Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Chapter 490 Hell Admiral
Renekton stared straight ahead with an expressionless face, the deep blue glow in his eyes flowing, as if he was looking at something carefully.

After a while, he stepped forward slowly and slowly, as if he were stepping on an invisible staircase. With every step he took, bright starlight condensed into substance under his feet, lifting him up to continue moving forward.

After reaching a height of about four or five meters, the gray-black monster made of countless pieces of meat also approached the "Future" from under the sea. Countless black and green hairs clung to the hull of the ship as if they were alive. , making the drag of the "Future" difficult to navigate.

The crystal ball held by Renekton's right hand suddenly shone brightly, turning from hazy to transparent.

A ray of indescribably colorful light burst out from the crystal ball in Renekton's hand, surged into the sea, and fell on the huge gray-black monster.

This is a ray from the starry sky that can physically damage the enemy's body structure and is difficult to heal.

Under the sea, a layer of inconspicuous gray appeared on the spliced ​​body of the huge gray-black monster. The body, which was made up of countless pieces of flesh, showed a tendency to become chaotic and split.

Woo~woo~woo~
A hoarse and harsh sound with extremely high frequency came from the bottom of the sea. When this sound reached the ears, it made people dizzy and at the same time, they unconsciously became irritable. They couldn't help but want to tear up everything around them, including themselves. .

The pirates on the deck covered their heads with their hands in pain, and some even rolled over on the deck, with bulging veins on their foreheads and bloodshot eyes, looking extremely uncomfortable.

Renekton's eyes darkened, and the crystal ball held in his right hand once again erupted with a beam of brilliance, this time falling on the hair clinging to the ship's hull.

The dark green hair suddenly turned yellow and frizzy, and soon the roots were broken.

Renekton's hands kept moving. He reached forward with his left hand and grasped it forcefully with his palm in mid-air. At the same time, a burst of bright stars burst out from the crystal ball held in his right hand.

The sea surface in front of the deck seemed to be suddenly turned upside down. The sea water tilted upward with a splash. The huge gray-black monster hidden under the sea surface was also thrown away by invisible gravity. It was mixed with sea water and thrown up to a height of 100 meters. .

In mid-air, the invisible pressure from the air suddenly increased. The huge gray-black monster composed of countless pieces of flesh was like a ravaged balloon, constantly deforming and twisting in mid-air.

Click! Click! Click!

Finally, the toughness of the monster's body reached its limit at a certain moment. With a crackling sound, the huge monster shattered into countless pieces, and a dark red, yellow-green liquid spilled from the body, carrying an unpleasant stench and decay. taste.

The disgusting liquid was like a mixture of pus and dark red blood, carrying countless small pieces of flesh and falling towards the sea below.

While falling, the pieces of meat that were opened stretched out their "hands and legs" in various ways, adjusted their falling direction in mid-air, and swarmed toward the deck of the "Future" in an overwhelming manner!

boom! boom!
Crows burning with red flames gathered around Anderson. Under his control, the flaming crows circled and rushed towards the monsters turned into pieces of meat that fell in the air, causing continuous explosions.

At this time, Klein also took out several talismans made of white tin from his coat pocket. He casually took out a talisman that had been marked in advance to pay attention to spirituality, and recited the ancient Hermes words in a low voice:
"storm!"

The roaring wind suddenly took shape, whistling in all directions, blowing away the mixed yellow-green and dark red liquid that fell in the air, as well as the monsters with their "hands and feet" stretched out.

Dots of bright starlight spread with Renekton as the center, and soon covered the entire "Future". As the starlight surged, the azure starlight was gradually dyed with a layer of brilliant gold, bursting out as bright as the midday sun.

Golden illusory flames ignited out of thin air all around, exuding the majestic breath of the sun, and became dense and continuous into an ocean.

As the golden stars rippled, the pure and sacred golden flames set off thick waves in the mid-air, covering all the strange pieces of meat and highly toxic yellow-green liquid that fell from the mid-air.

Amidst the hoarse and harsh screams, the monster in the air was burned into drops of liquid like a candle, with wisps of green smoke floating up.

The dazzling golden flames lasted for nearly half a minute before burning all the monsters formed from broken flesh.

Cattleya also walked out of the cabin at this time. At some point, she wore a golden brooch in the shape of a bird with long tail feathers on her black classical robe.

With her appearance, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became calm and peaceful, and all the panic and tension disappeared inexplicably.

On the sea not far ahead, I seemed to feel the movement here, and a huge sailboat approached here.

The huge sailboats are mainly dark, but they are all dark green, and there is a pattern of a blooming black tulip on the pale main sail.

Everyone on the deck noticed the approaching huge sailing ship almost at the same time. Anderson glanced at Renekton subconsciously and said in a deep voice:

"This is the flagship of 'Hell Admiral' Ludwell, the 'Black Tulip'!"

"It is a frequent visitor to this sea area!"

The "Black Tulip" just solved the sudden situation and encountered the "Admiral of Hell" again. Isn't this too unlucky? Klein couldn't help but turn his head and look carefully at Anderson, who was holding a dark dagger.

Feeling Klein's gaze, Anderson's mouth twitched and he pretended to be calm and said:

"Ludwell is often active in this area, and it is normal for us to encounter him."

"The bad luck in me can only attract the kind of monsters just now. If I could bring this level of bad luck on my own, our original treasure hunting group would have been wiped out at the very beginning."

"Did your treasure hunting group survive the misfortune for a long time?" Klein asked with a stern face.

Anderson said with some hesitation: "At least I lasted for one day, I mean one day from the outside world!"

Renekton glanced at Klein, who looked a little eager to try, and Anderson, who was waiting for a chance, and said in a calm voice:

"Do you want to hunt him? I can help you hold the battle."

Anderson was about to nod, but quickly stopped himself and said:

"Of course. Wait, are we holding back? Do you want to take action?"

"If I keep taking action, you will gain nothing." Renekton responded with a flat voice.

"That's right." Anderson shrugged, and he and Klein looked at each other, and both saw an eagerness to try in the other's eyes. Standing in mid-air, Renekton suddenly raised his head and looked into the mid-air above the "Future". A nearly transparent eye emerged from there, and its pale pupils were looking down unblinkingly.

The next moment, a ray of pure, bright but not dazzling sunlight suddenly burst out. This light flowed towards the illusive and transparent eyes in the air like water waves.

Before the eyes of the spirit world creature that stayed in mid-air and looked at the creature below had time to retreat, it was instantly enveloped in light and let out a scream that pierced its membranes. Its "body" emitted a burst of green smoke, and finally evaporated and disappeared. not see.

The sailing speed of the "Black Tulip" in the distance suddenly slowed down. It began to turn its sails, adjust its course, and sail toward the side of the "Future".

Looking at the "Black Tulip" that suddenly adjusted its course, Anderson felt a flash of disappointment in his heart and said aloud:

"This 'Admiral of Hell' doesn't seem to be planning to take advantage of the situation. It seems that my luck is not that bad after all!"

"Don't talk." Klein glanced at him speechlessly.

Anderson turned his head and made a closed mouth gesture, then walked to the side of the ship and stared at the "Black Tulip" in the distance without blinking.

Four to five hundred meters away from the "Future", on the front deck of the "Black Tulip", there was also a man dressed as the captain standing quietly looking at this side. He was also the only living person on the ship.

He wore a three-cornered hat embroidered with white skulls and feathers, a complicated and gorgeous brown short coat, and a thin rapier at his waist.

His face was covered with a silver mask, which hid his entire face, leaving only a few holes symbolizing his eyes, nose, and mouth.

Although they couldn't see the expression on his face, everyone on the "Future" could feel a sense of nervousness in his posture. This "Hell Admiral" seemed to be more nervous than them, fearing his own side. The person suddenly got angry.

What was he afraid of? Klein turned his head in confusion and looked at Renekton, who had landed on the deck. The dark blue glow flowing in his eyes had dissipated, and the crystal ball in his hand was no longer bright and transparent. , seems to be covered with a layer of water mist that is difficult to see clearly from the inside.

"He should have noticed the look I cast just now." Renekton explained simply, and then walked towards the cabin.

Seeing this scene, Anderson, who had always been vigilant, relaxed and put away the dagger in his hand. He calmly looked at the "Black Tulip" which was accelerating away from the sea and sighed with emotion:

"It seems there is no danger. It's a pity. I thought I had a chance to take off Ludwell's mask and see what kind of face was behind that mask."

Klein glanced at Anderson lightly, swallowed the word "shut up" he was about to say, and walked towards the cabin without looking back.

Anderson looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He raised his hand indifferently and said:

"It's so difficult."

"I'll drink by myself."

The crew of the "Future" quickly cleaned up the mess under Cattleya's command. Renekton, who came out of the restaurant, glanced at Anderson who was lying on his back next to the stairs with a calm expression and a restrained breath.

The latter seemed to feel the movement beside him, tried hard to raise his head, and said as if talking in sleep:

"Is there something wrong with the wine here?"

"Frank added sedatives to the drinks on the ship." Renekton replied expressionlessly.

"." Anderson lay silently on the edge of the stairs, speechless. He fell into an unusually calm state and didn't even want to think.

Renekton twitched his lips, stepped over Anderson, and walked towards Cattleya's captain's cabin.

Boom~boom~
"Come in." Cattleya's cold and calm voice came from the captain's cabin.

Renekton pushed open the door and walked in. He looked around the captain's room for a moment and then said:

"Captain, I plan to leave the Future."

Cattleya looked at Renekton with some surprise and said:

"Escape from the 'Future'? This sea area is very dangerous."

"Are you sure you can leave this sea without a ship?"

Renekton nodded slightly and said:

"My destination is the Land Abandoned by the Gods, and I won't stay in this sea for too long. Well, when I leave, I may need to trouble you to send a boat to pick me up."

"No problem." Cattleya nodded lightly and did not ask any more questions.

After leaving Cattleya's captain's cabin, Renekton said goodbye to other people on the ship one after another, and briefly explained his reasons and plans for leaving the "Future".

Anderson, who had recovered from his sedation, said with a look of ruthless abandonment:
"You want to leave the 'Future'? What about the bad luck on my side?"

Renekton reminded him aloud:
"I can't solve your bad luck problem."

After thinking for a while, he added: "But I can give you a hint."

"What tip?" Anderson asked immediately.

Renekton glanced sideways at Klein who was patrolling the sea at the front of the deck, then looked away and chuckled:
"Choose a belief. You can pray to great beings for a reminder and get a way to relieve your misfortune. Instead of directly praying for them to clean up your misfortune, the price you need to pay will not be too high. It belongs to your ability. The scope of payment.”
