Chapter 413 Passerby A

The interesting thing I found was not actually some creature under the water, but a huge iceberg. Of course, icebergs are not strange. What is strange is what is inside the iceberg.

This iceberg is very large, but there is an area with a relatively thin ice surface on one side of it. Through the iceberg with good transparency, you can see a faint shadow of a piece of wood inside the ice layer, and this No matter how you look at it, the shadow looks like the tail of a ship.

The iceberg ghost ship cannot be said to be rare in the game, but it is definitely not uncommon. This kind of thing is a dungeon mission issuer on the sea. As long as you find this kind of iceberg and get close to it, you can probably trigger the mission. Of course, the specific type of mission is uncertain, and some iceberg ghost ships are actually not mission issuers but pure wild monsters. If you encounter such a thing and regard it as a mission issuer, it will be miserable. . Although the ghost ship is not a modern warship, just because it is a ghost ship, it is almost immune to the weapons on modern warships. Therefore, if a modern warship encounters this kind of thing and cannot defeat the opponent at a long distance, it will be attacked if it is approached. very troublesome.

Although I don’t know whether this is a wild monster or a ghost ship like the mission publisher, it is the same to me anyway, because I am not a battleship and I am not afraid of the undead, so there is not much difference to me.

I quickly approached the iceberg, and then I summoned Xiaofeng. To get in touch with this ghost ship, at least the ice outside must be removed first. In order not to damage the hull, Xiaofeng could only let Xiaofeng get on.

It was just a layer of ice. Xiaofeng made a few holes in it, and then shook it to break the iceberg. After the broken iceberg separated from the hull, I successfully boarded the ghost ship.

Compared with ordinary ghost ships, this ghost ship seems to be quite large. A five-hundred-meter-long wooden battleship, this was definitely the dominant force on the sea in the age of sails, but now this thing is basically the same as a rag. When it encountered an armored battleship, it was blown into pieces with one shot.

The hull of this ghost ship is actually well preserved. Although the wood looks very old, there is no obvious damage, and I don’t know why it became a ghost ship.

Of course there won't be anything special on the deck. The ghost ship is not a large cruise ship and the ghosts are not tourists. Of course it’s impossible to queue up to sunbathe on the deck. The easiest way to find the ghosts on the ghost ship is to go down. The darker the place, the easier it is to see ghosts.

I easily went down to the first gun deck by following the hatch entrance on this deck. This place is specially placed for artillery. The height of the compartment is very short, only 1.7 meters. Even I need to bend down a little and lower my head to walk inside. However, this height was actually quite high in the era of sailing battleships. The height of the gun deck of real sailing battleships was often only 1.5 or 1.4 meters. That is to say, it is just a little higher than the cannon. Most people can only walk forward with their waists in a place like this.

After a brief look at this deck, in addition to a few cannons lying on the ground, there was a large hole in the gun emplacement on the left side of the ship. From that position, one could jump directly to the lower deck.

Except for the cannons. There are many gunpowder barrels and some iron eggs on this floor, but because it took too long, the gunpowder has long become a whole piece, and the iron cannonballs have completely rusted into a whole piece. Just pick up one to bring all the shells with you.

Since I didn't find anything of value, I had no choice but to continue downwards. There are still a lot of artillery on the lower deck. But the height of this floor is a little higher, about 1.9 meters. At least you can stand upright and walk here.

In addition to the artillery, there are some rooms on this deck, but they are not for people to live in. It is used to store weapons. The weapons cannot get wet, so they are placed in the middle of the cabin. The top will not leak and the bottom is slightly farther from the sea.

I walked around the various rooms on this floor, but found nothing. Feeling that this was not the solution, I simply released Sayoko and the king. "Help find this ghost in costume. I have something to ask."

"Understood." The king and Sayoko turned around and walked away, one to the left and the other to the right, and then pushed down the stairs step by step.

It's really strange to say. The ghosts on the ghost ship are generally very active. As long as someone boards the ship, a ghost will come over and say hello in less than five minutes. Of course, I don’t know whether it means hello or bite you.

However, the ghost on this ghost ship is definitely an otaku. We searched all the way from the open deck to the bottom cabin before finally discovering the ghost's movement.

The king pressed the handle of the knife carefully, and then pointed to a small hatch in the center of the bottom cabin. This lower part is not a regular cabin, but an irregularly shaped cabin that runs through the hull. That cabin is actually a place where ballast is placed, usually some cargo or something. Because the cabin on that level is irregular in shape, it is not easy to live in. It can only be used to store things that do not need to be moved frequently.

As soon as the king and Sayoko came down, they saw black smoke coming out of the cabin door. It was not a fire, but the death air was spreading, which meant that there was a gathering point of undead creatures below.

When I saw the king pointing over there, I walked over. In fact, I could also see the aura of death, so now I could see in front of my eyes that this exit was like a big chimney, and the black aura of death was constantly spitting out. gas.

Walking to the cabin door, Sayoko signaled with her eyes that the king used his weapon to carefully open the cover, and then slowly lifted it up. However, as soon as the king lifted the lid halfway, the lid was suddenly knocked open. A corpse with a ferocious face and red body suddenly jumped up from below, and pounced directly on the existence that seemed to have the most characteristics of a living being at the scene, which was me.

Of course, there is more than one monster down here, because after this monster came out, several more red things jumped out from below. I don’t know what these things should be called. They do look like humanoids, but they are full of muscles. They are obviously not mummies. But what’s more disgusting is that their skin is gone. You can directly see the red flesh, especially on their heads. Since there is no skin, lips no longer exist. You can directly see the red gums and ugly yellow teeth.

Not only are these things that can be regarded as living corpses very good in athletic ability, but they also don't seem to be monsters that have completely lost their intelligence, because they all have weapons in their hands. The person who came to me first was holding a short stick in his hand. The shape of this thing was very strange. It was less than one meter long and about the same thickness as a rolling pin. But there is a metal wrapping on one end.

This guy came out and rushed towards me, ready to throw me to the ground, but what he didn't expect was that I didn't panic and retreat due to the sudden attack, but stood calmly on the spot with my right hand, Then it accurately caught his neck as he fell, as if he had brought it up himself.

In fact, when this guy was flying in mid-air, I was already sure that he was a dwarf. He was about 1.6 meters tall, not as tall as me at all, so I grabbed his neck and lifted him in the air. Because the opponent's limbs were not touching the ground, he could not use his strength and could only struggle desperately. But the result was that it was completely unable to shake my power.

The living corpse that pounced on Sayoko held his forehead, and then pressed it to the ground with his backhand. The king was even more decisive and kicked back the living corpse that pounced on him. By the way, the living corpse behind was also knocked back below the deck, and the king closed the cover and stood up.

The zombies below desperately hit the cover above to get out. However, the total height of this deck is only 1.9 meters. Although the king is not very heavy, standing on this cover, he stretched out his hand to support the support beam of the upper deck. No matter how the living corpses below hit him, there was nothing he could do. Lift this cover.

After the two living corpses above were controlled, I raised the living corpse I was holding in front of me and took a look. The opponent's limbs are very sound, the body is plump, and there is no trace of dryness. If there is any difference from normal people, it is probably that he has no skin. Yes, these living corpses look like living people whose skin has been peeled off, and their eyes are red and bloodshot, looking very crazy.

After checking this guy over and over like he was playing with a rag doll, I determined that this guy was just a low-level living corpse. It was useless to catch this kind of thing, because the soul was not here, it was just a shell expelling quilt. It's just activated, there is no way to communicate at all. Although the other party can use weapons and seems to have some fighting skills, this is not because this living corpse is intelligent, but because its owner has this kind of control ability.

Yes, that's right. This is not a simple undead creature, but a puppet made, one of the summons of the Necromancer. Of course, this kind of summon is a more evil one. According to the introduction, living corpses are made by using living people, skinning them alive, causing them to lose their minds in pain, and finally go completely crazy. After that, the necromancer will do some processing to this skinless madman. In the process, his soul will slowly dissipate and merge into the body, turning the body into a living corpse without a soul but able to move. Then there are more production methods.

Some necromancers like to pour special venom on this kind of living corpse, and then make the living corpse covered with huge abscesses, and finally turn into an extremely disgusting thing that looks like a humanoid toad. This kind of venomous zombies are full of poison. You need to keep a distance when fighting, because their venom will corrode the player's equipment and the player themselves.

There are also some necromancers who like to perform surgeries on living corpses, and then add some things to them, such as carving magic circles on the bones, and then they can be protected by demon spirits. This kind of living corpse is different from the basic model, and its combat effectiveness will be greatly improved. However, because the production technology is relatively complicated, ordinary necromancers cannot turn it at all. Besides, the series of living zombies is already disgusting enough. Most players seldom practice this branch. Anyone who plays this branch without exception is a pervert.

Of course, the living corpse in front of us is only the most basic living corpse and has not yet undergone the second-level transformation, so its combat effectiveness is very poor.

Living zombies are countless times more flexible than ordinary zombies. Unlike those zombies that look like eighty or ninety-year-old old ladies, you can tell from their movements when they first attacked me. The movements of these living corpses are just like monkeys. They can jump up and down with more flexibility than the living ones. Even higher.

In addition to high soul level, living zombies also have the advantage of zombies, which is that they are resistant to beating. Skeleton soldiers also have a high soul level, but they are not resistant to beatings and will be finished in a few hits. Living corpses are different, they have flesh. Therefore, its resistance to attack is very good. Although it is not as good as zombies, it is much stronger than skeleton soldiers. In addition, living corpses can also eat. Because the organs are intact, the living corpse still retains some of its abilities during life, and can rely on devouring the corpse to heal itself. You can evolve if you eat more or if you eat advanced species. This is one of the reasons why living zombies are much more difficult to recruit than zombies and skeleton soldiers, but some people still like to practice them.

The living corpses we found now are all controlled by the necromancer. I found the control magic seal behind their heads. Pressing this thing with one hand, a ball of flame came to life, and the living corpse fell to the ground instantly, but it did not completely lose its vitality, it just lay there twitching. But there were no specific actions.

After looking at the living corpse on the ground, I walked over to Sayoko, then raised my hand to erase the mark of the living corpse.

Throwing the two living corpses aside, I signaled the king to open the lid, and then Xiaochun appeared next to me. A bright light instantly shone down from the entrance. The living corpses that were about to jump out were immediately illuminated. They felt as if they had been touched by sulfuric acid. The living corpses immediately began to scream and hide away. At the same time, large areas of blistering and ulceration began on the body.

Xiaochun didn't use sunlight. Living corpses are not afraid of the sun, although their combat effectiveness will be reduced in the sun. But it will not cause Shanghai, but the Holy Light is different. The strong holy light shone into this place and instantly caused the zombies below to jump. Although some wanted to rush forward, the zombies really did not dare to come out in front of the holy light. Even the master's mandatory orders are ineffective.

After watching the living corpses at the door dodge, Xiaochun maintained the holy light on the staff in his right hand and took out a transparent glass bottle with his left hand. It contained a viscous transparent liquid, which seemed to be very transparent. The same glue.

Seeing this thing, the king and Sayoko quickly stepped back. I nodded, and they quickly retreated behind me. I also spread my wings to block them a little.

When Xiaochun saw that I was ready, he threw the thing down, and then quickly closed the cover. There was no explosion, but an extremely strong holy light was suddenly projected from the various gaps in the ship deck below. It felt as if a tens of thousands of watts of bright light was installed in the cabin below.

Sayoko looked at the white light and couldn't help but shuddered: "I feel like my whole body is starting to itch!"

The king also twisted his body and said: "Xiao Chun, you better not use this next time, it's too uncomfortable!"

Xiaochun smiled and said, "I won't hurt you!"

"But it's so uncomfortable!" When Sayoko finished speaking, the light below had gone out. This thing could only last for a few seconds, but the screams below the deck had not stopped from just now until now. That was so loud that I was hoarse.

In fact, this thing is a holy light bomb, which is several times more powerful when dealing with undead creatures. Using this thing to bomb undead creatures is equivalent to using holy light to sunbathe undead creatures. You can imagine how terrifying this is for undead creatures. Something?

After the thing went out, I went over and opened the cover. The screams below were not over yet, but I still went down without hesitation. Such intensity of holy light. The undead creatures below have lost half of their lives even if they don't die.

Sure enough, when I came down, all the living corpses here were almost gone, and there were humanoid marks all over the ground, which were the traces left after the living corpses were cremated by the holy light.

There are a lot of sacks piled up in this cabin. I don’t know what they contain, but they don’t look like food, because if they are food, they shouldn’t be placed in such a place. After all, there is water below this place, and the food is there. It's easy to get mold here.

A lot of strange undead creature remains can be seen among these scattered bags. Some are obvious skeleton soldiers, and some should be zombies. However, the zombies have been burned into skeletons, so it is difficult to distinguish them. They can only be distinguished from the skeletons. Determine whether it turns black.

Behind these sacks, I also found a pile of sacks. It can be seen that it was made temporarily, because there were many living corpses and skeleton soldiers in front of it, as well as a set of armor scattered on the ground, which should be undead. knight.

The screams came from behind the pile of sacks, and there were obviously many undead creatures behind them. After I walked over and pulled it, it collapsed the place blocked by the sack. There were indeed many undead creatures gathering here behind, but these guys were rolling all over the ground now, and they were obviously burned badly.

I took a quick look, and there was a vampire closest to me who could no longer make a sound and could only tremble on the ground. Half of this guy's face was burned away. The other half of his face looked quite handsome, but now it was more miserable. However, undead creatures recover quickly. As long as they don't die, they can recover quickly.

This guy used to be a female vampire. This one is slightly better, with a large area of ​​burns on her body, but it seems that someone helped her block most of the holy light, so it is just a burn. If it was burned by ordinary flames, this may not be a problem at all to her, but because it is Burned by the Holy Light. So the pain is very intense.

There is an undead knight next to these two vampires. This guy is lying on the ground looking at me in a daze. It is obvious that part of the flexible fire has been burned away, and his mind is a little unclear.

Further inside, you can see two skinny, mummy-like guys, both wearing mage robes. At first glance, he looked like a necromancer. However, these two have already transformed themselves into lichs, which is why they were unlucky enough to be made this virtuous by the Holy Light.

In addition to these two necromancers, there is also the last undead creature here, but the strange thing is that I don't recognize this undead creature.

This is a very beautiful little girl. She looks to be about twelve years old and looks pretty. Just like a doll. Her face is relatively pale, and with her long silver-white hair, she looks very aristocratic. I thought it was a vampire at first, but if I looked closely I couldn't feel the power of blood magic. So this one shouldn't be a vampire.

Although I don’t know what it is, this little girl must be an undead creature, because there is a big hole burned through the back of her hand, and the muscles and tendons in this big hole are growing and healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. , the wound will be completely restored to its original state in at most ten seconds.

This terrifying healing speed is very similar to the characteristics of a vampire, but this little girl really has no vampire aura at all.

"Powerful undead monarch, please don't hurt us! We are willing to surrender!" The female vampire on the ground looked at me and begged. The burns on her face were healing rapidly. It was obvious that the power of the holy light had passed.

In fact, the holy light bomb Xiaochun just threw down has a similar effect on undead creatures as mustard tear gas, but instead of making the undead shed tears, it makes them feel extreme pain and temporarily suppresses their abilities. In other words, this thing will not actually kill undead creatures. Of course, this thing is a weapon after all, so it is still lethal, so low-level undead creatures such as living corpses will not work. It was burned clean immediately.

When the vampire looked at me and spoke, I knew she was lying, because her hands were reaching behind her back, obviously preparing to delay the time until the suppressive effect of the Holy Light passed before she started to fight back.

But am I that easy to deceive?

"If you don't want me to let her give you a baptism of holy light, you'd better put away your disguise." My words made the female vampire opposite quickly take out her hand and no longer dare to touch the weapon, because Xiaochun was already standing By my side, the king and Sayoko also came down.

A goddess of light has already defeated them to death, not to mention there are two powerful undead creatures whose rank is unclear. Of course, the more important thing is that I am the leader. The powerful dark magic makes These undead creatures all felt fear and awe from the bottom of their hearts.

"Have you calmed down? Okay, now I will ask and you will answer. Nod in understanding." The group of undead was very obedient.

I looked at those undead creatures with satisfaction, and then turned my gaze to the undead knight whose soul fire had just lit up again. "Now you answer my question. Why did you attack us before?"

"Aren't you from the Hayel Empire?" The other party did not answer the question, but asked instead.

Xiaochun whispered in my ear: "The Hayer Empire is a political and religious country established during the heyday of the Temple of Light. It is also called the Second Empire of Light."

After hearing Xiaochun's explanation, I roughly understood the current situation. These are all undead, and they think we are from the Bright Empire, that is to say, we are here to drive them all away, so they resist with all their might. However, there is something in this content that makes me think it doesn't make sense. This is the place where I clearly didn't summon Xiaochun before, but only brought the king and Sayoko down.

At that time, I only summoned the king and Sayoko because I knew it was a ghost ship. The king and Sayoko, who are both undead creatures, would not easily fight directly when they saw the undead creatures. But the other party actually regarded us as members of the Bright Empire. Since this Empire of Light is a country created by the Temple of Light, it is of course composed of those guys from the light department. I brought the king and Sayoko with me, this dark magic power. How do these guys connect us to the Empire of Light? The two are completely unrelated, right?

However, although I was doubtful, I didn't have much doubt, mainly because these words came from the mouth of the undead knight.

Undead knights are also knights, and the knight code actually works for them, but some of the terms will change. But generally speaking, the undead knights are also very disciplined beings. The undead knight generally would not do such things as deceiving people, so what the undead knight just said is actually very credible.

Since I didn't understand something, but I believed what the other person said, I asked my doubts directly.

The other party did not react much to this, but simply said: "The Empire of Light also has dark forces. In terms of lethality, we dark creatures are stronger, and those light entities are better at dealing with us. So they will keep some dark forces as thugs. These people are called the Fallen Angel Legion. They are all creatures of the dark forces, and they just serve the Temple of Light. For the dark forces in the country, the conditions they give are either Join this army or be burned at the stake.”

After hearing this explanation, I understood. "In this case, I don't care about your attacks on me before. After all, you have received the punishment you deserve now. However, if any of you still want to attack us, it won't be so simple next time. There are forces of light and forces of darkness under me. You should understand that people like me have many ways to deal with you."

The other party nodded hurriedly to express his disbelief.

He glanced at the undead creatures. I continued to ask: "What kind of dark creature is that little girl? Why do I feel like I have never seen such a creature? At first I thought it was a vampire, but it doesn't look like it if I look closely."

"Of course Her Royal Highness is not a vampire." One of the necromancers said excitedly: "Her Royal Highness is the reincarnation of the goddess, the true goddess of darkness."

"Dark Goddess?" I was stunned when I suddenly heard this. "Ling, have you completed your mission there?"

As soon as I started communicating, I found Ling appearing directly next to me. "On the way, I met a merchant ship returning to China. I asked them to help take the people back."

"I wonder why it's so fast." I said, turning to the little girl, and then said: "Ling, here is a child who is said to be the reincarnation of the goddess of darkness. Can you see if it is true?"

"So is there any reincarnation of the Dark Goddess?" Ling looked at the little girl in surprise, then frowned and said, "It seems like she really has dark power! Come here."

The little girl seemed a little afraid of strangers, and the undead wanted to protect her, but they finally gave up under my eyes. Their current strength is like scum in front of me. Resistance is tantamount to courting death, so they might as well be obedient.

After seeing this little girl coming, Ling started to check her, but Ling said it would take time, so I first asked the undead creatures about the previous battle.

"Come here first and ask you something."

"You say. As long as we know."

"There was a battle here before. There was a huge castle flying in the sky, and then it attacked a ship under the water." Because these are undead who are isolated from the world, you need to pay attention to the way you describe them when talking to them. "Did you see it?"

When he mentioned this, the undead knight seemed to get excited and said excitedly: "I saw it. The castle in the sky suddenly shot a beam of light towards the sea below, and then blew a big hole in the sea. There was a black hole below. The monster was blown out. After that, the castle in the sky disappeared."

I nodded and said, "It seems that you have indeed seen it. That thing flying in the sky is actually called Essinger Mobile Fortress. It is my city, a flying fortress."

"Your fortress?" The necromancer exclaimed: "You are really extremely powerful, and you have such things. If we had had such a flying fortress, we wouldn't have been so badly beaten by the Empire of Light."

"Let's get down to business." I continued: "The Essinger Mobile Fortress here shoots beams towards the sea to attack the black thing below. That is not actually a monster, but a boat. A boat that can dive underwater in one day."

"But won't the boat sink when it reaches the water?"

"Don't pay attention to this. Now you just need to know that this boat is very special. It will not sink under the water, and it can run very fast. You can get up again when needed."

"Oh, okay, we remember that."

"What I want to ask you now is, after my Essinger Mobile Fortress left, did that thing surface?"

"Yes, yes, yes," the undead knight said: "That thing passed right by us, but they didn't notice us and thought we were just an iceberg."

"You mean them?"

"Yes, there were many people on that thing. At first I thought the monster was a sea beast raised by humans. But now it seems that it is indeed a boat with many people on it."

I asked with some excitement: "Then do you know where that thing went after that?"

"I know." The undead knight spoke enthusiastically again. (To be continued ~^~)
