It was indeed a small fishing port. Fishermen from Endless Village had gathered here, and there were dozens of medium-sized fishing boats. However, these boats probably couldn't go deep into the sea, so we needed a bigger one!
When Ling Xue and the others arrived, an armored warrior walked over with a sword in his hand. His face looked like he had gone through a lot. He asked, "Young adventurers, why have you come to Endless Village?"
I said bluntly, "We are going to the center of the Endless Sea!"
"Oh?
The Sunken Sea? "
The NPC frowned and said, "That region of the sea is known as the Death Sea and the Oblivion Sea. Legend has it that millions of years ago, a Forbidden Spell similar to a Heavenly Tribulation, Oblivion, descended upon the continent, causing the sea to flood the land. The sea you are going to is the birthplace of human civilization, Atlantis …"
"Yes, we are going to Atlantis!"
The warrior nodded and pointed into the distance. "There is a large ship here that can go deep into the sea. It is on its way back. If you want to rent it, you will have to pay a million gold."
"A million?" Bing Cha covered his mouth in shock. "You might as well rob a bank!"
The NPC smiled bitterly. "There used to be 17 such ships in this port, but only one is left now. Do you know why?
This is because the ships that go to the Sunken Sea Region almost never return. "
I sucked in a deep breath and turned around. "I only have 740,000 gold on me. What about you guys?
Let's pool together a million gold. I didn't expect the cost to be so high … "
Ling Yue said cheerfully, "I have 220,000 gold!"
Ling Xue said, "Then I'll give 200,000 gold as well. Leave some money for the Scholar to buy potions."
Bing Cha and Qin Yun said in unison, "How can we let you guys pay for everything? We are participants after all …"
Ling Xue shook her head and smiled, "It's alright, we've all opened shops. We don't have much, but we do have a lot of gold coins. You should save your gold coins to buy potions!"
As a result, I paid 600,000 RMB, and Ling Xue and Ling Yue each paid 200k RMB. After we paid the fees, the ship approached us and the NPC warrior said, "I've bought three crew members for you. Please take care, young and brave. May the light of Queen Anne always protect you!"
…
Everyone boarded the ship one after another. The three sailors entered the control cabin while we entered the main cabin. The furnishings were very simple. After setting the course, the ship left the harbor and sailed into the deep blue sea.
The waves slapped against the hull of the ship, emitting a "pa pa" sound. It would take more than two hours to reach the Sunken Sea Region from here, so everyone chatted in the cabin.
Ling Yue said expectantly, "After entering Undersea City, will we be able to move as freely as on land?"
"Yes, logically speaking, we should. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to kill monsters at the bottom of the sea." I dispelled her worries.
Bing Cha said, "I have a feeling that this quest will definitely give out amazing equipment. It might even be Immortal-grade!"
Ling Xue laughed softly, "That should be the case. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to live up to the 5500 difficulty of the quest. Right, Scholar, what do you think the success rate of our party doing this quest is?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Originally, the success rate was infinitely close to 10%, but since Ling'Er advanced and has an Immortal-grade armor set, the success rate should increase by quite a bit. It should be around 25% to 40%..."
"Is it that low?" Qin Yun asked with a smile.
I took a deep breath, "In any case, we just have to be mentally prepared to be completely wiped out..."
Ling Yue couldn't help but smile, "This is fun. Life and death are on the line. If the equipment drops, it definitely won't disappoint us!"
"Yes, of course!"
… …
Two hours of waiting was a bit long. The girls were drowsily sitting on the small beds in the cabin and scrolling through the forums. I got up and went outside. When I walked to the deck, I discovered that the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. Seagulls were crying, and the blue waves were stretching for thousands of kilometers. It was a good day!
Thud!
I sat down on the railing as countless thoughts flashed through my mind. I had to be careful about this quest. If I didn't, everyone would probably lose levels and waste a lot of time and energy.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
A light breeze blew past, and a milky white robe appeared on the side of the ship. The beautiful female warrior sat on the edge of the deck, letting her two snow-white legs dangle in the air, swinging back and forth leisurely. It was a dazzling sight.
Who else could it be but Ling Xue? I smiled and said, "Be careful, don't fall down."
Ling Xue smiled sweetly and asked, "Will you save me if I fall down?"
"Of course, that's assuming there are no sharks down there."
"Hmph hmph!"
Ling Xue turned around and looked at me. Her white and smooth face was blown by the wind, and a strand of her hair danced behind her. Her beautiful face was breathtakingly beautiful. The milky white robe she had just changed into flapped in the wind, but it added a bit of heroism to her appearance.
Crack!
I stabbed my sword into the deck, and then pulled Ling Xue's robe and necklace around it. I smiled and said, "This way, even if you fall down, I can pull you back up..."
The little beauty burst into laughter and said, "This safety belt is so simple, and the safety factor is infinitely close to zero..."
"Hehe!"
I opened my hand and very naturally pulled Ling Xue into my embrace. The two of us leaned against each other and watched the ship cut through the waves and quickly sail into the deep sea.
Not long after, Ling Xue gently closed her eyes and leaned against my shoulder, a sweet smile on her face. One of her snow-white legs rested on the railing of the ship, and the glowing armor covered her enchanting figure. Her battle boots looked like lotus petals, and the pattern of the armor went up to her knees. This scene was indescribably beautiful.
"Ling Xue, wake up..."
"Yes, what's wrong?"
The little beauty giggled and said, "Sister and the others are all in the cabin. Don't tell me you want to kiss me now, absolutely not …"
"What are you thinking about? Something happened!"
"What, something happened?!" Ling Xue finally opened her beautiful eyes and looked at me in shock.
I pointed into the distance and said, "Look, there's a ship coming over there. It's not very big, but... why does that black flag look so obvious to me..."
Ling Xue put her fingers together to cover her eyes and looked into the distance, "Hmm?
What flag? I can't see it... "
"That's because I have Starry Eyes, so my field of vision is even wider!
Fuck!
That's... that's a pirate ship! "
I was almost certain that it was a pirate ship. The picture on the flag was too classic!
"This is bad!" Ling Xue also saw it. "The pirate ship is clearly coming for us!"
I immediately shouted in the party channel, "Ling Yue, Bing Cha, come to the deck. We have a little trouble..."
As I said this, I pulled out Soul Demise and pulled Ling Xue up. At the same time, I summoned my Blaze Warhorse. Although the deck wasn't wide enough, the Blaze Warhorse's long-range attack power and attack speed were still necessary even if we were to fight on the spot. The pirate ship clearly didn't come with good intentions!
A few minutes later, the girls all appeared on the deck. Chrysanthemum Daohana stood at the edge of the deck and said in surprise, "What should we do?
Do you want me to bombard the pirate ship with the Soul Star Shower for a while when they get close? "
"Yes, we can consider it!"
I waved my sword and a magic formation appeared, instantly summoning the Phantom Girl. Ling 'er stood at the side with a calm expression. It was obvious that she didn't put the pirate ship in her eyes at all. The current Ling' er finally had the appearance of a God Tier pet. This made me really happy.
Ling Yue waved her magic staff and summoned her pet, the Dark Dragon!
The Dark Dragon was now over Level 110. Its body was very large, almost equivalent to the entire deck. When it flapped its wings in the air, the airflow was no different from that of a helicopter.
Ling Xue's Wind Spirit Beast kept flying above its master's shoulder. However, Ling Xue and I just happened to be romantic and forgot about this little thing's existence.
Summer asked, "Should I summon the slug?"
The Frost Slime King should be even bigger now, right?
Once it's summoned, we'll all be squeezed into the sea.
Thus, I decisively shook my head, "Don't summon the slug on our ship. Summer, if you're confident, just summon the slug in the air and give the pirate ship a celestial bomb …"
Summer stuck out her tongue and said with a cute expression, "I'm not that good ~"
At this time, the pirate ship finally approached!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
Several streaks of black light flew over. They were actually hooks with ropes attached to them. "Pa Pa Pa!" The hooks were all nailed into the deck of our ship. Several pirates wearing leather armor were still pulling on the ropes with all their might. The heavily armored pirates at the back pulled out their longswords and spears, already prepared to attack.
I smiled, "Cut the ropes!"
Bing Cha and Ling Xue happily went over. The two girls swung their swords. Their Ghost Tier Swords and Heaven Tier Swords were enough to cut the ropes. After a few sounds, all the ropes were cut. However, the pirate ship still approached!
I took the opportunity to look at the enemy's level — —
[Sword-type Pirate] (Elite Monster)
Level: 150
Attack: 3400-4800
Defense: 4400
Health: 320000
Skills: [Eviscerate], [Plunder], [Greed Swordsmanship]
Bonus: The greedy humans of the Endless Sea are incomparably cruel. They often kidnap passing fishermen and sell the men as laborers. The young women are used as entertainment tools for the pirates...
I looked around. They were all Level 150 elite monsters. There was no boss. Like this, I felt relieved. Damn, I thought I'd run into some OP, but it turned out they were just a bunch of small fries.
And so, under my gaze, everyone, open fire!
"Pa!"
Ling Yue's [World of Ice and Snow] ravaged the pirate ship. The first group of pirates were immediately turned into ice lumps. Then, a faint Chrysanthemum Daohana's Soul Meteor Shower fell from the sky, creating a storm of ice and fire!
After the Dark Dragon roared, it flew above the pirate ship and spat out a large amount of dragon breath. This area of damage was terrifying. Almost every dragon breath could deal over 10000 damage. This Dark Dragon's damage had already surpassed Ling Yue's!
I raised Soul Demise with one hand and with a "Shua", I rushed out with an [Afterimage]. The afterimage suddenly collided with the edge of the pirate ship's deck. Immediately, like a cannonball, it exploded into countless pieces of wood, creating a large hole on the side of the ship!
In less than 10 seconds, the pirate ship was in imminent danger.
Ling Xue very kindly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Let me finish off these greedy pirates …"
After saying that, she swung her Flying Star Sword forward. It was the special skill of the Azure Dragon Ring — — [Azure Dragon Soars]!
"Roar!"
The enormous Azure Dragon soared in the sky and suddenly swooped down. In an instant, it swept across the entire pirate ship. This not very small ship was instantly torn to pieces. A large group of pirates were killed. Streaks of white light flew up, and at the same time, we received a lot of experience. My experience bar continuously flashed.
"Oh, it hurts … I want this pretty chick!"
A pirate stood on a broken wooden board and raised his dagger as he shouted at us.
Bing Cha smiled, "Ling Xue, this pirate is definitely talking about you!"
Ling Xue's face turned red, "No way, he's definitely talking about Sister Qin Yun. I … I don't count as a pretty girl, do I?"
Qin Yun pursed her lips and smiled, "If you don't count, who else can?"
"Pa!"
I had already taken out my Ice Fire Bow and shot a Tranquilizing Arrow, bringing out the effect of [Arrow Meteor]!
"Peng!"
The enormous Fire Arrow not only tore the pirate's body to pieces, but it also split apart the huge waves. It tore a long trail on the surface of the sea, all the way to the end.
Ling Xue giggled, "Hmph hmph, when the Scholar gets angry, the consequences will be dire!"
I said, "This pirate has a golden tooth. What a pity. If I wasn't afraid of not being able to catch up to the ship, I would have jumped down and pulled it out. If I brought it back to the general store in White Cloud City, I would definitely be able to sell it for a good price!"
"You …"
The girls looked at me with disdain. Seeing that there was only half an hour left before we reached our destination, we all stood on the deck together. A group of beautiful girls laughed and chatted merrily, adding a lot of fun to this otherwise boring voyage.
The good times didn't last long. About 20 minutes later, there was movement around the ship!
Ripples began to rise from the bottom of the water, and there were even lines of bubbles. It was as if there was something under the water, and what surprised me even more was that countless ripples were swimming over with long tails. It was obvious that there was something under the water!
The girls also noticed the movement, and all of them were extremely nervous. Ling Xue gripped her sword, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt, "What is it?"
Ling Yue gritted her teeth and said, "We've been ambushed!"
I said in a low voice, "It's not as simple as an ambush. We've been surrounded!"
Xia Zhi said nervously, "Then what should we do?
Our naval combat ability really isn't that great … "
I smiled and said, "So, everyone, prepare to fight under the sea. I didn't think that we would be entering Undersea City's territory before we could reach our destination!"
At this time, there was a splash of water in a radius of several kilometers —
"Pa pa pa …"
Countless strangely shaped heads popped out of the water. There were Murlocs covered in fish scales, Catfishmen with long roots, Dark Nagas with long spears, Giant Deep-Sea Turtles covered in red shells …
In short, we were surrounded by all kinds of seafood!
