Facing Zi's words, the contestant was flustered and exasperated.
“FUCK！ Because of this brat's meddling, our mission completion rate which was originally above 70% has plummeted to 51%! Back then, in order to hypnotize that Fokke family fool Morgan Fokke, the price we paid wasn't small. In the end, we had to let him see the Fokke family's treasure chest on the ship, before he finally made up his mind. Furthermore, for this mission, we forcefully stayed in 'I' difficulty ever since the end of the great naval battle. How many people died, and how much did we pay? If you have the guts, don't let him fall into my hands. That Davy Jones is truly vicious and merciless. Originally a death curse, but he actually transferred it onto his own ship and crew! “
Zi calmly replied.
"The transfer of the curse is part of the movie's plot, and isn't the reason why our mission completion rate plummeted. After Davy Jones received the curse, although he used his immense strength to forcefully suppress his impending death, the entire ship and his pirates were still transformed into specters due to Davy Jones's transfer of the curse. Furthermore, the Flying Dutchman was also corroded by the power of the curse, becoming a specter ship of the seas. They can travel between the underworld and the living world, and are responsible for guiding the souls of drowned souls to the underworld. As for the love between Davy Jones and the sea goddess Colibuso, the two turned against each other, and the story of Davy Jones losing his human form due to the curse, that is a later storyline. Our mission completion rate plummeted due to the fact that Morgan Fokke wasn't personally killed by Davy Jones, but by that octopus. "
At this moment, another contestant who seemed to have a rather high prestige stood out.
"No matter what, we've obtained what we wanted the most, and have basically achieved our objective. I'm willing to fork out 30% of this mission's bonus to compensate the rest of the party. As for this party's' I 'difficulty leader Bowen being killed, we will appoint a new party leader based on contribution. Let's hurry and return, before these pirates adapt to their new identities, then we won't be able to leave even if we want to! "
Following that, the other three core contestants, including Zi, also stood out to express their approval of this method. Finally, the commotion of the lower level contestants was pacified. After the internal conflicts were resolved, they naturally aimed their guns at the outside world. These contestants all glared at Sheyan with hatred. At present, they had all left their combat state and cursed at Sheyan, before vanishing into thin air.
Sheyan stood at the entrance of the cabin as he smiled nonchalantly. He didn't care about these threats at all. At this moment, he roughly understood that he had probably provoked a colossus. Bowen, who was killed by him, should be the leader of this group in the I difficulty. The remaining elite members must have participated in the 'Destruction of the Invincible Fleet' storyline from the II difficulty. They should have used some kind of powerful item, thus they could continue to stay after the storyline was completed, and continue to complete the powerful storyline mission of Davy Jones's curse.
Just as the female 'Zi' was about to leave, she suddenly whispered to Sheyan.
"Your thoughts are meticulous, and your strength is rather valiant. I sent three men to kill you, but you actually managed to kill one of my generals instead! But don't be too pleased, my abilities are suppressed in this difficulty, if not that 'Force Wall' would be enough to make you suffer. How about you work for me? Of course ….. that is if you can return alive from this world. "
After that, she drew a line from top to bottom with her finger. A line emitting a faint glow appeared in front of her. The line rapidly expanded into a glowing door, which Zi stepped into. The glowing door instantly vanished, leaving no trace of its existence behind. But in the instance that she disappeared, she still turned back to glance at Sheyan.
That female 'Zi's' eyes were originally as deep as the sea, brimming with a bewitching power that could cause one to indulge in. But in that instance, her gaze was like two incomparably sharp needles, piercing deeply into Sheyan's eyes!
In such a sudden change, Sheyan didn't even have the time to react. He instantly felt his mind buzzing and blanking out. Who knew how long it took for him to regain his breath. Instead, he found himself paralyzed on the ground. After regaining his consciousness, he immediately felt a tearing pain in his brain, and only after a while did he feel better. Suddenly, he felt a wet and slippery sensation on his face. Reaching out to touch his eyes, nose and ears, he discovered blood was gushing out!
Sheyan panted for a moment, before retrieving the battle log. He discovered that he was struck by an ability called 'Force Needle – Explosion'. Not only did it cause tremendous damage, it also caused him to be stunned for 8 seconds. Nevertheless, this ability obviously couldn't be unleashed so easily. Otherwise, with Zi's precise grasp of battle, he would've already tasted this ability, and wouldn't have been struck right before she left.
Suddenly, Sheyan recalled Zi's words before she left, and his heart trembled. That female's shrewdness and strength were truly the strongest amongst all the contestants he had met. Her final words definitely weren't without reason. But! Right now, he was on the Flying Dutchman, and was even the third officer. Although these pirates couldn't be exposed to the sun after their mutation, their strength had increased. Furthermore, he had just roared out, Davy Jones should've been grateful. Then what other fatal danger was there?
"Wait, wait!" Sheyan's forehead was suddenly dripping with cold sweat. "Third officer, he was the third officer of the Flying Dutchman!!! This meant that strictly speaking, he was also a member of the Flying Dutchman's crew … … and would also suffer from the curse that Davy Jones transferred over! That curse's might was exceedingly formidable, but it didn't seem fatal. But this also meant that it was extremely vicious in other aspects, to the extent that even Davy Jones couldn't avoid it and could only transfer it!
At this moment, Sheyan took a few deep breaths! He didn't feel any discomfort, but his heart couldn't help but surge with an intense shadow. He couldn't help but run towards the sailor's cabin in a daze. Then, he pulled down the mirror hanging on the cabin wall and aimed it at himself. Instantly, a chill surged up from his heart. Only to see his hair was starting to turn illusory and ghostly, and was slowly extending downwards. Sheyan immediately used his nightmare imprint to check his status and attributes, discovering that all his attributes were still in a normal state. The only abnormality was his innate ability: 'Endurance'.
The description of this ability originally gave off an exceedingly powerful feeling. Just by looking at it, one would feel exuberant and vigorous. However, at this moment, it was distinctly fading, as though it was being eroded by something and was still fading away. If it were to completely fade away, perhaps this innate ability would directly vanish! Witnessing such a scene, Sheyan didn't have time to ponder over it. He anxiously called out his nightmare imprint and requested to return to the nightmare realm. Instead, he was notified that he had been dragged into a battle state by that terrifying 'Force Explosion'. There was still an entire 70 seconds before the battle state ended.
Under such circumstances, Sheyan took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down. Based on this fading speed, even if his innate ability 'Endurance' was to vanish, it definitely wouldn't be able to last for 70 seconds. Several scenes rapidly flashed through his mind, finally stopping at the moment when those semi-ghostly pirates charged out, only to be scorched by the sun's rays. Sheyan's heart stirred, he pulled out 'Ambition' with a flip of his hand. In a flash, the pitch-black barrel spewed out blazing flames, as he fired towards the deck above him!
"Peng!" The wooden planks shattered into pieces, as a basin sized hole was blasted open on the deck. The blazing sun shone down onto Sheyan's body. Instantly, Sheyan felt an intense piercing pain all over his body. He clenched his teeth and endured for 10 seconds, before a warm sensation replaced it. It was as though he was soaked in hot water, as faint green smoke emitted from his head. However, he didn't feel any pain.
Sheyan once again checked his status, and discovered that the fading speed of his innate ability 'Endurance' was clearly decreasing. At the very least, it wouldn't be a problem for him to last for 70 seconds. It seems like the sun's rays had a strong restraining effect on that curse. Apart from that, this innate ability 'Endurance' wasn't that simple! Even a terrifying curse that Davy Jones couldn't endure could be directly resisted!
"Huu … …" Sheyan stood under the sunlight and exhaled deeply. He then started to ponder about the formidable party he had just encountered. Without a doubt, that mysterious woman 'Zi' was the core of that party. Just from her current display of abilities, that 'Force collision wall' could be said to be both offensive and defensive, while 'Force explosion needle' was an incomparably powerful control ability. Apart from that, if one were to say that her mysterious penetrating gaze didn't have any hypnotic abilities, Sheyan wouldn't believe it even with his toes.
Davy Jones had already reigned as the king of the seas for decades, his infamous reputation could even stop children from crying at night. No matter how hot-blooded and ignorant that unlucky kid Morgan Fokke was, he would definitely understand the immense disparity in strength between himself and that terrifying Davy Jones. Yet under such circumstances, he actually dared to put on a veil and bravely shoot at Davy Jones's back! If there wasn't any manipulation behind his back, that would be a strange matter!
