Chapter 42: The Mark
The tentacle's first attack was successfully repelled by Wu Hui.
But the Queen's Blade is in the shape of a flying knife after all, and the blade length is too short. Even with a multi-function shovel, it is impossible to completely cut off the tentacle.
Blood splattered all over the floor.
Wu Hui watched one tentacle retract quickly, and then saw another tentacle pop out quickly.
And the owner of the tentacle was also noticed by him.
It was an octopus with a head at least one meter long, and it was probably five or six meters long including its tentacles.
Sure enough, this game couldn't be just a matter of pure wilderness survival. Wu Hui scanned his glasses, printed the information about the octopus into his mind, and threw out several blue copies of the Queen's Blade.
Those are all from the blood of the octopus. It's just that there is no way to add Wu Hui's freezing damage like before. It's a pity.
The blade spanned the space and penetrated directly into the octopus' eyes that seemed to be glowing.
Wu Hui's throw was accurate. The octopus' brain was hit by the blade, but its tentacles suddenly went crazy, making the already damaged ship even more precarious.
The blade and multi-function shovel were waved continuously, blocking the tentacle attack in front of him. After a while, the octopus finally stopped slowly. The body disappeared, leaving a light spot that seemed to be waiting for Wu Hui to touch it.
bump.
Wu Hui, who had also been slapped twice before, first took out the Book of Life to recover, and then walked towards the light spot.
"Night vision, aquatic, shape-shifting. Please choose."
"Huh?" Wu Hui pushed up his glasses. Although he couldn't immediately understand what these choices meant. But in theory, they should be rewards, so he chose... Shuiqi.
It is indeed more useful to live in water near the sea.
An octopus-shaped rune mark with strange symbols fell down. Wu Hui picked it up.
"Aquatic Imprint
After use, you will gain the ability to breathe underwater for thirty minutes. It can be mixed with other materials to make a potion, or it can be imprinted on items in a special way."
"Magic potion?" Wu Hui frowned: "What are the specific settings?"
You probably have to continue exploring the island to find out. For now, let's find what you need from the sunken ship.
"As I expected, there is no lifeboat, but there are life jackets and swimming rings. These can be taken back. Then there are seasonings, kitchen utensils and food..."
These things cannot be moved all at once. So this place will become a place where Wu Hui often comes, just like the beach and the garbage dump.
After carrying a bunch of things back, Wu Hui finally ate canned food and rice tonight.
By the way, I also took two rolls of paper towels that were wet with water, and they were barely usable after they were dried. The rice was also a little damp, so it had to be dried.
It was sunny these two days, so lucky.
Watching the crackle of the fire and eating a can of potato and beef stew, Wu Hui closed his eyes and thought about what he would do tomorrow.
In his opinion, the progress of the past two days is still a bit slow. He has not even completed a circle around the island. The food on the sunken ship and the resources on the beach are enough to last for more than ten days, so while the weather is still sunny now, he will go there tomorrow.
Go around the island and find out more about the situation.
We should start making rafts the day after tomorrow at the latest. There should still be a lot of materials found on the sunken ship.
On the third day, Wu Hui set out after preparation. Today, he had to go around the shore no matter what. If there was still time, he would pick up some things from the sunken ship and return to the camp.
In this case, the temporary tent made of various woven bags and rags is a bit small, and you have to find a way to expand it.
Or build a small tent specifically for storing supplies.
On this day, Wu Hui walked a long way and found three or four garbage gathering places on the beach along the way. Fortunately, he picked up a bunch of rotten fishing nets and several bundles of hemp ropes that seemed to be still usable.
"Foam boxes, plastic bottles, and the lifebuoy from before. If you want to build a raft, these things are very useful." Wu Hui pushed up his glasses: "Although we only ask to build a raft, we must not do it half-heartedly."
At least it must be difficult to capsize, it must have sails or be easy to paddle, and it must be able to secure enough supplies - especially fresh water and fuel. Finally, it must be able to get food.
It was because the requirements were too high that Wu Hui felt that the progress was slow.
"There's another one?" Wu Hui calculated based on the angle of his turn and the distance he traveled that he was about to circle the island, when he suddenly saw a huge crab moving on the beach on the shore.
The shell of a crab that is larger than a human is probably very hard. I don’t know if the Queen’s Blade can break it.
After thinking about the octopus he encountered in the sunken ship, Wu Hui guessed that such a monster wouldn't be too difficult to defeat in theory. With the Queen's Blade's attack, there was a high probability that it would be fine.
What's more important is that the enemy has already arrived first.
I saw the crab walking towards Wu Hui with its teeth and claws bared. This is what the word domineering probably refers to. It was quite fast.
He took off his glasses and prepared to fight.
Wu Hui had nothing else in his hand, just a move like Queen's Blade. He threw out several flying knives.
It can break through armor, but it won't penetrate deeply.
This crab doesn't seem to be in any serious danger. It looks like it needs to be rubbed slowly.
The tool shovel hit the crab's body, he turned sideways to avoid the attack, and then pierced the surface of the pliers with a knife. Wu Hui's movements were very flexible, and his fighting style was also very precise, without any panic.
Calm, accurate and rational.
This will be Wu Hui's lifelong fighting style.
Crabs are arthropods, and arthropods account for 80% of all animal species on Earth (insects are the main part of arthropods, accounting for 80% of arthropods, which also accounts for 100% of animal species)
64). It is enough to show that this species has strong vitality.
An exoskeleton is the best protection for their survival. Of course, the exoskeleton cannot grow with the body, and the problem of regular shedding also wastes a lot of energy, severely limiting their size.
But crabs are an exception. Although they also need to change their shells, even among the crabs that exist on the earth, some can grow to more than four meters. In comparison, although the one in front of you is a bit harder, it is completely within the normal range.
.
After spending a long time and paying the price of being pinched again by pliers, Wu Hui finally killed the crab.
He took a long breath, activated the Book of Life, and touched the light spot at the same time.
"Carapace, aquatic, lying on the sand."
"Carapace." Wu Hui made his choice without hesitation.
"Carapace Mark
The protective effect of the carapace will last for five minutes after use."
The other aquatic marks are the same as before. Potions can be mixed, or they can be engraved on other things in a special way.
But I didn’t say how to do it specifically.
"Huh." After recovering from his injuries, Wu Hui stood up and walked towards the crab's original position.
There is a stone with obvious artificial traces.
"The Stone of Engraving
Optional engraving:
Armored ship = aquatic with strong carapace
Speedboat = aquatic rapid burst
Sailing boat = aquatic habitat, quick wind control"
"This thing... should be used to help me strengthen the raft." Wu Hui thought thoughtfully: "Different reinforcements represent different routes for the future?"
