"It seems to be a guild," Nanami glanced over and said.
Lu Ran roughly estimated there were about twenty to thirty people.
And they all appeared to be at high levels.
The leader among them was a slim man, with a somewhat sinister face.
His eyes were sharp and narrow, with a hooked nose, his gaze sweeping over all the professionals below the ship.
He gave a sinister smile.
Then spoke, "I am Koch, the president of the Blood Alliance. This ship was built by our Blood Alliance, as you should know."
Lu Ran turned his head and looked around.
Obviously, the local professionals around were very familiar with this Blood Alliance and this Koch.
At this moment.
Koch continued:
"This sea trip is not as dangerous as everyone imagined, so there's no need to worry."
"The destination this time is the Chaotic Domain, an undeveloped area, but the level isn't high."
"As long as we don't venture into the core of the Chaotic Domain, there won't be any problems."
"What treasures you can obtain in the Chaotic Domain by then will depend on your own fortunes."
"Our Blood Alliance will not charge any fees."
"Now, everyone begin boarding, to facilitate action, everyone should stay on the deck."
...
In fact, nothing substantial was said.
Then he began urging everyone to board the ship.
Lu Ran and his companions followed the crowd to board the ship.
From the side, they could hear the noise from the local professionals here and there:
"We've prepared for so long, finally about to board the ship!"
"First time going to sea, really exciting."
"I wonder what kind of treasures we can get on this trip?"
"Whether there are treasures or not, the premise is not to die in the Forbidden Sea."
"Don't worry, the Chaotic Domain is not far, and the level is low, what could be dangerous?"
"Exactly, although it's dangerous in the Forbidden Sea, those sea monsters don't just attack ships casually."
...
It was evident.
Some people were worried about this journey, but not many.
Lu Ran and his companions followed and boarded the ship.
They stopped at the ship's railing near the cabin, gazing at the outside sea, waiting to set sail.
More and more people boarded the ship.
But because the ship was built quite large, even with everyone on the deck, it did not feel crowded.
Qin Wuyao looked around.
Said, "Such a big ship, built so high, but many of the spaces below are not known to be used for what. Also, when we passed by earlier, the doors to the cabin were either locked or guarded by Blood Alliance members, a bit strange."
Lu Ran didn't think much of it.
"Whatever is strange has nothing to do with me, I'm here to find materials."
And at this moment.
Nanami suddenly bent over and picked up a small piece of white sticky stuff from the floor, examined it carefully in her hand, and even sniffed it under her nose.
Then her brows furrowed.
"What the heck is this? Whose snot is left here, goodness, such a big lump!" Lu Ran exclaimed aloud.
"Secretion of Dragon Horn Protozoa... how could this thing be here?" Nanami wondered.
"What is that?" Lu Ran asked.
"A low-level amphibious monster. You can extract this secretion without killing it if you capture the Dragon Horn Protozoa," Nanami explained.
"Is this stuff precious?" Lu Ran continued to ask.
Nanami, however, shook her head.
Said, "Not precious, very easy to obtain, but not of much use. When I was little, Japanese fishermen used this stuff to attract sea monsters for hunting, but later, because they found the sea monsters in the Forbidden Sea too troublesome, many fishermen died, and gradually no one used it anymore, even fishermen have gradually disappeared. I didn't expect to find it here. Such a thing, unless someone captures a Dragon Horn Protozoa alive to extract it, those low-level monsters won't secrete it by themselves."
Meaning, someone deliberately collected this stuff!
"And also on the ship, this must have leaked out, it's unsure how much there is exactly." Nanami pondered.
Lu Ran's eyes narrowed slightly.
He turned to look at the surrounding crowd.
And cheerfully said, "I thought it was just an ordinary sea trip, but it seems very interesting now."
The ship contained a large amount of Dragon Horn Protozoa secretion, which could attract sea monsters!
Normally, sea monsters wouldn't easily attack ships.
This was also the reason why the Japanese professionals sent by Nanami managed to stow away smoothly in the past.
But some got killed or injured too, after all, among the sea monsters, there were quite a few with very high aggro values.
But this trip today.
The danger was originally not very high.
But someone on the ship carried a large amount of Dragon Horn Protozoa secretion, which was very intriguing.
When the time comes, attracting a large number of sea monsters, what will happen?
"When the Dragon Horn Protozoa attracts sea monsters, and after they consume it, the sea monsters will go berserk, their attack, defense, and speed will all be greatly enhanced, but the burst phase is short, only five minutes. After five minutes, they will enter a brief weak period, maybe someone wants to go sea monster hunting, and do it massively!" Nanami analyzed.
Lu Ran naturally knew nothing about this.
But from Nanami's words, Lu Ran picked up some other implications.
"You mean this Blood Alliance went to sea to hunt sea monsters?" Lu Ran asked.
Nanami nodded.
Said, "I have this suspicion."
After saying that, her gaze swept over to two rows of closed barrels by the ship's side.
Lu Ran got the hint and moved over with Qin Wuyao and the others.
Nanami reached out to feel the barrels.
Sure enough!
Some sticky liquid seeped out from the gaps!
Nanami was shocked.
Said, "These are all Dragon Horn Protozoa secretions! So many..."
Looking over.
The large barrels filled and sealed, there were as many as seventy to eighty barrels!
Good heavens, how much must have been collected!
"This is strange, why don't they just put this stuff in their own backpacks, instead of putting it in barrels?" Lu Ran asked in surprise.
"The secretion of Dragon Horn Protozoa is measured by pieces, takes up a slot in a backpack. With so many here, without a few hundred people, it's impossible to pack them all, and that's under the premise of completely emptying everyone's backpack slots." Nanami pondered.
"What is this Blood Alliance trying to do anyway? Even if it's about hunting sea monsters, why bring so many professionals onto the ship?" Lu Ran continued to ask in confusion.
Upon hearing Lu Ran say this.
Nanami's eyes widened.
Then said, "Possibly, these professionals are for distraction."
Distraction?
"Distract what?" Lu Ran asked.
"The Dragon Horn Protozoa secretion might not only attract the specific sea monsters needed by the Blood Alliance but could also attract high-level elite or BOSS-level sea monsters. If those professionals are thrown overboard, they can distract those sea monsters," Nanami said.
Upon hearing this.
Lu Ran gasped.
Could it be that exaggerated?
This Blood Alliance, that perverse?
"It's just speculation, can't be taken seriously," Nanami shook her head and said.
"Then let's continue observing the situation," Lu Ran said.
At this moment.
A young man in Blood Alliance uniform in the distance shouted, cursing, "What are you doing? These are our Blood Alliance's supplies, stay away, get lost!"
