"Don't move,"
Long Chen transmitted to everyone. He quietly watched the dried corpses, noticed them, glanced around, then returned to his original appearance, motionless.
Seeing that the dried corpses hadn't moved, Bai Xiaole and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Feng and Qi Yu had followed Long Chen for so long and were unafraid of death, but now they were drenched in cold sweat.
"Boss, what exactly is this thing?" Qi Yu couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"You should know these things. They are undead, and you even came into contact with them back on the Tianwu Continent.
However, these undead seemed to have lost their spiritual power, appearing like real corpses, yet their soul fire had not been completely extinguished.
However, even among undead spirits, there are significant differences. I have seen some texts in ancient texts at the academy that record ghost soldiers borrowing passages, and the ghost soldiers recorded there are very similar to theirs. Long Chen looked at those beings and whispered.
"Ghost soldiers?"
Bai Shishi's expression changed dramatically: "That's the Ghost Path, one of the Six Paths. It shouldn't be in the same world as us. How could we have seen them?" "
The so-called paths of humans and ghosts are fundamentally avoided, just as day and night cannot appear simultaneously.
However, the 'Yin Soldier Borrowing the Way' is actually a matter of daylight and nighttime, hence the term 'borrowing the path.' Such matters exist only in legends, but we never expected to encounter them. Long Chen said.
"We saw things we shouldn't have seen. We must bear a huge karmic burden. Let's hurry and leave." Bai Shishi's face grew even paler, her voice trembling.
"You're such a silly girl. You've been so pretty for nothing, what's there to be afraid of? So what if you get caught up in karma? If you don't sow, you won't reap anything. If you don't reap anything, how do you know if the outcome is good or bad?
Since he didn't know the cause, who cared about the consequences? Since he was here, he couldn't just leave like this. Long Chen said irritably.
"What do you want to do?" Bai Shishi said in a trembling voice.
Long Chen hadn't expected that such a powerful Bai Shishi would be afraid of these undead, which surprised him greatly.
But Long Chen thought about it, it seemed that among these people, he was the only one unafraid of the undead, because he possessed the power of thunder and was specifically suppressed by the death energy. Bai Shishi's golden power seemed to be countered by the power of the undead.
Moreover, no matter how powerful a woman is, she will feel an inexplicable fear of the unknown in the realm of death—it seems innate.
Long Chen looked at the deck, sizing up the densely packed horrifying creatures. According to his estimation, when these creatures were alive, they were definitely experts above the Immortal King realm, and possibly even Realm King-level experts.
On one boat, there were millions of such creatures, but after scanning the area, Long Chen found that the huge ship was filled with corpses, with no treasures at all.
Long Chen looked at the mast, cables, and canvas, discovering that these were all treasures, but after years of erosion, they were all useless.
Seeing Long Chen's eyes darting around like a thief, Bai Shishi was speechless. Was this guy crazy, trying to steal things here?
But after looking for a long time, Long Chen didn't see anything valuable. Suddenly, he noticed a corpse holding a long sword in its arms.
The long sword was already covered in dust and couldn't be recognized, but when Long Chen used his soul to probe the sword, he felt his hair stand on end. The sword gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
"Treasure."
Based on Long Chen's years of treasure-hunting experience, that long sword was extraordinary. Looking around again, Long Chen realized that this was the only treasure on the entire ghost ship; the other beings had no hair on them, living in poverty.
"Don't move, I'll be right back."
Long Chen greeted them, climbed over the railing, and rushed straight for the deck. Bai Shishi watched Long Chen charge toward those terrifying creatures, feeling a chill run down her spine. Just how brave was this guy?
When Long Chen stepped onto the deck, the creatures on it were all startled and turned to look at him. Bai Shishi was so frightened she almost cried out.
But strangely, these beings noticed Long Chen but did not attack him. Instead, they quietly watched him, as if their minds had stiffened, unable to react for a long time.
Long Chen rushed all the way to the creature holding the sword, reaching out to grab it, but the creature clung tightly to the sword and still couldn't pull it out.
"Hey, hey, don't be so stingy. You're dead, don't just take up the toilet and refuse to work." As Long Chen spoke, he squeezed his large hand tightly.
"Buzz!"
He finally snatched the sword. The sword was covered in dust, but when it reached Long Chen's hand, the dust quickly fell away, golden patterns appeared, halos swirled, and the entire ship was lit up.
"A good sword"
has endured endless ages, yet the divine patterns on its sheath have not faded in the slightest. This is a divine weapon.
"Buzz"
Before Long Chen could take a closer look at the sword, the creature that had been holding the sword suddenly opened its eyes. Surprisingly, their eyes weren't shriveled. The moment they opened them, Long Chen felt as if his soul was about to explode.
"Damn it!" Without thinking,
Long Chen transformed into a flash of lightning and sped away, shouting loudly to everyone:
"Treasure in hand, hoo!"
Bai Xiaole and the others immediately rushed off the ghost ship. Bai Xiaole summoned the deep-sea demon shark, preparing to escape.
With a loud explosion, endless lightning erupted in the void. Long Chen shot forward like a cannonball, entering the flying boat.
As soon as Long Chen entered, Bai Xiaole immediately activated the Deep Sea Demon Shark and sped away.
"Boss, you're hurt!"
Only then did Qin Feng realize that Long Chen's shoulder had been pierced with a bloody hole, blood streaming out, staining half his body red. He couldn't help but cry out in shock.
"Don't look back!"
Bai Shishi and the others looked toward the ghost ship. Long Chen hurriedly shouted. Hearing this, Bai Shishi and the others quickly turned their heads.
Long Chen looked at the ghost ship and saw that on board, the owner of the long sword was standing at the bow, watching him. His eyes were cold and merciless, as if they could pierce through a person's soul.
The reason Long Chen didn't let Bai Shishi and the others turn back was because he feared that if they saw those eyes, they would develop inner demons, which would become a nightmare they couldn't shake off.
But just as Long Chen predicted, the creature couldn't leave the ghost ship. In the end, it sped all the way, the darkness gradually faded, and the sky cleared. From afar, the ghost ship had become a black dot, slowly disappearing from their sight.
The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, as if nothing had happened. Everything that had just happened felt like a nightmare, making people doubt its authenticity.
If it weren't for seeing Long Chen covered in blood, Bai Shishi would have thought she had just dreamed.
"Boss, how are your injuries?"
Qin Feng saw black fluid flowing from Long Chen's woundHer mouth was already rotting, and she hurriedly said.
Long Chen said with lingering fear, "Damn, I almost got caught up in the gutter. That guy is very likely a Realm King-level existence. That was close!" Keep an eye on the surroundings, I need to heal. As
Long Chen spoke, he took out a bone knife and began slicing off the rotting flesh from the wound, piece by piece.
