Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 275 Obtaining the rare artifact "Twin Mirror"!
Shi Ming carefully piloted the Sun Shooter, navigating more than 200 nautical miles through the Boiling Sea, and finally arrived at the coordinates given by the Lamp of Wishes.

The old capital of Congo!
The dilapidated buildings are not worth exploring; they are more like another time capsule sealed at the bottom of the sea. Under the high temperature and pressure of the seawater, they are completely different from the city in our memories, leaving only a ruin.

During the process, he deliberately avoided the few remaining sea creatures.

Even if it was a sea beast that could be killed with a tentacle, he did not provoke it. With the Lord of the Abyss beside him, he did not want to cause any trouble. He had absolutely no interest in D-level and C-level sea beasts.

Keep a low profile if you can.

On the seabed, a huge shipwreck lies submerged above the ruins of a city.

The ship is about 380 meters long and has a very stylish design. Judging by its size, a normal person would definitely think it is a general-class drifting ship. However, according to the intelligence Shi Ming has collected, there are only a handful of general-class drifting ships that have sunk on the endless ocean in the past thirty years. Apart from the [Black Society] which he personally sank, there are also the [Red Maple City], [Great Blue Mountain], [Black Eagle] which were disintegrated due to sea monsters, and the [Snow Maiden] which was frozen in the far north due to running aground.

None of them match this ship in the boiling sea.

"strangeness."

"Could it be an ordinary ship from the land era? Or just a large gold ship?"

"Let's explore first and get the Twin Mirror."

The electric eel, mimicking the Sunshot, swam towards the sunken ship, flashing with lightning-like arcs of light.

Shi Ming had already explored the endless sea area using the map.

There are no powerful sea monsters lurking here.

The electric eel swam into the ship, flicking its tail. What greeted it was a bloodstain stretching over thirty meters long on the hull. The bloodstains were remarkably fresh, unlike anything from long ago. It was as if a pitiful sea creature had encountered some unknown force and exploded from within, spraying filth and blood onto the hull, giving the already rotting ship a layer of red graffiti-like mural.

Shi Ming blinked.

[Blood stains still retain the power of the Evil Sanctuary!]

[A B-rank sea beast that had been lurking here exploded under the Abyss Lord's wrath, leaving behind its remains. As for why the Abyss Lord went on a killing spree, perhaps it can be traced back to the story of you severing one of its evil tentacles with your Arm of Power...]

[Black Gold should award you; you indirectly maintained peace in this sea area and fulfilled their duties.]

So it turns out there are sea creatures here after all.

It's dead.

However, Shi Ming did not lower his guard just because there were no enemies present; on the contrary, he became even more vigilant. A ship possessing the 43rd ranked artifact was clearly no ordinary vessel, and might even harbor other treasures comparable to the Twin Mirrors.

Shi Ming avoided the exaggerated bloodstains and entered the mysterious ship's hull, which was already collapsed and damaged beyond recognition.

The ship's hull is corroded and mottled, and all equipment has been damaged by high pressure and high temperature. It is already quite remarkable that the ship has been able to retain its original shape. Compared to the Yellowstone, which could be recycled in the past, this shipwreck has no value whatsoever. Even the several boxes placed inside the ship's cabins are all cracked, and the items inside have been destroyed.

Shi Ming only glanced at it a few more times before he confirmed it.

It is definitely not a drifting ship.

It was, in fact, an ordinary creation from the land-based era.

Perhaps this ship sank more than thirty years ago; it may have fallen into the deep sea before the age of wandering began?

The electric eel, mimicking the sun, swam around inside the ship's cabin. Shi Ming activated his mental detection, searching for the strange object, the Twin Mirror. This ship was no smaller than the Shadow of the Moon, and with numerous signs of collapse and burial, finding even a small mirror was no easy task.

After searching for three minutes, all they found was a pile of rubble.

time is life.

"Eye of the Mortal World, gather intelligence!" Finding treasures is best left to the Eye of the Mortal World.

[Beep~ Beep~]

[Intelligence being compiled...]

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

[An "ordinary" large ship.]

[Strange, this ship contains no navigational crystals or meteorite propulsion devices; it seems to be a creation from the terrestrial era? Yet, the Eye of the Mortal Realm has discovered three unusual features on it!]

[1. The 43rd ranked artifact, the Twin Mirrors, fell 43 meters to the left and is now mostly obscured by accumulated silt beneath a pile of debris. This mirror has been buried here for 30 years; it's time for it to resurface.]

2. There wasn't a single trace of human life on this ship?

[3. Two high-tech robots are also dormant in the main control room. How technologically advanced are they? They're about three or four stories high.]

Shi Ming blinked, and the words disappeared.

Indeed, everyone has their own expertise. The Eye of the Mortal Realm is much more useful. I searched here for a long time using mental detection, but it was not as effective as activating the skill, which brought the information naturally! Not only did I find the exact location of the Twin Mirrors, but I also found three noteworthy anomalies.

As Shi Ming maneuvered the Sun Shooting device, he swam towards the left front while pondering the value of the remaining two pieces of intelligence.

There are no traces of human activity?

What do you mean?
Did all the humans on board die, or were all traces of humanity washed away? Isn't it normal for a ship that sank at least thirty years ago to have no trace of human activity?
Or is it an understanding from another perspective?
Having reached the location indicated by the Eye of the Mortal World, Shi Ming's spiritual power immediately noticed a corner of the Twin Mirror amidst the layers of decaying debris. The scene before him was exactly the same as the scene presented to him by the Lamp of Wishes!
it is good!
Once you obtain the Twin Mirrors, this mission is considered complete.

We'll talk about other things later.

With a flick of its tail, the electric eel swam to the top of the Twin Mirrors. Shi Ming reached out, grabbed a corner of the Twin Mirrors, and pulled it out from the pile of debris. Before he could even appreciate its unique material and function, this corner, piled high with decaying debris, collapsed completely because the delicate balance was broken.

This is difficult to avoid.

Shooting the Sun skillfully turned around, avoiding all the collapsing debris.

Call ~
The treasures you get your hands on are the real treasures. This mission is complete. Even if there are other incomprehensible secrets on this ship, given its current state of decay, Shi Ming has no interest in inspecting it. As for those two robots with technological so advanced they're like "three or four stories high"... the location of the control room is easy to find. He can just gather them up, put them in the warehouse, and take them back to study them at his leisure!
hum-

As the dust settled from the collapse, a high-frequency vibration emanated from beneath the decaying ship.

This fluctuation is a type of mental interference, which is unlikely to affect Shi Ming, whose mental strength is extremely high. However, the fluctuation is of a probing nature. The moment it swept across the Sun-Shooting Peak, four red eyes lit up in the main control room.

It can even see through the mimicry of a general-class drifting ship!
Before Shi Ming could even be shocked, he heard a highly mechanical electronic voice in the deep sea.

[Skynet Guardian has detected an invasion of an unknown species and is determining its race...]

[Not a sea creature.]

[Not belonging to: humans.]

[Not classified as: mechanical creation.]

[Determined to be a dangerous species.]

[Startup program: Clear.]
