Chapter 1640: Is There Sothing Wrong with the Navigation Route?
No matter what the situation was, he had to relay the ssage to them. If necessary, they would have to return to course.
He had just reached the bottom of the stairs when he saw Zhan Beiye with a Sea Area Map in hand. Their steps halted in unison.
“Prince Zhan, may I ask if our ship has strayed off course?” After a brief pause, Brother Zheen approached Zhan Beiye and asked him.
“No.”
Zhan Beiye threw two words at him and then stepped towards another cabin.
There, Su Tang was standing guard over his lord without having moved an inch. Seeing the cabin door open, Su Tang looked up at the newcor.
“Prince Zhan, is there sothing the matter?”
“Su Tang, co here.”
Zhan Beiye walked over to a small table, spread out the Sea Area Map, and pointed to the spot he had marked.
“There are Sea Demonic Beasts in that area. Go, have the boatman navigate by this line, they must not deviate at all.”
He shared everything he had discussed with An Jiuyue with Su Tang, believing that the boatn knew more about sailing than he did. As long as they followed the marks drawn on the Sea Area Map, they would certainly not encounter the Sea Demonic Beasts.
“Alright, I’m on it.”
Su Tang nodded, took the Sea Area Map, and hurried out of the cabin.
As he left, he ca across Brother Zheen who had co to check on the situation. They exchanged glances before Su Tang stepped past Brother Zheen and left directly.
Zhan Beiye also gave a few instructions to another guard in the cabin and then departed.
“Prince Zhan, this in my hand is a Beast-Seeking Stone. It emits a red light when it senses the presence of powerful demonic beasts. It’s glowing red now, which ans we are very close to the Sea Demonic Beasts, you…”
“I know.”
Brother Zheen got straight to the point without any superfluous words, and Zhan Beiye had no intention of exchanging pleasantries either.
“You needn’t worry, go back to your cabin. How the ship navigates is our concern. As for the Sea Demonic Beasts, we won’t encounter them,” he said, then lifted his foot to leave.
“Prince Zhan, wait…”
Seeing him walk by, Brother Zheen, in his urgency, reached out and grabbed Zhan Beiye’s wrist.
“Is there anything else?”
Zhan Beiye turned around to look at Brother Zheen, his gaze slowly dropping to where Brother Zheen was grasping his hand.
“Eh, sorry.”
Brother Zheen’s face reddened with embarrassnt and quickly withdrew his hand.
He had acted out of urgency, fearing that their ship might indeed venture into the habitat of the Sea Demonic Beasts. He had heard that once a ship entered the realm of the Sea Demonic Beasts, it would never return.
He definitely did not want to beco a snack for the Sea Demonic Beasts.
“I didn’t an to do that. I just wanted to ask if there is sothing wrong with this ship’s navigational route?” Brother Zheen asked him.
“There is nothing wrong with it.”
Zhan Beiye’s response was very definite, although to himself he added, they were sailing in a straight line.
However, he felt it was unnecessary to ntion this to the person before him. After all, they were not acquainted, and if it had not been for Qian Jiyun’s orders to keep them on board, he would not have bothered himself with such troubles.
Reassured by his response, Brother Zheen exhaled softly and said no more.
Even if the route was correct, it might be that the Beast-Seeking Stone was overly sensitive, and they should be far from the lair of the Sea Demonic Beasts.
But what he could not have foreseen was that the Beast-Seeking Stone was indeed very sensitive, for the red light on it had not ceased to flicker throughout their journey, flashing persistently.
