Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 162 The Second Wish

The prince quickly rubbed the antique lamp body, which resembled an ashtray.

The Wishing Lamp is a treasure ranked 41st on the list of wondrous items. A wishing star that fell from the sky transformed into a wondrous power and merged into an oil lamp. It can grant him three wishes in a rather distorted way, and he still has two left.

He had intended to make a wish that "everyone on this ship would die."

Only in this way can I vent my anger!
Only then can these people pay the price, the price for offending him!
But then he thought about it again. His previous wish to "kill Shi Ming" was rejected by the oil lamp, which said there was no loophole to exploit. He figured it wouldn't work this time either, so he settled for second best and changed his wish.

My second wish is to return to my father's ship with all the wealth and treasures on board!

Even if I can't kill you, I'll still take all the treasures from your ship!
The Wishing Lamp, ranked 41st on the list of rare items, quickly responded.

Your wish will be fulfilled.

As the price for this exchange, you will pay with all your wealth.

Wow!

As the light of the oil lamp suddenly intensified,

All the valuable items on the Old Day, including but not limited to Dome Crystals, Pure Dome Crystals, anti-aircraft guns, mortars, high-grade armor, portable equipment on board, Thomas's personal collection...

At that moment, it was as if they had been magically transformed into living beings, completely evaporated!
A power that can only be described as miraculous!
Along with them disappeared, Prince Art, who was on the verge of defeat.

His figure seemed to suddenly melt into the mirage, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye!

Thomas and three A-level Awakened,
Looking at the empty cabin,
For a moment, we looked at each other, completely stunned.

-

In just a few seconds, Thomas reacted quickly, breaking out in a cold sweat, and instinctively touched the "Let There Be Light" communicator on his waist.

Okay,

Still there.

The key is also there.

This thing may seem ordinary, but it's his lifeline, like a soldier's weapon in the land era—absolutely inviolable. Losing a valuable item would only result in punishment, but losing this thing would have serious consequences.

His expression softened slightly, then turned ashen again.

The Old Days is now empty. The more than 100-meter-long drifting ship has only heavy facilities that cannot be moved. All the high-value items have disappeared, including the small box of Pure Crystal, more than 30 Navigation Crystals, and a large number of personal treasures, which have completely vanished!
It was even worse than being robbed by pirates.

That lamp was anything but ordinary.

A detailed report might mitigate the liability appropriately.

……

……

……

The sea of ​​yellow sand is scorching hot under the blazing sun.

"Captain, we have reached the target location."

"very good."

The location of the Dayun is currently in the area of ​​the Yellow Sand Sea, but it is close to the Hot Sea, also known as the legendary Sea of ​​Ashes, where the surface temperature can reach more than 40 degrees Celsius.

But that's not the worst of it. Further south, where the King-class drifting ship [Black Gold] is located, the seawater temperature can reach over 50 degrees Celsius.

Further south, you reach the Boiling Sea.

That would be a completely different story.

Normally, seawater has a high specific heat capacity, and even in the terrestrial era, the temperature would hardly exceed 40 degrees Celsius. However, the current high temperature in Africa is not caused by the sun, but by the deep sea.

Shi Ming guessed that it might be related to the sea monster in the center of the Boiling Sea.

The crew members were all sweating profusely from the heat; even C-level Awakened Ones couldn't adapt to the temperature here in a short time.

Shi Ming, however, comfortably fished on the deck the whole way.
The hot seawater yields unique catches, such as the red bone fish. Its flesh is delicious and its blood is piping hot, making it a unique flavor when eaten raw. The most peculiar thing is that if you kill this red bone fish, its flesh will automatically cook in less than twenty minutes.

Therefore, if you want to eat boiled fish, no cooking is required. Simply apply the seasoning to the fish and wait for twenty minutes.

If you want to eat grilled fish, wait another twenty minutes, and the red-boned fish meat will become crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

It's incredibly convenient.

Shi Ming put away his fishing rod and looked at the map. He then took out the Endless Sea Map and infused it with S-level and A-level awakening power.

There were no abnormalities whatsoever.

That's good. He didn't want to explore halfway through only to have another "Twilight Whale" appear.

He looked at the deep blue sea.

Beneath this deep sea, endless yellow sand surges.

Beneath the yellow sand lies the pyramid of Scorpion King III.

The pyramid contains one of the crucial materials that allows a General-level drifting ship to be upgraded to a "King-level drifting ship"! It is also his most important objective on this trip.

After the Age of Wandering began, some secrets slumbering beneath the yellow sands were brought to the surface by the impact of the sea, becoming available for everyone to explore. Unfortunately, over the past few decades, some skilled divers on wandering ships, accompanied by powerful awakened individuals, have made numerous expeditions, only to find some abandoned remains.

In addition, archaeology is not valued nowadays, and underwater treasure hunting is extremely dangerous, so most forces are increasingly losing interest in it.

But Shi Ming was different; he was well-prepared.

To do a good job, one must first have the right tools. Shi Ming's preparations were quite thorough. In addition to the Dinglan Pearl, a spoil of war obtained from Olympus, he also gained a good understanding of some history from the Scorpion King era on the Pharaoh.

At the same time, he already possessed the most crucial treasure map of the pyramids.

This ancient pyramid is not as simple as an ordinary tomb. Unexpectedly, it has a main burial chamber and four secondary burial chambers. Intersecting shafts, corridors, tunnels and dark chambers form a rather complex spatial structure.

Moreover, there were three bizarre locations on the map that caught Shi Ming's attention.

Scorpion King Garden;

The Pool of Sleep;

The Hall of Bones.

With a garden and a bathhouse, it's clear that Scorpion King III is someone who knows how to enjoy life.

Even the Great Pyramid of Giza did not reach such a high standard.

The Dayun ship will remain stationed here to avoid unnecessary trouble. Shi Ming will activate stealth mode. During his underwater exploration, the Dayun ship will stay here to provide him with necessary support. At the same time, the ship's highest-level crystal extraction equipment will continue to operate at high speed.

Shi Ming then rode the Sun-Shooting Ridge alone, activated the diving mode, and ventured into the Yellow Sand Sea.

The Dinglan Pearl has also been activated. This wondrous object from Fontainebleau allows Shi Ming to move nimbly in the sea as if he were on land.

One thousand meters,

Two kilometers
in the end.

The Yellow Sand Sea is a new sea, a land sea, with a water depth of only about two thousand meters.

Even though he had only imagined what an underwater desert would look like, Shi Ming was still amazed by its magnificence when he actually saw it.

In some steep places,

The quicksand waterfall resembles molten gold, flowing slowly across the seabed.
Ocean currents have sculpted underwater ripples resembling sand dunes, like frozen waves, while in some places, bedrock that was originally covered by sand layers has been exposed.

At the same time, there are no corals, mud, or seaweed forests common in other sea areas here... Thirty years have passed, and it is still just a stretch of yellow sand.

The remains of crustaceans are quite common.

While admiring the unique scenery, Shi Ming searched for his target.

Finally, he discovered a small stone brick protruding from the yellow sand.

"Is that it?"
