This paper effigy was not the same as the one in his storage ring, but its aura and eerie aura were exactly the same. At that moment, Wang Baole immediately realized why the paper effigy in his storage ring was vibrating. After understanding this matter, he looked at the slowly approaching specter ship and a huge doubt arose in his heart.
What … does this ship represent?
Wang Baole did not know exactly what it represented, but he knew … that the strange paper effigy in his storage ring definitely had something to do with this ship. Or rather, it had a lot to do with the paper effigy rowing the ship!
Could it be that this is a cultivator from a certain civilization? This thought instantly surfaced in Wang Baole's mind. The Never-Ending Dao Domain was just too big, and there were many civilizations. It was inevitable that there would be some rare species.
However, no matter what, Wang Baole did not want to get involved in this mess. He felt that his arms and legs were small, and his body was weak. Now, he was still thin and could not withstand the torment of storms and waves. Therefore, he instinctively prepared to avoid the strange specter ship.
It's obvious that the thirty-odd young men and women on the sampan are no ordinary people. One shouldn't be too curious. I don't care why they're on the sampan or where they're going. It has nothing to do with me. Wang Baole blinked and retreated abruptly.
He could already tell that the thirty-odd people sitting cross-legged on the ship were not ordinary people. All of them were cold and arrogant. There was a distance between them, as if they were from different factions. Furthermore, it was impossible for them to not notice Wang Baole outside the specter ship. However, all of them had their eyes closed. If not for their auras, they would probably be thought to be dead.
His attitude showed that he didn't care about Wang Baole at all. He didn't even show any curiosity. It was as if he and Wang Baole belonged to two completely different worlds. It was like how an elephant wouldn't care about an ant crawling by its side. The feeling of disregard made Wang Baole very uncomfortable.
However, the current situation was unknown, and the boat was strange. Wang Baole didn't want to complicate matters, so he snorted inwardly and retreated even faster in an attempt to increase the distance between them.
It was just that … some things didn't always go as planned. Even though Wang Baole retreated hastily, no matter how he retreated, the spirit boat drifting towards him from afar didn't widen the distance between them. Instead, it got closer and closer. Every time the paper human cutout at the head of the boat paddled, the spirit boat would become a blur and then get closer to him.
This scene was so bizarre that it made Wang Baole's heart tremble. He instinctively wanted to use the Dark Art, but it didn't seem to have much effect. The Specter Ship didn't stop coming. Every time it blurred, it got closer and closer.
"What the hell is this thing!" Wang Baole's scalp went numb. He gritted his teeth and prepared to use the teleportation technique.
However, before he could do so, the ghost ship blurred again. A moment later … when it became clear again, it had crossed the starry sky and was directly in front of Wang Baole!
That scene made Wang Baole break out in a cold sweat. That was especially so when the boat arrived. An ancient aura from it surged towards him, causing Wang Baole's expression to change, and his pupils to constrict … That was because, on the ethereal spirit boat in front of him, the paper human cutout that was rowing the boat had stopped moving. It no longer moved the paper oar, but instead raised its head and stared at Wang Baole with its cold and lifeless eyes that were drawn on its face!
Under the gaze of the paper human cutout, Wang Baole's body seemed to be restrained by a powerful force, causing his cultivation to tremble. His soul was unstable, and he felt his hair stand on end. Waves of fear surged from his heart and spread throughout his entire body. A strong sense of danger spread throughout his body.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Baole's Cultivation base exploded with power. He even used the Emperor's Armor, which had only been partially restored, to increase his speed as he shot backward.
However … it was still useless!
From a distance, the ship seemed to be motionless. In truth, Wang Baole was retreating at top speed. However … no matter how he retreated, the distance between him and the ship didn't change. It was still right in front of him, giving him the illusion that the ship and Wang Baole hadn't moved at all!
Wang Baole's heart trembled as he teleported away. However, when he reappeared … the ship was still right in front of him. The distance between them was exactly the same. Even the paper doll's gaze toward him hadn't changed in the slightest!
This caused Wang Baole's face to go pale. He was about to speak when the paper doll suddenly lifted its left hand and made a beckoning gesture toward Wang Baole, as if inviting him to board the ship.
It was then that some of the youths sitting cross-legged on the spirit ship finally had a look of surprise on their faces. They opened their eyes and looked at Wang Baole. Even though not all of them did so, half of them opened their eyes and looked at Wang Baole. They didn't try to hide the surprise in their eyes.
However, in addition to the surprise, which varied in strength, there were other emotions that emanated from them. Some were cold, some were narrowing their eyes, some were puzzled, some were hostile, and some had disdainful looks on their faces.
"They didn't pay any attention to me before," thought Meng Hao. "It was only when the ship followed me and the paper doll beckoned that they noticed me and looked surprised …. Does that mean they didn't think I was qualified to board the ship?" Thoughts raced through Wang Baole's mind. He looked at the people on the ship and then looked at the paper doll that had maintained its beckoning gesture. He immediately cupped his fists and bowed to the paper doll.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but I have other matters to attend to, so I won't board the ship for now. I wish you a safe journey, Senior …" As Wang Baole spoke, he quickly teleported again.
Perhaps his words had worked, or perhaps there were other reasons. Regardless, after he finished speaking and teleported away, when Wang Baole's silhouette reappeared in an area further away, the ethereal spirit ship finally didn't appear. It was as if it had completely disappeared, and there was no trace of it.
When Wang Baole saw this, he first heaved a sigh of relief, but soon he was conflicted again. He really felt that he had missed an opportunity …
"Maybe this is a ship that's heading for good fortune …. Otherwise, why would those cultivators, who are obviously not ordinary, be sitting on it and look surprised when they see me being invited?" The more Wang Baole thought about it, the more regretful he felt. However, after analyzing it again, he still felt that this ship was too strange.
This strangeness had something to do with the paper human cutout in his storage ring, the paper human cutout rowing the boat, and the appearance of the ethereal spirit boat. Wang Baole felt that this could be an opportunity, but it could also be … a journey of death.
But no matter what, Wang Baole was more vigilant about the storage ring he had obtained. He quickly sealed it again. Although the seal had been broken by the paper dolls and his location had been exposed, it wasn't to the extent of giving up. However, he still made up his mind that he wouldn't explore this ring again until he reached the Planet realm.
With this thought in mind, Wang Baole calmed his emotions and once again sped in the direction of the Divine Eye civilization.
In reality, Wang Baole's guess was correct. His position was indeed exposed due to the paper human cutout breaking the seal. As a result, in the cosmos not far from where he was, a huge golden beetle that was shuttling through space at high speed suddenly stopped and changed directions, charging in his direction with a whoosh.
Inside this golden beetle was the Never-Ending Clan Planet realm cultivator, Shan Lingzi. His cultivation level had dropped and was now only at the Spirit Immortal realm. However, beside him was his companion, Dan Zhouzi, who seemed to be helping him but was actually filled with greed. His early-stage Planet realm cultivation level was very strong.
"Fellow Daoist Dan Zhouzi, I sensed the location of my storage ring just now. It should be that little bastard who recklessly tried to open it again. Although he gave up very quickly and caused my sense of direction to disappear, the general direction shouldn't be wrong." Shan Lingzi's eyes revealed a sinister look as he informed his companion of the location he had sensed.
"It's not very far." At the side, Dan Zhouzi smiled slightly and didn't hide the greed in his eyes. He controlled the golden beetle and sped away. However, the range of the location Shan Lingzi sensed was too large, and it wasn't easy to find it accurately. Originally, if they continued searching like this, even if they reached the range of the location they sensed, it would take a long time to find something. However … fate seemed to favor them. After speeding for several days, suddenly … Shan Lingzi's eyes widened in surprise. This was because he actually … sensed his storage ring again!
