Chapter 43

The Skeleton Captain, Abundant Treasure Fish

"Ding! Crew member Moriichi's loyalty has increased (85→91)!"

"Ding! Crew member Moriji's loyalty has increased (83→89)!"

"Ding! Crew member Mori's loyalty has increased (84→88)!"

...

"Ding! Crew member Gu Lingling's loyalty has increased (83→85)!"

Just after Ye Fan unleashed a Touch of the Abyss, he received numerous notifications that his crew's loyalty had increased, which surprised him. He looked up at the Deep Sea Giant Squid.

He then understood the whole story.

Unexpectedly, his battle had been witnessed by a crowd, and his performance in battle was key to increasing the crew's loyalty.

Although increased loyalty is a good thing, Ye Fan doesn't have time to think about it right now. His Abyss Touch is on cooldown, and he has to be careful of any movement around him.

And the facts told him that being cautious was indeed the right thing to do.

Not long after Ye Fan released the Touch of the Abyss, a commotion suddenly came from the captain's cabin of the ghost ship, followed by a sound like a hard object hitting something. Before long, a skeleton wearing tattered captain's clothes walked out of the cabin in front of everyone.

It held a scimitar in its hand. Rust and decay appeared on the skeleton outside the clothing.

"More crew members have boarded!"

"It's been a long time since I've seen any new faces."

The skeleton captain pulled out a bottle of rum from who-knows-where, tilted his head back, and gulped it down. The rum dripped smoothly down his throat onto the deck, a performance that was as if he hadn't drunk anything at all.

Ye Fan was a little confused, but he still immediately accessed the other party's data panel.

Race: Undead

[Level: Extraordinary Level 3]

[Skills: Spirit Communication, Enslaving the Dead, Torturing the Spirits, Mimicking the Dead]

[Attribute Panel: Strength 436, Agility 324, Spirit 454, Constitution 473]

......

After reviewing the opponent's data panel, Ye Fan was immediately shocked. He hadn't expected that this skeleton captain's strength had reached the third level of the extraordinary realm. This should be the strongest enemy he had encountered since the squid sea monster.

Just by looking at its four-dimensional attributes, you can see just how monstrous its strength is!

Basically, each item is worth ten times its own value!

Furthermore, it possesses four skills! Each skill reflects its undead characteristics, making it not only powerful in single combat but also capable of summoning low-level undead to fight alongside it.

If we can't kill this guy as soon as possible, we might have to go through a long war of attrition.

"This guy clearly has the ability to mimic the dead, so why...did he just rush out?"

Ye Fan then looked at the skeleton captain's skills, which included the ability to mimic the dead. This skill allowed the skeleton to appear as an ordinary corpse, making it undetectable to ordinary people and undetectable by divination.

It was a perfect sneak attack... but this guy chose a very impactful way to make his entrance.

For a moment, Ye Fan was unsure whether it looked down on him or if there was something wrong with its personality.

"Come out, boys."

The skeleton captain raised his skeletal arms, and a dark green ritual array immediately appeared on the deck beneath his feet.

Then, three undead beings at the second level of transcendence were summoned out of thin air.

These summoned undead are not much different from those they just killed.

The attributes are all normal, level 2 extraordinary. You just need to wait for your Abyss Touch timer to refresh, and then you can clear the field instantly.

But at this moment, Ye Fan's target was not them, but the Skeleton Captain.

"Stay on this ship forever."

After completing its summoning, the Skeleton Captain charged towards Ye Fan and the others, wielding its scimitar with murderous intent. However, it soon met its end, a cold glint appearing on its neck as Crimson Moon, hidden in the darkness, brought down its blade.

They then cut off its head.

Rolling around.

The skull captain's head rolled off the deck, its eyes still showing surprise, as if it hadn't expected to be ambushed.

However, Ye Fan didn't give it any more time to think. He stepped forward and kicked its head into the sea. Although he didn't know what use it was, doing it was definitely better than doing nothing.

"You brat, you actually kicked my head off!"

The Skeleton Captain's cursing came from below, and his furious tone made Ye Fan realize that he had just done the right thing.

"Jiana, hold onto the skeleton captain's torso, don't let it escape."

".."

Ye Fan spoke to Jia Na beside him, saying that he was prepared to kill the skeleton captain in front of him and did not intend to let it go. After all, it was a Level 3 Extraordinary being, and the materials on its body must be of great value!

I absolutely cannot let it go.

"Yes, Captain!"

Jia Na suppressed a laugh. She hadn't expected Ye Fan to suddenly do what he just did; it was really funny.

Despite the laughter, his hands didn't stop moving. He controlled the water elements in the air, creating a simple water prison that bound the skeleton captain's steps.

Then, Fei Yue finished off the victim, leaving numerous marks on its body in a short period of time. These cuts were very deep, almost shattering its bones, but surprisingly, the wounds were slowly healing.

This made Ye Fan marvel at its tenacious vitality.

If it weren't for Scarlet Moon on my side, I really wouldn't be able to do anything to it. Normal attacks wouldn't even break its defense, let alone heal it faster than it could, not to mention it can summon undead.

The longer we delay, the more trouble we'll cause!

"Die!"

The remaining half of the skeleton captain charged towards Ye Fan, but just as it was about to strike, it was stopped by Fei Yue. Then, two of Fei Yue's clones appeared on the ship.

With the help of the main body's attacks, it was quickly taken down.

The battle went surprisingly smoothly from start to finish. The biggest reason for all of this was that the skeleton captain was too arrogant.

If it could remain silent and choose to ambush me... although the outcome would be the same, and I would definitely be stopped by Fei Yue who is guarding my side, at least it would have some effect.

"Ding! An unmanned ghost ship has been detected. Do you wish to capture it?"

Soon, a message pop-up appeared on Ye Fan's end. Without much thought, he chose to occupy the territory.

"Ding! Congratulations on becoming the first survivor in the regional channel to capture the Ghost Ship! You have received the following rewards: Ship Enhancement Card x1, Superior Level 1 Ghost Fish x50, Deep Sea Treasure Chest x1!"

"Ding! The results of this occupation will be broadcast to all channels!"

The moment the reward was announced, news spread throughout the entire regional channel that Ye Fan had taken control of the Ghost Ship. This news caused a huge sensation as soon as it was released!
