Fang Yu led the ship and quickly left the East Ring Sea Region.

He found a small island outside the East Ring Sea Region on the sea chart and temporarily docked there.

By the time they arrived on the island called Xia Island, it was already getting dark. Fang Yu noticed that there were quite a few Blue Star Captain's ships docked on the island.

They were anchoring on the island to rest.

There were even small merchants who had arrived in advance on the island, selling items everywhere.

On this isolated island, a temporary commercial zone had formed, where everyone was exchanging goods and even trading legacy fragments.

"Fang Yu!"

A voice filled with surprise came from the island. A young man was grinning at Fang Yu and others as they docked.

It was Shi Jun.

Seeing Shi Jun at this moment, Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

This guy had also come to this sea area to execute a mission for the Alchemist Association.

But...

"Shi Jun, aren't you the grinding king? How could you miss such a good mission opportunity without staying up all night?"

Fang Yu joked with a smile. He had chatted with Shi Jun a few days ago and knew that Shi Jun had been very diligent, constantly in a state of intense grinding, aiming to climb the battle rankings as a ship captain.

After hearing Fang Yu's words, Shi Jun chuckled, then shook his head: "I was planning to continue grinding, but in the evening, I suddenly sensed something off with the aura of these Meat Mountains. So, I quickly led the crew to leave the East Ring Sea Region. After resting for the night, I'll return tomorrow morning to check it out."

"Did you also sense something was wrong?"

Fang Yu's expression shifted, his gaze landing on Shi Jun.

He saw Shi Jun nod slightly, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes: "I learned a certain extraordinary ability related to premonitions of fortune and misfortune, and at that moment, I indeed sensed something was off. I wasn't the only one; everyone who came to rest on this island felt the same."

"It makes sense. The alchemist who escaped from the Sin Domain is not simple. How could he leave several Meat Mountains here just to give us free experience?"

"There must be another purpose for the existence of these Meat Mountains."

Fang Yu nodded, his gaze sweeping over the other ships on the island.

Being able to realize this and stop in time showed the captains were no ordinary elite captains.

Many captains couldn't possibly ignore the eerie atmosphere and the aura of the Meat Mountains as night fell, but still chose to stay in that sea region.

This was due to greed and luck. In the face of a lot of experience, they even thought it might be an illusion of their own, thus continuing to linger in that sea region.

"I'm planning to shout out on the forum. Whether or not these people listen is their problem."

Shi Jun spoke earnestly, ever the righteous captain.

Without further ado, Shi Jun immersed himself in the forum and posted a warning.

"The East Ring Sea Region at night might not be safe. Captains still in the East Ring Sea Region, if you see this, leave as soon as possible."

Once the post was published, it naturally attracted a lot of traffic.

However, Shi Jun obviously underestimated human greed.

Not only did his post not garner gratitude, but it was also constantly ridiculed by captains still in the East Ring Sea Region.

Feeling a bit deflated, Shi Jun withdrew from the forum, a slight bitter smile on his face, shaking his head helplessly.

Fang Yu was about to speak when he seemed to sense something, abruptly turning his gaze to a spot not far away.

There, a figure was faintly casting its gaze upon him.

When his gaze met it, the figure quickly dove into the bustling commercial zone and soon disappeared.

Witnessing this scene, Fang Yu squinted slightly, a trace of vigilance flashing deep in his eyes.

"What's wrong, Fang Yu?"

Beside him, Shi Jun looked at Fang Yu puzzledly, following his gaze with a confused expression.

"It's nothing."

Fang Yu shook his head with a smile, then patted Shi Jun on the shoulder: "Alright, you should go rest. You've been grinding intensively for a while now. Look at how deep your dark circles have become."

Shi Jun chuckled, nodded, and without forcing himself, climbed back onto his ship to rest.

Fang Yu, on the other hand, took a careful look at the commercial zone. It was crowded, and the figure that had been silently observing him was nowhere to be found.

Fang Yu shook his head and returned to his ship.

"Something's off..."

Back in the captain's cabin, Fang Yu muttered to himself.

Ever since setting out to sea, someone had been watching him. And just now, that gaze had a strong purpose, clearly not a casual glance.

Given Fang Yu's constantly honed perception abilities, he wouldn't mistake it.

Someone was watching, observing him.

Had he been targeted?

A trace of vigilance appeared in Fang Yu's eyes.

Who was targeting him? And for what reason?

The person watching him was undoubtedly a Blue Star Captain. If it was a Blue Star Captain, then it couldn't be the native forces of this world.

It could only be the conglomerates...
