The entire second floor, ruined by the explosion, had fallen into dead silence. The walls, scorched by the fierce fire, were pitch black, and at a certain angle, moonlight refracted layers of bloodstains.
Pei Jinye and the middle-aged captain exchanged a glance.
"All quiet now?" the middle-aged captain whispered, swiftly changing a magazine.
Pei Jinye looked up and scanned around. The Shadow Sickle Beast had vanished without a trace. He likewise lowered his voice, "Is there really flammable ice on this ship?"
The middle-aged captain knitted his brows, "You noticed it too?"
Pei Jinye nodded.
If there really was flammable ice, an exchange of fire like this could destroy the entire vessel.
But now, despite all the explosions, not a trace of flammable ice could be seen.
And...
What exactly was hidden beneath the deck?
...
"Retreat first!"
The middle-aged captain commanded with an assertive voice.
Pei Jinye nodded.
Suddenly, a roar came from the deck.
