The hidden hatch creaked open, and a beam of cold light shone in from outside, reflecting a gray world.

Fang Yu shook it with the lighting crystal, and a rotten and moldy breath came to his face, and the slowly flowing dust floated in the air.

He frowned and waved his hand, took out a purification crystal and threw it in.

The crystal fell to the ground and shattered with a thud, and the wind elemental stored in it surged and began to blow away the turbid air in the ship's cabin.

It's actually a small wind-making technique, which can be made by the element, and it's a must-have for exploring underground ruins.

Of course, it is also suitable for occasions like the current one.

"What kind of ship is this?" Ai Xiaoxiao asked quietly at this time.

Fang Yu shook his head.

He had released a goblin to look at the stern of the ship, but the nameplate there had rusted and was covered in patina. I can barely see De...... a… Two bytes.

There were no flags on the ship, and there were no insignia or markings on the sails that could identify them—speaking of the emblems and markings, Fang Yu remembered that the Seven Seas Brigade also needed a logo of its own, but now was not the time to think about it, so he decided to design another one when he was free.

It is said that such a large ship, of course, has an extraordinary origin, and its shape is a sail-shaped wingship, such a ship is either an expedition ship, or a warship, of course, it may also be a pirate ship, but in short, it will not be a merchant ship.

In general, the possibility of a corsair is a little greater, and there will be no markers on the warship, followed by an expedition ship, which also has this possibility.

At this time, there was a click, Luo Yu stepped into the plank, everyone turned around, and the former shook his head a little embarrassedly, indicating that he was fine.

"This ship is already decaying," Fang Yu glanced at and reminded, "Be careful, everyone, the deck could become a trap at any time in such a place." ”

"Will there be treasure in this ship?" Ai Xiaoxiao asked.

"It's possible."

Fang Yu's tone was uncertain. But they didn't come up to find out what might be there.

"If Parker were here, he might have liked it." Luo Yu pulled out his foot with Tang Xin's help and said.

The box nodded, agreeing with the idea. Of all, he had the best relationship with the Paparals, and was therefore the most convincing.

"The most likely place to find valuable relics is the bottom warehouse," while waiting for ventilation and exhaust, Fang Yu said to a few people first, "followed by the captain's room, the material warehouse, and the magic guide engine room. The captain's room to see if he can retrieve some personal belongings and figure out the true identity of the ship. There may be spare precious materials in the material warehouse, and the magic cabin itself has a lot of valuable things. In addition, there are some functional cabins, such as alchemy workshops, potions rooms, etc., not every ship has them, it depends on our luck. ”

Everyone nodded.

Fang Yu said again: "The captain's room should be the closest to us, the magic guide engine room is usually in the middle of the hull, we go to the captain's room first, then the magic guide engine room, and finally the material warehouse and the bottom warehouse, originally the most time-saving action is to act separately, but no one knows if there is any danger below, so we still act in unison." ”

Everyone still nodded, and Tang Xin thought about it for a while and felt that there was no problem.

Only then did Fang Yu take out the communication crystal and pass the situation back here.

There was no obstacle to communication, and the people left behind on the Seven Seas Traveler were Baggins, Luo Hao, and Paparal, as well as Attila and Sky Blue, who were in charge of housekeeping. Hearing that a shipwreck and a possible treasure had been found here, Parker was so jealous that his eyes turned green, and Sky Blue also called the captain eccentric.

But Fang Yu didn't bother to pay attention to them. After saying that he was safe, he turned off the communication crystal, and after waiting for a while, under the effect of the wind elemental magic, the turbidity in the cabin below should be almost discharged.

"Ai Xiaoxiao," he said, "you come and take the lead." ”

"Huh?"

"Ah what? You are a ranger, the most observant, and now that Miss Attila has taken a back seat, in the future, you and Alyssa will take on the role of the team, you are in charge of defense, and she is in charge of attack," Fang Yu said, "Don't worry, I will let my flexible construct protect you." ”

"But I've heard that the sword-wielder is quite old, Cousin Ed," Ai Xiaoxiao asked quite honestly, "can it really protect me?" ”

She asked, tapping her hand on the empty copper shell of the structure standing aside.

"It depends on who the controller is, if it's your leader, no matter how old the model is, it can still work."

Fang Yu is serious, using language to cover up the fact that he doesn't have a better construct at hand.

And Tang Xin glanced at him angrily. She shook her head, gently pushed her friend behind her back, and said, "Listen to him, Xiaoxiao, although this dead pigeon is unreliable, it still has two brushes." ”

Ai Xiaoxiao already trusted this eldest cousin extremely much, and after hearing this, she no longer doubted him. She pulled out a pair of scimitars with a bit of a hand and walked out cautiously.

The eldest cousin said that she could be an eye of the team in the future, which made Ai Xiaoxiao like it. If she can stay in this world, it means that her homework is postponed indefinitely.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking on the part of this little girl, and we will talk about this later.

But for the time being, Ai Xiaoxiao feels that this world is much more interesting than her holiday homework.

The group followed Ai Xiaoxiao, the wooden planks under their feet creaking and making a terrible sound, almost making people suspect that it would collapse at any moment.

However, Ai Xiaoxiao was scared before, but now she is bold, and only the shadows that flicker above the beam can make her stop a little.

Those are just insects hiding on this ship, and under the cover of time, the shipwreck has long become a paradise for creatures in the air and sea. But that's where the danger lies, as there are many aggressive, high-level creatures among those uninvited guests.

There are also the undead born in the darkness and filth, such shipwrecks are often haunted by ghosts, ghost ships are only legends in the other world, but not here.

However, Fang Yu had already used the clockwork goblins to check in front of him once beforehand, and had them fly to the lower level to observe the degree of decay on the deck below, and often told Ai Xiaoxiao to avoid some dangerous places.

After a while, Ai Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped, turned around and whispered to them:

"There's something behind the wall."

Fang Yu had actually seen it earlier, there was a wandering undead sailor behind the door, and the flames of the bleak soul were floating in the empty eye sockets, and it hadn't noticed them yet.

Tang Xin wanted to raise the Holy Emblem, but Fang Yu stopped his cousin first.

He took out a crossbow from under his coat, aimed it in that direction, and pulled the trigger. The bolt fired, piercing the rotten wallboard and striking the latter's head, and the undead sailor fell, the skull rolling down the sloping deck and stopping not far from them, the fire long gone.

Fang Yu put away his crossbow and said to the others, "It's just a lowest-level wandering undead, there's no need to go through the trouble and alarm other things." ”

Ai Xiaoxiao looked at him a little stunned.

"Big cousin, you've changed," she said unexpectedly, "as if, as if you're more reliable than ever." ”

Tang Xin also glanced at her cousin, but she didn't expect the other party to be so handsome.

She bit her lip, and that's what he's after? Or is it that men will be more attractive when they pursue their ideals?

The faint unwillingness that had only sunk in her heart for a short time floated up again.

That's her brother, and he's not counting all the things he's promised?

"The regiment commander has changed a lot," Luo Yu also agreed, "There are so many things on the Seven Seas Traveler, and the regiment commander has to carry it alone, and when he made such a decision in Istania before, the regiment commander must have hesitated for a lot of time." ”

For the questions of several people, Fang Yu's face was slightly feverish, but he also smiled faintly. The experience of Shahai and his party has indeed changed a lot for him, and he dares to make decisions that he didn't dare to make in the past, and now he dares to make them, arrange the affairs of the ship, and take on the responsibility of the leader, which may be maturity.

Only the box, with the eyes hidden under the erected collar, carefully observed the other party, and did not see any changes.

It's still that person. Hey, I didn't expect everyone to fall too, ridiculous commercial touting.

But what does all this have to do with him, a ruthless killer?

"Box," Ai Xiaoxiao turned around, "what do you think?" ”

"Hmph," the box replied vaguely, "the head of the regiment is very good. ”

The ship rolled badly, and the aisle that was easy to pass through became a steep danger zone under this inclination, and in some places, it was almost necessary to use both hands and feet to pass.

The tilted hull turned something into a deadly trap, and a few of them had seen a cannon move sideways, smashing through one side of the ship and crashing into the abyss in that direction.

If the sword-wielder pushed Ai Xiao away a little more slowly, the latter would be knocked down.

It was the most thrilling situation the group had encountered so far, and other than that, there were only a few low-level undead wandering in the cabin.

On the straight artillery deck, the magic cannons were stacked on top of each other, but most of them were rusted and unshakable, and some of them might be ready for use after cleaning, but for the time being, they weren't focused on the bulky things.

Walk through what is clearly a dining room, where the bones of the dead are strewn to the ground, the chandelier on the ceiling is tilted to one side along the hull, and some paper maps slide off the table, scattered and dusty.

Fang Yu picked up one, the pieces of paper were shattered and turned into dust, and it was obviously not easy to preserve these fragile things under the environment of the air and sea.

In front of it is the ship's room, and in the past it was the captain's room. Fang Yu pushed open the door, and there were still two dead bones that had fallen to the ground, looking at the outfit, it should be an officer.

If it is a pirate, the status should not be low, either the first mate or the herald.

However, the scattered corpses clearly caught his attention. It is said that even if it is a shipwreck, it will not kill so many people, and there is a prayer room on the ship, there is a resurrection point, and if there is no communication barrier, they should wait for rescue.

Even if you are a pirate, you should always be able to escape.

But the people on this ship seemed to have died at the moment of shipwreck.

He looked back in thought, and his cousin apparently saw it too. She was looking up at him and whispered, "This could be the Dead Zone." ”

Fang Yu nodded.

This very damaging word obviously had an impact on others, and everyone couldn't help but be a little cautious.

Even Ai Xiaoxiao, who was at the front, shrank back.

"What's next?" Luo Yu asked, "Do you want to go back first?" ”

"Look further on." Fang Yu pondered for a moment before replying.

The Dead Zone was nothing new to him. There are many strange places in Aitaria that have dead zones, some man-made, some not, and so far no particular pattern has been found, except for the fact that they are scattered around the Continental Bridge.

And where there are dead zones, it often means that there are few people off the beaten track and there may be real good stuff.

How can the so-called expedition not take any risks?

He took out the communication crystal and informed the other side of the situation, but Miss Attila didn't say much except to tell him to be careful.

Luo Hao suggested getting the Seven Seas Traveler over, but Fang Yu refused, and waited until the overhaul was complete.

There was nothing of interest in the ship's service room, and when I opened the drawers of the cabinets around me, it was pitch black, as if it were filled with a drawer of dust.

There are only a few old coins, which have been recovered in the spirit that fly meat is also meat, but there are not many of them.

There were no valuable clues on the two corpses, and it was impossible to determine their identities.

Passing through the ship's cabin, there is a locked door in front. The door was quite delicate, and through the dust it was discerning some of its former colors, which was about the only color they had seen since they had come aboard the ship, other than gray.

Fang Yu stopped in front of the door. He knew that there was the captain's room behind it, but before opening the door, he first turned his head and looked at Ai Xiaoxiao.

Ai Xiaoxiao reacted and shook her head, "There is no movement behind the door." ”

She described it with her mouth.

The captain's room was sealed, and Fang Ou had already flown around with a clockwork goblin to confirm this.

There were no traps on the door, and the chest confirmed this with detection magic.

Most of the traps in this kind of place are temporary, after all, no one will set up any nonsensical things such as quenching poison heavy crossbows in the places they go in and out of every day.

After determining these two points, Fang Yu still cautiously ordered the sword-bearer to step forward and slash open the door of the captain's room with a single sword.

His caution proved to be useless, and as the sword-wielding man stepped forward at his command, swung his sword open the door of the captain's chamber - a silver light sliced out from behind the broken wooden door, right in the middle of the sword-wielder's waist without anyone seeing it.

The sword-wielder was cut off directly, and his upper body still maintained the posture of swinging the sword, staggered from the lower half of his body, flew out sideways, crashed into the plank, and split apart with the plank.

And the lower half of the body was only a moment later, and it flew out and crashed into a pile of chairs.

After that silver light flashed, everyone saw a dark red light flash behind the door, and another silver light shot out of the black doorway.

The silver mangs pointed directly at the square plover in the crowd.

But then the box finally reacted, and as soon as it grasped the short staff, a layer of gray net spread out from the staff.

The silver light passed through the invisible gray web, and the speed slowed, and the box stepped forward and pulled out the thin sword with his backhand, and another silver light flashed in the dimness.

Sparks flew in midair, and the silver light tilted to the side, inserting into the wall panel, and finally revealing its figure.

It was a short spear that shimmered silver.

Fang Yu glanced at the box, the ability of the Spell Poet can attach four instantaneous magic circles to the magic guide core crystal, although this ability will reduce the maximum mana, but it is indeed the most suitable direction for the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.

The chest is also starting to follow its own path, and is going further and further on the path of the magic sword. Seriously, he didn't even give much advice, Lonely White is a person who really has a good hand at seeing people.

In a moment's trance, a strange construct had crawled out of the door, allowing everyone to see their opponent's appearance clearly.

It was a construct that looked quite unfamiliar to Fang Yuan—

It has a slender shape, like an upright bamboo pole, and wears a pointed hat on its head, which glows dark red.

That's the red light they'd seen earlier, the eyes of the construct.

The structure remains humanoid in general, but is so tall that it almost hunchs over to stand in this small space.

It was covered in black lacquer, with dark gold lace outlined around it, rusted in places, and the exposed parts were distinctly coppery.

The weapon of this construct is a long knife hanging from the waist, which is tucked into the sheath of the magic guide and connected to the magic guide furnace behind it by a leather tube.

That's right, this construct is equipped with a magic furnace. Although Fang Yu hadn't yet distinguished the model of the magic guide furnace, it was indeed the first time he had seen the structure equipped with the magic guide furnace.

Presumably, the sharp sword from before was swung from the scabbard of the magic guide.

The flexible structure of the sword-wielding man is unstoppable in front of this sword.

But that sword wasn't the main weapon of the build.

Because Fang Yu had already seen that on its slender bronze hands, it was holding an Imperial Eleven-type magic guide rifle, the same leather tube, connected to the magic guide furnace behind it, the pitch-black gun body, the edge of which was refracted with cold light, dark red light spots, with a chirping mechanical sound, aimed at itself.

The appearance of this thing holding a gun in both hands actually reminded Fang Yu of the toy soldiers he played with when he was a child.

It's just that the one in front of me is more slender and much more hardcore than those toys.

A flash of fire burst out of the darkness, and golden-red bullets swirled through the gray net held up by the boy.

Since everything happened between the appearance of the construct and the firing of the gun, the box only had time to turn around, and a flash of surprise flashed in its eyes:

"Ignore magic!?"

"Cousin Ed, be careful!" Ai Xiaoxiao also screamed in fear.

But Fang Yuan's heart seemed to have already shown a crisis, and he almost unconsciously turned sideways, and the bullet passed through the wall, smashing a big hole there.

Because of the wind pressure, Fang Yu heard a buzz in his ears, and his consciousness was blank for a moment, before he almost reacted, and it was the dark blessing that saved his life.

That's a fast thing.

But what shook his heart more than this was that at the moment when the constructor opened fire, he felt a similar fluctuation spilling from the opponent's nuclear crystal.

Neither the Rune Sentinel nor the Golem will have such a magical outward display - that's a flexible build!

Regardless of the use of the Magic Furnace's Soul Construct. To Fang Yuan's surprise, there were other battle craftsmen in this place?

By this time, he had already heard the sound of the box coming from the front.

"Don't do it, I can deal with it alone!"

The boy was clearly in a state of flux.

……
