The hull of the ship was cut in half, and the buildings and navigation equipment on the ship were also neatly cut apart.
Torn wooden planks and iron ropes were flying everywhere. Through the cracked section in the center of the hull, a large amount of seawater poured in, filling the nearby cabins in the blink of an eye.
The bow and stern of the ship began to tilt up, and the ship's hull began to slow down and quickly sank into the sea.
"Repairing spell, quick!"
At this time, the emperor, as the leader, was calm in the face of danger and gave orders decisively. At the same time, he also took the lead in releasing the repair spell on the hull.
Others with restorative spells followed suit.
The earlier the repair spell was damaged, the better the effect. At this moment, they responded in time, and even the serious damage of the hull fracture was narrowly rescued in the end.
Under several rays of repair light, the keel slowly joined together, and the hull slowly returned to its intact state.
However, due to too much seawater being poured in during the repair process, the entire ship still showed a tendency to sink.
"Get in the water and have a look!"
However, no one had time to pay attention to the water entering the hull. After barely stabilizing the hull, they immediately assigned several people with underwater combat capabilities to jump into the sea to check the situation.
Smile was among them, and several of them were ready to be attacked as soon as they entered the water.
However, when they actually entered the water, they found that it was quiet underwater, the imaginary attack did not appear, and no one could be seen nearby.
"There's no one underwater!"
After using the probing technique to circle around the area, Xiaoxiao finally came to this conclusion.
"sure?"
"Confirm! The other party has left." Xiao Xiao said with certainty, because he also used arcane missiles along the way. Even people who were deeply invisible could not escape his eyes, but he still did not find any abnormalities. The only explanation is, It means that the other party has left the vicinity.
"What's going on? This man hid himself just to give him a beating?" The devil frowned and looked at the emperor.
The arc of electricity just now really shocked them. If it was in the previous era, that single blow would have been enough to capsize a ship, but this is in the magical world after all. Even such damage is far from a real ship destruction. Death is not even close.
They thought that that moment was just a prelude, and that the other party would definitely have a steady stream of follow-up moves. But in the end, was it really the end?
"Has this person escaped?" the devil asked.
"Perhaps... he guessed that we were testing him and didn't want to expose his strength?" Smile raised a possibility.
The emperor shook his head and continued to issue orders: "Continue to search, and inform other ships to be careful..."
It was indeed possible that the opponent did not want to reveal his strength, but his intuition told him that the opponent's counterattack should not end so simply. There would probably be a back-up move...
As a result, before he could finish his words, he heard another man in the castle exclaim: "No, this person seems to be coming to our side. The Flywheel has just been attacked!"
"Flywheel?"
The emperor and the devil were stunned when they heard this, and hurriedly took the warship formation distribution map on the side.
The eight ships are distributed in an octagonal shape, and the Flywheel is the closest ship to them in the upper right corner of the Spades.
However, the so-called recent time is thousands of meters away, and how long has it been since the other party attacked them? It takes less than half a minute. The opponent is just a fish, so he can't move so fast, right?
"What attack did you receive?" the emperor asked hurriedly.
"The text prompt is an electric arc that emerged from the sea. It is still cutting the hull and has almost torn our ship into eight pieces..."
"President, it can't be repaired..." the members assigned to the Flywheel complained incessantly.
The main force of the battle is basically arranged on the Spades. Of course, there are people on other ships who can repair spells, but repairing is not as easy as destroying. The opponent has such a 'big sword' and hides it under the water to show off his power. He won't cut it. People specialize in cutting down ships, and no matter how hard they try to repair them, they can't keep up with the speed at which the hull is destroyed.
"No need to fix it, let's all go into the water and find the trace of that man!" The emperor made a decision immediately.
"yes!"
The people on the Flywheel abandoned the ship and took to the water.
However, after searching around, he still couldn't find the other party's shadow.
"President, I found a scale here. The text says it is a mermaid scale!" the only subordinate who found something reported.
"Mermaid?" Everyone looked at each other, their faces even more strange. Could it be that the other party got help from the mermaid?
"All people and ships, move closer to the center of the formation!" The emperor immediately changed the order.
Now it seems that the opponent does not attack people, but only ships. It is obvious that they have seen through the uneven distribution of their combat power and are ready to find those weak points to defeat them one by one.
Others heard the words and acted according to the order.
However, within just a few minutes of their gathering, two more ships were chopped over like melons and vegetables, and sank into the sea forever.
Seeing this result, everyone was glad that the president's order was issued quickly enough, otherwise, the ships present today would have been completely destroyed.
Soon, all the ships and personnel finally converged. Hundreds of people crowded on the five ships, but they still did not dare to relax. After all, the opponent was a legendary master, and it was in the dark of the enemy.
At this time, the five ships have been completely wrapped in fog. Layers of fog are rolling around, and the visibility is less than ten meters. Who knows from which direction the opponent will attack next.
Faced with the pressure of a legendary master, everyone could only maintain a high degree of vigilance and stare at their phones without blinking.
I kept staring like this for more than two hours. It wasn't until the dark night cleared and the sky began to show the whiteness of fish belly that the game finally sent a message that 'the fog has cleared'.
"The fog has cleared?"
"Yeah, the other party should have left, right?"
"have no idea……"
Everyone was discussing in confusion. This situation where the enemy was in the dark and they were in the open was too uncomfortable. They didn't even know when the other party left. It was very likely that they had already withdrawn, leaving a group of them here to stare at each other for two days. Hours.
"Is this person really gone?" The devil was still a little suspicious.
"Gone." The emperor sighed secretly, and the fog dissipated. This time the other party must have really left.
However, precisely because the fog has just dissipated, it means that the other party has most likely just left.
Of course, he had no intention of chasing after them again. Although the opponent was a bit cunning in this battle, resulting in their strength not being fully demonstrated, it also proved that the opponent was not afraid of their human wave tactics at sea.
"This man is a bit louder than raindrops. He cut down three of our ships but hardly had any direct combat with our people. In a sense, this is also a sign of guilty conscience." The devil sneered.
"You can't say that. Maybe the other party just doesn't want us to see clearly what's true and false? Maybe they are deliberately making us think this way, thereby underestimating the enemy..." said with a smile.
The emperor shook his head and said: "No matter what, tonight at least proved that the world-destroying forbidden spell this person used when pushing down the tower cannot be used casually. Otherwise, our ship would have been easily destroyed just now, and It doesn’t require the other party to chop it off with one knife after another.”
After finishing speaking, he clicked on the friend interface, found 'Ghost Captain', and sent a private message.
[Emperor: Don’t forget to attend the gathering on the 26th. 】
The other party responded quickly.
[Captain Ghost: This is exactly what I want to remind you. 】
[Emperor: Goodbye. 】
[Captain Ghost: Goodbye. 】
The conversation stopped there.
In the lock cylinder space, Mu You looked at the prompts on his phone and exhaled slightly.
Two hours ago, after destroying the opponent's ship, Mu You directly let the Ghost take advantage of the cover of the fog to set off, heading straight for the Evil Spirit Sea.
He and the mermaid stayed near Tianzi and others, continuing to maintain the Heart of Mist, until the Ghost had withdrawn far enough, and then they were taken away by the mermaid.
The mermaid was as fast as lightning in the water. Pulling Mu You along with him, he quickly caught up with the Ghost.
This was the first confrontation between him and the Emperor. Because the main body was basically in reality and the control was only the mental clone in the game, it was relatively restrained. No one really tried their best. It was more like a tentative feint.
Judging from the result, he took some advantage and destroyed three of the opponent's ships in a row, but for a big force like the Divine Right of Kings, this loss is not painful.
It's not impossible to continue fighting, but it's just meaningless. In a situation where both sides can go offline at any time, no matter how many shots he takes, he can't hurt the opponent, and will only expose more of his own cards and strength.
There is also a more important reason: he cannot afford to lose his physical strength.
Just the operation of cutting down the ship just now consumed Mu You more than fifty points of mobility. If the fight continued, even if he could win, his lifespan would be reduced by a layer.
"So the emperor should have mastered four fragments, including one and nine..."
Mu You secretly analyzed the information obtained from this confrontation.
The Son of Heaven has four pieces, and he has two in his hand, plus Jack should have collected three pieces, so there are nine fragments!
In other words, the way to find the fragments has been blocked. Next, he must grab a fragment from the emperor or Jack to open the map.
After the game character returned to the ghost ship, Mu You immediately took out something from the captain's cabin.
[You take out the 'Compass of Destiny' and imagine a place in your mind: the entrance to the City of Auroville. 】
[However, the needle of the compass of destiny keeps spinning and does not point in any direction. 】
[The instructions of the compass of destiny cannot point out the place of illusory impressions. More clear prompts are needed to anchor the coordinates. 】
"It really doesn't work..."
Mu You sighed. The compass of destiny cannot give instructions just by thinking of a place. It must have a precise name to anchor the target before it can give instructions. For example, just imagine an 'imperial capital' or a 'mountain'. The compass can only give instructions. It will keep spinning in circles, because there are too many imperial cities and mountains in the Star Spirit Realm, and more clear prompts must be given, such as 'Ranel Imperial Capital', 'Misty Mountain', etc., to anchor to a clear location. Only the compass can give clues.
There are two entrances to Auroville. For the compass to work, he must know the specific location of one of the entrances. Once he is confused or ambiguous and he is not sure, the compass will fail.
"It seems we have to grab the fragments from the Emperor's side..."
Mu You sighed. When the compass was ineffective, Yi and Jiu became a necessity. At least one must be obtained.
At this time, a prompt came from the text.
[You have entered the sea of evil spirits. 】
[You see a pirate ship with a skull and crossbones flag in front of you. 】
[The pirate ship discovered you and accelerated towards the Ghost. You choose...]
As soon as we entered the evil spirit sea, we immediately ran into someone else's ship.
But this time it should be a real pirate.
Mu You did not rush to choose, but first teleported back to Misty Mountain, put the Heart of Misty back into the tomb, and then went to Phoenix City to take the Pandaren back to the Ghost.
During the next voyage in the Evil Spirit Sea, he will encounter more and more pirates. The Ghost needs to keep on the road, but he cannot keep an eye on it all the time. He can only entrust the giant panda to help him guard the ship. .
[You invite Pandaren to travel around to help you defend against incoming enemies. 】
[The Pandaren looked at the pirate ship in front and said it was a piece of cake. He can help you guard the Ghost next, but only if you treat him to a drink afterwards! 】
[You agreed to the panda man’s request and promised him that when he gets to Nax Island, he will treat him to a drink! 】
[The panda laughed and jumped off the boat. The water was like the ground under its feet. The panda stepped on the water and easily approached the oncoming ship...]
[The bamboo stick fell, wine fog rose on the pirate ship, the panda breathed fire, and the deck was suddenly covered in blazing flames...]
[The Ghost quickly closed the distance and directly rammed into the opponent's ship. 】
[Three hundred ghost crew members possessed their own skeletons. In the form of skeleton soldiers, they rushed onto the opponent's ship and started fighting with the pirates. 】
[At the same time, the bottom of the pirate ship seemed to have been attacked by some kind of marine life. Several holes appeared under the ship, and seawater poured in like water columns...]
[The pirate ship is sinking...]
[You defeated the opponent's pirate ship, and the pirates abandoned the ship and fled. 】
[You ordered the ghost crew to search the pirate ship and obtained 3 barrels of pirate rum, two ship cannons, some navigation tools, and a large amount of wood...]
At the end of the battle, a bunch of miscellaneous loot was collected. The rum was collected by the pandaren, and the rest was confiscated as Ghost property.
Mu You did not participate in this battle, just to see how the Ghost's combat effectiveness was without him.
The result made him very satisfied. The pandas' group damage was incredible, and the ghost crew's combat effectiveness was no worse than that of humans. The most important thing was that they were not afraid of death and fought extremely fiercely. In addition, there were mermaids responsible for causing trouble underwater. Taken together, The fighting ability is quite good, and it is definitely enough to travel in this pirate territory.
After confirming this, Mu You quit the game and took a rest.
But he couldn't sleep for long. Just an hour later, it was already bright.
At six o'clock in the morning, Xiaoya and Lin Xue came to the pet store early and brought a bunch of children's clothes and daily necessities.
These are all prepared for little lolita. Mu You was pulled up sleepily and opened the backpack entrance for them.
"Boss, just take a rest today and leave the store to us!" Xiaoya saw the dark circles on Mu You's face and knew that he must have not slept for several days.
"No, I'll just sit down for a while..." Mu You waved his hand.
He was no longer sleepy after being woken up. What's more, after his intelligence attribute is high, his need for sleep will be greatly reduced, so even if he stays up late for a long time, it actually doesn't have much impact on his body. He can just sit and meditate for a while. Refresh yourself.
At this time, the cabin prepared for the little girl in the space has been repaired in a presentable manner. Not only has the area been enlarged, but it has also been raised to two floors. The storage rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms and other spaces inside have also been reasonably arranged. It is divided and looks like an exquisite small bungalow.
Lin Xue made the little girl's bed and tidied her clothes in the house, while Xiaoya ran to shine the light of evolution on the animals.
After Mu You wandered around in his backpack doing nothing for a while, he was suddenly called over by Xiaoya.
"Boss, Little Spider seems to be evolving!"
"oh?"
Mu You hurriedly followed Xiaoya to take a look.
Sure enough, the eight spider legs of the little spider curled up into a ball, and the surface of the body was once again covered with a layer of crystal material, degenerating into the shape of an eggshell, just like the last time it evolved.
When Mu You came over, there were already cracks on the crystal shell, and the little spider in the shell was trembling slightly, as if trying to break free from the constraints around it.
After bathing in the light of evolution for a few more minutes, the crystal shell finally made a crunching sound. Several cracks appeared on the top of the shell, and then it shattered with a continuous cracking sound.
At the same time, the body of the little spider in the shell also cracked from the back, opening a crack like a zipper. After a while, a slightly smaller spider struggled to get out of the peeled outer skin. From the head, to the spider body, to the spider legs.
After completely coming out of the outer skin, a transparent empty shell was left in place. The little spider lay weakly on the side. After seeing Mu You in front of him, it forced its eight legs up and staggered toward him. Walking forward, it seemed as if she wanted to crawl onto his hand again.
Mu You hurriedly picked it up and sent it back to the light of evolution.
The whole body of a little spider that has just shed its shell is soft, and even the carapace on its back is as soft as a sponge. It needs a period of recovery before it can regain its hardness.
Mu You returned the little spider to the light to continue its recovery, and used the omniscient crystal to check its attributes.
[The Gluttonous Demon Spider (level 11) (strengthened jumping, enhanced web-weaving): The evolved form of the Gluttonous Demon Spider has strengthened its jumping ability and web-weaving ability. Attack power 99-120, health value 10,000, magic value 3,000. Abilities: Spider Web, Venomous Bite, Devour, Jump Dash, Spinning Web. 】
The little spider has been stuck at the bottleneck of level 10 evolution before. Now it has finally completed its evolution and has been promoted to level 11. Its attributes have been comprehensively improved, and it also has a new ability.
[Weaving Web: Use energy to quickly weave a transparent spider web nearby. The Taotie Demon Spider can flash at will within the range of the spider web. The cooling time is 0.5 seconds, and the recovery rate of life and magic is greatly increased. 】
A new web-building ability. The little spider can teleport at will with half a second of cooling within the range of the web it has built. In addition, it also has a significant increase in battery life. It can be said that as long as it is within the web it has built. , the combat effectiveness will be improved several times.
As for the specific effect and how big the spider web can be weaved, we need to wait for the little spider to recover and conduct actual measurements before we can determine it.
Next, Mu You guarded the little spider and waited for it to recover.
And perhaps good things come in pairs. Just when Xiaoya's lighting time was about to end today, the phoenix egg that Mu You had just brought back a few days ago actually made a clicking sound, and a crack appeared on the top of the egg shell.
"Chirp!"
Accompanied by a powerful cry, a raging fire element suddenly emerged from the top of the shell, like a small volcano erupting, burning the surrounding grass into ashes. The animals that were enjoying themselves in the surroundings were all confused. Their fur was burnt, and they all screamed and fled in all directions.
