Chapter 569: Chapter 569: The Mist Clears Away

"Oh my god, what happened now?" Lu Yi couldn’t help but complain, then heard some footsteps. But this time, they were not approaching, but retreating.

Everyone held their breath and listened intently. Indeed, the footsteps were receding, which meant they were safe, and everyone cheered.

"Stay alert!" Gu Fan warned the group cautiously.

Just then, the fog in the cabin began to slowly dissipate, making everything around it visible again. Everyone could see the terrified expressions on each other’s faces.

The threatening footsteps had receded, and even the fog had cleared, meaning it was relatively safe now. Gu Fan quickly sprang into action, making it a priority to find Lin Xi, Gu Ling, and the other women.

After searching the cabin for a while with no results, Gu Fan ran outside. As he stepped out, his foot slipped, he lost his balance and stumbled towards the railing. Due to the boat tilting, Gu Fan was dumped overboard.

Gu Fan, however, reacted quickly and managed to hold onto the railing, saving himself from falling into the sea. The others reached him in the nick of time and pulled him back on board.

"Oh my god, that was close." Gu Fan climbed back, looked around and found that they were stranded next to a small island.

Lu Yi commented, "It’s strange, why did the fog recede as soon as the ship grounded, is there a connection?"

"I don’t know, but many people suffered just now, I must confirm..." Gu Fan was cut off as he saw Lin Xi, Gu Ling, Su Hui, Qin Jia, and the others walking out of the cabin.

Lin Xi was thrilled to see Gu Fan, "Great, you guys are safe too."

"Watch your step!" Gu Fan advised kindly. The women stepped gingerly, fearing they might slip and fall into the sea.

Du Jun rushed over to Qin Jia, clasping her hand tightly. His worried expression suggested his deep fear of losing his love.

Everyone watched in silence with concern for Gu Fan, while Lin Xi directed her sharp gaze towards him. Shivering, Gu Fan quickly moved towards Lin Xi to steady her, asking, "How are you, Lin Xi? Are you hurt, did you get frightened? You have no idea how worried I was."

Lin Xi looked at Gu Fan dismissively. His attempt to mollify her was too late.

Gu Ling complained, "Bro, please pay some attention to your dear sister too. I may not be injured, but I was scared. Look at how fast my heart is beating."

"As long as you’re alive, that’s enough." Gu Fan’s dismissive attitude made Gu Ling sulk: "What kind of brother are you, sidelining your sister after getting a girlfriend."

"Alright, alright. I care about my girlfriend and I care about my sister too. Are you happy now?" Gu Fan ribbed them causing everyone to laugh.

After taking a thorough look around, Su Hui noticed they were stranded next to an island and asked, "Does anyone know where we are?"

Everyone looked blank and turned their gazes towards Ouyang Jin. Ouyang Jin looked troubled: "Don’t look at me, I don’t recognise this island either. Clearly, this cargo ship has sailed into the centre of the Triangle Sea Area and there’s nothing I can do."

Du Jun questioned, "You’re the guide hired at a high price. Can’t you figure it out? Haven’t you ever set foot in this area before?"

Regrettably, Ouyang Jin shook his head: "I’m sorry, I haven’t even been here for a year. It feels great to recognise a few safe islands, let alone the entirety of the Sanqian Islands. Among all the tour guides in the Triangle Sea Area, hardly any have set foot in the central region of the Sanqian Islands."

Su Hui watched as the fog slowly dissipate, revealing the island bit by bit. She was puzzled, feeling as if the fog was being manipulated artificially.

Lin Xi deduced, "There’s definitely something wrong with this fog; it’s not a normal one."

Everyone nodded in agreement: "Yeah, something used the fog as a cover, invaded our ship and attacked us."

At that moment, the captain came out and on seeing everyone safe, suggested, "Let’s gather everyone and see if anyone’s missing."

"Okay, let’s count the heads." Gu Fan and Du Jun hoped they hadn’t lost too many people; otherwise, there would be no one left to operate the ship.

Suddenly, Lu Yi looked terrified and quickly pointed forward: "Look, quickly everyone, what’s that?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked in the direction Lu Yi was pointing and saw a huge silhouette emerging from the fog- it looked like a gigantic object.

Everyone was anxious, afraid some monster might come out from the fog.

As the fog cleared, the huge object turned out to be a large ship sailing against the wind.

Ouyang Jin stared in disbelief: "How strange. It’s rare for a ship to dare to enter the central region of the Sanqian Islands. We were forced, but this ship..."

As the ship got closer, everyone could see it clearly and their faces showed disbelief. The massive ship was made of wood, which was unheard of in this era.

As the wooden ship got close enough, they could hear music and laughter coming from it. There were silhouettes moving about on the deck.

When the ship was almost parallel to their cargo ship, everyone looked closely and was astonished to see a lot of people on board. Some were playing music, others were dancing, some were toasting each other. It was a bustling scene, as if a party was going on.

Most surprisingly, people on the wooden ship were all wearing old-fashioned dresses from a thousand years ago. The creepy atmosphere made everyone gasp.

"Hey!" A woman on the wooden ship leaned against the railing, supported her forehead with one hand, and raised a glass with the other hand, showing her friendliness.

"Everyone, look at those people!" Qin Jia was pointing at a few people moving on the wooden ship. Her shock was not baseless; she saw people in pirate and sailor outfits.

Gu Fan recognized a few of them as the crew members from their ship, and also the pirates who had attacked them. He was surprised to see them on the wooden ship.

Everyone yelled a few times, but the crew and the pirates did not respond at all.

Everyone had a rough idea of what was happening but didn’t want to think about it. As they watched the wooden ship sailing away, and the woman dressed in red waving them goodbye, their hearts pounded faster, realising this place was more dangerous than they had ever imagined.
