Lord of Rot

Chapter 187 Turn a blind eye

Shuijian River Bay, branching tributaries.

There are many boats passing by on this tributary. Not only the people in Shuijian will rely on this river, but many merchants going north will also choose to take the water route, which will cost more money but save effort.

There are the most bandits in the mountains, not to mention the recent ferocious troubles caused by the "Black King", so I always feel a little weak when traveling by land.

Boom!

A boat moving forward normally suddenly shook violently.

The people on the boat suddenly became nervous.

"Water monster!" someone started shouting.

"It's a water monster!" One person led a group of people.

"what should we do?"

Already messed up.

Recently, there have been rumors that there are strange water monsters in the water stream, and boats are always hit for no apparent reason. Everyone will be more careful when walking on this river.

The ship where the porcupine leader team was located also became lively.

People on the boat rushed to the stern and looked at the panicked ferry not far away.

The soldiers clutched their weapons, nervous.

On the ground they still had the ability to resist, but now standing on the water, their strength was greatly reduced.

"Not good!" In the cabin, Li Qi, who was studying the rare objects, suddenly came back to his senses.

He quickly put down the [Spellcasting Crystal] in his hand and thought to himself: "I am too obsessed with research and too distracted."

The so-called water monster is the ghoul monitor lizard. Since Li Qi had nothing to do on the boat, he began to study the two strange objects in his hands.

As for the ghoul monitor lizard, he only distractedly led it and let it follow the ferry obediently, occasionally checking to see if the ghoul was not lagging behind.

The ghoul has wisdom and can understand this simple request, but it cannot do more detailed requests.

But just now Li Qi studied the [Spellcasting Crystal] too seriously, causing him to subconsciously let go of his control over the giant ghoul lizard, which also caused it to hit the ship floating overhead... To be more precise, the giant ghoul lizard The lizard had no concept of avoiding other things. It just followed Li Qi's order obediently, but was hit by a ferry catching up from behind.

No calamity.

Li Qi concentrated on controlling the ghoul monitor lizard to swim forward. At the fork of the tributary, the water level was shallow. If there was no [Invisible Pot], people in the water would see a vessel longer than the boat if they lowered their heads and looked down. The fearful giant lurked beneath the water, its writhing body swimming by.

Li Qi waited until the ghoul giant lizard swam in front of his boat, and then pretended to have just heard the commotion outside and walked out.

"what happened?"

"Sir, it's a water monster. The water monster is here again!"

"I suspect a water monster is chasing our boat."

Seeing the nervous expressions of the sailors, Li Qi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Because he also needs to sleep, the ghoul monitor lizard will not take the initiative to avoid it without his guidance. Therefore, when the legend of the water monster is at its most ferocious at night, the sailors who make a living on the water firmly believe in the statement of the water monster.

"It doesn't matter," Li Qi said, "We are almost there, you can also go ashore to rest, and wait until there are no more legends about water monsters before going into the water."

The sailor sighed: "That's all we have to do."

He thought to himself that he was quite lucky. So many ships had been attacked by water monsters, but only his own ship had always been safe, and the problems only occurred around his ship.

On the ship behind, the sailors who were good at swimming all had bitter expressions on their faces.

"The goods have fallen into the water, go down and fish them out quickly!"

"But, but... there is a water monster inside."

"If this batch of goods is lost, our lives will be lost? Even if there is a giant dragon, we have to jump down and get it!"

After a quarrel, the sailors jumped into the water one after another. Fortunately, the process was safe and there was no case of the water monster eating people.

Li Qi thought: "If they see the ghoul monitor lizard with their own eyes, they will probably be scared to death. Maybe even the shipping industry in Shuijian will be hit like never before. I used the [Invisible Pot] to erase their fear. I was too kind to avoid all of this.”

Not forgetting to praise himself, Li Qi went back to continue studying rare objects.

The strange object [Spellcasting Crystal] allowed him to see some strange possibilities. There are two development directions. Of course, these two development directions are still vague for the time being. The most important thing is that he does not have the technical means and the environment is not convenient for him to do whatever he wants. test.

Crystal has a characteristic that it can release all the stored magic in an instant. Due to environmental problems, the attack type was not tested, but it was probably similar to what he guessed.

But the crystal has another disadvantage. After storing magic, it will disappear over time. It can be stored for a long time for a year and a half, so it is obviously impossible for people to keep it and use it.

This also eliminates the possibility of storing tens of thousands of magic and then releasing it in one go to annihilate thousands of troops.

Another feature is that the stored magic does not disappear, but is recorded in the magic circle. It can be released by inputting spiritual power before it is deliberately erased.

"I don't have the skills to cast spells at the same time. I can do it with the [Spellcasting Crystal], but it would be too wasteful if this rare item is only used for fighting."

If we really want to pursue lethality, what can be better than thermal weapons?

Even an extraordinary person would only die in the face of bombing.

Rare objects should be used as technical skills to accomplish things that Li Qi cannot currently do. The main reason is that he already has some conjectures, so he does not plan to fight with just this thing.

There is also a strange object he named [Wind Cavalry Helmet], but no specific characteristics have been studied.

The wind surrounding the body is indeed interesting. Deflecting arrows and slashing are very interesting. If this kind of helmet can be promoted in batches, it can be regarded as a divine weapon on the battlefield. The disparity in strength is too outrageous, and there is no problem if the difference is two or three times and they can overpower the opponent.

But the problem is that strange objects cannot appear in batches.

The shape of the helmet is also a bit old and does not match the style of Dongxia. I don’t know where Shanzhang Fort got this thing.

Li Qi raised his hand and gently brushed the feathers on his helmet, which looked like eagle feathers. He could only put them aside for the time being. He hadn't figured out the use of this thing yet, but it was definitely impossible for him to wear it on the battlefield.

After a long boring water journey, they arrived at their destination.

At this time, we have entered the territory of the monkey family. This is a small open pier.

"I kind of understand why the Monkey Family must take Longship Castle."

Everyone is guarding this waterway to make money. The monkey family knows how great the benefits are. The harder they bite, the more meat they can eat from the Longship Castle, and the fuller they will be.

This trip by boat took three days. There were more than a dozen people in the group plus a carriage. The cost was 3 silver month per person and 1 silver months for the carriage.

"Just from the shipping business, the annual income is not much less than that of the Porcupine Collar."

The entire river is densely packed with ferries, so you can imagine how terrible the income is.

After lamenting once again about his hellish difficulty start, Li Qi came ashore.

Next, there are three roads, one heading east to Iron Valley.

One way to Burning City.

The last one goes to the hinterland of the Monkey Territory.

As extraordinary beings emerged, Li Qi was very cautious and did not release the 'Eagle Eye' birds wantonly, so as not to attract the attention of some sensitive spellcasters or extraordinary beings.

Wow!

The water surface broke open, and the huge body of the corpse monitor emerged from the water.

Climbing ashore with heavy steps.

On the shore of the pier, a little boy was held by his mother's hand. He turned his head in confusion and watched a monster bigger than his own house walking past. Its scales were as big as his palm with fully open fingers, but the boy's sight was completely Unable to focus on the other party, it seemed like it was just a gust of inconspicuous wind.

There was a strange scene when such a terrifying beast was walking on the crowded pier. People turned a blind eye to it, but subconsciously moved aside to make a way for it to move forward.
