Chapter 667: War of Faith (11)
I said I was going to take a look, but I didn't mean to join in the fun.
The main thing is that this [Shelang] sounds a bit wrong.
Tomb robbing can be considered as one of Bai Jinshu's "old professions". The identity of Wu Zongzi is something he has known for a long time, and he only used it once during the assessment to enter a special space. According to common sense, he should have no intersection with this temporarily chosen identity.
——If no one had noticed that Wu Zongzi had disappeared.
In fact, if he had not discovered Wu Zongzi's disappearance, he would not appear in the unknown space of [War of Faith] now.
According to Wu Zongzi's experience and common sense, all underwater tombs that are deep enough must have been on land when they were built, and must have sunk to the bottom of the water as the water level rose over the years.
After all, you can't ask a group of craftsmen to build a tomb for you while holding their breath. This is somewhat inhumane.
Since the tomb was built on land, it means that after it sank to the bottom of the water, the difficulty of stealing would inevitably increase exponentially. Even in modern times, carrying enough equipment and oxygen cylinders could still cause trouble, not to mention that this place is still in the Middle Ages.
An ordinary person who has been trained can only hold his breath for three or four minutes at most. If he has been doing this since childhood, he may be able to hold his breath for about five or six minutes. Even the current Guinness World Record holder can only hold his breath for ten minutes.
This amount of time is not even enough to walk back and forth, not to mention that there are usually many mechanisms in the tomb. The mortality rate of this line of work is estimated to be extremely high.
"May the tomb robbers always return with a full load..." Bai Jinshu and Huai Jiamu bought a boat from the small village where they had settled before, and are now on the water. "What did you say his authority became?"
【Test 1: Sinking boat.】
"Sunken Boat..." Bai Jinshu tapped the side of the boat thoughtfully, then turned to look at Huai Jiamu, "This name doesn't match the tomb robbery? Could it be a smokescreen deliberately released by the other party?"
"What do you mean?" Huai Jiamu turned his head.
Bai Jinshu shrugged. "If [Shelang] can ensure that tomb robbers return safely with a full load every time, then it means that his authority must guarantee the safety of divers, otherwise all his efforts will be in vain."
This is a very easy to understand logic. Tomb robbing is a profession with a very high mortality rate. If all the people die, there will be nothing left. [Shelang]'s short-term goal is to attract as many believers as possible, so he cannot let believers die. In other words, his authority must guarantee the safety of believers.
As Bai Jinshu spoke, he drew a circle in the air with his hand and explained to Test 1 in the live broadcast room, "There are many ways to ensure the safety of divers, such as emptying the air in the tomb for the tomb robber to create a cavity, or strengthening the opponent's body to increase his breath holding time... No matter which one, it should have little to do with the authority of Shen Zhou."
The name sounds more like some kind of smokescreen to cover up his true abilities.
And regardless of whether it is a smokescreen or not, the change of power shows that his ability is not limited to [Shelang]. Maybe he can even fight against the Shanghai God directly.
"It's also possible that he's using the tomb robbery as a smokescreen," Huai Jiamu thought for a moment and continued, "The tides are related to the power of the God of Fertility and the sea. He may be using this as a cover to secretly do something in the sea."
Then I have to go on this trip.
If the opponent can kill the Sea God with this trick, then they can reap the benefits when both sides are defeated. If not, it will also greatly weaken the Sea God's strength. No matter what the result is, it is good for them who are hiding behind the scenes.
The fear is... they are not the only ones planning this.
[Test 1: I understand. We will have someone use the room management number to keep an eye on his live broadcast room.]
[Test 1: Senior, what if the other party really has no plans? Should we attack other participants so early? ]
“It’s hard to say. Maybe it won’t even be our turn to take action.” The false god shook his head and sighed twice. “Who knows if there are other more powerful participants waiting to take advantage of the situation? This is where a war between gods is about to break out.”
The only advantage of the Gu Kings in the organization is that they can understand things very quickly.
[Test 1: Do we need to pay more attention to other people who may also be contestants? ]
"Thank you very much," Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows, "Please inform us if there is any new development."
His eyes slowly turned toward the calm blue water outside the window: "Before that, let's meet the followers of Shelter Wave first."
*
Late at night, in the silence southeast of Hydrania.
A boat without lights on was floating silently on the sea, swaying up and down with the waves.
"Baines, are you sure this is the place?" The man, who was wrapped in several scarves, looked at the dark sea around him, swallowed nervously and asked.
"The returning ships of this season may land here. I have lived here for more than ten years. I can't be wrong," the man he called Baines replied nonchalantly. "Besides, if you don't believe me, don't you believe in God?"
"God..." the turbaned man muttered in a low voice, "Is there really a god who blesses this business? Don't lie to me..."
"You're lying, you don't have much money in your pocket, why would I lie to you? What on this ship isn't prepared by me? Do you have a copper coin to offer?" Baines spat at the sea water and rudely pulled off the turbaned man's face. "Why are you still wearing this in the middle of the night? There's no other ship within a few miles around, who would see what you look like!"
As he pulled off the scarf, the boat swayed from side to side. The scarf-wrapped man on the boat hurriedly reached out to hold the side of the boat to avoid falling into the water, revealing an exceptionally young face.
The owner of the face had no time to hold on to the scarf, so he could only explain anxiously: "I'm just worried. If someone finds out that I'm here at night... then I won't be able to stay in the village anymore..."
Baines said indifferently: "Don't think too much, who would go out to sea at this time..."
He stopped talking suddenly before he finished speaking.
"What, what happened?" The young man in the turban raised his head.
"The sound of water." Baines looked in one direction, his face darkening instantly. "A ship is coming."
Without taking care of his companions who were frantically trying to wrap themselves up again, Baines took out the oars on the boat and started to retreat in the opposite direction.
The reason why they chose to act at night was because what they were about to do was not very glorious. If they were seen by someone and their faces were recognized, what they would have to face during the day would not just be the dissatisfaction of the villagers.
Just when he was trying to escape from here in a hurry, a frivolous voice suddenly came from the opposite boat.
"Hey, friends on that boat," the owner of the voice had already spotted them, "Why are you running?"
The person who spoke was Bai Jinshu.
Late at night, on a small boat, he and Huai Jiamu didn't come to the sea for a cruise because they couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
To be more precise, they came here on purpose to "accidentally" encounter these two people.
"It's over, it's over, we've been discovered," the young man with a turban squatted on the boat, holding the turban tightly on his face with both hands, muttering softly and shaking like a sieve, "If I had known I wouldn't have come out with you tonight, I didn't intend to do this job in the first place, but now it's gone, both of us are going to be discovered, both of us are going to die, both of us are going to be caught by the noble lord..."
He muttered to himself as he turned his head to look at the side of the boat, then suddenly stood up and was about to jump into the sea to escape.
"What are you crazy about?!" Fortunately, the next second, Baines next to him grabbed him.
"Don't you know how far this place is from the shore? Will you survive if you jump in?" He gritted his teeth and stared at the young man in the turban for a long time, "Want to escape? I tell you, you are on my boat tonight. If I get caught, don't even think about running away. Sit down."
"You're still sailing outside at this time. I don't think the people on the opposite boat are good people." He used his eyes to force the man in the turban to sit down, turned around and pulled out a pair of long knives from the bag beside him. "This place is far from the shore and it's the end of the returning tide. Even if one or two people die, I think no one will notice... As long as you don't tell anyone about what happened tonight, no one will know we were here."
“Did you hear that?!”
After not getting a response for a long time, he turned to look at the young man in a turban next to him, but only saw him looking behind him with fear.
"What are you looking at?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Baines suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.
"You want to kill us?" The owner of the hand asked with interest, "Was it because I was not friendly enough when I took the initiative to greet you just now?"
The person who just greeted them on that boat!
Baines suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over him from head to toe, and his whole body was as if frozen, not daring to move.
Wasn't the boat far away from them just now? How did this man suddenly move to his boat? Why didn't he hear any sound of water?
The person behind him didn't seem to realize his stiffness, and tapped his shoulder with his finger in confusion: "Could it be that I look fierce and evil? It's obviously you two who look more like desperadoes, right?"
The young man in the turban couldn't help but shift his gaze to the man's face.
To be fair, he was not ugly. He was even more handsome than he could imagine. He did not look like a commoner. Such noble pearls could not grow in the barren land and violent waves of Hydrania.
But if he's not fierce...
The young man in the turban couldn't help but shiver.
In such a dark night when everything was shrouded in darkness, the man who suddenly appeared on their ship was no different from a devil.
The water waves were shaking, and the three people on the boat were shaking with it. Baines was speechless and didn't dare to look back. Only the young man in a turban sitting on the side of the boat bravely looked at the newcomer, fearfully evaluating whether he would throw himself off the boat in the next second.
As the two people standing there swayed in the ups and downs of the water, the young man in the turban suddenly seemed to see something and trembled violently.
Wait...wait a moment.
He held his head and looked cautiously behind the noble demon.
Wait a moment! ! !
The turbaned young man began to scream wildly in his heart.
Why is there a person hiding in the darkness and staring at this terrifying demon?
