The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

As a result, the fleet also came to a stop.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A flash of purple light appeared in the fog, followed by the dull thud of nails being driven into solid wood.

"Crash!"

The sound of paddling, which had disappeared as the fleet stopped, resumed, and then the young master jumped from the mist onto the deck.

Not only that, he was also tightly clutching several purple ropes in his hands.

Once aboard the boat, the young master took a deep breath, then used his waist and hips to pull the rope backward little by little.

The sound of water grew louder, and then the outlines of several ships came into view.

"What are you standing there for? Quickly... quickly connect all the boats... the fog here... there's something wrong..."

After doing all this, the demon king's armor on the young master instantly turned into countless points of light, revealing his exhausted face.

"My life is over... Now... it's up to you guys." After saying that, the young master slumped down on the deck.

"I understand, just relax and be a patient!" Seeing the young master's appearance, the soldier gave up his plan to mock him.

He looked at the swirling mist around him, feeling nothing, yet the ship was slowly moving backward.

Just as you said, there's something wrong with this fog.

Chapter 474 Dense Fog

2024-02-08

"The fog is pushing us backward." The skirmisher walked onto the deck and peered out at the sea below.

All that could be seen around the ship were tiny, silent ripples. The waves were already silent, and with the thick fog all around, most people probably wouldn't even notice the ship turning around.

"Everyone! Tie the boats together with ropes, stay close together, and don't fall behind!"

Upon realizing this, the skirmisher immediately looked around and shouted to the fools.

"Ha...haha, I'm still...I'm still pretty good, right?" Upon hearing the soldier's words, the young master, who was slumped on the ground, forced a smile.

"You have indeed done a great service this time." This time, the soldier did not refute the young master's words. If it weren't for the young master, it would probably be too late by the time he realized this.

"Alright, it's better for the injured to rest and recuperate." Seeing that the young master was smug and about to stand up, Yu Jin reached out and pressed him down again.

"I'm just weak, it's not an injury at all," the young master said, sitting back down on the ground and enduring the tearing sensation in his body.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but after activating his Demon King Armor and entering the fog, he felt a force constantly repelling him.

It was precisely because of this sense of repulsion that the young master was able to discover the secret within the fog first.

As they spoke, the calm sea suddenly became turbulent. Using the ropes that the young master had previously conjured with his own power, the fleet temporarily came together.

But that's not enough. The young master's power isn't permanent; the rope will dissipate in no time. So they need to take advantage of this time to quickly link all the ships together.

The Fools acted swiftly. Soon, each wooden boat had several thick iron chains attached to it, and each chain was connected to another boat.

"Is everything done?" the skirmisher asked the fools who came to report.

"Reporting to Lord Sanbing, everything has been done, not a single one missing!" The Fools nodded, responding with great certainty.

"Alright, prepare to set sail again." Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately ordered the fleet to move on.

"Set sail? The stars are gone, and the sea is shrouded in fog. How are we supposed to tell which way to go?" Yu Jin pointed to the hazy sky and reminded the skirmishers.

“That’s a problem.” The skirmisher stroked his chin and walked up to the railing.

Apart from the ships of the Fools, there was only rolling fog on both sides. Under these conditions, any method of determining direction would probably be of little use.

"But that won't stump me!"

The soldier clenched his fingers into a claw, and then an extremely bright purple lightning ball appeared in his hand.

After compressing all the nearby lightning elemental energy into his palm, the soldier swung his arm, and the purple lightning ball floated in mid-air.

"呲呲呲!"

A series of sharp thunderclaps came from the thunder sphere, and it was as if a small hole had been torn in the smooth sphere, from which countless leaping bolts of lightning burst forth.

At this moment, the lightning ball looks like a tadpole made of lightning. The sphere is the tadpole's head, and the leaking lightning is its tail.

"Head in this direction, let's go!" Seeing the purple lightning tadpole hovering steadily in the air, the skirmisher couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He just had a sudden inspiration to use this method to determine direction in the fog, and he didn't expect it to succeed so quickly.

"Hey, pretty clever," Yu Jin praised the skirmisher, seeing the shimmering ball of lightning above.

Even though the light from the lightning ball couldn't penetrate very far due to the dense fog, the depleted elemental energy in this space made everyone aware that this was a place they had been before.

The stragglers rolled their eyes at Ember but didn't reply.

"Wow!"

The sounds of paddling filled the air, and the boats began to rock again. The wooden boats were connected together, but none of them had ever experienced anything like this before.

The rowing frequency and force varied, resulting in different speeds for the wooden boats. Consequently, the boats immediately began to pull against each other.

"Can't you guys be a little more in sync? This is so shaky!" Standing on the swaying deck, Yu Jin experienced seasickness for the first time.

"stop!"

"Huh? They really stopped?" Ember was puzzled when he heard that the skirmishers had actually stopped the ship.

He was just making a rant, why did it actually stop?

"It's not because of you!" The skirmisher turned and glanced at Ember, then pointed ahead.

A huge shadow appeared before them in the thick fog ahead. Judging from its appearance, it should also be a ship.

"There are actually other people in this godforsaken place?" After resting for a while, the young master felt much better.

He went to the bow and shouted into the shadows, "Hey! We're the Winter's ship! Where are you from?!"

The prince did not say it was the Fools, because he was afraid of scaring them away.

However, the young master waited for a long time but did not hear any response, which made him somewhat puzzled.

"The people on the other side aren't responding to us. Do you think they figured out we're the Fools from somewhere?" The young master stepped down and helplessly spread his hands towards the stragglers.

"No need to shout anymore, they probably won't respond." The skirmisher shook his head, then shouted loudly, "All ship leaders, respond to me if you hear me!"

"Raymond!"

"To!"

"Andre!"

"To!"

……

"Solis!"

"To!"

After the last name was called, everyone responded to the soldier's roll call. However, the soldier's face showed no relief; instead, his expression of doubt deepened.

"What are you doing?" the young master asked as he approached after the soldiers finished their work.

"Roll call".

Why are roll calls being taken?

The soldier glanced sideways at the young master and said, "Didn't you notice that the ship opposite us is exactly the same size as ours?"

"Really?!" Upon hearing this, the young master finally took a good look at the ship's silhouette opposite him.

Then he was surprised to find that the shadow opposite them was exactly the same as the ship they were on, both in height and length and width.

"You just called on everyone, and they all responded. So what exactly is this new ship?!"

As the young master spoke, a chill ran down his spine; this was far too eerie. What exactly was Crane Pavilion?

He would rather risk his life fighting an enemy many times stronger than face such a bizarre scene.

"If only I had known." The skirmisher looked at the shadow opposite him with a solemn expression.

This scene reminded him of his previous experience searching for traces of the abyss underground.

He eventually secured the sixth seat based on his achievements, but the bizarre events etched in his mind were something the skirmisher never wanted to experience again.

Unexpectedly, this feeling returned to him in Inazuma.

"Why don't we just go and take a look?" Yu Jin suggested, seeing that Sanbing and Gongzi were chatting enthusiastically but without any results.

"No, it's best not to look at things like that, just walk around them." Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately shook his head. During his time underground, he had learned what it meant for "curiosity to kill the cat."

So when encountering such a strange event again, the first thing the soldiers thought of was how to get around it, rather than investigating it.

“But if we do that, we won’t be moving in a straight line anymore. Wouldn’t all those markings you made before be wasted?” Seeing the skirmishers trying to take a detour, Ember couldn’t help but remind them.

In situations where the direction is unknown, the worst thing to do is to take a crooked or erratic route.

Once the stragglers circled around like that, when they saw the marker again, they wouldn't know whether it was because they had circled around or because there was something wrong with the space itself.

Upon hearing Ember's words, the skirmisher paused. He suddenly realized—could this phantom be something the mist had specifically used to obstruct them?

"Damn fog! Damn islands!"

The stragglers were starting to understand why Thor was unwilling to explore this place.

Chapter 475 The Mysterious Island

2024-02-08

"Damn it! Damn it!" The stragglers cursed as soon as they realized that the ship had appeared on purpose to block them.

Now he was stuck, unable to move forward or backward, and could only resort to cursing.

I don't know if he was cursing the island or cursing himself for not daring to take a closer look.

"I told you you'd be stuck here without me." Seeing the soldier jumping up and down in anger, Yu Jin pulled him back and walked to the front of the ship himself.

"What's your plan?" The skirmisher's eyes lit up when he saw Yu Jin's confident demeanor.
