A group of experimental subjects huddled together, shivering.
The cabin they were in was only illuminated by a few candles, and the rest was dark.
In the center of the candle stands a small wooden statue of the Blue God.
“Ah uh!” A creepy roar came from the darkness, like a wild beast, more like a monster.
“It’s coming, it’s coming again!” The subjects were panicking.
“Quick, pray to the Charming Blue God!” Several of the experimental subjects shouted.
The strange and mysterious hunter in the darkness has killed several of them. Each attack is so fast that it is unimaginable.
“Praying to the gods and asking for the goddess’s protection is the only way to survive.” This idea has long been left in their minds.
The strong stimulation of approaching death and the fear in their hearts made it impossible for everyone to think about it.
However, after they tried it, they gradually found that the idea seemed to be correct!
“Ah roar!” The hunter in the darkness roared violently and struck again.
A peripheral test subject was dragged into the darkness.
"Ahhh!" In the darkness, the victim's shrill scream was immediately heard, as well as the sound of hunters tearing flesh and flesh and gnawing at human bones.
“It’s over, he’s done.”
“Woooooooo, another person died, he was right next to me just now!”
“O God, the great Charming Blue Goddess, please protect me, I will serve you for the rest of my life...”
The subjects cried and began to pray.
This is the most uniform prayer since everyone woke up.
“I have divine power, I have produced divine power again.” Someone shouted.
“Quick, send it to the statue of the goddess!” Everyone quickly made some space for him, allowing him to squeeze into the center and touch the statue.
As the prayers became louder and louder, more and more new believers gained divine power. In order to fight against the spreading darkness, they immediately channeled all their divine power into the idols.
As more and more divine power is transferred, the statue emits a halo, and the surrounding white candle flames burn more intensely, bringing more light, and the surrounding darkness immediately fades a small step.
The predators in the darkness let out dissatisfied and fearful cries.
“It works, it works again!” After discovering this, the experimental subjects burst into tears.
But this time, they cried with joy.
Because they finally determined that they had found the only way to survive in this desperate situation.
In the cabin next door, Cang Xu had an indifferent expression, manipulating the alchemy circle, controlling the light and shadow effects of candles, statues, and predators, and observing the condition of the test subjects.
The magic circle constantly releases fear spells, coupled with the death threat posed by non-existent hunters, making it impossible for everyone to really think about it.
In fact, even if they think about it, they will not find any flaws. This is because the original memories of all the experimental subjects have been condensed into one point by Cangxu and buried deeply. Then they have been completely replaced with false memories.
In this case, in order to survive, the experimental subjects had no choice but to pray to the Charming Blue God with all their strength.
The divine power generated by them will be transferred to the statue of the god as soon as possible.
They must actively contribute their divine power. Currently, Cangxu cannot use external means to forcibly extract the divine power from believers.
The statue of the god is wrapped in a big shell, which is naturally a fairy tale of a mermaid.
“Very good, very good.” Cang Xu observed for a long time, and a faint joy gradually appeared on his face.
Previously, Cang Xu had only independently tried memory operations based on books and records.
Ship Ghost’s memory of practice allowed him to add a lot of practical experience out of thin air, as well as many insights beyond records.
One of the most important techniques is memory concealment.
Cang Xu began to realize: Faith can transform the soul, and the manipulation of memory is also the shaping of the soul!
He no longer forcibly deleted all the original memories of the test subjects, but chose to use memory hiding techniques on them. On this basis, he planted false memories.
In this way, the degree of transformation of the soul of the test subject is greatly reduced, and the soul becomes more stable. Although it is a false memory, it is more difficult for the test subject to find flaws, and the efficiency of prayer is also slightly increased.
The prayer period is over, and the efficiency of the test subjects in obtaining divine power has plummeted to the bottom.
Cang Xu immediately manipulated the magic circle and released powerful hypnotic gas, which stunned all the test subjects.
Soon after, Cang Xu cleared the air and opened the hatch. A group of pirates immediately walked in. They pried open the mouths of the test subjects and poured two or three tubes of medicine into each of them.
These medicines can replace food and help test subjects maintain a healthy body and strong spirit.
When the pirates left, they would also take with them the unconscious test subjects piled up in the corner.
These test subjects were "killed" by predators. In fact, they were just stunned.
"These people can also use it to hide their memories and implant new false memories. The number of captives is limited, so I have to use them sparingly." Cang Xu calculated carefully.
“This group of believers has been trained, including seven ordinary believers, thirteen general believers, and two devout believers.”
“The efficiency of contributing divine power is much higher than that of me alone!”
“However, although their belief is strong, it is not lasting. After all, it is a belief that is stimulated by the outside world. When they wake up for the second round, their level of belief will generally decline.”
Just as Cang Xu was counting the results, a magic device placed on the table suddenly rang a rapid bell.
Cang Xu was slightly startled, and then his face darkened.
“The alchemy bomb secretly placed on the pirate ship in the port exploded!”
“It seems that we have been exposed.”
“Sigh... three days of rest is actually not bad.”
Deploying an alchemical bomb was the idea he came up with. This is an alarm. If the pirate ship leaves the port safely, the alchemical bomb will not detonate.
Once it explodes, it means that the cabin where the bomb is stored has been forcibly broken open.
“Time is running out, I have to cultivate the next group of believers quickly!”
Cangxu worked hard again.
On the sea, four pirate ships were sailing at the fastest speed.
These are all mana ships, three bronze-class and one black iron-class, contributed by the Knife Pirates and the Bronze Gull Caravan.
On the only black iron mana ship, the magic alarm bell rang.
Zidi’s heart tightened.
"Not the best, not the worst either. The real test is about to come!" The girl immediately informed the fish-man boy, and then began to detect the magic scroll. She would not blindly alchemy, and actively adjusted her mental state, waiting for what might come at any time.
fighting.
The fishman boy had a thick rope tied around his waist and sank into the shallow sea. He was dragged behind the black iron mana boat and moved through the sea water.
With the help of artificial sea currents, the fish-man boy practiced the art of Qingyang Bingming Douqi.
After receiving the message from Zidi, the fishman boy sighed in his heart: "What should come will eventually come."
boom.
He stepped hard with both hands and feet, and jumped out of the shallow water, like a cannonball flying through the air, and landed on the deck of the black iron magic ship.
Shaking his body, countless water droplets sprinkled around.
In the sunshine, in the roaring sea breeze, the water droplets are crystal clear, setting off the tall and strong body of the young man in the center, the smooth and smooth muscle curves, the ferocious mouth full of sharp teeth, and the elegant shark tail.
“Sir Captain!” The crew members were startled, with admiration in their eyes.
"Young men, sail at full speed and fight from behind. The enemy is probably the navy, and the lineup is not weak." Today's young man is already very familiar with the role of captain.
“Oh!” the pirates responded in unison. After three days of rest, their morale was very good.
The sea breeze gradually weakened, and under the blue sky and white clouds, the calm and vast sea stretched as far as the eye could see.
With the flag of the Justice Pirates hanging high, the four magic ships have already reached their respective speed limits. They are like four sharp knives, cutting two long white wave traces on the dark blue satin-like sea.
“Enemy traces found!” the lookout suddenly shouted loudly.
The pirates were shaken physically and mentally, and the sailors who were manning the sails moved a little faster.
Di Luo and Qiu were each sitting on a mana ship, their expressions solemn.
Bai Ya and a group of pirates were nesting in the dark cannon warehouse, waiting for the order to fire at any time.
His immediate superior is Xiaoniao. At this moment, Xiaoniao is recharging his energy and holding the necklace in both hands.
Three swordsmen and blue algae, who are each serving as charge captains, are checking their weapons.
In the forecastle, the big man swallowed mouthfuls of mud: "Eat a lot, otherwise... you will be hungry."
This is his unique combat experience.
Today's big man has a god-level bloodline, masters the King Earth Dou Qi technique, has abundant training resources, and his cultivation level has reached the peak of bronze, and is only one step away from the black iron.
He was cultivated by the fishman boy and began to develop his fighting ability in Crescent Town.
After exploring the Magnetic Islands, fighting against the Gold and Silver brothers, and fighting in the Tianzhu sea area, the big man has a lot of fighting experience, which is more colorful and exciting than many experienced black iron fighters.
The pursuing naval fleet gradually appeared in the eyes of the Justice Pirates.
The naval flag marking the killing of Rear Admiral Joe was flying high.
“The person opposite is the rear admiral!”
“Oops, he’s a gold-level expert.”
“Wait a minute, why do they have so few warships? I remember that during the rest period, they had a total of more than twenty ships.”
“Strange, their ships are all in tatters, as if they had just gone through a big battle.”
Morale was shaken, and the pirates adjusted themselves.
On the one hand, the appearance of the naval fleet was miserable. One warship was even dragging thick smoke, and many of the flags were in tatters, as if they had been burned by fire.
On the other hand, the backbone of the Justice Pirates are all here. Some of them are survivors of the Mysterious Island. They have experienced life and death hardships and their minds have been tempered to be quite firm. Although most of them have not experienced the Mysterious Island, they have
However, after going through the Tianzhu sea battle and seeing the incarnations of gods and legendary strong men, although Zhan Qiao was at the gold level, he could no longer bring much deterrence to them.
On the warship, the first mate reported: "Sir, the mana pool of the No. 7 ship exploded, a fire broke out in the cabin, the speed dropped sharply, and the voyage must be stopped immediately for rest."
Recommended, [ app ] is really good and worth installing. After all, there are many book sources, complete books, and fast updates!
“Damn it!” Major General Qiao Qiao gritted his teeth, his face looking very ugly.
The explosion of the alchemy bomb not only killed many naval elites, but also affected naval warships.
In fact, the Qiao fleet was already in very poor condition and needed to be replenished and repaired immediately. If they could not sail far, they could only enter the secret military port for repairs.
But the maintenance is in order, and they are arranged behind the Justice Pirates.
Just as the Justice Pirates had rested, they immediately fled.
Zhaqiao's fleet did not have time to recuperate, and was hit by alchemy bombs, making things worse. Therefore, at this time, there were only seven warships chasing the Justice Pirates.
And before the war started, one of the ships was temporarily disabled.
The first mate continued: "Sir, according to the latest information from the headquarters, the enemy has four surface warships and an undersea alchemy ship. Our warship lineup is only one-fifth of the usual number. In terms of quality, the Machete is only silver.
level, and the underwater alchemy ship of the Justice Pirates is a gold-level mana ship. We don’t have an advantage either!”
Major General Qiao nodded: "Where are the Tanmo Fleet and the Dudu Knife City Lord?"
The first mate looked grim and shook his head: "They were attacked, and many alchemy bombs were placed in Dull Knife City. There is no way they can get here in a short time."
"Damn it! It must be a trick of the Justice Pirates. Captain Sea Dog reported to me that there are elders from the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce in the Justice Pirates. They have participated in the black market auction in Dull Knife City, and they have already had influence in Dull Knife City.
, it’s easy to do this.” When Qiao Qiao said something he hated, he couldn’t help but hit the side of the boat with his fist.
"Let's go to war! We must try our best to entangle these people. As long as we hold them back and friendly forces come over, they will die without a burial place!!" Qiao Qiao quickly ordered.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the four pirate ships of the Justice Pirates burst into flames and thick white smoke rising.
Then, the whine of the shells reached the ears of the navy.
“Open the shield!” the first mate ordered decisively.
The next moment, a navy warship took the initiative to evacuate. While the six warships continued to pursue it, a huge light shield was raised on the ship.
These light masks have a unique shape, like an upside-down wine glass. The rim of the cup is facing down, completely covering the hull of the boat. The bottom of the cup is facing upward, like a small hat.
The cannonball hit the reticle, causing large and small explosions, but the warship was not damaged at all.
“The magic defense component of the Imperial Navy’s magic ship was exposed.” The fishman boy saw this situation, he had expected it, and looked calm.
The inventor of this equipment is not a human race, but a great alchemist from the werewolf tribe.
Shudder is very lustful and extremely daring. He once drugged Qingyu, the saint of the beast clan, in an attempt to do evil, but failed and was hunted down by the beast clan.
The werewolf clan couldn't protect Shivering and wanted him.
Being forced to do nothing, he trembled and could only run away.
He fled to the Shengming Empire and received the protection of Duke Henle. He and the Duke had a good rapport, and their friendship gradually deepened. In the following time, he gradually showed his talent, and finally received the alchemy title of Grand Master.
The naked cup is one of the trembling works of the werewolf alchemist, and it is very famous.
This kind of alchemy equipment has strong adaptability, high defense power, and low mana consumption. The main reason is that through the normal navigation and movement of warships, it absorbs light elements from the outside world. When the device is turned on, the light elements are released and participate in
Defense, reduce energy consumption, and increase defense value at the same time.
The exposed cup was widely praised by the market once it was released.
A few months later, the empire forcibly took over it, classified it as military supplies, and restricted market circulation.
To this day, exposed cup components have been commonly installed in the Imperial Navy, and Shivering has become an important figure in the Shengming Empire. The Pelle family, run by Duke Henle, has also benefited from this and made a lot of money.
"The Zhan Qiao fleet can fight six sea ships, one silver-class magic ship equipped with G-class exposed cups. Four black-iron magic ships equipped with H-class exposed cups. One bronze-class magical ship equipped with
Class I exposed cup." The fish-man boy observed the local warship.
The exposed cup components are divided into nine levels. Among them, level I is the weakest and is matched with a bronze magic ship. Level H is a little higher and is suitable for black iron magic ships. Then there are silver level G, gold level F, and holy level.
Domain's E-level, legendary D-level.
The C-level, B-level, and A-level ones above are all only in the trembling ideas of the werewolf alchemist master, and have not yet been realized.
Although the Justice Pirates struck preemptively, the results of the first round of bombardment were very low, and they were basically blocked by the exposed cups.
Subsequently, the navy began to counterattack.
“Get out of the shelling!” the lookout shouted in warning.
Sailors and combat personnel on the deck all took shelter, taking shelter or simply lying down on the deck.
The cannonballs were fired, and some of them fell into the sea, creating white waves. Some hit the deck, and some exploded, blowing the unlucky guy to pieces.
But more chain bullets.
These shells are designed to target sails and masts.
But the fish-men young men, Zi Di, Cang Xu, Di Lu, and Qiu took action in time and intercepted most of the chain bullets.
This kind of cannonball must be intercepted, otherwise the sails and masts will be damaged, the speed of the Justice Pirates will be greatly reduced, and the possibility of escape will plummet.
“Every ship reports battle damage!” The fishman boy sent a message through a magic device.
Soon, the situation of each ship was reported back.
The overall situation is quite acceptable.
Although the Justice Pirates do not have defensive devices such as exposed cups, the hulls were urgently installed and covered with a layer of crystal glue.
This is thanks to three chubby blue ball repairmen and several basic repairman puppets.
The fishman boy thought for a moment and ordered the golden cannon to be activated.
The bombardment captain Xiaoniao received this order and took immediate action to conduct the attack himself.
For a time, the black iron-level mana pool continued to infuse mana, and the golden cannon gradually bloomed with dazzling brilliance.
“The fluctuation of the gold-level cannon has been detected! The initial predicted position is the right side of the enemy’s black iron magic ship.” On the other side, Major General Qiao Qiao quickly obtained the information.
Major General Qiao Qiao frowned slightly: "The enemy ship is not of a high level, so there is no need to dodge. We will still pursue it at full speed."
Only when gold-level cannons are mounted on gold-level magic ships can they fully demonstrate their true combat power.
The mana supplied by the black iron mana ship is difficult to fill in a short time to meet the firing standards of the cannon.
Major General Qiao’s tactics are very clear. He chooses to resist with a naked cup, so as to catch up with the Justice Pirates’ ship and engage in a boarding battle!
ps: A 5000-word chapter, the overhaul was successful this month, and the update was also successful! Yay!
