Chapter 252 Emperor Xin's Fighting Power
Another half month passed, and in the evening, there was lightning, thunder, and wind and rain.
The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, heavy rain poured down, and ear-splitting lightning rang out from time to time, like ghosts dancing in the air. The bright light created by the lightning illuminated the faces of everyone on board.
The wind roared, the sound was like the roar of wild beasts, and it continued, and the hurricane rolled up the waves, and the waves were higher than the hull of the ship.
The hull of the boat was shaking violently under the force of the waves, and the people on the boat were unable to stand firm at all, as if the boat was about to be overturned by the huge waves at any time, and everyone looked nervous.
The sailors on the ship quickly got busy and lowered all the sails as quickly as possible, so that the shaking of the ship's hull was reduced a lot.
"Damn it! What the hell kind of weather is this? Such a strong wind blowing on the sea is really deadly!" Xiong Dali couldn't help but cursed.
"Normally, the weather at sea is changeable. We are almost sailing into the sea of death. Once we reach the sea of death, you will find that this weather is just drizzle, and there are more harsh environments waiting for us."
Leng Yan looked at the lightning and thunder sky and said solemnly.
"Everyone, be careful, don't fall off the boat..." Nie Qingcheng warned loudly.
At this moment, a sea beast with blue scales climbed onto the deck, spit out its long tongue and charged at the loudest bear at an extremely fast speed.
But as a flash of lightning flashed, the deck was as bright as day, and Xiong Dali immediately spotted the thing that climbed onto the deck and prepared to sneak up on him.
He quickly pulled out a big knife from his storage bag, and with quick eyes and quick hands, he cut the attacking sea beast in half with one knife. A pool of blood instantly appeared on the deck, which was quickly washed away by the rain.
"Who dares to attack your uncle! You are seeking death!" Xiong Dali cursed angrily.
But after Nie Qingcheng saw the two-half sea beast, his expression quickly changed and he hurriedly shouted: "This is the blue-scaled beast! Everyone, be careful! This thing lives in groups!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a green-scaled beast crazily climbed onto the ship from both sides of the ship, and then launched an attack on the people on the ship.
But fortunately, Nie Qingcheng reminded him in time. All the crew members on the ship were already ready for battle. They fought with the invading sea beasts, and the deck instantly became chaotic.
"What's going on! Something's coming up!"
Hearing the fierce fighting outside, Long Xuan finally stopped trying. He quickly ran out of the cabin and took out the famous knife that had not been used. Along the way, green-scaled beasts fell into a pool of blood.
Although the green scale beast is covered in scale armor, it cannot withstand the sharpness of the famous sword.
Seeing that the green-scaled beasts were numerous in number but not very powerful in combat, Long Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.
This group of blue-scaled beasts should not pose much danger to the crew.
The crew members on the Shenlong were all carefully selected by him. They were basically all at the peak of their marrow cleansing, and their combat prowess was not weak.
But after all, it was dark, the line of sight was unclear, and the ship was shaking violently and it was difficult to stand still. In such a harsh environment, if the fight lasted for a long time, the crew might also suffer casualties.
So Long Xuan hurriedly shouted: "First officer! Do you want to open a barrier to keep out all the green-scaled beasts?"
Hearing the sound, Nie Qingcheng's expression changed and he hurriedly shouted: "Don't!"
"When these things see people, they will run directly onto the deck to attack them. If they cannot attack people, they will directly attack the bottom and hull of the ship."
"No matter what material the boat bottom is made of, it is durable. Try not to be damaged by this thing! Repairing the bottom of the boat at sea is very troublesome!"
"And the soles of this thing's feet are very strong and can be firmly grasped on the hull of the boat, making it difficult to shake off."
"Once you encounter a blue-scaled beast, the best way is to kill them all and don't give them a chance to destroy the bottom of the ship!"
Long Xuan would never command a layman to an expert. This Nie Qingcheng had been a captain and had rich experience at sea. What she said was most likely right, so Long Xuan just let it go.
"Okay! Everyone, work hard and kill everything on board. After we successfully rush out, I'll treat everyone to a drink!"
Upon hearing this, all the crew members' eyes lit up and their throats couldn't help but groan.
The captain's wine was no ordinary wine, it was simply a fairy wine on earth, the intensity of which they had never seen in their lives.
If it were any other wine, they would probably have no reaction at all. If it was the captain's wine, it would be enough to excite everyone.
So because of the captain's words, everyone's eyes shone, their morale soared, and their combat effectiveness increased by three points out of thin air. The green-scaled beasts they killed retreated steadily, and patches of green-scaled beasts fell off the deck.
Long Xuan also took the opportunity to observe the combat effectiveness of the crew at this time.
The one with the strongest combat power is Yang Zhan. After all, he was once a strong man in the Spiritual Sea stage. Even if his realm has fallen, how can his combat power be that of a normal Gu cultivator in the Marrow Cleansing stage?
The rich combat experience alone is not comparable to ordinary Gu cultivation in the marrow cleansing stage.
Looking at his size, you can tell that Yang Zhan's most outstanding ability is his melee combat ability. This man's eyes are red and seem to have a pair of parasitic pupil Gu. Under his eyes, all the green-scaled beasts that attack him will hit him. He attacked sideways and was easily killed by Yang Zhan.
Of all the green-scaled beasts that attacked him, no matter how big or small, none could withstand a single move. This man's combat power was simply terrifying, and his origins must be extraordinary.
Long Xuan glanced at this person with a solemn expression.
You must know that the same kind of Gu insects repel each other, and only one Gu insect of the same kind can be blood-contracted. However, this Yang Zhan actually has a same kind of pupil Gu in his left eye and right eye. How can this not frighten him?
I really don't know how he suppressed the pair of pupil Gu. It's a crazy idea to make a blood contract with two pupil Gu of the same kind at the same time.
However, once it succeeds, the benefits will definitely be great. The effect of the superposition of the two pupil Gu is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.
The illusion effect will definitely change greatly due to the superposition, which will make Yang Zhan's combat power soar.
After Long Xuan was shocked, he looked at the second person on the boat again. This second person was Di Xin.
It can't be said that she is the second person. Her real combat power may not be lower than Yang Zhan. After all, she often seeks death but does not die. She can escape calmly after provoking all the major forces. It is enough to show that her combat power is not simple.
But this Di Xin is obviously hiding his weakness at this time, resulting in the number of green scale beasts killed is not as good as Yang Zhan.
But even so, Di Xin's performance on the boat is already very conspicuous.
I saw more than ten arms behind her, each of which can throw lightning, wind blades, fireballs and other attacks. The dense attacks hit the herd, and the green scale beasts died in groups.
At this moment, she was like a mobile artillery platform. Wherever she passed, the green-scaled beasts were blown into pieces.
Don't think that she is very powerful at this moment. Long Xuan is sure that she is definitely hiding her weakness and has only used less than 10% of her strength.
The arms that appeared behind her could not be more than ten. That move was clearly the Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara. If nothing unexpected happened, she could appear thousands of arms behind her. In the future, it is possible that she could appear tens of thousands of arms.
Long Xuan's scalp tingled. If each of the thousands of arms launched an attack, what would that be like? Who could withstand such an attack?
At this moment, he finally understood why Emperor Xin claimed that she could build ships faster than all the major shipbuilding factories.
Because she has enough hands, and she can obviously do many things at the same time.
Not only is she fast at building ships, she is much faster at building anything, and when fighting with others, she can use more hands to fight fewer hands. Who can beat her? This is already invincible.
Long Xuan now had a deep understanding of the combat power of this old friend, and he couldn't help but show a solemn look.
After that, the combat power second only to these two people was the crew members who held important positions on the ship.
Even Shangguan Wuwo, the cook, and the old ship doctor Shi Jiefu were very good at fighting, and they were all the best in the same level.
The strength of these crew members who held important positions was on par with each other, and it was hard to tell who was stronger and who was weaker in a short time.
Even Miao Peipei, the seemingly weak female Gu cultivator, was not inferior to the other male Gu cultivators in combat power.
The third tier of combat power was the remaining ordinary sailors. Although they were carefully selected and had good combat power, they were obviously much weaker than those crew members who held important positions.
At this time, a careless sailor had been injured by the attack of the green-scaled beast, but fortunately he was rescued by the other crew members, so it was not a big problem.
As for the fourth tier of combat power, it was that Mo Dashao and the two followers beside him.
The two followers may be good at land warfare, but they seem to have a fear of the deep sea at sea. Before the green-scaled beast came on board, they were already frightened by the big waves outside the boat, unable to walk, and their faces were horrible.
After the green-scaled beast came on board, they had no fighting power left.
On the contrary, in such an extremely harsh environment, Young Master Mo's expression was quite excited. He shouted excitedly in the storm, as if he hoped that the storm would come more violently. The more dangerous it was, the more excited he was.
Young Master Mo must have fighting power, with a body of top-quality Gu worms. A person's financial resources are completely positively correlated with the quality of Gu worms.
But it seems that he has been growing up in a caring environment, and his combat experience is really terrible. After seeing the green-scaled beast, he rushed up excitedly, and then his thigh was bitten soon, becoming the first injured crew member.
However, Long Xuan believes that as long as he accumulates combat experience, with his top-quality Gu worms, his combat power should be able to squeeze into the top ten on the ship.
But his current combat power can only be temporarily ranked fourth.
And his two followers, after this incident is over, he must throw the twins into the deep sea to overcome their fear of the sea. Once these two people are no longer afraid of the sea, their combat power must be very strong, and they may even have the skills of joint attack.
If these two people are really weak in combat power, how can they be sent to protect this young master Mo?
The battle lasted until late at night. When the rain in the sky was less, the wind was less, and the thunder stopped, the green scale beast finally stopped attacking, slowly retreated from the deck, and jumped into the water like a tide.
After the green scale beast walked away, a group of crew members sat limply on the deck, gasping for breath, and they didn't know whether it was rain or sweat on their bodies. Obviously, everyone was exhausted.
Although there were many injured on the ship, fortunately there was no loss of personnel.
"Hahaha... It's so refreshing! I haven't had such a refreshing battle in a long time!"
"Captain! Remember your wine! We managed to survive!" Qiu Tiandao laughed loudly. He didn't forget the captain's previous promise.
There was also laughter in other directions.
Long Xuan glanced at the crowd and laughed: "Don't worry! There is plenty of wine! But everyone is exhausted tonight, and many are injured, so take a rest first!"
"Everyone, have a good sleep, and when you have enough energy, we will drink to your heart's content at noon tomorrow! Wine is worthless to me! There is plenty!"
After the words fell, cheers rang out on the ship.
Following Long Xuan's order, all the crew members on the ship finally went back to their respective bedrooms to rest.
The injured crew member was helped into the first floor and slowly treated by veteran crew member Shi Jiefu. He could only stay up all night.
Long Xuan, who was keeping vigil tonight, arranged for his avatar to take charge, and it was a rare occasion for him to take on the important task of keeping vigil.
