Chapter 277 Entering the Sea of Evil Spirits
The hull was cut in half, and the buildings and navigation equipment on the ship were also neatly cut.
The torn planks and iron cables flew everywhere, and a large amount of seawater surged in through the crack section in the center of the hull, filling the nearby cabins in the blink of an eye.
The bow and stern of the ship began to tilt, and the hull also began to sink from slow to fast, and quickly sank into the sea.
"Repair spell, hurry up!"
At this time, as the leader, the Son of Heaven was calm in the face of danger and ordered decisively. At the same time, he took the lead in casting the repair spell on the hull.
Others with restoration spells followed suit.
The sooner the repair spell is damaged, the better the effect. At this moment, they responded in a timely manner. Even serious damage such as a broken hull was rescued in the end.
During several restoration lights, the keel slowly joined together, and the hull slowly recovered.
However, due to the excessive seawater poured in during the repair process, the entire ship still showed a tendency to sink.
"Get into the water and have a look!"
Everyone didn't have time to pay attention to the water entering the hull. After barely stabilizing the hull, they immediately assigned several people with underwater combat capabilities to jump off the sea to check the situation.
Smile was also among them, and several of them were ready to be attacked as soon as they entered the water.
However, when they actually entered the water, they found that the water was quiet. The imaginary attack did not appear, and there was no one nearby.
"No one is underwater!"
Smiling used probing techniques to circle around, and finally reported this conclusion.
"sure?"
"Sure! The other party has already left." Smile said with certainty, because he also used arcane missiles along the way, even people with deep invisibility could not escape his eyes, but still did not find any abnormalities, the only explanation, It means that the other party has left the vicinity.
"What's going on? This person hid on purpose just to hit him?" The devil frowned and looked at the emperor.
The electric arc just now did startle them. If it was the previous era, that single blow would be enough to overturn a ship, but this is in the magical world after all. Human death is still far away.
They thought that attack was just a prelude, and the opponent must have a steady stream of subsequent moves, but in the end, is it really over?
"Has this man escaped?" asked the devil.
"Perhaps... guessed that we were testing him and didn't want to expose our strength?" Smiling suggested a possibility.
The emperor shook his head and continued to issue orders: "Continue to search, and also, notify other ships to be careful..."
It is indeed a possibility that the opponent does not want to reveal their strength, but his intuition tells him that the opponent's counterattack should not end so simply, there is probably a back move...
As a result, before he finished speaking, he heard another subordinate in the castle exclaim: "No, this person seems to have come to our side. The Flywheel has just been attacked!"
"Flywheel?"
The Son of Heaven and the Devil were taken aback when they heard the words, and hurriedly took the formation map of the warships beside them.
The eight ships are distributed in an octagonal shape, and the Flywheel is in the upper right corner of the Spade, the closest ship to them.
However, the so-called nearest is also thousands of meters away, and how long has it been since the opponent attacked them? In less than half a minute, the opponent is a fish, so it's impossible to move so fast, right?
"What attack have you suffered?" the emperor asked hastily.
"The text prompt is an electric arc, emerging from the sea, and it is still cutting the hull, and it has almost dismantled our ship into eight pieces..."
"President, it can't be repaired..." the members who were arranged on the Flywheel complained incessantly.
The main force of the battle is basically arranged on the Spade, and of course there are people on other ships who can repair the curse, but the repair is not easy to destroy. The other party has such a 'big sword', which is hidden under the water to show off its power. Don't cut it People only chop ships, and no matter how hard they try to repair them, they can't keep up with the speed at which the hull is destroyed.
"There is no need to repair it, let's all go into the water and find the trace of that person!" The emperor made a decisive decision.
"yes!"
People on the Flywheel abandoned the ship and went into the water one after another.
However, after searching around, there was still no sign of the other party.
"President, I found a scale here, and the text said it was a mermaid scale!" The only subordinate who found something reported.
"Mermaid?" Everyone looked at each other, their faces even more strange. Did the other party get help from the mermaid?
"All people and ships, move closer to the center of the formation!" The emperor immediately changed the order.
Now it seems that the opponent does not attack people, but only attacks ships. It is obvious that they have seen through the uneven distribution of their combat power, and are going to find those weak points to defeat them one by one.
Others heard the words and acted according to the order.
However, within a few minutes of their assembly, two ships were chopped down one after another like melons and vegetables, and sank into the sea forever.
Seeing this result, everyone was glad that the president's order was issued quickly enough, otherwise, the boats present today might have been wiped out.
Soon, all the ships and personnel finally converged. Hundreds of people were crowded on the five ships, but they still dared not relax.
At this time, the five ships were completely wrapped in fog, and layers of fog kept rolling around. The visibility was less than ten meters, and the ghost knew from which direction the opponent would attack next.
Facing the oppressive force of a legendary master, everyone can only maintain a high level of vigilance, staring at the phone without daring to blink.
Just stared at it for more than two hours, until the night dissipated and the sky began to show a pale belly, the game finally sent a reminder of 'the fog has dissipated'.
"The fog cleared?"
"Yeah, the other party should leave, right?"
"have no idea…"
Everyone was discussing blankly, this kind of situation where the enemy is in the dark and they are in the light is too uncomfortable. They don't even know when the other party left. It is very likely that they have already withdrawn, leaving a group of them here to stare blankly for two days. Hours.
"Is this person really gone?" The demon was still suspicious.
"Leave." The Son of Heaven sighed secretly, the fog cleared, this time the other party should have really left.
However, just because the fog has just cleared, it means that the other party is very likely to have just left.
Of course, he didn't intend to chase after them again. Although the opponent was a little flattering in this battle, which caused their strength to not be displayed at all, it also proved that the opponent was not afraid of their crowd tactics when they were at sea.
"This man was a little louder than rainy, he cut down three of our ships, but hardly had any direct battles with our people. In a sense, this is also an expression of guilt." The devil said with a sneer.
"You can't say that, maybe the other party just doesn't want us to see the truth? Maybe it's deliberately making us have this idea, so as to underestimate the enemy..." said with a smile.
The Son of Heaven shook his head and said, "No matter what, tonight at least proved that the forbidden curse that this man used to push the tower can't be used casually. Otherwise, our ship should have been easily wiped out just now. It doesn’t require the opponent to slash with a knife.”
After finishing speaking, he clicked on the friend interface, found 'Captain Ghost', and sent a private chat.
【Son of Heaven: Don’t forget to attend the gathering on the 26th. 】
The other party replied quickly.
【Captain Ghost: This is exactly what I want to remind you. 】
【Son of Heaven: Goodbye. 】
【Captain Ghost: Goodbye. 】
Conversation ends here.
In the space of the lock cylinder, Mu You looked at the reminder on the phone and exhaled slightly.
Two hours ago, after destroying the opponent's ship, Mu You directly let the Ghost go on the road under the cover of fog, and went straight to the sea of evil spirits.
While he and the mermaid stayed near the Son of Heaven and the others, they continued to maintain the Heart of Mist until the Ghost retreated far enough away before being led away by the mermaid.
This is the first confrontation between him and the Son of Heaven, because the main body is basically in reality, and what is controlled is only the mind avatar in the game, so it is relatively restrained. Everyone did not really do their best, and it was more like a tentative feint.
As a result, he took advantage of a small advantage and destroyed three ships of the opponent in a row, but for a power like the divine right of kings, this loss is not too painful.
It's not impossible to continue fighting, but it's meaningless. In a situation where both sides can go offline at any time, no matter how many shots he makes, he can't hurt the opponent. It will only expose his own cards and strength more.
In addition, there is another more important reason: he can't afford physical exertion.
The operation of chopping down the boat just now consumed more than 50 points of Mu You's mobility.
"So, the Son of Heaven should have mastered four fragments, including one and nine..."
Mu You secretly analyzed the information obtained in this fight.
Tianzi has four pieces, two pieces in his hand, and Jack should have collected three pieces, so the nine pieces are all in place!
That is to say, the way to find the shards has been blocked. Next, he must grab a shard from the emperor or Jack to open the map.
After the game characters returned to the ghost ship, Mu You immediately took out something from the captain's room.
【You took out the 'Fate Compass' and imagined a location in your mind: the entrance to Dawn City. 】
【However, the needle of the destiny compass kept spinning and did not point in any direction. 】
【The instructions of the destiny compass cannot point out the place of illusory impressions, and more clear hints are needed to anchor the coordinates. 】
"Sure enough..."
Mu You sighed, the Compass of Destiny is not able to give instructions just by thinking of a place, it must be anchored by a precise name to give instructions, for example, only imagine an 'Emperor' or 'Mountain', the compass only It will keep turning in circles, because there are too many imperial capitals and mountains in the astral world, and more clear reminders must be given, such as 'the imperial capital of the Laner Empire', 'Misty Mountain', etc., anchoring to a clear location, Only the compass can give hints.
There are two entrances to Dawn City. If he wants the compass to work, he must know the specific location of one of the entrances. Once he is confused or ambiguous, and he is not sure, the compass will fail.
"It seems that we must grab the fragments from the emperor..."
Mu You sighed. If the compass is invalid, one and nine are necessities, at least one must be purchased.
At this time, a prompt came from the text.
【You have entered the sea of evil spirits. 】
【You see a pirate ship with a skull flag ahead. 】
【The pirate ship has spotted you, and is speeding up towards the Ghost, you choose...】
As soon as he entered the sea of evil spirits, he ran into someone else's boat immediately.
But this time it should be a real pirate.
Mu You didn't rush to choose, but first teleported back to Misty Mountain, put the Heart of Misty back to the tomb, then went to Phoenix City, and brought the Pandaren back to the Ghost.
In the next voyage in the sea of evil spirits, there will be more and more pirates encountered. The ghost needs to keep on going, but he can't keep an eye on it all the time, so he can only entrust the giant panda to help him guard the ship up.
【You invite Pandaren Zhouyou to help you defend against incoming enemies. 】
【The pandaren looked at the pirate ship in front of them, saying that it would be a piece of cake. He can help you guard the Ghost, but the premise is that you must buy him a drink afterwards! 】
【You agreed to the pandaren's request, and promised the other party that when you get to Nax Island, you must buy it enough to drink! 】
【The pandaren laughed and jumped off the boat. The water surface was like the ground under its feet. The pandaren stepped on the water surface and easily approached the oncoming ship...】
【The bamboo stick fell, the wine mist rose on the pirate ship, the panda mouth spit fire, and the deck was immediately covered by raging flames...】
【The Ghost shortened the distance extremely quickly and directly rammed into the opponent's ship. 】
【Three hundred ghost crew members were possessed by their respective skeletons. In the form of skeleton soldiers, they rushed to the opponent's hull and fought with the pirates. 】
【At the same time, the bottom of the pirate ship seemed to be attacked by some kind of marine life. There were several holes under the ship, and the sea water poured in like jets of water...】
【The pirate ship is sinking...】
【You defeated the opponent's pirate ship, and the pirates abandoned their ship and fled. 】
【You ordered the ghost crew to search the pirate ship and got 3 barrels of pirate rum*, two ship cannons, some navigation tools, a lot of wood...】
The battle was over, and a bunch of miscellaneous spoils were found. The rum was accepted by the Pandaren, and the rest was confiscated as the property of the Ghost.
Mu You didn't participate in this battle, just wanted to see how the Ghost's combat effectiveness would be without him.
The result made him very satisfied. The group of pandas hurt against the sky, and the fighting power of the ghost crew is no worse than that of humans. The most important thing is that they are not afraid of death, and they fight very vigorously. In addition, there are mermaids responsible for making trouble underwater. To sum up, The combat power is quite good, and it must be enough to walk in this pirate field.
After confirming this point, Mu You quit the game and hurried to take a rest.
But he didn't sleep for long, and after only an hour, it was already dawn.
At six o'clock in the morning, Xiaoya and Lin Xue came to the pet shop early and brought a bunch of clothes and daily necessities for children.
These are all prepared for the little Lolita. Mu You was pulled up in sleepy eyes, and opened the backpack entrance for them.
"Boss, you can rest today, just leave the store to us!" Xiaoya saw the dark circles on Mu You's face, and knew that he must have not slept for several days.
"No, I'll just sit down for a while..." Mu You waved his hand.
He didn't feel sleepy after being woken up, not to mention that after the intelligence attribute is high, the need for sleep will be greatly reduced, so don't look at him staying up late for a long time, in fact, it doesn't have much impact on the body, just sit and meditate for a while, you can Rejuvenate.
At this time, the small room prepared for the little girl in the space has been repaired to look good. Not only has the area been enlarged, but it has also been raised to two floors. The storage, bedroom, bathroom and other spaces inside have also been rationalized. Divided out, it looks like an exquisite small bungalow.
Lin Xue made the little girl's bed and tidied her clothes in the house, while Xiaoya ran to shine the light of evolution on the animals.
After Mu You wandered around in the backpack for a while, Xiaoya suddenly called him over.
"Boss, the little spider seems to be evolving!"
"oh?"
Mu You hurriedly followed Xiaoya to take a look.
Sure enough, the little spider's eight spider legs curled up into a ball, and the surface of its body was once again covered with a layer of crystal clear substance, which degenerated into an eggshell, the same as when it evolved last time.
When Mu You came over, there were already some cracks on the crystal shell, and the little spider in the shell was trembling slightly, as if trying to break free from the shackles around it.
After bathing in the light of evolution for a few more minutes, the crystal shell finally made a crackling sound, and several cracks opened on the top of the shell, and then shattered in a continuous cracking sound.
At the same time, the body of the little spider inside the shell was also split from the back, opening a crack like a zipper. A moment later, a spider that was a size smaller burrowed out of the shed skin with great difficulty. From the head, to the spider body, to each spider leg.
After it was completely detached from the skin, a transparent shell was left on the spot, and the little spider weakly lay aside. After seeing Mu You in front of it, it propped up its eight legs and wobbled towards him. Walking over, it seemed like he wanted to climb onto his hand again.
Mu You hurried over to pick it up and sent it back to the light of evolution.
The whole body of a little spider that has just shed its shell is soft, even the carapace on its back is as soft as a sponge, and it takes a period of time to recover before it becomes hard again.
Mu You sent the little spider back to the light to continue to recover, and checked its attributes with the Omniscient Crystal by the way.
【The Gluttonous Demon Spider (Level 11) (Jumping Enhancement, Web Weaving Enhancement): The Gluttonous Demon Spider has enhanced its jumping ability and web weaving ability in its evolutionary form. Attack power 99-120, life value 10000, magic value 3000. Abilities: Cobweb, Venomous Bite, Devour, Bounce and Bullet, Weave Web. 】
Before, the little spider was already stuck at the bottleneck of evolution at level 10, but now it has finally completed its evolution and has reached level 11. Its attributes have been improved in an all-round way, and a new ability has also been added.
【Weaving Web: Consume energy to quickly weave a transparent spider web nearby. The Gluttonous Demon Spider can flash freely within the range of the spider web. The cooldown time is 0.5 seconds, and the recovery speed of life and mana is greatly increased. 】
The new ability of web-making, the little spider can teleport at will with a half-second cooling within the range of the web it has formed. In addition, its battery life has been greatly increased. It can be said that it only needs to be in the network it has formed. , the combat effectiveness can be increased several times.
As for the specific effect and how big the spider web can be woven, it needs to be tested after the little spider recovers.
Next, Mu You guarded the little spider and waited for it to recover.
And maybe good things come in pairs, just when Xiaoya’s light time was about to end today, the phoenix egg brought back by Mu You a few days ago also made a clicking sound, and a crack appeared on the top of the eggshell.
"Chirp!"
Accompanied by a chirp full of energy, a raging fire element suddenly burst out from the top of the shell, like a small volcano erupting, burning the surrounding grass to ashes. Shao's fur was scorched, and they all screamed and fled in all directions.
