We Agreed To Set Sail and Become the Ruler of the Deep Sea? - #167 - Chapter 166: Harvest the loot [Diamond Star] (incomplete)

Chapter 166 Harvesting the Trophies—[Diamond Star] (Incomplete)

 At the same time as Ruel transformed into a Balrog.

 Other villagers on the boat also began to have red and black lines on their bodies, and flames emerged from them, flowing out like water.

 In an instant.

 They went from seemingly normal ordinary people to like demons from hell!

The fact that these villagers can survive in the extremely harsh environment of [Ice and Snow Island] is not due to luck.

 In their bodies, there is a special blood flowing, which is also the source of their strength.

It is with the help of this bloodline that the villagers of Ice and Snow Island can fight against the huge and ferocious sea beasts here.

As for the existence they call “Holy Lord”, its full name is “Holy Lord of Hell Fire”.

 His true form is a real Balrog!

At this time, faced with [Black Swan]’s all-out offensive, Ruhr and others had no choice but to use their bottom card in a desperate attempt to fight to the death.

 He took a deep breath.

Shocked and angry, Ruhr’s movements did not stop at all.

 Scorching power surged through the body like magma.

 Seeing the crew members appearing one after another, Ruel on the deck was shocked and angry.

Appearing with Fei Ya, there is also a tall knight rising into the air.

　　【王阳 singer】!

 What she used at this time was the ability exclusive to this secret profession.

In the blink of an eye, it expanded to a radius of three meters, trying to swallow Fei Ya inside.

Even through the armor, the villagers could feel the sharp, hawk-like gaze cast down from high places.

 This is the girl dressed as a man who walked into the village earlier.

 But it’s not over yet!

At this time, a melodious and beautiful song suddenly came from the sea.

To be honest, he thought that the three people that Xia En brought to the island were just useless vases, but now he realized that they all had special skills and were not ordinary people.

 But the next moment.

The [Black Swan] has been approaching the [Diamond Star] at an extremely fast speed.

 But for them who are currently burning, it is equivalent to a group debuff, which immediately makes them feel uncomfortable and their strength is greatly restricted.

　　Boom!

With the explosion of the steam core, a petite figure jumped up from the deck of the [Black Swan] and suddenly fell in front of the villagers.

 The terrifying lavender flames spread in all directions with the fireball as the center.

 The villagers felt that the surrounding air was gradually becoming humid, and the power of the sea was rolling in the air.

This kind of singing may not have much impact in normal times.

have to say.

He has the highest degree of atavism, and the energy level of the secret power in his body has even reached the third level!

 But that’s about it.

This singing voice comes from the girl with white hair and red eyes, which makes people instinctively feel a little ominous.

Judging from their appearance and momentum alone, the dozens of “Balrogs” on this deck are quite intimidating.

 Don’t forget, after Joey is promoted to the second level, he also gets a hidden profession——

Someone looked towards the deck of the Black Swan and soon saw…

 A figure as tall as a pine tree suddenly appeared in front of the fireball, and punched out without flinching!

Seeing this scene, Ruhr was not surprised but overjoyed.

The golden-red radiance flowed through Feiya’s eyes, looking majestic and sacred.

The exquisite facial features and unique temperament left a deep impression on the villagers.

 It’s like…they are completely treated as prey!

 Just the appearance of these two crew members caused the morale of the villagers, which had finally been raised, to weaken again.

 The auras of many villagers continue to rise, exceeding the strength of ordinary second-level Mystic Pathfinders.

White steam spurts out from this weird and precise steel creation, roaring and roaring like a beast, full of rough and violent beauty.

 The deflagration flames emitted high temperatures, causing the air to twist slightly.

On Fei Ya’s fists, there were two huge steam gloves.

 This distance can be easily crossed by ordinary secret travelers.

 It’s just that the appearance of “she” at this time is very different from before.

Mingled with the gentle sound of waves, it seems to be echoing directly in my mind.

 Among them, the most powerful one is naturally the village chief Ruel.

To be honest, among the people who entered the village, her beauty was the most coveted.

Scarlet eyes, red and black lines, and sharp horns growing from the top of their heads… make them look extremely ferocious and terrifying.

Immediately afterwards, he opened his mouth wide, and a huge fireball burst out, hitting the nearest Feiya on the deck.

This song sounds far and near, with magical and mysterious power.

 These “fire demon” villagers did not even dare to look at him.

The fireballs he spits out are not ordinary flames, but contain the gift of the great flame demon [Sacred Lord of Hell Fire].

Although nothing can be ignited like the flames that caused them to burn themselves to death, if ordinary creatures are contaminated, it will spread to the whole body in an instant.

Even the soul can be burned!

The other party dared to touch his own flame so recklessly, and he was undoubtedly seeking death.

　　Boom!

 At this moment, a terrible strong wind swept violently.

The huge, lavender fireball was broken like a fragile balloon, and the scattered flames were blown away by the strong wind, roaring and escaping in all directions.

Xia En’s figure emerged from it.

However, there was indeed some flame left on his arm.

But before Ruel could show his joy, something unbelievable happened.

 I saw that Xia En’s body surface suddenly lit up with dark red lines.

The chaotic lines are like a big mouth, quickly tearing apart the remaining purple flames, chewing and swallowing them.

 Just a moment’s work.

The flames completely disappeared, and the dark red magic lines became deeper and darker, as if they were breathing.

  Ruhl even saw greed and unfulfilled emotions in the changes in these lines.

 As if to say—

 “It’s not enough, I want more!”

“…How can it be?”

Ruel’s red eyes widened and he sensed a familiar aura from those magic patterns.

“The smell of embers…Why do you have the power of [Fire Stealer]?”

Hearing this, Xia En was a little surprised.

This village chief, who is suspected to be a descendant of the Balrog, can actually recognize the [Secret Power of Ember]?

 Furthermore, [Fire Stealer] again?

Of course, what made Xia En even more curious was actually this specious and dilapidated [Diamond Star].

But as the battle was still ongoing, Xia En would not be distracted and think too much. Instead, he strode straight towards Ruhr.

 After the hull was upgraded again, its attributes once again experienced a surge.

 Especially the [Sturdiness] attribute corresponding to “Defense” and “Physique”.

 An invisible force was flowing under the skin. Even without the existence of [Chaos Demon Pattern], Ruhl’s flames would be extremely difficult to break through his defense.

As soon as he entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat, Ruhr immediately felt a mountain of terrifying pressure.

 Even after being transformed into a Balrog, the village chief’s size and strength have increased dramatically.

 But in the face of Xia En’s overall quality of 1.75, he is like a child who has not yet grown up, facing a strong and strong man.

 Nearly every time he was attacked, Ruhr felt a dull pain in his muscles and even the bones under his skin.

Every time he attacked, it was like hitting a hard iron pillar, which made him almost vomit blood.

 “What is this guy’s body made of?”

 “Why is it so hard?”

 The more the battle, the more frightened Ruhr became.

Not only the physical quality, but also the fire of the Balrog, which he had placed great hope in, could not cause the slightest harm to Xia En. Even more, the more they fight, the clearer the dark red lines on this man’s body become, as if he is constantly drawing strength from his body.

  Ruhl also noticed that—

Until now, the opponent has not attacked with all his strength, but has hidden some means to suppress the situation, waiting for him to take the lead.

 While the two were entangled.

Feiya, An, and Joey are all using their own methods to eliminate the resisting villagers on the boat.

In fact, before the Black Swan approaches, Shane can use the ship’s artillery to carry out a devastating blow to them.

 The main reason why I didn’t do this was still the [Diamond Star]!

Although it was very different from the ghost ship that Xia En knew, since he happened to meet it, Xia En naturally regarded it as his trophy.

It couldn’t bear to use artillery fire to leave new scars on its already scarred body.

 Then they chose to use a boarding battle to end the battle.

 To be fair.

The ice and snow island villagers are not weak in strength.

The blessing of the power of the Balrog and the fierce folk customs have made them the top of the island’s food chain.

But the problem is that this ice and snow island is really too remote and too backward.

Not to mention the most advanced steam technology used by Feiya, even An’s precious armor from ancient times was far beyond their understanding.

 Not to mention the different secret abilities of Joey and others.

If you are a pirate on the Seven Seas, even if you have not seen this unique ability in person, you have at least heard of similar skills and legends, and you may know some ways to deal with it.

And these villagers are truly indigenous, and they have been isolated from the outside world for decades.

Even the weapons in his hands, made by the best craftsmen in the village, are just ordinary swords. What can they use against Fei Ya and others?

At this time, the battle between them and the people of [Black Swan] felt quite like the era of cold weapons and the era of hot weapons.

 Less than five minutes.

 The villagers suffered a large number of casualties.

 After seeing Gray being captured by Feiya, the village chief Ruel finally sighed and gave up the resistance.

 …

 …

 It didn’t take long.

The remaining seven or eight villagers were all tightly **** with ropes that had forbidden demonic qualities.

And the first thing Xia En asked was not why Ruer wanted to harm him, nor the origin of the flame demon’s bloodline, but…

 “What is this ship called? Where did it come from?”

 Ruer was slightly startled.

 In his opinion, the [Black Swan] is far more powerful than this broken ship. Why are you so concerned about it?

 But as a prisoner, he could only answer honestly.

“This is a ship passed down from our ancestors, named [Diamond Star].”

“It is said that my grandfather’s grandfather found this in an iceberg floating on the sea.”

Hearing this, Xia En’s heart skipped a beat.

 He indeed did not admit his mistake, this ship is the “Diamond Star”!

 But the question is, how come there are two ships with the same name and almost the same appearance?

Moreover, the [Diamond Star] he saw before was a real ghost ship.

As for the current ship, although the hull is a little bigger, the sides are a little higher, and the guns are a little more powerful, from all angles, it can only be called “ordinary”.

There is no shocking feeling at all when we first met him.

 “By the way, the ship spirit…”

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xia En’s mind. He touched the mast next to him and used the talent of [Communication with Ship Soul], secretly thinking in his heart.

 “Senior?”

“Are you there?”

 “Do you recognize me?”

It’s a pity that all these probing inquiries seemed to be lost in the sea and did not receive any response.

 Then, Xia En asked in the bottom of his heart.

 “Xiao Hei, have you sensed the soul of this ship?”

【No. 】

There was also some confusion in Xiao Hei’s voice: [Although this ship is very similar to Sister Xingchen, it seems to be a little different, like…an empty shell? 】

 Xiao Hei’s idea coincides with Xia En’s.

In his perception, this ship does not simply have no ship soul, but even the budding and sleeping consciousness does not exist.

 The inside is like a piece of pure white paper, not stained with any color.

 “Wait, empty shell…”

 Xia En was thoughtful.

 He suddenly remembered why this situation seemed familiar to him.

 During the promotion ritual, he had actually encountered such a ship more than once.

That is…

 Above the [Secret Sea], the [Black Swan] was projected and copied!

 Almost the same appearance, an empty shell without a soul…Don’t all these pieces of information correspond to each other?

 Why do such projection ships appear in this world?

 Why did [Diamond Star] become a ghost ship?

 The questions in Xia En’s mind not only did not decrease, but became more and more.

At this moment, Joey’s surprised voice came from the cabin.

 “Mr. Captain, come and see!”

While subduing these prisoners, Shane also asked Joey and Feiya to explore the depths of the Diamond Star.

Now, it seems that Joey has discovered something.

Shaan first walked up to Ruel and knocked the old man unconscious. Then he asked An to guard the deck while he followed the direction of the sound and walked deeper into the cabin.

As soon as he stepped down the two-story cabin, he discovered that the structure here was not quite right.

 The surrounding cabins and corridors are extremely spacious, and the gaps between the walls are surprisingly large.

Looking at the room next to me, the wooden boards were very thin and the floor was distorted to a certain extent.

 It feels like…

 During the process of copying and pasting, some information was lost, resulting in biased results.

The internal structure of the entire hull has an indescribable awkwardness that makes people instinctively uncomfortable.

 Not long.

Shaan met Fei Ya in the cabin who also heard Joey’s voice.

 “The inside of this ship is very strange…”

Fei Ya murmured: “It doesn’t look like a normally manufactured ship.”

Shaan nodded: “I think so too.”

“Speaking of which, do you feel that there seems to be a special secret power here?”

Fei Ya looked thoughtful: “Yes, there is a point, and the deeper you go, the stronger this secret power becomes.”

The two looked at each other, quickened their pace, and walked deeper into the dark cabin.

Going down a sloping, downward staircase, they reached the place where Joey made the sound, and couldn’t help but feel their breath hitch.

Here, a kind of dark and clear sea water is accumulating at the bottom of the cabin.

Little bits of faint starlight shine from the depths of the sea, showing a starry sky-like temperament.

Shane will never admit his mistake.

This is…

 The sea water from the [Secret Sea]!
