Chapter 101 Four Updates in One
The sharks looked at the knocked-out boss shark and were suddenly at a loss, especially the culprit. The whole shark group was dumbfounded. This was not what everyone had planned! If they accidentally hurt the boss, wouldn’t it be in big trouble?
But Yu Zhu was intact, which made them feel the enemy's insidiousness and difficulty. They could not attack rashly for fear of hitting it again. If the BOSS hit them again, they would not be able to wash themselves clean even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
Fortunately, BOSS Shark was not unconscious for too long, only about a minute. The seemingly short 60 seconds was enough for Yu Zhu to do a lot of things. She tied herself to the metal spear with a rope and took out a fresh kitchen knife.
This knife was originally bought to cut roasted wild boar, but someone met a giant shark with an impatient temper who came to her to test the knife, and the shark took advantage of the knife.
BOSS Shark:?
This is a bargain for you, do you want it?
Even though Yu Zhu's attack was very "gentle", the BOSS Shark was still awakened early by the pain. It was not a heart-wrenching pain, but a dense, stabbing pain like needles. If it had not lived in the sea for many years and had never seen the world, and did not know that there was such a thing as a "tattoo", it would have suddenly realized it.
At this time, the BOSS shark had not yet noticed the specific changes in its body. As consciousness gradually recovered, the whole shark turned over and was no longer in the belly-up position. Instinct drove it to swim above the sea.
As it moved forward, it smelled a familiar scent of blood. The strong scent made it excited, but then it felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the smell. The closer it smelled, the more it got, but there was no sign of its prey.
BOSS Shark:?
Why does the source of this bloody fragrance seem to be on my body?
It immediately spun its tail and finally saw the current situation clearly.
Oh my god, it's actually its blood, no wonder it smells so good :)
The sight of being injured stimulated its sense of pain, and the BOSS Shark felt uncomfortable all over, and the pain went from a little to extreme pain.
It bared its teeth, its body covered in blood mist, its skin torn and flesh exposed, with large, regularly spaced knife marks all over it. In some places, the bone was visible. These were all Yu Zhu's masterpieces.
As a new tattoo artist in the sea, his knife skills are quite precise, and you can see that he has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Yu Zhu originally didn't want to be too rough, but because the client was too big and he didn't have any professional equipment, he had to use other props. A kitchen knife was very convenient to use. He just had to cut the knife into the animal's body, and then cut from the beginning to the end, repeating similar actions to increase the completion of the pattern (wound area).
This made the BOSS Shark's originally blank mind completely calm down under the continuous influence of its own wounds and blood. It carefully recalled what had just happened and finally understood what was going on.
The moment it sank into the sea, the boss shark gave orders to its minions to find a way to get the prey off its head. So, what did they do? They actually knocked it unconscious! What a bunch of idiots!
If it didn't trust them enough, how could it be knocked unconscious so easily? It would lose all its face!
Thinking of this, BOSS Shark subconsciously wanted to turn around and bite the "rebellious" shark, but he didn't even see half of the shark's tail.
That's right, the bull shark has deeply realized that it has caused a big disaster. It knows that the boss shark will never let it go. After thinking about it, it decides to take a step forward. It is better to keep the green mountains, and it is not afraid of running out of firewood. In another sea area, it will be a good shark again.
The culprit not only ran away secretly, but also kidnapped several bull sharks with middle-parted hairstyles and gap-toothed bodies. In the BOSS's waters, trash is never allowed to exist. Even if they are injured in battle, it cannot change the fact that they are weak. Instead of staying and waiting to be expelled, it is better to recognize it as the boss and explore new waters together.
It was probably just a moment of stunned silence when the sharks discovered that their team members had been reduced by half. Not counting the boss shark, there were originally 7 bull sharks, 3 of which were injured and 1 caused trouble. A total of 4 sharks all ran away, leaving only the last 3.
The remaining bull sharks looked at each other, unsure what to do. Rebellion was out of the question. The gap between them and the boss was enormous. Even if the boss shark was injured, they could easily kill it. They didn't even dare to think about seizing power. Furthermore, there was a troublesome human lording it over the boss. They couldn't defeat either of them. The only solution they could come up with was to knock the boss unconscious. Their future was uncertain. Should they also run away? Perhaps they could catch up with the sharks ahead.
So, the BOSS Shark looked around carefully and saw three bull sharks that were almost hundreds of miles away. The sharks that could fight until now had some brains, while those without brains had become cannon fodder and were killed by Yu Zhu after their mindless charge.
BOSS Sharks: A group of useless sharks that are more likely to cause trouble than to do good.
It could only rely on its own strength to swim quickly in the sea, trying to throw Yu Zhu off its body. She was like a barnacle parasitic on various creatures in the sea, making it painful and uncomfortable, and it wished to tear her apart alive.
Originally, sharks would not be parasitized by barnacles. Their skin is very tight, smooth and strong. In addition, their swimming speed is fast enough to effectively wash off the barnacles on their bodies. They have never encountered this trouble before, but now with Yu Zhu's presence, they can truly feel the pain of barnacles.
The three bull sharks that had tried to escape in the surrounding area finally joined the battle together. They were indeed very powerful. It seemed that they wanted to make their stance clear to the BOSS shark. They directly showed the posture of fighting with her to the death. As a result, they were all killed without a doubt. Yu Zhu's difficulty index was raised to the maximum.
BOSS Shark: Damn, I can’t get rid of it, I can’t get rid of it at all!
If Yu Zhu was not sure how deep the sea was, she could have cut off its fins while it was unconscious, but the fish was too big and she did not have enough time.
A shark's dorsal fin and ventral fins both play a role in propulsion and balance, and the tail fin determines the direction of swimming. Without fins, it is difficult for the shark to maintain balance in the sea, and it can no longer swim and forage normally. It is equivalent to losing the ability to survive and can only sink to the bottom of the sea until it starves to death.
It seems that cutting off its fins is the most convenient option, but the shark will not die immediately after sinking to the bottom. Looking at its huge body, it is estimated that it will not die even if it starves for a month, and it will bleed for a long time. Yu Zhu will never let go easily before completely killing it and getting the reward. The pressure on the seabed is definitely greater than here, and it is unknown whether there are other dangerous creatures.
It would be better to be like this now, which has achieved the effect of reducing its speed without completely destroying it. The more violently it struggles, the more the wound bleeds. The sea area it is currently in is not very deep, so there is no need to worry about any emergencies. It is very stable.
Everything is just like fighting a BOSS in a game dungeon. The player's combat power is often not enough to kill the boss with one blow. It is necessary to constantly control the character to move around and slowly wear down the BOSS's health bar. However, Yu Zhu simply saved the trouble of moving around and settled directly on the BOSS's shark head.
This was also the tactic that Yu Zhu had thought of at the beginning. Facing a BOSS of this size, there was no way to fight it head-on. Their attack power was quite amazing, but it also had disadvantages. With only fins and no arms, they could not deal with enemies attached to themselves.
This was also what Yu Zhu did when she fought a shark for the first time. At that time, it was still a mid-level shark, and there were no other sharks attacking it. She caught the shark and did not let it go, and gave it another beating. This time it would be even more dangerous, and she had to be able to withstand the full speed of the high-level shark.
I guess the BOSS shark didn't expect that it couldn't get rid of a small human. It underestimated Yu Zhu and underestimated human perseverance.
Yu Zhu was like a ruthless knife-swinging machine, constantly inflicting wounds. High-level BOSSes had very strong recovery abilities, and she had to keep finishing them off to make them lose blood continuously. She swung her arms over a thousand times, almost stabbing the shark into a sieve.
An unknown amount of time passed, perhaps because she was in the sea, but she felt that time was passing particularly slowly. She held the rope in one hand and swung the knife with the other, repeating the mechanical movements. When she got tired, she switched hands. Even so, her arms were inevitably sore and numb. In the end, she had no feeling anymore, but she still didn't give up. This was destined to be a protracted battle. Whoever gave up first would die.
If you could see the boss's health, you'd notice the huge health bar was changing every second: -100, -100, +50, -100...
The shark's efforts were gradually weakening. It seemed as if it knew that it was useless to do so. Its minions were all escaping or dying. It could only rely on itself, but it was difficult to change the current situation.
His body became heavier and heavier, his swimming speed slowed down visibly, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and all his strength was drained away.
Until the BOSS shark was completely unable to move, it slowly sank to the depths of the sea with Yu Zhu.
Yu Zhu still didn't stop her actions. She hadn't heard the game announcement yet, so she reasonably suspected that the BOSS Shark was pretending to be dead.
It is the boss of this sea area. Even if it is covered in blood mist, no fish dare to approach it without permission. Only when it is really dead will fish come forward to share the food. After all, the corpse has no say.
But if you want to pretend to be dead...
It’s better to pretend to be dead, but it’s better to pretend for a long time.
When the BOSS shark swam quickly, Yu Zhu not only had to endure the sea pressure, but also had to resist the resistance brought by its advance. But it was different when she pretended to be dead. It was equivalent to having no resistance, and she had long been accustomed to the remaining sea pressure. It became easier for her subordinates to attack, causing her to chop more vigorously.
Compared with before, the number of surgeries in the same amount of time has doubled.
BOSS Shark gritted his teeth and endured for ten minutes. He wanted to throw Yu Zhu off when she let her guard down, but she showed no intention of resting, and he was almost hacked to death.
It couldn't bear it any longer, and with a shark-like somersault, it started moving again. Damn, how could you chop after you've already chopped me? Is there any humanity left? Doesn't she get tired?
Seeing that BOSS Shark had indeed "resurrected", Yu Zhu was not surprised at all. We are all thousand-year-old foxes, why is there any need to play Liao Zhai here? It's so easy.
Next, it struggled desperately again, then slowly became powerless and sank again with Yu Zhu. This scene looked so familiar, just like a script that had just been performed.
Unexpectedly, it was also an acting queen. Yu Zhu didn't care anyway, so she mercifully accompanied it to perform again to fulfill its last wish. The BOSS Shark did this over and over again, pretending to be dead and getting up again.
When a similar scene was performed for the tenth time, the situation took a turn for the better. This time, the BOSS shark had not moved for more than 20 minutes.
Yu Zhu's men continued to attack. Objectively speaking, he is worthy of being the BOSS, and even his acting skills are getting more and more sophisticated.
game:……?
Are you sure it's not dead? Perhaps Boss Shark didn't expect that in this most familiar sea area, he would be the one to lose.
Its originally smooth skin was now covered with cut marks, and its original appearance could no longer be seen. It was sleepy and tired, and had no strength left. Even the wounds could no longer stimulate it. It just wanted to take a nap.
I never woke up from this sleep.
In the end, the battle lasted for a full three hours and ended just before the sun set.
There were at least thousands of wounds on the BOSS shark's body, as if it had been dissected alive. Although the truth was not much different, for such a big shark, it still died from excessive blood loss and serious injuries that could not be healed.
Game: What a miserable high-level BOSS.
As time went by, Yugi was initially worried about Yu Zhu, but then he realized… he should worry about himself. There were so many shark carcasses waiting for him to clean up. How could this be a day off? It was busier than a workday! Even the King of Rolls shook his head.
When the BOSS shark under him turned into a dot of light and completely disappeared from his sight, Yu Zhu was sure that it was really dead.
The corpse is recycled and decomposed by the game team, and replaced by a golden treasure chest.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain. Yu Zhu quickly reached out to take it, put the treasure chest into the inventory, and put it back together with the weapon.
She remembered that the three treasure chests opened on the intermediate island a few days ago were all silver. With the golden treasure chest this time as a reference, she could reasonably infer the levels represented by the treasure chests of different colors.
Silver represents intermediate level and gold represents advanced level.
Although Yu Zhu had never seen an ordinary treasure chest, he thought it should be a copper product, just like the ranks in some games, bronze, silver, and gold, with clear levels. The higher the level, the better the reward.
While thinking about the treasure chest, she swam towards the top of the sea.
During the period, he did not forget to take out the oxygen tank and put it on his back, and put on fins on his feet to effectively increase his underwater speed.
It was inconvenient not wearing it during battle, but now I don’t have so many concerns when I’m just traveling.
The BOSS shark brought her to extremely deep sea. Yu Zhu didn't know how deep it was. The light around her had completely disappeared.
Only a faint light emanated from her head. All of this light came from her three titles. Although it could not provide any illumination, it could still provide some psychological comfort. After all, where there is light, there is hope, and people all yearn for light.
Especially in this deep-sea environment, if you change your mindset, it would be good enough if you don’t get scared to faint, let alone persist in fighting.
When Yu Zhu first entered the sea, it only took her a dozen seconds to adapt before she was able to keep up with the BOSS's rhythm, because there was no extra time for her to slowly adapt.
She had to hold the metal spear tightly to prevent herself from being thrown off by the BOSS, while holding her breath and fighting to deal as much damage as possible, and always be on guard against sneak attacks from other sharks.
Over time, Yu Zhu got used to staying in the sea, but it was still not advisable to stay here for long.
Just now, the BOSS shark sank for the longest time, but still did not touch the seabed. Moreover, every time it sank for more than ten minutes, it would swim upwards frantically. It seemed that it was suffering from unbearable wounds, but in fact it was seeking emergency avoidance.
The sea is vast and boundless. Even though the BOSS Shark is the lord of this sea area, its range of activities is still limited.
Even judging from the current depth of the sea, it can be divided into two areas, the upper area where the bull sharks live may not actually account for a large proportion, and the rest is mostly deep sea areas. It is very likely that there are creatures on the seabed that are more dangerous than the BOSS shark.
This speculation is very true because in real life, human exploration of the ocean has only reached about 5%.
Yu Zhu had just finished a fight and didn't want to encounter any tough boss again, so she could only try to swim faster.
About a few minutes after Yu Zhu left, a strange green light suddenly appeared at the place where the shark last disappeared.
…
6:30 PM
Yu Zhu seemed to be trapped in a dark space with no end.
It was not until the color of the sea water became slightly lighter that I was sure that I was not swimming in the wrong direction.
Although strictly speaking, the sea water is still as deep and not much lighter, it is better than being as black as ink, which also means that she is getting closer and closer to the sea surface.
“Crash!”
Yu Zhu finally broke through the sea, but there was nothing nearby, and the raft was no longer visible.
The sun, which was originally high in the sky, has now reached the stage of setting. Only the tip of its round outline remains on the sea, emitting the last red afterglow of the day.
Perhaps because she had been soaking in the sea for too long, Yu Zhu was confused for a moment, and then she opened the game panel. Fortunately, she had an island under her name and activated the GPS function, otherwise it would take some effort to find her way home, and she felt like she had a heart attack just thinking about it.
It is very convenient now. In just a few seconds, Yu Zhu found the raft thousands of miles away through the map. She quickly took out the plastic boat and paddle, jumped in, and rowed back without stopping.
In fact, she was at the end of her strength and was hanging on by her last breath.
Yu Zhu had not completely relaxed yet, and she did not dare to relax. Her muscles, bones, and spirit were all tense. Even her head was buzzing. She was exhausted.
She was afraid that if she relaxed, she would faint, and she would definitely be unconscious for a long time, and she wouldn't even know if she was taken away by some fish or bird.
At this time, the game is still immersed in decomposing the BOSS corpse + calculating rewards (the machine is about to smoke)
It has never seen any player who can be as awesome as Yu Zhu. The sharks can do what they say and the boss shark can kill them as soon as he says so.
They are completely different from the previous batches he led. You know, Yu Zhu can kill the high-level BOSS alone after just passing the initial stage of the game. If you tell his colleagues about this, they will probably think he is joking.
This means that its current workload is completely incompatible with the stage it is in. It seems that it needs to be upgraded in advance, and Yu Zhu will be the biggest contributor to this upgrade. The game did not expect that one day it would be able to live off the players.
Game: Hey, it smells so good (chew chew chew)
Yu Zhu: I’m so tired. I really want to lie down and sleep for three days and three nights.
The plastic boat had only traveled a few hundred meters when Yu Zhu felt dizzy. She was like a puppet with its strings cut, and she couldn't stop wanting to fall forward. But her reason told her that she must hold on. The battle was so difficult, and she had won it. She couldn't fall here, that would be too ridiculous.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhu's mood began to deteriorate. As long as people become unhappy, they must vent, otherwise what will happen if they hold it in? At this time, she needed a kind-hearted person (a scapegoat) to bear her anger.
So, she decided to fire at the game.
Yu Zhu: "Why haven't you finished counting yet?"
[It’s almost there (chew chew chew)]
Yu Zhu: “?”
"What?"
"What are you doing?"
【Statistical rewards】
You can tell how happy it is just by looking at the handwriting.
Yu Zhu: "It's so annoying. I'm going to faint."
【? ! ! 】
Yu Zhu: "Why haven't I reached home yet? Why can't the boat move forward automatically?"
【……】
Game: Look at what you are talking about, Densi!
A broken plastic boat doesn’t even have that configuration!
Yu Zhu was completely furious: "Stop sending those six points and come over here to row the boat for me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a nauseous feeling like vomiting and a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth.
Yugi was so frightened that he dared not say a word. He quickly checked Yu Zhu's personal information.
[Player: Yu Zhu]
Health: 2 (-50)
[Condition: Severe hypothermia, severe concussion, moderate fractures, moderate internal organ rupture, moderate blood loss...]
Seeing the long list of negative statuses, Yugi almost let out a sharp explosion.
[Hold on! Take drugs! Take drugs! Hold on!]
It’s not that I’m not serious about the game, it’s just that Yu Zhu’s performance is too deceptive.
She was wearing a set of mid-to-high-level equipment. She didn't appear to be injured anywhere, but her face was as pale as paper.
Even Yu Zhu himself didn't realize how serious the condition of this body was until he vomited blood and realized something was wrong.
No wonder they say that after a major car accident, the injured who look fine and can still get up and help out are often the most seriously injured and are basically too late to save by the time they are discovered.
Seeing the call of the game, Yu Zhu did try to persevere, but she neither brought a simple bed nor found any herbs. Her mind was in a mess, and her thinking speed became extremely slow.
It took her a long time to remember that she hadn't stockpiled any herbs. The players had just experienced a wave of extreme cold and exploration, and they didn't even have enough medicine for themselves, so why would they sell it? Besides, the herbs restored too little health.
She did find a bit of ointment, which was the leftover from applying it to Xinni yesterday.
Yu Zhu didn't care whether it was edible or not, he just stuffed it into his mouth, and then he fainted as if he had lost all consciousness.
Fortunately, the ointment was effective, but unfortunately, the effect was almost non-existent.
Game: holding head and freaking out.jpg
This was the first time it felt that the ointment was so useless!
One herb +1 health point (immediate effect)
One ointment + 3 health points (takes 30 minutes)
Originally, these two blood-recovering items could meet the needs of most players, but Yu Zhu was not within this range. Her upper limit of health was 52 points, so using either one would be a drop in the bucket, unless she won by quantity, but the medicines were limited during distribution.
From the fact that Yu Zhu only opened one herb and collected three herbs, a total of four herbs, it can be seen how difficult it is to stock up on herbs, and it requires a bit of luck.
If there were no plug-ins, the game would have wanted to conjure up a medicine to feed Yu Zhu, but all the props have traces to follow, and the refresh and birth of resources all have detailed settings. It is impossible to conjure things out of thin air, unless there are related materials nearby, it can still go and pick them up to feed Yu Zhu, but the problem is that there is no medicine around, only the constantly flowing sea water.
Youxi was so anxious this time. Not long after he had eaten the fresh and hot rice, the rice bowl and the rice pot were about to be overturned.
It felt that Yu Zhu was right. It was a cowardly waste. At the critical moment, it didn't even have a single trump card.
Although the game always criticized Yu Zhu behind her back, it never thought that she would die, even though she had survived last time.
Even though everyone will die one day, it shouldn't be now. It can accept her death in battle, but it cannot accept her death after winning. This is too sad.
Unknowingly, the bond between Youxi and Yu Zhu became deeply entangled. When other players died, Youxi didn't feel anything at all. If a potential seedling died young, at most he would feel sorry and say "bad luck". But when the dying person turned out to be Yu Zhu, Youxi couldn't say anything.
The data column concerning its emotions experienced unprecedented dramatic fluctuations, and it could no longer hold back and cried out loud, even though it had no tears at all.
[Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo…]
Yu Zhu: It’s so noisy!
To suit the scene, the game specially added fog to the screen, making the vision blurred, so that it feels like you are really crying.
In a trance, it seemed to see Yu Zhu open his eyes.
Game: QAQ?
Yu Zhu: "Don't cry."
Her head was about to split open.
Don't die
Perhaps it was because of the short "sleep", Yu Zhu's mind became clearer. Looking at the four pitiful words, he did not reply.
After regaining her senses, she turned around and opened the chat interface. Seeing the top few messages with gift tips, a little warmth appeared in her eyes.
[Fu Wanwan: Free ointment x5, common herbs x30]
[Ming Jingming: Gift of 10 ordinary herbs]
…
She didn't have the energy to read the specific chat content, and she didn't click on the gifts from other players. She only accepted the medical kits sent by these two people.
It was probably the same as last time. He must have seen the game broadcast and thought of sending her medicine. Fu Wanwan's medicine was collected by everyone in the group, and Ming Jingming's medicine was collected by himself. They were all very familiar with each other, and they were both classified as very close friends by Yu Zhu. There was no need to be too polite, and words of thanks could only be said later.
Facts have proven that as long as people stay connected to the community, their connections are crucial. After all, even the most capable people can face difficulties. There's no such thing as a god who can handle everything. Who can live their entire life without encountering difficulties?
Of course, the prerequisite is to make friends with the right people, which requires you to distinguish them yourself. The price of making wrong friends is bloody. At the very least, they may kick you when you are down, and at the worst, your life may be in danger.
After this crisis is over, Yu Zhu decided to collect some herbs. No matter how expensive they are, he would stockpile them to save lives at critical moments. He also needed to pay attention to the ingredients for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
This kind of thing must not happen a third time. After thinking about it, Yu Zhu felt that the flag should not be set too firmly, so he changed it to at least it should not happen easily again.
As for how she woke up?
This is related to a new buff.
The game just saw Yu Zhu's health value drop from 2 points to 1 point, which is why it couldn't hold back its tears.
Then, the blinking time dropped to 0.5 again. It might be that Yu Zhu's obsession was too deep. After all, no one would be willing to die at this time. Of course, it is not ruled out that she was woken up by the game. She really heard crying just now.
In short, Yu Zhu triggered the [Last Gasp] buff.
Just as the name suggests: Before a person dies, he or she will suddenly have a brief period of clarity or mental excitement. *
No matter what, she didn't deserve to die.
Yu Zhu got a large handful of herbs. He originally wanted to stuff them all into his mouth, but the amount was too much, so he could only eat them in batches.
Although the medicine was not taken by the game, it knew how bitter it was. After all, good medicine tastes bitter. Seeing this, its face turned green. But Yu Zhu didn't even frown. Could it be that his sense of taste was damaged?
Yu Zhu: No matter how bitter it is, you have to eat it. She was just too lazy to make expressions.
A person's behavior and expression can be controlled. The only difference is whether you want to do so or not.
Soon, Yu Zhu not only ate all 40 herbs, but also swallowed the ointment together. The taste was indescribable.
Health value changes in real time: +5, +5, -5, +5, +5, -3, +5...
It finally stopped at 28 points. After all, there were several negative states. While she was increasing her health, she inevitably continued to lose blood. The remaining ointment to take effect would gradually restore a total of 10 health points, providing some additional protection.
It seems that the ointment is indeed edible. Yu Zhu also discovered the difference between herbs and ointments. In addition to the fact that the ointment adds more blood than herbs, it can also be used for external application and can more easily eliminate negative states.
Simply chewing herbs does not have a big impact on the debuff. Even after chewing so many herbs, there is only moderate blood loss and a countdown to the end appears.
Only after swallowing 5 ointments will the countdown for moderate fracture + moderate internal organ rupture appear.
Only the severe hypothermia remained unchanged, and the severe concussion turned into moderate.
Now, she was wet all over and couldn't make a fire on the plastic boat, so she took a thick coat to cover herself, but still couldn't feel warm. She was like an ice cube in the true sense of the word. The most urgent thing was to get back to the raft as soon as possible.
While the blood volume increased significantly, the last burst of energy disappeared in an instant, and many uncomfortable feelings such as pain, sleepiness, nausea, coldness, etc. came back again.
Yu Zhu lay down sickly and said, "Help me row the boat."
Although she didn't mention any names, there was no one else around, so Yugi knew she was calling him.
Before, it would have pretended not to hear, but now, seeing her pale face, it moved obediently.
Invisibly, the intensity of the sea breeze was increased. In fact, only this small sea area, centered on the plastic boat, changed. It was like an insignificant leaf on the sea, being carried by the wind and waves and blown to a certain direction.
Yu Zhu felt it carefully. It was much faster than when she rowed by herself, and her thoughts inevitably turned.
Since Yugi did something for her, he became a member of her team.
It has been lost for so long, it is time to get back on the right track under her bright leadership.
At this time, Yugi was diligently controlling the wind direction, keeping the plastic boat at a steady yet fast pace, ensuring that Yu Zhu could be safely delivered home in the shortest time and at the fastest speed.
People always realize the importance of others only after they are almost losing them or have already lost them. The same principle applies to games.
The game didn't understand the specific principles. There was no emotion in its program. It didn't even realize that it valued Yu Zhu more and more. It didn't understand the meaning of a companion. It only knew that it didn't want her to die, so it treated her as a gigolo.
After all, Yu Zhu is not an ordinary golden thigh. Especially after this battle, the value she represents has been raised again. It is necessary to hold her tightly and not let any mistakes happen again.
In other regions and servers, the players are the ones holding the game back, but the game doesn’t want to hold the players back.
It is no longer static and lacks ambition. Only by learning to seize opportunities and respond flexibly can you have great fortune.
…
At 18:45 in the evening, on the raft.
Not long after Yu Zhu disappeared, the flesh and blood around him completely disappeared. The seabirds and fish that came after hearing the news, after confirming that there was nothing to eat, left one after another to look for new food.
The bees were moved back to the hive to rest, but the queen bee remained sitting on Sinny's head.
The queen bee is very important to the bee colony. She does not need to fight in person, but is only responsible for commanding the general direction. However, the long periods of concentration, continuous flying in the air, and her round body make her very tired.
It was originally planning to go back and rest, but it couldn't help but worry about Yu Zhu. Before it saw her return safely, it didn't even have the mood to rest.
Sinny felt the same as the queen bee. It seemed as if their emotions were shared. They all stood on the edge of the raft, looking out. The queen bee managed to turn over several times, but Sinny didn't move for several hours, as if she had turned into a stone.
While waiting, plum blossoms and two little birds also came over from the greenhouse.
Meihua was very skilled at this job. Every time Yu Zhu and Xinni went out, when it was almost time to go home, it would come to the edge of the raft and quietly look in the direction of their return. When the time was getting closer, it would stretch its neck and turn its head in circles to search. Most of the time, it was no different from a stone, and this time there were two more places available for the stone experience.
Meihua nestled down next to Xinni. She knew this was not a short-term thing, so before coming over, she didn't forget to go back to the cabin and tell the creatures that if they saw her not coming back for a long time, they would be worried.
After everything was explained, it deliberately chose the most comfortable position to sit down, and patted Xinni with its wings, signaling her not to be so nervous, just relax like itself, and wait patiently, and she would get what she wanted eventually.
After all, at times like this, there is nothing they can do except wait. Don't exhaust yourself. Meihua didn't forget that Xinni had been fighting just now. After the battle was finally over, she stayed here eagerly and never left. It has to take good care of itself and maintain its physical strength as much as possible so that it can play a role when needed.
Xinni finally responded. She lowered her head and looked at Meihua, as if she understood what it meant. Then she tucked her two front paws into place and lay down instead of sitting. Noticing Xinni's movements, the queen bee quickly grabbed two hairs on her head to prevent herself from slipping.
The three little ones were waiting together intimately. Meihua might have the best mentality among them. After all, waiting was what it often did. She couldn't help but let her thoughts fly, thinking: It would be nice if there was a big bird on the raft.
It's not a small bird like the sunbird, but a seabird with large wings that can easily withstand the sea breeze and will not be preyed upon by other creatures. It is very suitable to fly out to explore the way for everyone, help them find Yu Zhu, and understand her movements, so that everyone will not become so passive.
The longer the wait goes, the more despair and depression one feels. Only two hours have passed, but Meihua feels that Xinni has become much more haggard.
Although Xinni is very powerful in combat, she still needs to learn from it in this regard.
Plum Blossom: "Chuckles!"
Relax, she'll be fine!
Xinni moved her ears, and it opened its mouth barely audibly, as if in response, but no sound came out.
The amber eyes were full of worry. The little black panther had a big worry on his mind. The terrifyingness of the boss shark was still vivid in his mind.
Meihua was worried that Xinni would lose her mind and jump into the sea to look for Yu Zhu, but the sea was so big that even a fish would find it difficult to find a person.
Finally, Meihua simply put her little head against Xinni's face, giving her all the companionship and comfort she could, and they all huddled together silently for warmth.
Diagonally behind this place was the fishing area, the area covered by the parasols, a pristine paradise. Because Yu Zhu had intentionally shifted the battle zone, the rocking chair, the small octopus pillow, and other items had been left untouched, without even a drop of blood being spilled. At this moment, at the top edge of the parasol, two sunbirds stood with their necks tucked in. It was a rare moment when they weren't flirting with each other, and they were no longer in the mood to preen each other's feathers. A sense of unease enveloped them.
As time passed, the atmosphere on the entire raft became extremely depressed. Even the usually optimistic Meihua was affected. After all, emotions are contagious.
Everyone regained their spirits until they saw a familiar plastic boat appear not far away.
Xinni stood up in an instant, and Meihua almost fell to the ground. There was nothing she could do, after all, she was just a little chicken.
Chickens have compound eyes, made up of many small eyes. Each eye contains a lens that can adjust its focal length to accommodate different distances. This structure allows chickens to see a wider field of view and have better vision in low-light environments, allowing them to see in the dark and adapt to dark environments. However, their eyesight is poor, and everything they see is often blurry. They can only scan their surroundings by moving their heads.
Of course, after being fed various good ingredients by Yu Zhu, Meihua's eyesight has improved significantly, but it is definitely not as good as a leopard's eyesight. Their eyesight is more than 6 times that of humans. This is why Xinni was able to discover Yu Zhu's boat coming back in the first place. But what makes it strange is that there seems to be no one on the boat, only a lonely small boat. Where did Yu Zhu go?
It couldn't help but become anxious, pacing back and forth on the edge of the raft, its paws almost stepping into the sea.
Meihua was standing nearby, peeking in for a long time, thinking she was seeing things. It was so strange that the boat was actually moving by itself!
Until the plastic boat was getting closer and closer, the two little birds took advantage of their wings and flew over impatiently, and saw Yu Zhu lying in the middle of the plastic boat.
She was covered with a thick cotton-padded jacket, her face was as pale as snow, her eyes were closed, and she looked so peaceful as if she had just passed away.
White-eye bird: "Chirp, chirp, chirp!"
Help, help, help!
It let out a shrill scream, and the bird was scared to death.
Upon hearing this, the queen bee immediately grabbed two hairs on Xinni's head and almost fainted.
Xinni and Meihua only just realized that the plastic boat was unmanned. Fortunately, Yu Zhu was on the boat, but her condition was unknown and she was suspected to be a critically ill patient who was still in danger.
The plastic boat floated steadily to the edge of the raft under the eager anticipation of the little ones.
Yu Zhu fell asleep while lying down, or maybe he was unconscious again. It was an extremely comfortable sleep because he lost consciousness and could not feel any pain until he was awakened by the sound of birds.
She opened her eyes with some difficulty, her eyelids seemed to be glued together, her whole body seemed to be falling apart, her limbs were so weak that she looked like a rusty and oil-deficient robot, very uncoordinated, but she still struggled to sit up slowly.
He only lasted three seconds before falling face down on the raft, with half of his body still in the plastic boat. The aftereffects of the fierce battle were fully reflected. Killing monsters was fun for a while, but it was a crematorium afterward.
Game: Phew.
They are all professionally trained and will not laugh out loud unless they encounter something particularly funny.
Perhaps it was because it knew that Yu Zhu was safe once he returned to the raft, so it could finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in its heart all the way.
At this moment, Yu Zhu didn't even need to look at the game panel to know that his health value had dropped below 10 again. A feeling of weakness filled his whole body, as if he would break in the next second. But this time he really had no strength left. A buff like Last Light could probably only be triggered once in the short term. So what should he do next?
As the saying goes: Raise a leopard for seven days, use it for a day. Xinni leaned over and grabbed Yu Zhu by the back of her collar, dragging her out of the plastic boat.
Yu Zhu was lying on the raft. She seemed to have noticed Xinni's intention. She first made a pause gesture, turned over at an unusually slow speed, and then indicated that they could continue walking.
Although they were all being dragged along, it was better to be face up than to wash the floor.
Xinni dragged Yu Zhu back to the cabin and didn't put him down until he was on the single bed.
This unprecedented way of entering the house scared the objects. The little guys were already worried about the situation outside. When they didn't see anyone, they could still comfort each other, thinking that Yu Zhu was so strong, he would definitely be fine. But after seeing people, they could no longer deceive themselves and their brains were about to short-circuit.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: Woman, what's wrong with you? Say something! Are you okay?
Easy Grill: Woohoo, get well soon!
Simple Water Purifier No. 2: I would trade No. 1's ten-year lifespan for Yu Zhu's immediate recovery.
Simple water purifier No. 1:?
Simple bed: Seconded.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1:? ?
Simple Shed: Seconded +1
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: ???
I learned this trick from Yu Zhu. I saw Yu Zhu use it once earlier. Contributor was also No. 1. It was successful at that time, and No. 2 remembered it. Facts have proved that the method was not learned in vain. It finally came in handy today.
It was a coincidence that Yu Zhu suddenly regained some strength, and No. 1 had a vague illusion of being hollowed out, and felt that his body had become empty.
Since Xinni dragged Yu Zhu onto the bed, she didn't get off. Instead, she stayed beside Yu Zhu, sticking close to her and giving her some warmth.
Yu Zhu also hugged Xinni sideways. Her body was so cold as if she had been dead for three days. The big cat shivered from the cold, but it did not leave. It still lay obediently in her arms, letting her hold it for warmth.
Meihua, who had just followed behind, was not idle either. As soon as it entered the house, it picked up the wooden board and skillfully started to light the fire, lighting the bonfire.
This is the fixed indoor campfire that has been used in recent days. It will remain there as long as it is not dismantled. Meihua added several wooden boards back and forth. She was well-trained and added another one to the simple grill so that it could boil a cup of hot water for Yu Zhu.
Although the plum blossom is not very big, it has been dealing with wooden boards for so long that it has no difficulty in operating it.
Yu Zhu stopped moving, smelling the familiar scent around him, and fell into a deep sleep.
Game: I slept soundly.
It was not as reassured as Yu Zhu. After witnessing the previous incident (vomiting blood), it had to take a look at her attribute data from time to time to confirm whether her health was healthy.
Of course, given the current situation, it is a pipe dream to be healthy, but at least we cannot be in a state of near death.
The game took less than five minutes to send Yu Zhu back. If she had been expected to row the boat manually, she would have been completely defeated.
Of the medicines I had taken previously, only the ointment was still effective.
5 doses of ointment, restoring 5 health points every 10 minutes (limited to 3 times). In addition to the 5 points already restored, it can be restored twice within 20 minutes, for a total of 10 health points. In addition, the single bed can also restore 5 points per hour, and it can be restored for 10 hours, which adds up to 50 points. She probably won't die, which is why Yu Zhu can sleep peacefully.
In her sleep, she felt herself surrounded by warmth and her body was gradually heating up.
Ten minutes later, the severe hypothermia turned into moderate hypothermia.
Twenty minutes later, moderate hypothermia turned into mild hypothermia.
Forty minutes later, the mild hypothermia completely disappeared.
After two hours, the moderate concussion turns into a mild concussion, and the duration of the remaining debuffs ends.
A mild concussion also had a 12-hour countdown, with an average loss of 1 health point per hour, but considering Yu Zhu's strength, it was almost equivalent to a full recovery.
After Yu Zhu discovered that he was vomiting blood on the boat, he took off his second-level helmet.
It was not until this time that I realized that the surface of the helmet was cracked into a spider web. Although it could still be worn, it no longer had any defensive effect. Even the most basic equipment information could not be checked. It was completely scrapped.
Since it was useless, there was no point in wearing it. It was heavy and covered his head, so Yu Zhu just threw it on the plastic boat.
However, the goggles were intact. They couldn't be broken easily, otherwise it would hurt the eyes. No matter how serious the injury was in the game, as long as there were enough herbs and lying on a bed that could restore health, there would be no problem. However, Yu Zhu had never broken a limb before, so he was not sure whether it would regenerate.
In fact, the second-level helmet still played a certain protective role, but its level was too low, so it became the defensive equipment with the shortest lifespan in Yu Zhu's hands.
I just got it in the morning and it was broken into pieces in the afternoon.
As the battle progressed, Yu Zhu was no longer at ease and was ambushed when he wasn't paying attention. There was nothing he could do about it.
The feeling of having your head bitten by a mid-level shark is absolutely impressive, and she reacted quickly, quickly cutting off a piece of meat from the shark's head. In any case, no one would get away with it.
Although Yu Zhu escaped easily, the taste of the second-level helmet was different from the high-level equipment he was wearing. After "tasting" it, the shark found the weakness.
Logically speaking, the head should be the most protected part, but Yu Zhu is fully armed from the fingers to the toes, and only the head has the lowest defense value. There is no way, because she only drew a mid-level helmet.
Since then, the sharks no longer tried to bite her arms and legs, but instead focused on attacking her head. Although Yu Zhu strengthened the defense of her head, she was still hit by the reckless intermediate shark.
That was the last intermediate shark. Her machete pierced it directly through, and the shape was similar to that of barbecued meat skewers. It died together with her.
Yu Zhu's mind went blank for a moment. She took a long time to recover and almost choked on the water before she regained her consciousness. She estimated that her level 2 helmet had been broken by then, and her head must have been seriously injured, but she just didn't notice it.
After that, Yu Zhu concentrated on dealing with the BOSS shark, and was carried around in the sea by it. His vision was reversed and he had no fixed direction, which caused his head injury to worsen and developed into a severe concussion.
After this battle, Yu Zhu gained a new understanding of the defensive capabilities of equipment. Even high-level equipment is not invincible when facing mid-level prey.
On the surface, the defense cannot be broken, and it can effectively withstand the damage of medium and low-level weapons, but it cannot withstand the impact of a long-range attack. After all, people are inside the equipment and will suffer internal injuries when subjected to a violent impact.
Therefore, this is also the reason why Yu Zhu did not have any wounds on the surface, but was actually seriously injured. She had ruptured organs and multiple fractures. She was extremely pain-tolerant, and the pressure from the sea suppressed her injuries temporarily. When she surfaced, without the sea pressure, her illness broke out and reached a very serious level.
I guess he's lucky. No wonder they say fortune and wealth are achieved through risk.
Yugi looked at the golden treasure chest in her inventory, which was emitting dazzling light. This was a treasure that did not belong to this stage, but she managed to get it.
By the time Yu Zhu's health stabilized a little and he no longer lost blood rapidly, the game had already prepared the rewards. The announcement had already been sent out in real time, waiting for Yu Zhu to wake up and open the box.
