Chapter 1069: The Ghost Ship (Part II)

There are many kinds of undead creatures, and their numbers are extremely large.

The two undead creatures with the most branches are ghosts and skeletons.

In addition, even if the probability is very low, the undead do have a certain evolutionary ability, and it is not impossible to evolve from a skeleton of the five scum to a country-destroying undead that can be considered a natural disaster as soon as it appears.

The number and the ability to evolve have led to the fact that there are so many types of undead in these two categories that people are slumped, especially the ghost system.

Because they have no body, they are highly susceptible to the influence of the environment and magic, and some can even mutate into the Holy Spirit and Heroic Spirit with high ideals and righteousness.

- Eighty percent is due to some deviation on the road of evolution......

Although it sounds a bit incredible, the ghost undead are indeed afraid of salt, and the principle is not clear for the time being, but it does not prevent them from being used.

Many travelers carry a handful of salt with them, not only to season them on the road, but more importantly, if they encounter a large number of ghost attacks, simply sprinkle a circle of salt in front of them to form an impenetrable barrier, and the effect can last until the integrity is destroyed.

But this is not absolute.

Skeleton undead gain the passive skill 'Blasphemy' after level 30, allowing them to alleviate their fear of positive energy.

In the same way, ghost-based undead creatures are not very afraid of salt after level 30, and it is indeed useful to sprinkle a circle around them, but the effect is not as obvious as before.

Ghost undead from level 40 onwards can completely ignore the salt-sprinkled barrier, though they still don't like to touch it.

But the situation in front of him was unusual, judging by the concentration of negative energy, it was clear that the undead had invaded the cabin from the bottom of the sea and attacked from the bottom up.

Able to move freely in highly salty waters, ghost-type undead creatures around level 40 can't do it, and this attacking undead creature is at least level 50.

"Mr. An, Mr. An, I think we should get out of here quickly."

Seeing that An was thinking about something, one of the sailors couldn't help but speak, his throat seemed to be choked, and his voice was particularly nervous.

A space full of negative energy is not suitable for living people, and the weaker the resistance to negative energy.

The faces of the four sailors who followed An Yizhi were a little pale, and they didn't run away just because they were worried that they would be sad if they ran into the ghost after leaving An Yizhi.

I scanned the lower warehouse with a dance technique and saw that there was nothing suspicious. An Yizhi knocked his feet with his staff, and several mechanical spiders with red bellies flashed appeared out of thin air, and disappeared between the cracks of the crate after a few moments with eight legs.

This is a kind of insurance, if the undead creature is still on the ship, it can delay a little time if the ship is blown up directly.

Of course, the four sailors who came with Ann......

Hehe. (Mom sells batches!) )

The warehouse on the ground floor was not found to be anything noteworthy except for the negative energy, and then several people re-ascended the stairs to the middle level.

The cargo ship is a typical three-story structure, with the upper deck being the deck, the crew living quarters in the middle, and the lower deck being the cargo hold and power area.

However, in order to prevent danger, the power area and the cargo compartment are separated, and you can only go down through the long corridor on the middle level.

The middle floor is the living quarters of the sailors, which also causes the air to be filled with a smell of sweat + alcohol, which is quite disgusting.

No way, in this day and age, don't expect fresh water on the ship for people to bathe.

The group approached the nearest cabin, a double-door structure that looked like a dining room.

The four sailors stood on either side of the door, and when they saw Ann nodding, they reached out and pushed the door open.

Behind the door was indeed the dining room, and the long dining table and the uneaten food on the table could be seen, but the sight of the dining room made the sailors' faces as white as paper, and they almost threw away the scimitars in their hands.

About a dozen or twenty skeletons sat in the dining room, sitting in chairs, clutching knives and forks, or raising glasses and laughing, as if they didn't know they were dead, still in their last posture.

Touching the Orb of Death and probing, these skeletons are just human skeletons, not undead creatures.

In the silence where her heart was about to jump out, Hela spoke:

"Master, I have a rough idea of what it is."

"What's it?"

An Yizhi didn't have much to be afraid of, he had seen too many things like ghost skeletons, and he should really be afraid of it if it was a temporary copy, after all, he was a war scumbag in the temporary copy, and in the main world of Duosu, even if a ghost undead creature above level 50 came out, An Yizhi could use the shelling form to paste its face 'bright and white', and if it could be beaten, what could be killed was not worth being afraid of.

"Ghosts are undead creatures, they can move freely in the seawater, and they will eat people so cleanly that there is not even a little minced meat left, so there is only one option, the bloody mist."

The Blood Mist is a very special ghost-based undead creature, it is not someone's soul transformation, but the accumulation of countless souls, a strange undead creature born by chance.

From the outside, the bloody fog is a white mist, similar to the morning fog that comes out in the morning, but the origin of the word 'bloody' makes people avoid it.

This undead creature feeds on mana, and anything that contains it is used as food, and is insatiably greedy.

Since mortals possess some magical powers, mortals surrounded by the bloody mist will be eaten away, leaving no bones behind.

"The sun was at the height of the attack when it happened, and the Bloody Mist was very afraid of positive energy, so it quickly gnawed away the flesh of the crew and the magic power of this ship, and the bones were not easy to digest, so they were preserved. If it happens late at night, there will be no bones left at all. ”

"It's very scared of positive energy? How scared is it? ”

Maybe An Yizhi will also encounter this kind of monster, so it doesn't hurt to ask in advance.

"A bottle of holy water can make it obediently get out, with your master's magical ability, it's not strange to use the sun ray to get it in one shot."

Is it so weak......

Hela's statement is not accurate, or a bit evasive.

The degree to which Bloody Mist is afraid of positive energy is indeed as she said, but Bloody Mist is not afraid of anything but positive energy.

Immune to physical attacks, resistance to other energy attacks is also super high, and with the haunting and mist-like characteristics, this thing is really hard to prevent.

"Don't worry."

The surrounding sailors had a big look on their faces, and Hela comforted:

"Although the Bloody Mist is insatiable, it takes a lot of time to digest the magic power it swallows, even if the magic power of these sailors is insignificant, the magic power of this ship is enough for it to digest for a while, and it will not come out to forage for food for at least twenty or thirty years."

They only come out to forage once in decades, and with such a low probability of being hit, the people on this ship are really unlucky.

Maybe it was Ann Yizhi's indifferent appearance of the bloody fog that gave the sailors confidence, or maybe it was because they felt a little relieved after figuring out the attacker's body, at least the four sailors were no longer as pale as they were just now, and they regained some blood.

Then several people opened the rooms in the corridor that could be opened, and they were basically the same, either empty or only skeletons remained, and no survivors were found.

By the way, they also went down the stairs to see the condition of the magic reactor, including the compartment where the magic crystals were stored and the reactor furnace were empty, without the slightest trace of magic power, obviously eaten by the bloody mist, and there was nothing left.

Finally they went to the captain's quarters, where they could see a skeleton in a fur hat sitting in a sitting position, with a quill in his fingers, as if writing a logbook, all frozen in the moment before the bloody fog struck.

No survivors were found, and the sailors certainly wouldn't have made a trip in vain.

They took off the charts hanging on the side of the captain's quarters and packed them away, which was the most important thing for a captain, and by the way, they got some gold and silver artifacts and stuffed them in their pockets, which was the reward for their willingness to risk on board.

An Yizhi picked up the logbook and flipped through it, it seemed to be some years old, and the original page was written almost twenty years ago.

The skeleton in front of him was an experienced old captain, and the journal mentioned many storms, diseases, and even pirate attacks, but they were all avoided again and again under his command and good fortune, but this attack without warning became his masterpiece.

Without any reason, no matter how experienced the captain is, he will capsize on the sea, and this is the terrible thing about ocean shipping, and it is also the terrible thing about the sea.

After confirming that nothing was missing, the group returned to the Sea Giant, and Ann handed the log to the captain and gave a general account of what they had seen on the ship.

"Bloody Mist?"

The captain thought about it and patted his head:

"You're talking about 'Red Storm', there is a legend among the older captains who can devour the entire ship in an instant, I heard it from my old captain when I was younger, but I really haven't seen it with my own eyes."

He shouted to the sailors around him:

"Go and a few people take out the holy water and sprinkle it on the bottom cabin, remember to sprinkle it evenly for Lao Tzu, who dares to fool Lao Tzu and pick his skin! Let's all work, we still have a lot of business to do! ”

Then he turned his head and continued:

"The older captains taught us that we had to prepare some holy water on board, but few people listen to it now, because it's not usually useful."

Hela whispered:

"A sprinkle of holy water is enough to keep the Bloody Mist out of the prying eyes, and it will see the ship as a stinking that won't attack."

"Yes, that's what the old captains say, old Foss, a cunning fellow, has been calculating all his life, but he didn't expect to die of carelessness in the end."

As the sailors returned to their positions, the Sea Giant restarted.

And the dangers at sea are not as simple as being prepared.
