Chapter 502: Chapter 295 - The Never-Lost Compass_3

"Racing Island?" Everyone paused at the mention, and Jane swiftly pulled out the map of the Evil Spirit Sea Area to take a look.

Racing Island was located to the northwest of Turtle Island.

"Why would it be Racing Island? That’s not the way to Luoweng Island..." the Devil furrowed his brow.

To be precise, Racing Island and Luoweng Island were in two completely opposite directions — this couldn’t simply be a course deviation.

"Clearly... their destination is Skeleton Island..." the Son of Heaven sighed helplessly.

The so-called Skeleton Island was precisely where the first entrance was located.

Skeleton Island, Racing Island, and Turtle Island were all located in a straight line on the map. Their current course, if they were heading straight for Skeleton Island, made perfect sense!

"How could it be? Even if he discovered another entrance near Skeleton Island, without the map of fragment one, he couldn’t possibly find the entrance!" Jane voiced her confusion.

Once one obtained the entrance fragment of either one or nine, it was easy to discover the secret of the near overlay of the Dawn City Map and the map of the Evil Spirit Sea Area.

When they first obtained fragment one, they immediately discovered this secret. Then, through the symmetry of the two entrances, they were easily able to confirm the rough location of the other entrance.

So, Jane did not doubt that the Ghost Captain already had a grasp on the key location of ’Skeleton Island’.

However, he could only determine the approximate location.

Using the map of the Evil Spirit Sea Area directly as the Dawn City Map was impossible.

Everyone had a map of the Evil Spirit Sea Area, but a simple sea map that marked the positions of a few hundred islands while 95% of the area was covered by the sea was greatly different from the actual topographical map of Dawn City’s land.

The sea map wouldn’t mark the specific location of the entrance to Dawn City, nor did it have detailed topographical data once inside the city.

Without fragment one, simply relying on an approximate location, it was impossible to find the specific location of the entrance in such a short time.

Hence, Jane could not understand why the Ghost Captain would give up on an existing entrance and gamble his luck on another uncertain entrance.

"The only possibility is that they have already mastered a way to enter through the first entrance," the Son of Heaven shook his head.

"But we’ve never leaked the first fragment. Only the three of us have seen the detailed map. Where did they get the information?" The Devil was suspicious. The details of the two entrance maps were top secret. Besides him, the Son of Heaven, and Jane, even the other high-ranking members of the Divine Mandate knew nothing.

"When one and nine were in our hands, didn’t the Ghost Captain also figure out that Dawn City is in the Evil Spirit Sea Area? Now we can only assume that he has some unknown source of information," the Son of Heaven shook his head helplessly: "Anyway, it seems that our competition with the Ghost Captain is inevitable."

"Give the order, let all the people we’ve arranged along the way gather. If they spot the Ghost Captain’s ship, they should strike it immediately to delay their speed as much as possible..."

"And the fleet at Skeleton Island should be prepared to do everything they can to prevent them from getting close to the island..."

...

Meanwhile, out at sea.

A black three-masted ship was sailing through the night sea. The wind was blowing from behind, inflating the sails to their maximum size, and the speed of the ship was breathtaking as it cut through the waves.

"Skeleton Island, huh..."

Mu You stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the map in his hand.

The Son of Heaven and others were correct in guessing that he had determined, from the diagonal pattern of the two entrances, that the first entrance was near ’Skeleton Island’.

With this location, things would be easy.

He didn’t have the map for the first entrance to confirm the exact location, but he still had another divine artifact: The Compass of Destiny!

The reason why he couldn’t use the compass before was because the position of the entrance was uncertain. He felt lost, and with only a vague impression, he couldn’t anchor the coordinate.

But now, with Skeleton Island as a more definitive reference point, the location of the entrance was immediately fixed.

Mu You took out the Compass of Destiny.

The compass needle, which had been spinning like a top, had now come to a stop, and it was consistently pointing forward.

Mu You believed that this was the direction to the first entrance because, at this moment, he had no doubts in his mind, and the only goal left in his heart was the entrance to Dawn City.
