There were a total of thirty-two cultivators in the Sang Clan's fleet this time. Apart from Sang Zhi and Uncle Tuo, there were only five true experts from the Sang Clan. The rest of the cultivators were all recruited.
The group of cultivators left Gourd City through the west gate. Then, everyone leaped into the air and flew towards the south of Gourd Island.
After flying for two hours, everyone arrived at the southern pier.
Sang Zhi walked to the shore. With a wave of her sleeve, a black light suddenly flew out.
The black light flew towards the surface of the sea. In an instant, it transformed into a large ship that looked like it was made of black iron.
Although this large ship did not look as resplendent as the Yun Clan's golden ship, it was about the same size. It was about eight thousand feet long and at least three thousand feet wide. It also looked heavy and sturdy.
The large ship was clearly a magic treasure of high quality, but it also had a mast and a sail. The tall and wide sail seemed to be made of iron, and it was actually able to flutter with the wind. On top of it, there was a large "Sang" character engraved.
"Let's board the ship!"
As Sang Zhi spoke, she took the lead and flew towards the large ship. A moment later, she landed on the deck of the large ship.
Uncle Tuo also flew onto the large ship. Xiao Lingyu, Miling, and the other cultivators followed closely behind.
When all the cultivators had boarded the large ship, Sang Zhi had already formed a hand seal and sent it into the disk-shaped rudder at the front of the ship.
The rudder rotated gently. Then, like an arrow leaving the bow, the large ship cut across the blue sea and sped away.
"Wah!!!"
Sang Zhi shouted excitedly.
Xiao Lingyu and the other crew members had just reached the deck. Before they could steady themselves, the large ship suddenly sped forward. They couldn't help but stagger and bump into each other.
Everyone couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
Tuo Bo stood very steadily, but his old face that was filled with wrinkles also revealed a helpless bitter smile.
It was obvious that this was Sang Zhi's first time out at sea. She wasn't even familiar with controlling this large ship of hers.
The big ship gradually sailed into the depths of the Calabash Bay's inner sea. Islands and smaller ships brushed past the big ship.
Sang Zhi's driving skills were nothing to be proud of. He always made sudden sharp turns, making everyone dizzy. Even if they grabbed onto something on the boat, it was difficult to stabilize their bodies.
Bang!!
The ship crashed into a small island with a dull thud.
The quality of this large ship naturally far surpassed the reefs of the small island. Coupled with its extreme speed, it pierced through the small island like a sharp sword.
There wasn't the slightest trace of damage to the hull of the ship, but its forward speed had slowed down slightly.
Everyone was complaining incessantly, but Sang Zhi was having fun. Uncle Tuo could only shake his head.
Uncle Tuo was strong enough to endure such turbulence. However, the other cultivators all felt their blood boil. Those with weaker cultivations even gradually turned pale.
Crashing into the small island wasn't a big deal. In this area of the sea near Calabash Island, there were countless ships of various sizes. Some of them were returning home, while others had just set sail. Sang Zhi didn't slow down. Instead, she kept accelerating. Coupled with the fact that this was her first time out at sea, it was inevitable that she would crash into other ships.
This black iron ship was huge and sturdy. It was like a giant moving at extreme speed. Regardless of whether it was a head-on collision or a rear-end chase, all the ships that were hit by it were reduced to smithereens.
It was almost as if it was running amok!
The cultivators on the ships that were smashed were either killed or injured. However, they could only admit that they were unlucky to have been hit by the Sang family's ship. The inner and outer seas of Calabash Bay weren't like Calabash City, where the City Lord's Office controlled the entire city. On the sea, everyone could only rely on their own abilities.
Sang Zhi didn't seem to have any goal in mind. She steered the ship and kept accelerating forward. It was as if she didn't come out to hunt sea beasts, but to have fun. She only wanted to experience the thrill of the ship moving at extreme speed.
This ship was moving at full speed. It was much faster than the Yun family's golden ship that Xiao Lingyu rode on last time. The Yun family's ship wasn't slow either. It was just that it didn't accelerate as fast as this black iron ship.
In only ten years, the black iron ship had already entered the depths of Calabash Bay's inner seas. They weren't far from the outer seas.
Uncle Tuo finally couldn't take it anymore. He walked to the ship's helm and said, "Third Young Miss, we should stop to hunt. If we continue like this, we'll rush out of the inner seas and reach the outer seas."
The cultivators on Calabash Island knew that the outer seas of Calabash Bay weren't a place that could be entered as one wished. There were many powerful sea beasts in the outer seas. Moreover, there were many powerful hurricanes that wreaked havoc. There were even some powerful experts from the Realm of Immortals.
It wasn't that the Sang family didn't dare to go to the outer seas. However, every time they went to the outer seas, they had to prepare carefully and bring along many experts from the family.
"What's the point of going to the inner seas? The inner seas are almost empty. Big Brother said that if we want to have a bigger harvest, we have to go to the outer seas."
Although Sang Zhi said this, she still gradually slowed down the ship.
After ten years of practice, her driving skills had improved a lot. The only thing she lacked now was experience in hunting.
"Third Young Miss, if you want to have a bigger harvest, this old servant knows of a good place in the inner seas." Uncle Tuo said with a smile.
"That's right. Big Brother also said that Uncle Tuo used to be our Sang family's most experienced sea hunter. He definitely knows a lot of good places. Come, take the helm."
Third Young Miss gave Uncle Tuo a lot of face. While praising him, she gave up the helm.
Third Young Miss had been at the helm for ten years. Although she enjoyed it to her heart's content, she was now a bit tired. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given up the helm so easily.
There was an iron rule in the Sang family that only direct descendants of the Sang family could steer the ship. However, Uncle Tuo was an exception. Not only was he not a direct descendant of the Sang family, he wasn't even a cultivator with the surname Sang. However, he was one of the most trusted cultivators of the Sang family.
Uncle Tuo's driving skills were naturally many times better than Sang Zhi's. Under his control, the ship's speed wasn't slow at all, but it was unusually stable.
After spending almost three months, the large ship sailed into a sea area that was occupied by countless islands under Tuo Bo's control.
The fog in this sea was rather heavy, but it didn't restrict their spiritual sense. It only affected their vision slightly.
As soon as they entered the sea, they could hear the angry roars of sea beasts. Outside the sea, there were almost no hunting ships.
"Could this be the Lost Islands?" Miling looked around on the deck and said in surprise.
Hearing Miling's voice, the crew on the deck all frowned.
Most of these crew members were experienced at sea. They seemed to be very afraid of the Lost Islands that Miling spoke of.
Everyone began to discuss. Sang Zhi also asked Uncle Tuo curiously, "Is this the Lost Islands?"
Uncle Tuo nodded, saying, "That's right. It is the Lost Islands."
Sang Zhi said in surprise, "I heard from Big Brother that the Lost Islands is a sea with no exit. This place seems to be covered by a naturally formed Lost Islands Formation. Large ships and cultivators who enter this place will quickly lose their sense of direction. It will be very difficult to find a way out. Why did you bring us here?"
Uncle Tuo smiled, saying, "Young Miss, could it be that you're afraid?"
Sang Zhi stared blankly for a moment, then patted her chest, saying, "My Sang Clan has never had anyone who is timid and afraid of trouble!"
After saying this, she said in a low voice, "Although I'm not afraid, we still have to take responsibility for these recruited crew members."
Uncle Tuo smiled again, saying, "Third Young Miss, if you want to obtain a rich harvest, you naturally have to take risks. Other places are safe, but they've been plundered countless times. Even if you've been out at sea for a hundred years, you won't have much harvest. Third Young Miss, don't worry. Since I've brought you here, I definitely have the confidence to bring you out. "
Sang Zhi thought for a moment and didn't say anything else.
"Is the Lost Islands very dangerous?" Xiao Lingyu asked Miling in a low voice.
Miling said with a bitter face, "If I knew we were going to come to the Lost Islands, I definitely wouldn't have come. In the past, I've gone out to sea many times, but only once did I almost lose my life. At that time, our ship almost sailed into the Lost Islands. At that time, the fog in the Lost Maze Islands overflowed and spread hundreds of kilometers around the vast sea. We all thought that we had mistakenly entered the Lost Maze Islands. Fortunately, we didn't really enter the Lost Maze Islands and only circled around the periphery. If not for the fog dissipating in time, we might have lost our lives in the mouths of the sea beasts that rushed out of the Lost Islands. Entering the Lost Islands, not only will we lose our way, we will also be attacked by countless powerful sea beasts. The sea beasts in the Lost Islands usually won't go out easily. That time, they might have gone out because of the fog. "
"Then we'll have to be more careful." Xiao Lingyu said with narrowed eyes.
"That's natural. However, this time, we might be able to make a huge profit. With an experienced and powerful expert like Uncle Tuo keeping watch, we won't have to worry too much. " Miling's nervous expression gradually turned into anticipation. After all, worrying was useless. The ship had already sailed into the Lost Islands.
"That's strange. Our spiritual sense isn't restricted at all. How can we lose our way?" Xiao Lingyu was puzzled.
"Hehe, this Lost Islands is like a mystery to the cultivators of Gourd Bay. No cultivator can explain the strange situation here. They can only speculate that there's a natural formation here." Miling said with a smile.
Roar!!!
Just as Miling finished speaking, the roar of a sea beast suddenly sounded.
Then, a sea snake with a waist thicker than a bucket revealed half of its body on the surface of the sea. It swayed its body in the fog.
The sea snake opened its bloody mouth. Its two venomous fangs were like two sharp swords. Its two triangular eyes also shone with a strange green light.
Just as everyone was shocked, the sea snake's tail rose from the water and fiercely slapped the bow of the ship.
