Chapter 185: Sea Corpse Strange Tales (9000)

High in the sky, a black wood ship was roaring forward, breaking through the clouds and mist all the way. Its speed was extremely fast, setting off a sonic boom that spread in all directions, its aura astonishing.

Its destination was the island of the Sea Corpse Clan's territory, located directly ahead, ten days' journey away.

Through the sea chart issued by the Seven Blood Eyes war, Xu Qing knew that although it was called an island, its scope actually exceeded the Mermaid Clan's by too much, roughly about one-tenth the size of the Nanhuang Continent.

And at this moment, inside this black wood ship, Xu Qing and the Captain, after many discussions, finally finalized the plan and scheme for this trip.

"In ten more days, we can reach the Sea Corpse Clan. However, Xu Qing, although your plan is fine, it's fine to take action in a few days. And why do I feel like you seem eager to try?"

Inside the black wood ship, the Captain looked at Xu Qing and spoke suspiciously.

Regarding the plan for infiltrating the Sea Corpse Clan this time, the two discussed it for a day. The reason it was so long was that the Captain actually had no plan; his plan was to break in and then adapt to everything.

Xu Qing did not agree with this.

Thus, after thinking, he proposed an action goal: how to enter the place where a Corpse Ancestor statue was located in the fastest way.

With this goal, the plan became simple. If one wanted to achieve it, the fastest way was to be personally escorted by Sea Corpse Clan cultivators immediately upon entering the Sea Corpse Clan.

This way, not a single bit of time would be wasted.

How to do this step, Xu Qing and the Captain had also discussed: get injured!

The Third Princess was seriously injured and barely escaped back, so naturally, the first thing to do at this moment was to be sent for treatment, and the Third Princess's identity also determined that she would definitely be sent to the place where the Corpse Ancestor statue was located.

After all, in the intelligence the Captain bought, the Corpse Ancestor statue, besides being able to transform the dead into clansmen, also possessed astonishing healing effects.

Thus, there was the Captain's suspicious remark earlier.

"If the injuries are formed within a day, outsiders will know at a glance. This is not good."

Xu Qing shook his head, looked at the Captain, and then spoke.

"Come a little every day, and after ten days of accumulation, with new and old injuries together, it will be more realistic!"

The Captain's suspicion did not diminish. He looked at Xu Qing, wanting to see flaws on his face, and was also guessing in his heart if the other party was abusing his power for personal revenge.

Xu Qing looked into the Captain's eyes without any avoidance or dodging.

Looking at Xu Qing's gaze, the Captain sighed. He remembered the method he had taught back then, only to find that he couldn't judge it now.

But he was also a ruthless person. At this moment, he suddenly raised his right hand, took out a knife, and swiftly stabbed it into his own stomach, fiercely slashing it. Instantly, the blue blood he was disguised with soaked his robe.

"This little thing, what's the big deal," the Captain said nonchalantly, and even took a bite of an apple.

Xu Qing shook his head.

"Captain, doing it yourself and having someone else do it, the wounds look different. For the sake of our grand plan, you have to suffer some grievances. Let me help you."

The Captain's apple-biting motion paused, and he glared at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked seriously into the Captain's eyes. After the Captain was silent for a moment, he sighed, threw the dagger in his hand over, and opened his arms.

"Come on."

Xu Qing smiled slightly. After walking closer with the dagger, he stabbed it into the Captain's stomach, then pulled it out, and stabbed it again. Deep down, there was an indescribable feeling of comfort.

The Captain's breathing was rapid. While he was forcibly enduring it, Xu Qing pulled out the dagger and stabbed it directly into the Captain's thigh. As blood bubbled, Xu Qing raised his right hand and slapped the Captain's chest with the power contained in the Sea Transformation Sutra.

With a boom, the Captain spat out blood. While his face turned pale, the dagger in Xu Qing's hand cut swiftly. Soon, the Captain's entire body was filled with blood, looking extremely disheveled and weak.

"Alright, alright, that's enough, Xu Qing!!"

Xu Qing felt somewhat regretful. He felt his heart was very relieved by those few stabs earlier. After stopping at this moment, he looked at the Captain's left leg, weighing in his heart that he could cut here tomorrow.

Seeing Xu Qing's gaze landing on his leg, the Captain's eyelids twitched. Then he looked Xu Qing up and down and suddenly spoke.

"Deputy Department Head Xu, as a protector, the Princess you are protecting is so seriously injured, yet you are completely fine. This is unreasonable."

Xu Qing's smile froze.

"So, for the sake of completing our grand plan, you also have to suffer some grievances. It's okay, let me help you." The Captain's mouth revealed a smile that wasn't a smile. With his heart full of anticipation, he took back the dagger from Xu Qing and fiercely stabbed it into Xu Qing's thigh.

Xu Qing had the intention to avoid it, but he also had to admit that what the Captain said made sense. Thus, he took a deep breath to endure it, raised his head to look at the Captain, and let the Captain's knife rub inside his thigh.

Xu Qing fiercely gritted his teeth.

The next instant, the Captain jumped up excitedly, swiftly stabbing three times into his stomach, and also slashed a bloodstain on his neck. Near many important organs on his body, there were traces.

Seeing the flesh and blood blurred, Xu Qing suddenly took a step back, stared at the Captain, and spoke hoarsely.

"Your right leg has many injuries, but the left leg has none. This is unreasonable." As he spoke, Xu Qing waved his hand, and a dagger appeared, stabbing into the Captain's left leg.

The Captain bared his teeth and gave Xu Qing another knife. Just like that, the two of you stabbed me and I stabbed you... until after a long while, both stopped, lying on the deck panting, their injuries looking shocking.

"Xu Qing... I don't think it's necessary to be injured like this every day. As a Princess, and you as a protector, we have to flee when we are hunted, right?" the Captain said weakly.

"Yes, we can flee for seven or eight days, and then be caught up once more." Xu Qing also nodded in deep agreement, then thought for a moment and asked another question.

"Also, after we enter the Sea Corpse Clan, once discovered by the Sea Corpse Clan and our identities are exposed, what plan do you have for fleeing for our lives?"

Upon hearing this, the Captain raised his eyebrows, took out the apple he had eaten half of, took a big bite, and smiled smugly.

"Deputy Captain Xu, regarding this question, I have a way to escape. However, don't worry too much. Since we're risking our lives, it has to be exciting to be satisfying, so you should take care of yourself."

"However, considering you are my subordinate, it's not that I can't tell you, but this is my biggest secret. Hmm, it's worth one million spirit stones!"

Xu Qing looked deeply at the Captain. The cheap look revealed in the other party's expression made Xu Qing dispel the thought of selling a disorderly teleportation talisman to the other party.

He felt there was no need for this.

Seeing Xu Qing didn't ask, the Captain was surprised and scanned Xu Qing. He felt Xu Qing should have some means of escaping, but he felt that no matter what means, it wasn't as powerful as his own.

"When it's really needed, one million spirit stones will definitely be in hand."

Thinking of this, the Captain felt comfortable in his heart.

Just like that, time passed, and soon seven days went by. At this moment, there were only three days left to the island where the Sea Corpse Clan's territory was located.

And Xu Qing and the Captain, besides meditating on the ship, also communicated occasionally, mainly because the Captain was telling Xu Qing about some things about the Sea Corpse Clan so that he could cooperate with the plan more smoothly.

"The things about the Sea Corpse Clan are about done. Let me tell you about this Third Princess. This girl is also a pitiful person. Actually, she hates the Sea Corpse Clan even more than the Seven Blood Eyes, which is why I told you before that she will help us."

The Captain looked at his storage bag; inside was the Third Princess of the Sea Corpse Clan.

"This Third Princess was born in the Celestial Clan. Her father had astonishing aptitude and was hailed as a heaven-proud talent of the Celestial Clan who had hope of walking the path of the Ancient Emperor Sovereign."

"But many years ago, he betrayed the clan and left, voluntarily transforming into a Sea Corpse. After becoming the Sea Corpse Clan, his cultivation base rose all the way, and he was personally appointed by the Sea Corpse Clan Ancestor to become the Sea Corpse Clan King of this generation."

"This Sea Corpse Clan King practices a Sea Corpse Clan cultivation technique that is extremely special, called the Supreme Sentiment-Severing Art, and he has practiced it to the extreme, comprehending a state of mind named... Forgetting Sorrow!"

And clearly, everything was planned and prepared. When he betrayed the clan back then, he took his wife and four daughters away, sealed them in the Sea Corpse Clan, and they became spirits of severing the Dao.

"Simply put, every time that Sea Corpse Clan King severs a relative, his cultivation base will break through a bottleneck. So many years ago, he severed his wife, and severed his eldest daughter and second daughter, all in front of the third daughter. And the reason she hasn't died yet is because that King hasn't reached a bottleneck yet."

"This is also why I wanted to pull her in. This girl seems silly, but this is the protective color she learned from childhood. Actually, her hatred for her father has reached the extreme, much thicker than our Seven Blood Eyes."

"So she has always liked to cause trouble, but it's just that she wants to seek death for temporary relief. This time I also reminded her not to cause trouble, but it still had no effect. This girl's heart for seeking death has already penetrated into her soul."

"Actually, according to the intelligence I bought, she has already died seven or eight times over these years."

"But unfortunately, half of her soul was extracted by her father and stored by his side, so he can recreate another her at any time. So even if she dies outside, it doesn't have much impact."

The Captain's words came out one after another, and Xu Qing was also moved.

"There is a sentence in the intelligence I bought, which is what this Sea Corpse Clan King once said. Listen and savor it."

"The red dust is caused by the painting scroll, ink and wash cannot sketch the passing years, leaving a cavity of loneliness, how to forget the sorrow."

These few sentences echoed on the ship, and a feeling of indescribable sorrow spread in all directions with these twenty-odd characters.

Xu Qing was silent.

In this world under the God's remnant face, everyone has their own story, and most of them are mainly tragic.

This kind of severing relatives to prove the Dao seems tragic, but in the things Xu Qing has seen from childhood to adulthood, this is nothing. But he still took out a healing elixir and threw it to the Captain.

The Captain was stunned after receiving it and spoke with some surprise.

"What is this for? Is it because my injuries are too heavy, and you're giving it to me for healing?"

"It's for the Third Princess in your storage bag," Xu Qing said indifferently.

"Little Ah Qing, so you also have a gentle side," the Captain looked at Xu Qing with a smile that wasn't a smile, weighing the elixir in his hand.

"Why, have you taken a fancy to the Third Princess? Are you really prepared to be her male pet?"

Xu Qing looked expressionlessly at the Captain's cheap look and didn't speak.

"Little Ah Qing, you're looking at me like this, are you looking at me, or are you looking at your beloved Third Princess? Oh my, if the female disciples in the sect knew this, I guess they would all cry out."

The Captain became happier the more he spoke, put away the elixir with a beaming face, took out an orange, peeled it, and started eating.

Seeing Xu Qing gradually frowning, he wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Xu Qing.

"Princess, there are three more days until we reach the Sea Corpse Clan. Your injuries need to reappear a bit."

The Captain's words paused. Xu Qing walked up, took out a dagger, and stabbed it into the Captain's stomach. The Captain bared his teeth and took a breath, also took out a dagger, and glared at Xu Qing.

"My protector, you also need to have more injuries!"

As he spoke, he was about to stab, but was avoided by Xu Qing stepping back.

"Princess, your cultivation base is only at the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation, and your injury recovery speed is slow. I am protecting you, and in a state of being hunted all the way, your injuries are getting heavier and heavier, unable to heal themselves."

"And as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, my own recovery speed is excellent, so I don't need more injuries. That would be too fake."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, the Captain was stunned for a moment.

Taking advantage of the Captain being stunned, Xu Qing went up and stabbed again, one knife after another. Finally, the Captain held his stomach and avoided, glaring at Xu Qing, but under Xu Qing's serious expression, he sighed.

"This Princess and the protector are being hunted, but it's impossible not to have time to rest. Especially now that we are approaching the Sea Corpse Clan's territory, the pursuers have concerns, so they didn't pursue."

Xu Qing thought for a moment and responded.

"Yes, but the closer we get to the territory, the more serious the Princess's old injuries are, on the verge of death, so she is sent to the forbidden area for treatment at the first time."

The Captain had a bitter face, looked at his injuries, and then looked at Xu Qing. Under Xu Qing's seriousness, he let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.

Xu Qing felt comfortable in his heart, went over and gave five more stabs, making the Captain look extremely seriously injured and his entire person extremely weak, before ending this "pursuit."

Time passed slowly like this, and soon three days went by. This black wood ship they were on finally approached the Sea Corpse Clan's territory after flying through the air all the way.

When the Sea Corpse Clan's island continent could be seen from afar, Xu Qing's expression was extremely heavy.

He took a deep breath and checked himself. After confirming there was no problem, he was still not at ease, so he simply let the shadow emit some aura of the Sea Corpse Clan.

In this way, Xu Qing was basically no different from the Sea Corpse Clan.

Even under the Golden Crow Refining Ten Thousand Spirits, he himself could emit some innate corpse poison of the Sea Corpse Clan. After such concealment, his disguise could be called perfect.

Although the Captain didn't have these methods, he had clearly prepared for this for a long time, so Xu Qing didn't worry about the problem of him being exposed.

"Finally escaped back... home..."

The Captain to the side, at this moment holding his stomach, leaned on the railing with an extremely weak body. The wind blew, causing his blood-stained green hair to dance, revealing the delicate and beautiful face under his hair.

The pale skin, coupled with the complexity in his eyes, made the Captain at this moment almost no different from the real Third Princess, and he had even figured out the Third Princess's heart.

If it weren't for Xu Qing witnessing the other party's disguise and familiarization process all the way, otherwise, at a glance, it would also be difficult for him to see the Captain's identity.

"This journey, thank you for your trouble."

The Captain's body was tottering, his voice weak and carrying a bit of delicacy.

His hand holding the railing to the side was trembling, and the severity of the injuries in his body was suppressed by him with all his might. It seemed that if he relaxed a little, all the injuries would erupt and his aura would be extinguished.

Especially his chest, where there was a wound that was extremely dangerous, almost stabbing in right next to his heart. A slight deviation would have caused his heart to collapse, and even so, it still seemed like his heart pulse was injured.

As for Xu Qing, his originally white Daoist robe was now rendered with blue blood, and his originally pale appearance was even more ghastly pale.

His aura was also clearly unstable, as if he was forcibly enduring it, and his most serious injury was on his neck, as if his trachea had been cut open before.

Although it had recovered a little now, he couldn't speak too much, and even blood could be seen seeping out at the edge.

Facing the Captain's words, Xu Qing was expressionless, as if there were not many emotional fluctuations, and he didn't care about the injuries, bowing to the Captain.

Just at this moment, a powerful fluctuation swept over from the front, instantly covering their boat and shrouding Xu Qing and the Captain.

The ship they were on also paused in mid-air, unable to continue forward.

This powerful fluctuation was not emitted by a cultivator, but by the power of a formation!

That was the protective formation of the Sea Corpse Clan's territory.

Now in wartime, the Sea Corpse Clan's formation was opened for a long time, blocking all outsiders from stepping in, and at the same time, it could also allow all the arrangements of the Sea Corpse Clan in the territory to be blessed and completed faster.

At this moment, with the arrival of the formation fluctuation, Xu Qing knew very well that the first pass test of this Sea Corpse Clan had arrived.

However, Xu Qing and the Captain had long been prepared for this. At this moment, as the formation permeated, the Captain emitted a responding fluctuation, and Xu Qing was the same, urging the small bottle, and a fluctuation also emitted.

So soon the formation swept past and recognized their identities.

This scene made Xu Qing very admire the Captain's preparation.

At this moment, he lowered his head to look at the Sea Corpse Clan island continent below.

Looking with his eyes, this island, which could not see the end and was like a continent, had a style completely different from all the scenes he had ever seen.

This place was an offshore area, and he could see that it was covered with huge vegetation like lingzhi.

It's just that the color was black, emitting thick corpse poison, and at the same time, it also emitted astonishing pressure.

Each of these black lingzhi exceeded hundreds of zhang.

At this moment, they were both on the offshore land and in the sea, and at a glance, there were almost a hundred of them, spreading along the coastline.

And on each lingzhi, a place for mooring was built with white bones.

One could see a large number of warships like coffins waiting to take off there.

At the same time, countless tentacles grew under these lingzhi, hanging on the ground and in the sea.

On one hand, they were absorbing foreign matter, and on the other hand, those tentacles dispersed a large number of ropes, connecting one ship after another floating on the sea.

This was clearly a port, and looking around, the entire coastline of the Sea Corpse Clan seemed to be a port.

Looking further into the distance, the sky here was pitch black, shrouded by thick dark clouds.

Within it, the light of teleportation arrays shone, and cultivators were teleporting out and returning at all times.

One Sea Corpse Clan warship after another and one Sea Corpse Clan cultivator figure after another shuttled through this entire world.

While the roaring sound and the sound of breaking through the air came continuously, the sound of speech was rarely heard.

In addition, the land of the Sea Corpse Clan island was also black, covered with huge lingzhi similar to those on the coastline, but the color was somewhat different; most of the lingzhi on the shore were red.

At the same time, giant trees were also one of the most prominent styles of this island.

Those trees were all rotting, emitting thick foreign matter, and there were countless black butterflies dancing in this world.

And on the land, there were also red long rivers like blood, spreading crisscross.

The whole world was like a place of the Yellow Springs, shocking and at the same time, there was an indescribable terrifying pressure spreading in all directions.

At the same time, as Xu Qing and the Captain's black wood ship was solidified in mid-air on the sea surface, the moment the formation fluctuation swept across, one coffin after another on the coastline below soared into the sky.

Instantly, they approached the ship and stood upright all around.

A total of sixteen dilapidated coffins surrounded the black wood ship, seemingly forming a formation.

Black lightning spread between each other, instantly connecting together, surrounding the black wood ship.

Then, a coffin directly in front of Xu Qing and the Captain suddenly shook, the lid opened, and a Sea Corpse Clan member filled with black mist walked out from inside.

The appearance of this Sea Corpse Clan member was somewhat blurry in the mist, and it could only be vaguely seen that it was in the shape of a human.

After walking out, his gaze was like electricity, instantly falling on Xu Qing and the Captain.

The fluctuation of the late Foundation Establishment was particularly obvious on this Sea Corpse Clan member. Although he clearly hadn't opened the Profound Radiance State, the aura formed by ninety Dharma apertures still made Xu Qing's heart sink.

This person was clearly the cultivator responsible for this coastal port below, and because Xu Qing and the others arrived from here, he appeared.

Gazing at the newcomer, Xu Qing lowered his head, following the Sea Corpse Clan etiquette he learned on the road, to show respect.

This three-fire Sea Corpse Clan cultivator swept his gaze over Xu Qing and the Captain at this moment, then spoke in a low voice toward the Captain.

"Greetings, Third Princess."

"Where is my Father King?" The Captain held the railing, his face turning cold.

"The King is on the battlefield and has not yet returned."

"So you can see this Palace without kneeling? And what is the meaning of this blockade!"

The Captain suddenly raised his left hand, and a black bead appeared in his hand, throwing it toward the Sea Corpse Clan cultivator.

With a boom, the black bead exploded directly on the Sea Corpse Clan member.

This Sea Corpse Clan member's body shook, but he was not injured at all. He looked expressionlessly at the Captain, lowered his head, and knelt on one knee.

And this attack clearly triggered his injuries. The Captain spat out a mouthful of blood, forcibly endured it without falling, and spoke gloomily.

"Escort me to the Corpse Ancestor statue. I want to heal!"

"Before the King left, he ordered that if the Princess returns, she should be sent directly to the palace and must not go out."

Facing the Third Princess's request, this three-fire Foundation Establishment cultivator responded indifferently, raised his right hand, and waved it. Instantly, the aura of cultivators emitted from all the coffins around.

At the same time, those black lightning bolts also connected with the black wood ship, pulling it forward.

This scene did not exceed Xu Qing and the Captain's expectations. On the way here, there was a way to deal with it in their plan.

Thus, the Captain spat out a mouthful of blood. While the weakness and sense of impending death of his body were clearly revealed, he looked at the three-fire Foundation Establishment Sea Corpse Clan member and suddenly smiled sweetly.

"That's fine, it's okay for this Palace to die in the palace. This way, after I am resurrected, I will have a reason to be the first to devour you and everyone in your squad. It's too fun, let's settle it like this, hurry up."

The Third Princess disguised by the Captain had a sweet smile on her face, which was very beautiful, giving people a sense of innocence.

But the meaning revealed by the words was extremely evil.

It was as if there was a deep-seated resentment and madness slowly spreading, making the late Foundation Establishment Sea Corpse Clan member's footsteps pause.

He knew the Third Princess's personality and understood that the other party's multiple outings were just seeking death. He even knew that every time the Third Princess was resurrected, the King would arrange for some clansmen to go over to be devoured by the Third Princess, thereby accelerating the process of resurrection.

So after he was silent, he looked at Xu Qing.

"You can get lost."

Xu Qing's expression was cold, and the corpse poison in his body spread, turning into an invisible storm around him, and his voice spoke hoarsely.

"Robbing me of the credit for escorting?"

Almost the instant Xu Qing's words came out, a black coffin behind him suddenly opened, and a Sea Corpse Clan cultivator figure instantly rushed out from inside. The fluctuation of two life fires erupted instantly, and the speed was so fast that it directly approached Xu Qing.

This was a woman, who was a Mermaid Clan member before she died.

The moment she approached Xu Qing, she immediately wanted to suppress him. Clearly, the late Foundation Establishment Sea Corpse Clan member responsible for guarding the port was preparing to take away the credit for Xu Qing escorting the Princess back.

Xu Qing's gaze was cold, and his expression didn't change at all. The moment the Mermaid woman approached, his body suddenly slammed backward, colliding with the other party amidst a roar.

The sound exploded, and Xu Qing raised his right hand and fiercely grabbed toward the Mermaid woman.

This Mermaid woman's expression changed, her mind shaken by the impact of Xu Qing's physical strength, and the life fire in her body swayed. She immediately wanted to dodge.

But Xu Qing's speed was too fast. Under the grab, there seemed to be a suction force emitted, causing the Mermaid woman's movements to pause.

The next instant, Xu Qing rushed out. In the blink of an eye, he approached the woman, his right hand directly stabbing into her chest, grabbing her heart, and fiercely squeezing it.

With a boom, the heart of this Mermaid-like two-fire Foundation Establishment female cultivator instantly collapsed.

Even if the Sea Corpse Clan was not sensitive to pain, this kind of injury still made her emit a shrill sound. But this female cultivator was not simple either. With ruthlessness in her eyes, she actually bit toward Xu Qing's neck.

This was a common method among the Sea Corpse Clan.

Her teeth were sharp. Seeing that she was about to bite Xu Qing, Xu Qing sneered and jerked his head, fiercely slamming into the woman's mouth.

With a 'crack', the woman's teeth collapsed, and her face was blurred with blood. As the scream became even shriller, Xu Qing's expression was ferocious, and he also opened his mouth, swiftly biting toward the Mermaid woman's neck!

This bite was extremely powerful, causing the Mermaid-like female cultivator's neck to be instantly bitten off by Xu Qing.

As he inhaled, rich foreign matter instantly surged from the Mermaid woman's body into Xu Qing's.

The Mermaid woman wanted to struggle, but Xu Qing's arm strength was extremely great, fiercely pressing her down and suppressing her, while he kept absorbing without stopping, looking extremely cruel.

The whole process was only six or seven breaths of time. The Mermaid-like female cultivator had her foreign matter exhausted, her life fire extinguished, and her Dharma apertures withered. Her entire person turned into a dried corpse and fell to the side, not dead, but still twitching.

"Wow, it's really fun. Why did this big sister shrivel up?"

The Captain smiled sweetly, his body swaying as he walked to the Mermaid woman, and licked his lips.

Xu Qing turned around and looked at the three-fire Foundation Establishment Sea Corpse Clan member standing in mid-air outside the ship.

"Come with nine more for me to devour, and I can give the credit to you."

Xu Qing's mouth was still stained with blue blood, and his eyes were indifferent without any emotional fluctuations.

But his appearance at this moment made that three-fire Foundation Establishment cultivator's expression somewhat heavy.

The reason he spoke like this just now was both to rob the credit and to test him.

It was really that during this period, some disciples of the Seven Blood Eyes always used various methods to infiltrate. Although all were found and beheaded, the Princess's return could also be arranged by the Seven Blood Eyes.

If the other party had really left just now, he would have reported this matter, and naturally, other clansmen would go to distinguish it.

But now he dispelled this thought. The formation on the Princess's side had confirmed there was no problem. As for this clansman who escorted the Princess back, not only was the formation confirmed, but the other party's behavior of devouring foreign matter was also something only the Sea Corpse Clan dared to do.

And being able to easily destroy one of his two-fire subordinates also showed that the other party was not far from breaking through to his level.

Thus, he waved his hand, and the lightning on the sixteen black coffins around dissipated instantly, each falling toward the ground below.

"Send the Princess to the forbidden area of the Seventh Corpse Ancestor statue!"

After waving away the blockade, this Sea Corpse Clan Foundation Establishment member spoke.

Instantly, a lingzhi on the ground below twisted, emitting a large amount of black mist. After these black mists squirmed and gathered swiftly, they actually formed a giant octopus.

This octopus floated over, one tentacle wrapped around the black wood ship, and other tentacles spread to the distance on the ground, taking Xu Qing and the Captain straight to the distance.

Behind them, that three-fire Sea Corpse Clan cultivator lowered his head, respectfully seeing them off, and also emitted a low voice.

"Princess, it is my duty. Please do not mind the disrespect just now."

After speaking, this three-fire Foundation Establishment Sea Corpse Clan member raised his right hand, fiercely bit off one of his fingers, and threw it forward.

Instantly, this finger boomed, turning into a rich corpse poison, spreading to Xu Qing and the Captain's ship, where it formed a mark shining with black light.

"With this mark, no one will disturb the Princess on the rest of the journey. Please forgive me, Princess."

"You can get lost," the Captain spoke indifferently.

"Thank you, Princess."

That three-fire Foundation Establishment member lowered his head, spoke calmly, and then flickered away, returning to the coastline to continue guarding against foreign enemies here.

Just like that, the ship Xu Qing and the Captain were on, in the running of the giant octopus below, was very fast, approaching the place where the Seventh Corpse Ancestor statue was located continuously.

Actually, this was also their deliberate choice.

The Sea Corpse Clan had a total of nine Corpse Ancestor statues, scattered in different areas, each guarded by heavy troops. At the same time, the location of this Seventh Corpse Ancestor statue was relatively close to the sea and had some distance from the King City, so it became the first choice in the Captain's plan.

Most importantly, in the intelligence the Captain bought, the Sea Corpse Clan Golden Core powerhouse guarding this Seventh Corpse Ancestor statue was transferred to the battlefield because the front line was tight.

The current guardian's cultivation base was only at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

Xu Qing was originally hesitant, but the Captain looked like he guaranteed the intelligence was no problem, so Xu Qing didn't ask too much.

At this moment, as they moved forward, as they entered the inland of the Sea Corpse Clan, this world was completely displayed in front of Xu Qing and the Captain.

The land was pitch black, covered with countless black grasses. These grasses contained rich and astonishing foreign matter, making this place no different from the forbidden area Xu Qing had been to.

And such foreign matter was naturally a holy land for the Sea Corpse Clan, but for other cultivators who absorbed spiritual energy, this place was equivalent to the existence of countless poisons.

And once one was here for a long time, foreign matter accumulated in the body, and if one couldn't suppress and control it in time, the possibility of alienation would increase infinitely.

But the Captain clearly possessed other methods to ignore the poison of foreign matter for a short time. Xu Qing didn't know why, but he felt it was highly likely related to divine flesh and blood.

Clearly, the Juying place couldn't be the Captain's first madness. Before that, the Captain should have been crazy many times.

At the same time, during this forward movement, Xu Qing also saw that besides black grass and blood-colored lingzhi and withered giant trees on the ground, there were also blood-colored rivers spreading on the land.

And although the sky was pitch black, it didn't affect the line of sight. There were many eyes in the clouds, all of which were crimson. Every time they opened, light would spread to the ground.

The opening and closing at different times led to the existence of light at all times on this land shrouded by the black sky. Although dim, it was enough for cultivators to check in all directions.

As for what these eyes were, Xu Qing soon knew the answer.

He clearly saw an eye drilling out from the clouds and mist, revealing a wide rotting fish body. This kind of fish had a tentacle growing on its head, and an eye growing at the end of the tentacle.

It couldn't be seen when closed, but it was like a lantern after opening, emitting light.

This kind of fish was densely packed and countless in the sky clouds and mist of the Sea Corpse Clan. They would sink from time to time and fly through the air, causing light to spread continuously.

This scene made Xu Qing feel very strange. At the same time, he also saw many Sea Corpse Clan members, and the races inside were even more mixed. There were too many that Xu Qing had never seen before.

In addition, during this forward movement, Xu Qing also saw a scene that made his heart shake.

That was a piece of land.

All the lingzhi and giant trees on the ground were cleared out. When the octopus Xu Qing was on passed by there, Xu Qing saw a large number of Sea Corpse Clan members digging on the ground.

The part that had been dug out could be seen to be a palm, but this palm was too big, a full hundreds of zhang in size, like a burial place of an ancient giant.

At this moment, as it was dug open, as the rotting flesh and blood were revealed, Xu Qing noticed more Sea Corpse Clan members gathering there, performing some kind of ritual with each other.

Until the ship Xu Qing was on left that area, a heaven-shaking roar came out. Xu Qing looked back with a shaken heart and saw that in the area far away, at this moment, a giant hand a thousand zhang long stretched out directly from the ground, as if it wanted to grab toward the sky.

"Resurrected!" Xu Qing took a deep breath.

Besides this, there was also a unique creature in this Sea Corpse Clan, which was a kind of butterfly with a ghost face.

According to the Captain's popularization to Xu Qing along the way, when Xu Qing saw these butterflies, he knew this butterfly was named Ghost Dream. It was rumored that on this island continent, this kind of Ghost Dream butterfly was the original inhabitant.

They were a group that appeared earlier than the Sea Corpse Clan and were extremely numerous on this island continent. At this moment, as Xu Qing and the Captain moved forward, one Ghost Dream butterfly after another floated over, circling and dancing around them.

This scene should have been a beautiful picture, but as the ghost faces on the butterfly wings devoured foreign matter and were ferocious like a resurrection, the style of the picture became gloomy and strange.

Especially Xu Qing, for some reason, the Ghost Dream butterflies gathered extremely much, and even more Ghost Dream butterflies could be seen in the distance, also coming toward him.

This made Xu Qing frown.

"My protector, why are you attracting bees and butterflies here too?" Behind him, the Captain coughed delicately and spoke gloomily.

After the reporter who had a 'close' friendship with the little newcomer exploded for him yesterday, he turned around and rewarded ten thousand yuan. This operation made the little newcomer feel familiar, uh...

A little panicked, that... he wouldn't have taken a fancy to me, right? The little Mengxin is super nervous.

I always feel that I will be exploded again soon. Seeking monthly tickets, seeking protection! ===== CHAPTER 186 =====
