Chapter 278 Jumping to the Sea
"I was protected so well by my master in the past." Hayata hugged Pandan and rubbed the little one's round cheeks, "And the village chief and her mother-in-law helped me , experienced the life of a hunter all over again.
The next spring, when I stood in front of the strange dragon again. , I still feel fear, but my hands and feet no longer shake.
Although the result of the second hunt was still a failure, I was able to retreat calmly, and the nightmare of being swallowed by the strange dragon was also gone without realizing it. br>
When summer comes, I finally cut off the strange dragon’s head.”
"The second half of your story jumped too fast!" Gordon couldn't help complaining.
Hayata pouted and put her chin on Pandan's head, "I'm not good at telling stories anyway."
Gordon picked up a squid tentacle and chewed it. Said: "Actually, when you took the novice equipment handed to you by the village chief's mother-in-law, you had already stepped out."
"Is that so?" Hayata blinked.
“Yes.”
Aziz agreed with Gordon's statement, "Those who have experienced life and death and can pick up weapons again and walk into the hunting grounds can basically come out."
"So, Aziz has also encountered similar situations. "Is it something?" Ai Xia asked curiously.
Previously, when Aziz recounted his experiences, the whole story was about fishing everywhere and killing people in all directions. Failure seemed to have never happened before.
Az and Gordon looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
“That will have to be discussed until tomorrow morning.”
Early the next morning, Gordon sat up from the floor on time.
Azi is away from home all the time, and there is no furniture at home. The only option is to make a bed on the floor. Fortunately, Gordon doesn't have to choose a place to sleep, and he can sleep soundly on the floor.
The door was pushed open from the outside.
Azi, who had already put on his equipment, walked in.
“Hey, wake up.”
He threw Gordon two pieces of calla taro left over from last night, and gave the pork chop a piece of dried fish. This was a simple breakfast.
"Hurry up and get ready, we will be leaving soon."
Gordon stood up after filling his stomach in a few mouthfuls.
“Today we are going to fight in the water? To be honest, I haven’t tried water fighting yet. Although I can swim, it’s only to the point where I can’t drown. It’s probably the same with Hayata. Is that okay? ?”
“Okay!”
Az waved his hands carelessly, "This kind of thing is instinct, instinct! You will know what to do when you get into the water!"
Gordon broke into a cold sweat after hearing this, how could he forget this? Is this guy a sea dweller?
Is it possible that my "instinct" is the same as his?
Noting Gordon's nervousness, Aziz smiled and explained: "Well, I know what you are worried about. You don't have to think so much. Underwater combat is different from swimming. As long as you overcome your fear of water, you can get used to it. Just resistance.
If the opponent is a monster like a sea dragon, of course I won’t dare to lead you around, but it’s just a few sharks, no problem!”
Gordon thought about it, too.
The danger level of sharks should be similar to that of blue velociraptors. Even if you can't control your hands and feet well underwater, you can still crush them with your equipment.
"Respirators and weights will be prepared for you. If you are really worried, just jump into the sea first to get used to it, and then go to the hunting ground."
Gordon heard two Key words, "Respirator? Counterweight? Are these things needed for water battles?"
"Wait a minute."
Aziz ran out and ran back not long after.
He held up some cork and lead blocks.
“These are counterweights, fixed on the armor. If the equipment is heavy, get more cork, and if the equipment is more buoyant, get some lead weights. In short, let you be able to float underwater in an upright posture. This way It can save a lot of energy."
Gordon nodded, it was easy to understand, he was more concerned about the other thing in Az's hand.
It was a strange-looking mask with two fang-like horizontal branches on both sides.
"Well, I'm a sea dweller, so I don't need this, but you may need it."
Azi pointed at the two horizontal branches, "There are oxygen algae inside, which can provide you with oxygen for several minutes. , when the oxygen is exhausted and you return to the surface to breathe, it can quickly re-store oxygen, which is very convenient."
Gordon took over the respirator and felt mostly relaxed.
What he is most worried about is the problem of holding his breath. Fortunately, there is corresponding equipment to solve it. But he probably can’t wear it anymore while wearing a helmet. It seems that he can only give up the helmet for the time being.
“By the way, what should they do with the pork chop?”
"It's okay, meow!" Pig Chop held the dried fish in his mouth and put his hands on his hips confidently.
"Elu cats are better at water than you think. Their diving ability even exceeds that of us sea dwellers. This is a physiological advantage."
"That's right, meow. !”
Hearing this, Gordon felt relieved and chatted with Aziz while washing up.
“Gululu, bah—Azi, do you sea people have the tradition of painting war patterns on your body before going out to fish or go hunting?”
Aziz tilted his head when he heard this, "There is such a tradition, do you want to try it?"
"Is it possible?" Gordon was a little interested, "Who can I ask to draw it? Is there any special dye? , the kind that won’t faint even if it gets wet?”
Azi’s expression became ambiguous. , "Dye is easy to talk about. Mom has it there. The main point is, the question is who do you want to find to help you paint, Miss Hayata?"
"Why Hayata?"< br>
“According to the tradition of the sea people, it is the wife who helps her husband draw war patterns.”
"."
Gordon froze.
“You think I didn’t say anything.”
“Hehehe, do you want me to help you tell Miss Hayata?”
“Get out!”< br>
Suppressed with force and obtained Aziz's guarantee not to talk nonsense.
Gordon equipped himself with armor, and the two of them went out together, went to Aisha's house to bring Hayata and Xianglan, and then went to find the village chief and receive the mission certificate.
Glancing at the respirator mask in Gordon's hand, the village chief smiled and said: "It seems that you are all ready. As long as you use the respirator properly, even if you are novices in water fighting, you will be fine. Big question."
"What is a respirator?" Hayata asked curiously.
“How do you use this thing?” Gordon also looked at Az.
"."
The village chief's face turned dark. He slapped Aziz on the back of his neck and cursed: "You bastard! Didn't I tell you before? You need to tell them the precautions for water fighting first." Really?”
Azi grinned and rubbed the red back of his neck, “Uh, no. I was just about to say it.”
“What did you do for so much time last afternoon and evening?”
Xiang Lan said with an innocent face: “First, you pretended to be a ghost and scared Sister Ai Xia to tears. Meow, and then in order to coax sister Ai Xia, I told stories all night, meow.”
Seeing that the village chief's eyebrows were about to rise again, Aziz grabbed Gordon and the others' wrists, turned around and ran away.
“Take them to try out the respirators first!”
Gordon and Hayata were dragged to the dock by Aziz, and he kicked the pandan into the sea first. , and then said to Pig Chop:
"Little Pandan is Ailu from the desert. Pig Chop, you need to take it with you to familiarize yourself with the water, and I will prepare delicious fish for you in the evening."< br>
“Deal Meow!”
Pig Chop happily jumped into the sea, dragging the struggling Pandan, and dived in. A string of bubbles appeared on the surface of the water.
Hayata: "."
Azi turned around and handed Hayata a respirator mask, and then said to the two of them: "Put the respirator on your mouth first. ”
Hayata and Gordon looked at each other and did as they were told.
It felt a little strange to breathe while wearing a respirator. Gordon asked in a loud voice: "Then what?"
Aziz grinned, showing his big white teeth, grabbed their wrists again, and jumped forward with all his strength.
"Then it's time to jump into the sea!" (I have some work in the evening, two updates today orz
