Chapter 65 Ghost Fleet

"What? Shen La?"

King Chuang nodded firmly and said: "I'm sure I hit it at that time. It shouldn't be here. There must be something wrong with it!"

"Let's take a closer look."

Start the speedboat and slowly go deeper into the building. There is a huge body of water inside, which is larger than the port of Essinger. Unlike the outside, there is a roof here. The waters here are filled with various warships parked one after another. Not only are they large in number, but they also have various models.

"This ship seems to be my Goddess!" Hongyue suddenly discovered a familiar battleship.

I quickly maneuvered the speedboat to move over. "Are you sure it's this one?"

Hongyue pointed to the side of the ship: "The name is still on it!"

Sure enough, I also saw the ship's name on the side of the bow. "Is this ship used by the Goddess Alliance before it was merged?"

Hongyue nodded. "Yes, this is my former flagship. But it has been sunk by the Japanese. How did it get here?"

I turned around and asked Misty sitting behind me. "Why is the power you are talking about our own ship?"

"These are no longer your ships. This is the 'confused' fleet, a fleet composed of ghost ships that have evolved from sunken ships. All the warships here are ships that once really existed and were sunk. Every Each one has its own original name and ownership, but now they are all ghost ships."

Lin Yue, who came with us, asked: "If all the sunken ships come here, aren't there a lot of ships here?"

Wu corrected: "Not all sunken ships will come here. First of all, these ships must be big enough. You can see that there are no very small ships here. Secondly, the ships here must be warships. Merchant ships generally will not appear here. . But if it is an armed merchant ship, it is not necessarily the case. Any ship that meets the above conditions may appear here, but it is not necessarily the case. This thing is very random. Every battleship may appear here when it sinks. Ghost ships, but not every ship will become a ghost ship. After all, this place is only so big, and if the sunken ship turns into a ghost ship, it won’t fit here.”

It seems that this is a place that randomly converts sunken battleships into ghost ships. Its function is similar to the skeleton conversion field of the unique building in the dark city. The skeleton conversion field can turn any creature into an undead creature in the form of a skeleton. Essinger originally planned to build one, but there was no drawing! This thing here should be the ghost ship conversion field. Looking at the number of warships here, it is close to 500. Based on this quantity and a rough estimate of the number of large warships produced around the world so far, we can conclude that the actual conversion probability here may be less than three percent. There are not many battleships that can meet the conversion standards here, and with such a low conversion rate, it may be difficult to add more in the future.

"This...isn't this the Bi Ling?" King Chuang suddenly discovered the new continent.

Upon hearing Biling's name, Hongyue and I quickly leaned over. Although the Bi Ling has been crashed, it was once the flagship of our fleet and has always performed outstandingly. The naval personnel of our guild still miss this battleship very much, but it actually appeared here and turned into a ghost ship. This news is indeed somewhat explosive.

When we gathered next to the battleship, I was sure it was the Biling. After all, it is the battleship I have commanded for the longest time. How could I not recognize it? I suppressed the excitement in my heart and drove the two-person speedboat slowly towards the Bi Ling.

He carefully looked at the entire battleship up and down. The Biling, which had become a ghost ship, looked quite dilapidated, and the wood on the deck and sides seemed to be severely rotted. The rear one of the three mainmasts on the ship actually fell down, and it was leaning against the middle mast. The sea serpent skin sail that was originally used has now been turned into a few rags, and where the flag was originally hung, there is now an equally tattered piece of cloth. Because there is no wind inside the building, the rag flags are put together so that the flags cannot be seen.

"Why has the bow of the ship changed?" Hongyue suddenly noticed something different about the bow of the ship.

I immediately looked at the location of the bow statue. Originally, the Biling used a Chinese totem dragon statue, but now there was a very strange creature placed there. "What is this?" I didn't recognize it.

Hong Yue said in confusion: "It looks like a unicorn." King Chuang and Sun Yan also supported this statement.

Lin Yuedao: "It doesn't seem to be a unicorn. The Chinese unicorn is auspicious. Although the shape is majestic, it doesn't have much of a ferocious feel. This thing is uncomfortable no matter how you look at it. It feels like an evil creature in Europe."

These players are somewhat lacking in knowledge, and they can't figure out what it is even after working on it for a long time. Even Ling and Phantom said they didn't know it, but Phantom said this thing was indeed a Chinese creature. Finally, I had to call out the little dragon girl. If this thing is really something in Chinese mythology, then the little dragon girl must know what it is.

Xiao Longnu's reaction was exaggerated when she saw that thing. She seemed to dislike it very much.

"Do you know this thing?" I asked Xiao Longnu.

"This should be the evil beast Black Kirin that guards the eighteenth level of hell."

"Black unicorn?" Lin Yue asked, "Are there any black unicorns?"

Xiao Longnu looked at the bow statue and said: "Usually unicorns are colorful, with white, gold, green and red as the main colors. Among them, there are more white and gold. Generally These two colors symbolize auspiciousness and happiness. The red unicorn symbolizes prosperity and harvest, and the green unicorn represents joy and happiness. Although the main colors are these four, unicorns generally do not have Pure colors are all with two main colors mixed with other colors. Single-color unicorns are very rare, and most unicorns have at least 6 to 13 colors. . Contrary to our dragon, the simpler the color of the unicorn, the more powerful it is. The three-color unicorn basically already has the strength that the gods have a headache, and the double-color unicorn is even more powerful. .As for this single-color unicorn, as far as I know, there has only been one."

Hongyue pointed to the bow of the ship: "Is that the black one?"

"Yes." Xiao Longnu confirmed everyone's guess. "The emergence of single-color unicorns should have been a good thing. After all, unicorns are very kind and get along well with most creatures, and they are very compassionate and often bring many benefits to everyone. Basically, there is nothing Creatures will hate Qilin. But." Xiao Longnu emphasized her tone. "Black is an unlucky color and generally symbolizes death, disease, and decline. Therefore, this little unicorn was criticized as soon as it was born. Many forces thought that he should be killed while he was still young. In the past, this was never the case. There has never been a single-color unicorn, and no one knows how powerful it will be. It would be fine if it were just a golden or red one, but it happens to be black."

"He was killed and exiled to the eighteenth level of hell just because of his bad looks?" Lin Yue guessed.

Xiao Longnu said: "Looks alone won't do anything to him, because there once appeared a three-color unicorn with one-third of its body black, and it turned out to be very kind, without any misfortunes. So simply being black will at best make others uncomfortable, and no one will really do anything to him."

"Then how did he get to the eighteenth level of hell?"

"It's because of his horns and teeth. As I just said, Kirin is a kind animal. Although it has teeth, they are all flat and there are no canines at all."

"Does that mean Qilin doesn't eat meat?" I asked.

Xiao Longnu nodded: "Not only are the teeth flat, but his antlers are also similar. Although the unicorn's antlers are very large, they are wrapped in a thick layer of meat pads like antlers. The entire antlers are blunt and edgeless, with no sharp edges at all. Lethality.”

Lin Yue whispered: "They are indeed kind creatures."

Xiao Longnu continued: "That's the problem. Everyone thinks that the horns covered with flesh pads and the flat teeth are signs of Qilin's kindness, and so far, the thicker the flesh pads, the kinder the Qilin is. But this The teeth of the black unicorn are like our divine dragons. They are all barbed fangs, and they are also very big. What's worse is that his horns not only have no pads, but are as sharp as swords. These characteristics are in his It appeared one month after he was born, which shocked everyone at the time. No one had ever seen such a powerful horn. And when he was six months old, everyone discovered that his claws had grown outside of his flesh. . The claws of other unicorns can be retracted like cat claws, but his claws are sharp and long and cannot be retracted."

"That means there's a freak out there among the unicorns."

"Absolutely." Xiao Longnu nodded again. "Everyone was panicked and thought it was a sign of a catastrophe. Later, some gods proposed to kill Black Qilin, but some gods objected. The two sides were in a stalemate, and finally decided to leave him to guard the eighteenth level of hell. Hell actually only has seventeenth level. , the 18th floor and the 17th floor are not connected. The 18th floor is a one-way space, you can only enter but not get out. No matter who enters, they can’t even think about getting out. That’s why they will be thrown into the 18th floor of hell and never be able to ascend. The Black Qilin is said to have been sent to guard the Eighteenth Level of Hell, but in fact it is tantamount to being permanently banished."

I concluded: "Does this mean that this black unicorn is the most evil and unlucky thing?"

Xiao Longnu said: "Generally, I think so."

"Then what does the equipment on the ship mean?" Sun Yan asked a very silly question.

I said: "This means that these ships are the most unlucky things like the black unicorn, and whoever touches them will be unlucky."

Hongyue smiled and said: "That's just right, it matches you well."

"What are you insinuating?"

"Guess." Hongyue smiled and maneuvered her speedboat to move closer to the Bi Ling, and we followed suit.

Lin Yue wanted to go up to the battleship to have a look, so she leaned next to the anchor chain and wanted to climb up along the anchor chain. When the speedboat reached the anchor chain, Lin Yue jumped on it. Wu, who was sitting behind my speedboat, quickly shouted: "Don't...!" It was a pity that it was too late! Lin Yue had already jumped out, but when she touched the anchor chain and was about to grab it, she suddenly found that the anchor chain was impossible to grasp. With a pop, Lin Yue fell into the water awkwardly, splashing water all over our heads and faces.

We all realized something was wrong. Sun Yan drove the speedboat over to pick up Lin Yue, while Chuang Wang parked the boat next to the anchor chain. He reached out and tentatively fished it out a few times, but his hand easily passed through the anchor chain. "This is an illusion!" King Chuang said to us.

I turned on Xing Tong's ability to break illusions, and what I saw was a battleship floating there, emitting black gas. Being able to see the entity means it is not an illusion, but it is indeed impossible to touch it!

Wu explained: "The ghost ship has no entity, so it cannot be 'touched'."

"Then this boat can't carry people?"

"It can't contain anything except ghosts. Because it has no physical body and can't bear the weight."

"No wonder it's called a ghost ship!" Lin Yue climbed out of the water like a drowned rat.

A question suddenly occurred to me. "Fog, are these warships not afraid of cannonballs if they have no body?"

"It depends on what kind of cannon. Artillery, ballistae, trebuchets, and ramming angles that use physical damage can't hurt the ghost ship. It has no entity anyway, so it is completely immune to physical attacks. But magic crystal cannons, spell cannons, etc. All magic weapons can damage the ghost ship."

"What about the weapons? Where's the power? Where's the crew? Where's the supplies? If this thing doesn't have an entity, a lot of things can't be realized, right?" King Chuang's question was much more professional.

Wu replied: "The crew of the ghost ship must all use ghosts, as long as they are undead creatures without entities. For example, ghosts, high-level lichs, spirit bodies, spiritual bodies, etc., as long as they have no entities. In terms of power, In fact, it is all a show. The sails and thrusters are just decorations, and the movement of the ship relies on the thoughts of the undead rather than the thrusters. The ghost ships are very fast, and you also saw the speed of the Treasure when they came here."

"That's right."

"It's easier to supply. The ghost ship doesn't need supplies at all and can continue sailing. As for the weapons! We use the undead cannon, which is pretty powerful. It can produce magical impact on the target, which is equivalent to the principle of a magic crystal cannon. It’s just much less powerful.”

I crossed my fingers and said: "That means that the ghost ship uses ghost driving, ignores physical damage, has a very high speed, has the firepower and range of an ordinary warship, and does not require supplies or power. I am right, right? ?”

"That's right. Another thing is that we still have the protection of the fog of confusion."

"Is the Treasure Ship considered a ghost ship?"

"The Treasure is a ghost ship, not a ghost ship, and its attributes are roughly the same. However, the ghost ship has an entity, while the ghost ship does not. This is the main difference."

Although these ghost ships are not particularly powerful, their properties are very special and are very suitable for some special tasks. For example, what we need to do right away is to intercept the transactions between the Japanese and the Great White Sharks. I think the Japanese don't have much that is suitable for dealing with ghost ships. At that time, they will just use heavy fog to disrupt their fleet, and then we will move up and clear out their ships one by one, and finally set fire to them. ……Hey Hey……

Look at the time, it's almost 4 o'clock, and there are still 4 hours left before the Japanese trading time. I immediately said: "Are there ghosts here now? I want these battleships to join the battle immediately."

Wu Wu was a little confused: "There are many ghosts here now, but...!"

"but what?"

"But they are all suppressed under the seal, and their consciousness has been confused. It will probably take a long time for these ghosts to regain their fighting power."

"Take us to see it first."

"Oh well!"

Following the fog ashore, I found an open space with an obelisk erected through the ruins. The fog stopped. "Below here is a mass grave. The companions who were not captured at the time were slaughtered here. The Temple of Light knew that these people would definitely become unjust souls if they died unwillingly, so they built this magic array here to suppress the undead. This array It will gradually wear away the willpower of the innocent souls below, so even if they are released, they will be in a daze, and they must slowly absorb the power to return to normal."

Ling came over and said, "Are you sure there are the undead we need down there?"

Wu said firmly: "I'm sure."

Ling said: "Then dig it! I have a way to quickly restore the state of the undead. As a former goddess of darkness, this little problem is not a problem for me."

What a blessing. We actually forgot that Ling, a big shot, is also a goddess after all. She should be able to handle such a small thing. The next step is to destroy the seal. This is simple, and I am best at destroying it. He easily knocked down the obelisk with eternity and punched a dozen large and small holes in the ground. The magic circle cannot function as long as it is damaged even a little bit. Of course, I successfully stopped the operation of the seal by making this place full of ruins.

The next job is to dig. The ghosts are all sealed underground by a large amount of blessed silver and magic wax, and they cannot get out without getting some of these things. The work of digging holes still requires large creatures to come quickly. Several dragons except Lucky were summoned to help dig holes.

It only took us less than twenty minutes to dig out the blessing silver. As soon as we took away the blessed blessing silver, white bubbles began to appear below and stood up. These white bubbles are ghosts. They have lost their power due to being suppressed for a long time, and now they can no longer maintain their human form.
