In the darkness, the shrunken moon beast suddenly twisted its body violently, and a golden spear stuck out like a dragon.
Qin Zhibo's pupils shrank suddenly and he quickly raised his sword to block.
when!
After a crisp metal collision, the golden spears in the Moon Beast's webbed hands were swung away, and Qin Zhibo himself was forced to take two steps back by the huge force.
This monster is quite strong...
Qin Zhibo tightened the sword in his hand, but the sound of skeletons dragging on the floor sounded again behind his ears.
not good!
He subconsciously struck back with his sword and slashed at the two skeletons behind him.
The gray skeleton instantly broke into two pieces and collapsed to the floor along with a large amount of dust.
But these skeletons cannot be killed. Even if their bodies are cut off, they will still crawl towards them.
Moreover, more skeletons were slowly approaching in the dim cabin, like zombies.
Seeing this scene, Qin Zhibo felt something bad in his heart.
He knew he couldn't delay it any longer.
Once you wait until the skeleton behind you approaches you, you will be under attack from both sides, and it will be even more impossible to win.
Judging from the way these skeletons move, they should be controlled by supernatural forces.
The source of this supernatural power is the moon beast in front of him.
Although this moon beast does not seem to have an intelligent race capable of performing such manipulations, this is just human prejudice.
Qin Zhibo's intuition told him that even the disappeared Black Feather Kaito was kidnapped by this monster in the same way as himself.
In this case, I must kill it here today.
Qin Zhibo held the Oath-Keeping Sword with both hands, carried the sword by his side, and leaned forward with his entire body.
The next moment, he kicked the ground with his right foot and rushed towards the gray-white creature on the opposite side.
Although moon beasts have no facial features, the cluster of short tentacles on their blunt snouts are their organs for sensing the external world.
The moment Qin Zhibo rushed over, those short tentacles suddenly trembled violently and pointed in Qin Zhibo's direction.
At the same time, the pair of webbed hands also grasped the golden spear and stabbed it towards Qin Zhibo's head.
This spear was predicted accurately, and it was completely unlike an attack that this seemingly slow creature could launch.
But just when the spearhead was about to hit, Qin Zhibo, who was running with his body leaning forward, moved half a step to the right like a ghost, just avoiding the sharp spearhead.
Due to its length, the golden spear cannot be retrieved quickly after a missed blow.
Before that, Qin Zhibo had already rushed in front of the moon beast.
He stopped stepping forward, and swung the Oath-Keeping Sword at his side from the lower right to the upper left.
"Iai!"
A huge cold light sliced through the swollen body of the moon beast. In an instant, the gray-white flesh bloomed like a flower, and a large amount of light pink blood poured out.
This extremely swift and violent blow gave the moon beast no time to react.
In an instant, the cluster of short tentacles used to replace the head trembled wildly, as if they were experiencing a stress reaction caused by a huge physical stimulus.
However, before it could realize the extent of the trauma it had suffered, it struck with an extremely sharp knife.
This knife was placed between the short tentacles and the slimy body.
Along with the recovery of the knife, dozens of pink tentacles scattered to the ground.
These tentacles were still twitching on the floor, making a "tapping" sound.
Having lost its important organ for sensing the outside world, the moon beast became even more crazy. It grabbed the golden spear and began to wave it around randomly.
Qin Zhibo's eyes became even colder, and he slashed forward with both hands, cutting off the thick arm holding the golden spear.
when!
The golden spear fell to the ground with fresh arms.
Without this important means of resistance, the moon beast almost immediately turned around and fled into the secret space of the cabin.
As it ran, it also let out a low and shrill roar.
But how could Qin Zhibo give it this chance?
After catching up and taking a few more cuts, the moon beast's slimy body suddenly fell to the ground.
The pink blood flows slowly, painting the old floor with a bright color.
Looking at this monster body that was gradually losing its vitality, Qin Zhibo's anxious heart relaxed a little.
Although this race called Moon Beast is unique to the Dreamland, it is still easier to kill than the Mi-G in reality.
At least in terms of the hardness of the skin, Moon Beast hardly has it.
And what he just used was the "Secret Technique: Iai Slash" taught by Ishikawa Goemon.
It's just that in terms of power, it can't be compared with Ishikawa Goemon's version.
If Ishikawa Goemon had made this sword attack himself in the real world, it is estimated that no matter how large the moon beast was, it would still be cut off with a single sword blow.
Looking at the body of the moon beast, Qin Zhibo suddenly thought of those skeleton monsters in the cabin.
Looking back, I saw many skeletons lying on the floor behind me.
These skeletons were completely silent at this moment.
really……
Just as I guessed, it was the moon beast that controlled these skeleton monsters.
The moon beast controls the skeleton to sail the ship, attracts humans on board, and then waits for an opportunity to take humans to the moon as slaves.
Fortunately, I was able to use the Oath Keeper Sword in the dreamland, otherwise I might have really fallen into trouble here today.
Qin Zhibo stabbed the moon beast's body a few more times with the Oath-Keeping Sword. After making sure that this thing would not be a corpse, he took the sword back.
After he turned back to confirm that the skeleton monster was still motionless, he stepped into the secret space at the end of the ship.
This is a triangular room of about 10 square meters. Although the area is not large, the ceiling is very high.
This is because the length of this room includes both a public cabin on the first floor and a paddle floor on the second floor.
On the floor deep in the room, Qin Zhibo found Kuroba Kaito.
At this time, Kuroba Kaito was still sleeping, with no rope tied around his body. It seemed that he had been in this state since last night.
"Hey, wake up..."
"Hello!"
Qin Zhibo called out twice first, and when there was no response, he patted Kuroba Kaito's handsome face.
Bang bang bang.
With a few powerful slaps, Kuroba Kaito successfully woke up.
The two looked at each other, and Kuroba Kaito suddenly shouted.
"dad!"
Hearing this sincere call, Qin Zhibo could only reluctantly nodded and answered.
"Why!"
Kuroba Kaito's face was slightly startled, and he stared at the man in front of him for a long time before he realized what he was doing.
"You took advantage of me!"
"Tch, do I still need to take advantage of you?"
Qin Zhibo looked away with disgust, "I thought you were thanking me for saving your life, so you expressed your gratitude in this way."
"Okay, I'm just being sentimental~"
Kuroba Kaito's eyes blinked several times, and his brain was instantly electrified, and then he remembered what happened before.
"It's a skeleton!"
"I remember encountering a huge group of skeletons! It was so scary!"
Kuroba Kaito shouted in horror, his hands shaking unconsciously.
Seeing this, Qin Zhibo quickly held his shoulders and comforted him with a calm tone.
"Quiet……"
"You saw that those skeleton monsters do exist, but they are gone now."
"We actually boarded a pirate ship..."
Qin Zhibo told Kuroba Kaito everything that had happened and the conclusions drawn from his analysis.
Seeing that Kuroba Kaito gradually understood and accepted these things, Qin Zhibo moved his body away, allowing him to see the moon beast corpse lying at the door.
The corpse looked like a skinned frog, and the surface of the skin had completely lost its slimy color.
Kuroba Kaito stood up slowly while holding on to the wall, and walked slowly to the body step by step.
Although he had seen ghouls before, and saw giant worms in the valley full of corpses eaten by ghouls.
But when he saw this mysterious creature again, he still felt extremely shocked and incredible.
In addition, there is the inevitable fear that humans face when facing unknown things.
Suddenly, Kuroba Kaito felt his stomach churn.
The form of this creature is almost non-humanoid, and the tentacles that Qin Zhibo cut off on the ground reminded him of creatures like "fish" inexplicably.
The short tentacles are fish whiskers, and the gray body is fish flesh...
"Yue——"
Kuroba Kaito turned his head to the side, facing the floor and retching.
Qin Zhibo patted his back comfortingly, really like a father.
In fact, the existence of each of these mythical creatures is far beyond human cognition, and their appearance is completely different from human aesthetics.
They are ugly, unclean, blasphemous, and should only appear in mankind's most horrific nightmares.
If Qin Zhibo hadn't possessed 90 points of iron will, he wouldn't have acted so calmly.
"OK OK……"
Qin Zhibo helped Kuroba Kaito up and pointed at the skeletons in the cabin in front.
"Look, those are the skeleton monsters you encountered."
"But now they have lost the support of power and have turned into real skeletons."
Kuroba Kaito once visited the ghouls' territory, the Tombs of Xin, so Qin Zhibo was not worried that these bones would make him "yue" again.
Kuroba Kaito looked at the bones, seemingly numb, and just nodded blankly.
Immediately, he turned to look at Qin Zhibo.
"Uncle, won't you be affected by these things?"
"Whether it's this time or last time, you were too calm..."
"Well..." Qin Zhibo groaned, "I guess I'm used to it."
Habit?
Kuroba Kaito's expression was stunned. Can he get used to this kind of thing?
If you get used to this kind of thing, you're probably not far away from becoming a lunatic, right?
Qin Zhibo smiled slightly and immediately imparted his experience.
"You need to practice more with this thing~"
“Just practice cooking more~”
"Uncle, I usually watch horror and fantasy movies, so naturally I'm not afraid of them now..."
"Believe me, you can be like uncle~"
Kuroba Kaito's expression was stunned again, and he didn't know what to say.
In the end, he could only give Qin Zhibo a thumbs up.
you are vicious!
…
There was a lively fight in the cabin on the second floor, but it did not affect the sleep of the passengers in the public cabin on the first floor.
In the darkness, Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito worked together to lift the floor door leading to the first floor and returned to the public cabin.
In the cabin, the two quickly woke up other passengers by making loud noises.
In the face of Qin Zhibo's language explanation and the irrefutable evidence of the second-layer paddle layer, the passengers quickly believed everything that happened here.
It seems that moon beasts are very notorious in the dreamland, and many passengers have heard of this race.
It’s just that no one has seen it or experienced it.
In other words, those who have actually experienced the moon beast incident have been abducted on the moon.
That's why the secrets on the black galleon can be maintained to this day.
However, as the truth was revealed, the emotions of the passengers were aroused, and complaints, curses, and fears were heard endlessly.
"Damn it! I didn't expect this ship to belong to the damn Moon Beast!"
"Why is this happening? I just want to do some business..."
"Then what should we do now? Will we starve to death on the sea?"
For a while, the situation became a little out of control.
Just then, a man in the crowd stood on the wooden box, holding a burning candle high in his hand.
"Quiet!"
Qin Zhibo yelled at the crowd, which made the crowd slowly quiet down.
"Now, everyone, listen to what I have to say."
"The biggest problem we are currently facing is not that the ship has lost power. After all, there are so many of us here, even without those skeletons, we can still row the ship to its destination."
"The biggest problems we face now are food and direction."
"I think everyone should have prepared the food at the right time when they arrive in the northern continent. Although they will prepare a few more days' worth, there shouldn't be much left now."
"At this point, we can collect all the food and supplies and distribute them uniformly, so that we can last as long as possible."
"Of course, it's useless to just hold on for a few more days. We still have to reach the mainland before the supplies are exhausted."
"Does anyone standing here know the direction?"
Qin Zhibo frowned and glanced at the dark crowd in front of him, praying in his heart that a miracle would happen.
In fact, even if the ship had no chance of escaping, he and Kuroba Kaito would not die.
No big deal, just delete the file and play again.
But in that case, we have to go back to the Enchanted Forest and start from scratch.
The adventure in Dreamland finally arrived here, and Qin Zhibo didn't want to give up so easily.
At this moment, an arm was raised from the crowd.
Qin Zhibo's eyes lit up and he quickly raised his finger and pointed over.
"you!"
Everyone also looked in the direction of Qin Zhibo's finger and made way for the man.
The man slowly walked out of the crowd.
Qin Zhibo took a closer look and realized that this person was Augustus Larkin, who he had been chatting with in the past two days.
In the dim cabin, his chocolate-colored skin exuded a dark luster.
"Do you know the direction of this ship?"
Larkin nodded, "I know, I have been paying attention to the sailing direction of this ship since I got on the ship."
"Actually, we have been heading towards the northern continent..."
