Sheng Ning sealed off his five senses when the sea monster appeared.
She used her divine sense to explore her surroundings and found that everything was quiet.
There was no fishy-smelling seawater, and no slugs.
The corridor was silent, as if the slug was fake, and everything around was fake too.
Sirens are adept at bewitching people.
After saying goodbye to the storyteller that day, Sheng Ning told his fellow disciples about the sea monster.
Although Su Daiyuan and the others had never seen a sea monster, they still told her everything they had read about sea monsters in the books.
Sirens are adept at using their singing voices to bewitch people and induce hallucinations.
She was puzzled that they hadn't heard any singing earlier.
Using her divine sense, Sheng Ning slowly walked towards the deck. After seeing the blue light spots fluttering around her, she couldn't help but reach out and grab a few.
It felt like something was wriggling around me.
She ignored it and just kept walking forward, following her instincts.
Until she heard a questioning voice in her ear.
Why aren't you afraid of that wriggling dragon?
When the clear and light voice rang in her ears, Sheng Ning finally stopped.
She placed her hands behind her back, letting the sea breeze blow against her body, yet her figure remained as still as a pine tree.
"I don't like ugly things."
Her words startled the other person, and then a silvery laugh rang in her ears, "I've never met such an interesting girl as you."
"Are you also going to the Northern Region?"
Sheng Ning had also imagined what a siren would look like.
This is because no one in the world has ever truly seen a sea monster; those who have seen it have long since turned into skeletons.
Currently, she has shut down her five senses and can only rely on her divine sense to determine her location. She can hear the sound but cannot see what the other person looks like.
Judging from the other person's voice alone, it shouldn't be too ugly.
Sheng Ning nodded, and then heard her speak again, "Aren't you afraid of dying?"
“There are powerful demons in the Northern Region. You are only at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. You are not even qualified to be a feast for a powerful demon.”
“If I were afraid of death, I wouldn’t have boarded the ship,” Sheng Ning said without hesitation.
The siren seemed surprised by her bluntness.
A silvery laugh rang out again, “I think I’ve said something pointless.”
Sheng Ning frowned slightly, the sea breeze causing her clothes to flutter. "You've been stirring up trouble here for years, just to stop people from going to the Northern Region?"
There have always been rumors that sea monsters eat people, but no one has come forward to say that the sea monsters are trying to stop people from going to the Northern Regions.
Not only did the siren herself not expect it, but even Yu, who was standing next to her, did not expect it.
Yu also felt like she was suffocating.
At this moment, he was completely inside the slug's body, and the sticky feeling all around him made his stomach churn.
He tried to pull his junior sister out, but as soon as he reached out, the slug moved, and he slipped and fell to the ground.
With a downward smirk, Yu also stretched out his arm towards his junior sister's figure, "Junior sister, I'm not clean anymore..."
Unfortunately, Sheng Ning's attention was focused on the sea monster, and he did not notice what was happening behind him.
Seeing that no one was there to save him, Yu immediately closed his eyes in grievance and used the method his junior sister had taught him to seal off his five senses.
"You are different from everyone else."
The sound of sirens echoed once more from the sea.
Sheng Ning shook his head. "I'm just like them. They went to the Northern Region for the totem, and so did I."
However, she was looking for the totem to save the Invincible Sect, not to become some kind of savior.
With a slight pursing of her lips, she continued to probe the surface of the sea with her divine sense.
She had already scanned the entire ferry with her divine sense, but found nothing unusual.
Left with no other choice, she could only extend her divine sense and let it enter the sea.
The siren seemed to sense her movements, and then chuckled softly, saying, "You can't find me. I am you, and you are me."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning pursed her lips slightly, her eyelashes trembled, and something seemed to be about to burst forth from within her.
But what exactly is it?
As the sea breeze brushed against her cheeks, Sheng Ning recalled the giant waves she had seen in her room earlier.
Why did she only feel a breeze when she was standing on the deck, even though there were huge waves?
The blue lights all around seemed to have stopped.
In the past, these little specks of light would squeeze into her spiritual root, or at the very least, stick to her and not let go.
But now these little points of light have all stopped moving.
Sheng Ning's already furrowed brows furrowed even more.
The more she tried to understand what the siren had said, the more she felt like she was walking into a maze, unable to find her way out no matter what.
"Senior Brother, is Junior Sister alright?"
On the deck, Lu Qing'an looked at his junior sister with a nervous expression.
Lying beside him was Yu Ye, who was foaming at the mouth.
After checking and confirming that Yu Ye was unharmed and had only been knocked unconscious by the poisonous fog, Lu Jingshen got up and came to his junior sister's side.
It has been half an hour.
Half an hour ago, they passed through a fog, and the leader specifically used telepathy to tell them to seal their five senses to prevent the poisonous fog from entering their bodies and causing hallucinations.
However, this message arrived a moment too late.
Before the sound transmission reached their ears, Sheng Ning had already fallen into a coma due to the poisonous fog.
Just as they were getting nervous, they saw her stand up blankly and slowly walk towards the door.
Sheng Ning has been standing on the deck for half an hour now. Like the other cultivators who have been poisoned by the fog, the once deserted deck is now full of people.
Lin Qinghuan and the others also showed mild symptoms of poisoning, but not as severe as Yu Ye and Sheng Ning.
