Chapter 29: Deep Sea Undead

Splash... splash...

The sea wind and waves grew fiercer, and from time to time seawater splashed against the glass of the captain's cabin.

Gunie, who had already come into contact with the demon ship multiple times, could clearly feel that beneath the demon ship, under the control of Asen Howell, the hull planks were slowly opening.

A large amount of seawater began to pour in, and at the same time, the demon ship was sinking.

"We need to hurry; the seawater will flood over soon."

Gunie took off all his clothes, including the secret-pattern chainmail.

Then Gunie put on a black deep-sea demon dolphin leather garment resembling a sailor's jacket against his skin—this was the "Demon Dolphin Fin."

As source power surged in,

the Demon Dolphin Fin came alive, rapidly extending to Gunie's lower body and perfectly fusing with his skin.

Then, on the outside of Gunie's legs, rows of half-meter-long fins grew out.

With a thought, Gunie moved these fins under his control.

"Looks a bit strange," Gunie thought to himself.

At the same time, two strong and powerful fleshy fins resembling wings rapidly grew on Gunie's back.

Each of these fleshy fins was one and a half meters long, robust and powerful.

After observing and feeling for a while, Gunie gave up wearing the purple-scale chainmail.

With fins all over his body, wearing the purple-scale chainmail would completely restrict Gunie's swimming speed.

Fortunately, Gunie's own defensive capabilities were now quite formidable; prolonged absorption of writhing flesh had made his physical body tougher than ordinary black-iron equipment.

Moreover, Gunie still had the magic-gold-level photon shield arm, so he was not afraid of concentrated enemy attacks.

By the time Gunie was ready, waves were already violently pounding the windows of the captain's cabin.

And seawater had begun to seep into the captain's cabin.

The demon ship was about to submerge completely.

Gunie's pupils shifted, then entered a blood-red state, with night vision and source power vision fully activated.

A moment later,

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...

Seawater flooded the captain's cabin.

The demon ship began to sink rapidly.

At first, the fluctuations from the sea surface waves could still be felt.

After diving thirty or fifty meters, the surface movements could no longer affect this place.

At the same time, the deep-sea world beneath the surface began to unfold before Gunie's eyes.

What met his eyes was an empty and silent ocean.

Silence!

That was Gunie's only feeling at this moment.

Source power vision combined with night vision allowed Gunie to easily see everything within a radius of four to five hundred meters.

In the deep, vast, silent, and profound ocean,

fish of all sizes swam in schools.

Not far to the left front, there was also a five-to-six-meter-long shark searching for prey.

Around, front and back, left and right, and even below, many jellyfish emitted faint light, floating peacefully.

And deeper in the ocean, there were even more fish.

These fish were very quiet; the waves on the surface had no effect on them at all.

The demon whale ship, like a submarine, descended while slowly moving forward.

The many extraordinary sailors had already gone ahead, escorting the demon whale ship as it submerged.

The demon ship naturally possessed the magic of the ocean; the helmsman could input some source power to borrow the power of the ocean and steer the demon ship to navigate underwater.

The speed was naturally not as fast as on the surface, but at least it would not suffer from huge waves and strong winds.

Gunie swam out of the captain's cabin.

Gunie naturally adapted to breathing with the secret dragon gills.

The Demon Dolphin Fin required some swimming to get used to.

Swimming back and forth, Gunie adapted quickly, mastering techniques such as acceleration, turning, hovering, diving, and rapid ascent as if by instinct.

As his speed gradually increased, Gunie soon grew fond of the feeling of swimming freely in the ocean.

Feeling familiar enough, Gunie moved closer to the demon whale ship.

Before Gunie could approach the demon whale ship,

"Watch out, it's sea undead."

Suddenly, a source power roar sounded with effort.

"Sea undead?" Gunie's heart stirred, and he quickly swam toward the direction of the sound.

At this moment, not only Gunie but also sailors from other directions swam toward where the sound came from.

The sea undead had been wreaking havoc at sea for some time.

Gunie knew that the demon whale had reached the edge of the deep sea and might encounter sea undead, but he did not expect it to happen so soon.

When he passed the demon gold ship's cabin, Gunie saw, on the other side about two to three hundred meters from the demon gold ship,

undead creatures, each emitting the characteristic black mist of the undead, floated silently in the ocean like jellyfish.

These were "half-soul" type undead creatures.

There were about twenty or thirty of them.

If not for the black mist of the undead, one might have mistaken them for corpses floating in the ocean.

Seeing so many undead creatures, the sailors also showed solemn expressions.

These half-soul undead were all first-rank.

But everyone knew that half-soul undead were not easy to deal with.

Spell-type annihilation spells were most suitable against them.

Of course, light-type spells were even more suitable, but light-type spells were rare.

And most of these extraordinary sailors mainly fought with swords and blades in close combat.

Even if their swords carried a little source power, they could cause some damage to these undead, but the damage was pitifully low.

If possible, no one would want to face these undead creatures.

With the roar of that sailor just now,

those sea undead that had been floating silently seemed to sense the disturbance.

Then one sea undead slowly opened its eyes and looked this way.

Immediately, this sea undead, with only half a head and half its body consisting of a skeleton and a little black skin, became excited.

It saw flesh and blood and souls, and very abundant ones at that.

"Ugh—"

This sea undead let out a low roar.

The roar awakened the other undead that were in a dormant state.

Immediately, this group of about thirty sea undead emitted all kinds of strange roars.

Roar, roar...

Heh, heh...

Ugh, ugh...

Flesh, blood, and souls made these undead extremely excited; they desperately wanted to devour Gunie and the others to replenish their souls and stomachs.

These sea undead ran quite fast on the sea surface, much faster than the demon ship.

But their swimming speed in the ocean was pathetically slow.

Only slightly faster than an ordinary person's swimming speed, even the submerged demon ship could easily shake them off.

Seeing this, not only Gunie but also the many extraordinary sailors felt much more at ease.

After all, only about thirty first-rank undead, the threat was really not great.

"These guys swim really slowly, a world of difference from their running speed on the surface," said a sailor.

"Even if they're slow, it's not easy for us to eliminate them; these guys are especially hard to kill, much harder than the mermaids and sea snakes."

"Spellcasters can deal high damage to them."

"Do we have any spellcasters among us?"

"Our captain, have you forgotten?"

With the mention of the captain,

everyone around turned their eyes to Gunie.

"You can't expect me to do everything. These sea undead are very weak and very slow. Don't you think this is a good opportunity for you to practice?"

Gunie shrugged and said.

As Gunie spoke, Second Mate Buster Johnson no longer hesitated and shouted in a low voice:

"All sailors, listen to my command, join forces to kill these sea undead, or if they follow us, they might attract more deep-sea undead."

"If you can't even kill these slow first-rank undead, should I keep you as ancestors to worship?"

"Clang!" Buster Johnson drew his short sword.

Even in the seawater, Buster Johnson's movements were swift and quick.

"Follow me." With Buster Johnson's charge, the other sailors also quickly drew their weapons and rushed forward.
