Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 214 The Nameless Cocoon: Are You Courting Death?
The Wishing Lamp is a wonderful treasure with unlimited potential.

However, it cannot be effectively utilized at present.

But the heart of navigation is different.

This Heart of Navigation, belonging to the Gold-class drifting ship, was probably retrieved by Prince Art from the leaky Son of the Sun. It can upgrade the Great Fortune or Sunshot by one level. In addition, there are 18 Navigation Stones (Bronze) and 7 Navigation Crystals (Silver) in the box, all of which are Art's previous spoils of war.

These core energy crystals, originally intended for trade with the Lighthouse, have now been given to Shi Ming for free.

It's unclear what the lighthouse needs these crystals for, or what projects it's researching.

Shi Ming only learned from the "Let There Be Light" channel that America's 12 high-class drifting ships were currently conducting a top-secret internal manhunt for Prince Art, with an extremely high priority. It was comparable to his past when he had 2000 Pure Crystals.

This wanted notice was kept completely secret from the public, so Shi Ming couldn't use the cracked Art to obtain a substantial bounty and contribution points.

After all, he's not the real Yellowstone.

If someone were to use the Yellowstone communicator to send a message to "Let There Be Light" and reply with "Received," he suspected that Trinden, thousands of miles away, would immediately break through the defenses, and "Let There Be Light," hailed as the most advanced communication technology of the wandering era, would become the biggest stain on the lighthouse.

The clown is no less clown-like than the previous pharaohs.

Similar things happened in the land-based era.

The predecessor of Ivan the Great once presented America with a sculpture as a state gift, which contained a "Golden Lips" eavesdropping device that did not require power. America hung it in a central position in the embassy for eight years without anyone knowing.

They eavesdropped on countless intelligence reports.

It is arguably one of the greatest humiliations in history.

Eight years later, it was finally discovered. With the cooperation and restoration efforts of the British Empire, its principles were finally deciphered, and radio frequency identification technology was developed, which is also a "legendary story".

These are all things from a very, very long time ago.

Shi Ming's eyes swept over the seven relatively high-grade crystals.

【Crystal of Navigation】

【Level: 2】

[The necessary items for constructing the Silver Drifter come from the third core of a meteorite from outer space. This core contains surging energy and incredible propulsion, making it an extremely precious and non-renewable resource.]

[Upgrade requires: 4 additional Navigation Crystals, and 3000 ml of each of 5 different Grade A Sea Beast blood.]

Just like a drifting ship, with the power of the Brain of Creation, five silver-grade Navigation Crystals, plus five different types of A-grade blood as auxiliary materials, can be upgraded into a gold-grade Navigation Heart.

And so on.

In this way, the core materials for advancing to the [Great Luck] and [Sun Shooting] stages in the short term will at least be sufficient.

Completely consuming these nautical crystals would allow the Great Fortune or Sun Shooting to advance by at least three levels.

This is truly an unexpected windfall.

When I have free time, I will plan and make good use of them one by one.

The Sea of ​​Ashes is almost here.

……

……

……

The general-class drifting ship, Da Yun, returned to the Sea of ​​Ashes in its simple appearance, and once again saw the [Black Gold] that had not moved an inch in the past thirty years.

During the voyage, they did not sense any pursuit from the Abyss Lord.

There was no prompting from the Eye of the World.

The temperature in the Sea of ​​Ashes is quite high. The old captain of the Shark is still doing his business near the King-class drifting ship Black Gold, warmly treating every potential customer. However, Shi Ming, whose face is painted with "Tears of the Earth and Sea", has changed his appearance. Even though they had done business together twice before, the old man could not recognize Shi Ming.

The other crew members are also taking turns on duty.

The Tears of the Earthsea are truly magical.

Even Shi Ming himself wouldn't recognize it after applying just one drop.

The old captain of the Shark looked at the Dayun slowly approaching from afar with disbelief on his face.

"Hey, these days, even bronze ships can sail to the Sea of ​​Ashes?"

There are bronze ships near Black Gold, but those are all official and law enforcement vessels of Black Gold, holding a very high status. This ship, however, is completely unfamiliar to him. The lightning bolt emblem on its hull doesn't belong to any force he's seen before; it could only have come from another sea area.

Is he yet another dreamer?

"Bro! Want to buy some Black Gold specialties? South African diamonds, large pearls, fragments of the Pharaoh's four-eyed cobra... all good stuff!"

"Anyone interested in buying the fragments of the Pharaoh's ship?"

From a distance, Shi Ming asked curiously.

"Of course!"

Sensing that the person opposite seemed interested, the old captain began to introduce the ship with enthusiasm.

"This fell off a general-class drifting ship. It's a section of the Four-Eyed Cobra, which has extremely high collectible value. It's said that in the East, important figures love things with historical significance like this. They buy a section, resell it in the East, and make a fortune! Bro!" "Even the female captain of the Golden Bodhi ship bought a whole section! She even framed it and hung it on the bow! Ask around around here, and you'll see that what I'm saying is absolutely true!"

"This thing can ward off evil spirits!"

Captain Mel of the Golden Bodhi Tree bought a piece and hung it on the bow of his ship.
It was very humiliating.

Ptolemy had many mortal enemies, most of whom were old grudges accumulated since the land era.

The Red Sea was particularly aggressive, with everyone wanting to take advantage of the situation and kill it.

Even black gold cannot reconcile these contradictions.

Based on this, the Pharaoh is now stationed not far from Black Gold, partly for repairs and partly to seek refuge.

Their pyramid-shaped floating boat had been damaged in two corners and was in dire need of repair. Black Gold had a large number of professionals who could provide some protection and prevent them from being retaliated against by other adversaries during this special period.

Shi Ming could see the golden pyramid from afar.

Against the backdrop of black and gold, it appeared as small as an ant, having lost its arrogant demeanor. Dark green tents were erected around its damaged corners, and it was being diligently maintained.

At that moment, a familiar voice appeared in Shi Ming's mind once again.

You're back.

An unnamed cocoon.

Guided by his spiritual power, Shi Ming followed the voice into the endless sea, just like last time, and plunged into the great rift valley two thousand meters below, continuing to sink.

While others cannot recognize the disguised Shi Ming, the Nameless Cocoon can clearly sense Shi Ming's arrival through its mental power and establish a private conversation with him, enabling effective communication anywhere in this sea area.

It can even transmit items, such as blood.

"Yes, A-Jian, I've come back to see you, my friend."

Shi Ming's voice became more fervent.

"I've been thinking about how to help you, and now I've just gained even greater power! I've taken another step forward on my path to helping you."

"You know I've always been very sincere."

"Know how to repay kindness."

【very good.】

But that's not enough to deal with this ship. You need to be stronger.

A hint of joy appeared in the voice of the nameless cocoon.

Shi Ming's lips curled up imperceptibly.

"Yes, I need to become stronger, and as before, I can't do without your support. Next, I plan to hunt down a super sea monster. If I obtain its power, I will definitely be able to rescue you. You won't have to be sealed here anymore; you can break free of your cocoon immediately and become the king of this world."

The map of the Yan state is very short.

Shi Ming began to bluff his way out.

Like some people, they start making empty promises and trying to attract investment by just showing a PowerPoint presentation.

Hunting the Great Black Dragon?
The eight characters haven’t been written yet.

The project is at a stage where even creating new folders hasn't started yet.

【Very good, what kind of sea creature?】

The nameless cocoon showed no sorrow for its fellow creatures.

Within the spiritual power of the Nameless Cocoon, Shi Ming sensed its excitement. Clearly, it had also perceived that Shi Ming had become powerful again and felt that its investment had yielded returns and feedback. Its voice was also much more impassioned.

Investors need positive feedback.

The same applies to investment enthusiasts.

"Yes, you should know about that sea monster. It is currently located at 138 degrees east longitude and 35 degrees north latitude. Its name seems to be the Great Black Dragon."

【…】

The nameless cocoon remained silent for a long time.

……

"Ah Jian? What's wrong?"

"are you still there?"

After a long time, Shi Ming finally received a reply from the Nameless Cocoon.

You are seeking death.

Shi Ming guessed,

It probably means, "Are you looking for death?"
