Chapter 76: The Blood Eagle
Byron did not rush over immediately; instead, he repeated his earlier tactic along the way, acquiring two more funerary relics from two weak human Valkyries. Ensuring he could call for external assistance at any moment. Only then did he steer clear of other ship coffins and follow the sound.
He had wasted a considerable amount of time on the way, and the cry for help had transformed from an initial scream to a faint, mosquito-like groan. From the sound, it was evident that the person was likely exhaling more than inhaling.
Because Violet had stipulated that in this treasure hunt competition, it was her against all the captains on Redbeard's side. Byron wasn't in a hurry when he heard the cry for help. Although five of the bay dweller parliamentarians had also exploited the loophole in the rules by voting for Redbeard to join in, it wasn't in Byron's responsibility to save a third-rank supernatural being.
