Chapter 170: Shipwreck Belt and Hidden Side Quests
The energy reaction of the battle initially came only from underground. Not long after, the sound of fighting could be heard from all over the ship.
Wu Chang led his men out and saw that a group of mummies had appeared on the ship at some point.
They were like mummies with their bandages removed. The blood in their bodies was completely drained, their skin was purple, and there was no moisture on their bodies, including their eyeballs, which had withered into dried meat.
They could not see, but they could sense the surroundings in other ways, accurately find the people on board, and attack them.
The mummies were skinny, but their movements were swift and powerful, and they were on the Song of the Sea. They seemed to be able to ignore gravity and run freely on the walls and ceilings.
A group of mummies poured out from all directions, running along different paths, and soon came around the people on board.
When Wu Chang came out, he saw five or six mummies running along the walls and ceiling in a snake-like manner, chasing after Li Yubin and his party.
Judging from the speed of action, the attributes of the mummies are not weaker than those of level 25 players, and in terms of single-player strength, they are not inferior to normal Qinglong.
At this moment, they have just entered the dungeon, and the players are in a semi-hostile relationship with each other, and no one wants to reveal too many cards.
The two players following Li Yubin are only fighting with fists and guns at this moment. Neither of them is agile players. At this moment, facing the mobile and flexible mummies, they can't gain the upper hand physically, and the guns can't penetrate the weathered skin of the mummies. They can only protect Li Yubin and fight and run.
On the other hand, Li Yubin's combat power is much stronger than the two players who hide their clumsiness.
At this moment, she tied her long hair into a ponytail with a hairband, holding a fire axe found in the corridor in her hand, and was breaking through the mummies.
Judging from the movements and accuracy, Li Yubin obviously has not practiced before. There is no pattern between the movements, and she swings the axe purely relying on physical strength.
The mummies were made of copper and iron, which was hard for players to break through. Under her fire axe, they were like a layer of inferior thin iron.
Once they were hit, the entire axe blade would be cut into their bodies.
If she had a few moves, even if she only had three axes, these mummies would not be enough for her to kill alone.
Wu Chang could feel that Li Yubin had an aura similar to that of the Azure Dragon. What surprised him even more was that as the battle went on, the amount and quality of the aura in Li Yubin's body rapidly approached that of the Azure Dragon.
Any NPC could fight so well. Is this the value of an A-level copy that is on the verge of losing control?
Wu Chang did not hesitate and signaled the Four Vajras and Jian Xing to go up and help.
Because of the ghost wall during the day, the New Universe Sect controlled 80% of the passengers on the ship. There were not many normal people left. Normal people like Li Yubin who had potential and combat power must be saved.
With the participation of Wu Chang, the battle quickly became one-sided. The players needed to hide their weaknesses, but the Four Vajras did not.
In less than a minute, several mummies had their heads smashed and were completely motionless.
Seeing that no more mummies appeared around, Wu Chang asked, "Where did these monsters come from?"
Seeing that he had just helped him out, Li Yubin gave Wu Chang a rare good face and said:
"We went to the cabin to investigate what was driving the Song of the Sea just now. When we entered the cabin, we saw these mummies standing inside motionless. They sensed our breath, came alive, and attacked us."
The cabin.
Wu Chang approached and observed several mummies. The clothes on the mummies had been stained black by blood and dust, and their original appearance could not be seen.
He carefully identified them for a while before he saw that they were wearing crew uniforms.
Especially one of the mummies, it was different from the other mummies, and it had several broken teeth in the front row.
Driving the ship, the crew, the broken teeth and the mummies, all matched the first mate of the Song of the Sea seen in the resentment before.
Are the monsters that appeared on the ship all rebels who were forced to kill each other?
No.
Wu Chang shook his head. He did not feel a lot of mystical energy from the mummies, but when the initial battle took place, he felt a lot of mystical energy from the lower cabin.
"Go to the lower level!"
Could it be that the mastermind on the Song of the Sea is still on the ship? Wu Chang's face changed, and he immediately called a few people to go to the lower cargo hold.
Li Yubin looked puzzled. He didn't know what Wu Chang was crazy about, but seeing Wu Chang's appearance, it seemed that he had discovered something, so he followed him to the lower cargo hold.
Other people on the ship were either chased by mummies or searching for clues on the ship and looking for the communication equipment mentioned by the captain. Few people approached the cargo hold.
This made the floor where the cargo hold was located extremely quiet.
But it was this silence that was particularly problematic. According to the energy fluctuations he just felt, the battle between the two sides in the cargo hold was very fierce, and it should not be possible to tell the winner for a while.
If one party wants to take down the other party in a short time and bursts out with all their strength, the energy fluctuation will inevitably be sensed by him.
Sure enough, when he walked to the end of the cargo hold, he saw a barrier woven by a mystical barrier in front of him through his eyes polluted by mysticism.
Someone used mystical rituals to isolate the situation inside, and judging from the form of mystical energy, the other party was a member of the New Universe Sect.
Although he didn't know what happened inside, he had to mindlessly destroy what the New Universe Sect wanted to do.
Li Yubin looked at Wu Chang staring at the wall in a daze, thinking that he was possessed by something unclean, she raised the fire axe and shouted softly;
"Li Zaishe, wake up."
Wu Chang turned his head to look behind her and said, "Look what's behind you?"
When Li Yubin turned around, he took the fire axe from Li Yubin's hand, poured the thunder spirit power in his body into the axe, and chopped at the mystic thread in front of him.
Swish.
With the sound of cloth being torn, the wall in front of everyone disappeared, and another cargo hold appeared in front of them.
Li Yubin rubbed his eyes and looked at the extra corridor in front of him in disbelief, "How did you do it?"
This question was not only what Li Yubin wanted to ask, but Jianxing and the negotiation master wanted to ask more.
As players, they didn't realize that the wall in front of them was actually a secret door. How did the cheap boss they followed find it?
With Li Yubin who had just shown great strength, the two began to doubt, is it that the plane rule of the Silent Route dungeon is that the richer you are, the stronger you are?
Per capita Batman, superpower is money?
Wu Chang returned the fire axe to Li Yubin and replied lightly: "There is a door here, can't you see it?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Wu Chang: "That's your problem."
The mystical ritual that concealed the breath was destroyed, and the movement inside was immediately exposed.
The few people didn't walk far before they saw three people fighting in the distance.
To be precise, it was two players who were fighting for a native of the dungeon plane.
One of the players was wearing a bishop's robe, and the bishop's robe was not the symbol of the New Universe Sect, but the symbol of the Tranquility Sect.
That's right, the derivative religion made such a big thing, how could the Tranquility Church sit still and not send powerful players to get involved.
Every time there is trouble, if there is no such shit, people feel that something is missing.
The Tranquility Sect player is surrounded by a magic circle composed of mystical rituals. The magic circle unfolds with him as the center. Wherever he goes, the magic circle goes.
He holds a short stick used by a band conductor in his hand, as if he is conducting a band. Every time he waves the baton, several different types of attacks will be launched from the magic circle.
As a beginner arcane knight, Wu Chang can feel the effects of energy saving and spell amplification from the magic circle.
With these two special effects, the magic of the players of the Tranquility Sect seemed to be free, and the attack magic came one after another, like a personal show.
Jian Xing behind Wu Chang saw this scene and couldn't help but whispered: "It's the secret master."
He wrote down the name and continued to observe the battle in the field.
The target of the secret master's attack was an upright black wolf, which looked like the werewolf in film and television works.
The werewolf was tall, nearly four meters tall when standing upright, with powerful claws, and his fingers could easily penetrate the hull and hang himself in any position.
The movement pattern of the werewolf was similar to that of the mummies. He kept turning between the walls and the ceiling, and his body was extremely fast, leaving only a faint black afterimage in the air.
Although the werewolf was fast, faster than the secret master's attack magic, the secret master completely saw through the werewolf's movements, and each attack was cast in advance towards the position where the werewolf moved, which looked like the werewolf himself bumped into the secret master's magic.
The secret master took the absolute initiative on the scene, but the werewolf was not giving up for nothing. He had a strong regeneration ability and could withstand the secret master's continuous attacks. At the same time, every time he was injured, his speed and strength became stronger, as if he was adding anger by taking damage.
Both of them were top players. Judging from the strength they showed, their strength was not inferior to Palm Fire, and they were more than one level stronger than the current Sword Star.
Neither side used their trump cards. If the stalemate continued, it was not certain who would have the last laugh.
The native of the plane that the two top players were fighting for was an old man who looked nothing special.
The old man was sandwiched between the two people, neither advancing nor retreating. He could only find a thick-looking wooden box and hide behind it.
The two players also had a tacit understanding, and they tried their best not to let the battle affect the old man, nor let the old man leave.
Interesting.
The person that the two top players were fighting for, I don't know what his origin was.
The moment they appeared, they were noticed by two players, but Wu Chang still raised his voice, as if he was afraid that they could not hear him, and shouted:
"I found a non-human monster in the cargo hold, and a mysterious person who controlled the monster with consciousness. Li Yubin, you go and call other people over first, we will hold them back first!"
As he said, Wu Chang took out his mobile phone and pointed the camera at the two people.
This time, the two players were in trouble.
There are no extraordinary abilities and werewolves in the Silent Route plane. If Wu Chang really called someone, then the two of them would not be able to explain themselves.
The secret master is lucky, relying on the endorsement of the new universe sect, he may be able to escape, but the werewolf is not so lucky.
He has no power behind him. If he insists that he is a monster and suspects that what happened on the Song of the Sea is related to him, I am afraid that the plane natives of the whole ship will try to kill him first.
Even if he is not killed, it will become extremely difficult to complete the main task.
The werewolf hesitated for a moment and decided to stop here for the time being. Anyway, the old man couldn't escape in the vast ocean, and there would be plenty of opportunities to catch him in the future.
The werewolf made a decision and immediately roared to the sky. The sound waves visible to the naked eye spread from the wolf's mouth, causing everyone in the field to cover their ears.
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was distracted, the werewolf accelerated, ran away from Wu Chang and others along the ceiling, and disappeared into the cabin in a few blinks.
It was originally seven against two, but after the werewolf escaped, it became seven against one.
To be precise, after including the old man, it was eight against one.
The secret technician glanced at Wu Chang and sighed. If this native hadn't destroyed his occult ritual, he would have succeeded today.
He waved the baton in his hand, and a small magic circle appeared under his feet, and the next moment he disappeared into the cargo hold.
Wu Chang recognized the magic circle used by the secret master. It was a short-distance space moving magic circle, allowing him to escape.
Wu Chang looked around and after making sure there were no other players around, he turned his eyes to the old man who was robbed by the two men.
No one wants this copy, right? If no one wants it, I will pick it up.
He approached the old man and said, "Follow me first, and we'll talk about it later when we get back."
The old man looked at Wu Chang for a few times, thought for a moment, and said, "I think you have some ability, so I will go with you first."
Wu Chang: "..."
Why did you choose it?
Wu Chang and others took the old man away. He gave Qinglong and others a look, and they spread out their positions. Several double doors were blocked, and the thin old man was blocked tightly in an instant.
Wu Chang took the opportunity to ask: "Are you a passenger on the Star Leap or a passenger on the Song of the Sea?"
The old man didn't waste any time and took out a ticket for the Star Leap with his name written on it, Cui Chengze.
"I am an exorcist who specializes in investigating various supernatural and mysterious incidents. Perhaps because I have touched on the truth about this shipwreck area, the mastermind behind the scenes sent the two people just now to arrest me and leave."
Wu Chang asked: "What is the shipwreck zone?"
Cui Chengze took a look at Wu Chang's expensive suit and said in a strange tone:
"A young man from a rich family like you will definitely not care about the life and death of ordinary people. It's normal to not understand."
"In this sea area, every one to two years, ships will disappear inexplicably. Just like the Song of the Sea, no one will be seen alive or dead. These ships do not really sink, but float in a sea area that is inaccessible to ordinary people. ”
"Those mysteriously missing ships, like the Song of the Sea, will wander aimlessly in the sea area, waiting for people to find them. The survivors who were lucky enough to escape from this sea area call this sea area the shipwreck zone. "
Wu Chang raised his eyebrows, looked at Cui Chengze, and said, "Are you one of these survivors?"
Cui Chengze looked at Wu Chang with some surprise and said: "You are indeed a genius who can split the formation barrier. Your intuition is frighteningly sharp. Let me take a good look at you."
Cui Chengze looked Wu Chang up and down for several times, then clapped his hands and said with regret: "What a piece of jade. If I had met you earlier and been taught by me, you would definitely become the strongest occultist in history." master!"
Wu Chang curled his lips. When Cui Chengze said this, the beggar who tricked children into buying painting books appeared in front of his eyes.
"Let's not talk about whether these are available or not. Rather than learning about mysticism, I want to know more about the sunken shipwreck zone."
Cui Chengze's expression changed, he shook his head and said, "No, the secret of the sunken shipwreck is very important. Unless you agree to help me, I will never tell you."
Wu Chang smiled, toasting and not eating cephalosporins, right?
He was about to make some verbal threats, but "Perfectionism" reacted.
Hidden side quests have reacted.
