The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

The collision that Wu Xie had imagined never happened, and time passed little by little.

Five minutes later, Wu Xie's back was completely soaked with cold sweat.

Wu Xie thought that the ghost ship should leave by now, no matter what.

He then turned slightly to the side, glancing around out of the corner of his eye.

Wu Xie suddenly noticed that two withered hands had appeared on A Ning's shoulders.

It continued like this, stretching towards the deck, like a cloak.

It was tightly draped over A Ning's back, and at this moment A Ning's body began to tremble.

Wu Xie's mind was completely blank; he had no idea what had happened.

All you could hear was the boat captain muttering something behind you.

It's as if they're praying to their god Zuma again.

Wu Xie only heard two clinking sounds, as if something had been thrown onto the deck.

Then came only a sigh from the boat captain.

It seems something bad is about to happen.

Before Wu Xie could react, A Ning suddenly screamed and vanished from her spot in an instant.

Wu Xie suddenly looked up, having already forgotten A Ning's instructions.

Fortunately, the ghost ship had already headed away in the opposite direction from the main ship in the next second.

Wu Xie acted impulsively at that moment, not caring about anything else, and stood up and rushed forward.

The boat captain grabbed Wu Xie and pinned him to the ground.

"Stop thinking about it. If you encounter a ghost ship during the journey, those who are taken away by the ghost ship will never come back. Don't go and throw your life away in vain."

"The boatman shouted."

Wu Xie was pinned to the ground and had no way to escape the boatman's control.

Old Zhang suddenly rushed out and, with all his might, threw the anchor straight toward the ghost ship.

Old Zhang pulled out his sidearm and pointed it at the boat captain.

“Mr. Wu is counting on you. Go and bring Aning back right away.”

Old Zhang quickly replied.

Wu Xie was in a state of utter panic.

Whether he wants to go to save him or not is his business. If he wants to go, I will naturally not stop him. If he doesn't want to go, you'd better shut your mouth.

Fang Yun appeared on the deck and said casually.

"Mr. Fang, this..."

Old Zhang felt a mix of emotions.

It turns out that when Lao Zhang called the boss earlier, he was asking questions.

I heard a woman's voice.

I just conveyed a message to him.

That means we will follow Mr. Fang Yun (Wang Hao)'s instructions for this entire trip.

If anyone disobeys, they will be expelled from the Huo family.

"Sir, the people taken away on this ghost ship are truly gone forever. Please don't drag us all down with you. We have elderly parents and young children to support. Please, have mercy and let us cut this rope. Can't we just take you out for free?"

The boat captain almost burst into tears.

"What's the panic? What's there to panic about? Wu Xie, you need to think this through carefully. Do you really want to save Li?"

Fang Yun patted Wu Xie on the shoulder.

Wu Xie didn't know how to answer for a moment, and his heart was in turmoil.

Finally, Wu Xie managed to squeeze out two words.

"I go."

"Since this is your own choice, I won't say anything more. Just pack this up; it will be very useful when it's crucial."

Fang Yun handed Wu Xie a piece of jade from his bosom.

.......

Chapter 258 Ghost Ship!

At this moment, Wu Xie naturally didn't stand on ceremony and nodded as he accepted the jade from Fang Yun's hand.

He ran quickly toward the rope, and Wu Xie crawled toward the boat bit by bit while holding onto the rope.

Despite the short 30-meter rope, Wu Xie felt as if he had run for more than an hour, his entire body soaked in sweat.

Wu Xie couldn't tell whether the sweat on his body was from sweat or seawater splashed up by the waves.

Wu Xie looked closely and realized that what was in front of him was a ghost ship!

Just then, a wave crashed heavily against Wu Xie, making him dizzy and disoriented. He quickly took a breath.

Wu Xie was thus thrown underwater. Whether due to excessive tension or some other reason, Wu Xie opened his eyes.

He witnessed a scene he would never forget in his life: a long iron chain stretched from the bottom of the ghost ship all the way to the seabed.

Wu Xie looked closely at the iron chain; it seemed that something was hanging from the end of the chain.

Just then, the rope pulled Wu Xie out. Wu Xie gasped for breath, feeling grateful for the rest of his life.

Due to the force of the rope, Wu Xie was pulled out and was slightly higher than the deck of the ghost ship.

Wu Xie saw that A Ning was being slowly dragged by two hands in a strange posture, heading towards the cabin of the ghost ship.

Wu Xie could tell from 607 that A Ning had lost all consciousness and was being dragged along like this.

Wu Xie didn't care about anything else at this moment, and quickly flipped over to step onto the deck of the ghost ship.

Wu Xie was a little puzzled.

"I didn't feel any impact when the ghost ship crashed into it. Logically speaking, this ghost ship shouldn't be a corpse anymore. Why was I able to get on this ghost ship? And the feeling of stepping onto the ghost ship is not much different from that on the original ship."

However, saving lives was the priority at this moment, and Wu Xie couldn't care less about all the strange things.

Wu Xie walked on the creaking deck, which looked as if it had been soaked in seawater for many years and was in a state of disrepair.

Wu Xie was afraid that if he stepped too hard, he would collapse the deck.

Wu Xie hurriedly searched for A Ning's location, when he suddenly saw A Ning being dragged into the depths of the cabin by those hands.

When Wu Xie looked inside the cabin, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

Wu Xie reached into his pockets, but found he had nothing with him, not even a flashlight or a knife.

With no other option, Wu Xie could only hold onto A Ning's legs tightly.

Unexpectedly, with her wetsuit on and the seawater washing over her, Ah Ning's legs became as slippery as an eel.

Wu Xie couldn't hold on at all, and it looked like A Ning was about to be dragged into the cabin.

Wu Xie couldn't care less about anything else at this moment, and directly hugged A Ning. The weight of the two of them increased instantly when they hugged each other.

This caused the already rotten deck to collapse instantly.

The hands that were holding Ah Ning seemed unwilling to give up, and they attacked Wu Xie.

The moment those hands touched Wu Xie, a shrill scream pierced the night sky.

Those withered hands miraculously disappeared.

……

on board.

"Gentlemen, please let us go. We have elderly parents and young children to support, and we really can't afford to take such a risk. Can't we just forget about the money? Please let us sail the ship back. People who get on the ghost ship never come back. No one has ever tied their ship to a ghost ship before. Nobody knows what the final outcome will be?"

The boat captain spoke tremulously, his voice trembling with a hint of tears.

Old Zhang looked at Fang Yun.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. When we get back, I'll make them pay you three times the price. Just stay here quietly and don't cause any trouble. When that kid brings that woman back, I'll make him put down his gun."

Fang Yun said calmly.

The captain and crew felt helpless when they heard Fang Yun say this, but there was nothing they could do.

Who told Old Zhang to point a gun at them?

Even if they move very fast, they can't outrun a bullet, and besides, who doesn't value their life (bjbd)?

No one wants to be the first to stick their neck out.

At this moment, the deck was completely silent; you could even hear everyone's heartbeat.

Fang Yun looked in the direction of the ghost ship, lost in thought.
