Chapter 188: The Sea Forged by White Bones (Second Watch)
Beneath the thick and year-round gray mist, an endless sea of bones converges into a sea of dead remains, and only a lonely island appears right in front of the vision.
Surrounded by an empty pale ocean.
This black island, with thick blood-colored clouds above it, looked very strange in the chaotic and unopened gray fog.
Chen Ye frowned slightly, under the observation of the pupil of luck......
With the black island as the center, there is an infinite whirlpool nearby, from an unknown place, swept towards this place, the black mist seems to turn into countless hands, through the sea of death, pulling countless creatures, to arrive here.
This scene made Chen Ye instinctively feel that a great conspiracy was brewing in secret.
It's like trying to ...... the entire City of Destiny
No!
Even more fate beyond the borders is involved.
The image of luck in front of me is incomprehensible, and I can only feel a magnificent weirdness, which makes people feel hopeless and powerless to fight.
But fortunately, this vortex has not really converged and formed, it is still in its early stages, and it is still slowly giving birth to something.
The center is ......
The golden ray, which symbolizes hope, connects the golden stars in Chen Ye's aura of luck.
It seems that in the midst of despair, there is still a chance for redemption!
"We have to speed up our approach to the island."
Ajaca stared at the sea of dead and said slowly:
"Don't delay too long, this area is dangerous."
Boom!!
The ghost ship headed forward, and the hull of the ship was actually on the surface of the sea of bones, walking forward.
Every distance it moves, it stirs up nearby bones to rip in both directions like water waves.
Meanwhile......
There was a clattering sound of bones colliding around the ghost ship.
The sound was so dense that it sounded similar to the crashing of the waves.
Ajef rested his hands on the rudder, his brow furrowed slightly.
He discovered that the Wind Riding trait of the Storm Helmsman was ineffective in this area.
The power of the ship here does not depend on the direction of the wind.
The only way forward can be adjusted by manipulating the rudder.
Whoa!
At this moment, the sound of the "wave" beating seemed to become more intense.
The bones under the ghost ship suddenly began to surge, and the frequency of ups and downs became faster and faster, and the amplitude became larger and larger.
The bones that surged up from the bottom of the ship lifted the ghost ship high and fell from mid-air.
Rumble!
The ghost ship was thrown heavily on the surface of the skeletal sea, and the whole hull shook violently, and the entire crew swayed and jolted violently, making it difficult to maintain balance.
"Be careful!"
"This sea of dead remains will be repulsive to the existence of beings from the outside world."
"It's going to attack us!"
Ajaca's eyes were solemn and he said in a deep voice.
Now.
With a resolute expression, Ajeff adjusted the rudder to keep the ghost ship as balanced as possible.
Avoid being swept over by a wave of bones.
Although the wind in this area cannot control the speed of the ghost ship, when it is thrown into the air, it can still control the hull of the ship to dive into the surface of the skeleton sea in a correct attitude through the manipulation of the air current.
No matter how high the waves set off by the skeleton and toss the ghost ship into the air, it is difficult to make a substantial impact.
Boom!
Once again, the ghost ship fell from the sky, slamming its hull into the sea of bones.
That's when ......
The bones on both sides were suddenly shocked by this force and flew into the air.
The bones, all humanoid skulls, flew high into the air, flying over the deck of the ghost ship, suddenly turning their heads at the same time and letting out a shrill laugh.
"Click!"
"Click!"
The laughter was like the friction sound of bones colliding, and it resounded at a very fast frequency.
When the laughter rang out......
The sailors on deck, again felt a wave of dizziness.
Bang!
The tide of bones is getting higher and higher, and the skeletons flying high in the sky are laughing weirdly.
The laughter seemed to carry some kind of mental impact quality.
If you listen to it for a long time, it will cause an extremely uncomfortable reaction and lose your combat ability.
There were already sailors lying on the deck, constantly vomiting, cold sweat on their foreheads.
Their limbs were limp, their bodies were paralyzed on the ground, and they were negatively affected.
But at this moment, an ethereal sound of the piano sounded, dispelling the mental shock.
All the sailors felt the pressure dissipate, and the mental impact of the strange laughter no longer affected them.
Chen Ye played the [Witch Strings], and with the characteristics of his [Soul Playing Electronic Music Master], he offset the spiritual impact.
The sailors suddenly regained their senses, raised their crossbows, and began to shoot at the flying skeletons, firing holy silver arrows!
Clang!
The Holy Silver Arrow struck the skull with a crisp sound.
However, the skeletons only flew off into the distance, but when they landed back on the surface, they continued to make a "click" sound, bouncing nearby.
Dawn's brow furrowed slightly, and she found that the Holy Silver Arrow could not be used to restrain these skeletons.
Generally speaking, if the Holy Silver Arrow can exert the property of [Sun] to dispel evil spirits, the hit object will have its own incineration effect, purifying the darkness with divine flames.
However, when the Holy Silver Arrow hit the skull, it only made the most primitive crisp sound, and it didn't even penetrate the bones......
The damage dealt is limited.
This means that the Sun trait has no restraint against these bones.
They are obviously a pile of corpses, but they turn out to have the characteristics of "living......
Shouldn't there be some kind of curse in it?
However, as a result, the Holy Silver Arrow was unable to do so, indicating that the effect of the [Sun] trait against these enemies was not very large.
"Click!"
"Click!"
The skeletons continued to let out strange laughs, bouncing higher and higher, laughing louder and louder.
A few skeletons actually jumped over the deck and onto the ghost ship, twitching and shaking on the ground while letting out strange laughter.
That's when ......
The skeleton suddenly bit down on a sailor next to it.
Clang!
The sailor next to him drew his long knife from his waist, bent sideways, and swung upwards at a range of one hundred and eighty degrees.
Before the skeleton could bite it, it was instantly shot into the sky and landed on the other side of the ghost ship.
However, the skeleton was struck by the sword, and its surface was surprisingly hard, leaving only a visible scar.
The skeleton chuckled a few more times, and then launched another biting attack at the nearby sailors.
"Don't shoot with holy silver arrows, use swords instead."
"These skeletons are not alive, what is needed is defense, to knock them off the ship."
"Arrange the iron cables, surround the hull, and create a dome of the dome to make it more difficult for the skeleton to jump up."
An idea that could be captured by the deep subconscious of the brain echoed in the ears of all the crew members as the sound of the piano sounded.
Dawn, Matthew and other players looked to the side in surprise, only to see that Chen Ye was concentrating on playing, but this idea was transmitted through the strings in the other party's hands.
That's a completely different pattern of verbal communication.
It's as if you can understand the meaning just by using music.
This method of communication is more efficient, simply playing the strings, and the brain waves automatically receive this thought, and in just a second or two, you can quickly understand the information that previously required a large number of words to analyze.
In actual combat, the battlefield is unpredictable, and often the enemy's attack has already come before the command is given.
Even if the general knows how to fight, if the speed of the command is not fast enough, it will be scattered and fall into chaos.
Therefore.
Controlling so many sailors and directing battles is not an easy task even for Commander Storm.
But Chen Ye played the strings, as if he was pouring his thoughts directly into the ears of the soldiers.
The cost of information transmission is greatly reduced.
Moreover, the other party's experience is very sophisticated, and having such a player to command the battle makes Chenxi and the others feel more at ease.
"Listen to him!"
Ajaca's voice echoed throughout the ghost ship, and without hesitation, he gave the Seagod's heir an order to obey Chen Ye's orders.
At this time.
More and more skulls, jumping onto the ghost ship.
A big war unfolds.
The Dead Skull plays a baseball-like game with the sailors.
The sailors swung their swords and knocked the skeletons that jumped up into the air.
Once they get acquainted with how the enemy fights, the game becomes simpler.
There's no need to dwell on unkillable skulls.
The first time, use the most correct posture to knock the skeleton as far away as possible to protect the ghost ship from falling.
Essentially, it's an offensive and defensive type of game.
All you need to do is protect the ghost ship forward, protect the Adef standing at the rudder, and the Storm Commanders who can harness the wind.
[Storm Commanders] are not only commanders, they have excellent wind control skills, and often help Adef and Ajaca manipulate the air flow and control the hull of the ghost ship, playing a supporting role.
Boom!
A dull sound echoed from the side of the ghost ship's deck.
At this point, Miss Puppet removed the coffin from her shoulder, and her neck split into silver threads that were attached to the puppet's body.
The next moment......
The puppet sat up suddenly, twisting its body, and all six arms drew its sword, knife, spear, spear, shield, and bow and arrow behind its back at once.
Sou!
There was a sound of breaking the air, and the puppet traveled to the densest area of the battlefield at a very fast speed.
Each swing was much greater than the strength of the sailors, and it directly flew the skeleton far away.
A skull suddenly tore through the blind spot of one of the sailors' vision, and was about to bite the major artery in his neck.
With the sharpness of the bone teeth, if the bite is critical, it is enough to kill the sailor on the spot.
Sou!
A cloud-piercing arrow spanned most of the battlefield and landed far into the skeleton's skull.
The laughter came to an abrupt end, and the entire head was carried high into the air by the arrow, flying over the ghost ship and landing in the vast sea of dead in the distance.
Puppets are machines built entirely for combat, allowing them to use multiple weapons at once, as well as their bows and arrows to assist other sailors from a distance and support their teammates.
"Now...... It's finally working. Miss Puppet smiled knowingly and threw herself into the battle.
The well-developed nerves in her neck, forming nano-like silver wires, can also wrap around nearby skulls and throw them directly into the distance.
The role played is not small.
A dozen sailors swung their chains and stretched across the deck, knocking the side skulls into the air while sealing the hull with chains.
This chain is one of the tools used by the Poseidon in naval warfare, which can be used to build iron cables to connect enemy ships, or to lock the limbs of giant deep-sea monsters and block their moving joints.
The chains are like wrapping rice dumplings, constantly spiraling upwards and increasing in height.
There was no way to seal the entire ghost ship in its place, but it was able to create a certain slope, leaving only a circular notch in the center, enough to deal with the bones that wanted to climb up.
The skeletons' heads had crossed the deck, but when they tried to jump up, they found that the height was not the same as expected.
I hit my head on the wire.
The skull slammed into Venus and fell back to the bottom of the ocean, thudging and smashing into a wave of bones.
The iron cable continues to extend upwards, forming a hollow and open arch with a slight amplitude, firmly protecting the ghost ship.
The skull can only bounce from the side, unable to fly into a large hollow open hole, and at most reach the area where the arch is tilted, and will roll down in an amplitude.
Knock the last skull left on the ship......
"Did it work?"
The crew of the ghost ship let out a long breath.
If you do this, you shouldn't have to worry about the skull running onto the deck.
And these laughter, under Chen Ye's performance, can also ignore the negative effects.
They love to laugh, so they laugh until they are old.
It doesn't hurt much anyway......
Click!
Click!
At this moment, the dead at the bottom began to assemble together, forming a complete figure.
Armed with swords made of bones and extraordinary mobility, these figures began to climb up the hull of the ghost ship!
