Chapter 32: Rare Beast Island
The Yellow Springs sailed forward under the helm of shipwright Tom, with Redfield and Silva adjusting the sails as they entered the cloud waterfall. Inside the observation room, Shakky closely monitored their surroundings, her keen eyes scanning the dense white mist ahead.
Brook stood at the bow, fully alert. As they pushed deeper into the cloud waterfall, their vision became completely obscured by thick mist. With no way of knowing what lay ahead, they could only press forward blindly.
A sense of tension filled the air. The unknown stretched before them—was this what adventure truly felt like? Placing their lives on the line, embracing the thrill of the unknown?
After five or six minutes of navigating in darkness, sunlight finally broke through the clouds. Before them lay a lush green island.
"There's an island hidden within the cloud waterfall? Incredible! I wonder if there are any people living here?" Shakky's curiosity was piqued, her excitement barely contained. The rest of the crew, equally intrigued, were eager to uncover the mysteries of this strange land.
The sight of the island stirred something in Brook's memory. It reminded him of a movie he had once seen—a place protected by the mythical Qilin Lion.
"This island looks familiar... It's a Rare Beast Island. There's a beast king here—the Qilin Lion. Be careful, everyone. I have no idea how strong it is!" Brook warned his crewmates.
A Qilin Lion... it certainly sounded impressive. Could it be tamed as a mount?
"A Qilin Lion? Is it a Mythical Zoan? Either way, it must be an extremely rare creature! Brook, let's go check it out!" Shakky said excitedly.
Meanwhile, Memory Seahorse's eyes gleamed with ambition. A beast king? If it could consume the Qilin Lion's memories, could it evolve? Maybe even grow wings and transform into a Millennial Dragon?
"Hmph~ I'd like to see for myself if this so-called Qilin Lion is really as strong as Brook claims!" Redfield declared, a confident smirk playing on his lips. He had grown far stronger lately. A mere beast king? He hardly saw it as a challenge and was more than ready to put its strength to the test.
