Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 37 Leaving the Island
Yi Mengying had been on this small, isolated island for quite some time and was quite familiar with it. She had discovered a small, swaying boat in a small harbor, and had been preparing to leave ever since. The boat was well-stocked with food and plenty of fresh water, and she was waiting for a good day to depart. Her supplies on the island were almost gone; if she didn't leave soon, she would starve to death, as she didn't know how to farm or produce food. When she saw Lan Tian, ​​she initially thought he was a passing demon boy who might pose a danger. However, upon realizing he was human and posed no threat, she felt relieved and knew she could now leave safely.

Lantian stayed on the island with Yingying for two days and two nights, packing extra food and water for the sea in case of emergency. The sea would be unpredictable once they left, so it was always good to have extra supplies. They didn't know how long they would have to sail, how far the next island was, or how long they would be adrift at sea.

The next morning, Lan Tian and Yi Mengying boarded a small boat, raised the sails, and set sail to begin their life adrift at sea. Lan Tian considered that traveling by boat was safer, and it would be inconvenient for Huo Fenghuang to carry them both. Since they didn't know how long the journey would take, and the possibility of the ocean being too rough for Huo Fenghuang to walk on, it would be extremely dangerous. Therefore, setting off by boat was the best option, allowing Huo Fenghuang to rest and recuperate properly, giving him peace of mind, and preparing for any unforeseen circumstances.

"Brother Blue Sky, where are you planning to go?"

"I don't know where to go right now, I'll just take it one step at a time!"

"Wherever you go, I'll go. I'm all alone now, with no one to rely on. Brother Lantian is my support."

"Okay, I'll take care of you. Don't worry, I'll make sure you get plenty to eat."

Lantian now feels he has an extra responsibility; this guy is just being lazy.

Sailing at sea, the weather is unpredictable. For everyone's safety, Fire Phoenix goes out to patrol every now and then to see if there are any dangers ahead. One day, Blue Sky and Yi Mengying were sunbathing on the deck when Fire Phoenix suddenly swooped down from the sky and stopped in front of them in a hurry.

"Master, there's a demonic transport fleet ahead, we're about to run into them. They might have high-level martial artists on board, what should we do?"

"How many ships are there? How long until we see them?"

"There are five large ships in total, and they will meet in half an hour. What should we do?"

Lan Tian was deep in thought, worried about Yi Mengying. A major battle was inevitable, and they had to be defeated. He instructed Fire Phoenix to protect Yingying closely and not to leave her side easily. If there was any danger, they should take Yingying and leave this sea area first. He would go and scout ahead. It was getting dark, and they couldn't possibly find them immediately. They should turn off their lights and proceed slowly in the dark.

Lan Tian spread his wings and soared into the sky, disappearing silently into the night. Ahead, five large ships were brightly lit and heavily guarded; they were undoubtedly carrying important supplies. The five ships were sailing close together, forming a long column. Lan Tian considered his options; he had to take them down one by one, a sneak attack being the best strategy.

Lantian flew over their last ship. This place probably didn't hold important supplies, so the defenses were lax. He observed carefully, waiting for his chance. Suddenly, the fleet stopped. There was a reef ahead, and the fleet stopped to rest around it. The ships moved closer together to rest. The last ship slowly came together, and the demons on board began to drink and eat heartily.

Lan Tian quietly landed at the stern of the ship, observing its movements from the shadows. He saw that the demons on board were all quite drunk, sprawled out and fast asleep. Lan Tian decided to go in and see what they were transporting. He stepped over them, descended into the cabin, and carefully opened the hatch. He saw that the lower levels were filled with humans, layer upon layer, men, women, and children, crammed together. The cabin was damp and dark, with foul odors rising from below, making Lan Tian unbearable. How could so many people be living comfortably down there? Seeing the astonished looks on the people's faces, Lan Tian didn't know what to do!
