In the thick fog.
On the deck of the Unsinkable.
Irin comfortably put on a full set of Krypton equipment, feeling refreshed.
Although no one could see his expression through the mask.
However, after Ruth found a new set of clothes and disguised herself as' First Mate Louis', she looked at the skeleton gentleman's back from afar and felt that the mysterious back was filled with a sense of smugness.
Sax Sparrow took hold of the compass again.
Now that Irin was not in the Marine camp, in order to locate the position of the Demon King, Irin could only "temporarily" lend the compass to Sachs and locate the Demon King through the desire in his heart.
This trial was coming to an end.
Although Yi Lin roughly calculated that there were still many side quests that he hadn't explored in this trial, for safety's sake, it was better to complete the main quest as soon as possible and return to the real world to avoid any more trouble. A long night was fraught with problems.
This trial world was far more complicated than he imagined. If he continued to dig deeper into the plot, it was likely that the trial mission would be upgraded to the point where it could not be completed.
"Nightmare Difficulty" … was not the end.
Irin was not short of death points for the time being, so there was no need to take this risk.
For the sudden addition of the first mate, the other pirates were quite surprised.
Before this, the captain of the "Skeleton Gentleman" did everything himself, and the position of the first mate was vacant and no one could take it.
For the appearance of First Mate Louis, Charlie was even more surprised.
But when he saw First Mate Louis walk out of the captain's cabin with a haggard and weary face, he instantly understood the truth and was very emotional.
Naturally, he did not dare to say anything. He could only silently stare at the mysterious back of the skeleton gentleman in the distance and secretly give him a thumbs up.
Sure enough, a real man should know what a man is.
"Why are you looking for … that guy?"
At this time, Yi Lin didn't try to hide anymore. He stood beside Sachs to prevent Little Sa from secretly hiding his compass as he asked.
Sachs looked at the needle of the compass and casually replied, "I am looking for my father."
On the side, the drunk Old Gibbs suddenly raised his head and looked at Sachs.
Irin: "Hmm? What does your father have to do with this? "
Sax shook his head. "Before my father left, he said that as long as I could find that guy, I would be qualified to be the son of the legendary pirate, Captain Jack. Otherwise, he would never appear in front of me."
Irin: "…"
Ruth: "…"
Gibbs. "… …"
This child was obviously tricked by his father!
Irin and Ruth immediately turned their gazes towards Old Gibbs.
Old Gibbs smiled embarrassedly and hurriedly lowered his head, avoiding the gazes of the others.
Irin was deep in thought.
At this moment, Sachs seemed to have discovered something. He took out his binoculars and looked ahead.
Irin's spirit was lifted.
At a time like this, no one could let down their guard.
Strangely enough, Old Gibbs seemed to have anticipated the goal of Irin and the others. Other than gulping down large mouthfuls of rum, he did not show much fear.
As for the other pirates, Yi Lin simply didn't dare to reveal his true intentions. Otherwise, it was very likely that these damned pirates would jump into the sea one after another in fright. They would rather swim across the ocean than stay on this ship.
But in the end, if everything went smoothly, Irin would not need to use the people on this ship. Because the moment the mission was completed, he would return to the real world. Everything that happened in this world would have nothing to do with Irin.
Eh?
Thinking about it carefully, Irin's heart inexplicably felt a bit of reluctance.
It was not that he was reluctant to part with Ruth's skillful skills. Rather, these days of sailing life had left a deep impression on Irin … a very interesting memory.
After Sachs' reminder, Irin quickly took out his binoculars and looked in the direction that Sachs pointed.
A few seconds later, Irin put down the binoculars expressionlessly.
Sachs was shocked and stuttered, "S-Captain, why is there a person standing on the sea?"
"No need to ignore him."
"But —"
"I said, no need to ignore him."
"But he's waving at us, and he's very fast! Oh, damn, he's coming — "
A minute later.
Gu Tianqing smiled as she combed her wet hair to the back of her head. "Sorry to disturb you."
Then, Gu Tianqing elegantly looked at Irin and smiled. "Charming skeleton gentleman."
Irin: "…"
Ruth: "???"
Sachs: "Charming?"
Old Gibbs: "Oh —"
Irin helplessly sighed. "See through but don't say it, brother."
Gu Tianqing: "At this point, what's the point?"
Irin laughed. "Indeed, there's no point."
Gu Tianqing: "So, cooperation?"
Irin thought for a moment. Gu Tianqing said four words, and he could only believe one of them.
Cooperate?
Act?
However, after Gu Tianqing's operation, the difficulty of the trial suddenly increased, and the missions of the two factions merged into one, breaking the boundaries of the factions.
Regardless of whether it was the pirate faction or the navy faction, they had to face Calypso and … the Demon King at the same time.
There was no difference.
Therefore, the basis of cooperation was indeed there, and that was mutual benefits.
However, the gap between cooperation was also very obvious. For the apostles, it was the distribution of benefits.
In the final main mission, whoever could obtain more contribution points would undoubtedly obtain a higher mission evaluation.
The final mission evaluation was very important for the apostles. After all, it directly affected the increase of their attributes.
Irin thought for a moment and smiled. "Okay, the Demon King is mine."
Gu Tianqing's expression did not change. She said softly, "No problem, Calypso is mine."
In this world, Gu Tianqing did not idle around. She had also heard about the legend of Calypso and even … had some contact with it.
The Boss was instantly distributed.
However, no matter if it was Gu Tianqing or Irin, they would not take this distribution seriously.
However, no matter how hard they tried, unless it was a life and death situation, the two would not fall out.
After all, everyone would return to the real world in the end. If they fell out, there would be another enemy hiding in the dark, and it was not worth it.
As the saying goes, leave a way out for everything.
In Gotham City, Irin also understood this principle. In the end, when they faced the Laughing Bat, he gave little Fatso the choice of fighting the Boss together with everyone, or forcing Irin to use his trump card and kill everyone together with the Boss.
Luckily, little Fatso did not walk a narrow path, or else he would not have been able to get a good wife like Su Xiaosu.
The two of them talked softly. The others looked at the two of them from afar and felt strange. There was an indescribable feeling brewing.
Ruth facepalmed. "Oh, why do I feel like someone is going to be unlucky again?"
Sachs agreed wholeheartedly and nodded furiously.
He mourned for the stranger in front of the captain for a few seconds. Then, he subconsciously reached into his pocket and wanted to take out his precious compass to check the direction of the Demon King.
However, at this moment.
Sachs suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Where, where, where's the compass?"
The compass had been lost again!
"Ship, captain, my compass —"
Sachs realized that the compass in his pocket had mysteriously disappeared again, and he ran toward Irin with a sad face.
Irin's tone suddenly became serious. He raised his index finger in front of his mask and said, "Shh — wait, listen!"
This turn of events was too smooth, and Irin's voice was also very loud. Instantly, everyone quieted down and listened carefully.
Rumble —
Rumble —
Everyone's expression changed slightly.
In the fog in front of them, they could faintly hear the sound of cannons firing.
It was cannon fire!
"There are enemies in front! There are enemies in front! "
Sasa used his fastest speed to inform everyone of this bad news.
In front of the fog.
Gradually, a large shadow appeared.
It was all … ships.
Irin was very familiar with the shape of the shadow. In just a few seconds, he could tell that it was … a navy warship.
"Wait? Why is there another ship missing? "
Irin suddenly turned his head and looked at Gu Tianqing, who had a faint smile on her face. He said thoughtfully, "Did you trick your teammates too?"
Gu Tianqing shook her head and said, "We never had teammates."
"But …" Gu Tianqing's tone was slightly serious. "They should have a corresponding method. I just don't know if it will work."
As the Never Sink approached in that direction, the sound of cannons and the warship's whistle became clearer and clearer in the fog.
Yi Lin and Gu Tianqing looked at each other and nodded slightly without leaving a trace.
It seemed that they had thought of the same thing.
For example, one of the bosses had already appeared, and the friendly NPCs were aggressively attacking the boss. However, since it was a Nightmare difficulty trial, the tower would definitely not allow it. Irin and Gu Tianqing had to hide on the side and fight until the end.
If they continued to hide, sooner or later, something would happen and they would be forced to the point where they would have no choice but to attack.
Instead of being passive, it was better to take the initiative to attack while the friendly NPCs were still alive. Who knows, they might even be able to increase the success rate and reduce the risk.
After all, this was Nightmare difficulty.
It could not be underestimated.
If they hesitated, they would lose!
"Captain!"
After being interrupted by Irin, Little Sa had actually forgotten that he had lost his compass. The nervousness in his heart was written all over his face.
His finger trembled as he pointed at a few other directions in the fog. He held up his binoculars and looked left and right.
Just as Sax reminded them, there was another change.
In various places in the fog, no one knew if it was a coincidence or some other reason, but there were other ships that passed through the fog and came from all directions.
Those ships looked majestic. The sails were flapping as they moved forward at full speed.
Irin's pupils shrank. He focused his vision and looked more carefully.
Although he could not see the flag on the mast, through the binoculars, the color of the flag … was black!
It was the Skeleton Flag!
The Skeleton Flag of the pirates!
It was a pirate ship!
Why would there be other pirate ships coming to join in the fun at this time?
Gu Tianqing smiled. "It's time."
Irin lowered his head and did not say anything.
With the mask on, Irin did not have to worry. Gu Tianqing could see through the mask and read his thoughts through his micro-expressions.
If she really had such a powerful ability, why would she use it in such a place?
"Ruth, from now on, you must never go near that place again."
At the last moment, Irin directly called out Ruth's real name. After all, this farewell might be forever.
"What about you?" Ruth was stunned.
"Goodbye."
Irin laughed. He did not linger, nor did he hesitate. The buff had already been applied. Under the buff of "Abundant", Irin's attributes were at their best under normal conditions.
Go, go, go!
Gu Tianqing and Irin jumped down from the deck almost at the same time.
“！”
"Woof!"
An almost forgotten dog had just finished gnawing on a bone and was in high spirits. It followed behind the two and jumped into the sea.
At the same time, the two jumped into the sea.
Gu Tianqing quickly pulled out a card and crushed it. A jet skateboard of unknown origin was smoothly stepped on by Gu Tianqing in mid-air and fell into the waves.
Irin also pulled out a card and crushed it from an angle that Gu Tianqing could not see. At the same time, he activated the summoning skill and summoned the Nightingale.
Hiss —
The summoning process of the Nightingale did not have any fancy special effects. In the void, smooth and flowing lines appeared out of nowhere. Then, at the end of the light, countless square balls of light of different sizes gathered at the position designated by Irin.
After the light faded, the ferocious-looking, pitch-black Nightingale mount appeared on the surface of the sea.
The reason for this superfluous move was that Irin did not want to expose the fact that the Nightingale was actually a "summoning mount" in front of Gu Tianqing.
It was better to hide a trick or two, just in case.
Sure enough, Gu Tianqing only took a second look at the Nightingale's appearance and exclaimed, "Its appearance is not bad."
After Irin mounted the Nightingale, he lowered his head and glanced at the skateboard that Gu Tianqing was standing on. He chuckled and said, "Well, yours is not small."
Gu Tianqing: "…"
Dong!
After Irin mounted the Nightingale, a black shadow fell from above. The dog was like the return of a king. He landed precisely at the front of the car and sat cross-legged, looking very cool.
She felt that it would be more cool to give the dog a helmet with goggles at this time.
Gu Tianqing had heard many legends about the Skeleton Gentleman.
At this time, when she saw Wang Tiandi, she looked at him deeply and did not ask.
Even if she asked, she would not get an answer.
Why ask when she already knew the answer?
Gu Tianqing smiled slightly. "Before we set off, I secretly divined. This time, we should be able to escape unscathed. "
Irin: "Haha."
Who would believe you?
You're just doing a divination for yourself! Don't use the word 'we'!
Although that was the case, Irin was still wary of Gu Tianqing's ability that was similar to "foresight."
After Gu Tianqing finished speaking, she stepped on the skateboard and rushed into the thick fog.
Irin nodded. Since Gu Tianqing did not want to do so, Irin was planning to do so too.
The map was so big. There was no need for two apostles to squeeze together to fight the boss.
Since they were wary of each other, it was better to go their separate ways.
Irin drove slowly.
The card that he had just crushed was a bottle of [Magic Water].
He sat quietly on the Nightingale for 30 seconds.
30 seconds later.
His mana had recovered to full.
After finishing his preparations, Irin set off again.
This time, because of the role-playing mode, the recovery ability brought by the Dionysus Factor had lost its effect.
If he was not careful, he might be killed by the boss.
The navy had used the firepower of nine warships. After Gu Tianqing left, they lost another warship in the blink of an eye.
One could imagine that the demon king was not someone that could be easily taken down by a single person or a single warship.
That was why Gu Tianqing lured the navy here as the last cannon fodder.
"Wang Tiandi, it's the last moment. You should use some strength, right?"
Wang Tiandi started to think again.
Irin: "…"
After a few seconds, Wang Tiandi grinned. He turned his head and stretched out his paw toward Irin.
Slap.
One hand and one paw slapped together.
Yes, this was a trustworthy ally … After all, it was simple and easy to understand. It was just a bit doggy.
Rumble —
This time, Irin did not need to activate the Dark Night Mode. He instantly stepped on the accelerator. The Nightingale let out a beast-like roar that reverberated through the sea.
The Nightingale was a beast out of its cage.
At full speed, the Nightingale was like a jet of black light that cut through the sea.
Dog's fur was blown to the back of his head and rustled.
The black light reached the depths of the fog in the blink of an eye.
Rumble —
In the fog, cannon fire filled the sky. Row after row of cannonballs, as if they were free, crazily blasted towards the dark shadow of the ship in the depths of the fog. And from the shadow of the ship, not to be outdone, row after row of cannonballs were fired towards the other warships.
"The demon king is a ship?"
Irin narrowed his eyes and drove the Nightingale through the thick fog. On the remaining eight warships, everyone was extremely nervous. They were busy dealing with the legendary demon king. They had no time to care about the Nightingale that was shuttling through the sea.
And from other directions around the navy, there were several pirate ships flying skeleton flags. With the help of the wind, they quickly approached and surrounded the eight warships without fear.
Those pirate ships that came later were obviously targeting the navy.
Who was it?
Wang Tiandi, Irin, and Gu Tianqing had already entered the battlefield.
When Shipwreck Bay was destroyed, Nicholas Zhao was severely injured. It was hard to say whether he could survive, let alone form a new fleet to fight against the demon king.
"What's left is … Indiana Jones? Why do I feel that this name sounds familiar? "
Not sure if it was because the map this time was too vast, coupled with the fact that the apostles' levels were too low, they were restricted by the way they moved. In the end, there were still apostles that had yet to appear in the trial.
Rumble rumble rumble —
Without any nonsense, without any opening remarks, the approaching pirate ships stealthily entered the range of the cannonballs. Without any hesitation, they directly fired at the eight warships nearby.
From Irin's point of view, it was as if they were using their arms to pinch their thighs.
Heroes!
At such a time, they still dared to participate.
And Lucky Person 2, at this moment, was on the deck. Because of the sudden appearance of the pirate ships, the navy was temporarily in chaos.
"It's pirates! Damn pirates! "
"Wait! That flag! It's the pirate 'New Generation' Indiana Jones' ship! "
Tiramisu and the other two generals' faces turned black. "Why would it be at such a time? Damn it! Why would they enter the Fog Sea at such a time? "
"Admiral, what should we do? What should we do? "
Tiramisu discreetly glanced at the bandaged and silent Governor behind him, saying coldly, "Don't worry about them! Their outdated cannonballs can't penetrate our armor! People on the deck, pay attention to the cannonballs of the pirates! If possible, leave some people to load the cannonballs, the others … board the damn pirate ships and engage in a boarding battle! "
If a ship battle was a battle of ships and cannons, then a boarding battle was a battle of military strength and equipment, as well as the combat power of each person. At that time, the number of casualties would definitely skyrocket.
After all, at this moment in the sea, the navy was facing enemies from the back.
But the "devil king" who had been hiding in the fog, keeping a distance from the navy, was the target that the navy had been pursuing for many years. Even if they were attacked by the pirates, the navy would never give up!
"For the glory of the empire!"
"For the future of the empire!"
"Sacrifice our hearts!"
The navy's morale was high!
After all, the governor was on an expedition with the navy … The navy was undefeated!
The three admirals, as well as the mysterious governor, all gathered on Lucky Person 2 at the same time.
The other warships could be commanded by the adjutant. When necessary, it was not impossible to sacrifice them.
For that goal, any sacrifice was worth it.
As long as they could successfully capture the "devil king" in the fog … The devil king that sailed out of the secret base more than ten years ago … Everything was worth it!
Rush! Rush!
The three admirals on Lucky Person 2 did not send a signal to the other warships. They sped up and rushed to the huge black shadow in the fog!
Rush! Rush!
One ship in the lead!
The scene was extremely fierce. In just a few minutes, the pirate ships that quietly approached from all sides under the fog brazenly fought with the navy soldiers and engaged in a boarding battle.
In addition to the other warships of Lucky Person 2, Irin's old acquaintances, Pope and Noland were on the ship.
After all, they had been planning for the navy for many years. In order to restore the glory of the empire, after getting the "magical and great governor", they waited for more than ten years and finally waited for this day.
If it wasn't for the legendary pirate Jack Sparrow's magical compass, they wouldn't have to wait until today.
They waited for a generation!
Even the first generation of the navy had retired, but they were still closely concerned about this matter.
Everything was to successfully capture the devil king!
The higher-ups in the navy actually knew the true face of the devil king. It was a magical ship, a ship that forced its way out of the island of the navy's secret base. That ship contained the true mysteries of science and technology. As long as they could capture that magical ship, the technological level of the empire would improve by leaps and bounds!
Spreading the legend of the Devil King in the sea, spreading the fear of the Devil King, to some extent, condoning the pirates to gallop in the sea, was just to have more eyes to look for that damned "Devil King's Ship"!
Mere pirates were nothing to be afraid of!
In front of this specially strengthened warship — Kill, kill, kill!
In the crowd.
Vice Admiral Pope held his broadsword and took out the latest continuous "flintlock gun" from his back. This was the latest scientific product.
Although it was not as good as the "only weapon" of the three admirals, this gun was more high-end than the traditional flintlock gun. It could undoubtedly shoot the pirates into sieves. Without a doubt.
Suddenly —
Pope's eyes widened again.
Wait.
Why again?
But this was not important.
Including Pope, after the ships met, there was a burst of terrifying and strange laughter coming from the pirate ship, as if it came from the abyss of hell.
One after another, pirates with strange figures appeared at the bow of the ship.
Their skin was pale, and their eyes had no pupils, leaving only the white of their eyes.
On the bodies of the pirates, there was not a single piece of clothing that was in good condition. Only tattered strips of cloth hung on their bodies, barely able to cover their important parts.
What made the Marines feel the most fear was that the pirates on the opposite side, from head to toe, from foot to head, were covered with traces of stitching, as if they were forcibly pieced together with countless corpses. Some of them were even pieced together with strange tentacles. As the tentacles wriggled, drops of green mucus with a strange smell dripped on the deck.
"Ghost, ghost, ghost —"
No one knew who screamed, breaking the short silence.
At the same time.
Gu Tianqing drove the jet skateboard and landed on the deck of one of the warships.
Because the scene was too chaotic, Gu Tianqing silently landed, and for a while, no one reacted.
He was expressionless, quickly walked behind a lone marine, and gently patted the marine's shoulder.
"Well? Adviser Amakusa Harushiro, how did you — "
Before he finished his words.
Gu Tianqing smiled and said: "Oh, for the glory of the Empire, give your heart."
Marine: "???"
One minute later.
Gu Tianqing skillfully used a delicate skinning knife to take out the marine's trembling heart.
The scene … was difficult to describe.
Gu Tianqing's expression was the same as usual.
He carefully held the heart, and then lifted his clothes.
Under the clothes, Gu Tianqing's body was strangely black and withered, and blood vessels darker than the color of his skin were clearly visible on his skin.
On Gu Tianqing's strange and terrifying chest, where his heart was, there was a fist-sized hole, but there was no blood flowing out of the hole.
Gu Tianqing expressionlessly put his hand into the hole.
Pia Pia Pia Pia Pia Pia Pia-
A black and shriveled heart like rotten wood was taken out by Gu Tianqing and crushed.
Gu Tianqing quickly replaced it with a fresh one. Until then, Gu Tianqing slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He opened the panel and looked at it for more than ten seconds.
At this time, if someone else could see Gu Tianqing's panel, they would definitely be frightened by the terrible scene in front of them.
In the [Curse] column, it was densely covered with various curse entries, and the end couldn't be seen.
Gu Tianqing alone … actually bore the burden of a curse all over her body!
"This curse is too troublesome."
After replacing the "heart", Gu Tianqing smiled slightly.
