Chapter 888 -888: Entering the Haunted House!
This situation was somewhat different from Huang Xiaolong’s previous analysis.
It turned out that the ancient wooden sailboats described by Cao Dabiao were not illusions designed to deceive the eye, but… real objects!
Huang Xiaolong’s eyes shone like electricity as he too saw the large ship described by Cao Dabiao. Indeed, it was magnificent—approximately 150 meters long, around 60 meters wide—a multi-storied ship from ancient Huaxia, with four levels, grand and imposing, akin to a piece of art! Tall masts and sails full of wind conveyed an intense, unbelievable shock!
Besides this huge wooden sailboat, which held the position equivalent to a modern navy’s flagship or main battle ship within the fleet, there were also about 50 to 60 smaller wooden sailboats with a similar design.
This was a fleet!
In addition, there were six other distinctly designed wooden sailboats, also large mast sailboats, with tattered flags.
“Master… those few…” Shirley White pointed to the six peculiarly shaped wooden sailboats and exclaimed in horror. “That’s the Spanish flag! The shield emblems on the ships belong to… belong to… the fleet of Columbus! My god, there are 15th century European cannons on those ships!”
After a pause, Shirley White’s voice trembled even more, “I remember now! I… I read a book before, a precious sole copy of a document. It said that during his last voyage, Columbus lost over 500 sailors and sank 6 ships in the Bermuda Devil’s Triangle. When he returned to Spain, he was immediately imprisoned by the queen. However, these details aren’t recorded in any history book… Could it be that these 6 wooden sailboats are… are indeed the fleet of Columbus… that sank in Bermuda…”
“Eh? Columbus’s fleet? How come there’s a Huaxia fleet and Columbus’s fleet, too complicated…” Huang Xiaolong was momentarily stunned, then looking over at the six wooden sailboats with large masts, he noticed their decks were teeming with dense, malicious ghosts.
From the appearance of these ghosts, they were definitely not from Huaxia. They wore a retro European and American sailor’s uniform, with blonde or brown hair, their faces covered in shredded flesh, bloodied and indistinct, eyes burst open, but one could vaguely see an expression of greed and resentment that was not of this world.
These ghosts were all emitting heart-wrenching screams, their resentful energy soaring to the skies, extremely terrifying.
On the wooden sailboats with a Huaxia style, stood numerous ghosts as well, but all dressed in ancient Huaxia attire, brandishing weapons, and howling sharply.
The cargo ship was almost surrounded, dozens of wooden sailboats rolled and crushed over.
Pu~~pu~~pu~~
Ghosts jumped into the sea one after another, like dumplings.
Then, ripples surged through the sea, and they swiftly swam towards Huang Xiaolong’s cargo ship.
The sea was dyed dirty with ghastly blood, the stench unbearable.
“Young master, let’s take out these annoying ghosts,” Qingqing and Xiaohong burst out with wild demonic energy, ready to reveal their true forms and fight to the death against the encircling ghosts.
“Heh~~” Huang Xiaolong chuckled, and without waiting for the approaching ghosts to get closer, his body radiated with golden light. A several-zhang tall golden body emerged behind him, and in that instant, Huang Xiaolong felt a sense of looking down upon all living beings, regarding them and the world itself as insignificant.
Standing beside Huang Xiaolong, Shirley White, Qingqing, Xiaohong, and even including Cao Dabiao, all felt an obscure pressure. Looking at Huang Xiaolong, they felt as though he was standing high in the sky, resembling a heavenly deity!
Boom~~~~!!!!
Golden characters spread out from Huang Xiaolong’s body as the center.
Each golden character was like thunder rolling through the void, solidifying into reality.
Boom~~! Boom~~!
Upon contact with the ghosts, the golden light and characters ignited, burning them without mercy, scattering their bloody substance and souls, instantly turning them to nothingness.
“Eh~~ With the young master so fierce, it seems we won’t have to make a move, heh~~” Qingqing awkwardly smiled.
Like a sun rising over the sea, the intense golden light flashed, rapidly wiping out the dense grudges and mist.
No matter if it was the swimming ghosts in the sea or the fierce ghosts filling the wooden sailing ships, they were all quickly eradicated by a sweep of golden light.
Huang Xiaolong dealt with these spectral ghosts with ease, effortlessly, not bothering with any reasoning at all.
Just at that moment…
Boom~~~ Boom~~~ Boom~~ Boom~~~
Suddenly, characters of extinction burst forth on the sea surface within this area, cold and terrifying. Between these characters, ghostly auras condensed into threads, connecting into a clear and distinct formation.
Within this formation, there was power of space entwined!
The next second, all the wooden sailing ships surrounding the cargo ship mysteriously vanished!
However, the ghostly formation did not disappear. Instead, its resentful energy grew stronger and stronger, and various ghostly entities—aflame ghosts, hanged ghosts, cat ghosts, water ghosts, bloody corpses, zombies—emerged out of nowhere on the sea, all ogling Huang Xiaolong as if looking at a delicious meal on a plate.
“Heh heh, just a mere ghostly formation trying to show off in front of me?” A mocking smile emerged on Huang Xiaolong’s face as he prepared to break through the formation in one fell swoop.
However—
Boom~~!!!!!!
A cluster of light appeared right in front of the cargo ship!
This was an extremely bright light, filled with a mysterious aura!
Yet, Huang Xiaolong deeply felt that within that light, was brimming with ghostly aura!
“Oh, my God! This light! This damned, terrible light!” Cao Dabiao’s face twisted as he screamed in a shrill voice, “That day… that day, after my cargo ship passed through this light… it disappeared… my crew members, they disappeared too… Ah~~!”
The cluster of light emitted a terror comparable to a black hole, dragging the huge cargo ship forcefully towards it.
A thought suddenly struck Huang Xiaolong, but he could only laugh. “Hmm~~ Pass through this light and I’ll get to that island… and find that black knife, not bad, hahaha~~~ Everything is going smoothly! Hahaha!”
While speaking, Huang Xiaolong took out several talismans from his canvas bag and handed them to Shirley, Qingqing, Xiaohong, and Cao Dabiao, “Stick these talismans on yourselves, and we won’t get lost.”
Next, Huang Xiaolong took out another talisman and slapped it fiercely onto the deck.
Boom~~~~!!!!!!
Golden light burst forth, and the cargo ship stood still amidst the ocean, immovable. Above the cargo ship, a shadow of Buddha appeared, seated cross-legged, preventing any ghostly aura from approaching the vessel.
“Alright, now we can head to that island.” Huang Xiaolong waved his right hand, and a talisman floated out, swelling in the wind and transforming into something resembling a magic carpet.
Huang Xiaolong brought Shirley, Qingqing, Xiaohong, and Cao Dabiao along as they all leaped up and stood on the talisman.
With a thought from Huang Xiaolong, the talisman turned into a streak of light, shooting straight into the ghastly, dazzling light.
Boom~~~!!!!!!
The world spun around.
Huang Xiaolong felt an incredibly strong space-traveling force.
It was just like the time when he battled with the serpent demoness, and she teleported Huang Xiaolong into the “pseudo Dual Binary Micro Dust Formation.”
Of course, Huang Xiaolong had walked into the trap himself, otherwise, with the teleportation power of this ghostly formation, it wouldn’t have been able to send Huang Xiaolong away!
A few seconds later.
Huang Xiaolong’s feet touched the ground.
“Ah~~~ Master! Are you there?” Shirley’s scream rang out, standing next to Huang Xiaolong.
Following her were Qingqing and Xiaohong, as well as Cao Dabiao.
“Captain Cao Dabiao, look around and see if this is the island you came to before,” Huang Xiaolong scanned the surroundings.
All around, it seemed to be an island. The sky was covered with dense clouds, shrouded by fog, and within the low-hanging clouds, there were occasional flashes of lightning.
All around, ancient trees towered into the sky, forming primeval forests.
In the forests, every now and then, the howling of wild beasts could be heard, chilling to the bone.
“I… let me see… Let me have a look…” Cao Dabiao anxiously peered around, and after a full ten seconds or more, he nodded. “Yes, it should be this island… The atmosphere is similar, and there are so many towering trees… That terrifying old house, after you walk through a patch of forest, you’ll get there.”
Shirley appeared somewhat annoyed. “Mobile phones and other communication devices have all lost their signal.”
“Let’s go, we’ll find that old house,” Huang Xiaolong smiled meaningfully and took the lead towards the densest part of the eastern jungle.
Shirley hurried to catch up and grabbed Huang Xiaolong’s arm while Qingqing and Xiaohong gave Shirley a contemptuous glance, following closely behind.
“Wait~~ wait for me… wait for me…” Cao Dabiao ran up with a face full of horror.
In the dark and damp jungle.
Hisss~~ Hisss~ Hisss~~
Suddenly, they saw a multitude of giant pythons coiling among the trees.
These pythons were several meters long, as thick as water buckets, covered in scales like crocodiles, and had four claws – resembling Sea Dragons in a way – with cockscomb-like projections on their heads. They opened their massive mouths, growling fiercely, and their mouths were full of sharp teeth that glinted with a blue light, clearly indicating a deadly poison.
“Such disgusting pythons…” Shirley shivered and cuddled closer into Huang Xiaolong’s chest.
“Qingqing sister, these are your kind, you handle them,” Xiaohong giggled.
A demonic light flashed in Qingqing’s eyes, and from her throat came a “hisss~~ hisss~ hisss~~” sound.
Strangely, it seemed that these pythons were intimidated by Qingqing’s demonic aura and quickly slithered away.
It appeared that Qingqing, a serpent demoness who had cultivated for over a thousand years, still held great deterrence over her fellow snakes.
“You… you… what exactly are you?” Shirley trembled with suspicion. “Why do these pythons seem to be so scared of you…?”
Qingqing retracted her demonic aura, stuck out her tongue, and made a scary face at Shirley. “Didn’t I tell you already? I am a demon!”
“Master… is she telling the truth?” Shirley asked, shocked.
“Mhm,” Huang Xiaolong nodded solemnly, but soon after, he directed everyone to walk out of the dense forest.
As they walked, Huang Xiaolong could see, between the trees, some wretched ghosts peering around, being very stealthy.
Many of those ghosts were golden-haired and blue-eyed foreigners.
However, these ghosts seemed to be very afraid of Huang Xiaolong, or perhaps they were scared of the scent on Qingqing and Xiaohong, so they did not dare to act rashly.
Finally, they made their way through the ancient forest!
Ahead, stood a towering cliff, and the sea water was hitting the rocks below the cliff.
Above the cliff stood a solitary ancient building.
Bricks, glazes, and hardwood among other materials had been used to construct an estate!
It was filled with the style of ancient Huaxia!
“Is this the old house?” Huang Xiaolong asked Cao Dabiao.
“Yes, yes, this is it! This is the place!” Cao Dabiao replied, still in shock.
“It really does resemble the ancient estates of our Huaxia officials,” Huang Xiaolong said with a slight smile.
However, through Huang Xiaolong’s Heavenly Eye, he saw that the estate was dripping in blood, with dense resentful energies that couldn’t dissipate above it. Inside the estate, endless torrential and miserable howling sounds were rising wave upon wave.
This was a haunted house, a malevolent place that couldn’t be more malevolent. By comparison, the villa that was once touted as the most haunted place in Binhai was nothing.
In fact, Huang Xiaolong could have released a group of fierce ghosts into this haunted house and had them bring out the black knife, which would have been both time and effort-saving.
However, not only did Huang Xiaolong enjoy catching ghosts and subduing demons, but he also had a fondness for ghost houses and haunted places—the more eerie, the better!
“Let’s go inside!” Huang Xiaolong said excitedly, rubbing his hands together.
Immediately, Huang Xiaolong led everyone along a mountain slope towards the estate.
Arriving at the main entrance of the estate, just as Cao Dabiao described, there were two giant Pixiu stone carvings guarding the house, one on each side.
The large wooden door was ajar, and the bronze lock had long been corroded and rusted through.
Inside the door was pitch black, and a cold draft blew out, feeling like countless caterpillars crawling over the skin. There were also sounds that resembled crying and laughing at the same time.
Waves of profound cold wrapped around from all sides.
“Ah! Blood!” Shirley screamed.
Looking closer, a large swath of foul-smelling blood had seeped out from behind the door, flowing down.
“Damn these tricks and deceptions,” Huang Xiaolong threw out a talisman, and with a loud bang and a sweep of golden light, all the blood evaporated in an instant.
“Let’s go in and see what kind of ghost it is,” Huang Xiaolong walked in front, striding into the haunted house. “The ghost that set up this ghostly formation is very powerful, much stronger than Ying Kexin. I wonder if it’s in this house. I actually wanted to meet it and see what it looks like.”
