The journey continued in silence as the ship sailed normally. Lin Anlan seemed rather uninterested, and Su Yang's attempts to chat with her were sporadic. She was either playing with the spirit beasts or lying on the bed in a daze. Su Yang, feeling bored himself, simply closed his eyes to rest.

Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the room. The two sat up in bed at the same time, listened carefully for a while, and then looked at each other, realizing that something had happened outside, and it was very likely a ferocious beast attack. They got out of bed and went out one after the other. When they got to the deck, they saw that the deck was in chaos, with people running around and huge fish-shaped beasts following behind them. The fish-shaped beasts had no wings, but they could fly in the air. If they didn't bite anyone, they would return to the sea from the other side of the ship and then rush out of the sea to continue attacking.

Lin Anlan immediately recognized them as a pack of sea wolves—the Water Wind Beasts. "These are Water Wind Beasts, A-rank ferocious beasts. They possess both water and air elemental abilities and usually act in packs, so be careful," Lin Anlan warned Su Yang.

Su Yang nodded, but then asked, puzzled, "Since it can control two elements at the same time, shouldn't it be an S-class ferocious beast?"

"It's not very big, and its individual strength isn't that great either. It also acts in groups, which is why it's rated A. If each of them were exceptionally strong, even S-class ferocious beasts might not be able to defeat it."

"Oh, I see."

By this time, many civilians on the deck had been bitten by the water-wind beasts and were being dragged into the sea. Once dragged into the sea, they would likely not survive. Seeing that people were in distress, Su Yang wanted to go up and rescue them, but some people had already rushed forward. These were the people who were preparing to take turns driving the ship. Although their elemental level was only two or three, they still used their elemental power to try to rescue people. However, precisely because their power was too weak, their actions were tantamount to a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Several people who went forward to help ended up in trouble themselves.

Seeing that the people who went to rescue them were about to perish themselves, Su Yang couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to take action. But he was stopped by Lin Anlan. Lin Anlan waved her hand and said, "I'll go." Then she activated her fire elemental power, picked up her bow and arrow, aimed and fired. She quickly killed several water-wind beasts and rescued the people.

Shen Yao and his group stood in the shadows observing. Naturally, the three of them couldn't intervene and simply watched everything that happened on the deck. When they saw Lin Anlan make a move, Peng Shaoshi's eyes lit up, and he teased Shen Yao and Jiang Ao beside him, "This girl is pretty good. She looks like she's at least a sixth-level elementalist."

"If she takes action, there shouldn't be any problems." Jiang Ao nodded.

"I'm afraid the number of Water-Wind Beasts will far exceed expectations," Shen Yao said nonchalantly.

"Captain, after I finish reporting back this time, can you give me a few days off? I've been traveling back and forth a lot lately, I need to rest." Peng Shaoshi leaned over and asked Shen Yao.

Shen Yao smiled slightly: "I know what you want to do, it's approved."

With Shen Yao's permission, Peng Shaoshi grinned and said, "Thank you, Captain!"

Lin Anlan kept killing the Water Wind Beasts on the deck, but he felt that the number of Water Wind Beasts was not decreasing. There were already many Water Wind Beast corpses on the deck, but Water Wind Beasts were still leaping out of the sea from both sides of the ship. It seemed that Shen Yao was right. The number of Water Wind Beasts was much larger than that of ordinary groups.

Because there were still ordinary people on the deck, and the Water Wind Beasts were relatively scattered, Lin Anlan dared not use any powerful moves. He could only attack one arrow at a time. Gradually, Lin Anlan's arrows ran out, and he had no choice but to draw his longsword and prepare for close combat. Although Lin Anlan was skilled in archery, he was not very proficient in melee weapons. He could handle one or two Water Wind Beasts, but he was overwhelmed by the number of them and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. He was almost bitten several times.

Seeing Lin Anlan in several perilous situations, Su Yang worried that she would be hurt again. In Su Yang's memory, apart from the peaceful days at Luoyin Farm, Lin Anlan had always been injured. He could no longer remain indifferent and rushed to Lin Anlan's side. Just then, a Water Wind Beast launched a sneak attack from Lin Anlan's blind spot. Just as it was about to succeed, it was repelled by an invisible force. Su Yang was already behind Lin Anlan, protecting her blind spot. His permanent skill, Flowing Cloud Barrier, blocked the sneak attack.

Sensing the presence behind her, Lin Anlan felt a surge of security. Without turning around, she could tell that Su Yang was behind her. Su Yang conjured a long sword and fought alongside Lin Anlan. Lin Anlan rescued people, while Su Yang provided cover for her. Gradually, everyone on the deck was rescued and brought to safety in the cabin. Only then did Su Yang feel at ease and prepare to finish off the remaining water-wind beasts in one go.

"Anlan, you go back to the cabin first, I'll take care of the rest."

Lin Anlan didn't try to be brave, but whispered a word of advice: "Be careful." Then she retreated to the cabin entrance to watch Su Yang's battle.

Shen Yao and the other two also noticed Su Yang, so they focused their attention on him and carefully observed his every move.

At this moment, Su Yang walked to the middle of the deck and activated the cloud element and the air element in succession. However, the amount of air element activated was not much. After condensing many weapons in the air, he injected a little air element to control the direction. Then he commanded all the weapons transformed by the cloud element to fly up and down on the deck. As long as a water-wind beast was locked on, it would die. Using this method, the water-wind beasts that had jumped onto the deck could not escape their fate of death.

"This trick works well, just like automatic tracking, except I need to control it manually. It would be great if it could be combined with my permanent cloud radar. The science of the original world is still superior, hahaha, I'll try it next time." Seeing that all the water-wind beasts on the deck were dead and no other water-wind beasts flew onto the deck, Su Yang sighed inwardly.

Seeing that all the water-wind beasts had retreated, Shen Yao frowned. Jiang Ao, seeing this, said, "This person does have some skills."

"What brush? It's just using cloud elements to condense weapons. Anyone can do that," Peng Shaoshi said dismissively.

"Young man, didn't you say you wanted a vacation? Now I'm giving you a new task," Shen Yao said grimly.

"No, Captain, what, another new mission?" Peng Shaoshi was a little displeased and quickly refused, but seeing Shen Yao's gloomy expression, he quickly changed his words: "I understand, Captain, please give the order."

"You are ordered not to return to headquarters for the time being. Continue to track the man and woman until you determine their whereabouts, then return to headquarters to report."

Hearing that the new task was simply to track Su Yang and Lin Anlan, Peng Shaoshi felt a little better, especially since the girl he had his eye on was also among the targets. He readily accepted the assignment: "Your subordinate obeys."

Su Yang returned to the cabin, and Lin Anlan immediately came to greet him, checking him over from head to toe, and asking, "Are you alright?"

Seeing Lin Anlan checking on him with such concern, Su Yang felt a warmth in his heart and replied softly, "I'm fine. But you, were you injured earlier?"

"I... I'm not injured, I'm worried you might be."

"You're not angry with me anymore?"

"What do you mean, 'angry'? What are you saying?"

"Alright then, let's go back to our room. There's nothing else to do here. We might be able to use the corpses of those Water Wind Beasts as food tonight."

Lin Anlan knew what Su Yang meant by being angry, but she just didn't want to admit it. Fortunately, Su Yang didn't delve into it and let the matter pass.
