In the early hours, Ye Wudao and Sun Xiaoyuan appeared on a small fishing boat, which belonged to a local smuggler designed specifically for human smuggling. Ye Wudao now needed to take this smuggler's boat to evade the official search, then reach the open sea. Once on the open sea, there would be a larger ship waiting to take them back to Hua Country.
This route had been meticulously calculated as the quickest among all available options. Taking the water route would allow them to avoid enemy assassinations to the greatest extent. Of course, the danger was correspondingly greater; after all, the water was not as safe as land.
The smuggler was a short and frail middle-aged man, nicknamed Water Hydra. Although his face was smiling, the ferocity in his eyes could not escape Ye Wudao's notice.
