However, the fierce aura on this arrow cannot be faked. The power contained in it makes the surface of the arrow glow slightly blue under the sunlight.

The sailor knew at a glance that this must be an arrow cluster that could only be condensed by an extremely experienced hill archer.

If an ordinary person encounters this kind of hill shooter, he can only wish for good luck.

But now, there are so many!

The sailor grabbed a handful of arrows, all of which were battle-hardened arrows! Not only that, there were more monster materials similar to these on the ground.

Looking at Yu Jin who was fully armored, he was filled with admiration. He sighed that only someone like Yu Jin who had integrated fighting into his bones could kill so many monsters.

"There are a lot! Do you want them all?" Yu Jin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his luck would turn around and he would meet a big client!

The sailor nodded. The only supplies missing from the Southern Cross Fleet this time were these monster materials. He had been planning to ask the big chambers of commerce, but unexpectedly he found them at a small stall, saving him a lot of time.

Without these monster materials, the elemental cannons on the Death Star would have to be silenced. Doing so in the dangerous open sea would be tantamount to seeking death.

After receiving the sailor's affirmative answer, Yu Jin happily took out a large pile of various monster materials.

"Enough, enough!" Seeing Yu Jin continuously taking out piles of monster materials from an unknown place, the sailor's understanding of Yu Jin's strength increased.

Not to mention the various tricks he had up his sleeves, just the waist-high monster material in front of him was enough to scare him.

"Please put it away first! For such a big business, it would be better for you to discuss it with our boss." Seeing more and more people gathering here, the sailor felt that this was not a place to do business.

Besides, such a big business is not something that a small sailor like him can have the final say.

"Okay, lead the way." Yu Jin immediately waved his hand and took back all the things in front of him.

"Okay, Your Excellency is a straightforward man! To be honest, I am a member of the Southern Cross Fleet. This time I came here to replenish supplies for the Death Star." The sailor led the way and told Yu Jin the legendary story of the Southern Cross Fleet.

Yu Jin nodded in agreement without saying anything. In fact, he had no idea what the Southern Cross Fleet was, and even the legends he talked about were a bit boring to him.

But in business, pleasing customers is the first priority. So Yu Jin just became an obedient person.

Liyue's port is huge compared to its city. Almost the entire seaside side of the city is used to build the port.

However, this is a necessary measure, because Liyue's shipping traffic needs to be supported by its huge port.

Among the merchant ships coming and going, the Death Star is definitely the most conspicuous one. Whether it is its huge size or the huge crossbow cannon on the hull, it shows that this warship is unique.

And its master, Beidou, is well-known to everyone in Liyue.

There is a phrase that is popular among Liyue and Inazuma: "The fins turn into the dark sea, and the tail touches the distant mountains."

The phrase describes the huge sea beast [Yuanshan] that roams between Liyue and Inazuma. It is like a fish and a dragon, huge as a nightmare, powerful as a god, and can create huge waves tens of meters high with a single blow.

Such a huge sea monster died at the hands of Beidou. What's more terrifying is that Beidou was just an ordinary person who didn't have the Eye of God at that time.

It was under this description that Yu Jin saw the owner of the Death Star - a woman with an eye patch on one eye.

[Kaia, I found your sister!] Yu Jin silently complained in his heart the first time he saw Beidou. But he was sensible enough not to say it out loud.

"Hahaha, hello!" After seeing Yujin, Beidou patted Yujin's shoulder armor generously.

Can I just say that he is worthy of being a big shot? Even the way he greets people is different.

"I heard from Xiao Zhao that you have a lot of monster materials. Take them out. We can eat them." After a simple greeting, Beidou wanted to get down to business. She is not the kind of person who procrastinates and dithers.

"Okay! Stand aside." Yu Jin looked at the curious sailor beside him and waved.

Then, in front of everyone, Yu Jin took out sacks one after another, which contained the sorted monsters.

Beidou looked at the scene in front of her and was slightly shocked. Where did Yu Jin get these things from? How did he get them? She didn't even see anything clearly just now.

"Did you produce all of this by yourself?" Beidou flipped through the sack. There were both low-level and high-level materials, and there were quite a few high-level ones.

"Of course." Facing everyone's surprised gazes, Yu Jin nodded frankly without any guilt.

What belongs to him is his, and what belongs to the black knife is also his.

"Are you interested in coming to my place?" After hearing Yu Jin's confident speech, Beidou immediately wanted to recruit him. Such a strong person is rare.

Yu Jin looked at the busy sailors on the Death Star and the crossbow arrows flashing coldly on the deck, and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

"What for? Of course, to go on an adventure in the open sea!" Beidou laughed out loud. She was very satisfied with her job.

Although the Southern Cross Fleet had other missions, they were not the main ones and it was not easy to tell outsiders about them.

"Outer Sea? The Dark Outer Sea?" Yu Jin suddenly asked. Speaking of which, Oselhai had asked him to go to the Dark Outer Sea to find his wife, but he almost forgot.

Yu Jin looked at the Lonely Cloud Pavilion in the distance, feeling a little embarrassed. If Beidou hadn't mentioned it, he might have really forgotten it.

"The dark sea beyond?" Beidou narrowed her exposed eye slightly, she could not see through the embers.

"It's close, but not really. The outer sea is just the border between the ordinary ocean and the dark outer sea. Although it's dangerous, it's just a small shallow compared to the dark outer sea."

Beidou paused, looked at Yujin and asked, "Why are you asking this? The Dark Sea is a deadly place, filled with restless elemental forces and countless evil gods."

As if she had thought of something, Beidou shuddered. She spoke as if to warn Yujin or to remind herself:

"You can't go beyond the dark sea. No one can survive there."

"Really? Then you take these materials, and I will follow you to the open sea. After that, I will swim by myself."

Yu Jin said without changing his expression.

Chapter 81 Adventurer, Embers

2023-08-28

Two days later.

"No? Are you really planning to run away to the Dark Sea?!" Beidou looked at the embers in front of him, feeling a little bit unbelievable.

Is suicide so particular these days? Instead of finding a good place to jump, you go all the way to the dark sea?

"Really? I have to go because someone asked me to do that." Yu Jin nodded, not joking at all.

"Take it, take it. This money is the payment for your materials. It's enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life!" Beidou didn't listen anymore. She took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed it into Yujin's arms.

This is a voucher from a bank in Liyue, which can be exchanged for Mora.

Ember looked down and saw that there were a lot of them, but of little use to him.

He pulled out a few and handed the rest back.

"Hire you, take me to the dark sea."

Beidou didn't even drink her own wine this time. She looked at the ticket in Yu Jin's hand, then exhaled and said helplessly: "Forget it, I won't stop you from dying."

Then she snatched the ticket from Yu Jin's hand and hurried back to the depths of the Death Star.

Are you kidding? In order to take the monster materials from Yu Jin, she borrowed money from Ningguang.

If the overall quality of the monster materials in Yu Jin's hands was not much higher than those on the market, she would not have gritted her teeth and taken away such a large amount of monster materials.

For the next while, the elemental cannons on the Death Star could be bombarded to the point of overload.

The price was only to bring the embers to the edge of the Dark Sea. In front of the powerful Death Star, this was still possible.

Because of the embers, the departure time of the Death Star was extended to the afternoon. However, the crew had no objection, because in her long sailing career, Beidou had won everyone's trust with her behavior.

Following Beidou's loud call, the two-wheeled boat at the stern of the Death Star began to turn, and the huge oars on both sides also began to shake.

After the warm-up was completed, there was a sound of interlaced iron chains. The anchor deep in the seabed was lifted, the sea breeze filled the sails, and the Death Star set sail!

Standing on the deck, Yu Jin was a little excited, as this was his first time on a boat.

The originally calm sea surface was covered with white waves due to the arrival of the Death Star. Yu Jin felt like yawning after just looking at it for a while.

The Death Star was stable, but its speed was much slower than his. Even the huge waves were not as high as those he splashed when swimming.

However, this feeling of security changed after the Death Star passed through the Yunlai Sea and arrived at the sea outside the Solitary Cloud Pavilion.

With Guyun Pavilion as the boundary, the seas on both sides became completely different. The Yunlai Sea within Guyun Pavilion was clear and calm, while the sea outside Guyun Pavilion was covered with dark clouds and rough waves, as if a thunderstorm would come at any time.

There are even fewer ships here. Generally speaking, Teyvat's multinational merchant ships prefer to sail along the continental coast, which makes it easier to resupply and has a higher safety factor.

But there are always exceptions, such as the Death Star and other ships in this sea area. But the same thing is that all the ships that come to the open sea are equipped with a large number of weapons.

This is very necessary. Not to mention the possible pirates in the open sea, even some huge sea monsters are beyond human control.

As for the dark sea farther away, it seems that no one in the history of Teyvat has ever been able to return alive.

Because the things wandering in the open sea have transformed from sea monsters into evil gods! After being tempered by the dark sea, they may not have much rationality, but they are definitely more dangerous than when they were demon gods.

“Boom!” A bolt of lightning descended from the dark sky. A huge flash of light illuminated the heaven and earth, but soon the light was swallowed up by the endless sea and sky.

All the light cannot last long in this sea.

"Brothers! Cheer up!" Beidou looked at the dark clouds that seemed to have no end and took a gulp of wine. He had to concentrate from now on.

Even after overcoming countless storms, Beidou dared not relax on the open sea. There were always more terrifying things in this sea than she could imagine.

It is possible that your so-called relaxation is just an illusion imposed by them. When you really get rid of your fatigue, that will be the day of your death.

"Understood!" The sailors shouted, and a loud roar rang out on the Death Star. Even the darkness did not seem so scary.

"Crash!" This time the surging waves finally surpassed Yujin. The sea surface rolled like a swaying roller curtain and touched the hull of the Death Star. The huge waves instantly came towards him, soaking Yujin all over.

Large amounts of sea water poured into the hull of the Death Star, but someone immediately reacted and gathered the sea water into a special water storage cabin.

It is impossible to pour out sea water directly in the open sea as usual. There is only one outcome of doing so, and that is that the person pouring the water will become a part of the sea just like the water he poured out.

Therefore, a large part of the space on ships sailing on the open sea is reserved for storing water, the seawater brought by huge waves.

When it's almost time, we can use the air compressor imported from Fontaine to compress the gas and force the seawater out of the cabin.

"The chassis is good." Beidou jumped down from the dragon head on the bow and came to Yujin and said.

The huge wave just now hit Yujin as if it hit a reef, and it didn't shake him at all.

"Haha, I've been practicing for a long time." Yu Jin stared at the bottom of the sea and laughed a few times.

"We were lucky this time. We didn't encounter anything and the journey was much faster." Beidou said with some joy as he looked at the undulating sea beside Yujin.

This was the first time for me to have such an experience. The fastest-changing items on the Death Star were not the fresh water or the crew, but the ship's elemental cannons and crossbow parts.

Every time you go in and out of the open sea, fighting is the main theme. But the harvest is also excellent. The sea monsters that grow up in the open sea are full of treasures. In Liyue, where wealthy merchants gather, there is no problem selling them.

"Really? It seems that good luck will also come to the Big Dipper, which symbolizes death." Yu Jin looked at the railing of the deck and raised his head to look at the sky covered with dark clouds.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that a tin can like you could talk so well!" Beidou couldn't help laughing when she heard Yujin's words. She didn't expect that she, who was once regarded as a unlucky star, would one day be praised for her good luck.

"I've always been very sweet-talking." Yu Jin responded directly. He was best at saying nice things.
