I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 98: Trapped in a Sinister Realm

The Battle Hall’s fast ship slowly approached the Deceitful Ship lying across the center of the river.

Gao Sheng stood at the bow, his expression extremely solemn.

The reflection of the Deceitful Ship in his pupils grew larger and larger, occupying his entire view.

The Vice Hall Master of the Battle Hall suddenly raised his right hand and shouted in a deep voice, "Set fire!"

As soon as his words fell, ten Battle Hall Warriors simultaneously took down large bamboo tubes strapped to their backs.

They sprayed Volatile Oil toward the Deceitful Ship, which was already within reach.

The Battle Hall Warriors were exceedingly skilled in their technique, and the sprayed Volatile Oil fell evenly upon the shell, deck, and even sails of the Deceitful Ship.

After spraying the Volatile Oil, one warrior drew a bow and aimed at the Deceitful Ship.

Another used a Fire Stick to ignite the arrowhead wrapped in oil cloth.

Whoosh!

The rocket was shot above the Deceitful Ship and immediately ignited the Volatile Oil that had just been sprayed on.

Boom!

Scorching flames soared into the sky.

The people on the merchant and fishing boats docked near the shores upstream and downstream cheered loudly upon witnessing the scene!

They were extremely frightened by the Deceitful Ship and dared not approach it.

Now with the Furious Whale Gang stepping in to resolve the issue, everyone was very happy, hoping fervently that the eerie object would be burned cleanly with a single fire!

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The fire on the Deceitful Ship initially burned fiercely.

But only for a short while did the Volatile Oil run out, and the flames suddenly weakened.

Even before the cheers from the merchant and fishing ships had faded, the fire on the Deceitful Ship suddenly extinguished completely.

The situation was extremely awkward!

Even more embarrassing was the fact that the Deceitful Ship, despite just undergoing a fiery ordeal, showed no signs of damage.

It remained as it was before!

Gao Sheng’s face darkened like charcoal.

In fact, the occurrence of such a situation was completely reasonable.

If the Deceitful Ship were so easily resolved, it would not be feared and would not give rise to countless bizarre and terrifying tales.

But the troublesome level of this Deceitful Ship clearly threw Gao Sheng for a loop.

He felt incredibly vexed!

"Hawk!"

The Vice Hall Master of the Battle Hall pondered briefly and then extended his right hand.

A Battle Hall Warrior immediately raised a birdcage containing a Hawk, another warrior presented paper and ink.

Gao Sheng quickly penned a secret letter and slipped it into the bamboo tube carried by the Hawk.

Then, he released it. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

He ordered, "Dock and wait!"

Gao Sheng was not a reckless or impulsive person; realizing the Deceitful Ship was extremely troublesome, he decisively reported to the Sub-Branch for help.

Rather than rashly venturing onto the ship.

"Careful!"

As soon as Gao Sheng’s words faded, before the sailors in charge of controlling the fast ship could react, a sudden incident occurred.

A Battle Hall Warrior suddenly widened his eyes and loudly warned!

Before them, the Deceitful Ship suddenly "came to life," aquatic lifeforms attached to the hull fell off, and every plank undulated like waves, simultaneously producing crackling sounds.

Under everyone’s shocked gazes, the hull above the waterline of the Deceitful Ship suddenly split open into a large gap.

Like a giant beast opening its bloody maw!

A powerful suction force emanated from the "beast’s mouth," instantly drawing the Battle Hall’s fast ship, along with its dozen crew members and a large amount of river water, into the body of the Deceitful Ship.

The next moment, the gap closed abruptly, and the Deceitful Ship returned to its original state.

The water surface became calm once more, as though nothing had ever happened!

But numbers of people witnessing the scene were in the hundreds, all of them were dumbstruck, and fear gripped every heart.

The merchant and fishing ships docked near the shores upstream and downstream erupted into chaos, cries and shouts rang one after another, and many ships frightened quickly set sail.

Everyone wanted to flee as far as possible, the farther away from the Deceitful Ship the better!

And just while chaos ensued outside.

Zhang Yuan, who was drawn into the Deceitful Ship, found that his troubles had only just begun.

He actually reacted very swiftly; upon realizing the danger, he immediately leapt into the water.

As long as he blessed himself with the Extraordinary Abilities endowed by the White Dragon Loach, the entire Celestial Horse River would be Zhang Yuan’s domain, and even if he couldn’t defeat the formidable weirdness, he could escape without issue.

But Zhang Yuan never dreamed that the power of the Deceitful Ship was so formidable.

He had no time to struggle or resist before he was "swallowed" by it, not even having a chance to activate the Host’s Power.

Zhang Yuan only felt darkness before him, unable to see anything.

It felt as if he were falling into an abyss, his body completely beyond his control.

Fortunately, the loss of control lasted only a moment.

Within a few breaths, Zhang Yuan felt his feet touch solid ground.

His vision was no longer pitch black.

It was then that he discovered he was inside a cabin.

Moreover, apart from Zhang Yuan himself, there wasn’t a single soul present!

The cabin had no lighting and appeared extremely gloomy, dim yellow light seeped through the seams between the panels intermittently, increasing the feeling of eeriness and oppression.

Surrounding Zhang Yuan were several large dust-covered boxes.

All the boxes were securely locked, yet the bright yellow lock heads were brand new, exuding a faint golden glow.

Zhang Yuan merely glanced at them dismissively.

For those short-sighted greedy folks, they might’ve thought they found treasure chests, impatiently wanting to open them.

But could something from the Deceitful Ship be anything good?

The answer was clearly no!

Clang!

Zhang Yuan drew out his blade, simultaneously activating the Host’s Power of the Black Giant Ant, Jade Mantis, and Golden Grasshopper.

Out of caution, he only fortified himself with double Strength and agility, conserving the consumption of Qi Blood as much as possible.

After preparing for battle, Zhang Yuan stepped out of the cabin.

Entering the corridor outside.

The hallway inside the Deceitful Ship was equally dim, with ink-green aquatic plants growing densely intertwined across the sides and below on the deck.

The air was thick with a pungent aquatic stench!

Left or right?

Zhang Yuan hesitated a moment and decided to seek an exit to the right.

Though in an extremely perilous situation, instinctive fear inevitably arose within him.

But Zhang Yuan relied on his own will, forcibly suppressing the fear of the unknown and mysterious, determined to carve a path with his Long Blade!

Even if he were to die, he would die fighting as a Samurai.

And not let the bizarre claim him in fear and tears like a coward!

Stepping on the thick aquatic plants beneath his feet, Zhang Yuan advanced step by step.

Meanwhile, he kept his ears open for any sounds around.

He believed that Gao Sheng and others were also inside the Deceitful Ship, only separated in different locations.

If they could find each other, having one more person meant one more source of strength.

But at this moment, Zhang Yuan hadn’t noticed the clusters of aquatic plants he tread on were silently growing upward behind him, intertwining with each other.

In just a few breaths, a grass figure with a complete head, body, and limbs took shape.

Two hollow black eyes stared at Zhang Yuan ahead, and the grass figure suddenly cracked a "smile."

Grinning exceedingly eerily!
