Chapter 319 Ghost Bay Soul Lock Warden
Ghost Bay.
This is the most dangerous bay in Bilgewater, known for its mystery and danger of death.
It is rumored that it is a demon lair in the ocean, swallowing up countless passing ships and creatures.
The terrain of Ghost Bay is complex, with numerous reefs and shoals, which seems to be a natural trap set by the Watcher's Sea.
Different marine debris floated on the dirty sea surface, including torn canvas, rusty anchors, and rotten wood.
These countless pieces of garbage not only pollute the sea water, but also become the nest of all kinds of sea beasts.
They lurk in the water, waiting for the next batch of cruel pirates and reckless sailors who don't heed the captain's warnings.
This directly leads to the fact that few sea hunters come to Ghost Bay.
Under the dark night.
The sea breeze blows through the ghost bay, making bursts of shrill sounds, like the whispers of dead souls, attracting nearby ships.
Kadak paddled the boat hard, leaving little ripples on the sea.
He has been dealing with this sea area his whole life and knows that fishing in the ghost bay at night is absolutely not allowed.
But for the sake of his family's life, he had to come here to hunt sea beasts.
The reason for all this is that the bloody turmoil at the slaughterhouse has made the nearby sea hunters fearful.
They basically dare not appear near the pier during the day, for fear of damaging the fish in the pond and leaving corpses on the streets, so they can only choose to hunt at night.
Wow! Wow!
The sound of sturdy oars hitting the sea surface sounded in this sea area.
Kadak looked solemn, his narrow eyes always paying attention to the situation around him.
The seemingly calm water is just an illusion.
There are numerous reefs hidden under the sea, and any piece of them can break through the hull of the cabin.
The seabed is covered with the wreckage of shipwrecked ships, and the souls of drowned souls have been waiting alone for the new dead at the bottom of the sea.
Kadak is well aware of these things and carefully avoids floating ocean debris.
Because no one knows whether the garbage is real garbage, or whether it is pushed by sea monsters below.
Gulu! Gulu!
Kadak took out the crab liquor he bought at dusk and poured it into his mouth.
The wine flowing from the corner of his mouth stained his clothes.
Maybe I am a little worried.
Kadak drank another large mouthful of wine for himself, wiped his dirty beard, and poured a small amount into the sea outside the ship's side as a tribute to the great bearded lady.
The excitement of the crab liquor made his body warm, and his head was much clearer under the cold sea breeze.
He rowed past the warning buoys hung with bird carcasses, and did not stop until he came to a piece of sea that had been lucky last night.
The nearby sea hunters always envy Kadak's nose, saying that he can smell out where there are schools of fish competing for food.
Occasionally, you can also find relics scattered after the sinking of the Abyss. (The Abyss was Gangplank's former ship. It sank to the bottom of the sea when he was deposed.)
After Kadak drank the last of the Swift Crab liquor, he reached out and picked up the two oars. Put it in the bilge.
Then he took out a few maggots dug out from the eye sockets of a dead man as he did last night.
With his unruly fingers shaking, he put the bait into the hook, and then hung the fishing line on the side of the ship.
Finally, Kadak closed his eyes, bent down at the side of the ship, and dipped his hands into the greasy seawater.
"Great Naga Kapoulos, bless your followers."
Kadak began to pray, asking the Bearded Lady to grant him a bit of good luck.
“I don’t want much. Please help this poor fisherman and get a ration from your barn.”
"Please look after me and protect me. If I die in your arms, let me be buried with the other dead."
After Kadak finished praying, he opened his narrow eyes.
A few inches away from the water, he saw a pale face, with a lifeless cold light beating brightly.
“Ah!”
Kadak screamed, his body suddenly bounced up, and he fell on his back into the boat, causing the hull to shake.
The fishing lines on the side of the boat were tightened one by one, and thin threads of mist rose out of the water and circled around the fishing boat.
In the blink of an eye.
The fog that filled Haunted Bay became thicker, and the lights of Bilgewater in the distance suddenly disappeared.
What was replaced was a thick fog rolling in from the sea, as dark as ink.
Kadak quickly struggled to his feet and looked at the warning buoy behind him.
I don’t know when a strange dark gray bird appeared on top of the bird carcass.
It was lowering its red eyes and looking at Kadak, with black mist seeping out of the white fluff in front of it.
"This is this"
Kadak looked confused at first, then his pupils narrowed, and a look of panic climbed onto his pale face.
Styx Watcher!
He had seen these monsters on the murals in the ruined temple. They were death creatures in ancient myths.
There are still related contents left around the murals at that time.
[When the sun sinks below the horizon, the terrifying things here will wake up and begin to stare at them, waiting for their prey to take the bait. ]
Kadak raised the oar in great panic, plunged it into the sea water, and started rowing hard.
Behind the Styx Watcher, black mist is billowing
"The damn soul-eating night is coming!"
Kadak felt the biting cold coming, and his arms with bulging muscles gradually became weak.
But he did not dare to hold back at all, and still exerted all his strength.
"The Great Bearded Lady Nagakapoulos, Mother of the Abyss"
Kadak prayed quietly, with sobs in his voice.
"Please take me home, please, I pray sincerely"
He no longer cares why Soul Eating Night came early.
The only thought is to escape from Haunted Bay and return to Bilgewater.
The oars beat a powerful rhythm on the sea, stirring up layers of waves and pushing the wooden boat forward quickly. Kadak whispered a prayer while driving the wooden boat, trying to leave the area monitored by the Styx Watcher.
However, the Styx Monitor Owl's red eyes were still looking at him, as if he had chosen his prey.
The red eyes flashed with coldness and cruelty, as if foreshadowing the coming danger.
Kadak's heart moved, and from the corner of his eye he saw the black mist sweeping behind him.
As soon as it came into contact with his body, the blood vessels under the skin quickly became necrotic, showing black lines.
Then a cold breath like a tomb crept up his back quietly.
Suddenly!
Kadak's prayers ceased.
A pair of hooks with chains cut through the black fog and pierced his chest. The eye-catching blood on the hook tips formed a slowly flowing stream.
The third hook pierced his stomach, and then the fourth one drilled out of Kadak's neck.
The fifth and sixth ones dug into his hands, pulled him down forcefully, and nailed him to the blood-red cabin.
The severe pain made Kadak howl, and he wanted to pull out a handful of hooks with both hands and break free.
But there was a burning pain in the punctured joint, as if an evil spirit eager for revenge was tasting his suffering.
In the depths of the black mist invisible to Kadak, a tall dark green shadow slowly emerged.
The body exudes the purest malice in the world, and the horned head is surrounded by emerald green flames.
The whole body is wrapped in an ancient black cassock, and the rusty keys around his waist scratch the edges.
It held a corpse-inducing lantern in its hand, which was swinging along with the chain.
From time to time, mournful moans will come from the lantern, as if it contains endless evil desires.
A small door opened on the lantern, and Kadak felt the soul in his warm body stir.
In the bottomless halo, the tortured undead almost went crazy in the endless purgatory, letting out heart-rending screams.
Kadak struggled to hold on to his soul, but his life came to an abrupt end when an invisible ghost-like sickle swung.
The lantern also clicked shut.
“An inferior soul.”
Its sound was like gravel rubbing against a tombstone.
“But it’s the first one I collected tonight.”
The black mist rippled, and many silhouettes could be vaguely seen emerging.
The vicious undead mistress, the howling wandering soul, the ghostly knight... just to name a few.
The sea breeze blew, and darkness swept across the quiet sea surface, swallowing up the giant beasts on the bottom of the sea, and rushed towards the land.
In a distant place, the lights of Bilgewater began to go out.
Xiacheng District, inside the tavern.
Huo Jixing's heart trembled, as if he sensed something, he immediately quit meditation, stood up and came to the window.
Red-gold flames filled the pupils, reflecting the boundless black mist.
"Soul-eating Night!"
"Is it coming so soon?"
Huo Jixing whispered softly, according to the previously calculated distance, the black mist should not be here now Just take Bilgewater by storm.
But the current scene forced him to accept the cruel reality.
"Soul-eating Night!"
Huo Jixing's actions attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern.
They all looked away from the wine glasses or conversations in their hands and looked into the distance.
Looking across the window in surprise, I saw the black fog rolling in under the dark night.
“Get ready to fight!”
Huo Jixing let out a breath, suppressed his inner thoughts, and looked back at the people behind him who had mixed reactions.
The atmosphere in the tavern instantly became tense, and everyone began to move and organize their weapons and equipment.
Graves spit out the smoke from his mouth casually, holding the cigar between his teeth, and reached out to brush the extremely shiny fate.
Red shotgun shells were placed on the table of the bar, and he loaded them into the belt one by one with his movements.
Drizzt sat beside him, shuffling and cutting the cards with his hands, trying to decipher the omens of fate.
After dealing cards several times in succession, his expression became more solemn, and the fate he was once familiar with became restless at this moment.
Josip is carefully wiping the sea serpent-shaped Abyss Crown for fear of damaging this legendary rune item.
Although the Abyss Crown has suffered from the erosion of time, the effect of rune magic has been weakened.
But after Huo Jixing's test, it can still bring a certain amount of magic damage to the owner.
Of course, the most important magical effect of the Abyss Crown, which commands sea beasts, has been affected by the years and can only be used reluctantly.
Huo Jixing has tested that he can command up to three sea beasts to take action.
It is far inferior to the overwhelming scene of sea beasts on the cave paintings.
After careful consideration, Huo Jixing decided to give it to Yosip to use as a life-saving trump card for Leiser's defense secret base.
Josip was very happy to get the Abyss Crown.
He himself is a mystic, coming from a medium-sized occult school in the Noxus Empire.
With the Abyss Crown in his hand and his own strength, he felt that he should be able to survive this soul-eating night safely.
The black mist surged, like a giant beast with teeth and claws, climbing onto the dock of Bilgewater.
Many Leiser Guards soldiers in the tavern have quickly finished wearing their equipment.
The Noxian weapon in his hand shone with a biting cold light in the dark night, reflecting the firm eyes and the hard lines of the armor.
They are all ready to fight for their lives!
