After hearing the pirate's warning, the captured pirate yawned lazily. Philip, who was in the midst of changing shifts, walked out. With bloodshot eyes, he issued a command in exhaustion.
"Then full speed ahead."
That pirate's eyes widened in fright, as he thought he had misheard the command. Instead, the other pirates had already raised their sails with great effort, as they raised their sails once again! The oarsman added more strength, and the wide oars sank deep into the sea. He then pushed the oars back, and white foam and waves splashed onto the bow of the ship.
"You guys are crazy!! This world has gone crazy! "
That pirate immediately shook off his comrade, as he frantically pounced towards the nearby mast and hugged it tightly. In his 15 years of pirate career, he had witnessed at least 8 unlucky fools being tossed into the sea after a violent collision. Only 2 survived, and he absolutely didn't wish to be the 9th.
Instead, the entire ship merely shook slightly. It could be said that if a full cup of wine was placed on the table, only a few drops of wine would spill out. That pirate who was tightly hugging the mast was startled, as he scanned his surroundings with an astonished gaze. However, his eyes could only see his comrade's distorted face from his maniacal laughter, and his ears could only hear the unbridled ridicule.
"Wahahaha, another one."
"Look at his pitiful appearance."
"Fuck, that's my brother, don't you f * cking laugh at us. You idiot, you didn't look any better when we collided last night."
“.....”
Listening to the lively chatter of the surrounding pirates, that pirate gradually loosened his grip. His face was filled with bewilderment as he hesitantly asked.
"This ….. the collision ended just like that?"
His comrade walked over, as he yawned loudly. Looking extremely fatigued, he should be the night shift crew from last night.
"Yes."
"Then, but did that wolf fang reef simply vanish?" That pirate asked in surprise.
"Of course it broke!" That pirate replied unconcernedly. "Since 2 o'clock last night, we've been sailing into the reef area of this sea area. Collisions like the one just now happened at least a dozen times last night. Do you guys who sleep like pigs feel any bumps or bumps? That can only mean one thing, the hardness of those reefs cannot compare to the bottom of our ship ….. "
"The hardness of those reefs cannot compare to the bottom of our ship!" Another pirate by his side was beaming with joy as he repeated that sentence. "Woah, I love that sentence. Let me tell you guys, even if our ship sails to hell, it will absolutely not sink! It's said that there's a tamed devil parasitizing our ship. I firmly believe, from now on, the three legendary pirate ships will become the four legendary ships! "

At this moment, Philip had already begun handing over his duties to Blacksail, while Sheyan listened by the side.
"Our current course is a straight line towards the coordinates of Treasure Island. Last night, we should've entered the dangerous reef region of the Lost Sea. Fortunately, these submerged reefs are like natural moats and natural enemies to other ships. They don't pose a threat to us at all."
"You can't say that." Spicer strolled over and earnestly explained. "I've just inspected the ship's bow. Those reefs have caused a certain degree of damage to the ship's hull. However, the Dingyuan possesses a tyrannical self-regenerative capability, and the damages haven't manifested yet."
"Till now, due to the accelerated regeneration of the ship, nearly half of the flesh essence of those legendary creatures absorbed by the Dingyuan has been consumed. If the flesh essence is completely exhausted, then consecutively colliding with 2-3 wolf fang reefs, the ship's hull will similarly suffer grave damages. Most crucially, we haven't discovered any marine life in this damned place. I reckon the Dingyuan will have a hard time replenishing itself. "
After listening to Spicer's analysis, Sheyan glanced towards Taitish. Taitish nodded her head, silently agreeing with his words. Sheyan then muttered.
"Regarding the scarcity of life in the Lost Sea, I can add a point. It doesn't mean there aren't any life forms here, but most of them have been preyed upon. Without a doubt, if we continue venturing deeper into the Lost Sea, we won't even need to search for them. Those hungry and lustful bastards will naturally find us. "
"From now onwards, Davis, you shall supervise Old Blindee. Absolutely forbid him from touching alcohol, garlic or anything spicy that could affect his sense of smell. If he's hungry, just feed him butter, water and bread. Make sure he pays attention to his surroundings! Currently, our limit is a tier-6 legendary creature. Tier-7 and above will likely suffer tremendous losses. Hence, we must discover them in advance and expel them in time to prevent unnecessary casualties. "
Everyone present knew of the relationship between Sheyan and that freak Paul. Hence, they didn't doubt Sheyan's words of expelling legendary creatures. Davis was currently Sheyan's most fanatical and loyal subordinate. With him supervising Old Blindee, it would truly ensure no slip-ups. However, Old Blindee would probably be in agony for a few days.
At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly drifted in from the distant skies. That sensation was akin to a gigantic and heavy roller slowly rolling across the horizon, never ceasing. Following that, the sky rapidly darkened, as though the sun that was originally obscured by the gloomy clouds and grey fog had been extinguished.
Following that, a violent gale and torrential downpour descended in a flash! "Da Da Da!" Crisp sounds akin to frying beans could be heard from the deck. Hailstones were shockingly pelting down! In this instance, everyone's countenance changed. Only Sheyan immediately issued an order.
"Everyone, immediately withdraw to the deck!"
"Lower both anchors!"
"Immediately remove the Baladine Bloodsail and increase the ship's weight!"
"Taitish, activate the strength of the Sea Giant's Tendons!"
Sheyan's command was akin to a heavy power switch, as it swiftly and effectively executed.
Taitish's hands emitted a black glow as she held onto her newly purchased crystal ball and muttered to herself. Then, under the illumination of the black glow, the rigid and gigantic vessels that wound around the ship's hull – the Sea Giant's Tendons – started squirming rapidly. The sails hanging from the mast of the Dingyuan swiftly rolled up along with the contraction of the vessels. In a blink of an eye, the entire ship had transformed into a gigantic, sealed and glossy coffin. Only five lonely masts remained on the ship's hull, resembling five disdainful middle fingers as they mocked the thunderous skies.
The sea billowed furiously, but the entire Dingyuan remained firmly nailed to the surface of the sea. Inside the ship's hold, the pirates were chatting merrily, even drinking and gambling. At present, they were convinced that there was a powerful and evil devil on this ship, but this devil had been subdued by their captain, and could only obediently protect them.
Some daring pirates even tied ropes around their waists as they stood at the ship's bow, waving their fists and roaring loudly towards the sea. The content of their roars was nothing more than ridiculing the damnable storm. These pirates were generally born from primitive and barbaric races like the vikings. Once they could overcome the fear in their hearts, and harden their confidence to triumph over nature, their prowess would greatly increase.
The terrifying storm persisted for over an hour, yet it still couldn't do anything to the mighty Dingyuan. It could only helplessly recede, as the entire Lost Sea once again reverted to its dusky state. After issuing an order to inspect the ship, Sheyan resumed his journey into the depths of the Lost Sea …..
*****
In the following 24 hours, the Dingyuan once again encountered various kinds of difficulties. For example, the massive expanse of Sargasso Seaweed that they previously encountered. If Sheyan's flagship was still the Hill Maiden, it would definitely be a thorny problem. Because the Sargasso Seaweed Sea they encountered this time was much larger than the previous one.
Unfortunately, after encountering the Dingyuan, the Dingyuan's black magic naturally activated. It could easily corrode these creatures that were between plant and animal, and absorb their life essence. Although the conversion rate of the Sargasso Seaweed Sea into flesh essence wasn't high, it was still sufficient to corrode out a waterway.
After passing through the Sargasso Seaweed Sea, the Dingyuan once again encountered an assault from a legendary sea creature. This time, it was an assault from the incomparably ferocious Swordflag Fish. Even an ordinary Swordflag Fish could easily swim at a speed of over a hundred kilometres. Its long and sharp upper jaw resembled a Western sword. One could imagine how terrifying the onslaught of a legendary sea creature like that would be. Furthermore, to an ordinary ship, it was impossible to evade in the midst of the reefs. Instead, those reefs provided shelter for the Swordfish.
This time, Sheyan and the Dingyuan finally felt strained in dealing with the Swordfish. Fortunately, the 'Greenland Lethal Weapon' once again displayed its might and wounded two Swordfish. Following that, Sheyan unleashed his ultimate weapon. He tied a rope around 'Ambition', before tossing it into the sea.
In an instant, the aura of Kraken Paul, who was at the top of the food chain even among legendary creatures, spread out in all directions. The attack of the Swordfish that could only be considered as a tier-7 Swordfish immediately came to a halt, before finally retreating resentfully. The awe-inspiring might of such a supreme overlord of the ocean, wasn't something they could withstand. (To be continued.)
