Chapter 1138: The Ancients’ Tricks

Following the ghost ship Juneflower, a ghost ship would arrive every hour or so.

In this case, it was not the ghost ship that came looking, but rather the Dead Bear was passing through the roaming range of one ghost ship after another.

These ghost ships are like the dead, wandering around the areas where they sank.

But as the number of encounters with ghost ships increased, the answer to why Captain Barber said that the ghost ship Juneflower was the easiest ghost ship to deal with was revealed.

It's not about how high the level is, but the captain has changed.

The captain of the first ghost ship we encounter, Juneflower, is a dead human soul. He has an independent captain's room, and his soul will not be squeezed out and merged because the ghost ship keeps collecting dead crew members.

But then, in the ghost ship that appeared, the captain also appeared to be a soul chimera. This type of captain is very brutal, violent, and aggressive. Rather than being a human, it is more like a seafood chimera monster.

This is because when the original captain is defeated, the ghost crew members will begin to fight each other to decide the new captain to drive the ghost ship.

This process will be repeated countless times, and the new captain will become stronger and stronger. After all, becoming a captain means that the soul will not be fused due to the squeeze of the dead souls, just like the blessed cannot absorb soul flame fragments and increase strength.

And every time the captain is changed, the ghost ship itself will change, and the damaged hull will gradually be repaired.

According to Captain Babo, ordinary ghost ships can only wander around the sea where they sank and cannot leave.

So if you encounter an ordinary ghost ship, all you have to do is flee from the sea at full speed. But if you are unlucky and encounter a legendary, cursed ghost ship, then you are basically doomed.

The Cursed Ghost Ship is the product of the Ghost Ship being completely repaired. As the Ghost Ship continues to collect souls, there will be more and more souls belonging to marine creatures among them.

The human part will never disappear, but it will become less and less, and in the end only the evil and violent thinking common to all living things will remain.

At that moment, the ghost ship will be repaired and turned into a ghost ship cursed by the sea. The sinking sea can no longer trap them. They can travel freely in the sea and become a special existence between life and death.

Legend has it that the cursed ghost ship will become the ruler of a part of the sea and can command terrible monsters in the ocean.

However, the cursed ghost ship remains a legend, and the person who first saw it would certainly not live to tell the story.

Secondly, the captain is not so easily eliminated. The enemies that the ghost ship encounters are generally marine creatures, and marine creatures don’t know that they have to defeat the captain before they can stop the ghost ship.

Occasionally, the activity ranges of the ghost ships overlap, which will result in the captain being eliminated.

Greenland is naturally very interested in the cursed ghost ship. This legendary thing definitely exists, but the cursed ghost ship sounds like a random encounter, and the probability of encountering it in such a vast ocean is very low.

And their target now is the Fountain of Youth, and colliding with a cursed ghost ship would not be a good thing.

In addition to the ghost ship, Greenland also encountered a giant octopus monster as expected. In an instant, the entire Dead Bear was tied up and caught by huge tentacles. Blazer originally planned to use Gungnir to kill the giant octopus instantly, but the giant octopus has many hearts, and the only one sure hit only pierced one of the giant octopus's tentacles.

Because of this, Blazer was lost for a long time, and the giant octopus almost ate the entire Dead Bear. At the critical moment, it was Audrey who woke up and solved the situation.

[Singer] is not only an auxiliary profession, but also a very powerful control profession. As long as the corresponding songs are sung, different abnormal states can be imposed.

But this is not that simple. Just like learning magic requires reading and remembering a lot of knowledge, the songs of [Singer] are also very complicated to learn, and the effects will change depending on the singer's state.

Audrey, who had gotten enough sleep, easily controlled the giant octopus with just a light hum. By the time Audrey finished singing the whole song, the giant octopus had already left in a daze.

Everyone applauded Audrey, and Audrey raised her chin like a proud peacock, accepting everyone's praise.

In order to do what she could these days, she had been cramming all kinds of music, and her efforts had paid off, as she had become an indispensable person.

Unfortunately, Audrey met her opponent not long after. The whale monsters had abilities similar to those of singers. Although their individual abilities could not match Audrey's, they were numerous and had bonuses when they sang in unison.

Fortunately, they only have one heart, so Blaze's [Gungnir] can kill them all accurately.

The long three-day voyage was unexpectedly not torturous. Apart from encountering all kinds of thrilling monsters, the people like Greenland who were able to return to the earth brought entertainment in various ways, such as performances, new toys, and they actually brought a full banquet as requested by the pirates.

Audrey's singing became the core of everything, a large-scale collective reinforcement, a simply beautiful song that could soothe the spirit, and most importantly, control the tide.

Audrey, who possesses the special profession of [Silver Priest], can exercise some rights related to the moon. Unfortunately, this also requires a lot of knowledge. Although Audrey has read it, she has not read it all, so she made a lot of jokes.

Audrey blushed and hid in her room with a book covering her face.

After stumbling and bumping around, the Dead Bear finally arrived at the first of the seven whirlpools at the exact time.

According to the parameters read by Marika and Captain Babo, the Callisto Compass only specified this one coordinate. Whether it would continue to cross seven vortices, or whether it would need to recalculate after crossing this first vortex, everything was unknown.

Captain Babo was inclined to think that the calculation needed to be recalculated; if it was a continuous crossing of seven whirlpools, there would be no need to say that there were seven whirlpools.

And according to the precautions taken by the silver man, it was impossible for him to reach the destination in one go. After all, what if a ship happened to pass by by sheer luck and passed through the vortex?
It turns out that Audrey's ancestors really did everything they could to take precautions.

The Dead Bear arrived at the exact place at the exact time, but the surroundings were completely calm, without a whirlpool or even a splash of water.

Just as they were frowning and wondering if they had missed it, an island covered with white volcanoes slowly emerged from the sea.
