Chapter 198 Appraisal is a win-win situation (2/3)
Sea beasts really can't stop exploration ships.
After Ian shot with a water gun and shocked everyone at the power of this strange inscribed instrument, they were not to be outdone and showed off their respective strengths.
The captain took out the harpoon, and the steel harpoon with the rope was thrown out by his skinny body, but it carried great force, and the air roared shrilly.
When the harpoon hits a stone turtle, it can easily shatter the opponent's rock scales and penetrate it directly.
According to the captain, he is actually quite healthy, and his skinny figure is simply due to a mistake in the formula of the potion, which converted his muscles into high-density and powerful muscles without leaving the relevant fat and filling structures.
The sea-born swordsman swung his long sword in the air, and the layers of water turned into translucent lines and slashed towards the sea - the neck of a snake-necked beast was broken in response.
The water-dividing inscription engraved on this long sword does have its effect. The water blade he slashed was clearly distinct from the waves. It was not like Ian's water gun, which was affected by the waves in direction and strength, and maintained its most intact power.
Ian made a note to borrow the opponent's sword when he had the opportunity to take a look. It was said that the inscription technique unique to Whale Song Cliff did have value for learning.
As for Isengard's two first-level guards, they only shot with longbows - they didn't kill many Warcraft, but they did protect Isengard very well.
The other crew members also used the spearguns equipped on the ship to shoot, and the wave chanter also sang loudly, speeding up the waves, and the circle of scattered sea beasts was quickly broken through.
There are five Ascended Ones, seven including myself and Isengard, and a second-level Master Gosei. Even if the natives come out in force, they cannot completely block it, not to mention that these are just sea beasts guarding the door.
Not long after, the exploration ship had left the luminous sea and arrived at the distant sea.
This successful encounter gave all the crew members a lot of confidence, and the atmosphere in the team became lively. Some of the team members who were not familiar with each other were chatting with each other with smiles - fighting together is one of the fastest ways to strengthen relationships.
One, even though this battle is not very difficult.
Torturing food together is also a battle.
Ian was no exception. He took advantage of the situation and asked the Sea Swordsman to borrow his sword for appraisal and make a rubbing. The other party also wanted to establish a good relationship with this young genius who could make his own high-pressure water gun, so he did not refuse.
After writing down the inscription structure of the water-dividing sword, Ian also realized that this long sword actually has a second function - it has two groups of inscriptions, the first group is the 'water-dividing' that he had seen before.
, which allows the holder's sublimation skills to not be affected by the water environment, and the second set of effects is 'wave urging', which can use the momentum of the waves to increase the power of slashing in the water.
This is a good weapon at the peak of the first energy level. At first, the sea-born swordsman was a little bit unconvinced, but after following Ian's explanation and activating the inscriptions in different orders, it did show the power of 'destroying waves'.
.
He entered the sea and slashed out with his sword. The straight white waves stretched for nearly a hundred meters before slowly stopping. The power was so powerful that everyone was amazed.
Of course, this is also the result of the stormy environment, but in normal times, cutting a 34-meter sword wave in the sea can also greatly expand the swordsman's strike range.
According to the sea-born swordsman, this is the sword left behind by his father. His father participated in the Battle of the Three Seas thirty-five years ago, killed more than ten sea demon insects, and obtained the official title of Whale Song Cliff.
The reward - this long sword is the reward.
It's just a pity that his father died of a recurrence of an old injury when he was still young, so he didn't fully understand the true use of this long sword. Even if he asked his father's comrades for advice, they would only use the first set of inscriptions.
usage.
As a result, everyone was convinced by Ian's appraisal ability.
However, just when Ian was chatting happily with everyone.
However, he noticed that Master Gosei pulled Isengard to the cabin aside with a frown on his face, wondering what they were talking about.
When Isengard came out, the young alchemist distributed several copies of 'Water Breathing' and 'Fish Skin Potions' to everyone present.
"Although everyone has good water resistance, we are in the open sea after all, and no one can guarantee whether he will have an accident - so everyone keeps these medicines close to him. If necessary, they can definitely save a life."
Regardless of whether these words are auspicious or not, the potion is real.
Compared with other alchemy potions, underwater breathing potions are relatively cheap, about three thalers a bottle. Although this price is still expensive for ordinary people, most people who are engaged in the sea industry will prepare a bottle with them to save someone at critical moments.
Life is definitely not a lie.
The fish skin potion sounds crude, but it is actually very useful - it can reduce the resistance in the water, and even slow down the impact of wind and waves. When used together with underwater breathing, even people with poor water skills can
In the wind and rain, I struggled against the tide to get back to the shore.
Such a bottle requires nine talers, half a year's salary of an ordinary crew member.
After getting this bottle of potion, everyone became confused... Even if they were being chased by the natives, they wouldn't be prepared to run away after defeat so early, right?
But in the final analysis, it is all money earned in vain, and hundreds of thalassas will be taken out at once. It can only be said that the Ellen family has become rich and powerful.
Next, Ian was called to the captain's cabin alone.
"This is the source of the essence that the instrument just picked up. Ian, you can sense it and you can decide which direction we will sail next."
Master Gosei looked serious, and Ian understood somewhat that the other party must have noticed some clues in the battle just now.
Even though the other party highly praised his identification ability, Jiang was definitely still smarter. Even if the other party couldn't detect it keenly because he didn't have the corresponding psychic ability, he was definitely better than him in terms of details.
Without saying much, the young man stepped forward and took the bottle of Origin Qi extracted by the instrument.
He turned on his spiritual power, observed it for a while, and noticed that there was indeed an aura that was very similar to dragon scales, and said: "Southwest."
"Huh."
The old man couldn't help but be a little confused, even his hunched back was a little straight: "Are you sure it's Southwest? The instrument shows..."
"It's a storm now, the tide is very strong, and there is an undercurrent surrounding the South China Sea offshore."
Ian did not stop his psychic powers. He observed the induction while explaining: "Master, you have never lived in the South China Sea. The underwater undercurrent is the official path of sea creatures. Following the undercurrent can save a lot of physical strength, but it is also because
In this way, a lot of source energy coming from other directions will be carried in and flow towards the northwest, so it will be impossible to track the target."
Ian drew a sloping dotted line from south to west on the map. Isengard standing aside asked curiously: "Then why didn't it come from the south?"
The young man explained patiently: "Because the south is Caotan Cliff, where thunder-hunting jellyfish gather - the number of jellyfish has increased in recent years, not to mention that this crystal dragon is only at the peak of the first energy level.
Even at the peak of the second level, if you encounter those group of jellyfish, you have to turn around and walk away."
"Oh, yes, today is still a stormy day. These jellyfish are very active and will electrocute anything they see. Normally they are quite docile and can be touched."
——How can jellyfish be docile? Isn’t it just that they have no brains?
——And touching jellyfish? Have you really touched those thunderhunting jellyfish before?!
The confused Isengard stopped talking, and Master Gosei told the captain: "Listen to him and sail southwest."
