Chapter 282: Chapter 262: Holy Song on the Nether Sea

Da Fei’s fleet has been drifting in the Nether Sea for four days now. Aside from the undead fish swarm encountered at the beginning, there basically hasn’t been any danger; just some occasional wandering undead fish groups, and they haven’t encountered any large sea monsters. This has somewhat put Da Fei at ease, but also left him feeling a bit unaccustomed.

Consider this, this place is the Nether Sea, not the domain of the Sea God. So the curse doesn’t work; maybe it won’t send sea monsters after me, right? That’s good. If sea monsters from the Netherworld really come, and if one of them transforms into Skira, Leviathan, Octopus Monster or something and I can’t control the situation, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In fact, based on the public testing phase, it’s difficult for players to encounter a boss-level monster in the vast sea, let alone a sea monster. If sailing is actually in this normal (pain in the ass) mode, it might not be as perilous as imagined. Hopefully, that’s the case.

A new day begins, and a series of navigator system prompts scroll across the screen.

—— System Prompt: You have explored an uncharted area of the sea and created a Sea Chart. You and your Vice Heroes receive Expert-level Navigator Experience rewards of +400 and an additional 40,000 Exploration Experience!

—— System Prompt: Catherine has acquired the information of a Master-level Pirate!

......

But this time, there’s a whole new set of messages!

—— System Prompt: You have acquired the skill information for "Crisis Management".

—— System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Catherine has acquired the skill information for "Crisis Management".

—— System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia has acquired the skill information for "Crisis Management"....

—— System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia has acquired the skill information for "Crisis Management"....

—— System Prompt: Your Chamber of Commerce member Spielberg has acquired the skill information for "Crisis Management".

—— System Prompt: Your fleet member Coltner has acquired the skill information for "Crisis Management"...

Da Fei’s eyebrows jump! All members received the information? Fuck, is this a hidden skill? So Misfortune really does build character? But I’ve been managing for three days, why did the messages only appear today? Could it be that the management had effects that the system recognized?

No matter what, a skill that can level up the whole team is a good skill! Very good! Then I’ll fight to the end!

Da Fei continues to make announcements on the loudspeaker: "All hands, keep up the good work today! Once we break through, I’ll give everyone triple year-end bonuses!"

The sailors cheer in unison, and those deputies who felt progress from the information they received are even more motivated to intensify their inspections, not overlooking a single rat hole or cockroach nest. In any case, today is sure to be another passionate day.

But today is indeed different, Alicia’s sensitive nose has detected something amiss. She organizes the sailors to turn over containers and discover a hidden nest of rats, but the rats in the nest have already died. Judging by the rigidity of the bodies, it seems they died not long ago—just over the past day or two.

Given that rats are absolutely capable of surviving, they would never starve to death! Even if people starve to death, they wouldn’t. The death of these rats is definitely suspicious!

Fuck! As a skilled player, Da Fei knows exactly what’s going on by intuition. He realizes the gravity of the situation. It turns out the true peril of this Nether Sea is an invisible killer!

Da Fei calls another Vice Hero meeting. Now everyone is gathered around the dead rat, looking grave.

Coltner frowned and said, "There’s only one answer, it’s the Death Energy from the Nether Sea that stripped away their weak lives. Perhaps, we’ll be the next ones!"

Da Fei’s heart tightened, bro has the same thought!

Alicia sighed, "It’s not perhaps, it’s certain! The Netherworld is no place for life to linger long!"

Bro also knows it’s no place to linger, but the question is, can we hold on until we make it out? Could it be that at the last moment we must abandon the Whale Hunter and make a full-speed getaway? But even if we get to Miracle Island, we have no idea if we can escape or not. Now that the moon is so big in the sky, and Renior still isn’t awake, do I really have to rely on myself?

Looking at the Vortex Crystal in his hand whose special skill had been disabled, Da Fei’s heart tightened once again. After all, this Divine Artifact Crystal clearly lost its hilt part, leading to its imperfections. Could it be that it needs to be repaired to function? Damn, how could that be possible? We don’t have such talents here!

Da Fei could only sigh and ask, "So how do we slow down the influence of the Death Energy?"

Everyone’s gaze once again focused on Selvia in unison. That’s right, why do some lavish armies have priests? This is their use.

Selvia nodded with a smile, "I can sing the blessing hymn for everyone every day, but my Mana is not enough!"

Everyone’s gaze, especially Selvia’s, again focused intensely on Alicia. Damn, bro gets it now!

Alicia shifted uncomfortably, "Hey hey, why are you all looking at me?"

Da Fei sighed lightly, took out the Vortex Crystal, and chuckled, "Alicia, here, this time I’m giving you a new toy to play with, let’s share the good stuff!"

Alicia let out a small sigh, "I’m not a child..."

Selvia also stated blandly, "I’m not a child either..."

Da Fei sighed, "That’s good, nobody here is a child! Let’s start swapping equipment." Damn, my harem! Harmony is welcomed, vying for favor is welcomed, but fighting over gear isn’t!

Selvia finally got her hands on the Sea Soul Staff and couldn’t help but jump for joy, "Alright, I’ll go back to the ship to prepare the hymn ceremony."

Catherine said with a grave voice, "Everyone, please be aware, we can’t let the sailors know about this. Once they find out, they will definitely fall into despair and panic, and then it would be hard to command them with such low Morale!"

Everyone nodded, deeply agreeing. Damn, being a leader really isn’t anything good, huh? Just look at Little Nun, that deeply approving expression on her face, turning bad as soon as she became a Captain!

Now, the pure and loud singing filled the sky above the fleet, and the sailors immediately felt their fatigue lessen, their spirits lifted, and their minds calmed.

And Coltner was even more so moved to tears, "Truly worthy of being the poet successor I have chosen, she really has such a talent for singing, even I, a Believer of the nature cult, am healed and affected by her song! Good, then I’ll accompany her with the song ’Messiah!’"

Everyone clapped their hands. Only now did Da Fei remember he had given Selvia a Skill Book for poetry! Damn! She hadn’t even learned it yet, she’s been spending all her Skill Points on Sailing Skill so far; is she trying to pain me on purpose? Ah, whatever, if she voluntarily chose to learn Sailing Skill instead of requesting to learn his poetry, she must have her reasons, let her be.

For a moment, the sounds of holy songs and music echoed in the boundless Nether Sea. In this fearful and uneasy Death Nether Sea, that was undoubtedly the most comforting and wonderful music, a symbol of the Divine Grace’s care, bringing endless courage to the sailors.

However, courage is not the same as strength. Won’t singing such a blatantly provocative song in this place cause local Undead Sea Monsters to cause trouble? We can only take it one step at a time, sigh. (To be continued.
