Chapter 249 A sneak attack in the dark!

"Everyone, have breakfast first, and then come up to the deck at 6:15. We still have things to do. After that, you can do whatever you want."

After distributing the supplies, Ran Zhongshi left an order and then asked the soldiers to arrange breakfast.

Breakfast mostly consists of fresh fish patties caught last night.

The soldiers lit pillars of fire at midnight to use the fish's tendency to move toward light to catch fish. They caught more than ten precious fish, which were stewed into fish soup and distributed to everyone.

After breakfast, the temperature rose rapidly due to the three-day sky, and the deck was so hot that it felt hot when I touched it.

Ran Zhongshi placed a long table in the shadow under the deck, took out writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked many martial artists to come before him one by one and draw talismans for them.

Ink array.

The Ran family's specialty is making talisman water with various materials, and by carving corresponding runes on the body, it can achieve different strengthening effects.

There are three options in the ink formation that Ran Zhongshi drew for everyone.

One is the tiger blood pattern that can enhance qi and blood, increasing the power of a move by about 10%.

The second type is the Solid Earth Talisman, which increases the defense of those who practice it by 15%.

The third type is the Spirit Snake Talisman, which can increase the flexibility of the recipient to a certain extent.

Ran Zhongshi would draw whatever the martial artists chose. After all, only they themselves knew their own situation best.

"Don't take a shower after you finish painting. The ink array is not easily destroyed by water and can be preserved for at least three days. But you still have to be on the safe side. You can spend the rest of the time getting familiar with the ink array.

The ink array is also your proof of identity, used to distinguish between friend and foe. If you encounter a disguised Ghost Mother Cult, check to see if he has an ink array on him. Lord Wei also has someone who is proficient in this, so don't worry."

Everyone knew which was more important, life or cleanliness, and none of the martial artists present had any objection.

In the following time, everyone did their own things, either meditating or catching up on sleep.

Liang Qu leaned on the railing. A few birds flew across the sky and disappeared completely from his sight after a long time.

The tide was surging beneath me, and my ears were filled with the sound of water crashing.

"Let's go fishing?"

Xu Yuelong appeared beside Liang Qu at some point, holding a fishing rod in one hand and a bucket of "yellow mud" in the other.

The corner of Liang Qu's eyes twitched slightly. In fact, he earned dozens of taels of silver from Xu Yuelong by selling yellow mud.

The more Xu Yuelong came to buy, the more guilty he felt, as if he had deliberately cheated others.

No wonder some people always say that if you want to make money you have to abandon your conscience first.

Xu Yuelong sat on the railing and cast a fishing rod.

The boat was sailing, so it was definitely impossible to bait the bait, but he poured the bait into the yellow mud, and after it was fully stained, he hung it on the fish hook.

"It's your first time on the battlefield. Are you nervous?"

"A little."

It would be a lie to say I'm not nervous.

People will never understand if they are taught by people, but they will learn once they are taught by things.

No matter how many war records a person has read, how many stories told by veterans he has heard, or how many situations he has trained for, he will still be nervous when he actually goes to the battlefield.

When Liang Qu fought with others, most of the time he was the strong defeating the weak, so he was confident and stable.

The attack on the Ghost Mother Sect later will be different.

There were grandmasters, great martial artists, and more than twenty of them. He could easily make people's heads fall off with a single strike of his sword.

What if some Wolf Smoke Martial Artist sets his eyes on little Karami?
There is really no way to go up to heaven and down to earth. Even if he were there, he would just be a small boat on the river that could capsize at any time.

Xu Yuelong laughed out loud.

"Don't worry, the first experience is a little dangerous. I heard from Uncle Yang that you are good at archery. When the time comes, you can stay far away and shoot arrows, focusing on distracting the enemy. As long as you are careful about the archers on the opposite side, there will be basically no danger.

After all, we have more people than the other side, and the powerful ones are all restrained, so it is unlikely that the experts will break through and cut you down."

Xu Yuelong is very familiar with the whole process, as he also grew up in the same way.

Aristocratic families must certainly train their children, otherwise there will be a lack of successors, and they will surely fall into decline in a place where strength is everything. But it doesn't mean that they can just join the soldiers and charge into battle with everyone.

How many descendants would it take to be able to sustain the poison?
Even if they can reproduce more fertile than pigs, they cannot withstand such consumption.

For most of the sons of noble families, their first war was to serve as a distraction with bows and arrows, or to have someone watch over them; they certainly would not serve as a vanguard.

"When the bow sounds, the man dies." "Among the eighteen martial arts, only the bow and arrow is the best."

Fighting from a distance is not only easier to gain merit, but is also much less dangerous.

After going through the meat grinder once or twice and gaining experience, they will no longer be so weak and helpless when seeing people chopping at them with knives. They will then try to actually join the army and fight with others.

Otherwise, the mortality rate would be too high, and in large-scale battles, the newcomers would be the most likely to die.

There was a flash of knife, and the next thing I saw was a headless body rushing forward. I didn't react until I died.

When Liang Qu heard this, he felt extremely fortunate.

Becoming Yang Dongxiong's disciple was probably the best decision he had ever made in his life. It saved him from so much trouble from head to toe.

If you need connections, you have them. If you need martial arts, you have them.

While others slept in a dormitory, he slept in a single room, so he could still be taken care of even in important events like going to the battlefield.

in the afternoon.

Ran Zhongshi prepared the materials and began to draw ink arrays for Liang Qu and others.

The things used inside were obviously much better than those drawn for ordinary martial artists in the morning, and there were many more choices provided.

When it was Liang Qu's turn, he asked Ran Zhongshi to increase his defense and lighten his body.

In short, try to increase the survival rate as much as possible.

Upon hearing the request, Ran Zhongshi did not think it was a big deal, and even thought it was a good thing that young people did not have the stubbornness to seek attention.

The fiery brushstrokes flow on the skin, the light red talisman water flows on the body, and when the ink array is connected from beginning to end, a very unique feeling appears on the body, as if there is another set of blood circulation methods around the body.

Liang Qu stood up and moved around. He really felt that his body was much more relaxed. The improvement in defense was not yet known, but it was definitely an increase.

This technique reminded him of something - Nuo mask, which is about gaining the power of God through painting facial makeup.

They both serve the same purpose.

Everything is done, and the next step is to wait for the ship to arrive at its destination.

"The Ghost Mother Cult's base we are currently heading to is on an island. The terrain there is very complicated. Although we have a large number of people, we are not familiar with the terrain after all. Do not walk around by yourself and must travel with others.

If you see someone straying, you must not chase after him alone. Catch him if you can, and let him go if you can't. Our targets are mainly the two grandmasters, the two great martial artists, and the remaining twenty or so wolf smokes.

These are the core points, do you understand? "

"understand!"

"Okay, I'll start assigning tasks. Ke Wenbin, you..."

The last ray of light in the sky was swallowed up by dusk.

The fiery clouds dimmed, iron-gray shadows occupied half of the sky, and night fell.

No one was sleeping on the ship, everyone was waiting quietly.

The so-called island land refers to an area surrounded by islands, which are so densely packed that if you look down, they are like human lungs. Fish will get lost if they go in.

This kind of terrain makes it extremely easy to send people to keep watch, as the building ships are too large and easily exposed.

Therefore, at around 3:15 am, everyone changed to a small boat.

Liang Qu carried a long bow and spear on his back and followed Ran Zhongshi and Xiang Fangsu on a boat.

Yang Dongxiong has a more important mission, and Liang Qu would be in more danger if he went there.

Several soldiers rowed the boat silently.

There were more than twenty martial artists sitting on both sides of the boat, and hundreds of soldiers, and occasional sounds of communication could be heard.

Half an hour later, the shadow of the island emerged in the night.

"Silence, obey orders!"

Xiang Fangsu said in a low voice.

Everyone nodded one by one and said nothing more.

Dozens of wide-bellied boats slowly sailed into the island.
