Chen Lin stood at the stern of the ship, staring at the statue at the bow.
Not just him, there were about fifty people in the whole boat, all looking there.
At this moment, the statue with a human head and a snake body has come to life, emitting invisible energy fluctuations, urging the ship to move forward.
The speed of the boat is getting faster and faster, and the hair on the other side's head begins to flutter in the wind. In the dark and unknown environment, it gives people a strong sense of depression.
"Where are you taking us?"
Finally, someone couldn't hold back anymore and asked.
But got no response.
The resurrected statue kept looking forward, except for saying a word when sailing the boat, and made no other movements.
The other party spoke the ancient cultivator language, and the monk who asked the question also spoke the same language. The other party must be able to understand it, but just ignore it.
Then some monks asked in several languages, but to no avail.
Among the more than fifty monks, there are many high-level monks, and there are even several who are in the realm of refining the void. However, this place is inside the Immortal Palace after all, and it is in such a strange state. No one dares to act rashly.
Chen Lin did the same, while staring at the statue's actions, he also looked at the monks on the boat.
His eyes inadvertently glanced at the three figures standing on one side.
What a coincidence, these three people are Dong Yunqiu and the others!
These three people were clearly walking in front of him, but they boarded the ship behind him, just before it set sail.
This made Chen Lin couldn't help but suspect that it was not only the black light door he walked through that led to the ship, but other passages might also connect here.
After thinking for a while, he looked at a Nascent Soul monk next to him and asked via voice transmission: "Which door did you come in from?"
The Yuanying monk was a thin old man. After sensing the strong aura on Chen Lin's body, he did not dare to neglect. He immediately sent a message and replied: "Reporting to the senior, the junior came in through the golden gate in the middle, and then encountered three light doors. I
I randomly chose a black one and came to the ship.
Chen Lin suddenly felt enlightened.
It seems that no matter which golden door you take, as long as you choose the black one among the three light doors, you will be pulled onto the ship.
If so, this should still be an assessment.
Then he asked other people, and it turned out that just as he had guessed, they entered through different golden gates, but they all chose the black light gate.
Not only Chen Lin, but other monks are also communicating through messages to confirm each other's information.
But it was all sound transmission, and not a single sound could be heard on the ship. It was moving quietly through the black mist, which was very strange.
Chen Lin glanced at Dong Yunqiu's side again.
The other party did the same, his lips were slightly open, and he was communicating with the monk next to him, but the spirit demon ancestor frowned, and looked like he would not let strangers in.
The big ship is getting faster and faster.
The surrounding black fog is getting thicker and thicker, even making it impossible to see, and its corrosive power on the soul is getting stronger and stronger.
Chen Lin didn't have anything to say, but there were already people who couldn't resist.
Suddenly, a man at the stern of the boat let out a scream, flew out of the boat, and disappeared into the black mist.
This situation made everyone's expressions change.
What’s even more puzzling is that the person who was swept away was actually a god-transformation monk!
Among the more than fifty people on board, there is a wide range of cultivation levels. There are not only strong Void Cultivation Masters, but also God-Transforming Nascent Souls, more than a dozen Jindan and Foundation-Building monks, and even a female Qi Practicing Cultivator!
And the first one to be swept away was actually the cultivator of the God Transformation, which was so unconventional.
But before he could think about it, there was another scream, and an old Nascent Soul cultivator flew up from the boat. Like the previous one, he was swept into the black mist and disappeared.
Everyone suddenly became nervous.
If there is only one, it can be said to be a special situation, but two are swept away in a row, then there must be a reason.
Chen Lin's eyes flickered. If this is an assessment, what is the content of the assessment?
What exactly did these two people do to get eliminated?
Not only was he confused, but other monks were also confused, and they all communicated through messages again.
Especially the female Qi practitioner was regarded as a key target of attention.
But in the end, no useful conclusions were drawn, and everyone frowned and looked surprised.
"May I have your name?"
Chen Lin walked a few steps toward the middle of the boat, came up to the Qi practitioner girl, and sent a message to ask.
The female cultivator was used to being asked, and she immediately replied through a message: "Reporting to senior, my name is Zhao Mengru, and I come from the Zhao family in Lingyuan City by the sea. The patriarch Zhao Qingshan is my grandfather. I am thirty-five years old this year, and I am in the late stage of Qi training.
, for some special reasons, he entered the Sea of Souls, and just in time when the barrier of the Immortal Palace was broken, he ran in."
The other party probably didn't want to repeat the situation, so he simply explained all the situations in one go.
Chen Lin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and confirmed again: "What's your name?"
The female cultivator was a little confused, but she still respectfully transmitted the message: "This junior is called Zhao Mengru. He comes from the Zhao family in Lingyuan City. The lord of Lingyuan City, Zhao Qingshan, is the ancestor of the family!"
Zhao Mengru?
Chen Lin cooed softly, and a figure appeared in his mind.
After taking a closer look, he discovered that the charm of the female cultivator in front of him was somewhat similar to the Zhao Mengru he knew!
However, the Zhao Mengru he knew was probably already a withered skeleton. Even if he were alive, he would be hundreds of years old and could not be the person in front of him.
Sighing secretly, Chen Lin continued to send a message and asked: "Why are you here? Is this a place that you, a Qi Practitioner, can come to? Do you have any special support?"
It can be said that the foundation-building monks came in just to give it a try, but the qi-training monks who came in could no longer be described as courageous. They simply wanted to risk their lives.
Moreover, as the granddaughter of the city lord, it is impossible for the other party to lack cultivation resources. After all, the other party is just practicing Qi and does not need any high-level resources. At most, it only needs Foundation Building Pills, which are not difficult to obtain given the other party's status.
Zhao Mengru's face fell, and he replied via voice transmission: "Reporting to the seniors, the juniors don't want to come because they have offended someone they shouldn't offend, so they can only come here to avoid it first. If they can get some treasures to take back, maybe there will be some
A chance to turn around."
Chen Lin nodded.
He also guessed that the other party must have a compelling reason to come in, otherwise a Qi-training monk, let alone a treasure hunter, could kill the other party with any powerful energy fluctuation.
"Have you ever practiced the secret arts of the soul, or is there anything different about the soul that is different from ordinary people?"
He still felt that the assessment of this ship was aimed at the soul, but the intensity of erosion imposed on monks with different cultivation levels was different.
"Returning to the seniors, the juniors do have some spiritual talents, and their natural soul power should be stronger."
Zhao Mengru answered truthfully and seemed very obedient.
Chen Lin's eyes flashed, and it seemed that even if his guess was not correct, it was still close to 10% accurate.
Thinking of this, he communicated with several other monks with different cultivation levels, and felt more and more that his idea was good.
After all, in the world of cultivation, black generally represents the soul, or magic power, and there are very few demon cultivators in this world, so most of those who choose the black light door to come in are those who have certain specialties in the soul.
"Senior, can this junior follow you? If this junior can go back alive, he will never forget your kindness, and my grandfather will reward you!"
Zhao Mengru's voice sounded in Chen Lin's ears, with a pleading tone.
Chen Lin glanced at the other party and said in surprise: "There are so many people, why do you choose me?"
The other party doesn't even have spiritual consciousness, so it's impossible to see his true cultivation level. He also came from the Qi training period, and knows that as long as his cultivation level exceeds the golden elixir, in the eyes of Qi training monks, they are all very powerful.
"Because I feel very kind to my seniors!"
Zhao Mengru answered immediately.
Chen Lin was speechless. What the other party said was so hypocritical. She probably had already found a lot of people and no one paid attention to her.
He waved his hand to refuse, but he paused for a moment, then took it back and said, "Okay, then follow me!"
Zhao Mengru was stunned for a moment, thinking that he heard wrongly, and quickly confirmed: "Senior, did you agree?"
"Um."
Chen Lindan responded calmly.
Zhao Mengru couldn't believe it. She had really made requests to everyone who asked her, but they were all rejected ruthlessly.
Originally, I just asked the person in front of me casually, but I didn’t expect that the other person actually agreed!
"Why, have you regretted it again? That's okay, I'll just pretend you didn't say it."
Seeing that the other party was in a daze, Chen Lin sent a message.
Zhao Mengru waved his hands hurriedly, forgetting to even transmit the message, and said directly: "I don't regret it, thank you senior for taking me in, from now on I will be senior's person!"
Her voice was so loud that everyone on the boat could hear it. It immediately attracted countless gazes, and some people looked at the snake-shaped woman on the bow of the boat.
Zhao Mengru also noticed the situation and immediately looked panicked. He looked towards the bow of the ship and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the snake-body woman had no reaction.
But immediately, there was another scream, and an old man in the middle stage of Nascent Soul flew up and was involved in the black mist.
Everyone's faces suddenly became ugly.
Three people in a row were swept away, and there was no chance anymore. The big ship kept sailing with no intention of stopping. If this continues, there may not be many, or even none, people on the ship who can survive.
!
But the situation did not change according to everyone's will. In less than a quarter of an hour, five more monks were swept away one after another, including even a Void Refining monk!
The remaining monks also discovered that the black mist had become much thicker, and its corrosiveness to the soul had also doubled.
Chen Lin was worried that Xiaocao couldn't bear it, so he immediately used their telepathy to ask. After receiving a no problem response from the other party, he felt relieved.
The space bag itself has the function of isolating external energy, and Xiaocao has a special existence and does not have a soul in the true sense, so the erosion should not be too serious.
There was no need to worry about Xiaocao, so Chen Lin focused on the snake-bodied woman.
The same goes for other monks.
The only weird thing on this ship is this thing. The monks on the ship were swept away, so naturally it can only be the fault of the other party.
In this case, instead of passively waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative!
