Chapter 872: The Mysterious, Ancient Black Ships

A long, long time ago, blood lobsters were formidable existences in the Endless Sea . Whenever they passed, it would be like a horrible storm had wreaked havoc .

They were so brutal and cruel . With their big pincers, they wanted to crack everything .

Groups of blood lobsters used to be the worst nightmare of many oceanic species’ members in the Endless Sea . They were shrimps, but they didn’t want to submit to the gold shrimp tribe . They wanted to rebel and overthrow the Shrimp Ancestor’s regime .

Of course, their final consequence was that the Shrimp Ancestor had eradicated their entire tribe .

They deserved it .

However, Ao Bai could never imagine that so many blood lobsters were living in the pit under the Southern Region . Their gruesome appearance reminded him of terrifying events in the past .

Rumble! Rumble!

The blood-red water of the lake splashed as the blood lobster was fished out, brandishing its claws as it spun in the air .

Ao Bai and the demon scorpion man wanted to hug each other in fright .

While Bu Fang was pulling up a blood lobster, the eyes of the other blood lobsters brightened, gazing at him .

On the contrary, Bu Fang was really calm . He pulled the fishing rod with one hand, and the fishing line went taut as the blood lobster struggled in the air .

A moment later, Bu Fang’s bandaged arm rose .

As Ao Bai and the demon scorpion man gawked, dropping their jaws, Bu Fang grabbed the blood lobster .

In this big lake, their true energy was restrained, so they could only depend on their physical strength . However, using only his body’s strength, how could that human deal with that blood lobster?

However, Bu Fang had thoroughly subverted their thoughts .

Bu Fang’s bandaged hand grabbed the blood lobster, causing clanging sounds . Once the lobster was held, its two claws folded .

A silk thread emerged out of thin air . Bu Fang bit to hold one end of it, and a moment later, the thread tied the lobster .

The blood lobster, which was aggressive and ferocious, was tied tightly, falling onto the boat .

“Really tough… Should be meaty,” Bu Fang said casually as he sat down, checking the tied up blood lobster .

The blood lobster was dumbfounded, its compound eyes rolling .

When it comes to eating lobsters, how could it be satisfying with only one? Thus, Bu Fang wasn’t satisfied yet .

He prepared to fish more .

Anyway, sitting on this boat, he had nothing to do . With the leisurely speed of the boat, he didn’t know when he would reach his destination .

And so, Bu Fang happily fished more blood lobsters .

Splash! Splash! Splash!

Water foam and bubbles splashed in the blood lake as the blood lobsters were fished up, spinning and flying in the air .

Bu Fang skillfully grabbed the blood lobsters, then used a thread to tie them tightly .

One lobster, two lobsters, three lobsters…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The small boat shook a little bit .

Ao Bai, the third crown prince of the shrimp tribe, wore a baffled face .

The muscular demon scorpion man was also dumbfounded .

They watched the blood lobsters Bu Fang had tied tightly and didn’t know what to say . They felt somewhat dizzy .

Those weren’t real blood lobsters…

Ao Bai’s mouth trembled . How could the brutal blood lobsters let people slaughter them like this?

The demon scorpion man rolled his eyes . Watching Bu Fang skillfully catch those lobsters, he couldn’t help but gulp his saliva .

Because of the big pile of blood lobsters, this newly added weight had slowed down the boat’s movement, and it drifted even slower .

As the blood lobsters were tied tightly, they couldn’t escape, much less even wiggle . They could only spit out bubbles .

Ao Bai looked at Bu Fang, who seemed so excited as he still wanted to fish more blood lobsters, saying, “Human… Don’t fish anymore . Enough, it’s enough! If you fish more… the boat will sink . ”

If this boat sank, they would have to jump into the water . Then… they would have to face those brutal blood lobsters .

“Enough?” Bu Fang was a little bewildered . Looking at the blood lobsters that had packed the boat, he frowned .

Moving his hand, all the lobsters were put into his system dimensional bag in an instant . Once the boat was cleared of its burden, it immediately sped up .

Bu Fang then turned around and continued to fish for more lobsters .

Ao Bai and the demon scorpion were speechless .

They couldn’t help but pity those lobsters… The blood lobsters that used to swagger around the Endless Sea were now being fished nonchalantly .

After a while, Bu Fang stashed another boat-full of blood lobsters into his system dimensional bag .

Finally, he finished his fishing trip . The boat had almost approached the ancient black ship .

The number of blood lobsters reduced when they came near those ancient ships . It seemed something on the ship had affected those blood lobsters .

Thud .

The small boat hit the ancient ship .

Ao Bai and the demon scorpion were astonished . They lifted their heads, checking out the ship that was five or six meters high in a daze .

From a distance, they didn’t think the ancient-looking, black ship was big . But now, they found that it was really huge .

Rumble! Rumble!

All of a sudden…

A black rope ladder fell from the ship .

This rope ladder was made of some sort of spirit herb, which was really sturdy .

Bu Fang looked at the rope ladder and the big ship . Since they were surrounded by immense red water, except for boarding the big ship, they had no other choice .

Hence, Bu Fang didn’t hesitate . He stepped out and climbed on the ladder . Instantly, his body soared, aiming at the big ship .

Ao Bai and the demon scorpion man followed Bu Fang .

The three of them then climbed the rope ladder to reach the deck of the ancient-looking black ship . After a while, they reached their destination .

Bu Fang’s foot stepped, and his body leaped, falling on the deck . As soon as he landed, he shivered .

When Ao Bai and the demon scorpion man reached the deck, they were scared out of their wits .

This place was so quiet and absolutely dark . Moreover, the deck appeared ruined with thick layers of dust .

This black ship wasn’t made of wood . The black deck they were standing on was made of some strange material . It felt rigid and cold .

Ao Bai didn’t recognize this ancient ship . As for the demon scorpion man, he seemed to have some impression of the ship in his mind, but he couldn’t remember which book he had read about this ancient ship .

This was the second time Bu Fang had seen this ancient ship . He recalled the time when he was at the Netherworld’s Earth Prison, where he saw two ships tugging a bronze palace as they drifted on the Yellow Spring River .

Mysterious, strange, and inscrutable .

It had intrigued people . More importantly… those two black ships and the bronze palace now appeared on the Hidden Dragon Continent .

“This ruined ship… Who had just thrown us the rope ladder?” Ao Bai asked as he seemed to have something in his mind .

Bu Fang was dumbstruck, and the demon scorpion man looked frightened…

God knew who had dropped the rope ladder . There was nothing strange on this deck .

Bu Fang’s target was the bronze palace because he found that the food fragrance actually came from there . Since this black ship was just an accessory, it wasn’t his target .

Walking one round, Bu Fang came to the end of the ship, checking .

There were massive chains as big as a human’s body connected to the bronze palace in the distance . Compared to the past, upon a closer look, that palace was much more imposing, majestic, and incredibly immense .

It was done with wonderful, incomparable workmanship .

Suddenly…

Bu Fang’s eyes focused .

By the great gate of the palace, Bu Fang seemed to see someone . A person was kneeling at the gate of that palace .

Also, the food aroma came from that gate .

That place… seemed to be the source of all secrets .

“Is that palace… what my ancestor had pursued?!” Ao Bai leaned against the deck, looking at the mysterious bronze palace in the distance as he exclaimed .

But how to get to that palace was another problem .

“Those chains are the way to get there…” said Bu Fang . Then, he didn’t say anything else, turning around and walking into the cabin .

If they wanted to reach that palace, they must go inside the ship and walk on the chain .

Ao Bai and the demon scorpion man frowned . Eventually, they followed the other, entering the cabin .

Instantly, the three of them felt a flow of cold aura expanding through their bodies .

Ao Bai turned and saw nothing there, although he had just sensed some aura . His blonde brows furrowed . He made some sound, and two swords appeared in his hands .

The air and interior of the ship gave him the feeling of something dangerous .

Bu Fang walked ahead . He clasped his hands, walking through the ink-black ship . Compared to Nethery’s Netherworld Ship, this black ship was bright enough .

The ship’s interior was luxurious with many rooms . However, all of them looked shabby .

They walked to the stairs and descended . However, as soon as Bu Fang reached the first step, some thudding noise echoed .

A skeleton rolled down from the stairs, making Bu Fang frown .

It seemed that… somebody was in this ancient, black ship .

However, they couldn’t see anyone .

Descending to the second floor, there existed a door . Pushing the door open, he saw the big, rough chains at the bottom .

“We can cross it from here…” said Bu Fang . Then, he turned around .

However, after turning around, he shuddered .

Because Ao Bai and the demon scorpion expert were not behind him anymore .

It was only him in this ancient, black ship .

How could he not see them?

Another illusory domain?

Bu Fang exhaled, quickly calming down . Well, if they disappeared, just consider them gone then .

He lifted his head, looking at the bronze palace in the distance .

He leaped up, landing on a big chain . The moment he stepped on it, the chain shook .

The chain connecting to the bronze palace was dozens of meters long, and each ship was connected to the palace by three chains . Thus, there were six chains in total .

At the moment, Bu Fang was on one of the chains in the middle .

He steadied his body, waiting for the chain to calm down . When it didn’t shake anymore, he walked forward .

Neither fast nor slow, he moved toward the bronze palace . However, after each step, he felt his spirit sea surge further .

This sort of surging made Bu Fang frown .

The Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife in his head emitted a melodic dragon roar as a mental pressure appeared .

Bu Fang clasped his hands and continued to move further, stepping on the chain .

The chain began to shake again, but Bu Fang was as steady as a rock .

There was something mysterious about this chain . After every ten meters, Bu Fang would feel his mental energy boil harder .

This would be a headache to Bu Fang, but fortunately, his spirit sea was really vast, so the effect wasn’t big .

At this moment, Bu Fang didn’t know that Ao Bai and the demon scorpion man had landed and were now walking on the other two chains around him .

They couldn’t see each other .

Ao Bai gritted his teeth . His eyes turned red as his head endured extreme pain . The surging mental energy irritated him a lot .

The demon scorpion man, on the other hand, was shivering .

All in all, the two of them just wanted to get rid of the chain and reach the bronze palace .

Bu Fang rubbed his forehead . In the last ten meters, the surging mental energy gave him a headache .

However, it was still within his endurance . During the last ten meters, his mental energy would surge higher on every step . It felt like his mental energy was about to ignite .

Bu Fang opened his mouth, breathing out hot air .

All of a sudden…

The moment Bu Fang took the last step and was about to enter the area of the bronze palace, his chain began to shake hard .

Bu Fang was bewildered .

He turned to look at the black ship behind him, seeing a figure covered in jet-black robe . That figure suddenly landed on the chain, making it tremble hard…
