Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 90 089, Xiaoyu's strength! [25, first order! 】

"..."

Shen Lang was speechless, looking at Xiao Wu, who was walking towards him with a smile, holding a cable.

"Grandpa, don't be overthinking it! How dangerous it is to jump into the sea at night!"

Xiao Wu is not very old, he looks to be in his early twenties, but he is also an old pirate who has been with Chen Yuniang and her father for many years.

Looking at it now, Xiao Wu really deserves to be the backbone old thief on the Flying Fish, besides playing the suona, he is also good at rope skills.

Aside from being able to fly the rope to pull Shen Lang back from a long distance, the rope can actually be knotted in the air, and the knotted pattern made Shen Lang unable to do it for a while, and he didn't know how to untie it.

"It's not that I can't think about it, I just want to swim all of a sudden. Brother Wu, please untie the rope for me first..."

"Uncle, it's not suitable to swim in the sea at night, it's too dangerous. You, you'd better go back and accompany the shopkeeper."

"What's the danger? I'm not bragging. If I think I'm the second in swimming in the entire Flying Fish, no one will dare to be the number one."

Xiao Wu didn't laugh at him for bragging, just shook his head and said with a smile:

"No. I don't know how many old sea dogs who rely on their swimming skills are all taken away by the Dragon King when they go into the sea at night. No matter how good your swimming skills are, you can't go into the sea at night. If you want to swim, you have to wait until dawn. Today is I keep watch at night, if something happens to my aunt right under my nose, the shopkeeper might want to take my skin off."

Shen Lang talked all the time, but Xiao Wu just didn't let go, he had no choice but to agree to go back and accompany Chen Yuniang.

Xiao Wu just came over and helped him untie the rope on his body.

"Brother Wu, you are good at rope skills!"

"It's so-so, far inferior to Shopkeeper Hu of the Blackwater. His rope-handling skills are truly unique."

"The shopkeeper Hu of the Black Water is a gifted skill. Brother Wu, this is a real skill that you have practiced hard. It is different. Then what, brother Wu, can you teach me?"

"My uncle is also interested in rope skills?"

"Well, this is an art, worth learning and researching..."

Xiao Wu winked:

"Master, don't you want to learn to use it on the shopkeeper?"

Shen Lang looked serious:
"How is it possible? Brother Wu, don't talk nonsense, I'm a serious person..."

"Haha, it doesn't matter if it's applied to the shopkeeper. It's just that you should think about it, my lord. The shopkeeper's natural power can't be bound by ordinary ropes."

"I really didn't think about it that way..."

"Hehe, it doesn't matter. It's rare that my uncle is interested in my kind of sidewalk, so Xiao Wu can't help but know how to praise..."

At that moment, Xiao Wuzhen taught Shen Lang how to play the rope with all his heart.

In fact, Xiao Wu's technique of juggling rope is really not a simple side-track, but a combination of whipping, half martial arts and half juggling.

Any rope, in Xiao Wu's hands, can be turned into a murder weapon, and can also be used as various auxiliary tools.Bind people and take people, take things from a long distance, seize weapons, fly over eaves and walls, even shoot with ropes, and use ropes to wrap various weapons for long-range attacks...

Various usages made Xiao Wu play well.

Xiao Wu's craft obviously requires savvy and imagination.Hand-eye coordination, sense of space, and distance are also highly required.Coincidentally, Shen Lang happened to possess this series of qualities.

Coupled with the assistance of Xiao Yueyue from the "Demon Taming Technique", it only took him an hour to learn all the key points of Xiao Wu's rope art, what is lacking is only proficiency.

"The shopkeeper really has the eyes to recognize talents, my uncle is really a genius, and he has almost learned my cooking skills so quickly..."

Xiao Wu repeatedly sighed with emotion:

"I don't have anything to teach my son-in-law anymore. My son-in-law just needs to practice more in the future, and sooner or later his rope-handling skills will surpass mine."

Shen Lang happily said:

"I would also like to thank Brother Wu for his careful teaching."

Xiao Wu smiled chicly:
"Heretical, it's not worth mentioning. In fact, these days, for us low-level warriors, muskets are more practical. Although musket reloading is a bit troublesome, even for sixth-rank or even fifth-rank warriors, it is not difficult to eat a gun. I have to die. I heard that my uncle is a sharpshooter? This skill is much better than juggling rope."

When it was over, he looked at Shen Lang with a smiley face:

"Okay, my aunt, you should go back to accompany the shopkeeper. Tomorrow is the day of the 'Heroes Conference'. Every time the shopkeeper encounters an important event, he will always be excited for a long time. In the past, I asked my brothers to accompany her to drink a lot of wine and wrestle with her wrists, but now ..."

He winked and gave Shen Lang a "you understand" look.

Shen Lang shook his head helplessly, thanked Xiao Wu a few more words, and then returned to the captain's room.

After a while.

A little white cat sneaked out of the captain's cabin, holding an old writing brush that was half bald in its mouth.

It landed silently, walked lightly to avoid the sight of the pirates on duty, came to the side of the ship, and jumped towards the sea.

When it was about to touch the surface of the sea, the little white cat suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and only an old writing brush that was half bald fell to the surface of the sea and drifted with the waves.

Soon, the sea water below the brush was slightly choppy, and a figure appeared in the sea water out of nowhere.

It was Shen Lang.

"Sister Yu still needs to practice for an hour, so I have enough time to test my ability!"

Shen Lang dived underwater, raised his hand to grab a fine brush, and the semi-bald brush immediately turned into a dragon and snake brand, attached to the back of his left hand.

Withdrawing some fine brush, Shen Lang didn't come out of the water, and just felt it quietly in the water.

He couldn't breathe through his mouth and nose, but strands of cool breath penetrated into his skin and flesh from every pore in his body, and blended into his limbs. Not only did he not feel oppressed at all, but he felt an indescribably comfortable feeling, as if he was originally It is an aquatic species.

"The efficiency of the skin absorbing oxygen in water feels higher than normal breathing!"

Shen Lang secretly said in his heart, and felt it quietly for a while, then stroked his arms and kicked his legs, and started to swim in the water.

The resistance of the sea water was mostly removed by the "invisible mucous membrane" on the surface of his skin.

He can even clearly feel every vortex undercurrent around his body with his skin, and then almost instinctively, either avoid the interference of the vortex undercurrent, or use their power to save energy consumption and increase swimming speed.

Before crossing, Shen Lang's water skills can only be regarded as barely able to swim, and he will be exhausted after splashing a hundred meters in the water.

But at this moment, after a short period of jerky and clumsy, his swimming speed is getting faster and faster, and his swimming style is becoming more and more skillful and elegant, gradually looking like a real big fish, moving back and forth flexibly on the bottom of the sea.

Now if a dolphin comes to compete with him in swimming skills, he may not lose.

After diving and swimming for a while, Shen Lang gradually moved away from the pirate port lined with masts, and circled to the side of the pirate island, a dangerous shoal full of reefs.

"It's time to test Xiaoyu's ability!"

With a thought, Shen Lang summoned Xiaoyu.

The little fish fell into the sea with a puff, and felt no discomfort at all. It gently swayed its fiery red carp tail in the sea, and circled around Shen Lang non-stop.

"Shen Lang, I'm in the second realm!"

Xiaoyu uttered human words, and the crisp and immature childish voice was full of joy.

"Congratulations!"

Shen Lang smiled and congratulated, then praised:
"Little fish, you have become more beautiful."

"really?"

Xiaoyu's voice was shy, but of course it was more joyful.

Although it has a somewhat arrogant temper, and claims to be a straight minister who will never flatter the victim, Shen Lang praised it for being more beautiful, which still made it elated, and kept jumping out of the water, jumping over Shen Lang's head time and time again, to show him Its increasingly slender and gorgeous figure:
"Shen Lang Shen Lang, look at my tail, doesn't it look like a mermaid? I feel like I'm about to have a waistline..."

waistline?

Shen Lang couldn't help but laugh, how could a carp have a waistline?

This is an illusion, little fish!
Transforming into a dragon is your future, becoming a mermaid with a waistline is an evil way.

But seeing Xiaoyu's happy appearance, Shen Lang didn't have the nerve to hit it, and after it showed off happily for a while, he asked:

"Xiaoyu, how is your strength now?"

"awesome!"

The little fish was talking triumphantly, then suddenly swam to a rock and shouted:
"The dragon swings its tail!"

The little fish flicked its tail, and hit the rock with a bang, causing stone powder to fly on the rock, and a spider web crack the size of a palm appeared.

Shen Lang was startled for a moment, then he was overjoyed:

"Amazing, little fish! This move of yours, flicking your tail, is as powerful as waiting for a seventh-rank warrior!"

The seaside reefs have been subjected to wind and waves all year round, and have been hammered to be extremely hard.

Ordinary seventh-ranks of average level, like Zhao Mengshan, slapped on the reef with one palm, and the damage caused by it is estimated to be similar to that of a small fish.

"My trick is not tail flicking, it's called 'Dragon Wagging Tail'!"

"Okay, Shenlong wagging its tail... By the way, how is the power of your water arrow?"

"Hee hee, look at it!"

The little fish quickly swam 30 meters away, and suddenly opened its mouth to spit out, and a spray of water shot out, turning into hundreds of crystal water arrows, each of which was only about a foot long and as thick as a chopstick.

But such a seemingly weak water arrow landed on the reef 30 meters away, and actually punched out a dense number of small round holes in the hard reef, each of which was about an inch deep.

Being able to punch a small round hole about an inch deep on the reef is already more powerful than a flintlock rifle, and even stronger than Shen Lang's two custom-made heavy pistols.

This kind of power is enough to kill a fifth-rank warrior——

Rank [-] warriors dare not even line up a square formation of guns. Xiaoyu's volley of water arrows is not only more powerful than military muskets, but also shoots a hundred arrows at once, covering the area, which is equivalent to a volley of a musket formation of a hundred people.

Under the sudden attack, it is no problem to kill an unprotected and undodged fifth-rank warrior.

"The reality is that there is no professional balance! Xiaoyu is only at the second level, and the power of spells can threaten fifth-level warriors. If he is promoted to the first level, wouldn't he be able to threaten even fourth-level warriors?"

Of course, being able to "threat" does not mean being able to kill.

After all, Xiaoyu's continuous water arrow is still only a straight trajectory and cannot track the target.

And martial artists, especially those who have cultivated internal strength of rank six or above, all of them have quick reflexes and magic spirits, so it is impossible for them to be foolish targets.

The "external release of internal strength" of a fifth-rank warrior can also offset part of the attack to a certain extent.

However, Xiaoyu's move "Lianzhu Water Arrow" can at least achieve the effect of "First Sight Kill".

Caught off guard, there is a chance to lose a fifth rank with one move.

"Speaking of which, although the goblins of the Jingbi system are also at the nine realms, they don't seem to be equivalent to the ninth-rank and ninth-order systems in this world? The nine realms of the little goblins, every time they are promoted, The strength will be greatly improved...

"So shouldn't the fourth or fifth realm be able to compete with the first rank of the Eastern Earth and the ninth rank of the Western World in this world, right? In the subsequent realms, you can directly compete with the Immortals of the Eastern Land and the Western Gods?"

While he was thinking about it, the little fish swam up to him again, happily jumped over his head, and jumped over:
"Shen Lang Shen Lang, how about my Lianju Water Arrow? Isn't it very powerful?"

Shen Lang raised his thumb and praised sincerely:

"Very powerful. By the way, Xiaoyu, how many times can you shoot water arrows in one go?"

Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then weakly said:
"Uh... After launching once, it takes a while to accumulate spiritual power again..."

Shen Lang felt a little bad:

"How long do I have to save?"

Xiaoyu faltered and said:
"Well, well, that... an hour..."

"..."

An hour long cooldown?

Shen Lang was slightly disappointed.

But think about it, after all, this is a "big move" that can threaten fifth-rank warriors, and it is normal for the cooling time to be longer.

Besides, Shen Lang still has some thoughts about this move:
"Little fish, can you shoot one water arrow at a time? Don't shoot a hundred arrows at once, just shoot one arrow at a time."

One arrow at a time, each arrow is more powerful than a flintlock musket, and when fired at that point, before the hundred water arrows are exhausted, isn't it equivalent to an automatic rifle?
Xiaoyu really didn't expect this, when Shen Lang reminded him, it was slightly stunned again:
"Hey, if you use Lianzhu water arrows like this, it seems to be more efficient than sending them all at once!"

Shen Lang smiled and nodded:

"If you allocate your spiritual power well, you won't even have a window of firepower, and you can shoot a single water arrow at any time!"

"I see!"

The little fish happily swam around beside Shen Lang:

"If the power of a single burst is not enough, you can also shoot three bursts or five bursts... In short, if it is not necessary, you don't need to shoot a hundred arrows in one breath, so that the fish's continuous water arrows can play a greater role!"
