Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1205 - 544: Competing for the Heart Core

Liang Yuan stared in astonishment at Huang Guangzu before him.

It seemed to him that he had misheard.

Who would have believed that a Superpower User with a Light Attribute would admit to being afraid of the dark?

But Liang Yuan quickly understood, nodding as he said, "Then follow me."

Fear of the dark isn't something to be ashamed of; most people experience it.

However, as a Superpower User, one should possess considerably more bravery than an average person.

But Huang Guangzu had endured two days within the Shadow Realm and was thoroughly tormented.

His fear of darkness wasn't merely a literal dread.

He was genuinely suffering from the oppressive gloom.

Upon hearing Liang Yuan's words, Huang Guangzu didn't display much delight but couldn't refrain from inquiring, "Mr. Liang, this place is quite perilous; is there a need to proceed further?"

He still wished to persuade them to depart together.

He truly had no desire to remain there for even another moment.

Liang Yuan shook his head. "We seek fortune amidst danger; it's impossible to achieve rewards without taking risks."

"Allow me to remind you, on the path ahead, we might confront that formidable black dragon again. Do you still intend to proceed?"

Huang Guangzu immediately trembled, the light emanating from his body flickering erratically, much like a faulty bulb.

He hesitated repeatedly, cast another glance at the pitch-black island, and finally clenched his teeth, stating, "Never mind, Mr. Liang. If I accompany you, I might become a liability."

"If I encounter that black dragon once more, I'll likely be doomed."

Liang Yuan chuckled. "Then you should depart from this island first. When I arrived, I surveyed the area; the majority of the island remains secure, and I observed no Shadow Beasts."

"As a Light Attribute Superpower User, you shouldn't get lost in the darkness."

Huang Guangzu nodded. "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Liang. Once I'm safely out, how can I contact you?"

"Once you are clear of the island, find a secure location and await me. I will naturally seek you out."

"Alternatively, you could make your way directly to Yangshan; that is my domain. Upon arrival, someone will attend to your needs."

"Alright, I shall wait for you outside. If there's no other recourse, I'll proceed to Yangshan."

Liang Yuan nodded, and with that, the two parted ways.

Liang Yuan's form dissolved into the enveloping darkness, advancing swiftly along the canyon's watercourse.

Simultaneously, he continuously monitored the ebb and flow of Dark Attribute energy, diligently searching for the region with the most concentrated presence of Dark Attribute energy.

Not long after, he reached the terminus of the canyon.

Within the pitch-black expanse, he instantly detected those colossal ships looming ahead!

"It's them after all!"

Upon sighting these vessels, Liang Yuan let out an immediate sneer.

He was intimately familiar with these ships; he had noticed them even before setting foot on the island.

Liang Yuan surveyed his surroundings, observing some non-combat personnel stationed aboard the ships.

Likely due to the profound darkness that permeated the area, the feeble firelight was insufficient to illuminate the surroundings.

These stationed crew members huddled together, engaging in conversation to bolster their spirits.

Liang Yuan swept his Spiritual Power over them, confirming they were all ordinary Superpower Users, none having even solidified into Genetic Species.

Witnessing this, Liang Yuan sneered, his form flickered, and he was already aboard one of the ships.

"When do you suppose the captain and the others will return?"

"They've been inside for two or three days now; I hope nothing untoward has occurred."

"It shouldn't be. The Lord of the Wilderness Guardians is one of the three archbishops. Furthermore, it's not solely our Earth Mother Sect; the Water God Sect, the Spiritual Ability Sect, and prominent military figures also ventured in. And there's that faction from Furong Valley in Ji'an City, not to mention that Baoshan's influence is considerable as well."

"With so many individuals involved, even if danger arises, we shouldn't be completely annihilated."

"Sigh, that's precisely what I fear – their potential infighting."

"Uh, you mean they might have turned on each other?"

"No way."

"Why not? When faced with personal gain, who in their right mind can restrain themselves?"

"Exactly. Two days ago, they clashed near the cave, resulting in the demise of several individuals from the Spiritual Ability Sect."

"Speaking of that terrifying clamor from two days prior, what do you think it was?"

"Damn it, in this pitch-black abyss, who can possibly know?"

"Sigh, I absolutely cannot endure another second in this dreadful place."

"Same here. Damn it all, if I had known beforehand, I would never have accepted this assignment."

...The group conversed in hushed tones, with none showing any inclination to undertake patrol duties.

It was a ludicrous thought; in this lightless expanse, to venture on patrol—if nothing were amiss, it might be fine, but what if something happened?

It was certainly safer for everyone to remain clustered together.

"Thud!"

Suddenly, a jarring noise emanated from the ship's bow.

Instantly, all conversation ceased.

The very next moment, every individual present shivered uncontrollably.

"What was that sound?"

"Something's definitely amiss!"

"Old Li, go and investigate."

"Damn it, why don’t you go?"

"Stop arguing, let’s go together, move!"

"Damn, is it an ambush from people on another ship?"

"Would they dare?"

The group immediately stood up, fumbling in the darkness. Holding torches, they proceeded towards the ship's bow.

However, the torches were indeed burning, but the light could not extend outwards. It seemed as though there was only flame, bereft of any halo.

How to describe it? It resembled burning coals, possessing fire but emitting no light.

They were all Superpower Users; carrying these torches was merely to bolster their courage.

At this crucial moment, they had reached the deck. Old Li shouted fiercely, "Who’s there, come out!"

Liang Yuan stood not far away, observing this spectacle, and shook his head slightly.

It was no wonder this group was left behind; they lacked the experience to counter threats.

He then transformed his Spiritual Power into a colossal hand.

Boom!

The giant hand of Spiritual Power descended fiercely, instantly conjuring a whirlwind!

The seven or eight stationed personnel were promptly swept off the ship by the Spiritual Power hand.

"Ah—"

"Help—"

"There’s a ghost, there’s a ghost!"

The group erupted in screams, plummeting from the towering ship amidst terrified cries.
