Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Chapter 603 Ghost Ship

By the way, which pirate is so blind as to dare to rob this ship?

With his super long-range vision expertise, he could clearly see that there was a small pirate fleet of three ships on the opposite side, flying a black pirate flag with lightning and a skull painted on it.

Lightning, skeletons...it looks a bit like the pirate group that General Raiden belongs to.

At this time, Robinson discussed with Smith Hall beside him, stood up, and said in a deep voice:

"There are only three ships on the other side. We should be able to deal with them without any difficulty."

Robinson glanced at Zhou Ning and did not let him take action. Instead, he directed the sailors to approach the ship in front, slowly aligned the muzzle of the gun towards the enemy, and opened fire first.

"The style of the Church of the God of War is indeed very fierce. They just go straight for it..." Zhou Ning thought to himself.

Richie Burke came to his side, raised the telescope and looked for a while and said:

“The Lightning Wolf Pirates are affiliated with General Thunder’s forces.

"The captain is 'One-Eyed Werewolf' Dylan, with a bounty of 4000 Victars, and the first mate is 'Harpoon' Haley, with a bounty of 1500 Victars. They're a ragtag bunch."

That adds up to 5500 Vekta, a lot of money! Could this actually be the luck that hasn't worn off yet?

Considering the need to maintain his idol demeanor in front of the players, Zhou Ning nodded with a calm expression, watching the Thorn gradually approaching the three ships in front, hesitating whether to take the initiative and get the bounty.

But the strange thing was that until the ship approached within forty yards, no one from the other side came out to resist. There was not a single person within his perception range.

It was as if there were only empty ships in front.

Could it be that the three ships in front are the legendary ghost ships?

A ghost ship, also known as a ghost ship, refers to a ship that mysteriously disappeared or sank into the sea many years ago and was found sailing on the sea many years later with no one on board.

In the game "Apocalypse", there are such things as ghost ships. The most famous ghost ship is the "Shepherd" treasure ship of Revendreth six hundred years ago. At that time, they were transporting a batch of treasures to the Elf Kingdom, but they were lost in the sea. Forty years later, people encountered the "Shepherd" on the sea one after another.

Among the Northern Pirates, some powerful ones also have ghost ships as their flagships.

Zhou Ning thought for a moment and immediately made a decision.

He opened the mission editor and quickly wrote an exploration mission, which he assigned to Shuidi Shenxing and the other two, with each person exploring one ship.

[Explore Ships]: The three ships ahead are likely to be legendary ghost ships. Explore the ships blocking your way as much as possible. Regardless of success or failure, you will receive generous rewards.]

The three of them looked at each other:??????

They looked at the quest contents in disbelief. It was Alex's first time doing Zhou Ning's quest, which had the player exploring the ghost ship alone. Could this also be a side quest to the door-opening quest? Could it be so epic?

"Go ahead, I'm rooting for you." Zhou Ning gave them a gentle smile.

"Never mind, just take it! Others can't get it even if they beg for it!" Shuidi Chenxing and the other two gritted their teeth and took the task. The reward for this task was super generous, and it would be worth it even if they died a few times.

At this time, Robinson also noticed the problems with the three ships in front, and hurriedly wanted to stop them, but was stopped by Smith Hall. He knew that the Chosen One had the ability to resurrect infinitely.

According to the task, each of the three people chose a ship and walked carefully onto the opposite deck.

As far as he could see, there was no one on the deck. Shuidi Chenxing felt a little uneasy and walked down to the cabin with light steps. The ship was in good condition and the cabin was full of looted goods. There were nautical charts and instruments on the table in the captain's cabin, and it seemed that someone had checked the nautical charts here not long ago.

Inside the rest cabin, a pot of broth was still simmering, but it was already showing signs of decay, as if it had been abandoned for some time. There was also a mess of blood on the ground, and next to it was a bloody axe.

This allowed Shuidi Shenxing to imagine the scene in the cabin before: the pirate captain was sitting on a chair looking at the sea chart, the chef was baking food, and the pirates were queuing up waiting for their meal, when they were attacked by someone.

"This is so terrifying just thinking about it!" Shuidi Shenxing walked around the cabin. It was completely empty, not a soul in sight. The only living thing was a black cat, meowing with hunger. Alex, however, found more blood and hair on the deck of his own ship. There was a line of blood-stained footprints on the cabin floor, leading directly from the cabin to the deck, eventually disappearing at the edge of the deck. He also found some footprints on the hull.

"It might be the traces left by Archbishop Edward. He 'ate' everyone." Zhou Ning finished settling tasks for several players, looked at them for a few seconds, checked the traces, slowly exhaled, and said calmly.

The scene here reminded him of a scene he had seen in the TV series, also in the waters near the Jedria Sea, where Edward boarded a passing ship. Maybe it was this ship.

"Do you have the True Sight with you? Can you confirm it?" Zhou Ning said to Smith Hall.

"I brought it, but..." Smith Hall frowned, but finally made up his mind and walked into the cabin. Not long after, he took out a mirror and began to show what happened a few days ago.

There was no movement for the first three days, until four days ago when a visual image appeared. A dozen sailors were fishing on the edge of the deck when a soft noise suddenly came from the side of the ship's rear. A dripping wet figure climbed up. No, Zhou Ning could clearly see it was a raging seaweed that had pushed him up. He wore a soaking white priest's robe, his hair and beard white. His mouth slowly stretched into a kind smile, but compared to before, his eyes had a hint of madness, followed by a blood-red glow and a chilling swallowing sound.

"This is Archbishop Edward..."

The corners of Smith Hall's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He had been reserved about the information provided by Zhou Ning before, but now the facts were in front of him, and he had to believe it.

In the mirror, Edward slowly stood up from the ground, wiped the blood from his mouth, and walked down the stairs of the cabin.

About 5 minutes later, he walked up the cabin stairs again and re-entered the sea along the original route, heading east towards Tartarus Island and the waters of the Motley Islands.

Immediately afterwards, the screen returned to darkness.

After reading the True Vision's records, the scene fell silent. The professionals of the Church of the God of War looked at each other in disbelief. Smith Hall said in a stiff tone, "Everyone must keep everything you saw today confidential. Set sail now and strive to reach Tartarus Island before noon tomorrow."

"I'm afraid it's not that easy..."

Zhou Ning subconsciously took out his pocket watch and took a look at it, and couldn't help but twitching his lips. There were only 5 minutes left before the unlucky time came. According to his gains yesterday, the scale should not be small.
