Chapter 252: Di Xin's Combat Power

Time passed for another half a month. On this evening, there was thunder and lightning, and wind and rain.

The sky was covered by dark clouds, heavy rain poured down, and deafening lightning sounded from time to time in the sky, like ghosts dancing wildly in the air. The strong light produced by the lightning illuminated the faces of everyone on the ship brightly.

The strong wind howled, the sound roaring like a wild beast, continuous. The hurricane rolled up the waves, and the waves were higher than the ship's hull.

The ship's hull shook violently under the push of the waves, and the people on the ship couldn't stand still at all, as if the ship could be overturned by the huge waves at any time. Everyone showed nervous expressions.

The sailors on the ship quickly got busy, lowering all the sails at the fastest speed. Only then did the shaking of the ship's hull lighten a lot.

"Damn it! What kind of ghost weather is this? Blowing such a strong wind on the sea is really deadly!" Xiong Dali couldn't help but curse.

"Normal, the weather on the sea is changeable. We are about to sail into the Death Sea Region. After arriving at the Death Sea Region, you will find that this kind of weather is just drizzle, and there is a worse environment waiting for us."

Leng Yan looked at the thundering sky and said with a heavy face.

"Everyone be careful, don't fall off the ship..." Nie Qingcheng reminded loudly.

Just at this time, a sea beast with green scales climbed onto the deck, spat out a long tongue, and rushed towards Xiong Dali, who had the loudest voice, at an extremely fast speed.

But with the flash of a lightning bolt, the deck was as bright as day, and Xiong Dali also discovered this thing that had climbed onto the deck to sneak attack him for the first time.

He quickly pulled out a big knife from his storage bag, was quick-eyed and fast-handed, and cut the rushing sea beast into two halves with one knife. Blood appeared on the deck instantly, and it was quickly washed away by the rain.

"What kind of thing, dare to sneak attack your master! Looking for death!" Xiong Dali cursed angrily.

But after Nie Qingcheng saw this sea beast that was already in two halves, her face changed quickly, and she hurriedly shouted loudly: "This is a Green Scale Beast! Everyone be careful! This thing is gregarious!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a piece of Green Scale Beasts climbed onto the ship from both sides of the ship's hull, and then launched an attack on the people on the ship.

But fortunately, Nie Qingcheng reminded them in time, and all the crew members on the ship had already made combat preparations and were fighting with the invading sea beasts. The deck was instantly in chaos.

"What's going on! What kind of thing came up!"

Hearing the fierce fighting sound outside, Long Xuan finally stopped being a salted fish at this time, ran out of the ship's cabin quickly, took out the famous knife that had not been used, and along the way, one Green Scale Beast after another fell into a pool of blood.

Although the Green Scale Beast had a scale armor, it couldn't withstand the sharpness of the famous knife at all.

Seeing that the Green Scale Beasts were only numerous but not strong in combat, Long Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

This group of Green Scale Beasts shouldn't pose too much danger to the crew.

The crew on the Divine Dragon ship were all carefully selected by him, basically all at the Spirit Refining peak, and their combat power was not weak.

But after all, the sky was dark, the vision was unclear, and the ship's hull was shaking violently, making it difficult to stand still. In this harsh environment, once the fight lasted for a long time, the crew might also suffer casualties.

So Long Xuan hurriedly shouted: "First Mate! Do you want to open the barrier to block all the Green Scale Beasts outside!"

Hearing the sound, Nie Qingcheng's face changed, and she hurriedly shouted: "Absolutely not!"

"This thing will run onto the deck to attack people when it sees them. If it can't attack people, it will directly attack the ship's bottom and the ship's hull."

"The ship's bottom, no matter what material it is made of, has durability. Try not to be destroyed by this thing! It's very troublesome to repair the ship's bottom on the sea!"

"And this thing's foot pads have great gripping power and can be firmly grasped on the ship's hull, which is very difficult to shake off."

"Once you encounter a Green Scale Beast, the best way is to kill them all, don't give them a chance to destroy the ship's bottom!"

Long Xuan would never command the experts as a layman. This Nie Qingcheng had been a captain and had rich experience at sea. What she said was likely correct, so Long Xuan listened to her.

"Good! Everyone work hard, kill all the things that came on the ship, and after successfully rushing out, I will treat everyone to wine!"

Hearing this, all the crew members' eyes lit up, and their throats couldn't help but gulp.

The captain's wine was not ordinary wine, it was simply a human immortal wine, and its intensity was the only one they had ever seen in their lives.

If it were other wine, they would probably have no reaction, but if it were the captain's wine, it would be enough to make everyone excited.

So, because of the captain's words, everyone's eyes shone, their morale rose greatly, and their combat power increased by three points out of thin air, killing the Green Scale Beasts and retreating steadily, and pieces of Green Scale Beasts fell off the deck.

Long Xuan also took the opportunity to observe the combat power of the crew members.

The one with the strongest combat power was that Yang Zhan. After all, he used to be a Spirit Sea stage powerhouse. Even if his cultivation realm dropped, how could his combat power be that of an ordinary Spirit Refining stage Gu Cultivator?

Just the rich combat experience was not comparable to ordinary Spirit Refining stage Gu Cultivators.

Just looking at his body shape, one knew that Yang Zhan's most outstanding ability was melee combat. This person's eyes were red, and he seemed to be parasitized by a pair of Pupil Gu. Under these eyes of his, all the Green Scale Beasts attacking him would deviate from the attack and then be easily killed by Yang Zhan.

All the Green Scale Beasts attacking him, regardless of size, couldn't hold on for a single move. This person's combat power was simply terrifying, and his background must be extraordinary.

Long Xuan glanced at this person from the corner of his eye, revealing a heavy expression.

One must know that Gu insects of the same kind repel each other, and one can only blood-contract one Gu insect of the same kind. And this Yang Zhan actually parasitized a pair of Pupil Gu of the same kind in his left and right eyes. How could this not make him shocked?

He really didn't know how he suppressed this pair of Pupil Gu. Blood-contracting two Pupil Gu of the same kind at the same time was simply a crazy idea.

However, once successful, the benefits must not be small. The effect produced by the superposition of two Pupil Gu is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.

The illusion effect must change greatly due to the superposition, causing Yang Zhan's combat power to soar.

After Long Xuan was shocked, he looked at the second-in-command on the ship, this second-in-command, which was that Di Xin.

It couldn't be said that she was the second-in-command. Her real combat power might not be lower than Yang Zhan. After all, she often courted death but didn't die, and could escape calmly after provoking all major factions, which was enough to show that her combat power was not simple.

But this Di Xin was obviously hiding her clumsiness at this time, resulting in the number of Green Scale Beasts killed not being as good as Yang Zhan.

But even so, Di Xin's performance on the ship was already very conspicuous.

Only to see more than ten arms transformed behind her, and each arm could throw lightning, wind blades, fireballs, etc. The dense attacks smashed into the beast herd, and the Green Scale Beasts died in pieces.

At this time, she was like a mobile turret, and wherever she passed, the Green Scale Beasts were all blown into pieces.

Don't think that her combat power was very fierce at this time. Long Xuan dared to be sure that she absolutely hid her clumsiness and only used less than one percent of her strength.

The arms transformed behind her absolutely couldn't be just more than ten. That move was clearly the Thousand-Hand Guanyin. Without accident, she could transform into thousands of arms behind her, and it was not excluded that she could transform into tens of thousands of arms in the future.

Long Xuan felt his scalp tingle. If thousands of arms each launched an attack, what kind of scene would that be, and who could withstand such an attack?

At this time, he finally knew why Di Xin claimed that she alone could be faster than all shipbuilding factories in building ships.

Because she had many hands and could obviously use one mind for many purposes.

She was not only fast in building ships, but also fast in building anything, and when fighting with people, she could use many hands to beat few hands. Who could beat her? This was already invincible.

Long Xuan had a profound understanding of the combat power of this old friend at this time, and couldn't help but reveal a heavy expression.

After that, the combat power second only to these two was those crew members who held important positions on the ship.

Even the cook, Shangguan Wuwo, and the old ship doctor, Shi Jiefu, were very capable of fighting, all belonging to the best among the same rank.

The strength of these crew members holding important positions was on par, and it was impossible to see who was stronger and who was weaker in a short time.

Even Miao Peipei, the female Gu Cultivator who looked very weak, was not inferior to other male Gu Cultivators in combat power.

The combat power in the third tier was the remaining ordinary sailors. Although they were carefully selected and their combat power was not bad, they were obviously much weaker than those crew members holding important positions.

At this time, some careless sailors had already been injured under the attack of the Green Scale Beasts, but fortunately, they were rescued by other crew members, which was not a big problem.

As for the combat power in the fourth tier, it was that young Master Mo and the two followers beside him.

Those two followers might be good at land warfare, but they seemed to have deep-sea phobia on the sea. Before the Green Scale Beasts came on the ship, they had already been scared to pee by the big waves outside the ship, scared to the point of being unable to walk, and their faces were terribly white.

After the Green Scale Beasts came on the ship, how could they have any combat power?

Contrary to them, in this extremely harsh environment, young Master Mo's expression was quite excited, shouting and screaming excitedly in the storm, as if he hoped the storm would come more violently, the more dangerous it was here, the more excited he was.

This young Master Mo's combat power must be there, with a body of top-grade Gu insects. A person's financial resources and the quality of Gu insects are completely positively correlated.

But it seemed that he had been growing up in a pampered environment, and his combat experience was simply terrible. After seeing the Green Scale Beasts, he rushed up excitedly, and then his thigh was bitten, becoming the first injured crew member.

However, Long Xuan believed that as long as his combat experience accumulated, with his body of top-grade Gu insects, his combat power should be able to squeeze into the top ten on the ship.

But his combat power now could only be temporarily ranked in the fourth tier.

And his two followers, after this event ended, he must throw this pair of twins into the deep sea to overcome their fear of the sea. Once these two people no longer fear the sea, their combat power must not be simple, and maybe they have joint attack skills.

If these two people's combat power was really very weak, how could they be sent to protect this young Master Mo?

This battle lasted until late at night. When the rain in the sky became smaller, the wind became smaller, and the thunder stopped, the Green Scale Beasts finally stopped attacking and slowly jumped off the deck and into the water like a tide.

After the Green Scale Beasts went far away, a group of crew members sat on the deck limply, panting heavily, their bodies didn't know whether it was rain or sweat. Obviously, everyone was exhausted.

Although many people on the ship were injured, fortunately, there were no casualties.

"Hahaha... Satisfying! I haven't fought such a satisfying battle for a long time!"

"Captain! Remember your wine! We successfully held on!" Qiu Tiandao laughed loudly. He didn't forget the captain's promise before.

There was also laughter in other directions.

Long Xuan looked at the crowd and laughed loudly: "Rest assured! The wine is enough! However, everyone is exhausted tonight, and many have been injured, so rest for a night first!"

"Have a good sleep. After resting and recharging, we will drink to our heart's content at noon tomorrow! Wine is worthless to me! It's enough!"

As the words fell, a burst of cheers erupted on the ship.

Following Long Xuan's order, the crew members on the ship finally returned to their bedrooms to rest.

The injured crew members were helped into the first floor and slowly treated by the old crew member Shi Jiefu, who could only work hard for one night.

Long Xuan arranged for his clone to be responsible for watching the ship tonight, and he also rarely took on the important task of watching the ship once.
