Chapter 38: The Ghost's Entrustment

A high-flying berserker with his own "intimidation" skill.

Just now, the ghost was blown away by Jiang Feng's "Scorching Glory" and was frightened, giving Gao Fei an advantage in the "Intimidate" check he made against it.

After some sweet words of persuasion, Goofy successfully frightened the ghost of Fred Lange, and a faint pleading sound came from his skull.

"Gods be high! Two kind-hearted gentlemen, please forgive me for my recklessness! I would like to express my deep apology to you for my rude behavior just now!"

Before he finished speaking, a gloomy haze emerged from the skull, appearing as a vague human figure.

The ghost retained the physical and attire characteristics of his life. He looked like a middle-aged man wearing a naval officer's uniform, but the details of his appearance were somewhat blurry.

"Mr. Lange, we found your diary in the cave on the island, and learned about the grudge between you and Mr. Cos, the captain of the Flying Fish. Judging from your current situation, it seems that you have not been able to escape Captain Cos in the end.

Poisonous hand."

Gao Fei said with pretense of regret.

"Oh! My kind sir, you are mistaken. It was not Captain Cos who killed me, but a group of ferocious wolves!"

At the mention of the word "wolf", the ghost of the first mate trembled violently and looked very frightened.

Gao Fei and Jiang Feng exchanged glances, both showing signs of enlightenment.

No wonder Fred Lange’s skeleton was incomplete and there were bite marks on the bones. It turned out that this guy was eaten by a wolf.

"Mr. Lange, you are making a living on a privateer ship. After all, you can be considered a good man who has seen strong winds and waves. How come you can't even deal with a few wolves?" Jiang Feng asked in surprise.

"Alas! Young sir, I must remind you, that is no ordinary wolf!" The ghost waved his arms excitedly, "Crossing over this valley, there is a group of ferocious dire wolves, the leader of the wolf pack, entrenched near the spring on the opposite side.

It’s a winter wolf! Gods for heaven’s sake, I really don’t want to recall the scene when I encountered a pack of wolves alone, it was too scary!”

"Dire wolves, and winter wolves..." Gao Fei frowned, feeling that these wolves would become his and Jiang Feng's opponents.

Sure enough, the ghost made a request to them.

"Two kind-hearted gentlemen, let me tell you that what I hate the most in my life is Captain Cos and those evil wolves. If you can help me eliminate them so that my soul can rest in peace, I will thank you very much!"

"Okay! The mission has finally been triggered!" Jiang Feng asked Ghost excitedly, "We can help, but there is something we need to ask clearly. How are you going to thank us after it's done?"

The ghost rolled his eyes that no longer existed, and a sly smile appeared on his face.

"I hid a bottle of silver ointment in the valley. I originally planned to use it to deal with Captain Kos who had turned into a zombie. Unfortunately, I have become like this and no longer need this thing."

"If you plan to explore the 'Flying Fish' stranded on the beach, I can give you the silver refining ointment, which can be applied to the weapon to penetrate the zombie's damage-reducing armor."

"Silver Refining Ointment is indeed a good thing, but it's a pity that you said it too late. We don't need it now." Gao Fei stared at the ghost and said slowly: "In fact, we don't care about the hidden treasure in your hand."

Baotu is more interested."

"What, what treasure map? I don't know what you are talking about!"

The ghost looked panicked.

"Stop pretending to be confused! We have already been to the Flying Fish and successfully eliminated Captain Cos and his group of zombies. From his diary, we learned that you stole Captain Cos's treasure map!"

Gao Fei sneered, and then said: "You have become a ghost, and it is useless to hold the treasure map. You are reluctant to part with this extraneous thing. You can't ask us to help you take revenge. I hope you will be able to tear you apart with those people on this desert island."

Have fun with the bad wolves!”

"Ah... kind sir, don't leave!" Ghost hurriedly floated over to stop Gao Fei, and asked dubiously: "Did you really kill Captain Cos?"

Gao Fei didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he showed the refined battle ax captured from Captain Kos and shook it at the ghost.

"You should still have an impression of this axe, right?"

"Yes, this is indeed Captain Kos's battle ax..." Ghost hesitated for a moment, then seemed to finally make up his mind, "Okay! As long as you kill those wolves, I will give you the treasure map!"

"Deal!" Gao Fei shook hands with Ghost with satisfaction.

"Gao Fei, could this guy be deceiving us, making false promises and regretting them later?" Jiang Feng asked softly.

"The system just prompted me to conclude a contract with the ghost of Fred Lange. As long as we complete the task, he will not break his promise." Gao Fei replied with a smile.

"That's good, let's go kill the wolf next!"

Hearing that there was a fight to be had, Jiang Nuxia became excited.

"Don't worry, I'll investigate first."

Gao Fei switches to God's perspective, overlooks the valley, and follows the clues provided by the ghost to find the mountain spring where the wolves live.

Dense shrubs grew beside the spring. Gao Fei lowered his viewing angle to the lowest position and could not see where the wolves were hiding, so he extracted the energy of the astrolabe to disperse the darkness and fog in the forest, and found five beasts.

Four of them are dire wolves, their size is comparable to the lion nicknamed "Pasha" in the Sevinia Arena, with jet black fur and sharp claws, exuding a wild and ferocious aura.

There is also a white wolf, the winter wolf that Fred Lange fears most.

Monsters detected remotely using energy are automatically included in the astrolabe database.

Judging from the illustrated book, the challenge level of the dire wolf is level 1. Its various statistics and special abilities are similar to those of the dire hyena. After all, it is not out of the category of beasts. The winter wolf is a cold magical beast, which is much more powerful than the dire wolf.
