indescribable cyberpunk.

Chapter 371

The eastern beach of Dillas Harbor is the only place in the entire port area that is not covered by a pier. The reason is that the dense reefs in the sea, coupled with the daily tide fluctuations, make it impossible for larger ships to anchor here. It is obviously not worth the loss to build a pier for small ships, so it has been left idle until now.

Zhu Jue, who stayed at the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce station for half a night, came here under the leadership of the black swan, who told him that the scorching box was kept here.

"Is there a hiding place near here?"

Stepping on the soft gravel on the beach, Zhu Jue held two gems in his hand, looked around the flat sandy shore,

"You don't bury things in the sand like pirates, do you? I know there are no safes in this world. Are there any locked boxes?"

"You misunderstood. The burning box is not stored here because there are no preservation conditions in the harbor, but it must be preserved in the ocean, otherwise accidents will happen."

The black swan had obviously been here a few times, and he took Zhu Jue to the boat moored on the nearby shore by ropes.

"Why do you still have to sit on the bottom of the sea? Are you not afraid of being washed away by the sea?"

Stepping on the edge and stepping onto the bow, Zhu Jue asked without looking back.

"It's not on the bottom of the sea, but it's stored in a specially modified reef, and it doesn't need to go into the sea."

Grabbing the oars, Black Swan glanced at the back of the man in front of him, obviously he couldn't be counted on for the paddling job.

Compared with the real world that has been ravaged by human industrial activities for centuries, the dreamland environment is naturally one heaven and one underground. Zhu Jue tapped the rope on the bow with his left foot, hands behind his back, raised his head, he saw Undoubtedly, it is the bright galaxy all over the sky, with all kinds of nebulae all over the sky curtain. After staring at it for a while, he suddenly raised his hand to the strangely large moon on the horizon in the distance, and said loudly, "No, it makes sense. Is the moon in our world so big, or is it just because I didn't pay much attention to it before, that now I have this strange illusion?"

"The environment of the dreamland is indeed different from the real world. I once heard a strange rumor from the sailors at Dilas Harbor about the moon."

Probably affected by the magnificent scene in front of him, the black swan who was rowing the boat was much more relaxed in his speech, and he still had enough time to gossip.

"Ok?"

"It is rumored that in the far west of this sea, there is a giant basalt pillar. If you cross them, you can see the ultimate waterfall on the edge of the world. As long as you cross it again, you will be able to sail into the starry sky, and naturally you will be able to land on the moon."

"Hahaha~ This statement is a bit interesting, will anyone really believe it?"

As Zhu Jue spoke, he waved his palms, condensing gusts of wind, which wrinkled the sea in front of him and made waves in the starry sky.

"The scientific development in this world is extremely backward, and theology is dominant, so many people believe in this statement, and even many expedition teams have gone to sea to find the location of the ultimate waterfall."

The boat sailed for a certain distance, the black swan recalled the position, and stretched out the paddle to scoop nearby while speaking. It didn't take long to hear a dull slap, and immediately stretched out the paddle, forcing the advancing the boat stopped,

"I found it, the scorching box is hidden here."

Before Zhu Jue could say anything, the black swan walked from the stern to the middle of the boat, rolled up his sleeves, and put his hands into the water. After Zhu Jue came over, he could only see blue electronic lights flickering under the sea surface, followed by a burst of light. Bubbles rose from the sea water, and when the latter pulled his hand back, there was already a storage box in his hand that was exactly the same as the storage box that Zhu Jue used when he entered the dreamland last time.

Naturally, this kind of treasure gentleman can't really use the boxes in this world, and a storage box has already been transported through the space crack.

After repeatedly pressing the password, the storage box was immediately opened in Black Swan's hands, and there was only one thing stored inside.

A palm-sized reddish-brown wooden box covered with many embossed patterns on the surface. No, after Zhu Jue took it out, he realized that it was not a box at all, but more like a wooden statue with a crack in the middle. Shaped somewhat like a box.

"What's in this thing. It can't be opened?"

Holding the upper and lower sides of the wooden box with both hands, Zhu Jue tried to open it while asking, but even though he kept pushing harder, the wooden box remained motionless, as if it was really just a square wooden statue.

"Yes, after the gentleman got it, he tried all methods except violent destruction, so until now we don't know what is stored in it."

"Ah? You don't even know what's in it, so you store it like a treasure. Have you ever seen a treasure?"

Zhu Jue, who was about to take over a treasure with joy, widened his eyes and asked in surprise.

"You misunderstood, this scorching box is a treasure found by a gentleman near the sunken city through a treasure map. Although I don't know what is hidden inside, it is stored in an underwater ruins, and the Dream Eater's side After hearing the news, I mentioned it several times in succession. If it was an ordinary item, it would not attract their attention." In order to find this scorching box, the gentleman personally led the expedition to the sea, before and after the sunken city. After searching the nearby waters for nearly half a month, I found the special ruins with the hidden dangers of mental problems. The gentleman who just got the scorching box was probably in the same mood as Zhu Jue now, but it turned out that it couldn't be opened. Box.

A large amount of resources have been spent, and it must be reluctant to throw them away. In the end, we can only collect them and find a way.

"The sunken city?"

Zhu Jue noticed a noun in Black Swan's words and asked aloud.

"It's an ancient relic in the sea south of the port city of Dylas. Because ships often have accidents nearby, the sailors here also call it the 'City of Silence', which means that as long as you pass through the The area must be kept as quiet as possible to avoid disturbing certain existences sleeping in the ancient ruins. Of course, this is just a legend like the ultimate waterfall, but this ancient ruin has become a similar landmark. "

"So that's the case, but the box can't be opened, so what's the difference between it and trash, you said before that the gentleman got it for a while, so far I still don't have a clue what's going on, why is it hot?"

Zhu Jue was about to ask if there was a way to open the box, but the box in his hand suddenly started to feel hot, not because of the temperature of his palm, but because of the sudden increase in temperature!
"That's why it must be placed in seawater, and that's where it got its name. As long as the Searing Box leaves the ocean, it will start to heat up within a few minutes. The temperature continues to increase, and it is also a diffuse high temperature. Gentleman once did After experimenting, after keeping this state for 5 minutes, it can raise the temperature of the guest room in the station we stayed at by 10 degrees Celsius in just a few minutes, and ignite it quickly, so I suggest you put it back, otherwise In a few moments your hand might hurt."

"No, I'll see how hot it gets."

Zhu Jue raised his hand and pushed back the storage box that Black Swan handed over, continuing to hold the scorching box.

"Mr. President, you are taking a risk, you"

Black Swan is someone who has seen the power of the scorching box, so she naturally knows how dangerous Zhu Jue's actions are. However, just as she opened her mouth, the scene in front of her blocked all the words she wanted to say in her throat.

The scorching box, which was supposed to be red and hot, has turned into a complete ice brick in Zhu Jue's hands!

At this moment, Zhu Jue was standing on the bow of the boat, surrounded by hexagonal ice crystals, and a thin layer of ice had even begun to form on the bow of the boat under his feet, and the airflow between his breaths was like white air flowing in front of him.

"Wait for me here!"

Turning around and stepping away from the wooden boat, the sea under his feet suddenly turned into ice, Zhu Jue frowned, not caring about the terrified wonder on the black swan's face.

Zhu Jue really felt that this so-called "hot box" was continuously spreading huge heat energy outward, and the intensity was still increasing. Correspondingly, he was also gradually increasing his mental power output to fight against it with frost. scorching hot.

As time went by, this confrontation was no longer limited to the small area where Zhu Jue was. From the perspective of the black swan, the sea surface within a dozen meters in front of the wooden boat was now shrouded in white mist.

Alternating hot and cold air waves are coming with the sea breeze, which is a scene she has never seen around the gentleman
After a stalemate for 5 minutes, Zhu Jue walked through the fog and returned to the wooden boat with muttering in his mouth. The scorching box was hanging by the scavengers in the sea water beside him to soak. His eyes fell on the black swan, and he explained: "This box is really unusual. It can heat up to such a degree. The way to go the other way is wrong. There should be other ways to open it. Put it back first. I'll think about it when I go back."

As usual, with Zhu Jue's character, maybe he would fight against the scorching box, but the situation tonight obviously doesn't allow him to do so. After so long, he still didn't feel the slightest difference from the scorching box. In a loose state, some of them are just continuously heating up. Secondly, Zhu Jue doesn't want to make too much noise. Although it is late at night, there is no guarantee that no one will hang out near the port.

The black swan, who was sluggish because of the accident just now, heard Zhu Jue's words, his whole body was excited, and he hurriedly followed suit.

If the looming beast at the door of the gentleman's residence terrified her, then the scene just now completely made it difficult for the black swan to arouse the desire to resist.

The storage box returned to the place where it was stored, and the wooden boat wobbled back to the shore.

After a while.

The breakwater behind the beach.

Some people looked at the returning calm sea with their hands behind their backs.

He clearly sensed its breath, but came here to find nothing.
