Although the gloomy cultivators didn't dare to disobey the order, they all whispered to each other and lamented that the Domain Elder was muddle-headed. How could this brat possibly bring everyone out of this place alive?
Since the Domain Elder had spoken, the dust had already settled.
For this steel ship, the Domain Elder, who was at the Spirit River Great Realm, was equivalent to a god. He had supreme prestige and power.
"Let's make a bet."
Chu Chen suddenly raised his hand gently. "Those who don't accept me and don't believe that I can bring everyone out of this place can make a bet with me. If I successfully bring everyone out of this place alive, then the person who makes the bet with me will have to call me grandpa and say that he or she has eyes but can't see. Do you dare?"
Everyone was stunned. The fat cultivator flung his sleeve forcefully. "It's impossible for you to bring everyone out of this place alive. It's fine to bet, but if you lose, what's the use of calling us grandpa? Do you have anything to bet?"
Chu Chen nodded lightly and reached into his bosom to take out a purple medicinal talisman. "This is a Demon Resistance Talisman …"
Chu Chen didn't explain it in detail. These cultivators who had traveled extensively all knew the value of this medicinal talisman. Not only was it a high-grade talisman, it was also a dual-attribute medicinal talisman among high-grade talismans. It could be said to be a top-grade medicinal talisman, especially in the Bloody Sea Realm.
Chu Chen saw that many people's eyes lit up and said in a deep voice, "I don't have many of these medicinal talismans on hand right now. In order to not cheat everyone, I'll open up three spots for the bet. If I fail to bring everyone out of this place, the medicinal talisman will be yours. If you lose, call me grandpa and admit that you have eyes but can't see."
"I'll bet!"
The fat cultivator's eyes were filled with greed. In addition, he didn't like the main character, so he naturally had to grab this opportunity.
"Count me in." Fang Rentang stood up righteously.
"I don't believe that you can overturn the heavens. If we can really get out of here, I'll even dare to call you ancestor, let alone grandpa." The white-browed cultivator's face was filled with disdain. "I'll bet too!"
The three people took the initiative to bet. Many cultivators on the deck lamented that they reacted too slowly. At this moment, the three medicinal talismans were all supreme treasures. They didn't get this bargain.
"Alright, it's a deal."
After Chu Chen made the bet with the fat cultivator, Fang Rentang, and the white-browed cultivator, Qiu San personally pushed the wheelchair to the cockpit at the top of the cabin.
Behind him, Elder Lingxin, Fang Rentang, the elder's servant, the fat man, and the white-browed cultivator all walked in.
The cockpit of a steel tower ship was different from that of an ordinary ship. A steel tower ship was hundreds or even thousands of feet long, and weighed millions of pounds.
If one wanted to make such a behemoth sail in the ocean, it would be impossible to rely on things like sails or oars.
The most important source of power for this kind of ship was the array formation. Layers of array formations were distributed in every part of the ship, controlling the direction and speed of the entire ship.
The cockpit was where all the arrays were gathered. It was also the place with the densest and most detailed arrays on the entire ship.
The enormous cockpit occupied an area of several acres, and numerous cultivators were bustling about within it. They were injecting spirit energy into the formation, correcting loopholes, and controlling the movement of the ship. It was a bustling scene.
In the center of the cockpit, there was an octagonal altar about ten feet tall that stood in the void.
A thin man with a dignified expression stood on the altar. His eyes were like those of an eagle, and there was an indescribable sharpness in them.
In front of him, a crystal the size of a washbasin floated in the void. It was surrounded by light screens made of spirit energy, and the various movements of the ship were clearly displayed on them.
The man on the altar was the helmsman of this steel tower ship. He wore tight leather armor, python boots, and a pure black robe. His eyes were as sharp as hooks, and he sat upright and still, looking at the huge spirit energy screens around him.
His sitting posture was extremely square, and his back was straight. His expression was meticulous, revealing a strict military style.
Seeing everyone walk over, the helmsman raised his gaze and cupped his hands towards Qiu San, "What orders does the president have for us?"
"Well, sorry to trouble you, Helmsman Zhou. For the rest of the time, this little brother will be in charge of the entire ship." Qiu San nodded at the helmsman and gently patted Chu Chen in front of him.
"Oh?"
Helmsman Zhou narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Chu Chen with a trace of suspicion in his eyes, "Little brother, are you an expert helmsman?"
Helmsman Zhou found that the scene in front of him was really strange. The president, who usually didn't care about sailing, actually personally brought a young man over and said that he wanted to take charge of the ship. There was a group of people following them, and they all looked worried. It was a little strange no matter how he looked at it.
"Helmsman, you flatter me."
Chu Chen nodded generously and smiled slightly, "I'm not an expert helmsman, but I have some talent and can lead the ship out of trouble."
Helmsman Zhou frowned. He still didn't know what Chu Chen was up to.
However, he turned his head and saw that Qiu San and Elder Lingxin were nodding, as if they really wanted him to take charge of the steel tower ship.
Helmsman Zhou was stunned for a moment. Although he was very reluctant, he had always been in the army of the Great Xiao Dynasty and had always obeyed orders unconditionally.
Therefore, he finally sighed helplessly, "Little brother, how are you going to take charge? How should I cooperate?"
"It's very simple. I'll tell you where to go, and you just have to control the ship. But wait a moment."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he immediately closed his eyes, leaving the group of people looking at each other. He entered a meditative state and began to open his spiritual sense to lock onto something in the Blood Sea.
Helmsman Zhou pointed at Chu Chen, whose eyes were tightly closed, and then looked at Qiu San, meaning to ask if this was really okay.
Qiu San nodded his head in affirmation. He could only sigh again.
After about the time it took for three incense sticks to burn, Chu Chen opened his eyes. Regardless of the impatient expression on the group of people's faces, he directly ordered Helmsman Zhou.
"Go forward for three hundred feet, then full rudder to the left, sail for six hundred and thirty feet, then full rudder to the right, sail for four hundred and thirty feet, then full rudder to the right."
"What? Why does the ship have to sail around? There are no obstacles in this sea. We can go straight ahead! Little brother, don't mess around! "
Helmsman Zhou's face darkened. He and his group were serious and responsible. Moreover, there were many taboos in sailing on the sea, especially for large ships like the steel tower ship. If possible, sailing with full rudder was the most taboo.
This was because once the full rudder was turned, the balance of the entire ship could be destroyed, and it could easily capsize. Obviously, this lame young man was a layman.
"Just do as he says."
Qiu San said word by word without any explanation.
Helmsman Zhou sighed helplessly again. He had to start issuing orders to the crew around him. The entire steel tower ship began to operate at full speed and began to sail in a strange way.
