Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 274 A Second Exploration of the Boiling Sea!

The Sea of ​​Desolation is unbearably hot.

The further south you sail, the higher the temperature gets.

A thin mist rises from the deserted sea, creating a spectacular scene of steaming blue waters. Ships sailing in this area feel as if they have entered a steam room, but for the Yuncheng, which is slowly navigating in the mist, it can only be described as a natural sauna.

This ship is now a treasure trove of hidden talents.

Even the cook is a B-rank Awakened, with formidable combat power! He could easily subdue a D-rank Awakened like Junichi with just a few strokes of a cleaver. Each of these crew members is capable of holding their own on a Gold-class drifting ship and securing a core position.

Naturally, they are not afraid of such high temperatures.

In the captain's cabin, Shi Ming personally monitored the Da Yun's maritime patrol radar, paying attention to all signs of life and abnormal fluctuations within a radius of thirty nautical miles. The Da Yun's maritime patrol radar could now detect areas covering thirty nautical miles. Even without his personal intervention, the ship's cannons and firepower were enough to ensure that the sea monsters would not return. Unfortunately, due to the Abyss Lord's anger, the once rampant Boiling Sea was now calm and tranquil, and had become the area with the lowest density of sea monsters. The voyage had not yielded much.

"Captain, the edge of the Boiling Sea is just ahead."

"Alright, halt the voyage and stabilize the situation."

There's no need to let Da Yun go any further. This nearly 100-meter-long ship is too conspicuous. If it were to be attacked by the Abyss Lord, it would be too big a target and harder to escape. It's better to leave it here and guard it.

Shi Ming threw the Sun-Shooting Arrow out of the warehouse.

Immediately after using his lower body to exert force, he lightly leaped and stood firmly on the Sun-Shooting Peak. Then, like an arrow released from a bow, he took off in flight mode and headed towards the depths of the Boiling Sea. At the same time, the Great Cloud, which was staying in place, activated its stealth mode and waited like a sentinel for the captain to call it back.

A second exploration of the boiling sea!

Submersible mode activated!
Mimicry mode activated!

Shi Ming transformed into a streak of light and plunged into the scorching seawater. Then, using the mimicry mode of shooting the sun, he transformed the canoe into a fish commonly found in the boiling sea, nimbly darting through the water and heading towards his target.

"We must be careful!"

He has too many messy things on him right now. Just stepping into the Fujin Mountain area can increase the probability of the Great Black Dragon awakening from its slumber by three million times, so how can he not be careful when he comes to the Boiling Sea, which is also guarded by a Saint-level sea beast?
"Wealth is found in danger."

"I refuse to believe that with my current methods, I can't retrieve a small mirror from a sunken ship in the vast ocean."

Nothing in the world is absolutely safe, and the best opportunity never exists.

The adventurous spirit inherent in strong individuals is the greatest driving force for growth.

……

……

……

King-class drifting ship, lighthouse.

Sanctuary Laboratory.

A deputy pushed the door open and entered.

"Doctor, the plan to acquire the Purification Essence through official channels has failed. Da Yu claims that all the remaining Purification Essence has been donated to Black Gold. We tried adding Shi Ming's personal communicator using various accounts, but none of them were accepted."

The doctor listened to his deputy's report without even looking up.

“Then add his subordinates! I refuse to believe that his silver ship and rabble can be a united front. There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. As long as we offer them substantial rewards, we can always find a breakthrough! Promise them ten times the price! If all else fails, use a third-party drifting ship as a springboard!” “Doctor… we can’t penetrate his subordinates’ communicators either.”

"waste!"

The doctor finally raised his head, but his face remained expressionless.

The deputy continued to argue:
"Perhaps, Shi Ming has already sold off all the Purification Essence? According to the secret report from our informant in Black Gold, Black Gold also purchased 500 ml of Purification Essence from Shi Ming. The reason why Shi Ming did not pass through is probably because he was short-sighted and had already sold it all off. He has no Purification Essence left on him."

Black gold again!

The PhD student frowned; his research colleagues were utterly foolish.

Even if all the purification essence is used to seal the prison, it can only suppress one sea monster. However, if the purification essence is given to him for research, it will surely benefit the present and future generations. At that time, not only will the threat of a tiny insect under the black gold disappear, but the threat of all the S-class sea monsters in the entire endless ocean will also be gone.

Humanity will once again become the dominant species in this world!
Since we can't buy it, we can use other methods to eliminate the brutal power in the flesh and blood of the Great Black Dragon and make it docile.

"This matter is progressing in an orderly manner."

"In addition, have you recruited more volunteers to participate in the project?"

Upon hearing this question, the doctor's two deputies looked at each other, but neither of them answered.

Volunteer?

There are no volunteer test subjects.

The purpose of building the Lighthouse Ship is freedom and equality. The awakened individuals who live on this ship today are all elites, and they all understand the risks behind such experiments. They would never willingly become guinea pigs, and if the coercion were exposed, it would be a huge scandal.

Without volunteers, the project will be shelved.

The doctor's eyes darted around.

An idea came to him in an instant.

"Find some volunteers from the Kingdom of Vortex. I've heard they are loyal to Emperor Ren, have a strong spirit of sacrifice, and are always willing to devote themselves to research, taking pride in it. The endless ocean will remember their contributions... Invest some experimental funds and build an affiliated laboratory in their name, named... um, 711. Remember, we only need volunteers, and the procedures must be absolutely just."

"Understood, Doctor."

Having solved a major problem, the doctor bent down and continued to observe the changes in the flesh and blood in the petri dish.

The flesh and blood of the Great Black Dragon writhed, emanating an uncontrollable aura of destruction. On the other side, the remains of the Undying Evil Eye had already sprouted dense tissues within the blood of the "Returnee" Jia Fang, with each tissue tipped with a small, darting eye.

"It's amazing!"

"The cells of the Undying Evil Eye can actually fuse with a portion of the Great Black Dragon's energy. Shouldn't the power of destruction and the power of eternity be completely antagonistic? How can such a fusion occur? If all the powers of the Holy Temple can be fused, could a unique, advanced being be created?"

"If the virus were here, it would definitely give me a completely new perspective."

Unfortunately, the awakened one codenamed Virus has been missing for a long time. The Lighthouse has tried everything but has been unable to find her anywhere in the endless ocean. Although she can be executed by controlling the Skynet chip, once executed, the probability of recovering the Infinite Virus will be as small as finding a needle in a haystack.

This disappearance also became an unsolved mystery.
