You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 426: The Secret Treasure of Origin! Ocean Civilization!

"Siwon is just a piece of trash who knows nothing and is a stubborn old-fashioned person!"

This is the first sentence in Li Jikun’s tomb in the secret collection of Shiyuan.

It is undeniable that every S-class has some flaws to a greater or lesser extent. There are many who think highly of themselves, despise human life, and only pursue justice in results while ignoring justice in process.

But most of the S-level ones have a pattern.

Shiyuan lived for several thousand years of civilization, and for this reason he hollowed out a mountain to hold his treasure.

Siyuan gave enough respect to every S-level.

Even Li Jikun, who was killed by them together and whose body was stolen, was left with an empty grave here.

The epitaph on the grave was written according to Li Jikun's (first) last wishes before his death.

Half of the secret storage area was turned into a cemetery. Several S-class experts from millennia-old civilizations, their research on how to survive the millennium catastrophe, and their experiences and insights, were all written on the stone tablets in front of the tombs.

Trying to provide some small help to those who come later.

Even though Li Jikun's first words were directed at Siwon by name, Siwon still maintained the demeanor of the oldest S-class.

However, many S-level warriors died in the battle, and most of their remains could not be collected, leaving only an empty sarcophagus here.

Among them, Shiyuan's coffin is also here. However, his body was broken into pieces by Chi Ping and contaminated by the fog, so it cannot be retrieved from the fog.

Siwon's epitaph is quite intriguing:

"Maybe I should have died a long time ago."

According to the rules of the world on the other side of the gate, once the monitor of the catastrophe dies, the catastrophe will begin to gradually subside.

Siyuan also realized this, that his own death was the key to preventing the Millennium Catastrophe. However, once he said it out loud, he would become the public enemy of all S-class.

Therefore, he chose to work with other S-class to find other ways to survive the millennium catastrophe.

The stone tablet next to him, which recorded how to survive the thousand-year catastrophe, was blank. He didn't seem to want to reveal his core information, and he also wanted to survive.

So, behind this blank stone tablet, there is a line of small words.

It wasn't any contemporary writing system, but rather a script from a civilization thousands of years ago. Chi Ping had only identified it through the [Ruins Traveler]:

"I am such a despicable old man. I have blocked the way for countless people to survive by living a miserable life."

How should I put it? Siwon has always been trying to survive, but at the same time, he is also trying to survive for everyone else. He is not the kind of person who will let others live if he wants to.

But, the result is——

Further down, there is a small cemetery reserved for Tianwan.

The epitaph is:

“I hate Siwon, but I also love Siwon.

"Hating him created me, loving him makes me who I am. Perhaps only when he dies will I love him the most."

It is well known that the birth of ability requires strong emotional stimulation.

For example, Wei San, for example, Life Editor.

Siyuan's methods are definitely more advanced than those of the Chanjin Chamber of Commerce, but judging from the epitaph reserved by Tianwan, she must not have felt good when she was created and accomplished.

Chi Ping had only been an S-rank cultivator for a short time, so there was no time to make his coffin here. However, he used his palm to cut a stone tablet out of the mountain.

Then he used his fingers to write down what he knew about the Millennium Catastrophe.

And at the end he said:

"Just in case. Hopefully, I don't have to use it. If I do, that would be fucked up.

"Hahaha."

Chi Ping's gaze finally lingered on the group where Siyuan stayed, the one that established an ocean civilization and escaped the thousand-year catastrophe.

Siyuan left few clues, only revealing the area where the tribe was located and their leader, who was also an S-rank.

But for now, he should be dead.

Ever since this tribe was promised by the unknown that they would be exempt from the great calamity of a thousand years, they have been living in seclusion on islands and in the deep sea, rarely coming into contact with the outside world.

Being exempted from the millennium catastrophe is a huge temptation for any civilization!
Many S-class people followed one after another, whether for themselves or for others, trying to find a way to escape the thousand-year catastrophe.

But this ethnic group can truly be exempted from the catastrophe!

How can this not be exciting?

Chi Ping thought for a while, and after returning to Woking, he began to let Mu Jing prepare for crossing the sea.

As for the affairs of the Federation, Gonggong will supervise and Huba will assist.

The specific implementation is still left to those who are upright, idealistic and capable people selected by Gonggong.

As long as Chi Ping is not defeated, it doesn’t really make much difference whether he is in Woking or not.

As for the person to board the ship and cross the sea with him, Chi Ping only chose Wei San for convenience.

Mang wanted to come along, but her abilities were too important for selecting officials and conducting interrogations, so she had to stay. Thus, Le Bai was assigned to Chi Ping again.

"I'll keep an eye on you."

On the day of departure, when boarding the ship, Le Bai tilted his head and looked at Chi Ping very seriously and said.

"Mr. Warden." Wei San still addressed him that way. He checked all the luggage and said, "Everything is ready."

The ship was a medium-sized cruise ship specially prepared by Mu Jing.

According to Chi Ping's requirements, it should be comfortable but not too eye-catching.

The crew, including the waiters, numbered thirteen in total. Ikehira hadn't asked them to arrange security, but the captain was a B-rank water user and had a knack for controlling the ship.

The ship sailed out from a port in the north of the Federation. The wind was very strong at sea, making the cold wind even more biting.

Le Bai stood on the second deck, opened his mouth and kept saying "Ah~~~".

"What are you doing?" Chi Ping asked.

"They say the sea breeze is salty, let me try it." Le Bai said.

Chi Ping rolled his eyes and looked at the captain: "Mu Jing said you are good at sailing?"

The captain was terrified. He only knew that Chi Ping was a significant figure. As for who he was, he had no idea. Ever since he'd shown his face at the inauguration ceremony, Chi Ping had cast a divine aura over his face whenever he went out.

The appearance is about 60% similar, but the temperament is completely different.

The captain had originally not planned to go out to sea this year, but he was called over by his superiors and was told in person that this time he had to entertain a very important person.

You can only cooperate, you can't refuse!
As for the person who gave orders to the captain, he had to go two levels up to see Mu Jing.

The orders they received were actually very similar.

In response to Chi Ping's question, the captain, although he didn't know who Mu Jing was, nodded: "I can drive the boat well, don't worry."

"Then go faster." Chi Ping said, put his hands behind his back, walked to the bow of the boat, and let the sea breeze ruffle his bangs.

"Faster, how fast can it be——" Before the captain could finish his words, there was a sudden violent vibration under his feet!

Then, I saw the boat skipping on the sea!

It was moving forward at a speed that made Le Bai, who was on the second-floor deck enjoying the sea breeze, stagger. He cursed and said that he almost knocked out another tooth.

It would be fine if it was just like installing nitrogen at the stern of a ship, spraying it continuously to move forward.

However, every time the ship travels a certain distance, it will pass through a space crack and complete a space jump!
If someone were to watch from a distance at this time, they would only see a discontinuous, narrow white line on the sea, but would not be able to see the sailing ship.

Because the ship is not moving, it is flying! It is shuttling!
It's just not sailing normally!

The captain looked at the distinguished man before him, swallowed his saliva, and kept silent about what he wanted to say. He could only use all his strength to steady the boat, letting the man before him concentrate on "skipping stones on the water".

After about half an hour, the captain felt a little exhausted.

Chi Ping had already sat on the sofa on the deck, looking relaxed and comfortable.

The captain suddenly realized that it didn't matter whether he used his ability or not.

The boat raced across the sea for a good half a day before finally reaching the area Siyuan had mentioned. However, there wasn't even a trace of a maritime civilization in sight, which surprised Chi Ping. After entering the area, the boat began to slowly drift.

Chi Ping also knew that they couldn't rush, so he waited with them on the sea level. They had brought enough supplies this time, but after waiting for seven days, Chi Ping still felt a little bored.

Le Bai was like a salted fish, lying on the sofa motionless, and needed the waiter to feed him when he ate.

Wei San was quite interesting. He glided across the sea on a bone surfboard, trying to find the ocean civilization that Chi Ping mentioned.

Whether you can find it or not is another matter, but he is quite handsome.

Day seven was another fruitless day. Chi Ping lay on the bed, rocking gently with the waves. When people are bored, they often think of certain people and things.

For example, family members from previous lives, Mang, and Huoba.

But no matter what, a strange person who has never been seen before will not appear before my eyes——

An ugly face was clinging to the porthole of the cruise ship.

Although it has a human form, it has no hair. Instead, it has a layer of scales that reflect the cold moonlight.

He has gills on his neck, his ears have become like fins, and he has thick lips.

"Old Wei!"

Chi Ping shouted, and a black shadow flashed past the window. The ugly weirdo outside the porthole had disappeared.

When Chi Ping stepped onto the deck, the place was already brightly lit.

Wei San used bone spurs to nail three or five ugly monsters through their hands and feet, forcing them to the deck and restricting their movements.

Although Wei San's methods are a bit violent, his execution is impeccable.

"Can we communicate?" Chi Ping looked at Wei San, who shook his head.

“We don’t understand what they are saying.”

Ikehira's [Ruins Traveler] actually failed for the first time. The roars from these monsters were not a language, but a roar containing emotions.

It only expresses general emotions such as pain, discomfort, and uneasiness, and does not express specific meaning.

What Ikehira hates most is encountering things like this.

After a while, a scream was heard in the distance. It was made by the waitress on the boat.

Then another "Hey whoosh" was heard, and I saw Le Bai, who was 1.4 meters tall, walking towards me step by step with a 1.7-meter waitress tucked under his arm and a nearly 2-meter-tall strange man in his hand.

When he got there, he put the frightened waitress down and threw the weirdo aside.

He muttered softly, "It's slippery and sticky." Then he wiped the sticky liquid off his hands onto the boat.

If you look closely, you will find that the monster's fish scales are covered with a layer of mucus. No wonder Le Bai doesn't like it.

"What do you think we should do?" The captain looked at Chi Ping.

The latter was also in a dilemma. The strange man in front of him couldn't communicate, and at first glance he seemed a little mentally retarded. It didn't seem appropriate to kill him or let him go.

Just when I was having a headache, the entire cruise ship tilted thirty degrees to one side!

The ordinary people on the boat stumbled and fell all over the place.

Chi Ping, Wei San, Le Bai and the captain, who were still standing, exchanged a glance. The captain subconsciously said:

“It’s not a wave.”

What he meant was that the sudden tilt of the ship was not caused by the waves, but by the change in the center of gravity of the ship.

He leaned over the handrail and looked in the direction of the tilt. Several searchlights lit up at the right moment, and the captain, who had witnessed the scene on the ship, narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.

What did he see?
The ship was still tilting at this moment, from thirty degrees to forty-five degrees.

The cause of the ship's capsizing was precisely those strange people who had boarded the ship, but now they were clinging to the side of the ship.

There are hundreds and thousands of them, stacked up one on top of the other, and the number is huge.

At first glance, it looks like the hull is covered with dense barnacles, which makes people feel uncomfortable at first sight.

More importantly, they actually relied on their own weight to make the ship tilt!

Obviously, they want to sink the ship!

In reality, before the captain could even speak, Chi Ping's [Insight] had already informed him of the situation. He also knew that there was an extra person on the bow.

She was a woman wearing a sharkskin coat, with a stout build and a rough appearance.

He has dark green hair and no scales on his face, but he has scales between his fingers.

Because she jumped out of the sea, her hair was still dripping with water, but her eyes were gleaming with ferocity.

But the point was not this, but the order she gave to those weirdos, which Chi Ping and others understood:
"Leave the men here, and kill all the women."

Okay, okay, marine patriarchy, right?

As soon as the woman gave the order, more strange people climbed onto the cruise ship and rushed towards the people on board like a tide.

The first one to take action was the captain of the boat. He put his hands together and the water condensed in his palms flew out like a cannonball.

In an instant, three or five monsters were knocked down.

The woman who gave the order was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face. She pointed at the captain and said, "Not a bad man."

Next came Wei San, who pulled out a thick bone whip directly from the spine. The bone whip continued to grow wildly in his hand.

In a blink of an eye, it had grown to the thickness of a bucket. Then, this thick bone whip danced like a dragon in Wei San's hand!

It only took a dozen seconds to knock all the thousands of monsters clinging to the ship into the water.

The strange people on the boat were also injured and pierced by the bone whip.

What is more noteworthy is that Wei San still held back and did not damage the hull.

Upon seeing this, the woman standing at the bow controlling the monster clasped her hands together and clapped her hands in satisfaction!
His brows were beaming with joy, his face was radiant, and two patches of highland red appeared under his rugged face.

"Okay, okay, you're a very useful man, a very powerful man, I want you very much."

Her words made Wei San's face darken.

If he hadn't known that Chi Ping wanted to capture her alive for interrogation, he would have killed this strong woman directly.

But after this strong woman finished praising Wei San, she looked at Chi Ping again.

Then, she froze.

Her entire body felt like it was petrified, and gradually, all of her exposed skin began to turn red. Her breathing became rapid, and even her heartbeat quickened.

"Clap! Clap!"

A drop or two of saliva dripped from the strong woman's broad lips onto the deck.

Under the lights inside the ship, it is clear and transparent.

She stared at Chi Ping, muttering to herself, "What a handsome man."

She actually stepped on the guardrail, turned around and began to look at Chi Ping. The more she looked, the more her heart moved. She couldn't help but say a lot of words:
"I haven't seen such a handsome man in a long time—"

Having said this, he glanced at Wei San standing beside him and said:

“How can a useful man be better than a good-looking man?
“It’s enough for a woman to be useful, and it’s enough for a man to be good-looking.

"You are truly a top-notch beauty."

The strong woman stared at Chi Ping's promoted figure and spoke with drool.

Chi Ping was condensed by the woman.

Then, the strong woman received a heavy uppercut on the chin.

The one who took action was Le Bai.

The man was standing on the guardrail, two meters high. She couldn't reach him, so she had to jump up and hit him.

"Don't set your sights on Chi Ping."
