809 Peculiar Incident on the Ship (1/2)
Outside the black coffin, everyone waited for a moment and they saw no movement from the two red colored lights inside the coffin.
In the distance, the other people that had entered the ghost ship together were also taking note of the situation over here. They were waiting for the result of Ancestral Dragon King's investigation.
They knew very well about how dangerous this ship was thus they were also glad to let others risk their lives while they reaped the benefits.
The silence in the surroundings was stifling.
Ancestral Dragon King threw a glance and that half-god understood. He mustered his magic power and he first applied a defensive divine art around his body first. The divine art transformed into a tortoise shield and the markings of black tortoise also appeared on his arms. Only then did he braced himself to go forward and stretched his hands carefully inside the coffin to feel about.
The coffin was very huge and his hand was still quite a distance away from those red lanterns. Gradually, this half-god walked into the black coffin and vanished.
No more activity came from inside and after a moment, the voice of that half-god came from the inside of the coffin. ”They are really lanterns!”
Everyone outside let out sighs of relief and Ancestral Dragon King also relaxed slightly. They saw that half-god walking out from the coffin with a smile. ”The things emitting the red light in this coffin are really lanterns, they are two paper lanterns. I could only find one so I took it out. There's nothing dangerous inside... Why are you guys looking at me like this?”
That half-god carried a lantern and looked peculiarly in the surroundings. Everyone secretly moved back as though they had seen a ghost when they looked at him.
Ancestral Dragon King also took a step back and tightened his grip on his dragon head scepter.
Even he had never seen such a strange sight before so he couldn't help becoming nervous.
Luo Wushuang and the rest far away were also silent. Those disciples of Spirit Elite Guards were slightly frightened when they saw the situation over here.
”Sword God, what is happening?” Dragon Rearing Sovereign hid behind Village Chief and asked with a trembling voice.
Village Chief and High Heavens were old foes. Dragon Rearing Sovereign had also almost died time and again in Village Chief's hands. Even though there was enmity between them, Dragon Rearing Sovereign still respected Village Chief the most, therefore when he was in such a situation, he still subconsciously moved close to Village Chief when in such a situation.
As for Qin Mu who was his lord, Dragon Rearing Sovereign hated him down to his bones.
Qin Mu frowned as his gaze landed on the half-god who had walked out of the black coffin. This half-god was holding a paper lantern in his hands and the red light in the black coffin earlier was from this paper lantern. However, when it was in the darkness, it couldn't help make people thought that they were two red eyes.
The paper lantern was very weird and it would spin when the wind blew. There was a face on the lantern which was staring with its eyes wide open, looking at its surroundings with a smirk.
However, this wasn't what had scared everyone.
What had truly scared everyone was that half-god. On the neck of this half-god was another paper lantern.
His head had vanished without a trace!
His face appeared on this paper lantern and there was still nose and eyes. He continued to speak and asked, ”What is wrong? Why are you guys looking at me with that kind of gaze?”
His face appeared on the surface of the lantern while light still continued to shine from the inside of the lantern. It was as if someone had sliced his face off and pasted it on the lantern.
The light was dim and his face was also flickering between light and dark.
Ancestral Dragon King suddenly raised his dragon head scepter and tapped on the void. The lantern on the half-god's neck suddenly extinguished!
Pa-thud.
The lantern dropped down onto the ground.
There was nothing left on the half-god's neck and divine blood suddenly spurted out furiously. His body swayed and he collapsed onto the ground without any breath remaining.
”You will all die...”
The paper lantern that was in his hands dropped on the ground and rolled two rounds on the ground. The face on that lantern revealed a strange smile, ”Heehee, you will all die here and receive eternal life, connected to this ship forever...”
Ancestral Dragon King stepped on the lantern and extinguished the light in the lantern. With a solemn face, he said, ”Dressing up as god and playing the devil! I'm a great god on Numinous Sky Realm, you truly not know death by trying your tricks in front of me!”
He roared and the dragon head scepter in his hand smashed ruthlessly into the black coffin in front of him. That huge black coffin instantly shattered into pieces and gave off thumping sounds as they fell to the ground.
His battle power was astonishing and even the black coffin with the seals of the four deities couldn't withstand a blow from him.
The dust dispersed and miserable screams came from the pieces of the coffin on the ground. Fresh red blood started to pour out from the wood of the coffin.
Everyone was astonished and they hurriedly rose into the sky. They didn't dare to land on the ground.
Seeing the fresh blood coming out from those pieces of wood, they could actually see living human embedded on the planks as though they had been fused together with the coffin. Some of them revealed their faces and looked like relief sculptures. Some revealed half of their chests while numerous arms also grew out from the coffin.
These hands tried to grab here and there as though they were struggling to grab something. Some of these faces were warped as though they were finding it hard to breathe.
Countless miserable screams rang out. ”Save me—”
Ancestral Dragon King was at a loss.
Suddenly a face cried out. ”Ancestral Dragon King, it's me! It's me! I'm God You Fang, you had sent me here to investigate this ghost and now I'm trapped here. Dragon King, please rescue me!”
Ancestral Dragon King was astonished and he hurriedly looked at the half-god who was fused with the coffin. It was indeed one of the gods he had dispatched to investigate this ghost ship!
He had already dispatched five to six groups of strong half-gods to investigate this ship. There was no lack of existences on Jade Pool Realm and God Execution Stage Realm yet like clay oxen entering the sea, none of them had come back!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Never would he expect one of them to appear in the black coffin and was actually fused with the black coffin!
Suddenly, another voice cried out. ”I'm General Pan Qiong from Celestial Heavens' West Gate of the Military Camp, quickly save me!”
”I'm East Deity's disciple Qing An, I've been trapped here for god knows how many thousands of years, if you can save me, East Deity will reward you handsomely.”
”I'm Light Emperor Crown Prince Chi Xiao! Who is coming to save me? Light Emperor will definitely reward you handsomely!”
...
All kinds of cries came out and everyone on this ship was at a loss. They saw that the faces of the wood quickly shrivelled up and their voices became softer and softer. When the fresh blood finally finished pouring out, they had all turned into dried corpses that had died with a remaining grievance.
More and more fresh blood flowed out and they slowly covered the other seals on the deck.
Qin Mu said with a low voice, ”Village Chief, look!”
Village Chief narrowed his eyes and replied softly, ”Those seals on the deck are absorbing this blood. We can't remain on the deck any longer, we have to leave as soon as possible!”
The deck of this ghost ship was covered with circular seals and the blood was currently being absorbed by the markings on these seals. The seals gave off faint green light.
The runes that formed the seal gradually became darker as the runes swirled. Black colored coffins slowly grew out from the bottom of the deck.
Qin Mu and the rest had predicted the situation ahead of the rest and had already rushed towards the building on the battleship. The other people also reacted over and rushed there.
Behind them, huge black coffins grew out from the deck. They increased in number and were like a forest of black coffins. Banging sounds rang out as the lids collapsed to the ground behind them. Those were the sounds of coffin lids landing on the ground.
Qin Mu turned back to look but he saw nothing jumping out after the coffins had opened. There was only black gas coming out and they scattered around like pythons with no bodies.
