Legend had it that the Shadow Clan lived on a mysterious island that humans usually couldn't come into contact with. Even if they occasionally came to places where humans lived, it was as if they were invisible, and no one could see them at all. This was because as long as there was light, there would be shadows. They could hide under the shadows of people, trees, or walls, and humans wouldn't be able to detect them.
"Set sail!"
After receiving the order, the vice-captain hurriedly started the Winter Thunder according to the procedure. As long as the captain gave the order, it must have been confirmed. He didn't know what method Du Feng had used to escape the Shadow's assassination.
"The Winter Thunder has left the port."
On the first day, Du Feng had specially set up Netherworld Eyes at the port to monitor the Winter Thunder. From his observation, other than the four of them, the other passengers of the Winter Thunder had boarded the ship. However, the familiar girl still covered her face with a veil, and he couldn't recognize her.
"The Winter Thunder has left. Then we can go out and play."
Feng Leizi and Bi Yun had long been bored to death. They didn't go anywhere for three days and just stayed in the house to cultivate. Not to mention how tempting the beauties on the second floor and the delicacies on the first floor were, there were still many places to play on Brahma Sound Island. In addition, they also wanted to go to the largest trading market to buy some strange things.
"Don't worry!"
Theoretically, when the Winter Thunder left the port, the people on it would definitely leave with it. However, Du Feng still felt uneasy. That eerie and terrifying feeling just now couldn't be an illusion. He even suspected that if he hadn't set up a level-six formation, that mysterious thing might have attacked him.
"The shadow hasn't returned yet?"
After the Winter Thunder set sail safely, the vice-captain came to the secret room again. Because he couldn't feel the eerie and terrifying aura, he concluded that the shadow hadn't returned yet.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
The captain didn't answer him, and his face darkened.
"I was wrong!"
The vice-captain was so scared that he quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake. His legs went soft, and he almost knelt on the ground. If he didn't need to command the Winter Thunder, he might really have to kneel here for four hours. Since the shadow hadn't returned yet, it meant that the matter with Du Feng wasn't over yet.
The Winter Thunder had already left the port, but the shadow hadn't returned yet. Did he want to fly back halfway? The vice-captain thought about it and realized that it was possible. The Shadow Killer rarely returned empty-handed. He would not be satisfied until he killed Du Feng.
The vice-captain was right. The shadow killer was right outside the Crystal Palace. The sun shone on a coconut-tree in front of the door, and cast a shadow on the ground, in which he hid himself. There were so many martial artists passing by, but no one was able to discover him.
"What's going on? Why are you driving so slow?"
"They're moving so slowly. When will they arrive?"
When the Winter Thunder first left Brahma Sound Island, it was normal that it didn't speed up because the seawater was still shallow. But after more than an hour, he was still walking at a leisurely pace. The explorers started to collectively protest, asking for a refund and to return to Brahma Sound Island. They wanted to choose another ship to travel on.
Of course, this was just a joke. The Winter Thunder would not easily refund the ticket, and choosing another ship would definitely increase the cost. But after too many people made a fuss, the vice-captain was in a difficult position. When the VIP guests in the first-class cabin also started to reflect on this problem, the vice-captain really couldn't take it anymore. He could only brace himself and come to the secret room to ask the captain for advice.
"Got it. You can order for acceleration in fifteen minutes."
The captain's drooping eyelids rolled up, and two cold, sinister glints shot out of his eyes.
"This subordinate will take his leave!"
The vice-captain couldn't help but shiver. He hurriedly lowered his head and left the secret room. It was better not to disturb the captain if there was nothing important. Why did he feel that the old man was becoming more and more sinister and terrifying? He remembered that the old man used to be very benevolent. Ever since that incident, he had become more and more gloomy.
In the history of navigation, the Winter Thunder used to be a mysterious dead water zone. The so-called dead water zone was where the seawater did not flow. The ebb and flow of nature had no effect on that place. Once a ship entered the dead water zone, it was like falling into glue. Not only could it not sail with the power of the wind and tides, but it would also face a lot of resistance.
At that time, the Winter Thunder used up all the crystals on the ship, and the sailors were already exhausted, but they still couldn't sail out of the dead water zone. First, the passengers died mysteriously, and then the sailors, guards, and the vice-captain also lost consciousness. At that time, the vice-captain also died, but then he woke up for some reason.
When he woke up, he found that the Winter Thunder had sailed out of the dead water zone. The sailors and guards had also woken up, and the captain was fine and uninjured. It was just that the old man issued a gag order, forbidding anyone to speak of this matter. From then on, the Captain had an additional personal bodyguard, the Shadow Clan's Shadow Clan.
The shadow of the coconut tree outside the Crystal Palace inexplicably twitched. If anyone noticed it, they would definitely be shocked. Anyone would know that the shadow swayed along with the swaying of the original object. When the tree didn't move, the shadow couldn't move.
But there was no wind at the moment, and the coconut tree didn't sway at all, but its shadow inexplicably twitched. Du Feng, who was concentrating on training in the room, suddenly felt his body and mind relax. He knew that the danger was over. He didn't know what was staring at him before, but his heart was always hanging in his throat and couldn't sink down.
A string of strange waves appeared on the coastline, as if someone was skipping stones on the water. Some small sea beasts tried to approach the string of waves, but as soon as they got close, they realized that something was wrong and quickly fled in the opposite direction.
The vice-captain guessed wrong. The shadow didn't fly back, but walked on the water and rushed back close to the sea surface. Because there were no shadows in midair, it was not suitable for the shadow to hide. There were waves on the sea, and each wave would form a shadow. He hurried close to the water surface, very fast, and would not be discovered by anyone.
"Xiaobei, accompany me to buy something."
Du Feng unlocked the formation in the room and invited Gu Xiaobei to go to the Beck-shaped trading market with him. After all, he was a know-it-all on the sea, so he should listen to Gu Xiaobei's advice to avoid being cheated.
"Okay, Brother Du, don't worry."
