Chapter 216: Foggy
"Damn, where did these skeletons come from?"
Looking at the skeleton soldiers who climbed onto the side of the ship, Yi Ran only felt creepy in her heart.
Throwing out a serpentine tongue of fire, engulfing the rushing skeleton soldier in flames, Yi Ran's backhand swung out another punch, and the moment it hit the rotten wooden shield in the skeleton soldier's hand, a string of scarlet flames burst open, shattering the skeleton behind the shield.
The scorching flames burned on his hands, steaming the rain into a white mist, and although it looked handsome, only Ira herself knew how uncomfortable it was.
In stormy weather, her abilities were weakened to the extreme, and while her physical skills weren't weak, she was still a little poor at dealing with group combat.
Gasping slightly, Yi Ran looked in the direction of the bow of the ship, only to see the skeletons holding rusted swords, constantly climbing up from the bow of the ship, and the sailors with steel knives and short guns fighting together.
Suddenly, there were three light sounds in my ears.
I saw three dark green arrow shadows, which hit three skeletons respectively.
One of the skeletons had its spine broken by a bow and arrow, and it fell apart into a heap. As for the other two skeletons, each with an arrow stuck in their ribs, their bodies just swayed, and they continued to move forward mechanically like people who were fine.
Leia's expression was solemn, and the bow and arrow in her hand were slightly pressed, these skeleton soldiers just restrained her best archery.
Seeing that more than a dozen skeleton soldiers were about to rush in front of her, she decisively put down her short bow, picked up a spear with a hook and sickle from the ground, held it in her hand, and swept towards the skeleton soldiers who rushed forward.
Kwa Laββ!
The moment the hook and sickle swept over, the sound of skeletons shattering sounded, and three or four skeleton soldiers were swept away, and the skeleton shelves were scattered all over the ground.
"Kill!"
Not far away, sailors armed with scimitar spears, led by Captain Kerut, fought with the skeletons who rushed to the deck. The clashing of swords was hidden in the howling storm, and the scene was chaotic.
The skeletal soldiers were weak, not even as good as the untrained peasants, but there were so many of them that they came up in waves, like a tidal wave crashing on the side of a ship.
Smashing more than a dozen skeleton soldiers one after another, Leia gasped slightly, took half a step back, and distanced herself from the skeleton soldiers who rushed closer, ready to shoot out.
At this moment, a dazzling red light instantly pierced the rain curtain and swept half a circle in front of her, and more than a dozen skeleton soldiers were instantly cut off by the hot laser beam, and instantly fell backwards to the ground.
Looking back and seeing Jiang Feng standing there, a touch of surprise appeared on Leia's face.
The magic element in the air became agitated, and Jiang Feng's right hand stretched out straight forward, chanting a spell in his mouth.
A soft light bloomed from his fingertips, condensing into a solid pillar of light, spreading outward with a circle of pale golden ripples.
Raising his shield to block the slashing sword and splitting a broken skull with his axe, Captain Kairut, who was battling the skeletons at the stern of the ship, was drawn to the light. When he looked in Jiang Feng's direction, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
Holy Light!
And...... It seems to be the Holy Light of the Crowd!
Strictly speaking, this is Reinhardt's ability.
At that time, on the battlefield in the Kara Mountains, Jiang Feng saw the paladin praying for holy light, so he recorded the magic element arrangement model of the group holy light through the brain chip, and secretly learned this skill. Although the Holy Light Technique released by his hand is fundamentally different from the Holy Light Technique released by ordinary priests through prayer, the effect is almost the same.
Bathed in the holy light, the skeletons standing on the deck were like old machines without oil, their jawbones opening and closing making scalp-tingling bone grinding sounds, like miserable wails.
A wisp of black gas emanated from behind them, quickly dissolving into the light.
Boosted by the holy light, the sailors on deck roared and swung their swords to chop down the sluggish skeletons to the ground.
The tide of the battlefield turned in an instant.
There was a terrible cry from the distant sea, as if they had received some kind of order, and the skeletons who had climbed on the deck jumped into the sea, and the skeletons who were climbing the ship also let go one after another, and withdrew like a tide.
"Victory!"
"Long live the wizard!"
There was a roar of cheers on the deck, but it didn't last long, for the sailors really didn't have much energy left.
Fighting in the rain is difficult enough, especially in such ghostly weather, where they not only have to dodge slashing swords, but also have to overcome the shaking of the deck, which is not easy for those who are new to sailors.
A total of five sailors were killed, four were seriously wounded, and most of the rest of the sailors who took part in the battle suffered minor wounds. Captain Kairut instructed the sailors, who still had physical strength, to throw the bodies of their companions into the sea while cleaning the skeletons from the deck.
Although in terms of mood, he didn't want to do that.
But if he doesn't, the people on board who are still alive will have to risk contracting the plague.
The rolling waves did not stop because of the attack of the undead, and the waves four or five meters high slapped on the side of the ship, and at the same time slapped on the hearts of all sailors.
"Don't be afraid, the edge of the storm is just around the corner!"
"Adjust the combustion power of the boiler to the maximum, fast! Fast! β
Roaring loudly, Captain Kairut's hands clung to the rudder, the ravines of his cheeks filled with rain.
Finally, the storm ushered in its final madness.
Waves crashed against the ship's side, and the howling wind almost knocked down the sailors on deck, but it didn't take long for the howling wind and the surging waves to weaken.
There was a gleam on everyone's faces, and the experienced sailors could already tell that the storm hovering beside the steamship was already the end of the crossbow.
Eventually, the waves ceased to be raging, the howling winds were no longer fierce, and the sea, like a moody child, had enough of it, and then returned to calm.
Everyone had the expression of the rest of their lives on their faces, and they sat on the ground one after another.
A faint mist filled the perimeter of the ship, and everything around them was full of silence, which felt unreal, but in any case, they were out of danger.
The tense muscles relaxed, and the hands that held the rudder slowly loosened, and Captain Kerut slowly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was in collapse. The weather-beaten face was almost unconscious from the rain.
Below deck, the survivors who were locked up in the room heard the sound of rain on the deck stop, and their faces did not feel much joy because they had survived the storm safely, but the fear in their pupils became more and more intense.
The sailor's apprentice, who stood at the door with his arms crossed, whistled at him.
"Be happy, we've made it through the storm and nothing can stop us."
"Let me go, I'll disembark here." Wrapped in a quilt, the sailor shuddered.
The sailor apprentice looked at him like an idiot, not understanding how he could say such a thing.
After the storm stopped, Jiang Feng returned to the deck from the cabin, walked in the direction of the stern, and stopped next to Captain Kairut. Looking at the island behind the mist, his brow was full of solemnity.
"The port of Sevit is right in front of you...... Are we going to lean on it? Captain Kerut's tone was hesitant.
Even as a mortal, he sensed something was wrong from the strange atmosphere.
Jiang Feng was silent for a moment, and then said, "Don't lean over first...... Put a small boat down, and I'll take a few people over to have a look. β
"I'll take someone with me, you just stay on the ship and wait for news." Captain Kerut hesitated.
Jiang Feng shook his head, vetoed his proposal, and turned around and walked in the direction of the side of the ship.
