Slave Ship

Before long, the two reached the shore and found that group's ship.

At this point, Carmen finally stopped complaining, making Yun Zhinnan, who had been driven nearly mad by her nagging, breathe a slight sigh of relief.

After Yun Zhinnan led Carmen to hide some distance away from the ship, he finally had time to properly examine the vessel before them.

The ship was twice the size of theirs, even larger than the merchant ship they had traveled on before.

A few sailors were walking about on deck, though there were not many. Yun Zhinnan estimated that he could handle them all by himself.

"Wait here. I'll go take a look aboard," Yun Zhinnan said, turning to Carmen.

Without waiting for her reply, he darted toward the ship. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the deck.

"Hmph! You're all jerks like that, looking down on me because I'm too weak. I'm never cooking for you again," Carmen grumbled as she watched Yun Zhinnan disappear.

If Locke had been there, he would definitely have been deeply embarrassed.

Once aboard, Yun Zhinnan wasted no words. Since he knew the people on this ship were no good, he unleashed his speed and swiftly dealt with the sailors on deck.

"So weak, yet you dare become human traffickers. You really don't know how the word death is written," Yun Zhinnan said as he headed toward the cabin.

However, the moment he opened the cabin door, something tore through the air from within. Yun Zhinnan had no time to react and could only instinctively raise his arm to block the attack.

Bang! Yun Zhinnan was sent flying and crashed onto the deck.

"Where did this brat come from? How dare you cause trouble aboard Captain Sis's slave ship? Tired of living?" Yun Zhinnan slowly rose and looked toward where he had been standing. There stood a burly man, bare-chested and wearing gray shorts.

The burly man stood over three meters tall. Even Yun Zhinnan, who was two meters tall, looked small before him. With arms as thick as Yun Zhinnan's waist, he clearly was not someone to be trifled with.

"Who are you?" Yun Zhinnan asked after getting to his feet.

"I'm this ship's first mate, Ham. Brat, state your purpose, or I won't go easy on you," the burly man threatened.

"So that means you're a bad guy too?"

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! That's right, I'm a bad guy."

"Then there's no helping it. I can only make you lie down with your brothers." With that, Yun Zhinnan kicked at Ham.

Yun Zhinnan was indeed fast. Before the burly man could react at all, the kick had already struck him.

"Get lost!" The burly man's muscles bulged, directly bouncing Yun Zhinnan away.

"Your speed is decent, but your attacks are a little too weak," Ham said, patting himself.

Yun Zhinnan flipped through the air and landed steadily on the ground. The moment he landed, he said nothing and charged Ham again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sounds of Yun Zhinnan's kicks striking the burly man's body rang continuously through the air.

When Yun Zhinnan landed another kick on the burly man, Ham, who had been standing there without moving, suddenly reached out and caught one of Yun Zhinnan's legs as he withdrew. Then he slammed him straight into the deck.

With a bang, Yun Zhinnan crashed into the deck. The force of the impact sent wooden splinters flying and dust billowing into the air.

When the dust settled, Yun Zhinnan had already risen to his feet. However, the blood at the corner of his mouth showed that he had suffered greatly in this exchange.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Brat, you can't even break through my defense, yet you want to defeat me? Dream on!" Ham said arrogantly as he looked at the battered Yun Zhinnan.

"Hmph!" Yun Zhinnan merely snorted and continued attacking Ham.

Bang! Bang! Bang... The sounds of impact echoed across the ship.

Yun Zhinnan kept attacking Ham, but whenever he carelessly exposed an opening, Ham would seize it and retaliate fiercely.

Bang! After sending Yun Zhinnan flying once more, Ham said, "Alright, brat. The game is over."

Yun Zhinnan was now covered in injuries. Even standing up was difficult, yet he still slowly rose while coughing up blood.

"Yes, it's time to end this." This time, after getting up, Yun Zhinnan did not immediately charge forward as he had before. Instead, he echoed Ham's words.

"Hmph! Brat, you can barely even stand, yet you're still acting tough!"

"Let me send you straight to hell!"

Heavy Punch!

Ham, who had been standing still, raised his fist and charged toward Yun Zhinnan.

Yun Zhinnan did not move as he watched Ham rush toward him.

"One, two, three, fall," Yun Zhinnan said.

The moment Yun Zhinnan finished speaking, Ham, who had been charging forward perfectly fine, suddenly collapsed. As he fell, blood continuously spewed from his mouth, mixed with fragments of internal organs.

After he fell, blood began flowing from even his eyes and nose.

"When... did you..." Ham asked with difficulty.

"Have you heard of Mountain-Penetrating Strike? When I attacked you for the first time, I realized that my strength alone probably couldn't hurt you. But you were too arrogant. You actually stood there and let me attack you for so long, so I used subtle force to strike directly at your internal organs. By then, your organs were already on the verge of breaking apart. Then, with your intense movement just now, your already overloaded organs shattered completely." Whether Yun Zhinnan was showing off or wanted Ham to die knowing why, he actually leaned against the nearby railing and explained it all to him. After finishing, he coughed up several more mouthfuls of blood.

"So... that's how it is..." After speaking his final words in this world, Ham stopped breathing.

After looking at Ham's lifeless body, Yun Zhinnan rested for a while before getting up and walking into the cabin.

Locke blended into the crowd and slowly advanced toward where the treasure was located.

Along the way, he carefully concealed himself. Even when someone tried to chat with him, he only said that he had caught a cold and could not speak.

Not long after following them, led by the three people ahead, the group arrived at the center of the small island. Within roughly thirty meters of the area, there were no graves. Only a massive earthen mound stood in the very center, with a small cave opening in front of it. There was nothing else.

"We're here! This is the place," the three people in front said.
