Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 257 The Empress Has Another Trump Card!? Leave the ship behind!
A dazzling ice flower, stretching five hundred meters, bloomed under the moonlight. The frozen sea was a pure white expanse, and the shadow of the moon frozen within was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Call ~
Shi Ming exhaled a breath of extremely cold air, and a layer of frost and snow condensed on his brows. A large amount of ice shards also condensed on his hair, then broke off and fell onto the ice layer.

The enemy was completely annihilated?

With ten times the power and the attack of the Third Law, ranked 29th, Shi Ming felt that even if the Empress, as a double S-level awakener, could survive, she would inevitably be severely injured, lose all combat abilities, and become a prisoner at the mercy of others.

Unless she can possess a super armor skill like the captain's, such as the immunity to attacks.

The Great Cold returns to its sheath.

Next comes the moment of harvest.

……

The Eye of the Mortal Realm sensed the aura of a wondrous object; it was extremely well-hidden, yet it could not escape the Eye of the Mortal Realm's observation!

Every legendary figure at sea has their own extraordinary adventures. The endless ocean is full of treasures, so how could the Snow Queen, who reigns supreme over the icy seas, not have one or two trump cards up her sleeve?

【Wonderful object! Ivan’s nesting doll! 】

[Seven layers of nested dolls, one after another, breaking through the shell to avert disaster, transforming and being reborn!]

[Ranked 31st, this wondrous item can withstand seven fatal attacks. Its power, derived from the colors red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, can be used to activate the power of the nesting dolls, sealing itself to block one physical attack below the Saintly level. Each use destroys one layer of the nesting doll!]

[Attention, she's about to hatch!]

???

A powerful force surged forth from beneath the Ice Blast Flower!

The shadow of the moon, tightly embedded in the ice, broke through a layer of light blue shell. In an instant, the Moon Empress emerged from the shell, and nearly a hundred heads of Baikal sea serpents, like a hundred arms that had grown out, attacked Shi Ming madly!

Sure enough, the one who dared to snatch the sea beast from the hands of Yu the Great and Kunwu had some trump cards up his sleeve!
The Empress is incredibly fast!

But, the Black Tortoise Shield!

Shi Ming brushed against her face, using the Xuanwu Shield to block the Shadow Serpent Mother's fatal blow. 50% of the power was reflected back, causing the Empress's face to turn pale with a hint of red. The hundreds of serpent heads behind her drooped down, like arms with broken bones.

At this moment, the Big Dipper, carrying the starlight of the Big Dipper, sped towards us from afar.

The empress escaped death by using the nesting dolls, but she never had another chance.

She almost bit her pearly white teeth to pieces!
Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

With only one player left, there's no chance of a comeback.

Countless Baikal sea serpents scattered, and the Empress retreated to avoid Shi Ming's post-earthquake attack. Her body suddenly changed from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, and then a painting fell from where she was, disappearing mysteriously. This was the two-dimensional girl's "Painting Person" skill. Although the two-dimensional girl died, she had also made a painting for this Empress, which she carried with her and was able to escape at the critical moment.

The Empress was a decisive person.

The Moon's Shadow, frozen to absolute zero and rendered useless, could not be taken away; it could only remain!
In the two consecutive battles, Shi Ming used the Xuanwu Shield three times, which consumed 60% of his stamina. The full exertion of the Third Law also consumed a lot of his strength. He had less than one-tenth or one-twelfth of his stamina left, and he was not confident that he could "pursue the enemy with his remaining strength".

Unless you stab yourself in the back and actively activate a death trap.

But it is not necessary.

The Third Law cannot be used today. The light after the use of the Strange Matryoshka Doll was cyan, and there are probably only two chances left. Even if we get it, its function overlaps quite a bit with the Xuanwu Shield, so there is no need to waste a chance to fight to the death to get it.

The stranded shadow of the moon is the best harvest.

“Shi Ming…”

The soldiers also crawled out of the ice.

This Kunwu captain was nearly exhausted.

Above the constellation of the Big Dipper, the light of Yao Guang shone brightly. The healing starlight and Zhao Liluo's skills descended upon Shi Ming and Rong Bing at the same time. Warm water flowed slowly through every part of their bodies, bringing healing to their injuries and restoring their strength.

It was indeed remarkably effective, with an astonishing amount of treatment! No wonder the captain couldn't forget it!

Standing on one side of the Big Dipper constellation, Zhao Liluo used his skill, Azure Waves, while gazing at the boundless, pure white spectacle of the sea and the stranded shadow of the moon. For a moment, he wondered if he had arrived in the far north.

Is this stone inscription really human?

Could it be a savage beast transformed into a human?
We should take this opportunity to explore him thoroughly.

……

The Moonlight Beast is dead, completely frozen in the ice. This sea beast, resembling the legendary Qilin and covered in scales, was originally only about ten meters long. The several tens of meters in size it displayed during the battle was an illusion. After its death, it naturally dissipated and returned to its original size.

Even so, transportation is extremely difficult.

To prevent the theft of their abilities, all the transfers of the sea beasts by Yu the Great were subject to strict contactless monitoring and transportation standards. In addition, a new batch of people in charge were rotated every 15 minutes to ensure that no one could cheat their way to obtaining their skills.

Of course, after that, whoever is assigned the bathing privilege will need to contribute enough contribution points.

Shi Ming will also receive the reward he deserves.

This includes not only the four pre-determined rewards, but also the additional "Shadow of the Moon".

The Shadow of the Moon, the base and headquarters of "Snow Country," saw all its members perish in the extreme cold. Their captain did not use the abilities of the Great Ivan the Madman on them. Therefore, this infamous organization, whose notoriety rivaled that of the Black Society, which wreaked havoc on the endless icy sea and gave even Katyusha a headache, was wiped out in one fell swoop.

This ship will become Shi Ming's personal trophy.

The treasures and secrets on it await discovery.

Perhaps, in the future, we can ask Katyusha for the bounty?

While enjoying the healing power of the Canglang River, Shi Ming pondered how to make the most of it.

The Bodhi Tree lies deep beneath the sea. Shi Ming will explore it again after he has recovered his strength, so as not to cause any further trouble.

……

……

……

Yu the Great. The Institute of the Breath of Earth.

"You mean, this canoe belongs to Shi Ming?"

Chongwen's voice trembled, fluctuating wildly. This was understandable; after more than twenty years, he had finally obtained clues about his elder brother Shangwu and the gold-class drifting ship [Tunan], how could he remain calm?

The death report of the SkyNet chip terminal cannot be wrong.

but,
Perhaps a miracle will happen?

If we ask this young man Shi Ming where this canoe, which is so similar to the one numbered 360, came from, we might be able to solve the mystery of his brother's disappearance. Even if the ending cannot be changed, seeing the [Tu Nan] would be a great comfort.

More than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

If he could do it all over again, he would stop the quest to find Xuanwu at all costs.

Li Jiuyuan entered the laboratory.

"teacher……"

"The Big Dipper has sent a secret message: the operation to kill the Moonlight Ripple Beast was a success. They will return after collecting the Purifying Essence of the Bodhi Tree!"

……

"Great!"
