Chapter 1118: Chapter 463: Bone Ship Monster
This colossal warship before my eyes stands nearly several meters high, and its length exceeds a hundred meters.
The entire structure appears as if engulfed in the skeletal remains of some creature, and the ship’s bow resembles the skull of a certain fish species.
Beneath this enormous warship, some eerie small boats made of bones patrol around, seemingly guarding its sides.
Liang Yuan’s speedboat halts from afar. Compared to this massive skeletal warship, Yangshan’s speedboat appears rather small.
Ah Long’s face is solemn, "Why is there such a large ship?"
Bai Zhirui couldn’t help but exclaim, "The design of this ship is so bizarre!"
Liang Yuan also slightly frowns, speaking gravely, "Indeed bizarre. We’re no more than fifty kilometers from Yangshan. How could there be such a large ship?"
"Mr. Liang, should I go and take a look?" Ah Long immediately asks.
Liang Yuan thinks for a moment, slightly shakes his head, and says, "I’ll go and take a look; you wait for me here."
He doesn’t wish for unnecessary complications, finding that virologist Jiang Ziyin is of utmost importance.
However, with such a bizarrely designed large ship appearing just around fifty kilometers from Yangshan, he naturally can’t be careless.
And with a flicker, his figure rises into the air, swiftly flying towards the skeletal ship.
Whoosh——!
In an instant, he approaches the skeletal ship rapidly.
The patrolling small boats around the skeletal ship did not detect his presence, with Liang Yuan’s figure hidden among the protruding bones of the ship.
First, he glances at those small boats below.
Upon closer inspection, Liang Yuan discovers that these small boats seem not to be boats at all, but actual skeletons of mutated creatures.
The bizarre thing is, though they remain only as skeletons, they wander in the water as if they are still alive.
"What on earth is going on?"
Liang Yuan feels a bit shocked in his heart, leaping up directly onto this strange ship.
The deck of this ship does not have the tight defenses Liang Yuan imagined.
In fact, on the deck, Liang Yuan does not see anyone, instead, there lie numerous skeletal remains on the ground, their time of death unknown.
Liang Yuan is amazed inside: "Is there really no one on this ship?"
Feeling odd within, Liang Yuan quickly makes his way inside the ship.
Just a few steps in, suddenly a voice rings out.
"Don’t, don’t go in!"
Liang Yuan’s steps immediately halt, heart tightening, he looks back at the overtime work.
With a sweep of his gaze, besides the skeletons on the ground, he finds nothing else.
"Who is it?"
"Don’t go in, leave quickly."
That voice rings again, and Liang Yuan instantly captures the source of the sound!
His gaze, almost involuntarily, turns towards the large mast on the deck.
The strange voice actually comes from this mast.
Curious, Liang Yuan quickly approaches the mast.
This mast is estimated to have a diameter over a meter, tied with ropes like things.
But upon careful inspection, these ropes resemble snakes, exuding some kind of secretion, unlike ordinary ropes.
Liang Yuan’s spiritual power quickly scans over these ropes, and his expression changes drastically!
Reaching out, he grabs a bone saber appearing in his hand.
The next moment, he slashes down with fierce force from top to bottom.
Phup!
In an instant, the ’ropes’ break into pieces.
Simultaneously, a large amount of fresh blood splashes out from the broken ropes.
"Hiss——!"
A startling sucking sound comes, the ropes coiled around the mast suddenly unravel.
In a flash, numerous strange snakes protrude their heads, baring fangs as they swiftly wrap themselves around Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan rapidly retreats, both hands fiercely slamming towards the mast!
Boom!
With superpower deployed, countless chill surges wildly in all directions.
The snakeheads shooting in are all frozen into ice sculptures.
At the same time, Liang Yuan looks towards the mast.
To see that the mast has inexplicably shrunk, surrounded by snakeheads, and at the sunken spaces inside, there are countless not yet entirely decayed corpses!
At the outermost edge of the corpses, there is a skeletal thin man, staring at Liang Yuan with a face full of pleading.
"Help... save me..."
Liang Yuan leaps backward, tossing an Ice Star Chain which blasts out instantly.
Bang!
The chain shoots through the corpses, then suddenly wraps firmly around the skeletal thin man, yanking hard!
Crackling!
An explosion of ice fragments fills the air, as countless snakeheads crazily swarm over, entangling the Ice Star Chain, struggling against Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan sneers coldly, about to unleash immense power.
Yet at this moment, the entire deck suddenly quakes violently.
Following closely, this bony deck seems to come alive, snapping open a massive mouth.
Razor-sharp teeth sticking out, Liang Yuan almost falls as the ground gives way beneath his feet.
In the nick of time, he treads on his Spiritual Telekinesis to swiftly rise into the air.
However, at this moment, from inside the ship’s belly, a giant bone spear launches explosively.
The whole ship, seemingly doing its utmost to seize Liang Yuan.
Sails, masts, ship sides, bone anchors, everything madly attacks Liang Yuan!
Liang Yuan’s scalp tingles, feeling as if this ship is a living creature!
His form constantly ascends, igniting a Fire Wheel underfoot, with Qi Burst light erupting from his palms.
Boom!
His speed suddenly skyrockets!
The air is torn apart, creating airwaves, and like an afterimage, he swiftly streaks across the sky, flying out a hundred meters in an instant!
At the same time, however, he did not abandon his Ice Star Chain.
As he flew quickly, the Ice Star Chain stretched taut.
A figure resembling dried bones was pulled out from the ship by the Ice Star Chain!
"Roar——!"
A thunderous roar erupted from that bone ship.
Liang Yuan turned around to look.
He saw the bone ship was now towering upright, the skeletal fish head at the bow was aimed at him, letting out a terrifying roar.
All the items on it—masts, ropes, bone anchors—were like living things, wildly roaring at him.
Liang Yuan was struck with a jolt of disbelief, almost sure at this point that this was no ordinary ship!
It was clearly some kind of mutated monster!
"What the hell is this thing!"
He couldn’t help but curse, pulling further away, swiftly flying several hundred meters out.
Rumble!
The ship-like monster slammed into the water violently, causing a thunderous noise, raising massive waves.
The smashing waves roared, water surged.
The skeletal head at the bow creaked loudly, with its fish head-like prow glowing red, resembling eyes that were fixated on Liang Yuan.
Finally, amidst the roaring waves, the whole ship submerged underwater, swiftly vanishing without a trace!
Liang Yuan hovered mid-air, heart pounding as he watched the scene, even having broken through to a Genetic Species, he couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.
"What on earth is this monster, have the monsters underwater evolved to such a terrifying extent now?"
His heart thudded, instinct telling him that if he hadn’t left quickly just now, being swallowed by the monster would have been extremely troublesome.
Liang Yuan then turned to look at his Ice Star Chain.
At the end of the chain, he saw the man who had warned him earlier.
To Liang Yuan’s shock and anger, only the man’s upper body was pulled out.
His lower body had disappeared without a trace.
Strangely, there was no blood at the fractured lower body, instead, it looked somewhat decayed as if it had been soaked.
Liang Yuan immediately activated the superpower within his body, ice attribute energy spread over, quickly freezing the rotting part of the man’s lower body.
He simultaneously pulled him into mid-air.
"What was that ship just now?"
Liang Yuan quickly asked the man who was almost taking his last breath.
The man, almost void of breath and with eyes turning white, appeared to be on the verge of dying.
His lips moved, but Liang Yuan couldn’t hear what he was saying.
Without delay, he grabbed the man and flashed to a speedboat swiftly.
Tu Long and Bai Zhirui had already witnessed the earlier scene, now snapping out of their shock.
Tu Long eagerly asked, "Mr. Liang, what was that thing just now?"
Liang Yuan didn’t have time to answer, quickly telling Bai Zhirui, "Save him first."
Bai Zhirui didn’t dare to delay, quickly taking out a vial of serum and feeding it to the skeletal man.
Shortly after the man drank it, his pale face began to show a tint of rosiness.
Bai Zhirui urgently said, "This is a life serum from the medical department, it can trigger life potential, but in his condition, once it is triggered, he might not make it."
Liang Yuan frowned, knowing that if such a strong medicine wasn’t used now, this man might die anyway.
Before he could speak, the man suddenly said hoarsely, "No, it’s alright, I know my own condition, I, I won’t live much longer."
Liang Yuan quickly asked, "What happened? What was with that ship just now?"
Upon hearing Liang Yuan mention the ship, the man’s face immediately showed terror.
He tightly grabbed Liang Yuan’s hand, "No, that wasn’t a ship, it, it was alive!"
"Don’t go, Ah Long, they’re all dead, all dead."
"Don’t go near it!"
"That’s a monster!"
"Monster!"
...
The man muttered, his eyes gradually losing their light, then his grip loosened, and just like that, he died!
Tu Long beside Liang Yuan couldn’t help but shout, "Wake up! Wake up! Speak clearer!"
But no matter how Tu Long shouted, the man could no longer open his mouth.
Liang Yuan said solemnly, "Stop shouting, he’s already dead."
Tu Long sighed, "That vial of serum wasn’t cheap, yet he said nothing and just died."
Liang Yuan was speechless, but still spoke, "The serum will be on my tab, Nai Bai, report it to the medical department for reimbursement when we return."
Bai Zhirui immediately broke into a smile, nodding promptly, "Thank you, Mr. Liang."
Liang Yuan paid no heed, rummaging through the man’s belongings, finding nothing of value.
He could only toss the man’s body into the water.
Gazing at the endless water surface and the occasional buildings floating on it, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but have a heavy expression.
"Humans struggle for survival on the water’s surface, while the monsters underwater have already evolved countless times."
"There used to be only mutant fish, mutant frogs, then giant octopus monsters appeared, and now they’ve evolved into bizarre creatures without names."
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but feel anxious, increasingly sensing his own lack of power.
Even though now, he’s widened the gap with the people of Yangshan, he knows he’s still not strong enough!
Compared to the monsters in the sea, he’s still far lacking!
"Mr. Liang, with this monster appearing near Yangshan, would it pose a threat to everyone?" Tu Long couldn’t help but ask.
Liang Yuan shook his head, "It’s probably just passing through, such a giant mutant beast couldn’t possibly reside in shallow waters long-term, its size isn’t suitable for staying in these depths."
Upon hearing this, Tu Long let out a breath of relief, "That’s good, that’s good."
"Let’s go, head to the urban area quickly."
"Understood."
Tu Long immediately replaced an energy stone in the speedboat, starting it anew.
Instantly, the roar of the engine sounded, a white wake marked the water’s surface, and the speedboat rapidly disappeared along the shoreline.
