C88

The Nether Sea was deathly still!

All of us were lying on the kayak with our searchlights turned off, causing darkness to engulf the entire world. Green rays of light pierced through the darkness from afar and came closer and closer to us. Everyone was extremely nervous, as no one knew what kind of indescribable fear existed within this mysterious Nether Sea.

Five hundred meters!

Three hundred meters!

One hundred meters!

The green light was getting closer and closer, and we were getting more and more nervous. When it finally appeared in front of our eyes, everyone was stunned, because that green light was really just a ray of light.

It was a wind lamp, or to be more accurate, it was a bright lamp. Under the green light, we could see a Ancient Warship, and the bright lamp was at the head of the Ancient Warship.

The ancient lamps had many meanings, and they were a double layer structure, usually made from a large cauldron. At the mouth of the cauldron, there was a container, inside of which was lamp oil, the wick of the lamp was made from vinegar, and the outer layer was filled with water to cool the lamp oil.

The lamp was an extremely great invention, because the oil consumed by the oil lamp was not ignited, but rather heated. Not only could the vinegar soaked wick keep the lamp burning at a low temperature, but the water outside could also effectively prevent the oil's temperature from rising, thus achieving the principle that the lamp would never go out!

Eternal light could be seen in many ancient tombs in China. It meant that those who died were like the living, hoping that the lamp would grow brighter. However, many of the ancient tombs had their lamps extinguished because once the tomb's entrance was sealed, the lamp would be extinguished due to the loss of oxygen!

But because they had just opened the ancient tomb, the flames could ignite again due to the influx of oxygen. This was also the reason why Tomb Robber went into the tomb and found the lamp still lit when they went in.

Nether Sea are obviously different. Because there is oxygen in the ground, the lamp is able to maintain its low temperature, which is why we can see the green light.

However, what surprised us all was that this ancient battlefield lamp was made of corpses. A human figure stood on the bow of the ship with his hands raised high, emitting a green light from the container above his head. It seemed like mercury had been poured into the bodies of these people.

We turned around to look at the other two green lights and discovered that they were Ancient Warship s as well. They were also long lamps made from corpses, and they were extremely strange, we didn't see anyone on the boat and judging from the appearance of the boat, it must have been at least a few hundred years ago!

The three Ancient Warship s that were approaching our rubber dinghy from three different directions, and were moving past them at a slow speed, were not coming towards us but rather the dead silence of the dinghy. There was no one on the boat at all, and everyone was feeling a little anxious.

I was really afraid that someone on the boat would reply to the sea, but it was clear that I was overthinking. There was no reply from the boat. The monk suddenly said in a low voice, "Could this be a ghost ship?"

I have heard quite a lot about ghost ships. It is said that ghost ships are always floating on the sea, with no purpose or direction. Sometimes they appear at one end of the sea, sometimes they disappear, and when they appear again, they may have gone to the other end.

People often said that the ghost ship was actually one of Prince Long's shrimp soldiers that was patrolling the sea. If they encountered the ghost ship, they absolutely could not let the ghost on board discover the shadow of the ghost ship, otherwise they would be taken off the bottom of the sea to be fed to the fish.

I used to listen to these legends as stories, but after seeing these ghost ships today, to be honest, I felt that these legends were true.

The Nether Sea was hidden under the Wild Mountain, and very few people knew about it. Other than Loong Liaan in the White Kingdom era, to Chen Jun, and to the Ming Dynasty and Japanese later on, how many people knew about it in the world?

An extremely absurd idea suddenly emerged in my heart. It is that the people who disappeared into the Nether Sea didn't actually die, but instead lived in the Nether Sea, living on it for all of eternity.

"Damn, that's not right!"

Hai Yang, who was observing the other two ghost ships, suddenly exclaimed, "There's someone on that ship!"

This ghost ship is only about ten meters away from us. Under the green light of the long lamp on the bow of the ship, we can indeed see a figure sitting on the bow of the ship with an imposing manner, and beside this person, we can even vaguely see two people standing beside him like javelins, like guards!

"Monk, watch carefully. If the other party makes any move, just open fire. Make the first move!"

My forehead was drenched in cold sweat, my veins were popping out, I spoke to the monk quickly and then moved my body to turn the searchlight on the rubber dinghy towards the ghost ship, Zhu Yingqiong immediately grabbed onto my hand and asked: "What are you doing?"

I wiped off my cold sweat. "I can't go on like this. God knows if those people are human or ghost, so I might as well turn on the lights and see clearly. If something really isn't right, we'll make our move. Otherwise, we'll be too passive when the three ghost ships surround us!"

Zhu Yingqiong nodded her head, feeling that what I said was reasonable, she did not try to stop me, but I did not dare to hesitate, I turned on the searchlight and turned it on!

Thump!

The moment the switch was turned on, my heart trembled as well. With a 'shua' sound, the white light was emitted, and the light immediately enveloped the head of the ghost ship. However, what surprised us was that when the light shone onto the ghost ship, the few figures on the bow remained motionless!

The monk was ready to fire the moment he turned on the light, but he was also stunned when he saw this scene. Damn it, what did the three people on the ghost ship mean?

We looked at each other, then followed the light to look at the three figures, only then did we realize that the three people at the bow were dressed in strange clothes, they were all in ancient robes, two of them were standing like guards, wearing gorgeous robes, their expressions firm and resolute, their right hands holding down the hilt of the sabre hanging by their waist without moving!

The figure in the middle sits on an armchair. His face is old, but he doesn't have a beard. After looking at him for a while, I suddenly realized that this is the uniform of a f * cking eunuch!

One of the workers that was left behind by Fourth Uncle shouted, "Crown Prince, these are all dead people, just like the corpses that we fished out on the shore!"

Hai Yang also said, "The one in the middle looks like an eunuch, but look carefully at the other two guards. Flying fish clothes and the Embroidered Spring Saber, these are the standard equipment for Imperial Guard.

Zhu Yingqiong said in shock: "I understand now, do you remember the decree that we found previously, on it, Emperor Yongle Zhu Di said that he sent the Command Room Supervisor, Eunuch Chang Bao Tian to enter the Wild Mountain, and the corpse that we saw earlier should be the Imperial Guard Supervisor, it's just that it wasn't there, so the corpse had already rotted away, and the corpse in front of our eyes should have already died long ago, it's just that it died from the Nether Sea, so the corpse did not rot, it was perfectly preserved, this eunuch should be Chang Bao Tian!"

The monk also said: "Looks like they still found the Nether Sea in the end, but why did they all die because of it?"

"We'll understand once we get on the boat!"

After saying that, Hai Yang stood up in a relaxed manner, threw the rope over the Ancient Ship's ship's side and pulled with all her might. After that, she was the first one to pull on the rope and climb up, at first, we thought that the ship would be in danger, but after going up to the ocean and nothing happened, everyone finally relaxed and climbed up the Ancient Warship.

The ship is very old, it is definitely a Ming Dynasty warship. We searched the cabin and found that there are more than a dozen dead bodies without rotting Imperial Guard, but we didn't find any important information on their bodies.

On the bow of the ship, the eunuch Chang Bao Tian's body was completely preserved. Before his death, he seemed to be observing his Nether Sea and the ship was very neat and tidy, without any signs of war. These people seemed to have died suddenly, for no reason.

This caused me to feel extremely terrified, because we had encountered this kind of situation before when we were at the Wild Mountain. The miasma assaulted us and caused death soundlessly, and before people died, the situation was exactly the same as the situation on the ship.

Could it be that there was poisonous miasma on the Nether Sea?

We quickly boarded the other two Ming warships and found that it was the same situation. Many people died in the cabin as well, but the corpses did not rot. Furthermore, the cause of death was the same.

Hai Yang said in shock, "I don't feel good. These people have died in a very strange way. I think we should quickly retreat!"

Everyone agreed with this point, but when we returned to the rubber dinghy, we saw that the three waiters had not come down yet. Looking at the boat, we saw that the three waiters had collected all the Embroidered Spring Sabres for Imperial Guard and were about to carry them onto the rubber dinghy.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you coming up? "

I hastily berated him angrily and the assistant said, "Crown Prince, these are all treasures of the Ming Dynasty. After we take them out, we will definitely sell them for a high price. No matter how unfortunate it is to leave them here!"

"Selling my ass!"

I shouted angrily, "The reason why the corpse and the Embroidered Spring Saber can remain intact is because this place is special to the Nether Sea. Once we leave the Nether Sea's location, the sabre will oxidize to scrap metal in the blink of an eye.

"Good …" "Alright!"

The shop assistant was a little reluctant as he said that. With a loud bang, he threw the Embroidered Spring Sabers onto the board, and the two workers jumped on the boat. The last shop assistant was about to jump, but suddenly, his face turned deathly pale.

Before we could even react to what was happening, we saw a black line rush down the shop assistant's neck all the way to his face. The shop assistant fell onto the board with a crash.

"Holy sh * t, what's going on?"

Hai Shui opened her eyes wide and shouted. Just as she was about to board the ship to pull the helper, Zhu Yingqiong suddenly grabbed onto the ocean and shouted in panic, "Let's go!"

Puff!

Just as Zhu Yingqiong's voice fell, we heard a light muffled sound as a black bug the size of a fingernail instantly flew out from the dead shop assistant's head.
