This was really a weird sword, so much so that Ren Qi, who had been used to dealing with swords since childhood and almost ate and slept with them in his arms, couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw it.
It looks like a knife, but it feels like a sword. It looks like a peerless sword, but it also looks like a mixture of a few weird weapons copied from other comics.
This sword is more than one meter long. It is silver-white in color and has a cold light unique to metal. It has a sense of technology that does not belong to this era.
Its blade is about as wide as the palm of your hand, thin at the front and thick at the back. Under the sunlight, there is a vague shadow on the sword. It is obviously different in height and low, and it looks more like it was made by improvisation and polishing.
Yin Xiu's hand gently stroked the sword, and there was a faint mechanical roar from there. If you were close, you could even hear the faint sound of the chain operating.
"Is this a sword?" Ren Qi's eyes widened.
"The name of the sword is Chaofeng."
Yin Xiu turned the long sword, and amid the whistling wind, the sword reflected the faint light of fire.
"Good weapons, good swordsmanship!"
Ren Qi couldn't help but admire. With another shake of his hands, the two approaching tentacles were cut off again and fell into the sea, causing a splash of water.
“I didn’t expect that the sword Brother Xiong gave me would be used to chop an octopus for the first time.”
Yin Xiu grinned and looked at Ma Xiaoyu and Liu Banxian again.
Of the two of them, one was holding the compass and destiny book in his hand, constantly flipping through it and checking it.
The other one was throwing spells around, seeming to be setting up a barrier.
No one on the ship was idle either, running around giving orders, or mechanically filling the steam engine with coal without raising their heads.
"Five minutes, any questions?" Yin Xiu asked.
"No problem," Ren Qi said indifferently, "Although I don't know what you are going to do, I'm just afraid that in a few more five minutes, I will chop this Mr. Hong into fish sticks."
"I hope so!"
Yin Xiu didn't look back, and lightly patted the blade of the sword. Using his hand as a fulcrum, Chaofeng turned around, and the tentacle piercing his back was broken off.
This time it seemed that Mr. Hong was finally angered.
The sound of surging water sounded, and under the sea, continuous tentacles stretched upward, like red bamboo shoots growing out of the ground one after another.
In an instant, the remaining small boats were overturned. The Black Widow was at the center and suffered the most intense attacks, but there was no sign of being destroyed. The huge tentacles did not pierce the deck, and the Black Widow emerged from under everyone's feet. It emerged, but was blocked by the barrier.
But above their heads, this attack was unstoppable.
Red "heavy rain" poured down.
This time, Ren Qi finally made people see his sword clearly.
He pulled out the green and red long sword, and then a burst of rainbow-like light suddenly flashed, dazzling everyone.
Countless tentacles smashed neatly on the deck, looking like green onions cut by a chef in a hotel. Each section was of even length and neat.
Yin Xiu does not have a sword as fast as him. Although the [Master of Weapons] allows him to use every weapon as he pleases, in the end every kung fu competition still relies on personal talent.
But Yin Xiu didn't want to be quick either.
True Yang Life Fire!
Yin Xiu wiped his fingers on the sword, and Chaofeng itself seemed to be on fire, wrapped in a layer of brilliant flames.
"The dragon gives birth to nine sons. Those who like danger and hope are called Chaofeng.
Yin Xiu, the arm I originally made for you was based on the piles of moldy classics left by my father that were piled in the utility room. I finally transformed it successfully so that it can cooperate with various spells to create new ones. The tricks come.
After changing it to a sword in the past two days, I found that this characteristic has become more and more obvious. Maybe this will be the most suitable weapon for you.
But it has a variety of uses. Maybe you need to use it for a while to figure it out, but no matter what, it will definitely help you, because this is my hard work, and I have this confidence. ”
Nahanao said so in the letter.
The true Yang life fire attached to the mocking wind made the blade not only sharper, but even when it was chopping, the flames could extend with the sword wind, and the attack range could reach several meters away.
Yin Xiu poured water on Mo Feng Wu, and the tornado formed by the flames centered on him, sweeping all the tentacles past, giving off bursts of the smell of burning protein.
But even though both of them had used their energy and authority to chop melons and vegetables, tentacles continued to fall from the sky. After a while, the tentacles were piled up in a layer, covering their ankles.
The feet of several people on the deck were covered in thick mucus, which made them feel disgusting and awkward, making it difficult to move.
During this period, Sea Dog had been holding on to the steering wheel tightly, and several times those sticky hands brushed against his back and ears, causing pain but also leaving behind unpleasant mucus, which made him feel numb in his heart.
And the waves crashing around him from time to time made him feel cold and trembling all over.
Other sailors can still avoid it, or use the shovel in their hands to resist, but the sea dog can't leave here for even half a step, and he can't even let go of his hand for a while.
Because in the huge waves set off by Master Hong, the Black Widow's sailing direction was changing almost every minute, and it was deviating from its course all the time.
Relying on charts and years of experience, the sea dog struggled to adjust and control the direction of the ship.
At this moment, he felt that the white clouds and the sun in the sky were completely some kind of illusion, some kind of illusion that only appeared in extremely desperate storms.
"Damn it! Sure enough, if these Taoist priests and goddesses pay too much, nothing good will happen! I won't take on such weird jobs in the future, no matter how much money I pay!!"
Roaring like this at the top of his lungs, the sea dog was about to have a nervous breakdown when a vague black spot finally appeared in his sight in the southeast.
When they tried to open their eyes wide and realized that it was indeed the "land" they were looking for, not a bird or something else, the sea dog's voice already had a cry.
"Emperor! Southeast! Land!"
"Okay!"
Yin Xiu laughed, broke free from the restraints at his feet, and rushed in the direction of Ma Xiaoyu.
Although he didn't understand the reason for the laughter, Ren Qi couldn't help but cheer up. With a move of his shoulders, he unsheathed the third long white sword and cut off several tentacles that were stabbing Yin Xiu's back.
When Ma Xiaoyu saw him running towards him, she bit her finger without hesitation and used the blood from her fingertips to write on the scarecrow. Finally, after writing the birth date, she injected a burst of purple energy into the scarecrow, which made the scarecrow tremble and seemed to be alive. .
The moment she nailed a silver needle into the scarecrow, Yin Xiu took the scarecrow.
The stars have changed!
Everyone felt their eyes go dark, and then everything returned to calm. There were no more waves on the sea, nor red tentacles like rain, and the sea was calm.
On the deck, Yin Xiu and Ren Qi also disappeared without a trace.
……
"Why me?"
Ren Qi stared coldly at Yin Xiu, who was sitting on the side with a pale face and sweating profusely.
Using Star Shift at such a long distance and taking two "people" with him obviously exhausted Yin Xiu's mental energy and almost caused him to faint. Of course, Star Shift cannot be used on monsters, especially giant monsters like Mr. Hong who can hardly be seen but already make people think they are huge monsters.
But Yin Xiu took a trick and asked Liu Banxian and Ma Xiaoyu to temporarily change its fate, making Master Hong a "human", so they could use the Dou Zhuan Xing Shift to transfer it over.
As for why Ren Qi is here, it's naturally because Yin Xiu also caught him at the last moment of the Star Shift.
"It wasn't intentional, I didn't include you in the plan beforehand."
Yin Xiu raised his hand and made an apologetic gesture, "But if I don't bring you here, if I die here, Liu Banxian and Ma Xiaoyu may not go to the north again, and you are determined to go." Outside the customs, they can’t beat you.”
"So, in order to prevent them from having an accident, you pulled me over to be your back-up? Let me go on the road with you?"
Ren Qi sighed, "I thought I didn't look so hateful."
"You are not that hateful," Yin Xiuye sighed, "But you are terrible."
"Whether you are afraid of me or not, I don't know, but Mr. Hong really doesn't seem to be afraid of me."
Ren Qi looked up and saw that the huge octopus monster was already standing on the island like a hill, crushing many trees.
Just lying like this, it is five or six stories high. How big is it?
"Have you ever been to Kowloon Walled City? I think this octopus is as big as Kowloon Walled City just lying down, or it can be said to be a living, moving Kowloon Walled City."
As Yin Xiu spoke, he couldn't help but think of the thousand-year-old tree demon that he met in the Infernal World before, with intricate roots and boundless size.
"I've been there once or twice, when I was looking for something to eat." Ren Qi said coldly.
"Then you quit now?"
Yin Xiu made a gesture of holding a pipe.
"How do you do it so skillfully? Have you ever done it before?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Yin Xiu shook his head repeatedly, "I saw this done to others when I was fighting black boxing in Kowloon Walled City. Those who do this will not end well."
"What?" Ren Qi glanced at him, "Are you cursing me or laughing at me?"
"No, it's just a casual question. If you don't want to say anything, just pretend I didn't ask." Yin Xiu spread her hands.
"It's just like drinking, it's just a way to anesthetize yourself. I'm not addicted, and I can't do it without it. Do you believe it?"
"I believe it!" Yin Xiu's eyes were sincere, "Your sword did not hesitate, it was very fast and clean. People like you will not have any weaknesses."
"You think too much of me!"
Ren Qi turned around awkwardly, seeming a little angry.
As the two of them talked, the huge red octopus gradually looked like a deflated balloon. The skin began to appear damaged and fall off, like a wall that had not been taken care of for a long time, with mottled cracks everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, the two heard the sound of something breaking, and the scholar walked out of Master Hong's body.
Like a newborn lamb, he was covered in mucus.
Yin Xiu originally thought he was not dead, but when she saw his appearance, she was suddenly not sure whether Xiucai was still alive.
I saw that the scholar, who originally had a pretty face, now looked like half of his face was covered with moving red worms. One eye was blood red, and the other eye was glowing with a white light like a dead fish.
What's even worse is that he was originally a living person, but now he looks like a black person in Yin Xiu's eyes.
All this is enough to show that the scholar is possessed by Mr. Hong, or that he is actually Mr. Hong, but he has been pretending to be a human.
The scholar took a few steps forward. The mucus on his body was blown dry by the wind, and the half of his face that had been soaked in water for too long became increasingly pale.
He opened his mouth wide, and a long tongue with thorns stuck out. After sticking out half a meter, the top of the tongue turned out to be another mouth. When it opened, it was full of sharp teeth, with mucus dripping out.
"What's your name?"
Sharp, hoarse, and low, like the sound of a knife scratching on glass, itching the eardrums of Yin Xiu and Ren Qi.
Yin Xiu saw the mouth facing him, probably asking him something, but he didn't answer.
"What's your name?"
The mouth asked again, this time it seemed a little impatient, and red mucus spurted out.
"If you do not want to change your name, please do not change your surname. Ren Qi." Yin Xiu said in a deep voice.
Ren Qi suddenly frowned and glanced at Yin Xiu, but still refrained from speaking.
"Ren Qi?"
The scholar tilted his neck to one side and said, "While we were at sea, I thought I heard someone calling such a name. It seems you didn't lie to me. Then I'll ask you once, why didn't you answer me?"
Yin Xiu still smiled and did not answer.
"I know, you are afraid that if you tell me your name, you will be punished by me and be killed with my words, right? After all, this is a common method used by evil spirits like us."
Hearing this, Ren Qi frowned even more tightly, raised his hand slightly to Yin Xiu, and silently expressed his dissatisfaction.
Yin Xiu shook his head and signaled him to calm down for a while.
Then he turned to Xiucai and said, "How should I call you, Xiucai, or Master Hong?"
"It's whatever."
The scholar chuckled, "If you hadn't used that great magical power to bring me to the ground, I'm afraid no one would have had the opportunity to see my true form. What difference does it make if they regarded me as a scholar or identified Master Hong? < br>
On weekdays, I hide under the sea. The scholar is my eyes to see the outside world, my mouth to speak to the outside world, and my ears to listen to the news. As for me, I keep him safe.
It's a pity that he was too bad, and he was killed by you in just one round and drowned. ”
"That's it."
Yin Xiu nodded, "You are not a scholar, you are Mr. Hong, that huge octopus monster. Why, I killed your microphone. Did it make you sad?"
Mr. Hong shook his head from side to side with his neck stiff, making a weird sound of his joints cracking, and his tongue swung and swirled as he turned.
"It doesn't matter, I have a better choice.
For a pirate like him, if I form an alliance with him, he can only stay in the sea and eat those fish, shrimps and crabs for the rest of his life.
But if it were you, and you had that great magical power of teleportation, I would no longer have any geographical limitations. You would become my guiding light and the blue bird that leads the way. ”
"Another lunatic who wants to go to Kunlun." Yin Xiu muttered.
Seemingly not hearing what Yin Xiu said, Mr. Hong raised a hand stiffly and shouted at Yin Xiu: "Ren Qi, give your soul!"
Ren Qi's brows were tangled together. (End of chapter)
