Moritz said in a complicated tone, "Don't think that just because you wished me well, I'll thank you!"

"Thanks anyway."

Leo's lips curled up slightly. This old man was still a stubborn arrogance. But that's how Germans are. They seem rigid on the surface, but they're the craziest people in private.

"I am a bard, and I have witnessed the hero fighting the dragon in the novel. How could I not participate in it?"

"Don't disappoint me, or you'll end up inside the snake demon's belly."

Moritz grinned: "Of course not!"

With that, Moritz jumped off the deck and rushed toward the serpent demon.

The divine golden light blessed him, allowing him to walk on the sea as if it were flat ground.

Wugensheng asked in surprise, "How can he walk on the sea? Does he have such strong control?"

According to his observation, Moritz did not use any means of water manipulation, nor did he have any equipment to control water.

Huang Yu pondered, "This should be the ability of the Paladin school. So-called heroes always seem to have divine assistance during battle, and can do a series of incredible things."

"For example, narrowly evading enemy attacks, walking on water as if it were flat ground, being seriously injured but not dying due to an enemy's mishap, etc..."

"Do as you please. The stronger your fighting spirit and the stronger the enemies you challenge, the stronger you will become."

"Heh, there must have been some magical techniques involved..."

"However, this state should not last. Once Moritz's willpower is exhausted, he should no longer be able to maintain the state of walking on the sea."

Wugensheng's lips twitched slightly: "This school of thought is really shameless. If I think I can do it, then I definitely can."

In the distance, the waves surged.

Moritz was already locked in combat with the sea serpent demon.

Ding!

Moritz's longsword trailed like a phantom, resembling a crescent moon, and slashed fiercely at the sea serpent's scales, leaving a bloody gash.

The sea serpent demon was also enraged, churning the sea and spewing out thick poisonous mist, the pitch-black fog filling the sky, trying to drag Moritz directly into the sea to poison him to death.

Zhang Zhiwei said calmly, "Judging from the situation, Moritz can't beat that sea serpent demon."

"A single sword strike only creates such a small wound. To a snake demon, it's like a human thumb being cut – insignificant."

"And this is at sea, the serpent demon's home turf..."

Huang Yu laughed and said, "That's Moritz's goal. He deliberately puts himself in danger, turning the impossible into the possible, so that he can break through the limits of mortals."

Leo explained, "I've also heard of the German paladin school, but there aren't many people practicing it anymore because it's too dangerous."

"We must deliberately put ourselves in life-or-death situations, break through our limits, and gain a significant increase in strength in order to find a glimmer of hope."

"If you can't break through, then you're doomed."

Zhang Zhiwei sighed, "Let's just call it a method of cultivating the mind and body, it's just too extreme."

For some reason, Huang Yu thought of the Tang Sect's Dan Shi technique.

The breakthrough process is the same: either you succeed, or you fail and die.

But Dan Shi was even more extreme. At least the paladin faction had the possibility of being rescued by others, but Dan Shi couldn't even be saved and died painfully.

Huang Yu relaxed and casually looked at the battle in the distance. The towering waves kept surging in, but they were all blocked by the reversed direction.

He planned to save Moritz if he failed the challenge and was about to die.

After all, he was my business partner, and we had spent so much time together that we had developed some feelings for each other.

As time went on, the golden light around Moritz dimmed, and his movements became increasingly stiff, creating a perilous situation.

Several times, Moritz was nearly dragged to the bottom of the sea and swallowed by the serpent demon.

"Well, it's almost there."

Huang Yu stretched out his right hand, and the reversed magnetic field silently spread from under the sea surface, intending to kill the sea serpent demon directly at the critical moment.

Judging from the current situation, Moritz is exhausted and only his willpower is holding him up. He probably can't defeat the sea serpent demon.

However, just as the snake demon was about to bite off Moritz's head and Huang Yu was about to make his move, a dazzling golden light erupted from Moritz's body.

The next moment, a sword light as round as the moon flashed, and the sea serpent demon's head was directly cut in half.

Pfft!

Blood gushed out, turning the sea into a sea of ​​blood.

"Holy crap, is this even possible?!"

Everyone stared in disbelief at Moritz's sudden surge in power, his aura growing several times stronger and still increasing.

"I never imagined that such a technique could actually allow one to break through in the heat of battle..."

Gu Qiting sighed slightly, thinking that all of these cultivators had acquired their skills through hard work and accumulation over time.

These Western methods are indeed extreme, pursuing breakthroughs in a short period of time and seeking overwhelming power.

Huang Yu shook his head and said, "You only saw his breakthrough in battle, but you didn't see that he might have been honing his skills in private. He just used the life-or-death crisis to unleash his full potential."

Splash!

After Moritz killed the snake demon, his momentum gradually subsided, and he plummeted towards the seabed. Huang Yu then used the Reversal of Eight Directions technique to pull him back onto the ship.

Moritz lay on the deck, seawater soaking his entire body, panting heavily, clearly exhausted.

It seems that he did break through, but the energy consumed in the battle could not be replenished, so he only lasted for a moment before he couldn't go on.

However, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the sea serpent demon was killed.

Leo, in particular, visibly relaxed: "Thankfully, no major disaster has occurred. If I had caused any injuries or deaths, that would have been my fault."

The bard's greatest fear was taking on responsibility, especially responsibility related to his life; he felt he simply couldn't bear it.

Huang Yu shook his head and said, "You guys seem to be getting a little too excited."

Zhang Zhiwei and the others asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Who said that only one snake was attracted to the sea monster?"

Huang Yu pointed into the distance, and faintly, more and more breaths were gathering, all of which were far more powerful than the sea serpent from before.

Everyone's expression changed drastically in an instant.

Immediately, Huang Yu also gasped. The demonic beast had no effect on him, but it seemed that something strange had appeared again.

"That's... a ship?!"

A massive object slowly approached, surrounded by numerous demonic beasts that seemed to be protecting and following their emperor.

Leo leaned against the railing, looking forward. "Wait?! How did that thing get attracted here too?"

Huang Yu asked, "Do you know him?"

"A ghost ship...a ​​ghost ship that has roamed the seas for hundreds of years!"

Chapter 217 The Strange Ghost Ship, the Giant Octopus

A huge wooden sailboat slowly approached, about 200 meters long and 50 meters wide, and was entirely vermilion in color, with a golden dragon head and animal head carved on the bow.

Huang Yu looked puzzled. Why was the style of this ghost ship so strange?

It was nothing like the Western ghost ship style he remembered; it was more like a Chinese style...

A dragon head was carved on the bow, and the whole ship was red; it seems only Chinese ships would do something like that.

He asked carefully, "Leo, tell me in detail about that ghost ship. What exactly happened? You seem very afraid of it."

Leo swallowed hard. "I also read about it in the family records. Around the fifteenth century, a ghost ship suddenly appeared at sea and would randomly attack ships."

"Not only that, but the ghost ship is also guarded by many powerful sea monsters that ordinary ships simply cannot deal with."

"Even using guns and cannons cannot pose a threat to the ghost ship."

"The key point is that once you are killed by a ghost ship, your soul will be imprisoned on the ghost ship forever, enslaved by it until death!"

Huang Yu murmured, "The 15th century?"

He turned to look at Zhang Zhiwei and the others, and found that they also looked puzzled.

"Did you notice it too? The shape of that ship seems to resemble an ancient Chinese vessel..."

Gu Qiting stroked his chin and pondered, "In the 15th century, which was the early Ming Dynasty, Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean took place."

"Hey, could this be one of the treasure ships left behind by Zheng He during his voyages to the Western Ocean?"

"But how did it become a ghost ship?"

When Leo heard this, he was also slightly taken aback. According to Huang Yu and the others, could the ghost ship that had plagued the Western maritime community for hundreds of years really be the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty?

He shook his head and continued to recount the information he knew:

"For centuries, the European supernatural community has launched campaigns to hunt down ghost ships, but the ghost ships seem to have their own wisdom, avoiding powerful enemies and only targeting lone merchant ships."

"Without the help of cannons, even powerful superhumans cannot deal with so many sea monsters. If they are not careful, they will be killed by the ghost ship and become its slaves."

"If you want to actively search for ghost ships, it seems that ghost ships do not exist in this world, and you can't even find a trace of them... It seems that they really are like ghosts, wandering on the ocean, specifically hunting down lone ships."

"Later, the European supernatural community gradually gave up on the siege of the ghost ships, since the losses caused each year were not much, only about a dozen ships."

"In modern times, with the development of technology, ghost ships have gradually disappeared and have even become a legend passed down by word of mouth rather than a real threat."

Leo gave a wry smile: "I didn't expect that the hatred of Mephisto's followers would attract the ghost ship as well."

"I'm so sorry to you all."

After listening to Leo's words, Huang Yu also gained a basic understanding of the ghost ship.

Europe couldn't solve the problem of the ghost ships, so they just let it go. Anyway, the losses weren't significant. So many people die at sea every year; they just consider it bad luck.

Hey, I didn't expect Huang Yu and his group to be so unlucky this time. The spell cast by the Hell Church believers actually summoned the ghost ship.

Boom!

Wave after wave crashed as the ghost ship drew near, and many sea monsters revealed their true forms.

Sea turtles, dolphins, killer whales, seagulls, whales, crabs, lobsters, clownfish, tuna, jellyfish, squid...
