Chapter 237
After leaving the floating corpse area, Li Mu took out his fishing rod and continued fishing.
"Should we stay there for a while to see how long it takes for these pirate corpses to refresh? We can't just keep floating on the sea, right?" Xia Beibei asked suddenly while picking up supplies with a sieve.
"No need to stay there, they won't refresh when they're near players, they'll only refresh when all the players leave." Qiao Sheng was sitting on a small bench opposite her, and he looked up to explain to her.
It turned out that the source of the news was Fang Yueyi. Pei Hong was also curious about this matter. After separating from them, he encountered pirates. After killing them, he considered that there were many casualties in the team, so he did not continue to drift. He looted the supplies and pirate corpses on the pirate ship and rested on the spot.
Unexpectedly, when they got up the next morning, the corpses were still floating next to them, and there were even unknown birds perched on the corpses pecking at something. There were also fish that had never been seen in the sea busy under the corpses. After discovering the situation, they quickly left the boat and left this sea area.
According to their experience, the setting of this game is that when the player is nearby, the NPC corpses will not refresh. The player needs to leave a certain distance and time before refreshing.
"Hey, if we do as Sister Yueyi said, and stay for a while longer, those NPC corpses will rot after a long time, and then the birds will eat them. It's terrible to think about it." Xia Beibei tilted his head and imagined it for a while, and couldn't help but shudder.
"This is not bad, it's just rotten corpses. Do you think there will be players who are so bad as to put human flesh as pork in the trading system?" Lin Haiyang squatted beside him, picking up a few black fish that Li Mu had just caught and was cleaning them up. He wanted to eat hot pot again in the evening, so he prepared the dishes in advance.
Qiao Sheng and Xia Beibei looked at Lin Haiyang with blood on his hands in horror. They lost their confidence and explained: "I just suddenly remembered that I would never do such a thing as those black shops and human meat buns. After all, I am a progressive young man and an excellent student that teachers highly value. My thoughts must not be so dark." When he
said this, if he hadn't waved his hands stained with fish blood, it might have been more convincing.
"Excellent student? Usually failing? In danger of failing at any time?" Li Mu asked casually while swinging the fishing rod.
Then came Lin Haiyang's wailing and begging for mercy. The laughter didn't last long before it was broken by Ah Dai who went out to play.
Except for the very small ones, this guy was the only one on the boat who was not injured. On days when they did not go to the island, it would take the little eagle out to practice flying skills.
Now in this situation where pirates may be encountered at any time, they have become the vanguard, going out for patrols from time to time. At
this time, it flapped its wings to signal to Qiao Sheng and the others that they had encountered several pirate ships in front of their ship.
Several people quickly put down their work and prepared for battle. Not long after the last two battles, they still wanted to rest for a while, so they were not in a hurry to recharge the cannons and catapults with ammunition and stones.
Now they have to make preparations before the station. Fortunately, there are enough arrows prepared in the wrist bag before, so they don’t have to make them now.
This battle didn't last long, because there weren't many pirate ships on the opposite side. There were two ships, and there were less than a hundred pirates. But this battle gave them new ideas.
"Did these pirates suddenly grow smart? They even used a big fan to blow the powder here. If we hadn't reacted quickly and held our breath, wouldn't we have been killed?" Qiao Sheng held his breath and slapped the powder on his body.
"Who said it wasn't? But what is this powder for?" After slapping himself, Xia Beibei picked up Ah Dai who had fainted on the ground. After checking, he confirmed that it was the powder of the knockout drug.
Because Ah Dai had a debuff, he inhaled an excessive amount of knockout drugs and fell into a coma for five hours. There were no other signs of poisoning, and he didn't need to take any antidotes. He was allowed to continue sleeping and would be fine when he woke up.
Fortunately, the cabins upstairs were closed before the battle to prevent attacks. Now they only had to clean up the first floor of the cabin and the scattered dust on the terrace.
At this time, their wooden fan finally came in handy. The knockout drug powder on the terrace would disperse as soon as it was blown, and the cabins could only be cleaned up with masks on.
"Next time, we will also use knockout drugs! We don't even need a big wooden fan! It's high-tech, and the bird worker will bring it over and slap the group of NPCs in the face!" Qiao Sheng sat on a chair, drinking juice and said angrily. After all, in such a short time, they were forced to repair the ship and clean up. No one would be in a good mood.
This method was immediately recognized by the other three. After all, everyone is willing to do something that doesn't require any effort.
Less than half an hour after resting, the test subjects came. The embarrassing thing was that Ah Dai was still sleeping. It's not that Xiaoying couldn't do it, but he was not
as smart as Ah Dai. They were afraid of accidents, and because of the wind direction, Qiao Sheng and the others finally didn't use those pirates for experiments. They didn't have the right time, place, and people. Forcing the experiment would easily backfire. In the end, they used artillery and crossbows to solve the pirates.
During dinner, they also did an inventory. They encountered four waves of pirates today. The first two waves had fifteen pirate ships and more than nine hundred pirates. The last two waves had five pirate ships and more than two hundred pirates. They
killed 1,200 pirates in one day. I don't know if their number is reasonable.
Qiao Sheng asked Fang Yueyi to find out the number of pirates killed by their fleet, and Xia Beibei quietly started to spy on the world channel.
Lin Haiyang looked at the lamb slices still bubbling in the copper pot and wanted to say that if he didn't pick them up, they would be old. However, as he was at the bottom of the team, he didn't dare to say that. He could only silently pick up the cooked ingredients and put them into Qiao Sheng and Xia Beibei's bowls.
Li Mu urged them to eat first and then ask, there was no rush, but the tripe he just bought would not taste good if it was old.
Xia Beibei got this tripe when she was browsing the trading system. There were not many, just enough for them to show off for one or two meals. Fang Yueyi had not been willing to take it out before.
The two of them came back to their senses when they heard the tripe. The small amount seemed very precious. At this time, they did not care about asking for information, and they all seized the time to grab the tripe.
Lin Haiyang secretly gave Li Mu a thumbs up. Teacher Li was indeed better than him in terms of speech skills. He had to learn from him.
Qiao Sheng was eating when Fang Yueyi sent a message saying that they had cleared more than 800 pirates today, with a total of eight pirate ships, and the pressure was not too great.
The difference was obvious after the comparison. The other party's fleet of 100 people cleared 800 pirates, while the four of them cleared 1.5 times as many as the other party.
After dinner, Xia Beibei had time to continue eating fruit and peek at the world channel, just in time to catch up with a player who was counting data.
It seemed that these players were quite strong. At least one player killed four pirates because he saw other players fighting with pirates and quickly rowed his boat over to help.
Later, the player who was helped thanked the other party. If this player hadn't arrived, he would have died there.
It turned out that he was not the only pirate who encountered the pirates. He had a teammate. However, there were more than a dozen pirates, and the fighting power was too different when facing two players. In addition, the pirate ship had more people, and it was faster than the ship with fewer players. He could not escape at all.
When the two sides engaged in melee combat, even if the two players tried their best, they could not compete. After killing several pirates, one of the players was hit in the aorta and turned into a white light and died. The remaining player dragged the remaining pirate by himself until the supporting player came.
The two sides joined forces to kill the remaining six pirates.
After this message was released, the world channel was filled with sighs and groans, all talking about how many teammates they had lost and how powerful the pirates they had encountered were.
[7543: We are the ones who are still alive and can remember our dead teammates. Those who were wiped out are the ones who are truly dead.]
[372: The person above, don't say such sad words! Now it's okay to kill one, but if you kill two, you'll win! The more players who die in the front, the easier it will be for the players who live longer in the back, and this will leave a way for ourselves to survive! We need to kill more pirates! We want to go home! 】
For a while, the world channel was full of "We want to go home". Xia Beibei quickly asked Qiao Sheng and the others to go and have a look: "Sister Qiao, I heard that there was a player in the game with the surname Fu. Is the world channel also as popular as this?"
"It really does have that flavor. They are all repeaters. According to what you said, that player 372 is also a master at shouting slogans." Qiao Sheng clicked on the world channel and saw the screen full of "Go Home" repeated. He felt that he was also infected by the passion.
After Xia Beibei peeked at the statistics of the world channel, the player who cleared the least pirates today killed four, and the one who cleared the most killed 40, a tenfold difference. However, the total number of players who cleared the pirates in the entire game is still unknown. After all, there are too many players, and some of them are too busy working to open the world channel, so there must be a discrepancy between the actual and the world channel.
When they were sleeping at night, Qiao Sheng and his friends were also attacked by pirates. This time Ah Dai woke up, and the four of them didn't have to work hard. They threw a pack of knockout drugs and knocked down all the pirates on the pirate ship that was about to approach them.
Wearing masks, Qiao Sheng and his crew brought their boat close to the pirate ship, then tied them together and flipped over. They also asked the monks to guard the connection between the two ships, fearing that the pirates might be confused.
They rushed into the cabin and killed all the pirates who were not knocked out by the knockout drug. This time, they couldn't confirm the number of pirates nearby with the system. After all, those on the deck were knocked out by the drug, not killed, and were still counted.
When searching for pirate tokens, they stabbed the fainted pirates. Lin Haiyang kept saying that he didn't kill innocent people in vain, and these were all stumbling blocks on his way home. People die for money and birds die for food, so don't blame him.
"Lin Haiyang, you are such a chatterbox. If you can't do it, you will be responsible for searching for tokens behind me and throwing the bodies into the sea after searching!" Xia Beibei gave him a headache, mainly because he lacked vocabulary. He only had a few sentences, but he kept repeating them over and over again.
Lin Haiyang also knew his own weight, so he immediately hugged Xia Beibei's thighs, searched her body, and threw the bodies away very smoothly.
"This job of taking the medicine is also okay, it's quite easy, the key is that it's convenient to search for tokens. This time, we must not search for duplicates, we will search one and throw one into the sea, and it seems that the monk likes to do this job of carrying bodies into the sea." Qiao Sheng watched the monk grab the legs of the two bodies with his bear paws, drag them to the side of the boat, and throw them into the sea with a light throw.
