Chapter 6: Deep Sea Phobia

When night fell, Lily, drunk, took Gu Yun and An Ling on a journey to the world of the dead.

There are traces to overlap between two different worlds. At a specific point in time, the door between the living world and the dead world will be temporarily opened.

However, the way the three of them went to sea once again broke An Ling's beautiful fantasy.

When she thought of the legend of the ghost ship and the sea of ​​death, she imagined a large cruise ship similar to the Titanic, with exquisite food and rich people singing and dancing. In the bustling atmosphere, the cruise ship slowly drove into a fog...

Unfortunately, Lily only found a small wooden boat for them.

Seeing that the small wooden boat seemed to have patched it in the front part, an unknown premonition suddenly surged into my heart.

An Ling never expected that even her way of going to sea seemed to have returned to centuries ago - no, in the era of sailing centuries ago, there were a much more luxurious ship than this. Standing at the port under the night sky and feeling the sea breeze that kept blowing on her face, she felt that taking this ship to the sea of ​​death should be similar to the danger of Luffy drilling into a barrel to go out to sea.

I'm afraid only One Piece can deal with this danger in this world.

She will never have the chance to be the Shanghai Pirate King in her life, but...

An Ling secretly glanced at Gu Yun with a normal face. The facts once again proved that the real strong man was fearless. She had no doubt that if Lily asked this guy to swim to the sea of ​​death, the latter would be able to plunge into the water without saying a word.

This is simply the demeanor of the contemporary One Piece!

"Sorry."

Lily floated on the sea with drunkenness on her face to the sky and earth. After entering the water, she recovered her tail. "I originally wanted to ask everyone who borrowed a fishing boat, but when she heard that you were going to the sea of ​​death, everyone immediately rejected me. This boat was lent to me by the kind-hearted tavern owner."

The small wooden boat broke a hole in the previous voyage and almost sank halfway. After returning to the port for a lifetime, the tavern owner patched the hole and then kept docking it near the port and never used it again.

She can't make much money by singing in a tavern, and she has the ideal of saving money to go to W City, so she naturally cannot pay for the two of them to rent a large sailboat.

Miss Death didn't give her much reward either.

“No big problem.”

Gu Yun boarded the boat, stood at the bow of the boat with his chest wrapped around his arms, and the sea breeze raised his windbreaker. Although the wooden boat was extremely simple, it could not cover up his demeanor at all. "As long as you can reach the sea of ​​death, it's enough."

He personally does not have very high requirements for vehicles.

If he had sailed by himself, a piece of wood would be enough to allow him to float all the way to the other end of the ocean.

"It's worthy of being the brave man who decided to go to the Sea of ​​Death!"

Lily praised Gu Yun in admiration. Seeing that Gu Yun was not even carrying weapons, this person must have absolute confidence in his abilities - you should know that even the most powerful warriors of their clan had to fully arm themselves before heading to the sea of ​​death.

Under night, a wooden boat was sailing at sea level at a speed that was much faster than Anling expected.

All-powerful mental power!

In Gu Yun's words, mental power can not only be used for combat, but can even play the role of a nitrogen-pushing device. The only disadvantage is that under the push of mental power, the boat makes squeaking from time to time. This sound makes An Ling frightened. She feels that the durability of the ship may be decreasing at an astonishing speed and may collapse into a pile of driftwood at any time.

Not sure how long it took to drive on sea level, Lily, who was leading them in front of her, suddenly stopped.

Even under the cover of night, Gu Yun could see the very obvious fog ahead.

"I can only send you here."

Lily said, "The junction between the world of the living and the world of the dead is in this fog, but you must be careful. Once you break into this fog, you are likely to encounter the dead spirits who have traveled here from the world of the dead."

She is not good at fighting and cannot walk with Gu Yun.

"Understood."

Gu Yun nodded, "Thank you."

Under Lily's gaze, the boat moved again and soon disappeared into the depths of the fog.

After the outline of the wooden boat could no longer be seen, Lily said goodbye to the two in the language of a siren. Although Gu Yun had extraordinary courage, no creatures that had stepped into this sea area in the past could come back.

At this moment, she sincerely hoped that Gu Yun could become the first brave man to break the tradition like Sister Sasha.

After the wooden boat entered the fog, Anling could only hear the sound of waves rolling.

Although she sat upright, she had never been as afraid as she was now. One of the major disadvantages of a simple wooden boat is that the sea water is very close at the edge of the boat, and you can touch the sea water with just reaching out.

I don’t know if it was the effect of night and fog, but she always felt that the sea water became pitch black, like ink.

Coupled with the vibrations that came from time to time, she always suspected that there might be an unimaginable behemoth under the bottom of the ship now.

Thinking of this, An Ling couldn't help but tremble again and asked, "Gu Yun, have you ever heard of deep-sea phobia?"

“What phobia?”

"Deep-sea phobia! It's the kind of picture of giant sea monsters under the seemingly calm sea level!"

As a game home, Anling has some knowledge in all aspects. She thinks she is actually quite brave. When she saw photos of deep-sea phobia in the past, she felt a little disgusted at most, but the environment at this moment reminded her of the contents in the pictures.

The feeling of being there is completely different from when you look at pictures!

She urgently needs some psychological comfort from Gu Yun, such as saying that sea monsters are actually rumors and do not actually exist.

Gu Yun is the most professional spirit-eliminating master. If he says that the sea monster does not exist, it will definitely not exist.

"You said there are sea monsters underground in the boat?"

Gu Yun felt it for a moment and then said, "Don't worry, the sea monster can't threaten us for the time being."

...

Wait, what does it mean to "not threaten us for the time being"?

An Ling felt that she was about to get angry - wasn't this telling her in disguise that the sea monster really exists!

"The creature closest to us is wandering underwater about 800 meters away, and is not a particularly huge creature."

Anling asked tentatively, "...It's not particularly huge, what does it mean?"

"It's only ten meters long."

Gu Yun was surprisingly calm.

Isn’t it normal to have sea monsters in the sea? In fact, if there is not even a sea monster in the sea called the Sea of ​​Death, then he really looks down on this place from the bottom of his heart.

However, immediately afterwards, the perceived sea monster suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, a powerful energy fluctuation appeared under the bottom of the ship.

"It seems that other sea monsters are coming."

Strangely, Gu Yun only noticed unusual energy fluctuations this time, but could not sense any signs of the existence of any living creature.

"I, I, I... saw it!"

Anling stood up directly, pointing at the sea level that suddenly calmed down, and stuttering, "It's there!"

For a moment, she saw an eye.

To be precise, it was a huge eye that almost occupied most of the sea in her sight, and it was hard for her to even imagine the specific size of this monster.

At the same time, objects below sea level responded.

"I smelled the breath of the living."

The huge body that rushed out of the sea level strangely passed through the boat board, and the mist shrouded in the sea of ​​death dissipated at some point. What appeared in the sight of the two of them was a giant species with almost reaching the sky above their heads, and their bodies were covered with black scales.

And this is just the part where it drills out of the horizontal plane.

When the sea monster bent down, An Ling suddenly felt as if the whole sky was pressing towards them.

More than a dozen eyes, plus barbed fangs, scared her hands and feet and closed her eyes directly.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

At the same time, a group of interns with different dresses gathered on the shore.

For the trainees, today is a special day - the Chunin Exam...ah, no, I got it wrong, it should be the Death Apprentice Qualification Exam!

As long as they pass this exam, they can be sent to the world of rebirth and go to the first-class death men for internships. Those who can be selected to take this exam every year will inevitably be the best among the death apprentices.

However, all of these top students had a serious face.

They know what is hidden deep in this sea area.

The forbidden zone in the world of the dead is also the closest sea area to the world of the living, and the content of the assessment is the same every year - survive for seven days on the edge of this dangerous sea area.

These seven days are not only an assessment of their combat skills, but also a series of qualities such as their adaptability and teamwork skills.

Given the recent turmoil in the world of living, senior management has once again increased the difficulty of assessment.

It is said that in the past decade, several first-class gods of death have died at the hands of others.

"The only criterion is that no one is allowed to step through the safety line."

The tutor solemnly reminded the apprentices that it was not the mentors who drew the safety line for them, but the fog that was spreading deep in the dangerous areas.

They have only heard of the legends in the depths of the fog, but no one has ever witnessed the scene at the other end of the fog with his own eyes.

"teacher……"

Before the exam officially began, one of the apprentices came to the instructor and asked quietly, "What's on the other end of the safety line?"

A brutal sea monster?

A terrifying necromancer?

Or is it a ghost fleet?

As young men among the necromancers, they heard many weird legends on the other side of the safety line, but never received a formal and affirmative answer.

"Don't ask unnecessary answers, even if you can become a top-notch death one day, you don't need to know what's on the other side of the safety line."

The teacher responded firmly. With his years of experience, there will always be some apprentices who can't help but curiosity. Telling these people about the other end of the safety line is tantamount to giving them a reason to take risks.

The ones that exist at the other end of the security line are neither sea monsters nor ghost fleets…

The instructor turned around and looked towards the end of the coast.

But...
