Chapter 286: Setting Sail

~7 min read 1,364 words

"The starting price is ten thousand Gold Soul Coins; esteemed guests, you may now place your bids." The auctioneer announced the price.

Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins is a quite significant sum, but compared to the value of this Longyuan Boat, it is still far from enough.

This Longyuan Boat can dive three hundred meters deep, which shows the quality of its materials; it is definitely a rare Soul Guidance Device.

However, when the host announced the starting price, not a single person in the auction house placed a bid, and the scene suddenly appeared cold and quiet.

No one bid, not because the Longyuan Boat was not good, but because its utility was truly a bit of a "chicken rib."

In shallow sea areas, ordinary ships are sufficient for passage.

And a fairly decent pleasure boat only costs one hundred Gold Soul Coins. For this Longyuan Boat's function to just add diving, it is a hundred times more expensive.

Even nobles would not be extravagant enough to buy it.

A trace of disappointment appeared in the host's eyes; in fact, this Longyuan Boat had not been auctioned for the first time.

It had already failed to sell several times, and every time it came up for auction, this kind of cold, quiet scene would occur.

It is said that painting the hull iron-colored can avoid attacks from Sea Soul Beasts as much as possible.

From Haide'er's introduction, everyone learned that the Sea Demon had a total of four crew members.

"Good, this gentleman number three hundred sixty-six bids ten thousand Gold Soul Coins. Is there any further increase?"

"Welcome to the Sea Demon."

Although the vast sea is full of powerful Sea Soul Beasts, the vast sea also holds endless wealth. Relying on the sea to eat from the sea has long become the unchanging truth of Hanhai City.

Today's weather is very good, the sea is calm, and the Sea Demon's hull is quite large. After weighing anchor, with the sailors' efforts, it very easily sailed away from the port and straight into the vast sea.

You really have to thank the late Prince Xue Xing for giving that supreme treasure to yourself.

While speaking, my gaze swept over everyone, but when it passed over the stunning woman, it did not linger for too long.

Because I possess the Vast Sea Universe Shield, I had already explored the functions of the Vast Sea Universe Shield long ago.

The scenery of the vast sea cannot be replaced by any other scenery; without having truly been to the vast sea, one can never feel that magnificent sensation.

It can generate an invisibility shield; if combined with this Longyuan Boat, it would simply be invincible.

"Weigh anchor, set sail."

Seasickness!

Captain Haide'er smiled with great poise.

Everyone had arrived, and at Captain Haide'er's order, the Sea Demon officially set off.

Besides me as the captain, there was also one first mate and three crew members.

This kind of deliciousness, which is rarely eaten inland, can be said to be very satisfying to eat.

Exiting the city from the west gate of Hanhai City,

The hull length reaches twenty meters, and the width is also over twenty meters; although it is not considered large among sea ships, it is also quite large.

The entire hull is painted iron-colored.

The wharf here is extremely large, with at least fifty piers several hundred meters long extending into the vast sea, where hundreds of sea ships are docked.

"Welcome, beautiful ladies, and of course, handsome gentlemen. It seems this journey will be very moving. Very happy to be able to serve you."

This place can be said to be the starting point and end point of sea trade.

Approaching the vast sea, most of it is saline-alkali land, which is fundamentally unsuitable for planting crops, and only the various creatures in the vast sea can bring benefits to Hanhai City.

As for the return trip, we can only rely on our own abilities.

Ye Lin remembered that the original plot was because the captain's people had evil intentions, which was why things finally happened.

After lunch,

Because the remaining few people,

A clear voice came from the front row. It immediately attracted the attention of the whole room, but unfortunately, the environment inside the auction house was pitch black.

The Sea Demon has a total of three levels. Two levels above the deck, one level below.

The only ones who could maintain this state of mind were Tu Cheng, Da Wu, and Dai Mubai.

The next morning,

Following the special path paved on the reef outside the city, we descended the reef and headed straight for the wharf.

The sea breeze howled, bringing bursts of chill in this late autumn season. Fortunately, none of the group were ordinary people, and their physical resistance was extremely strong, so this bit of cold wind was nothing to them.

Only the deck is decorated with red and white paint.

Although chartering this ship cost a lot of money, as long as we can successfully reach Sea God Island, it is worth it.

And there are three rooms on the level above the deck, which is more than enough for nine people to live in.

All you can see is that raised luminous auction paddle.

But Tang Ba felt it was just right.

His voice revealed an irrepressible excitement and eagerness, as if fearing the bidder would go back on their word, he quickly completed the transaction.

The boundless sea surface, with the water and sky meeting in the distance. At this time, the sun had already risen from the east, shining on the sea surface with sparkling waves.

Several people stood on the second-level deck of the Sea Demon without exception, looking at the charming scenery of the vast sea.

Longyuan Boat is a "chicken rib."

Lunch was naturally dominated by marine life, a few ordinary sea fish, boiled in clear water and served with a little green vegetable purchased from Hanhai City.

Especially that Captain Haide'er specifically added a few huge crabs for us.

The rich smell of the vast sea began to assault our sense of smell from the moment everyone boarded the ship.

When the Sea Demon completely sailed into the vast sea and left the port area, Captain Haide'er gave an order, the main sail was hoisted, the direction was adjusted, and it accelerated toward our destination.

The sea breeze blew on our bodies; although it was a bit cold, it also seemed to blow open everyone's hearts, and the indescribable sense of relief made everyone feel a bit excited.

Just as everyone boarded the large ship along the deck, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties greeted them, making a welcoming gesture with a loud laugh.

Even if people die in the mouths of Sea Soul Beasts in the vast sea every year, it still cannot change this situation.

The auction continued, with one auction item after another being presented, proceeding in an orderly fashion. The one who had previously won the Longyuan Boat was none other than Tang Ba.

The Shrek monster plus Tang Ba almost crossed the entire city.

Very quickly, Ye Lin led the group to find the sea vessel rented that day.

Looking out into the distance from the top level, it had a unique charm.

Although there was nothing special about it, everyone still ate with great relish.

"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins for the first time, second time, third time, sold."

It is precisely by relying on the vast sea that the people here are able to exchange for various resources.

It is also a huge source of income for the entire Hanhai City.

However,

Looking closely, one could discover that beneath the iron-gray paint on the exterior of the hull was a thick layer of iron plating, protecting the ship's body.

This was a brand-new sea vessel, and it looked quite impressive.

The crew members lived below.

The auctioneer's eyes lit up.

As the party spending the money, Tang Ba and the others naturally lived on the two levels above the deck.

"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins."
