Chapter 885, General's Tomb
It really is a ghost ship!
Even though the intelligence mentioned the ghost ship, I was mentally prepared.
But when I saw it with my own eyes, I was still shocked by the weirdness and oppressive feeling brought by the ghost ship.
The middle-aged deacon had an unsightly expression, his senses were affected, and he only discovered his target when the ghost ship was right next to him.
He said in a deep voice: "Prepare for battle."
The rest of the people also acted quickly to prepare for possible dangers.
Wu Heng stood at the back of the team, with Shanshan and Tiaotiao beside him, two level 20 skeletons.
Xiao Xiao flew down from the sky and whispered in his ear, "Uncle, can the cemetery be placed on a boat?"
In special circumstances, Xiaoxiao can always focus on less important things.
"There is indeed such a thing as ship burial. The ship is arranged like a cemetery, and then the ship is pierced and sunk to the bottom of the sea." Wu Heng replied in a low voice.
"Wow! Uncle knows so much." Xiao Xiao cooperated and then asked, "Is this the tomb of the Pirate King? I think their analysis makes sense!"
Ever since Wu Heng and others came to Treasure Island, legends and events related to the Pirate King have never stopped.
Now, Wu Heng has become a hero, pirates are rarely seen in the entire Emerald Sea, and a ship cemetery suspected to be that of the Pirate King has appeared.
It was like some kind of curse that had been haunting the Emerald Sea.
"You'll know when you go in." Wu Heng replied.
At this time, the middle-aged deacon came over and Xiaoxiao stopped talking.
The deacon said solemnly, "Master Wu Heng, from the intelligence we have collected, we can be sure that there are iron golems on the ghost ship, but what I am most worried about is the owner of this tomb. The power of the dead is so strong..."
The other party didn't say anything else, and Wu Heng understood what he was worried about.
If this ship is really a tomb, and it has such a strong power of the undead, it is hard to say whether the owner of the tomb will be waiting for them inside.
"I am a necromancer, no problem." Wu Heng said calmly.
If a ghost appears here, or the tomb owner has become a corpse ghost, it is unlikely to reach level 20.
Therefore, it is completely within my ability to cope with.
The middle-aged deacon was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to be so confident. After a pause, he said tactfully, "It's better to be careful."
As he was speaking, the ghost Benny flew back from the opposite side, entered his body, and shared a scene.
Four tall metal puppets were walking towards the deck.
Every step I took was accompanied by the creaking sound of metal colliding.
Wu Heng looked up and said, "The puppet is out, be careful."
The middle-aged deacon was stunned for a moment. After two or three seconds, the ranger in front shouted, "A figure has emerged from the ghost ship. It's a metal puppet."
Then, a two-meter-tall figure wearing rusty copper-green armor walked out from the deck of the ghost ship, holding a bronze sword in one hand and a spear in the other.
"Attack!" the middle-aged deacon gave the order directly.
Bang~!
The crossbow roared, and the crossbow arrow, as thick as an arm, flew directly towards the target area.
Sand~!
The crossbow arrow passed by the puppet's shoulder armor, emitting sparks.
Almost!
At this moment, the metal puppet on the opposite side half-crouched with a "cracking" sound.
The next second, he jumped directly, intending to cross the distance between the two ships and jump directly to this side.
"Be prepared to fight back and pay attention to cooperation!" the middle-aged deacon continued to shout loudly.
The other deputy deacons and captains hastily tore open the scroll and put the pills under their tongues.
With a serious look on his face, he prepared to meet the enemy.
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at the jumping iron puppet with some surprise.
So flexible?
Not to mention that it's made of metal, just the rust all over its body makes it look like it doesn't look like it can do such a move.
"Shanshan! Go up and clean them up." Wu Heng said casually.
Whoosh~!
Everyone only felt a gust of wind passing by them, and then saw a figure suddenly grow larger in the air and directly hit the puppet.
Bang~!
With a loud crash, the two-meter-tall puppet body was knocked flying, smashing the already dilapidated ghost ship behind it.
Then, the tall cloaked figure quickly turned around in the air and knocked the second and third puppets back into the ghost ship.
Only the fourth landed on this side of the deck.
Everyone was stunned, and one of the four iron golems came over.
"There's only one left, kill him..."
Ziz~Bang!
A silver-white [lightning beam] shot out from behind and instantly hit the chest of the iron golem that fell on the deck.
The last iron golem also flew back half a meter and hit the ship's fence.
The metal body staggered and tried to get up.
Boom boom boom~!
Five consecutive lightning bolts struck from the sky, like a punishment from heaven, submerging the puppet.
The lightning disappeared and the iron golem stopped moving.
The middle-aged deputy deacon and other members of the association stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes.
Four iron golems.
Three of them were knocked back, and the only one who came over turned into pieces on the ground before he could even stand firmly.
Where is the crisis?
The iron golem’s strength has not reached level 12?
That's not right. There are debris all over the ground outside. It can't be that easy.
If only it could be solved that easily.
What's the status of tearing the scroll to add and taking the pills in advance?
"Master Wuheng." The middle-aged deacon came over and wanted to ask about the next plan.
The sounds of fighting on the ghost ship continued.
Apparently still fighting the remaining iron golems.
Wu Heng waved his hand and said, "Come over and get ready to board the ship."
"Prepare to board the ship!" the middle-aged deacon ordered loudly.
The ship approached again, and grappling hooks were thrown over to hook the ghost ship's fence, shortening the distance between the two sides.
After the two ships were connected, everyone jumped directly onto the ghost ship.
There were three iron golems, one of which had been broken, and the remaining two were also being beaten by the skeleton servants.
The middle-aged deacon waved his hand and led his men to kill directly to speed up the process of clearing the target.
After all, it is not clear whether the owner of this ship is still alive.
On board the association's vessel.
Wu Heng stared at the dilapidated ship, which was full of holes and dark green moss.
No panel or description appears!
Isn't this ship a wonder?
I thought it would be a special object like the Ghost Train.
Now it seems that it is not the ship that has the special effects.
"Wu Heng, there is a coffin inside, and there are many similar burial objects in other cabins."
At this time, Glenda also flew back and spoke directly from the side.
Xiaoxiao was surprised, "It's really a tomb, Auntie, is this the tomb of the Pirate King?"
Grenda showed a hint of surprise and said, "It could be the Pirate King. He fits the idea of using the ship as a cemetery. Xiaoxiao is really smart."
Xiao Xiao was a little embarrassed and said, "It was analyzed by the association members just now, not something I thought of."
Wu Heng then explained, "Just now, the crew fished out a flag from the sea. It contained clues left by the mercenary group and mentioned that this ship was a cemetery."
"Oh!" Glenda nodded, and then added, "The coffin is open, and there are many filthy things inside."
"Opened? Is there a body inside?" Wu Heng asked.
"There are some body remains, and we're not sure if they are the original owner of the coffin!" Granda replied.
Wu Heng nodded, "Let me see!"
Glenda crawled into the body and the scene inside the ship was shared.
The central area of the ship is built like a building, with eaves, beams and pillars, trying to give the same feeling as a normal house as possible.
Granda's perspective began to move, passing through several cabins.
Inside the cabin, the furniture was rotten, and the floor was covered with mud and debris mixed together. Only some exposed corners could be distinguished as some utensils.
That is, the burial objects in the tomb.
Then, he passed directly through the wall and entered the main chamber of the ship.
A sarcophagus was placed in the middle.
When he saw the sarcophagus, Glenda was obviously a little surprised. He stood at a distance and hesitated for several seconds before flying closer.
The coffin lid was placed one meter away, and a large amount of turbid matter accumulated in the sarcophagus.
If you look closely, you can see something black and some broken bones.
Then, Glenda circled again before flying back.
After watching the shared footage, Wu Heng released Granda again.
Glenda asked, "How do you say the coffin lid was opened?"
"We're not sure yet, let's go in and take a look when the time comes." Wu Heng said.
There are only two possibilities: one is that the tomb owner opened it from the inside, and the other is that someone went in and opened the coffin lid.
The message left by the mercenary group mentioned the cemetery. Maybe they had some way to avoid the puppets and open the coffin.
……
"Master Wuheng, the battle is over." A captain looked over and shouted.
"Yeah." Wu Heng nodded and walked directly onto the ghost ship.
The skeleton flapped its wings and flew over. Several people from the association were checking the puppet on the ground from a distance.
Seeing Wu Heng coming up, the middle-aged deacon led the team over.
Said: "I have never seen this style of puppet before. It is not the style made by the association or mainstream puppets."
Wu Heng didn't understand this either. He had given the iron golem that he had exchanged for merit to Andvielle, and he had never observed it himself.
"Let's go. We'll study these puppets when we get back." Wu Heng said.
"Okay!" The deacon nodded, turned around and ordered, "A few of you stay outside to guard the ship, and the rest of you follow me in."
"Yes!" everyone responded.
Being led by Wu Heng along the way, everyone felt much less stressed.
On the deck, the battle was raging like this, if there was still danger inside, they would have rushed out long ago.
All that remains is to inspect the boat and investigate.
The investigation mission, which had originally been expected to result in the loss of half the staff, turned out to be so easy that the rest of the people were also happy.
Moreover, it will definitely be a great achievement when you return.
Everyone responded happily and acted according to the order.
Wu Heng walked into the cabin with two skeletons and several association members.
There was a creaking sound under my feet. The three-meter-high corridor was rotten, damp, and dripping with water.
Wu Heng led a few people all the way to the main room.
The middle-aged deacon took out two lighting stone lanterns from his space ring and handed them to the two association captains behind him.
Used for lighting.
There were a few words written on the door of the main room.
Whoever opens the door dies!
Before, Granda came in directly through the wall and did not see the words on the gate.
It’s a bit unlucky!
"Open the door!" Wu Heng waved his hand.
The two skeletons behind him walked forward and pushed the door hard.
Bang~!
The entire door fell inward and hit the ground.
Entering the tomb, there was a tall stone platform in the middle, and on top of the stone platform was the sarcophagus that Granda had seen.
The entire stone platform and the sarcophagus are connected together, as if they were carved out of a single piece of stone into their current shape.
The people in the association became nervous again, and the middle-aged deacon wanted to say something several times.
They all held it back.
Following Wu Heng, he walked up the stone steps and approached the sarcophagus.
Wu Heng released the [Dancing Light Technique] above the sarcophagus. Four balls of light circled in the sky, illuminating the surroundings.
The scene inside the sarcophagus was exactly the same as what I had seen before.
The coffin lid was placed aside, and the inside was turbid.
The middle-aged deacon looked at the opened sarcophagus with a serious look in his eyes. He looked around vigilantly and said, "Has the person in the coffin come out?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people behind them immediately became nervous.
If the owner of this tomb became a dead spirit, he would probably be more powerful than the puppets outside.
Wu Heng said: "He is not on the ship. If he really came out, he has left the ship."
The members of the association now completely trust Wu Heng, but the departure of the tomb owner is still a big deal.
Said: "If he comes out, it will not be a small matter. After he comes out, he must report to the headquarters for a detailed investigation of the matter."
"Let's take a look first." Wu Heng said, and then said to the person behind him, "Dig it out and see if there is anything in there."
The skeleton stretched out its arm and scooped it up in the murky mud.
Some broken bones and pieces of armor were fished out and thrown on the ground, and a stone tablet covered with words was taken out.
Wu Heng took out a bottle of water, and the people from the association immediately reacted and stepped forward to take over and rinse the slate.
The words on the stone slab gradually became clear.
Wu Heng looked intently at the words on the stone slab. The words on the stone slab should belong to the ancient writing of this world.
But in his eyes, it has been translated.
It was about a princess who had her head chopped off because she had incited public anger by seducing the king.
The tomb owner received an order to escort the princess' body back to her hometown to arrange her funeral.
After overcoming many obstacles along the way, he finally reached the princess' hometown and returned to his hometown.
He found that the dynasty had changed, there was no hope of saving the country, and there was no place for him to call home, so he built a mausoleum on this ship and was buried there forever.
The translation of the text may be somewhat incomplete.
But that's roughly what it means.
Seeing Wu Heng reading it seriously, the middle-aged steward beside him asked curiously, "Island Master Wu Heng, what's written on it?"
Wu Heng raised his head and repeated the content to them again.
Not only these people, but also the three invisible ghosts were listening attentively.
The middle-aged deacon smiled and said, "The Island Master Wu Heng also recognizes these characters."
"I, Hongwen, know a little bit about it." Wu Heng said, and then continued, "The name of the tomb owner is not written on the stone slab, but he is a general of a certain kingdom, and his rank should not be high."
I heard him say that his level is not high.
The others all raised their eyebrows.
The puppets guarding the tomb outside are all level 12 deacons, and the level of the tomb owner must be higher.
Reaching level 15 or even level 18, how can this be considered low level?
Of course, everyone was thinking in their hearts, and the deacon still said, "Well, you are right."
Through this stone slab, we can be sure that the opponent is not the Pirate King, and if his level is not high, even if he transforms into a zombie or a ghost, the damage will not be that great.
It can be safer.
Ta Ta Ta Ta~!
At this time, footsteps came from behind.
Everyone looked back vigilantly and saw the two people guarding outside walk in.
"What's wrong?" the deacon asked in a deep voice.
One of them said, "Deacon, a body was found on the boat. It was a dwarf."
