”These prawns are so good! ”

Zhang Lie folded his arms.
”Don ’t just eat! When will these lifeforms appear? ”

Zhu shrugged.
”I can ’t say.
At any rate, when my father came here for the first time, he found such a lifeform and got on it curiously.
It brought him into the sea of mists, where he found a dazzling array of boats within.
My father guessed that those were the boats that had gotten trapped within, never to emerge again. ”

”If we don ’t see this supposed lifeform by tomorrow, let ’s leave. ”

They had already wasted half a month on the island.
Who knew when these lifeforms would show up? It might, in the worst-case scenario, be a decade or two.
Zhang Lie didn ’t have that much time to waste.

As they were talking, fog rose into the air and enveloped them both.
Zhang Lie frowned.
”It ’s still early.
Where did this fog come from? ”

Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared before his eyes.
Zhang Lie pulled Zhu back with him and glanced at the shadow in shock—it was a huge beast of steel, with a gigantic body and a hull studded with cannons.

This was, this was…
a warship!

An old, deserted warship, slowly rusting away, the likes of which could only be seen in museums.
It was surrounded by an aura of antiquity, of history long lost.
Cannon fire pocked the hull of the warship, leaving indents and bullet holes behind.

If Zhang Lie hadn ’t been to a museum in his youth, he wouldn ’t have recognized it.

He glanced at the warship through the lens of his dragon ’s pupils, only to see no soul in sight.
In other words, the warship had no trace of life.
In the human world, that would have been obvious; how could a warship gain sentience? In the dimensional world, however, things were far less concrete.

That said, how could it be possible that a human-made warship could have found its way to the dimensional world? No technology that was brought in from the outside functioned here, but right before him was a massive warship.

After a momentary bout of shock, Zhang Lie smiled.
”Interesting.
Let me find out just what you are! ”

Zhang Lie ’s aura rose.
He was about to punch the boat when Zhu suddenly pulled him back.
”What are you doing?! ”

Zhang Lie frowned.
”You can see that warship, right? ”

”Of course! That ’s the boat I mentioned from earlier.
Although it doesn ’t look much like what my father described, this should be a boat.
If you destroy the boat, Mister, how will we enter the sea of mists? ”

According to Zhu, the warship came from the sea of mists, so they would have to head within to uncover the truth.

”I ’d like to see just who managed to send a warship from the human world here. ” Zhang Lie leapt up onto the deck, bringing Zhu with him.

There was no discernible change in the warship when they landed on it.
It followed its set trajectory and slowly made its way into the sea of mists.

Zhang Lie took the opportunity to go through the entire warship, only to find everything exactly as it should be, at least in reference to the warship he had once seen in a museum.

How could a warship from the human world have appeared in the sea of mists? Most importantly, there was absolutely no one on the ship.

”Could this be a ghost ship? ” Zhang Lie murmured to himself.
