Free Web NovelChapter 2042: Chapter 2042: Shipwreck and Death! Encountering a Dragon Corpse! How to Evade?
Mu Jinyu didn’t take their things.
After all, it wasn’t easy for them either.
Moreover, their cultivation wasn’t high, and they probably didn’t have anything worthwhile on hand. Why would he want their things?
"Phew!!"
Under the subsequent operations, their room, which had now been changed into lifeboat mode, finally floated up from the seabed.
Letting the feeling of being shrouded by the gloomy chill completely disappear.
"We’ve survived at last!"
As the lifeboat surfaced, the hull slightly opened a few gaps, allowing everyone to breathe in the fresh air outside, each of them breathed a long sigh of relief.
Subsequently, they cautiously pulled open the curtains to observe the situation outside.
They found the waves outside still fiercely turbulent, occasionally spotting some ship debris, but no bodies.
This sight made everyone’s mood extremely heavy.
Originally, there were over a hundred passengers on the ship, but now only less than twenty of them remained.
The terrifying nature of the Forbidden Dead Sea finally sunk in for them.
It also made them understand that until the very last moment, one must never relax in the Forbidden Dead Sea, or they might suffer a calamity from a moment of negligence!
This was a painful lesson of blood and tears!
"Woo woo..."
The waves roared turbulently, the eerie wind howling, as if sobbing and complaining, making one feel a chill in this dark and sunless environment.
"What should we do next, can we leave this Underworld Ghost Sea?"
No one dared to let their guard down, they kept an eye on the sea conditions outside while inquiring Mu Jinyu.
Now, after all the cultivators in the Creation Realm had died at Mu Jinyu’s hand, Mu Jinyu was the only pillar of support among them.
They could only believe that Mu Jinyu could lead them out alive.
All their hopes lay upon Mu Jinyu.
"Sigh, I’ll try..."
Having somehow arrived at this Underworld Ghost Sea, it was also Mu Jinyu’s first time here, so how could he have the confidence to lead them out?
He could only take one step at a time!
Suddenly, an idea struck Mu Jinyu, thinking, it’s my first time here, but Ming might have been here before?
Considering Ming’s identity as the Earth Emperor’s Book’s Spirit, it should have followed the Earth Emperor traversing every corner of the Canglan Realm back then, right?
Then maybe it had been to this Underworld Ghost Sea when crossing the Forbidden Dead Sea.
"Ming, have you been here before? Do you know how we can leave?"
Mu Jinyu attempted to communicate with Ming in his mind.
"No."
Ming replied blandly, "In the era I belonged to before, there wasn’t this ghostly thing in the Forbidden Dead Sea, it must have appeared in later generations?"
"But you don’t need to worry too much, with me here, you’ll definitely be fine!"
Upon hearing Ming’s words, Mu Jinyu couldn’t help but feel a bit more confident.
Otherwise, he truly had no assurance of walking out of this forbidden place.
Following that, Mu Jinyu pondered that perhaps the previous ship lost control and couldn’t steer because the activated system malfunctioned for some unknown reason after entering this sea area?
Since this emergency lifeboat had just activated, maybe its steering system hadn’t lost control?
Perhaps they could still control this ship?
Mu Jinyu thought this might be possible, and attempted to manipulate it, but found it was still out of control.
"No way?!"
"Do we have to resign ourselves to fate then?"
"Woo woo woo... I don’t want to die here!"
"Why are we so unlucky, having survived the winds and waves only to face such a situation!"
"..."
Seeing their emergency lifeboat also out of control, drifting with the tide, everyone couldn’t help but feel a surge of despair and broke down howling!
"Oh no, there’s a sea beast in front, we’re about to crash into it!"
Amidst the group’s wails of despair, a few who were observing the sea from the window shouted anxiously.
"What?"
Hearing their shouts, the others stopped their cries, quickly stood up alertly, and walked towards the windows.
They then let out gasps of disbelief and despair.
Mu Jinyu frowned and quickly walked over to the window.
Upon seeing this, the others hurriedly made way for him to view the situation outside.
Mu Jinyu stood by the window, looking out through the gap in the curtains.
He saw an enormous dragon, at least a hundred meters long, crouching on the sea surface, waves crashing fiercely against it, washing its cold, gleaming scales with an icy sheen.
It appeared as if cast from divine iron, filled with limitless power and beauty!
There was actually a dragon blocking their path?!
Seeing this scene, even Mu Jinyu was taken aback.
Wasn’t it said that there were no True Dragons in the Canglan Realm?
Then could this be a True Dragon?
It looked so terrifying!
But soon, Mu Jinyu determined that this was not a True Dragon, just a Flood Dragon approximating a True Dragon.
However, it was still terrifying.
In its lifetime, its strength was likely nearing the Dragon King level!
Indeed, the dragon before them wasn’t a living Flood Dragon, but merely a dragon corpse.
No one knew how long it had been lost and dead in the Ghost World.
Now Mu Jinyu understood why their previous ship suddenly broke apart.
Surely, it crashed head-on into this dragon corpse!
Leading to its destruction!
After all, their ship could only be considered a Superior Grade Creation Divine Weapon.
But this dragon corpse had a level nearing King Level, a collision would surely cause trouble!
"Damn! What are we going to do?"
Mu Jinyu couldn’t believe that their current lifeboat crashing into this dragon corpse could avoid disaster, it would certainly result in the same shipwreck and loss of life.
However, he simply couldn’t control this lifeboat, so what could he do?
"Ming! Didn’t you say there was a way? What are we going to do!"
Mu Jinyu genuinely couldn’t think of any solution, maybe he should take out the Earth Emperor’s Tome, abandon this lifeboat, and sit on the Three Life Stone or Naihe Bridge, they might survive?!
But...
Doing so would first expose the secret of the Earth Emperor’s Tome.
Additionally, their ship and lifeboat were pre-coated with special substances that would make sea beasts in the Forbidden Dead Sea generally ignore them.
But if they were on the Three Life Stone or Naihe Bridge, could they prevent the sea beasts from attacking?
One must know, the sea beasts in the Forbidden Dead Sea are extremely terrifying, some are even said to reach Emperor Level.
This couldn’t be handled recklessly!
So unless absolutely necessary, Mu Jinyu didn’t want to abandon their lifeboat.
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, Ming lazily replied, "Why worry? Don’t be afraid, it’s just a minor dragon, nothing to fear, if you activate the Earth Emperor’s Tome, I can summon the River of Oblivion, easily taking you away from here!"
"Okay!"
Hearing Ming’s response, Mu Jinyu’s eyes immediately lit up, thinking it was a good idea!
The River of Oblivion is aquatic, if controlled by Ming, it could flow directly beneath their lifeboat, then carry their lifeboat away from here.
In this way, it would be like their ship’s steering system had been restored!
