At the same time.
Compared to the demise of the Lin brothers and the Jia brothers.
The area within the "Black Fog Zone" appears much calmer.
The Ghost slowly came to a stop at the end of the Black Mist, remaining motionless.
Haiyi rested his chin on his hands, squinting as he looked straight ahead, as if deep in thought...
"What's wrong, Haiyi?"
"If you don't catch up soon, Zheng Hao will leave you in the dust!"
The ghost appeared suddenly in front of Hai Yi, its hands waving in front of Hai Yi's eyes with a curious expression.
"No, no, no..."
"【Ghost】, don't you find this strange?"
"Huh? Strange? What's strange?"
"Look, it's true that Zheng Hao is so fast that he disappeared without a trace... but those three [A-rank ship girls], under the same speed limit, can only reach a maximum of [30] revolutions per minute..."
"At least I was driving at 40 RPM..."
"Given the fog, there's no reason they could have completely shaken me off..."
Haiyi pointed to the endless waterway directly ahead, his eyes gleaming.
"you..."
"What are you trying to say, Haiyi?"
[Ghost] still didn't understand Haiyi's meaning. Haiyi smiled and said, "We seem to be moving forward, but is it possible that... we've been standing still all along?"
"Huh? How is that possible!"
[Ghost] was puzzled, but Haiyi didn't say anything more. He just kept staring at the [location map] in his head.
They still hadn't gotten even a fraction closer to the "check-in point"!
"Tsk..."
"Perhaps we'll find out soon enough..."
He didn't rush to act, but instead looked at the tattered "Smoke" behind him.
He only needs to "check in" and he doesn't care about rankings or rewards.
"Zhou Hang..."
"Aren't you going to take action yet?"
The old man looked behind him with an air of composure.
"Creak~"
"Creak~"
In a corner of the Black Mist, the drafty Smoke Ship at the stern causes green swamp liquid to splash into the Captain's Cabin if it moves too much. The small boats navigate the water as carefully as paper boats.
"Zhou Hang! Zhou Hang!!!"
"I hate you! I hate you!!!"
"You good-for-nothing, all you do is yell and scream!!!"
Liu Ruyan's particle light and shadow were now completely distorted. The light and shadow on her hips dissipated, and only her upper body and lower legs were intermittently suspended in the air. Her wrinkled lips opened, revealing a mouthful of missing teeth, as she continuously hurled vicious curses.
"It's hopeless..."
"It's hopeless..."
Zhou Hang lay sprawled in front of the helm, like a dead dog.
win?
How can we possibly win?
In my current state, and with the [Smoke Ship] in its current condition, should I risk my life to chase after the [Purple and Green Sword]?
My aunt is gone, my old servant is gone, the Zhou family is gone, my lifespan is gone, my master is gone...
Now, even the last chance is gone...
he...
There's no chance of turning things around!
"......"
Sitting dejectedly on the ground, Zhou Hang had given up all thoughts of resistance.
"Puff puff puff~"
The thick fog was gradually dissipating, and at the very back... the red ship that had been silent from the beginning was slowly rising and falling in the water, seemingly in no hurry to leave the [Black Fog Zone].
"Rat-a-tat-tat~"
The ship slowly turned in the black mist, as if it were about to turn around.
The crimson hull passed by the wrecked stern of the [Smoke Ship]. Zhou Hang's blank gaze suddenly paused.
"etc..."
"etc..."
"This isn't a speed race...it's an exploration race...If I can get close to this ship, kill the navigator on board, and steer this ship...is there still a chance?"
He thought with ill intent.
【Black Mist Hidden Dragon】possesses absolute close-combat skills.
I am certain that I will be able to get close to the red ship.
In other words, I am certain that I can jump onto the mahogany ship and forcefully break down the door to the captain's cabin.
This is the [Adventure Race], where you can do anything without any moral boundaries and no one will condemn you.
"This ship..."
"The attributes look pretty good..."
"Once her navigator dies, how could this ship girl possibly disobey me in a place like this?"
His dark, triangular eyes narrowed; Zhou Hang had completely lost his mind at that moment.
He even considered abandoning Liu Ruyan, whom he had pursued his entire life.
He'll do anything as long as he can win, as long as he can survive!
Even if...
Sacrifice Liu Ruyan and kill the navigator!
"Hmph..."
"Hmph..."
He exhaled breaths of stale air, and age spots appeared densely on Zhou Hang's skin. His breathing became heavy and long.
Starlight flickered as he squeezed out the last bit of magic power from his body.
"【Black Mist】..."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
Fog enveloped the waters once again.
At that time and at that moment.
Inside the mahogany boat, a ship girl with long, reddish-gold hair reaching her waist and wearing a jacket is looking at her navigator with a surprised expression.
Before the fiery red, feathered helm stood a tiny girl, only 1.56 meters tall, with twin ponytails pointing upwards.
Of course, calling her a "little loli" is just to describe the girl's appearance, temperament, dress, and actions, which are quite like those of a child.
In reality, Heca Ruth is already twenty-one years old.
But she was wearing a white shirt, jeans, and sandals, looking like a primary school student on a spring outing.
