Chapter 713, Nothing Will Go Wrong, Right?

*Splash splash…*

 

A ship continued moving across the river’s surface, maintaining a steady but unhurried pace, mainly because there was no wind.

 

Sailing ships were often constrained by this limitation; whenever the wind was not strong enough or there was no wind at all, their forward speed would be very slow.

 

When forward speed was not fast, they could only rely on manpower. They could use ship oars to propel the ship forward.

 

Yan Hua and the others still stood on the ship’s deck, quietly watching the ship slowly advance. This was their third day since departure.

 

“Do you know how much longer?” Sha Lan asked curiously.

 

Sha Lan blinked her blue eyes while looking at the great river, not knowing when they would reach their destination felt unbearable.

 

“I don’t know. We’ll find out when Ai’er returns.” Yan Hua lifted her head to look at the sky.

 

The butterfly girl had been away for a long time. Several hours had already passed since morning.

 

“She should be fine right? She’s been gone so long without returning.” Sha Lan played with her blue hair.

 

“I’ll have Ah Hen go and have a look.”

 

Yan Hua waved her hand and shouted loudly, “Ah Hen, come down! I have a task for you.”

 

*Screech!* Ah Hen called out once and began slowly gliding down. It had been flying in the sky all morning.

 

It quite enjoyed the sensation, the feeling of soaring freely through Heaven. When it was time to eat, it would fly into the forest to find food. Otherwise, when it spotted any wild beast poking its head above the river surface, it would suddenly swoop down.

 

After Ah Hen flew down, it perched on the ship’s railing, tilting its head while looking at Yan Hua.

 

“Fly ahead and see where Ai’er is. She left for the whole morning and there’s still no news until now.” Yan Hua instructed.

 

*Screech!* Ah Hen responded with a call, flapped its massive brown wings, and flew away from the ship, beginning to soar towards the high sky.

 

“I hope nothing’s wrong. It’s just that the previous two days she returned quickly, but today she’s so late.” Sha Lan’s heart felt somewhat heavy.

 

“She’ll definitely be fine. She’s already awakened as a Totem Warrior, and her strength isn’t to be underestimated.” Yan Hua comforted.

 

Those words might be right, but even Yan Hua lacked confidence in her heart. She only hoped to quickly see the other’s figure.

 

“Would you like to rest for a bit? I can take watch.” Long emerged from the cabin.

 

These past few days he had been staying in the cabin the whole time. It was not because he was unwilling to go onto the deck to observe the surrounding environment. It was just that every time he was about to come out, he would be refused by Yan Hua and the others, who said to just let him manage the ship’s direction.

 

“There are two advantages to us watching the ship. First, we can pay attention to our surroundings at all times, ensuring the ship won’t face any problems.” Yan Hua turned around and continued, “Second, even if some problem comes, like Ferocious Beasts, only we can deal with them.”

 

She was mainly worried about everyone’s safety on the ship. If they let Long guard the ship, and during that time a rather formidable Ferocious Beast appeared. Taking advantage of Long’s inattention, it could devour him in one bite. At that point, wouldn’t the people on the ship be unaware of the danger that was just next to them?

 

This would also put everyone on the entire ship in crisis, so the person on guard still needed to be a Totem Warrior.

 

“You’re not wrong, but these past few days it’s always been you standing guard. I feel bad about it…” Long furrowed his brow.

 

Although he was only following orders, with his main task being just to watch the ship, he still wanted to help.

 

Otherwise, every day was just eating and sleeping. The direction of the ship did not require much management either. It was just one big river after all. He only needed to ensure they did not crash into the sides.

 

“There’s no problem. We have many people here who can take turns replacing each other.” Yan Hua waved her hand.

 

Yan Hua did not want to pay him any more attention, turned around, and continued watching the ship’s forward direction.

 

From time to time, she kept lifting her head to look at the distant sky, wanting to see if she could catch sight of Ai’er’s figure.

 

Sha Lan was the same. Her pair of blue eyes opened particularly wide, afraid of missing anything.

 

She suddenly blinked her eyes vigorously, even reaching out to rub them, wanting to see clearly in the distant direction.

 

Sha Lan instantly widened her eyes, grabbing Yan Hua and shouting, “Look! Look quickly! Are those two black shadows Ai’er and Ah Hen?”

 

Sha Lan kept squinting her eyes, wanting to ensure whether she had seen incorrectly.

 

Yan Hua looked in the direction the other pointed, and indeed discovered two black shadows, one of which was particularly large.

 

She nodded with certainty and smiled, “It must be them. That large black shadow is Ah Hen, and the small black shadow must be Ai’er.”

 

*Flutter flutter…*

 

The continuous sound of flapping wings kept ringing out. Those two black shadows gradually approached from far to near, and sounds slowly became apparent.

 

One of the black shadows was indeed Ah Hen, but the other figure was not Ai’er.

 

“I’m here!” Cheng Shi waved both hands continuously while high in the sky.

 

The other black shadow was Cheng Shi. The boy wore goggles with a face full of smiles.

 

Yan Hua saw him landing and asked in confusion, “Why are you here? Where’s Ai’er? Is she alright?”

 

“Being able to see you here means we’re nearly at the Sea Fish Tribe, right?” Sha Lan asked.

 

Sha Lan was quick to come to this conclusion. She felt certain that when Ai’er was scouting ahead, she had already found the Sea Fish Tribe.

 

Possibly because she was too tired, Cheng Shi came over to inform them instead, which led to the current scene.

 

Cheng Shi nodded without hesitation and smiled, “We’ll arrive after advancing for half a day more. Ai’er is resting in the Tribe.”

 

The swift boy absolutely loved doing this sort of thing. Being able to leave the Sea Fish Tribe and come out for a flight was freeing to him.

 

“That’s good then. It’s great that she’s fine.” Yan Hua let out a long sigh of relief.

 

“If I’m not wrong, you encountered Ah Hen midway, right?” Sha Lan asked.

 

Cheng Shi looked somewhat confused, blinking his black eyes and asking. “Ah Hen? Are you talking about this big bird?”

 

Sha Lan looked at him pointing at the Peak Eagle and nodded, “Yes, Ah Hen is its name.”

 

*Screech!* Ah Hen called out loudly as if introducing itself, while its wings also began flapping.

 

“After being away for so long, it already has a name! Yeah, you’re right. I encountered it midway. I could sense that you had sent it out to find Ai’er, so I had it come along with me.” Cheng Shi nodded.

 

“Then, let’s quickly move! I really want to get onto land and rest…” Yan Hua felt quite impatient.

 

These past few days staying constantly on the ship. For Yan Hua’s active personality, without Ferocious Beasts attacking them, it was really getting boring.

 

“Let’s go!” Cheng Shi also shouted happily.
