"..."

Shen Lang was speechless and looked at Xiao Wu, who was walking towards him with a smile and a cable in his hand.

"Uncle, don't get carried away! It's so dangerous to jump into the sea at night!"

Xiao Wu is young, he looks to be in his early twenties, but he is also an old pirate who has been with Chen Yuniang and her father for many years. He is a good suona player. From birth to burial, he can wrap up a circle with just one suona.

Now it seems that Xiao Wu is indeed a key veteran on the Feiyu. In addition to being able to play the suona, he is also good at rope skills.

Not only could he pull Shen Lang back with a flying rope from a long distance away, but the rope could actually tie knots in the air. The knotting pattern made Shen Lang confused for a while and he didn't know how to untie it.

"It's not that I can't think about it, I just want to swim all of a sudden. Brother Wu, please untie the rope for me first..."

"Uncle, it's not suitable to swim in the sea at night. It's too dangerous. You should go back and accompany the shopkeeper."

"What's the danger? I'm not bragging. In this whole Feiyu, if I think I'm second in swimming skills, no one will dare to claim to be first."

Xiao Wu didn't laugh at him for bragging, he just shook his head and said with a playful smile:

"No. I don't know how many old seals who rely on their swimming skills were taken away by the Dragon King when they went into the sea at night. No matter how good your swimming skills are, you just can't go into the sea at night. If you want to swim, you have to wait until dawn. Today is

I'm keeping watch all night, if something happens to my uncle in front of my eyes, the shopkeeper might want to take my skin off."

Shen Lang tried hard to talk, but Xiao Wu refused to let go, so he had no choice but to agree to come down and go back to accompany Chen Yuniang.

Only then did Xiao Wu come over and help him untie the rope from his body.

"Brother Wu, your rope skills are pretty good!"

"Just average, far inferior to Shopkeeper Hu of the Blackwater. His rope-juggling skills are truly outstanding."

"Shopkeeper Hu of the Blackwater is a gifted magic. Brother Wu, this is a real skill that you have practiced hard. It's different. What about that, Brother Wu, can you teach me?"

"My uncle is also interested in rope skills?"

"Well, this is an art, worth learning and studying..."

Xiao Wu winked:

"Could it be that my uncle wants to learn how to use it on the shopkeeper?"

Shen Lang looked serious:

"How is that possible? Brother Wu, don't talk nonsense, I am a serious person..."

"Haha, actually it doesn't matter if it's used on the shopkeeper. But please think carefully, uncle. The shopkeeper's natural power cannot be tied up with ordinary ropes."

"I really didn't think about it that way..."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. It's rare for my uncle to be interested in a sideline like mine, so Xiao Wu can't help but appreciate it..."

At that moment, Xiao Wuzhen carefully taught Shen Lang how to play rope.

In fact, Xiao Wu's rope-juggling skills are not just a side trick, but a combination of whip skills, half martial arts and half juggling.

Any rope, in Xiao Wu's hands, can be turned into a murder weapon, and can also be used as various auxiliary tools. He can tie people up, take objects from a distance, seize weapons, climb over walls and walls, and even shoot with a rope and roll with a rope.

Use various weapons to attack remotely...

Various usages allow Xiao Wu to have fun.

Xiao Wu's craft obviously requires a lot of understanding and imagination. It also requires high hand-eye coordination, sense of space, and sense of distance. Coincidentally, Shen Lang happens to have this series of qualities.

Coupled with the assistance of Xiao Yue, the "Demon Taming Technique", it only took him an hour to learn all the key points of Xiao Wu's rope skills. What he lacked was just proficiency.

"The shopkeeper really has a keen eye for talents. My uncle is really a genius. He actually learned the art of eating from me so quickly..."

Xiao Wu sighed repeatedly:

"I have nothing to teach my uncle anymore. I just need to practice more in the future, and sooner or later my rope-juggling skills will surpass mine."

Shen Lang said cheerfully:

"I would also like to thank Brother Wu for his careful teaching."

Xiao Wu smiled handsomely:

"Side talk is not worth mentioning. In fact, these days, for low-level warriors like us, muskets are more practical. Although muskets are more troublesome to load, even sixth- or even fifth-level warriors can only take one shot.

I have to die. I heard that my uncle is a sharpshooter? This skill is much better than playing rope."

Is it over again? Pi Xiaolian looked at Shen Lang:

"Okay, uncle, it's time for you to go back and accompany the shopkeeper. Tomorrow is the day of the 'Heroes Conference'. Whenever big events happen to the shopkeeper, she will always be excited for a long time. In the past, she asked the brothers to accompany her to drink and fight with each other, but now

…”

He winked and gave Shen Lang a "you understand" look.

Shen Lang shook his head helplessly, thanked Xiao Wu a few more times, and then returned to the captain's cabin.

After a while.

A little white cat sneaked out of the captain's cabin, holding an old, half-bald brush in its mouth.

It landed silently, avoided the sight of the pirates on duty with light steps, came to the side of the ship, and jumped towards the sea.

When it was about to touch the sea, the little white cat suddenly disappeared into the sky, leaving only an old half-bald brush that fell to the sea and drifted with the waves.

Soon, the seawater below the brush began to ripple, and a figure appeared out of thin air in the seawater.

It was Shen Lang.

"Sister Yu still needs to practice for a few hours, which will give her enough time to test her abilities!"

Shen Lang dived under the water, raised his hand to grab the fine brush, and the half-bald brush immediately turned into a dragon and snake brand, which was attached to the back of his left hand.

Take back your fine pen, and the waves will not come to the surface of the water, just feel it quietly in the water.

He couldn't breathe through his mouth and nose, but there were traces of cool breath, seeping into his skin and flesh from every pore in his body, and blending into his limbs. Not only did he not feel depressed or uncomfortable at all, but he felt an indescribable sense of ease and comfort, as if he was originally

They are aquatic species.

"The efficiency of skin absorbing oxygen in water feels higher than normal breathing!"

Shen Lang thought to himself, and after feeling it quietly for a while, he rowed his arms and legs, and began to swim in the water.

The resistance of the sea water was mostly removed by the "invisible mucous membrane" on the surface of his skin.

He can even clearly feel every vortex undercurrent around him with his skin, and then almost instinctively, he either avoids the interference of the vortex undercurrent, or uses their power to save physical energy and increase swimming speed.

Before the crossing, Shen Lang's water skills could only be considered as barely able to swim. After splashing in the water for a hundred meters, he would be exhausted.

But at this moment, after a brief period of jerkiness and clumsiness, his swimming speed became faster and faster, his swimming style became more and more skillful and elegant, and gradually he looked like a real big fish, moving back and forth flexibly on the seabed.

If a dolphin came to compete with him at this moment, he might not lose.

After diving and swimming for a while, Shen Lang gradually moved away from the pirate port lined with sails and sails, and came around to the side of the pirate island, a dangerous shoal covered with rocks.

"It's time to test the abilities of the little fish!"

With a thought, Shen Lang summoned Xiaoyu.

The little fish fell into the sea with a pop, without any discomfort. It gently swayed its fiery red carp tail in the sea, circling around the waves.

"Shen Lang, I'm in the second realm!"

The little fish spoke human words, and the clear and tender voice of a child was full of joy.

"Congratulations!"

Shen Lang smiled and congratulated him, and then praised:

"Little fish, you have become more beautiful."

"Really?"

Xiaoyu's voice revealed a hint of shyness, but of course it was more of joy.

Although it has a somewhat arrogant temperament and prides itself on being a straight servant who never flirts with its victims, Shen Lang praised it for being more beautiful, which still made it elated. It kept jumping out of the water, jumping over Shen Lang's head again and again to show him

Its increasingly slender and gorgeous figure:

"Shen Lang Shen Lang, look at my tail, does it look a bit like a mermaid? I feel like I'm about to have a waistline..."

Waistline?

Shen Lang was dumbfounded, how could a carp have a waistline?

This is an illusion, Xiaoyu!

Transforming into a dragon is your future, turning into a mermaid with a waistline is an evil way.

But seeing how happy the little fish was, Shen Lang didn't have the nerve to hit it. After it showed off happily for a while, he asked:

"Xiaoyu, how is your strength now?"

"awesome!"

The little fish said proudly, and suddenly swam to a rock and shouted:

"The dragon swings its tail!"

The little fish flicked its tail and hit the rock with all its strength, causing stone powder to fly into the air and a spiderweb crack the size of a palm to appear.
