Chapter 1337: Boarding The Boneship (1/2)

After the storm, the group prepared to board a s.h.i.+p for the Bonesea. This group consisted of Ruyan, Jians.h.i.+, Daoist Puresun, Xiong Qianbei, and Fairy.

Ruyan was puzzled by this choice: “Why are you bringing Fairy along?”

Ever since Fairy got here, she rarely talked to others outside of Li Qiye. If she wasn’t with him, she would be in her room, alone. It was as if she was out of tune with others. She gave a surreal feeling, one of not belonging to this world.

Ruyan looked at the emotionless fairy and commented: “Maybe she doesn’t belong to this world and is an immortal G.o.ddess that fell down to the mortal realm.”

Li Qiye only smiled in response: “The world doesn’t necessarily have immortals or an immortal world.”

But regardless of whether there were immortals in this world or not, anyone who had seen Fairy before would be amazed and enchanted.

“If immortals exist, she would definitely be considered one.” Daoist Puresun was bewildered after seeing her as well.

At this time, Li Qiye’s group was waiting for bones.h.i.+ps. Another group of s.h.i.+ps had arrived, but Li Qiye chose not to board.

Ruyan saw that Li Qiye had no intention of boarding as more s.h.i.+ps pa.s.sed by and had to ask: “When are we boarding?”

“Waiting for a bigger and st.u.r.dier s.h.i.+p.” Li Qiye answered while staring at the muddled waters.

He took out a wooden box and protection talismans before distributing them to the group: “Stick this on your body so the skeletons won’t attack you after we get on.”

These were the talismans he bought from Old Chu. Of course, he was confident in distinguis.h.i.+ng good items from fakes.

The group took them and remembered his instruction.

“A big s.h.i.+p is coming.” After a long wait, a great s.h.i.+p capable of accommodating more than one thousand pa.s.sengers finally came. It looked as if it was made from a gigantic skull and emitted a dense white glow.

There were many skeletons lying on the s.h.i.+p. One was an unknown race with four legs and eight arms. A half dragon, half snake creature was present as well among certain gigantic skeletons. It could be said that there were more than just the remains of cultivators on this s.h.i.+p, there were also skeletons of fierce beasts.

All the waiting cultivators could only watch. A few big characters from the previous generation couldn’t help but lick their lips. Everyone knew that the bigger s.h.i.+ps were safer. Of course, the first condition was to take down all the skeletons.

Without doing so, climbing on board would simply be suicidal. However, the creatures were stronger on bigger s.h.i.+ps. If one wasn’t strong enough, it would be a foolish endeavor to board. Thus, as this huge s.h.i.+p approached, people only kept on watching.

“Come.” Li Qiye ordered and jumped up with Fairy. The rest of the group easily made the leap as well.

Afterward, they followed Li Qiye’s instruction and placed the talismans on their bodies. Sure enough, the skeletons didn’t move at all; it was as if they didn’t notice the intruders’ presence. The crowd felt quite envious after seeing the successful boarding. However, it stopped at envy since they didn’t dare to follow them.

“Is that a phoenix skeleton?” Ruyan noticed a particular corpse on the deck. It looked like a giant bird. Even though countless years had pa.s.sed and its bones had been charred, its divinity was still flas.h.i.+ng on the broken fragments.

It maintained some divinity after the relentless torture of time. One could easily imagine just how powerful and frightening this bird used to be.

“It isn’t that easy to meet a real phoenix in this world. It is a priceless and invincible creature, after all.” Li Qiye smiled and shook his head: “It is already remarkable enough to have some of a phoenix’s bloodline.”
