Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 128 Collecting Loot! The Eyes of the Sky - 10 Minutes Remaining
"This Miss Yan's identity is quite extraordinary; she actually knows the current King Zhan?"

"It seems I should try not to use this knife in front of America's people in the future."

……

The killing of the king and the sinking of the Yellowstone are closely related.

It doesn't matter if we become enemies of the lighthouse.
But the secret of the Light must never be discovered.

This is one of Shi Ming's most important sources of intelligence, and it cannot be lost.

Turning over the body of this dead enemy, Shi Ming found the Ocean-Stabilizing Pearl on Miss Yan's body, and the Mocking Stone that the Eye of Intelligence had mentioned in the honeycomb hidden deep in her waist.

These two strange items ended up in his hands by a twist of fate.

It was truly an unexpected bonus.

What a great harvest!

Shi Ming smiled as he put away the two treasures, the secret runes on his body flashing and radiating a golden light in the deep sea.

But there are always regrets.

To Shi Ming's regret, the A-level sea beast cave queen was blasted into powder by the sudden battle, a complete waste. Shi Ming didn't even have time to come into contact with its blood before the tense and exciting battle began.

Ugh!
Adhering to the principle of not giving up any valuable items, they found Ashina's corpse in Uzukuri and searched it carefully. The beehive he carried with him also became Shi Ming's possession, containing some mission supplies and miscellaneous items, which were not convenient to examine in detail at the moment.

Shi Ming accepted the system space without hesitation.

He strives to be cautious in his actions.

Once the items are in the system space, not only is the positioning technology of the Drifting Era nonexistent, but even navigator skills like Edward's would have difficulty detecting them. Therefore, Shi Ming is not worried about being tracked because of these items.

In this sea area, apart from the desolate battlefield, only Shi Ming remained.

He was also preparing to leave.

But there is still a problem: what to do with the carcass of this deep-sea titan.

Those who frequently hunt sea monsters know that...

Hunting is easy, but disposing of the carcass is difficult.

The sea monster, over 100 meters long and resembling a small mountain range, has now fallen on the seabed. Although its blood has lost its ability to awaken people, the flesh and blood of this sea beast still have unimaginable value and represent immeasurable wealth.

Unfortunately, Shi Ming was unable to take it all with him.

Once things have settled down, both the Twelve Stars and the Lighthouse will surely return to investigate this battlefield.

At that time, this unimaginable treasure will only benefit the other party. The Twelve Stars are alright, as Shi Ming is not too averse to them. But the Lighthouse is secretly conducting some strange research. If they obtain the corpse of the Deep Sea Titan, who knows what kind of mess they might discover.

No! We can't leave it here!
The Titans' power is still intact, so they might be able to truly destroy the evidence.

Shi Ming spent a considerable amount of time collecting valuable flesh and blood from the sea beast. After the system space and the hive were no longer able to hold it all, he used the power of Titan's Descent and Ice Annihilation to completely return the legendary sea beast to the sea.

Call ~
The sea fish and other sea creatures that come after hearing the news will thoroughly clean up the battlefield.

Everything is ready, it's time to evacuate.

He boarded the Sunshot and started the general-class drifting ship.

There are 20 minutes left in the 50-minute time limit for the Sky's Eyes.

This Titan's skill is indeed incredibly powerful, and its effectiveness is doubled when facing some strange Awakened Ones.

Looking forward to drawing different skills next time.

However, Shi Ming was also very curious—

Titanfall has a one-hour duration, but the Eye of the Sky's effect only lasts for 50 minutes. What extra surprises or developments will occur in the remaining 10 minutes? Slow power drain? Decline?

Twenty minutes later...

"I go!"

Standing aboard the automatically navigating Sun-Shooting Ship, Shi Ming's eyes, where the golden runes had faded, were wide open in disbelief...

After using it once, he gained a deeper understanding of the Titan Descent skill...

As the skill description states, Titan's Descent lasts for one hour, but the Titan's power will slowly dissipate after 50 minutes. After the power slowly dissipates, an additional Echoing state will occur. This state arises naturally and is not part of the skill's scope.

such as,

In the Temple of Time state, for the first 50 minutes, time will pause for one second every 12 seconds.
When the echo phase begins, the flow of time in this area will increase to make up for the one-second pause, bringing the time within the area in line with the outside world.

If used properly, it can yield good results.

And the effect of the Eye of the Sky...

For the first 50 minutes, suppress mortal, human, or animalistic instincts and elevate divinity.

In the last 10 minutes, after the power begins to decline, it will reduce divinity and increase mortality, humanity, or bestiality. The mortality that was once suppressed will not disappear, but will rebound completely like a spring.

Shi Ming's expression changed, and he quickly activated the Sun Shooting Technique to forcibly suppress the intense heat in his body, then left without looking back.

……

……

……

at the same time.

Black Society.

Itsukushima Rin sat in his office, quietly sipping his tea.

During the days he was stripped of his authority, he had a rare opportunity to clear his mind and gained a deeper understanding of many things from the past.

"I wonder if Ashina will bring any surprises this time?"

Ashina declined to take responsibility for this operation, but the person in charge was the "master" on the ship. The "master" gave his full support to the operation and even used some of the ship's treasured artifacts.

The Stone of Mockery.

This is a treasure listed on the list of rare items. Although its ranking is not very high, if used properly, it can completely turn the tide of an operation, turn defeat into victory, and achieve an unexpected effect.

For Itsukushima Rin, if Ashina succeeds, he can use his intelligence to return to the center of power and once again become the naval admiral second only to the emperor.

But if it doesn't succeed...

Itsukushima Rin took a sip of tea and put down the lacquerware cup, which was of great artistic taste.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't succeed.
With Ashina's skill and wisdom, he will surely be able to escape unscathed during the operation.

At that time, just consider it a failed investment and wait for the next opportunity.

He has adjusted his mindset very well now.

There is plenty of patience.

There are opportunities.

……

Some people were extremely relaxed, while others were extremely anxious.

Mount Olympus.

Miss Yan's auxiliary drifting ship, the "Beltfish," followed closely behind the "Explorer" after receiving her hint. It quietly settled in a secluded area near the ruins, waiting for Miss Yan's order to dive into the deep sea to provide support.

The first mate of the Beltfish was extremely anxious.

Two hours have passed since I last received Miss Yan's order.

As agreed beforehand, there would be a simple message call every hour. This did not require Ms. Yan to enter any information; she only needed to press a button on the communicator.

Moreover, because the distance between them is very short, the transmission of information will not take long.

"Could it be that Miss Yan is currently engaged in a fierce battle?"

The Ribbonfish waited quietly.

But they never received any information.
