Chapter 11 Are you saying you want us to leave empty-handed?
The wall of blood eyes stared at everyone present. The sight seemed to penetrate the flesh and blood and go straight to the soul and bone marrow deep in the body.
It was a despairing and suffocating feeling!
Even Captain Black Eyes, who was over forty years old and had seen many big storms, could not help but retreat, retreat, and retreat again!
Until the back of his head hit the stone door firmly.
In an instant, everyone held their breath and did not dare to make even the slightest sound.
In the entire cave, the only sound left was the sound of the monster outside hitting the stone door.
The little crow was so nervous that he started biting his nails.
An incomprehensible monster, absolutely no match...
Captain Black Eyes, the strongest in the team, holds the knife tightly. His strength can control the fate of everyone present.
But in just a moment, he understood deeply that his black knife could not shake this monster like a giant wall.
The treasure of the legendary deep-sea hunter is not something pirates like them can covet!
The Blood Eye Wall in the Deep Sea is a world-class BOSS at least. It was the first time Chen Qi saw such a giant thing with his own eyes, and he was inevitably shocked.
Monsters of this level must at least reach the fourth level of extraordinary, which is the level that only those big men can have and have a chance of defeating.
However, placing the treasure under the Blood Eye Wall is in line with the legend's description of the deep-sea hunter.
In the videos he viewed about deep-sea hunters, this dead legendary hunter was not a person who was good at traps, but a pure killing hunter.
Proving the way with blood and breaking the law with strength is his style.
Coupled with the enlightenment of entering the rift, he probably understood everything.
In the distant past, a deep-sea hunter came to this rift and placed one of his treasures beneath the wall.
At the same time, he used his blade to draw a crack in the ground, a warning line for the weak.
If you cross this line of cracks, you will be attacked by the Blood Eye Wall.
This is both a line of safety for the weak and a line of trial for the strong.
Everyone lowered their heads in unison and looked at the cracks scratched with a knife blade on the ground.
They seemed to be able to transcend time and space and feel the words of the legendary deep-sea hunter:
"Do you want my treasure? Then cross this line and fight the Blood Eye Wall!"
"Kill! Move forward!"
No one dared to move forward.
Now, they can only wait passively, waiting for the Blood Eye Wall to respond.
Grrrrrr!
Suddenly, the hundreds of bloody eyes on the wall rolled violently and focused their sights in the direction of the stone door!
To be precise, the direction of these sight lines is the direction of Chen Qi.
Nearly a hundred blood-red eyes stared straight at him.
Chen Qi raised his head and met his eyes.
The purity of the deep sea blood in the Blood Eye Wall in front of you is much higher than that of the deep sea toads outside.
Chen Qi didn't understand Deep Sea Language, so he could only rely on instinct to understand this wall and feel its sight.
The blood-red eyes kept rolling, and those nearly a hundred lines of sight conveyed some special ancient language.
It's a very simple ancient meaning:
"Hello."
No, to be precise, there is a certain humility in it.
Should I say hello, is it more accurate?
Hello, that's interesting... Chen Qi was a little surprised, his lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.
Seeing Chen Qi's absent-minded look, Little Crow suddenly put his hands on Chen Qi's armpits and pulled hard, hard!
"Quit thinking! Don't try to understand, don't try to feel!"
Although there is no research to prove it, based on experience above the sea, never try to understand the language of these ancient monsters.
Above the sea, there are many legends about deep-sea monsters seducing humans.
It hurts! Those are armpits!
Chen Qi never expected that this little crow would suddenly do this to him!
“Got it.”
But I'm sorry, I've already understood... Out of politeness, Chen Qi could only nod.
If he didn't nod, Little Crow would probably pinch him even harder!
After conveying the meaning, the tentacles on the dome of the Blood Eye Wall slowly retracted, and the many eyes on the wall also closed again.
It once again turned into a wavy carved pattern.
The Blood Eye Wall did not perform any other actions.
No more aggression, nor any Kraken-like mental effects.
It didn't seem to care at all about the creatures outside the line of the crack.
The purpose of opening its eyes was not to give fear to these creatures, but just to say hello to Chen Qi.
It is not an existence that actively attacks humans...
After a long time, everyone who had crowded on the stone wall took a long breath.
"I'm scared to death. I'd rather be swept up in the sky by the storm."
"I don't want to go to the gang to buy back my woman. As long as I live, you can sell me to the gang."
Everyone escaped and celebrated that they had survived.
"Hello……"
A bit interesting... Chen Qi muttered in his heart, with many thoughts. He just felt an extremely simple kindness from the wall of blood eyes.
He was almost certain that neither the ordinary sea beasts outside nor the huge monster in front of him would take the initiative to attack him.
This is Deep Sea Affinity——
Chen Qi also took a long breath and once again felt the power of this talent.
It is indeed the talent of the villain BOSS monsters!
This deep-sea hunter's treasure is not that difficult for him to obtain.
Perhaps he could get the treasure chest on the stairs as long as he took a few steps...
However, with his current strength, it is impossible for him to disobey the orders of Little Crow and Captain Black Eyes.
You must take your time and look for an opportunity... Chen Qi touched his chest and looked at everyone again.
For the pirates on the Saw Shark at this moment, the treasure chest in front of them seems to be in the distant sky.
The old first mate sighed and frowned: "What should we do, Captain?"
Outside the stone gate, there were still bloodthirsty sea beasts trying to bite them into pieces.
No time can be lost.
But the treasures of the deep-sea hunters in front of them are simply not within their reach.
They need instructions from the captain.
Captain Black Eyes glanced at the line of cracks on the ground again.
He took out a bottle of highly alcoholic rum from the crewman's backpack and drank it in one gulp:
"We are no match for this monster.
However, in the legend, the deep-sea hunter is not a person who is good at designing puzzles. His treasures are often placed in dangerous areas of the sea.
In that area, there is often a ferocious sea beast.
Our great leader of the Black Whale Group has told us this a long time ago.
In this situation, we, the Saw Shark, are not unprepared..."
Oh, you are still prepared! Chen Qi's eyes lit up.
At this moment, Captain Black Eyes looked at Little Crow:
"Little Crow, take out those sea beasts you brought with you."
The little crow bit his lip and said to the big pirate behind him who was responsible for carrying things:
"Take it out!"
"yes."
Bang!
Four backpacks were thrown into the center of the crowd, and a large amount of blue liquid flowed out of the bags.
Apparently, this is what the Saw Shark has to deal with the Blood Eye Wall.
From the backpack, four twisted and squirming things slowly came out, sliding their tentacles on the ground.
Blue, octopus-like——
Is this the Saw Shark's preparation... Chen Qi recognized this thing.
Isn't this a parasitic sea beast?
But in terms of quality, it was much higher than the one he saw at the beginning.
At this moment, a delirious pirate said:
"Captain, can this gadget defeat the Blood Eye Wall?"
Little Crow was speechless and explained to everyone:
"According to the report in the eleventh issue of the Royal College of Medicine's Ocean Journal, before parasitic sea animals parasitize humans, they secrete an invisible substance that is extremely difficult for humans to observe, and then form a special aura.
This kind of aura can make other sea beasts stop attacking humans.
Deep-sea species, especially ancient deep-sea species, maintain a wonderful balance, and they rarely prey on each other.
Some cultists who believe in the deep sea rely on this to coexist with deep sea monsters!
In other words, if the damage caused by parasitic sea beasts to the human body can be reduced and only let it secrete this invisible gas, humans can be temporarily treated as the same kind by the sea beasts.
Of course, we still know nothing about the deep ocean and this is just a guess. "
The little crow finished speaking in one breath, and his throat felt a little dry.
At this moment, some pirates were still looking at Little Crow and blinked, unable to react.
As the shooter, Chen Qi concluded for Little Crow: "To put it simply, by letting the parasitic sea beast take the initiative to parasitize, maybe it can be regarded as the same kind by the Blood Eye Wall, and then get the treasure chest on the stairs."
Little Crow continued:
"Yes, but the possibility of this method is very low, it needs..."
You need to gamble with your life... Chen Qi added in his heart.
Bang! Bang!
Captain Black Eyes slammed the ground with his long knife and interrupted:
"That's right! My warriors can use the parasitic sea beasts on the ground to cover up our aura as humans.
Maybe we can get the treasure on the stairs without fighting the Blood Eye Wall. "
Artificial deep sea affinity! This is how the Saw Shark deals with the Blood Eye Wall!
The little crow who was interrupted clenched his fists: "These four sea beasts have all had their aggressiveness weakened. Even if they are parasitized, the damage to the body is not very great.
However, parasitic sea beasts are dangerous after all. People who have certain adaptability to parasitism by sea beasts are required to maintain a longer 'parasitism time'. Otherwise, parasitic sea beasts with their fangs cut off are likely to break away from humans. "
"Yes, as the ship's doctor said, these sea beasts have been weakened and are very safe!"
Captain Black Eyes avoided the important and said loudly again, looking around at everyone present,
"Okay, my warriors, do any of you dare to take the initiative to put the parasitic sea beast on your shoulders, and then cross the crack line to get the treasure?"
At this moment, Captain Black Eyes fixed his sights on a dark-skinned salvage man.
This salvager has been engaged in fishing and salvaging for many years, and was infected by a special parasitic fish-type sea beast.
Later, he spent a lot of money and stayed in bed for a month before he came back to life.
It is said that people who survive being infected by sea beasts will develop a resistance to deep-sea creatures.
And this salvager also has a certain amount of resistance in his body.
Undoubtedly, this salvage man is the most suitable candidate.
"I...come..."
The salvage man was an honest and tough guy. He glanced at Captain Black Eyes, clenched his fists, and walked up silently.
He knew this was a matter of seeking death.
But the captain's orders were above all else and could not be disobeyed, and even if he resisted, it would be of no use.
At least Captain Dark Eyes will be kinder to his wife and children after he dies.
Captain Black Eyes showed a pleased smile:
"You are indeed the warrior of our Saw Shark! If we can successfully get the treasure and return home, we can return to the headquarters of our Black Whale Group!"
When the time comes, you will definitely have a box full of gold coins!
Furthermore, you must know that those who can obtain the deep-sea hunter's treasure will, without exception, become famous figures at sea. "
The salvage man did not speak, but silently picked up the treated parasitic sea beast and pressed it against his right arm.
The parasitic sea beast felt the human aura, and immediately stretched out its tentacles and plunged in!
"ah!"
The salvage man gritted his teeth and allowed the sea beast to penetrate his body.
The breath of the deep sea - Chen Qi can indeed feel it. With the parasitic sea beasts, there is indeed a faint breath of the deep sea on the salvaged people.
As Little Crow said, the aggression of these four parasitic sea beasts has been greatly weakened, and even ordinary people can hold on for a while.
"call!"
Immediately afterwards, the salvagers slowly moved forward according to the parasitic sea beast, stepping across the terrifying line of cracks.
One step, two steps, three steps——
Three full steps!
The wall of blood eyes has not yet launched any attack.
Everyone's eyes widened. The wall of blood eyes in front of them would not attack him!
In other words, this plan is feasible!
Captain Black Eyes’ hand holding the black knife trembled a little, and the treasure that was originally out of reach became within reach again!
They don't need to fight the Blood Eye Wall to get the legendary treasure!
Chen Qi observed the salvage people.
He could feel that the parasitic sea beast on his shoulder had noticed something was wrong and was about to get rid of him.
"Keep moving forward!"
Captain Black Eyes opened his arms and encouraged him.
The salvage man slowly walked up the stairs, trying to speed up the pace!
However, in the next moment, he clearly felt that the parasitic sea beast on his shoulder began to break away from him!
At this moment, his mind was completely covered by endless blood-red eyes.
"No! I can't!"
He felt a surge of fear.
Driven by instinct, he ignored the captain's order, quickly turned back, and then jumped towards the crack line!
The parasitic sea beast broke away from his body.
boom!
The tentacle on the wall stretched out again and jerked.
In an instant, the salvage man's legs were foaming with blood on the edges of the crack!
He crawled on the ground dripping with blood, and crawled in the direction of them with difficulty.
Under Little Crow's instructions, Chen Qi acted as the ship's doctor, walked to him, pulled him over, then bandaged him and gave him painkillers and healing medicine.
If it were the earth, a place like this, with this level of damage, would be declared hopeless.
But this is the New Sun World, a steampunk world where the technology tree is so crooked that it explodes.
If you have money and status, you can undergo extraordinary surgical treatment for this kind of broken leg injury.
Of course, under normal circumstances, even nobles would have to consider the cost of surgery of this level.
But no matter what, there is still a glimmer of hope.
At this moment, under this bloody scene, the dark-eyed captain who was supposed to express sadness couldn't help but curl up his mouth.
Although it failed, the fact that the salvagers were able to step across the crack line shows that this method is indeed feasible!
Moreover, unlike before, this time the Blood Eye Wall did not open its eyes after the attack.
Next, just keep trying!
Captain Black Eyes looked at all the crew members present again:
“Is there anyone else willing to carry out this mission?”
He thought, besides salvage people, who else has the resistance of sea beasts?
At this moment, the little crow faintly noticed something, silently stepped forward, gently stood on tiptoes, used his not-so-high body to block the sight of the black-eyed captain, and protected Chen Qi behind him.
"ah……"
Chen Qi was shocked by this heartwarming scene and probably understood something.
People who have been infected by sea beasts can survive longer.
Isn't that him? ?
And he has not been infected, to be precise, he is currently infected!
For others, this is undoubtedly a life-threatening job!
But just now, he was certain that the Blood Eye Wall would not attack him.
He is the chosen one!
However, this requires a test of acting skills... Chen Qi looked at the crack line and thought.
Captain Dark Eyes looked at everyone present, thinking about the value of each person.
As pirates, many of them have been attacked by sea beasts.
But you must choose the most suitable person, the person with the highest adaptability, and at the same time, the person with the lowest value!
All pirates are afraid of being selected by Captain Black Eyes.
Captain Black Eyes glanced at Little Crow, shook his head, and looked away slightly.
But at this moment, a strange thing happened.
The parasitic sea beast on the ground slowly wriggled towards Chen Qi at a twisted angle.
Everyone's eyes were looking at the direction in which the parasitic sea beast was moving.
Oops... Chen Qi expected this scene and looked at the parasitic sea beast that was slowly squirming towards him.
This is not surprising, parasitic leviathans are beasts and will instinctively attack the weakest of humans.
There will be no one weaker than him except the slaves.
This is an opportunity...
Chen Qi looked at the deep-sea hunter's treasure on the steps with his hot peripheral vision.
If you miss this opportunity, it will be a bit difficult to get here again.
Why not take this opportunity to take a look at the treasure of the deep sea hunter!
Deep Sea Affinity is his active skill. He can turn it off, but due to various considerations, he did not do so.
However, how about trying to turn it off first... Chen Qi's mind moved slightly, and he felt as if he had lost a layer of energy.
After turning it off, the parasitic sea beast still squirmed in the direction of Chen Qi at an extremely slow speed.
It seems useless.
Does this little thing love me so much... Chen Qi was speechless, but he reopened Deep Sea Affinity.
In this case, at least he will not be attacked by sea beasts and die.
Seeing this scene, Captain Black Eyes excitedly mentioned the parasitic sea beast, jumped over the little crow, and came to the direction of Chen Qi: "Well, the new warrior on my ship, have you been infected by the sea beast?"
"Um."
Chen Qi nodded, not denying that his back would expose everything.
The parasitic sea beast in the hands of Captain Black Eyes stretched out its tentacles and twisted a few times in the direction of Chen Qi.
It seems that this parasitic sea beast really wants to parasitize this person. In this case, it may be able to support him for a while longer... Captain Black Eyes smiled and said:
"It seems that this sea beast really wants to eat you, but don't worry, It has had its fangs shaved off.
Young man, I have always found you very courageous.
I don’t know, do you have the confidence to cross that line of cracks? "
Do you have confidence? Rather than whether you are willing to cross?
Chen Qi felt a little emotional in his heart. The other party didn't even give him a chance to choose.
Although he performed well, in the eyes of pirates, the possibility of using his life in exchange for a deep-sea hunter's treasure...
No, in the eyes of many people, it should be worth it!
A profitable business!
In the final analysis, he is just a slave who has just become a member of the crew, a cannon fodder.
Escape from the Black Whale Group is the right choice.
Come on then! Chen Qi took a deep breath.
At this moment, Little Crow said coldly:
"No!
Captain, he is my assassin, and his body is too fragile to be parasitized by the parasitic sea beast and reach the top of the steps.
This is a waste of personnel! "
The cold eyes under the little crow's mask stared closely at the captain, and a smell of gunpowder instantly filled the air.
Ah... Chen Qi never expected that his immediate boss, Little Crow, would openly challenge the captain of the Saw Shark.
The pirates didn't dare to interrupt. In terms of status, Little Crow was even above the old first mate and only lower than Captain Black Eyes.
Captain Black Eyes was silent for three seconds, and then said coldly:
"You mean! You want us to return empty-handed!"
