As he finished his sentence, everyone’s expressions changed!
Everyone presented could not be more familiar with the 30th parallel north.
It was a 30-degree parallel line connecting the four ancient civilizations.
Planes and the ships would disappear mysteriously at the Bermuda Triangle. The Egyptian pyramid remained standing until now. The disappearance of the Mayan civilization, the Yangtze River stopped flowing twice mysteriously…
All these were connected to the 30th parallel north!
“I’m not sure if the rumors about the 30th parallel north are true, but the ghost ship we’re on is indeed not on the Wu River!”
Shi Qianhan said slowly, “Aren’t you curious why the ghost ship has appeared in Wu River all these years? Even after the ghost ship returned, there was no news of its destination.”
“Mr. Shi is right!”
Master Yizhen nodded and said, “Logically speaking, the ghost ship can only travel on rivers, but we have never caught any news of it appearing on other rivers. In other words, the ghost ship mysteriously disappeared after it appeared, and it doesn’t exist in this world!”
Tang Yiming, who had been silent all this while, took a deep breath in and said word by word, “Does that mean… that we are no longer on Earth?”
Everyone fell silent again.
He even felt a little panicked…
If they and the ghost ship were no longer on Earth, then where were they? Where was the ghost ship going? Could it really be the legendary netherworld?
At the crucial moment, the western powerhouse, Thunder God Thor, said in all seriousness, “Everyone, we should not worry about this problem for now. The first task is how to survive on the ghost ship. After all, the ship will eventually reach its destination!”
“That’s right!”
Luo Tianya nodded his head slightly and said to everyone, “I suggest that everyone stop moving around and count the number of people around you. We’ll have a better plan to react to anything that might happen by then.”
Subsequently, he started to count the number of people on his side.
Everyone followed suit.
Very soon, Luo Tianya said, “Yiming and I have a total of 17 people!”
Xiao Yuanjing looked at Bruce, Bai Shaoyu, and the rest and said, “There are 23 of us here!”
Ye Chen sized up Master Yizhen, the old Celestial Master Zhang Wuming from Mount Longhu, Yuan Qitai, and the rest. He said, “There are seven of us!”
Shi Qianhan said, “Including me, we have a total of 48 people. Fortunately, we don’t have a lot of people. This room is big enough for us!”
At that moment, someone suddenly said, “There’s a staircase here!”
Everyone looked up and saw that there was a staircase on the left of the throne in the hall. The staircase was currently covered in dust, and it gave off traces of time.
Ye Chen said slowly, “I noticed earlier that there are four levels to the ghost ship. I believe this staircase leads to the second level. The second level also has stairs leading to the third level, so on and so forth!”
Liu Yunfeng, who was behind Luo Shuiyao, suddenly looked at Shi Qianhan and asked in confusion, “What’s above the second level?”
Everyone turned to look at Shi Qianhan. Among all the people present, only Shi Qianhan had stepped onto the ghost ship!
Shi Qianhan hesitated for a moment before saying, “What else could it be? Don’t tell me you guys still don’t know? This ship is a warship, and the decorations on the first floor are exactly the same as the military tent. As for the other floors, they are naturally the dining room, armory, and lounge.”
At this point, he added, “However, I suggest that everyone stay on the first floor. No one can guarantee that the black fog from before will not reach the other three levels.”
The moment he said that, someone stepped back and gave up the urge to follow the stairs.
However, Ye Chen took a good look at Shi Qianhan. Even though he tried his best to hide his emotions, Ye Chen still noticed him.
‘There’s something wrong with this guy!’
He shook his head silently.
“Everyone, sit down and rest. No one can guarantee that there won’t be any more danger!”
After Luo Tianya said that, he led Tang Yiming, Luo Shuiyao, Tong Shuhui, and the rest to the side. Xiao Yuanjing, Bai Shaoyu, and the rest were no exception.
At that moment, the entire hall fell silent again. The camp was divided into four sides. One side was led by Luo Tianya and Tang Yiming, one by Xiao Yuanjing and Bai Shaoyu while one by Ye Chen. Shi Qianhan was the only one on the remaining side.
Even though they did not fight because of the ghost ship, the atmosphere was still cold. They still had their guards up for each other.
At that moment, Luo Shuiyao walked to Ye Chen and said softly, “Be careful. It’s very likely that Xiao Yuanjing and the rest will attack you under such circumstances. Also, there’s something wrong with Shi Qianhan!”
Ye Chen nodded calmly.
At this moment, the entire hall darkened. All the lanterns were extinguished, and they suddenly fell into darkness.
“What happened?!”
“Why did the lantern go out?”
The sudden scene shocked everyone. Some of them stood up subconsciously, wanting to turn on the flashlight that they carried with them.
“Ah!”
However, right at this moment, an extremely shrill cry resounded from within the hall. The scream dragged on for a long time, causing one’s scalp to go numb.
“Who dares to attack?!”
In an instant, countless furious voices rang out.
At the next moment, two flashlight beams lit up the dark room, and the first thing that entered his eyes was a dead body on the floor.
It was a young man. His eyes were wide open, and the scariest thing was that he only had skin left. All his blood and flesh seemed to have been sucked out.
“Bastard!”
Upon seeing that, Bai Shaoyu looked at Ye Chen all of a sudden. His gaze was extremely grim, “Ye, how dare you kill a member of my Bai family?”
“Kill him!”
The Bai family members behind him glared at Ye Chen.
The atmosphere became tense!
Even Luo Shuiyao was stunned. She looked at Ye Chen suddenly and could not help but ask, “Ye Chen, did you really kill this person?”
Bai Shaoyu smirked coldly, “Is there a need to ask? Ye has always been at odds with us. He definitely killed Pengfei!”
Ye Chen’s eyes focused, “Would you believe me if I said I didn’t kill him?”
“Who else could it be, then?”
Bruce, the vampire marquis behind Bai Shaoyu, snickered arrogantly, “Among all the people present, you’re the only one who has a grudge against Young Master Bai. You must’ve killed the Bai family member while the lights were out!”
Xiao Yuanjing said in a deep voice, “Mad Southern Ye, are you going to fight us?”
“If I dare to do it, I’d dare to admit it. Even if I wanted to kill you guys, I wouldn’t do something as petty as a sneak attack!”
Ye Chen smiled coldly. The Almighty Killer Sword slowly landed in his hand with threatening sword intent, “Since you guys don’t believe what I say, let’s fight, then!”
“Wait!”
The two sides were about to fight.
Tong Shuhui, who had been silent, suddenly stopped him.
Bai Shaoyu said in a low voice, “Tong Shuhui, are you going to go against us?”
“No!”
Tong Shuhui’s face was frighteningly pale. Her lips quivered as she said, “I counted earlier and realized that there are still 48 people here!”
