Chapter 136: Suspicious Light in the Black Sea



The demigod Setsuna had no interest in ordinary magic cores, probably because there was too little light energy in them.

Li Xiu and Chu Jun went out of the door together and cleared the mechanical skeletons again. The last A-level mechanical skeleton that appeared was actually the Shining Demon Spirit.

Fortunately, with the help of the gentleman's hat, the Jedi Knight was able to barely injure it. With the assistance of a group of demons, the Jedi Knight completed the final blow and killed the shining mechanical skeleton.

Unfortunately, the Shining Mechanical Skeleton left nothing behind but its magic core.

Li Xiu handed the magic core to the demigod Shanshan, who took it without hesitation and swallowed it.

"Why did you feed the demigod Setsuna magic cores randomly? If the attributes are not right, the chance of awakening innate skills will be very low. It's useless to have a high level. A magic spirit must have innate skills to be powerful. Don't waste such a good glorious magic spirit..." Chu Jun felt distressed when he saw this, but before he could finish his words, he saw a blue light emitting from the demigod Setsuna's body, like a volcano erupting, and blue flames shot up into the sky.

"Finally advanced!" Li Xiu was slightly happy.

After the blue flames dissipated, the figure of the demigod Shanna was revealed. The blue light and shadow-like body did not change much. It seemed to be a little taller, but the difference was not very big.

However, there were some changes in the gun and sword in his hands. Some strange patterns appeared on them, and the light of those patterns was obviously brighter than other parts, and the colors were also more vivid.

Demigod Setsuna: The Glorious Demonic Spirit.

Level: D (evolvable).

Talented skills: God-killing.

For some reason, Li Xiu could not see the original embryo quality of the demon spirit. He also asked Chu Jun, but Chu Jun also could not see the original embryo quality of the demon spirit.

"You fed it randomly like this, but it actually awakened its innate skills. This is really unfair. Is the Glorious Demon Spirit so strong?" Chu Jun felt very sorry for the demigod Shanshan.

"I have awakened a talent skill, but I don't know what it's used for." Li Xiu said as he walked towards the dam-like building.

Chu Jun sensed again, but did not sense the last fanatic inside. Two people pushed the door open and indeed there was nothing inside. The last fanatic was not seen, only the fourteen doors.

Chu Jun tried to push the door open, but failed. It seemed that he really couldn't get in.

"We have already cleared the level here, let's go and have a look at the other city gates." Li Xiu said after thinking for a while.

"Where are we going? The desert, the Black Sea, or the city gate with crying ghosts?" asked Chu Jun.

"Let's go to the Black Sea again." Li Xiu said after thinking for a while.

The atmosphere outside the Ghost Crying City Gate was too eerie, and Chu Jun couldn't quite understand what it was like. It was too dangerous to go out casually.

There is nothing over there in the desert, and it's too far from the Black Death City and I'm afraid of getting lost. Only the seaside is a bit better.

There would be no problem as long as he came back before the terrifying sea demon appeared. With the Masked Emperor on him, Li Xiu had some chance of escaping.

The two men opened the city gate and came to the beach again.

The strange thing is that the half-human, half-mechanical demon was nowhere to be seen, and the phantom clam that had been disguised as a reef was left with only the cracked reef.

The beach and the sea were eerily quiet, without even the slightest sound, and there was dead silence everywhere.

"Will the evil spirits here not appear again after being killed?" Chu Jun asked doubtfully.

"It's normal that it doesn't appear. Do you really think this is a game where the monsters you kill can be refreshed?" Li Xiu said.

"But the Black Death Demons and those mechanical skeletons in the Black Death City appear every time we come here." Chu Jun said unconvinced.

"Maybe those black death demons and mechanical skeletons have always existed, but they just didn't appear at once." Li Xiu looked at the black sea, which was covered with darkness everywhere.

Suddenly, Li Xiu's eyes focused, and he vaguely saw a little starlight above the black sea.

No, it shouldn't be starlight, it's just because the distance is too far, so it looks like starlight hanging in the sky.

In fact, there is not even a single star in the sky above the Black Sea.

The light seemed to be moving along the sea surface, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right.

"What is that light over there? Can you see it?" Li Xiu pointed at the light on the sea and asked Chu Jun.

Chu Jun stared at it for a long time, shook his head and said, "It's too far away. I can only see a little light moving. I don't know what it is. It should be the light emitted by some demon spirit, right?"

Neither of them could see clearly and they stared there with wide eyes.

After a while, the light seemed to be closer and brighter. The two people vaguely saw that it did not seem to be the light emitted by the evil spirit.

"Why does it look like a lamp to me?" Chu Jun said, rubbing his eyes.

"It should be the light." Li Xiu said, staring at the light on the sea.

"Could it be another copper lamp like the Lamp of Eternal Life? Didn't the Lamp of Eternal Life say that it cannot leave the Black Death City? How did it end up on the sea?" Chu Jun muttered.

Li Xiu saw the light getting closer and closer. After watching for a while, he found that there was no sea under the light, but a hazy black shadow.

"That is... a ship..." Chu Jun also saw the hazy black shadow.

The light was not very bright and the distance was too far, so the two people could only see the dark shadow of a boat. Judging from the outline, it should be a sailboat.

"There is a ship on the sea. Can the demon spirits also sail?" Chu Jun said with a strange look on his face.

"We already have a city, so what's so strange about building a boat?" Li Xiu disagreed. He had seen the talking demon spirit, whose intelligence was no less than that of humans. Building a boat was no big deal.

But now they don’t know what kind of demons are on the ship, how many demons there are, and whether the demons on the ship can enter the Black Death City.

The two men lay on the beach, using the sand as cover, staring at the large ship on the Black Sea.

It’s strange to say, there is no wind or waves on the Black Sea, and I don’t know why we need to build a sailboat.

The sailboat seemed to be coming towards them, and as time passed, the black shadow gradually became clearer.

When the two men finally saw the true appearance of the sailboat, they couldn't help but shudder.

It was a sailing ship, indeed, and a fairly large one at that, a large wooden ship with four sails.

But now the ship is in tatters, with holes on the sails, the hull is also in tatters, and there are even many big cracks on the wooden side. How can such a ship sail on the sea?

The boat was covered with thick dust, and not a single living creature was to be seen. There was only a copper oil lamp hanging from the lookout pole.

The big ship swayed slowly on the sea, looking eerie and terrifying like a ghost ship carrying the dead in the legend.

"What's going on with that ship? Could it be the legendary ghost ship? Is the ship itself an evil spirit?" Chu Jun asked Li Xiu beside him in a low voice.

"How should I know? I don't have any inspiration skills." Li Xiu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"The distance is not enough, and I can't sense it." Chu Jun said depressedly.

"Then wait until it gets closer." Li Xiu said as he lay on the beach, staring at the strange ghost ship.

"I'm afraid that once it comes over, if something happens, we won't even have time to run away." Chu Jun said worriedly.

"That's a ship, not a spaceship. Are you still afraid that it can sail ashore? Even if it can really sail ashore, do you think it can be as fast as my Masked Emperor? As long as we find something wrong, we will immediately ride the Masked Emperor back to the city. No matter how powerful that strange ship is, we will go back as soon as the light is blown, and it can't catch us." Li Xiu comforted.

Chu Jun can't run away now, because Li Xiu still needs him to use his inspiration skills to sense what the ghost ship is.

Chu Jun thought so too. He knew the speed of the Masked Emperor and felt a lot more at ease.

The broken ship floated slowly in the sea. After waiting for a long time, the broken ship finally entered Chu Jun's sensing range.

Chu Jun immediately used his inspiration skills to sense the broken ship, while Li Xiu kept looking at the broken ship.

Calling it a broken ship is not an exaggeration at all. The hull is covered with cracks as thick as arms, and there is not a single good spot on the sail. There are probably no less than a thousand holes of various sizes.

The largest hole was probably big enough for a small car to drive through.

There was dust everywhere, and one could even see spider webs everywhere. Those spider webs were connected layer by layer, and they were so dense that they looked almost like mosquito nets.

"It's strange. That broken ship doesn't seem to be a demon. I didn't sense any demon inside it." Chu Jun said, looking at the broken ship.

"Without any demon spirits, could it be a human ship?" Li Xiu pondered.

"How is that possible? How can a human ship reach such a place? Not to mention a ship, even a nail can't be brought into the trial site." Chu Jun said.

"That's true. Feel it carefully again to see if there is any evil spirit hiding in the cabin." Li Xiu said.

Chu Jun responded and used the inspiration skill again, but still found nothing. There was indeed no evil spirit on the broken ship.

"This is strange. How could a broken ship without any demon spirit appear on this Black Sea which is like the Dead Sea, and float to our place? It's too much of a coincidence." Li Xiu said thoughtfully.

"I find it strange too, but I really don't sense any evil spirits on the ship." Chu Jun said, staring at the broken ship.

The broken boat was getting closer and closer to the beach, and the things on it became clearer and clearer, but in fact there was nothing much to see.

The broken ship was covered with thick dust, even the sides were covered with dust, making it look gray, and you couldn't even tell the color of the sails and the hull.

"There is no wind or waves on the Black Sea, how did it float over? The water in the Black Sea is highly corrosive. It is too weird that such a broken ship can sail on the Black Sea... and we have been here for at least five or six hours today, why didn't the terrifying sea demon appear last time?" Chu Jun kept muttering beside him.

When the broken ship was about to approach the beach, Li Xiu and Chu Jun quietly retreated to the city gate and stood inside the city gate looking at the broken ship.

They watched the broken ship approach the coast, but before it reached the beach, it ran aground in the sea. Then the broken ship stayed there motionless, with only the oil lamp on the lookout pole emitting a strange glow.

The two waited for more than an hour, but there was no movement from the broken boat. The two looked at each other, and finally decided to go to the beach together to take a closer look.

Li Xiu did not dare to be careless and directly summoned the Masked Emperor. After riding on him, he took Chu Jun to the beach and looked at the broken ship from close range.

If there is any sign of trouble, Li Xiu will immediately order the Masked Emperor to go full throttle and lead them back to the Black Death City.

As a result, after they arrived at the beach, the big ship still did not respond at all and was stranded there quietly, about dozens of meters away from the beach.

The two men moved left and right along the beach, trying to look at the broken ship from different directions to see if there was anything suspicious on it.

After looking around, I didn't see anything suspicious except the oil lamp.

Suddenly, Chu Jun pointed at the broken boat and shouted, "Li Xiu, look over there, is there anything there?"

"What is that?" Li Xiu looked in the direction where Chu Jun's finger pointed and found that the area he was pointing at was the side of the ship, with many cracks on it. He didn't know which crack he was referring to.

"The largest and thickest crack in the middle, do you see anything inside that crack?" Chu Jun continued.

Li Xiu looked as Chu Jun said. It was a crack that was thicker than an adult's arm and several meters long. It was dark inside the crack. From such a long distance, most people couldn't see clearly what was inside.

Li Xiu used the power of the Dark Mirror to observe carefully, looking along the crack from left to right little by little.

When he saw the approximate middle of the crack, his heart skipped a beat, because he seemed to see a pair of eyes, staring straight at him in the shadow of the crack.

Li Xiu subconsciously turned the accelerator and wanted to run with Chu Jun, while shouting: "Didn't you say there were no demons in that broken boat?"

"You also saw those eyes, right? I saw them too, but I still didn't sense the presence of any evil spirit in them." Chu Jun's words made Li Xiu stop.

He turned to look at Chu Jun who was sitting behind him: "I didn't sense the demon spirit. Could it be that the owner of those eyes is not a demon spirit?"

"In a place like this, what else could it be but a demon? Could it be a human?" Chu Jun's last sentence was just a joke.

But when Li Xiu heard what he said, he was slightly stunned.

He was frightened by those eyes just now, but when he thought about it carefully, those eyes really didn't seem like those of a demon, but more like human eyes.

Li Xiu turned the car around, stepped on the accelerator, and returned to the beach. He looked at the crack again, but he couldn't find the pair of eyes.

"Strange, why is it gone again? Am I dazzled?" Chu Jun stared at the crack for a long time and muttered to himself.

"If we are dizzy, it's impossible for both of us to be dizzy at the same time." Li Xiu said coldly while staring at the broken boat.

"But if I'm not dazzled, and my inspiration skills didn't detect the demon spirit, how could there be such a pair of eyes, and now they are gone?" Chu Jun pointed at the broken boat and said, "The boat is full of dust. If there are really living things, how come there seems to be no signs of activity..."

"Your inspiration skills have never been wrong. Since you didn't sense the existence of the demon spirit, there must be no demon spirit on the ship. If it's not a demon spirit, then the most likely possibility is..."

Before Li Xiu finished speaking, Chu Jun took over: "Humans? How could there be humans on that broken ship? You are imagining things a bit too much."

"We'll know if it's just a fantasy if we give it a try." Li Xiu suddenly shouted to the broken boat, "Listen, everyone on the boat, we have no ill intentions. Do you need help?"

Li Xiu shouted three times, but there was no response from the broken boat. Apart from Li Xiu's own voice, it was deathly quiet.

"See, I said there couldn't be humans on the ship." Chu Jun thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, the eyes we saw before might be the eyes of some kind of humanoid demon spirit, but it wasn't a living demon spirit, it was a demon spirit corpse, so I couldn't sense it. The reason why we saw it at first but couldn't see it later might be that when the broken ship stopped, the corpse was shaken and just fell down. This explanation is much more reliable than yours."

At this point, Chu Jun suddenly became excited: "A demon spirit that can sail out to sea must not be an ordinary demon spirit. If there really is a demon spirit corpse on board, then we will get a great bargain."

"Even if there really is a demon corpse on it, you have to be able to get on the boat. This place is at least fifty or sixty meters away from the big ship, or maybe even farther. Can you jump on it? If you fall into the sea, I don't have the ability to pull you ashore." Li Xiu said.

Looking at the black sea water and thinking of the consequences of his previous contact with sea water, Chu Jun couldn't help but shudder.

"It's a pity that we can't bring in things from outside, otherwise we could just put a hook and throw it onto the boat and we could get through." Chu Jun said depressedly.

While the two were discussing, they suddenly heard a creaking sound coming from the wreckage. The wreckage started moving again, as if there was a force pushing the wreckage forward.

Due to the huge pressure, the wooden boards on the boat creaked, and the stranded ship moved some distance towards the beach.

"Run!" Chu Jun saw what happened and immediately shouted.

Behind the broken ship, the black sea water was surging, and a large glowing object was floating up from under the black sea water. As it rose, the black sea water also surged.

Judging from the color of the light, it should be the terrifying demon they saw last time.

Li Xiu naturally saw it as well. Without Chu Jun's reminder, he had already activated the Masked Emperor. Golden flames gushed out, and the wheels burning with flames threw away the sand and rushed towards the city gate.

The black sea water behind was rising higher and higher, and the broken ship was pushed up by the black water like a tsunami, rushing towards the Black Death City like riding the wind and waves.

The speed of the Masked Emperor was obviously much faster than before, and the tsunami-like black water could not catch up with its speed.

After the two men rushed into the city gate, they jumped down directly, turned the winch together, and quickly lowered the city gate.

Boom!

They had just lowered the city gate completely when they heard a loud bang. The entire Black Death City seemed to shake, and the city gate was shaking uncontrollably.

Li Xiu suspected that it was the broken ship that hit the city gate, causing such a huge shock. If it was just the sea water, it wouldn't be so terrifying. They had experienced it once and knew what it was like when the sea water hit the city gate.

What's more, after the loud noise, Li Xiu also heard the sound of wood breaking.
