Unlike the orcs who live peacefully in cities and tribes, the lives of stray beasts are worthless and they live on the edge of a knife. They are not only cruel to others, but also to themselves.

Those who can survive are those who have fought their way back from the bottom. They are much stronger than ordinary orcs in both ability and character. Moreover, after years of transporting supplies back and forth between the sea and the Xisha River, they have also honed enough experience to deal with various emergencies.

That's why he dared to take her by water, a dangerous yet convenient fast route.

By boat?

Hu Feifei looked surprised and turned to Lan Xiu with fluctuating eyes.

No wonder this time the route was different from the previous ones. It turned out that he planned to take me by water.

But how could there be ships in the animal world?

Was it the ancient ship she had imagined?

With curiosity in mind, she followed Lan Xiu into the tribe where the sea and land orcs were trading.

This tribe is very large, and looks like a small city. There are stone houses everywhere and walls more than three meters high.

Outside the wall is the rolling waves of the Xisha River and the dock, where several stray animals are carrying goods.

Further away, she could vaguely see a huge black shadow on the river surface reflecting the vast sunset glow. It should be the merchant ship that Lan Xiu mentioned, but the distance was too far for her to see clearly.

Because the orcs in the tribe had prepared a sumptuous dinner for them, Lan Xiu decided to eat before getting on the boat, so she could only suppress her curiosity about the boat temporarily.

The dinner was held outside on an empty lawn, which was brightly lit because of bonfires lit everywhere.

The dinner consisted of various roasted meats. She ate a little and stopped eating. She looked at Lan Xiu and asked, "When are we going to get on board?"

Lan Xiu put down the barbecue in his hand, and seeing her impatient look, a smile appeared in his deep icy eyes, "You can come whenever you want."

Her eagerness to go back to his territory with him greatly pleased him, making him feel happy and the smile in his eyes more intense.

Although she didn't seem to be in a good mood towards me, the fact that she didn't resist and followed me obediently, didn't it indirectly prove her true thoughts?

The best answer is not to resist or reject.

The corner of Hu Feifei's mouth twitched. She didn't know why this wolf was so happy about such a simple question. He smiled with a worthless look on his face.

He wiped his hands, stood up and said calmly, "I'm full, take me on board."

She was very curious about the animal world's ship and wanted to see it for real.

Under the firelight, the man's handsome eyebrows and eyes were eye-catching, and the corners of his lips were pulled into a happy arc. He stood up and took her hand, "Okay."

Following his action, the other stray animals put down the barbecue in their hands and stood up respectfully.

Lan Xiu held Hu Feifei's hand and walked towards the dock. As the distance got closer, the black shadow on the water seemed to become larger and more majestic, like a mountain.

The wandering orcs who were carrying the goods saluted respectfully, lowered their heads, quickened their pace, and moved all the supplies on the ship as quickly as possible.

Then move the materials from the land up there.

Walking to the dock, Hu Feifei looked up and stared at the Beast World version of the ship. Her first impression was that it was huge, and her second was that it was simple and primitive.

The shape of the boat is similar to that of ancient ships, but it is not perfect. The hull is made of black ebony and animal bones. It is anchored by the river. In the darkness, it looks like a ferocious beast with its big black mouth open, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.

The strong pirate atmosphere almost made her think she saw the Black Pearl from "Pirates of the Caribbean".

After watching for a while, she was carried onto the boat by Lan Xiu.

The stray animals immediately followed and lowered all the sails made of animal skins hanging on the mast.

As the ropes were removed, the sails swelled into the wind, and the huge ship, like a giant beast, crushed the layers of waves and moved forward on the waves.

The evening breeze, carrying the fishy and salty smell, filled Hu Feifei's nostrils. She held the railing of the boat and looked at the river where the sky and the earth met in the distance.

Lan Xiu hugged her slender waist tightly, as if he was afraid that she would fall into the water and be swallowed up. His voice was gentle, "Fei Fei, come into the cabin. It's windy here. Don't catch a cold."

She was only wearing a thin skirt and he was afraid she would get sick from the wind, and there were no herbs on the boat.

It will be troublesome if you get sick.

Hu Feifei's dark brown hair was blown up by the evening breeze. She turned around to look at the handsome man beside her, sniffed her cold nose, and her clear voice was a little broken by the wind.

"How long will it take to reach the Ghost Island?"

"It won't take long, maybe seven or eight days." Lan Xiu lowered his head, and his blue eyes, like deep pools, met her gaze, revealing a hint of tenderness.

He used his arms to pull her into his arms and shield her from the night wind.

Hu Feifei didn't want to reenact the classic scene from the Titanic with him on the deck. After losing her initial interest in the ship, she walked towards the cabin with a dull look on her face.

The cabin space is very spacious, with three-story cabins built with ebony for the orcs on the ship to rest.

As soon as they saw her coming, the stray animals lowered their heads in awe, not daring to glance at her for fear of losing their lives.

Due to her status, the cabin she lived in was naturally the largest and most luxurious one on the entire ship. It had everything and seemed to have been specially decorated. The floor of the entire room was covered with a snow-white blanket, and the bedding was a pink plush four-piece set.

The cabinets inside were filled with all kinds of beautiful skirts, some made of animal skins, some made of silk and brocade, and some gorgeous mermaid skirts.

It is simply every female’s dream room!

Although she was slightly touched in her heart, she remained calm on the surface. She looked at Lan Xiu who was following her and said, "It's getting late. I need to rest."

In order to prevent the wolf from touching her, she thought it would be better to sleep separately.

So she raised her hand to close the door, but was held back by a pair of slender hands.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "There are many rooms here. You don't want to share a room with me, do you?"

"Of course, we are partners so we should sleep in the same room." Lan Xiu looked at her with a smile and spoke leisurely.

"Besides, the water isn't that safe. I have to watch over you and protect you at all times."

In response to his direct and unconcealed statement, Hu Feifei's mouth twitched slightly, and after thinking it over, she finally let go of his hand.

Forget it, whatever he wants.

Because even if she kicked him out, he would still sneak back in later.

Entering the house, she spread an animal skin on the ground and gave an order to a certain wolf, "You can sleep here, but you can only sleep on the ground."

Lan Xiu had no objection and said good-temperedly: "I can sleep anywhere as long as I can stay by your side."

Hu Feifei remained calm in response to his kindness. She turned her back to him, changed into a looser skirt as pajamas, lay down lazily in the fluffy quilt, and closed her eyes.

Seeing that she fell asleep as soon as she lay down, Lan Xiu understood that she must be exhausted from the running around in the past few days. He tucked the quilt for her with heartache, then suddenly turned into a snow wolf and stood guard by her bed.
