Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Summoning the Black Market Freighter
"Buzz!"
The sea ship successfully crossed the safe sea line, leaving the Safe Sea Region.
This moment signifies that the Ocean Court will no longer provide safety guarantees for the ship, no matter what kind of danger it encounters.
Even if someone attacks the ship and kills the crew, the Ocean Court has no obligation to investigate.
The true crime area!
"Hiss..."
"Right past the safe sea line, why do I feel a chill in the air..."
Ma shivered, muttering softly.
"Ma, don’t spook us with your nonsense!"
Luu Yuan glanced at Ma, speaking with annoyance.
"No... he’s right about his feeling..."
At that moment, a hint of seriousness flashed in Fang Yu’s eyes as he slightly perceived the surroundings, feeling a bit astonished internally.
The sea breeze indeed grew stronger, and the waves began rolling fiercely, as if something had completely broken free and started wreaking havoc.
A subtle undercurrent began crashing against the ship, each collision sensed by Fang Yu, who was spiritually connected to the ship.
Fortunately, the ship had been upgraded with [Thick Armor] before setting sail.
[Thick Armor lv.1]: Enhances the ship’s defense, ignores impacts below 26 Energy Level. (5X captain’s Energy Level)
Learning from past experiences with reefs, Fang Yu immediately upgraded the ship’s armor to enhance its defense.
No matter how the undercurrent started subtly bumping the ship now, it couldn’t inflict any damage.
"Leaving the Safe Sea Region, the sailing environment is surprisingly bad... it seems the legend may be true..."
Fang Yu pondered.
Someone on the forum once speculated.
That the world’s ocean is intrinsically turbulent, containing massive energy that constantly roils.
This immense energy fosters ocean spirits and extraordinary life forms.
It also causes crystals to occasionally form, gathering the treasures captains seek.
The more volatile the energy, the rarer the crystals.
Safe sea region exists due to treasures in the Ocean Court suppressing the ocean, providing space for survival.
Outside the treasure’s influence, the ocean resumes its original state.
Violent, tumultuous.
The crazed sea winds, rain, and waves create hellish scenes rarely seen on Blue Star.
Luckily, they are not far from the Safe Sea Region, so this area’s chaos poses little threat to the ship.
The undercurrent’s force below was sensed by Fang Yu, not surpassing 10 Energy Level, far from the armor’s breach threshold.
Looking at the turbulent water and gradually chilling sea wind, Fang Yu couldn’t help but smile slightly.
Separated from the Ocean Court’s jurisdiction, now it’s time...
"Black Market Cargo Ship Permit, activate!"
Fang Yu took the permit from the panel space and activated it instantly.
"Boom!"
The permit scroll quickly ignited with an eerie deep blue flame, releasing strange waves.
Next moment, mist began to envelop them, the sea surface rising with fog so thick you couldn’t see your hand in front of you.
"Ah!!"
The crew jumped up startled, warily scanning the surroundings, gripping their rifles tightly.
Like startled cats.
"Put down those weapons!"
Fang Yu was shocked.
Dang it, these lively folks.
Don’t attack the black market cargo ship...
Misunderstanding this could lead to being labeled an enemy by the black market cargo ship, which wouldn’t be good.
"Captain, what’s happening?"
Luu Yuan was the first to calm down, vigilantly watching the surroundings, but listened to Fang Yu and put the rifle down.
"Don’t panic, I summoned the mist; just watch quietly."
Everyone was stunned.
Next moment, a low atmospheric hum sounded from within the mist.
"Buzz!"
A sinister, dark cargo ship emerged without a sound, sailing parallel to Fang Yu’s ship.
The cargo ship appeared old and decrepit, as if it had been soaking in water for ages, seemingly about to fall apart.
Normal cargo ships make sounds when sailing.
But this ship was eerily silent, as if floating on water; even beneath the hull, the sea seemed obedient.
The group peered into the mist-covered depths, unable to see the cargo’s contents.
A tall man cloaked in black emerged from the mist, eyes precisely on Fang Yu, making a "please" gesture.
"Guest, please come aboard!"
Fang Yu nodded, then stepped onto the cargo ship amid the crew’s astonished gazes.
The mist engulfed Fang Yu, leaving Luu Yuan and crew wide-eyed in confusion.
"Is our captain always this sophisticated?"
A new recruit asked timidly.
Reacting to the recruit’s words, Luu Yuan and the others glanced at each other, then mischievously decided...
To indulge their dark humor.
"Yes, that’s our captain’s everyday life!"
They nodded seriously, as if it were obvious.
Five new recruits: ???
What the heck?!
...
"Please come inside, what does the guest plan to purchase?"
The man walked ahead, entirely cloaked in a black robe, showing only a grotesque face.
Fang Yu suspected the man was not human but an Alien Race, his aura unsettling Fang Yu.
Surreptitiously glancing around, Fang Yu saw strange, creepy items filling the cargo boxes.
There were iron cages with unknown creatures inside, resembling wolf-human hybrids, reeking of rotting wounds.
The cargo included human skulls, leg bones, eyeballs, favored by mysterious sorcerers.
And...
Hmm... Fang Yu glanced twice at this section.
Iron cages here were cleaner than others.
A fluffy clean blanket lined the cage floor, where exotic...
Alien female slaves lay haphazardly.
Eyes shut tight, their senses seemingly subdued by an extraordinary ability.
Each had a strong mixed-blood look, clad in scant clothes exposing enticing wild curves.
Some had snow-white skin, soft and tender; others showed healthy tanning, with artistic skin lines.
Fang Yu swore he had no ulterior motives—he was purely curious about the cost of a female slave.
Leaning in for a closer look.
...
Still unclear, peeking again...
Type: West Qinghai Sea Region Mafa Island Alien Female Slave (Half-fox bloodline)
Specifications: 172cm/E/62kg/Healthy
Price: 7000 Silver Coin.
Silver Coin... not Copper Coin!
Never mind.
Poverty keeps me honest.
Fang Yu withdrew his gaze.
He cleared his throat, directly asking, "Sir, does this ship sell Extraordinary Magic Stones? Attack type."
