Edith carried an ornamented elven sword, the blade of which emitted a faint cyan glow.

She stood on the raised platform at the bow of the ship, her face tensed, observing the situation around the Nautilus.

There are countless water spirits floating on the surface of the sea, stretching into the darkness that is beyond the eye to reach.

The crew and elven warriors of the Nautilus lined up on the deck to cut off the heads of the water spirits that kept climbing up from both sides of the hull and carried them back into the sea.

It's just that a large number of water ghosts keep climbing up from the sea, and they can't be killed.

The captain of the Nautilus, a seasoned sailing captain of the Ellington family, was also a little embarrassed by the water spirits, and the captain had a scar on the left side of his cheek.

This is rare among elves, because even if they are injured, drinking the sap of the Tree of Life regularly will not only heal the wound, but also erase the scar.

However, the scar on the captain's face appeared to have been scratched by sharp claws, taking on a distinctive dark red color.

His eyes were steady, and with a cutlass at his waist, he crossed the deck and came directly behind Edith.

"How can there be so many water ghosts here?"

Edith frowned, turned to the captain and asked.

This time she went to sea to hold a sea ball, not to go to sea to explore and hunt for curiosities, why did she make it so thrilling......

The captain looked around, and with the hilt of his sword in his hand, he cut off the head of a water ghost that had climbed up from the bow of the ship, and the water ghost fell into the sea.

The captain said to Edith:

"I drove the boat here, originally intended for everyone to watch the sunrise here, there is a reef nearby, which can only be seen at low tide, and the sunrise here is the most beautiful every morning, and the Nautilus has stopped here several times before, and I have never encountered this situation."

Standing side by side with the captain, Edith swung her elven sword and slew a water spirit, whose head rolled down the bow of the ship, and Edith's body was thrown into the sea.

The water spirits were covered in rotting flesh and had an extremely strong stench.

"Are there any casualties?"

Edith asked.

The captain said, "The six crew members died, all of them were water ghosts who had crept up secretly...... Bite to death in your sleep. ”

"Well, what are we going to do now, can we get out of here?"

Edith, enduring the stench and intense vertigo, Edith asked the captain.

The captain frowned, and leaned on the side of the ship to look at the sea below, where the water spirits were densely stacked on top of each other, forming a mountain of corpses, constantly climbing up the Nautilus.

"The sea below the ship is full of water ghosts, I'm afraid it won't be able to sail!" The captain said.

Edith had a hint of worry in her eyes.

The captain hurriedly relieved Edith:

"But...... Miss Edith don't worry, I've been out to sea before, and I've met this kind of water spirit, but the first few times there weren't so many, these water ghosts are afraid of the sun, as long as we stay on the boat, and when the day comes, all of them will return to the bottom of the sea. I'll lead all the crew on deck......"

Edith nodded lightly with some hope in her eyes, and said to the captain:

"I will also organize all the elven warriors who can fight together, take turns to guard the deck, and strive to hold out until dawn......"

……

After Edith finished speaking, she walked towards the young elves who were fighting, she needed to mobilize one by one.

She was the first to come to Roy and Claire.

Roy stood in the narrow aisle between the ship's building and the ship's side, holding a scepter in his hand, and constantly smashed the heads of some of the water spirits that climbed up from below, and the corpses of these water spirits would fall back into the sea.

There were so many water ghosts that Roy looked tired......

Claire stood aside, every time Roy used his shield to block the water ghost, he was the one who mended the knife, the sharp dagger in his hand was stained with the stench of rotting corpses, Claire's face turned iron-blue, and there were obviously some signs of poisoning.

There was a divine glimmer floating above Roy's head, and every water ghost that emerged from the side of the ship would be hit by this shimmer......

Roy and Claire took the opportunity to rest against the wall of the ship, Claire took out a horn-shaped container from her magic fanny pack, pulled out the cork on it, poured the sap of the Living Tree into the cup, and handed it to Roy.

At this time, Roy did not postpone it anymore and drank the sap of the Tree of Life directly.

Claire poured the remaining half of the Tree of Life sap into her stomach.

"I heard that you were the first to find these water ghosts on board?" Edith walked over and asked Roy and Claire.

"Roy woke me up."

Claire said to Edith as she wiped the dagger with a silk handkerchief.

Roy shook his somewhat numb right arm and explained:

"I slept a little lightly, I didn't know how to wake up, maybe it was the holy light in my body that woke me up."

Rotting arms stretched out from underside of the ship, and Edith swung a sword that cut off the arms like leeks.

"Anyway, thank you both."

Edith said to Clark and Roy.

At this time, more water ghosts climbed up from below, and Edith, Claire, and Roy killed more than a dozen water ghosts that climbed up from below in one go.

"How can there be so many water ghosts here?"

Roy saw countless water spirits floating in the water below the ship, and asked Edith.

Edith replied dryly, "I don't know yet, but I'll give you an explanation." ”

From above the ship's tower, Phyllis shouted:

"All the elves on the left side of the ship take two steps back, and pay attention to defense."

The sound was not loud, the crew and elven warriors on the deck could hear it clearly, the elves' execution was still very high, and everyone took two steps back almost at the same time.

Some of the water spirits took the opportunity to step over the side of the ship and stand directly on the deck.

At this moment, an ice spear flew out from the top of the ship's building, exploding on the side of the ship, a large amount of ice chips splashed, and an extremely cold aura spread to all sides, and all the water ghosts were stained with a layer of frost.

Then ice bombs flew out from the top of the building and landed on the water ghost on the left side of the ship.

The ice bombs continued to explode, and the water ghosts were covered in frost, and some of the water ghosts were shattered by the ice bombs......

When the wave of ice bombs was over, the elven warriors on the side rushed up and cut off the heads of these water ghosts covered in frost and threw them into the sea.

There was a bitter battle on the Nautilus.

……

Roy held a water ghost against his shield and smashed it on the head with the Holy Scepter......

What Roy didn't expect was that two water ghosts appeared behind this water ghost at the same time, and four arms grabbed Roy at the same time.

Claire hurriedly came over and took the opportunity to cut off the head of a water ghost.

The other water ghost's big hand grabbed Roy's shoulder, and his body jerked upward, opening his mouth to bite Roy......

An arrow shot overhead and plunged into the water ghost's head with unmistakable precision, and the water ghost's head exploded, staining Roy's face with foul-smelling liquid.

Roy took the opportunity to push the muddy water ghost under the ship, and looked up just in time to see that Bertha was holding a battle longbow in her hand, holding the railing with one hand, and making all careful gestures to him......

Untie the water bladder from your waist and pour the water inside on your face to wash away the foul-smelling corpse fluid.

On the deck of the Nautilus, some of the Silver Moon Elves had already withdrawn and sat on the deck to rest.

It's just that the water ghosts are still climbing up, and the battle continues......

……

Roy and Claire walked along the ship's path, and as the number of elves participating in the battle gradually increased, the two moved to the stern of the ship little by little.

Due to the structure of the hull, there is a huge rudder underneath.

There are many fewer water ghosts climbing up from the sea here, and the pressure is naturally much less.

Leaning against the back wall of the ship, his shield and body stained with foul-smelling corpse fluid, Roy pulled out a water bladder from his magical waist bag and poured water on him.

Claire wasn't as embarrassed as Roy, he wore the Thorntail Crystal Lion's skin armor, and with his nimble gait, he completely avoided the splatters of corpse fluid......

The number of water ghosts here is relatively small, and after the two of them fight back, they can even take a break.

Just as Roy slammed the body of a water ghost into the sea with his shield, he glanced at the surface of the sea with a sense of feeling.

There is a faint fog floating around the surface of the sea, and visibility is poor.

But in the darkness, a black figure emerged from the churning water, and the black dagger stirred in the sea, and the surrounding water spirits sank into the sea one after another.

The figure of Xiu, the Naga killer, suddenly emerged from the sea, and his upper body was exposed to the surface of the sea......

Roy just happened to see Xiu.

With his strong arms, Naga Killer Xiu crawled over the water ghost, wiggling his powerful tail fin, and climbed over the water ghost like a sea serpent onto the Nautilus.

Seeing a Naga warrior rushing up from the sea, the elven warrior next to him was startled.

"How did you get here?"

Roy hurriedly stopped Claire, who was about to make a move, and asked Xiu.

Xiu and Roy bumped their fists, then pointed towards the dark sea, and said to Roy in a jerky elven language:

"Roy...... Help! ”

He knew a little elf, and he couldn't tell what it was.

There was a pleading look in his eyes, and he made a battle gesture to Roy, and without waiting for the elven warrior next to him to lean over, he turned around and jumped into the sea......

Roy was a little dumbfounded, and the sea below was crowded with water ghosts.

If he jumped into the sea with Xiu, he would simply deliver food to these water ghosts.

Xiu surfaced and immediately began to strangle the surrounding water ghosts, and motioned for Roy to jump down......

Claire on the side was a little dumbfounded.

Roy thought that Xiu must be in trouble, and he believed that Xiu would not harm himself, so he relented and said quickly to Claire beside him:

"Claire, you're not good at water, just wait for me on the boat, a friend called me, I'll go see what's going on down there!"

After speaking, under Claire's call, he jumped into the sea.

Roy jumped into the sea, and a large amount of seawater poured into the thick leather armor, and his movements became extremely sluggish, only to realize that it was difficult to swim in the sea with thick leather armor......

As his body sank into the sea, Roy struggled to the surface.

Even if he saw that the surroundings were crowded with water ghosts, Roy couldn't fight in the sea at the moment.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Xiu, who was swinging a huge fishtail, like a nimble sea snake, suddenly appeared from behind him, grabbed Roy's armpits with both arms, and pushed Roy to quickly dive from the sea, past countless water ghosts......

In fact, Xiu didn't swim far with Roy.

Just when Roy needed to breathe, Xiu hurriedly lifted Roy out of the sea, Roy took a big breath of fresh air, and a pitch-black sea reef appeared in front of him.

Surrounded by the corpses of stenching water ghosts.

Roy looked behind him, and in the darkness of the night, he could only see a small light on the ship......
