A pirate ship was sailing across the vast sea.

Although the weather after a storm was the clearest, and the sea was calm and sparkling, the pirates on the ship had no time to enjoy this beautiful scenery. They were repairing the ship under the berating of their captain.

There was nothing they could do about it. Their ship looked tattered at this moment. Stormy weather was extremely damaging to wooden ships, and the pirates were already lucky enough to survive the storm. If the ship were fine, then it would not be a pirate ship but a ship of the sea god.

During the battle against the storm last night, the pirates had expended a lot of energy, and they were exhausted. But before they could rest for long, their captain urged them to repair their ship, so they were naturally unwilling. While they were hammering, they all saw the nails as their stingy captain while they gritted their teeth and cursed.

The sunlight at sea was especially strong. Even in the morning, the pirates quickly became drenched in sweat, and strong odors were constantly emanating from their bodies. Most of these pirates sailing on the sea had not bathed for years. Not only did they not bathe, but they also rarely shaved their beards and trimmed their nails. As long as you looked at a man with a dirty beard on his face and long nails full of black grime underneath, there was no need to think too much to confirm that he was undoubtedly a sailor.

While repairing the ship and scrubbing the deck, the pirates chatted. Although these conversations could easily turn into a brawl in the blink of an eye, no one would stop them. They would only cheer loudly and think of ways to join in, because to the pirates, this was a kind of liveliness to their boring life at sea.

In this kind of boring life, many pirates tended to accumulate a large amount of energy that they had nowhere to vent. So whenever they had a battle, they would become exceptionally savage because only by robbing and killing could they release their energy.

On the mast, this pirate ship’s black pirate flag fluttered in the wind. This pirate crew did not have a famous name. It was only because their thirteenth captain was called Reid that the pirate crew was called the Reid Pirates. If the captain changed, the pirate crew’s name would also change accordingly.

On a real pirate ship, the frequency of the captain changing was quite fast. Because for pirates who did not know what loyalty and honor were, maybe one day after drinking a few mugs of rum, they might revolt and change the captain…

On the crow’s nest, a pirate was holding a spyglass and observing the situation on the surface of the sea. Being a pirate was also not stable, as they could be facing danger at any moment. Their opponents might be the Royal Navy or other pirates. Even in situations with a good field of vision, they could not let their guard down.

Slowly turning the spyglass in another direction, the lookout’s vision flashed past the front of the pirate ship. However, something seemed to catch his attention, so he quickly turned back and looked straight ahead.

There was nothing in this direction just now, but why did a black dot suddenly appear

The lookout extended the spyglass in his hand as much as possible, trying to see what it was. Unfortunately, the spyglass’s clarity was not good enough.

However, as the ship continued onward, the lookout finally recognized what the black dot was.

It was… a figure!

The lookout could not help but shiver because he found that the figure was standing on the surface of the sea!

In the sea, there were too many bizarre things. The more curious a person was, the earlier they died. Thus, even though the lookout did not see clearly what the figure looked like and how they could stand on the surface of the sea, he still shouted at the pirates below, “Turn! Turn! Turn! No more forward!”

The lookout wanted the pirate ship to deviate from the direction of the figure as far as possible. Although the pirates did not know what was going on, they still cooperated and turned the rudder.

While the ship was turning, the pirates could not hold back their curiosity after knowing what was happening. They dropped their work and ran to the side of the ship, wanting to see what was going on when the ship passed by the figure.

Not long after, the ship passed by the figure. When the pirates saw the figure’s appearance, they could not help but gasp!

It was a skeleton in a gorgeous robe!

She was floating on the surface of the sea, and on the surface of the sea beneath her feet was a frozen piece of ice. Her hollow eye sockets swept past each and every pirate at the shipboard as the pirate ship passed. Every pirate who looked at her felt their blood run cold.

“God! What the hell is that?!”

The pirates drew crosses on their foreheads. Those with protective charms took out their strange charms and held them firmly in their hands.

“Hurry, quickly leave this place! This sea area is very ominous!” The pirates hurriedly acted in the midst of the chaos, lowering their sails and attempting to escape.

However, at this moment, a pirate screamed at the top of his lungs, “She… she’s following us!”

The pirates swiftly turned back to look. The robed skeleton had left her original position and was chasing after the pirate ship.

“Damn it! Quick! Go to the bottom of the ship, take out the oars, and row hard! We must get rid of her!” the captain of the pirate ship shouted.

However, before the pirates could run down the hold, their ship was already overtaken. The robed skeleton suddenly rushed up over the ship’s side and landed on their deck.

“Undead! She’s a real undead!”

Looking at the moving skeleton, the pirates screamed, all their voices turning hoarse.

Only Captain Reid remained calm. He roared, “Shut up! So what if she’s an undead? Take out your crosses and find a way to force her back!”

Upon hearing this, the courage of the pirates was finally awakened. A one-eyed pirate held the cross he snatched from his companion with one hand and a cutlass with the other. He shouted, “I’m not afraid of you!” to boost his courage and then rushed toward the robed skeleton.

However, when he slashed at the robed skeleton, the skeleton avoided him easily, and the next second, the skeleton’s hands landed on the pirate.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Continuous sounds rang out. A layer of frost quickly spread on the pirate’s body, and the sudden chill froze the pirate.

While the pirate was unable to resist, the robed skeleton suddenly let him go and made an inhaling motion at the pirate.

A faint green mist floated out of the frozen pirate’s body as the skeleton inhaled and then absorbed it. As the faint mist continued to be sucked out, the frozen pirate actually aged at a speed visible to the naked eye. His originally firm muscles became shriveled, and his skin grew wrinkled. Within moments, his entire body became as thin as a stick.

Finally, the frozen pirate fell. When he came into contact with the deck, his fragile body broke into pieces…

“Really can… increase magic power…” Cassandra said after absorbing the life force of this pirate.

The other pirates witnessing this scene felt a bone-chilling coldness spreading from the depths of their hearts. It was already very strange that the undead before them could move under the sun. Yet in the blink of an eye, she had sucked a burly man into a dried corpse and could even speak. How fierce was this undead?!

“T-the crosses don’t seem to work!” one of the pirates cried out while trembling in fear.

“Idiot! What’s the use of just holding them!” Captain Reid said with a headache. “Use the crosses on her!”

After hearing his words, a pirate holding a cross immediately handed the cross to their captain. Then a bunch of them looked at him eagerly. The meaning was obvious: Captain, come and try?

“I…” Captain Reid was so angry that he almost cursed out loud. Although he made the suggestion, he actually wanted his subordinates to go first!

However, when Reid saw the looks of expectation in the pirates’ eyes, he knew that if he retreated, his subordinates would probably cut him down.

If even the captain could not take the lead, could you expect the pirates under you to fight bravely against the undead?

Without a choice, Reid could only hold the cross and advance cautiously toward Cassandra. As he approached, he used the cross to point at Cassandra and said, “Filthy undead, this is the world of the living! In the name of the Lord, I command you to leave this ship immediately!”

The cross represented the church. In the sky above the ship, when Roy saw Reid brazenly point the cross at Cassandra, he had already sentenced this idiot to death…

As expected, Cassandra was furious after hearing his words!

This was because her mother had been burnt to death by the church under the phrase ‘in the name of the Lord’!

Cold aura spread out from beneath Cassandra’s feet, blowing her skirt up. Cassandra did not have much magic power and little combat experience. So at the beginning, she was following the method Roy had told her and planned to deal with these pirates one by one. However, Reid’s actions angered her, so she no longer cared about anything else and immediately unleashed all her magic power.

The cold aura swept through and instantly blew against everyone. The pirates were all shivering from the cold, and their barely remaining fighting spirit shattered.

They did not want to end up the same as the burly man. While their captain, Reid, went forward and entangled Cassandra, the pirates jumped into the sea.

Roy shook his head as he watched from above. Cassandra’s magic power was low, so while the sudden burst seemed very fierce, in reality, it could not freeze a single one of the pirates and gave them a chance to escape…
