Chapter 19 Flying Fish

Basic martial arts and body protection Qi are passive effects and do not require Qi to perform.

In addition, the 2nd level Yangyan monk has mastered three special martial arts, all of which require Qi to activate.

The first is "Wind Fist". In addition to the normal attack action, the monk can also spend 1 point of Qi to hit two extra punches as fast as the wind every round as a bonus action.

In other words, the 2nd level monk can attack 3 times per round. In comparison, the 2nd level berserker who can only attack once per round seems too clumsy.

Even if Gao Fei turns on "Frenzy", the efficiency of outputting damage is not as good as Jiang Feng's monk.

"Sun Fist" and "Daylight Barrier" are both light-attribute martial arts, which can be regarded as the signature skills of "Yangyan Sect".

It takes 1 point of Qi to activate "Sun Fist", which increases the next unarmed attack by 2d6 light damage. A strong light bursts out at the moment of hitting the target. If the opponent cannot pass the Fortitude Saving, it will temporarily fall into the "blind" state.

It takes at least 4 points of true Qi to activate the "Daylight Barrier". The radius of 20 feet around the body is filled with blazing light, providing sufficient light to dispel all dark magic and supernatural darkness not higher than the 2nd ring. It can also make light-based martial arts such as "Sun Fist" gain attack roll advantages. It is obviously a strengthening buff tailored for Yangyan Sect monks!

In addition to these abilities derived from the monk profession, Gao Fei noticed that Su Mo had learned an additional specialty, and what was even more outrageous was that he carried a magic item with him.

The specialty was "Alertness" awarded by Jiang Feng after passing the prologue yesterday. People with this ability are always ready for battle to avoid enemy surprise attacks. At the same time, they can also gain advantages in the test of competing for the initiative. With Su Mo's super high agility attribute, it is always easier to seize the initiative in encounters.

The brass collar on Su Mo's neck may seem inconspicuous, but it is actually a magic device. The constant 1st ring spell "Endure Environment" can make the wearer immune to cold and heat and avoid the negative effects of harsh environments.

For a level 2 character, even refined weapons are treasured, and it is unlikely to obtain magic equipment. Gao Fei really couldn't figure out how Jiang Feng got this magic collar?

"You mean the collar? This is not dropped by killing monsters."

Jiang Feng smiled and revealed the mystery.

"The copper collar is Su Mo's initial equipment. It is said to be his mother's relic. It seems to be crucial to the subsequent plot of the module "Stranger in the Vast Sea", but I haven't figured out how to trigger the plot clues about the collar."

The two introduced their own characters to each other, and then set off for the adventure.

According to the scheduled itinerary, Gao Fei plans to go to the south of the island today to find the "Flying Fish" privateer stranded on the beach.

If the maintenance of the ship is OK, Basaka can repair the "Flying Fish" with the craftsmanship of the boatman, drive the ship away from the deserted island, go out to sea to find the island where the tomb of the ancestor King St. Olaf is located, and retrieve the holy axe buried with him.

Before leaving, Gao Fei thought of the black bear he had tamed yesterday, so he went to the beach to catch some fish and bribed Brother Bear to accompany him and Jiang Feng to explore the southern part of the island.

The plan went smoothly at first.

The black bear enjoyed a delicious fish meal, and then followed Basaka on the road. After a morning, the two of them and the bear finally arrived at the southern part of the island. They saw a sailboat stranded under the cliff of the cape from a distance, bearing the impact of the waves.

"Look, that ship is the 'Flying Fish' mentioned by Fred Lange in his diary!"

The morning's work was not in vain, and Gao Fei couldn't help being a little excited.

Jiang Feng also looked at the ship curiously, but his face gradually became solemn.

The condition of the "Flying Fish" was worse than expected. The two masts had been broken long ago, and the hull was split in half, with the bow facing the beach.

"This ship has been stranded here for some years. Can it be repaired?" Jiang Feng asked Gao Fei.

"Well... wait a minute, I'll let Basaka pass a maintenance test."

The test difficulty was as high as 25, and the result was no surprise.

"The 'Flying Fish' was too badly damaged, and it's even more difficult to repair it than to build a new ship."

Gao Fei smiled bitterly, and all his hopes were shattered.

"How could this happen...it shouldn't be like this!"

Jiang Feng couldn't accept it.

"From the perspective of game design, the player spent a lot of effort to find the 'Flying Fish'. Logically, this ship should be the key vehicle for the protagonist to escape from the deserted island, but the ship is so broken that it can't be used. So what's the point of designing this plot clue?"

"I can't figure it out either. This is really unexpected."

Gao Fei suppressed his disappointment and said thoughtfully: "Maybe the situation is not as bad as it seems on the surface. There is a possibility of a reversal later. Anyway, let's explore the ship first."

"That's all we can do now." Jiang Feng nodded in agreement.

The two walked onto the soft beach and waded through the tide to approach the stranded "Flying Fish". When they got closer, they found that the stern of the oak hull had sunk below the sea surface. The tilted deck was covered with seaweed and barnacles, which looked wet and slippery. If you were not careful, you would fall.

Gao Fei took out the rope from the snakeskin bag made by Basaka and made a noose, intending to use it to climb onto the bow.

At this time, Jiang Feng pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Your bear didn't catch up, what's going on?"

Gao Fei looked back and saw that the black bear was wandering on the beach, seemingly not wanting to get close to the "Flying Fish".

Gao Fei whistled and waved, but it was useless. The black bear still ignored him.

Jiang Feng watched from the side and said thoughtfully: "The instinct of wild animals is very sharp. The black bear probably smelled danger on the boat, so it refused to follow."

Gao Fei thought what she said made sense, but he was still annoyed by the black bear's paddling behavior.

"Xiong Xiong, you are a bit unkind! So I caught so many fish for you, but they were all in vain, right?"

"Woo-ah~"

The black bear had a bad temper. After being scolded by him, the bear's face sank, and it roared unhappily, turned around and returned the same way. No matter how Gao Fei shouted, it did not look back.

Watching the black bear's figure quickly go away, Gao Fei was helpless.

After all, Basaka was not a druid or a ranger. With his animal taming skills alone, he could not force the beast to go against its nature and accompany him on an adventure.

Jiang Feng saw that he was ruthlessly abandoned by the black bear, and he covered his mouth and giggled.

"Forget it, let's go aboard and see what's going on."

Gao Fei manipulated Basaka to throw a rope, hit the mermaid statue on the bow, and climbed up.

Jiang Feng's monk followed closely behind, climbing the rope ladder with more agile movements, and jumped onto the bow in a blink of an eye.

Such agile skills, worthy of a monk with 18 points of agility, Gao Fei could only sigh that he was not as good as him.
