Chapter 212 Dead Sea Tyrant Crab Demon, Treasure Tower Descends [10,000-character mega chapter, seeking monthly passes!]_3
I thought that the strangeness at the airport must have realized something was wrong, too, and they immediately fled by plane, but unfortunately, it was still a little late.
"Mr. Mu, we're done for, we're probably all going to die here today." Deputy Zhao rushed to the deck, his face filled with panic.
"What's the panic? What exactly is going on? What's with Crab Demon Island?"
"It couldn't possibly be because the battle between the Gluttonous Cruise and the Bloody Train caused Crab Demon Island to collapse, could it?"
"And where did this ghostly abomination come from? Such a terrifying aura," Mu Rufeng said.
"Mr. Mu, you should know that Crab Demon Island evolved from the corpse of a Level 9 Ghost Emperor."
"There were rumors that the Crab Demon had actually not left, that it was right beneath Crab Demon Island. It seems the Crab Demon has awakened," explained Deputy Zhao.
"The Crab Demon? This guy's aura is so much stronger than any Ghost Emperor I've seen at Treasure Tower, it even compares to the presence of a Level 9 corporation," Mu Rufeng exclaimed in shock upon hearing this.
"Mr. Mu, quick, don't you still have the Flame Vehicle Card? Use it to restore the Gluttonous Cruise to its Peak status as a Level 9 vessel, and with that, we could certainly break through its ghostly barrier and escape from here," Deputy Zhao suddenly remembered something and suggested with a look of excitement.
Mu Rufeng fell into thought upon hearing this.
Deputy Zhao was right. The Flame Vehicle Card could indeed return the Gluttonous Cruise to its Peak power, or even stronger.
But the scale was completely different from that of the Bloody Train.
Without going into details, compared to the Bloody Train, the amount of soul banknotes burned would have to double at least.
Of course, after the burning, the strength of the Gluttonous Cruise would definitely be greater.
Whether or not they could escape wasn't Mu Rufeng's main concern, as long as there were enough soul banknotes. With the Flame Vehicle Card in hand, there would surely be no problem.
However, he was considering whether he wanted to spend that much soul currency.
When he had one quadrillion soul banknotes, Mu Rufeng could disregard the expense, hence why he had the Bloody Train crush the Gluttonous Cruise in a spending frenzy.
Now, though, this was hard-earned money, and it was uncertain how much would have to be burned this time.
Afterward, Mu Rufeng took out his phone to try making a call, but it was futile as there was no signal.
But he quickly thought of something and immediately used his privileges to turn on the ghostly communications base station.
After turning it on, Mu Rufeng tried calling again, but there still was no signal.
"Damn, there's no signal. Deputy Zhao, is there any way for me to contact the outside world right now?" Mr. Mu spoke up.
He still didn't want to burn through cash, so he prepared to seek outside help.
As long as he could notify Lu Xueqing at Treasure Tower in Qingshan City, she would surely arrive immediately.
With Treasure Tower's assistance, Mu Rufeng didn't believe they couldn't handle the Crab Demon.
If it really wasn't possible to contact the outside world, then Mu Rufeng would just have to reluctantly burn through his funds.
"Captain, the most important thing now is to run away first, once we get out, we can make contact," Deputy Zhao said anxiously.
"As long as we can contact the outside world, the Crab Demon is nothing to worry about," Mu Rufeng said solemnly.
"The base station, right, the base station on the Gluttonous Cruise. As long as we destroy the base station, Ghostly Communications will notice and then use some sort of special communication to inquire about us."
"However, this can only reach people from Ghostly Communications, they won't help us contact anyone else," Deputy Zhao added.
"Oh? We can reach Ghostly Communications? Good, where is the base station?" Mr. Mu asked immediately.
"Up there," Deputy Zhao pointed upwards.
Following his gaze, Mu Rufeng saw a metal frame erected at the very top of the cockpit.
Mu Rufeng had seen it before and thought it was a lightning rod; he hadn't expected it to be a base station.
"Good." Mu Rufeng nodded, waved his hand, and a bolt of thunder burst forth, immediately destroying the base station.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
After ten seconds, Mu Rufeng's phone began to ring.
"It's Ghostly Communications; they'll automatically identify the person with the highest position on the ship," Deputy Zhao quickly said.
Without hesitation, Mu Rufeng answered the phone.
"Respected Black Gold Card user, Captain Mu of the Gluttonous Cruise, has the base station aboard the Gluttonous Cruise been destroyed?" a voice came through from the other end.
"Yes, I destroyed it. Now, immediately help me contact Lu Xueqing from Treasure Tower in Qingshan City, tell her Mu Rufeng is here, at Crab Demon Island, and to come to save me," Mu Rufeng spoke.
"Very well, Mr. Mu, I'll relay that for you immediately. Do you have any other instructions?"
"That's all, hurry up."
The call ended, and Deputy Zhao immediately approached, "Mr. Mu, how did it go? How long will it take?"
"The Crab Demon is about to awaken, Crab Demon Island has already collapsed," Deputy Zhao said with an anxious look on his face.
Rocks continued to fall from the sky, hitting the top of the Gluttonous Cruise.
Although there was no impact on the ghostly shield of the Gluttonous Cruise, the constant collapsing of the mountain still felt desperate.
Most importantly, the aura of the Crab Demon was getting stronger and stronger.
"We just wait," Mu Rufeng said gravely.
He wasn't worried that Ghostly Communications wouldn't help him find Lu Xueqing. Otherwise, his status as a Black Gold Cardholder would be worthless.
Deputy Zhao, still very anxious, heard those words.
Mu Rufeng looked down at the bottom of the Gluttonous Cruise.
The ground was gone, with massive amounts of seawater surging forth.
Soon, a gigantic, dark entity emerged from beneath the water.
Huge rocks fell from the sky, hit the entity, and then shattered instantly.
A roar came up from below.
