The Midnight Owl

The scolders on the deck didn't have so much time to "fight among themselves", and immediately threw themselves into the fight with the tentacles after scolding, and didn't even look at the troublemaker above.

The man on the mast suddenly stood up, holding the bow in one hand, and slowly drew an arrow from the quiver at his waist with the other.

Qian Ai's eyes widened in disbelief: "Fuck, it's not for real..."

Take a bow, shoot an arrow.

The movements are done in one go, flowing like clouds and flowing water.

A feathered arrow carrying the wind rushed towards the railing on the side where his three teammates were facing their backs with the momentum of breaking bamboo, and was firmly stuck in the tentacles that hooked up at unknown times. The arrow sank deeply, and the flesh was white. His tentacles trembled.

Xu Wang and the others were facing this side, and they could see clearly.

Qian Ai is already stupid, the same arrow in his hand is not as good as a child's slingshot, at least the child will not be crushed by the rubber band, but it becomes a real cold weapon in other people's hands. He's so fucking handsome!With the bow and the shooting of the arrow, it is so powerful that it explodes into the sky, as elegant as a fairy!

The people on the mast didn't look at this side at all, and continued to draw the bow, the movements were not tense at all, and stretched as if they were practicing in an archery hall.

The second arrow came through the wind and entered the tentacles again.

third branch.

Fourth branch.

The tentacle was like a live target, pierced into a hedgehog by successive feather arrows.

By the fifth branch, the tentacles finally retracted into the sea with "thorns" all over them.

All this happened behind the back of those three teammates, and those three didn't realize it.

Xu Wang was worried for them, wishing he could reach out and turn their heads back!For teammates who don't like what they say, you can't just listen, but also have to look at the actual actions!If he only listened to Wu Sheng's words, ten breakups wouldn't be too many!

However, the three couldn't hear Xu Wang's inner cry, they were still fighting with the first tentacle on that side, and with their "efforts", the number of tentacles on that side had increased to five.

Zhan Wuzha's statement is indeed not pleasant, but now it looks like the truth.

Although the three of them are not good at fighting, they are so talkative, what should they do if they can't beat a tentacle three-on-one?scold.

In the noisy sea waves, only the three of them bluffed.

"What the hell is this—"

"I've had enough of this damn place—"

"Damn, I told you not to use up all the stationery, now I can't take out anything—"

Xu Wang sighed, scolded the sea monster and scolded the owl, and then blamed his teammates after scolding the owl, this wave of operations is very good.

Only when there is a comparison, there is a gap. He now feels that teammates like Wu Sheng, Qian Ai, and Kuang Jinxin are angels.

There should still be arrows in the quiver, but the man on the mast suddenly sat down again.

Xu Wang didn't know if he believed that only the deck railing on this side was his area of ​​responsibility, and the other side, let him die; Great use, drop in the bucket.

In short, he sat back, with one leg bent, with a calm and leisurely posture.

Xu Wang wanted to take a look at his expression now, and turned to look for the telescope, but found that he was not the only one with such curiosity—Kuang Jinxin was already looking up through the lens barrel.

"What's the matter?" Seeing his eyes widening, Xu Wang couldn't help asking curiously.

"It's so beautiful..." Kuang Jinxin sighed sincerely.

Xu Wang was taken aback by this completely out-of-the-box answer, and suspected that he and Kuang Jinxin hadn't chatted on the same channel: "What are you watching?"

"It's that archer up there," Kuang Jinxin arbitrarily named the "colleague" on the opposite side a name that he thought was very cool, then gave up the binoculars, and couldn't wait to urge Xu Wang, "Look at the captain, really, he looks so good." It's like a painting!"

Xu Wang put the lens tube on silently. He thought that the man used some amazing stationery. Can a man's appearance be beautiful?No matter how handsome he is, he just looks like Wu Sheng...

Sorry, this is the second time today that he feels ashamed of his ignorance.

Xu Wang didn't know how to describe a person's outline and eyebrows. He only knew that the appearance of the person on the mast had already left the category of "good-looking". Words like "handsome" and "beautiful" would look pale in front of that face. , Kuang Jinxin is right when he said "like a painting", that is, his eyebrows are picturesque and not like ordinary dust.

It stands to reason that if a man is too good-looking, he will look feminine, but the one on the mast is not. He is beautiful in a very precise way. If he is too much, he is too tough, and if he is less, he will be a mother.His skin is very fair, and there is a mole at the corner of his eye, which gives him a touch of classical temperament. Even if he is leisurely watching the three teammates below him busy at work, and his whole person is indifferent, you still think He is like a scholarly son, admiring Yunjuan Yunshu.

Chi Yingxue, Xu Wang recited the name silently in his heart, feeling very envious.It turns out that the name has been decided, so there is really no need to worry about the appearance.

Just like spring snow reflected in a clear pond, a branch of pear blossoms slant.

Satisfied with curiosity, Xu Wang let go of the binoculars, and Kuang Jinxin posted it up again as if he hadn't seen enough, but he was startled after watching it for two seconds: "Captain, he smiled at me!"

Xu Wang raised his head again, he couldn't see the expression on the mast clearly, but he could see the movement clearly.At some point, the man had turned his head to look this way, apparently realizing that they were watching.Xu Wang didn't know whether he was smiling or not, but he clearly saw the man raising his arm and waving to him and Kuang Jinxin faintly.

My teammates are going to be "killed", so I still have free time and the crowd SayHi?

Xu Wangzheng was speechless, and the opposite side of the ship, which had been pulled so badly by the sea monster, capsized completely in a sudden big wave.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and before the people on board even had time to call for help, the sailboat was upside down on the sea.The mast, the cabin, and the deck are all gone, leaving only the bottom of the ship, floating alone on the sea.

Soon, the bottom of the boat was gone too—the monster dragged the whole boat into the depths of the sea.

The sea calmed down in an instant, the wind stopped, the waves calmed down, and thick fog gradually rose.

In the appalling silence, Xu Wang shuddered. If there hadn't been Qian Ai's desperate Hot Wheels just now, they might have been engulfed by the icy sea water.

"He's not saying hello to us," Kuang Jinxin said suddenly, "he's saying goodbye to us."

Xu Wang was still afraid and didn't react: "Who?"

"Archer." Kuang Jinxin said.

Xu Wang: "..."

Sometimes destroying the atmosphere is also a good medicine against fear.

Taking Kuang Jinxin back to the deck to join his teammates, Wu Sheng looked at the silent direction of the ship with a dignified expression, while Qian Ai was directly disheartened: "What route should I choose? I'll just choose the dog belt..."

Xu Wang was startled, and quickly raised his arms to look.

I was so focused on fighting sea monsters that I completely forgot about choosing a route.

Fortunately, the options are still scrolling, and such tragedies as "timeout disqualification" or "timeout default selection" did not happen.

The fog was getting thicker and filled the surrounding sea. At this time, there was another boat more than ten meters away, and even with a telescope, I couldn't see anything clearly.

"We have to choose quickly," Xu Wang said, "This fog is not a good sign."

"Just Treasure Beach." Wu Sheng withdrew his gaze, "Flying Island, I suspect it's a place where you can move the coordinates."

"Isn't that better?" Kuang Jinxin didn't understand.

Qian Ai rolled his eyes: "Brother, our luggage is still in the waiting hall."

Kuang Jinxin frowned sadly: "'Owl' is so powerful, and there are flying islands, can't you help us solve the luggage problem?"

"The ability should be there, but I don't think it will be so considerate." Qian Ai has given up hope in this malicious world.

Kuang Jinxin didn't have any other emotions, but asked for advice seriously: "But even if we went to Treasure Beach, we still moved."

"With the speed of this boat, four or five hours can't go far." Xu Wang understood Wu Sheng's meaning of choosing Treasure Beach, "We went to Treasure Beach, took the treasure, returned to reality and then rushed back At the airport, as soon as the plane flies, the luggage must be brought back.”

Qian Ai frowned: "There must be treasures in Treasure Beach?"

Xu Wang said, "Of course, how about calling it Treasure Beach?"

Qian Ai frowned deeper: "Are you sure the luggage is still there when we return to the airport?"

Kuang Jinxin said: "Of course, there are our documents in it. No matter who picks it up, it will be handed over to the lost and found office at the airport."

Qian Ai: "..."

Such a simple and rude captain, such a blindly optimistic teammate, he is still alive now, grateful heart, thank fate TAT

thump.

There was a knocking sound below the deck.

thump.

dong dong.

There is no warning, but it can't stop when it rings.

In this deathly silent sea of ​​thick fog, it was like a ghost knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

"I'll go," Qian Ai tried her best to get close to the military division, "It won't happen that the octopus monster is gone and the water monster will come again..."

"No, the water monster just sang directly." Wu Sheng had a good reason, and his voice seemed very courageous, but he refused to take another step forward, raised his eyebrows and shouted at Wang Yanghai, "Who—"

Xu Wang was speechless: "Who are you asking when you knock on the door..."

"I, Mao Qiping—"

Really, yes.

The four of them probed their heads together and looked at the sea under the railing, only to see a floating ball approaching their boat at some point. There was a skylight in the upper part of the ball, and a man in his early thirties was sitting inside, looking up. Warmly wave to them.

Eyes met, the men immediately got up, stretched out their hands from the skylight, and knocked on their wooden hull twice, and finally smiled brightly, showing their white teeth, as if to say, well, that's how I knocked just now, I Be smart.

"Your friend?" Xu Wang asked Wu Sheng.

It's normal for him to guess like this, because the question and answer just now, coupled with Mao Qiping's familiar tone, really doesn't look like an outsider.

As a result, Wu Sheng shook his head blankly.

Xu Wang stared at him blankly for a while, and finally believed that the person next to him was really meeting by chance, and immediately looked at Mao Qiping again speechlessly: "Friend, as a stranger, should you continue to introduce yourself after registering your name?"

Mao Qiping patted his forehead angrily: "I was negligent!" Then he rummaged through the small bag he carried without raising his head and introduced himself, "I am a resident here, I come in every night, but If you don’t form a team and don’t break through the barriers. When I saw you, you just came in and your eyes were dark. I’m here to inquire, and I have all kinds of information. It’s guaranteed to be true and reliable. If you fake it, you will be fined ten times, and the price will be clearly marked.

He finally found what he wanted out of the bag, poked it on a thin stick similar to chopsticks, and pressed his thumb, the thin stick stretched out one by one, and finally handed the paper stuck on the tip of the stick to the In front of four people.

"This is a copy of my ID card, driver's book, and the first page of the household registration book. It is an absolute guarantee of character and integrity in business!" Mao Qiping held up the telescopic pole with one hand and patted his chest with the other.

Wu Sheng: "..."

Qian Ai: "..."

Kuang Jinxin: "..."

Xu Wang: "You've mosaiced all the key information, the ghost can see the sincerity!!!"

"No, what I want is a sense of ritual, which makes me look professional," Mao Qiping retracted the telescopic rod one by one, took off the copy and put it away again, "But I can't really give you information to make you human, after all, I am also procrastinating outside. It’s not good for the family to bring the things here to the outside.”

He came in every night but didn't go through the barrier. For some reason, Xu Wang thought of Sun Jiang.

That ex-partner was also unwilling to go to Shaanxi with them because he couldn't let go of his family. If this idea remained unchanged, then Sun Jiang could only go into the snow field every day and stay alone night after night.

In contrast, the one at the bottom of the boat is much more moisturised, high-spirited and flushed.

"This is the endless sea, you must have received the information in the cheat sheet." Before Xu Wang and the others could speak, Mao Qiping said to himself, "This does not belong to any level, but the transition zone between levels. When you leave the coordinates of the old checkpoint but haven’t arrived at the coordinates of the new checkpoint, you will be teleported here after you come in. Those who have a team will have a boat, and those who don’t have a team like me will give a ball..."

"Teleportation?" Wu Sheng grasped the key words.

"Yes," Mao Qiping looked up and searched before finding the person to chat with, "The Endless Sea is based on provinces. Whichever province you are sucked into, you will enter the corresponding Endless Sea of ​​that province. But the landing point is the same as what you enter They are all in a fixed area. Take Shaanxi as an example, whether you are in Xianyang, Xi’an, Hanzhong, or Yan’an, the moment you are sucked in, you will be concentrated in this sea area..."

"In order to ensure the fairness of the competition?" Wu Sheng speculated along this line of thought.

"Smart!" Mao Qiping praised without hesitation, and I don't know whether he is sincere or polite. "The positions of the four lighthouses are fixed. If the coordinate points of each team's entry are far away, the team that is closer will take advantage of it." .”

"It's five o'clock?" Wu Sheng asked.

"Back to the original point, no matter how far you have sailed here, where you entered from, and where you will be after you return." Mao Qiping didn't make a fool of himself at all, "This is the essential difference between the endless sea and the checkpoint."

Wu Sheng asked: "What's in Feifei Island and Treasure Beach?"

Mao Qiping didn't answer again, but lowered his head and turned over the bag again, this time faster than last time, took out three pieces of paper in the blink of an eye, poked them on the telescopic rod, and handed them back to the four of them.

The four partners took off the papers and looked at them one by one, only to find that there were three lists of questions——

【Rule class】

1. Coordinate correlation. (50 RMB)

2. Related to injury and death. (100 yuan)

3. Stationery related. (100 yuan)

4. Related to roster and cheat sheet. (100 yuan)

6.…

5. The content of the fifth level and the strategy for clearing it. (1000 RMB)

6. Precautions and experience sharing for daily clearance. (current price)

Note: Because the content of the level will be adjusted and modified randomly, there is no guarantee that the strategy has universal applicability.

1. What is Endless Sea? (50 RMB)

2. What are the four lighthouses? (100 yuan)

3. What are the dangers in the four routes? (150 yuan)

4. The optimal strategy for the four routes. (200 yuan/piece, package price 700 yuan)

5.…

Sure enough, the price is clearly marked, and the child is not deceived =_=

However, compared to the densely packed other two sheets, there are only six items and one note in the level category, and the content only takes up half a page, leaving a large blank space, which seems uncoordinated.

"Why is there only half a sheet of paper for the level class?" Xu Wang lowered his head and asked Mao Qiping.

"I only handed in two tests in total," Mao Qiping said with a look of "life is not easy", "the information on the remaining three tests was bought and sold."

Xu Wang was puzzled: "Isn't the information after the fifth pass not available?"

Mao Qiping shook his head.

"It looks like you're not in big business," Xu Wang sighed, "Since you're in this business, you have to be willing to spend money."

Mao Qiping also sighed: "It's not about the money."

Xu Wang was stunned.

Mao Qi looked up at him: "Those who can break through to the fifth level are determined to die, no one is willing to sell the level information and strategy that they have spent day and night in exchange for a little money. Because he sold the information to me, I will definitely resell it to other passers-by, and everyone passed the pass smoothly and ran to the front to compete with him, so the next pass will be even more difficult?"

Xu Wang didn't expect this level, or what he experienced, hadn't given him such a real and suffocating sense of the "road ahead".

"If you pass the 23rd level, you can be free, so you don't have to come back here?" Xu Wang asked if there was no problem in the outline.

"I don't know, no, it should be said that no one knows." Mao Qiping smiled wryly, "I have been here for a year, and the team with the best performance I have ever seen on the leaderboard has only reached the thirteenth level."

"Only thirteen levels?" Xu Wang's heart sank.

"Yes, when the list opens, you will see it too." Mao Qiping said.

The fog became thicker and thicker, so thick that Mao Qiping's face could not be seen clearly from the boat.

Mao Qiping hastened to use the telescopic pole to pull it, as if it could disperse the fog a little: "In fact, uncertainty is not necessarily a bad thing. Uncertainty means possibility, and this is also the most important belief of those warriors who insist on going on."

Xu Wang raised his eyebrows: "Don't think that you can fool us into paying by secretly wearing a 'warrior' hat on us."

"I just said so much information about the endless sea, how sincere it is," Mao Qiping raised his voice, so as not to be blocked by the thick fog and not reach the ears of customers, "If it tastes good, buy some—"

"..." Xu Wang felt a little heaviness just now, but was dispelled by this voice again.

Exchange information, listen to the high-end foreign style and high-grade things, even if it is not a typhoon in Infernal Affairs, at least make up a mysterious code suspense style, what the hell is this melon, pear and peach trading style! ! !
