Chapter 5 Boarding the Advance
The sky gradually darkened, Ethan and Philip were always standing on the deck observing the location of the ghost ship. From the afternoon when the sun began to set, Ethan noticed that the ghost ship was slowly approaching his ship. At the other party's speed, the two ships would meet when the sun completely sets.
“Have a certain amount of wisdom.”
If you consider the factors of time and place, you will not be like a purely brainless undead, and enemies with wisdom are not so easy to deal with.
After a period of buffering, Philip calmed down. He kept observing Ethan, for what reason, this young man was so calm? It seemed that he did not take the advance ship, which might have become a ghost ship, seriously.
"Is it ignorance?" He himself denied this possibility. Look at the boat under his feet. Will a truly ignorant young man have such a great boat?
Let's take a look at the direction Ethan came from, which was the passage to the Barren Sea. This young man must have just arrived in this area, which also explains why he had never heard of such a young adventurer before.
"So, is it absolute confidence in one's own strength?"
He has also seen many such people, and each of them has absolute confidence in their own strength. Even their captain is also full of confidence.
That kind of confidence attracted countless people to join his ship, and made the Forward a ship with a reputation, but it was still wiped out on the strange ghost ship.
"Maybe, I should remind this young man."
Philip had realized that the ghost ship was not going to let anyone go, but he was unhappy to wait for death and was easily killed by a group of undead. He would do his best to resist and let the damn undead know that the crew on their Advance had no cowards and that if we wanted to kill us, we would have to pay the price.
"Captain Ethan."
"I know what you want to say, mate Philip." I haven't been together for a long time, but Ethan has seen that mate Philip is a very good person, very kind, and has not shown an old-fashioned look to himself, a young man, to give him a good look, so Ethan has a good impression of him: "Believe me, I still have some means to do things like ghosts."
The ways in which the undead and dead creatures exist are between reality and illusion, which is the most trouble for ordinary people. Many common and common fighting methods that they are used to cannot affect the ghosts, and the attack modes that the undead are good at are mainly energy and spiritual attacks, but what Ethan is most afraid of is these two attack methods.
If it is a powerful undead, Ethan should be wary of it, but the news received from Philip and his observation over the past half day, the undead opposite him has definitely not reached that level and is still within the range that Ethan can suppress.
"I hope so."
Who would die if he could survive? Hearing that Ethan had a way to deal with the dead, even though he felt that his vitality was still not high, Philip still ignited hope for survival.
Sean and Stephen also heard this, and even consciously helped Ethan do some chores, hoping that Ethan could maintain enough energy and wait until the night to deal with the evil spirits.
After getting enough food and water, and resting for most of the day, the condition of these people has recovered a lot, and it is their best condition in a short period of time, and then quietly waits for the undead to appear.
"It's getting foggy."
As soon as the sun set below the sea level, mist rose inexplicably on the surrounding sea surface. The thick fog affected everyone's sight, but it allowed everyone to see the ghost ship approaching little by little.
“Is psychological oppression?”
A ghost ship actually understands psychological warfare? Is it a long-term hunting experience or is it done on purpose? If it is the latter, perhaps this ghost ship is not as simple as a group of undead.
“Everything is ready.”
While Ethan spoke, he reached out to smear his chest. His equipment would usually be worn on his neck in the form of a pendant and would be covered inside the clothes instead of being directly lit outside.
In addition to being able to keep it confidential, Ethan can also feel the energy of the space above it closer, so that he can contact and analyze the mysteries of space anytime and anywhere.
It is also very convenient when used. The casual smearing action is more of a "ritual" of concentration. Whenever the pendant that is close to the body is in exchange for the order from his mental power, he will change his clothes.
The wide cloak with a hood and the clothes made of fabrics for several people, the combat belt at the waist and the magic wand held in their left hand made Ethan, who was originally very ordinary, show a completely different posture and temperament. The energy fluctuations released by the equipment on his body vaguely made Philip, the experienced first mate, amazed him.
"All these... are magic stone equipment?"
In fact, it is magic equipment, but there are energy fluctuations. The magic stone equipment in this world is more familiar with. No one has ever heard of magic.
Looking at the ship beneath her feet, seeing Ethan, who was emitting energy fluctuations all over her body, Philip finally knew where the young man's confidence came from.
"Very strong strength...Is the adventurer of the Barren Sea already so terrifying?"
Philip is not the only one who "knows the goods". Stephen and Sean also noticed what Ethan's equipment meant? Both of them had a desire for life, and they also felt the hope of survival.
The magic equipment created by Ethan would not release such obvious fluctuations. He did this on purpose to increase confidence for these people.
Otherwise, everyone would have a desperate intention, and he would not be able to save him even if he wanted to save him. Although there was no danger, there was a "song and heroic" plot that Ethan would definitely not bear.
He showed some of his strength to make them understand that 'thing is not that bad. Just watch me perform quietly. Don't do anything stupid!'. At that time, not only will it not be able to help, but it may also cause trouble for him.
The two slightly younger ones who had no understanding and had amazing experience and experience came up with Philip, so he glanced at Ethan more and gave him a look of "Don't worry" to let Ethan know that he would not do stupid things, and at the same time he would also look at his two subordinates to prevent them from going crazy suddenly.
Seeing that Philip understood his meaning, Ethan was finally able to wait quietly for the arrival of the ghost ship. After a while, the ghost ship had already stopped beside the Goddess of Dawn. What's even more strange is that the strong sea breeze just now disappeared. The Goddess of Dawn, which had no wind, slowly stopped and finally steadily parked on the quiet sea surface like a mirror.
Ethan walked to the console, lowered the anchor and lowered the sails, and let the Goddess of Dawn be completely stopped before he walked to the side of the ship.
"I suddenly felt that the IQ of these undead was not very good."
Are you afraid that others will not be wary of being wary? Of course, it is also possible that the undead think that they have eaten Ethan, so it doesn’t matter whether they are wary of being wary or not.
"I hope you can always think so."
Ethan took the pedal and connected the two steadily parked boats, walked past the pedal with great strides, and came to the deck of the ghost ship.
Philip and his wife did not stay on the Goddess of Dawn, one of them avoided suspicion: after all, this place was Ethan's ship, and after Ethan got off the ship, they were still on it, and there was a suspicion of stealing the ship.
At the same time, they also knew that only by staying by Ethan was safe enough. Staying here alone might have to experience the previous nightmare.
When they arrived at the familiar and unfamiliar Forward, Stephen and Sean both held the weapons provided by Ethan. The weapons were all stocked on the Goddess of Dawn. Some ordinary weapons were equipped before going to sea, with a wide variety of them, which was convenient for Ethan to exercise regularly.
Of course he couldn't use it himself. In addition to the magic wand held in his left hand, there was also a sword hilt hanging around his waist that could release a transparent energy blade. Ethan was very unconventional and named the weapon: Battle Cross.
In addition, ordinary Berlet and flash bombs, incendiary bombs, shock bombs, etc. The socket of one of the magazines is also equipped with his specially made bullets, which is very suitable for dealing with the situation in front of you.
Even if he couldn't use magic, he didn't think that this group of sneaky undead could pose a threat to him even with this equipment.
There is also a way to hide his body in the eyes of ordinary people, and he is not without means of dealing with it.
Ethan flipped his left hand and a plain glasses that looked very ordinary appeared in his hand and put them on his face.
Just click on the side of the glasses, and various data began to appear on the originally ordinary glasses.
"Start searching for all nearby energy sources."
Stark Industry has a lot of black technology, and Tony is even more a black technology madman. Ethan just proposed an idea, and it won't take long to give a real thing.
This glasses are one of the boxes of equipment. Ethan brought them here this time to facilitate searching for these sneaky existences.
In addition to various black technologies, the glasses are also engraved with magic circles designed by Ethan, which are very useful, and searching for enemies is just one of them.
"Searched for a large number of negative energy and several sources of energy release."
While giving the above prompt, the specific location and distance of these "energy sources" will be marked on the mirror. Ethan saw the closest one and hid not far ahead, as if he was preparing to surprise himself, so he decided to surprise him first.
A blue light began to emit from the magic wand in his left hand, and Ethan raised the magic wand and released a magic bullet at that position.
Bang!
