Dragon King Hall's Legend

Chapter 2046: Chapter 2046: Relocate the Ghost Ship! Hold Tight! Everything Is Collapsing!

"Transfer to another ghost ship?"

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, Wang Qingxue, her face full of panic, was first startled, but then calmed down and thought it over rationally.

It seemed this was indeed their only option.

"Alright!"

At this critical moment, Wang Qingxue was neither timid nor indecisive, and she agreed immediately.

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Watching so many passengers die before his eyes, now only he and Wang Qingxue remained from the original hundred or so passengers.

If possible, he still hoped to save Wang Qingxue.

But if Wang Qingxue kept hesitating, worrying about this and that, he wouldn’t go all out to save her for his own survival.

This situation was already not bad.

At least Wang Qingxue dared to take a chance with him, rather than dragging him down.

Therefore, if he had the chance, he would try his best to save her!

"Crack, crack..."

As they spoke briefly, the ship under them continued to make louder cracking sounds, making one’s heart tremble with fear.

"We can’t delay any longer!"

Hearing the noise, Mu Jinyu’s eyes showed a hint of determination.

He then straightaway opened the window and cautiously reached out to touch the fog chains linking the various Underworld Ghost Ships, to see if they could be touched.

If they could, they could walk directly on the fog chains to another Underworld Ghost Ship.

But if not, he would have to use the Three Life Stone to step in the sea first, so they could tread on the Three Life Stone to board the other Underworld Ghost Ship.

Unless absolutely necessary, Mu Jinyu didn’t want to use the Three Life Stone or Naihe Bridge to pass through, as who knows what changes might occur then.

"Crack, crack!"

Mu Jinyu touched it, causing the fog chains to tremble slightly and produce a crisp sound.

They could be touched!

The fog chains had indeed solidified.

"I’ll go first, follow closely."

Mu Jin turned back and told Wang Qingxue, then immediately leaned out and stepped onto the fog chains, swaying his body, and quickly moving toward the nearby ship!

Although the fog chains swayed continuously, making it hard to walk steadily, Mu Jinyu’s deep cultivation kept him from losing balance and falling into the sea below.

Soon, Mu Jinyu reached the nearby ship’s deck and stood firmly.

"Hurry up, come over!"

Standing on the deck, Mu Jinyu turned back and shouted to Wang Qingxue.

In general, in such a dangerous and urgent situation, it’s customary for men to let women and children go first.

However, this wasn’t Earth; it was the Canglan Realm, where strength ruled, and such moral customs didn’t apply.

Everyone lived to become stronger for themselves. Who would give up a precious opportunity to survive just because someone else was a woman or a child?

So, this set of rules didn’t work here.

But Mu Jinyu was still an Earthling, with such morals ingrained in his bones.

If possible, he would let women and children go first and stay behind himself.

But this situation was different; after all, who knew if there was danger on the next ghost ship?

And would the fog chains they tread break suddenly while crossing?

These were uncertainties, and if he let Wang Qingxue go first, it would merely be using her as a pathfinder!

Thus, Mu Jinyu chose to go first, letting Wang Qingxue follow.

Just to see if this side was safe.

Of course, even if it wasn’t, with their ship nearly collapsing, Wang Qingxue would have to brace herself and come over.

However, as she crossed, he could fend off any danger first, and then they could continue to escape!

"Okay!"

Wang Qingxue responded without hesitation or reluctance.

Mu Jinyu had already paved the way for her; if she still dared not come, she’d truly be useless.

Wang Qingxue leaned out of the window, stepping onto the fog chains, and swiftly walked toward the ship Mu Jinyu was now on!

During the process, the fog chains kept swaying, making her a bit scared.

After all, if anything went wrong, she’d fall into the sea below, facing certain death!

"Boom!!"

However, sometimes, the more you fear something and hope it won’t happen, the quicker it arrives.

Wang Qingxue dearly wished to reach the ghost ship where Mu Jinyu was quickly and hoped their ship behind wouldn’t collapse so soon.

But ultimately, as she was halfway across.

The ship they had been on suddenly collapsed, broke apart, and sank into the sea.

Causing the fog chains linking Mu Jinyu’s current ship to break and fall!

"Ah!!"

Wang Qingxue didn’t expect such a change, screamed in fright, and began to fall straight down, her face turning pale.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Wang Qingxue grabbed the swaying fog chains, preventing her from plummeting directly into the sea.

"Quickly, come up!"

Mu Jinyu hadn’t foreseen such a change either. After his face changed slightly, he immediately grabbed the fog chains to prevent it from breaking suddenly too; otherwise, Wang Qingxue would be beyond saving.

Of course, Mu Jinyu also worried the fog chains might disappear suddenly, so while gripping them firmly, he hastily threw down the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth for Wang Qingxue to hold, stabilizing herself.

That way, even if the fog chains disappeared, Wang Qingxue, holding on to the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth, wouldn’t fall.

Wang Qingxue understood this logic too, forcing herself to calm down, then reaching out to grab the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth Mu Jinyu had thrown down.

Though she felt the cloth was dirty, she couldn’t care less now, clutching it like a lifeline, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu intended to use the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth to pull Wang Qingxue up.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

At this moment, a sudden series of wooden board cracking sounds was heard.

"What?!"

"This..."

Upon hearing the sound, both Mu Jinyu and Wang Qingxue’s faces changed together.

If they hadn’t misheard, the sound signified the Underworld Ghost Ship they were on was also starting to collapse.

But how could this be?

It shouldn’t be like this!

In their earlier speculation, their ship collapsed due to poor quality during the assimilation by the Underworld Ghost Ship, leading to its breakdown.

Yet these Underworld Ghost Ships had been drifting in the Underworld Ghost Sea for who knows how long, right?

How could they suddenly start to collapse too?

They couldn’t quite figure it out.

A few guesses flashed through their minds.

Firstly, perhaps the Underworld Ghost Ship was no longer suited for human travel, so their ship, having been recently assimilated, could hold for three days.

While this Underworld Ghost Ship might be more decayed, encountering their presence triggered its collapse!

Secondly, perhaps there was some monster among these Underworld Ghost Ships, lurking and watching them. Seeing that they hadn’t explored any other Underworld Ghost Ships in three days, it destroyed their ship, herding them onto the current one, and would keep pushing them to another specific ship?
