Fu Youhua didn't answer Hu Jiu's question, but instead asked again, "Are you sure you don't have any other better suggestions?"
Hu Jiu nodded solemnly. "Given the current situation, deploying Ghost Fire Bombs is the best option."
His gaze was very sincere, as if he had already won.
Fu Youhua paced back and forth anxiously, weighing the pros and cons.
The other Ghost Tamers either looked disdainful, deep in thought, or puzzled, but none of them interfered with Hu Jiu and Fu Youhua's conversation.
The person who offered the suggestion was Hu Jiu, and the person who made the decision was Fu Youhua. Whether the final result is good or bad, it has nothing to do with others. No one would be foolish enough to get involved in such a matter. They would rather spend that time thinking about how to gracefully and irresponsibly escape if the situation gets out of control.
The spread of the Ghost Blood accelerated rapidly. The giant Ash Urn was almost completely corroded, and the surrounding smaller Ash Urns were also affected, their candles going out and causing more ghosts to escape. However, these ghosts were immediately suppressed, eroded, and swallowed up by the Ghost Blood.
Bai Yang stared intently, observing. "Even Fierce Ghosts can't escape Ghost Blood. If they've just come out of the Ash Urn and get even a speck of blood on them, they'll soon be drowning in a sea of blood..."
The scene grew increasingly terrifying, causing his voice to tremble slightly. "Some ghosts from the Ash Urns have escaped the suppression of the Ghost Blood and are heading this way!"
This is terrible news; the terror of Ghost Blood is simply too great. But from another perspective, it might also be good news. If the suppressive power of Ghost Blood against Fierce Ghost can be used reasonably and applied on a large scale in Supernatural events, the Headquarters' overall strength will reach a new level.
"Minister, you need to make a decision quickly; time waits for no one," Hu Jiu urged casually from the side.
The ordinary people who survived on the ship had all hidden inside their rooms and were not allowed to go out or move around freely. The Ghost Tamer were poised and ready to... run away at any moment.
The situation worsened and became increasingly deadlocked. After much deliberation, Fu Youhua finally issued the order, "Don't panic. Does anyone have any other better plans? If not, then we'll have to resort to releasing Ghost Fire!"
No one answered; I was afraid the package would get stuck.
"Then this is the only way!" Fu Youhua clenched his fist tightly, looking at Hu Jiu with a serious expression. "Are you sure using the Ghost Fire Bomb can solve the Supernatural events caused by the Ghost Blood?"
"Don't worry," Hu Jiu said meaningfully, "I don't want to waste any more time here."
Fu Youhua understood and immediately worked with his team to determine the drop locations for the Ghost Fire Bombs. After the plan was finalized, they didn't have time to think too much before carefully taking out three large Ghost Fire Bombs.
"The only problem is that we're too close to the Zhanying," Zhang Yuwei cautiously reminded him. To be honest, she thought the plan was very unreliable and didn't understand why Fu Youhua was so determined to do it.
"That's enough, the Ghost Blood is about to spread." Fu Youhua said perfunctorily, and then began the countdown to launch the artillery shells.
"...3,2,1"
"Emission!"
The Ghost Fire Bomb was launched in a parabolic trajectory. Due to the relatively short distance, it did not need much acceleration. In the blink of an eye, the warhead successfully separated in the air and shot towards the core of the Ghost Blood.
Many people on the ship were anxiously anticipating the outcome; if the Ghost Blood could be dealt with so easily and smoothly, that would be the best possible outcome.
Just then, Bai Yang's face suddenly showed a look of fear, as if he had seen a very horrifying scene.
Before he could say anything, the warhead of the Ghost Fire Bomb that had just been launched was gone.
Nothing happened.
There's a problem!
Fu Youhua's expression changed drastically in that instant; the three Ghost Fire Bombs he had launched seemed to have completely failed.
"What happened? What did you just see?" Fu Youhua shouted at Bai Yang, "Why didn't the Ghost Fire Bomb detonate!"
This result was truly disappointing; the three Ghost Fire Bombs had absolutely no effect.
Bai Yang wiped away the tears that streamed down his dry eyes. "The instant those three warheads hit the sea, I vaguely saw a strange hole swallow them all..."
Silence filled Cambridge tonight. This outcome was hard for Fu Youhua to accept, leaving his mind somewhat blank. But at this moment, regret was pointless.
Fu Youhua fiercely questioned Hu Jiu: "Didn't you say that launching the Ghost Fire Bomb would resolve this Supernatural event? Why did this happen!"
"Say it! Speak up!"
Hu Jiu ignored Fu Youhua's rudeness, after all, he had just taken three bribes. "The bomb didn't even detonate, how can you blame me? The problem lies with you. As a leader, you really didn't consider things comprehensively enough."
Fu Youhua was both shocked and furious. The other Ghost Tamers also changed their gazes towards Hu Jiu. How dare he manipulate his leader? Well, well, he really isn't afraid of being retaliated against!
"Don't be angry, I'm just stating the facts. The truth is always hard to hear. But don't worry, once the Ghost Fire Bomb detonates, a mere Ghost Blood won't be a problem at all," Hu Jiu said calmly.
"Hey, stop talking nonsense! I see the blood-red color of the ocean in the distance is deepening, and huge waves are rising, rapidly spreading towards the Zhanying at its current speed..."
"Damn it, Ghost Blood has already made contact with the Zhanying!" Bai Yang practically shouted these words.
"Has it completely spread?" Fu Youhua's voice was sharp and hoarse.
In fact, they still haven't figured out what the true form of the Ghost Blood is, but the other party has already come knocking on their door with overwhelming force.
Perhaps the Ghost Blood has a physical form, hidden within this sea of blood, or perhaps it is this crimson ocean itself.
In an instant, the red spread expanded, and the Zhanying was completely surrounded by a sea of blood. Even though there were many experts among the Ghost Tamers on board, most of them did not want to confront it head-on in the face of such a difference in scale.
The sea of blood surged, a crimson expanse everywhere. Some astute observers noticed strange drops of blood beginning to seep from the deck, a mysterious and Supernatural force rapidly penetrating the ship from the surrounding crimson ocean.
Swish--
Seeing that things were going badly, one of the Ghost Tamers immediately activated his Ghost Domain and fled.
Ghost Domain was incredibly fast, but as it swept across the crimson ocean, a stream of blood seemed to have a mind of its own, leaping out of the sea and entwining itself towards Ghost Domain.
A moment later, with a thud, the unfortunate Ghost Tamer was dragged into the sea of blood, without even having a chance to cry for help.
"Damn it!" Bai Yang exclaimed in shock, immediately recounting what he had seen to stop the other Ghost Tamers from escaping through their Ghost Domains.
