Chapter 27 The Bronze Box
The moonlight reflects on the river, the breeze blows, sparkling.

The dark blue ship is speeding on the river, and the fluorescent light flowing between the runes is more eye-catching in the night.

At this time, in the bottom cargo hold, among the many messy goods, a bronze box full of patina was inscribed with strange patterns, and the patterns were intertwined, forming a vague grimace.

This patterned grimace has a wide mouth, as if there is a strange magic that will knock out the Devouring Soul of those who stare at it.

The bronze box shook slightly.

Pop, the box fell off the pile of goods and rolled around a few times and stood on the ground.

A puff of gray smoke floated out of the grimace's wide-open mouth.

A suffocating grimace of laughter rang out from the silent cargo hold.

“jié jié jié…”

“Soul…time…node…sacrifice, open…”

Unknown language, vague The words, as if striding across the world, came out from the bronze box.

Grey smoke swirled, invisible, through the hull, array Formation, constantly approaching the area where the passengers were.

Grey smoke got into a guest room, and the cultivator inside was unaware, still sitting on the ground carrying the true essence and absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. He circled around the cultivator and suddenly plunged into the cultivator's mind.

This cultivator is only True Essence Realm Great Perfection, which is two great realms away from the spiritual realm involving soul cultivation. Although his soul is much stronger than ordinary people, there is no essential difference.

Still weak and powerless, especially in the face of grey smoke, there's no resistance.

The cultivator's Devouring Soul was easily wiped out by the gray smoke. The cultivator's exterior looked unscathed, but only a body was left, which was completely dead.

Grey smoke came out of my mind, circled around, and then drilled down to the next room.

Whether it is a cultivator, a mortal, a passenger or a crew member, the gray smoke will not refuse anyone who comes, as long as it encounters it, it will devour its soul until it has swallowed more than 100 people. The gray smoke seems to have reached its limit and begins to drill into the cargo hold. go with.

The continuously rolling gray smoke kept appearing faces, all of whom were devouring Soul just now, with ferocious expressions, anger, pain, unwillingness, fear...

Full of evil negativity.

Grey smoke returned to the cargo hold and into the bronze box. The bronze box emitted a faint light, and some of the patterns on it seemed to come alive and twisted slightly.

"jié jié jié..."

There was another eerie laughter from the silent cargo hold.

 …

The next morning.

A piercing scream broke the blue sky's usual silence.

There was a knock on the door and a staff member came in.

"What's wrong?"

"Routine check!" After saying that, he hurried away, knocking on the next door.

Bai Donglin brows slightly wrinkle just finished the morning exercise, they have sailed on the Nu River for five days, and during these five days, there was no accident in calm and tranquil.

He just wanted to spend these 18 days safely and arrive at Bian Erqi Domain as soon as possible. He didn't want any unexpected twists and turns.

Unfortunately, it seems that backfired and something happened. Open the door, call Liu Dafu and Zi Xiaoling, and walk to the deck where the noise occurred.

At this time, the deck was already crowded with people, and staff in uniform were maintaining order. Bai Donglin saw that Captain Wang Lufei was also in the crowd.

It seems that a major event really happened, and even the captain was alarmed.

As the three approached, they heard the captain asking questions.

"Are these bodies found in District C? Who was the first to find the bodies?"

"Captain, ninety-three of them were found in District C. , and the remaining 24 bodies were found in District B3, which is next to District C. The first person to find the body was Zhang Ergou from the back kitchen. He woke up his roommate to prepare breakfast, but found that his roommate's body had already It's cold."

"We have checked the whole ship and found a total of 117 corpses. The cause of death is unknown!"

"It was okay last night. Did anyone hear any movement?"

"I have asked the tenants around the deceased, and they all said no, and even the roommates did not hear any movement, as if these people died of natural causes."

The captain heard the words coldly snorted. There were only 3,000 people on the whole ship. Can more than 100 people die naturally at the same time? The probability of food poisoning is also ruled out, and the concentration of the dead is clearly artificial.

As a cultivator of Divine Bridge Realm Great Perfection, he naturally has a lot of means.

Run the mind method and recite secret art silently.

"Eye of the Void! Open!"

With a light drink, the captain's pupils turned golden, and about one inch golden light appeared, facing a corpse from above Go down, observe carefully, and finally stare at the forehead of the corpse.

The captain stopped the secret art, his eyes returned to normal, but his face became more and more solemn.

The soul was swallowed thoroughly. After death, the soul dissipates between Heaven and Earth, and the True Spirit belongs to the mother river.

Even so, there will still be some Soul Aura left in the corpse, even soul fragments.

And these corpses are empty inside. This is definitely not a natural dissipation, but is attacked by means of targeting the soul.

Is it an expert on the Lingtai realm? Or are demons and ghosts at work? Or is it an evil cultivator with a weird secret technique?
No matter what the situation is, it is not optimistic. He can kill 117 people silently overnight, and his strength is definitely higher than him.

The captain paced back and forth, thinking about what to do, the Canglan still had thirteen days to reach the Silver Snake Pier, and it was too far away to count on the support of the pier.

You just have to do a few more preparations, don't be careless, there are many cultivators on board with a good background, if there is an accident, I'm afraid I won't be able to live!

Wang Lufei then ordered the left and right: "Keep all the dead bodies in the freezer. Disperse the crowd and tell the passengers to stay in their rooms."

"Order the crew to return to their respective posts. , do not discuss this matter."

"Yes!"

The left and right deputies led the way and retired.

The captain took out two more sound transmissions of talisman for Wanli, and sent in a request for help. The talisman spontaneously ignited, turning into two white lights, one south and one north, which were instantly disappeared.

After doing this, several guards Captains were called into the captain's room to discuss the night patrol carefully.

The three of Bai Donglin watched everything not far away, Liu Dafu had a solemn face, Bai Donglin was expressionless, and Zi Xiaoling was still eating sweet-scented osmanthus cakes heartless, her mouth bulging. Drumming, like a squirrel.

"Brother Liu, what do you think?" Bai Donglin asked him when he saw his serious expression.

"Brother Bai, there must be...cough cough, I mean we might be in trouble."

"To be on a boat with so many cultivators, quietly Killing so many people, some of whom I still know, are masters of the primordial fetus, but they die no different from ordinary people."

"Also, this kind of indiscriminate killing may It's not what a normal cultivator does!"

Bai Donglin expression moved, as if thinking of something.

"You mean..."

"Yeah, it's a lot like demons and ghosts, probably the most troublesome."

Liu Dafu's eyes slightly narrowed, as if thinking of some unpleasant experience.

Although Bai Donglin didn't have many contacts with demons and ghosts, he knew a truth. Everything has a cause and an effect, but demons and ghosts are not included in this list. The purpose of their existence is only to kill and destroy.

This kind of indiscriminate killing, and in such a bizarre way, is indeed the style of demons and ghosts.

Unscrupulous, powerful, bizarre attack, full of hatred for any life.

If you didn't guess wrong, then everyone on the Canglan has indeed encountered a lot of trouble, and accidentally will die!
"Brother Bai, from today onwards, the three of us will live in one room? We should take care of each other."

Liu Dafu asked a little sorry. It was much safer for him to stay together, not only himself, but he was also afraid that he would not be able to protect Zi Xiaoling well.

"That's fine."

Bai Donglin nods and agrees, of course he's not afraid of death, but he's been with Liu Dafu for so long, and he still has a little affection for helping him. is no effort at all.

Whether Zi Xiaoling would care.

After all, this is a special period, and my generation of cultivators should be informal.

"Mmm~ the sweet-scented osmanthus cake is really fragrant! It's delicious!"
