CHAPTER 110: CHAPTER 110: OCEAN SPRITE

The journey forward, this sea route was extremely secluded, not one that an ordinary captain would take.

Even the leading warship, along with its fleet of cargo ships, took a longer route, extending what could be a one-day journey into two days.

However, this didn’t make much of a difference to Fang Yu.

Luo Kuan sat within the sea vessel, his eyes subtly emitting a dark red glow, as he carefully recorded the route of the sea path.

This mission was all about documenting the path of this sea route.

As long as the route to the marine warlord from the military factory was confirmed and the details handed over to the military, he could complete a joint mission and receive rewards from all three parties.

"Everyone be careful, stay low-key, don’t attract any trouble."

Fang Yu whispered to his crew, urging them to behave themselves.

Yet, it was clear that Fang Yu’s worry was unnecessary.

His crew was well-versed in the art of staying low-key.

Since the Salted Fish joined the cargo fleet, each of them quieted down, behaving quite well.

Even the indigenous sailors on the cargo ships kept a low profile, minding their own business without concerning themselves with their surroundings.

On the other hand, several Blue Star captains were loudly eating and drinking on the sea vessels.

They engaged in lively conversations, not bothered by the slightly dull atmosphere of the journey.

Throughout the fleet, the Blue Star captains were quite noticeable.

...

"Hey buddy, here’s some fruit wine I brought back from the West Qinghai Sea Region, two hundred Copper Coins a bottle, not cheap!"

A Blue Star captain, mistaking Fang Yu for an indigenous person, casually maneuvered his ship to within about 10 meters of the Salted Fish, nearly closing the distance between them.

Then, a Blue Star captain took out a bottle of fruit wine from his side, waved it in front of Fang Yu, and invited him over to their ship for a drink.

Two hundred Copper Coins per bottle was indeed not cheap.

It’s worth noting that even after the crew number on the Salted Fish increased to 26, the supplies for one journey cost only about 600–800 Copper Coins.

Two hundred Copper Coins for a bottle would cover the expenses of several sailors for one journey.

"No need, you all enjoy it."

Fang Yu remained unperturbed, declining the Blue Star captain’s invitation, while subtly steering his vessel further away from the approaching ship.

"Don’t want a drink? Then forget it."

The Blue Star captain shook his head, glanced at Fang Yu and his crew, then turned back to laugh and chat with his sailors:

"These indigenous people are so uninteresting, acting so serious just to transport some cargo, like they’re afraid to say an extra word, boring."

Boring?

The people on the Salted Fish looked at no one, nose to nose, heart to heart, simply ignoring the few Blue Star captains.

It’s better to hope this journey remains boring for you all.

If it gets interesting... you probably couldn’t handle it.

...

Thankfully, although a few Blue Star captains displayed a high-profile demeanor within the fleet,

frequently attracting the attention of "Rong" on the foremost warship, who glanced at the other sea vessels.

This trip turned out to be unexpectedly smooth.

On further reflection, it made sense.

This sea route was indeed a remote one, with no sea vessels typically passing through.

The vice-chairman’s faction specially chose this remote sea route to cover their tracks, and apart from the agitation of the sea below, the fleet encountered no accidents.

"Ahead lies the West Qinghai Sea Region, Captain, once we pass it, we might enter the range of Warlord Island at any time."

Luu Yuan glanced at Fang Yu, his eyes slightly tense, and whispered to Fang Yu.

"Ahead lies the West Qinghai Sea Region?"

Fang Yu looked toward the sea horizon ahead and was slightly surprised.

The West Qinghai Sea Region is generally more dangerous than the Southern Island Sea Region.

Not only are there issues with warlords and aliens, but the energy levels contained within the sea are also higher than those of the Southern Island Sea Region.

At the junction between the West Qinghai Sea Region and Southern Island Sea Region, you can clearly see that the water on the other side appears visibly deeper and murkier.

The water on the Southern Island Sea Region side remains dark blue.

But on the West Qinghai Sea Region side, the water turns a green-gray color, and Fang Yu could even see giant ferocious fish, over ten meters long, suddenly leap out of the water, creating massive waves.

Seeing this, Fang Yu hesitated slightly, then quietly retrieved a Scroll from the panel space.

This Scroll was acquired from a black market cargo ship.

Worth 1000 Silver Coins, it could be considered priceless.

However... for this journey to Warlord Island, Fang Yu decided to activate the Scroll decisively.

He did it very discreetly, the activation of the Scroll’s fluctuating power was masked by the violent agitation of water in the West Qinghai Sea Region.

In the next moment, Fang Yu saw two dark gray spots of light emerge from the Scroll.

Seeing this, Fang Yu didn’t hesitate, directly throwing one of them into the water.

The other one, however, was kept by Fang Yu in his pocket, not discarded carelessly.

Having completed this action, Fang Yu glanced around, noticing no one observing his actions, he let out a faint sigh of relief and relaxed internally.

...

"Everyone be cautious, there might be some sea spirits in the waters ahead; should you encounter them, make sure to eliminate them immediately, otherwise these sea spirits will grow stronger and become quite troublesome."

"Rong" at the front, standing atop the leading warship, scanned around and then addressed the following cargo ships.

"Sea spirits?"

Fang Yu and the others were slightly puzzled.

However, at that moment, just as the sea fleet began to enter the West Qinghai Sea Region, Fang Yu and Luu Yuan’s expressions slightly changed.

The two exchanged glances, both noticing the unusual look in each other’s eyes.

From their extraordinary aqua abilities, they sensed that the dense energy in the water gathered swiftly as the fleet entered the West Qinghai Sea Region.

It seemed as if it had a conscious mind, rapidly concentrating into a highly dense point of energy.

Just as if the sea sensed some kind of virus entering its "body", mobilizing the body’s immune system to start cleansing these invaders.

"Boom!"

At that moment, the concentrated energy point suddenly burst through the surface, rising from the water.

In Fang Yu and others’ sight, a humanoid figure composed entirely of seawater emerged, hovering in mid-air, supported by the waves.

In the next moment, this water-formed being gathered a large amount of seabed energy, compressing it into a basketball-sized water ball.

Then, the figure threw the water ball towards Fang Yu and his group...
