Chapter 42

The Living Dead, A Bountiful Harvest

"Arrested? Don't be ridiculous. What would happen if you were captured by these ghost ship creatures? Would you die?"

"I don't know. After that guy sent the message, he stopped replying. Although he doesn't look dead from the profile picture, being caught is probably not a good thing."

"The only thing to say is that if you don't plan to board these ghost ships, you must get away from them as soon as possible, or the consequences could be dire."

"Wow, these ghost ships are so fast! They feel like they're going 100 knots! We can't shake them off at all!"

Looking at the comments on the regional channel about those who had encountered the Ghost Ship, Ye Fan had a general understanding of the Ghost Ship's situation. It was moving very fast, and... it would actively attack players.

It looks just like what was described in the original announcement.

However, these threats were nothing to Ye Fan. After all, even if those ghost ships wanted to attack his Deep Sea Giant Squid, they couldn't break through his defenses. And even if they did encounter it, they couldn't board the ship because of the novice rules.

It's fair to say that if the enemies on the ghost ship were stronger than him, he could simply choose not to fight... and he wouldn't be in any danger.

However, for the others who were preparing to board and occupy the ghost ship, there was no way out. If they couldn't win, the price would be death.

After briefly glancing at this information, Ye Fan checked the regional channel again to see if anyone had boarded the ghost ship. After observing for a while, he actually found someone.

"Don't get on the ship! There's a bunch of undead on the ghost ship. They're all at level two of the extraordinary realm. Normal weapons can't kill them at all."

"Most of our guild members are dead; only I and a few others escaped... Remember, whatever you do, don't board the ship, or you'll face certain death!"

"Transcendent Level 2? Is it that strong? I can't even beat a Transcendent Level 1 murloc, let alone a Transcendent Level 2 undead."

"Has the power of an entire guild been destroyed? We individuals shouldn't even think about trying to extort money from them; the best course of action is to get away as quickly as possible."

Looking at the information released by the survivor who had just boarded the ghost ship, Ye Fan immediately understood: Level 2 Extraordinary! This level was like a boss to other survivors, but for him, it was not a big deal at all.

After all, both he and Feiyue possessed extraordinary level three power, which was enough to crush... the ghost ship.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Ye Fan closed the regional channel. He then prepared to board the ghost ship to see if he could obtain the reward for being the first to occupy it.

Soon, the Deep Sea Giant Squid arrived near the ghost ship. Just as it reached a distance of less than 10 nautical miles, the ghost ship that had appeared on the surface of the sea began to consciously turn its bow and rush towards Ye Fan at full speed.

With this two-way approach, Ye Fan quickly observed the situation on the ghost ship.

A detailed introduction to the ghost ship immediately popped up in front of me.

[Opportunity Event: Ghost Ship]

[Description: This is a ship that travels in the spirit world and only appears on the sea under rare circumstances.]

[Warning: There are a large number of undead with strength reaching level two of the Extraordinary Realm on board. Your current strength will put your life in danger if you rashly board the ship.]

...

Looking at the group of undead on the ghost ship's deck, Ye Fan confirmed that their strength was roughly at the second level of the Extraordinary Realm. He hadn't yet found any beings exceeding that level. Following Zhou Wangshu's pen, he embarked on an adventure in the novel "Ocean Survival: I Have a God-Level Choice System!" If that was all the strength they had, he could choose to board the ship.

"Hizuki, Gana, let's get ready to board the ship."

"Judas, you stay here and guard the ship, ready to receive us at any time."

After thinking it over, Ye Fan decided not to bring Judas and the others onto the ship. Although their strength had reached the second level of the extraordinary realm, they did not have strong offensive skills. They were just empty-handed with the four-dimensional attributes of the second level of the extraordinary realm.

If we were to actually fight this group of living dead, we might not be able to win.

"Yes, Captain."

Judas and the others nodded slightly, obeying Ye Fan's orders.

As the two ships collided, the ghost ship, which was noticeably smaller, was violently shaken. Although the impact was significant, it was far from sinking the ship.

"Boarding."

With Jia Na's help, Ye Fan leaped onto the deck, and Fei Yue followed behind. As soon as she boarded the ship, she disappeared into the shadows. Although he couldn't see her, he could feel her always around him.

As long as her safety is threatened, Fei Yue will definitely show herself immediately.

"roar!"

A roar came, and several undead walked forward with twisted steps, their mouths dripping with filthy poison and their bodies reeking of rotting flesh.

Ye Fan gave the order, and Jia Na immediately conjured several water arrows. After aiming at the undead on the deck, she fired them all at once. These water arrows were quite powerful and could basically pierce through the undead's skulls.

Unfortunately, they couldn't be killed and had to be attacked several more times.

"Touch of the Abyss".

Seeing this, Ye Fan raised his left hand without hesitation. With a terrifying roar, several squid tentacles were summoned, instantly killing all the undead on the deck.

They'll either be crushed to death on the spot or thrown into the deep sea.

It can be said that it had an immediate effect, and its power was absolutely overwhelming!

This scene, witnessed by everyone aboard the Deep Sea Giant Squid, caused quite a stir, leaving everyone deeply shocked.

"What was that just now...? That was amazing!"

Gu Lingling leaned against the railing of the boat, witnessing the shocking scene up close, and gained a completely new understanding of Ye Fan's strength.

Even among all the survivors, there are very few, if any, who can rival him in strength!

"Such immense power! That young captain is truly formidable. I never imagined that even the legendary ghost ship of the sea couldn't subdue it!"

"Yes, that's a story I've heard since I was a child. Every now and then, a few ghost ships would drift by at sea, carrying strange people who were dead but not stiff. I never thought these were all true."

"Captain, you are truly awe-inspiring!"

Mori and the others were also deeply impressed by Ye Fan's strength, expressing their shock repeatedly, and their hearts were filled with even greater admiration for Ye Fan!

What is the most scarce resource in this sea area?

Food? Shelter?

None of those. The most important thing is stability, and to achieve stability, one must possess immense strength.

Ultimately, it all comes down to strength!

I'm currently reading Chapter 42, "The Living Dead," on Cola Novels, and I'm finding it incredibly rewarding and completely engrossed.
