South of Wind Country, Other Shore Forest.
The hazy blood-colored moon emitted soft rays of light, illuminating this forest that had been silent for countless years. At a glance, the tall and short trees in the forest were uneven. The treetops were sharp and fierce, like inverted spikes, dyed with a layer of scarlet red light.
A spaceship that was like a black prehistoric beast galloping over broke through the wind from the distant sky. It was galloping at a rapid speed. Along the way, it swept past the ground without disturbing the airflow in the air. It was as if it was rapidly moving forward at the speed of a subworld.
This was an ink-black spaceship. The sails of the ship were raised high and embroidered with an ancient seal character: Heaven!
On the deck and the side of the ship, there were finely carved carvings densely covering the entire ship. It was as if there were countless black and twisted earthworms, wriggling and climbing on top of the ship, covering a thick layer. Under the hazy blood-colored moonlight, it reflected an ice-cold and deathly still cold light.
In the living room of the cabin, the lights were shining brightly, illuminating every inch of the living room as if it was daytime. The corner of the alloy iron table revealed a shadow.
Ye Chen picked up the bright red wine on the table and poured it into a burgundy cup. The rich and mellow wine fell in a straight line into the cup, emitting a fragrant wine fragrance that penetrated the heart and spleen. The dazzling light from the ceiling of the living room fell into the wine cup, reflecting his chiseled and resolute chin and face.
Ye Chen's slender and elegant fingers picked up the cup and gently took a sip. Soon after, he looked at the starry sky outside the porthole. His deep and pitch-black eyes did not reveal what he was thinking about. Just at this moment, the alarm in the living room suddenly sounded. It let out an ear-piercing scream, as if it had seen something extremely terrifying and was roaring at the top of its lungs.
"What's the matter?"
Ye Chen quickly returned to his senses. His handsome eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and his magnetic and charming voice slowly and deeply said. It seemed that he did not panic because of the Heavenly Dao Divine Boat's A-class alarm that had never been activated. He was still as calm and collected as before.
A vertical liquid screen appeared on the ceiling of the living room. On it appeared Laughing All Life's face that had changed color. Her delicate and beautiful cheeks seemed to have been smeared with something at this moment, becoming somewhat bloodless and distorted. She hurriedly said, "Not good, Master, in front, in front … there's a monster!"
Ye Chen frowned slightly, and his face slowly became gloomy. To be able to make Laughing All Life, who had followed the Heavenly Dao for many years and had seen a lot of things, lose her composure, most likely something incredible had appeared. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and the wine cup in his hand slowly condensed into pure white ice from where his fingers were holding it. It quickly spread throughout the entire wine cup, and even icicles appeared at the mouth of the cup, emitting white cold air.
Ye Chen put down the wine cup, and his slender body left the sofa. He turned around to look at Bai Yijun beside him. His thin lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something but stopped. At this moment, Bai Yijun had already walked over with a sweet smile. She was dressed in snow-white clothes that contrasted with her gentle and beautiful jade-like skin. Her eyes were pure black and bright, and she was like a docile cat. Gently, she floated in front of Ye Chen like a pure white cloud. Her slender little hand grabbed onto his broad and powerful palm, and she softly said, "Let's go together."
Ye Chen's gentle and deep eyes became gentle, and he lightly nodded his head. Then, he tightly grasped her delicate hand, and with a flash, he arrived at the deck of the cabin outside the Heavenly Dao Divine Boat. Standing inside the energy shield, he raised his eyes and looked ahead. He saw a black mountain-like figure in front of him, filled with a majestic and wild aura. The lines of its muscles were filled with a violent beauty, and every inch of its skin was like a finely crafted piece of art.
However, when they saw such a nearly perfect body, Ye Chen and Bai Yijun's expressions changed greatly, and they were filled with shock and disbelief. They saw that the towering giant in front of them was actually the headless ancient corpse they met in the Ancient World Peak!
Could it be that the army of headless ancient corpses from the Ancient World Peak had come to the ancient continent?
Such a thought flashed through Ye Chen's mind like lightning, and immediately after, his heart felt as if it was being strangled by a terrifying big hand, and a suffocating feeling filled his heart. He turned his head with difficulty to look at Bai Yijun beside him, and at this moment, this beautiful woman also turned her head to look at him.
Their eyes met in the air, and they both saw something in each other's eyes … fear!
Even a powerful figure like Ye Chen, who had the Heavenly Dao Scripture and many secret scriptures, and who had the control of the Heavenly Dao Divine Boat, after witnessing the terror of the headless ancient corpse, he clearly knew that with his little strength, he was completely not worth mentioning in the eyes of the headless ancient corpse, and could be torn into pieces in an instant!
Ye Chen slightly opened his mouth, and felt as if something was stuck in his throat, and even breathing was a little difficult. He used all the strength in his chest to let out a low and hoarse voice that even he himself did not expect, like a ghost, "Run, run first …"
Bai Yijun felt the cold sweat in his palm, and a fine layer of cold sweat also appeared on his forehead. She used all her strength to lightly nod her head, and then the two of them tacitly retreated quietly, as if they were afraid of alerting something. They suppressed the fluctuations of divine power in their body to the extreme, and did not let out the slightest bit of breath.
The headless ancient corpse towered between heaven and earth, with its back facing the Heavenly Dao Divine Boat, as if it was resting. Ye Chen slowly retreated while looking at the movements of the headless ancient corpse. Looking at the flat cut on its neck, a strange and frightening thought arose in his mind: What exactly was it that was able to cut off the head of such a monster, and the cut was so neat, and it looked like it was completely shot off in an instant!
It was not until this moment that Ye Chen suddenly felt that this ancient continent, which he thought he could already move unhindered, was actually full of mysteries everywhere. It was as if there was a pair of dark and cold eyes in every corner of the sky and earth, watching him from behind. It felt like a ghost blew a breath of cold air on his neck, and all the hair on his body stood on end.
These short dozen or so steps seemed to be as long and distant as a few light years. Time seemed to be heavy and cold, flowing into one's chest and strangling one's pounding heart, causing one to feel a suffocating fear.
When he returned to the cabin, Ye Chen suddenly let out a sigh of relief, as if a mountain of thousands of kilograms pressing down on his body suddenly disappeared. There was an indescribable sense of ease and carefreeness, which made him suddenly feel that breathing the air like this was actually a very pleasant thing. He did not even have time to gasp for breath before he hurriedly said, "Quickly shut down all the fluctuations of divine power on the spaceship, retreat, and activate the Universal Teleportation!"
"Yes … Master."
After Laughing All Life's slightly trembling voice fell, the large jets outside the Heavenly Dao Divine Ship quickly and slowly closed without any sound. Laughing All Life seemed to have completed an arduous task. Through the connection between herself and the spaceship, she discovered that the energy jets were all closed. She heaved a heavy sigh of relief in her heart, and then quickly pressed the retreat button.
Beep!
The bright red button seemed to be dripping blood, and it sank deep into the groove under her slender fingers that were like spring onions.
The corners of Laughing All Life's mouth curled up into a smile, but when she raised her head, this smile instantly froze. The fingers that were pressing the red button seemed to have lost all their strength, and without her noticing, they began to tremble slightly. At this moment, her eyes that were as clear as the blue sea were filled with intense fear, and a terrifying thought surfaced in her mind, as if a hideous devil's claw had reached out from the depths of her heart, and then fiercely grabbed her heart.
The button … is broken?
The scenery in front of her did not appear to be retreating. Using her light-focused retina, she clearly discovered that the Heavenly Dao Divine Ship did not retreat at all, and she had clearly issued a retreat order to the spaceship just now!
Even if the button was broken, in her senses, all the systems in the spaceship were operating normally, and there was no damage. And if they were damaged, they would have been repaired in the repair system long ago. However, all the data and information showed that all the major systems and operations in the spaceship were operating normally!
Ye Chen and Bai Yijun looked at the scenery outside the porthole that did not move, and they could not help but feel surprised. They quickly walked to the door of the main control room. In Ye Chen's vision, he only saw Laughing All Life's slender, snow-white body standing in front of the virtual control keyboard like a piece of wood, motionless as if someone had pressed her acupuncture points. She only looked at the starry sky outside in a daze. Only her two naturally vertical slender hands were trembling violently and with difficulty, as if there was a ghost attached to her body, and her entire body became stiff.
Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he could not help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Why are you still not retreating?"
Laughing All Life's neck turned around slowly like a machine, and her delicate face was distorted by an indescribable horror and fear, like a demon crawling out of hell. The originally cold and crisp voice also became hoarse and trembling, "The … the spaceship … is … is fixed by someone …"
"What?"
Ye Chen's pupils contracted, and his heart felt like it was being squeezed by a strong force instantly. He could not help but say, "How is that possible!" There was a trace of trembling in his voice.
"Why is it impossible?" Bai Yijun asked back with a chuckle.
The bodies of the three people in the spaceship suddenly tightened, as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Fear spread from the soles of their feet to the depths of their hearts, squeezing their wildly beating bright red hearts tightly, and they could not breathe at all. They only felt as if there was a cold and strange hand gently reaching into their backs, caressing their internal organs along their backs, massaging their stomach and kidneys, and their bodies felt like they could not stand properly.
Ye Chen grabbed Bai Yijun's slender hand tightly, and the two of them stood at the door of the cabin. They turned their heads to look at the direction of the voice, and saw that in the spacious living room, a bright red carpet was spread on the floor, and it shone with a blood-red light, as if it was flowing blood. On the sofa that Ye Chen had been sitting on before, there was now a black-haired young man sitting on it.
