"Boom!"
The thunder grew more intense, and the ship began to shake violently.
He Shuo touched the back of his head, looking confused. "What’s going on? I just took a nap, and how did I wake up in the Thunderstorm Sea?"
Xu Qingyuan did not respond, only casting a cold, frosty gaze at the group of people in front of him.
It was truly a waste to pay them such high salaries every year; they couldn't get anything right.
The man who had just been red-eyed now looked at Xu Qingyuan and He Shuo's back with suspicion and said, "Bai Qi?"
The man's gaze was too obvious. Xu Qingyuan followed his line of sight to see the man behind him, tied up and trembling on the ground.
Xu Qingyuan tightened his lips and asked with slight skepticism, "Are you sure?"
The man grew bolder, taking two steps forward to approach the man on the ground. He reached out to brush aside some stray hair and excitedly said, "It's him! He is Bai Qi."
Soon, however, the man's mood fell again.
"How could he end up like this?"
Xu Qingyuan did not want to deal with this right now; he had more urgent and important matters to attend to.
Xu Qingyuan said to Yang Luo, "Can you manually operate and leave this sea area now?"
The man frowned, pondered for a moment, and replied, "Professor Xu, there has always been a strange magnetic field in this sea area, and very few people venture here. This is my first time entering this place, and I cannot guarantee everyone's safe withdrawal from this area."
His words were like cold water splashed into a hot pan, instantly stirring up discussions among the people around.
"Wait, Yang Luo, what's wrong with you? You brought everyone here and now tell us you can't take us back?"
"Are you out of your mind? You know this is a Restricted Maritime Zone, yet you sailed us here?"
"You don't usually act like this, Yang Luo. What's going on with you?"
From the renewed criticism of the crowd, Xu Qingyuan learned the man's name.
Xu Qingyuan's gaze fell on Yang Luo with a hint of scrutiny as he said, "Since you can't guarantee it, what do you mean by saying all this?"
Yang Luo looked miserable, even worse than crying, and said, "Just a few days ago, I was discussing this sea area with Bai Qi. He said it was a place he lived in during his childhood. Bai Qi is a Natans, but he was expelled from the tribe at a young age because his mother married someone from another tribe. I only found out about this two days ago."
"So what is the main point you're trying to make, comrade?"
He Shuo furrowed his brows in confusion; how was this related to their current situation of leaving the forbidden sea?
Yang Luo forced a smile and said, "He mentioned Nata Island; it has now become Demon Island."
Xu Qingyuan frowned slightly, a strong sense of foreboding rising in her heart.
This nation, Xu Qingyuan had heard of, but its transformation into Demon Island was likely related to the massacre of Nata Island ten years ago.
Xu Qingyuan remained composed and continued calmly, "Are you suggesting we go to that island?"
Yang Luo nodded stiffly and said, "It's almost impossible for us to leave this thunderstorm area now, but reaching the nearest Demon Island still offers a glimmer of hope."
Looking out at the thunderclouds, raindrops fell like iron nails, violently striking the hull of the ship, creating a deafening roar. Xu Qingyuan's cold brows were difficult to relax; they indeed could not stay here for long.
"Let's do as you say."
As she spoke, everyone had different expressions—some were terrified, others resigned—but no one said anything further.
Reaching Demon Island now was indeed their safest option; no living being could contend with the immense power of nature. They could only land on the island and wait for the rescue team to arrive.
He Shuo patted Yang Luo on the back and said, "Alright, brother, it's up to you now. Since Bai Qi has talked to you about demons... uh, I mean Nata Island, you should have a general idea of the direction. Let's push forward and get there as soon as possible."
Yang Luo nodded firmly, the blood-red hue in his eyes growing more intense.
