We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

[Kill the alienated sea bass]

[Trophy obtained: fresh sea bass carcasses]

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

After a not-so-troublesome battle, the king of the fish school died in Xia En's hands with hatred, and the rest of the fish school fled in all directions.

This King Bass is an alienated sea fish on the same level as the alienated saw shark.

In the past, Xia En could blow the saw shark's head off with one punch, but now it is easy to destroy a bass king.

The only thing that surprised him was that the Bass King also revealed secret sea crystals with the [Special] suffix.

"What kind of talent will this secret sea crystal bring?"

After thinking for a moment, Xia En decisively chose to absorb.

A familiar warmth flowed through.

But in consciousness, Black Swan's gratitude seems to have become clearer?

Could it be said that as the level of the ship's soul increases, the ship's soul of the Black Swan will grow up like a human and have richer emotions?

Although this is just a guess, Xia En feels it is very possible.

"Xiao Hei, you have to grow up quickly and let the enemy see our exciting combination skills in the future!"

Encouraging the Black Swan's ship spirit in his heart, Xia En looked at the panel.

[Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (13%)]

[Unlock talent: Hardened epidermis]

[Quality: Poor]

[Description: You can make part of your skin tough to withstand incoming attacks. 】

[When this ability reaches its peak, maybe you can catch the bullet with your face, right? 】

Better than no talent.

Shane glanced at the description twice and immediately came to a conclusion.

Judging from the fact that the Sea Bass King was beaten to death by him with a few punches, the degree of "hardening" of the epidermis was obviously extremely limited.

Say it is useful, but it seems to be of no use. Say it is useless, but it is of some use at critical moments.

However, the output of this talent shows that the [special] [Secret Sea Crystal] is actually not that rare.

The explosion rate is still quite high!

Xia En forcibly comforted himself and turned to look at the fish that had not yet had time to run away.

In addition to the sea bass king, there seemed to be one or two alienated sea fish in the fish school.

These are all experience points gained from walking, so you can’t let go!

I have to say that what An said before about "not letting Lord Xia En enjoy himself" was not entirely wrong.

When competing with his own crew members, it was impossible to make a real killing blow, so Xia En had been holding back his strength until the point was reached.

But it's different in the submersible state. Xia En can do everything he can without worrying about exposing his strength, and he has the pleasure of breaking free from the cage.

To be exaggerated...

The whole sea is his hunting ground!

With the blessing of powerful attributes, Xia En swept through schools of fish, flattened crabs on the bottom of the sea, and tore up seaweed.

Even the shells on the roadside have to be kicked.

It's very similar to the situation when I was a kid and swept across ten miles of cauliflower fields with a wooden stick.

After a while, the energy was almost exhausted.

Shane hung the mouth of the Sea Bass King on the hook he cast, and then his consciousness returned to his original body on the deck.

His eyes narrowed: "A big fish is about to take the bait!"

Immediately, under the shocked eyes of An and Joey, a three-meter-long sea bass was taken out of the sea by a fishhook!

With a "pop" sound, the sea bass hit the deck hard.

This scene is quite visually impactful.

Joey whispered to Ann: "It's about to start again! Mr. Captain's great harvest!"

【What's the meaning? 】

Ann wrote curiously.

Joey explained: "The captain usually can only catch some weird things, but sometimes he gets lucky and catches huge seafood one after another."

An looked at the sea bass with a dead look on his face, with a strange expression under his helmet.

Why does this fish look like it was beaten to death with a fist?

Then, just as Joey said, several more big fish were caught on the boat one after another. The strange thing is that they all seemed to have died of trauma.

Smart Ann chose not to dwell on this issue.

That night, with Joey cooking, three people on the boat enjoyed a delicious seabass dinner.

What surprised Shane was that Ann didn't take off his helmet even when eating. He only made a small opening and then used a spoon to transport the food in.

…

…

Peaceful days are always extremely short.

After increasing its speed, the Black Swan arrived at its destination in just three days——

The sea area where the Coral City is located.

On the deck, Shane took the Coral City map he bought from Duke Island and compared it with the blurry treasure map.

Coral City has been submerged for so many years, and groups of seniors have searched for it. This new map was explored with their lives.

Xia En spent a full 50 silver snake coins to buy it from Bi Si.

Although it's a little expensive, he thinks it's worth the price.

From the map, it is not difficult to see.

The Coral City is very large and is divided into Upper Town and Lower Town.

The upper city area mainly houses important facilities such as colleges, royal castles, and cathedrals, while the lower city area contains factories, residential areas, and commercial streets.

Unfortunately, the treasure map recording the location of the "Ember Treasure" is too vague.

Shane could just barely make out a church near the landmark it mapped.

But on the existing map, there are no less than ten churches. They are all suspected treasure hiding places and need to be investigated one by one.

"Then take your time."

This time out to sea, Xia En was very patient.

There is no loan contract weighing on the head, and there are sufficient supplies.

Just consume it slowly.

The captain of the previous shipwreck had found the location of the [Ember Treasure], so there was no reason why he couldn’t find it himself!

Moreover, during the investigation process, there will definitely be other gains.

Shane glanced at the map again, memorizing the contents on it, then returned to the captain's cabin, sat on the captain's chair, and closed his eyes.

[The projection will be based on the current position of the ship. 】

【Start diving? 】

"yes."

The next moment, Xia En opened his eyes under the sea.

Only this time, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

coral!

Everything you see is colorful coral!

They come in all kinds of strange shapes, or they are spherical with holes;

Or it has weird patterns like the cerebral cortex;

Or the wriggling tentacles, protruding arms and legs...

Colorful corals occupy every corner of the field of vision like a carpet of bacteria. They are piled up layer by layer, and only the outline of the original building can be vaguely seen.

Those steepled churches, flat roads, neat houses... remnants of the old era are all covered by an unusually large amount of coral.

Like a diseased parasite, it absorbs nutrients from the remains of the entire city.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, this is a very beautiful scenery.

But for some reason, Xia En only felt creepy.

It seems that beneath the dead, colorful coral, there is some kind of terrifying malice that transcends human cognition!
