Chapter 167: Binding the second ship, overall quality 2.4! (Please ask for a guaranteed monthly pass at the beginning of the month!)
Xia En and Fei Ya stood at the end of the stairs leading to the bilge, and what they saw was a strange sight that they could not forget -
Like the night sky The secret sea water flowing like a star river is accumulating at the bottom of the cabin, spreading out endless dark light.
The interior of the hull on all sides is also covered with cracks and wounds similar to the outer layer.
From the cracks, extremely distant light that seems to come from the stars is continuously seeping out, illuminating the surrounding area.
This makes this enclosed cabin space appear extremely mysterious and profound.
Not far away.
The girl with silver-white hair has already stepped into the dark sea water with one foot.
The water of the secret sea covered her white ankles, and the rolling ripples gently licked her slender calves.
"Joey, stop!"
Shane said with a frown.
But at this time, the girl just stared blankly at the depths of the sea, and continued to move forward as if she had been inspired by something.
Seeing this, Xia En suddenly realized that something was wrong with the situation, and immediately stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and grabbed Joey's wrist.
"Joy, wake up! Are you okay?"
Suddenly his little hand was held, Joey quickly came to his senses and realized that he had fallen into in danger.
She quickly retreated to the floor where there was no sea water, looked at the sea water in front of her with lingering fear, and explained.
"I was just waiting for you to come down by the stairs, and suddenly I heard a voice coming from the sea."
"It was a very kind voice, as if calling me... "
"And then, Mr. Captain, you are here. "
Until then, there was still a bit of confusion and intoxication in the girl's eyes, which showed the temptation of the voice deep in the sea. Powerful.
Xia En frowned and looked in front of him.
Because the sea water is dark in color, it is difficult to see the depth of the sea water.
This also led him to an almost absurd conjecture.
——Perhaps this is not just a piece of stagnant water, but a real [Secret Sea]?
In other words, this is a passage to the [Secret Sea]! ?
As long as you dive into this sea water, can you reach the [Secret Sea] in another dimension?
This guess sounds incredible at first, but if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible.
After all, Xia Enke has never heard of anyone who can bring the water of the [Secret Sea] back to reality!
And if it is the real [Secret Sea], then it would not be surprising no matter how weird and terrifying there are in it.
On the side, Fei Ya is also a first-class smart person. He quickly recalled the sea he saw during the promotion ritual and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"This is...water from the secret sea?"
"But why is it accumulated deep in this cabin?"
"No, it is not necessarily accumulated..."
After thinking for a moment, Feiya bit her fingertips.
A drop of pale golden blood flowed from the wound and dripped onto the water.
As a transformed "holy blood species", Feiya also has strong control over her own blood.
At this time, the blood dripped into the seawater, but it did not spread like ordinary liquids, but kept sinking and sinking again.
"Three meters...five meters...ten meters...twenty meters..."
As the blood in the perception continued to go away, Fei Ya's face turned slightly pale, and at the same time A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
In just a moment, this drop of blood sank to a depth of tens of meters.
It has even exceeded the height of this big ship!
And, right now.
A strong warning signal surged up from Feiya's soul.
Although Feiya didn't know why this early warning was generated, he still chose to trust his instinct and disconnected from this drop of blood as quickly as possible.
Under the pitch-black sea water, a huge object with an unclear outline swayed and quietly came to the side of the pale golden blood.
Countless pairs of yellowed eyeballs were looming under the starlight.
Then, a thick, barbed tongue protruded from the eyeball, rolled it gently, and swallowed the drop of blood into his belly!
"Huh...huh!"
Feiya opened her eyes suddenly, but her face turned pale and sweat broke out on her forehead.
He felt like he was on the verge of life and death just now.
But he still said quickly: "This sea water... is very deep!"
"Maybe it is really connected to the [Secret Sea]!"
Xia En looked at Fei Ya. With a serious expression on his face, he warned: "This sea water is not something we can explore now. We must not explore it rashly again."
"After that, we must also inform other crew members of this order."
“Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!”
Fei Ya and Joey both looked solemn and responded.
“Yes, Captain!”
Soon, Shane led the two of them up the stairs, and even took out a piece of wood to prepare for the passage leading to the lowest cabin. The passage is sealed.
In fact.
At this point, Xia En has some guesses about the origin of the [Diamond Star] and this small [Secret Sea].
According to legend, the Diamond Star accidentally disappeared while out at sea.
When it reappeared, it became a ghost ship wandering on the seven seas.
So, is it possible that the reason for its disappearance is that it was involved in the [Secret Sea]?
On the [Secret Sea], no matter what happens, there will be no surprises.
It was originally a space where time and space were chaotic and not bound by common sense.
This can also explain why there is such a projection of the [Diamond Star], and the bottom of this ship is closely connected to the [Secret Sea]!
But then again.
Not to mention that this is just Xia En’s guess.
Even if Xia En's guess comes true, there is nothing he can do now.
Is it possible that he still wants to physically dive into this sea water to explore its secrets?
What if this is a one-way portal?
If you dive in, you will never come back!
As the saying goes, you still need to be tough to strike!
Even if Xia En is now a third-level Mystic Pathfinder, in a place as terrifying as the [Secret Sea], going into the sea to explore in person is undoubtedly asking for death!
Not to mention, the other crew members on the ship.
Just the probing by Fei Ya and Joey just now made Xia En feel frightened.
At least at this stage.
The only way Xia En can explore the [Secret Sea] is to use the talent of [Deep Sea Scuba Diving].
But the problem comes again.
This [Secret Sea] is located in the cabin. It does not seem to be sailing on the [Secret Sea], and it is not certain whether the effect of [Submarine] can be triggered.
No matter what, it is always right to seal this passage temporarily.
……
……
It didn’t take long.
The three returned to the deck.
Xia En handed over the interrogation work to several crew members and walked to the platform where the rudder was.
He has not forgotten.
In this battle, my biggest gain is none other than the [Diamond Star] under my feet!
Although the surface of this ship is in tatters, there are still a lot of cracks and wounds, and it is no longer as heroic as it used to be.
But its size is here after all. The towering side of the ship and the flat deck still have "the charm"!
Moreover, Xia En had just looked deep into the cabin. The keel of the entire ship is well preserved, as if there is a special force keeping it from falling apart.
This is why the ship looks shaky but can still sail on the sea.
For the villagers on the ice and snow island.
They had neither the materials nor the technology to repair the ship.
Therefore, we can only let the ship continue to be dilapidated, and we have to try to snatch foreign ships to leave this cage-like island.
But Xia En is different!
To him, these scars on the surface of the hull are just minor injuries!
As long as the [Ship Soul Level] is raised to LV2 and the talent of [Ship Soul Synchronization] is unlocked, these injuries can be healed naturally.
By then, how much increase can a [Diamond Star] in its prime state bring to Xia En's attributes?
The last and most critical factor is——
Xia En has long been coveting the ghost ship in the foggy sea.
If you bring this specious [Diamond Star] to it, how will it react?
Thinking of this, Xia En felt a little more hopeful.
Immediately, he no longer hesitated and stretched out his hand directly to hold the old rudder.
[Should "Diamond Star (Incomplete)" be bound as the second ship? 】
【Cannot be changed after binding! 】
“Yes!”
Xia En’s mind moved.
The next moment, a sudden change occurred!
Indistinct murmurs and whispers continued to reach his ears and echoed in his mind.
It's like...
Many people were awakened from their slumber. They didn't know what happened for a while, so they could only vent their dissatisfaction in whispers.
But soon, Xia En’s consciousness spread to all directions of the ship like roots.
The sound became louder and noisier at an extremely fast speed, gradually forming a momentum like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.
That was the sound made by the deck, masts, cables, cannons... and even every part on the ship.
It is different from the energetic and young components on the [Black Swan].
The parts that make up the [Diamond Star] are very old, and some are even decayed and rusty.
But at this time, after being awakened, they also let out their own roars, like awakening lions!
Xia En could even hear a mixture of unyielding, unwillingness and anger in this voice.
This unyielding and anger is naturally not directed at Xia En, but seems to be directed at a life-and-death enemy who injured it like this!
"Do you want revenge?"
Xia En secretly said in his heart: "Then, accept me as your master!"
"I will satisfy you as the captain My long-cherished wish!”
Buzz…
Under the astonished gazes of Joey, the others, and the villagers, the deck of the Diamond Star began to tremble.
The tattered sails on the mast moved without wind, the cannonballs beside the cannon rolled gently, and the vast barcarolle seemed to be coming from a very far away place...
All signs were there. It shows that the ship has awakened from its slumber and taken on a new lease of life.
Gray, who was tied up, clearly noticed this, and his eyes couldn't help but become duller.
He was increasingly puzzled, why was it that everyone was sailing the boat, but when the boat was in Xia En's hands, it could develop even more magical properties?
at the same time.
In front of the steering wheel.
In Xia En's consciousness, an invisible bond seemed to extend, allowing him to establish an indescribable and wonderful connection from the soul with the ship.
It also makes their fate completely independent of each other.
The most amazing thing is that this bond is not only connected to the [Diamond Star], but also faintly extends to a certain sea in the distance.
"Sure enough, there is some kind of connection between it and the ghost ship!"
Xia En couldn't help but smile on his face.
Immediately, he opened the panel to check.
[Second Ship: Diamond Star (Incomplete)]
[Type: Three-masted sailing ship]
[Size: Large]
[Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (0%)]
[Attributes: Firepower 36, Speed 10, Sturdy 22, Mystery 0]
[ Durability: 25/500 (the entire ship was severely damaged)]
[Note: You can find another "Diamond Star" to complete its hull and soul. 】
To be fair, of the several attributes currently displayed by the [Diamond Star], only [firepower] is pretty good.
But don’t forget, this is its attribute when it is in a “severely damaged” condition.
The sails and hull of the ship are in such tatters, but it still has this value, which is quite good.
As for the last comment on the panel, it made Xia En's heart beat loudly.
Could it be said that this ship can merge with the ghost ship in the foggy sea and transform into a more powerful form?
Not waiting for Shane to think more.
A powerful stream of heat suddenly gurgled out from his heart, slamming into his whole body like a big river.
The improvement brought by [Captain’s Majesty] this time can be called the most drastic one since several enhancements.
Xia En clearly felt that his muscles became stronger, his bones became denser, and his body became lighter.
The waving of his hands and feet was filled with endless energy.
Until this heavenly enjoyment gradually fades.
Xia En was also able to see the values on the panel jumping.
[Comprehensive quality: 1.75→2.4! 】
A full 0.65 improvement!
Xia En's lips curled up into a smile, intoxicated by the surging power in his body.
This improvement also allowed him to instantly break through the comprehensive quality level of 2!
At this time, Xia En actually had a clearer understanding of the evaluation criterion of comprehensive quality.
The overall quality of the Secret Pather who has just entered the third level is about 0.5.
As for someone with a special bloodline like the village chief of Ruhr, the overall quality should only be above 1.
But now, Xia En’s value is 2.4!
In a life-and-death fight, if it's a little higher, it's already infinitely higher.
What's more, the gap is more than twice.
If he were to face Ruhr again, he would probably be defeated with just one move.
Xia En thought to himself: "Now, maybe I can compete with the fourth-level Mystic Path?"
And he knew that the people from the [Diamond Star] The bonuses don’t stop there.
When the ship's hull gradually heals itself, its attributes will continue to advance rapidly!
The only regret is that the [Diamond Star] at this time does not have a real ship soul.
It is probably not realistic to use the superposition effect of [Communication Ship Soul].
While Xia En was thinking.
Chila...Chila...
Not far away on the sea, there was a unique sound of water, like the sound of sea water being evaporated.
Xia En looked intently and saw a bright fire floating in the sea.
Who is it if it’s not Yan Yan?
