"How can this be okay?"
Le Meng looked at the palm in front of her, especially the five uncontrollable and constantly moving fingers, and frowned.
"To unlock level 1 to 3 magic in the magic book, the price is to lose control of your fingers.
For me, this is something that I can't resist at all.
It just happened to catch the most useful item for me, and it made me replace my limbs. It's hard for me not to think that this is a trap."
"Body replacement..."
Le Meng fell into deep thought:
“If I remember correctly, around 46-120 AD, during the Roman Empire, the Greek writer, philosopher, and historian Plutarch once raised an interesting philosophical question called The Ship of Theseus.
In ancient Greek mythology, it was the hero Theseus who killed the Minotaur.
He returned from Crete in a 30-oared ship.
The Athenians wanted to keep the ship as a memorial and have it permanently docked in the harbor of Athens.
However, as time goes by, the wood on the ship will gradually rot due to sun and rain.
Therefore, the people of Athens would replace the wood on the Ship of Theseus with new wood.
Hundreds of years later, every piece of wood in the original ship has been replaced.
That's the problem.
If the wood on the Ship of Theseus was gradually replaced until all the wood was no longer the original wood, would the ship still be the same Ship of Theseus?
Same principle.
If all the parts that make up [me], [my] body, were replaced, would [me] still be [me]?
If [yes] that’s fine.
But if it's [not], then it will be troublesome.
At what level of replacement will [I] no longer be [me]?
100%? ... 20%? 10%? ... Or maybe 0.01%?
If I am not me, then what will I become? "
Le Meng knocked his head and sighed painfully:
“The data sample is insufficient. It would be great if we could grab something to experiment with.
I wonder if I can catch any creatures in the Abyss of the Heavenly Female. If I can..."
…
…
“Boss…Boss…”
Um?
The squid tail had just been installed, and Qi Ge, who was fishing, suddenly moved his ears, as if he heard some sound.
"Boss, I'm Chaohua, I'm here, come find me."
"This is?"
Qi Ge stopped what he was doing and listened attentively.
What appeared in his ears was like the call of his soul and the murmur of the abyss. In short, it was not a pleasant sound.
Qi Ge had a premonition that he could determine the source of the sound.
"Hiss, I can't believe this weird place. Maybe some monster is trying to trick me into coming here and eat me."
"Boss, I live upstairs in Room 201. I'm Chaohua. Come find me soon."
Seven Pigeons: !!!
It’s really morning flower!
No matter how powerful chaos is, it cannot penetrate reality.
Go, go, go!
The seven pigeons immediately flicked their tails and turned around with the raft.
As he turned around, suddenly, his fishing rod moved!
"Ouch! Something's coming."
Qi Ge quickly lifted the rod and pulled back again and again.
"This guy is not small, and he's quite strong. But he's still not as strong as me. Get up!!"
"Bang!!!"
Qi Ge pulled hard, and a big splash suddenly appeared on the water surface.
Qi Ge's pupils shrank.
He saw a monster with a mantis sickle, a cockroach body, two pairs of fish fins and wings, and red eyes. It was biting his fishing line, wriggling its body and flying, and pounced towards Qi Ge's face.
In desperation, Qi Ge picked up a piece of wood and hit him hard!
"What a monster! Die now!"
Bang.
As the wooden boards collided with the monsters, a battle space suddenly opened up!
Enter combat mode.
30*30 small battle space, naval battle mode.
The Seven Pigeons were dumbfounded. They were very sure that they had not opened the combat space.
This means that the battles in this Chaos Treasure House are turn-based.
This discovery did not make Qi Ge excited, but made him even more frightened.
"The Abyss of the Heavenly Female is a top-level treasure house at the Dragon Country level. This level of treasure house comes with turn-based combat as standard, which means that the mechanisms of the treasure house outside of combat will be extremely biased towards the chaos side.
The raft... the Abyss... replaceable body parts... it's possible that I've only scratched the surface, and there are other dangers in the Abyss that I can't even imagine."
Qi Ge looked at the other party, which was the same monster as the 7th team * 30 units just now.
The magic book cannot be used, and Qi Ge cannot see the specific attributes of the opponent.
Fortunately, Qi Ge had unlocked 20 archers before.
Qi Ge divided the 20 royal archers into 8 teams and arranged them in the pattern of 2, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2, 3, 3.
When entering the battle, the archer takes the first action, which means that the movement speed of these strange insects is less than or equal to 10 points.
【Royal Archer
Faction: Barrier
Level: 3
Rank: 5
Quality: Hidden
Attack: 16
Defense: 12
Range: 16
Ammo: 48
Damage: 15-16
Health: 120
Speed: 10
trick:
Double burst: Shoot twice
Heavy Storm: When shooting and hitting an enemy unit, all other friendly ranged soldiers with the [Light Storm] and [Heavy Storm] specialties will ignore their range and attack the target once.
Archery: You don't need to specify a target when attacking. You can control the arrows and give them a movement speed of 32 points.
When an arrow overlaps an enemy unit, it is considered as being shot by an archer.
Spiritual Arrows: Recover 2 ammunition per round during battle, and automatically refill ammunition after the battle. 】
The first team of archers took the lead. He pulled the handsome arrow-patterned bow and shot two green arrows in succession.
Under the control of Qi Ge, the first arrow streaked across the sea and accurately hit a group of strange insects.
-14!
At the moment the damage number popped up, the remaining seven teams of archers who had not taken action raised their bows and shot arrows at the same time!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Each archer double-clicked, and a total of 14 arrows hit the monster insect 1 in succession
-14!
-16!
-twenty one!
…
A long list of damage numbers popped up at the same time. A team of 30 strange insects didn't even have a chance to move before they were killed instantly.
-16!
At this moment, another green arrow hit another group of strange insects.
The 7 teams of archers drew their bows and drew their arrows again!
An archer shot once and killed two teams of monster insects in seconds.
This is the Archer. Even if there are not many of them, they are still extremely violent output machines.
The Seven Pigeons have [Advanced Command Ability] and can lead 8 teams of soldiers.
As long as they don't get killed first, even if there are only 8 archers, they can deal the same damage as hundreds of wood elves, and they don't have to worry about ammunition.
In total, only four teams of archers took action, and all the strange insects were shot into sieves.
The battle was over, and the seven pigeons and the raft returned to the Tianpin Abyss.
On the raft, there appeared a bug the size of a palm.
Red-eyed fish worm
Effect: Can be used as bait, worth 30 HP limit. 】
Fishing caught the bait...
"It looks big, but it's so light. Is this bug hollow?"
Qi Ge was weighing the red-eyed fish worm and suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.
He tied the red-eye worm just above the hook and cast the rod quickly.
When the fish hook entered the sea, Qi Ge immediately pulled up the fishing line. As Qi Ge had expected, the red-eyed fish worm floated on the surface of the sea in Tianpin Abyss.
"It's done!"
The seven pigeons were overjoyed.
He pulled the fishing rod and kept letting the red-eye fish worms swim on the water surface, simulating the appearance of a live red-eye fish worm.
In reality, there is a fishing method called lure.
Luya, the name comes from the transliteration of Lure.
Fishing is done by using lures to imitate small creatures and provoke larger fish to attack.
This fishing method requires skill and the comprehensive operation of the rod, bait and reel. During the whole process, the angler is exercising the whole body.
At the same time, lure equipment is simple, clean and environmentally friendly, which is very different from traditional fishing methods.
Usually, lure fishers will throw fake bait into the water, and then repeatedly turn the reel to simulate the appearance of small fish escaping to attract big fish to bite the hook.
At the moment the big fish attacks the lure, quickly pull back the fishing rod, pierce the hook into the body of the big fish, and then pull the fish out.
The action of pulling the rod quickly is called spearing among anglers.
Common lures include fly hooks, melon seed sequins, VIBs, thunder frogs, etc.
Although Qi Ge does not have a fishing reel or fake bait now, this does not stop him from trying lure fishing.
The huge and conspicuous [Red Eye Fish Worm] can be used as a lure.
Because the fishhook is located low, as long as he has good skills, he can pierce the prey before the [Red-Eyed Fishworm] is swallowed and get it for free.
"Give it a try. If it works, you won't have to pull your hair out."
Qi Ge picked up the fishing rod and moved towards Chaohua while paying attention to the movements on the sea.
Suddenly, Qi Ge saw a black bubble emerging from the calm sea.
“Here it comes!”
He swung the fishing rod violently and accurately hooked the fish at the bubble.
[Red-eyed fish worm] had just landed on the water surface when a rapidly growing black shadow suddenly emerged from underwater. Qi Ge concentrated all his attention, seized the opportunity, and lifted the rod with force!
Crash!
A white hand emerged from the sea, and under Qi Ge's control, the [Red-Eyed Fishworm] just managed to avoid the hand's grasp.
He exerted force with his palm and grabbed the fish hook.
The fishhook pierced through the palm of the hand fiercely, making the pale palm bleed profusely.
The fish was stabbed successfully and hit the target with one strike!
"A huge creature, a huge creature visible to the naked eye, come up to me!"
Qi Ge tried hard again, and with a "swish" sound, a white palm with a red wrist was pulled out of the sea by Qi Ge.
As soon as I came out of the water, my hands, which had been struggling violently, suddenly became obedient.
【Walkerlind's mysterious right arm
Effect: Replace the body (right forearm + palm)
Basic health +50
Unlock the [Abyss] manufacturing station after equipping.
Or throw your arm into the water to randomly summon the Abyss BOSS, which is extremely difficult to fight. You can get a lot of rewards after defeating it. 】
"Hiss~~ Unlock the crafting station!! You can also throw it into the water."
The seven pigeons were startled.
"It's impossible to throw it into the water now. Who knows what the Haiyuan BOSS is? I'm just a bunch of useless people. Fighting the BOSS is just courting death."
"As for equipment, this, this, this... unlocking the crafting table means that I can make things? I still have 30 large wooden planks here."
"But, I swore...Oh my god, never mind, it smells so good."
…
…
"Boss, Qi Ge, where are you?"
"Qi Ge, can you come find me? It's so dark here and I'm so scared."
Chaohua sat on the raft, holding a fishing rod, muttering to herself in solitude.
She stroked her throat while waiting for the fish to bite.
It has been half an hour since she put on the [Black Mermaid's Throat Worm], and her throat has gone from dry to painful as if it were being scraped by a knife.
Chaohua had a feeling in her heart that if she hadn't received Qi Ge's kiss in another ten minutes, the [black fish's throat worm] would disappear, and her throat would be filled with useless bubbles, making her completely mute and losing the ability to speak.
Chaohua tried to replace her throat, but was told that it was in a special state and could not succeed.
Obviously, the clues about the things in Tianpin Abyss are not complete. There are all kinds of traps hidden inside. If you are not careful, you will be killed.
Chaohua does not regret her choice. If she is given another chance, she will still choose to replace.
She just felt a little regretful:
"Oh, I really am.
The dungeon has only just started. Even the great god Qi Ge can’t get a fast-moving sail or oar and get to my side in such a short time.
I should have used it later.”
It was the last two minutes. Just as Chaohua bit her lip and was about to give up, suddenly, a call came from the distant fog:
"Asaka! Where are you?!"
This familiar voice shocked Chaohua immensely.
She jumped up from the raft and shouted back, "Boss, I'm here!"
"Zhaohua, stay where you are, I'm coming!
Crash!
With the sound of waves lapping, a raft quickly emerged from the fog.
“Old…Old, boss?!”
Chaohua, who was half happy, was dumbfounded.
She really couldn't connect the strange giant squid with two hands in front of her with the Seven Pigeons God.
…
…
[Hint: In such a vast ocean, you can actually find your lost companions.
I have to say, you are very lucky.
But luck will not always be on your side. Only the weak will huddle together for warmth, and the weak who huddle together are still weak.
You will eventually continue to sink in this endless abyss until you become one with me. 】
【Hint: You found your teammate Chaohua. 】
【Tip: Your Ship of Hope can be combined. 】
"Chaohua, don't be afraid, it's me."
When Qi Ge saw Chao Hua’s stunned look, he realized that he looked a little scary.
He reached out, grabbed his clothes, and tore them apart.
The giant squid split into two halves, revealing the figures of seven pigeons.
Seeing this familiar face, Chaohua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, you scared me to death. I thought you turned into a squid."
Qi Ge shook the squid skin on his hand and said:
“This is my equipment, which is equivalent to the treasures in the Tianpin Abyss Treasure House.
I'll explain it to you later, let's put the raft together first."
Qi Ge's raft collided with Chao Hua's raft, and the two rafts immediately combined and merged into one under a mysterious force.
Qi Ge completely took off the squid clothes, then dragged a layer of squid skin to Chao Hua and asked:
“Chaohua, how did you signal me to come over?
Can we use this method to find other people?"
"ah!!"
Speaking of this, Chaohua suddenly shouted.
"Boss, there's no time to explain, kiss me now!"
Qi Ge: ???
"What the hell?!"
