I Slaughtered Through the Dungeon Worlds with My Cheats

Chapter 73: Chapter 72 Dead Sea Appearance, Disappearing Cruise Ship [Subscribe Please (4/10)]

The Captain’s voice dropped off, and the Deputy Captain shivered from head to toe.

“Captain…”

“Although it comes at a high cost, we have no other choice.”

“Don’t worry, it’s just a drop of a few levels, and aren’t there sailors on the ship with you?”

“As for those passengers, never mind whether they live or die,” the Captain said with a cold laugh.

From his words, it seemed that the mysterious passengers aboard the Gluttonous Cruise might also drop levels.

Had it been before, even the Captain had no right to do anything to the passengers.

However, in this most perilous moment, the rules on the Gluttonous Cruise had automatically changed.

Or rather, it was a kind of self-protection mechanism that, when its own safety was threatened, could gather all the power on the cruise to deal with the danger.

…

The scene returned to the Bloody Train.

Mu Rufeng had refilled ten carriages with ghost qi.

Mu Rufeng drove the Bloody Train through the Gluttonous Cruise again.

This time, before they passed through the cruise, he detached all ten carriages.

Having learned from the previous experience, Mu Rufeng moved away a bit before turning back and targeting the Gluttonous Cruise.

He detonated the ten carriages without hesitation.

But… the explosion did not occur as expected.

This scene furrowed Mu Rufeng’s brows, “Why isn’t it exploding?”

Mu Rufeng, refusing to believe it, communicated with the Bloody Train again, trying to detonate. However, there was still no reaction.

“The detonation command has been blocked by the ghost qi of the Gluttonous Cruise,” the train conductor said gravely.

“Ghost qi? What’s that?” asked Mu Rufeng, puzzled.

“Ghost qi is an extremely powerful domain force, possessing incredible abilities within its domain,”

“Only Level 5 Gu and above possess ghost qi, and not every Level 5 Gu possesses it; it’s only a very small part that does,” the train conductor explained.

“Does the Bloody Train have ghost qi?” Mu Rufeng asked.

“Yes,” the train conductor nodded.

“Really? Why can’t I feel it?” Mu Rufeng asked, confused.

Mu Rufeng had previously checked the Bloody Train’s attributes and had only seen four special attributes, not noticing any ghost qi ability.

“Because previously, when the Gluttonous Cruise was hunting us, both our ghost qis clashed, and it temporarily became unusable,”

“And, it’s also because of the ghost qi ability that allows the Bloody Train to travel back and forth between the Mysterious World and the real world,” the train conductor elaborated.

“What you mean is, the ghost qi of the Gluttonous Cruise also became unusable, and now it has recovered while ours hasn’t yet?” Mu Rufeng said.

“Exactly,” the train conductor nodded.

“No way, the train has already swallowed so many of my soul banknotes, how could the ghost qi not have recovered?” Mu Rufeng was still puzzled.

“Well, supplementing with just Ghost Power alone can’t restore a ghost qi that’s gone down. It’s a clash of forces between both parties, needing much stronger energy to hasten the recovery.”

“Although we’re just a Level 8 vehicle, the power of our ghost qi is not weaker than that of the Gluttonous Cruise. It was only after both ghost qis went down that the Gluttonous Cruise, relying on its own Level 9 vehicle strength, started hunting us.”

“The Gluttonous cruise has already shrunk by half, and even the damage we inflicted has been healed. They must have absorbed all the power on the cruise,” the train conductor said.

“Like the train’s Special Attribute 4? Both the crew and passengers had their power absorbed? So, that’s how the ghost qi and the injuries recovered?”

“Exactly,” the train conductor nodded.

“So what do we do now? Shall I also draw power from the passengers on the train to restore our ghost qi and force our way through the Gluttonous Cruise’s ghost qi, and detonate the carriages?”

“It’s too late—the Gluttonous Cruise is leaving,” the train conductor said.

In the next moment, a gray mist emerged ahead, and Mu Rufeng could faintly see a vast ocean.

“That’s the Dead Sea, the Gluttonous Cruise used the power of its ghost qi to forcibly connect to the Dead Sea; we can’t stop it,” the train conductor sighed.

We had hoped to keep the Gluttonous Cruise here, then consume its core, allowing the Bloody Train to officially advance to a Level 9 vehicle.

Under the current circumstances, that possibility had already vanished.

Mu Rufeng also felt it was a pity, but regrets were of no use now, as he too was powerless.

After all, a long-standing Level 9 vehicle was extremely difficult to destroy.

“When the Bloody Train reaches Level 9, we’ll go and get even,” Mu Rufeng declared.

“Yes, we must take revenge,” the train conductor said seriously.

In just that short time, the Gluttonous Cruise had disappeared from their view.

The vast Dead Sea, too, grew increasingly blurred and eventually, along with the dense fog, vanished into the void.

The Bloody Train still burned, illuminating the surroundings.

The ten carriages, filled with potent Ghost Power, floated lonely, seemingly waiting to be detonated.

Now that the Gluttonous Cruise had fled, there was naturally no need to detonate them.

Immediately, Mu Rufeng drove the train past and collected the ten carriages one by one.

Mu Rufeng looked at the remaining abundant soul banknotes in the cockpit, waved his hand, and gathered them all.

“Right, what’s the next stop? I remember it’s called the Dead Silence Graveyard? Which way is that?” Mu Rufeng asked the train conductor.

“Open the map, set the destination, and it will navigate automatically,” the train conductor quickly stepped forward and tapped on the dashboard.

Following that, a projection emerged.

It was like the route maps found in subways.

“`

There were ten stops in total, and at this moment, they were between Horror Apartment and Dead Silence Graveyard.

Moreover, there was only a short distance left to Dead Silence Graveyard.

The train conductor reached out once again and double-tapped the Dead Silence Graveyard station.

In the next moment, the Bloody Train, which had been parked in the void, slowly started to move and then quickly sped forward.

As things had come to this stage, he must have wanted to ramp up the completion degree.

Mu Rufeng did not give up the driver’s seat either, as no one knew if the Gluttonous Cruise might make a sudden turnaround.

…

A dimly lit plain.

Grave mounds stood erect, connected to each other, forming an enormous graveyard.

Some grave mounds were towering high, with tombstones in front, on which faint images could be made out.

Others had collapsed, with the tombstones fallen onto the ground.

Numerous spectral entities shuffled back and forth within the graveyard.

Yet, no sound was made.

This place was none other than Dead Silence Graveyard.

On the edge of the graveyard, there was a vast empty space.

Nearby, about a dozen aberrations paced back and forth, their faces showing impatience.

But they dared not speak, only able to pace around, bottling up their frustration.

Some aberrations were also seen holding train tickets for the Bloody Train.

It looked like they were waiting for the passengers from the Bloody Train.

However, the train had long exceeded its scheduled arrival time, and there was still no sign of the Bloody Train, leaving them irritable and restless.

“Woo woo woo~~~!”

Suddenly, the train’s whistle broke the tranquility of Dead Silence Graveyard.

At that moment, all eyes turned toward that direction.

Simultaneously, a tremendous terror descended instantly, making all aberrations feel the oppressive force.

The strongest rule in Dead Silence Graveyard was to remain silent.

However, while the aberrations were still dazed, the tremendous terror vanished as quickly as it had arrived.

“Woo woo woo~~!”

The whistle sounded again, this time closer and louder.

At the same time, on the previously empty space.

An old platform appeared indistinctly, instantly occupying the area of the vacant space.

“Moreover~moreover~moreover~~~!”

Blinding flashes of light flickered from afar, and as the roar of the train grew, the light grew increasingly intense.

A flaming train, blazing and roaring, emerged from the void, rushing along the tracks and finally stopping in front of the platform.

The burning train still emitted an extremely terrifying aura, making all aberrations shudder with fear.

Their eyes were glued to the Bloody Train.

If they remembered correctly, the Bloody Train didn’t look like this before, nor did it have such a terrifying aura.

“Ssshh~~!”

The sound of the air valve rang out, and the carriage doors of the train slowly opened.

Ten attendants got off the train first.

Immediately after, dozens of ghostly passengers raced down from the train in a frantic manner.

Apparently, there was some terrifying presence on board.

“Too damn scary, I’m never taking the train again,” one of the disembarking aberrations said with palpitations.

Just after he finished speaking, he noticed that the dozen or so aberrations waiting to board the train were looking at him with a very eerie gaze.

This aberration suddenly remembered that this station was supposedly called Dead Silence Graveyard.

He recalled the information about Dead Silence Graveyard.

Dead Silence Graveyard was an excellent place for cultivation, with grave mounds containing dense and pure Ghost Power.

There was a caretaker managing all the gravesites.

And by paying a fee, one could enter a grave mound for cultivation, with charges ranging from one hundred yuan a day to ten thousand yuan a day, depending on the strength of the Ghost Power inside the grave mound.

There weren’t many rules here, but there was one paramount rule: please keep silent.

If any noise was made, then great terror would descend, and even a Level 7 Mysterious could not escape death.

Even Level 8 aberrations dared not speak here.

And him? He was merely a third-level Evil Ghost.

Instantly, his face turned extremely pale with terror.

The aberrations around seemed to have realized what was going to happen next, all looking at him with an eerie gaze.

But… several seconds passed, and absolutely nothing happened.

They waited a few more seconds, and still, no great terror descended.

The Evil Ghost swallowed his saliva, his body and mind trembling.

Suddenly, he understood something and immediately looked toward the still-burning train.
