Chapter 212 Setting Sail! Breaking Through the Encirclement!!_2
"Number Two, you..." Chen Qi was startled as Number Two's elbow was completely dislocated outward after being injured.
"Alright!"
Chen Qi no longer hesitated and commanded the steersman version of Water Elf No.3 in the captain's cabin:
"Set sail!"
With a deep and powerful roar, the heart of the steamship – the huge steam engine – began to bellow as if a sleeping behemoth had been awakened, unleashing a massive amount of energy.
The ship sailed away towards the horizon.
The silhouette of Black Mine City's harbor gradually became hazy, replaced by the boundless sea and the calling of seagulls.
"Fen, if there is any special situation, please notify me immediately."
Chen Qi looked towards the distant ocean.
The deep-sea Water Elf No.3 was the only water elf who had learned to pilot a ship, but it could only do some simple maneuvers; many times, he would have to take the helm personally.
"As you command, Captain Sir!"
Fen doffed his cloak and stood at attention.
The deep-sea Water Elf Number Two, holding a fresh flower:
"Vaku vaku (Don't worry! Captain!!)"
The Flower Witch was quite adept at role-playing and slipped into the sailor role in an instant... Chen Qi touched his forehead:
"Then, everyone, we have set sail! Please make sure to be safe!"
Chen Qi went into the captain's cabin, placed the well-behaved Water Elf No.3 on his shoulder, and began to focus entirely on piloting the ship.
Number Three learned by himself and had now become his valuable little assistant in sailing.
Five hours flew by in an instant, and the sunlight of the day was covered by huge clouds, the calm sea water began to churn and grew dimmer.
Thick fog began to envelop the ship like a giant beast.
"Fog?"
Chen Qi couldn't help but shiver as the ship entered the waters of Red Maple Island, and the temperature plummeted suddenly.
Bang! Bang!
Loud collisions sounded from the ship.
Chen Qi peered through the glass window, looking outside.
What the ship had collided with were not rocks, but wrecks, still emanating a heavy scent of blood and the residue of flames.
Chen Qi didn't hesitate and immediately turned on the ship lights while adjusting the ship's course.
"An, shouldn't we slow down the ship's speed? I see wreckage everywhere nearby."
Fen's shout came from the deck above.
"No..."
"No! Fen, we have to speed up! It seems our luck is a bit bad!"
Chen Qi couldn't help but grip the helm tightly.
The damaged hull flooded in, mixing with the blood inside the cabin, slowly staining their ship.
And as the ship moved forward, a flag of the Blood Blade Pirate Group, one eroded by seawater and flame, slowly drifted by their side.
Whoosh——
Whoosh——
Whoosh——
Chen Qi held his breath and concentrated, quietly sensing the breath of the sea, the dangerous atmosphere pervading this ocean, and the murderous intent hidden in the fog.
Whoosh!
A loud cry of a warship sounded from the dense fog in the distance, echoing across the sea like the howl of a monster!!
"Number Three, activate the overload mode!"
Chen Qi shouted loudly.
This fog is not right!
Inside the fog, there were ships of the Black Whale Group!
The somewhat timid Number Three trembled and shakily pressed the 'Ghost Fire Mode' button on the ship.
Rumble! Rumble!
With the loud roar of steam, every inch of the ship's planks began to turn mottled, and like a huge explosion, green ghostly flames erupted instantly, leaving a large trail of ghost fire on the surface of the sea.
"Wow!"
Outside, the ship, the surprised voices of deep-sea Water Elf Number Two and the Flower Witch were suddenly heard.
"An, An, our ship was attacked by an unknown spell, it's the ghost ship, the ghost ship captain from the near sea!"

Fen was momentarily flustered.
Damn it, I forgot to explain the features of our ship to Fen... Chen Qi shouted loudly:
"Fen, stay calm! This is our ship's overload mode! Don't worry, be very careful of the things in the fog!"
Chen Qi hesitated no more, thrust the lever forward, and brought the ship's speed to its maximum.
The wreckage atop the sea surface just now belonged to the elite warships of the Blood Blade Pirate Group!
The team capable of defeating those warships was certainly formidable!
And at this moment, the ship's radar system also showed five huge red dots.
This radar that Bri gave us is actually useful... Chen Qi was inwardly shocked.
According to the radar, the five red dots were positioned around the ship.
Wait, this distribution?
Encirclement?
So quickly?
Chen Qi was suddenly startled.
Even though he couldn't see the appearance of these ships through the dense fog, they had already tightly encircled him, trapped like a turtle in a jar!
Is this what an experienced warship is like...
Chen Qi clenched his teeth.
His nautical combat experience was not rich enough.
Moreover, as the victors of this marine area, they probably had a way to deal with the dense fog.
After all, this place's fog was not the same as the Mist Sea's, unable to interfere with the detection of Spiritual Power.
And just then, a loud voice came from the distant fog:
"Little ship afar! Stop, you have been surrounded by us!"
"In this fog, even if you are a near sea ghost, you are but a creature in our cage!"
"I give you ten seconds to stop your ship."
Ten seconds? Stop, to hand over the ship to you?
Chen Qi looked at the pulsing red dots on the radar, searching for a breakthrough, then sharply turned the ship's bow.
The speeds of those five ships are slower than his! He could break through!
"Fen, be safe! I'm going to speed up!"
"Eh?"
Fen popped out an exclamation mark of panic.
Chen Qi did not hesitate and charged towards the dense fog on the left front.
As the ship accelerated, the voices in the fog grew louder and louder.
