Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 214 Screening

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

At the heart of the volcanic island, the undead Xiao Bao repeatedly drew his bow and shot arrow after arrow at lightning speed toward the third eye on the forehead of the undead named Jealousy.

However, while the undead Xiaobao was fast enough, the undead named Jealousy was even faster!
"You lowly undead, you are one of the few beings who are not worthy of my envy."

Amidst this confident and joyful roar, the undead Jealousy charged toward the undead Little Treasure with astonishing speed.

"captain!"

"All right!"

In a tacit response, an invisible net appeared out of thin air, using the undead Xiao Bao as bait to capture Jealousy.

"laugh--!"

Accompanied by a misty vapor, the large net manipulated by Cheng Lang enveloped Jealousy and tightened itself around its body.

Just then, Princess Yunlan, whose waist was still bound by the invisible whip rope, was also thrown over like a ghost. She waved her hand to summon a large number of thorns to help the rope net gain momentum, while using the rapier in her hand to stab at the third eye on Jealousy's forehead.

"Ah—" In a scream of jealousy, its eye was pierced by a dagger.

"We need to sew its eyes back up!" Yun Lan shouted as she drew her seemingly red-hot dagger.

"You come!"

Before Cheng Lang finished speaking, he had already cracked his whip, using the soft, slender tip to entangle the tip of the opponent's rapier.

"puff!"

Amidst a piercing shriek, Yun Lan swung her rapier again, the whip wrapped around its tip piercing through the eyelid of Jealousy's third eye.

Without any hesitation, Yun Lan drew her rapier, letting the whip tip that had pierced her eyelid wrap around the sword tip again, before piercing the other eyelid.

With the combined efforts of the two, Jealousy's eyes were gradually sewn shut by Cheng Lang's whip, eventually closing as he tightened the whip, and a single blood-red tear fell from its eye.

"pat"

Before the tear could hit the ground, Yun Lan, realizing something was wrong, caught it steadily with the wine glass that had just tempted her to overeat.

However, all this caution was in vain. After the drop of blood hit the wine glass, it not only disappeared, but also took the wine glass from Yun Lan's hand!
My name is Greed.

Just then, a voice came from the statue's location, and at the same time, the jealousy that Cheng Lang had been holding in the rope net vanished.

Following the sound, a small undead was standing on the statue's shoulder—it was only slightly larger than a powder keg, so much so that the wine glass that had just disappeared looked more like a large bowl in its hand.

"Captain, perhaps we can make a deal," Greed said in a pretentious tone.

"What deal?"

Cheng Lang gently flicked the whip and asked. Although he had just used the whip to help Yun Lan sew up the eyes of jealousy, as jealousy dissipated, there was nothing left on the whip.

“I will help you kill Wrath and Pride,” Greed said, “but you must swear on the heart of the ship that I will live.”

"How do you plan to survive?" Cheng Lang asked.

"Do you know what this is?" Greed asked, pointing to the statue head beside him.

Before Cheng Lang and Yun Lan could say anything, Greed answered his own question, "This is the part that Valkyrie and Poseidon abandoned."

"The parts that were abandoned?"

"To become a Valkyrie, to become a sea goddess, you must abandon us." Greed pointed around, "Those who are being punished on the volcano are projections of ourselves that have escaped from this statue."

Look at those craters; haven't they diminished considerably as you've eradicated sloth, gluttony, lust, and envy?

"How do you plan to survive?" Cheng Lang asked after looking around.

“Kill pride and rage, and let me have this statue all to myself.”

Greed said, “This is one figurehead, no, it’s two. But it needs a controller, and I’m fed up with living this self-imposed prison on this island.”

"Captain, I've killed Wrath and Pride for you. I'm willing to sign a contract never to leave this figurehead again, just please take me away from here."

At this point, his greedy words were already tinged with tears.

You are too greedy.

An angry voice spoke, and another undead statue jumped out.

"Arrogance, you kill greed, I'll deal with those two worms."

Immediately following, as the statue shrank again, another arrogant voice said, "There are two boats outside. Once we deal with greed and control these two insects, we can leave this place."

"That's right, that's right! Greed, come and die!"

With a roar of anger, the first undead to leap out charged toward Greed, and then the two undead beings began to fight.

“The undead can’t kill other undead,” Yun Lan warned. “I think there’s something fishy going on here!”

"Thank you for reminding me."

Before Cheng Lang could finish speaking, Arrogance had already drifted over slowly, holding a halberd in his hand.

Give it to me.

As Yun Lan spoke, she drew her rapier again. "Go to that statue and think of a solution."

"Are you sure?"

"certainly"

As Yun Lan spoke, she had already pointed her rapier at Arrogance, "Xiao Bao, let's die together!"

"Snapped!"

Cheng Lang slapped his forehead, too lazy to even look at the fearless Xiao Bao charging towards the arrogant undead, or Yun Lan running for her life away.

Seizing the rare opportunity, he swung his whip and wrapped it around the statue, which had shrunk several times and was now only the size of a thigh.

With a single, forceful pull, he completely ripped the statue out of the soil.

这 是
Cheng Lang stared at the lower half of the statue, momentarily lost in thought. The upper half of the statue was a combination of half a Valkyrie and half a Poseidon, but the lower half was the same—only the left and right orientations were different.

"Captain, what are you waiting for?!"

Still being relentlessly pursued by the enraged Greedy, he shouted a reminder, "Rotate the statue vertically! Return the statues at both ends to their normal positions and they will disappear."

"Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"

Cheng Lang merely glanced at the arrogant figure battling the undead Xiaobai, then calmly used his whip to entangle the pulled-out statue. After a moment's thought, Cheng Lang reached into his pocket, pulled out the blood pump he had obtained in the Elven Kingdom, and slammed it into the statue's neck!
"How does he have a blood pump?!"

Greed, arrogance, and rage cried out in unison and charged at Cheng Lang, throwing the undead Xiao Bao far away in the process.

"I not only have a blood pump, but also a little potion of lust for my spring!"

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Lang manipulated the whip tip to wrap around the neck of the other end of the statue and tried to pierce it with the sharp whip tip.

"stop!"

Amidst the greedy and terrified roars, the fiery red poison stored in Cheng Lang's whip was actually successfully injected into the statue's neck.

At the same time, the blood pump at the other end was also filled with blue blood mixed with gold.

“Plop, plop, plop!”

The last three undead fell to the ground one after another, and their bodies began to turn a strange pink color.

"Snapped!"

Cheng Lang handed the statue to Yun Lan to hold, while he himself lashed out at Greed with a whip.

In just a moment, greed split in two and vanished easily.

"No wonder they wanted to make a deal; they have no fighting ability whatsoever."

As Cheng Lang spoke, he lashed out with the whip again, striking Gao Ao's arrogant face hard.

"Snapped!"

Amidst the piercing sound of the whip, his arrogant body began to dissipate, and his eyes, once filled with arrogance, gradually softened with each lash, eventually becoming filled with pleading.

"Crack!" With another crack of the whip, arrogance vanished into nothingness.

Now you're the only one left.

Cheng Lang looked down at the man, who was covered in pink and writhing in a fit of rage.

"I want."

"Aphrodisiacs for lust are really effective," Cheng Lang deliberately misinterpreted the other person's meaning.

"I'm going to kill you!" he roared weakly in a fit of rage.

"Tell me what that statue is, and I'll give you a dignified death," Cheng Lang offered his bargaining chip.

"Greed is not wrong."

After a long while, the furious one said, "But turning vertically will release us from all our constraints, and we will become the new gods of the sea and the land."

"So it can also rotate horizontally?" Cheng Lang pressed.

“The last time this statue was rotated horizontally was by the Valkyrie,” the wrathful one replied truthfully. “Rotating it horizontally would split it in two, but we would not be affected.”

How do you want to die?

"Lend me your whip," he said with great anger and difficulty.

"No problem," Cheng Lang said, gently flicking the whip so that the other person could grasp the tip.

We are nothing but dust on the web.

Enraged, he wrapped a whip around his neck, saying, "We've been waiting for this day since Poseidon became the god of the sea; the web of fate is finally complete."

What did you say?

"puff!"

Before Cheng Lang could finish his question, the enraged man had already pulled on the whip and snapped his own neck.

Watching the smoke dissipate from the raging inferno, and then looking at the volcano that had vanished from the surrounding area, Cheng Lang finally looked at Yun Lan, who was embracing the statue.

"You are growing up, no, the island is shrinking."

As soon as Yun Lan finished speaking, the island beneath her and Cheng Lang shrank rapidly. They first saw the coastline, and then they saw Yun Ji and Shen Ba soaking in the sea.

"Captain, the treasure room has spontaneously combusted!" Yun Ji shouted, using her dagger to probe the treasure map, which had turned into flames.

In the short time it took to say that sentence, Cheng Lang and Yun Lan, who were crammed onto the island, had already spotted their respective flagships on the sea not far away.

"So that's the end?"

Yun Lan asked in surprise, "Why do I feel this is too simple?"

"No no no no."

Before Cheng Lang could speak, Yun Lan contradicted herself, saying, "Without your whip, even laziness wouldn't kill us."

"This is probably also the reason why they are too lazy to resist."

Cheng Lang looked at the whip in his hand. "This is more like..."

"filter?"

"That's right, it's more like a selection process."

Cheng Lang sighed. "In the end, the fury said that they were nothing but dust on the web of fate, and that the web of fate was finally complete."

Although he was described as furious, he spoke those words with remarkable calmness.

"But we seem to be getting closer and closer to the truth."

Yun Lan looked at the statue in her arms, which was now only about half the size of an arm, and asked, "So what is this thing?"

"Hopefully the magic mirror can give us the answer," Cheng Lang said as he pulled the blood pump off the statue.

"Magic Mirror... no, Gluttony, is he really trustworthy?" Yun Lan asked in a low voice.

"Do you have a better option?" Cheng Lang asked.

"no"

Yun Lan was speechless. "It seems we can only ask Mr. Magic Mirror for help in identifying it."

"I hope he's omniscient and omnipotent this time," Cheng Lang said absentmindedly, still savoring the last words he uttered in his rage.
