The ajar hatch was pushed open with a creak, and a beam of cold light came in from the outside, reflecting a gray world.
Fang held up the lighting crystal and shook it. A musty smell hit his face, and slowly flowing dust floated in the air.
He frowned and waved his hand, took out a purification crystal and threw it in.
The crystal fell to the ground and broke into pieces with a bang. The wind element stored in it surged and began to blow away the turbid air in the cabin.
It is actually a small wind-making technique, which can be made by elementalists. It is a must-have for exploring underground ruins.
Of course, it is also suitable for occasions like this.
"What kind of ship is this?" Ai Xiaoxiao asked quietly at this time.
Fang shook his head.
He had previously released the Clockwork Goblin to take a look at the stern of the ship, but the nameplate there had been rusted to a terrible extent and covered with patina. He could only barely make out the two bytes de...a....
There were no flags on the ship, and there were no emblems on the sails that could identify its identity. Speaking of emblems and identifiers, he just remembered that the Seven Seas Brigade also needed a logo of its own, but now was not the time to think about it. He decided
Use your spare time to design another one.
It is said that such a large ship has an extraordinary origin. Its shape is a sail-shaped flying wing ship. Such a ship is either an exploration ship or a warship. Of course, it may also be a pirate ship, but in short it will not be a merchant ship.
Generally speaking, pirate ships are more likely to have them. Warships will not be without markings, followed by exploration ships, which is also a possibility.
At this time, there was a click, and Luo Yu stepped into the ship's plank. Everyone turned around, and the former shook his head a little embarrassed, saying that he was fine.
"This ship is in a state of decay," Fang took a look and warned, "Everyone, be careful, the deck may turn into a trap at any time in a place like this."
"Will there be treasure in this boat?" Ai Xiaoxiao asked.
"It's possible."
Fang's tone was uncertain. But they came up to find out what was going on, not just for the possible treasures.
"If Parker were here, he might like an occasion like this." Luo Yu said as he pulled out his foot with Tang Xin's help.
Box nodded, agreeing with this point of view. Among all the people, he had the best relationship with the Papalar people, so he was the most convincing.
"The most likely place to find valuable relics is the bottom warehouse first," Fang Xian said to several people while waiting for ventilation and exhaust. "The second place is the captain's room, the material warehouse, and the magic engine room. The captain's room
See if you can recover some personal belongings and find out the true identity of this ship. The material warehouse may have spare precious materials, and the magic cabin itself has many valuable things. In addition, there are some functional cabins, such as alchemy.
Not every ship has a workshop, potion room, etc. It just depends on our luck."
Everyone nodded.
Fang added: "The captain's cabin should be closest to us. The magic engine room is usually in the middle of the hull. We go to the captain's cabin first, then to the magic engine cabin, and finally to the material warehouse and bottom warehouse. It would save time to work separately, but no one can
I don’t know if there is any danger down there, so we’d better act together.”
Everyone still nodded, and Tang Xin thought about it for a moment and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Fang then took out the communication crystal and sent back the situation here.
There is no obstacle to communication. The people left behind on the Seven Seas Traveler are Baggins, Luo Hao and Papalar, as well as Etila, Tianlan and others who are in charge of internal affairs. I heard that a sunken ship and a possible shipwreck have been discovered here.
The treasure, Parker was so jealous that his eyes turned green, and Tian Lan even told the group leader to be partial.
But I didn't bother to pay attention to them just now. After saying it was safe, I turned off the communication crystal and waited for a while. Under the influence of wind element magic, the turbid air in the cabin below should have been almost exhausted.
"Ai Xiaoxiao," he said, "you take the lead."
"ah?"
"Ah what? You are a ranger with the sharpest observation. Now Miss Attila has taken a back seat. In the future, you and Alyssa will serve as the two eyes of the team, one near and one far. You are responsible for defense and she is responsible for offense," Fang
Said, "Don't worry, I will let my flexible structure stand by to protect you."
"But I heard that the sword wielder is a very old model, Cousin Ed," Ai Xiaoxiao asked honestly, "Can it really protect me?"
As she asked, she tapped the empty copper shell of the structure standing beside her with her hand.
"It depends on who is controlling it. If it is your group leader, even the older model will still work."
Fang was serious and used words to cover up the fact that he didn't have a better construct at hand.
Tang Xin glanced at him angrily. She shook her head, gently pushed her friend behind her and said, "Listen to him, Xiaoxiao. Although this damn pigeon is unreliable, it still has a few tricks up its sleeve."
Brush.”
Ai Xiaoxiao had always trusted this eldest cousin, and after hearing these words, she no longer doubted him. She pulled out a pair of scimitars with some skill and walked out cautiously.
The eldest cousin said that she could become an eye on the team in the future, which made Ai Xiaoxiao quite like it. If she could stay in this world forever, it would mean that her homework would be postponed indefinitely.
Of course, this is just the little girl's wishful thinking. We will leave this matter for later.
But for the time being, Ai Xiaoxiao felt that the world was much more interesting than her holiday homework.
The group of people followed Ai Xiaoxiao forward, and the wooden boards under their feet creaked and made human noises, almost making people suspect that it would collapse at any time.
However, Ai Xiaoxiao acted scared before, but now she is bold. Only the shadows passing by on the beams can make her stop a little.
Those are just insects hiding on the ship. Under the cover of the years, the sunken ship has long become a paradise for Kukai creatures. But this is also the danger. There are many aggressive high-level creatures among the uninvited guests.
There are also undead souls born in darkness and filth. Such shipwrecks are often haunted by ghosts. Ghost ships are just legends in another world, but not here.
However, Fang had used clockwork goblins to conduct an inspection in advance, and had them fly to the lower deck to observe the degree of decay of the deck below. He often told Ai Xiaoxiao to avoid dangerous places.
After a while, Ai Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped, turned around and gestured to them in a low voice:
"There's something behind the wall."
In fact, Fang had already seen it. There was an undead sailor wandering behind the door, with the flames of his dim soul floating in his empty eyes. It hadn't noticed them yet.
Tang Xin wanted to raise the Holy Emblem, but Fang stopped her cousin first.
He took out a hand crossbow from under his coat, aimed in that direction, and pulled the trigger. The crossbow bolt fired, passed through the rotten wall panel, and hit the latter's head. The undead sailor fell down with the sound, and the skull followed the tilted
The deck rolled over and stopped not far from them. The fire in their eyes had long disappeared.
Fang put away his crossbow and said to the others: "It's just a wandering undead of the lowest level. There's no need to go to all the trouble and alarm other things."
Ai Xiaoxiao looked at him a little stunned.
"Cousin, you have changed," she said unexpectedly. "You seem to be more reliable than before."
Tang Xin also glanced at her cousin, but she didn't expect him to be so handsome.
She bit her lip. Is this what he is pursuing? Or do men look more attractive when they are pursuing their ideals?
The faint reluctance that had sunk in her heart for a while now surfaced again.
That's her brother, don't those things he promised count?
"The captain has changed a lot," Luo Yu also agreed with this view. "The captain can handle so many things on the Seven Seas Traveler alone. Moreover, the captain must have made such a decision in Istania before.
It takes a lot of hesitation."
In response to the questions of several people, Fang's face felt a little feverish, but he also smiled lightly. The experience of Sha Hai and his party did make him change a lot. He now dared to make decisions that he did not dare to make in the past, arranging affairs on the ship and taking on responsibilities.
The responsibility of a leader may be maturity.
There was only a box, and he carefully observed the other party with his eyes hidden under the raised collar, but he couldn't see any changes.
He's obviously still the same person. Alas, I didn't expect everyone to fall for it. It's ridiculous commercial flattery.
But what does all this have to do with him, a ruthless killer?
"Box," Ai Xiaoxiao turned around, "What do you think?"
"Humph," Xiangxiang responded vaguely, "The leader is quite nice."
The giant ship tilted sharply, and the passage that was originally easy to pass through turned into a steep and dangerous zone at this angle. In some places, it was almost necessary to use both hands and feet to pass.
The tilted hull also turned some things into fatal traps. A few people had seen a cannon move sideways, knocking off the side of the ship and falling into the abyss in that direction.
If the sword holder had pushed Ai Xiaoxiao away more slowly, the latter would have been knocked down.
This is also the most thrilling situation the group has encountered so far. Apart from that, there are only some low-level undead wandering in the cabin.
On the direct artillery deck, these magic cannons are stacked up in a haphazard manner, but most of them are badly rusted. There may be some inside that can be used after cleaning, but for the time being, their focus is not on these bulky things.
Passing through the cabin that was obviously a restaurant, the bones of the dead were scattered all over the floor. The chandelier on the ceiling also tilted to one side along with the hull of the ship. Some paper maps slipped off the table and were scattered on the floor, gathering dust.
Fang picked up a piece of paper, and the paper shattered into pieces and turned into dust. It was obviously not easy to preserve these fragile things in the Kukai environment.
In front is the ship's cabin, and beyond is the captain's cabin. Fang opened the door, and there were still two dead bones lying on the ground. Judging from their attire, they should be officers.
If he is a pirate, his status should be high, either first mate or herald.
However, the piles of corpses clearly attracted his attention. Ordinarily, it was a shipwreck, and so many people would not have died. There was a prayer room on the ship, a resurrection point, and communication was intact, so they should wait for rescue.
Even if you are a pirate, you should be able to escape.
But the people on the boat seemed to have died at the moment of the shipwreck.
He turned around after thinking, and his cousin obviously noticed this. She raised her head and looked at him, and whispered: "This may be a dead zone."
Fang nodded.
This very lethal word obviously had an impact on other people, and everyone couldn't help but be more cautious.
Even Ai Xiaoxiao at the front shrank back.
"What should we do next?" Luo Yu asked, "Should we go back first?"
"Look further ahead." Fang replied after pondering for a moment.
Dead Zones are nothing new to him. There are Dead Zones in many weird places in Etalia, some are man-made, and some are not. So far, apart from the fact that there are a lot of them near the mainland bridge,
I haven't found any special pattern yet.
And places with dead zones often mean they are inaccessible and may contain really good things.
How can the so-called adventure be carried out without taking any risks?
He took out the communication crystal and reported the situation here. Miss Aitila didn't say much except asking him to be careful.
Luo Hao suggested bringing the Seven Seas Traveler over, but Fang refused and would wait until the repairs were completed.
There was nothing of note in the ship's cabin. When I opened the drawers of the surrounding cabinets, the inside was pitch black, as if it was filled with a drawer of dust.
There were only some old coins that were recovered in the spirit that fly meat is also meat, but not much.
There were no valuable clues on the two corpses, and their identities could not be determined.
Passing through the ship's cabin, there is a locked door in front of it. The door is quite delicate, and through the dust, some of the old color can be seen on it. This is about the only thing they have seen since they boarded the ship besides the gray color.
color.
Fang stopped in front of the door. He knew that behind it was the captain's cabin, but before opening the door, he turned back and looked at Ai Xiaoxiao.
Ai Xiaoxiao reacted and shook her head, "There was no movement behind the door."
She mouthed it to describe it.
The captain's cabin is sealed, and Fang Zao confirmed this by flying around with a clockwork fairy.
There was no trap on the door either, the box confirmed this with detection magic.
Most of the traps in this kind of place are temporary in nature. After all, no one would set up something nonsensical like a poisoned heavy crossbow in a place where they usually go in and out.
After confirming these two points, Fang still cautiously ordered the sword holder to come forward and cut open the captain's cabin door with one sword.
Facts have proved that his caution was not useless. Under his command, the sword holder took a step forward and opened the captain's cabin door with his sword. At the same time, without almost everyone seeing clearly, a ray of silver light came from behind.
The broken wooden door was drawn out, and the man holding the sword was hit in the waist.
The man holding the sword was directly cut off from the middle. His upper body, still maintaining the posture of swinging the sword, was separated from his lower body, flew out, hit the wooden board, and torn apart together with the wooden board.
Just a moment later, the lower body flew out and crashed into a pile of chairs.
After the silver light flashed, everyone saw a dark red light flash behind the door, and another silver light shot out from the dark doorway.
The silver light pointed directly at Fang among the crowd.
But at this time, Box finally reacted. He held the short staff and a layer of gray net spread from the head of the staff.
The silver light passed through the invisible gray net. When the speed slowed down, Box stepped forward and pulled out the rapier with his backhand. Another silver light flashed in the darkness.
Sparks flew in the air, and the silver light turned to the side, inserted into the wall panel, and finally revealed its figure.
It was a short spear with shining silver light.
Fang glanced at the box. The Spell Poet's ability can attach four instant magic circles to the magic core crystal. Although this ability will reduce the maximum power value, it is indeed the most suitable direction for dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.
Box has also begun to walk on his own path, and is going further and further down the path of the magic sword. To be honest, he didn't even provide much advice. Gu Bai Zhiye is really good at reading people.
Just for a moment, a strange construct crawled out of the door, allowing everyone to see clearly the appearance of their opponent.
It was a construct that looked quite unfamiliar to Fang.
It has a slender shape, like an upright bamboo pole, with a pointed hat on its head, and a dark red light shines under the hat.
That was the red light they saw before, the eyes of this construct.
The construct generally maintains a human shape, but is very tall, almost having to stoop to stand in this small space.
It is covered in black paint, with dark gold lace around it. It is rusted in some places, and the exposed parts are obviously copper-colored.
The weapon of this construct is a long knife hanging on the side of the waist. The knife is put into a magic scabbard and connected to the magic furnace behind it with a leather tube.
Yes, this construct is equipped with a magic furnace. Although Fang has not yet identified the model of the magic furnace, it is indeed the first time he has seen a construct equipped with a magic furnace.
Presumably, the sharp sword struck earlier was swung from the magic scabbard.
The flexible structure of the so-called sword wielder was unable to resist this sword.
But that sword is not yet the main weapon of this build.
Because Fang has already seen that in its slender copper hands, it is holding an Empire Type 11 magic rifle. The same leather tube is connected to the magic furnace behind it. The dark gun body has cold light refracted from the edge.
, a dark red light spot, with a chirping mechanical sound, aimed at itself.
The way this thing held a gun in both hands reminded Fang of the toy soldiers he played with when he was a child.
It's just that the one in front of me is slimmer and much more hard-core than those toys.
A ray of fire burst out in the darkness, and the golden-red bullets whirled through the gray net set up by the young man.
Since everything from the appearance of the construct to the raising of the gun and firing happened in the blink of an eye, Box only had time to turn around, with a gleam of surprise in his eyes:
"Ignore magic!?"
"Cousin Ed, be careful!" Ai Xiaoxiao also screamed in fear.
But Fang seemed to have already seen a crisis in his heart. He almost unconsciously stepped aside, and the bullet passed through the wall and opened a big hole there.
Due to the wind pressure, Fang heard a buzzing in his ears. His consciousness went blank for a moment, and he almost realized that the blessing of darkness saved his life again.
That thing is so fast.
But more than this, what shocked him more was that at the moment when the construct fired, he felt similar fluctuations emanating from the opponent's nuclear crystal.
Neither the Rune Sentinels nor the Golems have such exposed magic power, they are flexible constructions!
Let’s not put aside what it means to use the soul structure of the magic furnace. What surprised Fang was that there were other combat craftsmen in this place?
At this time, he heard the sound of the box coming from the front.
"Don't do anything, I can deal with it alone!"
The young man's fighting spirit was clearly rising.
