Chapter 231: Beyond the Legend
The rainstorm gradually subsided, and the fragrance of the petals was gradually washed away by the rain.
Chen Qi held the Flower Witch's legs with his hands, carried her on his back, and boarded the Dagger of the Blood Blade Pirates.
The crew shouted.
"Saved."
"Don't forget to take the research materials from that abandoned naval base!"
The crew of the Dagger carried the valuables and documents on the ship one by one and hurriedly climbed onto the main ship of the Blood Blade Pirates.
"My crew! Where is the Gunfire Queen?"
On the deck, a tall man picked up the axe in his hand, and his heroic voice resounded through the sea.
Chen Qi's attention was attracted by the other party.
The other person had very thick beard and hair, wore simple heavy armor, had scars all over his face, had an upright figure, and solid shoulders. He looked like a huge mountain.
Veteran Gale, the giant hammer of the Blood Blade Pirates, a fourth-level blade flower legendary earth warrior, a drunkard with a terrible memory, one of the founders of the Blood Blade Pirates, and a legendary mentor.
Chen Qi remembered that this was a very popular NPC.
He not only has a variety of blade skill cards, but also some extremely powerful original martial arts, such as Tyrannical Fist, Iron Head Skill, Earth Axe, Drunken Fist, Earth Shield...
He is the combat instructor of the Bloody Blade Pirates' cadres. Every player who joins the Bloody Blade Pirates and is promoted to a cadre must undergo Gale's assessment.
In the player forum, veteran Gail is one of the best mentors if you want to master the fourth-level blade solution.
However, veteran General Gale has an extremely poor memory and does not like to participate in any combat meetings or discussions.
Veteran General Gale is a fighter who is focused on his craft. He prefers drinking to discussing in meetings, and then engaging in a hearty, physical fight with his opponent on the battlefield.
As a legend, he is undoubtedly one of the top fighters of the Blood Blade Pirates and a reassuring boulder.
When the crew members saw the veteran Gale, a heavy stone in their hearts finally fell.
Seeing that no one responded, veteran General Gale raised his voice and said again:
“Tell me, that damned Queen of Gunfire, where is Aunt Carol!
As long as I am here, I will not let her hurt you!"
Veteran Gale's voice was so deep and powerful, like a warm current, echoing in everyone's hearts.
A crew member silently stretched out his finger and pointed to the place where the sea was bubbling in the distance:
"Just now, under the spell of the Flower Witch, the Black Hunter threw her into the sea. She hasn't come up yet. It seems she drowned."
"???"
Even the battle-hardened veteran Gale couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Big Mom Carol was knocked away? The Pirate Queen drowned? This is as strange as the Black Ship Sea Dragon choking on water.
Chen Qi explained:
"Mr. Gale, maybe there are some strange things under this sea, and Aunt Carol is entangled by those things."
What strange thing, what strange thing could hold down that old woman... Gale held the long-handled axe and looked at the sea area.
I saw more and more bubbles emerging from the dark sea water.
Bang!
A mechanical arm suddenly emerged from the sea, with a large number of tentacles wrapped around it.
"Carol's arm, the shadow under the sea, there are so many monsters under the sea, under the tide, my knowledge is not enough..."
With breathing as steady as the mountains, veteran Gale tensed his muscles, gripped the long-handled axe, stepped forward suddenly, and plunged his feet into the steel deck!
Then he threw the long-handled axe suddenly and hit the arm!
The deck seemed unable to withstand this force and shook violently!
Along with a smooth parabola, a huge water wave exploded from a distance!
Then came the sound of painful wails!
Chen Qi slowly turned around and looked towards the sea.
A large amount of blue flames emerged from the sea. Two charcoal-like arms and countless black tentacles firmly grasped Carol's neck and thighs, and continued to pull her down to the bottom of the sea! Pull her down!
Veteran General Gale's pupils shrank and he said in a deep voice:
"The blue beast..."
"Without the Deep Sea Hunter's items and the Deep Sea Fire, I can't calm this guy down!
However, it has been a long time since I have fought against monsters on the sea."
Veteran Gail clenched his fists, feeling itchy, and took a step forward.
According to the legend, the blue beast is a human, but is as terrifying as a wild beast.
Madam Blood sighed:
"Gail, we have to leave as soon as possible. Even if we defeat the Blue Beast and Carol, our ship will be severely damaged. In the end, we will become food for other forces."
At present, there are more than just the Black Whale Group that have taken risks because of the trial ground.
Just recently, they encountered ships from the Ice Demon Pirates and Bonfire Energy Company.
As she spoke, Madam Xue frowned, her eyes full of sighs, and looked at Chen Qi:
"There is definitely more than one Black Whale Group targeting the Flower Witch and the Black Hunter's ships. We must leave as soon as possible."
Veteran General Gale raised his head and shouted:
"Return!"
Then, Madam Xue wiped the rain from the corners of her eyes and said to Chen Qi:
"Thank you for your hard work! We are very sorry that the flames of war have already been ignited and we were unable to arrive in the first place."
Suddenly, blood flowed down Chen Qi's black hair and onto his neck.
It’s the blood of the Flower Witch... Chen Qi turned his head and looked at the head of the Flower Witch leaning on his shoulder.
Her face was as pale as paper, her lips had lost their color and were trembling slightly, and each breath seemed particularly heavy, like a traveler who had walked in the desert for many days without drinking water. She was extremely weak, yet tenaciously maintaining the spark of life.
Fen's breathing and heartbeat were becoming weaker and weaker from their original rapid pace.
The situation is not optimistic... Chen Qi asked:
"Is there a doctor on board?"
Madam Blood nodded:
"I know a little bit about medicine, please follow me."
Chen Qi carried Fen on his back and followed Lady Blood, walking through the rain and into the cabin of the Blood Blade.
…
…
In the infirmary.
Chen Qi carefully placed Fen on his back and placed her on the sofa, then gently carried her to the bed and wrapped a bandage around her bleeding area.
"Finn, relax, it's okay..."
Fen lay quietly on a clean bed, wrapped in soft bandages. Her pale face and weak breathing still revealed the great pain she was enduring.
"You two, I'm really sorry that our Blood Blade Pirates were unable to stop Carol..."
While apologizing, Lady Blood took out a bowl of medicinal soup. When it reached the right temperature, she pried open her lips with a spoon and poured the soup into the Flower Witch's body.
Then, she opened her hands again, and green spiritual power emerged from her fingertips, forming a light green mist.
Healing technique!
With the healing smoke and medicinal soup, the Flower Witch's breathing gradually became steady, but the blood from the wound did not stop.
Mrs. Blood bit her lip:
"Black Hunter, I'm sorry, but with my ability, the Flower Witch's wound cannot be healed normally..."
Why does it feel like Madam Xue, as a legend, loves to apologize so much... Chen Qi thought for a moment and replied:
"Blood Flower Disease, this disease will make it more difficult for the Flower Witch's wounds to heal."
Madam Blood opened her mouth slightly:
"Bloodflower disease?"
The Flower Witch actually has this extremely rare disease!
"Can you handle it?"
Chen Qi asked.
Madam Xue lowered her head and thought for a while:
"Blood flower disease is extremely rare in Bei Country. This is the first time I have seen it. It is not difficult to maintain her life, but if she wants to recover completely, she may need more rare medicinal herbs. These medicinal herbs may take us some time to get."
Is that so... Chen Qi nodded and touched Fen's hot forehead.
Fortunately, Finn's liberation time was not long, and the injuries he suffered were still within a controllable range.
Then, Madam Blood emphasized again:
"Don't worry, Mr. Black Hunter, you went to the Navy to study the abandoned base for our mission, but we were unable to arrive in time..."
Mrs. Blood felt particularly guilty because the rescue was late!
Madam Blood bent down slightly, her long blood-red hair falling to the ground, and her hands on her chest:
"Don't worry, Mr. Black Hunter. From now on, the Blood Blade Pirates will not let their benefactor down. We will do our best to make the Flower Witch recover as soon as possible."
"Um……"
Chen Qi nodded.
Lady Blood is a legend, but her tone is too soft.
However, this is indeed a good thing...Chen Qi couldn't help feeling happy.
After a series of events, the Flower Witch and the Bloody Blade Pirates became allies again.
However, the price paid was also extremely heavy.
Chen Qi lowered his head and looked at Fen.
The Flower Witch would need at least ten days to fully recover from her injuries.
Bang!
There was a knock on the door outside!
Madam Blood covered the Flower Witch with the bed sheet and said coldly:
"Come in."
A petite figure and a tall figure pushed open the door and walked into the infirmary.
It's the veteran Gale, and Little Red Riding Hood.
"Madam Blood, and Black Hunter, hello! I am a soldier of the Blood Blade Pirates, and I used to be a marine!"
Veteran Gail made a brief introduction, then patted Little Red Riding Hood and motioned for her to bend down to express her gratitude.
Little Red Riding Hood was stunned for a moment and bent down.
Chen Qi asked:
"Mr. Gale, what's the situation outside the ship?"
Veteran General Gale said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, no ship dares to step within my arm's reach."
As he spoke, veteran General Gale looked at the injured Flower Witch and couldn't help but sigh:
"I'm so sorry. It's clearly our business, but we put you in such great danger."
As long as you are safe... Chen Qi felt relieved and forced a smile.
"No, the Flower Witch and I are also going to the Trial Land. This is also very important to us."
"No, if it weren't for you! With Fenrir and the Dagger's little guys, it would be impossible for us to even reach the abandoned research site of the Navy, let alone step into the trial site!!!"
Veteran General Gale drank a bottle of strong liquor and sat down:
"Now, under the tide of the rift, the young men of our Blood Blade Pirates are so cowardly that they can't even defend their own territory properly."
As he spoke, the veteran General Gale patted Little Red Riding Hood beside him:
"For example, this little girl next to me is always causing trouble for me! When someone confessed to her, she beat him up!"
"I……"
Little Red Riding Hood clenched her fists, her face flushed, and she couldn't help but look at Mrs. Blood.
At this moment, Madam Xue smiled slightly and asked:
"Gail, why are there so many pursuers in this sea right now? Logically, it's just the research data of the naval base, which shouldn't attract the hunting group of Bonfire Energy Company."
At present, there are more than fifty warships near Red Maple Island!
Among them, more than five major forces are involved!
This is already a huge scale, and even this collision of ships is enough to become the spark of a major war.
And all this was caused by a notice issued from an abandoned naval base!
In Madam Blood's opinion, this notice was not enough to cause so many forces to compete.
Is the information held by the Flower Witch really so important?
"Um……"
Veteran General Gale said silently:
"The witch's trial ground involves witch class cards, plus the flower witch and the black hunter. It's not surprising that it attracts so many forces."
Mrs. Blood nodded, looking curious.
"besides……"
At this point, veteran Gale was silent for a moment:
"Legend is the pinnacle of most extraordinary people. If you want to surpass legend, under the laws of the new sun, you can only become a border hunter, complete your service at the border of our world, fight against the monsters on the border, and return home in glory. Only then can you achieve it...
This is a thorny road that leads to death but no life.
But in this world, surpassing legends is not the only way.”
Beyond the legend...Chen Qi also showed a curious look.
Among players, the fourth level is the pinnacle, and the road above the legend often only exists in some main line clues and some unopened areas.
And undoubtedly, the main plot of Witch Sea also involves this path.
Of course, there are other more common 'roads' besides these.
For example, organizations such as the Black Whale Group and the Poseidon Pirates preach within their ranks that they have mastered certain methods that can allow people to transform into dragons, becoming beings above legends and close to gods.
Of course, most of these roads are "scams".
Veteran Gale continued:
"The Ice Witch is a saint who is above the legend. She is not a marginal hunter, nor a vessel cultivated by the nobles, but she possesses the power comparable to that of a demigod, which is called the power of a saint...
According to the legend, the Ice Witch knew a path leading to the legend and buried it in the Witch's Coffin. The Witch Trial Land is an important part of this legend.
It is not surprising that a real witch trial site attracts so many forces."
Veteran Gale recalls the past.
The Ice Witch is a real legend that appeared in the Witch Sea. Because of this, in the eyes of many extraordinary forces, the Witch Trial Land is even more attractive than the treasure of the deep-sea hunter.
"I see……"
Madam Xue nodded, then she moved closer to Chen Qi and asked curiously:
"Mr. Black Hunter, regarding my commission, um... is whether you have seen any trace of my husband, the Blood Emperor, in the Witch Trial Ground..."
The moment he heard the Blood Emperor's words, veteran General Gale let out a heavy breath:
"This rubbish, we don't need him anymore in the Blood Blade Pirates!!"
“Don’t be like this…”
Madam Xue clasped her hands together and looked at Chen Qi expectantly.
“…”
Chen Qi blinked and looked at the nervous Little Red Riding Hood again.
Um……
Based on what he knows now.
First, Little Red Riding Hood is the Witch of Blades.
Second, the Blade Witch’s profession card was taken away by the Blood Emperor.
Madam Xue, your heroic husband may have... Chen Qi didn't know how to complain for a moment, so he coughed twice and replied:
"Madam, you can ask Fenrir about this matter after he wakes up."
At this moment, veteran Gale decisively interrupted:
"The Blood Blade Pirates don't need a useless runaway! Instead, they need truly powerful young blood!
Mr. Black Hunter, you sound very young!!”
“…”
Why does it feel like veteran Gail has completely given up on the Blood Emperor... Chen Qi couldn't help but frown.
Veteran Gale continued:
"Mr. Black Hunter, do you want anything as a reward? As long as I can do it, I can give you anything!!"
As he spoke, veteran Gale drank a glass of wine and patted his chest heavily.
It's the end of the month again. Thank you all for your monthly tickets and subscriptions, and for catching bugs! Thank you very much (ω)! Here is a sad little blue flower for the end of the weekend.
