104. Talk
Alger was always by Li Yi's side, just in case. When there is nothing to do, the explorers do their own thing, for example, the old blind man likes to fish, and he can guess what kind of fish he has caught, or a hawksbill turtle by the slight changes in the drift.
In addition to the cured meat, the meat stored on the ship is sauerkraut pickled herring, sardines, tuna meat, and the fresh fish caught by the old blind man is very popular, but the only ones who really dare to eat it are the captain Michelle, the man in the hat and those ordinary crew members, including Li Yi, who are afraid that the fish will be poisoned, and Li Yi has no water spirit or grass spirit that can heal the wounds.
In this way, the rest of the explorers fish and cook by themselves, and the aggrieved fishing skills refer to the blind Marcela, in fact, it is Li Yi, the man in the hat is not interested in fishing, he always likes to play his Rubik's Cube, and Captain Michelle has to consider the interests of the team and has no time to fish.
On the third day after going to sea, on an exceptionally quiet afternoon, Li Yi basked in the sun on the deck as usual, it was already winter, the sea breeze was wet and cold, and it was easy for people to suffer from arthritis, the old blind man and the lazy old man were hiding in the room to roast the fire, and the rest of the explorers, although they did not stop here, did not show up outside, unless they encountered any emergency.
The lynx fur robe is extremely warm, a cup of hot soup is like coal in a furnace, making the whole body warm, Li Yi squinted his eyes and watched the seascape, as far as the eye could see, the dark blue color extended to the sky, the seabirds swooped down from the sky with screams, and the arrows generally pierced into the sea, and when they surfaced to the sea, they held a big fish in their mouths, bringing white spray.
Michelle came over from behind and sat next to Li Yi, looking like she wanted to say something.
Li Yi glanced at him, although the other party was beautiful and moving, and had a different kind of charm, he was not interested in this kind of older girl, this kind of woman who would be old if she didn't marry.
"Can we talk? Your name is Carter, right? "Michelle looked very interested in him.
"Of course, honorable captain." Li Yi is known as Carter, and in this vast sea, the name of Dimante Dis has no effect.
Michelle's female self-esteem was slightly bruised, and Li Yi actually answered her cordial greeting in such a patterned tone, did she have any trouble with this mask man? But no matter how she looked, it didn't look like someone she had seen before, she thought
"You thought that every man would be more or less interested in you, and not so cold to you, did you?" Li Yi shrugged, "Actually, I did this on purpose to attract your attention, and I am also your admirer!" β
"Really?" Michelle's eyes widened, a little incredulous, and the other party actually admitted it to himself.
"Haha, you're so naΓ―ve!" Li Yi laughed, "Do you believe this?" Don't talk about these boring things, just say what your purpose is, you also know that an explorer like me has nothing but me, so it's better to ask directly. β
"Oh my God, you're such a weirdo, why do you want to say it so bluntly, it's so rude!" Michelle's eyes widened, reproaching.
"I'm just not used to the so-called reserve of the aristocracy."
"But mainstream society is like this, there are no exceptions, you are a smart person, you should know that all exceptions are excluded."
"That's true, but some people adhere to the conventions of civilized society, but I, but I firmly believe in the law of the jungle in primitive society, so I came to the sea, you don't have to argue with me about personal beliefs, it's pointless, we're just a temporary combination, as far as I'm concerned, extremely repulsive to the outside world, in today's world, apart from parents, is there anything else to trust? Besides, I don't have parents. Li Yi showed impatience coldly.
"You're so straightforward!" Michelle took a deep breath and gave up the idea of negotiating with Li Yi, and she asked in a more direct way.
"Carter is your pseudonym, right? I'm not interested in your identity, the purpose of your mask is either to offend a big force and not dare to be recognized, or you are ugly, or you may be a maverick, anyway, you have your secrets, but, let me tell you clearly, on my ship, you can't betray your teammates, you can't be passive, you can't kill each other, and in addition, you can do what you like, such as watching the sea view from the deck on a cold day. β
"Of course, it is a matter of principle not to betray your companions, and no one will like a traitor, I am not that kind of person." Li Yi promised not to harm his companions.
"Well, then I know what to expect, and I hope you can do it." Michelle ended the conversation, her face was solemn, the new companions were more difficult to deal with than the other, and I hoped that they would not calculate each other.
"Hmph, just you people, each with a ghost hidden in his heart, are you still my companion? Not worthy of it at all, that Blas, who wants to calculate me every day, and thinks I can't see it? Li Yi sneered, he was not a good person with a good heart.
The sea is as calm as ever, and Michelle said that this winter, the ship will go north to break the ice on the northern ice field, with the aim of catching a group of high-quality ice young spirits.
It was already winter, and the weather was getting colder and colder as we sailed north.
After talking to Michelle, Li Yi looked at the sea view boredly, his perception expanded to the surface of the sea, slowly extending beyond the range of five hundred meters of the limit, which was also a method of exercising perception, and suddenly, he noticed that a strange creature had broken into his perception domain, the size was huge, like a small mountain, with a strong gold-level spiritual power.
"Ho! It's a big guy! Li Yi sounded the alarm bell, and the crew came to the deck one after another, and even the two old men stood in the cold wind in thick leather coats.
"What's wrong?" They asked.
"To the southeast, a huge gold-level spirit, very large, probably a shark or a giant whale." Li Yi picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance, and under the vast sea, he saw something moving rapidly.
"Turn on the No. 2 system, chase to the southeast, let's get on the pontoon!" Michelle showed decisiveness and command skills at this time, the cabin opened an external gate, several gold-level pontoons were discharged, and the power of the White Rose was also converted to a state of spiritual power, and a large amount of water spiritual power poured out from the propulsion spirit tool at the bottom of the ship, and the sails were lowered, and with the help of spiritual power, they moved forward rapidly.
Li Yi and the man in the hat shared a boat, the pontoon is gold-level, the speed is very fast, his own pontoon is placed in the ring, of course he can't take it out, a space ring, but it is more eye-catching than the mutant spirit, once exposed, maybe even the red-level explorer will attack him.
The man in the hat was wearing a gray striped scarf, his beard was cleanly shaven, he looked handsome, and he seemed to be better than Blas in terms of maturity and stability, he always had a sincere smile on his face, which made people feel good, Li Yi had no ill will towards him, at this stage, they had a common enemy, that is, Blas.
"Hello, I'm Ramiro and I like card games, dominoes and bridge, etc., it's nice to meet you!" He held out his hand.
Li Yi would not refuse the kindness of others, he also stretched out his hand and shook it with him, "I like to be straightforward and remove those polite words, do you want to say that we have a common enemy, Blas." β
"Hehe, what you said is too direct, it's convenient to talk to smart people!" The man in the hat seemed to be happy and praised Li Yi.
"Blas wants to kill me, of course I won't let him go, and you, I don't understand why you should deal with him? Don't tell me you're rivals, I don't look like it. Li Yi drove the pontoon boat and followed behind the crowd, this was to prevent the wind from spreading their conversation to other people's earrings, which showed his thoughtfulness.
Blas was sitting on his Cassigin Crow at this time, leading the way to intercept the whale, which was a show of strength.
"It's my duty, I don't want to see such a good girl fall into the hands of this scum, we are companions, and the relationship is much deeper than you think, like brother and sister."
"It would be too bad if I refuted you and said that you were lying, I don't care about the bad things between you, I want to kill Blas openly, if you cooperate with me, you must follow my command, otherwise I might as well do it myself." Li Yi made this request.
"So what do you use to prove that you have the ability to calculate Blas? He is not as gentlemanly as he seems on the surface, a big family, is a bit of a nobleman who does not learn and does not know how to learn, but there is also the essence, which is the foundation of their continuation, it is no exaggeration to say that Blas is such a nobleman, although he has the bad problems of the nobles, but he is not bad at strong thinking ability and strength. It was normal for the man in the hat to say such a thing, after all, he had not tried Li Yi's conspiracy.
"How to prove it? This question is very unsuitable for your current situation, I see that you can't do anything about him, so you discussed with me, we are different, you need my help, but I don't need your help, in fact, you can also wait quietly for Blas's death, this matter is enough for me alone. Li Yi didn't take him seriously.
"It's you who underestimated Blas, and besides, I doubt that you can kill him alone, I really don't know if you are arrogant or really capable, forget it, if you want me to help, tell me, as long as it is not beyond the scope of my ability, I will not refuse." The man in the hat was a little displeased, thinking that Li Yi was too arrogant, but he still politely told Li Yi his opinion.
"Well, thank you." Li Yi sincerely thanked him that he needed a scapegoat to pay for Blas's death.
Conspiracy requires comprehensive consideration, Li Yi understands that Blas must know that the hat man is coming to him, and Blas will also look for his helpers among those explorers, promising all kinds of benefits to deal with him.
"I didn't expect to get into such big trouble as soon as I got to sea, but a peaceful life is not suitable for people like me." Li Yi smiled, Alger and Isabella also laughed heartily, and Felder saw that everyone was laughing, so he laughed too, and the voice was very loud.
"Moo-!" There was a loud roar from the water ahead, and the sea water rippled in fine crumbs under the vibration of the bass, and it seemed that Blas had intercepted his prey.
The pontoon continued to sprint forward, and a behemoth appeared before them, a whale-like water spirit, blue-black throughout, with an oval head, white folds at the jaw that extended to the abdomen, and a back covered with silver armor with neat bone spurs protruding from it, and a stream of water spewed out of the air holes on its back.
"It's a gold-level beginner-level blue-fin whale, its whale oil and whale beads are extremely valuable, and it is estimated that it can be worth a total of several thousand gold spirit crystals!" Li Yi calculated the volume of this water spirit, and when he joined, Michelle talked about the system of distribution according to work in the ship regulations. In other words, since he found it, Li Yi wanted to take an extra share of the wealth on this whale.
Michelle has a gold-level mid-level water spirit, the appearance is huge, covered with oily white hair, like an iceberg, he seems to have no neck, the fat belly is above the head, like a pear-shaped rice cake, the limbs are thick, the two fat soles of the feet are paddling in the sea water, the water is never submerged, and it is like walking on the ground in the sea. Li Yi recognized that this was a branch of the ancient "Titan Water Spirit" clan, but this thirty-meter-high giant beast was shorter in front of the blue-floin whale, and the gap between it was like that of an adult and a child, but his momentum completely suppressed the other party, with the arrogant aura of ancient recklessness, the powerful golden spirit pressed on the sea surface and impacted each other, swinging away wave after wave, stirring up monstrous waves.
The Kasigin Crow fell rapidly in the air, like a golden ripple, and suddenly swooped to the surface of the sea, the tips of its wings cut the waves, a white line was drawn on the surface of the sea, and then it flipped gracefully, and changed direction, cutting a scar on the whale's huge body.
The bluefin whale screamed, blood gushed out, and its body stiffened, and it swooped out of the sea, and fell heavily into the sea, when the Cassigin crow swooped down again, causing a cross wound on its body.
"This kind of senseless torture is completely unnecessary, an opponent like Blas is really uninteresting, and besides, I don't have any benefit in killing him, don't worry about it first, I must let him die and create wealth for me at the same time, let me think about what good ideas there are" Li Yi's mind flashed one plan after another, he not only wanted to get rid of the other party, but also used the other party's death to make his pockets bulge.
Michelle frowned, obviously uncomfortable with such an abusive behavior, and at her order, the Titan Water Spirit clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it the head of the bluefin whale, ending its life.
The White Rose lowered the crane and lifted the bluefin whale, and the man in the hat showed off his blade spirit - a large body, with a wide bone blade extending from his elbows, especially suitable for flat slashing, thick joints, covered by complex shock-absorbing joints, and very strong in combat, like a butcher. With a wielding of his bone blade, he dissected the whale, took out the amber whale beads and stored them in beeswax, then stored them in a freezer, and melted the whale oil by another fire spirit.
Whale oil is a good medicine for wounds, and whale beads contain a lot of water-based spiritual power, which is very much needed when impacting the shackles of the level.
"Say, 'Why are these bodies so large?' It's scary! Li Yi muttered and looked at Alger's thin body, although Felder was tall and big, he was very small compared to their spirits that were often dozens of meters tall.
"Hmph, the product of failed evolution," Alger explained, disdainfully, "Is the amount of spiritual power related to volume?" Of course not, the spirits in the spirits are the elements that make them up, and the structure of the spirits is different, so the spirits are also different, just as DNA determines the appearance and sex of a human being. The spirit born of a higher genetic spirit child has a magical structure, can store more spiritual power, and is also unique in the use of these spiritual powers, and the special spiritual power structure arrangement can make the embodiment of spiritual power more powerful, for example, the blade I condensed can cut through the shell or steel skin of ordinary gold-level spirits, but ordinary blade spirits do not have this ability, and a large part of them can't even condense the spiritual power blade, this is the difference, those large spirits are Lingzi's ability to store spiritual power is too weak, Therefore, in order to make up for the lack of spiritual power, the body was multiplied, and it became like that, the real ancient Titan water spirit is about the same size as Felder, and he is an invincible king at sea, and he can even tear the bottom of the sea to produce a tsunami, and several powerful Titans can flood the continent when they join forces. β
