LDP S3: The Jewel of the Underworld

Ch. 34 — Monsters.

The days of Heilong on this ship were very boring. For there was no sight he could see but boundless darkness.

The thousands of dead stars that dominated this Underworld made Heilong lose interest in lingering on the deck of the ship.

Until Heilong finally saw a star that would be extinguished in the distance The star seems to be turned into a dead star if the light continues to dim.

Curious why there could be this many dead stars in the Underworld, Heilong immediately climbed onto the bridge of the ship and intended to borrow binoculars belonging to the captain of the ship.

As usual, the Captain of the Ship is currently standing inside the bridge while holding a beloved binoculars and seeing the route of the trip that will be passed by this ship. He does have to do this at all times in order to determine the safest route of travel.

“In front of us there is a star that will turn into a dead star. Quickly lower the speed.” exclaimed Ship Captain looks panicked.

Usually a star that will turn into a dead star will produce an out-of-control burst of cosmic energy due to the destruction of the core of the planet at the center of that star. And, this was greatly feared by all the Ship Captains as it could destroy their ships with just a single strike.

“Ready, Captain!”

One of the crew members who today happened to be in charge of holding the steering wheel, directly pulled the dark Qi brake lever that was on the left side.

The flying ship used by the Demon Nation naturally used the Dark Qi as a fuel source because only that energy was so abundant in the Underworld and would never run out except the Origin Tree Darkness destroyed.

With the pull of the brake lever of the Dark Qi, the speed of the flying ship began to gradually slow down until it reached the limit desired by the ship's captain.

The ship's captain then took control of the steering wheel and turned the direction of the ship's speed to the right away from the dim star while continuing to observe the circumstances around using his favorite binoculars.

 

“Wire!” The look on the face of the Ship Captain suddenly changed as he saw something in the distance. “It was only recently that my ship survived the danger of a dead star, but now a much more terrible danger is coming closer.”

The captain of the ship regretted why he did not turn his binoculars first to the right. If he had previously seen any danger on the right side then he would have deflected his ship towards the left. However, there was no point in regretting this time because he also did not have time to change the direction of the ship.

“What happened?” Heilong who had just entered the ship's bridge, coincidentally heard the Ship Captain's words and immediately approached him.

“See 'be yourself.”

The captain borrowed the beloved binoculars from Heilong because he had to focus his mind on controlling the rudder of the ship and did not have much time to chat.

With the help of the ship's captain's binoculars, Heilong saw a giant fish that was pitch-black heading towards this ship ferociously.

The size of the giant fish was even ten times larger than this ship and it seemed that the giant fish saw this ship as its food.

Such powerful energy waves continued to hit this ship like raging ocean waves. This is the energy emitted by the giant fish and aims to weaken its prey before it preys on it.

Heilong actually wanted to ask the ship's captain about the monster he had just seen. However, he deliberately restrained himself for fear that it would arouse suspicion. After all, soon there will be a Devil who tells him the identity of the monster who blocked this ship.

Under the control of the skilful Ship Captain, the ship was able to accelerate steadily even though such a powerful surge of energy had almost overturned the ship.

From this part of the ship's bridge, Heilong can also see what the crew is doing on the deck.

All the crew members are currently preparing all the cannons that this ship has to attack the giant fish.

Dozens of explosives that had a very powerful explosive power began to be inserted into each cannon by the crew.

It seemed that these crew members had received orders from the Ship Captain to attack the fish monster rather than just silently waiting for death.

Boom ...

One by one the cannons on this ship began to fire their bullets and attack the giant fish monster mercilessly.

The sound of such a powerful explosion was inevitable again and shook this region to a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Currently the place where the existence of the giant fish monster was still covered by a very thick smog due to the explosion that occurred many times.

“We succeeded!”

All the crew cheered cheerfully as they saw all the bullets released by the ship's cannon hitting the fish monster in a landslide.

All along, none of the monsters had survived after receiving the attacks from all the cannons present on this ship. So, it was very natural that they had all celebrated victory before seeing the corpse of the fish monster.

However, Heilong had a different premonition. Because, he could feel a fairly strong life aura from where the fish monster was last seen.

The smoke fog that covered the place where the giant fish monster had finally disappeared and revealed the figure of a giant fish monster that was burning with anger and filled with many wounds.

The giant fish monster stared ferociously at the ship while revealing its extremely sharp teeth. It is as if hinting that this tooth is the source of all of your deaths.

Suah ... Suah ...

Gusts of strong wind accompanied by bursts of quite strong Demon Qi one by one came out from inside the ship and lined up neatly in front of the bow of the ship.

The palace soldiers that Demon King Zhao had ordered to protect Heilong's journey finally started moving after sensing the extremely powerful killing intent of the fish monster.

At first they all didn't want to move because they were too lazy to protect a useless Prince like Heilong. However, if this giant fish monster destroys the ship, then their lives will also be threatened.

Plus if news of those unwilling to protect the Prince while in danger reached the ears of Demon King Zhao, then all of them would definitely be sentenced to death.
