White Bone Monkey King

Squeaking——

Squeaking——

The negative emotions of people's hearts can be infinitely magnified in the darkness, and the darkest darkness can devour people's hearts. As soon as Wutou Jinan stepped into the dark world in the cabin, he heard the whispers of many people in the darkness.

It was so dense that it was difficult to tell how many people's voices were wandering in the darkness.

There were voices everywhere around him, behind him, and above his head.

Coupled with the strong smell of blood in the air and the feeling of blood stains sticking from the soles of his shoes with every step, the atmosphere was extremely terrifying, making people subconsciously hold their breath and feel goosebumps.

This kind of dark environment can detonate all the negative emotions in people's hearts. No one can be calm in such a dark environment. Even Wutou Jinan, who is used to life and death and mountains of corpses and seas of blood, has more or less some strange feelings in his heart at this time.

The whispers of people are still lingering in the darkness around him.

If you want to listen carefully to what those whispers are talking about, after standing still and listening carefully, you will find that those whispers are more like the nonsense of a group of lunatics gathered together, which is incoherent and meaningless.

Headless Jinan, holding the soul-guiding lantern, stood still and listened for a while. After finding that it was all the nonsense of lunatics, he took a step and continued to explore in the dark.

Unfortunately, the green candlelight in the lantern has a limited lighting range in the dark cabin. It can only barely illuminate the feet and emit a little hazy halo. The area outside the soles of the feet is endless darkness that can swallow all light.

Fortunately, it is not the first time that Headless Jinan has walked alone in the dark. He has gone through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood more than once, and this environment can't scare him away. While he was thinking about the structure of the ghost ship in his mind, he was also calculating where he was standing in the cabin at this time, and then he calmly groped forward in the dark environment.

This kind of multitasking in a complex environment is also not difficult for him who has practiced the Thousand Heart Tribulations.

The more he used the Thousand Heart Tribulation in the Heavenly Demonic Art, the more he used it. Although the means of attack were not as good as the Taoist arts and magical powers he had learned, it was definitely the most practical in daily life, and he had long been inseparable from the thousands of wonderful uses brought by the Thousand Heart Tribulation.

At this time, he still had time to think about other things. He felt that it was a wise decision not to bring the one-eyed paper man into the cabin this time, leaving the one-eyed paper man outside to help him keep an eye on the sea surface.

Only by practicing the Thousand Heart Tribulation and keeping a calm mind could he cope with the unique environment in the cabin.

Headless Jin An followed his memory and moved forward by feeling the wall in the dark environment. He actually found the entrance to the second-floor cabin successfully.

Click——

Click——

It was the sound of footsteps stepping on the wooden stairs and walking down the second-floor cabin. Every time he stepped on a step, the connection between the stairs and the deck would make a sour sound of wood biting, as if it would collapse at any time.

The feeling of going down the stairs is not good. The feet are sticky and slippery. You don't need to look down to see that the stairs are covered with a thick layer of sticky blood.

The second floor of the cabin is very narrow. After entering here, the voices of people around you are more and more. You can feel the cold resentment on every deck, just like walking in a narrow space where people are shoulder to shoulder. The voices of people are so dense that they are almost directly attached to your body.

However, the dim light of the soul-guiding lamp can only illuminate the endless dark void and the many dragging blood marks on the floor, but it can't illuminate any shadows.

It can be felt that there are people around, but the eyes can't see a single person in the air. This is a very strange and novel experience.

Wutou Jinan held the soul-guiding lamp in one hand and felt the wall in the dark with the other hand. The cabin design is not too complicated. Generally speaking, this floor is half a crew rest cabin and half a cargo hold.

The air on the next floor is turbid and lacking. It is not suitable for people and livestock to live. It will be a hold.

The bottom layer is the watertight cabin.

So, after he went down to the second floor, the first place he arrived was the crew rest cabin. Due to the inherent lack of space, in order to maximize the use of space, the design of the crew rest cabin is not complicated. Most of them are designed horizontally and vertically, with only a narrow and simple corridor for people to pass through.

No wonder he felt that there were people around him as soon as he entered the second floor.

Creaky--

Creaky--

In the second-floor cabin, which was even darker and quieter, even the sound of the surging waves was isolated outside, and the sound of pushing the door continued to be heard.

Headless Jin An moved forward by feeling the wall. Every time he passed a room, he would push the door to check, but every time he stood at the door and did not go in, and then continued to walk to the next room.

Although he could not see anything in the dark, his sense of smell was not lost. He could smell whether there was danger in the cabin or whether there was anything else hidden.

Corpses have corpse odor.

Ghosts have ghost aura.

People have human smell.

Old objects have the smell of years of old objects.

He is a martial arts immortal, and his six senses are stronger than those of the masters of the same realm. All 36,000 pores on his body are his sense of smell.

As a result, he searched all the cabins, but he didn't find the person or the immortal tripod he was looking for. This dark world seems to be extremely active, but it is actually extremely quiet. There is extreme quiet hidden in the extreme movement. The air is filled with the whispers of many people's nightmares, but in fact there is no one. Not even a corpse was found. It was abnormally quiet.

Not finding a corpse can only mean one thing: the crew drifted on the sea for too long without food and water, and they were starving and ate too cleanly.

There was not even a clue of meat or bones left for him.

"Since the Immortal Cauldron of Gewu was not found in the crew cabin, it seems that the Immortal Cauldron of Gewu is very large and is stored in the ship's hold further inside."

Headless Jin'an, holding the soul-guiding lamp with green ghost fire, continued to grope in the darkness.

Just as he had guessed before, the first half of the second floor was the crew's rest cabin, and the second half was indeed the ship's hold. The space was suddenly wide open and filled with sundries.

He touched many large and small packages of tightly packed goods.

These goods were almost all tightly packed and intact, and they were all intact, indicating that this place was not greatly affected.

Wait!

Headless Jin'an stopped suddenly!

Bang!

In the invisible darkness, Headless Jin'an raised his hand and pierced a sack of burlap, digging out some small pieces from it.

Through the touch of his fingertips and the smell, he could tell that these were spices shipped from the West.

Bang!

His palm pierced another sack of burlap, this time to dry medicinal herbs.

This time, what he broke was a heavy wooden box, which contained ivory, which was the favorite of the nobles.

…

The search continued.

Until he broke six or seven pieces of cargo in a row, he finally found what he was looking for, pickled fish and a small amount of pickled cabbage. He did not search any further, because if he searched further, he would definitely find other food.

This is what he suddenly realized was wrong. The cargo in the ship's hold was intact, and the stored food was still there. So his previous speculation that the chain of cannibalism caused by lack of food and water was not true at all!

These crew members did not eat people because of food needs, but because of human nature!
