He Became a Salted Fish After Inheriting Millions of Secret Arts

A vertical ventilation shaft. There was an iron ladder on the wall of the well, and the snake slowly swam down the ladder. Duan Feizhuo smelled a faint stench coming from below, he couldn't have smelled it wrong, it was the stench of corpses.

He also climbed down the ladder. The snake led him all the way to the bottom, and then into a horizontal pipe. The tunnel was so narrow that he could hardly move an inch. It was more like wriggling than crawling. The sword in the stone kept bumping into the pipe, wailing non-stop.

After a lot of work, the pipeline finally came to an end. The front is no longer a fork in the road or a dead end, but a grille. Duan Feizhuo climbed to the grille and blasted it with a shock wave.

He squeezed himself out of the pipe like toothpaste.

It was pitch black all around, not even a little light. Duan Feizhuo had to use secret techniques to create a temporary artificial light source. It was very energy consuming, but he has plenty of energy now.

He was on the bottom floor of the airship, which looked like an equipment room dedicated to storing various mechanical equipment. The rumble of machinery running over Duan Feizhuo's eardrums.

The snake rustled away, and Duan Feizhuo followed it. They turned to the back of a machine, and three lying corpses appeared in front of them.

He knew the two closest people to Duan Feizhuo, and they were the soldiers who accompanied the colonel to the island. Both had been dead for a long time, one of them had a bullet hole between his eyebrows, and the other had half of the back of his head blasted off.

Duan Feizhuo made a good guess. After returning to the airship, the two soldiers who were lucky enough to wake up did not receive the courtesy of heroes, but were executed immediately.

The third body had its back to him, its hands bound firmly behind its back.

He walked towards the corpse, touched the other person's shoulder lightly, and then withdrew his hand sharply.

This is not a corpse, but a living person. The body is still warm and still breathing.

Duan Feizhuo gently turned the man around and put him in a lying position.

Then he witnessed a scene that only occurs in nightmares.

— This man has no face.

Except for the mouth, the facial features were missing, and the parts of the face that should have bumps and ups and downs were all covered with only a layer of skin, like a doll that hadn't had time to sculpt the facial features.

And his mouth is not a human mouth, more like a hole for breathing and eating.

This man was wearing a military uniform, and the epaulettes showed that he was a colonel.

There was only one colonel on board the Wellington.

He fell into the sea.

Falling into the water from such a high place is almost like being shot on the ice.

If it weren't for his low perception of pain, every inch of his body would be screaming for pain.

After sinking into the water, it felt much better. He is also very insensitive to the perception of heat and cold, so he doesn't feel how biting the sea water is. On the contrary, the sea water gently wrapped him and submerged his body, just like a mother who never rejects her children and always embraces them in her arms.

It was pitch black underwater, and he couldn't see anything.

Something in his chest was beating, rising and falling, like a heart beating.

It's strange, he obviously has no heart.

Deep below him, something else was pulsating along with his "heartbeat".

thump. thump. thump.

The frequencies merge into one, as if they were one.

He looked down into the endless abyss.

In the abyss, a blood-colored eye slowly opened and met his gaze.

At that moment, he suddenly understood. Without any words or actions, just eye contact, he understood the meaning of the other party.

—It turns out that you also have ether crystals in your body.
