Chapter 5 [Secret Sea Crystal]


Chapter 5 [Secret Sea Crystal]

[Kill the Alienized Saw Shark]

[Get the Trophy: Fresh Saw Shark Corpse]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Type: Material]

[Description: Creatures born in seawater rich in secret power are naturally more powerful, but they are also a high-quality food. 】

【The jagged snout may be a good weapon, right? 】

【Note: You can only bring back one piece of loot per dive, please choose carefully. 】

“Just a trophy? Who are you looking down on?”

Xia En secretly complained.

At this moment, a few more lines of prompts flashed on the gray panel.

【It has been detected that "Secret Sea Crystal" is present in the corpse. Should it be absorbed? 】

【Secret Sea Crystal】

【Quality: Rare】

【Type: Material】

[Description: The crystals condensed from the secret power in the ocean can be directly absorbed by the "Eye of the Secret Sea" to enhance the ship soul level and ship attributes. 】

【Please remember, it is alive! 】

“Is there such a good thing?”

Xia En’s eyes lit up and his heart beat violently.

He had been curious before about how [Ship Soul Level] could be improved, and now he finally got the answer.

"Absorb!"

Xia En made the decision without hesitation.

I saw a piece of faint blue crystal floating out from the saw shark's belly and blending directly into the body of the projection.

Immediately, a refreshing and cool breath surged up, flowing through the limbs and bones, which was very comfortable.

At the same time.

There was a burst of cheering in Shane's ears, as if to express his gratitude.

If he guessed correctly, this is exactly the emotion conveyed by [Black Swan].

The connection between him and the ship soul seems to have become closer because of this.

[Ship Soul Level: LV1 (2%)]

At this point, Xia En basically understood the use of the talent [Deep Sea Snorkeling].

Not only can you hunt sea beasts, obtain the [Secret Sea Crystals] in their bodies, and fight monsters to upgrade.

You can also find out the situation on the seabed in advance and obtain sufficient information.

After that, whether you go into the sea yourself or send out salvagers, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

He can even control the projection body to assist the crew in salvage.

At this moment, Xia En noticed something like a progress bar in the lower right corner of his field of vision, which was still shortening.

Open the panel to view.

[Projected Body]

[Ship Soul Asylum: When submerged, the projected body can move freely in the sea water. 】

【But when the power of the ship soul is exhausted, it will automatically exit the submersible state. 】

【Ship Soul Power LV1: 89/100】

While checking, Xia En watched as the number of the ship's soul power dropped from "90" to "89."

Obviously, just being in the sea water was constantly consuming the power of the ship's soul. .

“This is like an oxygen tank during diving. If it drops to 0, the projection body will be destroyed.”

“Furthermore, attacking or being attacked seems to accelerate its loss.”

“Perhaps the depth of the seawater also has an impact?”

"On the other hand, increasing the [sturdiness] attribute of the ship and improving the level of the ship's soul can increase the time spent on the bottom of the sea."

This is the first time to explore anyway, and Xia En doesn't care much about the gains from this trip. , and focus more on exploring the rules.

This is exactly the same as his idea of ​​playing games in his previous life.

Thus, in the process of exploring the rules and searching abandoned houses, the first [submersible] ended.

【Please choose your trophy! 】

【1. A rusty clock】

【2. Broken wooden board】

【3. Fresh saw shark carcass】

Just as Shane expected , this ruins have long been raided cleanly.

Although he killed some underwater creatures one after another, none of them exploded [Secret Sea Crystal].

Qianhai's explosion rate is obviously not too high.

In the end, the most valuable harvest was the shark's body.

Xia En opened his eyes and his mind returned to the captain's cabin. In front of him, lay a tragically dead saw shark. The shark was still wet, soaking the floor of the captain's cabin, as if it had just been fished out of the water.

“Is this thing... edible?”

Xia En touched his chin and asked the most classic question from the Foodie Empire.

Although the description said it was an ingredient, he remembered that shark meat contained a large amount of urea, and it would taste like urine.

"Maybe the alienated sharks will be different?"

Because the seawater submerged the land in the previous era, things containing secret powers in the city leaked into the ocean, causing a huge disaster. [Extraordinary pollution] on a wide scale, leading to widespread alienation of marine life.

Both the body shape and physiological structure are obviously different from the creatures on earth.

In the deep sea, there are countless terrifying sea monsters with strange abilities.

"I'll know if it tastes good or not later, but I still have to explain to Joey where this shark came from..."

Xia En's mind turned around and he Came up with a great idea.

……

……

A moment later, on the deck.

"Mr. Captain, what are you doing?"

Looking at Shane who took out a long fishing rod, Joey showed a puzzled expression.

Xia En said rationally: "Why, have you never seen fishing?"

"Well, you are probably tired, so just go find a room and rest for a while. When I catch a fish, I will call you "

On the ship, the captain’s orders are louder than the sky.

It just so happened that Joey was a little tired, so he honestly walked into the cabin to rest.

"Captain Shane, you are quite a nice guy."

Lying on the wooden bed, Joey thought to himself.

After spending just half a day together, he could tell to some extent that although the captain had a weird temperament and behavior, he was essentially a good person.

Because of this, Joey, who was hiding something, felt a little uneasy.

The other side.

Xia En has already fixed the fishing rod on the edge of the boat. After casually loading the bait and throwing the rod, he sat down on a stool beside him.

Xia En actually has no experience in sea fishing. Fishing is not only a way to kill time, but also a reasonable excuse for the corpse of the saw shark.

It’s best if you can catch it, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t catch it.

Taking advantage of this time, Xia En began to think about his next plan.

"Including interest, I have to pay back a total of 350 Silver Snake coins."

"This is a huge sum of money, enough to buy the entire Black Swan."

"If you want to pay off this money, it will take a lot of time just to explore such small ruins in the offshore. Only by going to farther seas can you get rich."

Xia En narrowed his eyes, he Remember, there is an underwater ruin called "Coral City" near Duke Island.

It was once the prosperous capital of a kingdom, with many buildings, a vast area, and an extremely complex environment.

To this day, the secret treasures in the city have not been fully discovered.

“However, the dangers of the open sea are far greater than those of the near sea.”

It goes without saying that there is danger under the sea. More importantly, there is often a command near larger ruins. The existence that ordinary ships are afraid of——

Pirate ship!

Since ancient times, the golden belt of murder and arson has been an unchanging law, especially in this chaotic sea.

Going to the bottom of the sea to salvage is very dangerous, so wouldn’t it be better to just rob the salvage ship?

Even many salvage ships themselves don’t mind playing the role of pirate ships occasionally.

Small and medium-sized ships like the Black Swan are easy targets for pirates.

“My current combat power is probably only at the level of a first-order Mystic Path user.”

"It's okay to meet ordinary fish pirates, but if you run into a big pirate on the bounty list, you probably won't be able to escape."

In this regard, Xia En is still somewhat self-aware.

“The primary goal now is to dive into the deep sea every day and not lose anything I can catch. It is best to find a long-term exploration ruin under the sea.”

“The second is to improve. The strength of himself and the Black Swan."

Xia En silently set two small goals in his mind, and then thought: "We have to ask Joey what he knows and whether he is qualified to work as a salvage officer. ”

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that there was a crew column on the panel, so he opened it and took a look.
