Chapter 372: Arrival

Ten days later.

After experiencing yet another terrifying storm, the Red Skull Ship finally emerged, trembling, from the Dark World.

The black night suddenly receded, and light appeared abruptly.

When the long-lost sun reappeared above everyone's heads, and the gloomy ocean returned to its charming azure, in this instant, it was as if the dead world had come back to life.

Everyone's gloomy hearts also suddenly brightened.

But, the danger still remained.

The sea area of the Nine Islands Kingdom, besides the Dark World, also had the Forbidden World.

The entire sea area here had been planted with restrictions.

There were Illusion Restrictions, Navigation Restrictions, extremely violent Storm Restrictions, and Poison Fog Restrictions that permeated for a thousand miles.

Fortunately, this was not the first time this Red Skull Ship had passed through here.

As the Captain of this Red Skull Ship, Hong Niao had already experienced a hundred battles here and accumulated too much experience.

Under his personal command, the Red Skull Ship turned left and right, unexpectedly sailing safely through one restriction after another.

At this moment, a poison fog blending green and red suddenly appeared ahead.

The entire sea surface was covered by the poison fog.

Relying on direction or taking a detour to pass through was clearly not very possible.

Just as everyone was worried in their hearts, not knowing how this large ship would get through, Shui Nan suddenly shouted: "Hold on tight!"

Suddenly, the sails were furled, and the entire large ship was shrouded in a thin layer of light screen.

Then, the ship's hull swayed and unexpectedly sank rapidly to the bottom of the water, then sailed forward from the seabed.

The seawater was blocked outside by the light screen.

Everyone stood on the deck, clearly seeing everything on the seabed.

The Red Skull Ship slowed down on the seabed and sailed slowly; the fish, shrimp, and even a few Sea Demons encountered were all ignored.

They passed through the poison fog area without any obstruction along the way.

Watching this scene, Wang Qiangzhuang and the others secretly rejoiced in their hearts; fortunately, they had obtained the help of this pirate king. If it were any other ship, let alone passing through this poison fog area, they feared they wouldn't even have been able to get through the previous Dark World.

Another ten days later.

On this day, the Red Skull Ship had already safely passed through the sea area of the Nine Islands Kingdom.

The sea surface ahead was calm and tranquil.

Those nine towering and gloomy giant islands had already been left far behind.

Looking as far as the eye could see, the mountain ranges on the shore were already vaguely visible.

Everyone stood on the deck, finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

The right side of the Red Skull Ship's hull already had a large hole, the stern had been almost entirely sheared off, and the bottom of the ship had also been emergency-patched several times.

A few days ago, they encountered some Sea Demons and only managed to break through after sacrificing four crew members.

At this time, both the ship and the people were covered in wounds and exhausted; if they encountered danger again, they would likely truly be buried at the bottom of the sea.

There was still the final leg of the journey left. Wang Qiangzhuang was terrified that some accident might occur, so her expression remained solemn, and she did not relax her vigilance, standing by the railing and scanning her gaze everywhere.

Seeing this, Shui Nan smiled and said: "It is safe here. This sea area has nothing to do with the Nine Islands Kingdom; they can no longer control it."

Hearing this, everyone was somewhat puzzled.

Yang Yan asked: "Then which country does this sea area belong to? Is it an ownerless area?"

"Could it be the Daughter Kingdom's?"

Little Daoist Yiye guessed.

Shui Nan smiled and did not answer.

Wang Qiangzhuang said with a serious face: "This sea area should be the sea area of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. The territories of the Nine Islands Kingdom and the Daughter Kingdom do not border each other. Between the two countries, there is still a vast territory; besides the continuous, heavy mountain ranges, there is also a large sea area, all of which is the territory of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons."

"The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons?"

Everyone was full of astonishment.

At this time, Shui Nan also looked at the mountain ranges towering into the clouds in the distance and said: "Miss Wang is right; this sea area indeed belongs to the territory of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons."

Yang Yan hurriedly asked: "Captain, then if we are going to the Daughter Kingdom, do we have to cross the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons?"

Wang Qiangzhuang nodded and said: "But don't worry, for passing travelers, whether human or demon, they will not pay any attention."

Shui Nan also said: "Even if you enter the territory of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, you might not necessarily be able to see their country and members. There are formations arranged in those mountains, and the entire Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is hidden within them; it is usually very difficult to see."

Luo Zijun stood by the railing, his gaze looking at the increasingly clear mountain ranges on the distant shore, and listening to the words of the few people, he couldn't help but secretly think: I wonder where Bai Daxiaojie is now?

These past few days, he had been using the Copper Mirror to send messages to Bai Daxiaojie.

Unfortunately, the other party did not respond.

"It might also be because of the restrictions in the sea area; perhaps the message was not sent out..."

He comforted himself this way.

At dusk, the Red Skull Ship finally docked safely.

Everyone cheered joyfully.

"Ah, woke up from a sleep, and we've actually arrived."

At this time, an old man leaning on a cane walked out from the cabin.

Looking closely, it was actually that Doctor Sun from Milong Island.

Luo Zijun was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to greet him, Doctor Sun immediately snorted coldly at him, and with a straight face said: "Others call you a divine doctor and fawn over you, but this old man will not even look at you properly!"

After saying this, he glanced at him sideways, then turned and went to the railing on the other side.

Seeing this, Shui Wu was also very puzzled and said: "Why did Doctor Sun come too?"

"Hua Liu, why are you still in a daze?"

Wang Qiangzhuang called the two people over, and the group wanted to go together to thank that Captain Red Bird, but they were stopped by two crew members.

"The Captain said, you should leave quickly; we also need to depart from here soon."

Wang Qiangzhuang had no choice but to let the two crew members convey his thanks on his behalf, and then, without lingering any longer, he led the others off the ship.

As soon as the group stepped onto the shore, they saw the Red Skull Ship had already begun to turn its bow, preparing to leave.

Watching this dilapidated large ship turn nimbly on the sea surface, and thinking of the wind, waves, and hardships along the way, now that they had finally stepped onto this land on the other side of the ocean, for a moment, a feeling of surviving a disaster welled up in the hearts of the few.

"Father!"

Shui Wu stood on the shore, looking at the figure leaning on a cane on the ship, her eyes full of tears.

Shui Nan stood by the railing, merely nodding slightly without speaking, nor did he wave to say goodbye.

The father and daughter parted just like that.

When they will meet again, no one knows, nor does anyone know where.
