Grand Voyage: Surviving on a Ghost Ship

Suna's clothes were soaked, which could be extremely deadly in the icy snowfield!

She had no time to change, as Yang Yi's voice came from below, telling her to set sail in two minutes and try to break free from the clutches of these worms.

...

Below, Yang Yi had already reached the remotest iceberg.

The massive iron sword in his hand swung with great power, quickly severing all the worms on it.

But at that moment, Yang Yi's energy was nearly depleted, leaving only a sliver remaining. For an ordinary person, it would already pose a risk of fainting.

In his frenzied state, Yang Yi seemed tireless and even began using his blood energy to replace his stamina!

After cutting down the last tentacle, Yang Yi started running back.

What he didn't anticipate was that the last iceberg had a hidden move. After he had travelled some distance back, four or five tentacles stretched out from underwater.

Under normal circumstances, Yang Yi would have noticed immediately, especially with the advantage of his three eyes.

However, his three-eyed enhancement was running out, and to prevent mishaps, he had already donned an eyepatch.

Four or five worm tentacles of varying thickness lunged towards Yang Yi, unaware. 

It wasn’t until he heard the sound of wind behind him and felt the suction force that he realised something was wrong.

A one metre-wide circular mouth, lined with sharp teeth like inverted hooks, was closing in on him...

“Damn!”

Yang Yi gripped the sword with both hands, trying to turn around and strike it, but it had already gained the upper hand — there was no time!

To make matters worse, behind this giant worm were several thinner ones.

At that moment, a bizarre scene unfolded. 

The worms appeared to be influenced by some mysterious force; their movements became chaotic, and they became entangled with one another. In no time, they formed a dead knot.

The worms immediately abandoned their pursuit, staying in place and writhing in an attempt to untangle themselves.

Taking advantage of the situation, Yang Yi put some distance between himself and the danger, making his way to the nearest iceberg.

Looking ahead, he saw that the Nightmare Star had already freed itself from the icebergs' entanglement and was just a dozen metres away.

Still, the strange phenomenon left Yang Yi puzzled.

He didn’t think it was a natural occurrence — it had to be someone helping him.

"Could it be Suna..."

After all, among those present, the only one who could help him was Suna — there were no other options.

He shouted towards the Nightmare Star, “Suna, use the grappling hook to pull me up, quickly!”

At the same time, he sent her a private message.

He waited for over ten seconds, but the Nightmare Star remained unresponsive, and no one appeared at the ship’s bow.

Meanwhile, new icebergs began approaching from behind. 

Yang Yi stopped waiting, checked the remaining duration of the Crimson Elixir, and saw he had 107 seconds left.

That was more than enough time to swim over.

He retrieved a stomach pouch and a long-legged sardine from his swimsuit. Using the sardine, he opened the stomach pouch and stuffed the iron sword inside. Then, he leapt into the icy sea.

With his exceptional physical condition, swimming was as natural as breathing. No swimmer of the past could compare to him; his physical fitness had pushed the limits of human ability!

Even the freezing seawater was no threat to him.

That was only because he had placed a lightweight, insulating fire-fleece sweater inside his full-body sharkskin swimsuit!

Thirty-some seconds later, Yang Yi finished swimming and climbing, successfully reaching the deck of the Nightmare Star.

He quickly found Suna at the ship’s bow.

She had collapsed by the helm, her clothes soaked with seawater and a layer of frost already forming on them.

Yang Yi immediately picked her up and took control of the helm, steering the Nightmare Star to retreat, before carrying Suna back to her cabin.

The room was still warm, with the fireplace burning and the temperature around ten degrees Celsius.

Yang Yi checked Suna's condition and found that she wasn’t injured, just unconscious with a low body temperature.

At the same time, the Crimson Elixir’s effect ended. Yang Yi felt his throat burn and his body severely dehydrated.

He didn’t dare drink what looked like water in Suna’s room as there was no way of knowing if it actually was. 

To be safe, he endured his thirst, retrieved the stomach pouch from his swimsuit, and used some leftover black bread on the table to open it, taking out the water inside to drink.

Gulp, gulp, gulp!

Yang Yi drained 2 litres of fresh water in one go, finally regaining his strength.

He then quickly dried Suna's body, put a spare sweater on her, and tucked her into the bed.

With the room’s high temperature, she would be fine.

After finishing all that, Yang Yi hurried out of the cabin, as the Nightmare Star was still in danger!

The worms were still relentlessly approaching!

Without changing his clothes, Yang Yi rushed to the bow deck and drank a bottle of Regeneration Elixir to recover.

His stamina was already depleted, and he was relying on his blood energy to keep going.

Out at sea, the ten or so icebergs had moved a distance away from the Nightmare Star.

Without their tentacles, the icebergs seemed to lose their mobility, becoming mere obstacles drifting with the waves.

Meanwhile, in the distance, the approaching icebergs were blocked by the ten or so already there, forcing them to detour.

Their target was unified: the giant bobbit worm's head at the Nightmare Star’s bow.

That thing was a dead object.

The worms wouldn’t stop unless they tore it completely to pieces.

Judging by the situation, the two types of creatures had to be mortal enemies, preying on each other in a relentless battle to the death.

Yang Yi didn’t keep retreating. Instead, he started estimating the speed of the icebergs, which ended up being approximately 20 to 40 knots, with significant variation between each.

The Nightmare Star’s maximum speed was a staggering 65 knots, meaning the icebergs...could only take the hits passively!

Yang Yi manoeuvred the Nightmare Star to meet them head-on, preparing to show the worms the true fear of cannons!

As soon as they got within firing range, Yang Yi turned the ship sideways, took aim, and… 

Boom! Boom!

The strange cannon sound echoed, without any visible flash of fire.

Two projectiles shot out of the cannon; one hit its target, the other splashed into the sea, sending up a spray of water.

At a distance of two to three hundred metres, hitting the target was still quite challenging.

Fortunately, the cannonball’s power did not disappoint Yang Yi.

The iceberg hit by the shell shattered into fragments. 

Countless worms emerged from beneath the water, thrashing about wildly.

It was a good sign, because it meant the projectile had struck its main body!

A few more shots, and he would penetrate the icy layer and deal a direct blow to its core!

The worms tried to retaliate, but their length was limited and far outclassed by the cannon’s 350-metre range.

Thus, the slaughter began.

Yang Yi controlled the Nightmare Star, keeping a safe distance from the cluster of icebergs while relentlessly firing cannonballs.

The icebergs couldn’t match his speed, and their tentacles couldn’t reach him — they could only take the blows passively!

The first iceberg completely shattered, signalling its death.

From the sea emerged a hideous, giant creature.

It was a white fleshy sphere, already ruptured and spilling out unidentifiable organs and tissue.

The spherical surface was connected to more than a dozen worm-like tentacles of varying thickness.

After its death, the tentacles lost control and splayed loosely across the sea’s surface.

From above, it looked like a grotesque flower.
