Chapter 248 This Is Bad.

Chapter 248 This is bad... (Happy New Year)

"Hurry, everyone get ready!"

Marko, wearing the same jacket as Black Jack, took his pirate gunners to receive the new bullets from the mechanical craftsman Aronillo.

Since he separated from Wayne, he was appointed as the captain of the Ninth Squad by Black Jack based on the bullet blueprint. In addition to Mosquera and the others who followed him out of the Caster City-State, there were also several pirates who were good at using muskets.

Therefore, their Ninth Squad was nicknamed "Musketeers" by other pirates.

After twenty days, Marco decided to modify all the muskets in the team to adapt them to the new bullets after discussing with the mechanical craftsman.

Although the workload was huge and the process was very difficult, from the subsequent training, the power of the new muskets and bullets was almost doubled after they were combined.

After understanding the effect of the firearms modification, Black Jack also ordered other pirates who used muskets as their main weapons to modify them to improve their overall strength.

In this way, the "musketeers" of the Ninth Squadron have completely established their foothold on the Bekli, and Marco has some confidence in the future.

"Captain, you must pay attention to your position in the stormy sea, especially us gunmen."

A pirate gunner who has been on the Bekli for several years stood on the edge of the mast at the stern, tied a rope around his waist, and then fastened his shoes to the protruding buckles on the deck.

Marco looked at his movements and couldn't help wondering: "Dax, isn't this locking yourself to death? If you encounter danger..."

The Cordo Sea is treacherous, not to mention the storm that is covering the sky and the sun. Once the deep-sea mutants get close to you, the buckles under your feet and the ropes on your body are likely to lock you up.

"Trust others!" Dax showed two rows of white teeth on his dark face, and laughed: "This is not what I said, but what Jack and First Mate Lothilia said. Look at the positions of the other teams around us..."

Marco followed his gaze and saw that the other three teams assigned to the stern were evenly distributed on the left and right sides of the ship, surrounding them in the middle.

He vaguely understood that this was the protection of their ninth team?

"Most of the combatants on the deck have extraordinary bloodlines that strengthen their bodies. Other weak ones are either mechanical gunners in the cabin or gunners like us who need to be protected."

After fixing his body firmly on the deck, Dax then checked the musket and loaded bullets to make final preparations.

"Captain, we will rely on you to protect us when we fight later."

Marco nodded, waved the lantern staff a few times, and said solemnly: "I will!"

After going to sea for so long, it was the first time he experienced such a naval battle.

The last time he saw Wayne, he was just a bystander, watching the slowly emerging projection of the Lord of Dawn in the sky, silently accepting his own weakness.

Now, he has put himself in the right position - since he is weak, he should work harder to catch up with the people in front!

This is also the main reason why he chose to go to sea!

"Malco!"

At this time, Walid flashed over, without the unremarkable smile on his face, and took out a space ring with a serious look, saying: "The [Explosive Sniper Rifle] made by Wayne has arrived, quickly distribute it to Dax and others, so that they can get familiar with it before entering the sea!"

There are a total of sixteen [Explosive Sniper Rifles]. In addition to the six that Milus bought with his own money, the remaining ten gunners who can use spiritual power to activate the runes on the guns are assigned to Marco's team.

"The sniper rifle has arrived?"

Marco's eyes lit up. He still remembered the scene when Wayne used a sniper rifle to shoot deep-sea mutants. The power was simply abnormally strong!

"Also, be sure to listen to the instructions. I will cooperate with Boss Jack at the helm to command the battles of each team."

"Understood!"

After Walid left, Marco quickly took out the [Explosive Sniper Rifle] and did not let the pirate gunners who had fixed their positions gather. He directly handed the guns to everyone one by one.

"The new weapons have arrived, get familiar with them quickly!"

"Great!"

"I've waited for so long, and finally got it!"

The gunners who were just very satisfied with their weapons put their short-handled muskets into their holsters one by one, holding the newly acquired [Explosive Sniper Rifle], and couldn't wait to try the feel.

"Hey, why do I feel that this gun is different from the one in the previous one?"

"There is an extra scope, damn, it's so clear-"

"I just tried it, and I can see at least ten kilometers away, which is far beyond the range of my spiritual perception."

"How about trying it?"

Bang!

A crisp gunshot startled Marco and others. They looked at each other and found that the gun was not fired from this side.

"It's those bastards from Milus, they must be testing their guns too! Let's do it too!"

"Captain, help us find a target!"

"Okay!"

Marco nodded, jumped onto the observation deck, looked at the turbulent sea ahead, glanced a few times, found a deep-sea mutant that was constantly stirring on the sea surface, and shouted: "Left, eight kilometers away, target..."

Bang, bang, bang...

Before he finished speaking, ten gunmen had completed their aiming and shooting actions.

The rune power on the [Explosive Sniper Rifle] shone brightly, and the two runes of rapidity and explosion acted on the bullet. At the same time, the bullet with the characteristic of death pollution penetrated the body of the deep-sea mutant in the blink of an eye.

"Roar——"

The terrifying mutant waving several tentacles in the distance was penetrated by the bullet. Pustules spread rapidly, and part of the body withered strangely. There was also the explosion effect of the explosive rune, leaving bloody holes on its body.

The next second, its body, which was comparable to a sloop, fell to the sea.

Mosquera widened his eyes, "Fuck, dead?!"

"A mutant with destructive power comparable to that of a director-level extraordinary in the sea area, couldn't withstand a round of shooting?"

"This power is too terrifying!"

Seeing this scene, Marco's handsome face flashed with excitement, shaking his head to look left and right, and quickly found the next suitable target.

"Quick, once again, this time only five people can shoot."

He wanted to test the power of the sniper rifle to see how many shooters were needed to kill a director-level mutant.

"Yes, yes..."

Marco couldn't help but be excited. With the blessing of these sniper rifles, he, the captain of the ninth team, could really gain a foothold in the Bekli.

In this way, he would have no worries and could focus on improving his own strength.

Or, leave the Bekli and become a captain like Black Jack!

Just when Marco and others were intensively testing the [Explosive Sniper Rifle], Black Jack and Youan at the bow also made new discoveries.

"Black carriage, is it really a carriage?"

Black Jack's rough face was stern, and his eyes looked at the center of the storm in the distance with cold eyes, "I thought it was the name of a ship."

Yuan did not respond to his black humor, frowned slightly, and said: "Jack, something is wrong."

"Hmm? Did you find anything?"

"No, I just think the storm sea is too quiet."

"Quiet?"

Black Jack was stunned and observed carefully.

But he was not like Yuan, a spiritual wizard with strong spiritual power. He looked for a long time and still found nothing.

"Are you seeing it wrong? Except for the carriage and the so-called gravedigger driving it, everything else is the same as a normal storm scene."

"Besides, it was chaotic and noisy, with lightning and thunder, how can it be said to be quiet?"

Yuan glanced at him and said unhappily: "You only see these surfaces?"

"You just say what you found."

"I'm still looking, but..."

Yuan vaguely felt that the storm sea was very unusual.

According to the result of the last call, the people on the Alaniga should be with these gravediggers.

And during this period, the Black Pearl also found many ships to follow the moving storm sea area. What about those ships?

Unless someone consciously cleared out those exploration ships.

Then their purpose...

"Jack, my advice is not to enter that sea area for the time being. I suspect..."

Before they finished speaking, the two of them looked to the side and back.

"It seems that your suspicion has come true." Black Jack stared at that direction indifferently, "It's the Alaniga!"

"Suade?"

Yuan frowned. With his strength and spiritual perception range, he was actually invaded within 200 kilometers.

"Not him!"

Black Jack shook his head, looking at the five-masted sailing ship that slowly appeared in his field of vision, and said solemnly: "That's the first mate of the Alaniga, 'Ripper' Domitri Pruett!"

"Pruett? The one I know?"

"It's him! You should still remember what happened that year, right?"

Yuan recalled for a few seconds, and a smile appeared on his face. Looking at Black Jack, he said mischievously: "It seems that we can't escape this time. He won't let us go easily."

"You can still laugh..."

Black Jack pouted, but when he thought of the things in his youth, he also laughed, "But you are right, we can't enter that sea area, Walid!"

"Boss?"

"Right full rudder!"

"Right full rudder!"

Walid signaled the helmsman beside him to do so, muttering in his heart.

Not going into the storm?

But just as the Bekli was anxious to turn the bow to get rid of the storm and the Alaniga that was surrounded from behind, a collision suddenly came from the bottom of the ship.

"Boom!"

The entire Bekli shook violently and was almost overturned by the impact!

"What's going on?"

"Look over there!"

As the impact sounded, a terrifying monster, dragging dozens of huge tentacles covered with spikes, slowly emerged from the sea. The tentacles surrounded the head in the middle, and the scarlet single eye stared at the Bekli under it without blinking, as if looking at a small toy.

"Fuck, that bastard also found a deep-sea monster!"

"This is a bit bad..."

Black Jack stood steadily on the deck, not affected by the impact at all.

But the pirates behind him were caught off guard and almost threw away their weapons.

"Damn, what is attacking?"

"It's a deep-sea monster, hurry up, open the magic circle!"

"Before that, everyone should not look directly at the monster!" Black Jack roared, and then looked at the cabin behind, "Walid!"

"I know!"

Walid looked solemn in the cab, took out the "Forbidden Object 2-14 Storm Horn" and blew it hard.

Woo——

As the dull horn sounded, new clouds quickly gathered over the Bekli, vaguely connected to the stormy sea in the distance.

As this dark cloud appeared, Walid's body was entangled with strange original power, and at the same time, there was a ghostly shadow attached to his body.

"wind!"

Walid waved the storm horn, and the phantom of the resentful spirit looked up to the sky and roared, and a rune array flashed out of thin air.

Immediately afterwards, under the influence of the magic circle, the speed of the Bekli beneath him suddenly increased. Even the waves affected by the storm seemed like flat ground, without causing any impact on the ship.

Buzz——

At the same time, the rune array on the ship was also opened simultaneously, making all the pirates who were threatened by the deep sea monsters breathed a sigh of relief.

Euan raised his head and looked at the newly emerged deep sea monster, "I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

"Is it the one on Darkman Island?" Black Jack thought for a moment, "I remember it was the one I met Wayne before..."

"It seems that the power of the Twilight Sect in the sea is more terrifying than imagined."

"Now is not the time to talk about this. If we don't block it, we can't leave!"

With that said, Black Jack activated his original power, "Fez, Ti, Minxi!"

His tall body expanded rapidly, each vertebrae bulged, the ribs on his chest turned outwards and became thicker, and the tiny muscles entangled around and covered the bones...

The next second, he turned into a terrifying sea dragon that was comparable in size to the deep sea monster, blocked in front of the Bekli, and rushed towards the deep sea monster.

"Roar--"

"Euan, you take them first, I will rush over later!"

"Tsk!"

Euan shook his head, still so reckless.

However, the current situation is critical, and Black Jack's extraordinary bloodline is indeed more suitable for fighting on the sea.

At this moment, a figure emerged from the five-masted sailboat that was getting closer and closer to the side and rear.

"Hahaha...Jack, why did you run when you saw me?"

"Domitri the bastard!"

Hearing that voice, Black Jack cursed angrily and roared: "Go to hell!"

"Don't be so angry," the figure who quickly chased over said playfully, "For you, I specially found a big monster. How about I treat you well?"

"damn it!"

"You concentrate on dealing with that monster, and leave the crybaby in the back to me."

Crybaby?

Domitri, who was pursuing from behind, paused and quickly scanned the Bekli. He soon spotted the figure standing on the bow of the ship.

"Euan?! Why is it you?!"

"Domitri Pruitt, long time no see."

Euan looked at Domitri coldly. Even though he was hundreds of kilometers away, he could still clearly see the surprise on his face.

"Ho ho... we haven't seen each other for a long time. It's great to be able to kill him this time!"

…

…

Wei En didn't know what happened in the stormy sea. At this time, he was concentrating on drawing a spell rune.

[You successfully drew the Howl of Fear rune. Special rewards: +3 survival points, +1 spiritual level. 】

"The hundredth rune..."

Wei En looked at the new runes that could add points on the panel, and then upgraded the Howl of Fear rune to the full level.

[Terror Howl Rune Level 1 (1/1), should it be improved? 】

【promote! 】

【……】

[Congratulations, your rune knowledge: the Howl of Fear rune has been upgraded to the full level. Effect: The success rate of drawing this rune is 100%. 】

[Congratulations on obtaining a full-level rune knowledge. Your rune proficiency promotion progress is: 100/100. Special reward: Spirit level +1. 】

[Congratulations, your rune proficiency has been successfully promoted to rune proficiency: 0/1000. Special rewards: Survival Points +20, Resilience Level +6, Spirit Level +6. 】

As the level of runes on the panel changed to proficiency level, a huge amount of runes knowledge poured into his mind.

"The content is much less than the entry-level knowledge last time..."

Although there is also a lot of knowledge about runes at the skilled level, it is only half of the entry-level knowledge.

With Wei En's current spiritual level and original strength, he had mastered one-tenth of this knowledge as soon as he entered it, and he was still absorbing the remaining content at a terrifying speed.

"Know everything, it seems that the decision to study and absorb the introductory rune knowledge every day was the right one."

Wei En looked through some contents. Compared with the entry-level rune knowledge, the proficient level only has some more rune patterns and the layout of the rune array.

The screams of the gathering, the prison of the undead, the ice storm, the path of fire...the rune patterns, as well as the methods and origins of drawing these runes, etc., were all clearly reflected in his mind.

After Wei En read through the knowledge in his mind, he took out a rune array pattern from the space ring, looked at the complex patterns and nodes on it, and murmured:

"In this way, I will be more confident about the layout of the magic circle."

The pattern of this rune array is inspired by [Ironheart Fury]. According to the simplest rune arrangement, it adds weakening runes that weaken physical strength and mental power, as well as a poison rune.

As long as he is within the coverage of this magic circle, he can not only enhance his own defense ability through the power of the Solid Heart Rune, but also weaken the enemy. At the same time, he can activate the Rage Burst and cooperate with the Boiling Blood Spell to further enhance his explosive power.

There are only four major rune powers and thirty-two rune nodes...

"It can be improved."

Among the skilled rune knowledge just obtained, there is a rune magic circle diagram from the Third Age, which is a pattern similar to a hexagram, which can superimpose six rune powers to form a new rune magic circle.

Wei En thought for a few seconds and gave up this plan.

First, after adding two runes, it is necessary to re-define the design and test, which takes more time.

Second, if a new rune magic circle is really used, it will increase the difficulty of arrangement and increase the risk of being discovered.

Moreover, the list of materials provided to Theresa before must be overturned and started again...

Thinking of this, Wei En put the parchment on the table and looked at the basic attributes on the panel.

Survival Points: 102320

Wayne looked thoughtfully at the basic attributes, skills and remaining survival points on the panel.

With his current strength, he is enough to deal with ordinary transcendents at the level of the Hand of the Kingdom.

But if it is a top-level strongman like Ales who is about to enter the legendary stage, even if he uses the two taboo items "Taboo 2-77 Karel's Whisper" and "Taboo 1-83 Demon Clown" at the same time, he may not be able to resist the opponent.

In addition, after the last attack on the gravedigger, the progress of the harmonica's out-of-control has almost reached the limit...

Therefore, he needs to find another clear fulcrum to pry the mountain of Ales Coulibaly.

"Fulcrum..."

Wayne sat back in a high-back chair and went through the spells he had mastered in his mind.

Undead Summoning, Mechanical Box, Elemental Heart... Mental Shock, Frost Shock...

Not many of them have reached level 5, and most of the spells are still at level 4, but he has too few survival points to upgrade all of them.

"Heart of Flesh and Blood!"

After thinking about it, the only spell that can greatly improve his strength in a short period of time is the Heart of Flesh and Blood.

According to the experience of adding points last time, his total attributes are now 48432, and if he upgrades the Heart of Flesh and Blood by one level...

"The increase of nearly 20,000 basic attributes is almost comparable to all the attributes of a legendary transcendent."

After calculating, Wayne frowned.

Attribute improvement is certainly a good thing, but he can only choose to use close range to fight against Alais.

Boiling Blood, Strong Wall, Healing, Shadow Step...

He looked at the spinning spell pattern on the driver's forehead. At present, the spells of his flesh and blood strengthening system are almost all auxiliary...

"The fulcrum has been found!"

After considering it, Wayne preliminarily finalized the improvement plan for the next period of time.

In addition to the Heart of Flesh and Blood, he also needs a spell ability with a powerful flesh and blood strengthening system.

In this way, his toughness level, plus the strengthening effect of the Boiling Blood spell, can exert the current strength to a certain extent.

Powerful, strong burst, preferably longer duration...

I'm not in a hurry, I'll look for it in the exchange manual later.

If not, you can also try to exchange it from the Ghost and Spirit Mystic School.

Thinking of this, Wei En smiled.

With the preliminary response plan, he has a lot more confidence in the arrangement on Alexei Island this time.

But before that, he needs to know more about the current situation of Ales and others.

"Now it depends on the ability of that little maid..."

PS: I will adjust the update time later, 8 o'clock or 12 o'clock in the morning, it's too late at night, staying up all night... Sorry sorry.

PPS: Ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket, hehehe...
