Chapter 944 - 890: Ghost Ship Hero, Renior Revived!
Under the bombardment of the Blazing Angel’s Hell Crystal Rocket Cannon, thousands of giant crabs piled into a crab mountain collapsed with a boom. Elena’s Big Ice Seal Skill, Blast Technique, and the Radiant Wings’ Fire-spitting Cannon followed closely behind, while the Sea Demon Troop and the shooter corps on the Jade Dragon unleashed their full firepower amid the chaos to harvest the blood-soaked enemies.
As the battle reached this moment, victory was inevitable. In the murky sea water, a subtle yet meaningful glow shone brilliantly at the bottom, where the heavily scarred, ice-encrusted crab hero attempted to burrow away.
Da Fei laughed, waving his hand, and the entire Sea Demon Troop darted forward like torpedoes to finish him off, and then what should happen finally occurred:

...
The battle is over, upgrades achieved, achievements obtained, and legion special skills gained! Amidst the flood of system messages, Da Fei’s primary concern was the spoils of war.
Of course, even if there is no loot comparable to the Hell Treasured Crystal, it doesn’t matter. Even if the tides cannot be used to launch a robbery, the significance of this victory itself cannot be measured by items; one only needs to demonstrate sincerity in cooperating with the Necromancer Dragon.
When Da Fei saw the attributes of the Nether Sea Night Pearl and a large pile of Nether Sea Pearls, he couldn’t help but pause. Another enhancement-type item! What difference does this reduction in dark creature special effects have with the recently upgraded legion special skills? It should be the same feature, right? It should be stackable, right?
And this legion special skill is only at intermediate now; surely it will have intermediate and advanced levels after upgrading, right? Meaning, while the legion upgrade’s attack and defense bonuses may not be substantial, the power lies in the legion special skill, equivalent to giving the entire legion more skills. If fifty-something pearls are embedded in the Angels’ Dragon Blood Armor, then the Angel Army would truly be a nemesis to the undead!
Da Fei understood he should have made a good deal in this battle. He finally realized why the Necromancer Dragon wasn’t fond of the Giant Crab Clan. These giant crabs were the nemesis to the undead, especially for relying on various aging and evasive techniques to counter the Necromancer Dragon.
If I could cripple the Giant Crab Clan and then recruit them into our partnership, wouldn’t my conquest of the Nether Sea gain a significant boost? At this moment, Da Fei was deep in contemplation.
Meanwhile, Radiant Wings was like a giant smoke extractor, frantically absorbing the battlefield’s white fog and death energy. Simultaneously, the sound of crashing waves was heard from the horizon, the silver moon was full, and the tide was finally rising.
To prevent the sailboat from being washed into the rocky area by the tide, Radiant Wings and the Jade Dragon immediately set sail towards the deep sea. The next step was to rely on Yasoro. Not only did I help him draw enemy fire, but I also wiped out an entire Heroic Legion for him. With so many ships and soldiers, if he can’t handle this, there’s really no excuse.
Now, to prepare for any possible ensuing challenges, Da Fei embedded the first pearl into the Angels’ Dragon Blood Armor. As the armor flashed with black light, an additional attribute appeared—this item is indeed incredible! It’s a pity they’re all B-level; it seems this S-level Nether Sea Night Pearl is worthy of being my Divine Artifact.
Alright, quickly upgrade the equipment for the entire Angel Army. Just as Da Fei was busy, the World Channel made an announcement:
——China Region Announcement: Warm congratulations! Southeast Asia Region and South America Region officially launched with grandeur, adding another 20 million new players globally to the Heroic Creation Era family...
——World Channel: The New World National War Zone will officially open to all regions worldwide in 10 days. Players are encouraged to prepare for entering the New World. Starting immediately, the official website will release the already public New World atlas, monster index, force listings, and players are advised to take note.
Instantly, tycoon players on the World Channel were in an uproar: "Finally waiting for the New World to open, but it’s another 10 days!"
"Does this mean Southeast Asia Region and South America Region will catch up to our two months of leveling progress in 10 days?"
"They opened a free hanging system in the mall, thinking others!"
"Stop arguing, with your skills, entering the National War Zone will surely only lead to giving foreigners your equipment and dying. Better grab the chance now to cling to the experts!"
...
Da Fei couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious, ten days! It takes me at least a week just to travel through the Eastern World, not to mention possibly going to Fire Dragon Island, and I also need to discuss with Makar about how to take over the two gemstone mines in Blood Sea. I simply don’t have enough time!
However, seeing the discussions on the World Channel, Da Fei felt somewhat relieved. Come to think of it, the New World is in chaos, and I’ve already drawn so much animosity; why should I be the first to go there? If others are attacking me day and night, I wouldn’t be able to handle it. After all, I’m just a commercial player, not a contestant player.
In short, you all go and have your battles in the New World. I’ll stabilize my territory at home first. When you all are exhausted, I’ll make my grand entrance!
While contemplating, a long sigh suddenly came from the cabin.
Da Fei was startled: "What is that?"
Anlicia immediately reacted: "Is it Captain Renior?"
From inside the cabin came a hearty laugh: "Indeed, it’s me! I’ve awakened again!"
As he spoke, the shadow of a middle-aged sailor with a big beard, dressed in a captain’s uniform, suddenly appeared in front of Da Fei. Man, I’ve fought four or five major battles in the Nether Sea and killed thousands of Sea Monsters, and I’ve finally fed you awake!
Da Fei laughed heartily: "Congratulations, Old Captain, did you rest well?"
Renior laughed: "Every time I wake up, it’s always in the Nether Sea. Actually, I was ready to never wake up again. How many years have I rested?"
Anlicia laughed: "Not even half a year!"
Renior praised: "Choosing to collaborate with a warrior was truly a wise decision. Alright, I’ll show everyone the results of my dormancy!"
With that, he waved his hand, and the entire ship, Radiant Wings, flashed with black light, and a faint black glow immediately emanated around the ship’s hull.
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched: "Is this, a Hero Aura?"
Renior laughed with emotion: "Exactly! I absorbed energy from Skira’s avatar, plus a large amount of Undead Energy, and finally restored my heroic status! But I’m a Ghost Ship, so I’m a Ghost Ship Hero. My hero attributes only affect the Ghost Ship—not ordinary, lifeless, and levelless ships—so I don’t even know how to define myself, but at least I can enhance myself."
Da Fei was stunned: "So, it’s a building-type hero!"
Renior was surprised: "Building-type? You’ve seen it?"
Da Fei laughed: "Of course! The Nasir Ancient Tree is one! As soon as I saw him, I thought the captain might grow into a similar hero, and it turns out to be true!"
As they were talking, the Teleportation Array flashed, and Katelina and Selvia hurriedly came over to visit: "Jade Dragon’s Defense +100, light weapon damage -5, and Durability can Self-Heal!"
Da Fei was overjoyed: "Is this the Old Captain’s hero attribute?"
Renior was also surprised: "I didn’t expect such a large friendly ship of yours to also be a Ghost Ship?"
Everyone marveled at each other and burst into laughter.
Renior said with emotion: "A warrior always surprises me. However, my Hero Aura is not permanent; it consumes my stored energy. I suggest turning it off when not in battle. Alright, in gratitude for the surprises the warrior has given me, I shall continue to sleep and store my strength, but it’s different now: whenever the warrior or this Captain Miss Anlicia has something, you can ring the bell in the cockpit to call me."
Katelina hurriedly asked: "Our next battle is in the dark sea under the Arctic Ice Cap; can the Old Captain lead the way?"
Renior was amazed: "There’s a sea under the Arctic Ice Cap? This is my first time hearing that. Excellent, be sure to wake me up then! I’ll go to sleep. Good night!"
Everyone cheered! Da Fei felt even more relieved, knowing that with this experienced captain leading the way, even the Arctic was nothing to fear!
Just then, five fireworks shot up in the distance and exploded with a bang, is that Yasoro?
Katelina chuckled: "He succeeded, 5000 units of cargo! That’s a signal for us to hit the road quickly."
Da Fei was overjoyed: "That much?"
Katelina shook her head and sighed: "Not much, a large Sail and Oar Ship only has a cargo hold of about 500 units."
Is that so! But won’t having enough ships solve that? Now Da Fei was delighted upon delighted, full of luck and high-spirited, he waved grandly: "Return to Fatalon!"
