Chapter 176: Chapter 160 Deep Sea Fear (Two in One, 6600 Words) _2

The black-robed man instinctively scanned his surroundings, nodded, and was the first to go through the door.

The man followed him through the door, standing at the entrance and checking the time. Several seconds later, the door closed automatically.

This time, it shut completely. There was no even crack left, the entire door disappeared into the air on the other side, as if everything that just happened was an illusion.

Take action in four days?

The last sentence of the two men’s conversation piqued Mu You’s curiosity.

What kind of action?

Today is Saturday, and four days from now would be next Wednesday. What are they planning to do next Wednesday?

If it were only the Illuminati, it wouldn’t matter – they’re just a second-rate organization with not much influence. But it’s a different case when you involve the Ten Commandments. Whenever these guys make a move, it can’t be a small matter!

It’s just a pity that based on that one sentence, he couldn’t guess what they’re planning.

Shaking his head, Mu You had no choice but to put the matter aside for now.

He checked his watch; it was 10:35 in the morning.

Remembering this time carefully, Mu You then recalled the beetle and silently left the area.

He didn’t go over to investigate, nor did he leave any teleportation array nearby.

Given the cautiousness displayed by that Taurus, these unnecessary actions could all potentially give him away, especially the teleportation array.

Currently, in the entire secret technique association, only he, Scorpio, and Cancer knew of the dark transfer technique. If the teleportation array he left behind were discovered, it would easily be traced back to him.

It was only after he traveled a considerable distance from the small island that Mu You took out his small boat and set sail back to the Demon Sea.

The journey back was much quicker. The sailing speed of this small boat was indeed impressive, especially with the wind behind it. It was like a flying fish, cutting through the waves and sailing swiftly.

Soon, Mu You returned to the Demon Sea area.

Stopping at the border of the Demon Sea, Mu You opened the map. The marked location of the shipwreck was near a patch of blood-red coral.

Mu You first ascertained his current position on the map, then carefully estimated the direction and distance of the marked point he needed to go, and set sail in the determined direction.

Although this sea area is called the Demon Sea, which sounds terrifying, it’s actually quite calm on the surface. Because of its no-respawn characteristic, most people and creatures dare not approach it, making navigation quite smooth.

This time the voyage was a bit longer. The Demon Triangle Sea area was very large. Mu You referred continuously to the various small islands and reefs marked on the map to adjust his course. He traveled from morning to dusk before he finally found the coral reef group.

After confirming that this was indeed the place marked on the map, Mu You pulled up his small boat in the deep sea area away from the reefs and plunged into the water.

The seabed here was shallower than he thought, and after diving about 120 meters, he touched bottom.

Just as he landed, Mu You felt something under his foot with a crisp sound.

Looking down, he saw a human skull beneath his feet.

It wasn’t that he had just happened to land on a skull. On the contrary, the seabed beneath the silt was full of human and animal bones, filling every inch of the sea floor with no place for him to set foot without stepping on them.

Mu You had no choice but to step on bones and proceed further.

The sea above was calm, but below, it was not.

Not long after Mu You landed, a few green specters emerged from the bones and circled him, screaming and dancing.

These were the unfortunate souls who had died here from shipwrecks or other reasons. Their flesh had decayed into skeletons, and their spirits had turned into ghosts.

After becoming ghosts, they lost the concept of lifespan. Unless purified or devoured by other ghosts, they would be trapped at the seabed, suffering torment forever.

The long-lasting mental torment had already eroded all their humanity, leaving only the instincts of attack and devour each other.

After circling around Mu You for a while, some of the ghosts became bold and began to phase through his body.

Mu You immediately felt a chill in his body as a minor piece of his soul was torn away. His HP didn’t decrease, but his spirit wilted a bit.

Though the loss was quickly recovered, with so many ghosts around, if everyone took a bite, his spirit would be consumed in an instant. He would faint, and his spirit would be devoured by the ghosts, becoming another skeleton on the seabed...

At this point, the attributes of the ghosts appeared in the Omniscient Crystal.

[Regular Ghost (Level 3-7): Attack Power 3-21, HP 200-1000, Magic Power 100-900, Abilities: Spirit Bite, Possessive Skeleton. Negative Talent: Earthbound, can’t leave the place of death too far.]

These ghosts were weak, but the troublesome part was that they were immune to physical attacks. All material damage would directly pass through them, failing to do any harm.

Fortunately, they were not immune to magic, otherwise, they would be truly invincible.

Mu You immediately cast a ring of fire, and the rolling flames drove away the circling specters.

However, these creatures didn’t seem to fear Fire Magic. In an underwater environment like this, Fire Magic couldn’t unleash its full power, it was significantly weakened as soon as it appeared. As for other types of magic, their attack power was just insufficient.

Only Thunder Element and Holy Light Element attack magic could genuinely harm and frighten these ghosts.

Unfortunately, Mu You didn’t have either of these spells at hand. However, he did have another weapon that could effectively damage these ghosts - Vampire Claws!
