Chapter 109 Preparing to Set Sail
After a fierce meal, the group of people lay sprawled out on deck chairs outside the restaurant, completely disregarding their image.
Shen Jue lay in the first position, resting with his eyes closed.
Balsa, the second person in the row, said, "How should we set sail next? Xingran, you tell us, and we'll all cooperate with you."
The third person, Mu Xingran, said, “The Black Sea is easy to enter but difficult to leave. If we want to get out, we have to wait for the right opportunity. The center of the Black Sea is calm, but the waves below are turbulent, and all sorts of monsters may emerge. However, although the waves are turbulent on the outer edge of the Black Sea, most monsters will not appear there. Even if there are, they are just some weak monsters that we can deal with.”
The fourth person in the row, Clicaud, said, "So our first step is to leave the central Black Sea region and head to the outer Black Sea. Then we'll wait for the right opportunity to go out."
Balsa: "Yang, aren't you good at controlling rafts? Xingran, you calculate the direction. We'll directly maneuver the raft to the open sea."
Yang, the fifth person lying in the row, said, "We'll do whatever you say. You've arranged everything for us. There's no need to lie here and discuss how to get out."
Shen Jue: "Then let's do it this way. It's time for you masters to show your skills. Good luck!"
Shen Jue cannot control the direction of the raft. Her only task on this sea voyage is to be aware of any potential dangers that may arise in advance.
The group of people, with their tasks divided well, successfully got the raft to the Black Sea in the following days.
Although the raft was rocking a bit from the waves, it wasn't a big problem because the raft's base was large enough. So as long as it was controlled properly, there shouldn't be any major issues.
As for the sea monsters that appear here, no problem, just turn on the super searchlight.
Anyway, they have black blindfolds, so they can see without being affected by the searchlights.
Since turning on the super searchlight, we've rarely encountered groups of creatures in the open sea.
As for large marine creatures, they certainly wouldn't live in this turbulent open sea.
They got through the next few days without incident.
Today, Mu Xingran consulted a fortune teller, and the opportunity to spread the word will be in the next two days.
Once the tide rises in the open sea and the waves rise, that's when they'll go out.
Although dangerous, the risks are manageable, and they can get out safely.
Most importantly, even after leaving the Black Sea, they still had a mission to complete.
They were all either commissioned or tricked by Lulumu to come and do the mission. As a result, this delay lasted for half a month.
I wonder if I'll face that old man's wrath if I go out.
However, they didn't care that the old man couldn't beat them.
If they weren't on a mission, they would have liked to storm over and give Lulumu a good beating.
The resentment of the masters towards Lu Lumu reached another peak.
Shen Jue watched as the masters indignantly denounced Lu Lumu's crimes. He silently lit a candle for Master Lu Lumu.
Master, may you rest in peace. These guys will come after you when the time comes. Hmm, I can already imagine the torment Master Lulumu will suffer.
To this day, her impression of Lulum is still that of a little old man who loves to eat and has a slightly irritable temper.
Listening to the masters' conversation, Shen Jue indirectly witnessed another side of Master Lu Lumu.
It seems that Master Lulumu also has a side that is not known to others.
People will have different attitudes towards things and people.
When it comes to dealing with colleagues, all that's left is to create trouble.
After they finished talking, their anger subsided considerably.
These naive masters will never believe what Lulum says again.
Lulu's mouth is a deceitful devil.
The old man, relying on his seniority, bullies the younger generation; he's incredibly shameless.
Unfortunately, he was the only weapons master in the entire maritime world.
They can't just mess with him, or the game system will cause them trouble.
After much deliberation, they all felt that they had suffered a huge loss on this voyage, with the only benefit being that they had met Shen Jue.
It looks like we'll be able to set sail soon.
Mu Xingran, however, couldn't feel happy. The surrounding sea was growing increasingly turbulent, and she felt as if something was weighing on her heart. She cast one divination after another.
Tonight, she had a heart-to-heart talk with Shen Jue, discussing how rough the sea was.
She didn't know when the time would come, but her calculations were usually very accurate. However, for some reason, this time, something went wrong.
The opportunity will clearly arrive in two days; once the open sea reopens, they can go out.
But after waiting and waiting, the opportunity never came.
Shen Jue comforted her, "Sister Xingran, don't worry. It's our turn to leave, and there won't be any problems. The masters have said that the Black Sea is always easy to enter but difficult to leave. We should calm down and not be impatient."
Mu Xingran pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You're right. I have indeed been a bit impatient these past two days."
After this conversation, Mu Xingran resolved a mental block and became less reliant on calculation abilities.
She can't let a small mistake make her so anxious that she can't eat or sleep properly; she was just overthinking things in the past.
Regardless of Mu Xingran's inner turmoil, her words reminded Shen Jue.
"Sister Xingran, did you notice anything unusual before you did the calculation?"
"Abnormal? Apart from the waves being a bit bigger than usual, nothing else has happened. Could it be that some kind of trouble is about to break out again outside the Black Sea?"
"Then we need to be careful."
...
A few days later, Shen Jue and Balsa were practicing their skills in the training ground.
These past few days, besides checking the direction, determining the time to set sail, and eating and sleeping, I've been doing other things as well.
The rest of the time, Shen Jue would practice martial arts in the training ground. Occasionally, a few masters would get itchy and go down to spar with Shen Jue.
Since she began learning martial arts, Shen Jue has rarely sparred with anyone. She has learned a great deal from several masters, and her days have become extremely busy.
Today, she was supposed to be practicing the martial arts techniques that Balsa had taught her in the training ground.
Then, these masters, bored, came to watch. In the end, they even fought with her for several hours.
After getting to know them, Shen Jue learned that the youngest of these masters was 160 years old.
They had trained their martial arts skills since childhood, and Shen Jue was able to fight them on equal terms, probably mostly because these masters had let him off the hook.
Just for the novelty and fun, to spar with Shen Jue and, incidentally, test the skills they'd taught him.
Although Shen Jue didn't show it on the surface, he was happy inside.
With such skilled martial arts masters as her opponents, her progress was undoubtedly rapid.
And here comes another match.
Shen Jue was covered in sweat.
"I'm done playing, I'm a bit tired today. I need to rest for a bit, then I need to practice my basic skills."
"You fought really well, you've improved a lot compared to before, you can withstand several of my moves now." Balsa put away his arrogance, walked over and patted Shen Jue on the shoulder.
