"Idol, idol, do you know my brother? Heka Shanlan, the man who lasts the longest!"
Ruth's chattering voice rang out incessantly, like a little sparrow, hovering around the [Purple and Green Sword].
"Um?"
"The longest duration?"
How do you know this?
Zheng Hao had no interest in the first two questions, but the last one was something no man could resist.
Zheng Hao looked at the Golden Crow ship traveling side by side with surprise. Ruth's innocent voice immediately came from inside the cabin: "Hehe! It's the [Talent] that lasts the longest!"
"My brother can last a full 100 seconds! Isn't that amazing?!"
"100S?"
"So your brother's boatwoman seems to be very happy?"
Zheng Hao's expression was strange, but Ruth's next sentence immediately brought his diverging thoughts back to the right track.
"Of course!"
"The Heca family's talent, [Delay], grants them the ability to restore and extend the duration of [Ship Girl Skills]. Although all members of our family possess this talent are [SS-rank], most of them only manage a maximum delay of 60-70 seconds!"
"Only Brother Shanlan can last 100 seconds!"
"100S!"
"Do you know how amazing this 100-second timer is? How satisfying it is for the [ship girl]?"
The innocent little girl unwittingly revealed information about the Heca family. Zheng Hao pondered, "This talent is indeed quite useful when used for skill recovery..."
"but..."
"What if [delay] were used in..."
"No... 100 seconds is too short!"
Jian Qinghan, who was beneath him, spoke silently, startling Zheng Hao.
Wow! My idol!
"What are you talking about? 100 seconds is short? Our clan's [Bullet Ship] is already incredibly excited if we encounter a navigator who can last 50 seconds of [Talent Time]..."
A pure and innocent voice came from inside.
Inside the Golden Crow, Golden Crow's face flushed red as he patted Rose, who was beaming with pride: "Ahem... Rose, what they're saying might not be about using the [Delay Talent] on [Ship Girl Skills]..."
"ah?"
"Then...what's it used for?"
"Shhh~"
"Shhh~"
As they spoke, the masts of the two ships had already spun straight into the spiderweb above.
Because the spiderwebs in Zone 5 were built at extremely low points, the slender sails acted like vertical knives, slicing through large sections of the web. Logically, the fragile webs should have continued to be stretched like this until the entire area of webs was torn apart...
but!
"Shhh~"
Just like the process of "making" candy, the more the sail pole pulls the spider web, the more fluffy and tangled the spider web becomes, and white silk cocoon-like things are faintly wrapped around the sail pole.
"Pfft~"
"Puff puff puff~"
Because the [Purple and Green Sword] moves faster, the cocoon-like substance condenses more quickly.
It was just a spider web, but a series of "chirping" sounds suddenly came from inside the cocoon-like thing!
"What?!"
"Pfft~"
Before Zheng Hao could react, the cocoon burst open, and a white spider the size of a bicycle suddenly tore it open. Its legs coiled around the mast of the Purple Sword, and it hung upside down with its claws open.
"Puff puff puff~"
Unlike other spiders, the white spider is covered in silk from head to toe as soon as it appears.
White cotton floss fell, and large spider webs, like fishing nets, began to cover and bind the [Purple and Green Sword].
"Zheng Hao..."
"So soft...so sticky..."
Jian Qinghan beneath him blushed, making tearing motions as he uncontrollably curled his lips into a smile.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
"Now is not the time to get excited. If this thing keeps spitting out webs, you might as well rename it 'Cotton'! Damn it... my vision is turning completely white, and its rotation speed is decreasing!"
"This is a slow death!!!"
Zheng Hao's expression turned anxious, and he immediately activated [Space Anchor Point]!
"Buzz~"
The ship, which had been traveling in a straight line, rippled and flickered before suddenly twisting and appearing in [Fifth Area - Starting Point].
"Puff puff puff~"
The spiderwebs covering the ship's hull were still sticky, and the [white spider] had been teleported along with them.
"Puff puff puff~"
It continues to tirelessly cast its spiderwebs, its entire body suspended in mid-air, resembling a "spiderweb showerhead."
"Zheng Hao! Zheng Hao!"
"If this continues, won't we be entangled and trapped forever?"
Jian Qinghan's excited voice echoed in the "captain's cabin," and Zheng Hao helplessly slapped his forehead: "How come I didn't see even a trace of fear on your face?"
"Hmm..."
"Hmm..."
"Who said I'm not scared?! I..."
"Ah~~~ So sticky!"
"......"
"I can't rely on you!"
"Hey! Fans! Can you do me a favor?"
Looking up at the Golden Crow ahead, a white spider was hanging upside down from its crimson hull, constantly spraying webs in an attempt to cover the Golden Crow.
"【Protective Yang Energy】!!!"
"Tengtengteng~"
On the crimson sails, a giant fireball is gathering.
The Golden Crow's "Protective Yang" passive ability has been used up, so it can only rely on sacrificing its "Endurance" to launch fireballs and repel the spiders.
"Bang!!!"
The swirling fireball suddenly exploded on the mast.
As the flames burned along the spider silk, the fine, white web was completely unaffected! In fact, the white spider perched on the mast, engulfed in flames, began to sway excitedly!
"It's over!"
"This spider isn't afraid of fire!!!"
"Boom!"
Flames engulfed the Golden Crow, and with the spiderwebs burning, the entire ship looked as if it were caught in a web of fire, and began to sway.
"no..."
"Fire is useless against it; at this rate, its [endurance] will be completely depleted..."
"Ruth..."
"you..."
[Golden Crow] looked nervously at Ruth, who covered her head and turned to Zheng Hao again: "Idol! Help!!! I declare...you are now my number one male god!"
"You're even more handsome than my brother!!!"
