Chapter 325: The Chef on the Ship

"How to leave here?"

Xia De asked the question while holding the photo.

"Can't run away. Once on our ship, no one can think of running away! Servant of the spiral, follower of the scarlet, the Fish Bone Pirate Ship galloping in the eye of the storm, pay tribute to the great Lord of the Scarlet Spiral! Praise you! Praise you!"

The hoarse voice shouted hysterically, and the photo exerted force to try to break free from Xia De's hand, but this time he grabbed it firmly:

"I'll only ask once, how to leave here?"

"It's impossible to leave! No one can leave! Oh!"

The sword blade pierced over again. This time it was as if it wanted to cut the whole photo into two halves. The voice inside the photo changed its tone immediately:

"Go find the captain! Go find the captain! Only he knows how to leave! For thousands of years, everyone who left here went to find the captain!"

It exerted force again, wanting to fly out of Xia De's hand, but Xia De just wouldn't let go. The slight light of the greatsword in his hand illuminated his face, and he narrowed his eyes at the increasingly embarrassed man in the photo:

"Are you a crew member of this ship? What's going on with this ship?"

"All crazy! All crazy! The captain sought power from the great existence, wanting to become the strongest Pirate King, so that power swallowed us, let us obtain the form of immortality, let us be unable to escape. The only purpose of this ship's existence is to hunt for our Lord, no one can escape! Even the captain can't escape!"

It laughed wildly inside the photo. The woman's voice in his ear reminded him, and Xia De immediately let go of the photo. But this time it didn't fly away, but hovered in the air in laughter. Cold green flames of unknown origin rose, and in an instant, they swallowed the photo.

And after the photo turned completely into ashes, Xia De looked at the position of the photo frame again. The shattered glass was intact, and the burned photo was still there. The man inside the photo closed his eyes as if he were sleeping, but Xia De didn't doubt at all that if he stared for a while longer, he would open his eyes like just now and repeat all the behaviors just now over and over again.

"This ship was favored by the Evil God 【Lord of the Scarlet Spiral】 during the Fifth Era, and the whole ship of people was transformed into immortal and strange existences, hunting on the sea surface for that Evil God. After the intersection of the era, it turned into a powerful relic. Is this the truth here... I still don't understand why we hit this thing..."

Xia De's eyes left that photo. The photo itself also had a heavy Whispers element. If Xia De could take the photo out, it could also be regarded as a relic. It was just that this ship was really evil, and Xia De wouldn't take this kind of thing to continue deep into it.

But this also showed that almost everything on this ship was valuable.

【What are you going to do now?】

When the voice sounded in his ear, Xia De had already begun to walk toward the interior of the ship's cabin.

"Go find the captain. That lunatic just now didn't look like he could lie. And since the True Gods allow this kind of thing to exist in the material world, it means there are rules here, not that there is no way to survive."

His boots carefully avoided the dry bones on the ground. Every step he took, the floor under his feet made a sound as if it were spreading through the whole ship.

【Do you know where the captain is?】

"Of course I don't know, but walking inward is definitely right. Miss Princess said so... Although there are more than ten Ringed Shushi who encountered danger together on the cruise ship, now everyone else is gone. I can't count on others to find the exit, and others finding the exit doesn't mean I can escape."

【Are you worried about your companion?】

Her pleasant laughter was really a more effective method of dispelling the headache than any potion.

The further he walked inward, the higher the degree of alienation of the ship's cabin corridor. The fungus blanket on the wall thickened constantly, and the shape of the human body appeared on the surface of the fungus blanket, as if the wall had absorbed and swallowed human skeletons one by one. The foul smell became more and more intense, and even covering his nose with his hand couldn't make that smell dissipate.

Xia De couldn't imagine what kind of thing could emit this smell, but when he walked 30 steps inward from the photo frame and heard the gurgling sound of water and the sound of crackling burning in his ears, he actually understood immediately that someone was cooking in this layer of the ship's cabin.

Holding the sword in his right hand and illuminating with his left hand, while walking forward quickly, the skeletons on the floor and walls slowly reached out to the living person, and as the moonlight flew out along the wall, the arms of the skeletons fell all over the floor like leeks being cut, but they were still constantly wriggling.

The ship was still swaying violently, and the ship's board couldn't block the sound of the storm in this dark sea area.

More and more filth appeared around, and even small particles visible to the naked eye appeared in the air. In the creepy darkness ahead, faint green light could be vaguely seen on the right wall, and the gurgling sound of water and the sound similar to firewood burning came from there.

The sword in his hand slashed away the skeleton trying to grab his arm, and Xia De came to the door of the ship's cabin room that hadn't been blocked. This was also the only room he had seen that could be entered since entering the ship's cabin.

Looking inside, the narrow room was about the size of Xia De's washroom. Piled up on both sides of the room were not skeletons, but fresh red corpse pieces dripping with blood. In the center of the room, on the floor, skeletons were piled up to burn ghostly green flames, and four iron chains hung down from the ceiling, connecting to an iron pot like the one used by a witch in a fairy tale, letting it float on the skeleton fire.

The foul liquid in the pot was boiling, but unexpectedly, there were no blood, corpses, or bones in the pot. There was clear water in the pot that could see the bottom.

Beside the iron pot, a thing with a human head, the upper body of a fish, the lower body of a skeleton, and the four limbs of a pig held a rusted brass big spoon and looked at Xia De. The moment those turbid yellow eyeballs met Xia De, the intense discomfort made him dizzy for a moment, and he almost couldn't stand firm.

But the monster didn't launch an attack on Xia De, but snorted twice like a pig:

"Someone else is on the ship."

The language it used was the same as the language used by the lunatic in the photo just now, both were Dalarion common language.

"Are you the captain?"

Xia De asked. The ghostly green flames were brighter than the silver light at his fingertips, making his shadow project to the other side of the ship's cabin corridor from the doorway, swaying like a monster.

Xia De noticed that his voice had become abnormally hoarse for some reason.

"Of course not, can't you tell? I'm the chef."

The monster snorted, although it was a human head, there were clearly fish gill features on both sides of the cheeks. It put the brass big spoon in its hand into the iron pot and stirred it. The foul smell became even more intense.

"Want to know how to leave? Want to know the secret of this ship?"

It asked, the small eyes on the human face narrowed and looked at Xia De. ===== CHAPTER 326 =====
