[Second Update of Extra Chapter 41] 0:07 Added 500 more steps to bypass the quicksand belt

Day 326 of the story [Extra Chapter 41, Second Update]

After bypassing the quicksand belt, the little blue dragon circled in the air once and flew back, gesturing to Yin Yu and He Lianzhou as if to say something.

He Lianzhou looked up at the little blue dragon, then turned to Yin Yu and said, "It seems to want to take us to another place."

"Another place?" Yin Yu looked at the little blue dragon with surprise. It must not have existed a few hours ago, otherwise the little blue dragon would not have suddenly wanted to take them there now.

I just don't know what exactly happened.

Yin Yu hesitated for a moment, weighing whether to hurry on his way or change course to take a look at the unknown new discovery of the little dragon.

He quickly made a decision: "Let's follow it. Since it thinks it's important and worth going, let's take a look."

Anyway, no one knows where that coiled-winged ichthyosaur is flying. Getting there early or late is not as important as arriving at the right time and depending on luck. And luck is something that Yin Yu knows has nothing to do with him or He Lianzhou.

Why not just go with the little blue dragon? Maybe we'll make some new discoveries.

When the little blue dragon heard Yin Yu agree, it let out a happy cry and immediately led the way into the air.

This change of route and the new temporary destination took Yin Yu and his companions another two hours to reach.

The little blue dragon flies high and has excellent eyesight. What it can see clearly from afar, it has to travel a great distance to get on the ground. It's like trying to run a mountain to death.

Yin Yu and He Lianzhou asked the little blue dragon how much further it was. The little blue dragon looked into the distance for a moment, then flapped its wings at the curator and the lord with an innocent and bewildered expression, and chirped twice.

He Lianzhou: "It means it's not far off."

"It said the same thing an hour ago." Yin Yu rubbed his eyebrows and lowered his voice. He didn't want the little blue dragon to think it was a reprimand, but obviously the way dragons measure distance is different from humans, and they might need to understand it more precisely.

He Lianzhou shrugged.

[Ahhh, I'm dying of laughter! Did Yu-ge get tricked by his own flying pet? Hahaha]

[Looks like a laugh]

[Little Blue Dragon: Not far at all, I'll be there in a flash!]

[Little Blue Dragon: Strange, why haven't you guys arrived yet? (pointing and gesturing)]

[Hahaha, that's so mean!]

Yin Yu sighed. He looked around and locked his gaze on the highest sand dune nearby. He decided to climb to the highest point to see if the area the little blue dragon had mentioned was actually within his line of sight.

It would be best to do so in [location].

Otherwise, he really would have to give the little blue dragon a lesson on the cultural differences between humans and dragons.

The slope of this sand dune is very long, at least four or five stories high. The fine sand is slippery and dense, clinging to your calves. For every three steps you climb up, the sand drags you down one step.

Nevertheless, Yin Yu and He Lianzhou still managed to climb to the top of the slope.

He Lianzhou solidified the sand beneath his feet as he climbed up, glancing at Yin Yu, who seemed to have no need for his help.

He Lianzhou sighed, and although it seemed to be of little use, he still quietly placed more compacted sand under Yin Yu's feet.

Yin Yu noticed the unexpected sensation under his feet and glanced at He Lianzhou.

He Lianzhou immediately puffed out his chest and raised his head proudly, like a male peacock spreading its tail feathers.

Yin Yu: ""

Once they reached the top of the slope, Yin Yu was finally able to carefully assess their location. He no longer needed to search for them; the little blue dragon was incredibly conspicuous amidst the barren sand dunes.

It was a dilapidated ship half-submerged in the yellow sand.

The little blue dragon cried out happily, finally the curator noticed it!

Yin Yu was clearly taken aback; this wasn't the discovery he had expected. But soon, a surge of excitement and joy welled up within him. An abandoned ship always meant he could scavenge for resources! Their available resources were too limited; anything that could be obtained from human civilization's architecture was likely to come in handy.

[Holy crap! Why is there an abandoned ship in the middle of the desert?! This place is so far from rivers and oceans!]

[+1111, appearing out of nowhere is really weird!]

[The streamer is going over there?! This feels like something out of a ghost ship!!]

[Hiss, I've heard tales and ghost stories of ghost ships in other deserts! They're always terrifying!]

Don't go! I wouldn't dare watch even if you went!

[I still don't understand Brother Yu. Who is Brother Yu? Whenever there are human "remains" in the wild, he will definitely search them thoroughly before leaving.]

Whether it's a ghost ship or not, it'll all get a lot of pain when it gets to Brother Yu.

【ah? 】

[I heard there are ghost ships around here!! This night owl is here!!]

[A late-night horror story? Or a field exploration version? Is this some kind of new horror live streamer?]

[It's true that the middle of the night is a great time to attract newcomers from other fields.]

Welcome to Yu Ge's Wilderness Survival Livestream :)

After finally climbing to the top of the sand dune, Yin Yu took in all the landmarks and scenic spots within his sight. He pointed to the southwest of the abandoned shipyard and asked, "Do you see that?"

He Lianzhou looked in that direction and saw a crescent-shaped sand dune with a few sparse trees standing on it, making it appear even more desolate.

“I’ve seen this in the Swallowtail Dog’s memory,” Yin Yu said, nodding slightly to He Lianzhou. “That’s where it saw that coiled-winged ichthyosaur.”

Upon hearing this, He Lianzhou glanced at the distance between the two locations and gave a slight smirk: "Still very far."

He was referring to the distance between humans.

Yin Yu nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips: "But for the Dragon Clan, it shouldn't be too far."

The ichthyosaur, it must be related to dragons in some way, right? Yin Yu guessed.

He Lianzhou gave a light hum and did not refute.

Yin Yu patted He Lianzhou on the shoulder, signaling them that it was time for them to leave.

The fastest way down a sand dune is to run down the sand, but the back of the dune is steeper, and you might tumble and roll down if you're not careful, so almost no one tries it.

But it's clear that Yin Yu is a person who prioritizes efficiency.

Two figures, one in front of the other, ran at top speed down the steep slope. Sand billowed up as they ran, and their figures cast sharp, inverted silhouettes against the moonlight.

When they reached the bottom of the slope, the lion cubs and the swallow-tailed dog were already waiting for them.

Yin Yu glanced at the live stream and saw that it had suddenly become lively again. For some reason, the topic had veered off to the "ghost ship".

What ghost ship?

Yin Yu's lips twitched slightly as he brushed the sand off his body and corrected the bizarre speculations in the comments: "The reason this abandoned ship is here is neither because of ghosts nor ghostly illusions."

"It was just that the quicksand brought it to this desert and then left it in the same place. That's all. There's nothing supernatural or strange about it."

"Yes, we need to go there now. Maybe we can find something useful."

“”

Yin Yu patiently answered all the questions in the live stream until they unknowingly arrived in front of the old ship.

The abandoned old ship looked like a merchant ship at sea. It was small to medium-sized, but it looked very new. It hadn't been swallowed by quicksand for very long and didn't look that ancient or weathered.

Yin Yu carefully checked whether the sand around the old ship was firm before slowly approaching it.

The lion cub sniffed the soil around the sand, without letting out any uneasy roars.

He Lianzhou and Yin Yu walked around the perimeter of the dilapidated ship. Its stern tilted upwards above the sand, while its bow was completely submerged in the ground. The exposed hull revealed many scratches and even holes from being scratched.

Yin Yu observed the traces left on the ship: the barnacles embedded in the patina, and the fine sand slowly flowing out of the holes in the hull, all seemed to be silently telling Yin Yu and He Lianzhou a story.

“It looks like it has a lot of history,” Yin Yu said, tentatively tugging at a rope that had fallen from the stern. It was very thick and long, not rotten, still strong, and firmly fixed to the stern. The heavy anchor, however, had vanished.

Yin Yu grabbed the rope, twisted his waist and abdomen with explosive force, and quickly climbed up the rope to the deck at the stern of the ship.

After climbing onto the deck, he quickly looked around and, finding nothing amiss, tossed the rope back to He Lianzhou, signaling him to come up as he had done earlier.

He Lianzhou glanced at the dangling cable, then at Yin Yu, and gave a forced smile.

No, he can use other methods.

That's not his style.

With a slight shift in his mind, He Lianzhou saw the yellow sand piled up into steps. He Lianzhou climbed the steps, and as he lifted his foot, the yellow sand scattered with a bang.

[Fine, you two are showing off your own things, aren't you?!]

[Got it, one's a physical attacker and the other's a magic user, right? The two of you together are invincible!]

Monster Hunter: Elegance Until Death

[Yu Ge: Just go for it]

[Hmm, so Yu-ge's back is stronger than Monster Hunter-ge's?]
