To avoid frightening the garrison of Penglai City, Qin Ze let Abyss Puppet wander back on his own.
The Flying Circus Man has now arrived in Penglai City.
However, such a large ship could not enter the city and was moored at a location far from the front lines.
Qin Ze recalled the Five Heavenly Kings and brought them back to Snow City.
Captain Hook arrived in Snow City in the Northern Territory a few days ago and had already booked a room for Qin Ze.
"Boss, I've missed you so much!"
As soon Qin Ze pushed open the hotel room door, Captain Hook gave him a warm hug.
"You miss my Soul Orb, don't you?"
Qin Ze pushed the person away in disgust.
Captain Hook smiled shyly, "I think about the Soul Orb a lot, but most importantly, I think about you as a person."
Qin Ze was too lazy to waste words with him and tossed him the S-Rank Ghost Type Soul Orb.
Captain Hook carefully picked up the Soul Orb, tears welling in his eyes.
"I've waited so long for this day!"
Within the Local Area Network, sarcastic and mocking comments rose and fell.
"As everyone knows, the earlier Soul Orb are all quite ordinary; the later ones are better."
"My assessment of the Ghost Type is that they're just so-so."
"Hehe! I'm not envious at all."
"Me too, boohoo..."
"..."
Captain Hook happily swallowed the Soul Orb.
Soon, his body began to change.
Its body gradually became almost transparent and slowly floated up, like a ghost.
"From now on, I'm not human anymore!"
From now on, please call me Ghost Captain!
Captain Hook has completed his evolution and is constantly showing off.
Qin Ze also received feedback on the Ghost Captain's abilities at this moment.
He raised his right hand, and with a thought, his arm instantly became transparent.
Immediately, he picked up a vase from the table and smashed it against his left arm. The vase passed right through it, but he felt nothing in his arm.
The basic ability of the Ghost Type is immunity to physical attacks.
"Give me a shock."
Qin Ze said to the Dharma King.
Upon hearing this, the Dharma King immediately released a lightning snake.
A distinct stinging pain came from the spot on the transparent arm where the electric snake had struck it.
At the same time, the translucent arms began to disappear.
Qin Ze focused his mental energy, and his missing arm was restored to its original state.
Through experiments, he came to the conclusion that the abilities of the Ghost Type consume mental energy.
Furthermore, while the Ghost form is immune to physical attacks, it deals significantly more damage from lightning and fire attacks.
In addition to being immune to physical attacks, the Ghost Type has another basic ability: the ability to possess other beings in Ghost form.
Whether it's a corpse or a living thing, it can possess and control it.
The prerequisite is that your mental strength must be stronger than your opponent's.
If one were to possess Level Nine Martial Artist, they would likely be killed by the opponent's mental power the instant they possessed them.
The unique ability of this S- Soul Orb is "crowd control".
It can be an inanimate object or a living being with weak spiritual power; a controlled puppet can generate a spiritual power explosion.
The stronger one's mental strength, the more puppets one can control.
In that Sea of Inversion, those rotting beasts were all controlled by the Ghost Type.
That's why they don't have Soul Orb inside their bodies, and their attacks carry a mental element.
If used properly, this Soul Orb can have miraculous effects.
Especially when facing a stronger opponent.
It's not impossible to achieve great results with minimal effort.
Then, Qin Ze took out the previously Hunting Beast Soul Orb and gave it to the acting Captain.
Qin Ze planned to have him team up with the Ghost Captain to hunt in the Abyss.
Although the Soul Orb of the Hunting Beast is not of a high level, its abilities are still quite useful.
Concealing in the void for a short time, or performing a void warp, is quite suitable for jungling in the Abyss.
When faced with an unsolvable crisis, he can quickly escape with the Ghost Captain.
The acting Captain looked at the Soul Orb of the Hunting Beast with great disdain.
"I am unworthy of this Soul Orb; my achievements are simply not good enough for it. Boss, please choose someone else."
Without saying a word, Qin Ze forcefully shoved the Soul Orb into the other person's mouth.
The atmosphere on the Local Area Network was filled with merriment as the acting Captain swallowed the Soul Orb of the Hunting Beast.
"If you eat this C-grade Soul Orb, you can't eat S-grade ones anymore~"
"Take it easy. It's a special Soul Orb with capabilities, after all. Apart from Hunting Beast and Ghost Type, what other beasts below S-rank have such capabilities?"
"This Soul Orb may be small, but it's really cute, hahaha!"
"..."
The acting Captain's face was full of resentment.
The Ghost Captain put his arm around his shoulder. "I've seen how well you've performed on this journey. From now on, you'll be my second-in-command!"
The acting Captain sighed silently.
Qin Ze gave all the Soul Orb he had looted from the auction house's vault to Ghost Captain.
He absorbed all of that, but his level was only slightly over level three.
The remaining experience points can only be gained slowly by him farming in the Abyss.
In addition, the Martial Artifact that Qin Ze purchased for free were also given to the crew of the Flying Circus Man, to improve their self-defense capabilities.
Qin Ze and the Five Heavenly Kings escorted the Ghost Captain back to the Flying Circus Man Penglai City.
"From now on, our brothers' Soul Orb depend on you!"
"I don't know when we'll meet again after this parting. Have a safe journey."
Qin Ze patted the Ghost Captain on the shoulder and said earnestly.
The Ghost Captain said solemnly, "I guarantee the mission will be accomplished."
The Ghost Captain brought all the clones of sailors who had been adrift at sea onto the new ship.
Qin Ze's clones were all pounding their chests in frustration.
I should have followed Captain Hook from the beginning.
Being a slave to Qin Ze is nothing compared to hunting in the Abyss.
The Ghost Captain stood on the deck, full of pride and confidence.
" Vice Captain Paopao, is everything ready?"
The Vice Captain Paopao had absorbed the Hunting Beast Soul Orb, nodded. "Everything is ready."
The Ghost Captain waved his hand, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Raise the sails and set sail!"
The mainsail on the Flying Circus Man slowly unfurled.
At the same time, the engines in the engine room stood up and pedaled furiously.
The Flying Circus Man starts, facing the Abyss, Luffy.
Thump--
They hadn't gone far when the Flying Circus Man crashed into a small hill.
Fortunately, the boat was "thick-skinned and tough," and managed to smash through the hill, carving out a path.
Qin Ze couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
No wonder he's called the Ghost Captain; he can even slip and fall on flat ground.
After seeing the Flying Circus Man off, Qin Ze returned to Snow City and sent a message to Brother Yuanzi.
"I have arrived."
A moment later, Brother Yuanzi sent a reply.
"Um."
Qin Ze put away the communication card and lay on the bed, bored.
The Otherworld hasn't opened yet; all we can do now is wait patiently.
"Oh, right, mail the fat man's staff back first."
Qin Ze opened the chat group and began contacting Slacking on the Sidelines in the tone of Beast Tamer.
[ Beast Tamer: Do you still have that Martial Artifact staff you told me about last time? Slacking on the Sidelines ]
[ Slacking on the Sidelines: I've been saving this for you.]
[ Beast Tamer: Trading with the Source of the World?]
[ Slacking on the Sidelines: Okay, let's do it at ten.]
Qin Ze directly transferred ten points of Source of the World.
[ Slacking on the Sidelines: Is the senior in the Northern Territory?]
[ Beast Tamer: It hasn't arrived yet. Contact Qin Ze; he's in Snow City now. Just give it to him directly.]
[ Slacking on the Sidelines: European shell~]
Qin Ze has no plans to return to Sea Capital for the time being; he can send the staff over after he receives it.
[ Passerby A: I think I know who this new Hunter is now]
The random Passerby A suddenly appeared immediately attracted everyone's attention.
(Thanks to "Zheng41" for the great sword, God bless you!)
