Chapter 2 Ship's Doctor
When people face creatures larger than themselves at close range, they will instinctively feel fear.
The scarlet murderous aura from the Black Bull was like a giant beast pressing down on him.
“Hoo, hoo…”
Chen Qi clenched the hilt of the knife, but his body couldn't stop shaking.
Do I have to face death right after crossing over...
The ageless witch, the steam mecha, the extraordinary power...
He didn't want to become an unknown corpse on the sea before seeing the world.
No, most likely there isn't even a corpse, Chen Qi smiled bitterly at himself, and then stared at Hei Niu closely.
My agility at the beginning was not low, and Black Bull had just gone through an eight-man round-robin battle and was very physically exhausted.
Combined with the talent I just got, I get 5 points of strength and 5 points of agility! In the early stages, this is already a very high value!
According to Chen Qi's gaming experience, although there seems to be a big difference in weight between the two, he should be able to fight.
Black Bull did not attack immediately, but picked up a long-handled axe while panting:
"Stick your butt up, kid. I'm going to chop your butt into pieces..."
Opportunity! Chen Qi bent down, lowered his center of gravity, and launched a stab from bottom to top!
clang!
Hei Niu had no time to block with his axe, so he could only bend his arms and use them to block the attack!
"court death!"
After blocking it, Hei Niu roared angrily, found the right angle, and jerk his thigh, launching a ferocious whip kick!
Doesn't this black bull feel pain? Chen Qi quickly drew his sword, then took a step back to avoid the attack.
"Fortunately, I didn't take advantage of the situation..."
It was the first time he used such a cruel knife on someone, and the opponent's counterattack was more fierce and faster than he had imagined.
But Hei Niu is just a human being after all, and after the counterattack, his arms couldn't stop shaking.
In terms of speed and reaction, I am better! Chen Qi held the hilt of the knife and looked for a chance to attack again.
“Wow!”
His attack instantly ignited the passion of the surrounding pirates.
I thought no one could be a match for Hei Niu, but I didn't expect there was someone who dared to give Hei Niu a blow!
"Boy, that's a beautiful chop!"
"Boy, do you know what your odds are? Thirty times, thirty times!"
“Kill Black Bull, boy, and you will be a free man, a member of our Black Whale Group!
Not only that, I'll give you a bottle of rum!"
"If you win, I'll reward you with a woman for one night!"
"Goddess, I'll make you excited if I hit you with one knife. Do you think Hei Niu is scared?"
The originally one-sided gambling game was once again full of suspense.
Many pirates who were looking for high odds cheered for him.
"I ignored you at the last moment, little one. I won't give you a second chance!"
The corner of Black Bull's eye twitched and he raised his head, as if he was no longer a slave, but a noble knight with the power of life and death over commoners.
He took two quick steps forward and chopped at the opponent's neck with the axe.
The speed and movements were very stiff... Chen Qi dodged sideways and slashed with his sword, severely injuring Hei Niu's deltoid muscle!
Critical hit!
This knife cut out his flesh and blood fiercely!
Hei Niu's condition is not good. After all, he is just an ordinary human being. After a long battle, his physical strength has reached the limit!
At the same time, the accumulation of scars on his body also made his movements extremely slow.
Chen Qi saw the dawn of victory:
“The advantage is mine!”
The other person's life is like a candle in the wind!
How could this happen? Hei Niu shook his head. He had killed several people, but now he couldn't even keep his body steady.
The tide turned, and the pirates started to make a fuss again.
"Hei Niu, it's so hard to kill the last person! If it doesn't work, just take out your weapon!"
"Kill him, kill him quickly! Black Bull, at the last moment, think about your woman still lying in someone else's arms, you better give me your full strength!"
Amid the shouts of the crowd, Hei Niu seemed like a pressure cooker about to explode.
He was originally a small cadre of a gang. He was sold to this ship because he stole the boss's woman. He always believed that he was very different from these slaves who were of humble origin and weak.
"You piece of trash from a remote village! I can't die at the hands of a country bumpkin like you! I'm going to... chop you into pieces and feed them to the fish!"
Black Bull gasped for breath, thinking about his next attack.
At this last moment, he didn't want to die at the hands of this little guy because of underestimating the enemy.
Although his strength and physique are weak, his reaction is too fast. His blind slashing is useless and will only expose his flaws!
Come on... Chen Qi was fully focused, preparing to launch an evasive counterattack to end Hei Niu's life.
However, the next second, something strange happened!
Black Bull gritted his teeth and did not attack. Instead, he retreated and then grabbed a disgusting octopus-like thing from the deck.
Suddenly, the pirates cried out again.
"Black Bull, I didn't expect you to dare to use a parasitic sea beast!"
"No way, Black Bull, you were the one who used the parasitic sea beast in the end!"
"The bet is over now! Boy, you'll soon be beheaded!"
Parasitic sea beast...
Chen Qi broke out in a cold sweat, and memories of it appeared in his mind.
As the name suggests, parasitic sea beasts are a general term for sea beasts that parasitize humans.
In the Witch Sea, these creatures are extremely dangerous and fishermen are all afraid of them.
Parasitic sea beasts will take humans to the sea and turn them into monsters.
However, in the eyes of pirates who have no taboos, this parasite is not just a dangerous creature, but also a prop that can temporarily enhance combat power.
Although it is extremely lethal, people who are parasitized by sea beasts will burst out with speed and strength beyond that of humans in a short period of time!
Among players, this is also a popular item that can only be seen in the mid-term.
"Kill you, kill you!"
Black Bull repeated as he slammed the parasitic sea beast into the wound on his shoulder.
The tentacles of the sea beast stretched into his body through the wound, and then stabbed in violently. In an instant, a large number of dark blue blood vessels appeared on Black Bull's exposed skin.
"Black Bull was not weak to begin with. After being parasitized, his speed and strength are beyond the reach of a novice..."
Chen Qi analyzed the situation calmly and kept retreating.
He is too weak and powerless now!
The pirates actually used this forbidden tool in the fight!
"Asshole! Which asshole put this sea beast on the ground as a weapon?"
"Shouldn't this kind of thing be given to the ship's doctor for safekeeping?"
"Alright! You have to admit defeat! Give me the money now!"
The pirates began to curse each other, and some of them began to speak for Chen Qi for their money.
Chen Qi didn't hear their words clearly. Black Bull's beast-like murderous intent permeated every inch of his body. He was in an extremely dangerous situation.
You must focus all your attention on the opponent's actions!
“Go to hell!”
The next moment, Black Bull's huge right arm, which was parasitic, held an axe in one hand and rushed over like a huge mountain!
Too fast! I can only act on instinct!
Bang!
At the moment the two fought, a confident smile appeared on Hei Niu's lips, but this smile quickly disappeared along with his consciousness.
The scimitar suddenly pierced the black bull's heart!
“Hoo, hoo…”
Chen Qi gripped the hilt of the knife, twisted it, and looked at Hei Niu who looked incredulous. A large amount of blood gushed out of his chest.
Stabbed——
With a bang, Black Bull fell heavily to the ground.
Seconds...seconds! ?
The instant reversal caused many pirates to fall into silence, unable to believe what had just happened!
The black bull that was parasitized by the sea beast was killed instantly! ?
Chen Qi's hands were trembling, and he glanced at Hei Niu's right shoulder.
The parasitic sea beast was seen slowly peeling off from the black bull's shoulder, pulling out its flesh and blood while rapidly distancing itself from it.
The sea monster looked like a rabbit frightened by a lion.
Without the power of the parasitic sea beast, Black Bull's body had no ability to resist.
Why is this sea beast running?
Deep Sea Affinity...
Chen Qi probably understood that his affinity for the deep sea could make deep-sea creatures regard him as one of their own.
The creature attached to the black bull most likely had fear or other emotions towards him.
The parasitic sea beasts had all run away, so Black Bull's movements naturally became extremely stiff at that moment.
Others did not pay much attention to it. After all, sea beasts are unpredictable and dangerous creatures.
Winning...
Chen Qi let out a long breath, and his hand holding the knife couldn't stop shaking. This start didn't give him any time to develop.
Looking at the hot blood on the scimitar, Chen Qi smiled slightly.
But no matter what, he won and survived, for now.
"Well done! You made me a lot of money!"
"Well done, from now on, you are free!"
“Hahaha, Black Bull, you dare to use such a dangerous sea beast? Even if it is a sea beast transformed by the ship’s doctor, you can’t use it!”
"Captain Black Eyes, I like this boy! Please don't treat him badly!"
In the brief silence, the pirates cheered, especially those who had bet on him.
Chen Qi felt relieved, he sat down, and the world seemed exceptionally quiet.
The black bull in front of him was still breathing and muttering something.
But it could not be heard amid the pirates' overwhelming cheers, as they were more concerned about the money in their hands than the last words of a slave in front of them.
…
After the gambling was over, until the pirates had divided the money, a middle-aged man wearing a black captain's hat walked towards him.
Chen Qi leaned on the guardrail, watching the seabirds flying across the sky, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
He traveled through time, and on a pirate ship.
In New Day, the Black Whale Pirates are a terrorist force closely connected to the main storyline. In the game, they are also a force with a strong ability to commit suicide.
In the main storyline of New Day, the entire Black Whale Pirates will undertake countless dangerous voyages in order to summon terrifying beings from another world.
Chen Qi shook his head. Although he was spiritually awakened, he did not have a truly extraordinary career now.
As a post-apocalyptic extraordinary world, without strong power, not to mention exploring the world, even your own safety cannot be guaranteed.
According to the setting of New Day, only by defeating monsters in the copy also known as "Crack" can you obtain spiritual points to improve skills and rare career cards to become extraordinary.
If it was a free start, he would have probably killed a few slimes, bought weapons, practiced skills, and was ready to step into the rift.
But now, all his actions were restricted by the pirates and he couldn't develop well.
Moreover, the pirate mortality rate is quite high, so they recruit new crew members from time to time.
Who knows, one day I might be used as cannon fodder...
This is not a place to stay for long.
He must find a place to leave this ship and go to a safe place that is truly suitable for novices, so that he can develop smoothly and truly display his talents.
“Boy…”
A tall, thin man came right in front of him.
He is none other than Black Eye, the captain of the Sawshark under the Black Whale Regiment.
He was smoking a black pipe, was in his forties, had a beard, and there seemed to be no white in his eyes, only pure black.
Chen Qi looked at the other person. Xinri was an extremely large open world game with too many NPCs, and he had never seen this little captain on the forum.
The only thing he was sure of was that with his current strength, this unknown black-eyed captain could easily control his fate.
According to the agreement, whoever wins the duel will be able to get a job on the ship to make a living.
According to pirate rules, the work of everyone on board will be assigned by the captain.
If the other party abides by the agreement, I hope this will be a job suitable for "escape", Chen Qi prayed in his heart.
The black-eyed captain looked at Chen Qi and said:
"Little guy, I didn't expect you to be able to defeat Black Bull. This is really beyond my expectation. Your last blow was ruthless enough. Not fearing death is a compulsory course for every warrior among us.
But you know, according to the rules of our Witch Sea, any crew member infected with sea sickness is a plague and a scourge and should be buried in the sea immediately.
If it were one of those naval ships, you would have been tied up tightly and thrown into the sea.
But fortunately, we, the Black Whale Pirates, never care about these rules! You should be grateful.
Okay, okay, let me think about what kind of job I should assign to you."
I still have to thank you? Chen Qi complained in his heart.
Dark Eyes tapped his temple with his fingers and surveyed his ship:
"There is no shortage of crew members responsible for salvaging. Besides, you are a young man, you probably don't have any professional knowledge, and you haven't exercised well... Hmm... Are there any vacancies?"
"Captain, the guy who helped me deal with the herbs died again. Give him to me."
Chen Qi's ears suddenly stood up and his whole body trembled slightly.
On his left, a gentle female voice came into his ears.
