Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Chapter 677 Sudden Attack

At the southeast edge of the map, Zhou Ning saw the Water General, formerly known as Benson Hill, leading his pirate group gathering there. This was the fourth highest bounty among the pirate generals. He had the ability to create ocean currents, rainfall, and control water elements. He was also one of the loyal subordinates of the "Weather Lord" Valentine.

However, according to normal navigation routes, the two are on different routes and are unlikely to meet each other.

As the "Thorn" moved towards the southeast, Zhou Ning saw that the positions marked on the movable map in his hand were fixed and would not change with the movement of the ship, but the map markings were still accurate because the names of the people changed their positions as they moved.

Now the green circle representing the crew of the Thorn has moved to the southeast of the sea along with the ship. This means that when the position changes significantly, you have to restore it and open the live map.

After sailing for a while, Zhou Ning subconsciously felt colder and colder. There were fewer and fewer golden swordfish jumping around him, and the fog around him began to thicken. He saw that about two kilometers in front of him, there were several pirate ships with tattered sails. They sailed towards the south at a relatively slow speed, and they briefly intersected with each other in the middle sea area.

But the strange thing was that Zhou Ning didn't feel any signs of life on them. It felt a bit similar to the ghost ship he had encountered before.

But from the Marauder's Map, Zhou Ning could see the corresponding names on it: these people belonged to the Lightning Wolf Pirates, and there were about seventy sailors on it.

The Thorn ignored their intentions and passed by them on its own.

When passing by the two ships, Zhou Ning noticed keenly that on the Marauder's Map, the sailors on the opposite ship did not move with the ship, but stayed in place, and the number of names began to gradually decrease.

Wait, something doesn't seem right...

Zhou Ning frowned, turned around and left the cabin with a little confusion, and came to the deck. He suddenly saw a figure slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea in the distance.

At the same time, Zhou Ning heard a faint song coming from the distant reefs, which made his body numb and his blood seemed to freeze. At the same time, a debuff appeared on his panel.

[Siren's Song: You are listening to the siren's song, and your Willpower decreases by 5 points per second. When your Willpower drops below 25%, you will be tempted by the siren and leap into the sea. (Immortal Sages are immune to this effect.)]

Siren? Could I possibly encounter this?

Zhou Ning couldn't help but frown. In the background story of the world of "Apocalypse", the setting of the Sirens was somewhat similar to that of the world of Pirates of the Caribbean. They were typical supernatural creatures. The more powerful Sirens were even at the demigod level. They only appeared in dangerous waters, but it was said that the Church of Poseidon also controlled some Sirens.

These sirens have a powerful ability to transform. They can turn into beautiful mermaids or other creatures, often sitting or lying on the rocks in the sea, singing with their own heavenly voices, and using their bewitching songs to attract passing sailors, eventually causing them to jump into the sea, or causing their ships and people to run aground and die.

The sailors on the two pirate ships must have been bewitched by the sirens and jumped into the sea, which caused the strange phenomenon of people and ships being separated on the Marauder's Map. It is really easy for extraordinary people with low willpower to fall into the trap... Zhou Ning watched silently and nodded slightly.

Looking around, he saw that several meteorologists except Scott, Richie Burke who had just boarded the deck, and Captain Robinson of the Thorn all had droopy eyes, trembling bodies, and saliva residue on their mouths.

It is obvious that they all belong to those who lack strong will.

At this moment, the Thorn was shaken slightly. Zhou Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze suddenly stopped in the air, looking at the falcons that were circling in the air at some point in time.

What makes people's hair stand on end is that these falcons now have long black hair, snow-white skin and beautiful faces where their heads used to be. They are actually beautiful women.

Those sea monsters unexpectedly turned into birds and attacked the Thorn in the air.

They sang heavenly songs with malicious smiles on their lips, watching the sailors on the ship with their eyes wide open and heavy as they slowly walked towards the side of the ship.

A revolver sprang from Zhou Ning's silver-gloved hand, imbued with spirituality, activated Blood Echo, and added Revenge. He also activated the second effect of Divine Hand Beowulf: upon activation, it grants a significant amount of Light damage to all attacks for 20 seconds. With all buffs fully activated, he aimed at the Siren in the air and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

In an instant, golden wings of light appeared on both sides of Zhou Ning's body, and a stream of silver-white flames wrapped in holy light shot out from the muzzle and shot into the air.

The God's Hand Beowulf in Zhou Ning's hand gave him unparalleled finger precision, which was reflected in the fact that his shooting accuracy and attack accuracy had reached almost the limit in battle. While shooting, golden feathers formed purely by domineering power appeared in the air, floating evenly among a group of sea monsters - this was another big move of the Sky-Sweeping Wings, the seventh wing movement.

Afterwards, Revenge added to the effect of the Seventh Wing Movement, hitting each siren with incredible precision, while causing the golden feathers to explode one after another.

These skills all have a certain group attack effect. In an instant, a group of sirens screamed at the same time, and their hairy wings were ignited by the holy flame, turning into a blazing torch, which turned into a considerable amount of experience.

But for some reason, after killing a group of sirens, their numbers not only did not decrease, but instead became more, and waves of heavenly singing came from the air.

Patriarch Roger stepped forward at this moment. Without hesitation, he opened a small bronze book and pointed to a page. His expression became extremely solemn as he declared in ancient Faric:

"Interaction with the mysterious side is strictly prohibited here!"

Zhou Ning recognized it immediately. It was a copy of the "Code of Falric". It was originally in the hands of Smith Hall, but it was stolen by Patriarch Roger at some point.

Golden runes emerged from the bronze book and spread around.

Suddenly, the group of sirens in the air opened their mouths, but their mouths seemed to be blocked by an invisible force and could not open.

But then, the golden runes were consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The moment they were completely consumed, the siren's song sounded again.

But at this moment, the "social anxiety" angel Meredith quietly appeared on the deck and strengthened the rune with just a raise of her hand. Patriarch Roger pressed his hand to the page again and said in a deep voice:

"Violators shall be punished with flogging!"

As soon as he finished speaking, invisible whips appeared in the air and lashed at the sea monsters, causing their feathers to fall off, their skin torn and their flesh torn, and they fell one by one. Zhou Ning also mercilessly killed the sea monsters in the air one after another.

Seeing this scene, the rest of the sirens scattered, but they did not really leave. Instead, they hovered in the air far away, watching below with malicious intent.

Until then, Robinson and others who had been bewildered by the singing finally came to their senses. They looked at each other in bewilderment, still feeling frightened.

Meredith, who had changed into an elaborate white priest robe at some point, glanced at the sky and said in a soft but emotionless voice, "Be careful. Edin, the favored one of the Sea God Church, is here too. He's with Valentine, the Lord of Weather."

"These sirens are his pets."
