Chapter 390: The Basement

Zhu Qiong and the others, who were standing at the top of the stairs, stared at us vigilantly, not daring to continue walking.

If we dive upwards and fight in narrow rooms or stairs, we with fewer people are even more disadvantaged.

For a while, the two sides froze, and no one dared to move half a step.

Murphy whispered, "What are the odds of winning if we do fight him?"

"About fifty percent."

I looked ahead, and I was terrified.

The fifteen people on the opposite side have also been washed by the Dao Fa, and their strength is probably the same as mine.

The only ones who really have combat effectiveness on our side are Murphy and Sun Mingjin.

We have a 50% chance of winning, but that doesn't mean we have a 50% chance of surviving!

After dealing with Zhu Qiong and others, we still have to face the crisis on the ship.

Therefore, if you fight this battle, you will die, and if you don't fight, you will die!

Just when I was in a dilemma, Zhu Qiong on top took the lead in opening his mouth.

"Zhuge Qianlong. In fact, if you do the math, there doesn't seem to be any deep hatred between us."

"For the sake of the Zhuge family, it's not worth losing my own life."

"Why don't we make peace and find a way to get out of this damn place together?"

Although I said so, I could still see the burning killing intent in Zhu Qiong's eyes.

I hesitated for a moment, then asked in a loud voice, "How can I trust your sincerity?"

"I can swear to heaven that I will never hurt you! You three put down your weapons first!" Zhu Qiong shouted at us.

Joke! In the absence of spells, cold weapons are king.

The three of us were already at a disadvantage, and once we lost our weapons, it was almost equivalent to being captured.

I shouted to them as well, "As a matter of sincerity, throw down your weapons first!"

"You go first!"

"You go first!"

We both shouted at the top of our voices for a long time, but in fact, neither of us had any sincerity.

Suddenly, the situation froze.

Zhu Qiong said with a gloomy face, "Okay! We will use the staircase as the boundary, and no one is allowed to cross the thunder pond for a single step!"

"Otherwise, it will be tantamount to declaring war on the other side!"

"It's a deal!"

I was greatly relieved that the outcome of the negotiations had come out.

In terms of fighting, I may not be the opponent of Zhu Qiong and others. But if compared to my understanding of Qimen Dunjia and Qi Charm and Spirit, I am definitely superior to Zhu Qiong and the others countless times.

Even if they are fifteen stinkers, they can't compare to one Zhuge Liang of mine.

Sun Mingjin was puzzled, "Big brother, anyway, we both have to fight sooner or later, why delay?"

Murphy followed suit, "A few of them take turns keeping vigil and waiting for an opportunity, and the consumption alone can consume us to death."

"No, it won't."

I pulled out a charm, glowing gold, from my storage bag and placed it at the outermost end of the staircase.

I said, "It's a forbidden talisman, it's not very powerful."

"Under normal circumstances, a casual attack can break the spell in an instant."

"But now that we have lost our strength at the same time, and if we want to break my spell with brute force, even if there are fifteen of them, it will take at least a stick of incense."

The rules inside the ghost ship are so strict that there is only one way for them to get out of the cabin.

Even if you jump directly into the sea, you will be transported to the cabin on the fourth floor as before.

A small Taoist charm, at a critical moment, was like two big iron doors, firmly locking Zhu Qiong and fifteen other people in it.

The huge ghost ship moved slowly, surrounded by the vast sea and fog with no end in sight.

A breeze blew, and the fog dissipated a little, revealing a full moon overhead.

The three of us sat on the deck, eating compressed biscuits, and the breeze blew outside, and the tension was much lessened.

Above us, on the fourth floor of the ship, puffs of smoke came out.

I could still vaguely hear Zhu Qiong's coughing, "I can't even do this little thing, it's really a waste!"

I guess they're trying to get fresh water and food.

Fifteen people, without being able to open the storage bag, could not get enough food and drink on this ship.

Murphy was afraid that they would survive me, but the opposite was true.

Even if it is to fight for food consumption, we can starve Zhu Qiong and others to death.

I deliberately found a direction with my back to the cabin, and Zhu Qiong above couldn't see us at all, let alone rush down.

Now, it's time to compete in endurance and exertion.

After eating and drinking, the sky began to rain.

Upstairs, Zhu Qiong's surprised voice came, "Quick, find something to catch the rain!"

In the midst of the thunder and lightning, I couldn't help but feel a little difficult.

In the midst of heaven and earth, the land of water is extraordinarily rich.

This heavy rain is possible for several days and nights in a row. And above the cabin, a strange yin force is quietly rising.

No, we need to find shelter as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it will rain heavily, and we will have no place to hide, and we are very likely to die of hypothermia.

Zhu Qiong lives in the cabin on the roof of the building, and we have no way to go up, so we can only make up our minds in the underground cabin.

We walked around the cabin and found a copper ring on the wooden deck due north.

The wooden planks around the copper ring, with square cut marks, should have a cellar.

"Big brother, I'm coming!"

Sun Mingjin stretched out his hand and was about to pull it, but I slapped his palm off, "Don't kill you!"

I took out the coiled dragon lock from the storage bag, hooked one end to the brass ring, and wrapped the other end around the mast next to it.

The trigger was pulled, the snap buckle of the coiling dragon lock opened, and the brass ring of the cellar opened, revealing the black hole inside.

The moment the entrance of the cave opened, a wave of evil qi gushed out.

The gushing evil gas contaminated the coiling dragon lock, and the stainless steel lock was actually corroded and broken!

Sun Mingjin stroked his chest and said in horror, "It's good that I didn't open it, otherwise half of my body would have burned out at this moment."

When the evil spirit had dissipated, I took out the exorcism charm from my storage bag, lit it, and threw it down.

The exorcism charm burned very gently, and it was obvious that there were not many evil spirits in it.

The entrance of the cave can barely accommodate one person to pass through, and the bottom is so dark that you can't see anything.

"I'll go down first, and if there's no danger you'll come again."

Murphy stared at the entrance of the cave and said worriedly, "Why don't I go?"

"You don't have enough sense, so I'm going to have to come."

I changed the chain for the coiling dragon lock, wrapped it around my waist, and handed the other end to Murphy and Sun Mingjin.

As soon as there is any danger, they can pull me on immediately.
