The next day arrived.
Lu Mingming got up early, ate a few bites of dry food to fill his stomach, and arrived at the living room to meet with everyone before the agreed time.
The fisherman had already discussed the direction of travel with the small business owner. The other four men, introduced by the slave, were vicious and ruthless, and it was said that each of them had taken a hundred lives.

The burly man whose chin had been grabbed by the small boss yesterday glared menacingly at Lu Mingming as she arrived at the scene, his menacing aura making people afraid to approach him.
Unfortunately, Lu Mingming was not among them; she calmly walked to the young boss's side.
"Great, this is the best condition."
The young boss said something out of the blue.
He walked up to the burly man, raised his hand, and slapped him hard—
With a crisp "slap," the sound of the slap echoed.
Even rough, dark skin can't help but leave bright red handprints.
A trail of blood trickled down the burly man's lips, like a small, deep red snake. Half of his face became extremely swollen and red, and he glared angrily at the small business owner, his face now resembling a pig's head.
The young boss smiled and repeated, "This is the best condition. We can set off now."
Lu Mingming hadn't forgotten the odd number of people yesterday, so she pretended to agree, but secretly planted a seed of mental strength in the burly man.

She knew the young boss must have his reasons for doing this, but whether it was for his own sake or for the team going to the Mermaid Treasure was unknown.
With renewed focus, Lu Mingming quickly caught up with the team.
At the back door, two identical boats were docked, the only difference being the drivers.
As the small business owner said, the second ship would serve as a backup and lead the way.
Lu Mingming was the first to board the first ship, and she found a good spot by the window.
The room was filled with a faint, woody scent.
The cabin was heated automatically, so the walls were warm, like being bathed in the warm spring sun, and the skin felt very comfortable.
Compared to the numerous ships scattered around, the furnishings were simple, with a few beanbag chairs and lamb's wool blankets to ward off the wind, but it still couldn't stop the drowsy feeling that would arise within seconds.
After a few minutes of drowsy waking, Lu Mingming suddenly bit the tip of his tongue when he regained consciousness.
The excruciating pain from her tongue then stimulated her brain.
Lu Mingming immediately perked up and looked out through the transparent window.
As you venture deeper into the Illusionary Sea, it becomes quite different from the inner towns.
The shopkeeper once said that only the town itself is safe; the rest of the town is extremely dangerous and shrouded in mystery.
Lu Mingming now understands the mystery that was mentioned.
Before I knew it, everywhere I went was shrouded in a white fog.
Even though I was walking at the boundary between the starry sky and the water, I could always see the shadowy figure of a large animal darting across the water from time to time.
"Am I seeing things? How can there be animals in a sea of stars?"
Lu Mingming rubbed his eyes, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.
The fog spread further, and a bright moon hung in the distance, seemingly shining brightly where the sky meets the sea, like a giant white plate hanging in the sky.
Even with the fog obscuring the view, Lu Mingming could clearly see what was hidden beneath the sea, aided by the moonlight.

Those were adult killer whales that had never yet manifested, their jet-black bodies hidden underwater, especially the two white spots on their sides that looked like adorning eyes.
In the quiet and eerie environment, Lu Mingming felt none of the cuteness she had seen in the videos before.
She couldn't help but shudder, her whole body covered in goosebumps.
It was clearly night outside the window, but Lu Mingming distinctly remembered that it was dawn before he left.
She dozed off for a moment and lost a section of her memory.
Lu Mingming stood up unsteadily, the waves and rocking sensation from the boat's movement still lingering.
She held onto the wall, opened the door, and walked out.
Everything was quiet, with only the ticking of the clock.
Lu Mingming looked around and saw that the clock was still pointing in the direction that it was morning, so everything was fine.
"You've noticed something's wrong, haven't you?"

A question suddenly rang out behind her, startling Lu Mingming so much that she turned around abruptly.
"So it was you."
Seeing that it was Morian, she breathed a sigh of relief and feigned anger, saying, "What's wrong? You scared me!"
"I'm sorry, please allow me to apologize later."
Morian chuckled softly, a gentle smile always playing on his lips.
He looked at the moon, which was so close to him, his eyes filled with coldness.
“I went to see the young boss, but no one was in his room.”
Lu Mingming's eyes widened suddenly. He tried to connect his mental energy to the spiritual seed on the strong man, but it seemed to be interrupted halfway and he could not receive any information.
"Let's go wake up the others!"
After a search and confirmation, only Lu Mingming and three old acquaintances remained on the entire ship.

The bald man was left in the yard to guard the house, while the small business owner and the fisherman disappeared without a trace.
"I'm afraid it's not just that."
Lu Yan's expression was serious.
"The ships of Team B ahead of us disappeared without anyone noticing."
The four people gathered on the decktop, surrounded by hundreds of orcas, as the lone boat continued its journey.
"The food left on the ship can only keep people alive for one to three days; otherwise, they will starve to death here. None of us have noticed when he left."
Morian pointed out the key points of the problem.
"I felt sleepy after uploading for less than five minutes, and when I woke up..."
