Even though the effect of the [Ultimate Dodge (Best Effort Type)] title was a little ridiculous, strictly speaking, it was still a 'Causality Skill'. When it was activated, it did not release any external energy or obvious special effects. After the viking fell to the ground, at least among the NPCs present, none of them could see the problem with it.
Thus, the players successfully deceived the NPCs …
At this point in time, they had already completed two of the three side missions. As for the remaining mission, [Help Blackbeard find his old subordinates on Devil's Maw Island], they would have to wait until they reached the island.
…
Before the boxing match ended, it was already dusk.
After the match, the sun was about to set.
However, there was no such thing as' sleeping at night 'when sailing at sea.
The Sea of Chaos was like a temperamental lady. Regardless of day or night, you had to be prepared to deal with her various moods. Otherwise, you would have to pay a terrible price.
Thus, even when night fell, the pirates only slowed down slightly. Everything else was basically the same as during the day.
Just like that, the Queen Anna's Revenge continued to move forward in the night.
The tranquil night and soothing wind made it difficult for people to feel the passage of time.
However, the experienced sailors could feel the turbulent undercurrent in this tranquility …
…
The night was getting darker, but the view of the sea was better than in the evening.
Unknowingly, a blood moon was hanging high in the night sky, reflecting the black sea into a dark red color.
Feng Bujue and Hong Hu had seen such a celestial phenomenon before. They knew that it meant that they were not far from their destination.
"Guys! We can already see the shadow of the island! "Soon, a shout came from the lookout deck, confirming their thoughts.
The lookout was no longer the one during the day. After all, the people in this position were not allowed to rest, so they had to find a few people to take turns.
The lookout's voice was loud and clear, and it was clear that he had some special ability related to "sound". His voice could penetrate the entire ship and be heard by everyone on board.
Creak …
Ten seconds after the shout, the door of the captain's cabin opened.
Blackbeard walked out with his invisible pressure and walked up to the helmsman's platform with a solemn expression.
When he passed by a cadre, he naturally took the binoculars from the cadre's hand.
"Lower the sails and reduce the speed." Then, Blackbeard issued a new instruction in a voice that was just loud enough for the crew on deck to hear.
Before he finished speaking, the pirates started to get busy in an orderly manner.
As for Feng Bujue and the other two, as "guests", they did not need to participate in this work. After all, they did not know how to operate such a large multi-masted ship.
Thus, the three of them who had nothing to do gathered at the bow of the ship and used their superior eyesight to look into the distance.
"As expected … the landscape has changed a lot." Hong Hu was, after all, an archer. His S-rank Marksmanship was more useful than binoculars in certain situations. He could already see the trees on the island.
"Ha … After our last 'adventure', it is understandable that it has changed beyond recognition," Feng Bujue said smugly.
Snow wanted to say, "Are you guys monsters? Why did you change the landscape just by taking a stroll?" But when he thought about the fate of the Brown Algae, he chose to swallow his words. Instead, he said, "Then, can I take it that the 'experience' that you two have from your last visit will not be of much use in this scenario?"
"That should be the case." Hong Hu replied, "Devil's Maw Island was originally a 'land of exile', an existence similar to a 'prison'. But before we left last time, the chief designer of this island, or rather, the 'warden', had already died. Under this premise, who knows how many years have passed in the main world. We really have no idea what the situation on the island is like now."
"But I can confirm one thing." To everyone's surprise, Brother Jue followed up with something that was quite surprising.
"Oh?" Hong Hu was confused. "Did you come here again after the Team Nightmare Instance Dungeon?"
"Not really." Feng Bujue replied, "It's just that …" He raised his hand and pointed at the Blood Moon in the sky without turning his head. "That … you should have seen it quite a few times, right?"
"You mean … the Blood Moon?" Hong Hu asked.
"That's right." Brother Jue nodded.
"Hmm …" Hong Hu said thoughtfully, "Indeed … I have seen the Blood Moon in many scenarios, and those scenarios seem to take place in the main universe." He paused and looked at Brother Jue. "I have long suspected that there is a connection between the two, but I have never had the chance to solve this mystery …"
At this point, he turned to look at Feng Bujue with an inquiring gaze.
Brother Jue saw this and smiled. He shrugged and replied, "Actually, it is not a mystery. The truth is … wherever the Blood Moon appears, it means that the forces of the 'Phantom Church' are active in the area."
"Oh!" When Hong Hu heard those words, he showed a look of realization. "So it is the Phantom Church! Sigh … So the Blood Moon is … "He did not continue. Instead, he held his chin and his eyes moved quickly …
It looked like the key information given by Feng Bujue helped Hong Hu solve a series of problems. He needed a certain amount of time to stitch together the many fragmented clues in his mind.
Brother Jue and Snow were smart people. They knew what Hong Hu's reaction meant, so the two of them did not disturb him and just waited silently.
After about three minutes, Hong Hu smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry … my brain is a little slow."
"It's okay." Feng Bujue immediately followed up with a compliment that was very characteristic of the Feng family. "In this day and age, having a 'brain' is already rare and commendable. It is meaningless to be demanding for speed."
The moment these words entered his ears, Hong Hu narrowed his eyes and gave Brother Jue a sidelong glance. "Do you know … Every time I come into contact with you, it is a good opportunity to test how much I have grown?"
"Heh … That faint irritation and impulse, as well as the temperament to suppress them, reminds you that you are more mature than before, right?" Feng Bujue summed it up quite accurately.
"How about we talk about the Phantom Church?" Hong Hu did not intend to continue the conversation with the other party on that topic.
"Sure." Feng Bujue said, "I can be considered one of the three big bosses of this organization. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask. I will answer you selectively according to my mood and the value of the information."
"[Beep —]" In the next second, Hong Hu made a muted sound from his mouth. It seemed that his agitation had brought out some discordant tone particles.
"What's wrong? Is that church very powerful? "Snow, who did not know the truth, asked curiously when he saw Hong Hu lose his composure.
"The Phantom Church is a secret society in the main universe founded by three 'World Elites' whose strength is second only to the Four Pillar Gods. The number of believers, specific goals, overall combat strength, and so on are all unknown …" Hong Hu explained. "According to the information released by the officials, as well as the summaries and guesses of some players on the forum … the three leaders should be Sam Montier, Taliohm, and Soul Snatcher."
"Soul Snatcher has been killed," Feng Bujue interrupted at the right time.
"And then you took over, right?" Hong Hu turned to look at Brother Jue and replied.
"Nope." Feng Bujue spread his hands. "I got involved before he was killed. Hmm … it was during the S2 preliminaries … I got involved through Sam Montier's connections. But … at that time, the preliminaries were not publicly recorded, so no one knew about it."
"How many more hidden identities do you have? How many high-ranking existences in the main universe have you colluded with? Speaking of which … you can even call the War Demon … What the hell are you doing?" Hong Hu adjusted his glasses and asked a few questions that were close to sarcasm. He also knew that this kind of information was not easily divulged.
However, Feng Bujue was an unpredictable person.
At that moment, Brother Jue actually replied in a very relaxed tone, "If you want to ask this …" He paused for half a second and continued, "Let's put it more broadly … Now, all the high-ranking forces in the main universe, except for the War Demon and Blackbeard, are basically my little [Beep —]."
