I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain

"Brother, I would like to remind you that in exchange for the spring water, you must give something precious on your body."

"Then they are like this too?"

Tu Fu's words were naturally directed at the townspeople kneeling on the ground.

"Rules are never exceptions."

You took something from them. "

"Perception."

"Perception?"

"The external perception of love and hate, joy and anger, joy and sorrow, after the exchange, you will no longer be able to appreciate the rights of being a human being. This is the price of eternal life."

When the old lady Shouquan said the exchange price, she was so happy that even the corners of her eyebrows were raised.

She smiled sadly, but under the light of the blue moon, the ancient well reflected a mass of blood-red color, which fell on the wrinkled face of the spring keeper like old bark.

Grandma Shouquan is like a greedy old witch at the moment.

These puzzles are solved.

Look at those young people and children kneeling down begging for water. Although they seem to be enjoying themselves, they always have expressions of neither joy nor sorrow. There is probably only one thought in their hearts, hoping that they can get today's spring water as soon as possible. relief.

Tu Fu's intuition told him that there was an even more indescribable horror and a desperate truth behind this.

He has no intention of exploring, much less digging, and his instinct for danger makes him resist doing this.

"It's no wonder that people who come here from other places are unwilling to leave. It's like losing their souls. Have they been deprived of their emotions?"

Tu Fu secretly lamented in his heart.

After losing those things, what I can do every day is probably just repeating the cycle day after day, living sadly and simply with the desire for eternal life,

Also just alive.

Originally, he was not very willing to drink the weird spring water. After hearing the harsh request of the spring guard, Tu Fu did not hesitate at all. He gritted his teeth and told the crew of the Demon Hunter Pirates behind him:

"Let's go, let's go now."

The group of townspeople kneeling on the ground begging for water looked at them with astonishment and regret, probably because such a decision was beyond their comprehension.

"Leave now?"

Victor, who had been waiting for a long time, was the most puzzled. If he felt strange when he arrived in the town just now, he should have left, but the spring water is so close at hand.

It's just a little bit worse, if according to the residents of the town,

As long as you take it for one full cycle, you can transform into a butterfly.

Wait patiently for a while, and then spend some small price to keep youth forever, immortality, this is the wish of many people from ancient times to the present,

The kings and emperors of the Northern Continent would probably find it hard to bear such temptations.

Sure enough, after Tu Fu gave the order, the crew of the accompanying "Demon Hunter Pirates" finally couldn't help their excitement.

Seeing that Tu Fu was about to leave, several low-sequence transcendents on the boat strode forward, their eyes filled with strong desire.

"Mr. Sparrow, you are amazing, but have you considered the feelings of ordinary people like us?"

"Grandma, if he doesn't trade me, I beg you."

"Eternal life, I also want to live forever, no matter how much it costs, no one can stop me."

Victor hurriedly stepped forward, holding back his crew members resentfully: "Manny, Modi, do you bastards want to die?"

"Captain, this is eternal life."

"Little people like us will never have such a good opportunity again in this life, please understand our feelings."

Those crew members have already lost their minds. Compared with treasures such as gold and silver, they, as extraordinary beings, naturally think that the most precious thing in this world is the fountain of youth that can keep alive forever.

After all, these people stood directly in front of the ancient well, kneeling down as the townspeople prayed to the sacred tree.

"Give."

The mother-in-law who guarded the spring did not refuse anyone who came, she poured out the spring water and handed it over.

Those people grumbled without hesitation, poured the spring water into their stomachs, and thanked the spring keeper repeatedly, as if they were very satisfied with such hospitality.

The moment the spring water was poured into their belly, just like the lady just now, the old wounds on the faces and bodies of these scarred combat crew members healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they danced excitedly in surprise.

"Captain, it really works."

"I have really become younger, come and try."

Victor Horta stared at the well obsessively, hesitated for a second, then turned his head cruelly, and followed Tufu, which always made him feel more secure.

"All crew members leave now!"

Tu Fu looked helpless, and with an unquestionable tone, he turned around and set off resolutely down the mountain road.

He naturally doesn't believe in the so-called Fountain of Youth, but it doesn't prevent others from believing and taking action. When he came, he warned everyone here,

Whether right or wrong, adults always have to pay the price for their choices.

"let's go."

Tu Fu didn't even look at the "Ancient Well" and "Sacred Tree" behind him. He gently took Miss Winster's white and tender arms, and made a decision for Sophie in a rather domineering way.

Victor trotted up all the way, "Where are we going now?"

"Go back to the boat."

"You don't think this town is safe either."

"Yes, I don't think anything is safe here. We can't afford to take such a risk. If there is an accident, we can escape by boat."

Tu Fu warned him that he should not stay in this ghostly place for a moment.

After all, when he was leading the dozen or so people away from this terrifying place, and just turned around to leave, Grandma Shouquan behind him raised her hunched back little by little, watching the group of people leave meaningfully. .

The same face with no sadness or joy.

...

"Sorry, I made the decision for you at will."

Seeing that the people behind him didn't catch up, Tu Fu heaved a sigh of relief, and let go of his palm, which was ready to lead Sophie away at any time.

Sophie is naturally different from others, even if she wants to try, Tu Fu will try his best to stop her.

"Why do you have to apologize to me? This is a good job. In fact, I also feel that something is wrong. If everyone can live forever so easily, wouldn't the world be messed up long ago."

Sophie took the initiative to hold his hand with her white hand, showing a satisfied smile, "Immortality is indeed the dream of many people, but what's the point of living today as yesterday and tomorrow as today.

I'd rather have nothing with this loss of joy its walking dead alive. "

"Ok."

Tu Fu didn't answer, he just held her hand tightly to express his determination, and then led his people back down the mountain quickly.

It is true that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain.

The people rushed all the way from the shore to the villages and towns, they were already quite tired, and the turbulence was even more tiring. There is a good hotel and they have to go back to the boat, which is really making themselves guilty.

Few people in the team can understand why the noble son who has always been picky about life is so abnormal.

The group walked for a while and finally came to the foot of the mountain, where the row of town houses at the bottom appeared logically.

After careful observation, those who are interested will notice that the fields here are incredibly fertile. Many melons, fruits and food crops are planted in the fields. Houses, shops, and temples are only lit with a kerosene lamp in these buildings.

A faint light is faintly visible, and there are occasional shivering cries from inside.

It seems that the cries of babies who are only a few months old, and the cries of children can be heard endlessly. These things that should be normal, but when you go down the mountain and look at them again, there is a strange feeling.

"Wow--"

Hearing the cries approaching, Tu Fu suddenly looked up and saw a family's baby climbing out.

Limbs squirmed forward on the ground, struggling to crawl towards the group of people who had just descended the mountain, waving from time to time, the gesture of raising their forelegs as a cry for help was chilling.

The crawling baby tried to open his mouth to speak, but only the sound of "babbling and babbling" came out of his mouth.

But with every step of climbing, the body becomes smaller and smaller,

The shouts that came out became more and more indistinct.

The members of the pirate group who felt sorry for it just now, saw such a scene, and at the moment they were only terrified.

These people are the ones who drink the fountain of youth. According to them, the cause and effect of life and death should be reversed, but it seems that even self-awareness is about to be obliterated.

I don't know what will happen in the end.

"Never mind, keep going."

As the leader, Tu Fu's heart tightened. The situation here was more complicated and weird than he imagined.

He still resolutely led the team through the town, ignoring the strange cries and calls for help in his ears.

Since someone who can go to this island is willing to take the risk of drinking the fountain of youth for immortality, he must be prepared to take the risk.

Even if you die because of this, you can't blame others.

The crew members, who were listless just now, were so frightened by the indescribable cries that their backs were chilled, and the group rushed back without seeing any complaints.

But after walking for a while, the accident happened again.

"We seem to have been here just now."

After the leading crew member realized something was wrong, he stopped and looked at the captain behind him helplessly.

Even Victor showed a puzzled look, "Everyone stop, we seem to be going around in circles all the time."

"Could it be that the road has changed?"

"Impossible, there is only one way to enter Rucheng, and there is absolutely no way to go wrong." Another person argued.

I saw the criss-crossing paths through the fields, they are intertwined with each other, like the complex blood vessels of human beings, and like vines that can hang trees,

The trees standing on both sides seemed to be given life, with their heads bowed like old people.

A few crows that came from nowhere landed on the branches and let out an ominous cry of "Wow". This group of black birds, when you look closely, each of them has a human face.

No matter how you look at it, it feels weird,

Their faces seemed to be mixed together forcibly, and the strange feeling after reorganization and splitting caused people's sanity to drop wildly, almost scaring the group of demon hunters and pirates to death here.

"All go to the left."

Tu Fu calmly gave instructions, and activated the hunter's senses without hesitation when he lost his way.

This ability at Sequence 8 is at most just for tracking down footprints and breaking down the enemy's moves.

But by the time of Sequence 6, he could already easily see through the mental tricks of illusions, and even dreamers at the same level could not easily shake his spirit.

Under Hunter Senses.

When the chaotic roads that had evolved chaotically appeared in front of his eyes, they tended to be unified, and turned into a road leading to the outside world.

After receiving the order, the group of "Demon Hunter Pirates" did not dare to stay for a moment.

Under the blessing of all kinds of fear, they urgently moved faster, and those strange crows with human faces fluttered their wings, followed behind the crowd, aimed at the people who were about to collapse, and attacked fiercely.

When the crew members' faces were slapped with a "pop", the crew members who were attacked screamed and fell to the ground covering their bloody faces. The gang of crows attacked one after another.

As for the human-faced crow that attacked the crew, after each person was killed, a "new face" was reorganized on his face.

This group of terrifying monsters, who came from nowhere, kept chasing everyone behind with screams of "Wow, wow, wow".

Every time you shout, the effect is like a whip on the horse's back, whipping everyone to move forward without resting.

Even if Tu Fu wanted to use his ability to kill a few of them, he was powerless after trying several times.

Once the falling human face crow fell to the ground, the distorted face reorganized again, and after losing a face, it flew up again, and the attack became more and more fierce.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The sound of the waves is already close at hand, seeing the "Witcher" docked on the sea,

Less than half of the people finally saw the hope of life.

At this time, the weird movements on the island became a little louder, not only the chasing crows with human faces, but the dense forest kept making "click, click" sounds.

The lush trees on both sides moved as if they were given life, blocking the way forward, as if determined to keep them here.

"It's over, we're all going to die here."

"Demon Hunter" Captain Victor Horta fell to his knees in the jungle with a slap, his eyes were blank.

Not to mention eternal life, the beautiful dream of ruling the sea is also destined to end here.

This is especially true for other ordinary crew members. Even with weapons, facing this extremely weird scene, their sanity decays wildly, and they can't think of resisting at all.

"Stop it!" Tu Fu howled towards the dense forest in disgust, he could no longer endure such suffering.

Just as the jungle was about to close, the ghost blade of the Lord of the Nether swept across his back,

Almost took them all away in one wave.

Tu Fu held Sophie with one hand to teleport at any time, and stretched out the magic flute in the center with the other hand.

Aim at the entrance of the flute and blow it down.

"Beep beep—"

The piercing and wonderful music appeared for a moment, but it fit everything in this crazy town, it was like a farewell song,

The extraordinary power carrying the magic sound overflowed to the surroundings.

The human-faced crows that were chasing after them stopped their wings in mid-air, and the movement of extending the branches of the trees that tried to hang them together also slowed down.

"what!"

Playing the flute against the crazy Tufu just felt a headache.

I just feel like there is a big alarm clock ringing in my head,

There seemed to be a continuous sound coming from the island.

A high-level being tried to forcefully instill certain information into him, but it was of no use except to bring him pain.

"what."

Tu Fu only felt that the world was spinning, and the original appearance of the island was unfolding in front of his eyes bit by bit.

He tried hard to open his eyes, trying to read effective information from this land full of madness and chaos.

"Wow--"

He saw the grown-ups turned into babes from the constant drinking of the spring water, and they crawled all over the town, wailing,

Immediately afterwards, they slowly melted into the soil, and finally their bodies gradually melted into a clear spring, irrigating and nourishing the "sacred tree" on this land.

It's like "photosynthesis".

The water level in the ancient well also rose as a result.

The crows with human faces scattered around, after the spring water in the ancient well returned, there was another new face on the face, there were old people's faces, middle-aged faces, and many young faces, but there were no faces. baby.

The faces are stitched together, and finally tend to one side,

All day long there is a whining howl around the island.

"Crack, click, click."

At the same time, on the top of the hill in the town.

The red sacred tree with a height of tens of meters seemed to finally show a strange bloody light under the sincere prayers of everyone.

The old bark, like the blood vessels of a dead animal, was suddenly pulled away layer by layer.

As a large amount of branch liquid sprayed out, with a "swish", one after another bloodshot scarlet eyes opened, exuding a cold and evil aura.

A bunch of strange eyes bloomed abruptly from the sacred tree.
