After that, Ji Ye activated his “Ride the Mist” and leaped into the air from the gourd-shaped island.

Hum!

He flew for about 10km in the air when the air suddenly seemed to ripple around him.

The next second, he was nowhere to be seen.

“Someone’s there.”

“It’s the master!”

While everyone was discussing among themselves, Ji Ye landed on a 50-meter long double-decked red warship.

[Mirage Dragon Warship]

[Level: Special]

[Rarity: Superior]

[Description: A special warship made from Transcendent Mirage Dragon bones, the rare red wood and purple wood of the Twin Dragon Island, and various other resources. It has a number of spectacular powers including invisibility, water manipulation, and mirage creation!]

“So, how did the test go?”

When the mist around Ji Ye dissipated, he asked a middle-aged player, who wore an overall and had pen and paper in his hands.

“Most of our designed goals have been reached,” said the old man.

Before coming to the Land of Inheritance, he was a senior engineer of a shipbuilding group.

“Its speed can reach 10 knots, propelled by seaweed only.”

The bottom of the warship was covered by a layer of two-meter thick seaweed that was of a bluish brown color. Right now, they were making a rowing motion in the water, pushing the warship forward.

“If we open the Hurricane Pirate Flag, the speed can reach 20 knots even when the Transcendent power isn’t activated…”

The middle-aged engineer pointed at a black-and-red ship hanging on the mast.

[Hurricane Pirate Flag]

[Level: Special]

[Rarity: Excellent]

[Description: It can create very strong winds. When the Transcendent power is activated, it can set off a terrifying hurricane!]

“Moreover, we’ve used the equipment left behind by the Snake Monkeys. With some alteration, we’ve made two Fire Oil Turbines for the Mirage Dragon Warship. When they’re switched on, the speed of the Mirage Dragon Warship can exceed 40 knots at full load.”

The senior engineer was called Su Ming, and he showed Ji Ye around with a respected look on his face.

“Moreover, the ship is equipped with 10 Ameagle 75mm caliber naval guns manufactured through the military technology of Skynet. The range of the shell is ten kilometers. A frontal hit is enough to cause serious injury or even life-threatening damage to Extraordinary Rank-7 targets.

“Apart from that, multiple barrel machine guns and flame ejectors for medium and short range combat are arranged in all parts of the ship.”

Yes, in the past two weeks, the “scientific and technological level” of the Twin Dragon Island had been advancing by leaps and bounds.

It was thanks partly to the legacy of the Snake Monkeys and partly to the military technology in SkyNet. Moreover, it was also because of the 500 or so elite members among the 1000 new players.

Needless to say, the Mirage Dragon Warship was the brainchild of the most advanced current technology of the Twin Dragon Island.

“As far as staffing is concerned, so far, there are a total of 30 logistics and staff members on board, with another 70 Extraordinary combative personnel.”

The size of the Mirage Dragon Warship would put it among medium to large warships in ancient times. At full load, it could carry around 500 people.

Because the Twin Dragon Mount only had a small navy, this was going to be a trial voyage.

Therefore, there were only 100 people on board.

“Specifically, the combative personnel consisted of 50 Dragon Tooth Battalion members and 20 Water Demons.”

The Dragon Tooth Battalion had expanded further, but because there were only so many Mirage Dragon teeth, 50 was about the maximum number.

The 20 Water Demons weren’t all summoned by Souls of Civilization of Extraordinary Rank-5 or above.

Most of them were trained by using the Water Demon Training Method dropped by the Yuan North King, and it was also thanks to the great number of war trophies with soul property dropped by the Ghostship.

Since training them would cost a lot of resources, their number was also limited.

The leader of the Dragon Tooth Battalion was still Ruan Xiaoer the Walking Fiend, while the Water Demons were led by Ruan Xiaoqi the Living King Yama.

Come to think of it, “Living King Yama” went quite well with “Water Demons”.

The King’s Soul, the Superior talent Ji Ye obtained, was claimed by Ruan Xiaoer by spending some of the Honor he accumulated and given to Ruan Xiaoqi.

Hence, the most popular one of the three Ruan brothers now had the potential that matched his nickname.

As for the individual Honor points system, it was set up in the past two weeks, following the suggestion of those third batch of new players who had experience in managing large firms.

Right now, all the players and natives could claim things that were allowed to be exchanged with their Honor points from the war trophy vault.

This could also be regarded as a “hope” for those ordinary players to better arouse their enthusiasm.

Apart from the special force and firearms, the Mirage Dragon Warship was also equipped with something very special.

A purplish red tree about 10m tall grew on the deck. It had blood-red leaves resembling maple leaves and was surrounded by nearly a hundred tenuous vines that could change their color according to the environment they were in.

It was none other than Ji Ye’s first “contract creature”, the “Tree Demon” that grew from the seed of the Thousand-Year Tree Demon that had mutated after absorbing the seed of the Bloodsoul Vine Tree.

This special tree that he had named “Blood” had its own will and could even move around on its own.

However, how could it obtain nutrients to sustain itself in the middle of the sea?

Hum!

A tightened vine suddenly appeared at the rear of the Mirage Dragon Warship.

Splash!

Immediately after that, a snowy-white creature over a meter long that looked like a seal with fangs struggled violently as the vine dragged it onto the deck, as if the tree was fishing.

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

The Ordinary Rank-7 sea creature soon shriveled after that. Its blood was drained before it traveled all the way up along the vine toward the tree trunk and leaves.

In the end, Blood had one more bright red leaf.

There were more than enough monsters in the sea, and the vines of Blood could change their color based on the environment they were in. Moreover, they could also interweave into nets, which could easily catch the food the tree needed.

Pop! Crackle!

However, the ship could easily run into intimidating creatures in the sea.

Hum!

Next to Ji Ye and the middle-aged engineer, a vine with the same color as the deck emerged and tried to pull the creature it caught out of the water.

Pa!

The vine was able to sustain a load as heavy as 10 tons in the test runs.

But it couldn’t withstand the weight it carried now and snapped.

Boom!

Immediately after that, the sea ahead of the Mirage Dragon Warship seemed to be enraged. Tidal waves rose up and smashed down at the ship.

No, it wasn’t the seawater.

It was a transparent creature with a color similar to the sea!

[Conqueror Jellyfish]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-6]

[Rarity: Quasi-Commander]

[Description: A type of extremely powerful jellyfish. It is said that it could indefinitely expand its body.]

The creature was about half the size of the Mirage Dragon Warship, and when it smashed down, it reminded one of a ten-meter wave.

Although the Extraordinary power of an Extraordinary Rank-6 creature wasn’t all that intimidating, the jellyfish could annihilate most of its enemies with its sheer size. It didn’t even have to activate its Extraordinary power.

Hum!

But the jellyfish wasn’t able to reach the Mirage Dragon Warship.

Because a shield in the form of a red glow appeared where the jellyfish was smashing down, stopping it before it fell onto the ship.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Over on the other side, over a dozen vines plummeted into the sea. Like anchors, they stabilize the ship so that the impact wouldn’t throw the ship off balance.

The Mutated Tree Demon could use the power in the blood it stored to create a “Blood Shield” that was big enough to cover the entire ship, which was why Ji Ye chose to put Blood on the ship.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Immediately after that, vines as thick as fingers moved frantically under the deck like a precise machine, soon filling the space.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

After that, dozens of blood vines with tips as sharp as sword blades pierced the Conqueror Jellyfish. The vines then expanded like water pump tubes, sucking the liquid out of the jellyfish, which began to shrink at a tremendous speed.

Splash!

Sensing the danger, the jellyfish tried to flee. Its tremendous force even dragged the ship forward with it for a few kilometers. But in the end, it still shrank to a fist-sized object with the gleam of a war trophy.

[Jellyfish Skin]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-6]

[Rarity: Excellent (Rare)]

[Description: The skin of a young Conqueror Jellyfish is a very rare manufacturing material.]

Apart from that, the jellyfish also dropped an object from Earth, a bottle of shampoo with an action star printed on the front.

“Gosh. Won’t the shampoo from this brand make you go bald?”

A logistics player’s eyes widened when he saw the brand.

“Hey, look!

“Is there a body floating in the sea?”

A player up on the observant tower opened his eyes even wider.

After being dragged away by the young Conqueror Jellyfish for a few kilometers, the Mirage Dragon Warship wasn’t that far from the misty region ahead of them.

They now saw a human corpse floating on the sea, and judging by the style of the clothes, the person wasn’t from the Twin Dragon Island.
