Demon King: Hero, don't run away!-Chapter 1160 - 1161: Setting Sail

The next day, Yang Yu got up early and also woke up the rest of the Island Drifting team, preparing to head to the Tren Republic.

When he reached the hall, Yang Yu noticed a new summons posted on the adventurer guild's bulletin board.

The initiator was again the Dragon God's Might, and the task remained the subjugation of the Evil Dragon. However, this time the requirements for participants were raised to quasi-S-Class and above, with personal strength needing to be S-Class and above.

The summons detailed the dangers of this mission and the process of the previous failed subjugation. It also explained that the Evil Dragon had been transformed from the Goblin Emperor and warned of the irreparable consequences if it continued to be unchecked.

Informing others about these situations beforehand, not only for self-assessment of their strength but also to prevent the fragmentation of the expeditionary team to the greatest extent.

Quasi-S-Class adventurers were not enough to handle the Evil Dragon and her offspring. The main target of the Dragon God's Might was still the S-Class adventure groups and their retired veterans.

Adventure groups like Yang Yu's, which had only been established for a few years, were the minority.

Most S-Class adventure groups have a rich heritage and different retirement mechanisms. Retired S-Class group members often give more opportunities to younger adventurers.

By stating the facts, retired former members of the S-Class adventure team can also get wind of it early from the current members.

Perhaps the current members of those S-Class adventure groups might even assist Dragon God's Might in persuading those retired to return to the world stage together.

The downside of publishing detailed information is probably just the fear it might cause panic.

But compared to the benefits of publishing detailed information, the disadvantages are negligible.

After all, even if Dragon God's Might doesn't say it, those who've heard their conversation with the Goblin Emperor couldn't help but leak this matter.

Bai Jin's Crystal Ball has already registered Corola's Characteristic Magic Power and set up magic that can locate each other.

If there is an issue and they are close, Dragon God's Might would actively contact, even if no one says anything.

To avoid disturbing Dragon God's Might's rest, Yang Yu planned to leave a note before leaving.

But when Yang Yu handed the written note to the front desk lady, he learned that Dragon God's Might had risen earlier and left this place before them.

Reluctantly taking back the note, Yang Yu and his companions set sail in the dawn.

Yang Yu's team and the Island Drifting team made up exactly nine people and one Slime.

The fast ship provided by Island Drifting could carry more than fifty people at once, more than enough for Yang Yu and his team.

In fact, one ship was enough, but Yang Yu prepared an extra in case of emergencies.

Dragon God's Might truly lived up to its name.

The ship provided by the Dragon God's Might employed a lot of cutting-edge technology, including features like automatic navigation, autopilot, and the activation of a magic barrier in stormy weather. Even if those on board didn't know how to sail, as long as they continuously supplied magic power, they could reach their destination.

Not everyone in Yang Yu's team was unskilled at sailing.

As the oldest former adventurer on site, Luo Luosi often took others "touring" the Ocean Duchy.

To handle various situations and earn more money, she spent a lot of time studying many things, even getting her captain's certificate and other credentials.

For safety, Yang Yu had the certified Luo Luosi pilot the ship while the other functions of the ship served as auxiliaries.

Sipping a drink with a straw and holding a helm disproportionate to her body, Luo Luosi said to Yang Yu, who was waiting nearby:

"Initially, we didn't agree to go to the Tren Republic... or deal with that sect you talked about."

"If you don't want to delve inland and get entangled with those troublesome sects, you can choose to wait for us in a city along the coastline," Yang Yu said.

"Don't pretend to be clueless, kid. You know what I'm implying?" Luo Luosi turned back, making a money gesture with her right hand's thumb and index finger to Yang Yu.

Yang Yu shrugged, "Funds might be tight due to preparations.

...Can you lend for now?"

"Don't give me that. You have the means; you're just being reluctant. I ask again, will you pay or not?"

Yang Yu answered decisively, "Of course, I'll pay."

Slowly putting her hand back on the helm, Luo Luosi looked ahead at the sea, smiling, "Then there's no problem. Coincidentally, I wanted to see that girl Hualan.

Also, it's clear that what you're doing this time is incredibly dangerous.

You still have to deal with that guy at sea, and it's also a chance to rake in a lot.

If you just die like that, I'd find it very unfortunate."

At the mention of Hualan, Lang Yi perked up instantly, babbling nonstop to Luo Luosi: "While I respect my sister's choices, I still hope she could return and join Island Drifting," "Aunt Luo Luosi, can you help me? Hualan listened to you a lot when she was young," and "You're the one who introduced her, so you should be responsible."

Luo Luosi glared at Lang Yi and told him firmly she had long anticipated this outcome. Since Hualan made this choice, not letting go was entirely Lang Yi's fault.

Luo Luosi's words pierced Lang Yi's chest like a dagger.

She also advised Lang Yi: "Instead of brooding over such matters, think carefully about how to deal with the other sea-dwelling species you'll encounter.

For some races, opening up without saying anything is the most time-saving approach.

Additionally, be wary of pirates, especially when nearing the coast.

Pirates won't miss any chance to outnumber the weak.

Their ships typically carry massive cannons, so be extremely cautious.

If the ship sinks, it's quite troublesome."

"At that time, why not just seize all their pirate ships?" Lingshan optimistically said.

Luo Luosi sighed, "Who knows what their pirate ships are like, or if they operate differently from regular vessels...

We're racing against time, and you don't want me to spend too much time familiarizing myself with the ships, right?

Moreover, using pirate ships when docking may lead to misunderstandings and being mistaken for pirates.

Fortunately, the pirates near the Tren Republic act unpredictably.

Especially now in the winter season, when temperatures can drop to extreme cold.

They're less inclined to sail.

They might only set out once a month, provided they have a clear target.

As long as there's no trouble on board, we're unlikely to run into them."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.

Only Yang Yu quietly walked to the edge of the deck, casting his fishing rod into the sea.

Speeding towards the Tren Republic, the ship quickly crossed the equator, with the sun overhead gradually drifting away from the center of the sky.

The intense sunlight didn't change immediately; it waited until Yang Yu and his team reached a higher latitude, and the sky began to fill with clouds before the temperature suddenly dropped.
