Seven days passed before they knew it, and departure time was almost here.
On the coast of the Ming Dou Mountain Range, three steel behemoths lay berthed beside an Obsidian shore.
They did not blot out the sky, but they were enormous.
"So those are the Spirit Ships?"
Xiao Xiao stared at the three steel islands ahead in astonishment. Those are ships? How do they float?
Before this, nearly every ship Xiao Xiao had seen had been made of wood, sometimes with a little iron. This was her first time seeing steel vessels on such a scale.
The ship ahead was made entirely of steel, down to the metal plates joined along its edges. Could such a massive hunk of metal really stay afloat?
