Chapter 3632: Mission
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Fang Heng’s God’s Eye in his right eye gradually dimmed.
The Lickers could not swim. In the sea, they were somewhat clumsy and unable to chase after the fast-moving ships.
Fang Heng then cast his gaze toward Ronan in the distance.
Almost simultaneously, Ronan, who was shouting orders for his crew to flee, suddenly sensed something. He instinctively looked back toward the sky and briefly met Fang Heng’s gaze in midair.
A psychic shock!
"Boom!!!"
In an instant, a terrifying sensation surged into Ronan’s mind.
His mental defenses were shattered in a moment, and he felt an extremely frightening presence chasing him from behind. He almost screamed in a shrill voice, "Hurry! What are you waiting for! Run!"
Fang Heng slowly withdrew his gaze and lightly nodded at Meng Qingyu and the others beside him.
"Let’s go. We’ll go down and take a look."
With that, Fang Heng leapt down from the spine of the Bone Dragon toward the ship below.
Meng Qingyu and the others immediately transformed into bats and followed Fang Heng downward.
On the ship, Cao Ge was still a little dazed.
He could tell that the Lickers were targeting the Skeleton Guild and had no hostility toward them.
So they were allies?
The Skeleton Guild had been driven back?
Then the Bone Dragon above was not summoned by the Skeleton Guild. Was it from their allies?
That didn’t make sense.
When had they gained such powerful allies?
Cao Ge was in a mess when he looked up and saw several figures descend from the sky, landing on the deck.
Meng Qingyu!
Good kid!
Cao Ge’s eyes lit up. His heart, which had been suspended in midair, relaxed, and he laughed out loud, running forward to embrace Meng Qingyu. "I thought it was someone else! So it’s you. Fortunately, you came in time, or our ship would have been lost here. By the way, what’s with the Bone Dragon above and the Lickers just now?"
"I’m not that powerful," Meng Qingyu said, stepping slightly aside and gesturing to Fang Heng behind him.
Cao Ge looked at Fang Heng and felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity, but could not place him at first. "And this is?"
The crew also turned to look at Fang Heng.
Many players stared at him, their faces showing surprise, as if they had guessed, but they dared not confirm immediately.
"Fang Heng."
Hearing the name, Cao Ge’s heart skipped a beat.
Fang Heng?
Could it be...?
Right! It was him!
The natives in the game world were still confused, but the players on the ship were extremely excited, all looking toward Fang Heng, Meng Qingyu, and Guo Ran.
Guo Ran understood the meaning in their gazes and nodded lightly. "Yes, it’s the one you’re thinking of—the Vampire King."
D*mn!
Cao Ge could not help cursing silently.
It was Fang Heng!
These two kids had directly brought the Vampire King here!
With this, they were guaranteed victory!
With Fang Heng here, losing was nearly impossible!
...
Over ten minutes later, inside the cabin, Fang Heng listened as Cao Ge recounted what had happened today.
In summary, Cao Ge believed that there was a spy planted by hostile forces within the fleet.
When they confirmed that Meng Qingyu and Guo Ran, the main combatants, were absent, the spy secretly sent signals to the Skeleton Guild, prompting them to attack the ship. The goal was to seize the ship and wipe out the two-year effort of Cao Ge’s team.
Excluding players, the spy must have been a native of the game world.
But the spy had not counted on Fang Heng.
Once the Lickers acted, the situation was instantly reversed, and almost none of the Skeleton Guild had escaped.
"Hehe! Brothers! Guess how much we gained this time!"
The vice captain, Howell, was extremely excited. He pushed open the meeting room door, his face full of excitement, and shouted, "Eighteen light-class ships! Plus, the materials the other ships didn’t manage to take! We made a huge profit this time!"
Hearing this, the players in the meeting room gasped, their faces filled with joy.
They had known it would be profitable, but they hadn’t expected such a huge gain!
The materials gained in a single battle far exceeded what they could collect in half a year of hard work.
Howell continued, "That’s not all. I checked; the ships suffered very little damage and need almost no repairs. They can set sail immediately!"
Fang Heng had directly controlled the Lickers to invade the ships and attack the pirates.
With the Lickers’ current level, the pirates could not withstand even one turn, so the overall damage to the ships was minimal.
After clearing the pirates, Howell and the crew could easily reclaim the ships.
With this, they not only suffered no losses but also gained eighteen ships for free.
Cao Ge said seriously, "Howell, just in time. We have decided that Mr. Fang Heng will become the new commander of our fleet."
Cao Ge directly handed over command of the fleet.
He decided without hesitation.
Their player team had struggled for two years and barely obtained a medium-class ship. Today, they had almost been ruined.
And Fang Heng?
He had appeared only a few minutes ago, and the fleet had already doubled in size.
Even a fool would know to attach themselves to him.
If they could gain favor with Fang Heng and maybe even inherit the Vampire Bloodline, it would be an enormous gain!
"Ah?"
Howell, being a native player, did not know Fang Heng’s true identity. He was surprised.
Was the commander willing to step down just like that?
Though Fang Heng was indeed powerful, stepping aside so easily seemed unusual.
Howell hesitated and bowed to Fang Heng. "Greetings, Commander. I am Vice Captain Howell."
Fang Heng returned the salute.
He had no interest in being commander; he only wanted to complete the mission as quickly as possible.
Sure enough, after accepting the command handover, the game hints immediately appeared.

Fang Heng quickly scanned the game hints.
"Low-level sea god."
Was it the statue on the bow of the Skeleton Guild ship earlier?
