Chapter 249 Days at the Lookout
The scope of activities was limited to the observation deck, so Yang Yi, Suna and the two could do much less.

But there are still benefits.
Being so high up, they didn't have to worry about the coming darkness for quite some time.
This darkness spreads very slowly vertically, but very quickly horizontally.
When the darkness spread across the deck, it took less than a minute to invade the Nightmare Star's deck.
They then began to climb up the mast, slowing down to three centimeters per hour.
The height of the mast is close to 30 meters. As long as the spread of darkness does not accelerate, there will be no problem at all for a few months.
Yang Yi tried to command the ancient bones' arms and found that they were not affected by anything in the darkness, but they were helpless against the thick black mist.
The vines lost their response, and there were only some controllable vines on the sails and the observation deck.
The durability of the Nightmare Star has also been reduced a lot, reaching 9427/12000. The damage exceeds 2500 and cannot be repaired automatically.
"The durable damage to the hull should come from the vines, and the cabin is probably filled with darkness."
Yang Yi looked at the ship interface and speculated.
Judging from the composition ratio, the ratio of bones to vines is approximately 3:1.
The day before yesterday, when the cooldown of the watchtower skill ended, Yang Yi used it once and got a blank chart again with nothing in it.
But there is still one month left, and it cannot be all blank, so this sea will be too empty.
He switched to the sea map interface. The Nightmare Star had sailed to the right for more than 5,000 nautical miles, which was almost equivalent to crossing the Pacific Ocean.
But during the voyage, Yang Yi didn't even encounter a passing ship, and the island disappeared.
Coupled with the information learned from other players, it can be speculated that this world is not only ridiculously large, but also has a high probability of not having a continent, and islands are also quite rare.
So far, not many players have found the island, only a very small proportion.
And in such a world, it is not surprising that there are a large number of uninhabited islands, because not all islands are suitable for habitation.
Fresh water alone has eliminated most of the islands.
But even so, there was still a lucky person who sneaked into the indigenous settlement and provided a lot of humanistic intelligence, including photos.
From the picture, it seems to be a quite primitive tribe, with primitive clothing and houses made of earth and stone.
But even for such a tribe, it has a rather exquisite church, which even has a statue of the goddess inside.
When Yang Yi saw the photo, he knew it was the statue of the goddess of glory. She had no arms, but she stood there as if she was embracing her.
Through these players, Yang Yi also learned about changes in exposure.
On islands with human settlements, the price will rise by 10% a day, but if it is an uninhabited island, it will be within the range of 2% to 5%.
Only one person has entered an indigenous settlement so far, so this data is not very valuable for reference.
Yang Yi and Su Na summarized and exchanged information gathered in the past few days.
Later, at Yang Yi's suggestion, Su Na began to exercise to improve her attribute experience because there was nothing else to do.
Just keep your energy level above the safety line of 60, and take a rest when you feel tired.
Later, Su Na even joined the ranks of fishermen.
You can actually fish at the lookout. After all, the fishing line is long enough. You just need to throw the hook farther and land it in the sea.
Even if you don't throw it well, you can still let the ancient skeleton arm below do it for you.
The two of them lived like this in the narrow observation deck, taking turns to rest, sometimes fishing, and sometimes exercising to improve their attributes. They had a special sense of tacit understanding.
Yang Yi had packed up all the food and brought it up in advance, so there was no need to worry about the food being fresh.
After two days of this, the watchtower's skills were about to end their cooldown.
Wait until two o'clock in the morning to launch and scan the surrounding sea area within 1,800 nautical miles.
In total, this should be the seventh day since they were transported to the Sunless Sea, and if counted from the transaction, it would be the sixth day.
Tomorrow at most, the things Yang Yi bought should arrive.
If it is delivered today, players will receive a system reminder before 23:00 at night to avoid leaving items behind.
...........
[Your transaction items will be delivered at 23:00, please pay attention to receive them]
At 22:50, Yang Yi suddenly received a system reminder.
It seems that the delay in transactions between him and other players is six days, which is less than the maximum seven days.
He turned to look at Suna, who was fishing.
In the past two days, she didn't catch any fish, but she caught a lot of strange monsters, including three drowned ones and five skeleton monsters.
Feeling the pull, all these strange monsters climbed onto the deck, and were then killed by Yang Yi with a flintlock gun on the deck. As a result, the deck was littered with corpses of strange monsters, all without heads.
There is also a larger skeleton monster, whose body is covered with ferocious bone barbs, and has four arms of different lengths from different creatures.
This should be a more advanced skeleton monster. It took five shots to die, which is considered relatively powerful.
Those bony barbs can shoot out and even regenerate, and there are several stuck on the deck.
"Stop fishing. I'm going to go down there. The things I bought have arrived."
Yang Yi said to Su Na.
The latter seemed to be obsessed with fishing, and even caught more fish than Yang Yi.
But after hearing Yang Yi's words, she nodded, put away the fishing rod, took out the salt bow, and bent the bow to nock an arrow.
Yang Yi took out a longevity lighter and helped her light it.
The front end of the arrow was wrapped in a cloth soaked in grease, which was used to ignite the several bonfires under the mast.
Eight arrows hit the target in a row, just in time to ignite all the bonfires that Yang Yi had set up in the ship's atrium.
A huge fire instantly ignited in the atrium of the Nightmare Star, and the high temperature made the air distorted.
Affected by this, the darkness near the bonfire was completely evacuated, and the deck under the mast became clearly visible.
This was the countermeasure that Yang Yi and Su Na had discussed.
Use fire to temporarily open a safe path to the bow, and come back after taking the things.
As for the person who went down, it was naturally Yang Yi.
At 22:55, when there were still 5 minutes left before the system items were delivered, Yang Yi had already put on the foot armor and leg armor of the Redeemer Armor.
If he accidentally came into contact with darkness, this armor might provide some protection.
Then he transformed into a werewolf, took off his clothes, and wet his wolf hair with the seawater in his stomach to prepare for the next action.
At 22:58, Yang Yi threw four Molotov cocktails made of fine coke on the right side of the ship, creating a flame path on the deck that led directly to the capsule machine.
"I'm going."
He said to Suna, then jumped into the bonfire below.
The bonfires here were deliberately set very densely, and with the high temperature brought by the grease, the air temperature was probably close to 100 degrees.
If you don't wet your clothes to enter, you may get burned. If you get too close, you may even be ignited directly.
Yang Yi deliberately wet his wolf hair, so he didn't get burned.
And in the high temperature environment, he didn't feel uncomfortable, but felt very warm.
He aimed at the direction and ran to the bow.
