The heavy anchor, laden with mud, was slowly pulled away from the sea floor.
Prepared logs were pushed into the gaps between the hull and the reef, and with the cooperation of tides and manpower, a dull rolling sound was heard.
Boom! A loud noise, water splashes everywhere.
The beached giant, the "Sea Suppression," finally freed itself from the grip of the reef, its bow slowly pointing towards the open sea.
"Full sails! Turn three to port!" The old helmsman was invigorated.
The massive stiff sails billowed in the wind, making a loud "whoosh."
The ship traced a graceful arc on the sea surface, completely escaping this treacherous water zone.
On the deck, the exhausted crew watched the shrinking outline of the reefs behind them, their tense nerves finally relaxing a bit.
"Dammit, we finally got out!"
Sha Lifei plopped down on the deck, grinning and saying, "This ghostly place, it's creepy!"
