We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 64 [Ancient Dragon Egg]

This boat song has been passed down from who knows when, and the singing is rough and hoarse, ancient and desolate.

In a daze, Shane saw some visions that seemed like hallucinations.

An elderly captain stepped off his ship.

Around him were countless shadowy figures, whispering and talking, their words filled with emotions so chaotic they were hard to discern.

Surrounded by them, the old captain ascended the high platform.

However, it was not a promised land like a throne, but a towering guillotine!
The sharp blade gleamed coldly in the dim light.

But once he reached the platform, the old captain smiled and began to sing a boat song in his hoarse voice.

In the crowd, some people hummed along to the song, while others shouted angrily.

Regardless of the reactions of others, the blade of the guillotine continued to fall downwards without stopping.

Just a second before the blade was about to slice through the old captain's neck.

Master! What's wrong?

Wake up!

Xiao Hei's shouts echoed in my mind.

At the same time, Xia En instinctively sensed immense danger and bit his tongue hard, using the pain to wake himself up.

He looked around and found that he was still in a closed and quiet room, without a single person in sight.

"That was just now..."

Soon, Shane felt something strange on the back of his neck and reached down to touch it.

There was a cut on the black robe there, and to be precise, not only the black robe, but also the skin under the black robe had a shallow wound.

If this weren't a projection, Shane might have been able to touch some crimson blood.

"If I hadn't woken up in time, my head really would have been chopped off!"

Xia En felt a chill run down his spine.

It is obvious that this eerie boat song is the true nature of the so-called "curse"!
Moreover, this boat song seems to have a contagious nature; anyone who has heard or sung it will either be beheaded or beheaded.

"What a weird thing!"

Xia En cursed under his breath, became extremely vigilant, and quickly walked out of the room.

There should be information about room A06 at the entrance.

【A06 - Decapitation Phonograph】

[A phonograph recording the barcarolle sung by Augustine Novich during his execution.]

This object constantly yearns for its old master, endlessly repeating the song from that day. Anyone who hears the boat song may fall into the hallucination of being beheaded.

Those with weaker wills will be assimilated by the phonograph, spreading the "ship's song pollution."

[Weakness: The phonograph itself]

Augustine Novich – a legendary pirate, master of the Black Sails Fleet, and king of a maritime principality.

When I was young, people often compared me to him, but as I grew up, those comparisons decreased significantly.

"He is but a mortal king born in an era before me. —Lord of Cinder"

"……phonograph?"

Xia En's expression was strange. He had thought A06 was some kind of dangerous and ferocious monster, but it turned out to be just an ancient object.

If I had to be honest, it would probably be considered a [forbidden relic]!
"Wait, if it's a relic..."

Xia En glanced at the half-open door of A06 and ultimately gave up his bold idea of ​​taking it with him.

If used properly, this artifact could be a deadly weapon.

However, Xia En has not yet mastered how to use it effectively.

"If one day we can make this kind of pollution from boat songs controllable, perhaps there will be a chance to bring it back into the light of day."

At this moment, Xia En became bolder.

Although most of the items in Category A are extremely dangerous, there are also treasures like the "Immortal Ganoderma," where the benefits outweigh the risks.

It's not impossible to find one or two less dangerous "forbidden artifacts" among them!

Thinking of this, Xia En instantly perked up and began searching along the corridor one by one.

Upon closer inspection, a pleasant surprise was indeed revealed.

【A07-Unlimited Fried Fish】【Fried cod that can self-replicate and multiply in a specific container, but the total amount multiplied at one time will not exceed the container holding it.】

[Can be used as emergency food if necessary.]

[A side effect is that after eating this fried fish, you will not have an appetite for any other food for a period of time.]

[Weakness: A big eater?]

……

【A08-The Magic Mirror of Laughter】

[When people look into the magic mirror, they recall happy memories and can't help but laugh out loud, which can help improve depressive moods.]

However, prolonged use may lead to addiction; please try to avoid becoming addicted.

Weakness: Self-control

Shane: "..."

If the existence of the previous Category A was considered sinister, then these few things are absolutely outrageous!

The whole art style is off!
Xia En had originally wanted to see what infinitely replicated fried cod tasted like, but when he opened the door, the fried fish inside had long since disappeared.

It seems it was taken away along with the "Immortal Ganoderma".

Just as Xia En was about to enter room A14, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a scarlet color out of the corner of his eye.

next moment.

Countless tiny fleshy tendrils spread out from the silvery-white floor.

From all directions, disgusting sounds of flesh writhing and grotesque moans echoed.

Xia En's eye twitched.

Clearly, this is some kind of out-of-control Type A being that, upon realizing the arrival of an outsider, finally reacted belatedly and revealed its bizarre and ferocious side!
In the blink of an eye, the ugly fleshy buds coalesced into a fleshy carpet, covering the surrounding walls and floor.

Immediately, countless fleshy tentacles emerged and enveloped Xia En's body!

Without hesitation, Xia En turned and ran deeper into the corridor.

If it were a creature from the ocean, Xia En would fight it to the death for the sake of the [Secret Sea Crystal], but this thing is difficult to kill and offers no benefit.

It's better to save the last bit of ship spirit power and see if we can find anything good.

As he raced forward, all sorts of strange phenomena appeared around Xia En.

There were cries like those of an infant, and a strange, salty smell of seawater.

Yellow and white little figures chuckled in the shadows, their vision filled with countless spores, and a gentle, caressing touch came from behind them...

If I had to describe it, it was like a fantastical world encountered after eating poisonous mushrooms.

In this bizarre sensory experience, Shane couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion for a moment.

Suddenly, he felt some kind of calling from the depths of his being.

Unlike other chaotic auditory hallucinations, this call was exceptionally clear.

Humans, please take me away from here!

Please, I've had enough of this awful place!

Xia En was initially hesitant.

After all, this might also be a trap set by those Class A beings.

But glancing at the (2/100) Ship Soul Power on the panel, he knew he had no time to hesitate.

Following his instincts, Shane cut through the fleshy tentacles in his path and rushed into the room from which the call came.

In the center of the room, on a container, lay a pure white, round egg, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Xia En didn't have time to think and hugged it to her chest.

The next moment, countless wriggling fleshy buds engulfed the projected body.

[Submarine mission over!]

Please choose your loot!
