304: Yusuke the Invincible

Hua Mulan and Han Xin both pouted, turning their heads to look at the sea, not joining in on their family's drama.

The two of them whispered to each other while looking at the sea, and no one knew what they were talking about, but they were even laughing and chatting, completely uninterested in playing peacemaker for him.

Han Huohuo was so angry he almost wanted to kick the two of them into the sea, the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Mu Jiu was a smart girl and didn't make a fuss; she came over and gently wiped off the lipstick mark on Han Huohuo's face.

“Be more careful next time, don’t let me see it, otherwise I’ll be unhappy.”

“Of course, no, it’s not that I don’t want you to see it, it’s that it definitely won’t happen again!”

Han Xin and Hua Mulan turned back to look at the two of them, very disappointed. Is that all? Mu Jiu was too soft, they exchanged glances, considering whether to add fuel to the fire or something.

In the distance, there was thunder and lightning. Han Huohuo thought it was going to be cloudy and rainy, but when he looked up, it turned out to be Thor and Northern Darkness chasing each other in the sky.

These two guys were incredibly strong; even a casual spar would result in thunder and lightning, which was too terrifying. All the cranes and seagulls flew about chaotically, trying to dodge.

“You two, don’t scare anyone!”

“Caw!”

Seeing Han Huohuo displeased and not having fought to their heart's content, Northern Darkness and Thor had no choice but to fly into the distance, beyond the large ship, to continue their sparring at sea. It turned out that Northern Darkness had suddenly had an epiphany and comprehended a new combat skill. It couldn't find anyone else to practice with, so it could only find Thor.

Actually, Han Huohuo could also spar with Northern Darkness, but Northern Darkness was reluctant. How could it bear to fight with its father? It would only act if its mother needed it…

Before long, that flamboyant Pirate King was chasing a shark wildly across the sea, scaring the shark into a frantic escape ahead of him.

No one is unafraid of a madman, and sharks are no exception.

The Pirate King's water walking was actually similar to Han Huohuo's Wave-Treading Boots.

One downside of the ocean in this world was its extreme desolation; after thousands of miles, not even a single island or reef was seen.

The advantage was that the seawater was extremely deep, hundreds of times deeper than the oceans on Earth, so there was no fear of the ship running aground or hitting reefs; just charging forward was the right thing to do.

After sailing for a few more days, Han Huohuo had the Distant Voyage stop. It was still a thousand miles from the Sea Eye, but it could no longer sail further because a giant vortex had appeared at the Sea Eye, and this vortex had a radius of a thousand miles.

The vortex emitted a terrifying roar, and the waves were hundreds of meters high, looking like the end of the world from afar. Even with the Distant Voyage's size, it looked like a speck of dust, completely daring not to approach.

Han Huohuo was a bit dumbfounded. How in the world was he supposed to go into the sea?

Just looking at the vortex would scare him half to death.

He rode Northern Darkness and flew into the air to scout.

How terrifying was a vortex with a thousand-mile radius? It was like a Demon's gaping maw, its roar deafening. Northern Darkness didn't dare to approach the sea surface, flying extremely high, and looking down from the sky, the sea churned violently.

The power of the sea surface alone was already something ordinary humans could not contend with, and beneath the vortex, there was even greater pressure, capable of tearing even steel into shreds.

After circling around, just as they were about to reach the Sea Eye, a huge suction force caused Northern Darkness to instantly drop several thousand meters, scaring little Northern Darkness into howling and flying away.

Only an ancient exotic beast like Northern Darkness, flying at ten thousand meters high, managed to escape this ordeal.

Both the man and the bird were terrified and dared not linger in the sky, quickly returning to the Distant Voyage.

Seeing the immense power of the Sea Eye, Han Huohuo was at a loss, not knowing what to do. Forget going down into this Sea Eye, even getting close would result in being torn to pieces.

This Sandru truly was a scoundrel; wasn't he deceiving himself?

Han Huohuo's face was instantly filled with worry.

Northern Darkness suddenly came over, cawing loudly.

Han Huohuo listened carefully, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: “You mean, there’s an archipelago on the other side of the vortex?”

Northern Darkness tilted its head: “Caw!”

Han Huohuo nodded: “I understand!”

He went to the main control room again and re-set the course. He planned to bypass this vortex and look on the other side. Northern Darkness said it saw an archipelago there, and Han Huohuo intended to see what was there.

This detour was extremely long; it took many days to finally bypass it. After reaching the other side of the vortex and sailing for several hundred more miles, the outline of land finally appeared in the distance.

Han Huohuo saw ships, sailboats!

It seemed to be a very ancient era here. Around the Great Qian Empire, steam engines were common, and even wooden ships were magically powered.

But the ships here were genuine sailboats, using the most basic wind power.

A huge island moved from the distance, which was truly surprising. A large group of sailboats emerged from the archipelago, gathering to observe this strange floating island.

This is the Qian Ma Islands, and also a group of Pirates. There is a Pirate Chieftain here named Lord Yousuke. This person is an external Lord who transmigrated to this remote corner and, having no rivals throughout the Qian Ma Islands, was extremely arrogant.

One day, his subordinates reported that a strange large island had drifted over. He was greatly surprised, thinking, *Are there such strange things in this world?*

He immediately boarded a ship to investigate.

Not only did Lord Yousuke see an island floating, but he also saw flags on the island, indicating it was an inhabited island.

His heart was uneasy, unsure of who these newcomers were.

Han Huohuo looked from afar. These guys had shabby sailboats, and their wood was haphazardly pieced together; they were too backward and looked quite pathetic. He decided to deal with these people discreetly. His main purpose in coming here was actually to inquire about the Sea Eye.

A larger sailboat, surrounded by all the other ships, had a burly fellow standing at its bow, shouting through a megaphone: “Who goes there? Stop immediately! Ahead is the Qian Ma Islands, a place with a master. Do not proceed further.”

Han Huohuo borrowed a small wooden boat from Jiang Xiaowen, and he, accompanied by Thor, went to meet them, just the two of them.

Driving directly in front of the sailboat, Han Huohuo shouted loudly to the bow: “Brothers, we are just passing through, here to resupply and inquire about something.”

His voice was full of vigor; he didn't need a megaphone, and the other side heard him clearly.

Lord Yousuke saw Han Huohuo's small, dilapidated boat and felt contempt. Then he looked up at the giant floating island in the distance, and greed immediately surged within him.

A man named Hanzō beside him whispered in his ear: “King, I see his island is quite magical, able to float on the sea, but look at his broken wooden boat; it clearly has no combat power. How about we kill these people and seize this island?”

What this fellow said resonated perfectly with Lord Yousuke. He looked around; behind him, a thousand sails blocked the sun, and warships gathered. He thought he was already the most powerful navy in this world. Although he had heard in forums that the Great Qian Empire's Devil Sea also had Pirates, they only had three to five large and small ships. How could they compare to him?
