Moye Saber Marines (Third Update)
The Team Channel is a private communication method for teams using the Permanent Team-Building Item, but team members need to be within a certain distance to communicate; they cannot communicate if they are too far apart. This distance is related to Divine Might.
With Li Shuyi's current Divine Might, she can only communicate with Bai Xiaowen using the Team Channel within 100 meters, while Bai Xiaowen can transmit his voice from 400 meters away. This is the difference brought about by Divine Might.
Hearing Li Da Mei Nu's complaint, Bai Xiaowen smiled slightly and also communicated via the Team Channel:
"It's alright, people have to be given a chance to shine."
"Then what should we do?" Li Shuyi was also a bit clueless.
"Both sides in the battle were likely pirates. One side, with a white cloth wrapped around their arm, had the upper hand, while the pirates without white cloths were at a disadvantage. I speculate that this was a Ambush attack, a firefight between two pirate factions."
Bai Xiaowen through the Team Channel, "As for our identities, we were originally innocent villagers from Fujian, but we inexplicably appeared in the hold of this ship... We're most likely kidnapped by one of the pirate groups. That's all for now, let's play it by ear and see what kind of person Zhao Zhixiong is."
As Bai Xiaowen analyzed the situation, Li Shuyi also observed the battlefield conditions and found that Bai Xiaowen's words Yi-Yi true, which made her feel much more at ease.
As the group of four had just climbed from the hold onto the deck, a thin pirate with a wounded left arm approached them, muttering curses:
"You bunch of pigs, who let you out? Get back here!"
Bai Xiaowen noticed that this pirate was not wearing a white turban. He understood that the pirate force that had kidnapped the four people was the one that had been Ambush and was temporarily at a disadvantage.
Without hesitation, Zhao Zhixiong said, "Kill him!" At the same time, he took the longbow from his back.
This longbow is exceptionally ornate, with twinkling starlight on it, clearly a valuable piece of Gold Equipment, and it has been enhanced to a very high level.
Tai Shuisheng lunged forward, his shield slamming into the pirate's stomach, sending him staggering. At the same time, Zhao Zhixiong drew his bow to its fullest extent and Pierce an arrow that pierced the pirate's throat.
Critical Hit exceeding 1/3 of the wounded pirate's Life Value triggers an instant kill effect!
The pirate clutched his throat and collapsed, revealing a Bronze Treasure Chest.
Tai Shuisheng's face lit up with joy. "The first monster dropped a treasure chest! Brother Zhixiong, this is a good omen!"
Zhao Zhixiong turned around and smiled, "Sorry, I didn't expect this monster to be so easy to kill. I killed it with one arrow... You can have the next one."
Although the four temporarily formed an offensive and defensive alliance, according to the Spirit Realm Rules, they are still considered two separate teams. The treasure chests and Psionic Points obtained by Zhao Zhixiong and his companion will not be shared with Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, since the two did not Kill Contribution.
Li Shuyi remained silent, probably looking down on a Bronze Treasure Chest. Bai Xiaowen, however, smiled amiably, "It's alright, no need to deliberately cause trouble. If you have the ability, I wouldn't mind clearing out the pirates on this ship..."
Just then, the belated notification from the Spirit Realm Rules finally arrived:
"Welcome to the Jiajing Plane World. Would you like to spend 100 Psionic Points to convert your language to the Common Tongue of this dimension (Ming Official Speech)?"
Bai Xiaowen chose yes. As for her appearance, the Spirit Realm Rules provided her with a set of tattered refugee clothes, which suited her current situation and identity, so Bai Xiaowen was in no hurry to change.
Immediately afterwards, the Spirit Realm Rules notification sounded again:
Main Quest: Choice Begins
[Quest Objective: Join a faction and gain Revered reputation or higher.]
[Task Deadline: 10 days]
[Task Difficulty: A]
[Task Reward: Unknown]
Zhao Zhixiong and his companion also received the main quest, and their spirits lifted. Zhao Zhixiong said, "Killing this henchman just gave me a notification saying that my reputation with the pirate Ye Mazi Faction has decreased, but my reputation with the pirate Xu Hai Faction and the Anti-Pirate Ming Army Faction has increased..."
Before they could exchange more information, the sound of heavy footsteps rang out, and three burly Han Empire carrying ring-pommel swords rushed over, their demeanor completely different from that of the first wounded, skinny pirate.
"Damn it, this batch of goods is a pain! The boss has ordered them all killed!"
Bai Xiaowen offered his Insight to one of the Han Empire pirates.
[Qi Laosan (Elite Tier Level 7)]
[Race: Human Species / Human Race]
[Occupation: Moye Saber Marine]
[Attributes: Strength 40, Agility 28, Constitution 30, Spirit 14]
[Skills: Chaotic Cloak, Advancing Slash, Heavy Cleave, Water Combat Proficiency]
Although its constitution is 30 points, this Elite Tier pirate has already crossed the level 7 threshold, making it a high-level monster. It has an additional [Water Combat Proficiency] skill, which grants it an extra 100 Life Value points when fighting on water, giving it Life Value points.
Furthermore, 40 points of strength should not be underestimated; its destructive power is considerable, comparable to a level 4 strength-type boss. The other two pirates are certainly not weak either.
Zhao Zhixiong lacked the talent for Insight and couldn't discern the strength of these three Elite Tier pirates. He conceived the idea of taking them all for himself, and with a Scatter, three arrows whistled out, all aimed at the throats of the three pirates.
His Ranged Shooting Specialty are indeed very high, at least at the advanced level of six or seven.
However, the two pirates dodged the arrows, which struck their shoulders, causing a negligible thirty-odd points of damage.
The last pirate, Qi Laosan, whom Bai Xiaowen Insight, was a little too slow to dodge and was shot in the throat. However, with 400 Life Value, he was obviously tough and didn't care at all. He pulled out the arrow, wrapped a rag around his neck, and continued to charge forward with great energy and shouts.
Clang!
Qi Laosan's broadsword came down, and Tai Shuisheng his shield to meet it. However, there was a significant difference in their strength. Despite Tai Shuisheng's good technique for deflecting force, he was still forced back a step by the blow and slightly lost his balance.
Two other Elite Tier pirates charged forward, swords drawn.
Zhao Zhixiong finally realized how powerful these three Elite Tier pirates were; they hadn't been instantly killed by Vital Strike, meaning Elite Tier Life Value exceeded 300! He quickly turned around and called for Bai Xiaowen and the other person to help.
Bai Xiaowen didn't stand idly by either. With Zhao Zhixiong's Hero Class strength, even if Bai Xiaowen remained on the sidelines, he should be Power Slash these three, though it would take more effort. The group was currently on an enemy ship and needed to finish the battle quickly.
With a whistle, Rageclaw appeared on the ship's side, pounced, and unleashed a barrage of Bite and Rend skills, steadily pulling away two Elite Tier pirates.
Just as Zhao Zhixiong thought Bai Xiaowen's team was overestimating themselves by pulling two troublesome Elite Tier pirates, Li Shuyi drew her gleaming +7 golden longsword, spun around, and charged forward!
