Chapter 159: No one alive, no corpse dead
Mu You raised his head and swept around.
At this time, he was at the exit of the teleportation array in another city, and there was an entrance to the teleportation array not far away, and there were also some people queuing, but the number of people could be counted with one hand.
Obviously, this place called Haim City is much more remote than Sunset City, and there are relatively few people who can afford to sit in the teleportation array.
After some grinding, it was almost three o'clock in the morning at this moment, Mu You didn't stay in this city, he went straight out of the city gate, found a remote wasteland in the mountains and forests outside the city, and put down a dark teleportation array in a stone crevice.
Then switch to the vampire skin and head straight to the sea to the south at full speed.
By the time he ran all the way to the beach, it was six o'clock in the morning, and some fish belly white was revealed on the horizon.
When the morning came, the vampire's attribute bonus was already close to nothing, and the effect of the lethargic curse began to run rampant, and Mu You simply cut back to the fisherman's skin.
But how do you cross the sea next?
Mu You reopened the map and looked at it, don't look at the map, the sea side is only a palm-sized distance from the triangular sea area, in fact, it is switched to a real distance, not to mention hundreds of nautical miles!
It was up to him to swim through on his own, and one day was definitely not enough!
Mu You was thinking about whether to go into the water and find a mount like a blue-scaled seahorse, when he suddenly noticed that there was a small boat floating on the shore in front of him, and two people were talking to the boat, one was standing on the shore and the other was standing on the boat, looking like the owner of the boat.
The reason why Mu You paid attention to these two people was because he found that both of them were players.
[Level 10 player (out of the hole), attributes: strength 20, agility 21, intelligence 19, constitution 25, health 2500, mana 1900, currently loaded skin: boatman.] 】
[Level 4 player, attributes: strength 10, agility 10, intelligence 7, constitution 4, health 400, mana 700, currently loaded skin: none.] 】
A level 10 veteran player, a newcomer who doesn't even have skins.
The two of them also spotted Mu You in the distance at this time, and one of the 10th-level boatmen immediately waved at him from afar.
"This brother, do you need a boat? We're heading out to sea! ”
Ninety-five percent of those who appear alone at the beach at this time are probably players.
Mu You didn't care, this boatman seemed to be a player who specialized in carrying people to sea here to make money. In today's tense situation, there must be a player who is chased and killed and escapes to the beach, and this person is waiting here, temporarily rescued, and can make a small amount of money, which is really a good job.
Mu You approached, but just a few steps closer, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong.
The two of them seem to be negotiating the price of going to sea, and the new player looks quite normal, talking for a while, obviously the player is controlling the game and typing, so the conversation is intermittent.
However, the veteran player on the ship spoke very smoothly and acted in a very natural manner, completely different from the other players he had seen along the way.
Seeing this scene, Mu You suddenly had a suspicion in his heart: Could it be that this boatman is also like him, a real person who came to this world through the door?
Thinking of this possibility, Mu You was silent, continued to approach the past quietly, and asked about the price of the boat.
When he spoke, he imitated the appearance of the new player next to him, and deliberately behaved very dull.
The boatman really didn't notice the abnormality, and while answering, his eyes quietly wandered over Mu You.
Mu You didn't reveal any special treasures at this time, except for the magic wand and the muddy shoes on his feet, which were magic items, everything else was stored in the backpack.
"To go to sea, to the opposite coast, it takes four years to live. You can pay a one-year deposit upfront and pay the rest when you get to the location. The young boatman specifically looked at Mu You's words, obviously he had already negotiated the price with the rookie player just now.
Mu You deliberately paused for a few seconds before nodding mechanically: "Yes." ”
[You agreed to a shipping deal with the boatman, lifespan -1.] 】
"Alright, let's get on board."
Mu You followed the rookie player and got into the boat, while the boatman went to the bow of the boat and paddled to start the boat.
The boat slowly swam in the water, gradually increasing its speed.
Through the omniscient crystal, Mu You found that this small boat was still a blue rare prop, and it was moving much faster than he imagined.
[Light Boat with the Wind: A light boat that can move quickly in the water, carrying up to four people, can use the energy of the sea breeze to double the speed when downwind and halve the speed when upwind. 】
Sitting on the boat, Mu You learned the movements of the rookie player, staring ahead without squinting, like an emotionless robot.
However, the afterglow could see that the boatman glanced back at the two of them from time to time, and his eyes flashed with obvious greed.
In addition, the direction of the boat's swimming was not towards the opposite shore, but directly riding the direction of the wind and swimming towards the depths of the sea at full speed, Mu You knew that this person's purpose was definitely not pure.
And the reason why Mu You knew that there was fraud and got on this ship...... Mainly because he had his eye on the ship.
He is also a master of art, just a tenth-level player, he doesn't think that the other party is his opponent, not to mention that there is a fishman mask, he can go into the water at any time, and he is completely empty at this time.
After an hour of quiet driving, the sea in front of me suddenly became thick.
Layers of turbid miasma floated on the surface of the sea, and along the surface of the sea, it formed a straight line leading to the horizon, which looked extremely strange.
The boat sailed into the miasma without slowing downwind, and the three of them suddenly felt soaked in the miasma, and their breathing and movements became a little uncomfortable.
Mu You estimates that this should be the so-called 'Devil's Triangle'.
Sure enough, a prompt came to my head.
[You have entered the Devil's Sea, pay attention, die here, you will have no chance of resurrection. 】
At this time, Mu You noticed that the boatman took out a transparent dough and covered it on his face.
Well, something familiar, a fish-man mask.
He deliberately dragged them to the Devil's Sea, and put on a mask to breathe underwater...... Mu You suddenly understood what this person wanted to do.
If you drown here, the NPC will turn into a ghost and cannot be resurrected, but what about the player?
I don't know if the player who becomes a ghost will be deleted by the game, but a player who can't be resurrected will have all his property exposed!
At this time, the rookie player had obviously received the game prompt, and immediately got up and asked the boatman, "What's going on?" Didn't you go to the other side? What is the Devil's Sea? ”
"Hehe, don't blame me for being ruthless, it's not easy to make some money these days, so I'll send you here!"
The boatman sneered, and as he spoke, the wand in his hand was already swung out, and a flaming missile took shape at great speed, whistling towards the opposite side.
But it was not for the newcomer, but for Mu You.
Among the two people, Mu You is obviously stronger, even if the young man does not have an omniscient crystal, this simple judgment can still be made, at this time, he must give priority to solving the threat, as for the new one, he can be slapped to death in a few slaps.
The young man had already prepared a series of follow-up attacks, but what he didn't expect was that Mu You didn't dodge in the face of the incoming missile, as if he didn't react, he was smashed by the missile, screamed, and was smashed into the water with flames burning all over his body.
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.
It's not like he's never seen this before.,The game hangs up.,It's impossible for people to stare at it for a long time without blinking.,Maybe at this time, people are just not in front of the phone.,No one controls the game character.,Naturally, you can't react.。
It's much easier to smash this threatening one into the water!
The boatman immediately turned to attack the newcomer, and several attack spells were cast in succession.
The poor newcomer only has 400 health points, where can he withstand this kind of fire bombardment, and without even making a serious resistance, his blood bar will be zero, and he will fall to the ground unwillingly.
And when he died, the flesh and blood all over his body suddenly dissolved quickly as if it was corroded by strong acid, and in the blink of an eye, only a thin and shrunken white bone skeleton remained, and next to the skeleton, a few things fell out.
The boatman glanced at them a few times, they were all ordinary props of low value, and secretly cursed 'poor ghost', put away his things, kicked the skeleton off the boat, and then jumped into the sea himself.
Originally, he didn't expect a newcomer with no skin to burst out of anything, his real target was the old player who had just fallen into the water.
After jumping into the water, the boatman dived all the way down to the spot where the man had just fallen into the water. If the man had been left uncontrolled, he would have sunk to the bottom and drowned in no time.
And even if someone rushes back to control it, it will be too late, he has a breathing mask, and others in the water cannot be his opponent.
The boatman clenched his wand and prepared for battle. However, it wasn't until he swam all the way to the bottom of the sea and searched the neighborhood that he never saw a trace of the man.
"Not good!"
There was no one alive, no corpse was dead, and the boatman finally noticed that something was wrong, could it be that the man did not hide his death, but took advantage of him to enter the water and swam back to the boat?
The boatmen hurried back to the surface.
However, what made him even more desperate happened, at this moment the sea was empty, and his boat was gone!
"Damn, I've been tricked!" The boatman cursed, but quickly calmed down.
In such a short period of time, even if the other party sailed away, it would be impossible for him to escape from his field of vision so quickly......
Then there is only one possibility: the other party also has the means to breathe underwater, and it is likely that he fell into the water on purpose just now, with the purpose of luring him into the water and then coming back to steal his boat!
In this case, it is very likely that the other party is still nearby at this time, maybe he is hiding somewhere watching him!
The boatman shuddered, the enemy was in the dark and he was in the light, and it was in such irreviable waters, and he admitted that he was indeed afraid.
Without having time to think about it, he hurriedly took out a new small boat from his backpack, rowed desperately, and urgently sailed out of this sea area.
It wasn't until the prompt to leave the 'Devil's Sea' came to his mind that he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the man should also have scruples about him, and did not dare to take the initiative to attack.
However, the shipwright did not have time to relax at this time, and lost a ship of great value, and now the spare ship was much slower, and there was not much time left, he had to hurry back, otherwise if the closing door was delayed, it would be miserable to be left here.
The boatman hurriedly set up the boat and swam in one direction, and soon sailed away from the vicinity.
Shortly after the boatman left, Mu You emerged from the water, looked at the direction the boatman left, silently dived into the water, and continued to chase after him.
In fact, he was fully capable of leaving this person in that water forever, and the reason why he deliberately let him go was to follow the other party and see where the 'door' where this person came was hidden.
