Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 242 "Am I the Great Black Dragon?"

Under Li Jiuyuan's guidance, Shi Ming finally set foot on the Great Yu, and only then did he realize how big this drifting ship could be.

Magnificent! Spectacular!
With a larger space and more efficient utilization than the twelve stars, as well as a dragon-like aesthetic that far surpasses that of Europe, this floating city truly deserves the title of 002. This also makes Shi Ming even more puzzled: if such a creation is only ranked as 002, then what is the mystery of the ship numbered 001?

It took Shi Ming about 30 minutes to finally arrive at Dayu's medical level.

"Minglong, this is my junior brother,"

After exchanging greetings, Shi Ming saw the unconscious researcher.

His name was Lu Ping. At this moment, his veins were bulging all over his body, and his skin was covered with countless blood-red lines. He lay in a strictly isolated monitoring room, his body covered with patches and catheters of various shapes.

Having already become familiar with each other, the way they addressed each other was no longer so polite; they all addressed each other by their names or titles. Dr. Chongwen also obtained five slices of the root of the sea cherry tree to conduct a small-scale preliminary study.

If successful, you can apply again later.

Li Jiuyuan opened a glass container containing five pieces of the root of the Sea Rising Cherry.

As soon as the vessel was opened, Shi Ming could feel the rampant and destructive aura in the air.

But the others didn't seem to notice.

They were like ordinary plant slices, containing powerful destructive force. The moment they were opened, they resonated with the destructive force that Shi Ming had already digested most of, causing his body's cells to begin to stir.

"what's the situation?"

"There wasn't this unusual last time? Could it be that the quantity is larger this time, making it more attractive?"

"Let's see how to help this researcher first!"

"Eyes of the Mortal World, gather intelligence!"

[Beep~ Beep~]

[Intelligence being compiled...]

[Searching. Confirming detailed coordinates... Search successful, intelligence summary in progress... Intelligence generated.]

【Erosion - Destruction.】

[Awakened individuals with a stamina below 100 will suffer a destructive erosion if they forcibly consume the Root of the Rising Sea Cherry or remain in prolonged contact with the Great Black Dragon. This will cause a violent rejection reaction, resulting in nine distinct lines appearing on their skin, gradually deepening in color. They will also lose their reason and transform into beasts driven only by destruction. Fortunately, the Awakened individual before us, who was being corrupted, consumed the leaves and branches of the Snow-Capped Greenery immediately. The powerful frost and life force allowed him to resist the erosion from the source of destruction for a short period!]

[Methods to combat the destructive erosion syndrome:]

[1. Extraction. The chaotic aura of destruction within him is forcibly extracted by a creature that wields destructive power.]

2. Newborn. They eat the fruit of the large toon tree.

[3. Suppression. By increasing its stamina to over 100, the destructive power within the Root of the Rising Sea Cherry Blossom can be suppressed, allowing it to slowly awaken.]

The Eye of the Mortal offers three solutions.

All of this is illusory and uncertain. Shi Ming felt that things might be a little more complicated than he had imagined.

Currently, the only creature capable of controlling destructive power is the Great Black Dragon.

Want it to help you?
He'd probably get slapped to death.

The fruit of the Chinese toon tree has the power to bring the dead back to life. Even if such a rare treasure exists, it is a national treasure and cannot be used lightly.

Reaching 100 stamina points is even more difficult! To put it simply, how many sea beasts did Shi Ming kill before he could increase his stamina to 185 points using only the power of the crimson markings on his right arm? This is not something that can be achieved overnight. Even Quelt of Europa at that time needed to activate "Invincible War God" several times to break through the 100-point mark, and even then, it had an expiration period.

Disaster,
too difficult!
As he frowned in thought, Rong Bing noticed a new detail.

"Minglong, the nine wrinkles on your neck seem to have darkened a bit since you first arrived?"

"Ok?"

Shi Ming believed that he did have some, but it was not very obvious.

"Are you feeling any discomfort?"

Chongwen asked the question.

"Nothing unusual, Doctor. Perhaps it resonated with Lu Ping's aura. May I examine the patterns on his body more closely?" "Be careful."

Chongwen nodded, reached out his right hand to the switch on the isolation door of the monitoring room, and opened the tight protective layer.

Shi Ming stepped into the monitoring room.

The moment the quarantine was lifted, he strangely felt that the destructive aura within his body, generated from consuming the roots of the Sea Rising Cherry, began to stir.

The feeling was like a general encountering one of his stray soldiers!
1 + 1 + 1 = ?

【incredible!】

[Thanks to your past invasion of the Great Black Dragon's dream, your deep impersonation of a Sanctuary-level sea beast, your absorption of the Great Black Dragon's habits and aura, your consumption of the Sea Rising Cherry Root, and your use of its signature skill "Nine-Headed Sanctuary"!]

[The rootless and ownerless destructive energy here instinctively mistakes you for the master of destruction!]

Perhaps you are already a mini version of the Great Black Dragon!

[At least symbolically, this is true; this is what's known as the "law of similarity"—these rootless, destructive energies desperately want to return to your body!]

[Perhaps you could try extracting the destructive energy from this poor awakened one's body?]

If a being is the master of the Great Black Dragon's dream realm, possesses an aura of destruction, and has also unleashed the Nine-Headed Sanctuary skill,
Therefore, according to the law of similarity, there is a 99% probability that it is indeed the Great Black Dragon!

With all three elements present, it was mistaken by the wandering aura of destruction as the master of destruction.

So, wouldn't the first condition for saving this researcher have just been met?

Following his intuition, Shi Ming extended his right hand.

He touched the red markings on the young researcher's body.

call--

He felt a strong electric shock!
Numb! Urgent! Explode!
A powerful, stimulating, and destructive force surged into his body one after another, like American customers frantically vying for a free purchase spot, or like the tide during a flood. In an instant, Shi Ming felt extremely intoxicated, and the feeling he had when he swallowed the remnant of Hai Sheng Ying rushed to his head ten or twenty times stronger.

It seems that this guy has ingested far more than his own few light and flimsy remnants!

In just a moment, he almost lost his balance!

Even with his strong self-control, he almost fell to the ground.

Chongwen and the others noticed the unusual situation and immediately surrounded them.

"Young man, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just a little dizzy."

He straightened up and looked inward.

The previously faded nine-layered patterns turned scarlet, flamboyant and unrestrained.

The researcher lying on the hospital bed had his breathing become much more even. The originally terrifying nine-layered patterns on his body faded a lot in a few seconds, as if they had been transferred from his body to Shi Ming's body and compressed to the extreme, appearing only as a scarlet spot.

"This... is really hard to understand."

The soldiers were also taken aback.

He had originally planned to begin his reign of terror today, swallowing a slice of meat and taking the lead as a true guinea pig.

But it seems things have taken a turn for the better?
This Minglong not only has antibodies,

It can also be used as a vacuum cleaner?

While the others stared in disbelief, Li Jiuyuan noticed a new anomaly.

"Teacher, these slices of cherry blossoms that we just obtained have withered."

"???"

Shi Ming was also taken aback.

No, this shouldn't have anything to do with me, right?
Do you really think I'm some kind of Dark Dragon?
