On the vast ocean surface, two ships were very close together, almost moving in parallel, but if one looked closely, they would realize both were actually anchored.

At this moment, the great battle on the ships had completely ceased. Whether it was the pirate ship with corpses almost covering its deck, or the burly leader who died surrounded after venturing too deep alone, all indicated that the fierce battle had come to an end.

"Fan! That fight was so thrilling just now! I shot that big guy who jumped over and blinded his left eye with one shot!"

Noticing that Wang Zhifan had returned to the deck of the Great Horn Shark, Chen Ming immediately approached him, bragging about his lucky battle achievement.

"Don't just focus on the thrill; did you gain any practical combat experience from that fight?"

Wang Zhifan was a bit speechless at this guy, so he reminded him with a word.

"Of course I did!"

Chen Ming immediately raised his voice slightly.

"And that is, I feel my shooting skills still need improvement. Especially the marksmanship trained from shooting stationary targets isn't that effective in real combat. It's easy to miss, so I need to train specifically for moving targets in the future."

His response showed he had some self-awareness.

"What about you, Ah Can? I felt you performed quite well just now... How did it feel killing for the first time? Did you find anything uncomfortable?"

Wang Zhifan then looked at the somewhat silent Chen Can beside him. This young man had killed just as many as he did in the previous battle, and could be considered a main damage dealer.

"While I was continuously shooting just now, I didn't feel anything else, only knew I had to quickly kill these enemies. But now that it's over, I feel a bit nauseous, especially with the image of those heads exploding lingering in my mind..."

It turned out Chen Can's current silence was because he was still feeling uncomfortable inside.

"It's okay; it's always like this at first. You'll get used to it after killing more... And it also has to do with the power of the weapon you're using. Other shooters just put an extra hole in the head, but from the start, you've encountered the bloodiest scenes."

Wang Zhifan nodded, consciously paying more attention to this rookie companion, helping him quickly adapt to the player identity that's inseparable from violence.

"Thank you, Fan. I've gained a lot from this dungeon, and when it's over, I'd like to invite you..."

Chen Can began to thank Wang Zhifan, but before he could finish, Wang Zhifan waved him off.

"It's too early for that; this dungeon is far from over. Focus your energy on completing the dungeon first."

He said this and then bid farewell to the two brothers, preparing to continue his training in the captain's cabin. However, a crew member hurried over at this moment to report the situation to him.

"Captain! We found plenty of fresh water and food on the Black Giant, several boxes of treasure, and three captive women, but no sign of the Sea God's blessing statue."

This crew member had gone to scout the Black Giant pirate ship they had completely seized and was now asking Wang Zhifan, the leader, what to do next.

"Without the Sea God's blessing, this ship is of no use to me... Move all the usable things over, distribute half of the treasure to everyone, release those three women, ask them for any intelligence they know, then abandon that ship. We continue heading towards the Storm Sea."

With a few words, Wang Zhifan arranged the subsequent matters. Nowadays, he no longer does everything personally, spending most of his time in training.

"Yes, Captain!"

This crew member immediately jogged off to complete the tasks, appearing very glad about his generosity. However, no one would dare to take him lightly due to his amiable demeanor, as his mystery and power displayed in the recent battle were enough to suppress everything.

While Wang Zhifan's fleet was busy, in other areas of the same ocean, other players were also striving to clear the dungeon.

In a hidden cove where pirates gathered, a tall player and his several player companions had already sneaked onto a pirate ship and began sailing toward the Storm Sea.

In a sea area not far from the starting small harbor of the dungeon, a middle-aged player who once aspired to be a leader had successfully gathered a team of six players. Over the course of nearly a month, they somehow hired a ship willing to head to the Storm Sea and similarly began their journey to clear the dungeon.

Moving faster than these players was a team led by a "laying-flat" player known for his disheveled long hair and beard. After realizing that laying flat wouldn't lead to good days, he immediately became proactive, exhibiting extraordinary strength, thus earning the respect of the teammates he saved during a pirate attack on a small town.

At this moment, they had long boarded a ship, sailing for half a month on the ocean, and would reach their destination, the Storm Sea, soon.

Meanwhile, three ordinary players were currently gathered at the ship's stern, staring at the endless waves on the sea, unsure of what they were hoping for.

"Considering the time, the boss should be back soon. I wonder if he could get some new intel today."

One female player, finding nothing unusual on the sea surface, spoke to the two players also waiting beside her.

"He definitely can! The boss is so strong, and his skills are especially suited to this environment. With more time, he'll surely find information others can't reach."

One male player answered.

"Yeah! The boss can even transform into a fish and communicate with sea creatures. If anyone is fastest at finding that Forbidden Fruit Island, it's him. We're truly lucky to have met the boss."
