Chapter 809 Forbidden Ancient Ship!
Chapter 809 Forbidden Ancient Ship!
While Qin Changsheng and the others were worried about the first generation beings in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.
Just as Shi Hao was relaxing, he suddenly sensed an eerie aura appearing not far ahead.
The aura was faint and elusive, carrying a chilling and eerie feeling, as if it came from some corner of the world that did not belong to this place.
He assumed it was another strange creature causing trouble, so without hesitation, he flashed and flew directly in that direction.
"Brother Shi Hao, where are you going?"
Lin Dong shouted loudly and quickly followed.
Cao Yusheng and Qin Hao exchanged glances, and then they all followed suit.
Led by Shi Hao, the group passed through layers of chaotic mist and crossed several broken ancient bluestone paths, finally arriving at a vast, empty void.
There is no sky, no earth, only endless void and deathly darkness, as if the world has forgotten it for countless years.
In the deepest part of that void, a massive black rift stretched out like a ripped wound, emanating a suffocating, chilling aura.
Ancient runes could be faintly seen flickering at the edge of the crack, but they had been eroded over countless years and were now dilapidated.
Shi Hao and the others slowly approached the crack, and just as they saw the scene inside, everyone's pupils suddenly contracted.
They saw a blood-stained, black ancient ship, now drifting aimlessly across the cracks.
The ancient ship was entirely black, its hull covered in dark red bloodstains, as if it had survived countless fierce battles. Its sails were tattered and it drifted helplessly in the void. A ghostly green lantern hung from the mast, its light flickering and emitting an eerie glow.
"That is..."
Shi Hao's face immediately turned pale.
He turned around abruptly and shouted to Cao Yusheng and the others who were still approaching, "Don't come any closer... step back!"
His voice was filled with an unprecedented urgency and fear, which stunned everyone.
Lin Dong was about to ask why when Shi Hao interrupted him again: "Don't ask any more questions, retreat quickly... retreat as far as you can, and whatever you do, don't come any closer..."
Although Cao Yusheng didn't understand what had happened, he realized the seriousness of the situation when he saw Shi Hao's tense and worried expression.
He quickly grabbed the Moon Rabbit and retreated.
Qingyi, Fengwu, Hanli, Luofeng, Qianrenxue, and Qin Hao all retreated hundreds of feet away.
The crowd stared at the black crack and the blood-stained ancient ship from afar, their faces filled with worry.
"Brother Shi Hao, what is that? Why do you look so nervous?"
Han Li stared at the ancient ship, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart. He quickly asked Shi Hao a question.
Shi Hao did not answer Han Li's question immediately. His gaze was fixed on the ancient ship, as if afraid that it might suddenly make some unusual move.
Long after Han Li's voice fell, he slowly spoke, "I once read a passage in the book that Brother Zhu Chen gave me. It said that when crossing the void, the three most taboo things to encounter are these blood-stained black ancient ships."
Upon hearing this, Han Li was taken aback: "A black ancient ship? Is this thing very special?"
"right."
Shi Hao nodded and said, "Throughout history, encountering such a thing has always meant death. Even powerful sect leaders and giants cannot escape it. Logically speaking, such a thing... should not appear here at all."
Upon hearing Shi Hao's explanation, Lin Dong's expression instantly changed: "Then what do we do now? Just storm the ship?"
"Of course not..."
Shi Hao gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "We're too close to it right now. We can feel that terrifying pressure with every breath. It's okay to observe it from a distance, but if we get this close, it could lead to unpredictable consequences at any moment..."
After hearing Shi Hao's explanation, Han Li immediately took a few steps back, and even instinctively shielded Lin Dong and Luo Feng in front of him.
He didn't know the exact origin of the ancient ship, but he knew that anything that could terrify Shi Hao like that was definitely not simple.
Although Lin Dong was filled with doubt and uncertainty, upon seeing Shi Hao's solemn expression, he immediately understood that this matter was definitely no small thing.
He didn't press Shi Hao for answers, but instead decisively retreated, putting distance between himself and the ancient ship.
However, just as Han Li and the others were preparing to leave.
The eerie green lantern on the black ancient ship suddenly shook violently, its light flickering like an open eye looking in their direction.
A terrifying pressure emanated from the ancient ship, like an invisible mountain pressing down on everyone's hearts.
"not good!"
Shi Hao's expression changed drastically. He instinctively wanted to retreat, but he found that his body was as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and he couldn't move even a finger.
He desperately tried to unleash the three streams of immortal energy and the three thousand streams of divine fire within his body, attempting to break free from the restraints, but that power was as unfathomable as an abyss.
All his struggles were like throwing a stone into the sea, utterly futile.
"Brother Shi Hao!"
Lin Dong noticed Shi Hao's unusual behavior, his expression changed drastically, and he was about to rush forward.
"Don't come any closer!"
Shi Hao shouted, his voice filled with an unprecedented urgency: "You all need to get out of here... get as far away as possible!"
Lin Dong paused, about to say something.
But in the next moment, a powerful pulling force suddenly surged out from the ancient ship, like an invisible giant hand, forcibly dragging Shi Hao toward the black ancient ship.
Shi Hao tried to struggle, but it was all in vain.
"--Bang!!!"
A muffled thud.
Shi Hao's body was slammed hard onto the deck of the ancient ship, the shock making his ears ring and his vision go black.
He felt his internal organs churning, as if several of his ribs were broken, and excruciating pain emanated from every corner of his body.
"What kind of power is this?"
Shi Hao struggled to stand up, but found that his body was still suppressed by that invisible force and he could not move at all.
"Shi Hao!"
Lin Dong's shouts could be heard from afar.
But his voice sounded as if it were through a thick barrier, very indistinct, and could not be heard at all.
Shi Hao raised his head and glanced at the blood-stained ancient ship. He was surprised to find that the ship's deck was covered with scratches from swords and marks from magical burns, as if it had been through countless fierce battles.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his shock and fear, and slowly stood up.
Although the force that suppressed him still existed, he had gradually adapted to the pressure.
