Chapter 253 The Rotten World (44)

Adventurer...adventurer is not a good word.That refers to people who are separated from their hometowns, unable to live a stable life, and need "adventures" to survive-they are dangerous elements that the lord fears, and they are the elements of instability that make officials frown.

They rely on brute force and courage to make a living, seeking money and stimulation. They are freaks who choose such a path of being feared and discriminated against when they obviously have a better choice to be soldiers and guards.

Adventurers are, after all, a bunch of barely legal brigands, lunatics who do things that other people who desire a quiet life don't want to do or dare to do.

Qing Chao is an adventurer and is proud of it.

He pursued a difficult and dangerous journey, exciting battles, wealth and satisfaction after the adventure—it was these that supported him and his companions who were also adventurers to walk on this continent, causing adventurers to emerge in endlessly.

And now, in the ice abyss of the ancient ruins, fighting against a group of deformed monsters and giant monsters that have never been seen before... Isn't it a grand adventure?

The ape beast had already rushed in front of him, and Qing Chao could already smell the fishy smell and a strange sweet fragrance from the other party's mouth.

With an unremarkable horizontal slash, the ape's neck and left shoulder were torn apart like fluffy sackcloth, but Qing Chao didn't stop, he took a step forward, and another semi-circular arc with watery light slashed across The three apes that were still running had no time to raise their sharp claws to pounce, and their severed body and blood were blown away by the remaining force of the sword.

The wave patroller, or 'wave patroller' is the true shape of the navy dedicated to the Whale Song Cliff Army. Although it has begun to spread throughout the continent in recent decades, its strength has not been eliminated, and it has been adopted by many naval crew And adventurers adopt.

Possessing the dual ability to control water flow and wind, the Patrolman is best at using a long sword to slash air-breaking water blades that can cut steel and iron. In the battle of the Three Seas in the past, facing the sea monsters that swept like a torrent The army, under the leadership of the leader, was the [-] wave patrollers who waved their swords together and cut out the sea-opening sword light that made the tsunami retreat, helping the besieged vanguard fleet break through the siege, and brought Key information about the Sea Demon Nest Master.

When Qingchao was a child, he always heard his father talk about the great battle, and he heard his retired father proudly pointing to the scars and badges on his chest, saying that he was one of the five thousand wave patrollers who wielded swords at that time.

My father always said that he hoped that he could also become a respected swordsman of Whale Song Cliff, and a person who patrols the waves that even the sea can't stop.

His father taught him how to swing a sword, how to walk, how to sense the breath of the sea, how to fight monsters and people, and excitedly picked him up every time he made progress, and scraped him with his stiff beard. s face.

But that father died.

Because of the deterioration of injuries after the war, because there was not enough good medicine, because the soldiers were not fully paid, and because there were too many wounded soldiers who retired after the Battle of the Three Seas, Jinggeya could not send enough Mara to let those Soldiers who deserved their pay, got what they deserved.

Just three hundred maras, just ninety thalers, just...

A bottle of medicine.

——Why did I become a sublimator and use up all the savings in my family?

——Why don't you sell the sword, obviously I don't deserve such a good sword at all!

——Why...you still have such high expectations of me?

Qing Chao's sword swung even faster, those apes with only brute force were as ridiculous as children in front of him, he just waved the sword casually, and the ape's head was already rolling.

The high-level strength of the first energy level is indeed not worth mentioning in front of the real strong, but it is already an insurmountable high wall in front of these abnormal beasts.

With Qing Chao as the center, the offensive of the deformed apes is not only slowing down, but even regressing - starting with his forward pressure, many apes retreated one after another, because if they don't retreat, what awaits them is a swift and merciless die.

At this moment, the sea-born long sword in his hand made the ice and snow in the atmosphere shake, because ice is just a change in the nature of the water source.

As long as he can reach the second energy level and become a 'tide swordsman', not only the physical wind and snow, but also the blurred mist and cold air will become his sword light.

It's just...just like this...

But not enough.

The number of apes and beasts is counted in thousands, which is a large army enough to start a war, and the moths also sensed the extra conspicuous target of Qing Chao, and began to attack with ice cones and hailstones - for a while, the swordsmen had to restrain themselves and cut Instead of killing the ape beast, he turned to fight against the flying ice arrows.

He is very proficient, and the wave patrollers in the army do not need these skills, but the wave patrollers who act alone, not in the army, but on their own adventures have given up the technique that can work together to cut the wave-breaking sword energy, but focus on one person Various fighting skills for adventure.

But how can one stop everything?What's more, this time the speed of the moths is much faster than last time, other fronts are also fighting, and the team members who went to find other exits have not yet returned, and Qing Chao is really fighting alone.

Therefore, it was not negligence, but an ice pick that was really unstoppable, piercing his thigh and waist, causing the swordsman to groan and had to stop in place.

He swung his sword again, and saw two snow-white sword lights coming out of the air, spanning more than ten meters, and the eight apes and beasts that wanted to pass the swordsman were cut into two pieces neatly, and the two moths that issued ice picks It also broke at the sound, and the body exploded and fell—the wave patrolling man can slash such a long-distance killing sword energy even in the sea, this is no longer the strength that the first energy level high-level should have, but the strength that is close to the peak!
Among all the people present, no one can compare with Qing Chao in strength.

Boom boom boom!
The sound of the artillery has already begun to howl again, because of the induction of the blue tide, a large number of moths gathered together and attacked him, so they also became the target of the follow-up artillery fire - more than twenty adult frost moths were smashed by the artillery, turning into pieces. For the flying slurry and debris.

Not a small result—but everyone knows that they are only using the strength of the fleet to accumulate strength. These monsters have come to die, and then use the dead of the same kind as food for transformation.

When a sufficient number of moths have completely transformed, no matter how fierce the artillery is, they will end up being overwhelmed by these monsters.

Everyone could see this, but they still had no choice but to reload the limited ammunition in desperation, and sent someone to send the heavily injured Qing Chao back to the position.

"Swordsman, you are too strong. If you hadn't taken the risk to gather those big moths together, we would have been frozen by the blizzard they set off!"

The person who spoke was an elf pirate whose hometown was in Naian, with a touch of the accent of the Royal Court of Heaven—this group of pirates had completely convinced Qing Chao in several attacks and defenses.

It was also Qing Chao's own plan to use himself as bait to wipe out those really dangerous moths.

"Pfft...the number is not enough. There were more than 50 frost moths before, and only two-fifths of them have been wiped out..."

On the way back to resettlement, Qing Chao spat out blood, still a little dissatisfied: "It would be great if I could kill a few more."

Breathing, after a while, Qing Chao whispered: "Now that the number of frost moths is decreasing, you go quickly... The position here can no longer be defended... The people who went to look for the exit before have not come back, and I don't know Whether they escaped or were not found, we can't wait now..."

"Leave me here, I can still fight for a while, hold back some monsters... If I can survive, just send some money to my family."

Whether it is the pirates or the crew of the exploration ship, they can only be silent... Qing Chao can see it, why can't they see it?It's just that this reality is too desperate, and they don't know what to do after leaving the position.

"There is always a way." They could only repeat like this.

And Qing Chao closed his eyes and slowly regained his strength.

Until he heard a roar that tore through the air, but was not a cannonball from the sky.

Opening his eyes, the swordsman saw that a bluish-white stream of light flashed across the air, a white figure slashed forward with a black iron sword in his hand, and the bluish-blue waves waved with the surging source quality. Draw an arc forward.

"This is……"

Immediately, he opened his eyes wide and watched in disbelief as Ian, who came from nowhere, charged into the swarm of insects with a wave of sword light.

"This is the Sword of Destroying Waves?!"

Qing Chao saw that Ian slashed out with a sword, and the power of the fairy wings agitated the frosty wind, turning it into a big wave in the frozen ground.

Where the sword light passed, flesh and blood of apes and beasts splattered, and the liquid of monster insects splattered everywhere.

It's like a sword light appearing in the ice abyss that separates the sea, but the sea here is not a real sea tide, but a community of monsters and abnormal beasts. With the blue sword light as the center, monsters They backed away one after another—not because of fear, but because of Ian's power that forced them to fall.

Even, because Ian's speed was so fast, sometimes it looked as if he had crossed the herd for a long time before the waves of blood and slurry exploded.

There was a gap in the team of the deformed apes immediately, and the moths in the sky turned their heads and retreated on their own initiative—they gave up this wave of offensive and prepared to accumulate another wave of strength.

The horde of monsters retreated.

The young man retracted his sword, turned around, and walked towards the position - the surviving crew members of the exploration ship cheered, and the pirates looked complicated, but a small number of them applauded and celebrated.

Not long after, Ian came to Qing Chao.

"Thanks to you, otherwise, these people present may not survive."

He stretched out his hand and pressed on the opponent's already frozen wound, the source of the water system was infused, making Qing Chao's injury gradually improve - but because the ice pick pierced through the viscera, the swordsman still did not get rid of the endangered state.

"For myself."

Because of the gradual improvement of the wound, the swordsman felt far more severe pain than before. He took a breath, and clearly sensed the passing of his life.

Qing Chao raised his head and looked at Ian. He smiled wryly and raised his hand, holding up the long sword tightly: "The sword just now...was really powerful."

"I can't do it anymore, this sword is for you... If you can go back alive, remember to ask the Ellen family to give me more pension..."

"Confess the funeral so early?"

And Ian just glanced at the swordsman with the eyes of caring for a fool, and then shook his head: "Forget that I am an alchemist, and the Ellen family sells potions?"

"You can live, don't talk nonsense, if you want money, just go home and give it yourself."

He took out a regeneration potion with a needle from his pocket, and stuffed it into the hands of the sea-born swordsman who was stunned: "After the injection, take care of your wounds, the newly regenerated internal organs will be a little fragile, but it is enough for you to exert the strength of the first energy level. "

The young man said so, he stood up, and praised from the bottom of his heart: "The sword energy just now is very powerful, I can't cut it out-don't see the power of my sword just now, it's better to rely on inheritance and weapons."

"You don't need to underestimate yourself, you are really strong, you won't die here."

Qingchao didn't hear the words behind Ian.

Because he just stared blankly at the potion in his hand.

A bottle of elite grade, worth two to three hundred talers, a regeneration potion that can regenerate internal organs.

As long as my father had such a bottle of regenerative potion... no, half a bottle.

As long as he has half a bottle, he will not die, and he can even heal all the hidden wounds... He doesn't have to retire at all, and he doesn't have to become an adventurer, go through life and death, and earn those Dangerous blood money.

A glorious battle of the three seas cannot allow veterans to get their family's salary after bleeding, but an adventure that stems from a despicable murder among noble relatives can easily get such a bottle of potion.

Holding this regenerative potion, Qing Chao wanted to cry, but couldn't because of the cold wind.

"Haha...hahahaha!!!"

Because of such an ironic fate, the man cried and laughed, but couldn't help it.
