Shadow ghosts also have limits!
Mu You realized this for the first time.
Judging from the current battle situation, level 30 is probably the upper limit of its capabilities.
The reason why it seems that it is no match for this level 30 ghost now is because the shadow ghost has no consciousness and is always fighting instinctively.
But that ghost is smart and can adopt some tactics to amplify his offensive and defensive capabilities, so it is easy to gain an advantage.
Of course, Shadow Ghost is not easy to restrain. When suppressed, it transforms into a violent berserker and instinctively adopts a more intense strategy of exchanging injuries for injuries.
And as it increased its speed, the Pirate Ghost had to follow suit in order to maintain suppression. He swung the giant sword wildly again and again, and began a drastic exchange of damage with the Shadow Ghost.
It's just that this wave of exchanges was too wild. Both sides almost gave up dodging and parrying, and just kept slicing the sharp blades and claws across each other's bodies, and the overflowing souls kept splashing out from the two soul bodies.
Mu You silently observed the life points on both sides, and soon discovered that the life force on both sides, which seemed to be declining smoothly, was actually falling slightly slower on the pirate side.
No wonder this guy chose to fight Shadow Ghost. He had probably planned it long ago. If the fight continued like this, he would definitely win.
Seeing that the fight between the two sides has reached a fierce stage, both health points have dropped by 50%, but Shadow Ghost has already dropped to 40%, and the gap between the two sides has indeed become obvious.
Mu You knew that he had to intervene. It didn't matter if the two hard-blooded men were fighting against each other. Now that you are so clever and bully my shadow ghost, can you still succeed?
On the battlefield, the pirate ghost moved sideways to avoid Shadow Ghost's claw attack, and was about to turn around and take advantage of the situation to pursue and strike with a sword. However, as soon as he took a step, he felt a whistling sound behind him.
Subconsciously looking back, he saw a huge fireball coming towards him at an extremely tricky angle.
Can you not be cunning? Mu You practiced this fireball more than 30 times with a pocket watch before he found the best angle and timing. He happened to see the opponent halfway through the attack and attacked from the side. By the time the opponent noticed, it was gone. The space he had to dodge was completely smashed.
"boom!"
The next moment, the flames exploded.
Although a level 30 ghost faces Mu You, an ordinary player who is less than level 10, with up to four levels of damage reduction buff suppression, the damage is only 6% of the original, but after all, the vampire skin still has the talent of giant killer, 5 With the multiplier, the damage was increased to 30%.
The small fireball technique with one-third of its original power hit the ghost, but it would not seriously damage his vitality, and it would be more than enough to cause some interference.
With one blow, the pirate's movements were deformed, and his sword struck the air. Instead, the shadow ghost who turned around violently pierced his stomach. A large area of souls spilled out, and his life bar dropped sharply. He was originally in the lead. The slight advantage was instantly pulled back to the same loss.
"Roar!"
The ghost roared angrily and wanted to turn around to see who was behind the trick. Unfortunately, the shadow ghost didn't give him a chance. Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, the ghost chased and beat him with claws and claws. The ghost had to hurriedly put all his energy into it. Put back on the parry.
However, just when he stabilized the situation and was about to fight back again, another strong wave of magic power suddenly struck behind him.
This time, the ghost learned a lesson. He didn't even have time to look back and hurriedly rolled to the side.
I thought that this timely reaction was enough to avoid the sneak attack, but unexpectedly, I fell into a trap and was blown away by a snowball that rolled quickly.
It turned out that the snowball was not hitting him, but was launching towards the side. Nothing happened to him if he didn't move. However, when he rolled, he seemed to be deliberately cooperating with the performance, and hit him at a very fast speed. Snowball.
The next moment, the snowball exploded and turned into countless ice crystals. Although it was not frozen because it was not more than 80 meters away, the deceleration effect brought by the snowball alone was enough for him to drink a bottle.
Among the snowflakes, the ghost's body was suddenly dyed an icy color, and its movement and attack speeds were greatly reduced. Shadow Ghost would not miss this opportunity, and rushed forward with a wild burst of attacks, taking away nearly 20% of the ghost's health in the blink of an eye. The blood volume has directly entered the residual blood stage.
The ghost was even more furious this time. He turned around and saw Mu You hiding not far away, holding up his wand, and suddenly shouted towards the cabin.
He couldn't tell them apart, but after all, he still had many younger brothers.
Under this roar, the ghosts that had been hidden just now emerged from the boat again, some of them surrounded the shadow ghosts, and some of them rushed towards Muyou's hiding place.
Seeing the imps swarming up, Mu You didn't even think about confronting them, and planned to retreat to the exit first.
As a result, before he could move, the remnant soul of Willy suddenly penetrated the lamppost and came out from the lamppost in his hand. His figure instantly grew larger and returned to normal human size. He stopped in front of Muyou and moved towards the front. He shouted: "Stop it!"
With this roar, the imps that were rushing towards him, as well as the ghosts that were surrounding the shadow ghosts in the distance, immediately stopped and looked here in disbelief.
Seeing the former captain appear, the ghosts seemed to have seen something scary. The soul fire in their eyes was swaying crazily, and their whole bodies were trembling, and they did not dare to take a step forward.
Mu You saw endless fear and guilt in the eyes of these ghosts and imps. This discovery made his heart move.
Originally, he planned to assist the shadow ghosts and kill all these ghosts, but now it seems that these little ghosts still have value?
In the distance, the big ghost was fighting against the shadow ghost at a critical moment. When he saw Willy suddenly appearing here, he was also shocked, and his soul fire was wavering.
Even though at this moment Willy could tell at a glance that he was just a remnant soul that was so weak that it could dissipate at any time and could not survive even a slap in front of him, facing the former captain still made the ghost feel a kind of love that came from his soul. Deep fear.
No matter how powerful he becomes, he can't change the fact that he is just a betrayer. Being imprisoned under this deep sea for a long time is the punishment for the betrayer.
The ghosts were shaken, but the shadow ghosts were not. They seized the opportunity of the pirate ghost's distraction and launched another wave of fierce pursuit, instantly turning the ghost's life halo into black.
On the verge of dissipating, the ghost became completely ruthless. No longer caring about the figure on the opposite side, it roared and launched a final fierce attack on the shadow ghost. However, Shadow Ghost is not afraid of this. It is synonymous with violence. If others are cruel, it will only become more cruel!
Shadow Ghost once again started the strategy of exchanging injuries for injuries. Although the health value dropped quickly compared to the ghost, after all, the advantage of the health bar lies here. After a crazy wave of injury exchange, the ghost finally ran out of health points first. In extreme reluctance, he fell to the ground wailing and turned into a wriggling soul.
However, the situation of the shadow ghost was also quite bad at this time. In the end, it narrowly won the battle, but it only had its last breath left. Its size was obviously reduced, and its spirit was also a lot weaker.
With the last of his strength, Shadow Ghost stepped forward to pick up the piece of soul containing a huge amount of energy and swallowed it into his mouth. As soon as the soul enters the mouth, it seems to be about to fall asleep after eating a full meal, and its movements become slower.
When Mu You saw this situation, he didn't hesitate at all. He teleported behind the shadow ghost and quickly pushed the sealing box over.
At this time, Vivian has already grasped the pocket watch in the distance, which will help him go back in time if he makes a mistake in sealing it.
However, it turned out that the weak Shadow Ghost had no strength to resist at this moment, and Mu You successfully sealed it into the box with quick eyesight and quick hands.
Mu You lifted the box and took a look. The shadow ghost who entered the box no longer violently hit the box to escape as before. Instead, he huddled in a corner, motionless, and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
"It must have been broken..."
Mu You was a little worried about the state of the shadow ghost, but it was too late to take a closer look at this time. There were still a bunch of ghosts in front of him waiting for him to deal with.
Putting away the shadow ghost box, Mu You teleported back behind Weili, while Vivian automatically flew back to his shoulders.
The lamppost is Villier's habitat. Just like the earthbound spirits cannot leave the place of death too far, Villier cannot leave the lamppost, otherwise the soul will dissipate at an extremely fast speed.
For example, at this moment, Willy forced his way out of the lamppost, and his soul had become obviously blurry, looming, and seemed likely to completely dissipate at any time.
"captain!"
Seeing with their own eyes that Victor, who led their rebellion, was killed, and the former captain appeared in front of them, all the pirate ghosts present suddenly lost their will to fight, dropped their weapons one by one, fell to their knees, and cried bitterly. , all praying to the captain to forgive their past mistakes and grant them soul rest.
All things are animistic. The sinking of the Ghost seven hundred years ago was not caused by someone's mistake, but the Ghost itself took them into this devilish sea. The Ghost is one of the most famous pirate ships on the sea for thousands of years, so it naturally has its own ship spirit.
They betrayed the captain and captured the Ghost, thinking that everything would be fine, but found that they still could not subdue the ship's ghost.
In the end, the Ghost had to pay the price of crashing itself, and more than four hundred of their betrayers were buried with the captain. From then on, they were buried at the bottom of the sea, and their souls were tortured for eternity.
After being imprisoned in this dark place for more than seven hundred years, their anger has been eliminated and their edges have been smoothed away. Now the only emotions left are regret and guilt.
"Stop calling me Captain!"
When Willy spoke, his voice became intermittent, but he still insisted on finishing his last words: "I have already promised others that whoever helps me avenge will get the ownership of the Ghost! From now on, he is the owner of the Ghost. Captain, your fate will also be left to the judgment of this new captain!"
Willy pointed to Mu You beside him and announced the handover of the captain's identity.
At the same time, a reminder sounded in Mu You's mind.
[The hidden mission 'Willey's Hatred' has been completed, and you have been recognized by the Spirit of the Ghost and become the new owner of the Ghost. You have the highest control authority over the Ghost. You can add and remove any boarding personnel at any time, and you can set the Ghost's route at any time. 】
"It's finally finished..."
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. He encountered many twists and turns during the process, but fortunately, he completed this large task relatively smoothly in the end. Compared with this final reward, all the previous efforts are worth it.
Willy glanced at the broken Ghost in the distance with relief and reluctance, and then looked at Mu You.
"This is a good ship. I hope you can repair it and remember to maintain it from time to time in the future. The Ghost sailing in the sea will not let you down..."
After leaving these last words, Willy smiled with relief and completely turned into a point of light and disappeared.
In the bay, only Mu You and the more than 300 ghost pirates in front were left at this moment.
All the pirates were still kneeling on the ground, looking at Mu You anxiously.
Their death place was on the Ghost, so strictly speaking, they were not trapped on the bottom of the sea, but on the ship and could not leave the Ghost too far.
The reason why this space was built to protect the ships as much as possible was so that one day there would be a chance to sail the ships out and let them see the light of day again.
But at this moment, fate is in the hands of others.
Now this stranger is the captain of the Ghost. He can throw away all the corpses on the ship at any time and take the ship away. At that time, they will be imprisoned on the bottom of the sea forever and continue to suffer endless torture.
At this moment, all the ghosts were looking at Mu You in fear and anxiety, waiting for his sentence.
Mu You looked at the group of kneeling ghosts in front of him, considered it for a moment, and then said: "Ten years... everyone, serve the Ghost for ten years, and I will forgive your sin of betrayal and give you your freedom."
Ten years, this is Mu You's condition after careful consideration. This time is easy for the ghosts to accept, and for him, after ten years, he no longer needs the help of a group of ghost crew members.
At that time, whether these ghosts want to rest in peace and reincarnate, or whether they want to lift the restrictions of the earth and continue to survive in the world as free ghosts, he no longer cares.
When the ghosts below heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. As Mu You expected, they could accept this condition.
Although they were not released directly, they could at least leave this dark seabed. Moreover, compared to the seven hundred years of suffering they have experienced, what is a mere ten years?
"I agree."
"I agree!"
"It's only been ten years..."
"agree……"
…
The pirates spoke one after another, and their voices quickly became one.
After confirming that all the ghosts agreed, Mu You took out the blood contract scroll that he had snatched from the goblins before.
"If you agree, come and sign this contract."
Mu You took out his quill and wrote the terms on the contract. The conditions are simple. Within ten years from now, the Ghost crew will be used by him. After working diligently on the Ghost for ten years, he promises to return their freedom.
None of the contract ghosts hesitated. With this kind of guarantee, they could rest assured that the contract would not be broken. At this time, they all rushed over and injected a trace of their souls into the scroll as proof of signing the contract.
After waiting for all the ghosts to complete their contracts, Mu You has completely taken over the total of 312 ghost crew members. Now the ghost will become a veritable 'ghost ship'.
Only then did Mu You have time to approach the huge ship over there, and walked into the cabin to take a look through the broken hull.
After staying in the sand for many years, the water in the cabin has been emptied out, but the smell of decay and decay is still unavoidable, with rust and dirt growing wantonly throughout the hull.
The bones of crew members can be seen everywhere on the deck and in the various cabins.
The ghosts followed Mu You and poured into the hull. One by one, they hurriedly found their own bones and got into them. Then the skeletons climbed up from the ground as if they were alive. Amidst the sound of bones colliding, a group of skeletons appeared in front of Mu You. The team was formed loosely.
"Captain, please tell me, what needs to be done next?" One of the skeletons spoke on behalf of the ghosts.
Mu You pondered for a moment and asked, "Is the ship repairman here?"
"exist!"
A skeleton hurriedly pushed past the other skeletons and walked out of the team and came to Mu You.
"How to repair this ship?" Mu You asked. The ship was so badly damaged that it was broken into two pieces in the middle. It would definitely not be possible to pull it out and sail.
"Captain, the damage to the Ghost is easy to deal with. You can just find some scrap materials and we can repair it as before. The most troublesome thing is the main hull. Now we need a strong enough sacred wood to repair the broken keel." Said the Boatman Skeleton.
"A sacred tree..."
Mu You frowned. The sacred wood mentioned by the other party does not refer to a specific kind of wood, but to a magical tree whose quality reaches a certain level of rareness. However, such wood is so easy to find.
Let's think of a solution later...
Mu You shook his head and looked at the time. It was already nine-twenty in the evening, and it was almost closing time. This matter would definitely not be finished today.
"Is there any treasure on the ship?" Mu You looked at the skeletons again and asked.
"Yes, of course!"
The ghosts hurriedly led Mu You into the treasure room at the bottom of the ship.
This small room is filled with a large amount of gold and silver jewelry. However, if you look around, you can see that they are all ordinary collectibles, and many of them have become rusty and lost due to years of Yin Qi corrosion. It has the luster it deserves.
This kind of ordinary treasure is not attractive to Mu You. What he needs are magic props.
After rummaging through the treasures, I finally found only two gems that could be called magic items.
[Blood Gem: Installed in the equipment slot, it allows the equipment to automatically restore life, restoring one point of health every second. 】
[Physique Gem: Installed in the equipment slot, it adds 5 points of physical fitness to the person wearing the equipment. 】
The effects are pretty good, one adds attributes, one automatically restores life, and the effect is permanent. Unlike potions, which have a time limit on how many times they can be used, the gems will not be lost after being loaded and can be effective for a long time.
"Are there any more?" Putting away the two gems, Mu You looked at the skeletons again.
"I know, there is also a treasure chest, the captain's most cherished treasure chest, which we are usually not allowed to touch!" said one of the skeletons.
"Where?" Mu You asked hurriedly.
"In the captain's cabin!"
Mu You then followed the skeleton to the so-called captain's room, and sure enough, he quickly found a magic treasure box there.
The box itself is also a high-grade treasure. It is blessed with a high-level magic lock, and the probability of unlocking it is less than 0.1%.
Mu You used the lock core to open the door and went back more than nine hundred times before finally opening the box.
After opening it, there were only three items stored in the rather large box: a token, a compass and a scepter.
Mu You first picked up the token and looked at it.
[Water Pass: Thousands of years ago, the royal family of the Langel Empire issued Sir Willy's pass, which allows unimpeded passage through the major magic passes within the empire and becomes invalid after robbing the country's merchant ships. 】
Pass?
Mu You was stunned for a moment. What surprised him was that this thing was actually issued by the royal family, and Willy, the big pirate leader, was actually a 'jazz'?
In other words, the existence of this group of pirates is recognized by the empire, and they have some interests connected with the royal family.
Robbery of domestic merchant ships is not allowed, but there are no restrictions on ships of other countries. This means that the empire actually encourages pirates to rob other countries' ships, and everyone will share the money after they are done. In short: rob under orders! It is precisely because of this entanglement of interests that the pirates can obtain this kind of privileged pass.
This stuff is great!
Mu You nodded. With this, he would be able to sail ships in the empire's waterways in the future. Maybe he could start some water transportation industry. Isn't this much safer than going overseas to become a pirate?
Moreover, with this underwater passage, Mu You no longer has to worry about how to get to the imperial capital.
He can even carry a boatload of players and directly break through and sail into the underground river of the imperial capital. If the timing is right, he might have a chance to steal a tower or something...
Putting away the token, Mu You looked at the remaining two things.
[Compass of Destiny: A magical compass that will always point to the location of your deepest desire. Only takes effect while at sea and on the Ghost. 】
[Sea Breeze Scepter: Let the wind blow from your back forever. Only works in the sea. 】
Both of these seem to be props specially designed for navigation. A scepter that can always keep the wind in the wind while driving, a compass that can point to the place you want and never get lost in the sea, for any navigator. Said, these two things are absolutely rare treasures, no wonder they are specially sealed in the treasure box.
Mu You took the compass and looked at it. The compass needle kept spinning in circles and could not stop.
This was because he had no specific sailing goal in mind at this time.
After thinking about it, Mu You silently recited the name of the empire's capital in his mind, and hinted that he urgently needed to go there next.
Sure enough, the compass needle stopped immediately and stayed firmly in a certain direction.
"nice one."
Mu You nodded with satisfaction and put away the three things. Then he walked out of the ship and set up a dark teleportation array on the nearby sand.
The time has come to nine forty, and it's time for him to go back.
After telling the ghosts to help him guard the teleportation array and that he would come back soon, Mu You stepped into the teleportation array.
However, he did not go back directly to the snowy plains of the north. Instead, he went outside Sunset City first to see how the fishing nets were harvesting.
After the usual whirlwind, Mu You appeared on the bottom of the sea again.
It was already late at night again, and it was pitch dark outside. Mu You swam ashore, held a lantern and stepped over the rocks on the ground, and found the buoy of the fishing net.
Putting down the jack-o'-lantern, Mu You stepped forward and pulled the fishing net. The weight of it surprised and delighted him.
Fortunately, the fishing net finally caught something this time.
What's surprising is...why is it so heavy?
Mu You struggled to pull out the fishing net, and then he realized that what was shrouded in the net was actually a mermaid covered in colorful scales.
This mermaid is only less than one meter long, with light cyan skin, gills on its neck, webbed hands, a row of fangs in its mouth, and its hair hanging in the air like little living snakes. Squirming, facing Mu You one by one, they put on a posture similar to attacking, as if threatening him not to come close.
The mermaid was currently curled up at the bottom of the fishing net, sleeping unconsciously, with obvious bait residue still left in the corner of its mouth.
