occur.
Xiao Yi and the others finally finished their card game and chattered all the way to the command cabin. Alas, since getting married, Xiao Yi has not paid much attention to gang affairs. According to her, "Why should we polite to each other? You should give more ideas on how Tianshui Pavilion should be operated and developed. Anyway, I know you are ambitious and the future war will inevitably involve Tianshui Pavilion... Hee, war is a man's business. I just want to have fun!"
Therefore, in addition to managing the Jinglei League and the Tianxia Alliance, I also have to devote my energy to planning the development of Tianshui Pavilion. After all, the coast is also an important stronghold, and naval battles are bound to be inevitable in the future.
Fortunately, Xiao Yi didn't completely leave them alone, and Lao Zhang is a rare talent. I only need to tell them the planning ideas, and they can take care of the specific matters in an orderly manner. Otherwise, I would have to worry about everything and would have been exhausted to the point of vomiting blood.
The four beauties approached, each with a different expression. Wanxing was smug, Daqiao smiled without saying a word, Xiaoqiao looked frustrated, and Xiaoyi made a helpless expression to me, then took my arm and said in a sweet voice: "Hubby, I lost, you must help me, otherwise I may not be able to come back."
"Hmm? What are you betting on?"
"Nothing, we can't possibly bet, it's just that we both happen to be free next week and have agreed to go out together, but we can't agree on where to go, so we have to use this method to decide the winner. Wanxing and Daqiao are the winners, they both want to go to Milan, it happens to be Fashion Week, there are many new clothes to be launched. And the loser is responsible for carrying the bag, if you don't help me, I think... I will be crushed to death!"
“Bang!” I fell backwards, foaming at the mouth, and my limbs twitching.
Milan, Fashion Week, new clothing, handbags, all of these words are extremely lethal to men. As long as they are even slightly related to these words, it means that a man will suffer incomparable destruction from spirit to body, from money to energy. The only thing more terrible than this is when there are more than one beautiful women who need to accompany you...
I haven't recovered from this huge fear yet, Xiao Yi has already urged me in my ear: "What are you still standing there for? It's time to get off the ship. We have to hurry up, the fleet has to rush back to transport the next batch of people!"
Oh, let's die! I followed Xiao Yi out of the cabin, thinking in my heart, since we confirmed our relationship, although I have deep feelings for Xiao Yi, most of my energy is spent on how to develop and expand the Jinglei League, and I rarely have time to accompany her. How can other couples spend every day together under the moonlight? Because of my experience in such a relationship, I don't pay much attention to the so-called romance, but Xiao Yi is still my first love! What girl doesn't like to be pampered and coaxed by her boyfriend? It's just that Xiao Yi understands my ambition to make a career in fantasy, so she silently tolerates me, but I owe her a lot, and I can take this opportunity to accompany her well and make up for it.
After I figured it out, I put the matter behind me, strode to the side of the ship, jumped off, and drew a graceful arc... Of course, I didn't want to jump into the sea to commit suicide, but there were no small islands or reefs near the Shuifu Sea area. If I wanted to get off the boat, I had to jump into the sea.
The moment I entered the water, I felt a little cool around me. Then the water-repellent beads I carried started to work, a faint glow shone out, and the seawater was forced half a foot away, as if a transparent cover was covering me. I could freely float up and down, and move left and right as I wished, which was very convenient. However, since I didn't need to move my feet, the movement mode was a little different from that on land. I lacked experience and hadn't gotten used to it yet, so my movements seemed very clumsy.
A burst of cheerful laughter came from Wanxing and others who had entered the water before me. Seeing me waving my hands and shaking my feet, not knowing what to do, they couldn't help laughing. What was even more excessive was that, as if they were deliberately trying to irritate me, they shuttled back and forth in front of , showing off their superb underwater skills, like four mermaids.
Hey, these girls, don't you know that people who have comprehended the realm of martial arts can control themselves very precisely, and every move can be accurate to the millimeter. I am moving my hands and feet now just to master the various characteristics of underwater action. As long as I grasp the characteristics of speed, resistance, etc., I dare say that my underwater skills are ten times better than those of ordinary players who have been fighting on the sea for a long time!
Xiao Qiao naturally understood this principle, but seeing that I seemed to be in trouble, she would definitely not help me explain. It was Xiao Yi who cared about me. She came up to me slowly, took my arm, and wanted to give me some advice.
I laughed and said, "Honey, don't worry. Don't you know your husband is a genius? Underwater Kung Fu is just a small skill. It's no problem for me!"
"Humph, it's not a problem yet, so why are you so busy? You're not a seaside player, and it's not embarrassing not to swim. Just listen to me and let me teach you!"
I grabbed Xiao Yi's slender waist, kissed her on the face and said, "Don't worry, I've got it done. If you don't believe me, I'll kill two monsters for you to see!"
Xiao Yi said with some doubt: "Husband, don't be so stubborn! Underwater and on land are two different things. It takes time to adapt! If it weren't for the fact that there is no difference between the water palace and the land, I wouldn't let you come this time. This sea area is not a safe place. We have to wait for more than three hours before we can enter the water palace. If you die here, it will be really embarrassing. We have to take a boat to rush here. Isn't it troublesome?"
"Haha, just wait and see." I let go of Xiao Yi and leaned over to dive into the deep.
Xiao Yi knew that I had a strong sense of self-esteem. After thinking for a while, he decided that with my equipment, it would be unlikely for ordinary monsters to kill me instantly. At the very least, he could use the two protective functions of the wedding ring to save his life. So he had no choice but to follow me and catch up.
Under the sea, there is indeed a different scenery. The surrounding area is blue water, and groups of colorful fish are swimming around. These small fish are also monsters, but their level is equivalent to the slime mother outside the novice village, but they are a thousand times more beautiful. I have no interest in these small fish. Fortunately, they are not active attacking monsters, so they are at peace with each other. I continue to swim down, searching for targets worthy of my attack.
A jellyfish appeared in my sight, and I took a "gaze" photo of it. Its name: Moon Jellyfish; Level: 75.
Well, you are barely qualified to take my blow...
To be honest, this jellyfish is really beautiful, like an umbrella flower quietly blooming in the sea. It should be transparent and colorless, but it appears light blue under the rendering of sea water. Against the backdrop of the deep blue ocean, coupled with the faint white light it emits, one glance at it makes people feel like they are trapped in a quiet and deep dream.
If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't have the heart to attack this moon jellyfish and break this dream. Unfortunately, my name is Bloody Sky, and I've always been a fan of violent aesthetics in games. As long as it's a monster, no matter whether it's beautiful or ugly, I'll give you experience points!
A golden light flashed, cutting the sea water and shattering this mysterious dream. With just one cut, the beautiful moon jellyfish was cut into seven or eight pieces, like torn pieces of cloth, floating away in pieces.
Xiao Yi, who witnessed this knife attack, was a little surprised. She could see that my strength had improved again.
I turned around with a smug smile and continued moving forward. After a moment, a small group of silver sharks appeared in front of me. There was nothing to say, just kill them!
The swarms of chimaeras that were a headache for a single player posed no threat to me. Xiao Yi was relieved after just a moment's look. The underwater environment did not cause me any discomfort, and my agility was even better than hers. As my wife, although she could not comprehend the realm of martial arts, she often listened to my explanations of the wonders, and naturally soon realized why I mastered the skills of underwater combat so quickly, but...
I was swinging my sword to kill when I suddenly felt something strange and instinctively dodged to the side. A ball of colorful light passed by me. Although I was not hit head-on, I was hit on the back. However, my armor was the dark gold equipment "Seven Glory", and it was strengthened with talismans and gems. The defense was not inferior to the holy spirit equipment. This blow only caused minor injuries and was not a problem.
But this attack came strangely. As a warrior, I can grasp all the movements around me. I had already noticed that there was no silver shark behind me, so how could there be such a sudden attack?
I looked closely and suddenly realized that the colorful light was actually a colorful angelfish. I only needed to take a look to know that its name was a mutant angelfish. There was a large group of such colorful fish behind me. These little guys were of very low level and would not take the initiative to attack, so I didn't pay attention to them. Although this mutant angelfish looked exactly like them, it was a powerful guy at level 80. Obviously, its AI was not low either. It knew how to use the characteristics of its appearance to blend into the group of small fish and launch a sneak attack. Although I noticed it the moment it launched, the distance was too close, and I was inevitably hit with my skills.
But now that it had been exposed, it posed no threat to me anymore. I casually swung my knife a few times and cut the remaining chimaeras and the cunning angelfish into sashimi.
Xiao Yi came forward with a smile and said, "Husband, how is it? Do you know the dangers in the ocean? You are lucky that there is only one angelfish here. Sometimes these guys appear in groups, even up to thousands. If you encounter such a situation, you will not be able to handle it, right?"
I thought about it, and it is true. Due to their small size, a group of colorful fish often consists of tens of thousands of them. If there are thousands of mutant colorful fish hidden among them, it will be difficult for me to distinguish them one by one. Moreover, although the attack power of a single one is nothing to me, if the number is too large, I will have no choice but to flee.
In fact, let alone thousands of them, only a person like me with abnormal skills and equipment would not take this one thing seriously. If an ordinary player encounters it, it would be very troublesome to solve it!
I nodded and said, "Well, I'll be careful. I'm not familiar with the environment here. Honey, how about you take me to a place with more high-level monsters and we level up together?"
Xiao Yi smiled sweetly, took my hand, turned a corner and swam to another sea area.
Soon we came to a sea area where manta rays were active. These monsters were level 90, not as powerful as level 100 monsters, but much higher than the average level of Xiao Yi and me. There were also many of them, so they were just right for us to use to earn experience points. Their only drawback was that they were a little ugly.
Underwater, fire magic has no effect, but Xiao Yi switched to electricity and water magic, which was very powerful. With a wave of his wand, large groups of manta rays were either frozen or paralyzed. I took the opportunity to rush forward and effortlessly harvested piles of experience with Tiger Soul.
Although it was the first time for us to cooperate underwater, Xiao Yi and I still had a great understanding of each other. Seeing her floating in the sea water with her clothes fluttering, she looked like a fairy in the water, which was even more charming.
For us at this moment, the experience level is not important. We are enjoying the feeling of fighting side by side with our lover and feeling the warmth from each other.
Unfortunately, this wonderful time was interrupted not long after.
Xiao Yi received an internal call from the gang, and then her beautiful brows frowned.
I noticed the change in her expression immediately, but I couldn't hear the gang calls from Tianshui Pavilion, so I didn't know what happened, but it definitely couldn't be a good thing.
I swung my sword and struck out with an ocean slash. The water pressure caused by the super fast speed of the sword formed a shock wave, which cut a gap in the school of manta rays surrounding me. I rushed out and swam quickly towards Xiao Yi, asking, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Yi waved his hand and froze the world. A large area of seawater behind me was frozen into a block of ice. All the manta rays chasing after me were frozen in it, blocking the pursuers for me. He responded, "There's a little trouble. An uninvited guest has come to disturb us. Let's go and take a look."
The area where Xiao Yi and I were leveling was very close to the seabed . In the sea, generally, the deeper you go, the higher the level of the monsters. For those Tianshui Pavilion players, although it is not difficult to kill monsters at the bottom of the sea after forming a large group, the efficiency of leveling with monsters that are too high is too low. Therefore, most people are leveling in water layers that are shallower than us, and Xiao Yi took me upstream.
