Chapter 418: Volcano on the Sea Translator: Tim Editor: GlobeGlotter

Although the ship lacked an anchor, it remained near the island for a day and night. Why did it leave immediately after she annihilated the ghoul?

Ning Qingxue suddenly remembered something. A few days ago, when the ship passed her glacier, she thought she had heard rustling on board. Could the black shadow have caused that?

Thinking this, a sound suddenly came from the basement. Ning Qingxue stood up abruptly. She scanned her spirit sense downward, but found nothing.

At that moment, the ship was underway, and Ning Qingxue couldn’t find anything with her spirit sense. She lacked the courage to go down there again. She touched the necklace on her chest and felt slightly reassured. Although she couldn’t see the ghoul, she had her protective necklace.

Silver seemed unaware of anything below, still jumping around on the deck.

Ning Qingxue suddenly said, “I don’t care what you are, but if you dare to come up again, I’ll use this fireball on you. You can stay on the ship, but if you disturb me and Silver, I will make you disappear immediately.”

Although it was a threat, Ning Qingxue was scared while saying it.

As if whatever was inside feared Ning Qingxue’s words, no more sounds came from below.

Ning Qingxue breathed easily; it seemed her threat had worked. She threw all the desks and chairs into the sea and found a place to sit. The thing probably wasn’t afraid of her, but of her necklace.

Silver saw Ning Qingxue sit down and jumped beside her.

Suddenly, there was a rumble. Fire streaked across half the sky. Ning Qingxue stood up and walked to the bow of the ship, where Silver was. She noticed the sulfur island was in flames; lava burst into the air with dust and smoke, even splashing the ship.

The volcano had erupted. If she had hesitated, she would have been turned to dust on the island.

Looking at the eruption’s force, Ning Qingxue knew the island was gone, and so was the primitive tribe. Although she didn’t know them, Ning Qingxue still felt sad. Human life is so fragile against the power of nature. …..

At that moment, Ye Mo was on the fishing boat, having stopped where Eden first escaped. Besides the wind, there was nothing else; no signs of the incident.

Eden saw Ye Mo’s unhappy face and said, “I think those pirates are long gone.”

Ye Mo sneered but said nothing. At that moment, there was a huge explosion in the distance, followed by a burst of lava into the air.

“Oh my god, it’s a volcanic eruption. This is amazingly grand, yet terrifying!” Eden exclaimed.

Was it some active volcanic island? This was Ye Mo’s first volcanic eruption. He felt uneasy. “Eden, drive the boat toward the volcanic eruption.”

Eden was dazed. The eruption had just begun. If they drove the ship over and got caught in it, how could they survive?

Seeing Eden hesitate, Ye Mo’s expression darkened. “Eden, do you think you can get Daphne with balls like that?”

Eden blushed and immediately said, “I’m not being timid, this is being reasonable. If we pilot the boat over, we might get caught in the volcanic eruption. You’re wrong if you think there’s only one place where lava erupts. There are other active spots under the ocean. If we get closer, one of them might erupt right under us.”

Ye Mo said plainly, “You talk so much, but all I’m really getting is that you’re afraid to die. If you fear death, then let me pilot.”

Ye Mo didn’t kick him off the boat this time. After all, he couldn’t have said that on a whim.

Eden didn’t reply and simply piloted the ship toward the volcanic island. He drove very fast, as if trying to prove he wasn’t afraid of death.

Ye Mo smiled. However, neither Ye Mo nor Ning Qingxue could have expected their ships would nearly collide; one leaving the island, the other approaching it.

The fishing boat soon entered the island’s range; there was lava everywhere.

Even at that distance, one could feel the scorching heat.

Ye Mo looked at the endless lava and said helplessly, “Let’s go.” He knew that even if there had been any evidence on the island, it was gone now.

Eden wanted Ye Mo to say that. As soon as Ye Mo said it, he piloted the ship away.

Ye Mo was growing impatient after days of searching for Ning Qingxue. After two days with Ye Mo, Eden also knew Ye Mo had come to find his wife. He felt they were both in the same predicament.

Ye Mo knew he was being impetuous, and he sat on the deck in silence, using cultivation to calm himself.

Eden saw this and shut his mouth, focusing on controlling the ship and using the radar.

Six hours later, a bright moon appeared in the sky. The night sea was quiet and calm, unlike the day. Eden thought how lucky they were to have avoided storms; otherwise, their boat could have easily sunk.

Ye Mo finished a large meridian cycle and felt calm. At that moment, he heard Eden scream.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Mo immediately went to Eden.

Eden didn’t even notice how Ye Mo arrived; he just pointed at the radar screen excitedly, “I found two targets, 50 nautical miles away.”

Ye Mo stood up and said, “Then what are you waiting for? Let’s approach them.” …..

Ning Qingxue didn’t know how to control a boat; furthermore, even if she did, she wouldn’t know which direction to go. She could only hoist the sails as high as possible and let the ship drift.

In less than half a day, Ning Qingxue encountered another ship.

If not for Silver, she wouldn’t have known another ship was approaching. Because Ning Qingxue needed to cultivate, she told Silver to guard her. She stopped because of Silver’s alarmed chirps.

Ning Qingxue looked in the direction Silver indicated; there was indeed a ship. It was still blurry, but under the moonlight, she confirmed it was a ship, and it was heading toward her.

Was she saved? Her first thought was that she could finally see Ye Mo. As long as a ship took her to land, no matter which country, she could get back.

When the ship drew closer, Ning Qingxue saw its flag. Her face immediately went pale. Her new hope vanished, replaced by horror.

The ship was identical to hers, with the upside-down skull. The owner was probably from the same group. Now that they had caught up, what could she do?

The ship was clearly heading toward her.

Ning Qingxue grabbed her gun; she could see the people on board. There were at least tens of them.

Ning Qingxue wouldn’t naively assume a proper ship would have such a flag. This was clearly a pirate ship.

Ning Qingxue wanted to lower her sails and change course, but she didn’t know how to pilot the ship.
