Jin Wuxi fell, the remnant sun was like blood, and the sea of clouds composed of white mist and the sky were reflected into the appearance of burning clouds, blurring the boundary between the ocean and the sky for a while.

With the breeze caressing, Chen Cheng was packing up the spoils of war on a brig. Boxes of supplies could fill the deck, and the most striking of them was undoubtedly the huge treasure chest that was half a man tall and gilded from the captain's quarters.

"Every time I open this kind of box, I have a strange sense of anticipation." There was a rare excitement in his tone, and the unknown treasure was the most surprising.

The "click" blade slashed through the gap in the lid of the treasure chest, and the iron-sharpening horizontal knife cut through the lock inside effortlessly like a hot knife cutting through butter.

He looked at the treasure chest with a little anticipation, and slowly reached for the lid, and with a stubborn sound, the lid opened.

The first thing that catches your eye is undoubtedly the half of an irregular and finely broken silver lump, on which lay a black book and two beautifully crafted wooden boxes.

He shook his head slightly, obviously dissatisfied with the half box of silver, and quickly turned his attention to the two boxes. The wooden box is wrapped in a layer of brown-red dye, and a huge bright moon is carved on it, which is exquisite and detailed, and it looks like it is from the hand of a famous artist.

"How could such a thing be on a cloud pirate ship?" With doubts in his heart, his hand slowly pulled open one of the boxes. A flash of white light jumped out, and a palm-sized jade pendant appeared in the wooden box.

This jade is white all over, and there is a laurel tree carved under the moon. Starting with warmth, it is a rare treasure.

"Just send it to Senior Sister." Chen Cheng was overjoyed, and quickly shifted his target to the next wooden box. It was a yellowed leather scroll, and when the rope was unfastened, an ancient chart appeared in front of you.

Looking at the strange words on the chart, he couldn't help but scratch his head, he still knew a little bit about the chart, after all, he had to sail on the sea. But this text doesn't know the slang of that area, it's the same as crawling insects.

The chart was put away by him, and as for the black book, it looked like a nautical diary, so he put it away and read it slowly.

"Okay, no, I'm going home." Yiyi's crisp voice came from the sea.

"It's coming" Chen Cheng responded, picked up the treasure chest and three or five boxes of supplies, jumped down and landed steadily on the deck.

"I'll drive the boat, senior sister, you rest, you haven't slept all day." Without waiting for the senior sister to speak, he took the initiative to take over the work of driving the boat.

Yiyi didn't say anything, and went to rest in the cabin with the suitcase.

Watching his senior sister go back, he rubbed his hands excitedly, he had been coveting this small adventure ship produced by the alliance for a long time. I'm usually at the master's place, but if it weren't for this test, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to open it.

Looking at the streamlined hull, after removing the bloated mast and canvas, it is short and concise, and can reach speeds of up to 60 knots per hour with the six-type water jet.

After confirming the direction, he set up his gear, and the Adventurer sped off towards the east.

At night, the jade rabbit silver toad, the moon is thousands of miles.

The Adventurer was silently anchored in the sea of clouds, and beside it a large array of three-masted freighters swayed with the tide.

The masts had been completely broken, the remaining canvas fluttering in the air like ghost hands, the side of the ship was filled with knife marks, and there was a gap the size of a man's head. The deck was already stained red with blood, and mutilated limbs were scattered all over the hull. A sea breeze blew, and the broken hull let out a whimper, like a ghost domain.

The muffled sound of the heavy objects landing on the ground in the "Dong" cabin caused an echo and startled many seabirds perched on the mast.

Chen Cheng and his senior sister inspected the cabin one after the other, the rich fishy smell filled every corner, the blood splattered out could be seen everywhere, and the deck under their feet had become slippery, and there would be blood lines when walking.

It was only at the end that he frowned and whispered: "No survivors were found, judging from the blood on the ground, the tragedy here happened for about a day, no property was found, and there was no cargo on the freighter." ”

"Well, it looks like it's a cloud thief, and I recognize the sign on the freighter ship as a ship of the Rennes Chamber of Commerce." Yiyi gave her judgment and added the details he had missed.

"Knock" He hammered down the cabin and said fiercely: "These cloud thieves really dare, this place is not far from our [Fenyun Island], they are too rampant, aren't they afraid of being cut by the master?" ”

"It's not yet off the coast of [Fenyun Island], and Daddy won't make a move." Yiyi shook her head and explained.

"As for the rampant, that cloud thief is not rampant, since the stone tablet was dug up three hundred years ago, the sea of clouds has not stopped."

"Little guy, these are all things you have to face when you go to sea alone, they are hungry wolves that will bite you when you are weak, only strength makes them feel afraid."

Chen Cheng listened to her description of the cloud thief, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Isn't there anyone worth befriending in the cloud thief?" ”

"Perhaps, but why bother digging through gold in the garbage? I just say this to tell you, don't show weakness in front of the cloud thieves, or they will bite you hard" Yiyi replied in a gentle tone, unconcerned about his rebuttal.

In the past nine years, the two have lived together, and she can feel that this little guy's thinking is a little different from theirs, probably that he will cherish life more. But once there is a threat to him, he will not hesitate to destroy it, which is probably the decisiveness he talks about.

"This kind of tragedy is playing out in the sea of clouds all the time, we can't change this, let's become stronger, at least don't let ourselves be a member of the corpse." Let's talk about it. Yi Yi turned and walked out of the cabin, looking at the stump on the deck in a daze.

This is the last thing she can teach Chen Cheng, although this little guy has been crusading against cloud thieves with him in recent years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a tragedy. Now that she has decided to go to sea, all she can do is to throw the cruelest reality in the sea of clouds in front of the little guy. After all, in her place, the little one can say the "I'm not going" unconditionally.

After Chen Cheng turned to see Yi Yi out of the cabin, his eyes scanned the bloodstains in the dim cabin. He naturally understood what Senior Sister meant, fighting was the only main theme in the sea of clouds, and the cloud thief was the most unscrupulous one.

"This and the adventure I envisioned are like two distinct rivers in Weijing, and now my senior sister has brought the two rivers together, just hoping that I can go further and more easily." Looking at the figure standing in the moonlight, he muttered to himself.

"Boom... Boom" There was the sound of footsteps in the dark cabin as he stepped over the blood-stained deck, past the blood-stained walls, and into the moonlight. The look in his eyes has not changed, only firmness.

"Yiyi, my choice will not change."
