Starting from raising the Kraken in the clouds

Chapter 4 Tribute and Sacrifice
Countless strange lights flashed across my eyes quickly.

Everything is being completed like a snapshot in time.

What sounded in my ears were the screams and panic of countless pirates, but the panic finally completely dissipated at a certain moment.

When Baron Bout came to his senses again, he immediately turned pale and covered his chest with an expression full of fear.

"What just happened?"

"Wasn't I thrown into the sea by pirates? Wasn't I about to die?"

Bout looked at his intact chest in shock, apparently unable to fully recover for a moment.

Similar to Baron Bout, behind Baron Bout, the crew members suddenly screamed out in surprise at this time.

"I am not dead?"

"Oh my God, I just seemed to have a terrible hallucination. No, maybe I saw the future. In the future, we encountered a pirate ship in the fog, and I was also killed by a pirate."

"Ah! Is this the case for you too? I seemed to have had such a hallucination just now."

"No! It's not a hallucination. You died too early. You didn't even see what happened next!"

"It was the gods who retraced everything. Our bodies, our flesh and blood were reshaped and saved by the miracles of the gods!!! I understand! I understand! Gods exist! Just as the church pastors preached, the gods The gods only briefly left the world a thousand years ago, and now the gods have finally come again!"

"Yes! That's it! It's the God of the Sea who has come! It's the great God of the Four Seas who has come to the world again!!! It's Him who performed miracles to save us!"

"."

On the cargo ship, countless sailors were stunned at first, then regained consciousness, and soon they all became nervous and screamed and yelled.

It is the fear after experiencing death, the fear of the unknown, and the awe of the so-called resurrection of the dead, the rewinding of time, and the rebirth of flesh and blood.

"Yes! Flesh and blood reshape!"

"We were saved by the great God of the Four Seas! We should have died!"

At this time, Baron Bout, who was the owner of the five nearby cargo ships, suddenly came to his senses again.

At this moment, he finally clearly remembered everything he saw last moment.

All the people and ships were rapidly retreating along the track of time, and their bodies were strangely suspended in the sea and returned to the pirate ship.

Then after hearing the screams and curses of a group of pirates, all time seemed to go backwards without human control, and then when the pirate ship returned to the fog, all the memories were so clear.

It's like a dream, but also extremely real.

"Is all this true?"

"We encountered a miracle? A miracle from Poseidon?"

No!Now is not the time to worry about this! ! !
Bout, whose thoughts were still in shock, suddenly remembered what he should really do now.

Then, he suddenly yelled at the crew:

"Quick! Order all ships to raise sails and turn rudders!!!"

Baron Bout's roar instantly suppressed the commotion and discussion of everyone present.

"Yes! Quick, quick, quick!!! Tell everyone to raise the sails and turn the helm! The pirate ship is coming soon!!!"

The first mate on the ship woke up and immediately yelled in panic.

At this moment, all the crew members finally stopped commotion.

yes!They've already died once!

The pirates are coming! ! !

fast!
Run! ! !

Therefore, amid the panic movements of all the crew members, the five small and medium-sized merchant ships led by Baron Bout immediately began to change directions.The sea and sky were still overcast, but at this time, the fate of five merchant ships that were supposed to be plundered by pirates suddenly changed.

In the heavy fog, more than a dozen pirate ships appeared faintly, but in the end these pirate ships failed to catch up with the maritime caravans that had already set sail and turned away with the wind.

In the foggy sea breeze, the pirates were roaring, but in the end everything had settled.

When the sun rises again in the clear sky over the sea and sky, everything, whether pirate ships or merchant ships, has disappeared.

No one would know that just before, a small octopus that was not that big had just completed its journey back in time, reborn from the shark's mouth and completed another mutation in its growth path.

------

An ordinary house in Xuan Kingdom.

Xue Hao hurriedly ate a bowl of instant noodles, and then stared at the phone screen for a long time.

"How is the time ratio of this game calculated?"

"In this day, Xiao Nuomi has grown to over three meters in one go?"

"What if this really happened in the real world? This game really has a lot of problems, but it doesn't seem to be a loss for me, and maybe this is the life I've always wanted."

After knowing the mystery of the current Poseidon's Heart cloud-raising game, Xue Hao had already put down his psychological burden.

After all, he didn't have a clue. Instead of worrying about gains and losses, it was better to focus on the present.

Some things will have answers one day. Most of the time, life is so fast that it is not even a hundred years old. Everything he gets now is earned. At least now this game makes him feel novel and fun. It is enough.

In short, just let nature take its course.

After tinkering with the current game for nearly a day, Xue Hao now has almost figured out all the functions of the current game.

The interface of Yunyang'Xiao Nuomi' actually only has three functions.

[Feeding], [Interaction], [Sacrifice]

The feeding function is very simple, just let Xue Hao click on the screen to grab food for Xiao Nuomi to eat.

When Xiao Nuomi was little, Xue Hao clicked on the screen to capture plankton and even small fish and shrimps.

But after switching to the Xiao Nuomi interface that had undergone the mutation of [Giant Octopus], the objects Xue Hao could grab were replaced by larger individuals.

Slightly larger marine fish, shellfish, etc.

In short, when a locked aperture appears on the phone screen, Xue Hao can capture these marine creatures by clicking continuously.

It’s just that every capture has a success rate.

This click-to-capture mode is quite similar to playing a fishing game, except that the bullet net of the fishing game is replaced by clicking on the aperture to shrink the aperture and then completely complete the capture.

The caught sea fish will be displayed in the storage bar below the feeding interface, and then you can continue to feed the small glutinous rice automatically.

Of course, in addition to Xue Hao himself being able to catch sea fish, the feeding interface also has a self-discipline function, which simply means letting Xiao Nuomi catch its own food.

As for [Interaction], this is even simpler. Stroking the little Nuomi increases the intimacy value, and even allows the little Nuomi to complete various actions and instructions through the newly unlocked voice control system. In short, this is currently Xue Hao’s most played function, along with teasing pets. The nature is almost the same.

As for [Sacrifice], this is another function that Xue Hao just unlocked this afternoon.

At the same time, the unlocking of this function is also what makes Xue Hao feel most magical and shocking.

Just like now, when Xiao Nuomi caught a sea fish with its tentacle suction cup and raised it to signal Xue Hao outside the screen, a line of subtitles immediately popped up on Xue Hao's screen.

[Xiao Nuomi offered a tribute to the 'Poseidon's father'. It is an ordinary small sea fish. Whether to accept Xiao Nuomi's tribute or not, you can collect the tribute by consuming 0.1 of the cloud nourishment value.]
