Chapter 1254: Chapter 1240: Hot Spring Lake

Extraordinary materials won’t grow abundantly in the same place.

This is common sense.

Because prior to extraordinary plants, their powers will repel each other, and the resulting extraordinary materials will also interact.

So generally, there is only one kind of extraordinary material in an area.

The higher the level of materials, the more true this is.

But right now.

In this giant skeletal ship, it’s clearly not the case. The group has traveled only a short distance, yet already found two materials capable of advancing to a Saint.

Undoubtedly a reason to be happy.

However.

Lovka can’t bring himself to smile.

Such anomalies can only prove the danger here has reached a terrifying degree.

If they’re not careful.

They might all perish here today.

"Let me tell you some bad news."

At this moment.

After momentarily escaping the danger, just as everyone’s hearts began to relax, they immediately tensed up again.

Ever since entering this giant skeletal ship.

Their spirits have never eased.

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice.

Father Geman.

Given the combat strength Father Geman exhibited earlier, no one dared to disregard his words.

"Our location has changed; after that monster died, we’re no longer in the previous place."

Baiyu said coldly.

Previously, they could directly exit from here and leave this giant skeletal ship, but after the monster died, the path seemed to close off, and their location was no longer the original one.

"No, we’re still here; the scenery around hasn’t changed at all."

"Indeed, everything around us hasn’t changed."

"Father Geman, how did you determine our location has changed?"

The group was somewhat puzzled.

Indeed.

The scenery around them showed no changes.

However.

Baiyu knew they were definitely not in the original location.

Lovka also picked up a compass, looking at the direction the needle pointed, and frowned: "Definitely not in the original location."

Now the group was beginning to panic.

However.

Just as Baiyu was assessing the situation, right in front of them, a team of explorers gradually disappeared, evaporating into thin air right under their eyes!

And the disappearance of this team was just the beginning.

Afterward.

More and more people around started vanishing.

The originally bustling expedition team suddenly dwindled down to just Lovka, Baiyu, and a few others.

Then.

Lovka and the others also completely vanished.

Baiyu hadn’t noticed anything during this time, not even his Spiritual Intuition detected anything.

This bizarre force.

Made Baiyu momentarily think he was caught in an illusion technique.

But it lacked the characteristics of an illusion.

"It’s a bit odd; is it a problem with the giant skeletal ship or an ability of the creature within this ship?"

Baiyu pondered darkly.

After lingering in place for a moment, Baiyu began moving down the passage ahead.

The space within the giant ship was absurdly large.

Now that he’s alone, whether to continue exploring or to leave, he had to proceed forward.

The exit must be somewhere within the ship.

The giant ship couldn’t be damaged, the scratch marks Baiyu made on its walls earlier had already been restored.

Even if there’s damage.

It would restore to its original state.

This proves that the exit must exist; it’s just that his current location is wrong, so he couldn’t find it.

Baiyu slowly advanced in the dark hold of the ship.

Soon.

In front of an iron door.

Baiyu stopped, looking at a mouth on the iron door.

Very peculiar.

As Baiyu approached, the iron door suddenly opened its mouth and said in a Mystical Language: "Halt, state the secret password and I will let you in!"

Baiyu replied, "Open Sesame."

"Incorrect password!"

The mouth on the iron door immediately responded.

Baiyu frowned.

This password can’t be figured out by trial and error.

So Baiyu planned to break through the door with force.

The next moment.

The Golden Blood boiled within him.

His upper body instantly turned golden, with surging strength boiling within.

Then Baiyu punched the iron door fiercely.

Bang!

A very satisfying impact sensation came through.

Baiyu continued reaching out his fists, punching the iron door repeatedly.

As the Golden Blood bloomed.

The strength within him was almost doubling.

So each punch landed on the iron door like a missile exploding behind it, after a hundred punches or more, the iron door finally couldn’t withstand it.

"I give in, I will open the door!"

"Stop punching!"

The iron door kept wailing in surrender.

Baiyu took a deep breath, let go of his Golden State, looking at the iron door: "Stop dawdling, or I’ll keep hitting you!"

Crunch.

The iron door slowly opened a crack.

Then.

Baiyu kicked it open.

Behind it, surprisingly, was a steamy hot spring area.

The area was huge, like a hot spring lake.

Stones protruded above the water surface.

Baiyu frowned.

How could this terrain possibly be inside a ship? However, the surrounding and distant skeletal ship walls indicated Baiyu was indeed inside the ship.

Yet.

The ship’s size was too enormous.

At the center of this steaming hot spring lake stood a pavilion built very archaically and robustly.

Baiyu decided to take a look inside the pavilion.

He didn’t directly enter the water.

The hot spring lake could very well have traps or other things; rashly entering an unknown domain is an incredibly foolish choice.

Therefore.

Baiyu pulled a rock from his body, channeling Blood Qi, and threw it into the water.

However, apart from a splash, there was no other reaction.

He tried another rock on the stones, also without unusual incidents.

Baiyu thought for a while.

He figured if he was to go to the pavilion, he should step on the stones.

Not long later.

Baiyu stepped onto the first stone.

Very stable.

No monsters emerged from the water.

Baiyu stepped onto the next stone.

However.

Just as he stepped onto several more stones, suddenly a woman’s head emerged from the water surface.

She had long green hair like seaweed.

She grew incredibly beautiful.

Baiyu frowned, stealthily raising his guard, and this woman began singing.

The song sounded like a hypnotic tune, Baiyu felt weak all over upon hearing it.

He steadied his spirit.

Prepared to continue forward, and then, one after another, heads emerged from the water ahead.

All were women’s heads.

They continually sang, their songs converging into a symphony.

Baiyu felt it hard to take a step.

These women, while singing, were surfacing from the water; their upper bodies were human, but their lower bodies were tails and scales of fish.

Mermaids!

Such creatures, only existing in legend, had now unexpectedly appeared here.

"Friend, since you’ve come here, why not come over and have a seat."

At this point.

A man’s voice echoed from the center of the hot spring lake.
