Wishing Everyone Wealth and Prosperity in 2019!

East of the Scorching Current Sea lay an uninhabited island.

Vazhatas, the Deep-Sea Warlord, tore into a two-foot-long fish. His sharp fangs ripped open its belly, spilling blood everywhere.

Deep-Sea Snakefolk had no habit of cooking their food, and Vazhatas would eat anything raw.

After finishing the fish, Vazhatas looked up at the sky.

A White Eagle circled beneath the dark clouds.

"I keep feeling like that eagle is watching me."

Vazhatas stood, picked up a sharpened wooden spear, hefted it, and looked up at Yi-Yi.

After judging the distance, he shook his head and lowered the spear. "Damned beast. If only you'd fly a little lower..."

Suddenly, Vazhatas saw the sea churning not far away. A mast slowly rose from the water, followed by a second, then a third...

"Is that... my flagship?!"

Vazhatas sprang up, delight flashing across his face before giving way to uncertainty.

The flagship lowered two assault boats, which cut through the waves toward the island.

The instant Vazhatas saw the figures aboard, his face darkened completely.

The Ghost Dreadnought had surfaced nearby. Bai Xiaowen and his four companions reached the island in moments and came ashore before Vazhatas.

"Lord Vazhatas, we meet again."

Bai Xiaowen waved with a smile. "I'm delighted to see you've almost recovered from your injuries."

Taking it for sarcasm, Vazhatas said darkly, "Human prophet... what happened to Staze and the others?"

Bai Xiaowen smiled. "Why ask when the answer is obvious?" He used Insight on Vazhatas and sent the results to his teammates.
