Above the blue sea, waves rippled.
A steam-powered yacht emitted black smoke as it sailed forward. In the sky not far away, white seagulls flew low over the sea, cawing leisurely.
"Steven, do you want to go fishing?"
Weidi and Philip wore gaudy beach pants and unbuttoned shirts, revealing most of their chests. They wore straw hats, and their skin was turning a healthy wheat color due to the scorching sun.
"No, I want to read a book!"
Wu Ming waved the tome in his hand.
For those who did not know the inside story of the Teachings of the End, the scribbles on it would dazzle them. Wu Ming did not even bother to hide it.
"How boring! Alice really wants you to help her put on sunscreen … "Weidi complained.
"Also … according to Captain Viktor, we will reach the Red Coral Sea in a week's time …" Weidi complained.
This was the main destination of Wu Ming's trip. Although it was also a famous sightseeing holy land, he knew that there was a mysterious ruin hidden there through the channel of Charm Fox Dia.
"I got it …"
Wu Ming waved his hand, not even lifting his head.
"Really … don't know how to have fun …"
Weidi curled his lips and walked out with his arm around Philip's shoulder. "I'm going to catch a big fish today. You'll have a feast tonight, haha …"
…
"Innocent people are also quite blessed!"
Looking at the figures of Neville and the others playing on the deck, Wu Ming smiled. His finger traced a few scarlet symbols on the page.
"'Scarlet Hand', a dark organization that has existed since ancient times … But it seems to be in decline now …"
Two figures instantly appeared in front of Wu Ming's eyes. It was Joseph and the gorgeous woman's figure.
Originally, he could have killed the Minotaur with a single punch. The reason why he kept the Minotaur alive for the time being was because he wanted to see who the mastermind was.
Fortunately, the two mutants still wanted to find out more about him, but they did not know that everything about him had already been seen by Wu Ming through the Tauren's spiritual intermediary.
Seductive Fox, who was guarding Port Victoria, had already begun to gather information on these two people.
"This world …"
The Teachings of the End only briefly recorded the origin and development of the Scarlet Hand, as well as several small blood rituals. If someone could really understand it or simply imitate it, there was a small possibility that they could use it to obtain some extraordinary power.
However, a trace of doubt appeared on Wu Ming's face.
"The upper limit of the Extraordinary is very high … Technology is quite advanced, far surpassing the Age of Steam in my previous life. But … is this really the world where the great being who created the Prime Shrine is from?"
Although the coordinates of this universe were left in the main temple by the original owner, Wu Ming could no longer be sure.
Perhaps this was just an interesting world that he had discovered and conveniently recorded it down.
Or perhaps, he had buried something in this universe, waiting for the fated person to discover it.
It was more likely that this was a trap filled with some kind of malicious intent.
"In short, I have to dig out all the deep secrets of the entire world. All the ruins, Extraordinary inheritances, and even the major forces have to be explored!"
Just because of the attention of the original owner of the main temple, Wu Ming made up his mind.
Anyway, with the lifespan of his main body, he could afford to waste this time. Moreover, this was just a clone here, and it would not be a problem to spend the rest of his life in this world.
Because of his rich accumulation of knowledge in this world, coupled with his understanding of extraordinary power, Wu Ming translated very quickly.
After half a day, he rubbed his eyes, stretched, and walked out of the cabin.
At this time, the setting sun had almost sunk into the bottom of the sea, with an orange-red color, and the surrounding sea was sparkling.
"What a nice sunset …"
Wu Ming smiled.
"Mr. Steven!"
Viktor, who was at the side, held a hawksbill pipe in his mouth and blew out a regular ring of smoke. "It's beautiful, isn't it?"
He looked to be in his forties, with an unshaven face that looked like it had been chiseled with a knife and axe. His temples were slightly white, and he looked like he had seen many things. It was the most standard look of an old sea dog.
"Captain Viktor, how many years have you been sailing?"
Wu Ming looked at Angelina, Alice, Lanny, and the other women who were preparing dinner and suddenly asked this question.
"How many years have you been sailing?"
Viktor laughed. "I was born on a fishing boat, and the sea is my home! From the age of seven or eight, I helped my family deal with the fish. It was only when I was twenty-seven that I finally saved enough money to buy my own boat. You ask me how many years have I been sailing? My age is the number of years I've been sailing! "
"Has the sea always been this beautiful?"
Wu Ming deliberately led the topic. "So peaceful and stable?"
"Peaceful and stable?"
Viktor seemed to have seen something inconceivable. He laughed heartily. "How is that possible? The sea isn't just like this. You haven't seen its angry side. Even if it's a purely sightseeing route, when the real storm comes, our boat might be destroyed! "
There was a perplexed look in his eyes. "This is just the coastal waters. If it was more than ten years ago, when we were exploring the routes to the various colonies, ships would be destroyed almost every day. Even if we found a new continent, it didn't mean we were safe. The poisonous arrows and witchcraft of those cannibals were enough to turn any strong lad into a corpse!"
"Especially the once prosperous slave trade. While robbing tens of millions of people, almost the same number died at sea … Ghost ships, ghost tides, sea monsters … It's simply endless! For example, the mysterious loss of the Saint Andes that caused an uproar previously. The entire ship disappeared, but the ship remained undamaged. Apart from the vengeance of those vengeful spirits, what else could it be? "
Perhaps it was because he had been sailing for a long time, but Captain Viktor was more of a believer in mystical powers, or perhaps superstition. He spoke of these things with great conviction.
Wu Ming was also listening with great interest.
Although most of the captain's stories were false, there was still a part that might be true.
"Mermaids, and ghost ships?"
Weidi came over, but curled his lips. "Uncle! What era is it now? Have you ever listened to the science forums on the radio or in the newspapers? That kind of mermaid is just a hazy half-body of a dolphin or some other fish. As for ghosts, it has long been proven by science that they don't exist. Those who hype these things are just gossip magazines that want to attract attention … "
"Haha … Little guy, I've sailed on the sea for more time than you have …"
Captain Viktor took a puff of his pipe and said slowly, "Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist!"
"Forget it, I'm more interested in fighting and fighting!"
Ever since he saw the destruction of the hotel, Weidi's interest seemed to have changed a little.
After all, the kind of destruction that could only be caused by an explosion was not something humans could do. After listening to Wu Ming's description, he was immediately filled with interest towards the limits of the human body.
Although Wu Ming was very suspicious of his original intention. Was it just to build up a firm body of muscles to attract girls? Anyway, with the difficulty of the training, this guy would probably complain after trying it out, right?
"Hmm, didn't you say you wanted to catch a big fish? Where's dinner? "
Wu Ming walked to the deck and looked at his companions who were having a meal together. There were scallops, crabs, and small fish a few inches long on the grill.
As for the unprecedentedly delicious big fish that Weidi promised, there was not a trace of it.
"This … Haha … Does the Goddess of Luck occasionally fail?"
Weidi rubbed his head and laughed awkwardly.
"Big brother, here!"
Angelina smiled fawningly and handed over the juice and grilled meat.
After all, she was just a little girl. After a few hints, her relationship with Wu Ming was getting better, and the others did not find it strange at all.
After all, travelling could indeed deepen one's relationship.
Just as the group was preparing to party through the night, a sailor walked over with a serious expression, "The captain has asked me to inform our guests that there might be a storm tonight, so it's best to stay in the cabin. Don't go out, and don't stay on the deck!"
"What kind of joke is this?"
Philip's cheeks were a little red from drinking too much rum. He pointed to the sky. Under the cover of the night, the moon and stars were especially dazzling, "There's not even a single cloud in the sky, how can there be a storm?"
"Things on the surface of the sea always happen very quickly!"
Wu Ming looked into the distance and muttered, "We have to believe in the captain's judgment. Let's go back, we can still play in the cabin anyway!"
"Really …"
As the true leader of the group, when Wu Ming spoke, even Weidi only mumbled a few words before obediently tidying up his things.
* Kacha! *
As they walked towards the cabin, not far away, a thick dark cloud floated over as if it had teleported. In an instant, it covered most of the sky.
Lightning danced wildly, and the sea breeze grew stronger.
Crack!
Another earth-shattering sound rang out, causing Angelina, Lanny and the other girls to scream.
In the next instant, large drops of rain came crashing down.
The sea that had been calm and tranquil finally revealed its savage side!
In the darkness, the yacht began to sway violently.
The storm was coming!
"O … Alright! Steven, you're right! "
Weidi grabbed the railing beside him, his face pale, "Indeed, this kind of weather is no longer suitable to stay outside. Let's go back immediately!"
