Chapter 89: In the Little Hell

The sound of the oar breaking the surface of the water echoed across the lake, giving it a somewhat lonely flavor. Hui Gen’er stood next to me, while everyone else in the cabin was standing. That black mountain was like the dividing line between the human world and hell.

I said that I would face the first moment of entering the natural formation with Huigen, so at this moment I stood next to him, and even took a step forward. I watched the figure of the black mountain gradually grow larger in my eyes, and then I saw the plants on the mountain, the dark green leaves that were almost black, trembling slightly in the wind!

After turning the corner, we were inside the natural formation. The corner was like a clear dividing line. The water outside the corner reflected the moonlight and had a hint of brightness. The water inside the corner was like a pool of still, dark water under the heavy night sky.

The boat was moving fast, and soon reached the boundary. Hui Gen suddenly stopped, looking at me with some trepidation in his eyes. No matter what, we are still human beings. How can we enter a world of ghosts without any trepidation?

At this moment, Hui Gen’er revealed his childish side again.

“Keep rowing, it’s fine,” I said as calmly as I could, only my own heartbeat told me how unsettled I was at that moment.

“Mmm,” Hui Gen’er said, leaning forward, and the oar moved. The boat began to move again with the help of the oar. This time, it finally entered the boundary without turning back!

We have finally broken into the world of ghosts.

At that moment, there was a silence that came from psychological repression. All of us almost subconsciously held our breath…

It was very quiet, and there was no feeling of entering another world.

“Puff,” was the sound of Hui Gen’er exhaling, but it was so dark around us that it was my first thought that Hui Gen’er’s breathing was the only sound in the area.

“La la la…” In the distance, it seemed as if there was a misty female voice humming an ancient ballad. The tune of the ballad was very beautiful, but the female voice was humming like it was crying, making people’s hearts involuntarily rise with a creepy feeling.

“Is this the first one?” Xiao Chengqian frowned, as if he was disgusted with this kind of trickery.

But before he could finish his sentence, a gust of wind suddenly blew from all directions, targeting our boat. Accompanied by the sudden rise of the waves under the water, we suddenly changed from a calm environment to a stormy environment!

“Fuck, what’s going on?” Xiao Chengqian’s voice came from the cabin, followed by the sound of everyone falling over one after another!

The wind and waves were so strong that the boat was completely transformed into a small boat in the wind and rain, and we couldn’t stand up!

I stood at the bow of the boat, unable to see anything in the darkness. I felt a wave hit me and splash water all over my body. Then I couldn’t help but slip, but Hui Gen’er grabbed the oar and held me tightly.

“Brother, don’t fall off. I can hear the voices of many ghosts in the wind! I feel that there are many hands reaching out to grab people!” The wind was blowing so hard that Huigen’s voice was breaking up.

I felt one wave after another hitting the bow of the boat and hitting my body. It was so chaotic at that moment, but I still heard Huigen’s words. He had a crystal clear heart. In the sudden change of environment, I felt that these were even better than my spiritual awareness!

As soon as he said it, I also felt it in a trance. Amidst the howling wind, there were many voices crying or laughing, and amidst the surging waves, there were countless hands reaching out!

I quickly rolled over and got up, but I didn’t dare to stand up straight. I grabbed Hui Gen’er and almost rolled and crawled with him into the cabin!

“Close the cabin!” I shouted, and while I was speaking, I endured the bumps and almost crawled to the bow of the ship, barely holding on to the edge of the sail, and suddenly ripped off the sail!

With a loud bang, a huge wave hit the boat just as I had pulled down the sail. I felt a huge force coming from the sail, knocking me back a few steps and sending me crashing into the cabin!

Over there, Lu Shan also pulled down the sail at the stern of the boat, which also attracted a huge wave, knocking Lu Shan down and almost landing him in the same place as me.

In the midst of the storm, the two waves almost lifted the boat from the water and then dropped it back down. At that moment, the boat was almost 60 degrees inclined, and all of us were uncontrollably shifted to one side, causing the cabin to ‘bang bang’ and ring!

My heart was in my throat at that moment, and I was afraid that the boat would not withstand the blow of the wind and waves and would capsize in an instant. Fortunately, after swaying for a while, it finally managed to stabilize.

The wind was blocked by the boat’s canopy and kept out of the cabin. In the darkness, and with the barely tolerable bumps, we began to grope for the jade talisman. I wanted to use a lighter to light it up, but the lighter, which had gotten wet, could no longer function.

At this moment, Xiao Chenggan, who was holding the lighter, began to feel nauseous. This kind of sailing in the wind and waves is not something that people who spend years on the water can withstand.

“Don’t throw up! Can we stay in the cabin if we throw up?” I was quick and took off my shirt to cover Xiao Chengqian’s mouth, but the guy threw up a big bag of my clothes.

Could the situation be any worse? I gritted my teeth, endured the nausea, opened the window, and threw the clothes in my hand, which were emitting a sour stench, out. But the moment I opened the window, I saw countless miserable faces crowding over, torn apart by the wind, gathering together again, with withered hands desperately grasping the edges of the window.

“Damn it, get out!” I bit my finger, quickly drew a symbol in the palm of my hand, and then slapped it one by one. I didn’t have time to hear the sound of the ghost’s miserable wailing. After slapping the hands that were holding the edges of the window, I pulled down the curtains!

With the lighter in Xiao Chengqian’s hand, I finally lit the oil lamp. With the light of the oil lamp, everyone worked together to install the jade talisman, waiting for the protective formation of the boat to slowly take effect.

The boat was still violently rocking, and we sat silently in the cabin, letting the light of the oil lamp reflect our faces in a miserable way. We dared not speak, for we were afraid that speaking would bring about even greater disaster. We could only endure the rocking and the sound of the wind hitting the boat’s canopy like someone beating on the door.

Time passed slowly, and every second felt like an hour. The waves made my stomach churn, but I gritted my teeth and endured. However, time passed no matter what, and as time slowly passed, the wind seemed to have died down a little, and the waves from under the water gradually subsided…

Then, everything started to become quieter. Then, the wind outside seemed to have stopped, and the boat became gentle, gently rocking back and forth, just like when I was a child in my mother’s cradle.

We actually began to feel sleepy… No, I can’t sleep, I mustn’t sleep. A voice in my heart kept reminding me, how could I fall asleep in such a strange place?

I slapped myself hard to force myself awake, and went to wake everyone up one by one. I realized that under these circumstances, the only one who was more awake than me was Tao Bai!

With Tao Bai’s help, I finally got everyone awake. Ruoyue said in a daze, “The wind has stopped? We’re not in danger anymore?”

Lu Shan pinched his forehead a few times and said in a dazed voice, “From the beginning to the present, ten minutes! We can’t waste any more jade talismans. We only have three quarters of an hour left… We can’t…” As he spoke, he was about to fall asleep again. Tao Bai had no choice but to pinch him a few times.

“It must be caused by the sudden flow of negative energy. Something is wrong. Chengyi, this feeling of wanting to sleep is wrong. Even the ship’s formation can’t protect us. We have to go out and take a look.” It was Xiao Chengqian who was speaking.

At this time, Cheng Xin brother reluctantly supported, took out three sticks of incense from his backpack, which were a strange purple color, and lit them in the cabin.

The incense had an indescribable sweet aroma that quickly spread throughout the enclosed cabin. After sniffing it carefully, I realized that the sweet aroma also had a strange and stimulating smell. As the incense burned, the annoying drowsiness was finally driven away. Although it was not the kind of peak state of wakefulness, at least I would not fall asleep after a few words.

We looked at each other in the cabin, and the sudden burst of energy just now made each of us feel a little scared. Xiao Chengqian was right, we should go out and check it out, but in this situation, it really takes a lot of courage.

I glanced at the jade talisman in the cabin and knew that there was no time to delay. I stood up suddenly and said, “Take down the jade talisman. We can’t possibly have completely given in here from the start, can we? What’s going to happen next? I’m going to take a look outside.”

“Third brother…” “Chengyi brother…” were the voices of several girls who were afraid.

But where can I care about so much? Am I going to be trapped in the cabin? I gritted my teeth, walked to the head of the bed, opened the sail at once, and…

I stood at the bow of the ship!
