The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen

Chapter 196: Chapter 110: The Yun Dao of Escape

The next day, Li Sea, southern waters

Above the calm sea surface, shadows of ships suddenly appeared, yet their actual presence couldn’t be traced on the water; as if they existed only in the reflections on the sea.

Mirrored ships had three thick masts attached to somewhat tattered pure white sails, and from the sides of the cabins, riddled with holes from corrosion, protruded cannon barrels that had yet to be withdrawn.

Atop the leading ship, near the bow, stood an indistinct sculpture of a figure whose hands cradled something, trailing a length of gauze behind, and even as a stone figure, it conveyed an elegant demeanor.

But then the reflections in the water became even more real, as if reflections and reality had switched places. The Brave Ship appeared from the void, crashing heavily onto the sea, shattering the peacefulness of the ocean with the spray it raised.

Captain Yun Dao looked up and scanned the surroundings, unable to see the dark Insect Swarm, nor those dreadful jellyfish floating on the water like monsters, finally relaxing his taut nerves.

Unexpectedly weakened, his hands slid from the steering wheel, and he flopped onto the deck.

The fatigue suppressed by the tension from the previous battle now rebounded, rendering his body numb, as if every muscle was trembling.

“Finally…

Got away…”

Captain Yun Dao didn’t choose to get up immediately; instead, he let himself lie spread-eagled on the floor of his captain’s quarters, taking deep breaths and feeling fortunate to have escaped from those creatures’ clutches.

Since their last separation, according to the plan, he had made the first contact with the Insect Clan near the Li Sea Peninsula alongside the Five Sea Dominator.

During that encounter, they had recognized the formidable strength of the Insect Clan, but both of them remained confident in facing them, believing they wouldn’t be afraid at sea.

Furthermore, the number of Insect Clan members they met that time wasn’t large, only slightly over a thousand, not much different from the number of their own men.

However, since it was just a reconnaissance, they both withdrew upon contact without engaging in a prolonged battle.
