Chapter 144 Defense Subsystem

The angry wizard skeleton vented his anger unabashedly.

Unlucky students kept falling to the ground in extreme pain under the opponent's mental attack spells, making miserable cries.

The hundreds of students gathered on the deck were panic-stricken, and their faces were tense, fearing that the next mental attack spell would fall on them.

The apprentice wizard who was maintaining order was no longer indifferent, and looked at the burning skeleton from the corner of his eyes from time to time, feeling a little nervous.

Looking at all this, Li He frowned slightly. From the overly angry skeleton, he noticed another deeper emotion - the other party seemed to be afraid.

Because I was afraid, I was angry, so I wanted to use anger to cover up my guilty conscience.

The angrier you are, the more guilty you are.

After thinking for a while, Li He pressed the lower left position of the heart socket, and the regenerated heart in the chest began to beat faster, which brought enhanced perception function, like a membrane extending to the surroundings, and soon covered the entire deck.

After carefully distinguishing the perceived emotions, a very secret panic was collected from the location of the bones.

Sure enough... Li He is sure... Sure enough, the skeleton is not afraid of the few corpses that appear on the deck, but is afraid that more corpses will appear in the future, afraid that the wizard who fell into the sea at the beginning is not dead, and is hiding in the dark and preparing to take back the big ship.

So this voyage will change?

Maybe.

Li Hyuk didn't care much, shook his head, turned around, followed the flow of people, and walked towards the entrance of the cabin below the deck——After the bones vented their anger, they didn't get the desired result, and finally announced their dissolution.

Although it was disbanded, things obviously did not end so simply, and many aspects changed accordingly.

Because of venting their anger, the students who were killed by the bones with spiritual spells were not thrown into the sea as before, but burned to ashes by the wizard apprentices with fire spells.

The corpses that inexplicably appeared on the deck were also treated in the same way. They were burned to ashes and sealed in boxes.

Afterwards, martial law was declared throughout the ship, and all students were ordered to stay in their rooms, and were not allowed to go out except at specified times.And the so-called special time, apart from the bloody fighting, is an hour of airing every afternoon.

All wizard apprentices were mobilized and divided into nearly ten groups, constantly patrolling the entire ship.

This brought some inconvenience to Li He's research on the big ship, but after getting familiar with the big ship in the previous period, Li He was already very familiar with the structure of the big ship, avoided the fixed patrols of the wizard apprentices, hid his figure, and continued to study the various parts of the big ship carefully, without affecting much progress.

With continuous research, in Li He's cognition, the principle of the whole big ship gradually became clear, and he couldn't help but sigh that the Solomon University that built this big ship, which is now the Dark Heart College, really has a lot of things worth learning for him.

……

While Li He continued to study the big ship, the deck of the big ship became less and less quiet.

New corpses appear every day, and the number keeps increasing.

And purple-black strange flowers grew on the surface of the corpse, like some kind of parasite.

A few days later, the corpse that appeared on the deck had strange purple-gray flowers growing on most of its surface. The corpse was no longer a dead thing, but began to have the ability to move, attacking and destroying everything frantically.

Although it was easily solved by a large number of wizard apprentices, it made the skeleton's mood worse and worse.

However, this didn't matter to Li He, and he was even a little happy to see this situation, which could involve most of the energy of the skeleton and the wizard apprentice, so that he could conduct research on the big ship more smoothly.

In Blackstone Castle, there are more and more records about the research of the big ship, but the parts in multiple positions on the big ship are constantly decreasing, all of which are collected by Li He.Of course, he didn't do anything to the core part of the big ship, so as not to have too much impact and disrupt the normal navigation of the big ship.

Research, research, research, in the research, Li Hyuk couldn't extricate himself.

……

a few days later.

Only seven or eight days before reaching the shore, the big ship experienced another natural disaster.

A large rose-colored rain cloud enveloped the big ship, followed by the downpour of pink strong alkali rainwater, which fell on the sea surface and the deck, reacting violently, and a large cloud of pink alkali mist rose.

Unfortunately, the two apprentice wizards who were on patrol were caught in it, and before they could even scream, they were corroded into two skeletons.

Afterwards, the skeleton made a move to disperse the alkali mist, and ordered the ship to speed up and leave the rain cloud area.

After struggling to get rid of this sudden natural disaster, the entire deck and shell of the large ship were corroded, and pits appeared in many parts.

However, Skeleton didn't care about repairing the damaged part of the big ship. It just asked the wizard apprentice to continue to maintain order on the ship, maintain a high level of alert, and speed up as much as possible to reach the pick-up point - Lengzhu Wharf as early as possible.

The night came quickly, and the entire big ship was silent, except for the apprentice wizards who occasionally patrolled, no one could be seen on the deck or in the cabin corridors below the deck.

In this silence, Li He quietly appeared on the ship's side.

Where he was, there was an irregular hollow the size of a washbasin, with scorched black edges and a pungent smell, which was caused by strong alkaline rain during the day.

But the corrosion of strong alkali rain did not completely penetrate the deck—this large ship manufactured by Solomon University can sail in dangerous seas, and its quality is relatively good. Various precautions were taken at the beginning of the design.

Therefore, after being corroded by strong alkali rain, it did not penetrate to the cabin below, but exposed an interlayer—this is the reason why Li He appeared here this time.

Li He squinted at the corroded pit, waved his hand lightly, and a wind blade flew out, cutting the light gray wooden board at the bottom of the hole, revealing the dense metal chains underneath, with complicated patterns on it.

"Sure enough." Li He looked at it, his eyes lit up slightly, and he smiled.

After this period of research, he already knew the big ship very well, and speculated that there should be something he was interested in here.

If I didn't guess wrong, this should be an important node of the Conch, which can sense some situations on the deck and let the operating room make corresponding adjustments.In times of danger, after injecting a large amount of energy into the control room, the nodes can be fully activated, releasing the stored spells, causing some changes in the deck, strengthening defenses, and responding to attacks.

In short, this is a defensive subsystem in the overall system of the big ship.

This should be the most valuable thing besides the control system and energy source in the operating room in the large bilge.

Li He was not polite, took a deep breath, wrapped his arms in thick black mist, reached into the hole, pushed aside the metal chain, fumbled for a while, and took out a fist-sized purple crystal with golden lines engraved on the surface.

Holding the purple crystal in front of him and observing it carefully for a few seconds, Li Hyuk nodded.

That's right, it is consistent with the results of his research and speculation.

Looking at the radiance surging inside the purple crystal, Li He was sure that this was the most important part of the defense subsystem - the magical props that stored defensive spells.

This thing has great use value and research value. If it is a normal situation, out of caution, he would not do it so directly.

But it's different now, the situation on board is complicated, and the skeleton has no intention of managing it, which is a good opportunity.In addition, judging from the fact that the big ship was resistant to strong alkali rain and refused to activate this defense, he suspected that the skeleton and the wizard apprentice currently operating the big ship might not understand this situation at all.

Then he is welcome.

Putting away the purple crystal quickly, Li He waved a ball of strong lye and flew out, corroding everything in the hole, destroying the traces, and turned around to leave.

Suddenly, he sensed something and looked towards the front of the deck.
