Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 324 Curse Skills (Subscribe~)

Perhaps because Su Ming's attitude was too resolute, Brof made up his mind to fight to the death, and did not reveal any information until his health bar was emptied.

Leo kicked Brof's body away and angrily questioned Su Ming:

"It's all because of you. Even if you wanted to kill him, couldn't you be a little flexible and give him some hope? Now, there's no news about the Ghost Pirates, and Ms. Leir can't get her family treasure."

Su Ming found that what Leo said was right. In this case, it would be better to deceive Brof. He pursed his lips and said:
"I'll lie next time."

Although he said this, Su Ming didn't know if he could do better next time... In short, he would probably take a small step in this direction first.

"What should we do this time?" Leo asked relentlessly.

"Ask the crew, idiot." Su Ming didn't like the aggressive Leo. After retorting, he ignored Leo, walked aside, bent down and picked up a skill book on the ground.

During the process of killing Brof, two NPCs, Leo and Leir, were involved, and the drop rate was reduced by 70%. Su Ming did not expect that Brof would drop something.

"I guess all my luck from fishing just now must have gone to waste on this, hehe."

Lost Sailing Skill Book: After using it, you will learn lost sailing and will be cursed by an unknown curse.

"It's actually a cursed universal skill book."

Su Ming was slightly surprised. On the forum, he would occasionally see some players with non-professional general skills. Most of them were very weak and auxiliary, similar to his "flying skills".

Once general skills become powerful, they are often accompanied by some special conditions, either requiring additional items to cast, or having a debuff attached.

Curse is a type of Debuff. It is permanent until a solution is found. It can be said to be the most serious type of Debuff.

However, Su Ming had witnessed the power of the Mysterious Ship. If it were not for the existence of Leo, an NPC who had been chasing the ghost pirate ship, the ship of the Mysterious Ship would be almost invincible.

"Sister Venus will continue her adventure at sea. This skill I learned will be of great help to her." Su Ming thought, "Besides, a curse often represents a task. If the curse can be lifted, it can be turned into a reward."

For players who are "immortal and immortal", most curses are equivalent to a quest chain, so the price of curse skill books on the market is ridiculously high.

Thinking of this, Su Ming slapped the skill book and learned the mysterious ship navigation.

Phantom Ship (LV1): Can only be activated on a ship. After activation, the ship will be surrounded by sea ghosts within 5 yards, +75% sailing speed, and block flying props and magic outside the fog. Consumption: 1000 magic points/second. Cooldown: 20 minutes.

The first-level navigation skills that Su Ming learned from Leir could only increase the speed of the ship by 10%, which was completely defeated by the mysterious sailing skill.

After learning the skill, a ghost mark with a pirate hat appeared on the back of Su Ming's right hand.

Su Ming raised his hand, and three lines of text appeared on the mark:
Curse of the Deep Sea - Ghost: You are a ghost on the sea, more vulnerable to attacks by sea monsters, and setting foot on land will weaken your power.

When in water: +15% movement speed, +15% critical strike chance, +15% critical strike damage.

On land: -15% movement speed, -15% damage dealt.

The curse message lasted for about 3 seconds before it twisted into a ball of black ink and then reorganized into a warning-like text:

"Boy, you are not a member of the Ghost Pirates. When we find you, we will make you one of us and let you drift on the ocean forever!"

Su Ming stared at the line of text and thought:
"Is this a hint for the task of removing the curse?"

This line of text also lasts for about 3 seconds, and then turns into a Buff introduction. After that, the two will switch in turn, and Su Ming will ignore it for the time being.

The positive and negative effects of this curse have little impact on Su Ming. He is a beast tamer, and most of the damage is caused by pets...

After learning the skills, Su Ming, like Leir and Leo, went to capture the escaped pirate members and began to inquire about the news of the "Ghost Pirates" and "Ancestors' Glory".

After asking around on the deck and finding no one knew any useful information, Su Ming tied up these pirate NPCs and notified Venus to come and take over.

Although these pirates all have red names and can be killed, they are different from ordinary monsters. They are NPCs and will not refresh, so it is better to capture them and turn them in for quests.

One pirate could be exchanged for 40 or 50 gold coins, but killing him directly would only earn him one copper coin...

All virtual games do not encourage players to massacre NPCs on a large scale, but previous games directly set important and repeated NPCs to be invincible, while Fate is completely open.

All the pirates were tied to the mast, and Dandan was flying in the air watching them. Although Dandan was a young dragon, he was still a deterrent to the pirates.

"Dandan, keep an eye on them. I'll go to the cabin to take a look." Su Ming said.

"Okay, Master, go ahead~"

Su Ming touched Dandan's head and walked down the cabin.

The Lost Pirates were a well-known pirate group nearby, and their ship was actually a small dungeon. After entering the cabin, several treasure chests appeared in the aisle. Su Ming opened them and took out the equipment inside, thinking:

"We can distribute these equipment to the guild members on Sister Venus' ship. It seems that there is nothing to gain from landing on the island."

There are not many pirates in the cabin, and they are all hiding, making them difficult to find.

Riel and Leo were also searching room by room, but their efficiency was not very high.

Su Ming searched several rooms but found nothing. When he squatted down to open the treasure chest, he remembered that when the game treasure chest was refreshed, there was usually danger next to it, usually a monster, and occasionally a trap.

He stepped back, opened the door next to the treasure chest, searched carefully inside, and finally lifted the board of a bed and found a pirate inside.

Su Ming caught him and asked:

"Did you know that your Lost Pirates went to a small island and stole an iron box?"

The pirate shook his head, then nodded.

"Do you know this or not?" Su Ming asked.

"I know, but if I tell you, will you let me go?"

Su Ming wanted to say no, but thinking about what happened just now, he scratched his face with a finger, looked away, and said hesitantly:

"I think... I guess."

"Okay, then I tell you, you have to let me go." After getting Su Ming's acknowledgement, the pirate began to tell Su Ming what he knew: "The iron box was taken away by the boss. He went to the mysterious sea to trade with 'Scerda'."

"Who is Scerda?"

"He is a corpse controller, a monster from the formless demon clan."

When the pirates talked about the Formless Clan, Su Ming had some impression of it. When he went to attend a dance with Sister Venus before, an assassin from the Formless Clan showed up. He had an octopus face, and the deep-sea series equipment was also dropped from the Formless Demon.

"Where is he?"

"I don't know, but the second in command's room should have his nautical chart."

"Do you know any other news?"

The pirate shook his head.

"Really? Don't lie to me."

The pirate pondered and said:

"I also know that after the boss completes the deal, he will probably attend the Pirate Conference."

"What is the Pirate Congress?"

"It's a gathering of all pirate groups, usually organized by the Pirate King, but the pirates haven't had a unified king for hundreds of years."

"Then why is it being held again?"

"Because the Gemini stars of the ocean have reappeared, it is said that whoever can get the Gemini stars will become the king of the ocean. Everyone should go to grab them." The pirate said, "I have told you everything I know, can you let me go?"

Su Ming hesitated for a moment, nodded, and released his grip on the pirate's shoulders.

Looking at the ecstatic pirates who were about to flee, Su Ming began counting down from "5" in his mind, while holding a bottle of Swiftness Potion in his hand:
"Let you run for 5 seconds, then catch you back..."

However, when the count reached "2", the pirate bumped into Leir at the door. Leir swept him back into the room with a sword. Seeing Su Ming, she asked:
"Did you gain anything?"

Su Ming nodded and told Leir what the pirate had just told him.

"You said you would let me go!" the pirate shouted at Su Ming.

Su Ming raised his hands, looked at Leier and said:

"I didn't catch it, it was Sister Leier who caught it."

Lei'er looked puzzled, and Su Ming leaned close to her ear and whispered to her what had just happened.

Leier smiled and ruffled Su Ming's hair, then returned to a serious expression, threw a rope to the pirate, and asked:
"Do you want me to tie you up or do you want me to tie you up yourself?"

The pirate knew he had been deceived and there was no hope of escape, so he tied himself up...
