Half an hour later.
Under Ruth's skillful service, Irin was dressed neatly and appeared in front of all the sailors.
Without Ruth's help, Irin found it a challenge to even dress himself.
Irin had already put away Bai Xiaoyi.
All this time, Irin had tried his best to hide his abilities.
Although in the eyes of the sailors, their respected captain possessed mysterious "black witchcraft," no one knew what it was.
Perhaps only Ruth could vaguely sense that when Irin performed black witchcraft, he would chant a strange incantation.
She understood every word of the incantation, but it sounded very strange to Ruth. It had a kind of domineering aura that she did not understand.
Irin's footsteps paused.
He suddenly remembered something that was related to his life.
He immediately took out an "explosive bead" from the groove on his waist and quietly threw it into the sea when no one noticed.
A moment later.
A small wave suddenly appeared in the sea.
It was as if Calypso had secretly let out a fart that no one knew about.
Irin casually rubbed another one and stuffed it into the groove on his waist.
For the past few days, Irin had been maintaining the number of [Unstable Explosives] at ten.
Once the time limit was exceeded, he would immediately dispose of it and replace it with a new explosive bead.
Otherwise, if he was late, the explosive bead would explode at his waist. The consequences were obvious.
After disposing of the explosive beads, Irin walked out of the deck.
After personally walking out of the cabin, Irin discovered that the fog in the sea was far thicker than he had imagined.
Using his own eyes to observe was more direct than using Bai Xiaoyi's "vision."
Irin did not bat an eyelid. He reached his hand into the thick fog, and a layer of wet fog covered his white gloves. Rubbing it with two fingers, Irin could clearly feel the extra moisture on the silk gloves.
Whoosh.
On the observation deck.
Small Sax, who was good at playing with ropes, nimbly swung a rope and landed in front of Irin like a monkey. His movements were very skillful.
"Captain, there's an island in that direction!"
Sachs did not waste any time and directly pointed out the direction for Irin.
Although all the pirates had been bored with the color of the sea for the past twenty days or so, without the command of the captain, no one dared to set foot on the island.
I heard that black magic is very scary!
I heard that the captain even eats people!
Rumor had it that the captain could send a person to heaven with a casual point of his finger!
Among the crew, there were all sorts of weird legends about the skeleton gentleman captain.
After all, during these past 20 plus days, every time a ship approached them, it would inexplicably fall into a state of chaos, causing this group of experienced pirates to fight a naval battle as if they were cutting vegetables, and it was extremely smooth.
It was said that this was the power of the captain's "dark witchcraft".
As a result, although the loyalty of these crew members had greatly decreased due to hunger, there were no riots or rebellions.
Irin raised his binoculars and looked in the direction Little Sa was pointing.
Sure enough, in the depths of the thick fog, he could faintly see the shadow of an island. It was like a ghost in the fog, emitting a strange aura.
Suddenly, Ruth, who had been frowning and deep in thought ever since she helped Irin put on his clothes, exclaimed in surprise. She took out a roll of sheepskin from her chest. It was her precious nautical chart.
Charlie eagerly came forward and said with a charming smile, "My respected captain, can we land? Our brothers are starving. Look, they're still licking the bone that Lord Dog ate … "
Irin followed Charlie's gaze and saw a withered pirate happily licking the bone that Wang Tiandi ate. There were many bruises on his body.
It must have taken a lot of effort to get this "used bone."
"Hehe."
Irin smiled and pressed his palms in front of him, indicating for his subordinates to calm down.
Three seconds later, the restless pirates quietened down completely.
Everyone was eagerly waiting for the captain's next command.
Every pirate looked at the island in the distance with longing eyes.
In order to survive, even if there were ferocious man-eating beasts hiding on the island, they would probably rush up without hesitation to find food and water.
"What do you think? My first mate? "
Irin saw Ruth carefully comparing the nautical chart and asked softly.
Of course, as the Skeleton Gentleman Captain, he still had to act cool. In the eyes of others, Irin's tone was obviously that of a superior speaking to a subordinate. His attitude was cold enough.
Ruth frowned and muttered to herself, "How is this possible? How could the route deviate so much? Was there a mistake in the calculation after a storm? How is this possible … "
“？”
Irin slowly typed a question mark.
Yi Lin didn't know anything about nautical calculations, so she had to rely on the skilled Ruth for this.
Ruth took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression, "If I'm not wrong, we should be in the 'Fog Sea.'"
Fog Sea!
Hiss —
Irin did not understand, but the moment the other pirates heard these three words, there was a series of gasps on the deck.
After a while.
A commotion broke out among the pirates.
"Damn it, how did we come to the Fog Sea?"
"Legend has it that this place is …"
"So, on that island …"
"Hey? How could we be so unlucky? Don't forget, our captain has the ability to use black magic, so what if we encounter it? "
"But …"
"If we don't land on the island, we're all done for! Of course, except for our great captain. "
"…"
Irin frowned and felt that the crew's behavior was a bit strange.
He quickly pulled Ruth to the side.
"What is the Fog Sea?"
Ruth looked helpless and shook her head, "You don't know, in this sea, the curse has been revived. There are many places that people call the 'Forbidden Sea.' In other words, no one can enter the sea no matter what. Unless … you don't want to live. "
Irin quickly spread out his senses.
But in the range of his senses, other than the thick fog, there was nothing special.
There were no submerged reefs under the water.
There was not even the wreckage of the ship around.
Irin suddenly smiled, "Could it be scarier than the song you sang?"
"…"
Ruth was silent for a moment.
She thought about it.
It seemed to make sense.
In this sea, what could be scarier than the "Demon King"?
She had even sung the Demon King's Song, and the Queen was still safe and sound.
With this thought, Ruth felt more at ease, but she still rolled her eyes at Irin, "Legend has it that there are ghosts in the Fog Sea."
Ghosts?
Irin lowered his head and thought about it.
"The ghosts you're talking about … Are you referring to the kind that floats in the air, doesn't touch the ground, looks translucent, and can't be touched?"
Ruth was shocked, "How did you know?"
"Oh, then it's okay, let's land on the island."
“？？？”
No one knew that a certain captain who had "Black Witchcraft" was best at dealing with such creatures.
After the Queen anchored off the coast of the island, Irin casually pointed to a few crew members who had higher Luck on the interface as the vanguard to take the small wooden boat and land on the island.
Relatively speaking, it was less likely for accidents to happen.
Logically speaking, this should be the case.
At first, the pirates were still a little hesitant.
After all, they had all heard of the legend of the Fog Sea. Although they were very happy at first, when it came to it, they still did not dare to land on the island before the others.
— Until Irin smiled and poked one of them with a needle.
Then, several people "volunteered" and "scrambled" to be the vanguard of the Queen.
Ten minutes later.
In the thick fog, in the direction of the island, there was a light in the distance.
The vanguard was very excited and sent a signal to the Queen, indicating that everything was safe.
Irin nodded and arranged for everyone to carry out the lifeboats from the deck in an orderly manner. They threw them into the sea and headed toward the island in the Fog Sea.
The Fog Sea was marked as a thick fog on the nautical chart. The islands and sea routes inside were not marked on the nautical chart.
It was unknown whether it was because Ruth's nautical chart was too outdated or because the Fog Sea was too mysterious.
In any case, Irin was about to land on an unknown island.
Half an hour later, Irin and Ruth stepped on the ground again.
Beside the two of them was a dog.
Wang Tiandi violently shook the fur on his body, completely drying the hair that was soaked by the seawater.
"Woof!"
Wang Tiandi lowered his head and sniffed the ground twice before getting ready to run.
"Wang Tiandi!"
Irin suddenly called out to Gou 'zi.
Although Gou 'zi could not speak human language, he clearly understood human language. When he turned his head, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
This made Ruth click her tongue in amazement. "Is this dog a demon?"
Irin squatted down in front of Wang Tiandi and smiled. "We're considered allies, right?"
When Wang Tiandi heard this, he actually lowered his head and hesitated.
What the f * ck?
So it didn't count before?
Irin secretly complained. No wonder Wang Tiandi's loyalty had always been zero on the crew panel. It seemed like this dog only treated him as a breeder.
Wang Tiandi held his chin and stuck out his tongue as he pondered.
"For Bonehead's sake?"
Irin asked again.
"Woof!"
Wang Tiandi suddenly stretched out his paw. Irin understood. One man and one dog, one paw in each hand, lightly touched each other in front of them.
Now, they were officially allies.
After forming an alliance with Irin, Wang Tiandi directly ran into the depths of the island and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Irin looked in the direction Wang Tiandi left in and shook his head. He muttered to himself, "I thought you were just a dog. I didn't expect you to be a real dog …"
Ruth asked, "What do you mean?"
Irin smiled. "Nothing."
After wandering on the sea for half a month, Irin actually felt a little dizzy when she stepped on land again. It was as if she was swaying left and right when she walked, as if she was surfing.
This seemed to be some kind of aftereffect of being on the sea for a long time, but she would probably get used to the feeling of stepping on land again very quickly.
The sand on the beach was very fine. Ruth directly took off her boots and stepped on the beach barefoot. Her face revealed the posture of a little woman as she indulged herself in this short period of pleasure.
The moment she stepped onto the shore, she probably forgot about the terrifying legend of the so-called 'undead appearing in the Fog Sea'.
Because after thinking about it, Ruth came to a conclusion —
Undead appearing on the sea?
What did it have to do with the island?
It had nothing to do with it at all!
Ruth thought happily. She couldn't wait to take off all her clothes and enjoy a comfortable sand bath on the beach.
"Wu wu wu —"
Suddenly.
A gust of wind blew past, and Ruth's whole body trembled. She couldn't help but shiver.
The wind was very cold.
And from the sound of the wind, it faintly sounded like a woman's crying.
Irin walked in the cold wind.
Her back was straight.
The other pirates were already unable to endure the thirst and crazily rushed into the island in search of fresh water and food.
Irin was too lazy to pay attention to them. They were originally cannon fodder, so why should she care so much?
If they really wanted to die, then so be it.
Suddenly.
Irin turned her head.
She saw Sasa looking down at the compass and muttering to himself.
Irin suddenly remembered the "curse" on Sax's body and kindly reminded him, "Be careful. It is said that undead appearing on the Fog Sea."
Sax's attributes were more useful than the other cannon fodder pirates. He couldn't die so easily.
Sasa heard this and his whole body trembled. He was so scared that he immediately put away the compass and straightened his legs.
"Yes! My captain! "
Ruth saw Irin starting to walk along the coastline. She didn't care about the sand bath and quickly caught up with Irin's back. She hissed and wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.
"Oh, this damn back is really like the Virgin Mary's praise!"
"Especially that peachy butt ~"
Ruth thought happily in her heart.
Irin suddenly turned her head. Through the mask, she squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, "Can you not say what's in your heart?"
"Hmm? Did I say it? "
Ruth was slightly startled.
Irin was very speechless at this female demon and subconsciously tightened her tuxedo.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, walked on the beach.
The sand under their feet was very fine. Ruth was barefoot and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she felt like she was stepping on a soft bed. It was very comfortable.
Suddenly, Irin stopped moving forward.
Ruth was following very closely. When she saw Irin stop, she originally had enough time to react. After all, her dexterity level was there. However, Ruth hesitated for 0.2 seconds and straightened her chest and directly bumped into Irin's back.
Duang~
"Ah! Why did you stop? "
Ruth rubbed a certain part and made a shy expression.
"…"
Ruth lowered her head. "Don't you think that the two of us strolling on the beach with no one around us is very romantic?"
Click, click, click.
Irin laughed. "The premise is that it's a man and a woman, and …"
Irin paused for a moment and pointed forward. He added, "There's no 'those things' in front."
“？”
'Those things?'
Ruth slowly typed out a question mark.
Was it some mysterious little surprise?
Ruth's head popped out from behind Irin's back. The next second, her face turned pale and her skin color completely changed.
The two of them had walked to another corner of the beach.
Crack, crack, crack.
On the beach, there were many skeletons of victims scattered around. There was a thigh bone in the east and a head in the west. They were densely packed all over the beach, like small stones adorning the beach. It was very romantic.
Originally, to pirates, skeletons were more like mascots.
Normally, no one would be afraid of a pitiful skeleton exposed to the elements on a deserted island.
Unless … these skeletons could move.
When Irin raised her finger to remind him, the sea breeze blew. Not only did the fog not disperse, but it also became thicker.
In the thick fog, the skeletons all over the ground began to tremble violently.
Clack clack clack, clack clack, clack clack clack, clack clack clack, clack clack clack clack, clack clack clack clack — —
Like the rhythm of a disco, the trembling bones made the beach, which had been silent for many years, lively in the blink of an eye.
Ruth: "!"
Compared to Ruth's panic, Irin was unusually calm. Other than calmness, there was even a hint of expectation.
"Hmm, the next step should be to reassemble these disco bones? It couldn't be that unoriginal, right? It can't be, right? "
Clack clack clack.
One by one, the decaying skeletons stood up after they were reassembled.
"Oh, no surprises."
Irin shook his head.
Huh?
What's wrong with this damned translation?
In front of them.
The countless skeletons that were scattered all over the beach looked a little strange in the fog. Their dark eye sockets actually emitted a little bit of green light.
At first glance, they looked like stars in the night sky, shining with a green light, giving people a feeling of vitality.
Ruth was not very experienced in this area, and her legs were already weak from the fear.
But lying down and being passive did not seem to be her style. Although she was scared, after being stunned for a few seconds, Ruth decisively pulled out the pirate's scimitar to increase her confidence.
"Here, for you. Watch your step, let me do it."
Irin thought for a while, then took out a piece of useless equipment from the storage dimension that was almost rusted, and threw it to Ruth to defend herself.
[Excellent Ghost Head Blade].
Irin already had a spiritual weapon that could slowly level up, and this weapon from the local world was not even worth mentioning.
But to Ruth, the appearance of this saber was incomparably domineering, and it faintly emitted a strong offensive aura. Once Ruth received it from Yi Lin, she immediately started playing with it lovingly.
Clack clack clack.
The upper and lower jaws of all the skeletons were constantly trembling. Although there was no sound, it gave people the illusion that they were laughing maniacally.
Clack clack clack.
Not only in front of them, but even behind them, the skeletons that were buried in the sand strangely crawled out from the sand and turned into skeletons. They held rusty swords in their hands, and slowly approached the two of them.
Ruth was considered half an ally, so Irin did not hide anymore. He flipped his palm and crushed the card, and Blood Jasmine appeared in Irin's hand.
"Hmm?"
Ruth's eyes lit up.
Irin had always been using mysterious black magic in front of her. This was also the first time Ruth saw Irin's real weapon.
The two of them unknowingly seemed to have stepped into the territory of the undead. At a glance, in the thick fog, there were countless green lights that were ready to move.
If the skeletons in front of them did not kill people, the two of them would seem to be soaking in a green ocean, like ducks playing in the water and rubbing against each other. It was very romantic.
But obviously, at this moment, Ruth had completely lost the ability to look forward to romance.
Irin released his psychokinesis to the maximum, and within a range of more than 20 meters, there was a sea of skeletons. He could not sense the end of the monsters at all.
"Are we surrounded?"
Irin was not in a hurry.
After thinking for two seconds, he did not release Bai Xiaoyi or Nie Hongxiu, nor did he use the skills of the spiritual weapon.
In Irin's eyes, the skeletons in front of them were just "small monsters" that moved slowly. The so-called undead were not scary at all.
They were just like the ghosts in "Haunted-mist Mountain."
As long as there was a HP bar, they could be attacked, killed, and tricked. They were no different from the small monsters in the game dungeons.
The only difference might be their attributes and models.
However, Irin's evolution direction was not the type that was good at group attacks. Before he had a clear understanding of the scale of the monsters in front of him, Irin did not plan to waste too much Mana Points.
If he was alone, he could try [Shadow Stalking] to see if it was 100% effective against the so-called undead monsters.
However, Ruth was here as a burden. If Yi Lin casually cast Shadow Stalking and left the battle circle, Ruth, who was just flesh and blood and didn't have high combat strength, would be torn into "Ruth's Pain in the Ass" by this wave of skeletons in front of her.
Although the tactic of using a sea of monsters was old-fashioned, it had enough lethality.
In this world, Ruth, who had two major skills, [Massage Technique (Top)] and [Navigation Technique (Advanced)], was very important. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Irin would think of a way to protect Ruth.
"Follow me closely!"
Yi Lin warned in a low voice.
"Yo!"
Ruth immediately took advantage of the situation and clung to Irin's back. Her two hands started to grope Irin's body.
Irin was speechless.
At this moment, he did not care too much. With Irin's current strength attribute, even if he carried Ruth on his back like a turtle shell, it would not be too uncomfortable.
The premise was that … Ruth did not move around.
Under the "smiley face" mask, Irin had a cold expression. He quickly took two steps forward and swung his sword.
The enhanced "Killing Technique" was equivalent to breathing. Irin's breathing rhythm changed unpredictably. His diaphragm, intercostal muscles, and other breathing muscles trembled crazily. In the blink of an eye, he found the gap between the bones. Wherever the sword went, Irin shattered a skeleton as if he was cutting vegetables.
When Ruth saw how brave Irin was, she was so excited that she forgot about the fear of facing the undead. She clung to Irin's body and squealed non-stop. Her voice entered Irin's ears as if she was cheering for Irin.
Ten minutes later.
Yi Lin slaughtered her way through the pile of skeletons, creating a path paved with broken bones.
Not a single skeleton could withstand Blood Jasmine's attack for even three seconds. Occasionally, he would encounter a skeleton that was sturdier, but it only took him one more time to kill it.
Irin was speechless.
There was still a thick fog in front of him.
Yi Lin remained silent the entire time.
The sword in his hand gradually slowed down.
However, this was not because Irin was tired. When Irin killed the first skeleton, Irin had already noticed that something was wrong.
"There's no chaos at all? That means … "
Irin's heart skipped a beat. He held the sword in his right hand, but his left hand suddenly reached toward his waist.
Suddenly.
Irin's fingertips touched something strange.
"Ah ~"
"Hurry up and take your f * cking legs off me! Or I'll throw you into the pile of skeletons! "
"…"
Okay.
After dealing with the problem, Irin finally reached his hand into the box at his waist and took out an explosive orb.
Irin's eyes narrowed. With a flick of his wrist, the explosive orb slid out of Irin's hand in a mysterious arc.
Boom!
That explosive orb was almost on the verge of exploding. After accumulating power for so long, its explosive power was almost at its peak. This explosion instantly blasted a path in front of Irin.
Irin carried Ruth, whose face was flushed, and directly squeezed through the gaps in the pile of skeletons.
Hiss —
Finally.
Irin rushed out of the sea of skeletons.
Although Irin did not use any skills that consumed a lot of energy, Irin used his telekinesis to sense the situation around him in the thick fog from time to time. Going back and forth consumed a small portion of his Psionic Energy Value.
Irin turned around.
A small portion of the skeletons behind him had been destroyed by Yi Lin. In the thick fog, the flickering green light had decreased by quite a bit. Quite a few green light air raids had appeared, making them appear to be in disarray.
Ruth did not expect Irin to be able to kill his way out of the skeletons so easily. Her expression was a little more surprised.
It seemed that the undead were not as scary as the legends said!
"Sister, I suddenly feel like kissing you!" Ruth clamped her legs together.
"If you dare to move, I'll throw you out to feed the skeletons," Irin threatened seriously.
"…"
Crack crack crack.
Suddenly, just as Irin rushed out of the sea of skeletons.
In the fog, the remaining skeletons collapsed one after another and fell to the ground, once again becoming a pile of skeletons.
As far as the eye could see, there were only skeletons.
Densely packed skeletons.
Bones that could not be distinguished.
Up until now, Irin had not earned a single Chaos Point from the sea of skeletons. This made Irin feel like he was being freeloaded.
But after it was over, Irin still heaved a sigh of relief out of habit.
Crack crack crack.
Then.
On the beach, the skeletons on the ground started to vibrate again.
"Hmm? The type that can't be killed? Reassemble? Or is there no novelty at all …??? "
Crack crack, crack, crack crack crack, crack crack, crack crack crack.
The countless skeletons started to dance according to the rhythm again.
Before Irin could finish his sentence.
A series of question marks instantly appeared in his mind.
The countless skeletons strangely stirred up a wave of sand and piled up ten meters away from Irin. It was getting taller and taller … taller and taller … taller and taller.
Irin raised his head expressionlessly.
In an instant.
A huge skeletal hand was raised from top to bottom. It was raised high and fell heavily, slamming down towards the corner where Irin and Ruth were entangled.
