Pirate's Swordsman

Just as Daniel felt a pain in his balls, the bow of the boat hit the side of the bow, and Xia Nuo was staring at the group of sharks under the sea with a strange look on his face. .

"What a stupid fish to look at..."

He has telepathy with Baymax, so he knows much more about the gathering of sharks than Daniel knows.

Naturally, the swarm of eight hundred sharks cannot be gathered overnight. In fact, during the ten days that the Gale Pirates stayed on Frost Island, no sharks gathered in the first two days, until the early morning of the third day. , when Dabai was looking for food nearby, he accidentally entered a cave where black bull sharks gathered.

Different from sharks on the earth, this kind of shark called the black tusk shark is a social animal. Generally, it is at least seven meters in size when it reaches adulthood. Its fangs are extremely sharp. It likes to act in groups and hunt cooperatively. If there is a certain large group, , and even some medium-sized sea kings are their prey.

There are more than two hundred black sharks living in this underwater cave. They are the undisputed overlord of the sea in the waters near Frost Island. When they faced the sudden intrusion of Dabai, they first attacked in groups, with successive results. After several waves of fierce attacks were easily resolved by Dabai, he inexplicably chose to surrender and became Dabai's subordinate.

Xia Nuo guessed that this may be related to the fact that Dabai and them are of the same race and their bloodline is suppressed. Otherwise, even if they were replaced by those powerful sea kings, it would be impossible for these ferocious black sharks to surrender directly after defeat, and they would be so willing. look like.

Even the largest black shark group surrendered, not to mention the rest of the shark groups in the nearby waters. In the next few days, shark groups came to seek refuge one after another, and Dabai seemed to be interested, and eliminated a large number of those who were too weak. After the shark attack, he finally organized a sea army of more than 800 giant sharks.

"Did you see it? This is called the timely rain among sharks. The fish species call for protection. Do you understand?"

Xia Nuo sighed deeply, then patted Luo next to him who was lowering his head and pecking at the dried fish. He sighed and said, "Look at Dabai, the new employees in the next few years are so capable. You, you?" After following me for so many years and waiting to die, you can be regarded as the King of Eagles, so why don't you help me come out with the entire Black Eagle Army?"

Then he kicked him. Luo, who had not enjoyed such treatment for a long time, was caught off guard. His body suddenly staggered and he almost fell off the boat.

"You know how to eat salted fish every day, your brain is going crazy, you know?"

He poked Luo's forehead hard. Seeing the aggrieved look in his eyes, Xia Nuo suddenly felt relieved and stopped scolding him. He turned around and hummed a song and entered the cabin all the way.

…………

Six days later, in the training room.

Xia Nuo sat cross-legged on the floor, looking at Arashiri who was holding it across his chest. After a long time, he slowly exhaled.

"We are almost reaching the bottleneck..."

He muttered to himself, then frowned slightly and glanced at the sky outside the porthole.

"Difficult."

Nearly a year has passed in the blink of an eye since he promoted the wind-controlling swordsmanship to an advanced level in the Principality of Sambia. As his proficiency became higher and higher, he also clearly felt that the progress bar had increased recently. A substantial decline.

No matter how demanding daily training is, it can rarely increase proficiency. As for defeating enemies and practicing swordsmanship, although the situation is much better, it is still lagging behind compared to the previous gains.

If we continue at this pace, it will take at least two or three years to fill up the more than 4,000 proficiency levels that are still short of being promoted to master-level wind-controlling swordsmanship.

And all this allowed Xia Nuo, who had been conscious since then, to finally understand one thing - he had reached a bottleneck in the way of swordsmanship that was extremely difficult to break through.

If you can break through, your swordsmanship will naturally reach a higher level, and promotion to the master-level wind-controlling swordsmanship will be easy. But if you can't break through this bottleneck...

Xia Nuo shook his head, suddenly put Lan Qie back into its sheath, and slowly walked to the window.

After taking a few deep breaths, he finally got rid of the restlessness that had grown in his heart, returned to a state of clarity and tranquility, and his eyes gradually calmed down.

The practice of swordsmanship is to constantly hone oneself and see the true path. He has gritted his teeth and persisted through many difficulties in the past, but the difficulties and obstacles in front of him are nothing more than a big heart in the face of an unswerving determination.

In fact, he had vaguely expected that the difficulty of breaking through the master-level wind-controlling swordsmanship was definitely not comparable to the previous times. Even if the proficiency progress bar was full, without a deeper understanding of the wind-controlling swordsmanship, everything would be just a failure. It would be empty talk.

In the end, from the beginning of its birth, the system was only an auxiliary to help him master the basic blast swordsmanship and try to be on a similar starting line with the weird and powerful people in this world. In the end, he could only rely on himself.

"Continue to practice."

After his mind calmed down, Xia Nuo crossed his legs again and fell into meditation. He closed his hands slightly and entered a state of emptiness and clarity.

After leaving Frost Island, the Swift Wind had been sailing at sea for fifteen days.

In the past fifteen days, two or three islands have appeared in the surrounding sight. However, because the ship has purchased enough supplies, everyone did not choose to stay. Instead, they followed the record pointer and headed towards the next island on the route. Heading to the big island.

On the afternoon of this day, after the Gale sailed into a sea area, the originally mild and comfortable weather suddenly became gloomy. The sky was covered with dark clouds, the wind was blowing, and there was a faint sound of thunder in the distance.

"It looks like a storm is coming soon."

On the deck, Boatswain Drump, who was in charge of the helm, looked up at the sky and gave serious instructions: "Notify everyone so that everyone can be prepared to withstand the storm. Those on duty must pay more attention. The visibility on the sea is now low. Don't let the enemy get away from you." It's close by."

"understand!"

Several loud responses came from behind, but the next moment they were covered up by the huge thunder that suddenly exploded in the sky. At almost the same time, a thick bolt of lightning passed across, almost lighting up half of the sky. .

Rumble!

There was another even more deafening thunder, the waves rolled, and the whole ship shook suddenly at this moment. A young crew member was so frightened that his body trembled and fell directly to the ground, causing several companions around him to burst into laughter. .

"Tamir, it's been almost two years since we boarded the ship, why are you still so afraid of thunder!" A friend who was closest to him helped him up and joked with a smile, "Really, I'd like to see how scared you are after the last battle. You didn't vomit, and you killed a cadre with a reward of more than 6 million yuan. Everyone thought you had grown up, but they didn't expect you were still the same!"

The young crew member named Tamir was just fifteen years old and was one of the first crew members that Shano rescued from the underground prison. When he saw that everyone was laughing at him, he was not angry. He just snorted, a little unconvinced. He said, "Go, go, what's so funny? I'm obviously used to it, but the thunder this time is a bit too scary. I haven't seen it before..."

As soon as these words came out, there was another burst of laughter.

But Delump, who was experienced in sailing, did not smile. Instead, he looked up at the sky with lightning and thunder, and his eyes became a little solemn.

"Something's wrong..."
