Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 279 "Ah Jian, I've come to keep my promise!"

The nameless cocoon struggles desperately against the entanglement of the black threads, losing its battle line time and time again in the tug-of-war-like struggle.

It felt drowsy.

In at most seven days, it will enter a dormant state under suppression, unable to awaken on its own.

If the suppression of the sealed prison continues at its current high intensity, it will take anywhere from three to five months to one or two years. In its slumber, it will degenerate into a low-consumption undead insect, completely restarting its insect life and losing its current insect nature.

It is immortal; this is an eternal law.

But will it still be the same after the next restart?
Suddenly, its overflowing spiritual power heard a familiar voice.

"Ah Jian?"

That was Shi Ming's call.

It jolted.

Like a gentle rain.

……

Shi Ming piloted the Sun Shooting alone and quietly returned to the vicinity of Black Gold.

He tried to communicate with the Nameless Cocoon using his mental power multiple times, but received no response. With no other option, he tried his best to rely on the Invisible Mode and Mimicry Mode to move towards the King-class drifting ship Black Gold. Only when he reached a position of about 10 nautical miles could his mental power barely resonate with the Nameless Cocoon.

Approaching within 10 nautical miles of a King-class drifting ship is already a very dangerous and easily exposed distance.

The Sunshot is currently a Tier 3 admiral ship. Its stealth and mimicry make it difficult to fool the detection system of the King-class drifting ship. The Black Gold is not a ship like the Black Society that can be fooled. It can even detect the swimming details of microorganisms in the seawater and easily see through the Sunshot's mimicry and stealth modes.

Although Shi Ming still has a passion for navigation and can upgrade Sunshot to level four, the improvement from level three to level four is not significant. Even if he upgrades, he will still find it difficult to avoid detection by the King Ship. It would be better to save the resources and use them to upgrade the Great Transport from level four to level five, giving it the possibility of quickly becoming a King.

A king-class drifting ship was a breakthrough for Shi Ming.

"Ah Jian?"

Finally, Shi Ming connected to the channel of the Nameless Cocoon.

From the side, the sea monster looked extremely weak and listless.

“Ah Jian, I have found the wondrous Twin Mirror.”

Shi Ming didn't lay any groundwork and went straight to the point.

The nameless cocoon jolted awake, its previously weak mental energy immediately stiffening.

Sit up in shock from dying!
Did this human really do it?
So fast?
How did he do it?
Before the nameless cocoon could think any further, it was overwhelmed by the sudden surprise and almost fainted. It's true that there's always a way out for insects. This human is actually quite useful, and he came looking for it the moment he got the Twin Mirror!

Loyalty is beyond words!

Once I'm free, I'll grant him the body of an insectoid!

【very good.】

Shi Ming paused for a moment, as if he had encountered some problem.

"But how can I evade the detection of the King-class drifting ship and deliver this wondrous object to you?"

The nameless cocoon pondered for a few seconds.

The Twin Mirror is a treasure that cannot be extracted in small quantities from its blood and saliva and reconstituted into spiritual power for remote transmission. Moreover, humans do not possess the ability to deconstruct and reconstruct their own spirits.

It seems I have to give it my all again.

The last one.

[I can use all my mental strength to disrupt the ship's detection equipment. You take this opportunity to infiltrate the Great Rift Valley. We only have fifteen minutes. Can you do it?]

During its heyday, the Nameless Cocoon did many similar things, though at that time it was just for revenge.

fifteen minutes?

At the speed of shooting down the sun, it is entirely possible.

But why should we allow enough time?

"Barely."

【Very good. Be prepared, my strength is dwindling.】 "Okay!"

After three minutes of silence, the nameless cocoon suddenly emitted a sharp cry from within. A vast amount of spiritual power converged at a single point, ignoring the black threads that blocked it. Different frequencies intertwined and mixed together, forming a strong magnetic field, much like a solar flare. This caused significant disruption to the navigation system of the Sun-Shooting Creature, where Shi Ming was located.

【speed.】

Fortunately, Shi Ming had the spiritual and ideological anchor of the nameless cocoon, which prevented him from losing his way.

He immediately activated his diving mode, plunging into the waters near Black Gold and heading at a normal speed towards the East African Rift Valley, 2000 meters below. Once he finally saw the vast, seemingly endless rift valley, he used the guidance of the Nameless Cocoon to pinpoint its exact location at the bottom of the valley.

The East African Rift Valley, often referred to as a scar on the Earth, is now submerged by the sea. The bottomless valley has become a vast abyss stretching for thousands of miles. The sun, mimicking the flow of water, is seen within the rift valley, searching for traces of an unnamed cocoon.

Finally, he saw a giant cocoon at the bottom of the dark valley.

The cocoon was nearly 20 meters long, with a large number of black threads wrapped around it. At the same time, there were also strange chains binding it to a high platform made of pure crystal. In the center of the platform was a strange object, a sub-body of the sealed prison, and on the sea above was the king-class drifting ship Black Gold.

This cocoon is the "Nameless Cocoon".

The reminder from the Eye of the Mortal World arrived at the perfect time, the moment the Nameless Cocoon was seen.

[A game of strategy requires understanding each other's resources! And the eyes of the world can see the opponent's trump card—]

This is an unlucky bug.

It should have broken free of its cocoon 23 years ago, but due to the suppression of the sealed prison, it only barely awoke two years ago. After awakening, unable to break free of the seal, it managed, through two years of effort and adaptation, to barely contend with the worn-out sealed prison. But infuriatingly, the sealed prison recently completely repaired itself, shattering this balance!

Its consciousness failed repeatedly during the tug-of-war, yet it could still maintain its balance for 6 days and 7 hours.

[It will fall into a deep sleep after 6 days and 7 hours.]

[After falling into a deep sleep for 89-107 days, it will enter a low-consumption state, freeze the Law of Immortality, and degenerate into an undead worm. Only when the sealed prison wears down again and the balance tilts once more can it restart its worm life and begin a new life.]

Its remaining spiritual energy, depleted by its desperate act, is insufficient to unleash even one "Law of Immortality." However, you also cannot break through the cocoon of the "Undying Worm."

You already know the bottom line.

And now, what awaits it?

Shi Ming blinked, and the writing disappeared.

Very good. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

"Ah Jian, I've come to keep my promise."

He said.

……

……

……

black gold.

This King-class drifting ship has experienced a rare energy failure.

This situation has occurred more than a dozen times in the past two years, and it was always repaired within minutes, so people didn't find it strange. But this time, many devices on the Black Gold were affected by a strong magnetic field, and snowflakes and magnetic spots appeared on many screens.

"Commander! That insect is resisting again!"

"It's just putting up a last-ditch resistance and bluffing. Suppress it with maximum efficiency! Its life force has been weakening lately. The more it struggles, the closer we are to victory!"

The more the enemy opposes us, the more correct we are!

All the die-hards are paper tigers!

The second commander adjusted his glasses.

Thanks to the help of Da Yu and Shi Ming, the sealing of the Nameless Cocoon has made a breakthrough. Before long, Hei Jin will be able to solve this problem, and then she will be able to have a long vacation to travel around the endless ocean.

Go to Europe, go to China, go to the ruins of Mount Pukyong, go to the icy sea at zero degrees Celsius...

oops.

I'm really looking forward to it.
