"That's right." Lu Ye nodded. It was because he noticed the strange connection during this reincarnation that he remembered the woman's previous warning and came to find her.
Haitang said, "This connection will become closer and closer as you die more and more times, until you and the ghost ship are completely integrated into one, and can no longer be separated."
"The ghost ship?" Lu Ye looked at her in confusion.
"Yes, this dragon warship is the famous ghost ship in the starry sky! No one knows how it appeared, but the recorded history can be traced back to tens of thousands of years ago. "
Listening to Haitang's words, the ghost ship seemed to be very famous in the starry sky, but Lu Ye, as a fledgling who had just entered the starry sky, had never heard of the ghost ship. Not to mention him, no one in the entire Nine Regions knew about it.
"The ghost ship drifts around in the starry sky, and it may appear anywhere. Before entering, it looks like a broken warship from the outside, but any creature that sets foot on it will trigger a change in the ghost ship."
This change should be the thick fog that Lu Ye had seen before. When the fog dissipated, the broken spirit boat would transform into the Long Dragon Battleship, and the person who broke in would naturally become the captain of the Long Dragon Battleship.
Lu Ye asked, "Is this change real or an illusion?"
Haitang said, "For you, it's an illusion, but for me, it's real."
"What's the difference?"
"You haven't completely integrated into the ghost ship, so you still have a chance to get rid of it, but I …" Haitang's expression was a little sad.
Lu Ye suddenly understood, "Senior Martial Sister, were you also attracted by this ship and trapped in it?"
Haitang nodded, "I fell here not long ago, and I have experienced everything you have."
Lu Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Since Senior Martial Sister knows that this is the famous ghost ship, why do you still want to explore it?"
Haitang smiled bitterly, "I only realized it after I came in." Shaking her head, she continued, "Now that I'm trapped here, I can still maintain my sanity for a short period of time, but after a long time, I will die. Everything about me will become the nutrients of this ghost ship. You came at the right time. If you came a few months later, you wouldn't be able to see me. The other crew members won't tell you these things. They are the original existence of the Long Dragon Battleship."
Lu Ye suddenly understood. No wonder Haitang reminded him in the first reincarnation. It turned out that she was indeed different from the other crew members.
No matter who the other crew members were, they were all part of the Specter Ship, but Haitang was an outsider like him. Although she was trapped now, she still maintained her rationality, which was why she kindly reminded Lu Ye.
She was willing to hold an umbrella over him because she was in the rain.
However, this state was destined to not last long. After a while, she would completely vanish into thin air.
Lu Ye was worried and asked, "Then what should I do to get rid of it?"
"Take control of the dragon warship and lead the crew members to defeat the invading enemies. Then you can get rid of this ship and regain your freedom!"
This was exactly what Lu Ye had wanted to do before, but it was just a thought. Doing it was not so easy. Everything else aside, this was already the fourth cycle, and Lu Ye was not even familiar with controlling the warship, let alone engaging in aerial combat with the three invading warships.
"There is a mystery about the ghost ship." Haitang also knew that Lu Ye did not have much time, so she spoke faster, "No matter what cultivation level a person has, they can only display the strength of the early Constellation Realm. Even the Sunshine Realm is no exception. This is the rule of the ghost ship."
Lu Ye didn't know this, because he himself was at the early Constellation Realm, so this rule was meaningless to him.
"This rule is extremely harsh and greatly limits the strength of a cultivator. Therefore, even if they know that there is an opportunity on the ghost ship, cultivators who know it in the starry sky will not rashly barge in. Generally, when they see it, they will stay far away."
"Opportunity?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. "There is an opportunity here?"
Haitang smiled. "There is naturally an opportunity in such a dangerous place, especially for a strange existence like the ghost ship. However, if you can't defeat the invaders, you won't be able to get the opportunity."
Lu Ye could now confirm that the opportunity Feng Rumo had mentioned was really the Long Dragon Battleship.
He couldn't help but curse inwardly. That sloppy old man did tell him that there was danger in this opportunity and asked him to decide on his own. However, before entering the ghost ship, he didn't see any danger at all. By the time he came in, it was already too late!
Feng Rumo's reminder was equivalent to not saying anything.
However, he couldn't blame him. They were strangers who met by chance. He took some of Lu Ye's food, wine, and meat. Not only did he give Lu Ye an opportunity, but he also sealed a secret technique on his Pan Shan Saber. From Feng Rumo's point of view, they were even. As for whether Lu Ye would die because of the ghost ship … what did it have to do with him?
There were dangers everywhere in the starry sky. Even if the ghost ship didn't exist, there would be other ships. Furthermore, cultivators died almost every moment in the starry sky for various reasons.
"What kind of opportunity?" Lu Ye asked.
Haitang said, "It's said that there are all kinds of treasures on the ghost ship. Even Sunshine cultivators would be tempted by them. If you can get off the ship and regain your freedom, you can choose any item on the ship and take it away!"
Treasures that even Sunshine cultivators would be tempted by! What kind of treasure is it?
If that's the case, then it's understandable why the ghost ship can make such a name for itself in the starry sky.
Such a fortuitous encounter would definitely attract heroes from all over to temper themselves. As a group of cultivators, there had never been a lack of adventurous genes.
"Senior Sister Haitang, I think we can cooperate!" Lu Ye suggested.
"How?" Haitang looked at him, puzzled.
"Since Senior Sister has experienced everything I've experienced, then you must be more familiar with the control of the warship than me. How about this, I'll transfer the control of the warship to you. You …"
"No!"
Before Lu Ye could finish speaking, Haitang interrupted him.
She looked at Lu Ye with a serious face. "You can't transfer the control of the ghost ship to me!"
"Why?"
"The control of the ship is the foundation of your identity as the captain. With this control, you'll be the captain and can continue the test of the ghost ship. But once you lose this control, you'll immediately be in the same situation as me. You'll be trapped on this ship until the day you turn into nutrients for the ghost ship!"
Lu Ye finally understood why he felt so uneasy when he was about to transfer the control of the warship to Qin Zong. It turned out that there was such a trick. Fortunately, he realized that something was wrong and stopped the transfer. Otherwise, he would really follow in Haitang's footsteps. At that time, the two of them would probably be staring at each other with tears in their eyes.
Qin Zong and the other bastards must have known the consequences of transferring the control of the ship, but none of them reminded him. Instead, they all had strange smiles on their faces during the transfer.
"Enemy attack!" On the deck, the stern warning of the lookout sounded again. In the next moment, the crew on the Long Dragon Battleship began to move.
Lu Ye didn't have much time left. He hurriedly asked, "Senior Sister, do you have any other instructions?"
Haitang said, "Although all the crew members on the ghost ship are part of the ship, as long as you're the captain, they will strictly follow your every order. This is also one of the rules of the ghost ship. Make good use of this! In history, many cultivators have fallen into the ghost ship. Not to mention constellations, there were even Sunshine cultivators. However, there were also precedents of successfully escaping and leaving with precious treasures. The universe is not set yet. Don't give up until the very end! "
"Got it."
He turned and ran out. Halfway there, he heard Qin Zong shouting in panic, "Captain, come back and take control of the warship!"
"Don't be noisy!" Lu Ye rushed past him and went straight to the cabin. Soon, he arrived in front of the ball. He stood still and poured spiritual power into it.
Ten breaths later, the Dragon Warship exploded. Under the powerful attack of the invaders, none of the crew members on the ship survived.
When Lu Ye opened his eyes in the fifth reincarnation, he immediately checked the strange connection between himself and the Dragon Warship. He found that it was indeed closer.
This connection would continue to deepen as he died more and more times. When it reached a certain limit, Lu Ye would become like Haitang, completely trapped here and unable to escape.
Therefore, everything he experienced at this moment was what Haitang had experienced before.
Alone in such a strange environment, he slowly walked towards the end. If his mind wasn't strong enough, he would soon collapse.
Lu Ye didn't know how many times he could die. He couldn't make an accurate judgment because he didn't feel it too deeply. However, he still had a long way to go to get rid of the ghost ship.
This kind of death wasn't real because everything he experienced at this moment was just an illusion. However, this illusion was unfolded under the rules of the ghost ship. It was too clever, and Lu Ye couldn't see any flaws.
Calming his mind, Lu Ye immediately raised his hand and pressed it on the ball of the control center. His mind connected with the Dragon Warship and he began to familiarize himself with the controls of the warship.
But before that, he first had the Dragon Warship speed up and escape into the distance.
His thinking was very simple. Since there was a strong enemy chasing after him, he should speed up first and try to open up a little more distance and delay a little more time.
But soon, Lu Ye knew that he was overthinking it.
Because when the familiar enemy attack was shouted, Lu Ye found that he didn't delay any extra time. At the same time, the crew on the lookout tower issued a warning!
What was going on? With no time to think, Lu Ye continued to control the Dragon Warship to fly forward.
A moment later, the enemy's warship caught up, and the distance between them was constantly closing. Huge beams of light like attacks were constantly sweeping from behind.
Under Lu Ye's control, the warship flipped and moved, avoiding most of the attacks. However, some of them still fell on the protective light curtain, causing it to tremble.
