Indeed, this was the case. After clearing the fourth control room, Noah was completely exhausted. As Mimu began to recover his magic points, he encountered strong resistance in the fifth control room.
The Dark Executioners are no longer the only dark creatures here; another reinforcement has arrived: the Mogulos, also a dark creature. These are humanoid dark creatures, more like humans than the Dark Executioners, and lack the terrifying scales and claws. They are a variant of the Dark Demons, yet their strength remains immense.
Compared to the Dark Executioners' lurking and sneak attacks, they are more like warriors facing the enemy head-on, possessing strong physiques and giant-like strength. A seventh-tier Mogulos can even tear a planet apart with his bare hands, something that most demigods would find difficult to do.
Most importantly, the Mogulos were not afraid of the light like the Dark Executioners. As the darkness gradually receded under the illumination of the three-legged golden crow, they did not hide in the shadows like the Dark Executioners, but roared and charged out towards the crowd.
"Kill!" Taishan's roar echoed throughout the control room as he swept his trident across the room, blocking the opponent's attack.
He dared not summon lightning, as this would affect Ye Jun and Zhulong's control over the light, but it would be extremely difficult to resist it with his own power alone.
"Watch out!" Fuxi shouted softly, and at the same time he threw out an elemental crystal. Terrifying flames rose around Mount Tai, blocking a dark executioner that charged out.
One attacked head-on, while the other ambushed from the side. The combined efforts of the Dark Executioner and Mogulos caused considerable trouble for everyone. However, with Fuxi's intervention, the situation gradually reversed once again.
He threw out power crystals one by one, and a small array quickly took shape. This time it was just a reconnaissance array, but it allowed Taishan to clearly know the location of the Dark Executioner and avoid the possibility of being ambushed again.
Immediately following, various defensive and offensive formations descended, shrinking the space for the Dark Executioner and Mogulos to maneuver. They were even forced to fight Ye Jun and the others within the formations, enduring relentless attacks and battling the strengthened opponents. Ultimately, they were no match for them, and all the dark creatures were slain one after another.
This time, instead of rushing to the next place, everyone sat down to recover their strength and energy.
"Do you think Mogulos came to help from that door?" Taishan suddenly asked, pointing to a large door deep in the darkness.
Such portals exist in every control room; otherwise, how would the dark creatures enter the control room from the inner room?
"Could you possibly find somewhere else?" Ye Jun rolled his eyes and asked back.
"Then why don't we just storm in through this door?" Taishan asked in confusion. Wouldn't it be much easier to just storm through this door, reach the deepest part, and seize control of the entire ghost ship?
“Didn’t we just discuss this issue? We don’t know how deep it is inside, or how many dark creatures or dark gods are there. If they gather together, do you think we’ll be heading straight for the enemy, or just walking into the lion’s den?” Fuxi said helplessly. There was a door in every control room, and they had already discussed this topic in the first control room.
The immediate priority is to find a way to change the ghost ship's course, preventing it from heading into the heart of the plane. Taking control of the steering wheel will allow us to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
"No, no, no! Perhaps it would be faster to just charge straight in!" Taishan frowned and shook his head repeatedly. "Before I became the God of Thunder, I was the God of Mountains. You have all met the current Gods of Mountains. Among them, Lu Ban and Mo Di are extremely skilled craftsmen. We other Gods of Mountains also know a little about them because of this."
"If this ghost ship wants to change direction, turning the steering wheel is certainly not a problem. However, the steering wheel's function is merely to transmit commands to the central control system, so it must have a function of connecting to the central control!"
"So it doesn't really matter how many steering wheels there are. As long as we find one steering wheel and follow its connecting parts to disassemble it, we will eventually be able to disassemble the central control unit and solve the problem directly from the source. Isn't that faster and better?"
After hearing Taishan's words, everyone was stunned! Fuxi looked at the direction that was constantly being burned to ashes and reborn. Yes, no matter how magical it was, it was just a steering wheel. To control the ghost ship, it must have other connecting devices inside, right? Otherwise, would it be powered by love?
"Bang!" Thinking of this, Ye Jun stood up and walked to the side of the steering wheel. He removed the steering wheel with his bare hands and threw it aside. Before the new steering wheel could be regenerated, he had already disassembled the steering wheel's connecting device, revealing more wooden gears and other items that were connected and rotated behind it.
However, Ye Jun stopped dismantling the structure here and turned to look at Taishan, who was sitting on the ground resting. "Your idea is yours to do!"
Taishan looked at the other party helplessly, and had no choice but to get up, pick up the trident and start the hard work, dismantling the wooden planks behind the steering wheel piece by piece to reveal the huge logs behind.
He then led everyone along the direction of the rolling logs, dismantling them piece by piece. Ye Jun used the scorching heat of the sun's true fire to stop the repair of the immortal attribute, which was much easier than letting him burn the entire ghost ship.
The dark god who created the ghost ship probably never imagined that someone would choose to dismantle the entire ghost ship. If you can't beat someone, you flip the table. Can't you at least have some sportsmanship?
However, Ye Jun and the others ignored all of this. As the planks were pried up one by one, the group gradually ventured deeper into the belly of the ghost ship. The direction connected by the steering wheel was not entirely horizontal, but extended downwards.
“We should have already entered the next level, and judging from the horizontal direction, we should have already left the room where the control room is located!” Fuxi said, looking at the position above his head.
Ye Jun couldn't keep burning the wooden planks forever. As they went deeper, the space above gradually repaired itself. In other words, they had forcibly carved out a path, penetrated deep into the belly of the ghost ship, and trapped themselves inside.
Moreover, as they continued to move forward along the steering wheel, they found themselves in an empty room once again. When the partition was violently opened, countless dark creatures stared at them with scarlet eyes, as if they had seen a long-awaited feast!
