Chapter 661 The Ship of Theseus

"How can this be okay?"

Le Meng looked at the palm in front of her, especially the five uncontrollable, constantly moving fingers, and frowned.

"The price of unlocking the 1st to 3rd level magic in the magic book is to lose control of your fingers.

For me, this is something I can't resist at all.

It just happened that the most useful prop for me was caught, and it allowed me to replace my limbs. It's hard for me not to feel that this is a trap."

"Body replacement..."

Le Meng fell into deep thought:

"If I remember correctly, it was probably between 46 and 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.

When he returned from Crete, he took a 30-oared ship.

The Athenians wanted to keep the ship as a memorial and dock it permanently in the harbor of Athens.

However, as time passed, the wood on the ship would gradually rot due to the sun and rain.

So, the people of Athens would replace the wood on the [Ship of Theseus] with new wood.

Several A hundred years later, every piece of wood on the original ship has been replaced.

That's the problem.

If the wood on the Ship of Theseus is gradually replaced until all the wood is not the original wood, then is this ship still the original Ship of Theseus?

The same reason.

If all the parts that make up me, my body, are replaced, then am I still me?

If I am, it's fine.

But if I am not, then it's troublesome.

At what level of replacement, will I not be me?

100%? ... 20%? 10%? ... Or 0.01%?

If I am not me, then what will I become? "

Le Meng knocked on his head and sighed painfully:

"The data sample is insufficient. It would be nice if I could catch something to experiment.

I wonder if I can catch any creatures in the Abyss of Tianpin. If I can..."

...

...

"Boss... Boss..."

Hmm?

The squid tail had just been installed, and Qi Ge, who was fishing, suddenly moved his ears, as if he heard something.

"Boss, I'm Chao Hua, I'm here, come find me."

"What is this?"

Qi Ge stopped what he was doing and listened attentively.

What appeared in his ears was like the call of the soul and the low hum of the abyss, in short, it was not a pleasant sound.

In the dark, Qi Ge had a premonition that he seemed to be able to determine the source of the sound.

"Hiss, I can't believe it. This weird place, maybe some monster is fooling me over there and preparing to eat me in one bite."

"Boss, I live upstairs 201, I'm Chao Hua, come find me quickly."

Qi Ge: !!!

It's really Chao Hua!

No matter how powerful the chaos is, it can't penetrate reality.

Go, go, go!

Qi Ge immediately swung his tail and turned around with the raft.

As he turned around, his fishing rod suddenly moved!

"Ouch! Something is coming."

Qi Ge quickly lifted the rod and pulled it back again and again. "This thing is not small, and it's quite strong. But it's still not as strong as me, get up!!"

"Bang!!!"

Qi Ge pulled hard, and a big splash suddenly exploded on the water surface.

Qi Ge's pupils shrank.

I saw a monster with a mantis sickle, a cockroach body, two pairs of fins and wings, and red eyes biting his fishing line, constantly wriggling and flying, and pounced on Qi Ge's face.

In a hurry, Qi Ge picked up a piece of wood and hit it hard!

"What monster, die for me!"

Bang.

When the wood board and the monster collided, a battle space suddenly opened up!

Enter the battle mode.

A small battle space of 30*30, naval battle mode.

Qi Ge was dumbfounded, he was very sure that he did not open the battle space.

This means that the battle in this Chaos Treasure House is turn-based.

This discovery did not make Qi Ge excited, but made him even more terrified.

"The Abyss of the Heavenly Female is a top-level treasure house of the Dragon Kingdom. This level of treasure house comes with a turn-based battle as standard, which means that the mechanism of the treasure house outside of battle will be extremely biased towards the chaos side.

Raft... The Abyss of the Heavenly Female... Replaceable body parts... It is very likely that I have only seen the surface now, and there are other dangers in the Abyss of the Heavenly Female that I cannot imagine."

Qi Ge looked at the other party, who was a monster of 7 teams * 30 units just now.

The magic book could not be used, and Qi Ge could not see the specific attributes of the other party.

But fortunately, Qi Ge had unlocked 20 archers before.

Qi Ge divided the 20 archers into 8 teams and arranged them in the order of 2, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2, 3, 3.

When entering the battle, the archers took the lead, which means that the movement speed of these monster insects is less than or equal to 10 points.

[Archer

Force: Barrier

Level: 3

Rank: 5

Quality: Hidden

Attack: 16

Defense: 12

Range: 16

Ammo: 48

Damage: 15~16

Life: 120

Speed: 10

Specials:

Double burst: Shoot twice

Fierce Storm: When a shot hits an enemy unit, all other long-range units with the special skills of [Firestorm] and [Firestorm] will attack the target once regardless of their range.

Archery Control: You do not need to specify a target when attacking, you can control the arrow branch, so that the arrow branch has a movement speed of 32 points.

When an arrow branch overlaps with an enemy unit, it is regarded as an arrow archer shooting at it.

Spiritual Arrows: Recover 2 ammunition each round during battle, and automatically refill the ammunition after the battle. 】

The first team of royal archers took the lead. He opened his handsome arrow-patterned bow and shot two green arrows in succession.

Under the control of Qi Ge, the first arrow crossed the sea and accurately hit a group of strange insects.

-

14!

The moment the damage number popped up, the remaining 7 teams of unmoving archers raised their bows and released arrows at the same time!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Each arrow archer double-clicked, and a total of 14 arrows hit the monster insect 1-

14!-

16!-

twenty one!

…

A long list of damage numbers popped up at the same time, and a group of 30 monster insects were instantly killed without even a chance to move.

-

16!

At this moment, another green arrow hit another group of strange insects.

Team 7 archers bent their bows and set arrows again!

An archer shot once and killed two groups of monster insects instantly.

This is the arrow archer, even if there are not many in number, it is still an extremely violent output machine.

Qi Ge has [advanced command ability] and can carry 8 teams of troops.

As long as the first move is not blocked, even if there are only 8 archers, they can produce the output that hundreds of wood elves can produce, and there is no need to worry about ammunition.

A total of only 4 teams of arrow archers took action, and all the strange insects were shot into sieves.

The battle ended, and the seven pigeons and the raft returned to the Abyss of Heaven.

On the raft, there was an extra insect the size of a palm.

【Red-eyed fish insect

Effect: Can be used as fishing bait, worth 30 life limit. 】

Fishing caught bait...

"It looks big, but it's so light. Is this bug hollow?"

Qi Ge weighed the red-eyed fish insects and suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

He tied the red-eyed worm just above the hook and cast quickly.

When the fishhook entered the sea, Qi Ge immediately lifted the fishing line. As Qi Ge thought, the red-eyed fish worms floated on the surface of the Abyss of Heaven.

"It's done!"

The seven pigeons were overjoyed.

He pulled the fishing rod and kept the red-eyed fish worms swimming on the water surface, simulating the appearance of live red-eyed fish worms.

In reality, there is a fishing method called lure.

Luya, the name comes from the transliteration of Lure.

Use fake bait to imitate weak creatures and cause big fish to attack to fish.

This fishing method pays attention to skills and requires the comprehensive operation of rod, bait and wheel. During the whole process, the fisherman is doing full-body exercise.

At the same time, the Luya equipment is simple, clean and environmentally friendly, which is very different from traditional fishing methods.

Usually, lure guys will throw fake bait into the water, and then repeatedly rotate the roller to simulate the escape of small fish to attract big fish to bite the hook.

The moment the big fish attacks the fake bait, quickly pull back the fishing rod, pierce the hook into the body of the big fish, and then drop the fish up.

The action of quickly pulling the rod is called stickleback among anglers.

Common lure lures include fly hooks, melon seed sequins, VIB, thunder frogs, etc.

Although Qi Ge does not have a reel fishing rod or fake bait now, this does not prevent him from trying the lure fishing method.

The huge and conspicuous [red-eyed fish bug] can be used as bait.

Because the fishhook is positioned lower, as long as he is skilled enough, he can stab the prey before the [Red-Eyed Fish Insect] is swallowed up and bring him up for free.

"Try it. If it works, you won't have to pull out your own hair."

Qi Ge lifted the fishing rod and moved in the direction of Chao Hua while paying attention to the movement on the sea surface.

Suddenly, Qi Ge saw a black bubble emerging from the calm sea.

"Coming!"

He swung the fishing rod sharply and accurately swung the hook to the bubble.

[Red-Eyed Fish Insect] had just landed on the water, and a rapidly growing black shadow suddenly appeared under the water. Qi Ge concentrated on it, got the timing right, and lifted the pole with all his strength!

Wow!

A white palm emerged from the sea. Under the control of Qi Ge, the [Red-Eyed Fish Insect] just escaped the grasp of the palm.

The palm of his hand suddenly exerted force and caught on the fishhook.

The fishhook pierced the palm of his hand hard, causing the white palm to drip with black blood.

The fish stick is successful, one hit!

"Giant thing, giant thing visible to the naked eye, come up here!"

Qi Ge tried hard again, only to hear a chirping sound, and a white palm connected to a red wrist was pulled out of the sea by Qi Ge.

Once out of the water, the palms that were still struggling suddenly became calmer.

[Walkerlind’s mysterious right arm

Effect: Replacement body (right forearm + palm)

Base health +50

After equipping it, the [Abyss] manufacturing station will be unlocked.

Or throw your arm into the water to randomly summon the Abyss BOSS. The battle is extremely difficult, and you can get a lot of rewards after defeating it. 】

"Hiss~~ Unlock the manufacturing platform!! You can also throw it into the water."

Qi Ge was shocked.

"It's impossible to throw it into the water now. Who knows what the Haiyuan BOSS is? I'm just a few crooked melons. If I beat the BOSS, I'm not looking for death."

"In terms of equipment, this...does unlocking the manufacturing station mean that I can make things? I still have 30 large wooden boards."

"But, I swore... Oh my god, never mind, it smells so good."

…

…

"Boss, Qige, where are you?"

"Qi Ge, can you come to me? It's so dark here and I'm so scared."

Chaohua hugged the fishing rod and sat on the raft, muttering softly alone.

She stroked her throat while waiting for the fish to bite.

It had been half an hour since she put on the [Black Fish Throat Worm], and her throat had gone from dryness to a pain like a knife.

Chaohua had a feeling in her heart that in ten minutes, if she hadn't received Qi Ge's kiss, the [Black Fish's Throat Worm] would disappear, and her throat would be filled with useless bubbles, turning her completely mute. , lost the ability to speak.

Chaohua tried to replace her throat, but was reminded that she was in a special state and could not succeed.

Obviously, the hints about things in the Abyss of Heaven are not complete, and there are various traps hidden there. If you are not careful, you will be trapped to death.

Chaohua does not regret her choice. If she is given another chance, she will still choose to replace it.

She just has some regrets:

"Hey, that's true of me too.

How long has it been since the dungeon started? Even the Seven Pigeons Master couldn't have gotten a sail or oar that could move quickly and rushed to my side in such a short period of time.

I should use it later. "

It was the last two minutes, and just when Chaohua was biting her lip and about to give up, suddenly, a call came from the distant mist:

"Chaohua! Where are you?!"

This familiar voice shocked Chaohua.

She jumped up from the raft and responded loudly: "Boss, I'm here!"

"Chaohua, don't move where you are, I'm coming!

Blah blah blah!

With the sound of crashing waves, a raft quickly sailed out of the fog.

"Old... old, boss?!"

Chaohua, who was half happy, was dumbfounded.

She really couldn't connect the weird giant squid with hands in front of her to the Seven Dove God.

…

…

[Tip: On such a vast ocean, you can actually find your lost companions.

I have to say, you are very lucky.

But luck will not always favor you, only the weak will stick together to keep warm, and the weak who hug together will still be weak.

You will eventually sink into this endless abyss until you become one with me. 】

[Hint: You found your teammate Chaohua. 】

[Tip: Your Hope Boats can be combined. 】

"Chaohua, don't be afraid it's me."

Seeing Chaohua's stunned look, Qi Ge also knew that he looked a bit scary now.

He reached out, grabbed his clothes, and tore them open left and right.

The giant squid split into two halves on the left and right, revealing the figures of seven pigeons.

Seeing this familiar face, Chaohua breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss, you scared me to death. I thought you turned into a squid."

Qi Ge shook the cuttlefish skin on his hand and said:

"This is my equipment, equivalent to the treasures in the Treasure House of Tianmin's Abyss.

I'll explain it to you later. Let's close the raft first. "

Qi Ge's raft collided with Chao Hua's raft, and the two rafts immediately joined together under a mysterious force and merged into one.

Qi Ge completely took off his squid clothes, then dragged a layer of squid skin to Chao Hua and asked:

"Chaohua, how did you send me the signal to come over?

Can we use this method to find other people? "

"ah!!"

Speaking of this, Chaohua suddenly shouted.

"Boss, it's too late to explain, kiss me quickly!"

Qige:? ? ?

"What the hell?!"

ps: Thank you for the alliance leader reward for entering Liangchuan in Zhongxia. The boss is confused.

Owes +4000.
