Chapter 62: There are many stories about ghost ships

"Fix the rope, you all wait here. Lin Yue, Sun Yan, you and I will get on the boat."

"I'll go too." Hongyue shouted.

"You're still waiting here, and you're responsible for the command."

"Okay!" Hongyue retreated back timidly like a wronged young wife, which surprised me very much. It seems that this is not her personality!

Anyway, I only brought two players and a few NPCs to the tattered ghost ship. This guy is really big and can almost be used as a court, but his rag is indeed a bit exaggerated.

I pointed to a cabin entrance at the stern of the boat. "Sun Yan, take four sailors down there, open the guild channel, report it immediately if you have any questions, don't take risks."

"Okay. Come with me, the four of you." Sun Yan led the four sailors to the entrance of the cabin.

I pointed to the cabin entrance at the bow of the boat again. "Lin Yue, take 4 sailors down there. Be careful. If you encounter any dangerous situation, call us immediately and don't take risks alone."

"Don't worry! It's just a broken boat, I can't do anything to me! Okay, you four, come with me!" Lin Yue ran towards the bow of the boat with four sailors.

Although there are many undead creatures in the game, human habits cannot be changed just by changing them. Sun Yan and Lin Yue took away four original pirate sailors, leaving me with the 4 undead sailors who were later expanded into the sailor camp. Anyway, I am very nervous, and I have been used to the undead, so it’s nothing to bring four undeads.

I sent them to the bow and stern of the boat respectively, and I had to come by myself in the middle. As soon as I walked to the door of the cabin, I heard Lin Yue’s complaint in the channel: “There are no one here for at least hundreds of years, and the door is gone!”

Sun Yan's voice also popped out: "Then what are you complaining about?"

"What's wrong with me complaining?" Lin Yue used her unreasonable ability to say that Sun Yan was helpless. "Hey, what are you doing there? Is it ping-pong?"

Sun Yan said: "I have many doors here, but my hands are completely rusted and I can't open them. I'm smashing the door!"

I smiled and said, "This kind of rag is probably not strong enough. I'm just asking if I smash the door...ah...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...ao...bang...bang...ao...bang...ao...bang...ao...hey...cuck.cuck.cuck.cuck!"

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?" Both of them heard a strange sound from the middle of my speech, thinking I had encountered some enemy.

"I'm at the bottom of the boat!"

"Ah? So fast? How did you go on? Why was it so noisy just now? What's the noise?"

"This damn broken boat, I don't know how long it has been floating here, and the wooden boards have rotted. I just got off the cabin and collapsed, but I fell all the way to the bottom of the boat. You'd better be careful, the floor here may collapse at any time."

"Haha! But your method is faster!" Sun Yan actually mocked me.

I said angrily: "If you have the ability, you can jump in place a few times, and you will be able to fall down too."

"Haha! I'm not stopping! I can't get used to your earth elevator. Since you're at the end, we won't go down the bottom cabin anymore. Please give it to you."

"I wish you too, I hope you fall down too."

"I'm not...ah...oh...ping pong...boom!"

Before Sun Yan could finish his words, he was hit and fell all the way from above. From a distance, you could hear the sound of wood breaking and heavy objects falling to the ground in the cabin. When the sound stopped, Sun Yan's half-dead voice was heard: "You are such a crow's mouth, a good and bad spirit!"

"Haha! This is called retribution! So, since you have come down too, we are half of us in the bottom cabin, right?"

"I am not as bad as you! I just stepped on three floors. Is it still a distance from the bottom cabin?"

"Then you pray that you don't step on it anymore." I cursed badly.

"I'm not as unlucky as you, you'd better check the bottom cabin honestly. Xiaoyue, please check the upper floor? I'll look at the middle floors. Let's leave the deepest hell for our moistest president!"

"Haha! I agree." Lin Yue is also a master who is not serious about watching the fun. "By the way, all the sailors you bring are follow me, and you don't have to bring them anyway."

"Okay. But you have to call them yourself."

Since it had fallen and there was no other way, I was forced to start checking the bottom cabin. However, I had to get myself out of the pile of rotten wood before this. When it fell down just now, it collapsed a lot of things, and it seemed to hit a bed in the middle, but it did not stop the falling trend and fell down with me.

I grabbed a broken wood with one hand and tried to push it away. When I tried to force it on my hand, the wood was crushed like a cake. It wasn't that exaggerated, right? I moved my legs, kicked a horizontal wood, threw away the remaining rags, and jumped up. Suddenly I found a strange problem. The wood at the bottom of the boat felt completely different from the floor above. In order to confirm whether it was an illusion, I squatted down and knocked on the floor carefully, for fear that it would be troublesome if it was a blow to the leak.

The sound from the wooden board on the bottom is indeed different. The wood seems to be very strong and there is no decay at all. No wonder the boat was broken up above and the wood under it was not sunk. It turned out that the wood under it was not broken. But the bottom of the ship should be the same as the wood used above! The above has turned into flour, so how could the one below be the same as the new one?

I approached the bottom plate again and asked Phantom to help me see it. With his knowledge, he should be able to detect some minor problems. However, Phantom could not find the reason after watching for a long time, but instead created more suspicious points. After Phantom confirmed that the material on the bottom of the ship was the same as the one on it, and there was not even special treatment. According to the saying, the same material should have the same durability! How could the difference be so big?

I checked the entire bottom cabin and it was exactly the same, and the whole bottom looked like new, leaving no mark of time. But the hull structure told me that these woods were installed on the ship together, and this should not happen at all.

After thinking for a long time, I really couldn't figure out the reason, so I simply summoned Ling and Xiaochun and told them these suspicious points to let them see if there were any clues.

Ling and Xiaochun studied the wooden boards together and compared them with the decaying wooden boards. Xiaochun said: "I can only feel that these woods are surrounded by a special layer of energy. They feel like they are dark things. I don't know what they are."

I turned to Ling, and she replied: "It's an injustice. The entire wooden board on the bottom layer is surrounded by the resentment of the low-level injustice. The wood has become undead, just like the bones of a skeleton soldier. If it is broken without external force, it will not be weathered for many years."

"It's indeed a ghost ship!"

Ling continued: "What's strange is that such a strong resentment can only be caused by the collective death of a large number of creatures, and the corpse must be nearby, otherwise the resentment would have dissipated long ago."

"You mean those undead are nearby?"

"No, it's not the undead. These undead souls have not become undead, they are just simple unconscious resentment spirits, and they are all concentrated on the wooden board. I'm talking about corpses, and their corpses should be nearby!"

"But there is nothing here!" I looked around. This floor was the bottom compartment, which was an isolation passage that was convenient for people to enter when repairing the bottom of the ship. There was nothing at all. Except for a few pillars, the cabin was completely visible. If there were corpses, they would have seen them at a glance.

"Will it be below?" Xiao Chun pointed to the floor.

"This is the bottom of the boat, and there is water under the wooden board. Don't you think the body is soaked in the water, do you?"

Ling actually said to Xiaochun: "Xiaochun's words make sense. This may be a disguise. Maybe there is a mezzanine. Master, just try to dig a hole."

"But what if there is no mezzanine and the water leaks?"

"The leak can be blocked! Just open a small hole. Such a big boat will not sink even if it leaks."

"Okay then! You two have prepared the wood first, and if it really leaks, you are ready to stuff it up at any time."

Take out Eternity and turn it into an awl as thick as a finger, with the tip facing down on the wooden board. I didn't try hard, and the sharp Eternity began to sink down by its own gravity. I really didn't expect that this layer of board was still thick. The awl that Eternity became pierced half a foot deep, but it didn't work. "This board is too thick!"

"Maybe this is the bottom layer." Ling explained.

We waited for a while, and the cone suddenly slipped downward, obviously losing resistance. I put my hand on the hole, and the cone immediately rose up again. The bead that turned eternally back into the red bead on my arm was put back into the dragon's mouth. Looking at the hole, it seemed that it was indeed a mezzanine because there was no water coming out.

Put one eye on the entrance of the cave and look down. My night vision ability allows me to see things in the dark. Although the mezzanine is extremely dark, it does not affect my observation. After looking at this look, I found a lot of things. I waved: "There are really corpses."

Xiaochun came over to the hole and looked at it for a moment, then jumped up screaming. Ling came over and looked at it and said, "It's just a corpse, it's just a bit rotten."

"Get out of the way, I'll make the hole bigger."

Xiao Chun said: "Can I not participate?"

"Then you go back and rest first!" I waved her and sent her back to the Phoenix Dragon Space. I actually heard the system prompting the loyalty to increase by 2 points, which is really rare!

After retrieving Xiaochun, I used Yongheng to open an irregular hole in the floor. Anyway, it was a temporary passage. I had no tools, so I couldn't do it even if I wanted to make it into a standard shape! Ling inserted the tail of her staff into the wooden board. After I cut off the last point of connection, she lifted it up, and we pulled the cut part up.

As the entrance of the cave opened, an indescribable smell immediately rushed up. It was no longer a stinky smell. It took so long that the stinky smell had disappeared, but the smell was sour and not very pleasant!

"Look at this." Ling showed me the cut wooden board. It turned out that the wooden board was double-layered, looking like a sandwich cookie. The upper and lower layers were three-inch thick wooden boards, and there was a layer of two-inch thick white wax in the middle. It seemed that the corpse below was probably suffocated, and this layer of wax was used to seal it.

Now the situation below is much clearer after opening the hole. The entire cabin is a layer of cabin, but it has been sealed. Now there are layers of corpses piled up on the ground of the cabin, and the floor cannot be seen at all.

I jumped down to the entrance of the cave, and there were corpses underneath, and I couldn't stand it at all. As soon as I landed, I fell into a trap, but fortunately they were all soft. The bottom was exactly the same as the top, with nothing but the pillars, and a large number of corpses were piled up. I found some gold-burned magic symbols on a pillar next to me. This is probably why these corpses are still soft after so long. But which pervert wants to keep the corpses fresh? Shouldn't it be better to just kill someone and silence them into the sea?

Think about throwing the body beside her feet to the side and clearing out a floor. He looked up and stretched out his hands to Ling: "You can get down."

Ling jumped down, and I steadily caught her. After putting her down on the ground, he said, "Can you calculate the number?"

"From the thickness of the corpses and the area here, it is estimated that there are no less than 20,000 people."

"What a guy, it's a lot of people!" I looked around and Ling's estimated number should be the same. He reached out and grabbed a corpse and turned around. This was still a child, at most 12 years old. The corpse next to him was probably his mother, and he was holding it tightly. He flipped through the corpse next to him, and there were all kinds of men, women, young and old, and there was nothing in common.

Ling held the hand of a young female corpse and pulled her fingers and moved it. "The flexibility is not bad, and it is well preserved."

I pointed to a belly next to me and fired, "But some are very bad!"

Ling leaned over the symbol on the pillar and looked at it. "This is a low-level undead storage array, which is used by the undead mage to save corpses. At the same time, it will be very difficult for the undead mage to manipulate too many corpses, but the corpses are not found at any time, so the undead mage invented this thing. They usually collect the found corpses and take them out when they need to be used."

"You mean these people were not slaughtered here, but were materials collected by the necromancer?"

"Not these, these people were killed here. And this magic circle was drawn long after these people died, so some of the corpses were rotten and some were not rotten. These people did not die together. Those rotten corpses died first. The last person who died may have a necromancer. He didn't want his corpse to rot, so he drew such a thing."

"Really, what do you want a corpse when people die?"

"Under normal circumstances, necromancers are undead creatures. However, some creatures also learn necromancers and want to become necromancers. As long as they reach the level of advanced necromancers, they can transform themselves into undead creatures, and they can retain their own consciousness and become immortal bodies. However, if they do not reach the level of advanced necromancers, they will die unexpectedly, and they cannot become immortal bodies, but they will really die. However, as long as the corpse is not damaged after death, the soul will not leave the body. As long as the corpse is not damaged, the soul will not leave the body. As long as the practice continues like this, they can become high-level necromancers and then get up. This guy who draws the formation is this kind of necromancer. He wants to keep his body and can get up sooner or later."

“Can you find which one it is?”

"No, there is no difference between him and the dead before he was resurrected. I can only be sure that his body must be intact, but there are so many intact corpses here, and I don't know which one is!"

"That's a problem! It seems that these people are going to become puzzled."

"That's not necessarily true." Ling stretched out a finger and pointed it on the forehead of a corpse, and then moved up with her fingers, the corpse actually stood up. "Did you forget who I am? Can I not be such a trick of controlling corpses?"

"Ah! The boss who forgot the Necromancer is here! Hurry up, ask him what happened."

"There is no answer to the question when controlling the corpse. I can only read out the general memory. It depends on whether his soul is still nearby!" Ling closed his eyes and stood for a while, and the corpse suddenly fell down softly. Ling opened his eyes again: "Unfortunately, there are only a few small pieces left in his memory. He probably knows that they are the families of some pirates, and the others are not clear."

"Try the one next to you, there should be something intact right?"

Ling pointed a corpse again and stood up, but there were still only fragments. After experimenting with more than a dozen corpses, Ling stopped. "These people were attacked by spiritual magic before their death, their minds were in chaos, and there was no useful thing!"

"It seems there is no hope!" I grabbed the neck of a female corpse next to me and picked her up and looked at it. "Pirate? Is this little girl with tender skin and tender flesh a pirate? The sea breeze can create wrinkles more than time?"

"The memory fragments are like this. Maybe she is born with good skin! Look at this, she is only thirty years old at most, and she is almost bark!"

I turned my head and looked at the one that Ling was carrying, which was indeed very similar to tree bark. When I turned my head back, the eyes of the female corpse that I was holding on my neck suddenly opened, and the cold eyes stared at me wide. I was stunned for a moment, then took off my helmet and pulled her closer. I almost looked on her face for a long time, especially looking at her eyes, confirming that my eyes could focus and track objects. It was not because of the reflex movement caused by some nerves, but really opened my eyes. "Haha! I woke up."

After I was fucked by this, the female corpse's eyes changed from the coldness just now to confusion, and later it was a little scared. I put her down and let her stand firmly, patted her on the shoulder and asked, "Can you speak?"

She glanced at me with complicated eyes and patted her hands, then looked at me again. "Why don't you run away?"
