Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 237 [Yu the Great]'s Invitation

The warriors from Yu the Great wrote letters in a style familiar to Shi Ming, making him feel as if he had returned to his past life.

"Brother Minglong, greetings."

"I have always remembered your kindness and help since we parted ways at Mount Fuji. I wish you all the best."

"I am writing to you now for two reasons. First, I sincerely invite you to visit the Sea of ​​Dragons. I hope this opportunity will allow me to extend my hospitality and express my gratitude."

"Secondly, Dr. Chongwen's student at the Xirang Research Institute, which belongs to Dayu, has undergone a physical mutation due to improper operation during research. A large number of dark nine-layer marks have appeared on his skin, and he is on the verge of death. Dr. Chongwen noticed through the footage of the battle of Fujin Mountain that these nine-layer marks are very similar to the marks on the necks of the Minglong brothers. He is eager to save his student and hopes to get your guidance and support."

"If you would like to grant my request, I would be extremely grateful."

"Wishing you well. Shen Tu Kou."

Although Shi Ming did consider using Shen Tu Kou's connections to establish a relationship with Yu the Great when he rescued Shen Tu Kou.

But unexpectedly, the story unfolded like this?
The nine-layered pattern is an adverse reaction of the body after consuming the roots of the Sea Rising Cherry. Only those with a physical strength of over 100 can minimize the risk of swallowing it. Did anyone swallow this thing alive before the time of Yu the Great? Or was it a researcher?

So brave?!

How much of the root of Hai Sheng Ying was consumed by him?
Did you eat the whole thing?

Probably not.

With his physical strength, Shi Ming felt that the researcher would start to feel hot and feverish after eating just a tiny bit of the root, which was negligible in weight. If the researcher had eaten the whole root, Shi Ming did not think there was any possibility of him being saved.

I guess he only ate a tiny bit of the slice.

Shi Ming looked at the letter and pondered.

In fact, he had originally left a hidden hook as a means of contacting Yu the Great. This hook was the small wooden boat that sent Shen Tu Kou back. It looked ordinary, but it was actually modeled after the boat that shot down the sun, and the bottom was specially engraved with the number 360.

If this is discovered by relevant personnel, it will surely allow them to establish contact with the Xirang Research Institute.

The ship could not possibly be returned to them.

But there are still ways to build relationships.

Unexpectedly, this hidden clue went unnoticed, but the Nine-Tailed Pattern came in handy first? It even directly connected with the Root of the Sea Rising Cherry Blossom? There's no need to think of any other methods.

It was an unexpected bonus.

Shi Ming had heard of Dr. Chongwen from the Xirang Research Institute before. The team led by Dr. Chongwen was responsible for the analysis and translation of the two rankings on the large stone tablet. If he could build a good relationship with Dr. Chongwen, it might be easier to view the large stone tablet in the future.

Shi Ming thought for a moment and replied in the same format:
"Greetings."

"It's nothing more than a simple act of helping each other on Mount Fujio; there's no need to worry about it."

"The Sea of ​​Soaring Dragons is the most peaceful sea area on the endless ocean. Its scenery and people are very appealing. Since I have important matters to discuss, I should come as invited. The nine marks are caused by swallowing something, but apart from the marks, there is nothing unusual."

"Please convey my respects to Dr. Chongwen. I will do my best to fulfill the request. Your matter is urgent, and the Dragon General will be heading to the Sea of ​​Soaring Dragons soon."

"Respectfully yours, Rong An."

Shi Ming is a person with a sense of symmetry. If the letter he receives is in a formal format, his reply will also be in a formal format.

It's a feeling I really miss.

The traditional form of letter writing is probably one of the few remaining romantic traditions from the land-based era.

The message was sent out, and Shen Tu Kou should receive it in about two hours.

There's nothing else going on in the Europa Sea right now, so we might as well rest and head straight to the Dragon Sea. As for the original plan to make empty promises to the Nameless Cocoon, we'll leave that for another time. It's only been ten days since we parted ways in the Sea of ​​Ashes.

When taming animals, you also need to learn how to push and pull.

The timing of meetings and feedback with investors should also be carefully managed.

The "Contract Core" he obtained from the Scorpion King Pyramid has been upgraded to level 5, allowing him to form contracts with A-level sea beasts.

[Contract Core] [Level: 5]

[The contract core created using the methods inscribed on the Divine Revelation Stone Tablet has undergone further transformation after being enhanced by special power. The level of the sea beast it can control has also been upgraded. By integrating it into A-rank or lower ferocious beasts or sea beasts, a contract can be formed with the corresponding ferocious beast or sea beast. Alternatively, the corpse of the corresponding sea beast can be transformed into a puppet-like object that obeys commands until death.]

[Upgrade Requirements: 5000 grams of flesh and blood from five types of S-rank ferocious beasts or sea monsters, and 5000 grams of blood.]

If you advance one more level, that would be level 6.

If nothing unexpected happens, there's a high probability that we can control the S-class sea monster.

By the time……

Hey.

There is only one Contract Core. Although he learned how to make a Contract Core from the divine revelation stele in the pyramid, the raw materials required for the Contract Core are not easy to find in the ocean. Even if he finds them and makes them, he will still need to upgrade them step by step. It is better to use the limited resources on this one first.

The Nameless Cocoon possesses two major skills: [Undying Worm] and [Law of Immortality].

Can't be killed.

But once he emerges from his cocoon, disaster is inevitable, and he might even turn against his savior on the spot.

It would be better to take him as a subordinate.

The third-ranked Immortality Law is an extremely powerful single-target annihilation skill. Once hit, a flood of memories rushes in, and the consciousness sinks into eternal oblivion in an instant. If one cannot wake up at the beginning, then one will never wake up again.

That's pretty much a bug.

Investing is inherently risky, and it's quite reasonable and common for those who are obsessed with investing to end up losing money themselves.

……

……

……

The Sea of ​​Desolation.

Beneath the black gold of the King-class drifting ship.

Within the giant cocoon entwined with black threads, the trapped insect suddenly twitched instinctively, like a human sneezing.

【strangeness.】

【…】

That human dared to try and profit from the nine-headed dragon; he truly doesn't know the depths of the ocean.

If he is consumed, I wonder how long it will take to find another being with whom I can resonate with spiritual power.

Two years!

Two whole years have passed since it awoke from its cocoon and was born with new intelligence!
For the past two years, being unable to move, unable to be born, and unable to emerge from its cocoon has been an immense torment for it.

God knows how it got through those two years.

When bored, it could only use its mental power to spy on the humans on this king-class drifting ship, to sense their civilization, observe their behavior, and learn their language. This made it realize that although humans are small in body, they are very cunning, and there are indeed some with great perseverance who can unleash power comparable to S-class sea beasts.

Humanity.

Cunning and despicable.

But no matter how cunning they are, they cannot stop their own birth. Once they emerge from their cocoons, they will devour them all!

Daring to suppress this "King Insect" for so long is courting death!
