Players’ NPC daddy.

"Looking at the style of this ship, it should be an expedition ship of the Holy Cross. It is very likely that it encountered a whirlpool during its voyage and ended up getting lost in this place."

"So can I start killing?" Greenland waved the magic stick and waited for Marika to speak.

As long as Marika nodded and said that this was just a broken ship with no background story, she would immediately take action. Of course, she would also take action even if there was a background story, and at most she would not use a finishing move that could destroy the entire ship.

"Well... I don't know much about the ships of the Holy Cross Theocracy. Anyway, just don't do anything too extreme."

Marika put away the notebook, and at that moment, the fog reached the Dead Bear, and the strange ghost crew members stood silently on the deck.

The battle begins.

Chapter 1137 The Immortal Pirate Ship

【Chimera Ghost Sailor LV85】

[Dozens of ghosts were squeezed and forced together, and they are a strange product. They are attached to the ghost ship. As long as the ghost ship is not destroyed, they cannot be eliminated. 】

"After the lion's skin was pierced by various tricks, you have also been robbed."

Blaze sighed towards the Gungnir in his hand. First of all, these ghost sailors must be immune to Gungnir because their true forms are ghost ships.

The ghost ship Juneflower is also immune to Gungnir because the ghost ship is not a living thing in essence. It is just a ship that has the function of collecting dead souls and it has no self-awareness.

Although Gungnir still has the destructive power of a meteor, its physical attack has little effect on ghost monsters, so it is better to keep it in your hand and use it as a stick.

The ghost ship is the pinnacle of group monsters, with immortal crew members and an almost indestructible body. It has almost no weaknesses, but it is well known that having no weaknesses is a negative state.

No matter how powerful the ghost ship is, it has no self-awareness and it is the captain who controls it.

Although there are endless crew members, there is only one captain. After killing the captain, the entire ghost ship will be in a stagnant state. It will only continue to operate when a new captain is born.

If the captain wants to give orders and steer the entire ghost ship, he can only stand at the helm.

"There it is."

Greenland immediately spotted the huge figure at the top of the ghost ship Juneflower.

Before launching the attack, Greenland calmly launched an [Emergency SOS], waited until someone responded to her, and then teleported to the Dead Bear with [Emergency Rescue], ensuring that even if an accident occurred, they would still have a member on the Dead Bear.

Baguette responded to the call, but before he could say hello, Greenland roared and rushed towards the bow of the Death Bear, then used the magic staff as a pole and did a pole vault to bounce himself directly towards the ghost ship Juneflower.

Baguette spread his hands helplessly, took out the vortex sword from his back and fought with the ghost sailors who were attacking from all sides.

The moment he landed on the deck of the ghost ship Juneflower, Greenland headed straight towards the rudder.

As if realizing what Greenland was planning to do, the captain hidden in the fog waved his hand, and the ghost crew members appeared in the fog and surrounded Greenland.

"Back off, back off!"

Greenland used a stick instead of a gun, and stabbed and knocked away three ghost sailors in succession. Then he pulled his hand back and used the bottom of the magic wand to knock away the ghost sailor who wanted to attack from behind.

The ghost sailors surrounded her so tightly that she couldn't swing her weapons, so she mainly relied on thrusting and spinning, like a fallen leaf among the ghost sailors.

The ghost sailors didn't hit her at all, but they kept accidentally hurting their teammates.

Blaze was not idle either. He jumped in front of the Ghost Turtle holding the tip of Gungnir. Just as he was about to hit it with a stick, countless lights lit up on the surface of the turtle.

[Volcano Barnacle LV30]

[They parasitize giant marine organisms and reproduce without restraint. They will not stop even if their hosts sink to the bottom of the sea because of them. They are living coffins for marine organisms.]

Blazer understood why barnacles were called living coffins, and also why they were called volcanic barnacles. Not only did they look like bulging volcanoes, they also spewed out hot liquids like real volcanoes.

But what the volcanic barnacles spew out is some kind of highly toxic poison.

Blaze immediately spun Gungnir, sweeping away all the venom, and then slammed Gungnir down hard.

The extraordinary force allowed Gungnir to create a sonic boom cloud, and Blaze took advantage of this to bounce back in the air and land on the head of the Ghost Turtle.

The volcanic barnacles are not just good at spraying venom. When they noticed Blaze approaching, they immediately extended a large number of tentacles to capture Blaze.

"Barnacles, look pretty nutritious, everyone?"

"But they contain a lot of heavy metals and bacteria, and are difficult to handle." Greenland, with sharp ears, shouted in response as he fought his way through the encirclement of the ghost sailors.

"I can't eat it. Anyway, I just don't want to keep my mouth idle." Blaze swept Gungnir. This throwing gun was equally powerful when used as a violent blunt weapon, easily crushing everything it hit.

Meanwhile, Greenland arrives at the ship's helm and comes face to face with the captain of the ghost ship Juneflower.

This is also the only ghost on the entire ship that still looks like a human. The captain is always different from the other crew members. He has a special space called the captain's room and does not need to be crowded with others.

[Captain Juneflower·Rebel Deken LV120]

"Is this a rebel ship?" Greenland was immediately surprised. Captain Deken took her curiosity as a flaw, and immediately drew out a rapier, roared with a broken throat, and rushed towards Greenland.

"Sword contest?"

Greenland pulled out a large-caliber shotgun that could only fire one shot and pointed it at Captain Deken. The moment he pulled the trigger, countless silver lights spurted out.

Captain Deken swung his rapier several times, but this weapon had no resistance at all, so all the ammunition fired by Greenland fell on Captain Deken.

This is not an ordinary shotgun, but a modified coin gun. The ammunition it fires is made of salt crystals and is coated with silver cross flakes, which maximizes its power against the undead.

As soon as the shot went off, Captain Deken immediately began to wail, with thick purified smoke coming out of his whole body.

Even at LV120, one still has to endure the attribute weaknesses, but it would be too good to think that one shot could solve the problem.

After Greenland finished playing dirty, he swung his magic staff and hit Captain Deken's head. Blunt attacks have low damage to the dead souls, but the magic staff has the hidden effect of [Guiding the Lost Lambs].

Although it is not a divine attribute, it can help lost souls find the direction to rebirth, which is a higher level of purification.

Finally, he swung the staff and smashed Captain Deken's head off. The originally pale skin instantly rotted away, and the remaining pale skull turned into dust and disappeared in the sunlight that pierced through the fog.

The ghost ship Juneflower ceased operations as the captain disappeared, and the ghost crew also disappeared along with the dissipating mist.

But the ghost ship Juneflower did not disappear, but slowly sank.

Greenland and Blaze jumped back onto the deck of the Death Bear and watched the sinking of the Juneflower with everyone else.

Soon the ship will be refloated.

The most terrifying thing about this group of monsters called ghost ships is that they cannot be destroyed but can only be sunk. Once the ghost crew elects a new captain, they will start sailing again.

Captain Babo said solemnly.

"This is the easiest ghost ship to deal with."

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 the giant octopus monster as expected. In an instant, the entire Dead Bear was tied up and caught by the huge tentacles.

Blaze originally planned to use Gungnir to kill the giant octopus instantly, but the giant octopus had too many hearts, and the only guaranteed hit only pierced one of the giant octopus's tentacle.

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.

[Limited Time Mission: Small Good Deeds Humans Can Do]

Chapter 1139: Barnacles of the Sea Nightmare

Is the mission before us a trial prepared by the ancestors of Arcadia, or is it just a coincidence?

Blaze felt that no matter which one it was, as long as the mission mentioned "good deeds", there was no reason not to do it as long as it was a good deed.

Not only him, but all the blessed people who have triggered the mission are planning to get off the boat and stroll around the island.

“Do you really want to care about this kind of thing?” Captain Babo laughed strangely when he saw that several people were about to get off the ship. “Do you really trust us pirates to stay here? We might abandon you to look for the Fountain of Youth the moment the vortex appears.”

"I don't underestimate your stupidity. Maybe you will really do such a thing, so don't underestimate us, okay?" Greenland raised his finger and pointed behind Captain Babo.

Captain Babo turned around and the ogre waved at him, revealing a mouthful of sharp white teeth.

"Don't leave us on the same ship with this monster!"

In the end, it was Audrey who stayed on the Dead Bear that stopped the pirates from running down screaming, but some of them still slid down the ropes. In their eyes, if there were no other blessed ones to check and balance, then what was the difference between the Dead Bear and the ogre's dinner plate? Audrey alone could not stop the ogre from eating people.

“Oh, there are more people willing to do small acts of kindness.”

Blaze landed on this suddenly emerged island, stepped on the ground with his feet and looked around.

The white volcanoes around are all volcanic barnacles, and the mission is a small act of kindness. Perhaps the island under our feet is actually a rather large creature, and is now being troubled by the volcanic barnacles that are parasitic on its body.

"I guess we need to destroy all these volcanic barnacles."

Blaze picked out his weapon. [Ares' Howl] was too destructive and might hurt giant creatures, so it would be better to use [Gungnir], a super strong stick.
