"A wrecked ship?"
Su Ye’s eyes flickered as a thoughtful look crossed his face.
Wrecked ships often drifted through these waters.
Their crews were either slaughtered by demonic beasts or plundered and killed by rogue cultivators.
The Luo Family’s patrol teams would find one or two such vessels on the open sea every month or so.
For Su Ye, such things were a common sight.
’But... sothing that can make the Ghostly Flood Dragon feel a sense of longing?’
"What’s so special about this spirit ship?" Su Ye muttered to himself.
The Ghostly Flood Dragon’s sails turned, drawing closer to the wrecked vessel.
OMM.
Su Ye focused his mind, his Divine Sense spreading out to ticulously inspect the spirit ship.
The ship wasn’t particularly large, only a few dozen zhang long.
With his current Divine Sense, examining its every detail was as easy as reading the lines on his palm!
Within a few dozen breaths, his Divine Sense had clearly scouted every inch of the spirit ship.
He gathered a great deal of information.
The ship appeared to be a small Demon Hunting Ship belonging to Loose Cultivators.
The Ice Crystal Pod contained the at of so first-rank demonic beasts, but other than that, there was nothing unusual.
’But... it’s strange. The entire ship is empty, and there are no signs of a fight.’
’Furthermore, the Ice Crystal Pod is undamaged. This doesn’t look like the work of rogue cultivators or demonic beasts...’
’So... where did the people on board go?’
Su Ye frowned, his fingers tapping a rhythmic beat on the ship’s railing.
He wanted to fly over and board the spirit ship, but he felt a faint sense of unease.
’Besides, anything that can make the Ghostly Flood Dragon feel desire must be extraordinary. I can’t be careless.’
After a mont’s hesitation, Su Ye’s thoughts turned.
He ordered Blood Scythe and a dozen or so other cursed crew mbers to board the ship and investigate in his place.
Ever since the Ghostly Flood Dragon had beco a supre-grade spirit ship, the maximum number of cursed crew mbers had also increased.
Aside from the cursed crew mbers who were out hunting for souls, Su Ye had selected a dozen or so of the most outstanding ones to serve on the ship long-term, making up for the crew’s weakness in combat.
THUD.
The cursed crew mbers used ropes to swing across and board the wrecked spirit ship.
"Everything is normal," Blood Scythe reported.
Su Ye stood quietly, waiting for his loyal cursed crew mbers to bring him good news.
However...
「About an incense stick’s worth of ti later.」
Su Ye’s expression suddenly darkened.
’They’ve vanished...?’
Su Ye’s brow twitched.
His Divine Sense hadn’t detected the slightest anomaly.
And yet, one of his cursed crew mbers had inexplicably vanished into thin air?!
Then, it was as if so kind of chanism or spell had been triggered.
Like a phantom wind blowing through a hall, extinguishing all the red candles in an instant.
SHHIIK!
The dozen or so cursed crew mbers who had entered the ship’s cabin vanished from Su Ye’s senses at an incredible speed!
Until... there were none!
In a matter of breaths, the dozen or so cursed crew mbers—who would have given even a Foundation Establishnt cultivator so trouble—vanished completely without a sound!
...
And just then, a soft PATTER rang out.
Su Ye turned his head to look.
The next mont, his pupils contracted violently!
Four pale, slender, water-stained fingers slowly gripped the railing of the Ghostly Flood Dragon.
"HIIISSSS..."
A sharp, piercing sound, as if filled with despair and venom, echoed in the air.
Along with the sound, a pale, desiccated, and slender figure about the size of an ape leaped onto the deck!
The monster lunged forward, its ten fingers spread wide like a great net, clawing for Su Ye’s head!
WHOOSH!
A foul wind blasted him in the face!
It carried the salty stench of the sea and a malevolent aura like that of a rotting corpse!
Su Ye’s eyes sharpened, and he acted without a second thought.
ZING!
The Frost Thorn Spear appeared.
It transford into a sharp, silver streak of light and shot forward with a whistle!
PFFT!
The nigh-indestructible Frost Thorn Spear passed through the pale monster as if it were just an illusion of smoke and mist!
It passed straight through the creature’s body without any resistance.
’Physical immunity?’
Su Ye’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The Magical Power of a Late-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator surged, stirring the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!
CH-CH-CH-CH!
Countless ice spikes, water jets, and mist blades shot out like a violent storm!
However, the pale monster’s body passed through the nurous spells without any hindrance, as if it existed in another world!
’Magic is also ineffective?’
At the sa ti, its figure suddenly accelerated!
SHUNK.
A pair of bestial claws, reeking of a foul wind, ca whistling toward him!
Aiming for Su Ye’s head!
Its crimson eyes revealed a shockingly human-like brutality and malice!
The monster seed to have already foreseen the mont its blade-like claws would pierce Su Ye’s eyes and skull, churning the red and white matter within into pulp!
However, with a muffled BANG, a wave of corporeal, surging energy burst outward!
Su Ye was completely unhard.
The pale monster, on the other hand, shrieked strangely in pain!
At this mont, a layer of crystalline, jade-like light was shimring over Su Ye’s skin!
The jade-like light was faint, yet it emanated an immortal and indestructible aura, like that of vajra and liuli!
The seventh stage of Body Refining!
A terrifying physique comparable to a second-rank, high-grade demonic beast.
Combined with attribute enhancents, Su Ye’s Defense Power was simply horrifying!
"Caught you."
A cruel smile touched the corners of Su Ye’s lips.
SWISH.
His fair, jade-colored hand moved at a speed that seed slow but was actually lightning-fast, seizing the pale monster’s bestial claw!
Only then did the pale monster react, shrieking and howling miserably as it clawed wildly at Su Ye’s body.
But it was useless!
The faint, jade-colored light rely rippled. Claw marks appeared for a brief mont before vanishing imdiately!
"You’ve had your turn scratching at . Isn’t it my turn now?"
Su Ye let out a savage laugh.
Then, he raised his right hand, holding his fingers together.
Like the tip of a spear, he aid for the pale monster’s chest and thrust with all his might!
SQUELCH!
Su Ye’s hand pierced through the monster’s chest as easily as splitting bamboo, and then right through the deck!
He pinned the monster down firmly, like a nail!
At that mont, a strong sense of desire ca from the Ghostly Flood Dragon through their [Harmony].
’It’s eager to devour this monster... Well, alright then.’
Su Ye would naturally not refuse the spirit ship on which his own life depended.
OMM.
A bloody light shone.
A crimson vortex materialized beneath the pale monster’s body, and countless blood-red tendrils, as thin as hairs, bound the creature.
SHHHLURP.
Like a Venus flytrap feeding, the ship swallowed it into its hull.
The Ghostly Flood Dragon seed as if it had consud a powerful tonic.
Through the [Harmony], he received a sensation of digestion, like a feeling of being full.
’Seems like a good thing?’ Su Ye mused.
At that mont, the entire deck fell silent, and the crew mbers were looking at Su Ye with rather strange expressions.
After a long mont, Zhao Li approached and asked worriedly,
"Captain, what... were you just doing?"
"A monster attacked . It’s fine, I’ve already dealt with it."
Su Ye waved his hand dismissively.
"What monster?"
Zhao Li blinked, looking baffled.
"Hm?!"
"You... you can’t see it?"
A look of bewildernt appeared in Su Ye’s eyes as he asked in return.
’Why is there more and more weird stuff in this part of the sea?’
