Slowly clarifying his own situation, Lu Ye imdiately understood that this was a dangerous place, and it was not suitable to stay for long! The information he currently possessed seed comprehensive, but in reality, it was utterly useless. In such an environnt, it was naturally wise to slip away first.
As for the opportunity Fong Rumo ntioned... whatever opportunity it was, ensuring his own safety was the priority.
Instantly, he stepped outside.
Xu Qingwei caught up quickly, "Captain, is everything really alright?"
Lu Ye originally didn't want to pay attention to her, but after a mont's thought, he turned his head and said coldly, "I'm going out for a walk, don't follow!"
Xu Qingwei then stopped moving forward.
Lu Ye walked out of the cabin and discovered that his current location was the third layer of the battleship, the sa layer the doppelganger first explored, and the place he had just been was roughly where the Central Hub of the Long Dragon battleship was located.
Looking up, he saw the sky full of stars covering the view, the Long Dragon battleship was currently sailing in the stellar space.
Lu Ye tried to locate his familiar Taiyang Star and Taibai Star, but found nothing.
This made his heart sink; the previous unexpected changes were already strange enough, and now even the environnt seed to have changed?
He couldn't afford to think too much about it at the mont; what needed to be done was to leave here quickly.
With a leap, he flew outward, but soon Lu Ye sensed trouble, as he realized he couldn't leave this spirit ark no matter how he flew. He could only linger within a range of a hundred zhang from the spirit ark, as the Long Dragon battleship seed to have a mysterious force holding him tightly within it. He didn't notice it usually, only when he wanted to leave did it take effect.
Such a thod was already beyond his understanding.
Things were indeed not that simple.
Even though he was ntally prepared, upon discovering this issue, Lu Ye couldn't help but frown.
It seed related to his current identity; as the captain of the Long Dragon battleship, naturally, he was tightly bound to it, as the saying goes, 'As long as the battleship exists, so shall he, and if the battleship dies, he will perish.'
Just as this thought sprung out of his mind, Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat, vaguely feeling a sense of impending catastrophe.
"Enemy attack!" Suddenly, a loud shout echoed across the deck, and Lu Ye looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a young cultivator at the top of the mast's lookout, loudly warning.
Lu Ye hurriedly scanned the surroundings and indeed saw traces in one direction; it was three battleships different in shape from the Long Dragon battleship, rapidly approaching in a triangular formation.
From afar, the front end of those three battleships lit up, evidently gathering power.
When Lu Ye was in the Nine Provinces, he had dealt with battleships before; the Haotian Alliance of Nine Provinces had a kind of flying dragon battleship, specialized in siege and would possess imnse power, incomparable to the force cultivators could exert.
Battleships within the domain were already significant, let alone those outside the domain; who knows what level the three rapidly approaching battleships were at, targeting the Long Dragon battleship, Lu Ye imdiately felt things were not looking good.
Moreover, he was unable to fly away from this battleship.
After the warning sound was issued, crew mbers began running over from various places, distributing themselves into array hubs on the deck, quickly taking their respective duties.
One female crew mber, when passing by Lu Ye, transmitted an audio ssage, "Quickly go back to the place you ca from, don't die too many tis, otherwise you'll never be able to escape!"
Lu Ye turned his head, looking at the girl's back, vaguely feeling that she seed sowhat different from the other crew mbers.
But there was no ti to think about this now, as Qin Zong had already flashed over with a tense expression, "Captain, quickly control the battleship!"
Lu Ye took one last glance at the girl's back before flying onward, arriving at the cabin he had just left.
With a swift glance, he imdiately spotted, in the center of the cabin, a complex big array with a sphere.
This was the Central Hub for controlling the Long Dragon battleship.
Lu Ye quickly stepped forward, raised his hand onto the sphere, and spirit force fused with ntal Consciousness flowed in, all pouring into the sphere. In the next instant, a wonderful feeling erged throughout his entire being.
He felt like he had beco one with the Long Dragon battleship; he was the Long Dragon battleship, and the Long Dragon battleship was him.
He could clearly feel every change in detail within the battleship and grasp its strengths and weaknesses.
But Lu Ye ultimately had no experience controlling battleships, and while experiencing this feeling, he was suddenly haunted by a terrifying sensation.
He lifted his gaze, his eyes deep, seemingly able to pierce through the Void, and clearly saw three beams of light, rapidly approaching the Long Dragon battleship in a triangular formation.
It was precisely the attack from the three battleships he had seen on the deck earlier.
Lu Ye instinctively wanted to dodge, but his mind had already rged with the Long Dragon battleship, making it not so easy to dodge. He needed to control the battleship to make evasive maneuvers.
This was completely different from controlling his body.
The battleship suddenly trembled, as the first attack had hit, though it failed to dodge, fortunately, the crew of the Long Dragon battleship were well-trained and had already activated the protective array.
The attack struck the array's light screen, imdiately causing ripples to erge.
Next ca the second, and the third attack...
Lu Ye exerted all his strength to control the battleship, but one step late, step after step, that series of incessant attacks arrived, even though they couldn't break the protective array's screen, they pushed the Long Dragon battleship to spin uncontrollably under imnse force.
Not only was the battleship being flipped, so was Lu Ye's ntal Consciousness.
In Lu Ye's perception, he felt like a target flying in mid-air at this mont, completely unable to control his position, let alone avoid the subsequent attacks.
Beside him, Qin Zong was jumping anxiously, while urging his spirit force to steady his mind, he shouted, "Captain, quickly evade!"
Damn it, don't I already know to evade? I need to have that ability first!
Lu Ye nearly cursed out loud.
As soone who had never controlled this type of battleship, starting out was really full of too many discordant elents.
In just the short span of ten breaths, the protective screen of the Long Dragon battleship shattered with a bang. As the bright light once again ford a geotric pattern and ca at them, Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh.
The stellar space... truly dangerous, never thought that this would be the end of my journey.
The geotric-patterned attacks struck, the protective screen broke, all bombarding the hull, the violent force swept through, and the crew on the deck cried out in agony and died one by one.
Lu Ye did not struggle, he calmly accepted all this, because at this mont, any struggle was already aningless.
At the final monts of life, Hua Ci's face erged in his mind.
Could it be... that woman would really bear his child?
In this calm, Lu Ye suddenly sensed sothing strange, turned his head, only to see Qin Zong and the others all looking at him, the previous fear and despair vanished without a trace, instead showing an odd smile.
Under the white light, all life inside the Long Dragon battleship was wiped out! Even the entire battleship had beco battered.
Lu Ye suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for breath, the feeling of death was incredibly unpleasant, but soon he bore a puzzled look.
Because just a mont ago, he clearly sensed he had died, yet why did he live again?
Activating his ntal Consciousness, he examined his body, finding no signs of injury, no deficiencies.
What is going on?
Looking around, he saw Qin Zong and others, and the place he was at now was clearly the battleship's control Central Hub.
Seeing Lu Ye look over, Xiao Jianming said, "Captain, any orders?"
Lu Ye fixed his gaze on him for a while, slowly shaking his head.
Strange! Too strange!
The event of apparent death and revival was sothing Lu Ye could not believe, even if soone did possess this ability, it couldn't be widespread, yet his ntal Consciousness sensed that the crew who had died monts ago were all alive and well.
It seed that everything he just experienced was re illusion!
But would such an event really be an illusion? If it was, it certainly was too realistic, as Lu Ye distinctly felt the tearing pain when he died.
"Captain, are you unwell?" Xu Qingwei asked with concern.
Lu Ye looked at her, his expression sowhat befuddled. Right before his apparent death, these few people all turned to him with an eerie smile, especially Xu Qingwei, who had clearly been facing away, yet her head turned completely around.
Now appearing as if nothing had happened...
"No!" Lu Ye responded sowhat stiffly.
Qin Zong laughed heartily: "Our captain's first voyage must be nerve-wracking. Initially, we were the sa. Captain, I tell you, there's no need to be nervous, getting robbed once is bilking, twice is routine, thrice becos adept, the more you go through, the more accustod you beco."
"What's going on with you guys?" Lu Ye asked.
Everyone was baffled.
Lu Ye tried a different question: "What was the situation just now?"
Their expressions beca even more bewildered, Qin Zong scratching his head: "Captain, what are you talking about, what happened just now?"
Lu Ye closely observed their expressions, yet found no flaws, making him slightly doubt himself.
But just then, a stern shout suddenly ca from the direction of the deck's lookout: "Enemy attack!"
The crew, who were dispersed resting within the battleship, imdiately sprang into action, rushing to the deck, each manning their posts.
Lu Ye's expression froze.
He hurriedly placed his hand on the sphere before him, the feeling he experienced rushed to his heart once more, his being seemingly rged with the Long Dragon battleship.
His gaze pierced through the Void once again, seeing in the depths of stellar space three battleships forming a geotric pattern, speeding towards them, the tops of the three battleships already glowing with bright light.
This scene... was all too familiar, like a rewind of ti!
Lu Ye's eye twitched involuntarily.
Qin Zong shouted from beside him: "Captain, quickly control the battleship!"
