Chapter 161 Legendary Talent——[Second Ship Soul]!
Boom——
A sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami exploded in Xia En’s mind.
It is like the call of sailors, mixed with the desolate boat song and the invisible stormy waves.
However, what is different from the previous upgrades is that there seem to be two similar but different voices echoing in Shane's ears.
It was as if... the end of his soul split into two branches.
One piece was given to the [Black Swan].
The other one extends into the void, and there is currently no existence connected to it.
[Black Swan's "firepower" +2! 】
【"Speed" +2! 】
["Sturdiness" +2! 】
【"Mysterious" +2! 】
The mysterious secret power flows into Xia En's body, subtly nourishing every strand of his flesh and blood, and slowly precipitating into a more powerful force.
At this time, all attributes of [Black Swan] finally exceeded the 50 mark.
This means that Xia En can use [Ship Heart] to upgrade the hull for the second time!
But now, what he cares more about is the newly unlocked talents after the ship soul level is upgraded.
[Unlock Talent: Second Ship Soul]
[Quality: Legend]
[Description: Through unremitting efforts, your bond with the "Black Swan" A new stage has been reached. 】
【Now, you can bind a second ship of your own! 】
[The bound ship can synchronize the effect of "Captain's Majesty". 】
【But the bond with the new ship soul also needs to be cultivated gradually. 】
【When its ship soul level is increased, it can enjoy talents such as "Ship Soul Synchronization", "Submarine Anchor" and "Ship Heart". 】
【Double ship soul, double happiness! 】
“Hiss...”
The moment he read this description, Xia En couldn't help but take a breath.
Golden Legend!
There is no doubt that this talent is the ability to bind a second ship that he has been thinking about for a long time.
The strength of this talent is obvious.
Powerful, no need to say more!
Just the attributes that [Captain’s Majesty] can increase are exaggerated enough.
[Black Swan] Although it has become very extraordinary after several enhancements by Shane, its starting point is really too low.
——A small boat that could only sell for more than 300 silver snake coins, do you still think how powerful it is?
If feelings hadn't developed while getting along, and the ship couldn't be changed after being bound...
Xia En might have been like some captains and directly purchased a larger, more durable ship. Strong ship.
But now, Xia En does not need to train this second ship from scratch. He can completely bind it to an already powerful ship.
In this way, his strength will complete a huge surge!
In addition to attributes, what surprises Xia En even more is that talents such as [Ship Soul Synchronization] can also be used on newly bound ships.
If you use [Communication Ship Soul], wouldn’t it be possible to achieve double blessings from the two ship souls?
After a new ship unlocks [Submarine Anchors], will the number of [Anchors] also increase?
And, after that, Shane can put the two ships on different reinforcement routes.
For example, let the [Black Swan] focus on the [Life] trait; let the new ship focus on the [Mystery] trait.
Children make choices, of course adults do——
I want them all!
Just imagining these situations made Xia En feel overwhelmed and excited.
"It's a pity that the [Blood Duke] was directly sunk by me. If I could have survived until now..."
Xia En sighed regretfully.
He never imagined at that time that he would acquire such a talent as [Second Ship Soul] so quickly.
But then I thought about it.
Even if the [Blood Duke] had not been sunk, Xia En would not have been able to blitz Duke Island and Silver Moon Island with so many burdens and prisoners.
There is a high probability that he will package it and sell it in the Insanity Islands.
It can only be said that Xia En and the "Blood Duke" are destined to be destined to be together.
The other big ship that moved Xia En's heart was the ghost ship in the foggy sea - [Diamond Star]!
As the legendary ship regarded as "Noah's Ark", its attributes are powerful enough in all aspects.
Not to mention, now it has become a ghost ship that cannot be described by common sense.
Of course, there is also a little bit of Xia En's selfishness in this.
——Please, that’s a ghost ship!
Super cool!
What captain has not dreamed of sailing a ghost ship across the sea?
But, then again, [Lenglie Sea] is too far away from the Mist Sea.
If you want to see the Diamond Star again, it will probably take a month or two.
From the perspective of real-time combat power, perhaps it would be more appropriate to find a large ship nearby for binding?
After thinking carefully, Xia En felt that there was no need to be so anxious about binding a new ship.
This kind of mentality is a bit like "refreshing the initial number" when playing mobile games.
Although the initial account you have to refresh has to be practiced from scratch, the level of starting also affects a period of time. gaming experience within a certain period of time.
To use an analogy.
[Black Swan] is like an R-level character drawn when the server was launched. It has broken through the original limitations through a series of training and has the potential of SSR.
Now that I can bind a second ship, I naturally hope to create an SSR character with both potential and strength, and I don’t want to just find a ship to bind to.
Soon, Xia En calmed down his ups and downs of thoughts and returned his attention to reality.
At this time, the seawater in front of him was still filled with endless humanoid ashes struggling and squirming from the volcanic ash.
But beside him, there was also a lot of extinguished dust.
This is exactly the trace left after the "death" of those humanoid embers.
Seeing this scene, the remaining humanoid embers looked at Xia En and murmured in subtle changes.
“He can kill us…”
“He can put out our fire…”
"That's great..."
They miraculously regained their sanity temporarily, and those crazy roars even turned into humble pleas.
"Please, take away my fire..."
"I've had enough..."
At this moment, it's not so much Xia En In absorbing the secret power of the embers in their bodies, it would be better to say that they were scrambling to send this power into Xia En's body.
The efficiency of absorption is naturally extremely high, but the price is that the burning pain in Xia En's body becomes more intense.
The power of the ship soul has also dropped to an extremely dangerous number.
At this time, a squirming, female-like ember figure led a short figure and swam in front of Xia En.
"I ask you to help this child escape from the endless suffering..."
To be honest, Shane is also suffering unprecedented pain now.
Every part of the body seemed to be burning in invisible flames.
If the projected body had flesh and blood, most of the flesh, flesh and bones would have melted and then been burned until they solidified.
The [Chaos Demonic Patterns] on his body also glowed dark red, and severe swelling and pain continued to occur.
Obviously, the magic pattern's ability to accommodate secret power has its upper limit.
Such a violent influx was challenging its limits again and again, so much so that Xia En had the illusion that he was about to be torn apart by the magic lines spreading all over his body.
It seemed like he was about to explode and die in the next moment.
But before that, Xia En still stretched out his hand to the two embers in front of him.
An invisible heat flowed from the mother and son into Xia En's body. The dark red color on their bodies gradually dissipated, and the strange flame finally went out.
The mother whispered: "Thank you, kindhearted person..."
Then, the two bodies collapsed.
And Xia En also felt that the heat in his body had reached its limit. He looked down and found that his skin had become transparent and began to be gradually infected by embers.
Like a firefly, his body ignited fire and overflowed with light——
Among the countless ashes, this projection body also became part of them.
……
...
【Submarine is over! 】
【Please choose your trophy! ]
[1. Embers and Dust]
In the captain's cabin, Xia En opened his eyes, with a faint dark red halo remaining in his eyes.
"Huh..."
He exhaled a long breath and murmured with lingering fear: "This is the first time for me to die in this way in so many submersibles."
Secret by Embers The burning pain seemed to still linger in various parts of his body and had not subsided.
However, although this [submarine] experience was torture, the rewards were also extremely rich.
Just raising the level of the ship soul to LV5 brought Xia En enough surprise.
Of course, Shane's improvement doesn't stop there.
He took off his shirt and looked at himself in the mirror.
I saw that on that beautiful body with streamlined muscles, dark red lines emerged extremely clearly, spreading all over the chest and limbs.
It adds a bit of enchantment to this already toned body.
Looking carefully, those lines seem to be still slightly squirming and changing with the flow of blood, with a texture that sucks other people's souls into them.
The secret power, as hot as magma, is contained in it and flows slowly.
Extremely terrifying power can be unleashed at any time.
[Talent: Chaos Demon Pattern (rare) → (precious)! 】
Seeing this line of prompts, Xia En couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
One dive raised this talent to three levels!
The magnitude of this leap is no exaggeration.
Xia En stretched out his finger, and with a thought, a small flame was generated on his fingertip.
He had a hunch that if he used all his strength to activate the magic patterns on his body, the flames would immediately turn into a fire that burned down a town!
“Hoo!”
Xia En blew gently and extinguished the flames.
He was not reckless enough to test this ability on the Black Swan.
But obviously, he has added an attack method that is different from numerical crushing that is at the bottom of the box.
After experiencing his stronger body for a while, Xia En calmed down and recalled the [Emerald Ancient City] he had just seen, and many doubts arose in his mind.
First of all, there is this weird [Secret Power of Embers].
Do normal volcanic eruptions and even burial of volcanic ash really cause victims to endure endless burning?
Either that or the volcano itself is abnormal.
Either this is not an ordinary volcanic eruption at all, but a long-planned massacre!
Someone wants to use this [Secret Power of Ember] to plunge the entire residents of [Emerald Ancient City] into this never-ending purgatory on earth.
Xia En couldn't help but feel a little numb when thinking about this possibility.
What kind of hatred is this that makes people do such crazy things?
On the other hand.
[Secret Power of Ember], coupled with the restless [Certificate of King Xin], naturally reminded Xia En of the king who left behind [Treasure of Ember] - King Xin!
Could this secret power be his handiwork?
Although it was just an intuition, Xia En instinctively denied this conjecture.
The man in his memory who burned himself like firewood on the Throne of Fire should not do such a thing.
The last doubt is...
According to legend, there is a civilization of elves buried under the cold sea, but according to Xia En's observation, the humanoid embers in the [Emerald City] seem to be just ordinary humans.
The architectural style does not reveal the uniqueness of the elves...
Squeak——
While Shane was thinking about these issues, the captain’s cabin The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Along with it, there was Joey's questioning voice.
"Mr. Captain, I'm coming in~"
"...?!"
Xia En was stunned for a moment and had not yet reacted.
My eyes collided with the little head with white hair and red eyes that poked in from the door.
Looking at Shane, who was shirtless, showing off his beautiful body, and Joey, who was wearing a furry fox fur coat, his cheeks quickly turned from white to red.
Soon, even the roots of the ears were dyed crimson.
......I really want to touch it.
Such an idea suddenly popped into Joey's mind.
‘How, how could this be possible! That's the respected captain! This is so...so shameless! ’
She shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel the reverie in her heart.
Although Joey and Shane had bathed together intimately when they were on the Ancestor Island in the Siren Archipelago, and they had also seen those smooth and graceful muscle lines.
But at that time, Xia En was still wearing thin clothes out of etiquette.
Moreover, the feeling of active display and accidental bumping are completely different.
It’s like something good happened suddenly today.
Not to mention, the dark red and strange lines amplified Xia En's inherent "charming" temperament.
Especially the sunken lines in the gaps between the abdominal muscles are inexplicably attractive.
Seeing Joey staring at his abs, Shane didn't quite understand.
Is this thing really that special for women?
"...cough cough."
Xia En coughed twice and reminded: "Joy, why did you come in suddenly?"
"Ah!"
Joy suddenly came back to his senses and quickly waved his little hands to explain.
"It was Mr. Knight who reminded me that Captain, you may be suffering from some kind of pain, so let me come to the captain's cabin to have a look."
"I have knocked on the door before, but Mr. Captain There was no response to me. In desperation, I..."
After hearing this, Xia En understood clearly.
An has the talent of [Knight’s Protection].
I am afraid that when Xia En was absorbing the [Secret Power of Embers], some of his mental pain was shared by him, and he became aware of it.
As for the fact that he did not hear the knock on the door, it was also because the level of the ship soul had increased and the impact of the [Secret Power of Ember] was too strong.
Thinking of this, Xia En comforted and said: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Joey breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Xia En still looked at her and reminded her carefully: "I'm going to change clothes, can you go out first?"
But suddenly, at this moment.
Cang! clang! clang!
A rapid alarm bell sounded on the deck, causing the two men's expressions to change suddenly.
Shane immediately put on a coat and rushed to the deck with Joey.
When they arrived on the deck, the sight in front of them made Xia En frown slightly.
I saw that the ice sheet on the sea was cracking.
One after another, the sea beasts covered with magic patterns smashed the glaciers, gnawed the ice crystals, and crawled out of the ice.
They let out a thunderous roar and rushed towards the [Black Swan] like a tide!
