[Congratulations, you have triggered the hidden mission ‘Captain Willy’s Hatred’.]

[Mission content: Enter the underground river, find the parking place of the Ghost, and kill all the crew members.]

[Mission time limit: before Willy’s soul completely dissipates.]

[Task reward: Ownership of the Ghost pirate ship and recognition by the ship’s spirit.]

【Do you accept?】

"Oh?"

Mu You was stunned when he saw it. A side mission was actually triggered, and it seemed to be a large mission. He had to kill a bunch of crew members of unknown levels. The final reward was also very impressive, and it was given directly to a ship!

"Accept!"

Mu You took a quick look and directly chose to accept it. Anyway, there is no penalty for failure, so let's continue.

If he really finds this ship, he probably won't be able to defeat the crew, but aren't there still shadow ghosts? In short, it will depend on the situation.

Compared with this, what interests Mu You more about this mission is a sentence in the text: ‘The underground waterways of the Star Spirit World extend in all directions’!

This reminds Mu You, yes, why does he have to compete with those imperial knights on land? He has a fish-man mask and can go underground!

He didn't believe that those knights in heavy armor could chase them to the bottom of the water!

[You agreed to Willy's request, pulled out the lamppost from the wormwood, and put it into your backpack.]

[Note that Willy’s remnant soul can only survive for a month at most. You’d better complete the task within a month, otherwise the task will disappear early.]

[You walked to the edge of the lake and stepped into the lake with one foot. Feeling the temperature of the lake, it seemed to be within the acceptable range for you. Do you want to jump into the lake?]

"Yes."

Mu You clicked on the panel and put on the fish-man mask on the character, then clicked OK.

【You jumped into the lake.】

[The moment the soft lake water submerges your head, the biting chill also hits you from all around.]

[You continue to sink, and all that surrounds you is the boundless darkness at the bottom of the lake and the hazy starry sky above your head. Unable to land for a long time, you once suspected that you had not fallen into the lake, but into a bottomless dark abyss.

.】

[Fortunately, you finally sank to the bottom.]

[The feeling of the soles of your feet touching the ground came, and you fell into the mud of the river bed. The buoyancy of the water ensured that you were not hurt when you landed, but it also made your movements slower. The current height is 13 meters below the water surface. ]

[You turn on the pumpkin lantern. The cyan light from the lantern shines, illuminating the scene at the bottom of the lake for you.]

[What appears in front of you is a magnificent world under the lake. There are rocks, vegetation, and many colorful coral bushes. Tall marine plants and strips of aquatic plants are all around, all extending straight from the bottom of the lake to the surface of the lake. There is a lot of water.

Biological species are scattered all over it, and the water flows against the nearby rocks, like a chime with its copper bells, and the sound is endless.]

[You notice that the water at the bottom of the lake seems to be flowing. This is not a static lake. Under the rock layer at the bottom of the water, there are several tunnels leading in all directions. Through these tunnels, you can lead to a wider area outside the bottom of the lake.

The space. Fool, which direction do you choose to set off in?]

"Go west!"

Don’t hesitate about this. You can reach Sunset City by heading west on land, and it’s the same direction underwater.

[You choose to go to the west tunnel.]

[The fish-man mask ensures that you can breathe smoothly underwater, and the mud boots allow you to walk on flat ground in the soft sand at the bottom of the lake. However, the resistance of the water flow still prevents you from moving too fast, and your speed is about 10% slower than usual.

34%.】

[You walk to the west tunnel and are about to enter it. Suddenly, you hear a babbling sound coming from inside the dark tunnel, and it is approaching you at a very fast speed.]

[You had a premonition of danger and hurriedly retreated. A small red fish jumped out of the tunnel. The omniscient crystal immediately helped you analyze the species of the small fish. This is a self-destructing fish.]

[Self-explosion fish: Injures eight hundred to the enemy, damages one thousand to itself. It is a creature that grew up eating sulfur from the seabed. It has a strong sense of territory and a fiery temper. It believes in the principle of "the essence of life is explosion". When encountering a creature approaching

When they identify territory, they will take the initiative to attack. Adult self-exploding fish will explode directly when approaching the target, causing extremely high physical damage, and scatter the eggs to the depths of the ocean through the power of the explosion, waiting to produce more self-destructing fish.

Fish are a very difficult creature on the bottom of the sea in the Star Spirit Realm.]

[The self-destructing fish sees you, its belly instantly swells into a ball, and it rushes towards you quickly.]

[You want to escape, but unfortunately the speed of the self-destructing fish in the water is much faster than yours. It rushes in front of you in the blink of an eye and activates its self-destruction!]

[You were damaged by the close-range explosion of the self-destructing fish, and your health was -600. Due to the damage to your heart, your vampire skin's ability to automatically restore health has failed.]

"What the hell is Deidara, he's going to blow himself up when we meet!"

Mu You's eyelids twitched when he saw it, and he hurriedly looked back in time and tried other operations.

It turned out to be useless. The fish was so fast that he didn't even have time to release his magic before he got close to him and then blew himself up without saying a word.

After confirming that the damage was unavoidable, Mu You stopped struggling. If he was blown up, just blow it up. He wouldn't die anyway.

[You search the place where the self-destructing fish disappeared and found ‘unstable sulfur’*1.]

[Unstable sulfur: Self-exploding fish have long swallowed the crystals of seabed sulfur that condensed in the body. It is a special alchemy material that has the characteristics of some explosives. It will explode when it is stimulated to a certain extent. Be careful when saving it.]

After being blown up in a daze, I obtained a comforting material.

Mu You didn't have time to feel melancholy. In reality, he hurriedly switched to vampire skin and took off the ghost cloak on his skin.

The explosion of this self-destructing fish is physical damage, and the ghost form of the cloak can perfectly defend it. I didn't have time to operate it just now, so hurry up and send it in when you have time.

Since the tunnel is regarded as the 'territory' by the self-destructing fish, there might be other self-destructing fish inside.

After loading the 'Ghost Cloak' on the game character, Mu You clicked on 'Life Drain' in the spell bar of the panel.

[You walked to a nearby aquatic plant and activated Life Drain on the aquatic plant. The aquatic plant withered quickly, and the life force in it was absorbed by you, repairing the injury to your heart.]

[Under the influence of the Butcher Wolf talent, your injuries began to recover quickly, and your health returned to full value in an instant.]

In order to avoid wasting the breast mirror in the game, Mu You has always stayed in reality.

At this moment, the self-destructing fish can damage his heart when it explodes, which will cause the recovery effect to be invalid. Mu You can only use this troublesome method to heal the injury.

However, the spell 'Life Drain' seems to be quite useful now. It can also be used on plants, so there is no need to worry about finding the target for the spell.

[You continue to move forward and enter the natural tunnel at the bottom of the lake to the west.]

[This tunnel is an extremely long and dark trench, getting narrower as you go deeper. At this time, you suddenly hear a familiar babbling sound in front of you. Through the reflection of the pumpkin lantern, you see a dozen self-destructing fish in front of you.

Coming towards you crazily...]

"Sure enough, there is still one!"

More than a dozen fish rushed at the same time. Mu Youxin said that they probably broke into the nest of the self-destructing fish.

Without any time to think, he immediately opened the panel and used the ghost cloak.

[You entered the ghost form, and the self-exploding fish exploded around you like firecrackers, but they never hurt you at all.]

[After a while, all the self-destructing fish have finished self-destructing, and there are no other adult self-destructing fish in the tunnel. You can search around with confidence and obtain ‘Unstable Sulfur’*17.]

A ghost form, he picked up seventeen dropped items for nothing, and he was very happy. But what made Mu You even more fortunate was that the trench was strong enough. So many fish were exploded at the same time, and none of them collapsed. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would really be killed.

Buried alive here.

[You continue to swim forward. After passing through the narrowest section of the trench, the passage gradually becomes wider. After tens of meters, the front suddenly becomes clear...]

[You have entered a brand new sea area. There are no longer any mountain walls to cover you. The water in all directions can’t be seen at a glance. You look down. On the seabed tens of meters below, countless luminous marine plants are connected together, like a

Thousands of lights on land illuminate the dark seabed.]

After passing through the trench, it seems that you have entered a new world under the sea that is like a peach blossom garden.

The description in the text is quite beautiful, but it’s a pity that Mu You can’t see anything. He can only imagine the scene on the other side while controlling the character to continue on his way.

[You come to the bottom of the sea, the current depth is 74 meters below the water surface.]

[You see a fishman (level 7) passing in front of you, waving a blade made of scallops and rushing towards you.]

[After a chaotic battle, you successfully killed the murloc with a lifespan of 1 and an experience value of 7, and summoned a murloc zombie from its corpse.]

……

[You see a two-headed and tailless salamander (level 9) lying in the sand in front of you. This creature has heads at both ends and has highly poisonous properties.]

[With the help of the Murloc Zombie, you successfully killed the Salamander, with a lifespan of 1 and an experience value of 9, and summoned a Salamander Zombie from its corpse.]

……

[While passing an underwater rock, you were attacked by an amphibious night crawler (level 8).]

[With the cooperation of the zombie beast, you successfully killed the amphibious nightcrawler, with a lifespan of 1 and an experience value of 8, and summoned a new zombie beast from its corpse...]

……

Mu You found that his strength under water was greatly limited. Not only his movement speed and attack speed were reduced by one-third, but his bow and arrow were also restricted in the water and could not shoot too far. In addition, fire magic such as fireballs and fire circles could not be used.

Using it, the war eagle, the most powerful summoned beast at present, cannot enter the water.
