A pirate ship was sailing on the vast sea.
Although the weather after the storm was the clearest and best, and the sea was calm and sparkling, the pirates on the ship had no time to enjoy this beautiful scenery. They were repairing the ship under the scolding of their captain.
Their ship looked tattered at the moment. There was nothing they could do about it. The stormy weather was extremely damaging to wooden ships. The pirates were lucky enough to be able to survive the storm. If even the ship was fine, then it would not be a pirate ship but a ship of Sea God.
In the battle against the storm last night, the pirates had exhausted a lot of their strength. Before they could rest for long, they were urged by their captain to repair the ship, so they were naturally unwilling. When they hammered, they treated the nails as their stingy captain and gritted their teeth while cursing.
The sunlight on the sea was especially strong. Even in the morning, the pirates quickly became drenched in sweat, and a strong stench constantly emitted from their bodies. Most of these pirates who sailed on the sea did not bathe for many years. Not only did they not bathe, but they also rarely shaved and trimmed their nails. Therefore, as long as you looked at a man with a face full of dirty stubble and long nails full of black dirt, there was no doubt that he was a sailor without a doubt.
While repairing the ship and scrubbing the deck, the pirates chatted. Although such a chat could easily turn into a fight in the blink of an eye, no one would stop them at all. They would only cheer loudly and think of ways to participate. To pirates, this was a kind of entertainment in the boring life at sea.
Many pirates, in such a boring life, would often accumulate a large amount of energy that they had nowhere to vent. Therefore, every time they encountered a battle, they would become especially fierce because only robbing and killing could release this energy.
On the mast, the black pirate flag of the pirate ship was fluttering. This pirate group did not have a famous name, but because their thirteenth captain was called Reed, the pirate group was called the Reed Pirates. If the captain was changed, the name of the pirate group would also be changed.
Don't doubt it. On a real pirate ship, the frequency of changing captains was quite fast. For pirates who did not know what loyalty and trust were, they might rebel and change their captain one day just because they drank a few mouthfuls of rum …
On the lookout tower, a pirate was holding a monocular and observing the situation on the sea. Being a pirate was not easy, because they were always facing danger. Their opponents could be the Royal Navy, or they could be other pirates. Even in such a good situation, they could not let their guard down.
Slowly turning the monocular to change directions, the lookout's vision flashed past the front of the pirate ship, but something seemed to have caught his attention, so he quickly pulled it back and looked straight ahead again.
There was clearly nothing in that direction just now. Why was there a small black dot in that direction now?
The lookout stretched the monocular in his hand as far as he could, trying to see what it was, but unfortunately, the clarity of the monocular was not good enough.
However, as the ship continued to move forward, the lookout finally recognized what the black dot was.
It was … a figure!
The lookout could not help but tremble because he found that this figure seemed to be standing on the sea!
There were too many strange things on this sea. The more curious a person was, the earlier they died. So even though the lookout could not see what the figure looked like and why it could stand on the sea, he could not help but yell at the pirates below, "Turn! Turn! Don't go any further! "
The lookout planned to make the pirate ship deviate from the direction of the figure as much as possible. Although the pirates did not know what was going on, they still cooperated and turned the steering wheel.
Although they turned, after the pirates learned what happened, they could not help but put down the work in their hands and ran to the side of the ship, intending to see what was going on when the ship passed by the position of the figure.
Not long after, the ship passed by the position of the figure, and when the pirates saw the figure's appearance, they could not help but take a deep breath!
It was a skeleton in a gorgeous robe!
She floated on the surface of the sea. The surface of the sea under her feet was frozen ice. Her empty eye sockets swept across every pirate on the side of the ship as the pirate ship passed by. Every pirate who met her gaze felt their blood run cold at the same time.
"God! What the hell is that!? "
The pirates drew crosses on their foreheads. Those who had amulets also took out their strange amulets and held them tightly in their hands.
"Quick, get out of here! This sea is very ominous! "The pirates hurriedly moved in the chaos. They puffed up the sails and tried to escape.
However, at this moment, a pirate screamed at the top of his lungs, "She … She's following us!"
The pirates hurriedly looked back. As expected, the skeleton in the robe had actually left the sea where she was standing and was floating towards the pirate ship.
"Damn it! Quick! Go to the bottom of the ship and take out the oars to row hard! We have to get rid of her! "The captain of the pirate ship roared.
However, before the pirates could run down the cabin, their ship had already been caught up. The skeleton in the robe suddenly rushed up, crossed the side of the ship, and landed on their deck.
"Undead! She's a real undead! "
Looking at the moving skeletons, the pirates screamed like ducks being called, their voices hoarse.
Only Captain Reid was still calm. He roared, "Shut up! So what if she's an undead? Take out your crosses and think of a way to force her to retreat! "
Hearing this, the pirates' bravery was finally awakened. A one-eyed pirate held a cross that he had snatched from his companion in one hand and a saber in the other. He shouted, "I'm not afraid of you!" to boost his courage and then rushed towards the skeleton in the robe.
However, when he slashed at the skeleton in the robe, the skeleton in the robe dodged it gently. In the next second, its small, bony hands were placed on the pirate's body.
Crack! Crack! Crack! A continuous sound could be heard. A layer of frost quickly spread on the pirate's body. The sudden cold air froze the pirate.
Taking advantage of the pirate's inability to resist, the skeleton in the robe suddenly opened its hands and inhaled at the pirate.
As the skeleton inhaled, a faint green mist floated out of the frozen pirate's body and was absorbed by the skeleton. As the mist continued to be absorbed, the frozen pirate began to age at a speed visible to the naked eye. His originally sturdy muscles became shriveled, and wrinkles appeared on his plump skin. In a short while, his entire body became as thin as a stick.
In the end, the frozen pirate fell. When he touched the deck, his brittle body broke into several pieces …
"It really can … increase magic power …"
After Cassandra sucked the pirate's life force dry, she said this.
The other pirates who had witnessed this scene felt a bone-chilling coldness spread from the depths of their hearts. It was already very strange that the undead in front of them could move under the sun. In the blink of an eye, she had sucked a burly man into a dried corpse and could still speak. How ferocious was this undead?!
"Ten … crosses don't seem to be useful!" a pirate said in fear with a sullen face.
"Idiot! What's the use of just holding it?! "Captain Reed said with a headache." Use the crosses on her! "
Upon hearing his words, a pirate holding a cross in his hand immediately handed it to his captain. Then the group of pirates looked at him eagerly. Their meaning was obvious: Captain, why don't you try it?
"I …" Captain Reed was so angry that he almost cursed. Although he had made a suggestion, he actually wanted his subordinates to go first!
But when he saw the expectant gazes in the pirates' eyes, he knew that if he retreated, his men might cut him down first.
If the captain did not take the lead, could he still count on the pirates under him to fight bravely against the undead?
Left with no choice, Reed could only hold the cross and carefully approach Cassandra. As he approached, he pointed the cross at her. "Unclean undead, this is the world of the living! In the name of the Lord, I order you to leave this ship immediately! "
The cross represented the church. In the sky above the ship, when Roy saw Reed pointing the cross at Cassandra brazenly, he had already sentenced this stupid guy to death in his heart …
As expected, Cassandra flew into a rage when she heard his words!
Because her mother had been burned to death by the people of the church because of this' in the name of the Lord '!
A gust of cold air spread out from under Cassandra's feet, blowing her skirt up. Cassandra did not have much magic power to begin with, and she did not have much combat experience. So in the beginning, she had followed the method that Roy had given her and planned to deal with these pirates one by one steadily. But when Reid's actions angered her, she erupted all her magic power without a care.
The cold air swirled and blew on everyone's body. The pirates shivered from the cold air, and their remaining fighting spirit was completely frozen.
They did not want to become like the burly man from before. While their captain, Reed, was entangled with Cassandra, the pirates jumped into the sea one by one.
In the sky, Roy shook his head. Cassandra's magic power was low to begin with. Her sudden eruption of magic power seemed very fierce, but in fact, she could not freeze a single pirate. Instead, she gave them a chance to escape …
