Led by the younger twin warrior brother Gordon, everyone guarding the ship at the dock clearly heard the commotion coming from deep within the canyon.

The roar of humans, the high-frequency buzzing of magical energy, the loud collisions of objects, the wild cries of demons...

They could deduce that the core adventurer team of their fleet was likely fighting intensely with one or more magic beasts.

Judging by the duration of the sounds and the intensity of the roars, the enemy was indeed formidable, seemingly causing Lorin and her team to fall into a tough battle.

That’s why the elder brother Rein, who was also stationed at the dock, went to support them alone.

Currently, it has been a while since the noises ceased from the depths of the canyon.

The professionals who ventured away from the fleet for exploration, including Rein who later went to provide support, have not returned.

This caused anxiety among the crew aboard the Vengeance Blade Blade, as whispers could be heard across the deck.

Fortunately, as the only remaining professional in the team now, Gordon stood firmly at the bow of the ship, maintaining a calm expression despite his inner turmoil, offering the sailors a sense of stability and preventing unknown situations from causing unnecessary panic.

"Pat... Pat..."

The urgent footsteps resounded from the depths of the canyon.

Standing silently at the bow, Gordon’s expression turned tense as he stared ahead, while the crew behind him gripped their weapons tightly, holding their breaths.

Then, a sudden release of tension.

What appeared before everyone was not the horrifying magic beast they imagined that defeated the team, but the team’s stellar fishing half orc, Alton.

Just as they were sighing in relief, before being able to inquire about the situation, they saw the small figure running while vigorously waving his little hand, shouting loudly:

"Come help! Everyone, come help!"

...

...

The most dangerous enemy had already had its head chopped off by Xia Nan, dead for good.

On the battlefield, there were only some scattered fishman corpses left, no need for battle, hence no danger.

Led by Alton to the canyon depths, the crew that came to help clean up the battlefield was startled by seeing the powerful professionals injured, and shocked by the huge shark beast towering over four meters like a small mountain.

Even just as a corpse, it was enough to send chills down the spine of the seasoned sailors who couldn’t fathom such a brutal beast standing before them.

For this reason, upon hearing Alton’s explanation of the situation on the way, realizing that it was the newly joined black-haired youth named "Xia Nan" who turned the tide and beheaded the shark beast, even their gaze toward him turned curious.

It’s hard to imagine how someone with a height close to 1.9 meters could wield a sword and slice off the head of such a beast.

But considering the battle had just ended, the field was filled with a thick smell of blood, and several core adventurers were gravely injured, it was clearly not the time to delve into such curiosities.

The crew wisely kept silent, focusing on cleaning up the battlefield.

Thus, the mission of the Vengeance Blade Blade Ship Group was concluded successfully.

The gains might not be abundant, but they amounted to quite a lot.

First, there’s the reward from the adventurer association for investigating the potential ancient ruins emerging in Twin Canyon.

The exotic styled, dilapidated buildings blending with the rocky walls and overgrown shrubbery in the canyon were proof enough, allowing them to deliver the commission at a relatively high completion rate.

Even because of the appearance of the powerful mutated shark beast in the canyon depths, which was outside of the initial intelligence, they could apply for additional mission rewards from the association.

Of course, that’ll be a topic for later.

Secondly, there were the spoils collected from several battles along the journey.

Including the weapons and equipment taken from the Sha Hua Fishmen, and the two earlier Magic Sea Shells obtained from the fishman priest encountered on Wild Rabbit Island.

Finally, there were the items from the Twin Canyon ruins.

As the first explorers to arrive at the canyon, the Vengeance Blade Blade Squad naturally deserved the most benefits while facing unknown dangers.

Within the ruins, anything they deemed sellable was loaded onto the ship by the crew.

Even though most of it might end up getting tossed into the sea, as long as a few pieces catch the attention of collectors in Suo Yu Bay and are sold for a good price, it wouldn’t be a wasted trip.

It’s worth mentioning that the [Blood Vein Rock Comprehensive Surgery Bed], which Xia Nan previously discovered through the attribute panel, wasn’t forgotten. It was hauled onto the ship by several strong sailors and stored in the warehouse, waiting to be assessed upon returning to Suo Yu Bay.

According to the agreement Xia Nan made with Lorin and others earlier, he would receive Gold Coins as part of the association’s task reward and the profits from spoils before arriving at Twin Canyon.

Estimating roughly one to two hundred Gold Coins at most, given so many people to split, even if the total income was high, the average distribution was just ordinary.

Compared to his real gains from this mission, these indeed were just side bonuses.

In unseen aspects, the high-quality battles during this task significantly enhanced Xia Nan’s Battle Skill levels.
