Enraged, Yang Ming boldly pushed the ferryman.
As a result of this push, the ferryman collapsed on the boat like a skeleton.
As the ferryman collapsed, the boat stopped rowing.
Yang Ming was shocked. He didn't expect that the ferryman, who looked so terrifying, would actually scatter at the slightest touch. Wasn't this just a scam?
He quickly picked up the oars, intending to row the boat himself and reach the shore before it sank to the bottom.
However, no matter how hard he tried to row, the boat didn't budge.
Xiao Chuxia came up with an idea, "Brother Xiu, can't you fly? Why don't you take us away?"
Fang Xiu shook his head: "It's no use. Haven't you all realized it yet? The moment we boarded the ship, everyone was trapped on it and couldn't leave."
"Imprisonment?" Xiao Chuxia, not believing in such things, reached out towards the edge of the boat, but as soon as her hand extended a little, she felt a terrifying suppressive force, and her hand was bounced back.
Her pretty face turned deathly pale: "What are we going to do? Are we just going to watch the ship sink? Hugh, you have to think of something!"
"No need to panic, just wait to die."
"Brother Xiu, stop joking around at a time like this." Xiao Chuxia was so anxious she was almost crying.
Seeing this, Yang Ming plopped down on the deck.
"Since Brother Hugh says he's just waiting to die, then there's no point in struggling. We might as well rest for a bit and have a smoke first."
As he spoke, he started taking out a cigarette.
Seeing this, the other team leaders also quieted down and sat down silently.
"You...you guys!" Xiao Chuxia was anxious. Why did they all give up?
"Hey, Big Blackie, Hugh was just kidding, can't you tell?" Yang Ming said nonchalantly.
"Have you forgotten that Hugh had already seen the future before we came? This trip to the burial ground will definitely be thrilling but safe. Now that Hugh tells us to wait, we should just wait."
He must have already seen the future; perhaps the hope for the future lies at the bottom of the lake? What's that called again...?
"Put yourself in a do-or-die situation and you will survive!" Li Xiaoru added.
Seeing everyone so calm, Xiao Chuxia was almost in tears. What was all this about? Only she knew that Fang Xiu's prediction of the future was false.
At this point, the lake water inside the boat was rising higher and higher, already submerging everyone's calves.
As the lake water encroached, everyone found it increasingly difficult to mobilize their spirituality. Clearly, if they all fell into the water, their spirituality would be completely suppressed, turning them into ordinary people.
However, faced with such a desperate situation, only Xiao Chuxia panicked, while the others remained calm and blindly trusted the other party.
In their view, Fang Xiu must have a way; he couldn't just stand there and wait to die.
Since Fang Xiu is doing nothing now, it means that doing nothing is the solution.
However, what they never expected was that Fang Xiu was actually waiting to die.
This time, he didn't intend to commit suicide, but rather to die at the hands of the Corpse Lake, so that he could use Pain Manifestation to summon a projection of the Corpse Lake.
Corpse Lake possesses the ability to suppress spirituality, easily suppressing even peak fourth-tier beings. Once successfully manifested, its strength should not be underestimated, and it can even inflict damage on fifth-tier beings.
Currently, Fang Xiu does have ways to harm a fifth-tier opponent; either his wife or the Ghost God.
My wife is useful, but she causes too little harm.
Although the Ghost God is powerful, it consumes too much energy. It always feels like a small horse pulling a heavy cart, and even after a lot of effort, it may not be able to exert much of its strength.
Therefore, the methods for fighting against fifth-tier opponents are too limited, and Corpse Lake is a good alternative.
Snap!
Yang Ming, whose body was half submerged in water, lit another cigarette.
That's right, he was like a giant chimney, his mouth was full of cigarettes, and he was billowing smoke.
"Yang Ming, are you out of your mind? Even if a Spirit Master has a strong physique, you don't smoke like this, do you? Are you going to smoke your whole life's worth of cigarettes?" Li Xiaoru cursed.
"You... Cave God Demon, the cigarettes will get wet if they fall into the water, we can't waste them." Yang Ming, who was holding a row of cigarettes, spoke unclearly, and even dropped two cigarettes out of his mouth as he opened it, making him look regretful.
As the lake water rose higher and higher, the boat sank at an accelerated rate, and within seconds it sank completely.
Everyone then fell into the water.
Yang Ming immediately screamed, "Hey, wait! I haven't finished smoking yet, and this is the only pack I brought... glug glug..."
Before he could finish speaking, he sank into the lake.
It wasn't that he couldn't swim, but rather that the moment everyone entered the lake, perhaps because they lost the protection of the boat, countless corpses submerged in the lake came back to life.
Like countless water monsters, they stretched out their pale, waterlogged arms and frantically pulled at everyone's bodies.
At this point, everyone was pulled to the bottom of the lake.
In the lake, everyone struggled desperately. Although they trusted Fang Xiu, the drowning and the tearing of the corpse made it difficult for them to remain calm, and they instinctively resisted.
How could people whose spirituality was suppressed possibly resist?
Not only were they unable to resist, but their bodies were also torn apart.
The scene was extremely terrifying for a moment.
Countless pale arms covered the bodies of the people, hair, face, arms, thighs, flesh and blood. Everywhere you could touch, there were arms tearing at you.
Intense pain spread throughout his body. Li Xiaoru's scalp was ripped off, his limbs were torn off, and then his intestines and internal organs were removed.
Luo Qingxin and Xiao Chuxia suffered the same fate; their scalps were ripped off, their limbs severed, and their private parts torn into pieces. They died a gruesome death, their blood instantly staining the lake red.
Only Fang Xiu and Yang Ming are still alive.
Because Fang Xiu had devoured many strange creatures, his physique was already superhuman and extremely powerful. Even though he had lost his spirituality, his physical body remained. Relying on his powerful physique, he did not sit idly by and wait for death, but instead continued to sink deeper by using the power of the corpses.
He felt that these corpses were not the source; the real source should be at the bottom of the lake. Since he had decided to die, he had to die at the hands of the source, otherwise the lake of corpses that would manifest later would not be complete.
Yang Ming, as expected of a chosen one, always managed to turn danger into safety.
As he was being torn apart by countless pale, eerie hands, his Corpse-Suppressing Bead and Corpse Water Jar simultaneously emitted a strange light.
The Corpse-Suppressing Bead directly suppressed the corpses in the water, and all the corpses that approached it dissipated, turning into strange forces that merged into the Corpse-Suppressing Bead.
The lake water was being continuously swallowed up by the jars containing corpse water.
