The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 907 - 589: The Reward for Courage

The night shrouded the ocean, making the already silent sea appear even darker and deeper.

Only the faint light cast by the silver moon slightly dispelled the fear brought by this darkness.

A small boat drifted gently with the waves, moving further away with the ocean current.

Upon closer inspection, one could see the boat was wrapped in a faint blood-colored film.

Inside the film were the children who had successfully escaped from the ship.

Tokke clung to the bow with both hands, using his blood-colored power to maintain the wrap around the boat.

The other children were also by the sides of the boat, each exerting their power to contribute to the film enveloping the vessel.

In the center of the boat, Eva held the exhausted Adam. Adam’s upper-body clothing had been removed, revealing a large wound on his back.

This was the result of a merciless attack by a Blood Race pirate. As a fellow member of the Blood Race, the pirate knew how to inflict irreparable damage, especially when facing his own kind.

The residual blood-colored power carried a high-level suppression, rendering Adam’s special Blood Race constitution unable to function, causing the wound to heal extremely slowly.

Beside him, the young Elf Blood Race, Pokanasha, struggled to lift her arms, her forehead covered in tiny beads of sweat.

Her hands transformed into threads of blood, striving to strip away the power suppression from Adam’s wound and stitch it for him.

In doing so, with the restorative effect of Adam’s constitution, the wound could heal faster.

"Have you studied healing?" Adam asked curiously, hoping to alleviate her tension.

But as soon as he spoke, Eva couldn’t help but raise her hand to pat him: "Don’t disturb her, she’s healing you."

"Ah..."

Upon hearing Adam’s cry of pain, Eva immediately became tense again, quickly apologizing.

"No matter what, at least we’ve managed to escape. We no longer need to worry about becoming like those scumbags, feeding on the blood of the innocent, doing those..."

Having successfully escaped from the pirate ship, Adam couldn’t hide his joy, and couldn’t help but talk about the worries they no longer faced after escaping the sea of hardship.

Eva looked around, full of worry. She was concerned whether this small boat could drift safely on the sea, worried whether they had truly broken free from the pirate ship’s control, feared whether they could be safe, and was uncertain whether they would be accepted by the outside world.

Above the sky, several giant bird shadows were circling slowly.

"Captain, aren’t we going to go down and rescue them?" the Half-Elf Thief asked.

The Leopard Beastman Captain shook his head, staring intently at the boat drifting on the sea below, a gentle smile on his face.

"Why spoil their courage at this moment? These children have clearly been preparing for an escape plan. Now they have left that den of evil by their own efforts, and it’s the time to praise their bravery. Our sudden appearance would only diminish the hard-earned achievement they’ve made."

Beside him, the Male Mage shook his head helplessly upon hearing this. To be honest, he didn’t quite understand. With his scholar-like thinking, he found it very difficult to comprehend the Captain’s idea.

But since it’s the Captain’s order, he didn’t delve into it further, especially since the Captain cared the most about these children among the team.

"Good heavens, you can’t let these kids float to the shore by themselves, can you?" the Heavy Armored Dwarf couldn’t help but mutter.

Dwarves have always been exceedingly protective of their offspring, finding it hard to understand the Beastman’s logic.

"Of course not, I’m not foolish. When dawn approaches and they get tired, we’ll step in."

Another squad fighting alongside them did not come to this spot, but stayed back to clean up the battlefield.

They need to deal with those cultists, ensuring none escape, and capture some Blood Race pirates, as not every Blood Race pirate willingly colludes with Evil Gods.

...

When the sun was high in the sky, the small boat had already drifted to unknown whereabouts.

On the boat, several children sat idly, gazing at the vast, unchanged ocean.

Adam rubbed his eyes, raising a hand to shield the direct sunlight.

"Adam brother, you’re awake!" A child who was awake ran over and hugged his leg.

Adam smiled and patted the child’s head, looking towards the bow where he saw Eva leaning halfway out.

"What are you doing?"

"Shh!" Another child signaled to Adam, his expression tense.

Adam quietly moved closer, seeing Eva suddenly swing her arm into the water.

"Hahaha! I caught it!"

A sea fish as long as an arm was hauled up, its scales shimmering with bright light in the sun.

"Impressive."

The fish struggled desperately on the boat, the children excitedly gathered around it. The bold Tokke pressed his whole body against the fish, pinning it down firmly.

At this moment, the entire small boat was shrouded in shadow.

The children instinctively looked up and saw several giant birds flying overhead, obscuring the sunlight.

Adam widened his eyes, recognizing these birds from the pirate ship yesterday, they were those attackers.

"Such big birds!"

A child exclaimed in surprise, Adam hurriedly pulled him behind.

Eva also noticed the anomaly, she and Adam shielded the children behind them, watching the giant birds vigilantly overhead.

A giant bird with beautiful orange-red feathers swooped down, its large form almost covering the entire small boat. Its huge claws gripped the boat’s edge firmly, and its enormous beak snagged the fish jumping on the deck and swallowed it whole.

"That was ours!" One child couldn’t help but shout, but was immediately pulled over by Eva who covered his mouth.

The children were still unable to judge whether the group of giant birds harbored goodwill.

In this tense atmosphere, a slightly heroic female voice sounded: "Redhead seems to like the fish you caught, how about we consider it our reward, Eva?"

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Eva’s eyes widened, her cat ears couldn’t help but stand upright, slightly trembling.

A nimble figure in light armor leapt down from an unseen place, landing on the boat, causing it to sway.

"Hey, brat, can’t you stand firm?"

The Beastman who jumped down casually caught a child who nearly fell.

The child in her arms watched this scene, finally unable to hold back tears.

"Captain, save it, why are you picking on kids now?" A giant bird glided nearby, and the Half-Elf on its back couldn’t help but tease.

The Beastman Captain glared at him fiercely, then refocused on Eva, who stood stunned, her eyes full of incredulity, and smiled as he asked: "What’s wrong? Haven’t seen me for two years, have you already forgotten me?"
