Chapter 194: Pirates Enter the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Domain
Zhang Fan and the others arrived at the auction house.
The items on the auction stage were being switched out.
The host announced loudly, "Next up for auction is a Soul Tool, perfect for use in shallow waters, the Dragon Abyss Boat, hailed as the conqueror of the sea."
The auctioneer's words immediately drew the attention of Zhang Fan and his companions. They hadn't expected to come across such an item so soon.
What incredible luck!
The auctioneer then presented the item.
It was spindle-shaped, with a dragon head at the front and a fish tail at the rear. It had four fins on either side, resembling fish fins. The entire thing was a milky white, as if carved from jade, and was about a foot long.
"This Soul Tool is an ancient artifact, requiring soul power to activate. It can accommodate twenty passengers, submerge underwater, and travel on the surface. Its maximum diving depth is three hundred meters, and it can withstand attacks from a century-old Soul Beast."
The auctioneer finished the introduction and immediately announced, "The starting bid is ten thousand Gold Soul Coins. The highest bidder wins!"
The room was silent; no one bid. After all, its ability to only submerge in shallow waters was quite useless.
"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins," Zhang Fan said directly.
No one else competed.
"Alright, Mr. 9527 bids ten thousand Gold Soul Coins. Does anyone want to raise the bid?… Going once, going twice, going three times, sold!"
The auctioneer was excited. After all, it was a profit to sell the item.
But Zhang Fan knew that with sufficient soul power, the Dragon Abyss Boat could dive deeper, even to the deep sea.
Zhang Fan and the others paid their fees and retrieved the Dragon Abyss Boat, then returned to their hotel.
After all, they had come here to relax a bit, stroll around, and enjoy the coastal scenery and local customs.
"The soul masters here are really special; most of them have water attributes!" Xiao Wu said, looking at the sea soul masters with curiosity.
"Yes, they live by the sea, so it's natural for them. But in the sea, their strength is also greatly enhanced. That's our disadvantage as soul masters who aren't water-attribute users!"
Zhang Fan smiled and then looked at Shui Binger and Shui Yueer, saying, "But Shui Binger, Shui Yueer, Bingdi, and Xuedi are different. They are all ice-attribute, so water can also enhance their strength!"
"Mhm!" The others nodded, feeling that with Zhang Fan around, nothing was a problem.
Zhang Fan was a super-strong man who could defeat a demigod.
With him, it felt like being in a safe harbor.
They all felt very safe.
Zhang Fan was also studying the Boundless Sea Universe Cover. One of its functions was to create a distorted space around it, causing objects or people within to vanish into thin air, making it impossible to detect their location. This was a very useful ability.
Zhang Fan and the beauties ate a lot of seafood and delicious food on the beach. Afterward, they set off, heading straight for the docks.
Qian Renxue looked at the unfamiliar environment,
and the unfamiliar people.
She was in a good mood.
A smile played on her face.
Zhu Zhuqing, also nourished by Zhang Fan, wasn't as aloof as before. She was also in a good mood, following Zhang Fan to admire the scenery here.
Zhang Fan, leading the beauties, naturally attracted quite a crowd.
After all, so many stunning women, each extraordinary, and Zhang Fan himself was unbelievably handsome.
The rate of people turning to look was, of course, ninety-nine point nine-nine percent.
"Aren't we using a Dragon Abyss Boat?" Qian Renxue asked, seeing Zhang Fan heading towards a massive ship.
The ship was fifty meters long, twenty meters wide, and its gray paint concealed thick iron armor.
"We don't know the way, of course we need someone to lead us!" Zhang Fan said, looking at Qian Renxue and the others. "That makes sense!" they nodded.
"Welcome aboard the Sea Demon."
A middle-aged man, appearing to be in his fifties, walked up and warmly waved to Zhang Fan and the others.
"Captain, Mr. Heidel."
Zhang Fan introduced them.
"Welcome, beautiful ladies and handsome young men! I wish you all a pleasant journey."
His gaze fell on the beautiful women, and his eyes lingered for a few seconds. This young man is too charming, isn't he?
He was even envious that the young man could go on a sea trip with so many beautiful women.
Heidel introduced his crew, a total of eight people, including the captain, a first mate, and six crew members.
The Sea Demon had three decks, two above deck and one below.
Zhang Fan and his group would be staying on the top two decks, while the crew would be on the bottom one.
"Shall we set off then?" Heidel asked, smiling at Zhang Fan.
"Alright!" Zhang Fan nodded.
"Weigh anchor! Set sail!" Heidel roared. The Sea Demon then unfurled its sails, heading out into the calm sea and plunging into the deep blue.
The ocean's scenery was magnificent, the sea surface shimmering.
They gazed out at the distance, mesmerized.
The wind picked up on the sea, and waves rolled in, one after another, "Shhh… splash…" The sound was quite pleasant to listen to.
However, the waves grew larger, and the boat began to rock.
But Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong were all Soul Saints at over level seventy, so they weren't bothered much by the rocking.
The day passed quickly.
Zhang Fan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance. He saw that the direction was correct; they were heading towards Sea God Island.
Heidel came before Zhang Fan, a smile on his face, and said respectfully, "Esteemed Soul Master, we should arrive at our destination in about eight days. We will be entering an area with active Soul Beasts soon, so we'll be relying on you then."
"Alright. If you encounter a powerful Soul Beast, how will you handle it?" Zhang Fan asked calmly.
"Soul Beasts rarely attack ships. Only if we encounter a bad-tempered one are we likely to be attacked, and then we can only consider ourselves unlucky. We apply a scent that Soul Beasts dislike on the ship, which reduces the chances of them attacking us."
Heidel then added proudly, "We all have a sea chart in our minds. As long as we avoid the territories of those powerful sea Soul Beasts, we'll be fine."
"Oh!" Zhang Fan nodded. This time, they were, of course, not just going to Sea God Island; they were also going to take down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Several days passed.
They finished breakfast.
Heidel walked over, a wicked smile on his face. "How was breakfast, everyone? How was the black caviar? Worth its weight in gold, isn't it, exquisite?"
"Exquisite!" Xiao Wu pretended to be poisoned, stumbling and unsteady on her feet. "Why do I feel a little dizzy?"
"Heh heh heh! You're supposed to be dizzy! Even if you're soul masters, what can you do? At sea, we rule. You beauties are absolutely gorgeous, we're going to enjoy ourselves, and your Soul Tools and everything else, we'll take good care of them. Cripple them!"
Heidel revealed his true colors, his face twisted in a cruel, evil grin.
"Uh... why aren't they collapsing? They're just unsteady?" The first mate frowned at Heidel.
"What's going on? We put in a lot of medicine!" Heidel was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the soul masters, confused.
