Chapter 887 The Ghost Ship Appearing in the Black Mist

"Is Kukanid of the Abyss about to appear?"

The clear blue sky suddenly turned into a raging storm in an instant, and the previously calm sea suddenly became a turbulent sea.

Just as their pirate ship was suddenly shrouded in mist, Seiya, Sun, and the others on board immediately drew their weapons and went on high alert.

Information about "Kukanid of the Abyss" is extremely scarce. However, both Seiya and Sun are quite clear that if they are fighting at sea, their most important task at the moment is not to defeat Kukaned.

Instead, they needed to ensure that their ships would not be capsized by waves or attacks from the other side.

As mentioned before, they cannot fight at sea without special means.

Players can also enter a drowning state. If they lose their last foothold at sea, not only will they be killed by the unique monster Kukanid, but even a few shark monsters can take them down.

After all, when you're in the water, speed and reaction advantages come into play.

However, just as the pirate ship was completely engulfed in the black mist, Seiya and his companions were surprised to find that what appeared before them was not "Kukanid of the Abyss" at all, but a ghost ship.

As their pirate ship approached the ghost ship, many monsters resembling fish-men zombies suddenly spawned on the ship and began attacking Seiya and his companions.

The merman zombies weren't particularly strong or powerful. Experts like Seiya, Sun, and Panhilgon were no match for them, and even a nobody like Mord could easily defeat them.

Although the monsters that appeared were weak, the ghost ship was like an endless monster-spawning zone. No matter how many monsters Seiya and Sunra killed, the fish-men zombies kept appearing one after another.

Even worse, as time went on, the spawn rate of the merfolk zombies increased, not only in number but also in level.

Seiya and Sun were as relaxed as ever, as were Panhilgon and Seka-0, but Rust and Molde, who were of lower rank, were clearly starting to struggle.

As the number and level of the fish-man zombies gradually increased and became stronger, the pirate NPCs on Seiya's side began to die one after another.

Scrooge, who had always called himself a great pirate, had lost his previous confidence and was now hiding in a corner, trembling with fear.

"Sun Le, let's go check out the ghost ship."

Seeing that the monsters' respawn rate was gradually exceeding their killing rate, Seiya, after slicing a fish-man zombie in two, took the initiative to suggest something to Sun beside him.

Boarding the eerie ghost ship under such circumstances is undoubtedly quite risky.

However, Seiya and his group currently have no other choice.

Although the "Kukanid of the Abyss" has not appeared, this ghost ship that appeared without warning is undoubtedly part of the unique storyline.

If they don't choose to risk boarding the ghost ship, the fish-men zombies will keep spawning at an accelerated rate until they eventually drown their pirate ship completely, leaving them with no chance of survival.

"There doesn't seem to be anything special about this ghost ship."

Seiya and Sun Raku, who jumped from the pirate ship to the ghost ship, were both mentally prepared to encounter unknown dangers.

However, it wasn't until they boarded the ship that they discovered that the so-called ghost ship, apart from being a bit dilapidated, was actually nothing special.

"No, haven't you noticed? Since we boarded the ghost ship, the number of monsters spawning seems to have decreased. No! To be precise, the monster spawn rate has changed."

Upon hearing Seiya's words, Sun continued to slaughter the fish-men zombies on the ship while observing the patterns of change.

A few minutes later, Seiya and Sunra, exchanging glances, seemed to have simultaneously discovered the monster's respawn pattern.

“Holy Lord, Sun Le, how is the situation on your end?”

"Are you two dead or not? If you are, please let us know."

Just as Seiya and Sun discovered some clues, Panhilgon's voice came from the pirate ship.

The two men familiar with Panhirgon ignored the scheming woman's teasing and shouted back, "Stop killing those murloc zombies! We've discovered the monster spawn pattern on the ghost ship!"

Only murloc zombies killed on the ghost ship will truly die and disappear; murloc zombies killed outside the ghost ship will spawn on the ghost ship in double numbers.

Upon hearing the pattern discovered by Seiya and Sun, Panhilgon and the others on the pirate ship also showed expressions of sudden realization.

No wonder the monsters kept multiplying as they were killed, but their respawn rate stabilized after Seiya and Sun boarded the ghost ship.

It turns out that Seiya and Sun's monster-killing speed on the ghost ship was on par with their speed on the pirate ship.

Therefore, the double refresh was negated by Seiya and his group, and the number of monsters remained unchanged, neither increasing nor decreasing.

"If that's the case, then as long as we all board the ghost ship and kill the monsters, wouldn't we be able to take down these fish-man zombies quickly?"

As Rust spoke, he jumped directly onto the ghost ship and fired multiple rockets, instantly killing several fish-man zombies.

And just as Seiya and Sun had said before, with her kills, the number of monsters that spawned decreased again.

"You all should come over here quickly. If you stay on the pirate ship, some fish-men zombies will attack you."

"If you don't fight back, you'll just keep taking hits. But if you take them out, it'll increase our workload."

Upon hearing Rust's words, Molde and Seka-0 jumped onto the ghost ship without hesitation.

Panhilgon was initially hesitant because she had been secretly observing and protecting the NPC Skullwood.

In Panhilgon's view, just like Setsuna, Skullwood, whose AI is clearly superior to that of ordinary NPCs, should not simply help players trigger unique storylines.

However, just as Panhilgon was hesitating about whether to board the ghost ship, Skullwood, who had been trembling in the corner, suddenly shouted out of character and jumped onto the ghost ship with a long knife in hand.

"I'm not afraid at all... I, Scrooge Wood, am a great pirate just like my father!"

Panhilgon, whose primary objective had always been to protect Scroogewerf, was stunned for a moment when he saw the other party rushing towards the ghost ship, but could only click his tongue and follow.
