Some ships were attacked by Sea Beasts, their crews falling overboard and nearly getting wiped out. Just then, an eerie black ship with no sails, crew, or oars would glide past, scaring the Sea Beast into a desperate retreat. The survivors were left feeling both grateful and shocked by the ship's strangeness and speed.
These various encounters only added to the mystique of the Dragon Bone Ship, whose legend was already growing more and more fantastic.
Cheng Zongyang never interfered in any of the incidents he encountered on his voyage. Whether it was pirates pleading for help, sailors swept overboard by storms, or the rare Sea Beast attack, he ignored them all.
'Saving them would only bring me trouble. If I don't, nothing happens.' The only strange thing was that both the pirates and the Sea Beasts would flee in terror the moment they saw his ship.
