Free Web NovelChapter 2043: Chapter 2043: Narrow Escape from Death! Ming’s Stealthy Snack! Encounter with the Underworld Ghost Ship Fleet!
Mu Jinyu thought this possibility was quite large.
At worst, if it really doesn’t work, then he’d take out Naihe Bridge or the Three Life Stone to escape.
Then, under the confused gazes of the others, Mu Jinyu directly opened the window of their lifeboat.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
"Boom boom!!"
As the window opened, the sound of the surging, crashing waves outside instantly came in.
At the same time, a sea breeze filled with a sense of death also blew in, making people feel a bit chilly and fearful.
"Friend Mu, what are you..."
The people felt very confused, not understanding why he wanted to open the window?
Was he preparing to jump out the window to escape?
But they had just experienced falling into the sea once.
They were almost unable to bear it inside the lifeboat, jumping directly into the sea would surely spell certain death?
So, they really couldn’t understand what Mu Jinyu wanted to do?
When Mu Jinyu heard their questions, he stretched his hand out of the window and turned to look at their anxious and tense faces, smiled, and said, "Wash my hands, make a wish, hope we safely get through this ordeal."
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s somewhat outrageous words, everyone was momentarily stunned.
Their attention was all drawn to Mu Jinyu’s words, and no one was paying attention to his action of reaching his hand out the window anymore.
And then, as Mu Jinyu’s hand stretched out of the window, he silently activated the Earth Emperor’s Tome, and a muddy yellow river flowed straight from his hand, pouring into the seabed.
"Buzz!!"
"Dong!!"
With the River of Oblivion pouring into the Underworld Ghost Sea, immediately their lifeboat, which was moving frantically forward, suddenly halted on the surface of the sea.
Then, in a somewhat cumbersome manner, it slowly turned in a direction, heading towards another place!
"This!"
"We’ve been saved!"
"Unbelievable, isn’t it?"
"Friend Mu, your wish was way too magical, wasn’t it?"
The people, who were originally full of depression and despair, hearing Mu Jinyu’s earlier words, didn’t hold any real hope, they just thought he was comforting them.
But now, seeing with their own eyes that their lifeboat was moving away from the dangerous area, avoiding that terrifying, seemingly Divine Iron-cast dragon corpse, they were immediately filled with shock and disbelief.
To the extent that they developed a blind worship and fervor towards Mu Jinyu!
They were too impressed with Mu Jinyu!
Also too grateful to Mu Jinyu.
He repeatedly helped and saved them several times!
Had it not been for Mu Jinyu allowing them into the lifeboat, they would probably have died like the others.
Had it not been for Mu Jinyu’s miraculous wish, even if they had reached the lifeboat, they still wouldn’t have escaped the fate of the ship being destroyed and people perishing.
But thanks to Mu Jinyu, they avoided these life-threatening crises time and time again.
"How strange..."
While most people were in a state of fervent admiration, only Wang Qingxue felt that the lifeboat’s driving method was still a bit weird.
It seemed less like the driving system was restored, and more like there was something under the sea seemingly pushing their lifeboat away from that dragon corpse?
Recalling Mu Jinyu’s action of opening the window just now, Wang Qingxue thought this wasn’t a miracle, but that Mu Jinyu had just done something.
If it truly was a miracle, the dragon corpse should have suddenly disappeared ahead, allowing them to avoid the collision!
However, although Wang Qingxue knew this wasn’t a miracle, but something Mu Jinyu did to save them, she didn’t feel bad about it!
On the contrary, she felt more reverent towards Ye Huan.
After all, to make something under the sea push their ship away from here, it was likely Mu Jinyu was commanding a sea beast he had tamed, possibly risking the death or loss of that sea beast.
He paid a hefty price!
But he didn’t want to make others feel more guilt or remorse towards him, so he completed this objective in the guise of a miracle.
Mu Jinyu was unaware that Wang Qingxue thought so much.
He wasn’t as great as she thought; he did this purely for self-preservation and not wanting the River of Oblivion to be discovered by them.
That’s why he did this; he never expected that this action would make Wang Qingxue think he did it in such a self-sacrificing way not to make others feel more indebted and remorseful.
"Finally saved!"
Seeing their lifeboat moving further away from the dragon corpse, Mu Jinyu couldn’t help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
He was quite fortunate to possess the Earth Emperor’s Tome, otherwise, he would have undoubtedly died today.
Similarly, he was also glad that the dragon he encountered in the Underworld Ghost Sea was not a living one, but a dragon corpse.
Otherwise, he would still elicit a response from it despite being able to control the Earth Emperor’s Tome, which would lead to certain death.
"Phew, this dragon has been dead for a long time, not much energy left in it, what a shame!"
At this moment, a sudden voice from Ming echoed in Mu Jinyu’s mind, carrying a sense of satisfaction and regret.
Like a child sneaking a bite of watermelon, only to eat a small piece and still feel unsatisfied.
"You?!"
Hearing Ming’s words, Mu Jinyu was startled and said, "You sneaked out just now, went inside the dragon corpse, and corroded its origin source?"
"Yes! Otherwise, it would have been too wasteful!"
Ming spoke naturally, "This was almost a king’s dragon corpse, although it had been dead for many years, there was still a part of origin power inside it that hadn’t dissipated. Having seen it, if I didn’t take it, wouldn’t that be a waste of resources?"
"Doing this will incur heavenly retribution!"
Ming said this very naturally, not feeling that there was anything wrong with such an action.
Mu Jinyu frowned and said, "Wasn’t this dangerous for you? And... how did you slip over there? Hasn’t the Earth Emperor’s Tome always been with me? How can you sneak out?"
Mu Jinyu felt puzzled; could Ming leave him whenever he wanted?
"Not very dangerous, I’m confident, don’t worry about that!"
Ming answered, "As for how I slipped out, naturally, I went out along with the River of Oblivion!"
"Don’t worry, under normal circumstances, I can’t leave the Earth Emperor’s Tome either, but the River of Oblivion, Three Life Stone, and Other Shore Flower all are part of the Earth Emperor’s Tome, so when they are released, I can go out a bit with them!"
Hearing Ming’s answer, Mu Jinyu immediately understood how it managed to do that, and he relaxed quite a bit.
Although he knew Ming wouldn’t harm him, if Ming could sneak out anytime without telling him, and he suddenly encountered some danger, really needing its help, only to find it gone, he would struggle to wield the Earth Emperor’s Tome significantly.
Wouldn’t he be doomed by Ming then?
So, given that under ordinary circumstances, Ming can’t run around all willy-nilly, Mu Jinyu naturally felt more relieved, thinking such a crisis was unlikely to occur!
"Woo woo woo..."
Their lifeboat continued to move backward, trying to leave this mysterious Underworld Ghost Sea!
At this moment, a strange, eerie sound suddenly came from the distance.
Just having relaxed, the crowd felt a chill upon hearing this sound and cautiously crowded toward the windows, sticking their heads out to look.
Then, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread!
Outside, a fleet of gigantic sea ships suddenly sailed towards them.
But these ships had hulls that were entirely broken, masts snapped, and were suffused with an aura of death!
This was a fleet of ghost ships!
