Chapter 263: Bloodthirst Golden Fire
Hum! Hum! Hum!
In the sea, the giant Ghostship opened its eyes.
The next moment, the ship turned into the crew of the Ghostship, which consisted of hundreds of soul creatures.
They were all of different shapes and sizes, each one stranger than the next. Some of them were over 10m long, longer than the mammoths on Earth, and some were less than 30cm, smaller than a cat.
But now, with the sinister crying sound they made that could attack one’s mental power, they charged at Ji Ye.
“This is quite a surprise!”
Countless Ghostship crew charged at Ji Ye from all directions. Even the floor under his feet had turned into black circular creatures that looked like shackles.
Even Ji Ye couldn’t run away from so many creatures, and he was soon buried by hundreds of creatures that were giving off a green glow.
After that, the crew tore his body up, before he turned into bubbles, which then evaporated into white steam.
Yes, bubbles and white steam.
Obviously, Ji Ye himself didn’t enter the ship. Instead, it was a duplicate created by the Mirage Dragon Pearl and the Dragon Aura.
It was true. Ji Ye had made a breakthrough to Extraordinary Rank-8, and his capability had been greatly improved.
But there was obviously something wrong with this Ghostship. If the “secret” hidden inside was a Transcendent creature, even he wouldn’t be able to get away easily.
Therefore, he only sent in a Dragon Aura duplicate into the ship.
As for where the real Ji Ye was...
“So, there really is something wrong with the ship!”
Ruan Xiaoer had stayed about 40m or 50m away from the Ghostship, and his eyes widened when he saw the sudden change in the ship. Dozens of black soul creatures with green dots of light around them separated themselves from the ship and charged at him.
“Soul creatures? About time!”
All those ferocious-looking soul creatures didn’t intimidate Ruan Xiaoer at all. He only frowned.
He then raised his Tiger Shark Saber and struck it down at the Ghostship crew of different sizes and races.
“Roar!”
The shadow of a tiger-striped shark burst out of Ruan Xiaoer’s saber. But unlike before, the shark had a golden flame burning inside it!
It looked a lot like the layer of substance that looked like liquid metal on Ruan Xiaoer’s Tiger Shark Saber.
[Bloodthirst Fire]
[Level: Special]
[Rarity: Excellent]
[Description: It is a special type of fire that could burn underwater and uses the target’s blood as its fuel!]
It was the special object with Transcendent power that Ruan Xiaoer had obtained in the City of Humans through trade.
And it wasn’t the only difference. When Ruan Xiaoer waved his saber, something he wore around his arm that looked like a blue arm protector glowed. A shadow resembling an amplified shrimp-like creature then emerged in the water.
It was a reward dropped by the Extraordinary Rank-6 mantis shrimp he killed the other day.
It worked like an updated version of a mechanical exoskeleton arm, which enabled him to strike faster and exert more force.
In fact, “mantis shrimp” was only the creature’s informal name.
It looked more like the peacock mantis shrimp on Earth, and its great pincers had a terrifying explosive force.
The Snapping Dragon Turtle Ship had very thick hulls. Back then, even the Extraordinary Rank-6 Ji Ye couldn’t break it. However, the Extraordinary Rank-6 mantis shrimp almost cracked the ship open.
The Commander mantis shrimp dropped a pair of “Mantis Arm Protector”, which was split between Wu Song and Ruan Xiaoer. They were able to enhance their explosive force that was already very impressive.
Splash!
With one single strike, the golden flame dashed forward with the tiger-striped shark for nearly 50m. It then collided with the group of Ghostship crew charging at Ruan Xiaoer.
Boom!
The next second, the first dozen or so crew scattered and turned into black smoke at the impact.
Because the golden flame could burn in the water, it set seven or eight exposed green soul cores on fire, annihilating those Ghostship crew.
“Roar...”
However, there were simply too many creatures.
Moreover, the ones charging at Ruan Xiaoer had all reached the Extraordinary level, and even though Ruan Xiaoer had spared no effort with that strike, he couldn’t kill them all.
“Roar!”
However, the next moment, a white dragon flew out of the Ghostship, scattering the rest of the Ghostship creatures.
“Back!”
Ji Ye then retrieved the Dragon Aura. It had burnt through over half of its energy.
With a wave of his hand, he put away the pile of treasures, including the Mithrils, the Black Luminating Stone, etc., into his Void Ring.
The golden coral tree was the only thing he held in his hands, because the ring was almost full.
“Let’s take the battle to the shore!”
More Ghostship creatures were coming their way. The sea was packed with them, and their green light made them look like eerie fireflies.
Instead of fighting them off, Ji Ye told Ruan Xiaoer to retreat.
After making the breakthrough to Extraordinary Rank-8, Ji Ye could withstand Extraordinary Rank-9 monsters in the sea after he activated his Flood Dragon Blood.
But he wasn’t that arrogant, thinking that he could get rid of thousands of Extraordinary Ghostship creatures all by himself.
He had to lure the soul creatures to the shore and fight against them with other heroes and players.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
After robbing the Ghostship of its treasure and killing its crew, the two men promptly turned around and headed for the Twin Dragon Island, surrounded by their Flood Dragon and tiger-finned shark. The soul creatures chased them for a while before they made angry fluctuations. After some noise, they gathered together and transformed into a Ghostship again.
But it was observably smaller than before.
“So, they’re limited by the distance and can’t move too far away from the ship.”
Noticing this, Ji Ye seemed to have an idea.
...
“They really are soul creatures! We can follow the plan we made in advance!”
Ji Ye told the heroes and players of the Twin Dragon Island after he reached the shore.
After seeing the name “Ghostship” in the Monocular, the Twin Dragon Mount guessed that soul monsters could be involved, so they had already formed a plan.
During their last visit to the City of Humans, the Twin Dragon Mount had gathered quite a lot of objects that would be effective on soul creatures. With their enhanced strength, even the strange Ghostship couldn’t intimidate them!
