Chapter 845 Captain Polly, Reporting for Duty!
The cowardly ghost chimed in, “Typically, the vision of birds is two to three times that of humans. And if we’re
talking about eagles or other birds with exceptional eyesight, their vision can be over ten times that of humans.”
“Parrots have unique eyes, regardless of their small size… But not only do they have excellent eyesight, but they
can also distinguish colors, shapes, and even ultraviolet rays… Of course, this ability is closely related to the
parrot’s brain.”
In this aspect, Polly was much more powerful than an average bird.
With training, ordinary parrots could learn to speak, ride bicycles, shoot basketballs, and even perform
tricks…
So it was not surprising that Polly could see the tiny markings on the map that were thinner than the hair on an
ant’s leg. Plus, Polly was not just an ordinary parrot.
Proudly, Polly declared, “Yes, I am that powerful.”
Using its claws, it drew a straight line from Spirit Cliff, where the ice pond was located, all the way to Ghost Abyss.
“And here, there are many skeletons!”
The cowardly ghost squinted and faintly saw words that read “Skeleton Valley.”
He quickly grabbed a pen, added more details to the map, and said, “What’s next?”
Polly and the cowardly ghost worked together, with one describing the locations and the other memorizing them,
swiftly plotting their route.
Without satellite positioning, they could only rely on identifying distinctive landmarks to determine if they were

Lilly squatted beside them, her hands wrapped around her knees, attentively studying Michael’s planned
route.
After he finished drawing, Lilly felt a sense of accomplishment. She had acquired practical knowledge and learned
something new!
“Let’s go!” the harem spirit declared. “We’re setting off now!”
Polly shouted, “Captain Polly, reporting for duty! Please remain seated, fasten your seatbelt, and prepare
for takeoff!”
The cowardly ghost pointed in a direction and said, “This way, it’s about 600 to 1200 miles…”
He calculated that it was roughly the same distance as traveling from Alfornada to Panda Province.
There’s a tale of a ghost who could ride the wind and cover a hundred and eight thousand miles in a single night.
The cowardly ghost couldn’t fathom how Ivan managed to travel such a vast distance by himself!
As they journeyed, the wind blew and Polly made a ruckus.
“There’s a red light 0.6 miles ahead, prepare for a speed track, slow down!” Polly squawked.
The cowardly ghost was left speechless.
With a whoosh, they flew over Skeleton Valley, where a bone was lifted by the wind and rolled for half a mile..
Polly was astounded, exclaiming, “There are tens of thousands of roads, and safety comes first! Drive safely, or
your loved ones will be in tears!”
The cowardly ghost scoffed, “Psh!”
As they drew closer to Ghost Abyss, they encountered more and more wandering ghosts on the road.
There was an elderly man slowly walking with a cane, but suddenly, he spun around on the spot thirty times.
“Everyone was confused.
Polly exclaimed, “It’s better to stop for one second than to rush for three minutes—”
“Whoosh!”
Lilly called out in the wind, “Polly, you’ve got it wrong. It’s better to stop for three minutes than to rush for
one second.”
Along their journey, they encountered ghosts with messy hair, falling leaves, and surprised expressions as they
witnessed a group of flying ghosts passing by in the sky.
“What’s going on? Why are there so many ghost generals!” they wondered in amazement.
“Isn’t that Ghost Abyss over there? Why did we end up here… What’s going on?”
“Haven’t you heard? It’s the talk of the underworld! The ancient anomaly that had been dormant for thousands of
years beneath Ghost Abyss has awakened!”
Ghosts nearby gathered in groups, discussing the strange resurgence of Ghost Valley.
“What’s so strange about it?” one ghost asked, wearing a puzzled expression. “I just recently died, so I’m not aware
of anything.”
Another ghost chimed in, “I’m not entirely sure either. I’ve only been dead for two years. All I know is that
something is horrifying beneath the abyss.”
“I’ve been dead for over a decade, lived here for quite some time, so I know a bit! Not long ago, someone ventured
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏminto the abyss and awakened the monsters below…”
Ghost Abyss was a place even ghosts dared not approach.
No one knew who had descended or what lay beneath.
All they knew was that during this period, occasional growls were emanating from the depths of the abyss, akin to
the agonizing screams of those being torn apart.
“Those ghost generals must have been sent to investigate… It seems that the ten Rulers of Hell have gone to
investigate as well.”
Lilly and her companions were oblivious to the conversations among the ghosts.
The cowardly ghost moved at such a high speed that Polly’s feathers were ruffled, and it could not even keep its
eyes open.
Closing its eyes, Polly shouted with its beak wide open, Smooth travels all the way, reaching the ends of the
underworld! We couldn’t have made it without your excellent driving!”
The cowardly ghost ran tirelessly for about two hours, carrying Lilly on its back, until they finally reached the vicinity
of Ghost Valley.
Polly’s feathers were in disarray, and its once–neat feathers were now completely unraveled.
“It’s a distance of 1200 miles, and we reached here in just two hours. You’re flying through the sky, matching the
speed of a plane!”
Lilly extended her hand, allowing Polly to perch on her palm, and gently smoothed out its disheveled feathers.
She asked, “Michael, are we there yet?”
The cowardly ghost examined the map he had drawn and replied, “We should be heading in the right direction…”
Lilly pointed towards the distance and asked, “Polly mentioned a very tall mountain, could that be it?”
As far as their eyes could see, there was a mountain with a vague shadow.
