Chapter 20 Exploring the Sunken Ship

The moss-covered deck is very slippery and has a steep slope. If you are not careful, you will fall and roll all the way to the stern.

Gao Fei and Jiang Feng reminded each other to be more careful and slowed down to approach the cabin.

The hatch was rotten, and looking inside through the cracks was eerie and dark, making one feel an inexplicable tingling sensation on the scalp.

At this moment, Gao Fei received a system prompt and learned that the interior of the cabin was dimly lit, and creatures without dark vision needed fire lighting, otherwise they would have disadvantages on Perception checks and attack rolls.

Basaka carries a torch with him. When lit, it can provide 20 feet of illumination, but it will also make himself a very conspicuous target in the dark.

"It would be great if we were elves or dwarves, born with dark vision."

Jiang Feng also felt that it was a bit scary to explore in the dark cabin.

Gao Fei held a torch and stood outside the open cabin door. He thought silently for a moment, then turned to Jiang Feng and said, "I thought about it again. What you said makes sense. The black bear's escape at the moment of battle is probably an undetectable foreshadowing, hinting that something is lurking in the cabin." There is a very dangerous enemy, we can't just rush in, otherwise we may fall into a trap. "

"Is this the way a novelist thinks?" Jiang Feng teased with a half-smile, "Why don't you wait outside, and I'll go in first to explore the way."

Gao Fei shook his head: "Think about the horror movie routine. In this kind of ghost place, it is taboo to separate and act separately. I plan to use an astrolabe energy to disperse the fog in the cabin and see what monsters are hidden inside." "

"There are only 4 channels of astrolabe energy every day. You used 1 when you brought me in before, and you will use 1 more for pathfinding. Then there will only be two opportunities to load files. Is this okay?" Jiang Feng was worried. asked.

"Let's try to pass the level once and get the best reward!"

Gao Fei barely pretended to be confident.

"Okay! Just do as you say!" Jiang Feng was infected by him and seemed to have high fighting spirit.

After the two discussed it, Gao Fei extracted an astrolabe energy and tried to remotely detect the situation inside the cabin.

"What did you see?" Jiang Feng asked impatiently.

"It seems to be zombies... There are no less than ten zombies dressed as sailors hiding in the dark corners of the cabin."

Gao Fei wiped away the cold sweat.

Jiang Feng couldn't help but turn pale when he heard what he said.

After a few seconds of silence, he pretended to be calm and said: "If there are only low-level undead creatures like zombies in the cabin, then there is nothing to be afraid of. Yang Yanzong's martial arts are specially designed to restrain the undead."

"It's Sumo who's not afraid of zombies, not you Jiang Nuxia."

Gao Fei complained in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be a man.

"When fighting zombies, we switch to a God's perspective and strip away the immersive horror. This is just an ordinary game. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Jiang Feng stubbornly shook his head and said seriously: "I don't like this approach that is almost cheating. Avoiding can't solve the problem. Only by facing fear can you defeat it."

What she said made sense, and Gao Fei was speechless.

"Anyway, let's take a look at the investigation report first."

Gao Fei opened the astrolabe database and dug out the zombie data that had just been included in the "Monster Manual".

…

Zombies are one of the lowest undead creatures. Their challenge level is only 1/4, their movement speed is very slow, and their agility attributes are extremely low. The safest tactic to deal with them is "flying kites".

However, the zombie sailors were hiding in the cabin and could not come out. The narrow space inside the cabin was not suitable for swimming. Gao Fei and Jiang Feng had no choice but to rush in and push the zombies flatly.

The special reconnaissance effect obtained by spending the energy of the astrolabe can only last for a short minute. Gao Fei has no time to carefully check the facilities inside the cabin, but only roughly notes the areas where zombies are distributed.

Not far from the hatch, there was a zombie lying on each of the two hammocks. Only when he smelled the breath of a living creature would he slowly climb down from the hammock and join the battle.

Of course, Gao Fei would not give them a chance to calmly prepare for the battle. After entering the cabin, he immediately joined forces with Jiang Feng to launch a surprise attack. He rushed to the hammock on the left side in one stride, picked up a big stick and hit his head with a big stick, and beat him violently. The zombie's head was beaten to pieces, and he lay motionless in the hammock.

Not far away, a dazzling flash of light suddenly erupted.

Jiang Feng's monk hit a "Sun Punch", sending the zombie who had just sat up from the hammock flying into the air. It hit the bulkhead and bounced back, and was decapitated by the flashing dagger swung by Jiang Feng's right hand.

Although "Sun Fist" has the word "fist" in it, it can actually be used on monk weapons such as clubs and short swords, and can also add 2d6 radiant damage.

Jiang Feng's gorgeous "Sun Sword" luckily triggered a critical hit, doubling the damage. After harvesting the remaining 15 HP points of the zombie sailor, there was still a lot of damage left over.

Gao Fei held a torch in his left hand and a blood-stained stick in his right hand. He walked up to Jiang Feng and whispered, "There are still many zombies on the ship. Save your energy."

"Well, I overreacted a little just now." Jiang Nvxia stuck out her tongue embarrassedly. "It's the first time I've met a living zombie in my life. It's inevitable that I'm a little nervous."

"You'll get used to it."

Gao Fei held a torch and explored the way ahead. Following the impression left by the astrolabe reconnaissance just now, he turned into a corridor leading to the captain's room.

When he reached the middle of the corridor, there was a muffled bang behind him. Looking back, several ferocious figures broke through the rotten bulkhead and rushed into the corridor, cutting off the two people's retreat.

"There are five zombies blocking the road behind!" Jiang Feng's voice was slightly trembling.

Gao Fei used the "God's perspective" operation mode, and saw more clearly than Jiang Feng. Just as he was about to comfort her not to be afraid, the heavy and dragging footsteps of zombies came from the other end of the corridor.

With the help of torches, several swaying ghosts are gathering.

"There are also five zombies at the exit of the corridor. It seems that only by eliminating them all can we break through the siege." Gao Fei said.

"The zombies in front are left to you. Try to block them as much as possible." Jiang Feng quickly regained his composure, "I will hurry up to eliminate the zombies chasing behind, and then free up my hands to help you."

I have made modifications to the professions and monsters involved in the book based on the reference to DND3 and 5.

In fact, many changes are very large and have almost nothing to do with the original version.

I will introduce the monster data in the story process. As for the professions, I will post the corresponding settings in the work related section every time the protagonist gets a new profession.

The two initial professions updated today are Gao Fei's "Berserker" and Jiang Feng's "Monk (Yangyan Sect)".

Thanks to the book friends: I have to think of 10,000 nicknames every time I name them. This week, I will reward 300 starting coins
