Chapter 588 The protagonist's halo is not omnipotent
"Hey, Dire, don't we need to help those men in black? If this continues, they will be killed by the protagonist and the Americans."
Seeing "O'Connor" killing everyone with the aura of being an unscientific protagonist, the red cactus began to worry about these men in black.
"No, these men in black are not ordinary gangsters, but the descendants of the Pharaoh's guards who guarded "Hamna Tower". There are quite a lot of them. Even if the people on the boat you see in front of you are dead, they are still
Their huge number is just a drop in the bucket and will not affect the subsequent plot development."
However, the target of the man in black was not anyone on the ship from the beginning, but the map and key of "Hamna Tower" in the hands of the heroine "Evelyn". After the robbery plan failed, he did not hesitate to set fire to all parts of the ship.
, the entire passenger ship soon turned into a huge torch floating on the river.
"Damn it! The fire is too big and we can't save it! Jump off the ship quickly!"
"O'Connor" fired while retreating, his eyes reddened by the smoke of gunpowder, and shouted to "Evelyn" behind him.
"Evelin", who was only wearing a white nightgown, was in a dilemma: "But...but my luggage is still in the cabin, which contains not only my archaeological tools, but also all my clothes!"
"I've never seen a woman like you. What's more important, clothes or life?"
"O'Connor" stopped talking nonsense to "Evelyn" and directly picked her up with both arms and roughly threw her off the side of the ship.
The fire on the ship was getting bigger and bigger. The men in black and the crew had no longer bothered to attack each other and jumped off the ship to escape. The water around the passenger ship was densely packed with human heads, and they were all struggling to swim to the shore.
Suddenly, someone on the river let out a shrill scream, and the churning water quickly turned dark red like blood.
One, two, three...
As more and more people screamed, someone finally reacted.
"Be careful! There are crocodiles underwater!"
Luo Jie's face changed slightly when he heard this. Sure enough, the EX items were not that easy to get.
There were no crocodiles in the river in the original book. Apart from a few sips of Nile water, the protagonist and his party encountered no danger at all.
This is obviously a difficulty level specially added by the system for the player who accepts the mission. Luo Jie is sure that if he does not come to the rescue at this moment, "O'Connor"'s protagonist will still have to become fish fodder no matter how great his aura is.
"I'll stop those crocodiles, and you go rescue people!"
Time was running out, and Luo Jie had no time to tell the two of them in more detail, so he immediately kicked off the burning guardrail of the boat and jumped into the river.
The Nile River is quiet and cold at night, and the world that should have been dark is now illuminated red by the firelight on the river.
Against the bright background distorted by refraction, countless debris are suspended in the water, and the struggle of people and animals stirs the water, making the underwater sounds extremely noisy.
[Mosasaurus Skeleton Pendant] gives Luo Jie the natural water quality like a fish. Not only will it not be affected by any movement in the cold river water, it is even more comfortable and stable than on land.
An invisible ultrasonic wave radiated out in all directions, and the feedback reflection immediately presented an outline image like a three-dimensional modeling line in his visual projection.
Probably feeling the unusual vibrations in the river, a group of crocodiles living nearby were gathering from all directions towards the location of the passenger ship. There were already more than a dozen surrounding the passenger ship.
Luo Jie took out the sword-shaped [Lucifer] from the storage space. The active skill "Ocean Overlord" that came with the pendant immediately enveloped the surrounding crocodiles with mental coercion.
However, perhaps the ferocious habits and population size weakened the effect of the skill. The hundreds of crocodiles only hesitated for a few seconds before breaking free from the control of the mental pressure.
"Will this skill's effectiveness against advanced predators be seriously reduced..."
Since he could not directly disperse the crocodile group, Luo Jie simply changed his battle plan and used the "Ocean Overlord" skill to forcibly control ten of the adult crocodiles, then turned around and started biting those companions who attacked those who fell into the water.
Although creatures like crocodiles know how to cooperate in hunting, they have no sense of companionship.
Although these ten crocodiles suddenly attacked and stunned the predatory crocodile group, the crocodile group quickly reacted and began to attack these two or five crocodiles who were going crazy for some unknown reason.
Naturally, Luo Jie would not just watch this temporarily captured strong man die in vain. The big sword [Lucifer] in his hand shot out six long sword-like flying knives towards the crocodiles, dragging six bright flames on the bottom of the river.
, quickly shuttled among the dense group of crocodiles, and countless crocodiles had their bellies opened from below before they had time to react. The blood and internal organs dyed the river water scarlet, attracting countless river fish to compete for food.
