Several days earlier.
Zhou Dai had organized a fourteen-person team to take on the island.
They had prepared thoroughly and purchased plenty of equipment.
Zhou Dai, in particular, had spent a fortune on a revolver that could suppress regeneration-the White Rose-specifically to counter the Werewolf's ability to heal itself.
The others had also purchased weapons and armor suited to their needs.
Those carrying shields and wearing plate armor or Chainmail were responsible for drawing and blocking the Werewolf's attacks.
The others would attack the Werewolf from a distance with repeating crossbows and bows.
If the Werewolf unfortunately managed to close in, there were also warriors responsible for close combat.
In short, they were well prepared.
And the reason they were willing to work together to take on this island was that they had accepted a shared quest.
It was a quest tempting enough to make people risk their lives.
Its name was-the Oath Prerequisite Quest!
Zhou Dai had been the first to receive this quest, from a special undead.
This undead had climbed up the hull of the Radiant Goddess Ship on his own.
Like a pilgrim, he had ignored Zhou Dai, rushed into the Goddess Ship's prayer room, and knelt in prayer.
Then the undead had burst into flames amid the radiance emanating from the Radiant Goddess, leaving behind only a little ash and a letter sealed in a bottle.
Zhou Dai had taken out the letter and opened it.
