Chapter 292 [Ghost Ship] [Liuli Island]
Xia En didn't wait to digest the scene before him.
On the panel, several lines of information washed past like a waterfall.
[The obsession of "Diamond Star" is eliminated! 】
[The status of "Diamond Star" has changed from incomplete to complete! Attributes are improved in all aspects! 】
[The ship spirit of "Diamond Star" recognizes you as its master! 】
[Comprehensive quality: 12 → 17! 】
["Diamond Star" Unlocked Features: Ghost Ship! 】
[Quality: Legend]
[Description: The "Diamond Star" resurrected from destruction, returned from the mysterious sea, and became a ghost wandering the ocean. 】
[Can enter the "ghost ship" state, which greatly increases the speed, is immune to most physical attacks, greatly increases the resistance of various attributes, and greatly increases the durability recovery speed. 】
…
["Diamond Star" Unlocked Features: Reflection in the Mirror! 】
[Quality: Epic]
[Description: The "Diamond Star" expresses its surrender to you, but it does not want to show its face on the sea. 】
[It is willing to hide in the reflection of the "Black Swan" to protect you. 】
[When it is in the reflection state, the attributes of the "Black Swan" are moderately enhanced, and the existence of the "Diamond Star" cannot be detected by conventional means. 】
…
…
at the same time.
Xia En could feel very clearly that a huge secret power was pouring into his body, constantly transforming his limbs and bones, filling every strand of flesh and blood.
It's exactly the effect of [Captain's Majesty].
As the status of the [Diamond Star] changed from "incomplete" to "complete", the attributes of this large ship once again underwent earth-shaking changes.
Before this, although the various numerical values of the [Diamond Star] were also very powerful, they were still far behind the "Noah's Ark" that Shane expected.
It was not until this time that the two ships merged into one, and after making up for the crucial flaws, they achieved a completely new transformation.
Under [Captain's Majesty]'s feedback, Xia En's overall quality soared directly from 12 to 17!
You know, the fifth-level promotion ritual only brought him an improvement from 9.5 to 12.
——Although that is because the fifth-level ritual pays more attention to the mastery of secret power and the tempering of spiritual will, it is enough to show that the transformation of [Diamond Star] is exaggerated.
This really gave Xia En a big surprise.
"call……"
Xia En took a deep breath and used his powerful mental power to control the secret power in his body to calm down.
At the same time, his whole body trembled at a strange frequency - this was a special physical training method that could help Shane quickly adapt to his stronger body.
It is only with his current mental strength and meticulous control that he can do this.
While digesting this power, Xia En's eyes fell on the two newly unlocked characteristics of [Diamond Star].
[Ghost Ship] This feature needs no further explanation, just one word——
powerful!
Pure power!
Shane had seen the ghost fire around the Diamond Star before and thought it was some kind of illusion or flashy special effects.
But now it seems that the flame contains some unique secret power, and the reason for its formation is also extremely unique.
The flame is generated by the reaction of the three secret powers of the Lord of Radiance, Mist, and [Secret Sea]. No wonder it has so many strange effects.
Moreover, there is another feature of [Ghost Ship] that makes Xia En particularly satisfied.
Cool!
Just imagine, when other ships besieged the Black Swan, suddenly a ghost ship with will-o'-the-wisps came menacingly, scaring the courage of many people.
The ridiculous idea that Shane once fantasized about "driving a ghost ship on the sea" seems to have come true now?
However, after seeing the description of the feature [Mirror Reflection], Xia En couldn't help but have a strange expression.
What does it mean not to show one's face on the sea?
[Diamond Star] actually has such a little temper?
Just thinking about it seriously, Xia En felt a little excusable.
Due to the legend of the "Diamond Star" ghost ship, its past deeds have not been forgotten by ships on the Seven Seas, but are often mentioned on their own initiative.
To sailors and captains at sea, it is just casual conversation.
But for the [Diamond Star], it was a bloody scar.
It doesn't want to show up at sea, probably because it doesn't want others to point fingers at it, so it chooses to hide in the reflection of the [Black Swan].
Thinking of this, [Diamond Star] made Xia En feel more like a landmine girl with a gloomy personality.
"The ship spirits of different ships indeed have different personalities..."
Shane grinned and gently touched the mast next to him.
But whether it's the Vitality Girl or the Mine Girl, they are all his ships, and Xia En likes them all.
While stroking the mast, Xia En used his talent of "Communicating Ship Souls" and whispered to the "Diamond Star".
"Now, you are mine."
"It's a pleasure to be with you on the rest of the journey."
【……Um. 】
After a slightly long wait, Xia En heard a response from the ship spirit of the Diamond Star.
And, even so, its consciousness is only fleeting, and it hides immediately after responding.
Xia En felt like a little black cat with fried fur, hiding in the corner and watching him warily.
So strong on guard...
Shayne felt more and more strange, but thinking of the experience of Diamond Star, he felt a little pity in his heart.
Moreover, at the moment of consciousness contact, Shane also sensed a little hidden intimacy from its guarded appearance.
So, Shane simply talked naggingly.
"We will be close partners in the future, no need to be so polite, and no need to be afraid of me."
"Will I hurt you again?"
"By the way, the name Diamond Star is too difficult to pronounce, why not call you... Little Diamond? Little Stone? Little Diamond?"
The Diamond Star, which had been silent before, finally couldn't hold it back when he heard this, and whispered in a very low voice.
[So... ugly...]
[Change...]
Its way of expressing coldness is still clumsy, not as natural and smooth as the Black Swan.
Shane's mouth curled, and he guessed that Diamond Star would react, and then said the nickname he had thought of long ago.
"Xiaoxing! That's a good name!"
"Our future journey is to the sea of stars!"
[Diamond Star] obviously thought that this name was not very good, but it was better than those messy names, so it could only accept it with some regret.
After that, Xiaoxing's consciousness hid again, and no matter what Shane said, he would not respond.
Shane was not in a hurry about this.
It would certainly take more than a day or two to deepen the relationship and change Xiaoxing's character.
Fortunately, they still have a lot of time to get along in the future.
Soon, Shane moved his mind and left the [Diamond Star] hidden in the reflection and returned to the deck of the [Black Swan].
Joey was of course standing beside him safely.
"Captain Shane!"
"Captain, what happened just now?"
As soon as the two appeared on the deck, Feiya and Tracy immediately surrounded them, their faces full of concern.
An, wearing heavy armor, also stepped forward, and Shane seemed to be able to see the worry in his eyes through the armor.
Even Vivian, who was always lazy like a salted fish, floated out and blinked curiously.
No wonder the crew was so worried.
The scene that just happened was too thrilling.
The two [Diamond Star] charged without reservation, the ghostly fire soaring into the sky, the raging waves on the sea...
Seeing the heroic scene, even if the crew had confidence in Shane, they couldn't help but doubt that he would be crushed to pieces in such a collision.
And what happened afterwards surprised them even more.
Two large ships with similar appearances and different temperaments merged into one after the collision.
Shane and Joey disappeared.
If Feiya hadn't calmly persuaded others, the crew might have boarded the ghost ship.
Fortunately, the captain appeared again intact at this time.
Moreover, in Feiya's keen perception, the captain's breath seemed to have become much stronger?
Instead, the huge [Diamond Star] suddenly disappeared?
I can only say that he is worthy of being Captain Shane!
Feiya sighed in his heart.
He has not forgotten the first time he met Shane in the bar.
At that time, he had not yet overcome the hidden dangers of the blood of the vampires, and was forced to drink alcohol to relieve his desire for blood. The two of them could be said to have known each other without fighting.
However, at that time, Feiya's strength was still slightly better than Shane.
But now, his rank is still at the third level, while Captain Shane is already a fifth-level strongman, and most likely not an ordinary fifth-level!
This cannot be blamed on Feiya. According to the standards of ordinary secret pathers, he has been promoted very quickly.
But the sublimated blood of the vampires is, after all, the blood of the immortal species, and the improvement of strength depends on the accumulation of time.
Another point is...
Shane's promotion speed is too fast!
It is simply the kind that has never been seen before and will never be seen again. It is estimated that there will be no second one in the entire Seven Seas.
If Feiya says that he has no regrets in his heart, he must be lying, but his mentality is very peaceful.
On the one hand, as a steam engineer and priest, Feiya didn't like fighting.
Dealing with the steam equipment on the ship every day made him feel very fulfilled.
On the other hand, he still had a long life, and maybe one day in the future, he could have another good fight with Captain Shane.
Shane didn't know what Feiya was thinking, but just said to everyone: "I'm fine."
"However, how long has it been since we boarded the Diamond Star?"
Feiya replied: "It should be less than five minutes."
Shaen sighed secretly: "Not even five minutes..."
He just felt that the experience in the obsession space was extremely long, but the time in reality was very short.
No wonder all the pirates who boarded the ghost ship disappeared.
They probably didn't know how many times they had experienced "resets" in the obsession space, and finally got completely lost in it.
To be honest.
This time boarding the ship was also an extremely dangerous one among Shane's many adventures.
If Joey hadn't happened to be by his side, he might have really fallen into the trap of the Undertaker.
I can only say that Shane was lucky.
Fortunately, the harvest of this adventure was also very rich.
Not only did his overall quality improve, but more importantly, a conversation with Edward made Shane understand some secrets of the past and even the inside story of the Truth Society.
The unknown is the most terrifying.
At this moment, the mysterious veil of the Truth Society has finally been unveiled by Shane.
And...
Shae turned his head and glanced at Joey beside him.
The silver-haired girl's eyes were slightly red, but her emotions had stabilized, and she felt relieved.
Obviously, meeting Edward helped Joey to resolve some of her past knots and gave her a longer-term goal.
This is undoubtedly a great thing.
"Captain?"
Joey looked at Shane in confusion at first, and then suddenly smiled cunningly, like a blooming flower, bright and moving.
"My father said that he was very relieved to leave me to the captain..."
Shae couldn't help blushing, and didn't know what to say.
However, Joey didn't make it difficult for Shane, and asked quickly.
"Captain, where are we going next?"
Shae looked into the depths of the fog.
All he saw was white fog, as if the whole world had disappeared at the other end of the fog, and no place farther could be seen.
Although he learned from Edward that this [Misty Sea] has a big secret that can shake the world.
But the most urgent task now is the impending flood.
If the world is submerged, no matter how big the secret is, it will be meaningless.
Xia En had to temporarily suppress the idea of continuing to explore and said, "Let's go!"
"Target... [Liuli Island]!"
...
...
Five days later.
Near the sea where [Liuli Island] is located.
Five large ships quietly sailed out of the port and gathered in an area dozens of nautical miles away from [Liuli Island].
These ships have different flags and different family emblems.
The same thing is that their colors are often red and black.
Among the crew members on the deck, there are often a few pale and handsome people.
If someone with sensitive senses stays near these ships, he may smell an extremely strong smell of blood.
Splash!
Accompanied by the sound of splashing water.
A girl's body, who had just lost her life not long ago, was thrown into the sea by an expressionless sailor.
Strangely, no blood oozed out of the body after it entered the water.
The girl's skin looked even paler and drier in the waves.
In less than a moment, the body tied with heavy objects sank into the sea.
"Hey, this blood food was sucked so clean, I'm afraid even ordinary alien sea beasts would not eat it?"
Another sailor smiled and complained to his companion who threw the body: "This girl is pretty, it would be better if she could make me feel good first."
The expressionless companion said coldly: "Captain Simon only absorbs the blood of virgins."
"So picky!"
The sailor complained: "We can't even drink the blood of ordinary people!"
"But speaking of it, what exactly does Captain Simon want to do this time?"
