Soul echo

547 Ghost Ship

Life at sea was much more boring than Lilian imagined, even if the fleet sailed along the coastline, they could hardly see the land.

In the past few days at sea, the audience in the live broadcast room has been decreasing, and such days will last for one to two months. Lilian feels that it is difficult for her to imagine what her live broadcast room will look like in a month.

Although she already knew that this world existed, it was still difficult for Lilian to treat this world with an attitude towards 'reality'.

Just as Lilian was sighing, Zhong Ye came out of the cabin.

At this time, there were many people on the deck. After all, life at sea was so boring. Apart from chatting with each other, there were almost no other recreational activities.

Zhong Ye doesn't like to go out for activities when there are many people. He has a great reputation in the west land, even people in the Nuoji Kingdom have heard of it, not to mention that people from the Nuoji Kingdom are not the only ones who will board a ship to go to the East. People from other parts of the Westland will also have the idea of ​​'going to the Eastland'.

Although it is not an easy task to go to Dongtu by boat from the Northern Passage, and you need to risk your life, even so, it can't stop people's curiosity and yearning for Dongtu.

Once Zhong Ye came out when there were many people, he would become a topic of discussion, so he rarely left the cabin when there were other people on the deck.

"Teacher?" Lilian tilted her head against the side of the ship.

Zhong Ye raised his hand to support the side of the boat, and did not reply, but silently sensed the vibration of the hull.

"...something under the boat."

Just a few seconds after he finished speaking, the leading ship ahead suddenly blew its horn.

The first horn was sounded, followed by other ships.

The vast and distant sound waves resounded through this sea area, shaking the sea water with waves.

Hearing the sound of the horn, the sailors on the ship took action. They yelled and drove the passengers staying on the deck back to the cabin. When it was Zhong Ye and Lilian's turn, the sailors' tone softened: "You two, you Please go back to the cabin, the deck is not safe."

"Do you need my help?" Zhong Ye asked.

In the past few days, Zhang Qian also confirmed Zhong Ye's identity from the passengers, so he told the sailors on the ship not to disturb Zhong Ye easily.

However, the current situation...

The sailor who was questioned by Zhong Ye couldn't make up his mind for a while, just when he was hesitating, Zhong Ye turned around and jumped off the ship.

"My lord!" The sailor was so startled that he was sweating all over, and hurried to the side of the boat, just in time to see Zhong Ye fall into the sea.

Seeing his panicked face, Lilian patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said in Eastern dialect: "Don't worry, teacher, he is a legend!"

Falling into the water, Zhong Ye suddenly found that he was not good at naval battles.

He couldn't breathe in the water, and before going out to sea, he forgot to prepare the spell props that would allow him to breathe underwater.

Being unable to breathe also means that the 'Qi' in his body cannot be regenerated, so use a little less.

Fortunately, he still has psychic powers.

The underwater thing is a ghost ship, this kind of scary thing that often appears in sea horror stories sailed out of legends and stories, and appeared in front of Zhong Ye.

There was more than one ghost ship, and several ghost ships formed a scattered formation and rushed towards their fleet.

And the advance team of the ghost ship—a group of skeletons without flesh and blood were clinging to the bottom of the ship, dragging down several ships in the fleet, and the ship Zhong Ye was on was one of them.

Zhong Ye activated his psychic energy, but the boundless sea water became a resistance. He tried his best to push the psychic energy over. Tons of sea water was slowly pushed, and when it fell on the skeleton, most of the power was eliminated.

Can't use Psionic Blast like normal?

Zhong Ye thought for a while, then activated his spiritual energy, shaped it into a needle shape, and pierced into the soul cores of the skeletons.

All undead have a fatal weakness, which is difficult for most people to reach, but Zhong Ye is not among them.

The skeletons collapsed in pieces, and wherever Zhong Ye glanced, the soul cores of all the undead were crushed by him.

Zhong Ye quickly sensed the malice from the ghost ship, but he didn't move until all the skeletons were cleaned up, and before several ghost ships hit him, he suddenly floated up and broke through the water with a bang.

knock!
Zhong Ye landed on the side of the ship, and the whole ship seemed to shake for it.

--Suck!

Just as Zhong Ye took a deep breath, the surface of the sea exploded one after another, and ghost ships surfaced one after another.

At that time, Zhong Ye suddenly jumped up, took out the long knife in the air, fell from the sky, and swung the knife light like a new moon.

The knife smoothly sliced ​​through the hull of a ghost ship, and the atmosphere that was split by the blade rolled back, frantically pouring into the half-cut ghost ship. People didn't realize what happened, the ghost ship It was as if the middle section had suffered a heavy blow, and the front and rear ends were lifted at the same time, falling apart in an instant.

call--!
Stepping on the solidified sea water that looked like steel, and standing in front of the cut-off ghost ship, Zhong Ye slowly exhaled a foul breath.

The ghost ships turned around one after another, and the tattered sails on the ship rushed towards Zhong Ye without any wind.

The cables on the ship then activated and were thrown out like whips.

Seeing this, Zhong Ye took out the straight knives from his bracelet, brandished both knives, and at the same time stepped forward, running on the sea.

The activation cables were split one after another, and fierce spirits spewed out from several ghost ships like a tide. This time, they not only flocked to Zhong Ye, but also flocked to the surrounding ships.

But at this time, the fleet had already completed the adjustments and aimed the side artillery positions at several ghost ships.

boom!boom!boom!
With the roar of several artillery fires, bright flames exploded on the ghost ship.

The fleet had long been prepared for the current situation, so the flames that exploded on the ghost ship were not fleeting, but turned into tangible flames, burning the hull.

The flames spread rapidly, and after the undead came into contact with these flames, the body seemed to be deconstructed, turned into a gravel-like substance, and quickly stripped from the whole.

The shrill screams echoed in this sea area, but the gunner turned a deaf ear and fired two more shots.

Before Zhong Ye could make a move, several other ghost ships were wiped out under the fierce artillery fire.

But this is not something incomprehensible. If there is no such ability, it is impossible for this fleet to travel between the East and West.

Zhong Ye put away his weapon and looked for his own boat. After seeing Lilian standing on the side of the boat and waving, he jumped on it.

blah blah blah!
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhong Ye and Lilian turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw Zhang Qian and several others walking over together.

When they came to Zhong Ye, the first thing they did was to give Zhong Ye a big gift.

Zhong Ye's face turned serious, and he immediately bowed back with his hands clasped in fists.

After getting up, Zhang Qian sighed: "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. If my brother hadn't helped me drag those monster ships this time, the fleet might have sunk a few ships here."

"Extremely great!"

"It's really thanks to sir!" The others echoed one after another.

The ghost ship came too suddenly. Although the fleet's reaction was fast, once they were entangled by the ghost ship and the dead souls on board were allowed to board the ship, the consequences would be disastrous.

Fortunately, Zhong Ye dragged those ghost ships, otherwise, the fleet might be left here with a few ships, and it might not be possible to sink all the ghost ships.

Zhong Ye shook his head, "Seeing injustice, we naturally draw our swords to help. Besides, our ship is also one of the targets of those ghost ships. Even if I didn't take action before, I will do so in the future."

Zhang Qian and the others all knew that Zhong Ye was speaking modestly. If he was really a cold and indifferent person, how could he have gained a great reputation in Westland in just one year?
After chatting with Zhong Ye gratefully for a while, everyone dispersed because they still had a lot of work to do.

Only Zhang Qian stayed, and his job was to communicate with the passengers on the ship, but now the passengers don't need to be appeased, they have seen the strength of the fleet, and they can have great confidence in the next journey.

"Things like this—" Zhong Ye pointed to the sea, "Are there more in the future voyage?"

"many."

Zhang Qian's face was heavy, and he couldn't help sighing: "There are too many to list."

Hearing this, Zhong Ye nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at the sea water.
