Chapter 131 128. Water Ghost
Dylan came to the blood-covered murder stool and picked it up.
For a moment, the pirates' gazes, almost condensed into substance, were all focused on Dylan.
If looks could kill, Dylan would have been killed dozens of times.
If Kaspar had not been killed, they would not have handed the initiative to Gerhard.
Gerhard also took a closer look at this middle-aged man who had previously had little presence - a man who was very secretive.
The scout Puji killed Casper by a surprise attack. No one knew his specific strength yet, but everyone silently classified Dylan as a gold-level player, a very sinister and vicious gold-level player.
Anyone who saw Caspar's death would feel the cruelty of it...
Retracting his gaze, Gerhard said loudly: "There should still be some time now, we need to concentrate all our strength! You have to call the people on the Blood Shark over as well. The Wind Feather is taller and more suitable for defense!"
"Defense? What enemy?"
"Now that everyone is here, what should we do with the Blood Shark?"
The pirates immediately started talking in chaos again.
"Shut up!"
The pirate's first mate suddenly yelled, and the two-meter-tall guy with a sledgehammer pointed at a pirate at random.
"You, go over there and explain things to the people on our boat!"
"I?"
The pirate being pointed at looked unwilling. In this situation, who knows what dangers might come if he swings back on the rope without a clear view...
Bang!
The sledgehammer came down without warning, and the pirate's head was instantly smashed into his chest by the first mate.
Then the first mate pointed to another pirate and said, "You go!"
The pirate said nothing and turned to carry out the order.
"What else do you want to do?" The pirate's first mate turned and looked at Gerhard.
Gulu——
The brutality of the pirate's first mate not only shocked the pirates, but also frightened Gerhard and the sailors.
Gerhard now believed what this guy said before, that if he dared to have any bad intentions, he would be killed on the spot.
Gerhard secretly pinched his fingers and then issued an order: "Everyone, take your weapons and anything you can throw, and disperse to guard the side of the ship. The enemy will come up from the sea! Don't let them get on board!"
"What kind of enemy is this? The Lost Souls?" The question was asked by the pirate second mate who had two scimitars hanging on his waist.
Everyone in the archipelago knows about the fog, and the most widely spread one is the Lost Soul.
These guys who got lost in the fog and eventually became like puppets are the most likely things to appear at the edge of the fog.
The so-called fight against the fog is mostly about dealing with these lost souls.
As for the depths of the fog, there are all kinds of theories, making it difficult to tell the truth from the false.
When the pirates heard that there was an enemy, they naturally thought of the Lost Souls first.
However, Gerhard shook his head. "No, at least they are not as weak as those Lost Souls at the edge of the fog. I don't know what these enemies are called. If I have to describe them by a name, Water Ghosts might be more appropriate. Their weakness is similar to that of the Lost Souls, which is their heads!"
After a pause, Gerhard added: "Of course, all my experience comes from my experience. It is not impossible to encounter something unexpected. You must stay alert and shout out if you find anything."
Nodding, everyone was arranged to guard the edge of the ship, and another ten sailors were arranged into the cabin.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Dylan was assigned to the stern of the ship, which he was most familiar with, with several pirates.
"Damn it, they didn't even give us a magic crystal lamp. What can we see?"
The three pirates complained and huddled together, obviously not wanting to deal with Dylan.
Coincidentally, Dylan thought so too.
"Boss, how is it?" Dylan asked in the fungus net.
"Nothing has been found yet."
Although [Magic Perception] and [Light Perception] are no longer useful, the scout still has [Sound Wave Detection] and [Air Flow Perception].
Unless the opponent is a ghost, he should not be able to escape the scouts' detection.
Time passed by minute by minute, and just as Dylan was becoming more and more depressed, the pirates behind him began to complain.
A flash of fire accompanied by a loud bang suddenly appeared from the fog, coming from the direction of the Blood Shark!
Then a huge ball of illumination light rose in the distance, allowing Dylan to vaguely see the crowds of people on the Blood Shark.
It seems that the plan to persuade the pirates on the Blood Shark to come over to defend together has failed, and they encountered the enemy first!
Snap——
A subtle sound was detected by the scout, but Dylan and the three pirates were still staring blankly at the Blood Shark in the distance and did not notice the sound.
"Dylan, here we come!"
The scout Puji's bladed tentacle suddenly pulled out along the edge of the boat, and the sound of the blade entering flesh was heard from below, but other than that, there was no other sound.
At the same time, he ran to the side of the scout Puji, looked down, and met a pair of eyes as white as dead fish.
The humanoid monster had ten bloodless fingers clinging to the hull, with translucent webbed membranes sticking between its fingers and sharp bone blades growing on the back of its hands.
The damp skin was an unnatural grayish white, and from time to time, slender shadows rose and moved beneath the skin, like some kind of parasitic leeches moving through the blood vessels.
There was a deep cut on the shoulder of this water ghost, which was caused by the attack of the scout Puji just now, but not a drop of blood came out of the wound.
In Lin Jun's eyes, this monster has no panel...
"The enemy is coming!"
Dylan, who was mentally prepared, remained calm and loudly reminded others, while stabbing forward with a sword.
The fine steel sword successfully pierced through the water ghost's head. The water ghost immediately lost the ability to move, and his hands fell off the side of the boat.
But it's far from over...
Snap——
Snap, snap, snap——
The sound of densely packed water ghosts climbing onto the boat came from below, and this time everyone heard it clearly.
One after another, the figures of water ghosts emerged from the fog below.
"So many! Can we kill them all?"
Dylan's scalp tingled as he watched, but he did not dare to stop for a moment. He ran back and forth, stabbing to death the water ghosts that tried to climb up within his guard range. The scout Puji also waved his blade whip to help.
The pirates behind him also became agitated, apparently there were also water ghosts coming to their side.
The whack-a-mole-like battle lasted for a long time. Dylan gradually became exhausted and his age disadvantage was clearly revealed.
After stabbing another water ghost to death, Dylan just wanted to take a breath when he heard the boss suddenly shout, "Get down!"
He fell to his knees in an instant, and the scout swung his blade whip past, and a headless water ghost lay down beside Dylan.
The water ghost is coming?
when?
Dylan turned around and saw that the three pirates behind him had lost their position!
Two pirates' bodies lay on the deck, and one was missing. He was so absorbed in the battle that he hadn't noticed.
"Go back to the front deck quickly!" Lin Jun said.
The rear deck can no longer be defended, so we have to join the three gold-class ships on the front deck.
Don’t know what’s ahead?
With such doubts, Dylan ran back to the front deck and saw a melee...
Water ghosts, pirates, and sailors were fighting on the deck. The water ghosts were not strong individually, and a silver-level warrior could handle them one-on-one, but they were outnumbered and kept coming, and many of them had been killed.
The good news is that the three gold-level ones have not been damaged for the time being. Although they look very miserable, at least they are still there.
The same is true on the Blood Shark, where you can see the wizard's magic attacks from time to time.
In fact, the strength displayed by this mage who had not yet met Lin Jun was far beyond Lin Jun's expectations. He was at least at the diamond level. However, Lin Jun couldn't understand why the gold-level Casper was the leader since the mage was the strongest?
After Dylan joined Gerhard and the others, the battle continued for a long time.
There were corpses everywhere under his feet, be they water ghosts, pirates, or someone else's. Dylan no longer had the strength to swing his sword.
As for Gerhard and the pirate ship's deputy, they were forced to disperse at some point in time.
Another water ghost got on all fours and pounced over with a kick.
With a flash of cold light, the water ghost's head was split in half and fell into the pile of corpses, just like its fellow creatures.
Scout Mushroom Hat stood dejectedly beside Dylan.
【Sound wave detection LV6】
It seems... there are no more water ghosts?
After Dylan regained some strength, he followed the scout and walked around on the corpses on the ground.
The only people left alive were Captain Gerhard and the pirate first mate.
Both of them were covered in wounds, and the pirate's first mate even had an arm broken.
As for the others, they are probably all buried in the pile of corpses.
boom!
A wave of magic came from the Blood Shark.
That diamond wizard is really good. He hasn't used up all his magic power yet. Although the interval between casting spells has become longer, he is still alive.
"Does this mean we have crossed the river?" the pirate's first mate asked in a hoarse voice.
The voice of this two-meter-tall ferocious giant was as weak as a mosquito at this moment.
Gerhard was speechless. He had been stabbed and had only survived thanks to a few bottles of potion and a little "survival wisdom". When faced with the question, he could only nod with difficulty.
This time was the same as what he encountered last time, a large number of water ghosts, and he just had to kill them all.
The few of them no longer had the same guard against each other as before. After all, the number of people left alive might not even be enough to sail the boat. If they didn’t cooperate, they would die…
The three of them were thinking about going to find the wizard later, hoping that there would be a few more survivors left on his side.
Wow——
It was the sound of waves being broken by the bow of the ship.
But the strange thing was not coming from the Blood Shark under them or next door, but... from the front?
In the thick fog, some huge existence is tearing open the veil of fog!
When they got closer, they could see clearly that it was a huge ship that was twice as tall as the Fengyu.
Unlike the utilitarian Wind Feather and Blood Shark, this giant ship has decorations that are different from the archipelago style.
In addition to the bronze bow of the sea monster statue, the huge hull is actually carved with exquisite patterns, and various colors of pigments form patterns with unique cultural characteristics.
Everyone was shocked by the size and beauty of the giant ship, only Lin Jun felt a little strange.
What are these rows of squares on the hull? Why do they look familiar?
