Chapter 181

The flame Ignite began to burn quickly. The struggle of Drowned Corpse is in vain. Under the illumination of Candle of Darkness, they are unable to resist the deep and invisible power. After a while, this large group of Drowned Corpse were all knocked down. Their rotten bodies were quickly reduced to ashes by the invisible flames, leaving only a pungent burnt smell filling the air. Until this moment, Li Wen gently blew out the candle in his hand and walked slowly to the young people. They were stunned by the sight before them, and they didn't come back to their senses until Li Wen spoke. "Are you okay?" Li Wen's voice was calm and cold, but it revealed an unquestionable majesty. Chapter 191: Frankly speaking, classmates, Fu Qingyan is not very optimistic about this operation. The cause of the matter probably started when the kind captain was willing to give them a job. To be fair, as long as players are interested in exploring this game, there should be no need to sell their physical strength in order to survive at this time. Fu Qingyan and her teammates are both classmates and members of the same school club. Although they are not technically skilled players, they are players who have gone through the pioneering period and have certain gaming experience. Logically speaking, they do not need to take on such a task that wastes energy and time. But this time it was different. The captain was willing to allow them to board the ship, and he only had to do some things within his ability. The wages were paid. The most important thing was that the destination of the ship was Port Belen. This is particularly important because not long ago, one of the members of their team discovered an old Sea Chart while working in a used bookstore in Leicester. Someone vividly described the location of an undersea ruins in that Sea Chart. Countless wealth and secrets were buried in the ruins, and that location happened to be in the sea near Port Belen. Originally, they planned to go to Port Belen immediately, but unexpectedly they happened to catch up with the big event that happened in Leicester City. Although they had no intention of participating, they were still forced to get involved. Until the dust settled on this matter, and after hearing that the so-called treasure was taken away by the NPC, their team re-planned the matter of the undersea ruins. Fu Qingyan does not recognize the existence of underwater ruins from logical inference. Even if there is such a place full of treasures and secrets, it is impossible for them to explore it. What's more, how can the producer of Sea Chart be willing to share this secret? This is most likely a trap set by an intentional person. However, Fu Qingyan did not stop her teammates. With her prestige in the class and club, even if she did, others would only accept it happily. After all, "World Tree: Origin" is just a game, even if it has achieved almost the ultimate in "building reality", even if it is simply impossible to create such a game based on the current level of technology, Fu Qingyan's experience these days told her that this is a game. Since it is a game, no matter what secrets or conspiracies in this world are waiting for players to explore and experience, there is no need for her to be a spoiler. So they accepted the captain's offer and boarded the ship as temporary sailors. Life on the ship is boring and boring, not as exciting as imagined. Fu Qingyan naturally doesn't care about it, but her classmates don't have the patience to endure this kind of life. So they asked around on the boat to see if they could have some fun. They thought they would find nothing, but unexpectedly they found something. An old sailor who encountered a mysterious accident when he was young and is now crazy. Isn't that a plot character related to the hidden mission? So they immediately tried to contact the sailor named Old Joey. Things did not go well at first. Old Joey was usually crazy or ignored anyone and refused to communicate. However, Fu Qingyan judged from the other party's behavior and living habits that the other party was not actually crazy, but was just pretending to be crazy and acting stupid. Only in this way did the matter have a breakthrough. After Fu Qingyan's teammates tried their best to convince Old Joey that they had no ill intentions and just wanted to help him, Old Joey was reluctant to tell them what happened back then, but refused their help and warned them that this was not something that mortals could intervene in. He had to take revenge on Two-tailed Mermaid alone, so that the curse could be interrupted. Fu Qingyan and his classmates had no choice but to give up. But things didn't end there. After a daily check-in, they found that they were not online on the Adventurer, but on a dark and lightless ship. Countless stacked and twisted rooms surrounded them, like a maze. Then they met the crazy sailor Old Joey here. The other party warned them again not to meddle in their own business, and told them that it was best to stay where they were and not go anywhere, so that they could save their lives. This kind of warning means nothing to players, and Fu Qingyan doesn't think anyone can listen to it. Sure enough, after Old Joey left alone, everyone decided to follow Old Joey without even voting. Unexpectedly, they were attacked just after leaving a few rooms. It wasn't people who attacked them, but corpses. Judging from their bloated and rotting bodies, they must have drowned for a long time. Fu Qingyan has seen this kind of monster in the monster illustration made by players in the forum - Drowned Corpse, a kind of living corpse, with high attack and low defense, and no threat to extraordinary people. But the sad thing is that there are no extraordinary people in the team. The classmates with fighting ability immediately decided to stop Drowned Corpse and let others run away first. After all, there were too many Drowned Corpse, and there was no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation. In this case, it was better to act separately. Anyway, they can be resurrected even if they die. But before they could implement this plan, a deeper and darker darkness fell in vain, extinguishing the torches, oil lamps and other lighting tools in their hands. Then, after a piercing and terrifying roar, the darkness dissipated, and there was no trace of the living corpses. Only a figure in a cloak stood not far away, saying in a cold and indifferent voice, "Are you okay?" The voice was clear and sweet, and although it was cold, it would not make people feel disgusted. Fu Qingyan determines that the other person's age is probably between 16-18 - provided that the other person is a human - and there is a high probability that she is a beautiful girl. It seems that she took action to deal with the group of Drowned Corpse, and it does not rule out the possibility that Drowned Corpse was controlled or guided by her - of course, it is meaningless to use this method on them. After a brief moment of thinking, Fu Qingyan had already concluded that the cloaked girl in front of him was probably a young transcendent, and at least she had no malicious intent so far. After blinking, a formulaic smile appeared on Fu Qingyan's face. She has always led the team's communication and thinking, not to mention that others are still shocked at how Drowned Corpse suddenly disappeared. "Thank you for saving us, Your Excellency." The other party does not have some of the little habits of players, such as staring at the air in a daze from time to time, and the tone does not have that high-playing feeling, so it is most likely an NPC. At this time, she needs to think about her words to avoid saying the wrong thing and reducing her favorability. "We are sailors on the Adventurer, and we were trapped in this strange place due to some accidents. If you know where this place is, or how to get out of here, then please tell us so that we can return to the ship to complete the work. Otherwise, the bosun will not know how to teach us a lesson." What surprised Fu Qingyan was that the other party said directly, "Are you players?" Li Wen frowned and looked at these people. She really didn't expect that she would meet her real classmates here.
