With their movements restricted to the Lookout, there was much less Yang Yi and Su Na could do.
But there were still advantages.
From their elevated position, they would not have to worry about incursions by the darkness for quite some time.
The darkness spread very slowly vertically, but very quickly horizontally.
Once the darkness crept onto the deck, it took less than a minute to occupy the Nightmare Star's entire deck.
After that, it began climbing the mast, slowing to three centimeters an hour.
The mast was nearly thirty meters tall. As long as the darkness did not spread any faster, staying there for a month or so would be no problem at all.
Yang Yi tried commanding the Ancient Skeleton Arms and found that they were completely unaffected by the darkness, though they could do nothing about the viscous black fog.
The vines, on the other hand, had stopped responding. Only some of the vines on the sails and the Lookout could still be controlled.
The Nightmare Star's durability had also dropped considerably, falling to 9427/12000. It had lost over 2,500 durability and could not repair itself automatically.
"The damage to the ship's durability probably came from the vines. I imagine the cabins are filled with darkness too."
Yang Yi made this conjecture as he checked the ship interface.
Judging by its composition, the ratio of bones to vines was roughly three to one.
The day before yesterday, when the Lookout's skill came off cooldown, Yang Yi had used it once and received another blank Sea Chart with nothing on it.
But there was still a month ahead. Surely they could not all be blank; that would make this sea far too empty.
He switched to the World Sea Chart interface. The Nightmare Star had already sailed more
