Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 246 The Formation of Destruction! The Nine-Headed Dragon Pattern!
Yu the Great longed to slay the Moonlight Beast for three reasons.

First, we want to remove a stubborn thorn stuck in the sea of ​​dragons;
Secondly, they hope to obtain its blood and acquire the ability of the [Eclipse Image].

Thirdly, recent investigations have revealed that the Moonlight Ripple Beast has consumed a peculiar marrow, making it even more powerful. This peculiar marrow is the Purification Marrow, a rare treasure.

The Essence of Purification ranks 96th on the list of wonders of the endless ocean.

Although it is not ranked as high as the Root of Sea Rising Cherry Blossoms, the Purifying Essence's effects are obvious compared to the Root of Sea Rising Cherry Blossoms, which has elusive and difficult-to-use effects.

[Purification Essence, the heart marrow of the Bodhi Tree, can purify all disharmonious elements. Consuming it grants a chance to obtain the 69th ranked S-class skill, Immaculate Domain.]

It can both purify disharmony and has a chance to grant you an S-rank skill!
Absolutely good stuff.

After giving the soldiers some instructions, Old Zhou continued:
"Regarding your second mission, don't rush it. Just take it easy. Lone S-rank Awakened individuals are often very wary. Being too hasty can easily backfire. If necessary, you can lower your stance and join his team as an assistant."

It means that you don't necessarily have to be in a dominant position in a collaboration. You can be recruited. Be flexible. As long as a cat catches mice, it's a good cat, regardless of whether it's black or white.

"Yes, Elder Zhou."

After giving all the instructions, Old Zhou turned to the side and looked at the thirteen marks on the stone slab behind him.

It was an ordinary stone slab, and the marks on it were all carved by his own hands.

"On this stone slab are engraved thirteen opportunities that are both threatening and beneficial to me, Yu the Great, including the Bodhi tree, the Jianmu tree, and the Xingkun... Over the years, only six of them have been crossed out. I wonder when the Sea of ​​Soaring Dragons will truly become a sea of ​​peace."

"Old Zhou, your wish will surely come true."

"Haha, Li Jiuyuan should be the one to say that."

After finishing his report, Rong Bing left Jiuzhoutai with Zhou Lao's advice. The huge office was no longer secretive and returned to normal. The staff and secretaries went about their work as usual. Zhou Lao silently looked at the stone slab and suddenly recalled the past thirty years of pioneering and pioneering work in the ocean.

"Alas! I'm getting old after all."

"From now on, it will be the world of young people."

"If I could see them all being crossed out before I close my eyes, then I would have lived a worthwhile life."

……

……

drip.

On Shi Ming's communicator, Dr. Chongwen from the Xirang Research Institute sent a message.

Researcher Lu Ping, who had been in a coma for a long time, finally woke up. Chongwen expressed his gratitude to Shi Ming on his behalf. The red markings on Lu Ping's body were now barely visible. He only needed to rest for a few more days to fully recover and return to his research post.

Chongwen has also made new discoveries about the slices of *Prunus cerasifera* through his research over the past two days.

He told Shi Ming all of this over the communicator.

"Thanks to the help of my younger brother, the research on the slices of Haisheng Cherry has made new progress."

"I believe that you, young brother, also know from 'A Glimpse of the Wonders of the Endless Ocean' that the root of the Sea Rising Cherry Blossom was born from a sea beast at the foot of Mount Fujio. The energy in the slice condenses its original power and, affected by the high-level tunneling effect, is gathered into your body."

"This kind of opportunity requires extremely high physical strength and luck, and is difficult to replicate."

"But if you can summarize and absorb it, Brother Minglong might gain some of the power of this powerful sea beast and resonate with it. However, opportunity and danger coexist, and fortune is unknown. You must remember that the sea beast under Mount Fujin is exceptionally powerful, and you must not provoke it alone."

Although Shi Ming had already learned roughly about Chongwen's information through the Eye of the Mortal World, he still sensed the goodwill of Xirang from his words. Such research results could not have been disclosed to him without authorization from his superiors.

And once you tell him.

This indicates a certain wind direction.

He looked at himself in the mirror. The nine-layered patterns on his body had indeed faded a bit compared to the previous two days. The power compressed within them was also being slowly assimilated and absorbed. However, he didn't know if this level of development was enough to successfully evolve an antibody and gain the opportunity to resonate with the source of destruction.

So he simply used the Eye of the Mortal Realm once and took the initiative to ask. "Eye of the Mortal Realm, obtain information."

[Beep~ Beep~]

[Intelligence being compiled...]

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

[Nine-headed dragon pattern]

Due to the law of similarity, through a triple coincidence, the energy within the Root of the Rising Cherry Blossom underwent a subtle change, forming a miniature prototype of the source of destruction within your body. This prototype is extremely small, yet it can help you resonate with the power of destruction, granting you the qualification to bathe in the blood of the Great Black Dragon and seize the Nine-Headed Sanctuary.

But fortune and misfortune are intertwined.

The Great Black Dragon is extremely sensitive to such external threats. It will not allow any other nascent forms of destruction to emerge. If it senses the nascent form of your body's essence, the probability of its awakening will increase dramatically, estimated to be approximately 300 million times higher.

A preliminary framework has been established, providing at least a basic guarantee. We can look for opportunities to acquire more Haisheng cherry blossom slices to further strengthen the connection.

It may not be possible to hunt near Mount Fuji in the short term.

Even with a 3 million times probability, the chance of awakening only increases to 300%. But as the Eye of the Mortal Realm previously stated, if it happens and one is not prepared, the outcome will inevitably be tragic. Until one's total stamina and endurance reach 500, giving one the ability to confront the Holy Sea Beast head-on, it's best not to provoke it.

Stay calm and don't get carried away.

Shi Ming fought for three days on the Tenglong Sea.

The sea creatures of this area have met their doom. Any sea creature caught by the bait is doomed to death and becomes points for Shi Ming.

In three days, Shi Ming and his crew killed a total of 12 sea monsters.

There are two Class A sea monsters:

Iron-blooded Golden Claws, Mysterious Darkness and Capital.

A three-headed, Class B sea monster
Seven Class C sea monsters.

The A-class sea monsters in the Sea of ​​Dragons, under the tutelage of the three general-class drifting ships, especially the Kunwu, have become cunning and sharp, making them much more difficult to lure.

Of the five coordinates, only two were successfully fished out.

There were three more, and even using S-grade decoys, it was difficult to lure them out. Even with a thorough search using the marine radar, the sea monsters were incredibly wary and vanished again in the blink of an eye.

This made him miss the boiling sea.

The sea creatures there are aggressive and numerous.

He absolutely loved it there.

But the Lord of the Abyss is not to be trifled with. Once it senses that you have entered its territory, the Extreme Evil Sanctuary will surely descend from the sky.

Just as he was thinking about how to further improve efficiency, Huang Qiang knocked on the door of the captain's cabin.

"Captain, the Admiral-class drifting ship [Asahi] has arrived nearby and requests to conduct a transaction related to the carcass of an A-class sea monster."

The Asahi order is for self-pickup.

Shi Ming didn't have any free time to deliver goods to their door.
