Chapter 134 Wandering Ghost Shadow

Chapter 134 "Wandering Ghost"

The reason why Wandering City is said to be alive is because it is not a town in itself, but is transformed by a person, to be precise, it was the endless resentment after the death of that person. It is ever-changing and has strange shapes, but it is the most common. Its shape is that of a port town, so in the mouth of insiders it becomes a floating city.

He used to be a fish butcher. He did backbreaking work every day, but he never made much money, just enough to maintain food and clothing.

While others are drinking, he is killing fish, others are gambling, while he is killing fish, others are playing with women, while he is killing fish.

Kill the fish, kill the fish, kill the fish!

He was fed up with this smelly, dirty, and tiring job. Why could everyone else go to sea to make a lot of money, but he could only stay in the port and kill fish? He didn't want to go on like this anymore, he didn't belong in this little dock.

With this thought in mind, he chose to make some changes for himself.

So after finishing the last day of killing fish, he used his meager savings to bribe a sailor and asked the sailor to persuade the captain to take him out to sea.

The plan went smoothly, and he succeeded. After all, for a captain, most of the sailors on the ship are cannon fodder, and it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less.

Others are also very familiar with this guy who kills fish in the port every day. No one believes that he can do anything at sea. They are ready to see his jokes. Maybe the next day he will be scared to death by the horror of sailing life and return. Go to the harbor and kill the fish of a lifetime.

But everyone is wrong. This guy who kills fish all year round seems to be born for this sea. He dares to kill sea monsters that others dare not face, and dares to provoke monsters that others dare not provoke. And every time They all survived successfully!

In a short period of time, he became the favorite of this port because of his fierce and sophisticated behavior. Every captain would pay a large price to recruit him and let him serve on his ship.

Facts have proved that these captains made the right choice, and can even be called very far-sighted, because as long as they take him with them, they will return with a full load every time they sail, and they will make a lot of money. Now everyone admits that he is Born for this sea.

And he also fulfilled his vow to himself and became famous!

As time went by, his fame grew, and many well-paying activities came to him, including hunting and killing. There was almost no job that he did not accept.

This kind of life lasted for a long time, his strength also improved rapidly through adventures one after another, and legends about him also spread.

Everything was going in a good direction until he took a job that changed his destiny, hunting giant turtle fish!

The turtle fish is actually the predecessor of the floating fish, but people today just call it that.

At that time, the Dauer fish was an uncommon low-level sea monster, with an average strength of only level one, but their lifespan was very long, and they would breed an organ called a green sac in their throat.

A wide variety of magical essences can be extracted from this organ, which are popular with spellcasters and very expensive!

How expensive is it? You only need a small bottle as big as an eyeball to buy a second-level extraordinary ship, and it comes with all the accessories and still have some leftovers. To extract such a small bottle, you only need the green sacs of a mere ten turtle fishes. Enough, the value of this is enough to drive the captains of this sea area crazy.

Of course, there is a reason why the value of this kind of green sac is so high. If you want to sell it at a high price, you must take out the green sac of the turtle while it is still alive. If it dies before then, Sorry, it's worthless now!

Therefore, although this thing is extremely valuable, not many captains have made a fortune from it, because it is so difficult to find traces of the turtle fish. Even if they are found, they are usually alone. Although it is also valuable, it is also very difficult to find. Due to problems such as difficulty in obtaining and saving, this method, which everyone knows is very profitable but extremely difficult, has been slowly forgotten.

But he received such a task, because he was the only one in the whole port who had hunted a large number of turtles and had the richest experience. What's more, the guy he wanted to hunt this time was not ordinary.

It was an extremely huge turtle fish. According to the captain, that guy definitely had a third level, or even a fourth level. Its green sacs were definitely more valuable than ordinary ones of the same kind, and the amount was also larger. This vote As long as you succeed, the rewards can even be directly exchanged for a fleet of extraordinary ships.

The captain also promised that after the event is completed, one-third of the proceeds will be given to him.

So after some simple thinking, he took on this unprecedented job. Although he is no longer the poor boy who killed fish at the dock, the influence he left behind still drives him to continue to make money and earn more. money.

They went to sea!

In order to ensure that the news was not leaked, in addition to him and the captain who hired him, he brought a few sailors and changed to a second-class sloop.

This is not an extraordinary ship, it is just a strengthening of an ordinary ship. In essence, this is still an ordinary ship, at most it is a little stronger, but only a little.

The story that followed was very interesting to hear. The group of them drifted on the sea for several days, with very little food and supplies left. Just when they wanted to give up, the blessing of the goddess of luck came and they found this big fish!

But unfortunately, the goddess of misfortune, who naturally likes to oppose the goddess of luck, also left traces. Not only did a local storm form that day, but this turtle fish was not the third level mentioned in the intelligence, but a quasi-legend!

It has a complete legendary realm!

Everyone panicked, because the strongest one on the ship was only the fourth level, and the rest were just people who were hiding from others, and couldn't help at all.

However, he was always on the verge of life and death, but he didn't care about it. It was his daily routine to risk death and live another life.

He did the same thing, and when everyone looked at him like a madman, he jumped from the boat into the mouth of this quasi-legendary turtle, with only a weak rope tied to his body.

He has hunted the turtle fish before, so he naturally knows that the green bladder is not only extremely valuable, but also their fatal weakness. As long as it can be killed with one blow, even a quasi-legend will die!

As the big fish opened its mouth, the captain and the sailors all saw the huge green sac, exuding an alluring brilliance, and their uncontrollable greed appeared.

The captain who originally wanted to pull him back flashed in his eyes, and thought he could take a gamble, so he gave up the idea of ​​​​evacuating immediately. The treasure mountain was in front of him, and no one would treat it as nothing.

But things often don't develop as smoothly as expected. Just after he jumped into the mouth of this giant turtle fish, and just about to take out the bone-removing nail to give it a fatal blow, the king of turtle fish shouted. , made a sound to summon the same kind, and at the same time, the violent trembling made him lose his balance in an instant, and he had to look for opportunities again.

On the other side, an unknown number of ordinary turtle fish followed the king's call and swarmed in, desperately ramming into the second-order sloop. Their gritted and stubborn sounds made people wonder whether it would fall apart in the next moment.

Normally, if they saw such a large number of turtle fish, everyone would laugh in half. But this time is different from the past. The captain knew that if he stayed here, everyone would die here.

The story that followed was very interesting to hear. When he was fighting with the giant turtle fish, the captain cut the rope. The sudden loss of support made him stagger, and the bone-breaking nail in his hand accidentally scratched the huge star. The green sacs, countless magic essences were sprinkled on his face, and some of them were swallowed into his stomach, causing him to slide into the never-ending abyss.

He saw the panicked look on the captain's face at the last moment, and also saw the joy on the faces of the sailors. Everyone just watched as he sank!

As an old sailor who accepts any job, he knows the risks of doing this job. Maybe he will make a lot of money this time, but next time he will die on an unknown island or an unknown sea. In the end, he will not be able to survive. There are no bones left.

But he couldn't accept the betrayal from his companions. Even if he was thrown a rope, he could escape with his experienced experience and strong physical fitness, and add to his experience of escaping from death. However, they did not , they shouted in terror, they ran away!

Without the restraints of the rope, the ship left the sea smoothly. The captain did not even look back. He was just an old sea dog and not worth his energy.

Since the giant turtle did not chase the rickety ship, the captain and his men quickly escaped, but he was swallowed by the giant turtle. The huge water pressure was like a mountain, and he was crushed again. I couldn't open my eyes either. The endless resentment had a wonderful reaction with a large amount of magic essence...

On the other hand, the captain returned to the port and repaired the ship hastily, as if nothing had happened. It was time to eat and drink. They completely forgot about the old sea dog he gave up.

No one noticed that the prosperous young sailor quietly disappeared into the port. Some captains who came to hire him could no longer find his trace. As time went by, no one paid attention to the man who died midway. The protagonist of the legendary story, after all, it doesn’t matter if there is no one in this world, life will continue to go on.

A year later, just when everyone had almost forgotten he existed, it came back with his resentment.

On this day, people found the captain's bruised and swollen body in a corner. He was hanged on a street lamp, his eyes bulging. Even so, people could see the horror in his remaining face. and disbelief.

Of course, this incident did not cause much trouble. After all, in such a chaotic port, it is normal for a few people to die every day, even if it is a famous and very wealthy captain. It's strange that no one died.

But in the next few days, people began to realize that something was wrong, because people related to the ship died one after another, and they all appeared to be drowned in the sea.

The bosun on the second day, the herald on the third day, then the trade officer, the first mate, the second mate, almost everyone related to the captain died, and died miserably.

This horrific massacre lasted for three months. It only killed one person every day and left a notice. No matter whether the marked people ran or not, they would be hung on the street lights the next day. This kind of silent Fear scares most people away, but anyone who dares to run will be caught and hanged on a street lamp to die miserably.

Some people say this is a curse, and this curse was brought back by the captain.

Although this is not quite right, at least it is right. It was brought back by the captain, and it resents everyone here! Everyone here deserves to die!

Oria's narration is vivid and lifelike, and from time to time she will control the water element and frost to perform live performances, as if she is immersed in the scene.

After listening to the story, Qiao Yang expressed sympathy for the sailor's experience. It was a pity that he could have become a legend, but ended up being abandoned by his companions and buried in the fish's mouth.

Shaking his head, Qiao Yang walked onto the deck. The Black Candle fleet was still moving at full speed. The misty drizzle was getting thicker. He was waiting for the owner of Wandering City to greet him.

The waiting time was not long. The night blurred the passage of time. It seemed like a moment or a long time. Suddenly, a lifeless port appeared in front of us. The sea surface turned blood red in the blink of an eye, which was disgusting. The fishy smell.

Large pieces of rotting fish carcasses could be vaguely seen in the dim light. Curly intestines and internal organs were spread out on the floor. Blood flowed into the sea along the grooves formed over the years, gurgling.

"Welcome to Floating City!"

This voice was like a whisper, and Qiao Yang could hear unexplained resentment and hatred in it. If he wanted to solve the mystery that had lasted for an unknown amount of time in Wandering City, it would probably not be easy.

As soon as the idea came to mind, I closed the entry for accelerated sailing, and then asked the sailors to lower the sails and slow down.

Floating City has already come to your door. If he doesn't go and take a look, doesn't it mean that he is ignorant?

"As we walked, people came to welcome us in person. As guests, we must not lose our etiquette."

Qiao Yang showed a smile and waved his hand, signaling the Black Forest to continue moving forward. The scene in front of him was just an illusion. If he wanted to explore the hidden obstacles behind, he would always be in danger.

Oriath said a lot about Wandering City, including the fact that only by entering here in person can one see the reality behind all the lies. Thinking of this, he didn't have much time left.

As mentioned before, you cannot stay overnight in the floating city. In fact, it means that you cannot stay for more than twenty-four hours, otherwise you will be transformed into a floating fish, that is, a turtle fish.

The soul is imprisoned in it and plunges into eternal damnation.

There were not many people left on the Black Forest at this time. Apart from Qiao Yang himself, there were only six people, one of whom was Marquis, and there were five other sailors. Everything coincided with the scene that had happened.

This is not a coincidence, but Qiao Yang did it deliberately. If everything goes well, then he will be able to conquer this place effortlessly. It is hard to say how much the benefits will be, but after so many years of accumulation, it will definitely be no less, right?

Of course, the treasure behind this was just incidental. His real purpose was to meet the sailor who had been turned into an inhuman being. If possible, he wanted to recruit this guy under his command.

The moment the Black Forest approached the dock, endless black mist spurted out, covering a large area of ​​the sea.

The Black Forest at the front was not spared. After a strange surge of black mist, it quickly disappeared.

Also disappearing with it was the Floating City itself. Only some rapidly dissipating black mist and five ships remained in the vast sea area.

"We will continue to head to Ribes Port according to the original route. The captain will return at sunrise tomorrow."

After Qiao Yang, the captain, and first mate Marquis left, Yahir, the second mate, temporarily took over the command.

"Yes, Mr. Second Mate!"

The remaining people on the ship returned to their posts after hearing this, but there was always an empty feeling in their hearts.

This was the first time they had experienced the absence of Qiao Yang. Although they did not lose their backbone, the awkwardness was really annoying.

But the bad mood of the crew only lasted a short time. After all, there were still five vice-captains watching. They were not worried about Qiao Yang's trip at all. He was a man who wanted to do big things and could not be It is difficult to live in a small floating city.

Just after Qiao Yang drove the Black Forest into Floating City, the continuous drizzle suddenly paused and then started to rain even harder.

This strange phenomenon also attracted the attention of the remaining participants. The distribution of battles became much sparser at night, and some captains who were preparing to take a rest discussed this issue in their spare time.

"By the way, have you noticed how heavy the drizzle is?"

This somewhat funny remark kicked off the discussion.

"Would you like to see what you're talking about upstairs?"

""Drizzle" and "It's Raining So Heavy", the identification is completed and the poster is a clown."

"It's funny, isn't it? I was quite tired today, but I met such an interesting poster. It was worth it."

There were several posts on their faces that were mocking the poster who started the topic. They completely failed to notice that the thin, silky rain lines were almost close to each other.

Finally, another five minutes passed. Some people with keen senses noticed something was wrong, so they posted a message.

"It's really heavy."

"It's so strange. Why is this rain like oil?"

"Holy shit, I can't breathe..."

The sudden change shocked everyone. Even now, they can't figure out the logic. After all, if it's drizzling heavily, can it still be considered drizzle?

No one can come up with an accurate answer now, but the approaching sense of suffocation is enough to make people panic.

Just when everyone felt that they were about to be eliminated for no apparent reason, a global announcement from the Endless Sea appeared.

"Global announcement in the mission sea area: In view of the special circumstances in the challenge mission, a special stage mission - Wandering Ghost Shadow has been added!"

"You can optionally accept this task and receive additional points and special rewards based on performance, with a minimum of 10,000 points and no upper limit."

"Those who do not accept the mission will be provided with a six-hour survival shield, which will provide sufficient survival oxygen."

"Those who accept the task will be transported to a special space. The task lasts for six hours. There is no penalty for failure of the task."

There was not much content in this global announcement, and there was no hidden information. The participants quickly read it and analyzed the pros and cons of accepting the task and the approximate cause of the incident in a short period of time.

First of all, this unexpected situation is definitely not part of the challenge mission, but due to the influence of the rules of the Endless Sea, it turned into a mission.

A large number of participants who were ambitious and pursued accepted the task without even thinking about it, but there were also many smart people here who took a focused look at the fact that there was no penalty for failing the task.

You know, this is a challenge mission. Why is there no penalty for failure? Unless the mission itself is quite dangerous. If it fails, there is no need for the Endless Sea itself to punish them, because they cannot afford the price of failure.

Of course, high risks must have high rewards. If you accept the task, you will definitely get benefits besides points. It depends on whether they are strong enough.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but think of Qiao Yang. If it was that man, he would definitely accept the mission.

But what these people didn't know was that he was the cause of this incident. At this time, he had arrived inside the Floating City, a space almost independent of the world, because Qiao Yang could not sense his ship through ordinary means. Team.

However, in addition to ordinary means, whether it is the fleet panel or the soul contract that comes with him, he can sense how far away he is from the fleet. As long as he waits to break the curse of the floating city, he can return home very easily.

"Marquis, try to speak as little as possible. It should be looking at us."

The first mate nodded, and there was no need for the others to explain. There was no need to repeat the same words twice.

Today’s day is ten thousand. Recently, my brothers always say that I have less money, so I can’t accept it.

Then I would like to thank my book friends for their monthly votes and rewards as usual. Thank you.
