Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 134 The Titans Descend Once Again!

The sea breeze rustled Shi Ming's clothes.

After some contact, Shi Ming was certain that Reinhardt had already begun his scheme. Now, under the guise of a commission, Reinhardt was following behind his drifting ship, ostensibly for cooperation, but in reality for control.

Moreover, Shi Ming had no doubt that if he showed even the slightest intention to escape, the Cooking Smoke Ship would go all out to suppress him and reveal its wolfish fangs.

escape?

joke.

He is very satisfied with his current situation.

There are no conflicts, everyone gets along well, and we make money together—isn't that great?

By the way, how should I spend these 2000 Pure Crystals?

We definitely need to reserve 1000 of them to upgrade and repair that "unformed formless pure ice." It's a rare item ranked 48th, and we don't know what's so special about it. If we can properly explore and utilize it, it will definitely be a great help.

The other 1000... let's store them away for now. The amount of Pure Crystals needed for the Brain of Creation will definitely increase in the future.

Moreover, even if the plan goes smoothly, he might not actually get all 2000 Pure Crystals; he needs to lower his expectations for the harvest.

With such a high reward, Jinta may not pay it all at once; it is very likely that it will be paid in two installments: an advance payment and a final payment.

Fine, I'll take whatever I can get!

Opportunity knocks but once. Missing such a chance to make big money would be a waste of a gift from heaven.

……

An hour later, in the Atlantic Ocean.

Robert, the captain of the Golden Mountain, is also the number two figure in the intelligence organization "Golden Tower".

He controls all affairs of the organization, is responsible only to the Lighthouse, and reports directly to the Lighthouse's superiors. In addition to acting as a broker, he also supplies the Lighthouse with intelligence and wealth. Although Robert is the number two, the Lighthouse's superiors never interfere with his organizational management, so he has a great deal of autonomy.

He's been in a good mood lately because the pressure on him has been greatly reduced due to his superior's anger over Miss Yan's death in the line of duty.

Miss Yan's life or death had nothing to do with him, but her death diverted the organization's internal conflicts, which naturally made him very happy.

drop.

The communicator rang.

He picked up the communicator, glanced at it, and his smile became even more barely suppressed!
Reinhardt of the Smoke Ship has actually captured that escaped silver ship! The drifting ship numbered 23333!

What a joyous occasion!
The three admiral-level drifting ships under the Lighthouse are all under their own pressure and facing accountability from headquarters. As long as they catch the culprit who caused the navigator's death and complete the exorbitant bounty, their own responsibility will be greatly reduced!
His fingers flew across the communicator as he replied:
“My dear Reinhardt, you are truly my lucky star.”

"I will prepare enough Pure Crystals and dispatch my [Thor] to the designated coordinates to meet you and help the Black Society recover the drifting ship numbered 23333. Once this matter is settled, I will definitely invite you to the Golden Tower to experience the most unique girls from all over the world; they can't wait."

“Your friend, Robert.”

Robert's eyebrows shot up.

Moreover, he knew that the underworld had a secret treasure that had been lost on the drifting ship numbered 23333.

The ship will be recovered on this trip. As agreed, the drifting ship will be handed over to the Black Society, but as for the treasure... hehe... what treasure? I've never seen it before.

"Thor, prepare immediately and head to the Europa Sea to carry out the mission."

"The target is suspected to be a senior A-level Awakened. Walton, this mission will be entrusted to the three of you."

……

……

……

Without using the Endless Ocean Map feature, relying solely on rotting fish as bait, finding a Class C sea monster in the vast ocean is an extremely difficult task.

But no one cared.

The Dayun and the cooking smoke drifted one after the other on the endless ocean. The crew of the Dayun were busy throwing rotting fish into the sea, while Shi Ming was leisurely lying in the captain's cabin, planning the next steps.

"The efficiency of the Golden Pagoda is not very high."

"It's been 13 hours, and my Pure Crystal still hasn't arrived?"

He was getting a little impatient.

But appearances must still be maintained; Reinhardt must not be allowed to see any slackness. On the contrary, he must be made to believe that he is truly searching for sea creatures and cherishes this hard-won, high-priced commission.

That's enough, there's a Class C sea monster 34 nautical miles ahead.
Let's just put on a show.

On the following ship, the Smoke, Reinhardt lay comfortably on a lounge chair, humming a tune.

"Captain, are we really going to continue following them to hunt down Class C sea monsters?"

The assistant asked, puzzled.

Reinhardt glanced at the assistant.

"Otherwise what? Forcefully suppress it? Take back the drifting ship on behalf of the Golden Pagoda?" "If the Golden Pagoda says that some treasures were lost on the ship, or that people who shouldn't have died died, or that equipment that shouldn't have been damaged broke, how will you respond?"

"We must complete the mission of obtaining 2000 Pure Crystals perfectly! We must ensure the client's complete satisfaction."

"We only need to hand over the ship to the people of the Golden Pagoda, and that will complete the mission. After that, whether they kill or rob us, it has nothing to do with us. Whether the treasures or the people on the ship are lost or killed, we will not bear any responsibility."

Reinhardt was a shrewd strategist who deduced many details from past intelligence.

I also roughly know that there is a treasure on the ship.

Otherwise, how could it be worth such an exorbitant reward?
The completion of the 2000 Pure Crystal Request was due to sheer luck.

He had no intention of stealing the treasure; he only wanted the commission. The treasure was a hot potato. There's an Eastern proverb that goes something like, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." If the treasure really fell into his hands, he would probably become the next target of the Lighthouse.

That's why he reached a cooperation agreement with the lucky captain.

Using the cooperation agreement as a pretext, we can avoid getting involved with that secret treasure, so that we don't get into any trouble later and things get complicated. If anything goes wrong, your Golden Pagoda can't blame me.

滴，
The communicator rang.

Reinhardt's eyes lit up.

"Captain Reinhardt, this is Captain Rowan of the Thor. I'm here to carry out the recovery mission and have reached the corresponding coordinates in the Europa Sea. Please provide the accurate coordinates for the next steps. As agreed beforehand, we will pay you 500 Pure Crystals upon confirmation of the target, and 1000 Pure Crystals upon successful recovery of the ship. The remaining 500 Pure Crystals will be paid in full after confirmation by the Black Society."

coming.

"Dear Captain Rowan, the exact coordinates are... The target ship is right in front of us. Captain Rowan, would you like some smoke to help with the recovery?"

"No need. Captain Reinhardt, we appreciate your kindness. Thor will be in charge of recovering the Silver Ship."

The closer the two communicators are, the faster their transmission speed.

Reinhardt knew that the Thor was nearby.

He could almost hear the sound of the pure crystals colliding.

How wonderful!

At that moment, Shi Ming also learned from the maritime radar that a drifting ship was moving rapidly and approaching.

"Captain, should we attempt to drive them away or attack?"

"Don't bother."

Shi Ming patiently scattered rotting fish on the deck, waiting for the sea creatures to take the bait.

Suddenly, he sensed that even the wind in the air carried a murderous intent.

A powerful and swift aura burst forth from beneath the seawater, and a heavily armored ship, resembling a submarine, suddenly appeared between the cooking smoke and the Great Canal.

"All crew members, return to your cabins."

He cracked his knuckles.

The professional assassins' speed in the attack astonished even Shi Ming. Amidst the chilling atmosphere, three Awakened Ones had already disembarked from the heavy armored ship onto the deck of the Great Yun. The Awakened One in the middle, speaking in an icy tone, relayed the orders from the Golden Pagoda's higher-ups:
"Kill everyone on this ship, leave no one alive."

Shi Ming smiled.

Kill them all?

Three A-level Awakened Ones.

Jinta really went all out.

Then let me show you who the prey is!
He blinked.

The golden runes of the Titans reappeared in his eyes, and his Titan bloodline began to stir. An ancient clock phantom appeared behind him.

Twelve divine symbols are arranged in a silvery ring, and the hands of fate tick rapidly on the clock.

S-rank skill activated!
Titans have arrived!

The clock hands ticked away relentlessly, striking nine times in three seconds before stopping at the ninth mark.

As the Titan power within him revived, his hair changed from pure black to the color of lightning, standing on end.

Endless lightning filled the area.

His upper body clothing suddenly burst open, shattering into pieces. Thunder patterns ripped across his body, and in his deep eyes, it seemed as if a great silver thunderbolt flashed, making him appear as if he had transformed into a god of the sky and lightning.

With a humanoid body, he brought with him the imposing aura of an S-class sea monster!

The power of the ninth Titan,

A body struck by eternal lightning!

"Bad luck, another third prize."

Shi Ming smiled and sighed.
