205: Chapter 204 The Inside of the Ancient Ship

Wooo... wooo...

The sound of sobbing grew closer.

Inside Cabin 44, it seemed that the distance to that unknown monster was no longer far.

Ye Xiu glanced at the corpse and shook his head slightly.

This was an Immortal Venerable who had entered the Land of No Law in his early years. For some reason, he had actually died here and was sealed within Cabin 44.

Unfortunately, it was not one of the Three Venerables of the Southern Region he was looking for.

After shattering the corpse with a single palm strike,

He was just about to walk out of the cabin when he saw the wooden door he had previously cleaved apart actually reassembling itself at this moment.

The wooden door closed.

The aura of death surged, and the sobbing sounds became somewhat more hurried.

"A bit interesting."

Ye Xiu was in no hurry and began to search carefully inside the cabin.

But after a full search, he found nothing unusual. Aside from having a bit more deathly aura than the other rooms, there was nothing special about it.

"Could it be that the monster making the 'sobbing' sound is hidden within the deathly aura?"

He condensed his Great Power and directly grabbed a clump of deathly aura, staring at it intently in his hand. After studying it for a long time, he still found nothing.

Wooo... wooo...

In the darkness, the sobbing sounds began to grow somewhat agitated.

The deathly aura began to change.

It slowly moved to envelop Ye Xiu.

"I'd like to see what you intend to do."

Ye Xiu did not stop it, quietly watching as the deathly aura completely shrouded him.

Currently, he had no means to drag out the monster hidden in the shadows, so he could only use this method to force it to show itself.

As the deathly aura condensed,

The sobbing sound was already right before him, as if it might leap out at any moment.

Whoosh...

A gust of yin wind blew through the cabin.

From within the deathly aura surrounding Ye Xiu, a pale ghost claw suddenly emerged, reaching for his neck.

"Heh... is this all you're capable of?"

Ye Xiu sneered, reaching out to grab the ghost claw directly and giving it a violent yank.

With a crack, the ghost claw broke and slowly dissipated.

The sobbing in his ears became even louder.

Then, over a dozen ghost claws emerged from the deathly aura simultaneously, clawing viciously toward Ye Xiu.

Clang...

Amidst the hum of the blade,

The wangquan sword danced instantly, severing all the ghost claws, which turned into specks of deathly aura and merged back into the darkness.

Cabin 44 became very quiet.

The sobbing sounds disappeared, and the deathly aura that had enveloped him gradually faded under the sword light of the wangquan sword.

Boom...

The sword light struck the wooden door.

Amidst a shower of sparks, the wooden door began to crack just as before, with fissures appearing one after another.

As the number of strikes increased,

The wooden door was gradually shattered by the wangquan sword, turning into wood chips that scattered to the side.

He stepped out of Cabin 44.

The originally shattered wooden door unified once more, sealing Cabin 44 again.

"The monster in Cabin 44 is quite extraordinary. If an ordinary Immortal Venerable encountered it, they would truly be trapped to death inside."

Just like that withered corpse from before.

Trapped forever within the cabin.

If not for Ye Xiu possessing Great Power, combined with the wangquan sword which had already advanced to a Heaven-Grade Weapon,

He wouldn't have broken through the wooden door's seal.

For an average Immortal Venerable, there would be no second path here other than being trapped until death.

He shook his head slightly.

Ye Xiu withdrew his thoughts and continued walking toward the depths of the cabins.

Boom...

Cabin 45 had nothing unusual; it was kicked open with a single foot.

The next one...

46... 47...

It wasn't until he reached Cabin 54 that an abnormal situation appeared again.

Thud...

The wooden door didn't budge an inch.

Ye Xiu directly raised the wangquan sword and slashed down hard.

Amidst crackling sparks, this Door 54, like Door 44, shattered directly after multiple slashes, turning into wood blocks scattered on the ground.

Inside the cabin,

A withered skeleton huddled in the corner. On that skeleton, which possessed no aura, red hair was faintly growing.

Though it wasn't long,

This discovery still gave Ye Xiu a shock.

"Could it be that Red-Haired Monsters are all transformed from Immortal Venerables? Then what about the large Red-Haired Monsters? Transformed from Half-Step Emperors?"

Looking at the skeleton that was faintly growing red hair, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

What kind of place was this cabin exactly?

And what kind of existence was that invisible monster in the deathly aura?

Earlier in the Land of No Law, there were even large Red-Haired Monsters.

Did this mean that even a Half-Step Emperor could be corroded by the red hair and become a mindless Red-Haired Monster...

With some doubts,

Ye Xiu quickened his pace, searching the cabins one by one.

As time passed,

As long as the cabin number contained a '4', there was bound to be a skeleton inside, and these skeletons were all evolving toward becoming Red-Haired Monsters.

The one closest to becoming a Red-Haired Monster

Was in Cabin 94; it was almost completely formed, with red hair covering its entire body.

Perhaps before long, it would walk out of the cabin and enter the Land of No Law.

The discovery of this scene

Made Ye Xiu even more confused.

Aren't Red-Haired Monsters supposed to come from The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea? Why are they born under these circumstances?

With all sorts of doubts,

Ye Xiu finished searching the entire cabin area. Out of the 100 rooms, anomalies only began to appear starting from Cabin 44.

Standing at the deepest part of the cabin area,

The sobbing sounds in his ears became more frequent.

Ahead was a staircase leading into the ship's interior. The pitch-black mist had almost turned solid.

The deathly aura ran rampant.

Beneath that staircase, there seemed to be a pair of blood-red eyes staring fixedly at Ye Xiu in the hallway.

"Below might be the truth of the ship's interior."

Ye Xiu felt a deep malice, but he was not the least bit afraid. Holding the wangquan sword, he slowly walked toward the staircase.

As he drew closer to the stairs,

The pitch-black mist grew even denser, showing signs of wanting to rush out of the staircase area.

Clang...

The sword light dispersed some of the darkness.

With a hint of solemnity, Ye Xiu slowly walked down the stairs.

Thump, thump, thump...

A violent heartbeat sounded from the deepest part of the darkness.

A wave of malice rushed toward him.

Ting...

Sparks flew in all directions.

The wangquan sword struck a humanoid monster in the darkness, but the monster suffered no damage at all, continuing to roam in the dark, waiting for the next opportunity to strike.

"I've underestimated this place."

Ye Xiu stopped his pace and did not continue down the stairs.

His eyes began to flicker with light.

Great Power gathered in his eyes; he wanted to forcibly see everything in the darkness.

As the divine light flashed in his eyes,

Inside the ink-black Ancient Ship, several giant Red-Haired Monsters were evolving.

Seeing this scene,

Ye Xiu's brow immediately furrowed.

Even figures at the Half-Step Emperor level have fallen here? How could the Land of No Law have such existences?

Perhaps...

This Ancient Ship really does come from The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea.
