Chapter 191 Performance Fee of [Witch’s Harp] (3rd Update)
"Damn it!"
"What is all this?"
"Those white bones... actually formed a complete body and started to move?"
"Be careful! They are coming up!"
"Attack! Attack! Attack!"
At this moment, the army composed of skeletons took on human form.
Their ability to move is very strong, and their terrifying bone claws are firmly attached to the hull of the ghost ship, crawling upward.
Above the deck, these layers of iron cables leave a small gap in the middle, providing a space for the bones to climb.
certainly.
The surface of the iron rope is inherently irregular in shape. Even if it can be stacked together perfectly, it cannot form a smooth surface.
The white bones of those skeletons were embedded deeply into the gaps and climbed upward.
If they reach the hole in the center of the dome, they can jump into the ghost ship from above and attack the surrounding sailors.
With the tenacity of life that these skeletons cannot be killed...
If you fall from such a high place, you can probably just stand up and regain your combat capabilities.
"Knock them down!" Storm Commander shouted, "Everyone, get on board, we must not let these things board the ship!"
Those skulls alone can cause a lot of trouble to the ghost ship.
However, if skeletons with complete bodies and holding bone swords and knives climbed up collectively, the situation would definitely fall into an extremely passive disadvantage!
These skeletons are simply unkillable.
now……
The iron rope had already reached the top, and it was difficult to shoot the skull away with a sword like before, just like playing baseball.
These skeletons have heavier bodies and stronger mobility...
Once the ghost ship is boarded on a large scale, it will be a disaster!
now.
The sailors immediately held swords and attacked the skeletons crawling outside.
However, there are too many of these skeletons, and it is difficult to effectively attack them through the iron ropes.
Instead, the skeleton waved the bone sword in his hand, piercing the shoulders of several Poseidon descendants, splattering blue blood.
At least……
Blue blood is still normal.
If it is dark blood, the consequences will be even more serious!
When Chen Ye saw this scene, his eyes moved slightly.
These skeletons do not have the characteristics of 'pollution', which means that they are not bodies that move due to 'parasitism'...
In fact...'parasitism' needs to attach to the flesh and blood of living things and provide nutrients to allow the bugs inside to survive.
But these skeletons only have bones left, without any flesh and blood, so of course they cannot be 'parasitized'.
Probably……
These skeletons are the legendary [Undead] sequence. At the same time, they are also one of the three most powerful professions in the strange era.
According to legend, the [Undead] appears in the form of dead bodies and corpses. It is the most difficult dungeon in the Strange Era. It only appears in the background story for the time being, and no related monsters have been developed yet.
But what I didn't expect was...
In this sea of dead bodies, Chen Ye discovered a being whose characteristics were suspected of being [immortal]!
"According to the official background story, the essence of the [Undead] is that the cursed soul is no longer imprisoned by mortal flesh and blood and can attach to dead objects."
"But low-sequence [undead] also have big shortcomings!"
"If it's just attached to items like tables and stools, it's no different than dead, and it won't have much impact."
"However... this sea of dead corpses, these ocean-like skeletons, can provide a large number of bodies for [the undead] to move around. Moreover, they are endless and cannot be killed at all."
"This is the paradise of the [immortal]!"
Chen Ye frowned, realizing that the enemy he encountered this time was very difficult.
At present, there is no need to think about how to kill the [Undead], but to stop these skeletons, enter the ghost ship, and capture this place.
He witnessed the battle in the distance, and his pupils reflected the image of thousands of sailors standing on the deck, competing with skeletons for swordplay.
But the number of skeletons was too dense.
Even if a small number of skeletons can be knocked down by waving the sword, there will still be a large number of skeletons climbing over the head and climbing up from the arch.
This kind of efficiency is really too low...
Chen Ye strummed the strings with his fingertips and conveyed his thoughts to every descendant of Poseidon standing on the field fighting:
"Don't use swords, don't use crossbows, use the most primitive bows and arrows."
"There is no need to use holy silver arrows. Use the broadest and most primitive bow and arrow."
"Shoot the top skeleton!"
Following Chen Ye's command, the descendants of Poseidon present immediately took out their bows and arrows in an orderly manner.
It's like having a backbone.
They retreated closer to the center of the ghost ship, fully drew their bowstrings, and fired their bows and arrows.
Whoosh!
The violent sound of breaking through the air passed through the chain and knocked the skeleton outside directly into the air.
Compared with crossbows, the explosive power of bows and arrows is actually more powerful.
The figure is enough to carry the entire skeleton and fly outside, blocking them from climbing towards the gap directly above.
With a fully charged bowstring and a wider arrow, the skeleton can be knocked down if the impact is sufficient.
There is no need to use Holy Silver Arrows.
After all, holy silver arrows are more expensive to make, mainly to deal with evil spirits and deep sea monsters that contain "pollution" characteristics, and can play a restraining role.
But in order to reduce costs, the Church of the Sun made the holy silver arrows smaller in size. Using a small-powered crossbow to hit the skeletons was like tickling.
On the contrary, the most primitive bowstring had a stronger explosive force.
At this moment, the skeletons began to crawl towards the gap in the dome.
"Get out, you beast!"
Matthew stood outside the crystal membrane of the superstructure, on the wider suspended terrace, surrounded by arrows, the iron arrows were shining coldly.
He raised his hands and manipulated the metal.
The arrows instantly floated in the air, and in an instant they turned into thousands of arrows, flying towards the skeletons that climbed to the top.
Bang, bang, bang!
Under Matthew's precise operation, these arrows accurately passed through the gaps between the iron chains and knocked down the skeletons above.
Although there were many skeletons, even if thousands of sailors fired arrows, there would still be many fish that slipped through the net and could climb up.
Unfortunately, they are about to face the last barrier!
Matthew, who has the ability to manipulate metal, fired thousands of arrows at the same time by himself.
No matter how many skeletons there are, they will be shot down.
His strength alone can be compared to a legion of archers!
Bang, bang, bang!
Tens of thousands of skeletons were shot down to the sea surface. With the ghost ship as a base, all the crew members launched a fierce sea attack and defense.
The descendants of Poseidon pulled the bowstring tirelessly, constantly shooting down the skeletons.
With Matthew as the last solid shield, he guarded the gap at the top.
No skeleton can come in at will.
"Not bad!"
"With Chen Ye, the boss made the most timely judgment."
"If it's a little slower, let these undead skeletons crawl in, it will be troublesome!"
Matthew thought secretly while controlling the arrows.
From the birth of the crisis to coming up with corresponding countermeasures, in less than a few seconds, Chen Ye thought of the most correct way to deal with it.
Otherwise, even if you have so much help, but you don't use this power, you may fall into an unsolvable crisis.
Seeing that the island of the Dragon God Festival is getting closer and closer to the direction of the ghost ship...
It seems that victory is just around the corner.
Suddenly, the entire sea of corpses began to shake violently.
The hull became extremely unstable again.
During the violent shaking, all the sailors found it difficult to stand firmly, let alone accurately pull the bowstring to shoot the skeletons outside.
Of course, the skeletons climbing on the iron chain were thrown away by the violent shaking.
But the side of the ghost ship suddenly raised a thousand-foot-high sea of corpses!
The height of these waves was enough to submerge the ghost ship, carrying thousands of skeletons and falling from above.
Boom!
There was a heavy smashing sound in the middle of the ghost ship.
Those skeletons actually boarded the ship from the gap above in this way!
They fell from a high place, and several bones were scattered.
However, these bones squirmed on the ground for a few times, and suddenly bounced back to the human skeleton, and assembled completely.
Crack, crack!
The skeleton moved its arms, stood up from the ground, and regained its mobility.
They waved swords and continued to chop at the sailors around them.
"Be careful, deal with them, abolish their weapons first, and then suppress them."
Chen Ye continued to play the strings and convey his thoughts.
Under the command, the descendants of the sea god relied on their higher fighting skills to besiege the skeletons at the same time.
Soon, the skeleton soldiers were immediately suppressed, and the bone swords in their hands were shot down.
The sailors next to them found hemp ropes from the warehouse and tied up the skeletons tightly.
This thing immediately lost its combat ability.
However, the huge waves of corpses thousands of feet high were still roaring from the side.
Every time the huge waves hit, several to a dozen "lucky skeletons" fell from the gap...
At the same time...
Some skeletons would climb up along the side.
At the beginning, the descendants of Poseidon were able to fire arrows while dividing their forces to suppress the skeletons inside.
But the speed of the waves was getting faster and faster, and more skeletons joined the battlefield, dispersing the forces.
At this time, the ghost ship was already a little unable to suppress the growing number of skeletons.
The situation was faintly unbalanced.
Chen Ye's eyes moved slightly, and at this moment, he found that the [Witch Strings] in his hand had split into a blood light, connecting these skeletons.
"Wait, judging from the image of luck, does the [Witch Strings] have the characteristics of restraining [Undead]?"
Realizing this, Chen Ye tried to play [Soul Funeral Song].
Suddenly, the sound of the strings became manic, and a sound wave turned into a substantial gray ripple, instantly stirring around.
When the funeral song sounded...
Most of the skeletons on the ship suddenly fell apart completely!
Their bones were scattered on the ground, motionless, with no signs of being spliced back together.
"Sure enough!" Chen Ye smiled slightly, "The essence of [Undead] is that the soul is attached to dead objects to enjoy the immortality of the body, so the price corresponding to this immortality is that the soul is particularly fragile."
"You just need to control the degree of playing, just enough to kill the [Undead], but not enough to trigger the death effect of teammates, and you can get rid of these skeletons."
“The consciousness of these skeletons’ autonomous activities is the performance fee of [Witch’s Harp]!”
