Chapter 95
Finally, under the violent storm, Xiao Tangqiu and Shen Yuan climbed onto the deck of the luxury cruise ship. As soon as their feet touched the ground, Xiao Tangqiu immediately looked back towards Tang Mianmian, fearing that Tang Mianmian might not be able to keep up with them.
But facts proved that Tang Mianmian was obviously stronger than before. His physical strength was already who knew how many times stronger than Xiao Tangqiu and only tremendously improved after following the Reincarnation Team through instances non-stop for over three months. Not only did he not lag behind, he also had energy to spare to help Fei You and Zhang Zuo deal with some of the drowned ghosts.
Soon, the others also climbed onto the cruise ship deck with the help of life-saving ropes. Even the coward who looked physically the weakest climbed up, dropping onto the floor out of breath and with a panicked expression.
Xiao Tangqiu looked around and saw that the only newbies who survived were Fei You, Zhang Zuo and the coward. Although he knew that the more difficult the dungeon, the lower the survival rate of the newbies, this kind of immediate mass death was unheard of… How perversely high was the difficulty of this instance?
Tang Mianmian draped himself on the railing on the deck to look down, sighed in relief, and grinned, “Those drowned ghosts can’t climb up. Hey! If you have the ability, please climb up! Come and get me! Come and get me!!”
Xiao Tangqiu was about to go over and take a look when he realized that Shen Yuan’s arm was still around his waist. He unwittingly looked up at Shen Yuan and happened to meet Shen Yuan’s eyes. The two pairs of eyes met and Shen Yuan expressionlessly released his arm.
An inexplicable feeling wavered in his mind and Xiao Tangqiu’s lips moved slightly as he was about to say something, but Shen Yuan turned and returned to his teammates.
Xiao Tangqiu silently watched Shen Yuan’s back, and finally walked towards Tang Mianmian.
The drowned ghosts hovered at the base of the cruise ship for a while, unwilling to let go of their rare prey, but the excessively high cruise ship deck restricted their movement. After hovering for a while, they reluctantly sank back into the sea one by one.
In a blink of an eye, all the drowned ghosts disappeared into the sea and the awfully violent storm also vanished at some point. The sea became calm again.
However, no one knew what dangers were hidden under the seemingly calm sea.
The sea under the black night was dark and deep, just like an abyss.
As Xiao Tangqiu was staring at the sea, the coward suddenly yelled, “People! Those people! Where did those people go?”
He looked back and saw that the lively and packed deck where the banquet was held was completely empty. Although the deck was still brightly lit and the table was full of exquisite food, not a single person was in sight. All of the men and women in gorgeous outfits they saw earlier were missing.
“How did those people vanish? Are they ghosts?” The coward was terrified all night and became hysterical.
Xiao Tangqiu approached the table and saw that the food on it looked very normal, neither moldy nor spoiled. The toasted bread looked fluffy and soft, as if it just came out of the oven. The roasted meat was still emitting heat and was obviously served recently… He stared at the food. He had been hungry all night. Actually, to be precise, his stomach that had been hungry for more than three months suddenly began to growl.
“These foods look like they just came out of the oven,” Tang Mianmian said as he swallowed. “Who knows where those people went. Such a waste of food&#k2026;”
The food still radiated heat, as if the gorgeously dressed men and women only left temporarily and would return at any moment&#k2026; But who knew if they actually would come back?
The coward had a deathly solemn expression, “Do you dare to eat these foods? Who knows what the foods are made of? Who knows what meat the barbecue is made of? Do you really dare to eat them?”
Tang Mianmian shrugged, “Why not? I happen to be hungry, so I will eat first!”
Xiao Tangqiu had been hungry for ages. Seeing Tang Mianmian pick up a roast chicken without hesitation, he also began to happily eat.
Everyone in the Reincarnation Team also started eating. Fei You and Zhang Zuo hesitated, but they were indeed hungry. After hesitating for a while, they also frantically began to eat.
The coward looked at them with wide eyes, going through a series of violent struggles in his heart. After a long time of mental gymnastics, he ultimately still didn’t dare to start.
After Xiao Tangqiu filled his stomach, he saw the coward curled up and hiding far away to resist the temptation of food. He could more or less understand the coward’s mentality. When he first entered the instances, he also did not dare to touch any of the food here… This kind of problem could only be overcome by yourself.
After everyone was full, they were ready to explore this luxurious cruise ship.
According to Yu Fuling’s scouting, this luxury cruise ship had ten floors, including the deck. With ten survivors left, they could be divided into five groups of two, each group exploring two floors.
The three newbies trembled when they heard that they were going to be in pairs. The more people the better it was for them, but they also knew that this cruise ship was too big. If everyone searched together, even If the troops were divided into two groups, it would waste a lot of time and was far less efficient than five groups. Also, two people in a group should be just enough to take care of each other.
“Okay, let’s start dividing up,” Duan Hongzhen crossed his arms over his chest. He naturally had no problem with being in a pair. He’d be completely fine even if he was by himself.
Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously looked at Tang Mianmian. If they were picking their own teams, they would definitely become a team. His gaze caught Tang Mianmian’s. Tang Mianmian winked at him, conveying the same thoughts.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Tang Mianmian opened his mouth and said, “Then I want to be with Qiu…”
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Yuan, who said lightly, “Let’s draw lots.”
Tang Mianmian silently swallowed his words, rubbed his nose, and said, “Mm, drawing is pretty fair.”
Xiao Tangqiu watched as Shen Yuan took out five chopsticks from the space tool, broke them one by one, and said coldly, “These ten sticks correspond in pairs, whoever draws the same length is a pair.”
He encased the sticks in his hands and let the others take turns to draw.
When it was Xiao Tangqiu’s turn, there were only two wooden sticks left in Shen Yuan’s hand. Shen Yuan glanced at him and he couldn’t help but hesitate.
By now, the results of the other’s draws were out. Once they compared the sticks one by one, they all found their teammates.
Tang Mianmian screamed, “Ahhhh, why am I with you?”
Duan Hongzhen snorted, “Do you think I want to be with you?”
Yu Fuling’s reaction was calm as she got Sai Lulu.
Xue Junli frowned. He was with that coward.
Fei You and Zhang Zuo breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They were still a team.
Xiao Tangqiu looked around and saw that everyone else had divided into groups. Only Shen Yuan and he were left… Wait, what?
Shen Yuan put away the remaining two sticks expressionlessly and coolly said to Xiao Tangqiu, “It looks like we are paired.”
Xiao Tangqiu, “…Looks like.”
Tang Mianmian was obviously very resistant to teaming up with Duan Hongzhen. He cried and asked, “Can I apply to change teammates?”
Shen Yuan was as cold as frost, “We must obey the draw result.”
Tang Mianmian flinched, and stepped back silently, “Okay! As the organization arranges!”
Shen Yuan glanced at Xiao Tangqiu and said lightly, “Our team will search the deck and the second floor, you guys search above.”
Once he gave the order, the others obeyed and began to search. In the blink of an eye, he and Xiao Tangqiu were the only two left on the deck.
Xiao Tangqiu hesitated, but couldn’t help but ask Shen Yuan, “What’s with the crossbow in your backpack…?”
Shen Yuan glanced at Xiao Tangqiu coldly, then took out the crossbow and threw it to Xiao Tangqiu without looking.
Xiao Tangqiu quickly reached out and caught the crossbow. He took a closer look and realized that this crossbow was actually quite different from his original crossbow. This crossbow was entirely silver and seemed to be made of a quite special metallic material… Actually, it looked like Shen Yuan’s silver gun.
Shen Yuan explained lightly, “This is made of the same material as my Demon Vanquishing Gun. It is indestructible. Even the devil can’t destroy it easily and it doesn’t need to be loaded. It has unlimited ammunition.”
Xiao Tangqiu had already loved this crossbow, and was shocked by Shen Yuan’s words, “Unlimited ammunition?”
“My Demon Vanquishing Gun is maintained by the demonic power in my body,” Shen Yuan said calmly. “Now this crossbow also has part of my power. As long as someone uses demonic energy to activate it, they can control the energy I left in it.”
Xiao Tangqiu asked incredulously, “I have… demonic energy in me?”
Shen Yuan didn’t answer directly, saying indifferently, “You’ll know after a try.”
Xiao Tangqiu hesitated, but still asked what he most wanted to ask, “Why did you… prepared this crossbow?”
Shen Yuan had already seen him “die” with his own eyes, so why did he prepare this crossbow?
Shen Yuan took a deep look at Xiao Tangqiu and fell into a long silence. Time passed bit by bit. Just when Xiao Tangqiu thought that Shen Yuan would not answer, Shen Yuan finally spoke.
His voice was deep and powerful, “Because I know… you will definitely come back.”
