Chapter 683 The last key

  This sea is not calm, the wind is violent, the waves are high, the thunder is bursting, and the heavy rain is majestic.

  The ghost ship sails silently in the wind and waves. In the deep night, it is quite difficult to find without looking carefully.

   This is a medieval-style Carrick sailing ship. The hull and deck are covered with seaweed and barnacles. It is black and green, as if it has just been dug out of the seabed.

  The reason why it is called a ghost ship is because there are many undead sailors on this sailing ship who are busy back and forth, manipulating the ship.

  Fang Cheng observed the sky for a while, then landed directly.

   If you want to find where the key is in this area, this ghost ship is obviously a clue.

  In fact, he still has the last key left, so he can leave this sea area and go directly to the core area.

  But Eve told him that the core area also needs a key to guide the way, otherwise he can only wander around like a headless chicken.

  So Fang Cheng still needs to find another key.

  Just hope the keys in this area haven't been taken yet.

  He landed on the deck, and the ghost sailors around him immediately stopped their movements, and all turned their heads to stare at him, with a green light in their eyes.

   On this stormy sea, the night was dark, and there was still heavy rain in the sky. Occasionally, lightning and thunder would reflect the terrifying faces of these undead sailors, which was quite infiltrating.

  Fang Cheng turned a blind eye to these undead sailors and walked directly into the ship.

  The undead sailor who was closest to him suddenly let out a roar, drew a scimitar from his waist, and slashed at the back of Fang Cheng's head.

   Before it touched it, it was bounced back by a terrifying force. The whole knife was broken into several pieces, and its rotting body was also smashed to pieces.

  Boom!

  The aura emanating from Fang Cheng's body formed a circle of shock waves visible to the naked eye, sweeping across the deck in an instant.

  The dozens of undead sailors staring at him on the deck were all smashed into pieces and blown into the sea like garbage.

  The shock wave swept away the sailboat, and also knocked away the heavy rain that was pouring down around it, creating a spherical vacuum with a diameter of hundreds of meters.

  Fang Cheng stepped into the cabin, and occasionally undead sailors jumped out to attack him along the way.

   After turning around, Fang Cheng came to the captain's room.

  Just entering the door, a cold light suddenly lit up from the darkness.

  clang!

  A sharp stabbing sword came through the air, hit Fang Cheng's chest, and was bounced back fiercely by the vector control.

  The sneak attacker was also knocked back by the rebounding force, smashed through the wooden wall of the captain's cabin with a bang, and fell into the cabin behind.

  Fang Cheng could see clearly that the attacker was an undead captain wearing a pirate cocked hat, with a one-eyed patch on his skull face, a rapier in one hand, and an iron hook in the other.

  Boom!

  The undead captain pushed away the wooden debris on his body, rushed out of the cabin, and charged at Fang Cheng again.

  A red light flashed, and the blood floating in the air instantly condensed more than a dozen spikes, piercing the undead captain back and forth, and holding him in the air.

  The undead captain struggled a few times, the green light in his eyes gradually went out, his head tilted, and he died.

   This undead captain seems to be in the same group as the undead sailors outside, and the strength shown is only A-level.

   But Fang Cheng had a strange expression on his face, because he could see the data on this guy's head.

  Name: Thomson Isaac

  Level: 70

Sex: Male

  Type: Undead

   Favorability: -10

  He is clearly an undead at the level of a legendary demon, but he deliberately shows that he has only A-level strength, and deliberately pretends to be dead.

   This is either treating Fang Cheng as blind, or as mentally handicapped.

   "Get up, don't play dead."

  Isaac remained motionless, as if he were really a dead man.

  Fang Cheng's eyes lit up red, and the sun's rays shot out suddenly, passing through Isaac's hat, and piercing through the wooden wall behind.

  The scorching rays penetrated the entire overturned ship, shot out from the stern, and flew for an unknown distance on the dark sea before disappearing.

"Um?"

  In the night, a figure noticed the fleeting ray and flew towards this side quickly.

  In the captain's room, although Isaac's body is already a skeleton with no flesh, he still seems to feel the cold sweat falling from his forehead.

  The sun's rays are as strong as the sun, and they are the great nemesis of undead creatures.

  Isaac could feel the deadly threat from the two rays passing through his hat.

   "If you continue to pretend to be dead, then I will really send you to die."

  Hearing this threatening voice, Isaac's two dark eye sockets lit up with green will-o'-the-wisps again.

  He stared at Fang Cheng's face carefully, and the will-o'-the-wisps in his eyes jumped suddenly.

  Fang Cheng asked strangely: "You know me?"

  If it was just a wildfire, Fang Cheng wouldn't feel anything unusual, but Isaac's negative affection for him suddenly changed from -10 to -1.

   This is obviously because he recognized his identity, and this change occurred.

  Isaac was silent for a while, and didn't answer whether he knew him or not, but said: "I have decided to quit the competition, hide on this ordinary ghost ship, and pretend to be an ordinary undead. I don't really want to ambush you."

   Hearing this careful excuse, he knew that he had recognized Fang Cheng's identity.

  Fang Cheng did not embarrass him, but asked: "Has the key to this area been taken away?"

  Isaac nodded: "It has been taken away. I just hid because I failed the fight and got injured."

   "was taken away?"

  Fang Cheng felt a little upset, stared at Isaac and said, "Are you lying to me?"

  Isaac was taken aback. Fortunately, the undead's emotions rarely fluctuate, and the entire face is gone, and no one will see the expression change.

   "I have already decided to withdraw from the competition. There is no need to deliberately lie to you, and it is not good for me."

   "Then do you have a key with you?"

   "If I had the key, why would I continue to hide here, I would have left this area long ago."

  Listening to Isaac's calm voice, Fang Cheng had a half-smile: "Really? I don't believe it."

   Isaac: "…"

  Fang Cheng continued: "If you really have the key, I won't **** it from you, just let me pass when you open the door, how about it?"

  Isaac was a little moved, but still whispered: "I really don't have a key, you can search for it."

   "That's what you said."

  Fang Cheng walked up directly, stretched out his hand and pressed down on Isaac's head.

  He has no time to continue talking nonsense with this skull head, and is going to use the dark consciousness to forcibly modify it.

  Since he tasted the sweetness of this ability, Fang Cheng no longer pursues to actively destroy the enemy, but chooses to use waste.

  When Isaac saw Fang Cheng's hand stretched out, he felt intense vigilance in his heart.

  With a character of this level, how could he allow a stranger to put his hand on his head at will.

  Isaac wanted to resist subconsciously, but Fang Cheng's identity made him hesitate.

   After hesitating for a while, Fang Cheng's hand was already on his skull.

  Boom!

   A loud noise suddenly sounded, suppressing the sound of rain and thunder.

  A mass of water spray tens of meters high appeared from the water surface, and directly lifted the entire ghost ship into the air.

  The ghost ship disintegrated in the air, turning into countless fragments and falling to the sea.

  Fang Cheng and Isaac jumped out of the ghost ship at the same time. Fang Cheng was suspended in the air, but Isaac couldn't fly and fell straight down.

   However, when he fell into the sea, he stepped on the water with both feet, and he didn't sink at all as the waves rose and fell.

  Neither of them cared about the scrapped ghost ship, their eyes fell on the culprit.

  It was a ghost floating in the air, wearing a black cloak, showing the outline of the head, with the shape of eye sockets and mouth, but not straight.

  A pair of long ghost claws protruded from under the cloak, and the skin seemed to have been soaked in water to rot.

   Further down is the hem of the dangling and broken cloak, and the legs are not visible at all.

  This shape is 70 to 80% similar to the dementor in Harry Potter.

  Through the thick fog, heavy rain and night, Fang Cheng could clearly see the data on the opponent's head.

  Name: Ferdinand

  Level: 75

  Gender: None

  Type: Soul-sucking ghost

   Favorability: -20

  The ghost named Ferdinand didn't look at Fang Cheng, it circled around in the air a few times, and flew over Isaac's head.

   "Isaac, I finally found you."

  Its voice is extremely hoarse and gloomy, as if metal is rubbing against each other, and the gender cannot be heard at all.

  Isaac's face became very ugly, although he had no face: "Ferdinand, I have decided to withdraw from the competition, and I am not going to pursue you for attacking me. Why are you still chasing me?"

   "Quit the competition? Quack quack!"

  Ferdinand laughed like a crow, and then stretched out his paw to Isaac: "Hand over the key, and I believe that you have really withdrawn from the competition."

  If the skin is still there, Isaac must be sweating coldly by now.

  Because he felt Fang Cheng's meaningful gaze.

   "What nonsense are you talking about?"

  Isaac couldn't help retorting: "The key is not with me at all."

  Ferdinand stared at him coldly: "Then you go to die."

  Seeing that this difficult ghost was about to attack, Isaac hurriedly shouted: "Wait!"

  He hurriedly reached into the eye socket and took out a key, which turned out to be hidden in his own head.

   "I have already told someone to give him the key, so don't pester me anymore."

   As he spoke, Isaac threw the key at Fang Cheng forcefully, and then he sank into the water and disappeared.

  Ferdinand ignored Isaac who had fled, turned around in the air, and rushed towards the key.

  Its speed was very fast, and it caught up with the thrown key in a blink of an eye, and stretched out its claws.

  At the moment when it was about to grab, the key suddenly disappeared, making it grab an empty space.

  The disappearing key appeared in Fang Cheng's hand as if teleported.

  He checked the authenticity, then put it away, and found Ferdinand staring at him with a fierce look.

  At this moment, it took a serious look at Fang Cheng's appearance for the first time.

   To be honest, apart from being handsome, there is nothing special about him.

  But in this cruel competition, being handsome can't be taken for granted.

   "Give me the key."

  It stretched out its claws to Fang Cheng: "If you don't want to die."

  Fang Cheng ignored it, turned around and left.

  Ferdinand was slightly taken aback, then rushed over ferociously, and roared, "Hand over the key."

  How much time and energy it took to finally find the key, how could it just watch this stranger take it away.

  When Ferdinand moved, countless blood floating around instantly swarmed up and directly surrounded it.

  Ferdinand pierced through suddenly and was not affected at all.

  It looks like a physical body, but it is actually a spirit body from beginning to end, and cannot be touched by matter.

  Fang Cheng's blood-based ability combines offense and defense, and is almost omnipotent in physics. His only weakness is that he cannot deal with spirit bodies.

  Ferdinand quickly caught up with Fang Cheng, stretching out his hand to grab him at a distance of tens of meters.

  The claws passed through the distance between each other in an instant, poked into Fang Cheng's body, dragged his soul out at once, and pulled it back.

  Ferdinand opened his mouth and sucked it in suddenly, forming a gust of wind, ready to **** Fang Cheng's soul into his mouth.

   "Haunted by evil spirits!"

  Ferdinand felt his body tense, and looked down, three chains locked his body tightly, making him unable to move.

  Fang Cheng's soul flew over, punched Ferdinand in the head, and gave him a concussion.

"ah!"

  Ferdinand let out a painful roar, the spirit body is immune to physical attacks, but the battle between the spirit body and the spirit body is really painful, and the level of A is real damage.

  It struggled violently, but couldn't get rid of the evil spirit's entanglement. Fang Cheng punched it on the head again, almost blowing it all over.

brush!

  Ferdinand split instantly, broke free from the haunting of evil spirits, and became three identical, surrounded Fang Cheng in the middle.

   "Hand over the key, or you will be chopped up and thrown into the sea to feed the fish."

  The three Ferdinands spoke at the same time, their fingers spread out, and their sharp claws were like sickles.

  Fang Cheng looked around, and then made a lot of ghost looks, and a dozen clones surrounded them.

  Ferdinand: "…"

   A few minutes later, Fang Cheng put his hand on the head of the dying Ferdinand, using his dark consciousness to modify its thinking and read its memory by the way.

  It turned out that Ferdinand and Isaac teamed up to deal with a sea monster holding a key, but the sea monster ran away.

  The two searched separately, and the injured sea monster fell into Isaac's hands. He wanted to take the key, but was attacked by Ferdinand, injured and fled, and then ran into Fang Cheng by accident.

  If Fang Cheng hadn’t happened to land on Isaac’s ghost ship, he might have escaped, because there are many ghost ships floating in the sea.

  …

   On the rough sea, Isaac suddenly emerged from the water.

  He did not run away, but lurked nearby, preparing to follow Fang Cheng quietly after Ferdinand was killed.

  The door opened for neither short nor long, and Isaac believed that he could take the opportunity to sneak in after Fang Cheng opened the door.

   It's just that there was no movement over there. Could it be that the battle is over so soon?

  With doubts, Isaac was about to continue diving into the sea, when he suddenly heard Ferdinand's familiar voice behind him, gnashing his teeth: "Where are you going?"

  Isaac said badly in his heart, then turned around: "The key is no longer with me, you still..."

  The words stopped abruptly before they finished speaking, because not only Ferdinand, but also Fang Cheng was behind him, looking at him kindly.

   If the skin is still there, Isaac should be sweating profusely by this time.

  He said in embarrassment: "Fang, Mr. Fang, I have decided to withdraw from the competition, this time I am serious."

   "It's okay, I also believe you this time."

  Fang Cheng smiled and said: "I quit, just come to help me."

   Isaac: "…"

   A few minutes later, Exa, who had been modified by the dark consciousness, and Ferdinand, followed Fang Cheng and left this sea area.

   Along the way, Ferdinand stared at him with a sarcasm: "You have worked hard, but you have to leave with me in the end. Why didn't you agree to my proposal at the beginning?"

  Isaac laughed apologetically. The reason why he planned to take the key alone was to eliminate Ferdinand, a competitor.

  It's a pity that in the end, he was short of money and had to sell himself to work for Fang Cheng.

  Following the guidance of the key, the three of them quickly found the door leading to the core area.

   This door stands on the surface of the sea, swaying with the waves. Behind the door is the edge of the subspace, and the sea water keeps pouring into the darkness, disappearing.

  Wait for a little longer, maybe this sea area will be drained.

  Fang Cheng opened the door with a key, stepped in, and was greeted with hot and dry air.

  On the side of the gate is a majestic ocean with strong winds, waves, heavy rain, but inside the gate is a desert with undulating hills and arid land.

  Two completely opposite environments are separated by only one door.

  Fang Cheng walked in, followed by Ferdinand and Isaac, and closed the door smoothly to block out the sound of wind, rain and waves.

   After the door disappeared, looking at the desert under the moonlight, Isaac couldn't help but said: "This is the core area? It doesn't seem to be dangerous, but the scenery is pretty good."

  He and Ferdinand didn't have a map, so they didn't know that this was the core area, or Fang Cheng took the initiative to tell them.

  "Under the calm water surface, there are often dangerous undercurrents hidden."

  Ferdinand's affection for Isaac is -100, and he couldn't help mocking him: "Only an idiot like you thinks there is no danger here."

   "Hey, I just said it casually, why do you take it seriously?"

  Isaac, who only had a skeleton head left, couldn't make a winking expression, and the ghosts in his eyes danced: "No wonder I was fooled several times. It turned out to be because of my low IQ."

  If Fang Cheng hadn’t been here, Ferdinand would have fought this skull on the spot.

  Fang Cheng ignored the two parties who were taunting each other, but took out his last key.

  The core area is a huge labyrinth. You need to find the guide stone before you can embark on the road to the throne of the undead.

  The three guide stones, guarded by three disaster-level monsters, moved irregularly in the core area.

  If you are lucky, you may encounter these three monsters when you walk casually. If you are unlucky, you can only rely on the key to lead the way.

  Fang Cheng held the key in his hand, and a vague feeling emerged in his heart, pointing to a certain direction.

  He flew in that direction, and the two ghosts who were still mocking each other hurriedly stopped talking.

   "Hey, hey, give me a hand."

  Seeing that both Fang Cheng and Ferdinand flew away, Isaac, who could not fly, jumped anxiously.

  Ferdinand glanced back at him, intending to drop the skull, but finally stretched out his claws to give him a hand.

  Through countless rolling hills and deserts, the three finally found the disaster-level monster guarding the guide stone in a deep and curved valley.

   A few days ago, I was in a bad state after caving, my mind was in a mess, and I couldn't write any deletions, deletions, deletions, or deletions.

   I will try my best to adjust, sorry.

   …

   Thanks: keepo, Ling_Mo for their rewards! (*^▽^*)
