Lord of Rot

Chapter 187
Shuijian River Bend, branching tributaries.

There are so many boats passing by on this tributary, not only people from Shuijian will rely on this river, but many businessmen going north will also choose to take the waterway, which costs more money but saves effort.

There are the most bandits in the mountains, not to mention that the "Black King" has made a lot of noise recently, and I always feel a little guilty when walking by land.

Boom!

A boat that was moving forward suddenly shook violently.

The people on board suddenly became tense.

"Water monster!" Someone started to yell.

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

"what should we do?"

It's already messed up.

Recently, it has been rumored that there are strange water monsters in the water stream, and the boat will always be hit for no reason. Everyone will be more careful when walking this river.

The boat where the porcupine leader's team was on also became lively.

The people on the boat rushed to the stern, looking at the panicked ferry not far away.

Soldiers clutched their weapons, nervous.

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

"Not good!" In the cabin, Li Qi, who was researching with a strange object, suddenly came back to his senses.

He quickly put down the [Crystal Crystal] in his hand, and said in his heart: "The research is too obsessed, and there are too many distractions."

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

As for the ghoul monitor lizard, he just distracted it and let it obediently follow behind the ferry, occasionally checking to see if the ghoul fell behind.

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

But just now Li Qi was too serious about studying the [Crystal Crystal], which caused him to subconsciously let go of his control over the ghoul monitor, which caused it to crash into the boat floating overhead... More precisely, the ghoul monitor The lizard didn't have the concept of avoiding other things, it just followed Li Qi's order obediently, but was hit by the ferry chasing up from behind.

No calamity.

Li Qi concentrated on controlling the ghoul monitor lizard to swim forward. The water level is relatively shallow at the branch of the tributary. If there is no [Invisible Pot], people in the water will look down and see a boat that is longer than the boat. Dreadbehemoths lurk beneath the water, writhing and swimming by.

Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief when the ghoul monitor lizard swam to the front of the boat he was in, and then came out pretending to have just heard the commotion outside.

"what happened?"

"My lord, it's a water monster, the water monster is here again!"

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

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

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

"It's okay," Li Qi said, "We're almost there, you can also go ashore to rest, and then go into the water when there are no more legends about water monsters."

The sailor sighed: "That's the only way."

He thought he was lucky, so many ships were attacked by water monsters, but only his own ship was safe, and the problem only happened around his own ship.

On the ship behind, the sailors who were good at swimming were all grimacing at this moment.

"The goods fell into the water, go down and fish them!"

"But, but... there are water monsters 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 to fish it!"

After some quarreling, the sailors jumped into the water one after another. Fortunately, the process was safe and there was no water monster eating people.

Li Qixin said: "If they see the ghoul giant lizard with their own eyes, they will probably be scared to death. Maybe even the shipping business of Shuijian will be impacted unprecedentedly. I use the [Invisible Pot] to erase their fear. It was too kind of me to avoid all of this."

Not forgetting to praise himself, Li Qi went back to continue studying the strange things.

The strange object [Crystal of Casting Spells] made him see a little strange possibility. There are two development directions. Of course, these two development directions are still very vague for the time being. The most important thing is that he has no technical means, and the environment is not convenient for him to casually test.

The crystal has a characteristic that it can release all the stored magic in an instant. Due to environmental problems, the attack type cannot be tested, but it is probably similar to his guess.

But the crystal has another disadvantage. After storing magic, it will wear away with time, and it will be stored for a year or a half for a long time. It is obviously impossible for people to keep it for use.

It also eliminates the possibility of storing tens of thousands of magic spells and then releasing them in one go, annihilating thousands of troops.

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

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

If you really want to pursue lethality, what can compare to thermal weapons?

Even an extraordinary person, in the face of bombing, has only one dead end.

Strange objects should be used as technical power to accomplish some things that Li Qi can't do at present, mainly because he already has some conjectures, so he doesn't plan to only use this thing to fight.

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

The wind around the body is really interesting, deflecting arrows and slashing are very interesting. If this kind of helmet can be promoted in batches, it can be regarded as a godsend on the battlefield, as long as it is not The disparity in troop strength is too outrageous, and it is no problem to fight against the opponent by two or three times.

But the problem is that it is impossible for strange objects to appear in batches.

The shape of the helmet is also a bit old, and it doesn't match the style of Dongxia. I don't know where Shanzhangbao got this thing.

Li Qi raised his hand and lightly brushed the feathers on the helmet, like the feathers of an eagle. For the time being, he could only put it aside. He hasn't figured out the use of this thing, but it is definitely impossible to wear it on the battlefield by himself.

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

At this time, it is considered to have entered the territory of the monkey family, which is an open small pier.

"I kind of understand why the monkey family must take down Longship Fort."

Everyone guards this waterway to make money, and the monkey family knows how big the benefits are. The harder they bite off the meat from the Longship Fort, the more they can eat.

It took 3 days to travel by boat this time. A group of more than a dozen people plus a carriage, etc. cost 1 silver month per person and 2 silver months for the carriage.

"It's just the shipping business, and the annual income is not much less than that of the porcupine collar."

The entire river is densely packed with ferries, and one can imagine how terrifying the income is.

Li Qi went ashore after sighing again about his hell difficulty start.

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

One to Burning City.

The last one goes to the hinterland of the monkey collar.

As the transcendent emerged, Li Qi was also very careful not to let the 'hawk-eyed' birds fly indiscriminately, so as not to attract the attention of some sensitive spellcasters or transcendent.

Whoa!

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

Climb ashore with heavy steps.

On the shore of the pier, a little boy was being held by his mother. He turned his head suspiciously and saw a monster bigger than his own house passing by. Unable to focus on the other party, as if it was just an inconspicuous wind.

Such a terrifying behemoth walked on the crowded pier, but a strange scene appeared. People turned a blind eye to it, but subconsciously moved out of the way to make way for it to move forward.
