Lord of Rot

Chapter 258 The Bewitched Crown

After Li Qi's team walked forward for a certain distance, they suddenly saw a dead body that had been split in half on the ground.

At the part that was cut off by the gate, the bones and flesh were deformed, and the stomach and intestines were even pulled out. It can be seen that he was not dead when he was divided into two halves, and he struggled for a while.

"It should have been done by the giant crab just now."

They just glanced at the corpse on the ground and continued to move forward. The main team of the monkey family hadn't met yet, so I wondered if they had already obtained the treasure.

Going forward for a distance, the front is short.

Li Qi beckoned and asked the soldiers to squat down and get in with their muskets on their shoulders.

"As long as there is any movement, shoot immediately, and then retreat." Li Qi ordered: "The second team will follow, and they will take turns like this."

Because it was quiet enough, Li Qi's order could be heard by everyone present.

After getting in and walking for a while, I saw a burrow going down, which should be thought to be excavated, and I could see the stone steps polished by the years, with green moss growing on them.

"Hiss, what is this!" A porcupine soldier was taken aback.

A huge moth was lying on the ground.

It has four spears stuck in its body.

The moth's wings spread out to the size of two sheets.

The darkness didn't affect Li Qi's vision. He could clearly see a dead body under the moth. Judging from the clothes, it should be a pirate. His head was shriveled and deformed by the moth's mouthparts.

"Everything on this island has been magnified?" Li Qi mistakenly thought that he had entered the kingdom of giants: "Or after the return of the magic tide, many things have become magical again?"

Giant crabs, giant moths, I wonder if there are other big things.

After all, Li Qi had never seen the heyday of magic, just like he couldn't imagine what it would be like for a dragon to exterminate thousands of bipedal dragon knights in an instant.

So it's not clear whether these have something to do with the surge of magical tides.

"The more this is the case, the less it is possible for people from the monkey family to get the contents inside."

The team was slowly moving forward when they suddenly heard footsteps.

Because Li Qi's staff didn't light torches, when a few figures holding torches suddenly appeared in the darkness, they looked like scantily dressed female service staff on the side of the road in Iron Stone City, and they couldn't pretend to be invisible.

Without Li Qi's order, the soldiers walking in the first row quickly raised their guns.

Bang bang bang!
This is a straight long corridor, there is no need to aim at all, as long as you shoot forward, unless the opponent can fly into the sky, or is made of steel and iron, otherwise the terrifying shooting cannot be ignored.

The first row of soldiers at the front quickly retreated after firing, and the second row fired.

But they didn't need to shoot any more. It was just the first volley, and the figure holding the torch fell to the ground.

There were dense footsteps coming from behind, which sounded very heavy, and he should be wearing heavy armor.

"Who?!"

A group of people who rushed over roared and questioned.

Li Qi just said indifferently: "Shoot!"

The gunfire was detonated again, and the pungent smell of gunpowder permeated the passage.

At the beginning, the porcupine soldiers were able to aim and shoot according to the general position of the fire. When the smoke became thicker and thicker, and the air outlet was behind them, the thick smoke covered the faces of Li Qi and others, and their eyes were smoked If they couldn't open it, they simply stopped aiming and just shot forward.

Only screams of "ah" and "ah" can be heard in the distance.

There is also the sound of dangdang, bullets hitting the shield.

Except for the various special teams, few people choose to use pure steel shields, which are too heavy and inconvenient to fight. With an iron shield weighing more than ten kilograms in their hands, they can drag themselves to death without fighting.

The hardwood shield with special anti-corrosion and anti-crack treatment, wrapped in leather is the most classic configuration.

There are also iron-clad shields, such as the porcupine collar.

The person on the opposite side obviously also had these two types of shields. Hardwood shields have strong defense capabilities when facing arrows and javelins, but their defense capabilities are a bit pitiful when facing muskets.

The screams became less and less.

The porcupine soldiers were very calm, because they shot after roughly determining the enemy's location.

Reload and fire with low light and habit.

Just keep shooting like this, without touching the enemy at all.

When even the screams on the other side disappeared, they stopped.

Li Qi glanced around and made sure no one was standing, so he waved his hand and let the two ghouls come forward to make up the knife.

After confirming that all the enemies were dead, Li Qicai said, "Light the torch!"

A torch was lit.

In the spacious underground passage that lit up instantly, the first thing everyone saw was a pile of corpses and blood that had gathered into puddles.

Dozens of dead bodies lay on the ground.

Part pirate, part monkey family soldier.

Corpses were piled up in small bunkers, blocking the way.

Before guns, everyone is equal.

internal.

Dryden heard that the outside finally became quiet again, but his heart ached.

Who is the person coming, and what is going on with those terrifying sounds?

And the screams of his own men.

The fear of the unknown made him feel suffocated.

Currently, there are only two Transcendents and Jenny left by my side.

"What's going on?" Dryden looked at the four-handed mercenary, who rushed out with the team just now, but ran back quickly, with a strong and pungent bloody smell.

The mercenary grinned in pain: "They used very weird weapons, the sound was very loud, the speed was very fast, and there was almost no interval. People fell like a sickle cutting wheat. If I hadn't escaped quickly, I would have died too. gone."

He squeezed hard on the hollow of his shoulder with his fingers, and he took out a iron ball with cooked meat with his two fingers.

His body strength was extremely high, the bullets did not enter his body, and he was hit by several bullets in a row, but he was only slightly injured.

One even hit his forehead, but was blocked by the hard skull. The blood that seemed to flow all over his face was horrible, but in fact it was not life-threatening.

"Is it from Monkey Island?"

Dryden was puzzled.

There were footsteps in the distance.

A group of people rushed in and squatted on the ground for the first time.

They set up the black iron pipes in their hands to face Dryden and the others.

The black-haired young man who walked in at the end should be the leader of this group.

"Elite soldiers!" Dryden was taken aback when he saw the excellent armor on the porcupine soldiers.

I don't know where such an elite team came from.

The black iron pipes in their hands should be the strange weapons that harvested the lives of their own men.

Dryden took a step forward and said, "Good night, I'm Dryden Bill of the monkey-leading Bill family. I think we can talk. There are pirate treasures here, all of which are entrusted to you. We are also willing to be prisoners. , please give us a chance to pay the ransom."

At the same time, Dryden gave the two Transcendents winks, hoping that the two of them could rush up at the critical moment, and as long as they could tie up the leader, they could leave.

But this black light is blind, and his eyebrows and eyes are probably thrown to the blind.

I don't need treasures at all, I just need this crown!
And he believed that the other party would definitely save his life, and the nobles used it to pay back the money.

"Give me all the treasures?" Li Qi chuckled: "Give me the one in your hand first."

"Of course, this is yours too." Dryden didn't want to let go, but he had to gain the other party's trust first.

He brought the three of them closer to Li Qi, and put the crown on the ground after a certain distance.

"Very good." Li Qi nodded in satisfaction: "Welcome, gentlemen captives..."

Swipe!

The two extraordinary people acted at the same time, but one rushed towards Li Qi, while the other lay on the ground with its head in its four hands.

The moment they moved, the porcupine soldiers fired.

The flames flickered, and the dense bullets enveloped the four of them.

At this moment, Dryden Bill understood what he had experienced. There was not much pain. When the first bullet penetrated his body, he didn't feel any pain.

It's just that there are countless regrets in my heart.

"La was born earlier than me, so why should he be the heir?"

"Just one step away. I should wear the crown."

"What exactly is this weapon?"

Darkness swallowed Dryden.

The bodies of Dryden and the woman beside him collapsed.

And the figure that rushed over at the very beginning, dodged most of the bullets, and successfully reached the muzzle of the musket.

He knocked over two porcupine soldiers, but the other soldiers reacted quickly, dropped their muskets, and ran into them with arms folded.

It was the first time that Li Qi, the "Speed ​​Transcendent", had seen such a sensitive Transcendent.

Even though he had been psychologically prepared for a long time, the power of muskets would at most allow ordinary people not to withdraw from the battlefield, rather than to dominate the battlefield, but he was still surprised to see a person tossing and turning in the hail of bullets.

The porcupine soldiers bumped into each other, only to see the man turn over nimbly, press the soldier's shoulder with one hand, use his strength to turn around in the air for several weeks, and quickly adjust his posture at high altitude.

With a touch of both hands on the ankles, two black blades were pulled out.

poisonous!

Li Qi took a step forward.

Unleash the magic and awe!
The Transcendent who was flying towards Li Qi from a high altitude at a tricky angle suddenly froze.

The body lost its balance and hit the ground.

Shock!Shock!Shock!

When Li Qi drew his sword and rushed over, he didn't dare to relax at all, and kept releasing shock and intimidation at the opponent, forcing him to the end.

Then one goes through its heart.

"call!"

comfortable.

Only the dead are safest.

He stepped on the corpse, drew out his sword, and looked at the Transcendent lying on the ground with his arms around his head.

The opponent suffered a lot from the hail of bullets just now, but with his strong body, he managed to hold on.

The two ghouls walked in front of Li Qi without a word.

Li Qi raised his hand and signaled to stop firing. For superhumans, shooting them for a minute may not be able to kill them. Let's save some bullets.

"and many more!"

Sensing Li Qi approaching, the four-armed mercenary lying on the ground hastily shouted loudly: "Wait a minute, my lord, I'm just a mercenary! I'm willing to work for you! Don't kill me!"

The other party really didn't intend to fight against him. Just now, when the speed-type transcendent rushed over, the mercenary immediately lay on the ground with his head in his arms.

However, mercenaries also mean unreliability, betrayal, thieves, playing with the wind, and no bottom line.

In short, all bad words can be used on mercenaries.

"What's it called?" Li Qi asked.

"Trevor"

"Very well, Trevor, you saved your own life by making a smart choice." Li Qi said, "Now you can stand up."

"Yes!"

Trevor stood up obediently. He was about the same height as Li Qi, but his muscles were very developed.

One side of his body was full of bullet holes, and the iron pellet was stuck in the muscle.

"I hope you can keep this smart." Li Qi asked two ghouls to guard the four-handed Trevor, and then walked towards Dryden Bill.

The person has been beaten into briquettes, and the brains and blood are splashed all over the ground, and the original appearance cannot be seen.

Li Qi bent down and picked up the crown on the ground.

A voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of his heart.

"Wear it, and maybe you can become a king."

"Wear it, and you can have the strongest army in the world."

"Wear it, and you will get endless wealth."

"Wear it and the world will tremble beneath your feet."

Li Qi, who originally wanted to use his spiritual strength to try it out, immediately gave up this plan.

"It can still confuse people's hearts!"

I secretly said in my heart that it was dangerous.

If this crown tells him how to return to the earth, maybe Li Qi will wear it. Although the life in Lurea continent is good, it is a bit boring. There are too few entertainments and serious internal friction. It is better to go back to the earth and fight every day. Play games, be a leisurely social waste.

But it's fine to use this thing to dominate the world.

Because it is too unreliable, wearing a crown can rule the world, and when the crown is stolen, the world will disappear.

He dare not hand over the crown to others, who knows what will happen when wearing this crown.

Li Qi approached again and looked at the woman's body. The woman was hit in the heart with a key shot, and the body was still intact.

"Isn't she the female mercenary who applied for sailors in Shuijian?"

He suddenly remembered that last year, when he went to the town of Shuijian to recruit sailors, the female mercenary claimed that her husband was the captain and that she also had a treasure, hoping that he could help her find the treasure.

Unexpectedly, when she rejected her at that time, she actually approached the Bill family.

Li Qi didn't know how dirty it was, whether Dryden Bill acted on his own, or the old monkey was also involved, but there was no need to understand their motives.

"What's her name? Anna? Jenny? Connie? Well I forgot."

Li Qi lamented that he was lucky, and after going around in the end, the treasure was still in his hands.

In addition to the crown, there are also some treasures.

That may be the captain's treasure that the female mercenary said, and it's not bad for a few tens of gold days.

Li Qi ordered the soldiers to bring money to the ship. He would never dislike having too much money. The only pity was that there was not even a single golden day here.

"Trevor!" Li Qi looked at the four-armed mercenary, who was holding a knife and picking out musket bullets like squeezing blackheads.

While lamenting the other party's strong body, Li Qi was also curious whether his own body could also be so hard, and he was also a flesh-and-blood superhuman.

"Yes, my lord!" Trevor stood up.

Li Qi pointed to the top of his head: "Take off those cocoons."

He just noticed that there are hundreds of huge cocoons above his head.

Silkworm cocoons are a good thing, they are used to make silk clothes.

It seems that the Lurea continent does not have the concept of silk.

"Before I thought about growing cotton for weaving, how about using these cocoons for weaving?"

In terms of climate, porcupine collars are not suitable for raising silkworms, but moths the size of calves have never appeared on the earth, so they can be raised by groping.

"Go back and try weaving first."

The four-armed mercenary moved very fast. He climbed up and cut off the cocoons with a knife, and then the soldiers carried them out in groups of two.

In addition, Li Qi also picked up all the glowing conch in the cave.

Small lamps of this biological type can be handed over to the sailors from the water stream to raise them. It is best to study whether they can be eaten.

After all, conch shells are not small, each as big as two fists.

It doesn't matter if you can't eat it, as long as it emits light, it has a lot of uses.
