Chapter 21

Time passed.

Soon it was time for the mission to refresh.

Everyone in the group was looking forward to it.

They didn't know what the mission would be this time.

When the time reached 11:00, the mission finally appeared.

【Ding... Detected that the mission cooldown has ended. Multiverse mission released!】

【Mission】: Defeat the ghost ship Flying Helan Man

【Difficulty】: Three stars

【Countdown】: Two hours...

【Hint】: This is a ghost ship that can never return home, but has reemerged into the world because Captain Davy Jones's heart was found...

【Special】: You may assemble a fleet to confront the ghost ship

【Note】: If the mission is not accepted when the countdown reaches zero, it will be considered automatically abandoned

Hu Tao: "Wow... A ghost ship!!!!!!"

Ganyu: "Assemble a fleet? Isn't this basically a free score mission..."

Who in the group could possibly rival Beidou?

This woman commands the Southern Cross Fleet.

She's a terrifying figure who has even tamed sea beasts.

Beidou: "Hahahaha... Sorry everyone, looks like Heaven itself has chosen me! Three-star mission, huh, Ningguang? I'm setting sail!"

Ningguang: "Wait, listen to Su Han first. The higher the star rating, the greater the danger of the mission!"

Keqing: "That's right. For my first mission, if I hadn't known about the Nichirin Blade, slaying oni wouldn't have been so easy..."

Beidou: "Alright then, Su Han, speak quickly. I can't wait any longer..."

Su Han: "This ghost ship isn't as simple as you imagine. First, Davy Jones and the goddess Calypso are lovers.

Because of this, the crew aboard his ship are essentially immortal souls.

Moreover, Davy Jones can summon the Kraken... Meaning you won't just face the crew, but also a sea monster!!!"

As he explained,

Beidou gradually frowned.

Immortal monsters?

That would indeed be troublesome.

A ghost ship plus a Kraken—definitely not an easy challenge.

No wonder it's a three-star difficulty.

Ningguang: "I have an idea. If we let Ganyu join Beidou's fleet, could they complete the mission together? Doesn't the description say

'assemble a fleet'?"

Ganyu, who wields the Cryo Vision,

is practically invincible.

Su Han: "Uh... Probably allowed. I don't see any restrictions."

Keqing: "Too bad I'm out on assignment and can't return to Liyue Harbor today. Otherwise, I'd join you all for the mission..."

Zhongli: "Then let's give it a try..."

He absolutely did not want to go.

Though one Geo spear thrust could end it instantly,

those slimy creatures were exactly what he least wanted to see.

Hu Tao: "I'll pass... Just imagining something covered in tentacles makes me want to vomit... Good luck, though."

Beidou: "Alright! Then I'm taking Ganyu and setting sail!"

At this moment, Ganyu was handling official duties near the port.

It only took a few steps to reach the *Death Omen*.

"Crew, set sail... Today we've got a big job!"

"Captain, didn't we just finish repairs? Why head out to sea again?"

Facing the crewman's question,

Beidou shot him a glare and snapped, "Too many words! Raise the sails and go!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The entire Southern Cross Fleet didn't need to deploy.

The *Death Omen* alone was sufficient for today's mission.

Ganyu stood quietly at the bow, holding the Amos' Bow.

Once they sailed beyond Liyue Harbor and out of public sight, Beidou finally accepted the mission.

She took a deep breath and announced to the sailors: "Listen up, crew... Today's mission won't be easy. We're challenging the ghosts of the sea..."

Everyone assumed Captain Beidou was joking again.

But Ganyu said seriously, "It's true. Please stay alert. People could die otherwise..."

The crew exchanged glances.

Tension began to rise in their hearts.

Then, the ship gradually faded from view.

Sailing into the mist.

Inside the Caribbean world,

cannons roared without pause.

The Flying Helan Man had already destroyed three ships, terrifying as a demon.

On the Black Pearl,

Elizabeth was pale. Though she was the governor's daughter, she was helpless in this situation.

Just witnessed David Jones summoning the Kraken of the North Sea.

It directly tore a ship apart.

Now the Black Pearl has also suffered heavy damage.

What should be done?

Watching the ships sink one by one into the seabed, David Jones sneered: "Do you really think you can fight me? Turn into drowned souls at the bottom of the sea..."

"Hahahaha..."

Accompanied by his maniacal laughter.

The tentacles on his body writhed accordingly.

The crew, transformed into monsters, cheered along.

At this moment, an unexpected event occurred.

In the mist.

A massive sailing ship slowly emerged onto the sea surface, coming into everyone's view.

Dragon head.

Red sails.

And that enormous hull.

This unfamiliar vessel.

Attracted everyone's attention.

Captain Jack frowned and said, "Where did this ship come from? Is it from Long Kingdom too..."

"Don't know. Among the Pirate Kings, there's no legend of such a ship!"

His first mate beside him gave the answer.

This kind of design clearly resembles the style of Long Kingdom.

Especially the figurehead of the ship.

Yet no one knew who the master was.

That owned such a beautiful ship.

P.S.: New book launching, humbly begging for support! Begging for flowers, review votes, monthly votes... begging for all kinds of support!!!

"Yo... so this is another world... looks pretty good..."

The sea breeze hit their faces.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

But Beidou didn't feel uncomfortable at all; instead, her mood became higher and higher.

As Liyue's strongest armed fleet,

her favorite thing was undoubtedly clearing out pirates.

But unfortunately, the Treasure Hoarders within Liyue avoided her, and only when Beidou went out to sea

did they dare to come out to slack off.

The people on the ship were very shocked.

A moment ago, they were still in Liyue.

Suddenly, how did they get here?

Before they could think, Ganyu said: "Everyone be careful, the enemy is approaching..."

"Don't worry, Master Ganyu! Whoever dares to oppose our Crux Fleet, we will definitely smash them to pieces."

"Isn't it just a ghost ship? With Big Sister Beidou here, what are we afraid of!"

"Well said..."

"Cannons ready!"

"Cannons ready!"

The sailors acted quickly.

They didn't even need Beidou to command;

they had already entered combat status.

And Beidou, holding the Dragon-Slaying Sword at the bow, looked at the approaching ship and muttered to herself: "So this is the ghost ship..."

It was covered in seaweed and moss,

and didn't even have sails.

From far away, she could see the monsters on it.

Those people were covered in viscous liquid,

and some even had starfish stuck to them.

Just looking at it was nauseating.

Soon the Flying Dutchman arrived near the Alcor, and Davy Jones stared at Beidou and asked: "Which Pirate Lord are you?

I don't seem to know you..."

"Leader of the Liyue Crux Fleet, Beidou... I'm not any Pirate Lord."

"Liyue? A place I've never heard of... but since you appeared here, sink to the seabed! Fire..."

Davy Jones sneered,

and raised his blade.

Triple cannons appeared on the ship.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

The cannonballs drew an arc and flew over directly.

However, before they could land on the ship, sixteen arrows intercepted them in mid-air.

The explosion spread between the two ships.

Beidou faced the heat wave

without even blinking.

Since Ganyu, who had the bloodline of an adeptus beast, was here, why would she worry about cannonballs? You must know the other party was an existence that had experienced the Archon War.

"Fire... fire!!!!"

"With Master Ganyu here, we are invincible..."

The sailors on the Alcor also fired their cannons.

Although they didn't have triple cannons,

Liyue's cannonballs were no worse than this world's.

In just one round of engagement,

the ghost ship was shaken by the explosions.

Davy Jones looked at the blue-haired girl, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Arrows can block cannonballs?

Are you kidding me?

"Don't think you can defeat me like this, feel the anger of the sea..."

The first round of engagement failed.

It didn't make Davy Jones feel anything; instead, it stirred up his desire for slaughter.

As the saber was raised,

the calm sea began to become turbulent.

Captain Jack in the distance saw this scene and hurriedly shouted: "Careful... the Kraken is about to appear!!! Run..."

Beidou smiled upon hearing this and turned to look at Ganyu.

"Hey... how about I handle this big guy? Since I wiped out that sea beast, I haven't loosened my muscles in a long time..."

"Can you really handle it?"

Ganyu was a bit hesitant.

After all, the sea monster in the intelligence

was very huge.

Beidou laughed loudly: "Who am I? I am Captain Beidou... I still have to make a living in Liyue, it's just a mere sea beast.

If I fake using someone else's hand for everything...

how would these brothers look at me."

Her red eyes gradually turned deep purple.

Endless thunder was continuously released from her body.

Once, before she had a Vision, Beidou had killed the giant beast Haishan.

She was far more powerful now than she was then.

"Stormbreaker!!!"

Beidou roared, and the whole person was shrouded in thunder.

And at this moment, eight tentacles drilled out from the sea and lunged straight at the Alcor.

Swish.

Beidou's figure disappeared.

Everyone only saw that light flickering like a meteor, and the four tentacles on the left were severed!!!

Scarlet blood

splashed out like rain.

And Beidou didn't stop her movements, heading straight for the right side.

Seriously injured,

the Kraken also knew it had encountered a tricky enemy, so it changed its attack movement and locked onto Beidou directly.

Four tentacles overlapped,

falling with the force of a thousand jun.

If Beidou dodged,

the Alcor would definitely be smashed with a big hole.

If she didn't dodge, she would have to face this thunderous blow directly.

"Good! This is what's satisfying...."

The Dragon-Slaying Sword in Beidou's hand erupted with countless layers of lightning, as terrifying as waves.

The nearby seawater
