872 The Mysterious, Ancient Black Ships (2/2)

This black ship wasn't made of wood. The black deck they were standing on was made of some strange material. It felt rigid and cold.

Ao Bai didn't recognize this ancient ship. As for the demon scorpion man, he seemed to have some impression of the ship in his mind, but he couldn't remember which book he had read about this ancient ship.

This was the second time Bu Fang had seen this ancient ship. He recalled the time when he was at the Netherworld's Earth Prison, where he saw two ships tugging a bronze palace as they drifted on the Yellow Spring River.

Mysterious, strange, and inscrutable.

It had intrigued people. More importantly… those two black ships and the bronze palace now appeared on the Hidden Dragon Continent.

”This ruined ship… Who had just thrown us the rope ladder?” Ao Bai asked as he seemed to have something in his mind.

Bu Fang was dumbstruck, and the demon scorpion man looked frightened…

God knew who had dropped the rope ladder. There was nothing strange on this deck.

Bu Fang's target was the bronze palace because he found that the food fragrance actually came from there. Since this black ship was just an accessory, it wasn't his target.

Walking one round, Bu Fang came to the end of the ship, checking.

There were massive chains as big as a human's body connected to the bronze palace in the distance. Compared to the past, upon a closer look, that palace was much more imposing, majestic, and incredibly immense.

It was done with wonderful, incomparable workmanship.

Suddenly…

Bu Fang's eyes focused.

By the great gate of the palace, Bu Fang seemed to see someone. A person was kneeling at the gate of that palace.

Also, the food aroma came from that gate.

That place… seemed to be the source of all secrets.

”Is that palace… what my ancestor had pursued?!” Ao Bai leaned against the deck, looking at the mysterious bronze palace in the distance as he exclaimed.

But how to get to that palace was another problem.

”Those chains are the way to get there…” said Bu Fang. Then, he didn't say anything else, turning around and walking into the cabin.

If they wanted to reach that palace, they must go inside the ship and walk on the chain.

Ao Bai and the demon scorpion man frowned. Eventually, they followed the other, entering the cabin.

Instantly, the three of them felt a flow of cold aura expanding through their bodies.

Ao Bai turned and saw nothing there, although he had just sensed some aura. His blonde brows furrowed. He made some sound, and two swords appeared in his hands.

The air and interior of the ship gave him the feeling of something dangerous.

Bu Fang walked ahead. He clasped his hands, walking through the ink-black ship. Compared to Nethery's Netherworld Ship, this black ship was bright enough.

The ship's interior was luxurious with many rooms. However, all of them looked shabby.

They walked to the stairs and descended. However, as soon as Bu Fang reached the first step, some thudding noise echoed.

A skeleton rolled down from the stairs, making Bu Fang frown.

It seemed that… somebody was in this ancient, black ship.

However, they couldn't see anyone.

Descending to the second floor, there existed a door. Pushing the door open, he saw the big, rough chains at the bottom.

”We can cross it from here…” said Bu Fang. Then, he turned around.

However, after turning around, he shuddered.

Because Ao Bai and the demon scorpion expert were not behind him anymore.

It was only him in this ancient, black ship.

How could he not see them?

Another illusory domain?

Bu Fang exhaled, quickly calming down. Well, if they disappeared, just consider them gone then.

He lifted his head, looking at the bronze palace in the distance.

He leaped up, landing on a big chain. The moment he stepped on it, the chain shook.

The chain connecting to the bronze palace was dozens of meters long, and each ship was connected to the palace by three chains. Thus, there were six chains in total.

At the moment, Bu Fang was on one of the chains in the middle.

He steadied his body, waiting for the chain to calm down. When it didn't shake anymore, he walked forward.

Neither fast nor slow, he moved toward the bronze palace. However, after each step, he felt his spirit sea surge further.

This sort of surging made Bu Fang frown.

The Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife in his head emitted a melodic dragon roar as a mental pressure appeared.

Bu Fang clasped his hands and continued to move further, stepping on the chain.

The chain began to shake again, but Bu Fang was as steady as a rock.

There was something mysterious about this chain. After every ten meters, Bu Fang would feel his mental energy boil harder.

This would be a headache to Bu Fang, but fortunately, his spirit sea was really vast, so the effect wasn't big.

At this moment, Bu Fang didn't know that Ao Bai and the demon scorpion man had landed and were now walking on the other two chains around him.

They couldn't see each other.

Ao Bai gritted his teeth. His eyes turned red as his head endured extreme pain. The surging mental energy irritated him a lot.

The demon scorpion man, on the other hand, was shivering.

All in all, the two of them just wanted to get rid of the chain and reach the bronze palace.

Bu Fang rubbed his forehead. In the last ten meters, the surging mental energy gave him a headache.

However, it was still within his endurance. During the last ten meters, his mental energy would surge higher on every step. It felt like his mental energy was about to ignite.

Bu Fang opened his mouth, breathing out hot air.

All of a sudden…

The moment Bu Fang took the last step and was about to enter the area of the bronze palace, his chain began to shake hard.

Bu Fang was bewildered.

He turned to look at the black ship behind him, seeing a figure covered in jet-black robe. That figure suddenly landed on the chain, making it tremble hard…
