Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 407: Chapter 375 Sinister and Terrifying…

“Send the Void Magic Squad to take a look and figure out what’s going on,”

Standing at the bow of his ship, Lapaton gazed at the merchant ships scattered haphazardly on the ground, full of confusion. After contemplating, he gave the order for the Void Magic Squad to inspect them.

Following his command, the Void Magic Warriors who were hovering around the merchant ships began to descend onto their decks.@@novelbin@@

This time, Lapaton had brought two squads of Void Magic Warriors, totaling twenty people. Each would check a ship, which was just enough to cover the investigation of most of the merchant ships.

So, after receiving Lapaton’s order, the two squad leaders commanded the Void Magic Warriors of their squads to land.

It was deep into the night at that time, and as the Void Magic Warriors landed on the decks, the warships around them directed all the Magic Energy Lamps towards the decks to aid in the investigation.

“Captain, I’ve found a head,”

a Void Magic Warrior announced as he walked around the deck and quickly spotted bloodstains, followed by the discovery of a head not far away.

“Do you know who it is?”

After reporting his find, the captain asked through the communicator.

“I don’t know, but it looks like they were killed recently, might be a crew member…”

Picking up the head to examine it, the Void Magic Warrior then said into the communicator, “I’m going to check inside the cabin.”

“Be careful, there could still be demons lurking inside,”

“Got it.”

With an affirmation, the Void Magic Warrior leapt lightly, and in the next moment, he had landed at the entrance of the cabin.

With a clang, he kicked open the door leading to the cabin and stepped inside.

Since the cabin was below deck, as soon as the Void Magic Warrior entered, the exterior Magic Energy Lamps could no longer provide light inside, plunging his surroundings into pitch darkness, where he could not see his own hand before his eyes.

However, it wasn’t long before the Void Magic Warrior turned on the built-in lights of his Armor. Beams of faint light immediately shot out from both sides of his Helmet, which weren’t very bright but allowed him to make out his surroundings.

Using the light to see, he found that the corridor within the cabin was desolate, with no hint of people or bodies, not even a trace of blood. There was not a single sound around him—the entire cabin was deathly silent, as if it were a tomb…

At the same time, he noticed that the corridor didn’t seem to have suffered any damage or signs of a struggle; everything was clean and orderly.

What was going on?

With questions in mind, the Void Magic Warrior continued walking. Accompanied by his footsteps, he soon reached a door and pushed it open…

Creak…

The door let out a faint noise as it opened, and the Void Magic Warrior peered inside.

It was the crew’s quarters.

He looked into the cabin and saw that it was a bedroom, and there was nothing amiss.

“Hmm?”

The Void Magic Warrior standing at the bedroom door was looking around when suddenly he whipped his head around!

Had he just heard something?

Turning quickly, the Void Magic Warrior looked behind, still seeing only the empty corridor, nothing else.

Looking back at the eerily empty space, the Void Magic Warrior slowly drew his Side Sword, his alertness heightened more than before.

The warriors of Chenxiu City, a large Sky City, are of a quite high standard. Or rather, the Void Magic Warriors from any Sky City are the elite of the elite. Thus, although this warrior hadn’t found anything unusual, he was absolutely certain he had heard some noise just now.

On a seemingly abandoned merchant ship like this, any sound was cause for high alert, which is why he not only drew his Side Sword but also slowed his pace.

Step by step, cautiously walking inside the ship cabin, the Void Magic Warrior had only taken a few steps forward when he suddenly turned around!

Looking back, there was still nothing.

But he was certain that he had heard a noise again, faint though it was. In the empty cabin, with his full attention, any sound would be noticed, no matter how slight.

This only made him more cautious, as it felt as if someone were following him, as though a pair of eyes in the darkness were watching his every move. Yet every time he turned around, the eyes seemed to vanish.

Truth be told, this feeling was not pleasant.

Protected by his helmet, the Void Magic Warrior swallowed hard, unwittingly gripping his side sword tighter.

What in the world was going on here?

Why would this place, without reason, feel so creepy and terrifying?

Carefully, he quickly reached the end of the cabin, only to see a staircase leading to the lowest level of the cargo ship.

Gazing into the pitch-black staircase entrance, the Void Magic Warrior felt as if he were looking at a gaping dark maw, as if it were waiting for him to fall right into the trap, to climb into its belly.

Truth be told, in that instant, the Void Magic Warrior felt a flicker of fear, baseless as it was, but it made him sense danger.

He shook his head quickly, casting the fleeting fear from his mind, and then took steps down the staircase.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Descending the staircase step by step, the entire merchant ship was left with only the sounds of the Void Magic Warrior’s footsteps. And when he reached the cargo hold, he saw another corridor ahead.

But this corridor was much shorter than the one above, and at its end was a door, obviously leading to the cargo hold.

Just as he laid eyes on the cargo hold door, suddenly, a series of urgent knocks rang out!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bang-bang! Bang-bang-bang! Bang-bang!

Bang-bang-bang!

The sudden, urgent knocking gave the Void Magic Warrior a start, but he quickly recovered and strode toward the door.

Within moments, he arrived at the door, unhesitatingly chopping off the heavy lock with his sword and kicking the door open.

“Don’t! Don’t kill us!”

As he kicked the door open, before the Void Magic Warrior had a chance to see clearly inside, he heard terrified pleas.

When he followed the sound, he discovered the crew members who had been locked inside the cabin.

“Don’t be afraid, I am a Void Magic Warrior from Chenxiu City.”

Extending his hand to the terrified crew, the Void Magic Warrior hurriedly revealed his identity.

“Who locked you up in here?”

Looking at all the crew members, the Void Magic Warrior asked.

“Her!”

When asked, the crew members then pointed their fingers behind the Void Magic Warrior…!

PS: It’s been a long time since I’ve asked for recommendations, a few recommendation tickets would be much appreciated!
