Chapter 1253 The Moon Beast's Conspiracy

This is...

Qin Zhibo slowly propped himself up from the floor and looked around vigilantly.

This was a dark and empty space. Judging from the slippery and slightly shaking floor, he was still on the black sailboat, and should be in a cabin on a certain floor.

But there was no hammock, wooden box, or anyone else...

No.

There were people.

In the darkness, two human figures were holding thick wooden sticks sideways.

The sticks were not close to Qin Zhibo, but were turning in circles with a certain rhythm.

Then, the darkness in his eyes gradually faded, and two hunched figures holding wooden sticks and shaking appeared.

Those were actually two skeletons!

The hunched and broken skeletons held huge oars in both hands, shaking in circles.

The clothes on the skeleton had decayed into rags hanging on the ribs and joints, and the bones all over the body made a terrible "crunching" sound.

Crunch, crunch.

For a while, countless such sounds rang out in the cabin.

Qin Zhibo looked closely and found that there were a large number of skeletons lined up on the left and right sides of the cabin.

They were in groups of two or more, slowly but tirelessly shaking the oars.

Most of these skeletons can be seen as human features, but some have obvious animal features, such as horns on their heads and hooves under their feet.

Hey!

Is this the second cabin that cannot be reached?

But how did I get here?

Qin Zhibo remembered that he was just lying on the hammock, and he had just closed his eyes for a short time, and he suddenly appeared here before his consciousness fell asleep.

Is this ship blessed by magic?

It should be these skeletons that provide power for this ship.

No wonder this ship can sail day and night, it turns out that the crew is not human at all...

No, I should have thought of this possibility a long time ago.

After all, this is a dreamland, and anything that violates the physical rules of the real world can happen here.

Just as Qin Zhibo's brain was analyzing the current situation, the skeleton monsters who were rowing suddenly tilted their heads and made short creaking sounds.

Although they didn't even have eyes, it can be seen that all the skeleton monsters were looking at the only living person in the cabin!

Qin Zhibo was shocked. He didn't want to announce something!

Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best strategy!

The difference in numbers was too big, so Qin Zhibo subconsciously chose to turn around and run away.

But as soon as he turned around, he found that the skeleton monsters at the end of the cabin had put down their oars one after another and moved towards this side step by step.

The same was true on both sides and the bow.

The skeleton monsters came from all directions of the cabin, like zombies without self-awareness.

In this terrible sea of ​​skeleton monsters, Qin Zhibo, standing in the middle, seemed weak and had no chance of fighting back.

Gradually, his figure was submerged in the sea of ​​monsters.

Creak, creak...

Countless gray skeletons surged like goldfish surrounded by bait in a pond.

At this moment, a sharp cold light flashed among the skeletons.

Whoosh!

Along with this sharp sound of breaking through the air, the bodies of several skeleton monsters were cut into two pieces by a knife.

Then, six cold lights flashed almost at the same time.

The heads of more than a dozen skeleton monsters flew outward in a parabolic shape, blooming among the skeleton monsters like flowers.

In the middle of the stamens was Qin Zhibo.

And what he held in his hand was the only prop that could be used in the dreamland - [Sword of the Oath Keeper]

"Roar--!"

Qin Zhibo let out a long roar, and with the help of the roar, his arms burst out with his upper limit of muscle strength.

The next second, he swung the big sword in his hand and spun among the skeleton monsters.

The easiest way to deal with this kind of little intelligence, slow movements, and relatively fragile body is to spin a small gyroscope without thinking.

The sharp sword blade encountered almost no resistance at the moment it touched the skeleton monster, and chopped the extremely rotten bones into pieces.

A large number of bone fragments fell to the floor with a crackling sound.

Qin Zhibo seemed to have entered the Wushuang mode, "mowing the grass" crazily among the skeleton monsters.

After mowing for about 20 seconds, Qin Zhibo, who felt dizzy, could no longer bear it and stopped.

He inserted the Oath Keeper into the floor, leaned on the hilt and the sword guard, and lowered his center of gravity by bending his body down, so as to maintain his balance.

Is this almost done?

Qin Zhibo squinted his eyes, panting, and observing the surroundings in a shaking vision.

Now, most of the skeleton monsters have been slaughtered.

But there are still a few skeleton monsters standing a little further away, stepping on the bone fragments of their companions fearlessly and walking towards them.

"Damn..."

"Just chop them all off..."

Qin Zhibo stood up again, resisting the dizziness.

Although the passengers will need to paddle themselves for the rest of the journey after cutting off these power sources, it is fortunate that there is less than a day's journey left to the land.

Qin Zhibo took a shaky step and was about to approach the last few skeleton monsters in the cabin when he suddenly heard a strange sound on the ground.

Looking down, he saw that the bodies of the chopped skeleton monsters were actually moving!

The bones seemed to be electrocuted, shaking wildly on the floor and gathering into small piles of bones.

After a while, the bones were pieced together into skeleton monsters again.

However, the reassembled skeleton monster looked very deformed, with leg bones in the place of arms and a head in the place of stomach... It was a completely random patchwork.

But even so, it did not affect the skeleton monsters from launching another attack.

The skeleton monster closest to Qin Zhibo suddenly attacked, and five thin and long fingers grabbed the blade of the Oath Keeper Sword.

Because it was made of bones, the sharpness of the blade could not cut bones by itself without a certain amount of strength.

But Qin Zhibo twisted the sword with both hands and broke the five fingers of the skeleton monster.

The palm that was finally pieced together was broken again.

But the skeleton monster was not discouraged, or it didn't know what it meant to be discouraged by failure.

It stretched its arm to the floor, and the five broken fingers trembled and reattached to the palm.

Can't be killed?

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly, a little surprised that these skeleton monsters, which were obviously evil creatures, could not be killed by the Oath Keeper Sword.

In this case, these skeletons are likely to be controlled by a certain existence.

If the controller is still alive, the skeletons can naturally "regenerate" infinitely.

But who is the controller?

Where?

While Qin Zhibo was thinking, several skeletons that had reassembled their bodies pounced on him again.

Qin Zhibo quickly retreated and avoided the slow movements of the skeletons.

After watching these skeletons for a second, he decided not to entangle with these monsters, which would only waste his physical strength in vain.

The only way now is to kill the existence that controls the skeletons.

This controller is most likely hidden in this layer...

Qin Zhibo ignored the skeletons behind him and ran directly to the end of the cabin.

Since the skeletons were attracted to the middle, there were no living creatures at both ends of the cabin, only oars extending from the hole to the outside of the hull.

With the moonlight seeping in from the hole, Qin Zhibo ran while observing the surroundings and the ceiling, paying attention to whether there was anything different.

If there is something controlling these skeletons, then it is most likely not a human.

There is magic in this world, and humans can learn magic.

But if it is a human magician, he should not do such an ambiguous thing.

If it is not a human, it is very likely to be some kind of intelligent creature...

Qin Zhibo was running, but was blocked by a straight wall in front of him.

Judging from the disappearing oars and holes on both sides, this seems to be the end of the cabin, and there is no way ahead.

But in Qin Zhibo's perception, there should be some space there.

From a bird's-eye view, the hull structure of this black sailing ship is relatively slender and shuttle-shaped.

If the front and rear ends of the internal cabin are flat walls, then there must be a hidden space in a triangular area.

It's like a secret room in the real world, but Qin Zhibo in this world can't see the investigation point.

What's inside the wall in front?

Qin Zhibo stood in place, not daring to move forward rashly, nor could he retreat.

Behind him was a group of invincible skeleton monsters, and retreating would only keep being consumed.

The wall in front of him was an unknown risk. If there was something behind the wall, it might have noticed him and was waiting for him to approach.

That thing could attack him at any time.

But even if he stood here and did nothing, the skeleton monster would catch up with him later.

At this moment, the wall in front of Qin Zhibo suddenly moved.

Three cracks suddenly appeared in the middle of the huge straight wall.

Then, another crack appeared in the middle of the rectangle formed by the three cracks. The door made of the wall slowly opened from the middle.

In the gradually opening door, a huge shadow came out of the darkness.

This is not a human.

Definitely not a human.

With the meager moonlight in the cabin, Qin Zhibo vaguely saw the image of this monster.

This is a fat and huge individual, and its body shape is somewhat like a distant relative of a toad.

Its skin surface is grayish white, and it also has a liquid sheen. Every step it moves will make that kind of sticky and disgusting sound.

But this is not the most incredible thing.

When Qin Zhibo looked up, he noticed that this monster, which was almost as tall as the cabin ceiling, had no head.

Without a head, there were no facial features to refer to.

Where the head should have been, there was a blunt snout with a vague outline at the front, with a bunch of short, trembling pink tentacles.

This was...

Qin Zhibo widened his eyes, somewhat unable to believe the scene in front of him.

In this cabin that seemed to be operated by human civilization, there was such a terrible monster!

Compared with the ugliness of Mi-Go, this thing was definitely not much better.

Qin Zhibo was looking at the monster's body, and suddenly remembered that on the way from Usa to Dilas-Lin Port, he had heard the merchants in Usa say that they should be careful of a race.

There is a race in the Dreamland called Moon Beast.

As the name suggests, this race lives on the moon.

Unlike some other races that are either secluded or far away from the human world, the Moon Beast race lives on the moon, but they like to deal with humans very much.

But if you think that the Moon Beast is a very friendly race, you are wrong.

Their real purpose in dealing with humans is to take humans to the moon as slaves.

Slaving other races is the evil hobby of the moon beasts, and humans are the most favored slaves.

They will use various methods to bring slaves back to the moon for a lot of torture and torture as a pastime, seeking spiritual entertainment in the painful wailing of other races.

The Usa merchant told Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito to stay away from the gray and toad-like creatures as much as possible.

It's just that it's hard to see the moon beasts coming out openly in human towns now.

Because since the moon beasts' despicable and despicable hobbies were gradually discovered by people, they turned to underground work.

They began to hire human agents, disguised as ships to various places, and secretly carried out the business of selling slaves.

They reached an agreement with some tribes in the northern continent to use rubies in exchange for cheap and reliable black slaves on board.

Be careful of the moon beasts and pray that you won't meet them.

Otherwise, it will be worse than death.

It was not until then that Qin Zhibo realized that he had boarded the moon beast's pirate ship from the beginning.

I knocked out a drunk at the dock of Dilas-Lin and got the pass from him.

The slave that the Moon Beast was targeting was the drunk.

The three people with black turbans that I asked in the bar later should be the human agents of the Moon Beast.

It turned out that since then, I had accidentally been involved in the trap set by the Moon Beast...

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo shuddered.

This luck is really bad.

I didn't expect that I would board this pirate ship instead of a drunkard.

But the good news is that now that the conspiracy of the Moon Beast has been discovered, it is not too late as long as we don't reach the moon.

On the contrary, this Moon Beast has some bad luck, because I just need the blood of a spiritual creature to complete the Fantasy World Step Spirit Ascension.

As long as I defeat the one in front of me...

Qin Zhibo's eyes quickly calmed down, holding the sword with both hands to make a defensive posture, while carefully observing the behemoth in front of him.

Although in terms of size, the Moon Beast has an absolute advantage over humans.

But fortunately, this is a relatively narrow cabin, and the larger size is not convenient, so the Moon Beast's advantage becomes a disadvantage.

In addition, such a fat body makes it easy for his Oath-Keeping Sword to hit it.

As for the Moon Beast's means of attack...

Just as Qin Zhibo was making a plan for the next attack, the Moon Beast blocking the center of the cabin suddenly changed its size.

The gray-white body that was originally like a small mountain suddenly began to shrink, and even the wrinkles on the skin shrank suddenly.

Within ten seconds, the Moon Beast's body shrank to almost the same size as Qin Zhibo.

It stretched its hand into the darkness behind it, as if groping for something.

The next moment, a golden spear suddenly stabbed at Qin Zhibo!
