Under his command, the Fatui left the boat and Bai Luo where they were and left at full speed.
As for Bai Luo
In the sunlight, his dark figure was gradually replaced by red.
And the reverse-edged knife with a very personal style also appeared in his hand.
After carefully folding his red kimono, Bai Luo lay down in the boat and pulled up the straw mat beside him to cover himself.
He just needed some sleep.
"Still thinking about Umijima?" Volcano Literature
Looking at Kaedehara Manye who was lying on the railing with a lot on her mind, Beidou walked up and asked.
As the person who took the initiative to investigate the situation on Kaigi Island, she knew very well what was happening there.
The Fatui's influence on Umi Island is no longer just simple cooperation.
Some people have been influenced by the Fatui and feel that it is an honor to be a member of the Fatui.
Although Kaedehara Manye is not from Kaigi Island, she has some close friends on Kaigi Island.
He felt bad when he saw them being "bullied" by the Fatui.
But what he was most worried about was Battousai.
Because he knew that after the Fatui and Umijima "cooperated", there would be no place for him in the entire Inazuma.
There seems to be only one path before him, and that is to become a "monster" in the eyes of others like those sea monsters.
However, according to the residents of Umigi Island, Battousai seemed to have left Umigi Island alone in a small boat, and where he is now... ...is still an unknown.
"The sea will protect those who are brave enough to ride the waves, just like I saved you."
After handing the sunset fruit in his hand to Wanye, Beidou patted him on the shoulder and said nothing more, but just increased the speed of the fleet a lot.
She wanted to bring this news back as soon as possible.
Whether in business or on the battlefield, one wrong move can lead to a complete loss.
The Fatui of Haiqi Island are very likely to disrupt Ningguang's plan.
Fengyuan Manye was the only one left. He looked at the sunset fruit in his hand and didn't say anything.
With a crunchy bite, the sweet taste fills every corner of your mouth.
But at this moment, he wished that it tasted sour.
after all
"Um?"
After sniffing the smell in the wind, Wan Ye was stunned for a moment.
He was very familiar with this smell; it was the smell of the thunder of heavenly punishment from General Thunder.
But this place is already far away from Inazuma and is about to reach the territory of Liyue. How could there be the smell of heavenly punishment thunder
The most important thing is... there is also a trace of the breath of Haiji Island in this thunder of heavenly punishment.
"Big Sister! Big Sister Beidou!"
Wan Ye realized something, dropped the sunset fruit in his hand, and ran towards the cabin.
Not long after, the fleet, which had been relatively quiet, became noisy again.
"You mean, there's a ship from Inazuma ahead?"
This is the first time that Bokuto questions Manye's words.
It’s not that she didn’t trust the other party. The thunderstorm outside Inazuma was witnessed by everyone.
Even for their ship, it was not easy to get through those thunderstorms, let alone other ships
And according to Manye, the ship that came from Inazuma was a small boat.
"No, I'm too familiar with Inazuma. There must be a ship ahead, and..."
Manye didn't say the next words.
Because he could sense that there was no human scent in the wind.
And there seems to be a breath of the Fatui that has not yet completely dissipated.
In other words... ... if there were people on that ship, they would be in great danger now.
"Sea Dragon!"
"Big sister! I'm here!"
"Speed up and move in the direction Manye said!"
"learn!"
The sea breeze blew the sails up, and all the members of the Southern Cross fleet sailed towards the front at the fastest speed.
Not long after, a small boat that could be said to be a lifeboat compared to the Death Star appeared in everyone's sight.
From afar, the small boat was covered with traces of being ravaged by thunderstorms. It swayed back and forth in the waves, and seemed like it would capsize at any time, but it managed to stabilize itself dangerously every time.
Judging from the traces of waves on the hull, it must have been sailing on the sea for a long time.
"Come closer!"
Looking from a distance, there was no sign of anyone on the boat, only the slightly raised straw mat could be seen.
Even though they knew that the people on the ship were very likely to have died during the journey, those who were wandering on the seas would never give up on anyone who had a chance of surviving.
But when the Death Star gradually approached the small boat, the faces of the people standing in the front changed at the same time.
Because the other person's red clothes exposed outside the straw mat were too eye-catching and too easy to recognize.
"Is it Battousai?!"
Chapter 523: Battousai is still alive
"Be careful, go down slowly."
The Death Star stopped at a safe distance, and the combat team led by Beidou rowed the lifeboat and gradually approached the dilapidated boat.
According to their observations, the person on this small boat was most likely Battousai who had left Umijima alone before, but there were endless possibilities on the sea, so in order to ensure safety, they had to be on guard.
Those who were not careful had already become food for the sea beasts.
Manye was the first to board the ship.
He lifted the tattered straw mat and saw Battousai, whose clothes were neatly folded, his hands on his abdomen, and his face was very pale.
The current Battousai doesn't look like a living person at all. Instead, he looks like a corpse that was buried in the sea after death.
While he was carefully checking whether Battousai was still alive, Hokuto broke off a barnacle from the boat.
Judging from the number of barnacles, the boat must have been drifting at sea for some time.
It's unbelievable that someone could actually leave the isolated country of Inazuma in a small boat.
"Big sister, he's still alive! Battousai is still alive!"
Manye's voice trembled as he carefully picked up his water bottle and dripped some fresh water onto Battousai's chapped lips.
And it was not only him who was trembling, but also Bai Luo in his arms.
Damn, even with a straw mat as a shelter, not everyone can stand being exposed to the sea sun for an hour.
If the Southern Cross fleet didn't arrive, Bai Luo was going to jump into the sea to take a bath.
"Take him aboard first."
Beidou gave the order, dropping the barnacle in his hand.
She saw Manye's feelings for Battousai.
If it weren't for Battousai's intervention, Manye would have probably died at the hands of General Raiden.
In a sense, after the death of his best friend, Battousai has become a new spiritual pillar in his mind.
Beidou didn't find it strange that he, who was usually calm, would react like this.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, Battousai was finally rescued.
As for that boat
According to the first mate, it was almost a miracle that it could float here, and there was no need to repair it.
Eventually, with Beidou's consent, it was abandoned.
It was still the room where Battousai once lived. Except for Hokuto, Manyo, and the ship's doctor, everyone else was stopped outside.
Even so, people from other ships kept crowding onto the Death Star.
These people have heard the people on the Death Star boast more than once that Battousai cut off Ba Che's head.
Who is Ba Che
Osel's wife, a remnant of the vortex.
We all grew up listening to the story of the Emperor's battle against Osel. No matter how weak his wife is, she should at least have the strength of an immortal, right
Even so, the man nicknamed Battousai chopped off a head with a sword and a boat.
Apart from that, the stories about beheading General Lei Dian and severely wounding the Fatui Executor were all stories that even bards and storytellers would not dare to make up.
If the previous stories were all hearsay, then the fact that he alone broke through General Lei Dian's thunderstorm and arrived in the waters of Liyue was enough to make them dumbfounded.
After all, when they were in the Southern Cross Fleet, they had witnessed the thunderstorm with their own eyes.
Just listening to the sound of the thunder, many people hid in the cabin and dared not show their heads.
It was incredible that he managed to get through the thunderstorm in a small boat like that.
Some people say that only dead people can become legends.
Battousai is an exception, he is a living legend.
"It's just some simple dehydration, no other symptoms."
When saying this, the ship's doctor Miss Ginkgo also found it a little unbelievable.
In her opinion, no one would survive in that situation.
But Battousai not only survived, but was also very healthy.
"Don't treat him as an ordinary person."
Beidou, who was half leaning against the door, did not feel strange after hearing Ginkgo's judgment.
At the beginning, this man asked me for a piece of clothing, two swords, and a few sunset fruits, and then he dared to go to An Ba Che alone.
When I came back, it was just like now, with only the collar of my clothes slightly wet, nothing serious.
Perhaps his strength is like that of Kunwu, the famous craftsman in the Liyue legend. He has already ascended to heaven and achieved the body of an immortal.
"I never expected to meet Mr. Battousai here."
After helping Ginkgo put away the medicine box, Man Ye sighed out loud.
Perhaps, just as the Big Sister Beidou said, the sea will protect those who dare to ride the wind and waves.
For a remarkable man like Mr. Battousai, perhaps even the gods wouldn't want him to die like this
After confirming that Battousai was not seriously injured, Manye and Beidou left the place with peace of mind.
He knew that what Battousai needed most right now was rest.
It was not until late in the evening that Battousai woke up slowly.
The first thing he did when he woke up
"Another bowl, please."
Looking at the bowls piled up in front of him, even Man Ye, who had seen how big his appetite was, couldn't help swallowing.
How long has this person been hungry
"I'm sorry, I've been wandering for several months, drinking only rainwater and eating raw fish every day. I haven't eaten rice for a long time."
