After eating her fill, Su Ying went to the s.h.i.+p’s bridge.

The pirate leader’s whole body tensed up when he saw Su Ying.

Who would have thought that a pirate who dominated the sea all these years would one day be reduced to the level of a helmsman!

Su Ying looked at his dejected expression and said faintly, “Think about your accomplices who have now lost their heads. Don’t you feel very happy instantly?”

The pirate leader was speechless. He was so happy that he wanted to cry!

Su Ying picked up a nautical chart and pored over it. There was a route marked with a black pencil on it. This was the route they were taking, and their final destination was the Jin State.

“Where are we now?”

The pirate leader extended a hand and pointed at the map. “Based on the speed of the s.h.i.+p, we should be at this position now.”

Su Ying saw that they had been sailing for almost a day and a night, yet they had only made so little progress. As she looked further down the nautical chart, she could see a small area ahead that was smeared with yellow material. “What is this place? What does this mark mean?”

“This area is a submerged reef. Special markings are made to let the sailors know that they have to be careful when pa.s.sing through this area. Otherwise, they will get into trouble if they hit the reef.”

“Can’t we go around it?”

“We can go around it, but it will take at least another half a month.”

The weather out in the sea changed too quickly. An hour ago, it was still clear sides, but in the blink of an eye, the weather could change. Staying out in the sea for an additional day meant more danger. Su Ying didn’t want to take a long detour.

However, reefs were also dangerous, so she had to think of a way to avoid them.

Su Ying took the opportunity to enter the interspatial store when she returned to the cabin to rest. She wanted to look for some equipment that could help them avoid the reefs in advance.

In the past, she had mostly operated inland and was less active near the sea. Therefore, there were fewer instruments related to the sea stored in the interspatial store. There were mines to blow up fish, but she could not possibly blow up the submerged reef.

After searching around, she finally found a solar-powered underwater detector in an inconspicuous corner.

Su Ying walked to the deck and attached the light-gathering board on the s.h.i.+p. She wanted to take advantage of the sunny weather to absorb more solar energy.

“Big Sister, what are you doing?” Que Que walked over to Su Ying with a coconut in her arms and curiously stuck her little head out.

Su Ying put away the device before turning around and then said to her, “I’m checking to see if any fish will hit our boat.”

“Big Sister, no fish would be that stupid. This is the coconut that Big Brother asked me to give to you. Have you tried it before, Big Sister?”

Su Ying shook her head. She had only seen it in pictures before. She took the coconut and took a sip. The taste was very light, and there was a faint astringent taste. To her, it wasn’t delicious, but after the juice flowed down her throat, there was a lingering aftertaste of sweetness.

“Big Sister, where is your home? What is it like over there?”

The first thing that came to Su Ying’s mind wasn’t the specific location, but the people.

“It’s in a kingdom called the Chu State. There are many good things to eat and play with. Of course, there are also many bad people who will lie to children.”

At first, Que Que was listening with great interest, but as she listened, she became so frightened toward the end that she threw herself at Su Ying and hugged her waist tightly.

“Big Sister, 1 am afraid of bad people.”

“Que Que, so after you come ash.o.r.e, no matter what you do, you have to follow your big brother and me closely, understand?” Children were always playful. After going ash.o.r.e, they would be easily attracted by all kinds of novel things. If the adults did not watch them carefully, the kids would run off elsewhere. It was not a bad thing to let Que Que be mentally guarded now.

“Got it, Big Sister. 1 won’t wander off.”

Su Ying was also worried about scaring her too much, so she told her some interesting things to divert her attention.

Over the next few days, the sailing was quite smooth. The heavens smiled on them, and the weather was always sunny.

That day, late in the night, Su Ying was about to sleep when she heard the alarm of the detector going off.

She quickly sat up and turned on the detector screen to take a look. She found that their s.h.i.+p was very close to the reef.

Su Ying got up from the bed and walked out. When she reached the deck, she saw Mo Tu standing there. He turned around when he heard the noise.

“Why aren’t you asleep yet, Heroine Su?”

Su Ying looked at the detector on her hand and said, “We’re about to reach the reef. Entering these waters at night may lead us to hit the reef at any time. I’m worried.”

Mo Tu frowned. Indeed, they had to be careful when they were near the reefs. “I’ll be keeping watch down here. Call me if you need anything.”

Su Ying nodded and went to the s.h.i.+p’s bridge.

Now, in order to ensure the safe navigation of the s.h.i.+p, Su Ying would allow the pirate leader to rest every day around midnight. It wasn’t midnight yet, so he was still at the s.h.i.+p’s bridge.

The pirate leader’s whole body stiffened when he saw Su Ying enter. “Heroine… Heroine, why are you here?”

“Are we about to reach the submerged reefs?”

The pirate leader only recovered himself after hearing Su Ying’s words. “Yes, we should be getting near soon.”

“It’s even more dangerous to sail at night. Let’s find a place to stop the s.h.i.+p first and leave after daybreak tomorrow.”

The pirate leader nodded. It was dangerous to navigate near submerged reefs to begin with, let alone navigate in the darkness of the night.

Su Ying told the pirate leader to rest. He had been at sea for many years, so he should have more experience dealing with such matters than they did. He had to be extremely alert when navigating through submerged reefs.

At night, both Su Ying and Mo Tu didn’t sleep. Although the s.h.i.+p had come to a stop, there were still winds and undercurrents in the sea. After they fell asleep, no one knew where they would float to, so they had to pay attention to the movement of the s.h.i.+p at all times.

Su Ying stood on the deck and surveyed the turbulent sea shrouded in darkness. The sea was like a giant beast that could devour everything.

“Go to sleep. I’ll keep watch at night,” Mo Tu said.

Su Ying also felt that there was no need for the two of them to keep watch, so she stood up and said, “You guard the first half of the night. I’ll come to take over your s.h.i.+ft in the second half of the night.”

“Alright.”

Su Ying returned to the cabin. When she opened her eyes again, the sky outside was already bright.

The swaying of the s.h.i.+p was indeed very inducive to making one sleepy.

She quickly got up, got dressed, and walked out. She saw that Mo Tu was still sitting on the deck.

“Sorry, I didn’t get up last night.”

Mo Tu smiled nonchalantly. “It’s fine. I can’t sleep anyway.”

“You can go and rest.”

Mo Tu shook his head. “I caught quite a few fish last night. I’ll go make breakfast first.” With that, he got up and went to the cabin.

Su Ying took out the device and turned it on. She found that they were a little closer to the submerged reef. The rolling waves from last night must have brought the s.h.i.+p nearer again.

The pirate leader had also gotten up. When he found out that they were about to reach the submerged reefs, he did not dare to let his guard down. After all, he was also on this s.h.i.+p and he did not want to die.

Su Ying walked to the s.h.i.+p’s bridge and said, “In a while, navigate in accordance with the directions 1 tell you.”

“Heroine, you know how to avoid the submerged reef area?”

“Mm-hmm.”

“Alright.”

After the pirate leader set sail, the s.h.i.+p quickly sailed into the submerged reef area.

After entering the area, Su Ying discovered that not only were there submerged reefs, but there were also many near-sea-surface reefs.

“I’ll steer.”

The pirate leader was a little worried. “Heroine, have you navigated a s.h.i.+p before?”

Of course, Su Ying had navigated s.h.i.+ps before. However, this was the first time she steered such an ancient vessel. “Let me try first.”

As she spoke, she held the steering wheel and avoided the danger zones according to the instructions on the device. Every step she took was very careful.

Fortunately, their s.h.i.+p was not big and was relatively agile when it was taking avoidance measures.

Just when Su Ying thought they were about to leave the submerged reef area, the alarm on the device suddenly sounded. She quickly stopped the s.h.i.+p..
