"Okay, it looks like we found the owner of the scratch." In such a tense situation, Su Yinchen relaxed.
She chuckled, flipped her left hand, and pulled out a whip from the air.
"Keep an eye on it, novice. In the stars, this is how physical monsters are dealt with."
The girl flipped her hair handsomely and snapped her fingers crisply.
Su Yunle looked at her and opened the energy shield halfway in cooperation.
The golden energy dissipated, and the wind and waves instantly poured into the small cabin, slicing through the player's cheek like a blade.
As if sensing that the obstacle ahead had disappeared, the bones of the hand resting on the cabin kept scratching, and black sharp nails protruded from the tips of the finger bones, leaving behind a rattling friction sound on the already tattered iron wall. Fresh scratches.
"Watch the move!" The girl shouted sharply, the whip buzzed, and an afterimage was drawn out in the air, instantly wrapping around the bones.
"Kaka" Baigu struggled hard, but couldn't break free at all.
Seeing this, Su Yinchen suddenly retracted his whip and tried to pull Bai Gu up.
The white bones shook wildly for a while, and finally one of his arms broke off.
The whip that lost its tension flew high into the sky, with a complete arm wrapped around it. The white bones glowed with an ominous light, and it fell heavily to the cabin, almost falling apart.
"Close the door." Su Yinchen frowned and retracted his whip, then gestured to Su Yunle.
The light yellow energy cover re-covered the cabin, allowing the waves outside the cabin to roar.
Mu Chen kicked the bones that were limp in the cabin. The bones were lifeless and were like a pile of mud for him to play with.
"This is scarier than the bones in the factory..." Ning Yu rubbed his arms, "Why do these copies have so many bones?" He mumbled and put his hands on Mu Chen's shoulders, his eyes widening.
"If I were you, I wouldn't touch this thing. The most indispensable thing in the stars is corpses and bones." Su Yunle continued to strengthen the protective shield without caring.
"Aren't you afraid?" Mu Chen retracted his foot. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the girl walking over.
"What are you afraid of?" Su Yinchen raised an eyebrow, squatted down and took out a pair of gloves, and gently rubbed the black nails on the hand bones with a silver-white sponge-like object twice.
"Sure enough." The girl whistled and showed the "sponge". Its silver-white surface had become a large area of black. "Very poisonous, I suggest you go back and change a pair of shoes."
"The nails are just poisonous." Mu Chen knocked his heels twice. "We don't know the whole picture. Aren't you afraid that the bottom of this thing won't be able to hit you?"
"This thing is most likely just a shark with all its flesh missing. Besides, I'm an intermediate player after all, just a B-level player." Su Yinchen continued to work on the hand bones, trying to extract the toxins on the nails.
"It's better to be cautious..." the pockmarked young man whispered.
"It's okay, young man. My sister knows it well. Besides, to be cautious, the person next to you just broke into the ghost ship at night." Su Yunle patted his shoulder and looked at the surging sea water outside. "I don't know when this storm will happen." Only then can we stop.”
"Does your head still hurt? I guess the dungeon didn't expect that such a tough player could come back alive after running out in the middle of the night and watching a lot of things that he shouldn't have seen." Su Yinchen took care of the hand bones, "It's normal. I had it once before. , Just thinking about it makes your head hurt, it’s really uncomfortable, but after a few hours, you will forget everything.” She subconsciously wanted to hold her forehead.
"Hey, hey, hands!" Ning Yu howled and tried to stop her.
"Ah, yes, yes, gloves." Su Yinchen was stunned for a moment and spread his hands.
call. A ball of blue flame spread instantly, burning the gloves clean.
But the girl's slender fingers were safe and sound, and they were made even whiter by the flames.
"This, this is..." Ning Yu's eyes widened, "Wow, what kind of prop is this? It's so handsome!"
"Didn't you do your homework well?" Su Yinchen looked back outside. The storm was still there, but luckily no new bones invaded.
"It's a superpower." Mu Chen rubbed the young man's messy head.
"Yes, props can only assist. Superpowers are life-saving tools." Su Yinchen clapped his hands, and the blue flames dissipated.
"I have learned that most of the props in the mall are gadgets, and the useful props are too expensive. Just relying on the props given in the copy will not last long." Mu Chen walked to the cabin and covered his hands with warmth. And with the solid yellow energy shield, he could feel the flow of energy under his palm.
"This is also a superpower. When low-level players advance to mid-level players, they will gain a superpower in the promotion copy."
"Very keen. Do you want to come to our guild after finishing the book?" Su Yinchen tilted her head. She admired this novice player, otherwise she would not have shown her abilities in front of them so casually.
"It's my pleasure." Mu Chen did not refuse. These two intermediate players are the key to winning the copy. The B-level copy is a bit too powerful for him now.
Kuang
While several people were communicating, the escape cabin suddenly shook violently.
Almost half of the cabin was knocked into the sea.
"Careful! Hold still!"
Several thick tentacles rose from the waves and grasped the escape capsule with force.
——
"Too conceited." Yunchuan, who had been observing them on the deck, shrugged.
"Advanced players will be happy for this situation to happen when they enter the lower level. No, Acker is angry~" 001 shuttled through the rain, obviously enjoying the weather very much. "Hmm. But they were lucky. The time has come." Yunchuan pulled up a cable and sent a message to the sea monster that was eating the escape cabin.
"Acker, let them go."
"Ak don't want it, Ak is angry. They broke Lanlan's hand!" The sea monster almost cried out in grievance. Under it, a skeletonized mermaid with missing arms scratched hoarsely with its remaining hand. Take the escape hatch.
"Ak, the time is coming." Yunchuan did not refute it.
"The time is coming..." Ake paused and looked at the skeleton mermaid with some sadness.
The shark who was scratching angrily just now suddenly stopped without warning, swam stiffly towards the bottom of the ghost ship, and finally lay motionless on the bottom of the ship.
"Your Highness..." The hoarse and dull voice of the ghost ship sounded in Yunchuan's heart.
"Speak." Yunchuan replied while lowering the cable.
"Your Highness, Ghost doesn't like Lan Ming looking like this either. He's like a puppet." Ghost Ship's voice was a little low.
"Acker doesn't like it either! This is the twelfth time Lanlan has become a puppet!"
"He is a dungeon character first, an NPC in the eyes of players, and finally Lan Ming." Yun Chuan said expressionlessly, "You should pray that the players this time can get through the normal ending, and it is best to wake up Neptune."
"But the players are too stupid, they only know how to fight and kill..." Ake's voice became lower and lower. He glanced at the dull Lan Ming reluctantly, then turned and swam towards the deep sea.
"We are puppets too... Ghosts also hate players." The ghost ship sighed and lost its voice.
‘It’s just the life of a low-level dungeon character. ’ As a senior boss, Yunchuan didn’t feel the same way. He found the correct position, slid down the cable, and stepped firmly on the bow of the escape cabin.
As he landed, the wind and waves gradually subsided.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?" He put on a formulaic NPC smile and looked at the somewhat embarrassed players in front of him.
Perhaps it was because Yunchuan had acted too much like a living human being before. The moment Ning Yu saw him, his heart was filled with grievances.
Just as he was about to complain, Mu Chen pulled him back.
As someone who had been with Ning Yu for ten years, he certainly knew what Ning Yu wanted to do. He pulled Ning Yu over, put on a smile, and told Commander Xiao Lin what had just happened.
"Skeletons?" Yun Chuan touched his chin and thought.
"I don't know if you have seen its full picture before. We have only seen part of it, which looks like human skeletons." Mu Chen simply said that according to the current settings, as recruits, they should I don't know about Same.
"I only saw part of it, is that so?" Yun Chuan whispered.
This attitude... "You brought us down to see the skeletons on purpose. You knew there were skeletons underneath." Mu Chen looked at him with certainty.
Yunchuan blinked. He liked talking to smart people.
But he didn't show it on his face, and the young man sighed softly, "Yes, I know. Actually, I want to ask you for something."
Please...
Is the main plot coming? The players' eyes lit up and they all came forward.
"You won't be heard by them if you talk here." Yun Chuan shrugged.
"We suspect that there is a traitor on the ship." He lowered his voice and moved closer to the player.
Boom, a thunder exploded in the sky, lighting up half of the sky.
"Traitor...traitor" Ning Yu repeated subconsciously.
"Yes. Before you came, we also experienced several battles, but each time the enemy knew something in advance, causing us to fail one after another." Yunchuan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "That's why the captain will apply to let you join the ship at this juncture."
"You want us to find out who the traitor is. You can't trust the other people on the ship, and it's not convenient for you to investigate based on your status." Mu Chen took up his words.
"Yes, you are very smart. You are indeed a soldier carefully selected by the commander. The commander probably didn't tell you the truth." Yun Chuan twitched the corner of his mouth.
"We need more information. Including skeletons." Su Yinchen looked at him.
"Okay."
——
Ding dong! The main mission of the B-level dungeon "Shark" has been released, asking players to find the real traitor and resolve the Shark Rebellion (0/7) -——
"About the skeleton, I wonder if you have heard of such a legend." Yun Chuan found a comfortable seat and sat down, mobilizing the memory in his mind.
"Beyond the South China Sea there are sharks who live in the water like fish and never waste their time weaving. When their eyes weep, they can produce pearls."
‘Shark man. ’ A fragment suddenly flashed in Mu Chen’s mind. Long silver hair, blue flames, and a tail flashing through the sea water. But he couldn't recall the man's face clearly.
"Ten years ago, I was still young, but I had already boarded this ship." Yunchuan paused. "Everyone living on the sea has heard of the Nanhai Sharks. But no one believed it, after all, no one had seen it. Until That day..."
