Chapter 326 West Coast of the Continent
Chapter 326 West Coast of the Continent
A bitch is more alluring than a princess at midnight.
Suraj knows this all too well.
That night, the Midnight Bitch will transform into a highly skilled dancer.
She treated the storm as a dance floor and the thunder as her music, dancing on the swirling, turbulent, and surging sea.
Suraj hadn't expected that the Midnight Bitch could so skillfully weather the storm and attempt to pass through the thick wall of wind.
And in the end, they succeeded.
Despite the Midnight Bitch losing a mast and the cold rain flooding the entire hold, she did indeed survive.
The crew cheered for her and vied to sleep with her.
The prostitute did indeed become a hero, but we must not forget the strong man who conquered her.
Suraj could never forget Miko's unwavering figure standing firm in the wind and rain, his resolute eyes fixed on the sea.
He seemed to have become one with the bitch—oh! Of course, the prerequisite for conquering a bitch is to become one with her, to feel every ripple of the current teasing the keel, and to experience every hurricane kissing the sails.
Even those who assisted him were nothing more than third-rate sailors.
But it was under these adverse circumstances that Mico piloted the Midnight Bitch through the stormy sea.
The crew cheered for Miko, but Miko showed no expression.
He simply gripped the helm tightly, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.
In an instant, Suraj realized that Miko was still immersed in his identity as the helmsman.
This focus surprised Suraj.
At that moment, Suraj finally understood what Cyril meant by Miko's words, "He's very useful."
It's not just easy to use, it's practically a first-rate helmsman.
No! He's even the best helmsman in the world, bar none!
Miko's meticulous cabin control techniques truly amazed Suraj.
Suraj couldn't help but wonder what kind of terrifying ship command ability the navigator Miko mentioned, whose orders were more accurate than his own judgment, possessed.
No wonder the navigator was able to discover new continents; not only did he himself need to be a genius, but those he commanded were also absolutely top talents.
Micoe is, in Cyril, who can mediate between decent people, and the talkative Benson who was killed is probably not much different.
Suraj felt that if the navigator truly intended to cross the storm sea, he might be able to do it.
In short, it was almost entirely through Miko's own efforts that the entire ship was saved from the ravages of the storm.
After escaping the storm, it took the combined efforts of the entire ship to empty the water from the vessel.
Everyone was exhausted, but Miko remained unmoved, singing all the while.
Doesn't he ever feel tired?
No. Perhaps he simply didn't receive orders.
The phrase "very useful" seems to imply that Miko is able to strictly and accurately follow orders.
So Suraj ordered Miko to rest, and Miko then loosened his grip on the rudder, letting others take over.
After eating, Miko went to sleep in the cabin.
Miko fell asleep within seconds.
He was indeed exhausted, and he was indeed "very useful".
This time, however, Suraj dared not enter Miko's dream.
The terror of that dream still lingers in Suraj's mind.
Suraj couldn't understand why Miko, such a simple person, would have such filthy and terrifying things in his subconscious, even though this time, Miko's expression was much more peaceful in his sleep.
Since then, Suraj has tried to put Miko in charge of the cabin.
He himself no longer dared to relax his monitoring of the surrounding weather.
The ship has already broken a comb, and even if Mico is a top-notch lead dancer, he has no way to lead the tumor-legged bitch to complete the waltz.
Therefore, we must never allow ships to be swept into storms again!
Fortunately, everything went smoothly after that, and Suraj successfully kept this bitch with him, avoiding the risk of being swept into the storm time and time again.
How long has it been since then?
Half a month? A month?
Suraj didn't know.
But his ship had fallen into another crisis—a food shortage.
For this suicidal voyage, Suraj prepared a whole ship full of food in advance.
Even so, food was nearly exhausted.
Although Suraj ordered a reduction in food supplies, this did not solve the fundamental problem.
If they cannot find a way to replenish their food supply or reach their destination, even if the crew does not starve, internal strife will break out.
The ship has turned north, and if it is lucky, it has bypassed the Devil's Reef, and the entire crew will be saved.
But if luck wasn't on your side, the ship might even have sailed around the west coast of the New World.
Then even the gods cannot save them.
Fortunately, Suraj was lucky; he was high in the air at the moment and saw a long line appear in front of him.
That's land!
However, this was the view from high above, so they were actually still a long way from the land.
But simply delivering this message to the crew would be enough to stabilize morale.
Then, Suraj finally arrived in the New World!
Suraj did not rush ashore, but instead launched his small boat to investigate the sea conditions to avoid damaging the hull.
After confirming that everything was alright, Suraj then ordered the Midnight Bitch to anchor off the mainland.
Suraj immediately ordered his crew to search for food and hunt nearby.
He also dispatched one of his scouts to investigate the situation in the vicinity.
Suraj was overjoyed, because he was very likely to be the first Easterner to reach the western coast of the New World.
The Green-Eyed Man focused all his attention on the East Coast, and no one would have imagined that Suraj would actually overcome so many dangers to reach such a perilous area.
This will give Suraj ample time to develop.
Perhaps he can establish an outpost here!
Become a Swabawa and begin your conquest of the New World!
But that's a matter for later; right now, their country doesn't have the extra energy to focus on this distant land.
What Suraj needs to do is find a path to prosperity for his country.
Therefore, his primary goal was to find a spice-producing region and continuously transport spices to his homeland.
By this time, the men who had been sent out had returned and handed over all the collected food to the sailors who had worked as chefs.
Suraj received a bowl of wild vegetable stewed with turtle and a roasted seabird.
The turtle soup was fishy, and the bird meat was sour and astringent, but hunger left Suraj with no time to be picky.
The remaining food on board needs to be saved for emergencies. To explore further into the mainland, it is also necessary to have sufficient food to get through the most difficult initial stage.
After having eaten their fill, Suraj and his group no longer needed to worry about their survival.
However, it would be too hasty to regard this place as the starting point for the team's exploration of new lands.
Having learned from his previous experience, Suraj understood that starting at the river's estuary would greatly reduce the risks of exploration.
Therefore, Suraj ordered everyone to get back on the boats and sail north along the coastline.
In the sweltering summer, even the sea breeze feels scorching hot.
At this moment, he couldn't help but miss the coolness of the stormy sea.
After sailing for a day and a night, at noon on the second day, Suraj finally discovered an inlet to the sea.
Suraj ordered his men to come ashore and sent out two-thirds of them to scout the surrounding terrain.
He also instructed them that if they discovered a tribe of green-eyed people, they should not alert them, but should immediately return and report.
Suraj knew very well how dangerous this continent was, and the green-eyed people were undoubtedly a threat.
It is unclear whether the green-eyed people on the West Coast also hate them, a group of people with heterochromatic eyes.
After all, according to the intelligence that Suraj had, the Westerners seemed to have another tribal confederation. To these green-eyed people, Suraj and his group might just be some strange people who had come to visit for some unknown reason.
However, it cannot be ruled out that these people are unusually vigilant and see them as a threat to be eliminated.
Therefore, the distribution of the nearby Green-Eyed People tribe is also intelligence that Suraj must obtain.
The remaining people were sent by Suraj to collect food.
As night fell, everyone gradually returned to the landing point.
Cook what needs to be cooked, and report what needs to be reported.
Suraj thus learned that the men he sent out had failed to reach the end of the river, and that it did not even show any sign of narrowing, indicating that the river was extremely long.
With a river, the upper limit of transportation capacity will be greatly increased.
A flat area was also discovered in the forest, suggesting that it might be suitable for conversion into a temporary settlement.
More importantly, no one has discovered the tribe of the green-eyed people!
Suraj immediately decided to make this place the starting point of his journey!
After a night, early the next morning, Suraj made arrangements and deployments.
He ordered the sailboat to be left at sea, with only five people left to watch the ship, while the others took supplies and tools and went to explore and develop the mainland.
Suraj will lead this motley crew to establish their first stronghold in the New World!
Everyone busied themselves, moving supplies ashore in preparation for this grand journey.
But at this very moment, Miko found him.
Suraj asked, "What's wrong, Miko?"
"Miko wants to know how long Suraj plans to stay in the forest?"
This question stumped Suraj, and he could only answer:
"Unpredictable, but it won't be too short."
"So, Miko wants to say goodbye to Suraj."
Suraj was startled and frowned.
He knew very well that it was because of Miko's existence that they were able to reach this continent.
It can be said that Miko is now his most reliable subordinate.
But just as he was about to begin his exploration, Miko suddenly resigned, leaving Suraj somewhat at a loss.
Suraj asked, "Can you tell me your reasons?"
Miko nodded: "The reason is the promise."
"promise?"
"Yes, a promise," Miko nodded again.
Suraj knew that Miko was not lying; this simple, even somewhat foolish, man could not possibly lie.
Suraj's desperate efforts were based on a promise.
Therefore, he had no way to refuse this reason.
Despite the regret, Suraj could only sigh:
"So, Miko, thank you for your contributions to the team. What kind of compensation do you need?"
Mico thought for a moment: "Mico wants that small boat."
This requirement is really not high.
Suraj immediately nodded: "That's yours!"
Mico immediately rowed his small boat, preparing to leave.
Suraj then provided Miko with ample food and fresh water.
The seawater rose and fell, lifting Miko up and then letting her down.
Suraj watched the small boat gradually disappear into the distance, and Miko's retreating figure.
He couldn't help but think that Miko was truly a person who never procrastinated on his work.
Suraj also envied him; how lucky it was to receive a promise from someone like Miko.
Miko's tone was casual, as if everything was perfectly normal.
Miko's reasons continued to resonate in Suraj's mind, growing ever more powerful and impactful, leaving him deeply shaken:
"Mico promised to be the helmsman on Henry's ship."
"Now that Mico can sail, he's going to find Henry's ship."
"This is Miko's promise!"
