The flames on the enemy ship grew larger and larger, gradually turning the sea into a blazing red. The people on board could not withstand the heat and had no choice but to jump overboard to escape.
Fortunately, the island was close to the reef, so apart from those who were bombed or drowned, a considerable number of people managed to climb ashore alive.
There is no one living here, and apart from the firelight that illuminates half the sky, there is no light at all; the entire island is pitch black.
On a small lifeboat, pushed and pulled by a group of people, a man in his fifties dressed in a Japanese kimono stumbled ashore. After surveying the entire island, he angrily ordered, "Rest here first, and do everything you can to salvage usable supplies!"
"Yes, Lord Ōtani Sōji!"
The uneven responses revealed exhaustion and weakness, showing that not everyone still had the energy after escaping death and swimming such a long distance.
Otani Sōji was very dissatisfied with this. His narrow, squinting eyes flashed with a cold light as he slapped the person next to him twice.
"Baka! You're like a stray dog! If you're so useless, you should go back to your hometown! My men don't need people like you!"
"Yes!" Under his pressure, his men dared not utter a word and did their best to go into the sea to salvage the supplies.
Others quickly set up tents and gathered firewood to start a fire. Once they had set up a temporary encampment in a decent manner, they helped Otani Sōji sit down.
But his expression remained grim as he stared intently at the items being salvaged bit by bit. Only when four or five people slowly floated up from the sea carrying a large box did his expression soften slightly.
After getting up and carefully inspecting the area to make sure there were no signs of damage, he lowered his eyes as if in a trance. After a long while, he suddenly turned around and looked at the center of the island behind him, where it was so dark that nothing could be seen. A faint green light flashed in his pupils, and after staring for a moment, his eyes narrowed dangerously.
He suddenly stood up and shouted, "Quickly prepare for battle and proceed to the island immediately!"

On the other side, after successfully escaping the predicament, the engine emitted a deep, continuous roar, flashing by in the firelight of the explosion. Hu Kan steered the boat like a fish breaking free of its restraints, plunging headlong into the deeper darkness.
But they didn't just leave. After confirming it was safe, they stopped, hid the boat, and went ashore.
Even through the layers of reefs and trees, they could still see the raging fire on the other side, which was almost turning half the sky red.
After chugging down the entire kettle of water in one go, Ge Shaoting deeply felt that people only truly feel alive when they are grounded.
"The most thrilling boat ride I've ever taken in my life was the one with Hu Kan. If this continues, I might really have another terrifying mode of transportation in the future."
His internal organs felt like they were about to fall out.
Upon hearing this, Hu Kan looked up, his eyes darting around, and said, "Before meeting you, I never knew I could steer a boat like this."
After arriving on the island, Chu Xin looked around and determined the route before leading them on foot. Hearing Hu Kan's somewhat humorous words, she jokingly replied, "I would think you're praising me."
Unexpectedly, Hu Kan nodded emphatically, his eyes showing seriousness, "I'm praising you. You are more capable than any of the great navigators I know who are proficient in meteorology and navigation."
Zero errors, super precision, no deviation—it's practically godlike.
"Sigh, just lucky." Chu Xin was embarrassed, chuckled and made up a casual remark before turning her head and walking straight ahead.
Dude, that's a huge exaggeration. She's just got some kind of cheat code; how can she be compared to a truly talented navigator?
