297: The Ghost Island That Eats Islands

“Let’s go, come with me to the sea.”

“Why do I have to go?”

“Because I want to hear some intelligence. As we go, you can tell me about the situation.”

Jiang Xiaowen's hand, holding the red wine, trembled slightly, but seeing Han Huohuo's seemingly resolute expression, she had no choice but to put down the wine glass.

“Let’s go!”

The ship at the dock was ready, and the Sichuan was waiting for Han Huohuo. Han Huohuo and Jiang Xiaowen boarded the Sichuan together and sailed out to sea.

The sea was vast and boundless, and the two sat in the cockpit.

“Speak, what exactly happened?”

“It’s nothing much, just that a while ago, an island suddenly appeared on the sea. This island is very strange; it moves like a large ship. Everyone was curious at first and went to explore it, but as soon as they got close to the island, they found that the sky above the island was pitch black, and then many white Ghosts flew out from the island. It was too terrifying; the Ghosts killed many people, and everyone was scared and fled. It would have been fine like that, but unexpectedly, it started moving towards other islands. What’s more terrifying is that it actually eats other islands, and then this bizarre island gets bigger and bigger, and there are more and more Ghosts on it. Everyone was terrified. The most terrifying thing was that it came towards Black Island, where I live. It scared me to death; I thought I was doomed. Luckily, I had a flash of inspiration and transferred the crystal to you, and all my troops and residents moved over.”

Han Huohuo looked at Jiang Xiaowen’s smug little eyes, suspecting that this girl was trying to seize his Wind Whisper Island.

Wind Whisper Island must be more beautiful than Black Island.

When Jiang Xiaowen returned to Wind Whisper Island, it felt like coming home.

After sailing for a while longer, they were almost at Black Island when the sky suddenly turned completely dark, which was quite frightening. There were no clouds in the sky, and no one knew where this darkness came from.

The Sichuan lit up its lights, and large searchlights shone forward. Han Huohuo somewhat regretted not bringing a sun lamp; he had no idea he would encounter such a strange thing.

Ahead was Zheng He’s troop. Han Huohuo went to rendezvous with Zheng He’s troop.

Dozens of warships in the Devil Sea constituted a formidable fleet.

Zheng He boarded the Sichuan and saluted Han Huohuo.

“Did you find anything?”

“Reporting, Lord, we engaged those Ghosts, but those Ghosts are a bit strange; they are immune to physical attacks and also to magical attacks. We lost quite a few planes and had to make an emergency retreat to a distance.”

Han Huohuo was surprised. There were monsters immune to both physical and magical attacks?

So peculiar?

“Get a little closer, I want to see!”

The Sichuan bypassed all the warships and sailed forward for a while. Zheng He dared not approach further and ordered the ship to stop, as going any further would enter the Ghosts’ attack range.

Without binoculars, Han Huohuo could already see a black shadow floating on the sea. It was a large island, and because the sky was pitch black, only a vague outline could be seen.

White Ghosts flew around the island.

He checked the data in the system.

【Ghost】: A creature transformed from a wronged soul, Tier 4.

【Combat Power】: Strength 20, Defense 5, Stamina 20, Intelligence 10.

【Special Skills】 Magic Immunity: Immune to magical attacks

Physical Immunity: Immune to physical attacks

Fear of Light: Light damage causes double damage to this creature.

【Drop】: Dark matter

【Chance Drop】: Various terrifying dark matters

Seeing the attributes, Han Huohuo breathed a sigh of relief. This thing was actually just a Tier 4 creature, not strong, but its physical immunity and magic immunity, two special attributes, were too overpowered. The Pirates of Devil Sea had no way to deal with them.

Light damage, he still had some ways to deal with that.

Zheng He suddenly said again, “Lord, the most sinister thing about this island is not just these Ghosts, but the island itself. It eats other islands; it’s very strange.”

“Eats other islands?”

“Lord, look!”

Because the sky was too dark, as the searchlights shone into the distance, Han Huohuo finally saw that this island was already very close to Black Island.

Black Island was a large island, much larger than this floating island, but this terrifying floating island, in the darkness, was like an open maw, gnawing at Black Island.

Han Huohuo watched in stunned silence, wondering if this island was a living creature.

What shocked Han Huohuo even more later was that this floating island was slowly growing larger as it gnawed and devoured Black Island.

No living creature could get fat immediately after eating food; there must be another hidden reason.

It was too dark for Han Huohuo to see clearly, and because Ghosts were floating everywhere near the island, he couldn't get close to observe.

Jiang Xiaowen saw the monster island eating her city and became sad, tears streaming down her face. There were many Thunder God Turrets on it, and those were all resources.

She calculated on her fingers for a long time, and the more she calculated, the sadder she became. This would probably be a loss of several hundred million.

“Da Ge, you must help me seek justice!”

Jiang Xiaowen cried, her face tear-streaked.

“Let’s go, we’ll go back first!”

The fleet had no way to handle such a complex situation. Zheng He left a few scout ships, and the entire fleet returned to Wind Whisper Island.

Han Huohuo immediately began to mobilize troops.

He had Han Xin bring over a few sun lamps, and then he had Mu Jiu mobilize the Angel troop.

He just happened to have an Angel troop that had surrendered, all with light-attribute attacks, and they would come in handy this time.

Black Island was very large. The strange island ate for several days, devouring the entire Black Island, and then became incredibly massive, turning into a behemoth. The dark sky's range expanded several times, even engulfing Wind Whisper Island in darkness.

Fortunately, the sun lamps had arrived, illuminating Wind Whisper Island as if it were daytime.

Han Huohuo discovered that the strange island's darkness seemed to have the ability to suppress the sun lamps, as the sun lamps' illumination range had significantly decreased.

By the day Black Island was completely devoured, the Angel army, led by Gabriel, had arrived at Wind Whisper Island, and Mu Jiu had also come along.

These Angels were very proud; without a Mu family member present, they would not accept anyone else's command, which infuriated Mu Jiu, forcing her to personally step forward to command this troop.

Han Huohuo sneered, thinking these idiotic Angels deserved a beating.

Now was a time when he needed people, so he did not immediately lash out.

The fleet set sail again. After the strange island ate Black Island, it turned around and sailed towards Wind Whisper Island.

The fleet went to meet it head-on.

Although these Angels had lost their ability of infinite resurrection, their limited resurrection skill remained. However, they could not resurrect themselves but could resurrect each other, though the skill's cooldown was quite long, a huge difference from the previous infinite resurrection, making them merely a relatively powerful Tier 7 troop.

The sun lamps went first, illuminating the dark sea area. The Ghosts, after being illuminated by the sun lamps' light, visibly became listless.

Under the illumination of the sun lamps, Han Huohuo finally saw the true appearance of this strange island this time.
