Cultivation Pet Shop

In front of them was a complete boat, but neither Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen walked onto it right away since there was something else that caught their attention.

When the boat had been finished, there was a sudden burst of golden energy that appeared around the boat, pulsating a few times before it suddenly stopped.

That also wasn\'t what caught their attention, rather it was what was behind them that caught their attention. As soon as the boat radiated golden light, there were the sounds of moans that came from behind them.

Turning around to take a look, they found that the ghosts that they had been luring around with the rat puppets had suddenly stopped to turn in the direction of the boat. Even if Brainy brought the rat puppets closer to pull them in, the ghosts just completely ignored the rat puppets.

Every single ghost that was on the dock was staring at the golden glow that surrounded the boat.

After a single moment\'s pause, all of them suddenly dashed forward and their target was the boat.

On the dock in front of the boat, Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen saw the waves of ghosts coming at them and they didn\'t hesitate at all as they turned to run at the boat.

While it was easy for them to take care of this wave of ghosts with their strengthened golden glow, it definitely wouldn\'t have been easy for them. After all, this wave was even greater than the wave of little kids that had charged at them in the courtyard at the school. They couldn\'t even count how many there were charging at them, that was just how dense this wave was.

As soon as they got onto the boat, there was another problem that they discovered.

It was that they didn\'t know how to sail this boat.

Both of them did have experience with boats before and had even sailed boats, but that was in a society that was technologically advanced.

Before transmigrating to this world, Lin Fan had been a rich second generation young master, so sailing speed boats all day was something that he had done before. But those were all modern boats that ran on electronics rather than normal wooden boats that relied on sails to sail.

It was the same with Mo Ze Chen.

As a ruins explorer, naturally he had experience with all kinds of different vehicles back when he was weaker, though now all he did was use his body or beast carriages to travel. So naturally he had experience sailing a boat as well, but since this world was also a world that had achieved a certain level of technology along with cultivating, it meant that the boats that he had used before were all electronic as well.

The two of them didn\'t have any clue on how to operate a normal wooden boat.

Still, even if they didn\'t know how to operate it, that didn\'t mean that they could just wait here for the horde of ghosts to catch them on this ship. At the very least, they had to make a last ditch effort.

Mo Ze Chen turned to face the ghosts and while he was afraid, he did put on a stance like he was about to make his last stand.

As for Lin Fan beside him, he wasn\'t ready to make that last stand just yet.

Lin Fan looked around the boat a bit until something finally caught his eyes.

With a single flick of his wrist, there was a pure white dagger that suddenly flew out across the air, aimed right at the sail that was furled up by ropes. The dagger flew right through the air and in the end, it cut right through the ropes that were holding the sail up.

The moment the ropes were cut, the sails immediately unfurled themselves and they were suddenly moving forward like there was an invisible breeze that was blowing through them. However, even though there was a breeze blowing through them, the boat still didn\'t move at all.

But that wasn\'t a problem since Lin Fan already knew why this was.

Boats don\'t naturally stay at harbour, they had to be held there by something, either being tied down or having something keep it there. Naturally, this boat also had something similar.

Before coming onto the boat, they had already untied the rope keeping it at the harbour, so the only thing left was the anchor and Lin Fan had already found the capstan on the deck.

After throwing the white dagger out, Lin Fan was already running towards the capstan and with how strong he was, it shouldn\'t have been a problem for him to push it to pull the anchor up.

However, the moment he touched the capstan, he found that he was unable to move it at all. That was until the moment the golden glow suddenly appeared around him and infused itself with the capstan. Only when the golden glow was surrounding the capstan did it finally turn to pull the anchor up.

Once the anchor was pulled up, Lin Fan didn\'t spend any time thinking about what had just happened and turned to pick it up to place on the deck.

The moment the anchor was pulled in, the boat suddenly began to move forward into the seas, but that shouldn\'t mean that they were safe just yet. After all, it was just a little bit of water that was keeping the ghosts away from him.

It was a good thing that they had set off early, otherwise the ghosts might really have caught up to them. Since they had already set off, there was a gap that appeared between the boat and the dock and with the appearance of that gap, there was a strange phenomenon that also occurred.

The moment the ghosts were about to jump off the dock, they all suddenly stopped in perfect coordination as they stared at the boat, but not a single one of them were willing to jump into the water.

It was as if there was something in the water that they wanted to avoid, so not a single one of them were willing to touch the water, even though it was only a little water that kept them away from their target.

In the end, the ghosts just stood on the dock watching the boat disappear into the sea.

After a while, the dock and ghosts had completely disappeared from Lin Fan\'s line of sight from the boat.

He hadn\'t thought that these seas would be that wide, but it was surprisingly wide enough that he couldn\'t see the docks anymore.

Still, since they had avoided the ghosts, now there was a problem of finding what they needed to find.

All around them was nothing except open seas, so there was nothing for them to do right now. After all, the only clues that they had was that there was something in the sea, but they had no idea where it was.

After sailing for a bit, Lin Fan decided to stop the boat by furling up the sails and dropping the anchor which surprisingly worked.

Of course, the strange thing about this boat was that the boat\'s speed completely depended on how much the sails were unfurled. The boat traveled at a constant speed, as if there was always wind, so the only difference was how wide the sail was and how much wind was caught by the sail.

But as for where the wind came from, that was something that neither Lin Fan or Mo Ze Chen could figure out.

They had already climbed the mast and put their hands in front of the sails, but there was no wind that could be felt at all.

Still, it didn\'t matter how the sails or the boat worked, all that mattered to them was that they worked and they could travel on these seas.

After stopping the boat, Lin Fan turned to Brainy.

Brainy was Lin Fan\'s go to pet for situations like this since Brainy really had a versatile toolkit.

Brainy didn\'t just have scout puppets that could be used on land, it also had scout puppets for the air and the water.

Lin Fan pulled out several fishes of varying species from the system\'s pet storage space and threw them all into the water.

These fishes all swam out in different directions and began searching for something, anything at all, but in the end, all they could find was an empty sea. There weren\'t even any fishes that were naturally swimming in this area, or at least fishes that they could see. Perhaps they were hiding since there were new fishes that had entered their space, but at the very least, Brainy\'s puppets weren\'t able to find them.

After searching for ten minutes, Lin Fan decided that it wouldn\'t work to only rely on Brainy\'s puppets and he should see if there was anything else they could find.

Since they had more time now, Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen began searching through the boat that they were on. They had been in such a rush to get on the boat earlier on the dock that they hadn\'t had time to search it before heading off. At the very least, there wasn\'t a single ghost that was hiding under the deck of the boat. That would have been bad since they hadn\'t had time to clear it out.

But after they finished searching the boat, they were completely stumped since all they had in front of them was the wide open seas and they didn\'t know where to go.
