Chapter 178

When Romon opened the door and came to the airship's cabin corridor, the whole person was severely disgusted by the scene here.

I saw that the walls of the corridor cabin were covered with pieces of emerald green moss, and black root-like substances grew on the moss, as if the entire airship was entangled by the roots of a big tree.

Romon used his fangs to try to cut off a piece of black root.

As a result, the toughness of the other party was beyond imagination, and the fangs cut through it, leaving no traces.

"The current airships are like those ships that have suffered shipwrecks in the deep sea. They have been immersed in the bottom of the water for many years, and then eroded by the seawater and the microorganisms in the sea."

Romon walked slowly in the long corridor of the airship.

All the changes happened after encountering that ghost ship in the sky.

The person who may know the situation now is the captain of the airship.

After all, the other party asked everyone not to watch the ghost ship on the deck. Obviously, they knew something or heard the legend of the ghost ship.

Romon thought for a while and walked towards the control room of the airship.

The entire airship was silent, without the previous hustle and bustle, as if it had sunk into eternal sleep.

This made Romon secretly think in his heart.

The other people in the cabin should not have a high chance of surviving now.

I don't know how the living corpse that looked like the essence was sucked out just now.

crunch.

Just as he walked past the cabin, a wooden door next to him suddenly collapsed.

There was a faint moan inside.

Romon turned around and found a passenger lying on the floor, covered with rotten green moss, as if sucking his blood.

He rubbed his body indiscriminately, trying to peel the moss off his skin, but with little success.

Moss grows much faster than it sheds.

The moss was indeed sucking his blood.

With the passage of time, his whole body was shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it would not be long before he would turn into the living corpse that Romon had seen before.

Seeing this person's condition, Romon immediately checked his body, and it turned out that there was also a small piece of moss attached to his body. It was not much, but it was very hidden.

Moreover, these moss are extremely stubborn and cannot be removed by ordinary methods.

Romon tried to get rid of it with psionic energy, but with little success.

In the end, he smeared a layer of strong poison directly on the skin, and the moss withered to black and fell to the ground.That is to say, his body's poison resistance is high, so he can use this method. If other people face the erosion of moss, they are basically helpless.

After solving the physical problem, Romon came to the man.

There was still divine light looming in the other's eyes, but he did not lose all consciousness, and his face covered with moss showed a painful expression.

Romon understood the meaning of the other party's expression.

He thought for a while, and smeared a lot of poison on the man's face and skin from the bottle of poison in his arms, and the moss finally fell off piece by piece, but the man had already sucked too much blood before, and now with the poison eroded, even if Romon immediately After detoxifying him, he could only die soon.

The man took a deep breath, and after the pain in his body disappeared, his brain finally regained consciousness.

"thanks……"

The other party squirmed, trying to lean against the wall as much as possible, sitting up straight, and then straightened the folds of the collar with both hands.

Romon didn't beat around the bush and told him the situation directly: "Although the poison on your body has been removed, your body has been hurt too deeply and you won't be able to live for long. Do you know what happened on the airship?"

The corner of the man's mouth twitched, "I don't know, these things all came out suddenly, all at once!"

He spoke in fits and starts, and his breathing was extremely uneven.

And every time he uttered a word, a very painful expression appeared on his face, as if his whole body had been drained of strength.

Romon wanted to ask a few more questions.

As a result, when he took a closer look, the man had died.

After Romon closed his eyes, he exited the room, his vigilance greatly increased.

He wanted to go to the control room to have a look, but thinking of the situation here, it is not clear whether there are any living people on the ship, and it is very likely that he will miss it if he goes there rashly.

With a heavy mind, Romon walked to the deck.

As soon as it came out, the dull and bloody smell came out, suspended in the air.

Looking up, the ghost ship that disappeared before went back and forth, and it was suspended just above the airship. The red clouds lingering around the ghost ship covered the airship, and there were countless black roots sticking out from the ship. The airships were entangled.

It felt like the airship was being swallowed by a ghost ship.

Romon looked up and found that on the top of the ghost ship, on the edge of the ship surrounded by countless dead birds and corpse birds, a black shadow was standing in it, and his scarlet eyes looked at the airship.

Romon was very sure that he was not mistaken, it was indeed just a black shadow, not a special creature. The other party was like a wriggling darkness, exuding an evil aura, staring at the airship with malicious eyes, like A demon that wants to devour people.

When Romon saw the shadow, a chill rose in his heart.

This is biological aversion.

He didn't stay on the deck for a long time, and quickly retreated, but there was a cold buzzing sound in his mind: "Amanda Es... Amanda Es..."

The black shadow's face, which was originally nothing, suddenly cracked a hideous mouth, and kept repeating the word.

Weird intonation, with unique rhythm, makes people dizzy.

Romon hurriedly used his psionic energy to dispel the dizziness in his brain, his thoughts turned sharply, and he wanted to return to the deck immediately.

However, before he acted, another voice sounded in his heart:
"Help me, I can take you away."

The sound was extremely weak.

It was like a grieving woman was crying, but because it sounded directly in her heart, Romon could hear it clearly.

Thinking about it, Romon was able to perceive the existence of these things because he acquired the ability to perceive mentally.

He looked at the ghost ship in the sky above his head with fear, and found that the eerie black shadow standing on the bow had disappeared, leaving only the big brass bell that looked like it was poured with blood, and made a shrill bell from time to time.

Romon didn't stop, and quickly returned to the cabin.

He could feel that if he stayed on deck, something extremely bad would happen.

The degree of erosion of the airship is deepening, and he must hurry up, otherwise, when the airship sinks, it will be more fortunate.

Following the guidance of the voice in his heart, Romon turned several turns in a row, and finally came to a door that was locked with iron chains.

This appears to be where the steam engine is stored, but there is a big "seal" written on the door.

Although it was a tin cabin, the walls were covered with moss at the moment.

The iron gate was also corroded beyond appearance.

With a casual kick, Romon kicked open the fragile iron door. It was pitch black and couldn't see anything clearly, but he could smell the smell of burning flames.

Take an Illuminating Charm from your hand to activate.

In an instant, a flash of fire appeared around, and Romon could see the situation in the room clearly.

There is a thick metal pipe in each of the four corners of the room.

There are also many mechanical fasteners inlaid on the wall, which are fixed with slender small iron pipes, and there is a huge furnace in the middle.

The furnace has a column-shaped appearance, the bottom is hollowed out, and there are many burning objects like charcoal.Because of the special angle, the fire in the furnace hardly leaked out, which made the room so dark.

And above the furnace.

There is actually a huge mechanical heart suspended.

The appearance of this heart is hot and red, and its body shape is almost the same as that of half an adult. The heat from the furnace pours into the mechanical heart, and the four ports of the heart are connected to the four largest steam pipes in the room.

This place is like a human heart.

Could this be the heart of the airship, where energy and power are provided?The airship can really fly in the sky, is it with this heart?

I heard that the Church of Steam and the Church of the Eternal Furnace have researched a technology called magic kinetic energy, and this mechanical heart is likely to be a unique product made by them!

"It's you who are talking to me?"

Romon looked at the mechanical heart, the other party was suspended above the furnace, although it looked like a dead thing, but Romon this thing must be alive.

as predicted.

After he asked the question, the mechanical heart was twisted for a while, and then the faint voice sounded again.

"Yes, please help me. The monsters on the ghost ship are invading me. If I don't stop it in time, I may stop working! We will be completely devoured by then."

The voice of the heart resounded from Romon's heart again.

Luo Meng asked in a deep voice, "What exactly are you?"

"I am the core of this airship, the steam engine! Without me, this airship would stop. You can also think of the airship as my body. You are all in my stomach now. ." The voice of the mechanical heart sounded in Romon's heart, but the tone of voice was obviously normal, but it gave people an inexplicable feeling of horror.

Romon took a step back: "Then what happened to the airship now?"

"Weird, this is the weird pollution in those legends! Usually it only appears in uninhabited areas of sea and land, rarely in human activity areas. I need you to help me, help me untie the bondage here, I Only then can we drive the airship with all our strength and escape with you."

The speed of the mechanical heart became faster: "The pollution on the hull will gradually disappear when it leaves the scope of the ghost ship. We are running out of time, we must hurry up."

Hearing the mechanical heart say that, Romon turned and asked, "Then how should I let you out?"

"As long as I break these chains, I can come out. They restrain me and prevent me from driving the airship with all my strength. Are you an Awakener? This is not difficult for you!"

The mechanical heart urged.

"Okay, I'll let you out now." Romon slowly approached the huge furnace, but just when the mechanical heart couldn't wait, he pressed a red button next to the furnace.

Furnaces are not without consoles.

Romon took a careful look and found that "Eternal Furnace Church Produced" was written next to it, and there were three buttons under this line, all of which were explained.

The white button is off fire, the green button is on fire.

As for the last red button, it can only be used in emergencies, and the specific effects are not listed.

Judging from Romon's superficial knowledge of mechanics and mysticism, the mechanical heart and the furnace are closely related.

So this heart cries for help.

Press the red button by yourself, just to try out how the heart reacts.

In the end, who knew that after he pressed the red button, the mechanical heart suddenly vibrated violently, and an angry voice sounded in Romon's heart: "Damn, what did you press!"

Luo Meng rolled his eyes: "Didn't I want to save you? It's written next to the red button. Press it when there is an emergency. Now it's an emergency."

Hearing Romon's calm answer, the mechanical heart only felt that it was about to explode.

what a man!
Who the hell is this!
How can there be such a guy?
It was about to use its psychic power to affect this weird human being again, making him follow his own path unknowingly. As a result, at this time, the mechanical heart almost stopped beating.

That weird human actually pressed it several times in front of it.

"Why do you keep pressing?"

The mechanical heart roared angrily.

Luo Meng smiled lightly, "Can't I just play it for fun? Why are you in a hurry?"

moment.

This mechanical heart finally understands that he has been tricked!

This treacherous and cunning human being has already discovered the anomaly, and will use it for entertainment!
But now it is too late.

I saw that after Romon repeatedly and frantically pressed the red button dozens of times, the huge column furnace made a clicking sound, and then went out directly.

The flames burning inside were completely extinguished, the heat in the furnace disappeared, and the mechanical heart that survived on the heat also cooled rapidly, and the hot red iron sheet turned black again, as if it had lost its previous miraculousness.

Romon approached the mechanical heart and stuck a scorching sun amulet on it, and then countless flames exploded.

But I thought that the scorching sun talisman should have some effect, but it was not able to leave a trace on this mechanical heart.

The opponent was terribly strong.

Romon thought for a moment, then burst out the spiritual energy in his body and punched the mechanical heart.

Click!

This time, it had already gone through a violent energy shock, and with Romon's Dingding punch, it finally shattered.

No matter what the role of this mechanical heart is, it has obviously been eroded by weirdness long ago and turned into an inexplicable strange thing.If you don't take the opportunity to kill it at this time, it will only be more troublesome later.

Whether or not the mechanical heart is the engine of an airship, or what it knows.

Killed a hundred.

After the mechanical heart was smashed open by a punch, some bright silver spar, an extremely complex mechanical structure, and a mixture of various animal bones and blood were revealed inside, like a hodgepodge of things.

Luo Meng frowned, the essence of this heart is obviously those few spar.

Even if it was just so far away, he could feel the spiritual energy overflowing from it.Without hesitation, Romon wrapped a few spar stones in the cloth next to him and quickly left the place.

Just as Romon rushed out of the room.

At the end of the corridor, there was a burly man, who had unique protective measures on his body. He should have applied some medicine and was not eroded by the strange moss that can be seen everywhere.And on his shoulders was a man who was also a passenger on the airship, but his skin was covered with moss.

It looked like he was dying.

Romon walked out of the room and just bumped into this man.There was a hint of alertness in the eyes of the two of them, and the man with the bushy beard spoke first: "My name is Okaban, and I am a staff member on the airship. If you are also a survivor, you can go to the captain's room with me. All The survivors are all there.

Lady Isaiah was able to cure diseases caused by black moss. "

It seemed that the survivors on the airship were all gathered in one place.That's why Romon didn't see anyone else in the airship.

The poor man he had seen before was obviously a slippery fish that could still be found.

In the face of the strong man's invitation.

It was naturally impossible for Romon to refuse. In the current situation, everyone must unite to find life, and the other party knew the name of Moss, more information than he knew.

Following behind the man, Romon asked casually, "Do you know where the airship used to be?"

"This room, I heard that it seems to be the original engine room, but it has long been abandoned, and the back is used as a utility room, and few people come here."

Okawa said thoughtfully.

Luo Meng frowned, his eyes swept across the room obscurely, but this swipe really surprised him.

The wreckage of the mechanical heart inside disappeared, and not even a trace was left. There was only a pillar furnace that had been extinguished for a long time.

"what happened?"

Okaban followed Romon's gaze.

Luo Meng smiled, "It's nothing, I'm just curious about the furnace that looks like a pillar."

"It was produced by the Church of the Everlasting Furnace. Several major airship companies in the empire all have their shares. Without their technology, airships would be difficult to build."

Okawa explained to Romon.

The two didn't say much, walked through the complex cabin, and soon came to the captain's room of the airship.

On the way, the green moss called "black moss" did not affect Okaban. The other party applied the medicine given by the doctor, which could temporarily avoid the erosion of the black moss.

Captain's room.

When the two pushed the door open, the smell of potion filled the air.

There were rows of bunks on the ground, and there were many patients lying one by one. A doctor who looked a little like a gypsy girl was treating the injuries of these patients.

And beside.

The captain of the airship, whom Romon had seen before, had a sad face at the moment, comforting the other passengers who had not been eroded by the black moss.

The opponent looked dejected.

It can be seen that this guy also does not have any confidence in the current situation.

Romon sat next to him, "Captain, what's the situation now? What's the origin of that ghost ship?"

The man, who was about 50 years old, had gray eyes: "It's a legendary devil ship. Anyone who sees it will encounter bad luck. I just heard the old sailors who go to sea all the year round say However, I thought it was just a legend, but who would have thought that it would actually happen.”

The captain sighed, "I heard that everyone who has seen the ghost ship will be chased by the ghost ship and eventually become a slave on the ghost ship. Even after death, the soul will be detained on the ship, Can't return to the kingdom of God."

Luo Meng frowned and came to the captain: "Now there are so many lives on this airship, you just gave up? Even if you don't think about others, you should think about yourself. Think about it.

Where is the control room?

Can this airship still operate? "

The captain murmured for a moment, "It should still be able to drive. If it erupts at full speed, maybe it can really get rid of this ghost ship. This is the airspace of Jianhai, and this ghost ship will not stay here for too long. But I want to enter. It was impossible to control the room, which was already covered with black moss, and there were ghost-like monsters.

Two Tier [-] Awakeners have been there before, but they haven't come back yet, and they are obviously dead inside. "

Two Tier [-]s?

Thinking about it, it should be the Awakened in the White Tower, and he couldn't even get a control room.

Luo Meng frowned and continued to ask: "How long can this airship last under the current situation?"

The captain made a rough estimate, and then reported a not-so-good number.

About an hour left.

This is still under the condition that the airship can hold on, and the actual situation is that it may fall at any time.

At this critical juncture, two Awakeneds who were also from the White Tower approached Romon and discussed whether they could go to the control room and make the airship move again.
