Chapter 571: Capture

Four hundred li north of Chongmei Mountain, three small hills, each more than twenty meters high, protruded from the water's surface. Covered with crisp plants, they resembled a cloverleaf from above.

In the center of the lake amongst the hills floated a Wave Stabilizing Boat, steadily bobbing on the surface. Its shape resembled a halved water droplet, pointed at the front and round at the back.

The body of the boat hovered a palm's height above the water, only its rear end, with three shark-fin-like vertical fins, dipped beneath the surface. They held the boat aloft like sturdy braces embedded in rock, keeping it separated from the water's embrace.

With a thunderous rumbling,

a bubble two to three meters in diameter surfaced from beneath the water.

In the next instant, the bubble burst through the surface with a pop, and Chai Song, clad in gray short clothes, sprung out, leaping onto the Wave Stabilizing Boat.
