The two figures flashed and vanished from the clouds, when they reappeared, they were already at the bottom of the ferry’s cargo hold.
Looking at the pitch-black hold, Adam frowned deeply, the unease in his heart was growing even stronger, something brimming with evil seemed to be breeding on this ferry.
"Young Master, do we really have to go down?" Cecilia’s voice carried a hint of worry, she had also sensed that ominous aura.
Adam took a deep breath and nodded firmly. "We must, otherwise, we will never know the source of this unease."
The two carefully walked deeper into the hold, it was pitch black inside, illuminated only by the faint glow of the formation discs in their hands.
Adam sent out his spiritual sense, vigilantly perceiving every minute movement in the surroundings.
The formation discs he carved could not only conceal their auras but also invert the ship’s formation that prohibited spiritual sense probing.
Yet he still couldn’t detect any concrete shapes, the things his spiritual sense felt were merely sticky and viscous, it felt like wading into a thick swamp.
"Young Master, the aura down here is so bizarre." Even without Omniscience of All Things, Cecilia could sense the evil presence below.
"Mhm, be careful!" Adam nodded lightly, though he felt puzzled internally, when they first boarded the ship, why hadn’t Omniscience of All Things warned him? Why did he only feel it now? Because of this lack of initial warning, Adam hadn’t bothered inspecting the ship from the moment they boarded.
The space inside the hold was much larger than Adam imagined, stacked high with cargo, it resembled a maze, with a complex network of passages connecting various unknown areas.
They carefully advanced along one of the passages, every step filled with vigilance.
Suddenly, a gust of gloomy wind blew past, carrying a hair-raising whistle, it felt as if something was spying on them from the dark.
Adam frowned slightly, a faint golden light radiated from the formation disc, forming a protective barrier that enveloped the two of them, he stared intently into the surrounding darkness, trying to catch any abnormal movements.
However, the darkness within the hold seemed to devour everything, even the sound of their breathing appeared to be swallowed up.
"Young Master, I feel something up ahead." Cecilia’s face grew solemn.
Adam nodded, signaling her not to panic, with a raise of his hand, a golden flame materialized. Great Sun Golden Flame!
The Great Sun Golden Flame was supremely masculine and rigid, against dark and evil entities, it possessed a natural, absolute suppressive effect.
The barrier from earlier was precisely his application of the Great Sun Golden Flame.
Suddenly, a black shadow darted out from the darkness at astonishing speed.
Adam was quick-sighted and deft-handed, a golden light shot out and struck the shadow directly.
The sharp sound of burning echoed as the Great Sun Golden Flame instantly engulfed the entire shadow.
Accompanied by a miserable, blood-curdling shriek, the shadow was burned to nothingness, only a faint scorch mark was left on the ground.
"What was that thing?" Cecilia exclaimed, her brows locked tight.
Adam crouched down and carefully inspected the mark on the floor, after the black shadow was incinerated by the Great Sun Golden Flame, the remaining trace emitted a faint, foul stench.
"It’s a creature I haven’t seen before, or perhaps it’s not a living creature at all!" Adam said in a deep voice.
The shadow had burned very quickly, but Adam had still caught a clear glimpse of it, wrapped within the black shadow was an incredibly thin humanoid figure, its limbs were as slender as chopsticks, and even its head was just a thin black stick, everything was of the same uniform thinness, bent and folded in on itself, resembling a dog standing on its hind legs, utterly bizarre.
In the darkness, the sound of whistling wind seemed to echo, then, a dense, scuttling sound of crawling rang out.
Adam and Cecilia instantly went on high alert, both pairs of eyes staring into the darkness.
The next second, both of their pupils shrank violently.
In the passage before them, above, below, left, and right, the walls and ceiling were densely packed and crawling with countless black shadows.
Neither master nor servant had trypophobia, yet looking at this writhing mass still made their scalps tingle with sheer numbness.
"Retreat!" Adam didn’t waste any words, he pulled Cecilia and prepared to retreat outside, he didn’t know how many of these bizarre things there were, although their strength was weak, the specific situation inside was still unknown, Adam didn’t want to alert the snake in the grass.
However, those black shadows seemed to sense the duo’s intentions, they let out sharp cries, then surged and rapidly swarmed toward them.
"Young Master, be careful!" Cecilia gripped her spirit sword tightly, ready to respond at any moment.
Adam’s gaze grew solemn, he understood that these black shadows had no intention of letting them leave.
"Then don’t blame me!" Adam had originally wanted to play it safe, get outside, and figure out a long-term plan, but since they couldn’t leave, he would just burn them all to ashes.
"Cecilia, draw your swords!" He shouted softly.
Cecilia immediately understood, besides the spirit sword in her hand, forty-nine spirit swords materialized directly behind her.
A golden flame lit up in Adam’s palm and flew toward the forty-nine spirit swords behind Cecilia.
The golden flames instantly attached themselves to all forty-nine spirit swords.
"Go!" Cecilia pointed her fingers like a sword and swept them forward.
The forty-nine spirit swords shot toward the densely packed black shadows like a rain of swords.
The sword rain pierced through the darkness, carrying fierce momentum, striking straight at the vitals of the black shadows.
As long as a sword even grazed them, the Great Sun Golden Flame would sweep over and burn them to ashes.
The black shadows let out sharp cries, seemingly realizing the danger, but they didn’t scatter and flee, instead, they swarmed toward Adam and Cecilia even more frantically.
"Hmph! Courting death!" Adam snorted coldly, the formation disc in his hand flashed, and a golden barrier appeared in front of them, isolating the black shadows outside.
"Great Sun Golden Flame, burn!" He channeled the Great Sun Golden Flame again, igniting the golden flames attached to the spirit swords, instantly forming a sea of fire that enveloped the black shadows.
