Chapter 626: Tide of Red Ghosts

Chapter 626: Tide of Red Ghosts

After a single morning, Han Fei received 58 orders.

Han Fei couldn’t help but regret claiming that he could only craft seven ultra-quality spiritual weapons a day.

Of course, he wasn’t too regretful. After all, it felt great to earn points on a daily basis. For example, You Lingyun and the others had already paid 40,096 points during the past month.

Actually, this was a fair deal. You Lingyun and the others were a lot stronger with their new ultra-quality spiritual weapons, which allowed them to earn more points themselves. A regular ultra-quality spiritual weapon only cost ten thousand points, and one with a sealed soul only cost between thirty to fifty thousand points.

Considering their income and subtracting their daily expenses, they would be able to pay off their debt in three months.

Maybe, it was hard to find ultra-quality materials in the level-three fishery.

However, in the Unknown Place, the difficulty had been lowered by at least fifty percent. The only reason nobody was willing to use ultra-quality weapons was that they were too expensive.

Buying one of such weapons would require at least ten thousand points, which equaled more than a million mid-quality pearls.

Crafting one required three sets of materials and the spiritual spring, which weren’t any cheaper, not to mention that the customers had to wait in line.

Han Fei had given them such a huge discount, and they could even pay on credit. Who wouldn’t be tempted?

Han Fei had just finished collecting orders and was calculating his daily profit, when he suddenly heard a loud shouting.

“Everybody, assemble!”

Immediately, everybody changed their expressions and ran to the camp.

Han Fei was not an exception. While he was glad to pick orders, he couldn’t leave his missions aside.

During the month, Han Fei only encountered one large-scale assault of Big Sword Water Fleas. However, they were defeated easily just like the Tide Calling Crabs were.

Nothing else had happened during the daily patrol, which made Han Fei rather surprised. He even speculated that maybe the Unknown Place wasn’t so terrible after all.

All the 66 squads were gathered in the camp in rows of five.

Standing on the empty ground ahead of everybody, he stared at them gloomily. “The Red Ghosts are coming. The squads that I call out next will take your boats out and leave with me immediately.”

Everybody was shocked when they heard mention of the Red Ghosts. Many of them looked greatly wary.

Confused, Han Fei asked You Lingyun telepathically, What are the Red Ghosts?

You Lingyun was grim and cold. They are tides of ghosts that are red. It’s hard to explain, I’ll tell you on the boat.

Zong Han roared, “Squads one through ten, and the 13th, 17th, 22nd… 37th… and 59th squads, set off with me immediately.”

Gu Daliang immediately took out a boat, and everybody jumped on it. All the boats took off in two seconds.

Seeing that everybody was grave as if they were ready to sacrifice themselves, Han Fei couldn’t help but ask again, “What exactly are the tides of Red Ghosts?”

Frowning, You Lingyun gazed at Han Fei, who sensed immense brutality in her eyes.

You Lingyun said coldly, “The tides of Red Ghosts are outbursts of Ghost Algae, which surge at the shore in the middle of tremendous poisonings. All the creatures amidst the Red Ghosts are poisonous and poison-proof. Once a tide of Red Ghosts burst out, it means that certain sea demons have lost their mind again and intend to conquer the Scattered Stars Island.”

Wu Xiaoxiao was also cold. She mumbled, “Our last captain died in a tide of Red Ghosts. Twenty percent of soldiers were injured or killed. I wonder if we’ll be able to repay the points we owe you, captain…”

Han Fei didn’t really care about their debts. His pupils constricted. “Twenty percent casualties?”

He took a deep breath. This wasn’t a Fishing Trial! Here, most people were Hanging Fishers.

What did a casualty rate of twenty percent mean? It meant that two of every ten Hanging Fishers that set sail would never return.

Han Fei asked solemnly, “How often does this tide of Red Ghosts burst out?”

You Lingyun replied, “Twice in a year at most, usually once a year. However, it has only been four months since the last outbreak.”

Leng Hui added, “It suggests that the sea demons are up to something.”

Han Fei frowned. He had been living such a carefree life that he forgot to collect the anti-poison fruits. If the tide of Red Ghosts was full of poisons, would he be able to resist them?

Han Fei wasn’t too sure. The Venomous Tulip was only the best anti-poison fruit in the level-three fishery, and he hadn’t taken a single anti-poison fruit from the Unknown Place yet. He didn’t know if he could deal with the poisons.

Han Fei made up his mind that he would not get in touch with the water, and that he must find anti-poison fruits as quickly as possible after the battle.

The boat moved very fast. In only half an hour, it had flown across multiple districts.

On his way, Han Fei saw boats rising from other places now and then. They seemed to be reinforcements too.

…

The place that Han Fei and the others were reinforcing was named the Path of Giants.

Why was it named the Path of Giants? Han Fei had already figured out the answer before he landed.

As it turned out, there was a fifty-kilometer row of pillars that were even thicker and taller than the trees in the wood.

Those pillars stood in the sea and stretched a hundred kilometers forward like a wall. At the bottom of each pillar was a hill of rocks, which were established there to prevent the sea demons from collapsing the pillars.

At this moment, two soul warriors and a spirit gatherer were standing on each pillar.

Without any exception, the soul warriors all used bows. They were crazily shooting arrows of spiritual energy at the red tide while the spirit gatherers ensured that the soul warriors had enough spiritual energy in their bodies.

No matter how awesome the soul warriors were, there were red masses of water that managed to surpass the pillars. Han Fei saw abundant insects, crabs, spiders and sea stars in the water…

From the boats in the sky that almost blocked it, countless people were fishing the poisonous creatures and killing them in midair.

This was only one line of defense, and there were nine such lines of defense in total.

It meant that there were altogether nine Paths of Giants.

Han Fei was rather astounded. “Even nine layers of defense aren’t enough?”

You Lingyun nodded. “There are always creatures that can pass through the defenses, so it will be a head-on clash next. That’s why we’re here. We must confront the poisonous creatures face to face.”

Han Fei gasped hard. Were they crazy? Fight the poisonous creatures face to face? No wonder there were so many casualties. Were they all killed by the poisons?

The boats landed at this moment.

Zong Han roared, “Teamwork, teamwork, and teamwork! Teamwork is crucial in fighting those poisonous creatures. Manipulators, control your pace. Spirit gatherers, ensure the supply of spiritual energy. Armorists, you are the main forces. Soul warriors and hunters, don’t charge forward like idiots…”

About 150 people, half of the Eighth Battalion, were here.

Judging from the boats in the sky, still more soldiers were being transferred to the Path of Giants.

Because he was sent to the battlefield behind the nine layers of defense instead of the front line, Han Fei didn’t know exactly what was going on at the frontier.

However, the battle had already started on this battlefield. Han Fei easily detected many squads that were fighting at the seashore twenty kilometers away.

You Lingyun asked, “Captain, do you have any antidotes?”

Han Fei shook his head. How could he have any antidotes when he spent all his time refining?

You Lingyun immediately threw a red vial to Han Fei. “It’s a regular antidote. If you’re poisoned, don’t hesitate to take it.”

At this moment, Zong Han had already led Han Fei and the others to the beach.

Zong Han instructed, “You only need to defend this place later. I’ll go reinforce the front line.”

The area Han Fei was at was swarmed with scorpions that had got here from underground. Those big black scorpions that had red spots even attacked below the mud without revealing themselves.

Someone accidentally stepped on a mud hole and immediately fell. Soon, they were caught by the venomous stings.

Han Fei clicked his tongue. It was not because his people had no senses, but because there were too many scorpions! They were even more than the Big Sword Water Fleas at the Skeleton Shore.

However, there were other creatures that were even more shocking than the scorpions. Han Fei sensed that some manipulators were faced with insects that were thicker than arms fifteen meters away.

Han Fei came back to himself and shouted, “Wu Xiaoxiao, you will take care of the underground. You Lingyun and Leng Hui, you will help Wu Xiaoxiao. My only request is that no scorpions are to emerge from underground.”

Wu Xiaoxiao immediately realized her importance. She could freeze the mud with her grasses, and it was a most appropriate decision for her to defend the underground.

Wu Xiaoxiao said solemnly, “Unless I’m killed, not a single Giant Feathered Scorpion will emerge.”

Han Fei shouted, “Daliang, you and I will defend the ground!”

Gu Daliang said solemnly, “Okay!”

After several dozen seconds, Han Fei and the others rushed to the battlefield, and Zong Han simply went to the front line.

Han Fei finally saw the first scorpion. It had dark red pincers and a bunch of sharp legs under its abdomen. Its tail was the most eye-catching of all. At the rear end of the tail were two rows of long stings like the feathers on an arrow. The sting in the middle was red and apparently highly venomous.

<Name> Giant Feathered Scorpion

<Introduction> This is a multi-legged sea scorpion with two pincers and eight legs that can allow it to move fast. It has 23 venomous stings at the tail, and the red one has the most intense poison. Those without antidotes will be killed within ten seconds if hit by it.
