Chapter 998: Chapter 150: The "Treasure" Aboard Dragon Soaring
On the Dragon Soaring, there was a commotion, and Yun Sheng beca alert.
Just a mont ago, she sensed a powerful magic wave, emanating from the magic waterfall.
This magic wave was not ordinary; it faintly carried terrifying dark magic power.
How could a large dark demon beast appear in the waters of Penglai?
After the magic wave appeared, the two magic waterfalls began to move.
They kept compressing, desperately compressing, as if trying to crush the skyship.
Even more terrifying, while compressing, several gray, half-ter thick, tentacle-like things extended from the magic waterfall.
The tentacles pierced through the magic defense near the Dragon Soaring as if piercing a layer of paper, entangling the bow and stern of the Dragon Soaring, tearing them apart.
The captain saw this and imdiately ordered the hunters on the ship to advance, either using combat skills to chop or magic attacks.
But the tentacles completely ignored these.
However, the hunters’ attacks clearly angered the tentacle monster; the waterfall roared like a wild beast, and splashes of water flew.
"Puff puff puff" More tentacles drilled out from the magic waterfall.
A tentacle targeted a hunter, piercing through his chest, and that hunter’s body shriveled and dried up as if being deflated, soon leaving only a human skin.
After absorbing the human’s blood and flesh, the tentacle imdiately sprouted dark thorn-like barbs.
Having succeeded once, the tentacle continued to kill several more people.
The magic waterfall also changed color; the originally clear magic waterfall turned blood-red after the tentacle killed several.
Onboard the skyship, chaos ensued, and the ordinary passengers only knew how to flee in all directions, trying to retreat back to the cabin.
The captain, while commanding the hunters to cut down the tentacles, also had to prevent the panicked passengers from fleeing.
With so many people on board, the ship began to shake violently due to the chaos. If this continued, even without being killed by the tentacle monster, the ship would capsize due to imbalance.
Outside the magic waterfall, Dugu Xiu’s expression also changed slightly.
"That’s right, it must be the Abyssal Tentacle Sunflower, but why would such a tentacle sunflower appear here? This kind of anemone should only grow in the Netherworld Abyss," even Madam Chi Bi, a ruthless woman, changed her expression upon seeing the tentacle sunflower.
Because although the tentacle sunflowers are notoriously evil, they are not species of the Wuji Continent; they are species of the Netherworld.
Dugu Xiu ignored these; amidst the chaos of people, his gaze always followed Yun Sheng.
But where has Yun Sheng gone?
She was nowhere to be found among the familiar figures.
It turned out that during the chaos, Yun Sheng had slipped into the cabin.
Although she didn’t know what monster those tentacles belonged to, judging by their magic wave, Yun Sheng could determine that these tentacles were quite troubleso.
From them, Yun Sheng felt a familiar aura.
Yun Sheng had a great mory, and she quickly recalled that she had detected a similar magic wave from soone before.
Netherworld Ghost King!
At the Taoyuan Ruins, Yun Sheng was sent back more than five hundred years to the Taiyuan Castle by space-ti magic, where she had a brief encounter with the Netherworld Ghost King.
The aura the opponent emitted at that ti was exactly like the tentacle monster causing havoc now.
Before Bobbie hatched, Yun Sheng’s understanding of the Netherworld Ghost King was limited to the basis of the Netherworld Ghost Key.
But after Bo Bo hatched, it told Yun Sheng that beyond this continent, there are other realms, and the Netherworld Ghost Prison belongs to the Netherworld outside the Human World.
These creatures, which should only live in the Netherworld, suddenly appeared in the Penglai Sea of the Wuji Continent, there must be a reason.
Yun Sheng suspected that this reason was hidden within the Dragon Soaring.
Yun Sheng had closely observed the captain and the hunters’ expressions, especially after Hou Qin’s Dugu Xiu arrived, noting their evasive glances and how they often looked towards the cabin.
So, during the commotion, under the cover of the Golden Qilin, Yun Sheng slipped into the cabin.
There were not many people left in the cabin, and Yun Sheng quickly found the captain’s room.
After so searching within the captain’s room, Yun Sheng discovered a secret compartnt under the captain’s bed.
Upon opening the secret compartnt, Yun Sheng found a black oak box inside.
Yun Sheng was about to open the box when she heard a sharp rustling behind her.
Feeling a shiver on her scalp, Yun Sheng’s figure flickered, using the Night Charm Step Technique, she tapped her toes on the ground and dodged this deadly sneak attack.
As Yun Sheng dodged, sharp dark thorns broke through the floor, fiercely stabbing towards the attacker behind her.
Soon after, several clusters of fire explosions erupted, filling the cabin with dense smoke.
"Regent King, you cannot touch this thing, or don’t bla
for being rude," the captain of the Dragon Soaring was glaring angrily at Yun Sheng with the black box in his arms.
On his knee, an incision had been made by Yun Sheng’s dark thorn, cutting open a wound.
The captain of the Dragon Soaring clearly held so apprehension towards the "Regent King of Great Zhou."
After all, it was known across the continent that the Regent King of Great Zhou was the continent’s youngest Martial Emperor, yet no one expected that he was also a magic-wielding mage.
"You are not the captain of the Dragon Soaring. Tell , what is in this box?" The box was not heavy, and Yun Sheng attempted to infuse mana into it; however, the box clearly had a magic restriction placed on it, making it impossible for Yun Sheng to discern its contents at the mont.
"Regent King, you are a guest of Penglai, but there are certain things you should not know, otherwise, even as a Martial Emperor, escape would still be impossible," the captain of the Dragon Soaring smiled arrogantly.
He suddenly tore off his outer robe, revealing the garnt underneath.
To Yun Sheng’s surprise, he was not wearing a mage or martial artist robe, but a summoner robe similar to one Yun Sheng had seen on Summoner Bingling at the Wanlong Gambling House.
However, the robe worn by this summoner was clearly of a higher grade, being crimson in color.
A rapid calculation of the Summoning Court hierarchy flashed through Yun Sheng’s mind.
In the Summoning Court, only the Red Robed Cardinal could don a cardinal red summoner robe; the lower the rank beneath it, the lighter the color shade.
The summoner before her wearing the scarlet summoner robe possibly ant he was...
A sarcastic smile erged at the corner of Yun Sheng’s mouth.
"Indeed, I am one of the Thirteen Great Summoners of the Summoning Court, the Seventh Summoner of the court. Now that you know my identity, Regent King, shouldn’t you hand over what you’re holding," the Seventh Summoner declared with pride.
What could Martial Emperor matter when, in these summoners’ minds, only the Red Robe Summoning Emperor held supre status?
Moreover, they were currently on Penglai territory.
The Seventh Summoner noticed the "Regent King of Great Zhou" exhibited subtle changes in expression upon learning his identity.
