Chapter 107 The third crew member, a new journey! “…Captain Shane?” Feiya opened her eyes and coughed up a few mouthfuls of sea water. Then she looked around and saw familiar faces. Xia En pretended not to know and asked in surprise: "Why were you thrown out of the sea?" "Ah I…" Fei Ya tried hard to recall the situation just now and murmured: "Did the Faceless Shadow save me?" He raised his head and looked at Xia En in front of him with a strange expression. From the appearance point of view, Xia En and Wumao Zhiying were obviously very different, but he somehow felt that there was some strange similarity between the two of them. Feiya had this feeling when he saw the Faceless Shadow for the first time. "How could it be such a coincidence that it happened to land on Captain Shane's Black Swan?"
“Moreover, he has stayed in this sea area even though he has not entered the Blood Moon Secret Realm?” “Is it just a coincidence?” “Could it be that…” Feiya's thoughts were ups and downs, and he vaguely guessed the truth, but he was a smart young man, so he just said something without leaving any trace. “Thank you, Captain Shane.” Xia En looked at Fei Ya and asked, "What are your plans next?" “I think the ships on Silver Moon Island seem to be looking for you?” At this time, many survivors were crawling back to their boats from the sea. Some small boats could not wait to escape from the sea area, and an uproar could also be heard on large pirate ships. Think about it carefully. For a dangerous expedition like this, most ships must only send their elite men to the sea. Now, they brought the truth about the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] back to the ship, which naturally aroused the excitement of other crew members. Amid the chaos, the most eye-catching Viper was cruising slowly, as if searching for some target. Hearing Xia En's question, Fei Ya was stunned for a moment and began to think about this serious issue. It is impossible to return to Silver Moon Island. Although Viper Quinn is dead, there are still a large number of vampires on the island who control all aspects of power on the entire island. If you return to the island, you will most likely be treated as a thorn in your side, a thorn in your side, and eventually end up being assassinated. Furthermore, after finally escaping from one prison, why bother entering another? So, there seems to be only one answer. But when the words came to her lips, Fei Ya felt inexplicably inferior, or in other words, it was a fear of happiness and freedom.
—Many people who grow up in dysfunctional families will have this kind of "fear." Everything in the past is wrapped around them like heavy shackles. Even if the person who imposed the shackles is no longer around, the shackles will not be easily released. At this moment, Xia En asked very bluntly. “In that case, I’ll just say it straight away.” “Would you like to stay on my ship and become the third crew member of the Black Swan?” Feiya hesitated for a moment and said, "I have to tell you, I am a vampire who does not drink blood. Sometimes I need to drink to relieve my thirst for blood." "I know." “I don’t have a very good personality, I’m a bit irritable, and I’ll beat people up if they make me unhappy.” "oh." “There are still many vampires in the Seven Seas Federation. They may want to hunt me down and cause you a lot of trouble.” “Is there such a good thing?” “My steam engine makes noise, and my research is expensive…” Xia En interrupted Fei Ya's words, looked into his eyes seriously, and said: "I don't care about those things. I only want to ask you one thing -" “Will you come with me?” Feiya was speechless, then nodded heavily: "Of course, my captain!" At this moment, Joey on the side exclaimed: "Captain, it's bad!" “The Viper, the Viper is coming towards us!” "Um?" Xia En immediately turned his head and looked behind him, his pupils shrinking involuntarily. On the sea not far away, I saw a huge ship with a small semi-steel structure, which was rapidly speeding up and rushing towards the direction of the Black Swan. Its momentum is extremely fierce, and it has no regard for the ships along its way. A "boom" sound! A smaller pirate ship was directly hit by the bow of the Viper. The entire ship broke directly from the waist and sank quickly into the sea. At the same time, the momentum of the [Viper] did not slow down at all, and it accelerated straight forward. “Are the people on that boat crazy?” Xia En frowned slightly, walked to the rudder of the ship without hesitation, and ordered in his heart. “Xiao Hei, move forward at full speed!” 【Yes, Master! 】
Xiao Hei, who had not received an order from Xia En for a long time, immediately responded with joy. The high whistle sounded on the sea, the sails were raised, and the steam core roared... The [Black Swan], which had been silent for nearly a month, was finally able to make a loud neigh and cut through the waves on the sea. “It seems like you’re having a hard time enduring it too…” Xia En chuckled lightly: "But I can finally leave this hellish place." However, it was obvious that the [Viper] at the rear did not intend to let him go so easily. “Captain of that ship, stop the ship now and leave Master Fei Ya behind!” “Otherwise, you will be an enemy of our Silver Moon Island!” The sound amplified by some kind of loudspeaker device came out from the Viper. “This is the final warning!” “If you don’t stop the ship, we will open fire!” Hearing this, Feiya's expression changed slightly, but when he turned to look at Xia En, he found that there was no fear on the captain's face, but a wanton smile. “So what if we are enemies of Silver Moon Island?” “Ah Pao, shoot the **** out of me!” Boom! The roar of artillery. A cannonball accurately landed on the sea next to the Viper, stirring up a high water column. But Xia En turned his head in surprise. Because, this shell was not fired from the [Black Swan]! Not far away, a pirate ship with thunder painted on its sails was approaching the Viper from the flank. It is the [Thunder Horn]! Not just it, the [Aquila], [Siren]...and other ships of all sizes surrounded the [Viper] with a siege. Although the captain of the Sky Eagle turned to the vampires, the pirates on the ship did not know it. They only thought that the Blood Moon Secret Realm had killed the captain and the elite on the ship, so they naturally wanted to avenge them. Obviously, the scam [Blood Moon Secret Realm] has aroused public outrage! The relatives and friends of the sailors who died in the secret realm must wash away this hatred with their blood! Seeing this scene, the current captain of the [Viper] was obviously panicked and shouted through the loudspeaker. “Federal hunting ship, why are you just watching?” “This is a challenge to the authority of the Federation!” But the hunting boats remained indifferent and just stayed on the outskirts of the sea area. They neither attacked the Viper nor blocked the pirates' actions.
The captain of [Viper] finally gave up, and then continued to speed up regardless, rushing towards [Black Swan]. Other ships opened fire on it, taking the opportunity to attack the huge steel ship. In an instant, artillery pieces roared and roared. The cannonballs screamed, and columns of water exploded on the sea. Although the Viper was the one being besieged, its size and firepower were there, and it still had the upper hand in the battle. In other words, it is the master of this sea area! The object of its focus is the seemingly petite and pitiful [Black Swan]. However, what surprised many captains was that this small ship actually showed amazing resilience under the attack of the Viper! The suddenly accelerated speed and erratic trajectory easily dodged the attacks of most cannonballs. Even if one or two cannonballs fall on the hull, it is like hitting an invisible barrier, and the power is greatly reduced. Even… [Black Swan] still has time to counterattack [Viper]! Those cannonballs were like angry ghosts, making a chilling whisper as they rushed out of the barrel, streaking through the air with dark streams of light, and hitting the Viper's hull heavily. Cause damage that cannot be ignored. After a dangerous and exciting chase, the [Black Swan] came to the sea where there were no other ships to block it. Immediately afterwards, with the triumphant sound of the whistle, it escaped from the pursuit of the Viper and sailed further to the sea. … … It didn’t take long. On a calm sea. Xia En looked at the Viper, whose shadow could no longer be seen, and smiled at the corner of his mouth. “Why do you still want to catch up with my [Black Swan]?” Compared to the pursuit of the [Yousui Descendants] in the Promotion Ritual, this chase did not have too much pressure. However, under the fierce bombardment, there were still some injuries on the [Black Swan]. For example, a cannonball hit a corner of the deck and made a medium-sized hole. ifier At this time, Fei Ya looked at the damage on the deck with a surprised look on his face, and a flash of disbelief flashed in his eyes. Visible to the naked eye, the wooden boards are growing and repairing themselves, returning to their original appearance.
“This ship… can actually repair itself?” Joy next to him said calmly: "Isn't this normal?" 绻亚：“…” He couldn't help but asked cautiously: "And, I remember, the captain was the only one driving the ship just now?" “Then who controls the steam turbine and the sail, and who fires the cannon?” Joy looked at him strangely and said in a matter-of-fact tone. “Of course it’s Mr. Captain! Otherwise, how could it be us?” Feiya's eyelids twitched slightly, feeling that this girl with white hair and red eyes seemed to be unusual, so she turned to look at the knight in armor beside her and asked. “Is this a normal thing on this ship?” Ann took out a pen and paper and wrote in correct handwriting. 【No need to be surprised, everything is business as usual on Black Swan. 】 绻亚：“…” He now has some doubts. Did he misunderstand the meaning of the word "normal"? “It seems like you guys are having a great time chatting. Come on, let me introduce you...” Xia En came over at the right time and introduced himself to each of them so that the three of them could get familiar with each other. By the way, he also checked Fei Ya’s panel. 【Crew: Fei Ya (unbound)】 【Race: Vampire (can be converted into Holy Vampire)】 【Secret Career: Priest (Level 2)】 【Talent: can be viewed after binding】 【Skill: Can be viewed after binding】 【Description: A handsome young man, a believer in the God of Steam, a vampire who has never drank blood, and has in-depth research on machinery, steam, and the human body. 】 【With his help, maybe the entire ship can be transformed into a steel battleship, right? 】 "Um?" Shaan noticed the "holy blood race" in the "race" and was a little surprised. Viper Quinn seems to have been emphasizing that Fei Ya’s bloodline is special. Could it be related to it? Or, can the fruit given by the [Crimson Ancient Tree] improve his bloodline? Xia En thought casually, but his thoughts were inexplicably divergent.
“Speaking of which, there are now succubi, sea tribes, sea monsters, elves, vampires, and ancient dragons on this ship..." “Hiss, a guide to the evaluation of alien crew members, right?” At this time, Joey asked curiously: "Mr. Captain, where are we going now?" This question reminded Xia En. For the captain, future planning is also very important. He thought in his mind: "First of all, we should go back to the Coral City, set up a [Submarine Anchor], and help the Queen quickly clear the palace dungeon." To be honest, when he was promoting the ritual, Xia En also thought about setting the [anchor point] under the secret sea. But not to mention the extremely urgent situation at the time, there was little time to think while submersing. On the other hand, the difficulty of the [Secret Sea] dungeon is currently too high for him. It's like going straight to fight the final BOSS when you just released the novice dungeon. Basically, you will end up being defeated instantly, and the benefits of submersion are not high. Xia En plans to wait until he reaches the third level and the fourth level, then look at the situation and decide whether to leave the [Anchor Point] in the secret sea. The problem now is. After leaving Coral City, which direction should we go? Is it [Rusty Wasteland]? Or [Siren Islands]? Or other large underwater ruins? (End of this chapter)
