Chapter 29: The Black Pearl
"Fire Cloud Finger!" Gao Zhen stretched out his hand and flicked, and with a snap, a flaming arrow shot out, hitting the head of a moon resentment skeleton that rushed to the front, burning a hole.
“AOE! AOE! Shen Xin shouted as he hid behind him.
"It's embarrassing, I don't have AOE at the moment!" Tell her with a high pillow tilted her head.
A skeleton pounced from behind, stretched out its bone-only palm and grabbed Shen Xin's ankle, pulling it back vigorously. Shen Xin screamed in surprise and kicked back hard with his foot.
"There are so many enemies that I can't hold on." Hyakmu uses demonic power to convey the words she wants to say.
The evil light that shot out of her eyes turned the skeletons in the front row to stone, and as a result, the skeletons rushed forward one after the other, one on top of the other. Even Hyakmu's own eyes were a little sore, and she couldn't help but want to close them, but as soon as she closed them, the skeletons that had turned to stone would move again.
"Gotta figure it out!" Tsukasu used his fingers to shoot flames at the skeletons, and as he padded his feet, he looked around the skeletons' bone wall, looking for a way to escape.
The inside of this strange volcano turned out to be a huge hollow. The cave they came from was a crack in the wall of the volcano, connecting the outside of the mountain with the inside of the mountain. The trap triggered by the high pillow opened the vertical shaft that led to the hollow area, and descended from above, landing right on a boardwalk on a rock wall.
The plank road on this rock wall is made of stone, which is both artificial and unlike. It was very narrow, just over two meters wide, and stretched around the edge of the hollow area, circle by circle, down to the bottom of the magma.
At the bottom of the hollow area is a sea of magma, and on top of it is a three-masted sailing ship, even the sails are flying without wind, which is very strange and bizarre.
The two people who came in to explore were caught between the front and back, with skeletons in front and skeletons behind them, guarding by the Hyakmu Ghost while blocking the high pillow. But these skeletons seemed to be inexhaustible, and they kept crawling out from under the stone plank path, trying to capture the positions of Gao Zhen and Shen Xin.
Gao Zhen suddenly had an idea and thought of a way. He took out a large handful of Burning Sun Charms from the backpack bar, held them in his hands, and used his divine sense to communicate with the Hundred Eyes Ghost.
"Shen Xin, hurry! Drag those skeletons that have turned to stone! Gao Zhen shouted to Shen Xin, who was hiding in the middle.
"Dry ...... Do? Shen Xin didn't know why.
"Listen to me, that's right!" Gao Zhen affirmed.
Shen Xin nodded, slipped to the side of the Hundred Eyes Ghost, grabbed the skeleton that turned into stone in the evil light, and dragged it to his side. These skeletons that were turned into stone, you grabbed me, I stepped on you, they were all tightly glued together, solidified into a large stone, and were dragged by Shen Xin, and slid up on the stone plank road.
"Stand up!" Takatsu pointed to the large boulders formed by the skeletons as he spoke, and jumped up first.
Seeing that Shen Xin and the Hundred Eyes Ghost also climbed up, he flicked his fingers a few times, creating a string of flames, and knocked down several skeletons that also wanted to climb up.
"Hurry up! Get ready! "Pillow began to count down, "3! 2! 1! Ignition! ”
With that ignition of the fire, Gao Zhen violently urged the spiritual power in his dantian, triggering the fire true qi in his body, and igniting a large handful of yang flame charms in his hands.
"Bang bang bang!" The Yang Flame Charm exploded one by one, and with the blessing of the Fire True Qi and Fire Attribute Equipment Volcanic Stone Pendant on the high pillow, a red fire lotus bloomed that was bigger than ever. The fire lotus bloomed at the skeletons behind him, and from the lotus heart, fire crows flew out one after another, and quickly sprayed backwards.
If you look at this scene from a distance, it is a rocket that is lit horizontally, and there are three people lying on the rocket.
"Ahh Even the hundred-eyed ghosts who couldn't speak grew their mouths, and the explosion of the Yang Yan Charm produced a huge recoil force, because of the "Newton's third law", the huge rock that the three of them rode on seemed to be equipped with a motor, and with a whoosh, it rushed down towards the downward slope of the plank road.
Gao Zhen quickly urged his magic weapon, the "Green Spirit Blade", to make it spin rapidly in front of it, forming a cyan circular cover, blocking the shattered skeleton.
So, this "roller coaster" made of skull stones takes three people who have broken into hell and sps down a circular slide that slopes downward. The Moon Resentment Skeleton, which still had some unknown circumstances, climbed up from under the plank road, but as soon as it showed its head, the speeding car arrived, and with a bang, the skull flew away.
"Have you ever thought about how to stop?" Seeing that the plank road in front of him was getting shorter and shorter, and it was about to disappear into the hot magma, but the flying car still didn't have the slightest intention of slowing down, Shen Xin couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"I really didn't expect this step!" Answer truthfully.
"Ahh Shen Xin screamed, the slide had bottomed out, and the speeding car rushed out and fell into the magma, gurgling and making a sound.
Shen Xin thought that he was dead and was going to lose his experience. As a result, if you look closely, you were actually caught, hanging above the magma, and you were still half a meter away from falling in.
At the moment of emergency, Gao Zhen took out a piece of equipment he had taken from Zhou Mi: "Hook Claw", and quickly threw it towards the rocks on the plank road.
This hook is actually a rope with an iron claw attached, and the iron claw thrown from the high pillow grabs the irregular rock and gets stuck in the gap, and he pulls the other end of the rope with his hand, hanging in the air, and does not fly into the magma with the flying car.
At the last moment, he reached out and grabbed the bow tied behind Shen Xin's kimono belt, which saved her life. And the hundred-eyed ghost had already fled back to the demon world in fear, turning himself into a thin little paper figure, lying in Shen Xin's clothes.
Losing the control of the Cursed Pupil, the skeletons that had been used as speeding cars returned to their original form one by one. As soon as I woke up, I found that I was lying in the magma, and I couldn't scream even if I squeaked and whined, and was slowly swallowed up by the magma, turning into several black bubbles, which burst with a snap, and then disappeared.
"It's dangerous, it's dangerous, it's good that I'm fast." Gao Zhen grabbed Shen Xin and smiled.
"You must say it in advance in the future, don't scare me all the time." Shen Xin complained.
"Let's go up, the skeletons are rushing again." With a strong arm, he pulled Shen Xin to crawl towards the end of the plank road.
The circular downward sloping boardwalk ends here, turning into a small platform that sticks out above the lava. The odd black three-masted galleon rested on the lava not far away.
The sailboat was painted black throughout, like a tiger shark rising to the surface. Its shape is designed with a strange beauty, with streamlined curves, slender masts, and a delicately carved captain's cabin, every detail shows the difference of this sailing ship.
The most striking is the bow portrait of the sailing ship. It was a mermaid, topless, arms outstretched back, and a huge tail stretched down to merge with the hull to the bottom of the boat.
The name of the ship is written on the hull in floral English: "Black Pearl".
I couldn't see it from a distance before, but when I looked closer, I saw something strange. The eerie sailboat parked inside the volcano was surrounded by a flowing gray-black film. This membrane encloses the entire sailboat, making it float in the air and not come into contact with the magma underground. The heat outside the film is raging, but the inside of the film looks calm.
Gao Zhen looked at himself and Shen Xin's status bar, now they both have an extra layer of burn debuff, because both of them are too close to the magma, although with Gao Zhen's passive skill blessing, the blood volume is still decreasing.
"The skeletons are coming after us, let's get on board!" Gao Pillow said as he flicked his hook and threw it towards the Black Pearl.
"Click!" The hook hooked right on the edge of the deck. Takatsu tied the other end of the rope to a piece of volcanic rock at the end of the boardwalk, turning the hook into a rope bridge that spanned the sailboat and the boardwalk.
"You crawl over first!" Gao Zhen helped Shen Xin to climb to the top of the rope bridge.
Shen Xin hung upside down on the rope bridge, slowly shrunk his hands and feet, and crawled towards the boat. She lost a lot of health, and if she didn't go to a shady place, she would be burned alive by the debuff.
Gao Zhen stood in place, holding the green spirit blade and slashing over a few skeletons that suddenly appeared, watching Shen Xin crawl towards the deck little by little.
Suddenly, just as Shen Xin had already entered half of her body in the gray-black membrane and was about to board the deck, a strange force grabbed her and pulled her in, and she didn't even have time to scream, and disappeared on the deck of the Black Pearl.
The gray-black film suddenly returned to calm.
