Qiuyue, Draw Your Sword and Destroy It!
"Retreat!"
Without saying a word, Ye Jing pulled Qiuyue and prepared to retreat outside.
There are countless strange things among them. Although he is weak, he doesn't know the specifics of what's inside, so Ye Jing doesn't intend to alert them!
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
However, the Dark Shadow seemed to sense Ye Jing and his companion's intentions, letting out sharp cries before surging forward and rapidly approaching them!
"Young master, be careful!"
Qiuyue gripped her spirit sword tightly, ready to respond at any moment.
Ye Jing's expression turned serious; he understood that these Dark Shadow didn't want him to leave.
"Then don't blame me?" Ye Jing originally wanted to be on the safe side and reconsider after leaving, but since they couldn't leave, they would all be burned to ashes!
"Qiuyue, Draw Your Sword!"
He gave a soft shout.
Qiuyue immediately understood, and in addition to the spirit sword in her hand, 49 spirit swords appeared directly behind her!
Golden flames lit up in Ye Jing's palm, and then he flew towards the 49 spirit swords behind Qiuyue.
"Boom!"
Golden flames instantly coated the 49 spirit swords.
"Go!"
Qiuyue flicked her fingers, making a sword gesture.
Behind him, 49 spirit swords rained down like a storm, shooting towards the densely packed Dark Shadow!
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The rain of swords cleaved through the darkness, carrying a fierce momentum, aiming straight for the Dark Shadow's vitals.
As soon as the sword touches the shadow, the Great Sun Golden Flame will engulf it and burn Dark Shadow to Dark Shadow!
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
The Dark Shadow let out sharp cries, seemingly aware of the danger, but instead of scattering and fleeing, they surged even more frantically toward Ye Jing and Qiuyue.
"Hmph! You're asking for death!"
Ye Jing snorted coldly, and the array plate in his hand flashed, creating a golden barrier in front of the two of them, keeping the Dark Shadow out.
"Great Sun Golden Flame, Burn!"
He once again activated the Great Sun Golden Flame, igniting the golden flames attached to the spirit sword, instantly forming a sea of fire that enveloped the Dark Shadow.
Having spent so much time together, the master and servant naturally developed a cooperative relationship.
This is considered one of their combination techniques!
"Aaaaaah!"
The screams rose and fell, and the dark Dark Shadow struggled in agony as they were burned by the golden flames, but they could not escape.
But there were too many Dark Shadow, and Ye Jing and Qiuyue didn't know how long they had been burning.
The ground was charred black, yet it was still crawling with Dark Shadow!
"Young Master, what exactly are these things?" Qiuyue wrinkled her nose, smelling the strange, burnt odor.
Ye Jing frowned and shook his head. "I don't know either, but they are definitely not ordinary creatures, otherwise they couldn't have reproduced so many in such a short time."
"Then what should we do? Keep burning it?" Qiuyue covered her nose; the strange smell was getting stronger and stronger!
Ye Jing pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's delve deeper and see what secrets this ferry is hiding."
The two nodded and continued along the passage.
The Great Sun Golden Flame did not stop, continuing to burn the Dark Shadow!
As they continued their journey, the eerie Dark Shadow increased in number, and the surrounding darkness made them feel increasingly oppressed.
"Knock knock!"
Suddenly, a deep, muffled sound came from the depths of the darkness.
The master and servant stopped in their tracks!
"Knock knock!"
The dull sound rang out again!
The aura of evil intensified even further!
"Young Master, don't you feel that the atmosphere here is getting increasingly strange?"
Ye Jing sensed it too, and he nodded, "It seems like something is being nurtured deep within the ferry!"
"Knock knock!"
Accompanied by a dull sound, a strong, eerie wind blew past, carrying a chilling howl, as if something was lurking in the shadows, watching them.
Ye Jing and Qiuyue instantly became alert.
"Golden Sun Flame Wheel!"
The golden flames in Ye Jing's hand erupted instantly, resembling a giant golden sun!
"Whoosh!"
Ye Jing threw the giant golden sun directly out, and a golden flame shot out, striking the terrifying figure.
"Sizzle..."
The sound of burning filled the air, and the Great Sun Golden Flame instantly engulfed the entire passage!
However, this time the Dark Shadow was not easily burned to ashes as before; instead, it struggled in the flames, letting out a mournful cry.
The other ordinary Dark Shadow vanished instantly!
"What is this?" Qiuyue exclaimed in surprise.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the Dark Shadow resembled, yet was different from, the strange creatures he had encountered before.
Its body is strangely twisted, with long, thin, and bent limbs. Its head is also a long, thin black stick, but at the top of this black stick is a hideous human face!
The man's face had bloodshot eyes, even as flames raged over him.
A cruel smile played on his lips, as if he were savoring the pain and despair.
Even if he could hold out a little longer, he would still be burned out very quickly!
"The secrets of this ferry are far more complex than we imagined." Ye Jing's tone was solemn as his gaze pierced through the raging flames and looked into the depths of darkness.
Qiuyue gripped her spirit sword tightly, her expression turning serious. "Young Master, should we retreat first?"
Ye Jing shook his head. "No, we've come this far, we can't give up halfway. Besides, I have a feeling that even if we back down, this thing will still come after us!"
"Curse?" Qiuyue thought of a word. "What should we do now?"
Ye Jing took a slight breath and said in a deep voice, "Continue going deeper."
[Your Heaven-Defying Comprehension. Having been in the cradle of Evil God for a long time, you have developed Demonic/Evil Resistance Antibody, increasing your resistance to damage from evil and malevolent forces!]
Ye Jing was about to take a step when he stopped!
The system's voice then rang in my mind.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Qiuyue asked, controlling the Flying Sword with a puzzled expression.
"It's alright, let's go!"
Ye Jing shook his head slightly, not telling Qiuyue the information provided by the system.
This place is actually the breeding ground for Evil God; no wonder he always felt that something was being nurtured here.
These Dark Shadow must be the guards of the Evil God's cradle!
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding darkness grew thicker, and the number of strange creatures increased, but none of them were a match for Ye Jing and Qiuyue.
This put the two of them a little at ease; if the guards weren't strong, their master couldn't be too powerful either!
Finally, after walking for an unknown amount of time...
They discovered an ancient altar at the bottom of the ferry, covered with intricate runes and patterns.
On the runes and patterns, there was a flow of scarlet, viscous blood.
Before this rune, all the strange creatures paled in comparison.
An evil aura wafts over!
And those black creatures kept crawling out of that blood!
At the center of the altar was a Black Giant Egg radiating an intensely evil aura.
"Knock knock!"
The Black Giant Egg emitted a red glow, followed by a deep, muffled sound, like the beating of a heart!
"Is this the source of everything?" Qiuyue frowned.
