After three attempts to find an honest crew, Minos’ group stopped in front of a large ship decorated with the bones and remains of giant sea creatures.

The sides of this 30-meter-long and 10-meter-wide boat were completely lined with giant bones, while the quilla of the ship was a giant vertebrate spine.

A large skull at the top of the boat made room for the command center, where the ship’s navigators probably traveled.

The ship’s crew was milling about, going about the typical routine of preparing a ship like this for voyages.

As Minos and his people arrived, someone at the main mast, preparing the sails, saw these strange people and asked. “What do you want? Are you looking for our captain?”

“Hmm. I’d like to better understand what my group would need to travel with you. We’ve heard what you charge, and we’re interested in an exclusive trip to the Ganaway Refuge.” Minos replied directly.

“Captain, someone wants to see you,” shouted the native, who was a humanoid crab.

A few moments after this creature spoke, a four-meter sea serpent emerged from inside the giant skull on the boat and looked at the people in Minos’ group with its snake-like eyes.

With his cultivation at level 109, this captain wasn’t far behind the others Minos and his companions had talked to so far.

“Do you want to know what you need to prepare for the journey to this island? Well, nothing you do will make a difference.” This being already appeared and spoke in his high voice. “You are weak. Will it make any difference if you prepare? The truth is that this journey depends a lot on our luck and the route we take.

But if we face a terrible storm on the way, even if you were all on the same level as me, we could not succeed.”

Minos listened and noticed that, for the first time today, a captain didn’t try to deceive them and was completely sincere.

The level 109 snake added. “If you’re interested in an exclusive trip, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a few days. I already have half of the seats on my boat, which is scheduled to leave at dawn tomorrow. So I can only take you if you agree to share my boat with other travelers.

Minos’ companions didn’t have the same feelings as their leader, so they remained silent, imagining this was another mistake.

But Minos asked a question. “What is the success rate of the senior’s group?”

All the crew members on that ship laughed when they heard Minos’ question, as the captain couldn’t help but open his mouth and stick out his forked tongue.

“Success rate? Alien boy, everyone in this business has a 100% success rate. Those who have failed before are no longer in this business.” Said the serpent, implying that everyone who failed died.

“Okay,” Minos said, clenching his fists. “We will continue with your group at dawn.”

Minos’ companions were surprised to hear this. This crew seemed much more suspicious to them than the others they had already passed.

‘Are you sure about this?’ Ruth asked Minos. ‘There is no way I can be 100% sure. But this guy at least doesn’t seem interested in doing us any harm. Whether it will be safe is another matter. Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll find anything better,’ he warned Ruth.

She trusted him and did not question him any more.

“Can I pay the senior directly, or do I have to go back to your men in the city center?” Minos asked.

“Pay them, boy. I don’t travel with my own money, haha.” The serpent said as he turned his back on the group. “Don’t be late tomorrow. I’ll only wait ten minutes after midnight. If you don’t show up, you’ll miss your trip and won’t be able to get your money back.”

“Okay. See you tomorrow.” Minos said as he called his group back to the shop where he had picked up the address of this boat.

“Is everything going to be all right, Your Majesty?” One of the men from the Spiritual World who was with them asked.

“Who knows…” Minos muttered. “This group seems to be minimally reliable, unlike the others. But let’s prepare for the worst. I want you all to be on guard the whole way to the Ganaway Refuge.”

They all agreed, and not long after, they stopped at the shop they had passed earlier, where they quickly booked on the boat that would leave at dawn.

After that, Minos and his crew would do some shopping in the city before resting for a few hours to prepare for what might be the last journey of their lives.

…

After doing everything they were supposed to do in this city in the far north of Oqia, Minos, and Ruth were finishing something in a special room made for beings with bodies similar to their own.

In this strange place, even by the standards of beings from the Spiritual World, they were completely naked as they enjoyed themselves one last time before the dangerous journey ahead of them.

They were standing next to a wall, Ruth leaning against it with her arms while Minos held one of her legs and thrust his staff quickly and forcefully into her pink cavern.

They were both sweating and making the pleasurable sounds typical of human mating. But as much as they enjoyed their favorite pastime, neither of them was ready to become pregnant. So not only was Minos careful, but Ruth was also careful not to get pregnant.

Although they both loved her and the idea of having more children, they couldn’t risk it. Even though the chances of them having children now were slim, neither could risk it on the eve of their departure from this world.

Thus, when Minos poured his magical contents into Ruth’s cave of love, making her tremble with excitement, it was just a nourishing liquid there, incapable of causing the “germination” of anything in Ruth.

When Minos did it, the beautiful black-haired woman couldn’t stand it and came as well, feeling the muscles in her lower parts tremble beyond her control while she couldn’t help moaning.

“Ahhhhhh~”

That was how they would end their journey in Oqia, soon they would take a relaxing bath before preparing to leave this continent where they had become so strong after arriving in this world.

That morning, the group would finally leave Oqia for the Ganaway Refuge!
