Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 62 Chapter 062

"Pony! Come and wipe the deck!"

"Pony! Help tie the cable!"

"Pony, move these buckets into the hold..."

As a newcomer to the gang, Shen Lang with the bandit name "Little Horse", his career as a pirate really started as a cow and a horse.

A group of old pirates sent him and a dozen other newcomers around, leaving all trivial and dirty work to Shen Lang and other newcomers.

Of course, this is the rule of the sea.

It is one of the methods used by the old pirates to disarm the newcomers and polish and train the newcomers. Old Xu had already confessed to Shen Lang in the carriage.

In addition, he was here to do an undercover mission, so he couldn't let himself go, so he pretended to be diligent and willing to work, and accepted the old pirates' branch without complaint.

After working like this until the afternoon, it was considered to be quiet, and I had a chance to rest, eat and drink.

Shen Lang sat on a wooden barrel, biting into a pancake stuffed with seafood in one hand, and holding a bamboo tube filled with clear water in the other, taking a big gulp from time to time.

While he was working hard to cook, the big tiger came over with a skinny pirate holding a flintlock rifle.

"Boy, you've worked hard for a long time. I think highly of you. Now try your marksmanship. If you really shoot wherever you point, you'll be a sharpshooter with a hundred shots, and you won't need to do chores in the future."

Shen Lang hastily stuffed half a piece of pancake in his hand into his mouth in one breath, poured a large mouthful of water into his stomach, stood up and took the long musket, stood up and tested the feel, and said to the big tiger head:

"Boss Tiger, this gun is quite handy. It's just the first time I've used this gun. I haven't tried it. I'm afraid the first shot won't be very accurate."

"It's okay, you have three shots."

As the big tiger said, he raised his hand and pointed to the top of the foremast:
"There's a brass on it, and you're right here, and I'll knock it off in three shots."

Shen Lang's position at this time was not too far from the foremast, even if the height of the mast was counted, it was still within twenty steps.

At such a short distance, if you hit someone, it would be very difficult for any experienced musketeer to miss.

But a small copper coin, with poor eyesight, it is not easy to see the target clearly, so how can it be shot?
However, Shen Lang nodded confidently:

"Look, Boss Tiger, within three shots, you can definitely hit it!"

The "Agility Enhancement" that Xiao Zhao gave him back was a comprehensive enhancement.

In addition to the dramatic improvement in nerve response, body coordination, and explosive power, his senses have also become extremely sharp.The sense of distance and space, which are extremely important for long-range shooting and even melee combat, has also been greatly enhanced.

Therefore, the distance is less than twenty steps, not to mention a copper coin, even a fly, Shen Lang can see it clearly under his concentration.

Maybe he still can't hit a moving target like a fly in flight.

But hitting a dead target embedded in the top of the mast is definitely more than enough.

At that moment, Shen Lang checked the loading status of the musket slightly, then tilted the musket up, focused his attention, stared at the copper for a little aim, and suddenly pulled the trigger.

boom!
As soon as the gunshot rang out, a cloud of sawdust exploded from the top of the mast.

Shen Lang shook his head:
"Sure enough, it didn't hit, it missed a little bit."

The big tiger head nodded approvingly:
"It's already pretty good. With a musket for the first time and no trial shooting, the first shot almost hit a target as small as a copper coin. If it was a walnut, the shot would have missed the target."

Shen Lang smiled shyly:
"But it's still a little short. But I'm sure to hit the second shot."

As he spoke, he began to reload skillfully, and soon finished reloading the ammunition, and raised the gun again.

This time he almost didn't aim, and as soon as the muzzle of the gun was raised, he quickly pulled the trigger.

The shot really hit, and the copper embedded on the top of the mast flew up with a small ball of sawdust, drawing an arc and falling into the sea.

Big Tiger nodded again and again:
"Raise the gun and shoot, hit wherever you point, you really are a sharpshooter!"

It's not a big deal just to play accurately.

The key is that the kid "Little Horse" can shoot without aiming.This is very important in actual combat.

In many cases, even if it is only a quick shot, the life of a brother who was fighting in front may be saved.

Duhu raised his huge palm and patted Shen Lang's shoulder vigorously:

"Good boy, from today onwards, you don't have to do chores any more. The treatment of eating is raised, just like the old guys. However, the share of business must be paid according to the rules. Of course, there is a reward for killing the enemy. When doing business , the more enemies you kill, the more rewards you will get. If you want to earn more money, then it depends on how hard you work!"

Shen Lang nodded repeatedly:

"Thank you Boss Hu for your appreciation! I will definitely work hard to kill the enemy and earn more rewards!"

Shen Lang's salary has been improved, and he no longer needs to do chores. The old pirates are also quite friendly to him. Obviously, they know that such a sharpshooter who can raise a gun quickly and can hit a hundred shots can save their lives in battle.

The newcomers liked this very much, and they were a little jealous of him.

However, Shen Lang was introduced by the old pirate "Old Hook" who was familiar with Big Hutou, and he was appreciated by the second number on the ship, Big Hutou. Even if the newcomers were jealous, they didn't dare to do anything to him.

The most is to exclude him secretly and not accept him into the circle of newcomers.

But Shen Lang didn't come here to be a thief, and he didn't care about the so-called "secret exclusion" of the newcomers at all. He only mingled with the old pirates, pretending to be young and curious, and inquired about some sea news intentionally or unintentionally.

The old pirates actually don't have much sense of secrecy.

When you go ashore for recreation, if you are not drunk, you can still keep your mouth shut.

But people have nothing to do on the boat, even if they don't drink, they all like to brag and talk nonsense.

When Shen Lang catches an old pirate at random, and deliberately flatters and flatters him, he can open up the old pirate's chatterbox and come up with more or less news.

For example, he found out that the boss of this ship, "Treasurer Luo", has mastered a strange skill.

It was by virtue of this strange skill that the shopkeeper Luo was able to win the support of all his brothers, and only then could he receive the "Hero Post" of this "Hero Conference".

As for what is Shopkeeper Luo's "unusual art", the old pirates kept it secret, and did not tell him clearly, they only said that it was a strange art that was very useful in the sea, and when the time came, he would see for himself arrive.

In addition, the old pirates also said that almost all the shopkeepers who received the "hero stickers" this time have one or two unique skills, otherwise they would not be eligible to participate in this grand event.

As for the strange skills of other shopkeepers, the old pirates don't keep a close eye on it.

As long as they know something, they just ask with their mouths open.

"Shopkeeper He of the Shark Spirit claims to have merman blood, can breathe underwater, see things at night, and swims faster than dolphins. So shopkeeper He leads a team to do business, and likes to go out in person, swimming and diving on the target ship at night, Turning off the lights and killing people..."

"Business Manager Hu of the Black Water has a rope trick. He can manipulate the cables on the ship from a distance, like his arms and fingers. Therefore, he likes to rely on the speed of the ship to catch up with the target and jump to help..."

"There is also the shopkeeper Cao of the White Crane, who can make the hull of the entire ship as hard as iron, making it invincible in artillery battles..."

Time passed while Shen Lang was listening to the old pirates bragging.

In the evening, a fast boat suddenly appeared behind.
