Once on deck, Lu Yuan glanced ahead and saw distant ships still bobbing up and down with the waves, like toys abandoned at sea.
Lu Yuan grabbed the rope and jumped into the sea. He gently splashed the water a few times. Soon, a large amount of seawater surged up again, forming a huge wave. Lu Yuan gripped the iron chain tightly and watched the giant beast rise to the surface. He felt a little relieved.
"Phew! What a good boy! These pirates are in for a rough time now! But the pirates on the shore... oh well, let's just take it one step at a time!"
The giant beast obediently turned its head toward Lu Yuan, its eyes filled with a questioning look. It thought it was going to be a boatman again today.
"You don't need to pull the boat today, but I have a task for you. This is your reward in advance!"
As he spoke, Lu Yuan took out a few golden fruits from his pocket and threw them directly into the giant beast's mouth.
Lu Yuan then explained his requirements to the other party. The giant beast blinked as if it understood, and then dived into the water.
Lu Yuan returned to the cockpit and glanced at the prisoner sitting on the ground.
"What are you going to do?" The other party felt a chill when he saw Lu Yuan steer the boat forward.
He believed that Lu Yuan's actions were suicidal. Now that Lu Yuan was trapped on the ship, he had no evidence to prove that he was a member of the pirates. If a firefight broke out and the pirates actually boarded the ship, he would have no way to escape and might even die at the hands of his own teammates.
"What are you doing? Isn't that obvious? Of course we're heading towards Taiping Island!" Lu Yuan glanced at it, then slowly pushed the control stick up, and the yacht gradually accelerated.
"You're crazy! You'll get us killed doing this! There are too many of them! I advise you to turn back immediately!"
"Hahaha, turn back? Turning back is out of the question, I'm going straight into the underground fortress!"
As he spoke, Lu Yuan adjusted the ship's direction by gripping the round rudder, then lay back in his seat and ignored the other person.
The prisoner sitting on the ground had a hint of fear in his eyes. He knew he could no longer persuade Lu Yuan to turn back. Right now, he could only quickly rack his brains to figure out his identity in order to avoid being mistaken for someone else.
The yacht gradually picked up speed, and everyone's hearts tightened. Although they had a giant beast protecting them, who knew if the other ship had any heavy weapons?
After breaking through the scattered ships on the sea, Lu Yuan finally managed to steer the ship into the restricted area.
Right on the coast of the restricted area, there was a huge frigate. The crew was busy inspecting the ship because they had just fought a big battle a few days ago. The enemy was a tough nut to crack, and they had to exert a lot of effort to subdue them.
However, due to the intense fighting, their ship was also bombarded, and a huge hole was blasted in the side of the hull. They are trying to repair the hole, otherwise seawater will continue to seep in, and their ship may capsize.
The captain was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had a shaved head, a long scar on his face, and was not tall but very strong.
In this era, there are very few people with his build. The reason he has survived to this day is because he is more ruthless than others. When facing strong enemies, he dares to fight and is not afraid of death.
More importantly, he is better at using underhanded tactics, which is why he has been able to survive until now and live a very comfortable life. Just two hours ago, the underground fortress delivered more than a dozen identity tokens to him, which he obtained through a lot of connections.
Looking at the dozen or so black identity tags placed in the box, the man couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
"Damn it, I finally have a chance to get into the underground fortress! After I finish this job today, I can finally bring my wives and live in the underground fortress!"
Thinking of this, the other person couldn't help but hum a song. Seeing this person's expression, the sailors next to him also showed envious looks. They didn't know if they could take over the other person's captain position, because on this ship, as long as you survived, you would basically have a chance to get an identity token and enter the underground fortress.
Just as he was humming a smug song, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the deck, and then the door to the cockpit was opened, and a man wearing tattered cotton clothes rushed in.
"Brother Wang, something bad has happened! Another boat is coming this way!"
After hearing this, the bald man put the box in his pocket and stood up in his leather boots.
"How could they be so blind? Didn't they hear that this area of water has been occupied by us?"
The man stood there without saying a word. How could he know if the other person had inquired about this area? He might just be a naive young man.
Baldy had been hoping that after finishing his last shift today, he could take his family to live in the underground fortress, but he didn't expect to be called back. Baldy was so angry that his head turned bright red.
"Damn it, this ship is causing me trouble at a time like this. Check if the hold is fully repaired, and immediately notify the other ships to stop this one!"
The deputies immediately stood up straight, said "Yes" in unison, and then began to get busy.
The repair work inside the cabin was not yet completed, and the bald man was eager to resolve this problem as soon as possible, so he directly ordered the repair work to be stopped.
