Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 247 "Five Fresh Sea Beast Carcasses?"

The sun shines on the endless ocean.

A majestic, drifting ship.

"General, how about I take the small boat to trade for this Class A sea beast carcass? There's no need for you to go personally."

A loyal subordinate, standing behind the imposing figure of the Asahi Admiral, offered his advice.

Trading on the endless ocean is fraught with uncertainty.

Although the King-class drifting ships conduct strength verification when registering the Hunter Terminal, no one can guarantee that the terminal is still being used by its original owner after the verification. For a General-class drifting ship, traveling two thousand nautical miles for an uncertain transaction is a very unwise decision.

But loyal subordinates do not question the general's choice.

A general is a beacon at sea.

To this subordinate, the general was like an iron tower with a towering reflection, a majestic body like a rock, an unyielding battle flag in the sea breeze, and a rising sun.

The female general who commands this admiral-class drifting ship!
Jin Yingri.

She turned around and looked at her subordinate. Her sharp, angular face lacked any feminine softness, but instead possessed a sharpness and fortitude honed by the winds and the sea. When the era of wandering arrived, she was just a child. In the blink of an eye, thirty years had passed, and she had become a renowned female general of the sea.

"It's alright. It's been a long time since I've been to the Sea of ​​Dragons. I'll take this opportunity to visit Dayu and catch up with my uncles."

"Prepare the Pure Crystal; I want to meet this hunter myself."

The person who could easily kill the A-level sea beast Xuanming Yujing must not be an unknown figure.

Of course, it's also possible that it's a trap.

If it's a trap, the Asahi is no pushover.

……

……

……

"Captain, they're here."

In the distance, Shi Ming saw a giant ship, over 500 meters long, gradually emerging from the horizon. Through the telescope, he could vaguely see a dashing woman standing on the lookout tower, like the soul of the ship.

The Asahi also had a good reputation, and not the kind of infamous reputation that the Kurosha had.

Trading with such a well-known drifting ship, especially on Yu the Great's territory, is not something to worry about too much. Of course, Shi Ming is not worried either. He is focused on developing his skills and doesn't want to cause trouble, but he is not afraid of trouble either. If anyone dares to bully him, the outcome is self-evident.

Prince Art of the Son of the Sun serves as a cautionary tale.

At this moment, the deck of the Grand Canal, stretching for dozens of meters, was lined with the carcasses of sea monsters. Apart from the Class A sea monsters, the others were all hunted by the crew.

Even the lowest grade are B-level sea monsters.

The bodies of C-grade sea monsters don't fetch a good price and take up space. After a kill, the right arm with the red stripe absorbs its energy, keeping the essence as a raw material for cooking. The other parts of the body are either used as bait quickly or returned to the sea; they are not left on the ship for long.

The Asahi is slowly approaching.

Its size is five or six times that of the Dayun. The two ships meet in the vast sea, one large and one small, forming a stark contrast. The Dayun, which looks like a mere silver-plated drifting ship, is in no way inferior in terms of aura. Shi Ming also stands at the bow, looking at the guests who have come from afar with a smile on his face.

General Jin, along with five trusted confidants, sailed over from Dinglan's "Asahi" in a small boat. As an A-level Awakened herself, she was not afraid of any possible conspiracies targeting her.

"General Jin, I have long admired your name."

"I never expected the general to come in person for such a transaction."

As a seller, polite conversation is naturally indispensable.

General Jin of the Asahi was somewhat taken aback when he saw the five sea monster corpses neatly arranged on the deck of this unremarkable drifting ship.

The largest one was the A-level sea beast Xuanming Yujing.
The other few, judging by their imposing presence, were at least B-level sea beasts.

Most importantly, they were all very fresh.

Some of the cuts were still covered with a light layer of ice crystals. The tender meat that had been separated showed no signs of decay from being left out for a long time. It was just like when she was a child, when she accompanied her father to inspect the seafood market, the freshest seafood that the fishermen had pulled out of the water!
"Kill on the spot!" General Jin narrowed his eyes.

On the Sea of ​​Soaring Dragons, has such a powerful hunter ever appeared?

Who is he?
Even the Kunwu Rong soldiers would find it difficult to kill so many sea beasts in a short period of time.
And he's even piloting a silver ship like this?

However, the more I look at this silver ship, the more I feel a sense of déjà vu.

It seems like I've seen it somewhere before.

The deal is important.

"Are you the one with unparalleled guns and cannons?" General Jin said loudly.

???

What gun-wielding invincibility?
"Captain, Gunfire Warrior is the ID I registered on the Hunter Terminal..."

Shi Ming hesitated for a moment.

Your taste in naming is far inferior to mine.

"Indeed, General Jin, the sea beast you ordered has been taken care of. It's a Grade A sea beast, Xuanming Yujing, with a complete body, not even missing a single tail. It's perfect for research. Once the research is complete, eating its meat can increase the crew's stamina and defense. 300 Pure Crystals, excellent value for money."

Shi Ming explained.

Jin Ying pointed to the other sea creatures.

"Did you hunt all these other sea creatures to sell?"

"Correct!"

Shi Ming replied.

The bodies of these Class B sea monsters have not yet found a buyer.

Sea monster carcasses without blood are not particularly popular.

Shi Ming could have avoided touching the sea beasts' wounds during the hunt, leaving some active blood inside, which would have driven up the selling price. However, these sea beasts were all of ordinary size, and their blood was insufficient to support the awakening of multiple people. In particular, the Iron-Blooded Golden Claw had little blood, except for its large amount of flesh.

"If the General is interested, we can sell them as a package at a 20% discount. In addition, there is an A-grade sea beast, Ironblood Golden Claw, with two large claws damaged. As a testament to the friendship between the two ships, it can be sold to the General for only 100 Pure Crystals."

Two Class A sea monsters?
When have A-level sea monsters in the Sea of ​​Soaring Dragons ever been so easy to catch?
This person is only in his early twenties, and the drifting ship he is on is also unremarkable. He doesn't seem like a high-level awakened person at all. Could he be a relative of Rong Bing, abusing his power to secretly sell the sea beasts captured by the Kunwu?
She felt she had seen through the essence of things.

But naturally, they wouldn't say it outright. In any case, someone who could produce so many sea beasts must have some kind of strength or background. It's best to avoid provoking them on the Sea of ​​Soaring Dragons.

"it is good!"

"Young man, you're quite young, but your strength is admirable. We'll take this one and a half A-grade sea beasts! And that most complete B-grade sea beast, pack them up and name your price."

"General, you're too kind! 400 Pure Crystals and that B-grade sea beast are a gift from me to you."

The carcass of a Class B sea monster is worthless.

The meat on the two claws of that half-A-grade sea beast Ironblood Golden Claw was the most succulent, but Shi Ming was already tired of eating it. Selling it for 100 Pure Dome Crystals wasn't a loss.

The transaction was completed perfectly, with both parties satisfied.

There were no setbacks.

As he was leaving, General Jin gave Shi Ming a meaningful look.

"If you can find the blood of an A-grade sea beast that can awaken a being, I, Asahi, am willing to offer 900 Pure Crystals! You know how much that price is; I will never let you or your boss suffer a loss!"

Shi Ming understood the deeper meaning in Jin Yingying's words.

It seems that this female general mistakenly believes herself to be a crew member or broker of a powerful, embezzling ship.

Too,

The hunter's strength is directly proportional to the level of the drifting ship. What real, powerful hunter would be piloting an ordinary ship and selling so many bloodless sea beast carcasses?
