Douluo Continent: Changing just one word ruined the entire character's persona.

Chapter 285 Going to Sea

"The starting price is 10,000 gold soul coins. Distinguished guests, you may now place your bids." The auctioneer announced the price.

Ten thousand gold soul coins is a considerable sum, but it is still far from enough compared to the value of this Dragon Abyss Ship.

The Dragon Abyss Boat can dive to a depth of 300 meters, which shows the quality of its materials. It is definitely a rare soul tool.

However, after the auctioneer announced the reserve price, no one bid, and the scene suddenly became deserted.

No one made a bid, not because the Dragon Abyss Boat was bad, but because its function was rather useless.

In shallow waters, ordinary boats can pass through easily.

A decent pleasure boat only costs 100 gold soul coins. This Dragon Abyss Boat, with its only added benefit of diving, costs a hundred times more.

Even nobles wouldn't be so extravagant as to buy it.

A hint of disappointment flashed in the host's eyes. In fact, this wasn't the first time this Dragon Abyss boat had been auctioned.

It has failed to sell at auction several times, and each time it is sold, it is met with this desolate scene.

"Ten thousand gold soul coins."

A clear voice came from the back row. It immediately drew everyone's attention, but unfortunately, the auction hall was pitch black.

All they could see was the raised, glowing auction paddle.

The auctioneer's eyes lit up.

"Alright, Mr. Number 366 bids 10,000 Gold Soul Coins. Any further bids?"

"Ten thousand gold soul coins, first time, second time, third time, sold."

His voice betrayed barely concealed excitement and eagerness, as if he feared the bidder might back out, and he quickly completed the transaction.

The auction continued, with item after item being presented in an orderly fashion. The one who had previously won the Dragon Abyss Boat was none other than Tang San.

The Longyuan boat is a useless piece of junk.

But Tang San felt it was just right.

Because she possesses the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, she had already figured out its functions long ago.

It can generate an invisibility shield, and if combined with the Dragon Abyss Ship, it would be virtually invincible.

She really had to thank the deceased Prince Xuexing for giving her this treasure.

The next morning,

The Shrek Seven Devils, along with Tang San, practically traversed the entire city.

Exit the city from the west gate of Hanhai City.

Following the wide road specially carved out of the reef outside the city, we descended the reef and headed straight for the dock.

The docks here are enormous, with at least twenty piers, each hundreds of meters long, extending into the sea and housing hundreds of ships.

This place can be considered both the starting point and the end point of maritime trade.

It is also a huge source of revenue for the entire Hanhai City.

Although the sea is teeming with powerful spirit beasts, it also holds boundless wealth. Living off the sea has long been an unchanging truth in Hanhai City.

Even though people lose their lives to sea monsters every year, this situation remains unchanged.

Located near the sea, the land is mostly saline-alkali soil, which is not suitable for growing crops at all. Only the various marine creatures can bring benefits to Hanhai City.

It is precisely because of the sea that the people here are able to exchange for various resources.

Soon, Ye Lin led everyone to the ship they had rented that day.

This is a brand new ocean-going vessel, and it looks quite promising.

The entire hull was painted iron-colored.

Only the deck was decorated with red and white paint.

It is said that painting the ship's hull iron-colored can minimize the chances of attacks from spirit beasts.

The ship is fifty meters long and over twenty meters wide, which, while not large for a seagoing vessel, is still quite substantial. Upon closer inspection, one can see that beneath the iron-gray paint on the hull is a thick layer of iron armor protecting the ship.

Although chartering this boat cost a lot of money, it was worth it as long as we could reach Poseidon Island safely.

As for their return, they will have to rely on their own abilities.

"Welcome to the Sea Demon."

As soon as everyone boarded the large ship along the deck, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties came up to them, laughing heartily and making a welcoming gesture.

Captain Haider smiled very politely.

"Welcome, beautiful ladies, and of course, handsome gentlemen. It looks like this trip is going to be very enjoyable. It's a pleasure to serve you."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the crowd, but when it passed over the four stunning women, it did not linger for long.

Ye Lin remembered that the original plot was that the captain's men were still up to no good, which led to the trouble in the end.

Through Haider's introduction, everyone learned that the Sea Demon had a total of eight crew members.

Besides him as captain, there was a first mate and six crew members.

The Sea Demon has three decks. Two decks are on the upper deck, and one deck is below.

As the ones paying, Tang San and his companions naturally lived on the two-story deck.

The crew lived down below.

The top floor offers a unique and panoramic view.

There are six rooms on the first floor of the deck, which is more than enough for eight people.

The rich scent of the sea assaulted their sense of smell from the moment they boarded the ship.

The sea breeze howled, bringing a chill to the late autumn season. Fortunately, none of them were ordinary people; their bodies were extremely resilient, so this bit of cold wind was nothing to them.

"Put anchor and set off."

With everyone present, Captain Haider gave the order, and the Sea Demon officially set sail.

The weather was fine today, the sea was calm, and the Sea Demon was quite large. After weighing anchor, with the help of the sailors, it easily left the port and headed straight out to sea.

Once the Sea Demon had completely sailed out to sea and was out of the harbor's reach, Captain Haider gave the order to raise the mainsail, adjust the course, and accelerate toward their destination.

The scenery of the sea is irreplaceable by any other sight; without ever having been to the sea, one can never truly experience its grandeur and magnificence.

The sea stretched as far as the eye could see, where the water met the sky in the distance. At this moment, the sun had already risen slowly from the east, illuminating the shimmering surface of the sea.

Without exception, everyone stood on the second deck of the Sea Demon, gazing at the captivating view of the sea.

The sea breeze, though a bit chilly, seemed to open everyone's hearts, bringing an indescribable sense of exhilaration and excitement.

Lunch naturally featured seafood: a few simple fish boiled in water and served with some vegetables purchased from Hanhai City.

Although there was nothing particularly special about it, everyone still enjoyed the meal.

In particular, Captain Haider specially added several huge crabs for them.

This kind of freshness, which is rarely found inland, is incredibly satisfying to eat.

but,

After lunch,

Only Ye Lin, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai can maintain this mindset.

Because of the remaining few people,

seasick!
