Chapter 620: Wandering Sea Ghosts
The boss strolled over, patting Xioahu on the shoulder before speaking with gravity, "Young man, you should be thankful to these people for rescuing you from the Pirate Gang. They value loyalty, they show responsibility, and they never abandon their comrades, which is why they are keeping their promise to bring you home. If they were willing to abandon their comrades, would you expect them to bring you home?"
Xioahu remained silent for a long while after hearing this. Then, he nodded with understanding, "I see, I should support you all. I feel glad to have met you all truly."
Grateful for Xioahu’s understanding, Gu Fan also appreciated the boss’s words, and it suddenly appeared to him that the boss had a good side after all. However, this moment alone would not change Gu Fan’s opinion about the boss, who remains a devil in his heart.
Lin Xi chimed in, "Alright. Now that we’ve decided to confront the mysterious ship in the fog head-on, we need to understand it better. I saw the Shennv Xuanhui sisterhood on that wooden ship too, suggesting that my powers might not work, and I may even be affected."
To this, the boss nodded, "Yeah, it’s very frightening. Even I was no match and got thoroughly defeated."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. If even the boss got beaten so badly, how are they supposed to take on this challenge?
The boss began to recall his previous encounters with the large wooden ship. With his fearlessness borne out of immortality, the boss had brazenly boarded the ship, only to be astounded at what he saw; he saw several people drawing the life force, the Qi, from the living. Leng Le’s Qi was among those absorbed, and Leng Le looked unwell. That’s why the boss presumed Leng Le was still alive because why else would they absorb Leng Le’s Qi for?
Everyone found logic in the boss’s explanation, but they were also worrisome. If they were summoned on the rescue mission too late, all the living Qi may have been drained from Leng Le and others. Thus, risking it all, only to find out they were one step behind, wouldn’t it be a wasted effort?
Gu Fan had considered this too. Nearly ten days had passed since their first encounter with the fog. Was there any hope left?
