Chapter 129 Strengthening components! Go and come back again!
(Revised at the end of the previous chapter.)
————————
The empty and silent shelter.
Self-opening door.
The crystal coffin lies peacefully in the room.
When these factors are combined, it seems that he can make a guest appearance on the set of a horror movie. Shane can't help but stand on end and break into a cold sweat.
However, after all, he had experienced many battles and made the right choice the first time.
“Let’s go!”
Xia En grabbed Xian Ge beside him and rushed towards the exit of the shelter with An.
When he ran to the corridor, he did not forget to pull the door handle hard and close the door again.
If it weren’t for the worry that things would change later, he would even want to nail a circle of wooden boards on the door!
Not long after.
The two of them rushed out of the [Ember Sanctuary] gate. During this period, they were not blocked and no special circumstances occurred.
But Xia En was still worried and immediately rushed to the coast without stopping.
Strangely, the return journey was also extremely smooth.
Nothing strange happened.
But the more this happened, the ominous premonition in Xia En's heart became stronger.
He didn't think that the crystal coffin suddenly opened the door just to say hello to him.
Xian Ge and An were also affected by Xia En's emotions and kept their heads down while driving, not daring to say a word.
Until I ran back to the beach of the island and saw the [Black Swan] within my field of vision.
Xia Encai breathed a sigh of relief and thought in his mind: "Could it be...that I am really worrying too much?"
"The crystal coffin is actually not that dangerous?"
"Mr. Captain——"
As soon as Shane came up with this idea, he saw Joey on the deck waving to him and shouted: "There is a strange thing on the ship!"
"Hiss!"
Xia En took a breath of cold air, rushed to the boat, and took a closer look.
The crystal coffin suddenly appeared on the deck of the [Black Swan]!
Different from the quick glance just now, Shane can now clearly observe its entirety.
This coffin seems to be carved from a whole piece of unknown crystal. The translucent crystal reflects a dark and chaotic halo.
If you look closely, you can still see the strange lines around the box, which look like some kind of hieroglyphics or symbols with extraordinary qualities.
Through the translucent crystal, Shane could barely see lying inside...
A fleshless, clothed skeleton?
To be honest, Xia En was relieved when he saw the crystal coffin appearing on the deck.
Compared with the fear of not knowing when the danger will come, at least this crystal coffin finally showed its unusual side.
After regaining his composure, Shane asked Joey.
“When did this coffin appear?”
After thinking about it, Joey replied: “It should have been five minutes ago. At that time, I was planning to flush the deck and just took it. Tool, I turned around and saw it appearing on the deck."
"Five minutes..."
Xia En's thoughts were wandering.
At that time, they should have run to the forest area close to the beach.
The question is, how does the crystal coffin track itself and lock the [Black Swan] on the shore?
Is this sudden ability a matter of space teleportation, or...
However, the more critical question right now is -
How to deal with this coffin?
Because of Wayne Moriarty's message, Shane was naturally very wary of the crystal coffin.
Although there are many evil things on his ship, whether it is Xiao Zhan, Ah Pao or Keel, they all absolutely obey the captain's orders.
And this crystal coffin will obviously not be so obedient.
No wise captain would leave a dangerous power and unknown purpose on board.
You know, even the federal chief is unwilling to mess with this crystal coffin!
After thinking for a moment, Xia En walked to the crystal coffin and said in a serious tone.
"If you have your own consciousness, tell me your purpose!"
However, neither the crystal coffin nor the bones in the crystal responded, and they lay quietly on the spot.
“Very good.”
Xia En said coldly: “Feiya!”
"Yes!"
"Baptize it with sacred steam!"
Fei Ya didn't think much and responded decisively: "Yes!"
As for the existence of the evil sect, Of course, you have to use the Holy to deal with it, which is where the priest is useful.
However, after Feiya purified it with steam, the crystal coffin still showed no response.
Xia En was not surprised. He took out the iron chains on the ship and tied the crystal coffin tightly several times to ensure that the lid of the coffin would not open. He also hung several heavy objects on it. Afterwards, he drove the [Black Swan] to the sea some distance away from the island.
Boom!
Xia En kicked the crystal coffin off the deck.
The coffin fell straight into the sea, causing a splash of water, and then slowly sank into deeper water.
It wasn't until the shadow of the crystal coffin was no longer visible that Xia En relaxed a little, returned to the ship, and docked on the shore of the isolated island.
Joy asked curiously: "Mr. Captain, is that coffin really so dangerous?"
"I think it's not as scary as the cannons on the ship, it's quite good. "Honestly."
Xia En said seriously: "You can never make a mistake until it shows its dangerous side."
Then he gave the order to the crew: "Before [Black Swan] recovers, we need to rest on this island for a while."
"Fei Ya, see if you can use the [Youjin] you got earlier to repair the hull."
"An, you and Joey are responsible for going to the island to hunt and collect food and wood. Pay attention. Act within your ability and seek help as soon as possible when encountering an invincible beast."
"Xiange, continue to decipher the magic notebook and record the spells."
Everyone. The crew members responded one after another: "Yes, Captain!"
There is no idle person on the [Black Swan], everyone has their own things to do.
Xia En smiled: "However, everyone should be tired today. Let's go to bed early after dinner."
The experience of this day was quite exciting and thrilling.
First the pursuit and escape battle with the "Blood Duke", and then the exploration of the mysterious island. Even with Xia En's nerves being tenacious, it was inevitable that he would feel a little tired.
But before taking a break, he had one last thing to do.
Soon, Shane came to the turbine room deep in the cabin.
Not far away, the steam turbine was sitting there quietly, without making the same "grunt" sound as usual to welcome his arrival.
Due to the side effects of [Overload], it fell into a dormant state.
"Xiao Zhan, you have worked really hard today."
Xia En touched the shell of the steam turbine and said softly: "As a reward, I will make you stronger!"
The next moment.
The dark and mysterious [Filth Crystal] was injected into the steam turbine's body along his palm.
A strange transformation began to happen slowly.
【Crystal of filth -50! 】
【Estimated strengthening time: 7 days! 】
What Xia En has to do is very simple, which is to complete the strengthening of several components while the [Black Swan] is docked on the island.
Again, any resource is meaningful only if it is converted into combat power.
I have been sailing at sea for a while, and there is no chance to strengthen.
Now that we finally have a chance to reach the shore, we naturally need to strengthen it hard.
Subsequently, Xia En followed suit and strengthened the keel and artillery.
【Heavy Whispering Defense Cannon (+)】
[Crystal of filth -40! 】
【Estimated strengthening time: 7 days! 】
……
[Dark Secret Dragon Bone (+)]
[Filth Crystal-60]
[Estimated strengthening time: 10 days! 】
……
Because [Storm Ray Sail] and [Sea Crystal Wooden Hull] were damaged in the previous naval battle, they cannot be strengthened temporarily.
Xia En had no choice but to reserve 109 points of filthy crystals, ready to use them when he stopped at the next island.
As the power of [Filth Crystal] enters these components.
The obscure and profound light and shadow flow and linger on them, urging them to change in a more mysterious and weird direction.
Xia En's eyes flashed with excitement and anticipation.
This time he invested almost twice as much [Filth Crystal] as last time.
Obviously it will bring him a lot of surprises.
But suddenly, Joey’s exclamation came from above the cabin.
"Mr. Captain, it's not good!"
Xia En's heart jumped suddenly, he walked out of the cabin quickly and looked up.
On the deck, a crystal coffin was lying there peacefully, just like before.
