Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 223 A Great Harvest: Taking Stock of the Dragon Hairs Harvested!

[The Great Black Dragon will transition from light sleep to deep sleep in 3 minutes.]

The dream is about to fade away.

Ok?
Shi Ming, who had finally adapted to this body, was taken aback.
Wasn't it supposed to be more than 20 hours?
I've only been experiencing it for a little over 20 minutes!

I hadn't had enough of piloting the Gundam yet! How did it get to time?

In the blink of an eye, as if falling from a dream, Shi Ming's consciousness returned to his body.

His eyes snapped open as he rose from the hard obsidian ground, warily surveying his surroundings. The Great Black Dragon still slumbered there, just as it had for nearly ten thousand years. This small, usurped dream seemed to be just one of its many insignificant dreams.

"The current time is..."

"26 hours have really passed???"

The time when dreams are most easily forgotten.

In the blink of an eye, consciousness may perceive that a whole night has passed!
He spent a whole day with the Great Black Dragon, and his body showed no abnormalities or effects, but he felt slightly hungry and his energy reserves were almost depleted.

It was all like a dream.

Shi Ming returned to the location where the blood was collected.

The decaying wounds on the dragon's scales and claws had all healed, leaving only visible scars. The containers that had been dripping blood had only collected about one-third of their capacity, approximately 1.2 liters, but they were very heavy to lift, probably weighing about 15 kilograms.
Its quality is comparable to mercury.

The requirement for the twelve-star filling is 1000 grams, so you only need to divide out about 100 milliliters to complete the task.

However, Shi Ming did not intend to allocate all 1000 grams to blood. The value of blood was definitely far greater than that of fascia tissue. The twelve stars were for research. The combination of keratin, fragments, flesh, and blood was diverse and made it easier to produce research results.

Let's go back and redistribute them!

Shi Ming carefully collected this precious and weighty blood.

Before leaving, he glanced one last time at the Great Black Dragon, which exuded an aura of destruction. He then broke open the closed obsidian layer from the edge of the nest-like obsidian lava cocoon, entered the lava-filled passage, and swam upstream towards the lava.

This trip can be considered a complete success, and we have gained a lot.

He briefly reviewed the results.

1. A large dragon scale the size of a palm.

2. A small section of the shed skin of the Great Black Dragon.

3. The keratin and rotten flesh scraped off from the scales and claws, as well as a small part of the tip of the Great Black Dragon's scales and claws that fell off, weighed about four or five pounds.

4. Approximately 1.2 liters of Holy Class blood, weighing about fifteen kilograms.

5. The three remaining sections of the root of the Sea Rising Cherry are very light, just like the roots of ordinary plants.

6. A novel experience of transforming into a sacred sea monster?
I wonder if the experience of having my consciousness occupied in a dream will resonate with the destructive source of the Great Black Dragon, reducing the risk of awakening later... If it really works, even without the Root of the Sea Rising Cherry Blossom, I can still meet the second condition for bathing in blood?
It's probably very difficult. If it were truly possible, the Eye of the Mortal World would give a warning.

Let's ignore it for now.
Just consider it a wonderful experience.

Shi Ming swam upwards in the magma like a fish.

He was unaware that his antics in his dream had triggered a series of tsunamis, which were genuinely impacting reality.

……

……

……

The two general-class drifting ships, the Black Society and Renhuang, in their sorry state, managed to hold on amidst the fluctuating natural disasters.

Because the nation of Uzu had considerable experience in dealing with tsunamis, they had taken into full account the corresponding risk avoidance strategies when building these two Admiral-class drifting ships. As a result, the ship itself did not suffer any serious damage. However, the equipment and crew inside the ship suffered severe damage due to the violent shaking and turbulence.

Emperor Renzong lay pale-faced in the medical pod, his stomach empty from vomiting.

Even Itsukushima Rin, who had weathered many storms, had never seen natural disasters occurring at such a frequency.

Princess Mika, who had already been "driven out" and left the Black Society, and Tatasta, who was recovering from his injuries, escaped this ordeal.

"Virus," an S-class Awakened from the Lighthouse, was in his room, having retracted the elastic fascia supporting his body, and glancing at the beeping communicator.

That's a new mission. [...]

A hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes. She deftly removed her ordinary vortex army sailor uniform, took out the sturdy little test tube containing the remains of the "Undying Evil Eye" from her pocket, and brought it close to the seven slippery, constantly gurgling, human eye discs.

A-level skill: Naked-eye roulette.

By devouring the flesh and blood of a sea beast, one can recreate the sea beast's skill once, which is somewhat similar to the Star Lamp, but they are very different in essence. The Star Lamp does not compress the power of skills, while the skills displayed by the visual wheel are limited by the strength of the caster.

The lucky eye at the very top devoured the optimized flesh and blood of the sanctuary.

It became agitated, and its already grotesque eyes became even more eerie and malevolent.

"Hoo—uh—"

A long, deep, muffled groan.

The virus has once again donned the sailors' uniforms.

She fastened her buttons, reverting to her usual disguise and aloofness, pushed open the door, and walked out of the long corridor.

The reign title of "Emperor Ren" is now in complete chaos.

With many surveillance devices malfunctioning, it's time to take action.

Even if both sides agree to cooperate, there are some things that [Ren-eun] may not honestly hand over. In this case, some special measures are necessary. The initiative cannot be in the hands of the "partner". This is the consistent style of [Lighthouse].

……

Onboard the Emperor Ren, in a secret archive room.

"Jiaming! Is the crack complete?"

"20 more seconds."

Inside the heavily infiltrated, drifting ship, two Awakened from Kunwu were also carrying out a secret mission. Their objective was to back up information about the Great Black Dragon and delete any content unsuitable for the Lighthouse.

Sometimes, problems that cannot be stopped by guns and diplomacy must be addressed by other means.

This has been the case for a thousand years.

"It'll take another ten seconds!"

"somebody is coming!"

"Last five seconds!"

Jiaming stared at the progress bar on the key screen, his fingers frantically manipulating the decryptor he carried with him. The progress bar kept increasing, and it was about to cross 99%, completing the mission.

rub--

A fascia-formed object darted through the crack in the door and, with a thud, pierced the chest and abdomen of the young awakened individual.

Then, a large amount of blood splattered.

Jiaming and his companion, one with a rapidly unfocused gaze, the other trembling with rage at the sudden accident.

Life was being rapidly consumed, but the hands never stopped moving...

100%!

Jiaming pulled out the box, then clicked the black button, directly formatting the device.

His companion knew what he should do at that moment.

He took the square box from Jiaming's hand, gritted his teeth, shrunk his body, and cleverly leaped out of a tiny window through the pre-planned escape route, plunging into the sea.

Squeak,

The door was cut open.

The "virus" walked in from outside the door, frowned as it looked at the corpse lying on the equipment.

The device displays a blue "error" message.
