Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 104 A Huge Bargain!

The next day, after waiting anxiously for several hours, no sea monsters attacked again.

Shi Ming was quite disappointed.

Wasn't it supposed to be that the Eye of Extreme Cold here would attract sea beasts? But after killing just one A-rank sea beast, no other sea beasts dared to come? Could it be that the aura of this Glacier Dragon was too powerful, scaring away the other lower-level sea beasts?
Even the extraction efficiency of ice chalcedony is very slow! The drop rate of this crystal, which is comparable in value to pure crystal, is extremely low!

Only one more exploded overnight!
Ugh!
If that's the case, perhaps he should consider temporarily withdrawing and selling the glacier dragon?
Fortunately, the Glacier Dragon's corpse was not too cold, and its surface temperature was not too low. The few D-level Awakened on the ship could barely tolerate the temperature of its scales and were using sturdy steel chains to pull it onto the deck of the Great Fortune!

The solid glacier has already melted most of it.

Shi Ming's deep gaze was fixed on the sea below.

The seascape here is called the "Eye of Extreme Cold".

What makes the Eye of Extreme Cold special is that its temperature structure is the opposite of that of a normal icy sea. The closer you get to the seabed, the lower the temperature becomes. However, because it is usually accompanied by a high concentration of sea crystal energy, it will not freeze even at very low temperatures.

According to records on the Huangshi, this unique seascape only occurs in the inner sea of ​​the Endless Ice Sea and has never appeared in areas outside the zero-degree sea line.

It is quite strange that it was born in a place like the waters of Europe.

He had originally used the Eye of Intelligence to investigate earlier that morning, but unfortunately, the Eye of Intelligence did not provide any relevant information today, only some special uses of the Glacier Dragon Scales to Shi Ming.

Therefore, he decided to take advantage of the fact that no sea beasts dared to invade at this time, and that the crew on the ship were carrying the corpse of the Glacier Dragon, to go underwater and investigate. There were currently no sea beasts in this underwater area; those that were there before had been lured to the surface and killed yesterday.

This is a good opportunity for exploration.

Even if an unexpected event occurs, the General-class drifting ship's "General characteristic" [Super Overload] will allow him to escape quickly and turn danger into safety in deep-sea diving mode!
Not to mention, he has now gained a new A-level skill!
"Don't move from here. I'm going to explore beneath this ice!"

……

Wow.

The Sun Shooting Ship activated its diving mode, the air shield regenerated, and it began its descent.

The glacier created by the Glacier Dragon had melted most of its surface, and the seawater temperature had begun to return to normal, though it was still around zero degrees Celsius. For Shi Ming, this low temperature only added a touch of coolness. It should be noted that the Glacier Dragon's breath temperature could reach as low as minus fifty degrees Celsius, which he could withstand for several minutes.

Now, after being bathed in blood, their cold resistance has been further enhanced.

It's drizzling.

But as he descended deeper, Shi Ming felt more and more uneasy.

The temperature of the seawater dropped rather drastically.

It even far surpasses the records about the Eye of Extreme Cold that Shi Ming saw.

The seawater in the endless ocean, because it contains the energy of sea crystals, theoretically has a freezing point of around minus thirty degrees Celsius.

The Ice Annihilation of the A-rank sea beast Glacier Dragon has a temperature below this level, so it can create glaciers on the ocean.

The temperature varies depending on the concentration of crystals in the seawater, and it can remain liquid even at temperatures as low as minus fifty degrees Celsius. This is why the endless icy sea in the far north, despite its extremely low temperatures, rarely has glaciers, allowing ships to still navigate on it.

When Shi Ming's Sun-Shooting Submarine reached a depth of 3000 meters, the temperature outside the cabin was already approaching minus thirty degrees Celsius.
When we descended to a depth of 4000 meters, the temperature of the seawater outside the cabin was already close to minus fifty degrees Celsius.

This exceeds the lowest recorded temperature of the Eye of Extreme Cold.

Is there some unusual activity on the seabed?

Fortunately, the ocean here is not very deep; it is only about 4000 meters deep. In the dark and icy sea, Shi Ming's eyes can still clearly see the abnormalities on the seabed.

He could also tell that this was originally just an ordinary sea area, and the remains of corals and other plants and animals in the seawater were no different from those in other sea areas, without any polar characteristics. On the contrary, he could see the remains of some creatures that had died due to temperature changes. Even through the air shield, Shi Ming could feel a bit of cold. With his current physique, and having even bathed in the blood of the Glacier Dragon, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"The Sun Shooting Spacecraft's energy consumption is skyrocketing, and it can only probe for a maximum of 10 more minutes."

The Sun Shooting Ship was navigating through it.

Shi Ming's eyes were also carefully observing, not missing any abnormalities.

Suddenly, he felt the temperature drop again, a sudden chill that even made his skin tighten.

Ok?
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

He observed carefully and finally, beneath the dark seabed, discovered a blue, almost invisible spherical object that shimmered with a faint light.

what is that?
Out of habit, Shi Ming's creative mind swept over it!
Most of nature's creations cannot be upgraded and therefore cannot be explored, but Shi Ming still developed a habit of scanning first when in doubt. Anyway, it doesn't waste any energy, and it might have a miraculous effect!
drop!
Unexpectedly, clues gradually appeared before his eyes.

[Unformed "phaseless pure ice".]

【Level: 9】

[The "Formless Pure Ice," which should have been ranked 48th in the list of wonders of the endless ocean, was buried in the polar ley lines for thousands of years, but was leaked out due to the movement of continental plates, losing its final chance to take shape.]

Upgrade Required: 1000 Pure Crystals

Ok?
Level 9!

Ranked 48th in the list of wonders of the endless ocean!
Shi Ming immediately grasped the key words.

It seems to be an extraordinary treasure?

No wonder the Europa Sea, which isn't in the polar regions, suddenly had an extremely cold eye. It turns out that this ice-attribute treasure was leaked out due to tectonic activity, affecting the seawater temperature in this area.

Since we are destined to meet, wouldn't it be a waste to let it go?
However, it seems to be extremely cold, and if you try to pick it up rashly, you may get frostbite!
How about trying this admiral-class drifting ship?

Shi Ming skillfully piloted the Sun Shooting Ship, constantly probing the edge of the seabed. Finally, with a turn and a light flick, he lifted the "Formless Pure Ice" embedded in the frozen seabed. With a soft thud, an irregularly shaped spherical crystal fell into the cabin.

Yes, yes...

Even with Shi Ming's resistance to the cold, he couldn't help but shiver.

He adapts very well.

Having obtained the treasure, Shi Ming did not linger and steered the Sun-Shooting Ship upwards at an extremely rapid pace.

……

wow-

When the Sun-Shooting Ship broke through the water, it kicked up a string of icicles that had not yet solidified!
During the ascent, the coordinates shifted slightly, and at this point, the Dayun was standing far away, about a nautical mile away.

Just as Shi Ming was about to head over to meet up, he heard a strange cracking sound. Within a radius of several hundred meters centered on the Sun-Shooting Ship, the seawater rapidly froze, and the once azure ocean was now frozen into a large expanse of snow-white ice.

At the same time, Shi Ming seemed to hear the roar of a sea monster.

The sound seemed both distant and intimately close.

"This is?"

With a sense of foreboding, Shi Ming quickly retrieved the Endless Sea Map from the system's inventory and infused it with S-level Awakening Power!
