Under the sea water, Mu You hung far behind the ship.
The man was quite alert. While rowing, he looked back from time to time to make sure he was not being followed.
It's a pity that Mu You is more alert. Sometimes with the time pocket watch, he can predict the time when the young man will turn back at any time, so he can hide in advance and eliminate all traces on the water.
I followed him all the way and was never found.
After following the boat for nearly two hours, the boatman finally seemed to have arrived at his destination. He stopped near a small island in the sea, put away the boat, and hurriedly rushed to the island.
This crescent-shaped island is only a few hundred meters across and has a mangrove forest growing on it.
After the boatman landed on the island, he immediately ran to the woods in the center of the island.
Mu You could see clearly underwater. Under a mangrove tree there, there was indeed a gap in the door that was ajar, suddenly emerging in the air.
Mu You did not get close, but released the reconnaissance beetle in the water.
The beetle rowed through the water at an extremely fast speed, quickly moved to the shore of the island, and hid under a water plant near the beach.
Mu You also put on an invisibility cloak and hid under the water, peeking at the scene on the other side from a distance.
I saw the boatman running to the door and knocking carefully.
After a while, the door crack was opened, and a broad, muscular man appeared at the door.
Obviously, this person is the one who opened the door!
Mu You didn't know this man, but the moment he opened the door, Mu You saw the scene behind him. It was a bright bedroom, and behind the man, there was another person who seemed to be a subordinate. From the door Then passed by in a flash.
But Mu You recognized the clothes of this subordinate. The familiar white uniform and badge were exactly the clothes he had seen the Illuminati wearing before.
So this door belongs to the Illuminati?
Mu You frowned. So who is the person who opened the door? Gemini or Taurus?
Due to the distance, the omniscient crystal cannot directly read this person's information.
However, if this sect really belongs to the Illuminati, the owner can obviously only be one of the two founders, Taurus and Gemini, and with this body type, Mu You is more likely to be a Taurus.
Just at this time, the beetle also transmitted the sound from the door on the other side.
"How was the harvest?" the muscular man asked.
"It's okay, but...there was an accident..." the boatman said with a somewhat uneasy look.
"Accident?"
"The last trip just now was a mistake, and the boat... was also stolen..."
The man suddenly frowned and said seriously: "What's going on?"
The boatman hurriedly described what he had just encountered, but his words were obviously a bit evasive. He only said that the man could breathe underwater. He did not expect this and was stolen from the boat.
The man obviously knew the virtues of his men, and his words were probably biased. After thinking about it for a while, he could reconstruct what happened.
But after he figured it out, he immediately realized something, hurriedly walked out of the door, and looked around vigilantly, but found nothing suspicious.
"Were you followed by anyone when you came back?" The man frowned and looked at the boatman.
"No!"
The young man immediately shook his head and said firmly: "President, you also know that I have always been very careful in this regard."
The man looked into his eyes carefully and nodded after a moment: "Who stole your boat?"
"He is a thin-faced fisherman. He has no eyebrows, no beard, and no hair. He is easy to identify..." the boatman said immediately.
"Go back and draw this person's face, and let the intelligence department pay attention later." The man patted the young man on the shoulder and let him in.
Then he himself stepped inside the door.
However, just as he was about to enter the door, the man suddenly turned around and sprinkled a handful of dispelling powder backwards.
This dispersing powder wave had a range of one to two hundred meters, covering the entire island and nearby sea areas.
However, after the powder was spilled, the surroundings were still empty, and no invisible matter appeared.
The man then entered the door and opened it ajar again.
"This guy is cautious enough, but fortunately he hid far enough away..."
Mu You stayed at the bottom of the water far away, neither moving nor letting the beetle move. Now he still needs to confirm the closing time of this door.
After waiting for a while, Mu You saw several people wearing various skins coming to the door. Like the boatman just now, they knocked on the door and were taken in by the man.
This man is indeed careful enough. Every time someone comes back, he will go out and walk around suddenly, and suddenly sprinkle a handful of powder around, but he has never been able to catch anything.
After waiting like this for an hour, Mu You found that the man started to look at his watch frequently. It seemed that it was almost closing time.
Another three or four minutes passed, and suddenly another small boat came to the sea in the distance. This time, the boat was carrying a man in black robes.
"This outfit..."
Mu You was startled again. He was dressed in black robes and no light at all. Could it be the legendary Ten Commandments Society?
How come these two families are still together?
After the man in black robe in the distance docked, he put away the boat and teleported directly to the door.
The two were obviously familiar with each other, and the man immediately went out to greet them.
"All preparations are made. Action will take place in four days..." The man in black robe whispered in a hoarse voice.
"Don't say it here..."
The man immediately made a silence gesture, glanced around cautiously, and then pointed to the door, indicating to the other party to go in first.
The man in black robe subconsciously scanned the surroundings, nodded, and entered the door first.
The man followed him into the door and stood at the door looking at the time. Tens of seconds later, the door closed automatically.
This time it was completely closed, not even a crack was left, and the entire door disappeared into the air over there, as if everything just now was an illusion.
Action in four days?
The last conversation between the two piqued Mu You's curiosity.
What action?
Today is Saturday, and four days later it will be next Wednesday. What do they want to do next Wednesday?
Forget it if there is only the Illuminati, it is just a second-rate organization with little impact. But it's different with the Ten Commandments Association. Whenever this group of people takes action, it will definitely be no big deal!
It's a pity that you can't guess anything from this sentence alone.
Shaking his head, Mu You had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.
I looked at my watch, it was 10:35 in the morning.
After keeping this time in mind, Mu You summoned the beetle back and then quietly left the area.
He did not go over to check, nor did he place any teleportation array nearby.
With the caution shown by that Taurus, these unnecessary actions are likely to become a lever, especially the teleportation array.
In the entire Secret Art Association, only he, Scorpio, and Cancer currently master the secret technique of dark teleportation. Once the teleportation array is discovered by the other party, it can easily be locked to them.
It wasn't until he was far enough away from the island that Mu You took out the small boat and rushed back to the Devil's Sea by boat.
It was much faster when we rushed back. The speed of this small boat was really good, especially under the favorable wind. It was like a flying fish riding the wind and waves on the sea, shuttling back and forth.
Soon Mu You returned to the Devil's Sea again.
Stopping at the boundary line of the Devil's Sea, Mu You opened the map. The marked shipwreck location was located near a blood-red coral reef.
Mu You first determined his position on the map at this time, and then carefully estimated the direction and distance of the marked point he wanted to go to, and then sailed in the determined direction.
This sea is called Devil, which sounds scary, but in fact the sea is quite calm. Precisely because of the inability to resurrect here, ordinary people and creatures do not dare to approach it easily. On the contrary, navigation in it is smooth.
This time we sailed, the distance was relatively long. The Devil's Triangle sea area is still very large. Along the way, Mu You referred to the various small islands and reefs marked on the map and constantly adjusted his direction. He drove from morning to dusk before finally finding the coral reef group.
After confirming that this was the place marked on the map, Mu You wandered into the deep sea far away from the reefs, put away the boat, and plunged into the sea.
The sea bottom here is actually shallower than expected. After diving for more than 120 meters, it sank to the bottom.
As soon as he landed, Mu You felt he stepped on something and made a crunching sound.
Looking down, I saw it was a skull.
It wasn't that he happened to land on a skull by chance, but that there were densely packed human and animal bones hidden under the surrounding mud on the sea floor, almost filling the bottom of the sea. There was no normal place to stay.
Mu You could only move forward one foot at a time, stepping on his bones.
It's calm on the sea, but not under the sea.
Not long after Mu You landed, green ghosts emerged from the surrounding bones, screaming and hovering around him.
These are unlucky guys who accidentally died here due to shipwreck or various reasons. Their bodies were corroded into skeletons, and their souls turned into ghosts.
The concept of losing lifespan after becoming a ghost. Unless it is purified or swallowed by other ghosts, it can only be trapped at the bottom of the sea and suffer eternal torture.
The long period of mental torture has already caused them to lose all their humanity, leaving only the instinct to attack and devour each other.
After surrounding Muyou for a while, some ghosts gradually became bolder and penetrated through Muyou's body.
Mu You suddenly felt a chill in his body, and a tiny piece of his soul was torn off. His blood volume did not decrease, but his spirit became weaker.
This loss was quickly recovered, but with so many ghosts, if one came up to bite him, his spirit would be exhausted in an instant and he would fall into a coma. His soul would be eaten by the ghosts, and he would turn into a skeleton under the sea from then on. One……
At this time, the omniscient crystal has already shown the attributes of a ghost.
[Ordinary ghost (level 3-7): attack power 3-21, health value 200-1000, magic value 100-900, ability: soul bite, possessed skeleton. Negative talent: Earthbound, unable to move too far from the place of death. 】
These ghosts are very weak, but a very troublesome thing is that they are immune to physical attacks. All physical damage will penetrate directly through them and cannot cause damage.
Fortunately, they are not immune to magic, otherwise they would really be invincible.
Mu You directly released a circle of fire, and the raging flames rolled past, driving away a circle of resentful spirits around him.
But these guys are not very afraid of fire magic. In an environment like the bottom of the sea, fire magic cannot exert much power and will be greatly weakened if it appears. The attack power of magic with other attributes is insufficient.
The only things that can really cause restraint damage to ghosts and make them fearful are the attack magic of thunder and holy light.
Unfortunately, Mu You does not have these two spells at hand now, but he does have another weapon that can effectively kill ghosts-Vampire Claws!
The casting material of the Vampire's Claw is the 'Soul Purifying Stone', which is a stone specially used to destroy the soul. Therefore, although the Vampire's Claw is a physical weapon, it can directly attack ghosts.
Mu You directly switched to vampire skin. It's just dusk now, and the Night King's attribute bonuses haven't taken effect yet, but it's enough to have claw weapons that can be used.
Mu You pierced a ghost behind him that wanted to sneak attack him.
The claws inserted into the ghost's body, and there was a hissing sound, like the sound of roasted meat melting.
The ghost wailed in pain, and its health dropped rapidly. Mu You tightened his claws and strangled the ghost completely.
[You killed an ordinary ghost (level 4) and gained 4 experience points. 】
There is no lifespan gained after killing this thing, and there is no drop reward. It is far less cost-effective than killing normal monsters.
But at least he was able to gain experience. Seeing the experience bar slowly rising, Mu You gained some motivation. He waved his claws and bullied these little ghosts, killing them all at the bottom of the sea. He quickly used up the few remaining experience bars. Fill up.
[Experience value: 645/640, do you want to upgrade? 】
Mu You was promoted to level nine on the spot, with all attributes increased by one. 5 points of free attributes, 1 point of agility, 2 points of intelligence, and the remaining two points are added to the constitution to continue to increase the upper limit of health.
His current attributes are: 12 points of strength, 24 points of agility, 36 points of intelligence, and 14 points of constitution.
The density of ghosts on the seabed is high enough, so killing monsters and upgrading is very satisfying. However, as more and more ghosts are attracted, Mu You will soon be unable to kill them.
Seeing that he was about to be surrounded by dense green shadows, Mu You decisively switched to ghost form and assimilated into one of the ghosts.
After eliminating the breath of the living person, the ghosts finally calmed down a bit, looking around confusedly, as if searching for where the living life had been hidden.
Mu You took advantage of the one-minute ghost time to escape from the siege of the ghost group, found a nearby submarine peak without skeletons, and lay down on the narrow top of the mountain.
Looking at the hordes of ghost legions below, almost filling the bottom of the sea, Mu You also felt his scalp numb. This scene is really weird to the extreme. Anyone with a poor psychological quality would probably faint from the shock.
Shaking his head, Mu You took out the lamp post from his backpack and shook the bell on it.
The bell rang, and the lamppost above quickly dimmed. A weak soul figure emerged in the light, appearing to be a man wearing a pirate hat.
"Hey, I've arrived at the place where the Ghost sank. Where is your ship?"
Mu You asked in Xingling language. When he was brushing ghosts just now, he had scanned the surroundings. There were only dense skeletons and silt on the seabed, and there was no trace of any ship at all.
In such a large sea area, it is impossible to find the ship without some guidance.
Unexpectedly, Willy became excited as soon as he appeared this time. He lay on the edge of the lamppost and scanned the seabed below: "I can feel it! It's nearby...the breath of the enemy, and my beloved ship..."
"In which direction?"
"Over there!" Willy felt it and quickly pointed out a direction.
Mu You had no choice but to switch to ghost form, rush in his direction, and then continue to search under the guidance of the other party.
After almost an hour of following the directions back and forth, Willy's prompts finally stopped.
"right here!"
Mu You was floating in the sky far away from the bottom of the sea, and Willy in the lamppost excitedly pointed downwards.
"you sure?"
Mu You glanced down. Below was just a flat seabed sandy area covered with skeletons. It was hard to tell that a large ship was buried there.
"It can't be wrong! Right at our feet, the smell of my poor Ghost, and the filthy, disgusting smell of the traitors!"
Seeing that Willy's eyes were red and his whole body was shaking with excitement, Mu You hurriedly put him back into his backpack. Don't let his excited soul dissipate before he found the boat.
Mu You switched to ghost form, sank into the seabed sand, and searched around.
However, except for skeletons and sand, there was nothing else nearby.
Seeing that the time to enter the ghost form was approaching, Mu You was thinking about whether to switch back to the real body and take out the pumpkin lantern to take a photo.
As a result, as soon as he returned to his physical form, he suddenly felt weak under his feet.
The sand below seemed hollow and could not bear his weight, turning into quicksand and swallowing him directly.
Suddenly falling into the depths of the sand, and still falling at a rapid speed, Mu You was surprised, but did not struggle because he had already seen the prompts in his mind.
[You have entered the 'Abyss of the Dead', which is a passage set aside by a group of undead pirates in order to preserve their ships and the remaining humanity, hoping that one day they will be able to see the light of day again. 】
Mu You slid down the path of the dead, and a few minutes later, he fell into a deeper and darker sea.
Under the sea, is there another sea area?
Mu You didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly swam toward a bright spot somewhere above.
In this claustrophobic deep sea that is so dark that there is no light, any land creature will subconsciously move towards that little bit of light.
After a while, Mu You penetrated the light and surfaced.
What appeared in front of him was a vast space with a height of sixty or seventy meters, and he was lying on the stalactites on the shore.
Judging from the location, this should be a hollow stone layer between the bottom of the Devil's Sea and the deeper sea.
At the same time, another reminder appeared in his mind: [You have reached the shipwreck, the resting place for the souls of a group of pirate outlaws. 】
"Is this really where it is..."
Mu You climbed ashore, holding a wand, and scanned the surrounding environment.
There is air in this space, and there are many luminous aquatic plants growing, which illuminates this place.
The ground was filled with quicksand and various fish skeletons. The surrounding boulders, like the fingers of death, blocked other directions and isolated a conspicuous path in this space.
Mu You walked along the path, stepping on dead bones.
After passing a stone arch, Mu You saw the huge ship moored in the sand in the distance.
It was a two-masted ship, nearly a hundred meters long, and its mast almost reached the ceiling of the stone layer above.
However, this majestic giant ship was broken into two pieces from the middle, which was extremely regrettable.
Mu You had no time to feel sorry for the ship, because as he approached, ghosts quickly emerged from the hull.
As expected, these ghosts were all dressed up as pirates, holding muskets and swords. Looking at Mu You in the distance, they seemed to be beasts that had discovered fresh meat, and they all rushed towards him with wild laughter.
The level of these pirate ghosts is higher than that of the ghosts on the seabed, generally between level 5 and 10. It seems that they still retain considerable intelligence, and they actually know how to cooperate in their actions!
Mu You used the vampire claw to deal with several pirate ghosts, but the problem was still there, there were too many, so he had to switch to ghost form and retreat to the shore.
Fortunately, these ghosts are restricted by the earth binding and cannot leave the ship too far, so they cannot catch up to the entrance here for the time being.
Mu You stood in the distance and observed a circle. There were at least four hundred pirate ghosts here.
If there was enough time, Mu You wouldn't mind slowly wearing away these ghosts, but the problem was that he was very pressed for time. It was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and he only had the last two hours left.
In this situation, it seems that only Shadow Ghost can take action...
Mu You first opened his backpack, called Vivian out, and asked her if Shadow Ghost could deal with ghosts.
"Of course, shadow ghosts are inherently semi-spiritual beings. They don't even need to be possessed to attack ghosts directly," Vivian said.
"Very good!"
Mu You immediately felt much more relaxed when he heard that there was no need to possess him. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to use shadow ghosts safely in this ghost place where resurrection is impossible.
Taking out the shadow ghost box, Mu You rushed to the pirate ship again, threw the box among the dead souls, and then quickly retreated before the ghosts surrounded him.
Here, Vivian has remotely controlled the box with magic, released the shadow ghost, and then used the flying spell to summon the box back.
After the shadow ghost appeared, he originally wanted to find someone to possess him immediately. However, as soon as he appeared, he saw dense ghosts surrounding him. He became furious and swung his claws to tear apart the two nearest dead souls.
When the other pirate ghosts saw that one of their own had been killed, they instantly became hostile to Shadow Ghost. They roared and swarmed up, biting at Shadow Ghost from all angles.
But these low-level ghosts are no match for Shadow Ghost.
Mu You and Vivian were hiding on the distant shore and watching.
This was the first time Mu You had witnessed Shadow Ghost's battle with his own eyes, and it finally made him know what cruelty meant.
The shadow ghost is like a tiger charging into a herd of sheep, killing all the ghosts in the crowd. All ghosts can't survive two attacks under its claws. Once caught, they will be torn into pieces in the next second and then swallowed by it. The belly becomes part of its own energy.
After killing more than a hundred ghosts in a row, the other pirate ghosts finally gave up. They surrounded the shadow ghost one by one, but did not dare to get close. Finally, they all retreated into the cabin in fear and disappeared.
Shadow Ghost was about to go after him, but at this moment, a loud roar sounded from inside the ship.
A skeleton-shaped soul that was more than ten times taller than the ghosts just now, with a crown on his head, a captain's cape behind him, and a giant sword in his hand, slowly walked out of the cabin.
The height of more than ten meters is in sharp contrast with Shadow Ghost's thin figure.
At this time, Mu You felt that the lamppost in his backpack suddenly began to tremble violently, so he took it out to take a look. Willy appeared automatically in the lamppost, staring at the skeleton ghost in front of him with red eyes, and said excitedly: "That's him, my vice-captain Victor, the leader of the betrayers, the culprit of everything, as long as you help me solve it If you kill him, the ghost ship will be yours!"
Mu You glanced over there, and the attributes of the giant ghost were reflected back in the omniscient crystal.
[Level 30 pirate ghost leader, attack power 300-400, health value 45,200, magic value 12,000...]
"Level 30?!!"
Mu You was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he had seen it wrong.
How could there be such a high-level ghost? Besides, if he really had this kind of strength, he should have been able to get everything he wanted in the world of stars. Why would he be a pirate during his lifetime?
"Because he has been devouring and absorbing the power of other undead."
Vivian explained without any surprise: "This kind of environment where earth-bound ghosts gather is like raising voodoos. It is easy to raise some extremely high-level ghosts."
"No wonder the other ghosts at the bottom of the sea are so weak..."
Mu You nodded and looked at the battlefield in the distance again.
At this time, the shadow ghost and the ghost have already fought together. Both sides are hot-tempered masters. Once they start fighting, they can never stop. Each other is using all means to tear the other side violently.
Mu You originally thought he was safe, but in his mind Shadow Ghost was an invincible existence. How could he lose one on one?
After watching it for a while, he suddenly realized something was wrong: facing this level 30 monster, Shadow Ghost actually felt like he was being suppressed!
"You can't beat him, right?" Mu You's eyelids twitched a few times.
If he loses this fight, he will suffer a big loss. Not only will he not be able to complete the mission, he will also lose a shadow ghost.
