Chapter 161 What is He to You?
"Look here," Uesugi Asuka raised her eyebrows and looked toward the left window of the train, "It seems there is another one."
At the same time, the sea surface not far to the left of the train burst open.
“Bang!”
Immediately afterwards, an identical giant red whale emerged from the deep sea, and two red whales roared and came from both sides, determined to destroy the train.
The train was moving very fast, but the two red whales were chasing it relentlessly, rushing violently in the ocean - their target was the five people in carriage No. 9, and they seemed to be craving the delicious taste of human flesh and blood.
At this moment, seeing the two red whales getting closer and closer, Anson Deer unfolded the chessboard. A thin black line cut through the sea surface, and the misty night atmosphere swept over, covering an area of forty meters in radius.
The old chess player chose to unfold the "Night Chessboard" - this is the chessboard that Anson Lu drew in the high-end lottery opportunity. The effect is that as long as this chessboard is released at night, all chess types on the chessboard can get a 10% damage bonus.
"Let's deal with the one on the left." Asuka and Chu Qimo looked at each other and reached a consensus instantly.
"Then we'll be responsible for the right side." Anson Deer shrugged and walked towards the giant whale on the right with Yuri.
"I'll take action depending on the situation." Urushihara Ritsu smiled, "Well, but it seems there's no need for me to be there."
"A full set of Blue Flame Stone Statue, Alien Owl, Adaptive Device V1594, and Grey Shadow are deployed on the top of the carriage." Anson Lu spoke very quickly: "Alien Owl, aim at the Red Whale and use skills - lock on the target!"
[Other Dimension Owl's skill: Locking on the target (increases the damage a target receives in the next five seconds by 15%)]
The next moment, a blue and white mechanical owl appeared in the sky, with data flowing at high speed in its eyes, analyzing the red whale's weaknesses, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the giant monster at any time.
[Red Whale has been locked and is in a "vulnerable" state (+15% damage)]
At the same time, accompanied by a sound of horse hooves that drowned the world, the entire set of chess pieces of the Qingyan chess group appeared one after another above the brightly lit train. Under the moonlight, they looked awe-inspiring.
“Ouch!”
One black and one gray, two little Vs jumped up from Anson's deer's shoulders, turned into dark metal parts, and embedded into the king's stone statue's cane.
"roar--!!!"
At this moment, the red whale leaped out of the sea, bringing with it a huge wave, and crashed towards the train with unstoppable force.
"Frozen for two seconds." Yuri turned his cheek.
As the emotionless words fell, the giant whale that was roaring and rushing towards the train, its huge body suddenly froze for two seconds, and thousands of layers of overlapping ice dust covered every inch of its skin.
The waves it splashed also condensed into ice and remained in mid-air.
"I understand." Anson Deer looked at the giant whale and said, "Sacrifice the bishop, knights, stone statues of soldiers, and the stone statue of the king, and use the skill - Blue Rainbow King Flash - on the red whale!"
In an instant, a violent green beam of light shot out from the top of the king's stone statue's scepter, roaring and raging towards the ice whale that was frozen in mid-air with an extremely violent attitude.
Qinghong Wang Flash has always been a continuous output skill. If the enemy takes the full three seconds of output, the damage caused is absolutely incalculable.
Not to mention, the Red Whale was affected by the alien owl's skill - 'Lock on Target', and entered a vulnerable state; and, with the attachment bonus of the two small Vs, the attribute values of the King Statue were greatly improved.
Finally, there's the 10% damage bonus from the Nightfall board.
“Bang!”
The thermophilic green light roared in the sky above the deep ocean. In just three seconds, it blasted the frozen red whale into pieces, and thousands of ice chips flew in the Pacific sky.
"Oh wow, the damage is higher than I thought. I thought the Queen's statue would have to deal a finishing blow." Anson Lu was a little surprised.
"Freezing it will increase the damage it takes."
"So that's how it is." Anson Deer suddenly realized, "With the owl's lock target, plus the freezing effect you gave it, it's not surprising that this little boss was killed in seconds."
[A legendary monster 'Red Whale' has been killed. Players who participated in the battle will receive 2000 Evolution Coins, 3000 Experience Points, and 5 dorsal fins of the Red Whale (legendary material).]
After they dealt with the red whale, the two turned around and looked towards Asuka leisurely.
They were not worried at all that Asuka and Chu Qimo would lose to the red whale.
The possibility of this happening is very slim.
Even if the red whale swallowed Asuka in one gulp, this hot-tempered red dragon would be able to rush out of the whale's belly with its fangs and claws bared and tear its skin apart.
Moreover, the crow is still waiting nearby.
If any emergency really occurs, he will definitely take action at the first time - this man seems to be staying in the middle of the carriage, but in fact he is observing the situation on both sides so that he can provide support in case of an unexpected battle situation at the first time.
Anson Deer turned his head and looked to the left side of the carriage. Through the open window, he could see a red dragon soaring in the air.
Chu Qimo stood on the back of the red dragon and jumped down with An Qiong in the form of a heavy sword.
In mid-air, he released a sequence skill that Anson Lu had never seen before - Dark Sky Cross Slash (the second sequence skill unique to the 'heavy sword form', which slashed a cross-shaped shock wave forward).
“Huff—!”
Teacher Chu's coat fluttered in the wind. He held the huge black sword in both hands and slashed out two dark sword lights in succession. The sword lights intertwined with each other in a criss-cross pattern, forming a huge cross shock wave.
"roar!"
The black blade light swept towards the giant whale, tearing its skin and leaving a groove.
At this moment, Urushihara Ryu stretched out his index finger, and two crows flew out: one flew towards Chu Qimo who was about to fall into the sea; the other landed inside the carriage, quietly waiting for instructions.
The next second, along with the crow approaching Chu Qimo and the crow inside the carriage, which turned into black feathers, he appeared in the carriage and stood next to Urushihara Ritsu.
Urushihara Ritsu said jokingly, "It won't get you soaked."
"Thank you." Chu Qimo said.
At the same time, the red dragon folded its wings and fell from the sky at the speed of lightning. Its claws were covered with a violent flame, and then it slashed straight towards the body of the giant whale.
Even the rising tide could not swallow the violent red flames. Under the raging fire, the giant whale's thirty-foot-long body was completely split in half from head to tail.
It roared and fell towards the Pacific Ocean. Its body, which split into seventy, eighty or ninety pieces, splashed into the sea, creating a huge wave, and the remaining health points were instantly reduced to zero.
"The improvements to the second-level Crimson Dragon Wings and the second-level Dark Sky Sword seem to be significant." Anson Lu sighed, feeling a bit like his child had grown up.
Urushihara Ritsu smiled and said, "Yes, especially Asuka, her fighting ability has been further improved."
"So what is your role?" Anson Lu looked at him with disdain.
Yuri had already shown off her skills in the battle in Seoul, and it was said that she had many more skills hidden; Chu Qimo and Asuka also showed a glimpse of their second-order sequence power in the battle just now.
Only Urushihara Ritsu has not yet demonstrated the new sequence of skills after reaching the second level.
This gambler from Tokyo, every time he was supposed to fight, he would either slack off or only make a magical move at the most critical moment, as if he was completely unwilling to get involved in those mediocre battles.
"Lu Jun." Urushihara Ritsu said seriously, "My role is to prevent you from falling into the sea and leave a way out for you. Isn't that enough?"
"Okay, okay, you're right. Remember to show me what your sequence equipment is tomorrow."
"When the occasion is right, I will take action."
"roll."
On the sea, the scarlet young dragon flapped its wings and flew towards the brightly lit train.
When it approached the outer edge of the car, it changed into a human form and grabbed the edge of the window with both hands. I don't know if it was the murderer in the sea. The howling wind blew on her body, making her afraid to let go.
Asuka Uesugi was shivering in the cold wind. She frowned and looked through Chu Qimo and Urushihara Ritsu to Anson Lu inside the carriage.
"Hey, can anyone pick me up?" she asked.
Yuri was leaning against the wall with her hands behind her back. When she heard Asuka's call, she turned her head, took two or three steps towards the car window, and stretched out her sickly white hand to Asuka.
Asuka Uesugi was stunned for a moment. The cold sea breeze made her cheeks sting a little. She took Yuri's cold hand in a trance.
Yuri held Asuka's hand and pulled her back with a little force. Asuka's slender body slipped through the open window and returned to car number nine.
She put on her coat and raised her lips, "Thanks."
"You're welcome." Yuri let go.
At this moment, Asuka Uesugi frowned, and turned her pretty face to look at Anson Lu, who was talking to Urushihara Ritsu and didn't notice his teammate who was stuck outside the car window.
"So, what exactly is your sequence equipment?!" Anson Deer glared at Crow angrily.
"Mr. Lu, please be patient. The answer will be revealed one day."
"Riddler, get the hell out of Hell's Beacon."
"President, since Crow refuses to speak, let's not force him," Chu Qimo said, and put the Dark Sky Sword into his sword bag.
“Come on, we’re not sure if there will be any monsters next, but you’ve already put away your sword, Mr. Chu.” Anson Lu cursed, “You two are really in the same group, right? I knew that people like Crow who were brought into the guild were not good people!”
"Lu Jun, if monsters of this level come in one night, then what we are doing is not just a two-star difficulty dungeon." Urushihara Ritsu took a sip of coffee that came from nowhere, "Besides, this is only the first stage, the difficulty won't be too high."
"No matter how difficult it is, you have already entered the dungeon. You must report your skills and equipment quickly. Otherwise, how can your Deer Guild Leader give you orders?" Anson Deer hugged his shoulders and said seriously:
"You know, the little cyber giant from the law enforcement team and that Kamishiro Sakurato also told me their skills before they fought the boss. As one of their own, you are still acting as a riddler here, right?"
"I give up." Asuka Uesugi put one hand on her waist and sighed softly.
Even though she was still left at sea, this group of people had already started arguing about the sequence equipment. Anson Lu was not worried at all that she would not be able to come back, even though the train was moving very fast.
However, when she saw Anson Lu's angry and flushed face, she couldn't help but chuckled while holding her stomach.
For some reason, every time she saw Anson the Deer being tortured by crows, she would find it very funny and think in her heart that this guy was quite cute.
"They just trust you and think you will definitely come back." Yuri took out a book from the luggage space.
Asuka was stunned, "Well, actually I know that too, I just feel really angry. Thank you, Yuri."
"It's okay," Yuri paused, "We are friends."
"Before, I thought you didn't like me very much. We haven't said much to each other."
"Nothing."
“That’s right.”
"I'll go to the sleeper car first." Chu Qimo approached, "Cars 22 and 23 are sleeper cars. If you want to rest, go to car 22."
As if he was afraid that Asuka might misunderstand him, he added, "The president, Crow, and I will rest in carriage 23."
"Okay, I understand, Teacher Chu." Asuka nodded.
She thought that Teacher Chu was quite considerate. If it were Anson Lu, she wouldn't care about the issue of separate dormitories for men and women, let alone remind them of the locations of the sleeper cars. She would probably have just fallen asleep.
"I said, you don't have to call me teacher." Chu Qimo turned and left.
Anson Deer put his arm around Crow's shoulder and said, "Let's go to the gambling car and play card games. If you lose, report your sequence equipment and new sequence skills to me immediately."
"Of course, Lu-kun." Urushihara Ritsu said jokingly, "But you have to be determined to challenge me without sleeping for three days and three nights."
After the two finished talking, they walked towards the gambling car.
Every carriage of the train is illuminated by incandescent lights, so it is not too dark. Moreover, the NPCs in each carriage are available all day long, so there is no problem playing until late.
Asuka Uesugi hugged her shoulders and watched the deer and crow leave.
She turned her head and looked out the window. Her long brown hair fluttered in the sea breeze, and the moonlight gently kissed her beautiful face.
At night on the sea, this brightly lit train is like a mobile lighthouse, shaking off the ice floes on the edge of the track and rumbling forward in the dark ocean.
After Chu Qimo, Crow and Anson Lu left, only Yuri and Asuka were left in the carriage.
"Are we going to bed?" Asuka came back to her senses from the view outside the window.
"Wait a minute, read a book for a while."
"Well, I'll accompany you. It's a good opportunity to see the scenery. I was busy walking around the carriage before. The Pacific Ocean is quite beautiful."
"good."
The light of the incandescent lamp enveloped the cheeks of the two girls. The groans and growls of the underwater monsters and the roar of the sea breeze faded a lot under the rumbling sound of the engine.
"To you." Yuri leaned against the wall and turned the pages of the book. "What is he?"
"Huh?" Asuka Uesugi was stunned for a moment. She seldom talked to Yuri, mainly because the Icelandic girl spoke too little. Whenever they were together, she was either reading a book or playing a handheld game console.
She actually approached me to talk? Asuka thought.
"Anson Deer, is he your friend?" Yuri asked again.
"yes."
"The relationship above friends is family?"
Asuka sighed softly, feeling that this Icelandic girl really lacked common sense.
After a moment of silence, she put her hand on her chin and explained seriously: "Besides family, there are many other kinds, such as lovers."
"Lover?"
"Yeah, it's just a man and a woman who like each other." Asuka snorted, "Oh, but boys and boys are also OK. Let me tell you, I seriously suspect that our president has a crush on Crow."
"He likes men?"
"Ha, I'm just kidding." Asuka couldn't fool him anymore, "By the way, do you understand what 'like' means?"
"I've read about it in books, but I may not have such emotions."
"That's true." Asuka nodded. She remembered some of Yuri's symptoms of emotional deficiency, although not all.
"I don't seem to understand him at all," the Icelandic girl said softly, her fingers pausing as she turned the pages of the book. The cool sea breeze blew in through the window, ruffling her snow-white hair.
Uesugi Asuka hugged her elbows and was silent for a long time. Suddenly she asked, "Do you really want to know him?"
"Um."
"Do you know what he was like in the past?"
"have no idea."
"I can tell you, he told me." Asuka Uesugi lowered her eyes, with a hint of loneliness in her eyes, "Well, actually this guy is quite pitiful, in many ways."
Please give me a monthly ticket.
