Chapter 161 Boarding the Sea Demon_1

"So where do we go now?"

"Can we set sail?"

Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

Having grown up so big, she had never been to the seashore before, and yearned for the sea even more.

"Indeed, we need to set sail, we're going to find a ship that can carry us to Sea God's Island right now,"

Qin Xiao finished speaking and led everyone toward the direction of the harbor.

Of course,

the journey attracted quite a few onlookers, and Qin Xiao didn't know how many envious and resentful glares he garnered.

"Luxury cruise, a three-day sea tour, just for five golden soul coins."

"Ten golden soul coins and you will experience what it means to live a life of drunken dreams on my big ship."

"Brother, planning to sail out? I provide the ship, you provide the coin, let's embark on an impromptu trip."

"..."

The moment Qin Xiao and company arrived at the harbor, they could hear many captains advertising their large ships.

"We'd like to charter a ship; who among you can go out to sea?"

At that moment, Ning Rongrong inquired.

She emphasized the word 'charter,' intending to inform the surrounding captains that apart from their group of five, they didn't want any outsiders to disturb them.

As she spoke, indeed, many were put off.

Of course,

there were still plenty of interested people.

"May I ask where you wish to go?"

"Let's just say, there's no place upon the high seas that I can't reach!"

A black-bearded captain said with confidence.

Ning Rongrong said, "We want to go to Sea God's Island."

"Uh, Sea God's Island, better forget about it..."

The black-bearded captain instantly lost his nerve.

It wasn't just him, as even the people around them subconsciously backed away.

What place was Sea God's Island?

Was it a destination ordinary ships could reach?

Even a single ten-thousand-year-old sea soul beast would be enough to claim their lives.

"Hey, don't go... Don't leave,"

"The price is negotiable, come on."

Ning Rongrong grew anxious. Just now these people were claiming there was no place they couldn't reach.

And now why were they running faster than rabbits?

"Respected sirs and ladies, might I inquire if you're intending to proceed to Sea God's Island?"

Just then, a middle-aged man who appeared to be over fifty came up to them, greeting everyone graciously.

Qin Xiao glanced over and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this man.

"Correct, are you also a captain?"

Ning Rongrong nodded her head.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Heider, captain of the Sea Demon. I've navigated the seas for many years and have extensive sailing experience. I can take you to Sea God's Island,"

the middle-aged captain Heider said humbly.

Well, Heider...

Hearing this, Qin Xiao frowned slightly.

He thought it sounded familiar. Wasn't this one of the renowned members of the Black Pearl Pirate Group?

In the original story, Tang San and his friends had taken this very ship to the sea.

Interesting, I would like to see what the legendary Purple Pearl looks like... He mumbled to himself and then told Heider, "Alright, you it is."

"It is certainly possible,"

Heider nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said in a lower voice, "However, before we embark on this voyage, I must make one thing clear. A round trip to Sea God's Island will take at least a month, with the deep sea regions being far more dangerous than the shallow ones. Since you're chartering the whole ship, the cost might be quite expensive."

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong casually took out a black pouch from her Spatial Soul Guidance Device and tossed it over, "Here are five hundred golden soul coins, all for you."

"How much!?"

"Five hundred golden soul coins?"

Heider's pupils shrank, somewhat disbelieving.

What a big fat sheep that was, throwing out five hundred golden soul coins just like that.

Even if he robbed for a year, he couldn't get his hands on that much money.

"What do you say? Can we set out?" Ning Rongrong asked with a frown.

Heider nodded, "It's not impossible, but I must say this frankly: don't think that with these five hundred golden soul coins you can do whatever you want. This sum at most gets you three round trips."

'Pfft.'

After hearing Heider's words, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Who needed three round trips?

Just taking them directly to Sea God's Island was enough.

"When can we depart?"

Qin Xiao spoke up.

"Respected sirs and ladies, please follow me. Our crew has been awaiting everyone on the Sea Demon,"

Heider said, gesturing for them to follow and then led the way.

Under Heider's guidance, the group quickly boarded the Sea Demon.

Along the way, Heider didn't forget to inform Qin Xiao and his companions about the Sea Demon.

The group learned that the Sea Demon had a total of three decks. The main deck was on the top, and there were two decks above and one below.

The lower deck was the living space for the crew, while the upper two decks were for Qin Xiao, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the rest to move around.

"Raise the anchor, set the course,"

Heider instructed the crew, and the Sea Demon began to move gradually.

"Respected sirs and ladies, the sea breeze is strong. Why not rest in the dining room for a while? We will soon offer you a fine lunch,"

Heider said with a graceful and polite smile.

Qin Xiao looked at the faces of those around him and noticed they didn't look so well; some were pale, as if they had lost their color.

No one said they felt uncomfortable, but Qin Xiao could tell they were all less than comfortable.

Looks like it's their first time at sea, and they're getting seasick... Qin Xiao suddenly realized.

The ship sailing on the ocean is greatly different from those on rivers and lakes.

Because the wind and waves are stronger at sea, the ship is less stable, and those who normally aren't seasick might still feel ill.
