Chapter 262: Ghostship, Treasure

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Ghostship?”

On the Twin Dragon Island.

Meanwhile, over a dozen heroes and advanced players such as Zhao Yun, Wu Song, Ling Zhen, and Gongsun Sheng all stood on a 10m high dam and looked down at the shadow, which was only about 3km away.

“Ghostships are usually ships that had disappeared mysteriously or sunken into the sea. They’re rediscovered years later, floating in the sea with no one inside.

“Legends of Ghostships usually involve ghost-like creatures. I hope Master and Chief Ruan won’t run into too much danger,” Qin Yueyu said uneasily.

In her Infinite Quiver, arrows were shining in different colors, and she watched the sea, which was growing dark, as the sun set.

“Don’t worry. With Master’s capability, he won’t have any problem even if he runs into enemies of Extraordinary Rank-9.”

Mister Bug had a lot of confidence in Ji Ye.

He had a tattoo pen in his hand and was ready to draw a character to invite a god, once they figured out what monsters were in that Ghostship.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A short distance away, two figures were approaching the Ghostship. One was surrounded by the vision of a purple fin tiger shark about three meters long, while the shadow of a black Flood Dragon over a dozen meters long wrapped around the other one.

It was Ji Ye, who had risen to Extraordinary Rank-8, and Ruan Xiaoer, the Walking Fiend as well as the only navy commander of the Twin Dragon Island.

“Master, please let me take a look first,” said Ruan Xiaoer.

They were about 50m away, but the Ghostship still gave no reaction.

They wore breathing devices and earplugs made from the skin of Sludge Monsters, which allowed them to talk underwater, only that they couldn’t be too far away from each other.

“That won’t be necessary. You can just stay with me so that you won’t be affected.”

...

Pa!

Ji Ye landed on the deck of the Ghostship, but Ruan Xiaoer wasn’t with him.

Whoosh!

The next second, the white glow he emanated lit up the entire space.

“It’s empty?

“So, it really is a Ghostship.”

So far, he hadn’t been attacked, which surprised him.

Looking around, he saw that the structure of the ship was different from that of a human’s ship.

But overall, there were still some similarities. For instance, there was a deck and an enormous cabin.

But both the deck and the cabin were built from an unknown black material. The dark color was what gave it away, even when it was dozens of meters away under the sea surface.

Although the entire boat was black, there were objects of different colors as well.

For instance, there was a finger-sized piece of silver-colored metal by his feet.

[Mithril]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-1]

[Rarity: Common]

[Description: A magical metal that is widely used in magical and alchemy experiments.]

“Mithril?”

Ji Ye was quite familiar with this metal commonly found in magic-themed games and fiction.

More importantly, there was more than one piece of mithril scattered around the deck. There were five or six in total, and every other piece was bigger than this one. The largest of them all was even of Extraordinary Rank-4

Apart from them, there were also some irregular-shaped black stones that were giving off a white glow.

[Black Luminating Stone]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-2]

[Rarity: Excellent]

[Description: A gem that could create light the way the sun did. When set on fire, it would suspend in the air and emanate strong and long-lasting radiance.]

It was another type of Extraordinary resource with a rarity level of Excellent. Based on the description, Ji Ye estimated that it would be a great material for building flash bombs.

There were quite a few such stones on the deck as well, and the largest ones were the size of a human head. But they were only a tenth in their weight of the mithril of the same size.

Moreover, he had also found a transparent cylinder flagon by the ship’s rail, and it contained an amber-colored liquid.

[Dragon Piss Liquor]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-5]

[Rarity: Refined (Rare)]

[Description: The taste of this liquor is hard to describe. It is the favorite drink of the Tyrant Lizard. Drinking it could help them to refine their extremely thin Giant Flame Dragon’s bloodline.]

“That’s... very hardcore!”

Ji Ye was a little speechless.

It was a Rare object that could refine one’s bloodline, which made it very valuable, not to mention that it involved a “dragon”.

Unfortunately, “Giant Dragon” was a creature of western fantasy and was a completely different creature from the oriental dragon. Even if Ji Ye could bring himself to drink it, it wouldn’t do anything for him.

Come to think of it, there were a lot of things on the deck.

But obviously, neither the Mithrils nor the Dragon Piss Liquor interested Ji Ye much.

After all, the main background of the Twin Dragon Mount was mythology and history, and a little technological element had just been introduced.

They hadn’t dabbled in the magical elements at all. Unless they could summon a hero from the magical world with Rare offerings, these things wouldn’t be all that useful to them.

However, Ji Ye’s eyes lit up when he saw the next object.

It sat by the entrance of the cabin. Despite the greyish white glow it gave off, it was obviously a different thing from the Black Luminating Stone.

[Stone of Enlightenment]

[Level: Ordinary Rank-7]

[Rarity: Elite]

[Description: A peculiar stone formed when a Chosen One died. It could be used in the settlement core to obtain an object from the stone’s civilization at the expense of Honor and the power of providence.]

“A Stone of Civilization? Why is there a Stone of Civilization on this Ghostship?”

A Stone of Civilization was only dropped when a player died, so it was most surprising that one would show up here.

A player had died on this Ghostship.

Or was this a treasure ship like coffers in some games? If one was lucky enough, they could find all kinds of special high-level objects.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Either way, it didn’t stop Ji Ye from picking up all the Extraordinary objects on the deck and threw them at Ruan Xiaoer, who was outside the boat.

He was very efficient. In just over a minute, he had cleared out the entire deck. Apart from the Mithrils, the Black Luminating Stone, and the Dragon Piss Liquor, he had found several other things.

He walked toward the cabin at last and picked up the Stone of Civilization.

As he did so, he looked inside the cabin.

He saw that the floor inside was also scattered with some extraordinary-looking object. Gems that looked like luminous pearls glowed, lighting up piles of treasure around them.

There was a golden coral tree that was over a meter tall, a few bones that seemed to belong to a Transcendent creature, a pile of sealed bottles that could be magical potions, and a long sword with a strange vine wrapped around it...

The number of resources inside was almost as impressive as the vault of the Twin Dragon Mount, where they had stored all the things they gathered from the Battlefield of Providence.

“So, it really is a treasure ship!”

Ji Ye talked to himself while throwing the Stone of Civilization off the ship as well.

He was then going to step into the cabin.

However, he stopped at the doorstep.

“Well, it’s too dark inside, and I’m afraid of darkness...”

Ji Ye mumbled to himself again.

“Roar!”

After that, a streak of white Dragon Aura burst out of Ji Ye and charged forward, covering all the treasures and weapons inside with a white glow.

The objects then started shaking before they began to move out of the cabin.

Apparently, Ji Ye was going to use the same strategy—dragging everything onto the deck before tossing them to Ruan Xiaoer, who was waiting outside the Ghostship.

Hum!

However, when Ji Ye pulled the first object, the golden coral tree, to the doorstep of the cabin,

the entire Ghostship suddenly growled angrily. The sound had powerful energy that could attack both one’s mental power and the soul, and it sounded like a million angry ghosts screaming together. The sound came from all directions and could strike a creature of Extraordinary Rank-5 and above unconscious.

“Hah, finally?”

At the center of the sound, Ji Ye didn’t seem affected at all. Instead, he smirked.

Without hesitation, he threw the meter-high golden coral tree out of the ship as well.

The detecting ability of the Monocular could only show him the property of monsters and natives, not that of this ship, which was a “dead object”. That was to say, something had to be wrong with this Ghostship, just like what the description said, “it seems to have a secret”.

Moreover, although the Land of Inheritance had its rules, it was obvious that one had to pay a price or complete challenges if one wanted to gain something. Of course a treasure ship couldn’t be real.

The Stone of Civilization, which was only dropped after a player died, was even more impossible to come by!

Therefore, he had been acting from the very beginning.

However, the hidden monsters or alien races in this Ghostship couldn’t understand a word that he had mumbled to himself.

But it would be more convincing if he was consistent with his acting.

Hum!

Next to him, the black cabin walls of the Ghostship twitched, and a pair of green eyes emerged.

After that, the entire black wall twitched violently, turning into an unknown black creature, which was two meters tall and had the shape of a monkey but with a triangular head and snake-like tail.

It then jumped at Ji Ye.

Pew!

But Ji Ye was faster. With a wave of his hand, a white dragon charged forward.

The white Dragon Aura smashed into the black monkey-like creature, blowing its triangular head off. Something else also disappeared with it, which was a dot of green light that represented the core of a soul creature.

[“You’ve killed ‘Snake Monkey’ (Extraordinary Rank-4, Elite), the crew member of the Ghostship. EXP gained: 450. Honor gained: 2!”]

The message came into Ji Ye’s head.

However, although the black Snake Monkey was killed, it didn’t mean that the Twin Dragon Island could claim the entire ship of treasures.

Because green eyes appeared not just on the walls, but also on the deck, the ceiling of the cabin, and even on the mast. Together, they looked like fireflies.

The entire Ghostship had transformed into a great number of soul creatures!
