Free Web NovelChapter 2031: Chapter 2031: Attacked by Sea Beasts! Someone Died! Can I Stay With You?
Therefore, for those without invincible strength, it’s almost unheard of for anyone to recklessly extend their divine sense outside the ship in the Forbidden Dead Sea.
Although Mu Jinyu was quite confident in himself, he also knew that his cultivation in the Life and Death Realm was insignificant in the Forbidden Dead Sea, so he didn’t want to act recklessly.
There was no need to take such a risk.
Soon, Mu Jinyu walked out of his VIP room and onto the deck.
At this moment, dozens of people were standing on the deck, all with somewhat heavy expressions, gazing into the surrounding sea.
Mu Jinyu scanned the area, seeing no signs of sea beasts attacking them. The surrounding sea was still calm and silent!
"What’s going on?"
Mu Jinyu, unable to understand the situation and feeling like nothing was happening, asked the others aloud.
In their impression, because Mu Jinyu had paid for three additional tickets, the ship set out early, so they had a good impression of him.
Hearing Mu Jinyu’s inquiry, several people immediately replied, "Just now, a whale-like sea beast was hunting and happened to collide with our ship. It’s fine now; that sea beast has moved away!"
"I see!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu nodded slightly, his expressionless face subtly relaxing.
He had just thought they were under attack by sea beasts and was contemplating how to deal with them.
After all, the Forbidden Dead Sea is very dangerous, and the sea beasts within it exceed the capabilities of the Cosmic Light Realm.
It’s said that there are even Emperor Level beings present!
However, such Sea Emperors rarely come out to act.
Even if they do, they don’t easily attack, much like adults rarely go out of their way to crush ants.
In the eyes of these beings, they are all just ants crawling around, not worth specifically targeting!
But sea beasts far exceeding the Cosmic Light Realm might not let them off so easily.
So if by chance they were targeted, it would be very dangerous, and it would be hard for anyone on the whole ship to survive.
But since it was just a sea beast accidentally bumping into their ship, causing such a commotion, they weren’t being targeted, so it wasn’t a big deal.
After understanding the situation, Mu Jinyu was about to leave the deck and return to his room to continue repairing the God Slaying Cannon.
But noticing they didn’t seem too relaxed, he couldn’t help but curiously ask again, "Since the sea beast has left, what are you all worried about?"
Someone sighed lightly and replied, "Just now, someone was on the deck, resting, and ended up being noticed by the sea beast when it accidentally hit the ship, and got eaten directly!"
"Someone was eaten?!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu’s expression changed slightly.
He hadn’t expected such a thing to happen.
This situation was far from simple.
Their ship was designed to conceal their Qi, scent, and presence, so normally, even if sea beasts noticed the ship passing above from the seabed,
they wouldn’t attack them.
Moreover, their ship was protected by a shield that could withstand a full-force attack from an Initial Phase of Cosmic Light Realm cultivator, and even a pinnacle Creation Realm cultivator couldn’t easily break it.
Yet that sea beast managed to swallow those few people whole, indicating its strength was at least at the level of the Cosmic Light Realm!
However, the only good news was that the sea beast was hunting and only casually ate those people for a snack, and hadn’t targeted their ship.
Otherwise, they would be in great danger now.
It’s like a tiger out hunting spots an antelope, pursuing and attacking it, while a rabbit happened to jump out of its burrow and collide with the tiger. The tiger would naturally swallow it in one go and continue its hunt for the antelope.
And it wouldn’t change its target to lurk around the rabbit’s burrow.
So, their ship was fortunate to escape disaster in that situation.
But it was also due to their ship’s ability to conceal Qi, otherwise, from the situation where the sea beast noticed someone on deck and instantly ate them, if their ship didn’t have this function,
the sea beast might have detected human presence on the whole ship, and wouldn’t just eat a few, but swallow the entire ship!
Despite narrowly escaping a calamity, everyone felt heavy-hearted.
After all, they had just set sail three days ago, and were still far from the Central Domain, yet someone among them had already died.
This shattered their fantasy of embracing a new and beautiful life, casting a bloody shadow over their mood.
"Everyone, hurry back, don’t stay on the deck!"
Mu Jinyu, looking equally grave and in a bad mood, thought of something and hurriedly shouted to everyone, "Even though the sea beast just left, who knows if it might turn back? Staying on the deck for it to see is courting death, isn’t it?"
"Hurry back to your rooms!"
Hearing Mu Jinyu’s shout, the initially gloomy crowd was suddenly startled and realized the critical point.
Indeed, although they had just escaped one danger, they weren’t completely out of the woods, and shouldn’t remain on the deck, which was very dangerous.
Thus, they promptly agreed and hurriedly returned to their rooms!
Mu Jinyu did the same, returning to his VIP room.
However, he was in no mood to continue inscribing the protective shield to repair the God Slaying Cannon.
After all, who knew if that sea beast would turn back at any moment; if he got too focused, wouldn’t that be even more dangerous?
It’s better to keep part of his attention on the surroundings!
"Knock, knock, knock!!"
At this moment, his room door was knocked on.
"Hmm?!"
Hearing the knocking, Mu Jinyu raised an eyebrow and then released his divine sense.
He dared not extend his divine sense overseas, but within the ship it wasn’t a problem.
However, each room generally had restrictions to block divine sense from peeking, protecting individual privacy.
So generally speaking, even within the ship, people wouldn’t extend their divine sense much.
However, in the corridor outside his room, there were no restrictions against divine sense, so Mu Jinyu could see who came to him!
He could also choose whether or not to see them.
If he didn’t want to meet, he could adjust the restrictions in his room, making it so he couldn’t hear the knocking anymore.
In fact, if he were harsh, anyone who dared continue knocking could be seriously injured by the retaliating restrictions.
So generally, people who came to visit would only dare to knock a few times, not daring to continuously knock!
"Hmm? It’s her?"
Mu Jinyu, upon extending his divine sense, found that the person knocking at his door was the cold woman who had traveled with him using the Red Garment Tower’s teleportation array.
"What does she want with me?"
Mu Jinyu wondered curiously in his heart.
He then gestured to deactivate the restrictions in his room, allowing the door to open on its own.
"Creak!"
The door opened, and the cold woman stood outside, her expression somewhat complex as she looked at Mu Jinyu, then bit her lip and softly asked:
"Can I... stay in the VIP room with you?"
Saying this, she suddenly thought of something and added with some grievance, "If you want to share the room expenses... I can pay half too!"
