The Whispering Verses Chapter 329: Sailors’ Duel
After preparing the casting materials in advance, Shade and Miss Princes continued to move forward.
As the terrifying green light became clearer and clearer, the end of the stairs finally appeared below. There are no rooms at all in the cabin on the next floor. Most of the entire floor here is open. It was probably the place where the ship was originally used to store goods and have fun.
Rotting wooden boxes and sacks piled around, revealing the gold and jewelry inside. Pearls, human bones and various gemstones were scattered on the ground, gorgeous and evil. The skulls hanging from the ship's plank above the head swayed back and forth as the ship rocked. The green light in the skulls illuminated the place, and the human skeleton was standing beside the wall wearing gorgeous armor.
The air in this cabin is more humid. In the middle of the cabin, which is covered with jewelry and mud, is a long table wrapped with water plants.
The ghostly green pirate undead are gathering around the table, playing cards, or drinking and having fun. Even if they have turned into undead, their physical deformities still exist. Although most of them look humanoid, the features of various strange sea creatures seem to be rigidly sewn onto their limbs, most of which are fish.
Corresponding to this horrific scene, the tableware placed on the table actually contained food acceptable to normal humans. The fragrant roast chicken was placed whole on the dinner plate, surrounded by green vegetables; purple grapes were placed whole bunches in silver basins, reflecting a strange luster under the firelight of the skull; spices were sprinkled Steam floated on the fragrant fish soup, the fish head was exposed from the pure gold soup bowl, and the fish eyes seemed to be looking at Shade and Miss Princes who appeared at the top of the stairs.
While the two figures were illuminated by the firelight from the skull hanging above, all the undead sailors in the cabin turned to look at it. Probably because he did not expect that human beings would have strange phenomena with cracks everywhere, Shade clearly felt the surprise of the souls.
But they did not rush over in a swarm and try to tear Shade and Miss Princes apart. Instead, they remained strangely calm.
Silence fell, and the swaying head lamps caused strange lights and shadows to flash alternately at the stairs. Only the sound of the fish in the soup bowl wagging its tail occasionally appeared. The fishy smell of fish, the moisture of the ocean, the rotting smell of corpses, the musty smell of wood, etc. all mixed together and rushed towards Shade, but instead made him swallow. Drool, then get hungrier.
He didn't smell the delicious food on the captain's table, but just by taking a look, his already strong appetite was amplified again.
Dong dong dong~
What broke the silence was the sound of fingers tapping on the table. Shade looked up and found the only person who seemed to be alive among the evil spirits staring at him.
It was a middle-aged bearded man about forty years old, wearing a gorgeous dark blue dress, with more than ten medals of different styles hanging on his chest. The cuffs were rolled up and both hands were placed on the table, but the little finger on the right hand seemed to be missing. The other nine fingers were covered with gold rings. Wearing a black three-cornered hat on his head, a skull is embroidered with white thread in the center of the hat.
He clearly had the face of a human male, but that face showed an ugliness that Shade had never seen before. The entire clothed upper body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of mucous membrane, but it also looked like a layer of transparent scales.
This was probably the captain of the [Fishbone Pirate Ship]. He squinted at Shade and deliberately tapped the table with his fingers unusually hard. If the first three blows were to draw the attention of everything here to him, then the subsequent dozen or so violent blows were definitely meant to shock Shade.
Xia De, who was just so hungry that he wanted to feel full from the air, didn't care at all why the other person was knocking on the table. The hollow feeling in his stomach made him feel that even if a steamed elephant was placed in front of him, he would definitely be able to eat it.
He just felt that although the middle-aged man knocking on the table had a fierce look on his face, he was really ridiculous. Attempting to intimidate by such means is just a ridiculous expression of crude people's respect for raw power.
"You two people came together? You are the seventh and eighth people to come to me in the past hundred years."
He finally spoke. His cloudy but particularly energetic eyes were like protruding fish eyes. He looked at Shade with the faint green light, and then the finger with the ring slammed on the table again:
"Man, would you like to get on the boat?"
"Unwilling."
Shad immediately shook his head. He stood in front of Miss Princes and carefully looked at the evil spirits in the cabin. Just as he expected, after arriving at the lowest cabin, the sorceress's power was weakened to a greater extent due to the existence of the evil god's power.
"Don't want to? Okay, the rules of the sea are that if you want to stay here and talk to me, you have to defeat one person. You can go together, whoever wins can do it."
The hoarse voice was extremely ferocious, and the captain had a cruel expression on his face. After speaking, he pointed to his left side.
The tall one-eyed pirate stood up with one leg on the stool and arm wrestling with his companion. The evil spirit is about the same height as Shade, but his arms are as thick as Shade's thighs.
"Bah~"
It spat unceremoniously at the side, stretched its right hand to its waist, and then pulled out a scimitar embedded with rubies from somewhere.
That is not an appendage of the soul, but a real scimitar. With the emergence of weapons, the souls that could barely retain their consciousness completely turned into evil spirits. The miserable green light around him bloomed, making it rush toward Shade like a ball of light.
The appearance of evil spirits not only brought mental pressure and a dark wind that seemed to pierce the soul, but Shade, who had a sensitive soul, saw more things in the green light, and saw countless mermaids as big as ants in the thousand wounds. A hundred holes of soul swimming inside.
"Silver Moon!"
The fingers pointed forward, but this pair of evil spirits had almost absolute suppressive power, but this time they only bloomed with light like grains of rice.
"Oops, the cabin is suppressing Silver Moon."
Without any time to think, Xia De, who was already lagging behind, waved his right hand forward. The holy silver two-handed sword appeared in his hand, and the scimitar in Sailor Evil Spirit's hand also struck.
锵~
The two collided, and the blade in Shade's hand immediately shattered. He himself took two steps back and was supported by Miss Princes standing at the hatch, so that he would not fall directly to the last level. on the steps.
"The opponent is much stronger than me, but he does not have an absolute advantage!"
Swept by the dark wind, the evil spirit roared and came towards Shade again, but at this moment, a moonlight sword appeared in the void in front of him again.
"The Blade of Disrupted Time!"
At the same time, Shade disappeared from where he was and appeared behind the evil spirit. While the opponent wielded his scimitar to smash the big sword in front of him, Shade behind him stabbed out with the sword in both hands, accurately piercing the evil spirit's body from behind.
With a strong stir, the sword exuding the holy silver light made a big hole in the evil spirit's body. But the evil spirit did not dissipate. On the contrary, a swarm of ant-like mermaids swimming in the miserable green light quickly repaired the wounds on the body.
"This is not a simple evil spirit!"
The scimitar swung back, and Shade was forced to abandon the weapon and retreat. But this time the brutal sailor did not continue the pursuit, and the damage Shade had done was not without effect.
The onlookers' evil sailor spirits booed, and the noisy sounds made Shade's fight with the sailors seem like a game to please them.
Shad placed his feet firmly on the floor and narrowed his eyes to look at his opponent. Although he has very little experience in fighting enemies alone, he can roughly estimate that his opponent this time is basically equivalent to a third-level magician holding a relic, or a fourth-level warlock.
Of course, if he were not immune to the mental influence of this special evil spirit, the opponent could even be regarded as a mid-level warlock around the seventh level.
【What are you going to do? 】
She whispered softly in her ear.
"It's very simple, Her Royal Highness the Princess acted very similar to her."
Dangdangdang~
The captain tapped his fingers vigorously on the table again, urging the two not to stop.
The continuous sound has the effect of stimulating violent emotions. The nine rings on the captain's hand are not just beautiful to look at.
Hearing the captain's urging, the evil spirit holding a scimitar, in the miserable green light, skillfully used the scimitar to strike Shade in front of him with one knife.
Shad narrowed his eyes and did not wave his sword again to block the incoming sword, because at the next moment, an arrow with natural colors penetrated the head of the evil sailor from behind.
Beside Miss Princes, who had not participated in the battle at all, the archers slowly disappeared. The evil spirit with a big hole in its head turned around and was about to pounce on the young girl, but Shade had already pounced forward, and his fingers pierced the crack in the evil spirit's head.
The spirit body was originally unable to be directly contacted, but due to the magic of [Soul Echo], his hand touched the inside of the evil spirit's head. Then, a faint moonlight the size of a grain of rice lit up at the fingertips. Just this faint light actually melted the head of the sailor evil spirit, and its effect was even greater than the sword just now.
As the evil spirit's head melted, Shade's hands continued to grab its body. But at this moment, the pirate captain sitting at the long table suddenly spoke:
"Wait!"
He squinted his eyes and looked at Shade. Shade hesitated for a moment, saw Miss Princes shaking her head slightly, and asked:
"Do I win?"
"You win."
"Okay."
He let go of his hand, and the sailor who was left with only his body immediately dispersed into a cold black mist and disappeared. As the black mist exploded, it appeared next to the table again, the head on its shoulders slowly recovering. When the mouth appeared, he immediately pouted to the side, obviously very unwilling to accept his failure.
Seeing the two weak humans using such "despicable" means to win, the sailors at the table became vaguely restless.
But Shade didn't care. The captain was restraining the evil spirits, and the ship had to follow rules. It hunts souls for the evil god, but the evil **** is restricted by the righteous god. No existence can act arbitrarily in the material world. Even if it is hunting, it must abide by the rules.
