Chapter 174: Sea Voyage
Chapter 174: Sea Voyage
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Dawn Vessel traveled on the magical sea.
They traveled further and further away from the continent. When they could no longer see the continent, some people started to gulp. In just a few hours, the sunny and the cloudless weather had disappeared.
The wind had grown stronger.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky.
At that moment,
A flash of lightning appeared, and the roar of thunder could be heard.
Thunder continued to rumble in the sky.
It was as if they had stepped from one world to another.
In the distance, massive waves as tall as 100 meters had formed. The monstrous and oppressive aura caused everyone to feel very small.
Some NPCs, in particular, could even clearly sense the strong magic within the waves. It was as if this strong magic had caused the waves to be so vicious.
But it was at this moment when the players witnessed the strength of the Dawn Vessel.
No matter how great the waves were.
No matter how swift and violent the storm was.
The Dawn Vessel cruised like a fortress moving on water. It continued to travel in the boundless sea.
No matter what kind of waves it came across,
The epic warship faced it all. It navigated the vast sea unbridled.
Some sea beasts that were a few or even several dozen meters tall occasionally jumped out from the ocean. They widened their eyes and stared at the creatures on the ship.
It was as if they were waiting for food to drop off the ship.
Luckily, the Dawn Vessel continued to release the might of the dragon, and the sea beasts did not attack the ship. Even if the ship were to be attacked, the high defense of the ship would take care of it. These sea beasts would not be able to cause much damage.
Many people on the deck started to sway, and some even started to vomit.
The players grabbed the anchor lines in fear. They were afraid that they would be swept away by the winds and the waves.
Even if they could revive on the ship, they could not retrieve the equipment they had lost.
On the other hand, William was steady. He looked as if he had been on a ship since he was young. He seemed used to it.
A silver quality compass lay in his hand, and he looked at the moving needle. He then braved the storm and looked at the sky. Wiping the raindrops off his face, he said in a low tone, “Slow down the ship. Go to its minimum speed. Our field of vision is too small, and we need to prevent any accidents.”
“Yes, captain.” The leader of the Breaking Waves legion commander was the chief officer of the ship, Jac. He was also an epic soldier. Furthermore, he had trained at sea for over six months. His skin was very tanned, and his golden-yellow eyes looked dazzling.
It was evident that the legion commander, who previously had just a master bloodline, had become an epic fire-type professional because of the Dragon’s blood.
He took a gulp of alcohol from the bottle in his hands and gazed upon the sky. It looked dark as if it were night. Indeed, accelerated travel was not suitable for these conditions. The epic warship had a high defense, but he also knew that the captain was heading towards a small island.
If they bumped into a submerged rock, besides destroying the ship, it would be awkward if they were stuck...
They could not get out, but they would not sink either...
Thus, he commanded the ship crew to keep two of the sails, causing the ship to slow down.
Lautner seemed to have sensed something. He walked over and asked William with great anxiety, “What happened?”
William rubbed his chin but chose not to speak.
He felt that his luck was low. This caused the luck of the entire ship to decrease as well.
They were about to head to Stormy Island.
But they encountered an extreme storm...
Although Stormy Island was surrounded by thunderstorms,
They had not even reached the area, and storms rarely occurred outside the surroundings of the island.
In particular, due to the weather, even the silver quality compass had started to stray. Furthermore, they did not have a map of the ocean. William had become slightly afraid.
But he patted Lautner’s shoulder. “Uncle, you have no need to worry..”
“...” Lautner gulped. He was no longer worried about the ship. He was worried about his life and his safety.
As the storm grew more intense,
Waterspouts started to appear. Many players no longer dared to stand on the deck and ran to the cabins to rest.
William did not move, and he reassured the ship crew. Then, he walked into the captain’s room. He moved his hands and lit up the fireplace. He took out magical beast meat from his space ring and started his happy life.
After all, he had already said that warships that were not above master level would not be able to travel long distances. It was not just because of the sea beasts. It was because of the harsh weather on the magical sea.
But.
The captain was impressive. He had a room that was 120 square meters while the rest had to stay below the deck...
Night passed.
When the sun rose in the east on the following day, the storm had finally subsided. A large rainbow had appeared in the sky.
At this moment.
The air was rich with magic.
All the professionals on the ship, except for a few members of the ship crew that were doing manual labor, sat cross-legged and started to train.
To their surprise, after the storm, the concentration of magic was ten times stronger than on the continent!
What did this mean?
This meant that the speed of their training would be ten times faster.
“No matter the creatures in the sea are so large. The magic here is very strong.” Burned Cinder had not lost all of his memories. He was still the same as before. It seemed that he only had forgotten about Goethe Nasis...
As he muttered to himself, he took out a potion and drank it. Then choosing a spot on the deck, he sat cross-legged and started to train his battle energy.
When the players saw this, they could only look on helplessly. They could not feel any magic. Furthermore, they could only level up through missions or defeating monsters...
Luckily, many players were sufficiently prepared.
Someone took out their self-made mahjong and poker. Three to four people gathered together while some of the players and some NPCs looked on.
One player had brought Chinese chess and weiqi. He looked around, feeling lonely. He only wanted to find an opponent.
And Chu Liuqiu, the middle-aged man with sparse hair, even took out a foldable metal fishing rod. It had even been enchanted. He lazily started to fish.
After a while.
He caught a beginner level fish that stretched over 2.5 meters.
“Tsk tsk, no wonder the prince wants to go to sea. This is very profitable.” Changli Jiuge went in deep thought. He wondered how much experience that he could earn from the fish.
But at the next moment.
Chu Liuqiu’s fishing rod almost broke. He had been almost pulled down into the sea by a massive force.
In a flash,
Chief officer Jack’s eyes lit up. It was a big fish!
He hurriedly issued a command. “Kill that sea beast.”
There were repeated loud sounds.
Dozens of cannons started to fire. Dozens of heavy-duty crossbows also started to shoot.
Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.
The magical arrows came to a stop with a crash.
Seven or eight arrows, each over one meter long, pierced through the body of the giant fish.
The fish jumped in pain.
The players saw that it was a sea beast stretching seven or eight meters in length!
“Damn, is that a giant Atlantic bluefin tuna?” Forever Alone gulped, but no one cared about him.
Heavy-duty arrows were shot in succession.
They managed to shoot down the sea beast, which had over 100 thousand Health, in a short amount of time.
Then, some people brought chains over and pulled the massive fish to the right side of the boar. Someone put a hook on the fish and pulled it on to the deck. The player glanced at the sea beast, which had been attracted by them.
They knew.
While traveling at sea,
Not only would there be storms.
There would be feasts as well...
They could even earn experience...
What a steal!
