Chapter 246 Helping with Negotiations
The item Wang Zhifan took out from his personal space was the Excellent Holy Grail of Filth. When he found that the sea monster he controlled had no intelligence, he decided to use this prop to give it Give it a good makeover.
I saw him holding the Holy Grail, and without any delay he began to curse the frozen sea monster in front of him, intending to corrupt it into a monster under his control, and then use it to carry out subsequent work.
The process of casting the curse was not complicated, and since the target of the curse was right in front of him, the curse went smoothly. The Holy Grail locked onto the sea monster in an instant and started the process of corruption.
The only problem is that the process of corruption is so slow that Wang Zhifan is a little speechless. He stares at the sea monster in front of him for a while and it has not changed significantly, so he decided not to waste time here anymore. Let this big hapless guy enjoy his time where he is.
"The last time I used the Holy Grail to curse the gangster, it seemed that the corruption was completed in a second. This time, it seems that the curse will not be successful in a few hours. It may even take a day... I'd better hurry up first."
Wang Zhifan thought that this stupid sea monster should not be able to lift the curse on its own. It would not have much impact if it turned into a monster under his control later. He quickly ordered the crew of the Dogfish to control it and set off again to the storm. ocean.
These NPCs on the ship just saw the mysterious power of Wang Zhifan subduing a huge sea monster in the blink of an eye. They were already in awe of him and their expressions became even more reverent. They all got busy when they heard what he said. , dare not slack off at all.
In this way, the crisis when the Dogfish encountered a sea monster was resolved so easily, and they had a relatively peaceful journey for several days.
A few days later, the Dogfish had entered the scope of the Sea of Storms, and Wang Zhifan officially began the critical stage of searching for Forbidden Fruit Island.
Huge waves and constant storms were Wang Zhifan's biggest impression of the Stormy Sea in recent days, but these obstacles in the natural environment did not bother him much. After all, his ship had a solid structure and had been strengthened by craftsmen. There is no shortage of Poseidon's blessings. Even though it is shaking violently in this stormy sea, nothing will happen easily. What really makes him unhappy is that finding the Forbidden Fruit Island is too difficult, and it is no different from finding a needle in a haystack in a literal sense.
"What a rip-off... what kind of rubbish dungeon mission is this? If I were asked to find an island in such a big sea, would I be able to find it? Even a fish might not be able to find an island in this sea! "
At this moment, Wang Zhifan was furious in the captain's room that was shaking violently. For the first time, he felt angry about the task set in the dungeon, because this task was too difficult and was completely deliberately disgusting the players' troubles. Task.
“This bullshit sea monster is also useless. It’s so big and has no eyesight. I can’t control it to communicate with other sea creatures. It can’t help me much at all!”
He then complained about the one he had corrupted with the filthy Holy Grail. The big sea monster, that guy had completed its corruption a few days ago and became a monster under his control. He also spent a lot of time controlling it and came to this stormy sea to help find the Forbidden Fruit Island, but the effect was not ideal. I had a lot of energy but couldn't find even a single clue about the Forbidden Fruit Island.
"Calm down...calm down...there should be a way..."
After his mentality exploded, Wang Zhifan quickly realized that he was in a bad emotional state, and he forced himself to sink on the ship that was rocking like a seesaw. Thinking.
Not to mention, as soon as he thought about it, he realized that there was a force that he had ignored in the past few days, and he suddenly felt a little enlightened.
A few minutes later, inside the cabin, a cabin near the statue of Poseidon.
"Old Crocodile, I want to hire your people to help me find the Forbidden Fruit Island. The price is satisfactory to you, so please help lead the way."
Wang Zhifan found the giant crocodile man at this moment. He insisted on keeping this guy because he was a native of the Storm Sea. Although he claimed to have never heard of the Forbidden Fruit Island, if his tribe could help in this matter , the efficiency is definitely far better than Wang Zhifan's effort alone.
"Captain, I can help you...but I have been away from my hometown for many years. I am not sure whether my tribe will listen to my suggestions."
The Crocodile Man Giant Man A Brief Introduction After thinking about it, he answered Wang Zhifan, saying that he was not sure whether he had the face to impress those tribesmen now.
"Old crocodile, I am not forcing your people, but I am going to hire them. The gold orchid coins will definitely be enough. If you have money, you can't even talk to them?"
Wang Zhifan feels that this guy The consideration is quite redundant. Judging from his experience in this dungeon world so far, the large amount of gold coins brought by his status as a VIP player can be said to be unfavorable and has helped him solve many problems easily.
"Captain, the gold orchid coin is indeed very attractive... but my people are different from you humans. Although they also like property, they value other things more... I will take you there and you will know, but I can't guarantee that I can convince you. My people will help you.”
The giant crocodile man didn’t make it clear at this point, but he had already promised to help Wang Zhifan.
"Okay, please give the navigator the directions. We have to try no matter what."
Knowing that there may be some obstacles ahead, Wang Zhifan did not hesitate at all. This kind of thing is something that people can find a way to solve, as long as it's not something deliberately disgusting like looking for a forbidden fruit island in the sea.
“Yes, Captain.”
The giant crocodile man was quite stable and reliable. As soon as he agreed to Wang Zhifan's promise, he got up and went to the deck to find the poor navigator without even discussing the hiring price with Wang Zhifan.
"Although this guy is a foreigner, I feel he is more reliable than many humans after contacting him during this period. I hope he will not do anything like the old man."
Let him go directly. There is no doubt that there are some risks when a sea ship goes to the territory of the crocodile people. , but Wang Zhifan still decided to do this. On the one hand, he felt that there should be no particularly powerful beings on the Crocodile People side, otherwise they would not be able to live in a tragic place like the Sea of Storms. On the other hand, he was really tired of this dungeon mission. , can't pretend not to see such a big boost.
So, in the next period of time, the Dogfish headed to the territory of the Crocodile Man, which was not very close to the sea area where they were currently located. It took four or five days to sail even with the speed of the ship. arrive.
On this day, when the giant crocodile man came to the captain's cabin to inform Wang Zhifan that he was about to arrive, Wang Zhifan woke up from practicing in his dream and followed him to the deck to look out.
"Captain, starting from the island in front is the territory of our crocodile people. My people should appear soon."
The giant crocodile man said and pointed to the rough sea ahead. There is a black island reef looming in the waves.
"Okay, you can help communicate with them later."
Wang Zhifan nodded, wondering why the island pointed out by the other party was so small, and it didn't look like it could be habitable, but He also saw that this sea area was a little different from other places in the Storm Sea, that is, the wind and waves were slightly smaller, and the islands and the like were relatively densely packed.
Not long after, Wang Zhifan chatted with the giant crocodile man, and some unusual movements appeared on the sea around the Dogfish. They were humanoid figures covered with dark brown scales. They were long and thick, but without a hair. They broke through the waves one by one like big fish and arrived near the ship. At the same time, they showed off various weapons in their hands, such as axes, spears, and scimitars, but with Mainly long-handled weapons.
"There are actually humans who dare to intrude into our crocodile-men's territory?! Warriors! Let us kill them all! Then drink all their blood! Eat all their meat!"
The largest crocodile-man The first one to swim close to the Dogfish, this guy's vicious vertical eyes first spotted Wang Zhifan and several other sailors standing on the side of the ship. His mood suddenly became excited, and he opened his big mouth full of sharp teeth and shouted With.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!" The other crocodile men in the water also became very excited when they heard his move. They responded to him with a thunderous roar, like a horn before charging on the battlefield.
"Guguza! Stop! It's me!"
The giant crocodile man standing on the deck quickly spoke to stop him. He took off the steel helmet on his head. Revealing a face as ferocious as the naked crocodiles in the sea below.
When these ferocious races in the sea heard the voices of their own race, they immediately raised their heads and looked at them, and then their yellow-brown vertical pupils flashed with surprise.
“Gu Gucha! It’s you, the traitor! How dare you come back!”
The big crocodile man, who was called Guguza by the giant crocodile man, glanced at him who had taken off his helmet, and immediately yelled, with obvious anger in his tone.
"Guguza! Don't frame me! I have never betrayed my people!"
The giant crocodile man did not show weakness after hearing this, and immediately roared louder. passed.
"No! Gu Gucha! You are a traitor! You have put on the thin skin of weak humans! You still live on their rotten wood! You are a shame to our great crocodile family! I want to challenge you Duel with dignity!”
The big crocodile man named Guguza roared in response, and proposed to duel with the giant crocodile man on the deck. He seemed to have forgotten that he had just proposed to wash the ship with blood. thing.
"Guguza! I'm not coming back this time to kill you! I'm bringing great benefits to the clan! Let the clan leader speak out!"
The giant crocodile man on the side of the boat faced the challenge with a challenging tone Very disdainful, and at the same time stated his purpose.
"Hahaha! Guguza! Is this the result of you mixing with humans! Stop hiding your cowardice! If you are a warrior, come down and fight me!"
Guguza He began to laugh loudly at the giant crocodile man, trying to provoke him into going into a so-called battle.
Seeing that these rounds of communication were not going well, Wang Zhifan, who had been standing next to the giant crocodile man Gu Gucha and said nothing, felt that he could no longer remain silent, otherwise the giant crocodile man would fall into a disadvantageous situation. Later cooperation is even more impossible to promote.
So he intervened at this time and shouted to the big crocodile man Guguza in the sea below:
"Down here, I will fight you, okay?"
He As soon as the words came out, the crocodiles in the sea below were stunned, and then laughed together.
"Haha! Weak humans dare to challenge the strongest Guguza to a duel! This is so ridiculous!"
"Guguza! Your food is going to duel with you! Hahaha!”
...
Amidst the laughter, Guguza, who had been keeping his eyes on the giant crocodile man Guguza, slowly turned his vertical pupils to the side and examined this human who suddenly made outrageous demands.
As a crocodile warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles, he is naturally very confident in his own strength, but he is not a fool who doesn't understand anything. He knows that although humans are generally weak, there are also some very scary things. A strong man, so he carefully examined the person who challenged him at this time to judge the threat level of the other party.
In an instant, a sense of terror like a giant beast under the sea rushed into the crocodile man's spirit, making his hard body that was not afraid of the cold feel a bone-chilling chill, making his vertical pupils unable to hold back. Zoom out.
"You are replying? Do you accept a duel with me?"
Wang Zhifan noticed the fear that suddenly flashed in the eyes of the crocodile man, but this did not make him underestimate the crocodile man warrior, because being able to correctly judge the opponent's strength is a very important ability, and not everyone can possess it.
"Guguza! What are you hesitating about!"
"Guguza! Answer him quickly!"
"Guguza! Don't let us down!"
……
Discovering that the warrior among their tribe had suddenly become mute, the crocodile people in the nearby seawater suddenly became unhappy and collectively put pressure on the big crocodile man Guguza.
Under this pressure, everyone's focus finally responded:
"I...Guguza, I don't know how to duel with food! Guguza! If you are a warrior, come down and fight me. Fight! This is your only chance to prove that you are not a traitor!”
This guy seems reckless and brutal, but he is very smart. He rejected Wang Zhifan because he was not qualified, and insisted on fighting the crocodile giant who had a chance of winning. Han duel.
But the giant crocodile man was not a fool. He also noticed the fear Guguza showed just now and immediately exposed him mercilessly.
"Guguza! I can duel with you! But I ask you to solve the food you mentioned first! Otherwise, I have reason to suspect that you are afraid! You are afraid of a human being whom you despise the most! You are not worthy of being a warrior of our clan!"
The giant crocodile man Gu Guza roared, causing Gu Guza below to face a problem again.
"Is this a push of the ball? Is it over or not?"
Wang Zhifan couldn't stand it anymore when he saw this. He simply stopped talking about it and moved his feet a little bit. He climbed over the side of the ship, landed on the rough sea, and stood on the surface of the ocean.
The reason why he can stand on the sea is naturally because he activated the source of ice to form solid ice under his feet. This is only the most basic use of this power.
"Guguza, I'm down now, I'll let you take action first."
Standing on the solid ice at the soles of his feet, Wang Zhifan then looked at a crocodile man in the sea ahead who looked shocked and said.
