Chapter 3647: Taking Off

The Skeleton Pirates.
Great Commander Drank was reeking of alcohol.
He had only just fled back to the gathering point not long ago, and had only barely recovered from his panic by gulping down large amounts of liquor.
It was too terrifying!
That kind of horrifying creature.
Whenever he recalled Fang Heng’s murderous gaze, cold sweat still broke out all over him.
One of his subordinates walked in from outside the hall and reported in a low voice, "Great Commander, the latest message has arrived from Duke Windy."
Duke Windy!
That bastard!
He had been completely set up by him.
The entire Skeleton Pirate Crew had almost been wiped out there!
Drank secretly hated him and said through gritted teeth, "That bastard still dares send a message? What did he say?"
The subordinate softened the harsh wording in Duke Windy’s letter and said, "The Cao Ge Chamber of Commerce has set sail again. The Duke wants us to intercept them and reminds us that we must not fail again this time."
"Bang!"
Drank smashed the wine bottle in his hand onto the ground and roared, "That idiot! Does he want us to go die again? Delete that idiot’s positioning method so he can never find us again! If anyone dares mention that fool in front of me again, I’ll personally hang him from the sail!"
"Yes."
"And one more thing! No one is to go out anytime soon! Understood?"
"Yes!"
The subordinates left trembling.
Drank took a deep breath and silently prayed in his heart.
The Cao Ge Chamber of Commerce had gone to sea again.
Hopefully, they were not coming for them.
...
At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce’s ships slowly sailed out of the harbor.
Fang Heng looked out toward the vast sea in the distance.
Meng Qingyu reported, "Your Majesty, our target destination this trip is Sea God Island. Along the way, we will escort a batch of supplies to the imperial garrison stationed on Pulau Island. We can also take the opportunity to learn more about Sea God Island from them. We estimate we will stay there overnight and set off for Sea God Island the next day."
"Since we will be passing through disputed waters controlled by hostile nations, the latter half of the journey to Sea God Island will be more dangerous."
"At present, the first leg of the voyage to Pulau Island is estimated to take 32 hours."
More than a day? That long?
Fang Heng turned to glance at Meng Qingyu.
"Your Majesty? Is something wrong?"
"Nothing. The speed is a little too slow."
"There’s no helping it. Our ships lack the protection of a Sea God. To avoid attacks from sea monsters, we need to maintain a safe speed throughout the voyage."
Fang Heng said, "There is no need to worry about sea monsters. Proceed at full speed."
"If we travel at full speed, the time can be shortened to 12 hours. We can reach the island tonight."
Fang Heng shook his head and said, "Still too slow."
"Boss Fang, you may not know this."
At the side, Cao Ge heard the exchange and explained, "The Black Sea World is different from the Outer World. The faster a ship sails, the more likely it is to encounter high-level sea monsters. Even if we can deal with sea monsters, our voyage would still be delayed. If the ship is damaged during battle, it would slow us down even more."
"I see."
Fang Heng rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "So as long as we’re not sailing on the sea, we won’t have to deal with sea monsters, right?"
"Hm?"
Cao Ge and the others blinked, all momentarily stunned.
Not sailing on the sea?
Then how were they supposed to travel?
Fly there?
"I know what to do."
Fang Heng snapped his fingers.
"Leave it to me. Have the crew stop the ship for now."
Stop?
Cao Ge had no idea what Fang Heng was planning, but he trusted him completely and immediately ordered the crew to stop.
The rapidly moving ships gradually slowed and drifted with the current.
Fang Heng stood firmly on the deck and floated into the air. Then his hands quickly formed a seal in front of him.
"Skeleton summoning skill!"
In an instant, large summoning magic arrays appeared around Fang Heng.
"Roar!"
Along with deep growls and terrifying pressure, enormous Bone Dragons emerged from the magic arrays and beat their skeletal wings as they flew into the sky.
Bone Dragons!
They were Bone Dragons!
On the ships, the crew erupted into shocked exclamations once again when they saw Fang Heng summon Bone Dragons.
Compared to last time, there were even more Bone Dragons this time!
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty Bone Dragons circled high above.
Fang Heng leapt up and landed on one of the Bone Dragon’s shoulders. His hands rapidly shifted through seals in front of him.
A terrifying aura of death suddenly burst out from Fang Heng!
The black aura of death condensed into solid black death chains and shot down toward the ships below.
"Clack! Clack clack clack!!"
In only a short moment, more than twenty black death chains tightly wrapped around the ships.
"This, this is..."
Meng Qingyu swallowed and looked up at the Bone Dragons circling overhead.
He saw that the other ends of the black death chains wrapped around the ships were fixed to the Bone Dragons.
A thought suddenly rose in his mind.
Could it be...
"That should do it."
Fang Heng muttered to himself as he glanced below.
Rise!
Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
More than twenty Bone Dragons rose into the air at the same time, and the immense pulling force slowly lifted the entire ship out of the sea.
"Boom!!!"
The ship shook violently for a moment before gradually stabilizing.
Everyone looked around and saw that the entire ship was now suspended in the air, completely lifted two to three meters above the water.
Cao Ge’s heart skipped a beat as he instinctively looked at Meng Qingyu beside him.
What the hell! They had guessed right! Boss Fang really was planning to fly!
Set sail!
The Bone Dragons gradually accelerated through the air and rapidly flew forward, dragging the ships below along with them.
At once, the crew erupted in cheers.
After so many years at sea, they had never even heard of this kind of travel method!
Flying in the sky, who would believe it?
Vice Captain Howell stood in the piloting room and looked at the ship’s speed gauge, astonishment appearing in his eyes.
So fast!
Their flying speed was four to five times faster than their normal sailing speed!
If they kept up this pace, they would likely reach Pulau Island before sunset!
At the same time.
Willow’s imperial fleet set sail.
"Your Highness, it has been confirmed. Fang Heng’s Chamber of Commerce ships left the harbor half an hour ago."
Willow looked out at the calm sea in the distance and frowned. "Have we found any trace of them?"
"Not yet."
"Why?"
The lieutenant also looked toward the calm sea and gently shook his head. "My apologies, Your Highness. I do not know the reason either."
"Fang Heng’s Chamber of Commerce ships are only registered at a speed of 100. We now have divine acceleration, and our speed has already exceeded 300. Why can’t we even see their shadow?"
"Perhaps Fang Heng’s Chamber of Commerce is also using divine power?"
"Perhaps."
Willow nodded lightly.
That was probably the only explanation.
But it was strange. The god Fang Heng had obtained from the Empire did not possess the power of acceleration.
Willow vaguely felt that the matter was not so simple and said in a deep voice, "Full speed ahead. We must find Fang Heng."
"Yes!"
