Liang Jian: I have a canteen

"Someone!"

Xu San vaguely heard footsteps at the entrance.

Huanji nodded slightly and hid in the shadows between the official roads.

Xu San can't hide inside.

Because he's gained weight, he now weighs about 130 pounds. In an era where the average person weighs less than 100 pounds and is as thin as a stick, his physique is considered slightly overweight.

With no other option, Xu San could only lean against the corner of the wall, hoping to find a blind spot to avoid the approaching person.

The footsteps grew clearer, and Raul's voice could be faintly heard, "Captain, the electrical system has clearly been deliberately sabotaged. Could it be those people?"

"Whether it is or not, the things must be moved. Once we retrieve them, you can immediately take the small boat to Yamatai."

Upon hearing the name Yamatai, the Ghost Princess in the shadows immediately turned her gaze toward Xu San.

Xu San blinked and shrugged slightly, indicating that he was innocent and that Yamatai was just an accident.

The footsteps drew closer, and then Xu San and Huan Ji simultaneously held their breath.

There were three people: Raul, Captain David, and a burly bald man.

The man was very tall, probably at least two meters. His muscular physique reminded Xu San of Dwayne Johnson, giving off an indescribable sense of oppression.

The three walked quickly past Xu San and Huan Ji without finding any trace of them.

Xu San let out a breath and winked at Huan Ji again.

Immediately, Huanji understood and slipped out from the gap in the pipe.

Xu San also moved his feet lightly out of the dead end and began to slowly move towards the exit.

Although electricity has been restored, lighting equipment in this era is only so-so, especially on cruise ships where electricity is already scarce. Naturally, high-wattage lighting equipment would not be provided in such an unimportant place.

The poor lighting didn't seem to pose much of a problem for Xu San and Huan Ji. The two moved quietly, without making a sound.

However, this silence is relative.

Just because a person can't hear it doesn't mean a dog can't.

Just as the two were halfway there, a dog suddenly rushed out from the entrance.

A black-backed dog, a German black-backed dog.

After spotting the two people, the black dog immediately rushed over and barked loudly.

In fact, the moment the black dog charged over, Huan Ji had already raised her hand and thrown a shuriken.

Unfortunately, the black dog was more agile than expected, shifting its body slightly to dodge.

Although the second shuriken hit the dog's throat accurately, he still barked.

The pitiful screams of "Woof woof~" echoed in the cabin corridor, immediately attracting the attention of the three people in front.

"Run!" Xu San shouted and took off running!
As a ninja, Huanji was obviously more experienced than Xu San. After throwing a smoke bomb, she followed Xu San and ran towards the exit.

Of the three ahead, Raul was the fastest, but instead of immediately giving chase, he took out a whistle, put it in his mouth, and blew it loudly.

A loud whistle rang out and quickly drifted out of the cabin, prompting the sailors guarding the door to block it.

He wanted to trap the two dogs that had sneaked into the cabin, and then use that same trap to beat them.

However, it's clear that neither Xu San nor Huan Ji are dogs.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are two tigers.

Xu San took the lead, swiftly drawing his sword and decapitating a sailor blocking his path. (End of Chapter)
