Chapter 245: Arousing the [Thoughts of All Living Beings] (Two in One)
With the guidance of the compass, the old man with white bones seemed to have mastered the backbone, and his pupils shone with light.
Even if avoiding the attack of the ‘Dragon God’ would reduce the efficiency of the ship, as long as it could sail in the right direction, with the characteristics of [Destiny Steering], it would sooner or later reach the outside of the barrier and break the three hundred years of curse!
Thinking of this, it couldn't help but get excited. The eye sockets that had been dim for who knows how many years were left with only empty bones, but at this moment, they seemed to be shining with an unusually bright light!
All that was left was to avoid the attacks of the ‘Dragon God’ again and again and survive the deepest darkness before dawn...
Then.
The curse was about to be completely broken!
But the darkness before dawn was often the most tormenting and the most difficult to survive...
The test that needed to be endured was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The ‘Dragon God’ seemed to have adapted to the resonance of the trident and the “white flute”, and suddenly twisted its dragon tail, as if it had predicted the direction in which the old man with white bones was sailing, and swept over!
"Oops!"
The old man's expression changed slightly. He had stayed in the lightless sea for too long. Although he had experience sailing in storms, it had been too long and his skills were a little rusty. Moreover, with only a skeleton body, his control, precision of control, and reaction speed of concentration... were all reduced. He did not expect that the 'Dragon God' would suddenly make such a correct attack.
The dragon's tail was a hundred meters long and covered with hard scales with black light. If it hit the ghost ship head-on, the whole hull would crack!
Seeing that the dragon's tail was about to sweep over...
At this moment, the rusty pointer of the compass suddenly swung to the left!
When the compass was usually turned, it was jerky and stuck, just like a knife that had not been oiled for decades, rubbing on a whetstone, making a sharp sound. But at the moment of crisis, the pointer swung violently in the direction where it could avoid the 'Dragon God' with extremely surprising sensitivity.
The handle holding the rudder also twisted in the opposite direction...
At this time, the old man with white bones realized the crisis, and his hand holding the rudder was not so stable.
The initiative just returned to the hands of the [Rudder of Destiny]!
After the [Rudder of Destiny] was guided by the [Good Luck Compass], it now only listened to the compass.
As the compass needle turned, the rudder also turned suddenly.
The whole ship seemed to drift, splashing countless debris, and suddenly dived to the left with strong inertia...
Boom!
The dragon's tail just stuck to the side of the ghost ship and slapped it down suddenly.
But this time the attack did not fall on the hull, but narrowly passed by the side.
A large piece of the deck on the side of the ghost ship was immediately cut off, wood chips flew, and strong winds swept by. Although it did not hit head-on, the power of the "Dragon God" was extraordinary. The dragon's tail swept by with strong winds, and several crew members were blown away by the wind!
When they left the ghost ship, the entire skeleton suddenly shattered, leaving only a head, which fell on the sea surface and piled up with the eerie skeletons under the sea, as if it had become a part of it.
For them, although it was not death, the hope of lifting the curse was completely gone!
The dead bodies that fell outside the ghost ship did not successfully get rid of the curse, but fell from one curse to another deeper curse, from the original limited period to an unlimited period.
"The influence of the white flute and the trident on the Dragon God has become smaller..."
"Yes, after all, it is a spiritual attack. The first effect is very good, but if it is the second and third time..."
"After adapting to the pressure for a long time, the effect will become weaker and weaker."
"And..."
"This feature will be more obvious when facing an enemy with a higher status than oneself."
Chen Ye frowned slightly. He sensed that the pressure brought to him by the Dragon God's attacks just now was getting greater and greater!
Specifically, the attack is more accurate and difficult to be affected by the chaotic spirit, interfering with the attack route and trajectory.
The 'Dragon God' is not a monster that can only use brute force. As a creature with a brutal temperament, it is born with a strong fighting instinct, even if it does not have human emotions, rational consciousness, and meticulous thinking ability... However, some species are born to fight, and their fighting does not need to rely on wisdom and experience, but only rely on a huge physique and instinctive muscle memory to continuously improve in actual combat.
"Now we need to rely on powerful ship control technology to avoid the attack of the 'Dragon God' in order to have a glimmer of hope..." Chen Ye looked at the old man with a little worry, doubting whether this old driver with a clumsy skill could bear such heavy pressure?
At this moment, the old man with bones exhaled a long breath, and his hands holding the oars suddenly became excited and laughed:
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that you, a little thing, would learn to dodge under the guidance of the compass!"
The compass trembled slightly, twisting left and right, as if showing off to the old man with bones, and seemed a little arrogant.
As if to say that even an old man like you looks down on me?
"Does the [Good Luck Compass] have the ability to avoid the attack of the 'Dragon God'?" Chen Ye realized something and his eyes suddenly lit up.
It turned out that the ghost ship's handsome drift just now just happened to avoid the attack of the 'Dragon God', not a bit more, not a bit less, it was not controlled by the old man with white bones!
It was the [Good Luck Compass]!
Although the navigation originally predicted by the compass can get rid of the curse, break through the darkness, and reach the outside of the barrier, that is the direction of good luck.
If the navigation route is penetrated by the 'Dragon God', it is definitely not good luck.
Therefore, when the ghost ship encounters the attack of the 'Dragon God', the direction that can be avoided suddenly becomes the direction of good luck.
"I was wondering why this [Destiny Rudder] has suddenly evolved. It turns out that the navigation function of the [Lucky Compass] has been added!" Chen Ye's eyes lit up.
The compass has the characteristics of [Destiny]!
Before the 'Dragon God' launches an attack, this characteristic can be triggered, and the attack trajectory of the 'Dragon God' can be predicted in advance, so as to dodge in advance!
As long as the opponent's actions are predicted in advance, any action will be seen through, and there is no escape.
The probability of dodging is greatly increased!
With the guidance of the compass, the rudder is no longer a reckless man who only rushes forward in the direction of destiny. Finally, there is a commanding brain.
The combination of the two is a complete characteristic!
Chen Ye can now safely absorb the [Rudder of Destiny]!
With the guidance of the compass, it is equivalent to adding a brain to the brainless rudder.
So it can be transferred to a complete profession!
However, the premise is that it must break through this barrier and reach the outside.
At present... the interference to the 'Dragon God' is getting smaller and smaller, and it is getting more and more adapted to Chen Ye's mental attacks.
Although with the guidance of the [Good Luck Compass] and the automatic driving function of the [Rudder of Destiny], the combination of the two characteristics has a high dodge rate...
However, the speed of the ghost ship is still a certain distance from the 'Dragon God'!
The most important thing is... the 'Dragon God' is flying in the air, and the ghost ship is swimming in the water.
Originally, the giant ship is an extremely bulky behemoth on the sea. No matter how excellent the driver is, due to the limitation of its own performance, if the 'Dragon God' can attack normally, it is almost impossible to dodge successfully every time!
Before, the ability to maneuver for such a long time depended largely on Chen Ye's resonance with the "White Flute" and the "Authority of the Sea God", and the weakening of the "Dragon God"'s positional characteristics in the "Sea God" sequence, so that it could support such a long period of time.
But now, the manic effect released by Chen Ye has gradually been adapted by the "Dragon God".
The original advantage is disappearing!
Buzz!
Chen Ye played the high-pitched flute again...
But at this time, the figure of the "Dragon God" did not even stop in the air, but was slightly slowed down, but the deceleration was getting smaller and smaller.
In the aura of luck, the blood light that turned into a dragon shape became more and more hideous and fierce, as if it was about to bite and break Chen Ye's neck at any time!
"We must find another solution!" Chen Ye frowned and whispered to himself.
Crack!
Crack!
At this moment, a strange bone friction sound suddenly came from the entire ghost ship.
The source of friction is like a bone with only vocal cords, without passing through any wall, only the simple vibration of bone friction, making a crackling sound!
This sound comes from every corner of the ghost ship, as if... crying?
Chen Ye, with his excellent hearing ability and spiritual intuition, heard these strange crackling sounds, it was the crew of the ghost ship crying!
The crying was filled with fear, as if they felt that death was only a hair's breadth away from them, with despair, sadness, and infinite fear...
These cries seemed to come from the "white flute"!
Or...
The prototype of the timbre of the "white flute" comes from the cries of these dead bodies?
Chen Ye often plays the "white flute", and is more sensitive to similar timbres, sounds, emotions, thoughts, and emotions.
It's like he can easily resonate with these emotions.
His mind moved, and he suddenly felt that his "white flute" might be able to simulate these cries and emit fear?
At the beginning, Chen Ye used the "white flute" to play chaotic music, which produced high-frequency resonance with the [Trident of the Sea God]. In fact, the magic music of [Soul Music Master] was used more.
This kind of music is higher-frequency, sharper, and has stronger penetration. The emotional tone is mainly chaotic. It was used to deal with the "Dragon God" at first, and the effect was very good.
But as the "Dragon God" adapted to the chaos, it began to become less and less useful.
So...
Can I change to another emotion to interfere with the "Dragon God"?
"Chaotic emotions are mainly used to interfere with normal consciousness and produce confusing hallucinations."
"Monsters with brutal temperaments are naturally chaotic in mind, so the effect is quite good."
"But these cries...fearful emotions...may not be so effective against these crazy creatures."
"Wait!"
"If I use the white flute to play sad, fearful, and desperate songs, resonate with these crew members, and make them cry similarly..."
"In this way, there will not only be the sound effects of the white flute, but also the chorus of the crew members' cries!"
"The emotions of collective consciousness are contagious!"
"Such a large ghost ship has at least thousands of crew members. As long as they can communicate their desperate emotions of fear of death at the same time, blend with each other, and spread emotions, then the characteristics of mental attacks can be amplified..."
"Maybe it can have a different effect on the 'Dragon God'!"
Realizing this, Chen Ye's eyes lit up, and he realized that the operation was still very feasible!
You know, in the past few hundred years, the crew may have various accidents and leave the ghost ship.
Therefore, most of the crew members who can stay here half-dead, endure the curse, and linger on are cowards.
They have gone through the test of time and are sure to cherish life very much, but when death comes, they will be very afraid, and this fear has also become a layer of protective coat. In the past hundred years, even if they have encountered various accidents, they still stayed on the ship, dragging the bodies of the cursed dead, living half-dead in this cage without sunlight.
For Chen Ye, if he wants to activate the [Thoughts of All Beings] and communicate the collective fear...
These cursed crew members are definitely the best audience!
The next moment.
Chen Ye immediately played a sad song, connecting the [Thoughts of All Beings] of the entire ghost ship.
The melody suddenly turned sharply from the chaos of high-frequency crazy bombing, and it was as low as the wailing of thousands of souls!
These wailing sounds, along with the cries of the bones on the ship, blended with each other and became one.
Soon.
All the crew members, hearing this sad song, seemed to have aroused the emotion of despair and became even more sad!
The song was trembling, as if they were afraid of the coming of some danger...
The crew of the entire ghost ship was trembling while listening to the song, and the crying became louder and louder.
The rhythm and frequency of these cries were becoming more and more consistent, giving them a special rhythmic law. When listening carefully, it was like a piece of music played by some unique instrument.
Chen Ye closed his eyes, he completely relaxed his spiritual power, and felt a boundless despair and sadness...
However, he did not resist this external emotion, but took the initiative to feel it, take the initiative to integrate it, and explore how this emotion affects the consciousness of all beings...
The more he integrated with this consciousness, the more he could understand the emotions in it, and thus create a more emotionally infectious tune.
At this moment, Chen Ye sensed a majestic spiritual power connecting with himself!
This thought, transformed into a majestic and pure spiritual power, far exceeded the corresponding level of his own position!
"Is that so!"
"Is this the power obtained by connecting to [The Thoughts of All Living Beings]..."
Chen Ye sensed that his current spiritual power was unprecedentedly powerful!
Even when facing the 'Dragon God', his heart was full of confidence because of the abundant power.
This is the power of [The Thoughts of All Living Beings]!
The conditions for activation are very harsh...
But as long as it can be successfully activated, it can temporarily gain power far beyond the current position!
The next second.
Chen Ye drove this power!
