We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

"...Captain Shane?"

Fei Ya opened her eyes and coughed up a few mouthfuls of sea water. Then she looked around and saw familiar faces.

Xia En pretended not to know and asked in surprise: "Why were you thrown out of the sea?"

"Ah I……"

Fei Ya tried hard to recall the situation just now and murmured: "Did the Faceless Shadow save me?"

He looked up at Xia En in front of him with a strange expression.

From the appearance, Xia En and Wumao Zhiying were obviously very different, but he inexplicably felt that there was some strange similarity between the two.

Feiya had this feeling when he saw the Faceless Shadow for the first time.

"How could it be such a coincidence that it happened to land on Captain Shane's Black Swan?"

"Moreover, he has stayed in this sea area even though he has not entered the Blood Moon Secret Realm?"

"Is it just a coincidence?"

"Could it be..."

Fei Ya's thoughts were ups and downs, and he vaguely guessed the truth, but he was a smart young man, so he just said something without leaving any trace.

"Thank you, Captain Shane."

Xia En looked at Fei Ya and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"I think the ships on Silver Moon Island seem to be looking for you?"

At this time, many survivors were crawling back to their boats from the sea.

Some small boats couldn't wait to escape from this sea area, and an uproar could also be heard on large pirate ships.

If you think about it carefully, for a dangerous expedition like this, most ships would definitely send only the most elite men to the sea.

And now, they brought the truth about the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] back to the ship, which naturally aroused the excitement of other crew members.

In the chaos, the most eye-catching Viper was cruising slowly, as if searching for some target.

Hearing Xia En's question, Fei Ya was stunned for a moment and began to think about this serious question.

It is impossible to return to Silver Moon Island.

Although Viper Quinn is dead, there are still a large number of vampires on the island who control all aspects of power on the entire island.

If he returns to the island, he will most likely be treated as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, and eventually end up being assassinated.

Moreover, after finally escaping from one cage, why enter another one?

So, there seems to be only one answer.

But when the words came to her lips, Fei Ya felt inexplicably inferior, or in other words, it was a fear of happiness and freedom.

——Many people who grow up in dysfunctional families will have this kind of "fear."

Everything in the past is wrapped around them like heavy shackles. Even if the person who imposed the shackles is no longer around, the shackles will not be easily released.

At this moment, Xia En asked very bluntly.

"In that case, I will tell you directly."

"Would you like to stay on my ship and become the third crew member of the Black Swan?"

Fei Ya hesitated and said, "I have to tell you, I am a vampire who does not drink blood. Sometimes I need to drink to relieve my thirst for blood."

"I know."

"I don't have a very good personality. I'm a bit irritable. If I'm upset, I'll beat people up."

"oh."

"There are still many vampires in the Seven Seas Federation. They may want to hunt me down and cause you a lot of trouble."

"Is there such a good thing?"

"My steam engine makes noise, and my research is very expensive..."

Xia En interrupted Fei Ya, looked into his eyes seriously, and said: "I don't care about those things. I only want to ask you one thing -"

"Will you come with me?"

Fei Ya was speechless, then nodded heavily: "Of course, my captain!"

At this moment, Joey on the side exclaimed: "Captain, it's bad!"

"The Viper, the Viper is rushing towards us!"

"Um?"

Xia En immediately turned his head and looked behind him, his pupils shrinking involuntarily.

I saw on the sea not far away, a huge ship with a small steel structure, speeding up suddenly, rushing towards the direction of the Black Swan.

Its momentum is extremely ferocious, and it has no regard for the ships along its way.

There was a "boom"!

A smaller pirate ship was directly hit by the bow of the Viper. The entire ship broke directly from the waist and quickly sank into the sea.

At the same time, the momentum of the [Viper] did not decrease at all, and it accelerated straight forward.

"Are the people on that ship crazy?"

Xia En frowned slightly, walked to the rudder of the ship without hesitation, and ordered in his heart.

"Xiao Hei, move forward at full speed!"

[Yes, Master! 】

Xiao Hei, who had not received an order from Xia En for a long time, immediately responded with joy.

The high whistle sounded on the sea, the sails rose, and the steam core roared...

The [Black Swan], which had been silent for nearly a month, was finally able to scream loudly and cut through the waves on the sea.

"It seems that you have a hard time enduring it..."

Xia En chuckled: "But I can finally leave this hellish place."

However, it was obvious that the [Viper] at the rear did not intend to let him go so easily.

"Captain on that ship, stop the ship now and leave Master Fei Ya behind!"

"Otherwise, you are making an enemy of our Silver Moon Island!"

[The Viper] transmitted a sound amplified by some kind of loudspeaker device.

"This is the final warning!"

"If we don't stop the ship, we're going to open fire!"

Hearing this, Feiya's expression changed slightly, but when he turned to look at Xia En, he found that there was no fear on the captain's face, but a wanton smile.

"So what if we are enemies of Silver Moon Island?"

"Ah Pao, give me a fucking blow!"

boom!

Artillery roared.

A cannonball accurately landed on the sea next to the Viper, stirring up a high water column.

But Xia En turned his head in surprise.

Because this shell was not fired from the [Black Swan]!

Not far away, a pirate ship with thunder painted on its sails was approaching the Viper from the flank.

It’s the [Thunder Horn]!

Not only it, but also the [Aquila], [Siren]... and other ships of all sizes surrounded the [Viper] with a siege.

——Although the captain of the [Aquila] turned to the vampires, the pirates on the ship did not know it. They only thought that the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] killed the captain and the elites on the ship, so they naturally wanted to avenge them.

Obviously, this scam [Blood Moon Secret Realm] has offended the public!

The relatives and friends of the sailors who died in the secret realm must wash away this hatred with blood!

Seeing this scene, the current captain of the [Viper] was obviously panicked and shouted through the loudspeaker.

"Federal hunting ship, why are you just watching?"

"This is provoking the authority of the Federation!"

However, the hunting boats remained indifferent and just stayed on the periphery of the sea area. They neither attacked the Viper nor blocked the pirates' actions.

The captain of the [Viper] gave up and continued to speed up regardless, rushing towards the [Black Swan].

Other ships opened fire on it, taking the opportunity to attack the huge steel ship.

In an instant, artillery pieces roared and roared.

The shells screamed and water jets exploded on the sea.

Although the Viper was the one being besieged, its size and firepower were there, and it still had the upper hand in the battle.

In other words, it is the master of this sea area!

And the object it focuses on is the seemingly petite and pitiful [Black Swan].

However, what surprised many captains was that this small ship actually showed amazing resilience under the attack of the Viper!

The suddenly accelerated speed and erratic trajectory easily avoided the attacks of most artillery shells.

Even if one or two cannonballs landed on the hull, it would be like hitting an invisible barrier, and the power would be greatly reduced.

even……

[Black Swan] still has time to counterattack [Viper]!

Those cannonballs were like angry ghosts, making a chilling whisper as they rushed out of the barrel, streaking through the air with dark streams of light, and hitting the Viper's hull heavily.

Cause considerable damage.

After a dangerous and exciting chase, the [Black Swan] came to waters where there were no other ships to block it.

Immediately afterwards, with the triumphant whistle sounding, it escaped from the pursuit of the Viper and sailed further to the sea.

…

…

It didn't take long.

On the calm sea.

Xia En looked at the Viper, whose shadow could no longer be seen, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"Just because you still want to catch up with my [Black Swan]?"

Compared with the pursuit of the [Sir of Yousui] in the promotion ritual, this pursuit was not too stressful.

However, under the fierce bombardment, there were still some injuries on the [Black Swan].

For example, a cannonball hit a corner of the deck and made a medium-sized hole.

"hiss……"

At this time, Fei Ya looked at the damage on the deck with a surprised look on her face, and a flash of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

Visible to the naked eye, the wooden boards are automatically growing and repairing, returning to their original appearance.

"This ship... can actually repair itself?"

Joey next to him said calmly: "Isn't this normal?"

Feiya: "..."

He couldn't help but asked cautiously: "And, I remember, the captain was the only one driving the boat just now?"

"Then who controls the steam turbines and sails, and who fires the cannons?"

Joey looked at him strangely and said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Of course it's Mr. Captain! Otherwise, can it still be us?"

Feiya's eyelids twitched slightly, feeling that this girl with white hair and red eyes seemed to be unusual, so she turned to look at the knight in armor beside her and asked.

"Is this a normal thing on this ship?"

An took out a pen and paper and wrote in correct handwriting.

[No need to be surprised, everything is business as usual on the Black Swan. 】

Feiya: "..."

He now has some doubts. Did he misunderstand the meaning of the word "normal"?

"It seems like you guys are having a great time chatting. Come on, let me introduce you..."

Xia En came over at the right time and introduced himself to each of them so that the three of them could get familiar with each other.

By the way, he also checked Fei Ya's panel.

[Crew: Fei Ya (unbound)]

[Race: Vampire (can be converted into Holy Vampire)]

[Secret Career: Priest (Level 2)]

[Talent: can be viewed after binding]

[Skill: Can be viewed after binding]

[Description: A handsome young man, a believer in the God of Steam, a vampire who has never drank blood, and has in-depth research on machinery, steam, and the human body. 】

[With his help, maybe the entire ship can be transformed into a steel battleship, right? 】

"Um?"

Shane noticed the "Holy Blood" in the "race" and was a little surprised.

Viper Quinn seems to have been emphasizing that Feiya's bloodline is special. Could it be related to it?

Or is it that the fruit given by the [Crimson Ancient Tree] can improve his bloodline?

Xia En thought about it casually, but his thoughts were inexplicably scattered.

"Speaking of which, there are now succubi, sea tribes, sea monsters, elves, blood tribes, and ancient dragons on this ship..."

"Hey, a guide to the evaluation of alien crew members, right?"

At this time, Joey asked curiously: "Mr. Captain, where are we going now?"

This question reminded Xia En.

For captains, planning for the future is also important.

He thought in his mind: "First of all, we should go back to the Coral City, set up a [Submarine Anchor], and help the Queen quickly clear the palace dungeon."

To be honest, when he was promoting the ritual, Xia En also thought about setting the [anchor point] under the secret sea.

But not to mention that the situation was extremely urgent, and there was little time to think while submersing.

On the other hand, the difficulty of the [Secret Sea] copy is currently too much for him.

It's like going straight to fight the final BOSS as soon as the novice copy is released. Basically, you will end up being defeated instantly, and the benefits of submersing are not high.

Xia En planned to decide whether to leave the [Anchor Point] in the secret sea after reaching the third level or the fourth level, depending on the situation.

The problem now is.

After leaving Coral City, which direction should we go?

Is it [Rusty Wasted City]?

Or [Siren Islands]?

Or other large underwater ruins?
