"First, head to the southern continent, sail west along the Prus Bay for ten days, and after arriving at Hewitt, head north to bypass the Empire's defenses and enter the Fog Harbor."

Feiyu's tone softened, and all his sharpness disappeared.

“Stained Mist Harbor, I remember there’s a Tower of Remembrance nearby, right?” Dragon’s Earn stopped swallowing with satisfaction, casually grabbed a napkin, and wiped his mouth and hands.

"The Tower of Remembrance was closed after the war started, and I heard that everyone inside starved to death." Flying Fish twirled his knife, cut a piece of meat from the roasted leg, and put it in his mouth.

"Kid, didn't you want to learn the Transformation Technique?" Dragon's Eren turned to Lin Feng and said, "This tower will leave behind the phantom images of other people's thoughts. The higher you climb, the greater the chance of successfully transforming into the Transformation Technique."

Lin Feng was suddenly called upon, and he searched his mind for information about the Tower of Concentration: "Are there any Imperial fleets near the Tower of Concentration?"

Upon hearing this, Fei Yu slammed his knife into the floor, glared at Ern, and then said to Lin Feng with unexpected gentleness, "Sir, although there are no Imperial fleets stationed near the Tower of Contemplation, the area is close to the Sandas Mountains and is one of the main entrances and exits to the western mountains of the Empire. It would be too dangerous to approach it."

Dragon's Earn exclaimed, "Oh? So Bloodmist Harbor isn't dangerous?"

“The Fog Harbor is located at the Gulf Stream node, and it is shrouded in fog every night, making it a hundred times safer than the Tower of Contemplation.” Flying Fish sneered, “Moreover, I haven’t seen many people who have left the Tower of Contemplation manage to complete the transformation.”

After saying that, Flying Fish suddenly suggested, "How about I take you to Bloodmist Harbor? It would be safer to go there by small boat or overland than to go directly there..."

Dragon's Earn, with the sunken scar on his eye, faced Lin Feng, a few words he wanted to say, but ultimately remained silent, only regretting that the money wasn't his.

After a moment, Lin Feng spoke: "What do you want to do at the Tower of Remembrance?"

“There’s something there that can help Carol,” Dragon’s Earn explained, then immediately added with a chuckle, “It will also help you.”

Lin Feng casually pulled out a bag of gold coins from his pocket and turned to ask the delighted Flying Fish, "What are the chances of being discovered when we go to the Tower of Remembrance?"

"At most 3 hours, if..."

"What if?" Lin Feng tossed the bag over.

"If we disregard the consequences and take out the guards on the mountain, we can get another two hours." Flying Fish smiled and weighed the bag in his hand; it seemed a few centimeters heavier than last time.

Is 5 hours enough?

"Enough!" Dragon's Earn's smile widened even more.

After a day of rest and recuperation, the ship was ready to depart at dusk, and the 20-day voyage was about to begin.

As night fell, the ship entered the ocean current and, carried by the rising sea breeze, arrived under a sky full of stars.

Several days later, half of the voyage had passed in a flash. The ship was floating on the boundless sea, like a leaf spinning in place, when it was suddenly pulled into a coral sea glittering with starlight.

But despite the beautiful scene, all the crew members retreated to the interior of the deck and hooked the ropes on the deck into the slipknots around their waists.

"Quiet, everyone lie down."

With a soft snort, Flying Fish signaled the pirates to scramble down, and Mar and the others followed suit, prostrating themselves on the ground and looking at the seawater around them, which was ablaze with various colors.

The ship slowly rounded a deep blue coral reef, and from the observation deck, Lin Feng saw a shimmering halo moving across the seabed before slowly disappearing into another patch of brightly colored water.

What is it?

Lin Feng's gaze swept around, and he vaguely discovered a patch of starlight that seemed to gather and disperse unpredictably, creating more ripples on the surface of the water.

As the surrounding starlight gradually increased, the flying fish navigating the ship gave a gesture for silence, released the rudder, and, together with the crew, sank into the tranquil sea.

From the observation deck, Lin Feng watched from afar as a gust of wind blew towards them, creating layers of waves.

"Eye."

Suddenly, the starlight beneath the sea surface gathered on a deep color. What was initially thought to be a deep trench slowly revealed a ring of crystal-clear pupils under the reflection of the starlight.

A gigantic sea monster!

"Shh!" Fei Yu quietly raised a finger, her deliberately shifting gaze meeting Lin Feng's, causing a slight ripple of surprise.

At this moment, the sea monster below shook its body, and starlight spread outwards with the waves, revealing countless tentacled hairs floating in the seawater.

The ocean currents surged, stirring the downy feathers, and they drifted from their starting point all the way to the distance.

Waiting for a new current to appear, the flying fish adjusted the rudder, and the stopped ship began to move forward again, leaving behind the giant eye.

Several tens of minutes later, Flying Fish spoke up: "Alright, get up, everyone."

Upon hearing this, the pirates all breathed a sigh of relief and removed the iron chains from their waists.

"Don't ask me what it is. Everyone who knows is dead, and I don't want to know what it is." Flying Fish handed the helm to the person next to him, stepped onto the railing, and snorted, "Keep your guard up tonight. This is just one problem. There are Imperial outposts in this Coral Sea."

"Would the Empire set up an outpost in a place like this?"

Mar looked incredulous. Although he had never been to such a place, he had at least heard of it.

“War,” Flying Fish said casually. “Ten years ago, the Empire planted spies all over the world, but this Coral Sea has always been a paradise for smugglers, and few others come here.”

Before anyone could prepare, Flying Fish pointed to the coral reefs exposed above the sea in the distance and said, "Let's finish this quickly."

Following the direction the flying fish pointed to, everyone looked at the coral reef and just as they saw a head pop out, a splash suddenly came from beside them.

Turning around, countless sparks were scattered where the flying fish had just stood, and a blue figure was rapidly approaching the coral reef from beneath the water.

It has been soaked in.

Lin Feng saw a blue, snake-like mermaid whose beautiful face had turned into a bald human face with fish-like features. Her chest was covered with barnacles, and her slender body had six blue, fin-like wings on her back. She had lost all her female characteristics.

The moment she burst from the sea, her blue body flashed behind the imperial soldiers, severing their heads one by one, and swiftly flew back to the ship from beneath the sea.

"Alright, we can move forward with peace of mind now."

After Flying Fish finished speaking briefly, the blood that spread from the coral reef caused a tremor. Taking advantage of the emergence of monsters hidden under the coral reef, they turned the rudder and steered the ship towards another bay stream.

Lin Feng landed from the watchtower: "How many more sentry posts like this are there along the way?"

“There are more than a dozen in total, but we will only encounter three.” After adjusting the ship, Flying Fish handed the helm back to his pirate crew.

Three outposts...

He had seen the pirate map, and the remaining two outposts were likely located on the islands that the current would pass through next.

With Dragon's Ern around, these people, even if stronger than Flying Fish, don't need to be too afraid. But... how many more times can Dragon's Ern use its power?

He could tell from the other person's voice that they didn't have much time left to live.
