Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

After hearing the captain's order, the sailors immediately began to steer the ship.

Living in this sea, being powerful is only one aspect, and what is more important is to be cautious at all times, and you must not be curious when you should not be curious, because there will always be someone stronger than you.

There are even some weird extraordinary abilities that can completely destroy a person without knowing it.

Therefore, Mr. Hunt had no intention of approaching the opposite ship at all, and leaving was the easiest and safest choice.

The ship under your feet is gradually changing course, you only need to stay away from the mysterious ship floating in front of you, and then return to the route, which is not difficult to operate.

However, Mr. Hunter's face could not relax, but became more solemn, because he found that although the opposite ship was sailing in an erratic direction, its final route seemed to be heading towards itself.

"Could it be the legendary ghost ship?"

I quickly sorted out the legends about the sea in my mind, but found no corresponding situation. The ship in front of me was too small and too damaged. It was impossible to be the legendary ghost ships wandering on the sea. Instead, it looked like a dilapidated pirate ship.

However, this ship inexplicably identified its own ship when no one was controlling it, and even if it turned around repeatedly, it couldn't get rid of it at all.

The mysterious ship is like a "ghost", always following unhurriedly, slowly and firmly shortening the distance between the two sides.

This sea area is obviously the safest route nearby, why did such weird incidents occur!

Hunt gripped the railing tightly with both hands, turned his head and ordered to go down, and said loudly:

"Increase the speed to the highest speed."

The sailors moved very quickly, the sails spread out quickly, and the boat under their feet began to shake. If they were not senior crew members, they would probably suffer from seasickness due to unstable standing.

However, Mr. Hunt naturally has no such worries, but he can't relax at all, because the mysterious ship behind him is also accelerating, and the speed is even faster, even exceeding the limit speed of the ship itself, let alone the hull itself There are many damages, it should not have this speed at all.

The distance between the two is still slowly approaching at a slow but constant speed.

"It seems that you can't get rid of it by ordinary means!"

Hunter was silent for a while, and ordered to go down again:

"Let the ship slow down gradually."

The sailors did not hesitate or refute, and soon, the shaking and bumps on the ship disappeared and quickly became stable.

Almost all the crew members were staring at the strange ship behind them, their expressions were dignified, and even a little disturbed, they were ready for battle.

Mr. Hunter didn't dare to relax even for a moment. He had only lived at sea for more than half a year, and most of the enemies he encountered were "humans" like pirates. Such weird situations like today are rare. .

Seeing that the distance between the two ships was gradually approaching, he kicked his feet hard, his whole body was suspended in the air, and two groups of orange-red flames appeared in his hands at the same time, exuding a hot breath.

Afterwards, Hunter waved the flames without hesitation, and the target was the strange ship trailing behind.

He had discovered before that there was no breath of life on that ship at all, but even if there were survivors on it, now was not the time to be kind.

Mr. Hunter was not indecisive. However, when his flame was about to fall on the opposite ship, it failed to cause the slightest damage, and it turned out to penetrate directly.

As if, that ship didn't exist at all, it was just an illusion.

The real flame passed through the illusory ship and landed on the sea behind the ship, stirring up a large cloud of water mist, covering the strange ship and making it look more and more mysterious.

Afterwards, neither Mr. Hunter's flame attack nor the real guns and artillery could hit the ship.

This seemed to confirm that the ship behind him was simply an illusion.

However, this discovery seems to have caused even more panic among the crew.

Even though most of the crew members were soldiers, they couldn't help but feel fear and other inexplicable thoughts, silently looking at the companions around them, their eyes full of confusion.

Hunter took all this into his heart and knew that he could not delay any longer, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

He flew up, accelerated continuously in the air with the help of flames, and finally landed directly on the deck of that "illusory" strange ship.

I stepped on it hard, and felt the hard wooden board under my feet, which was genuine, but why couldn't the attack just now hit at all?

With this doubt, Hunter moved slowly and cautiously, and walked towards the stern of the ship that was covered by the ship plank. The reason was that there was a human figure leaning against the ship plank over there.

Condensing a ball of flames in his hand, he was always on the lookout for possible dangers around him. After spending several times, Hunter finally reached the stern.

He saw a group of people, what appeared to be a group of pirates who appeared to be playing cards.

It's just that these people dressed as pirates are all lying on the deck casually, some are leaning on the deck, with different expressions on their faces, some are excited and joyful, some are fearful and worried. That is, their life breath has dissipated completely.

In other words, these are all dead people, and when playing cards to relax, all of them lost their lives in an instant.

"However, if everyone on board is dead, how does the ship move? Why does it follow us?" Hunt expressed his incomprehension.

He tried, and threw the flame in his hand on the deck. As a result, the familiar crackling sound sounded, and the flames immediately scattered, quickly turning the entire ship into a sea of ​​flames.

"Is it that simple?"

Hunter obviously didn't expect that he would successfully ignite the ship, he was a little stunned for a moment, he frowned, looked at the flames flying up and down around him, and after a moment of silence, he jumped up and returned to the on one's own ship.

And the strange ship on the opposite side is burning, and it is no longer as illusory as before.

Not long after, under the gaze of everyone, the opposite ship slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

Holker tried to step forward and asked:

"Captain, that ship."

Before he finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by Mr. Hunt, who said in a deep voice:

"You will lead the next voyage. I will stay in the captain's cabin all the time. There is no urgent matter. Don't disturb me."

In fact, Hunter didn't know what happened to him, and he wasn't sure if there was any danger, but the strange state of the pirates on the opposite ship made him cautious, for fear of provoking some big shots that he couldn't resist at all.

Back in the captain's room, he pondered for a long time, and wrote down the details of what happened to him just now on the letter paper, and then held a ceremony to summon the messenger Miss Alice:

"Please forward this letter to Miss Louise."

Alice, who was holding the rabbit doll, was silent, she didn't seem to mind taking two missions in a row in one day, and disappeared immediately.

Mr. Hunter leaned back in his chair and sighed deeply:

"I hope Miss can explain this bizarre experience, otherwise, it's better not to go back to Bayam for the time being!"
