Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 320 The Changes of the Fortune-Fixing Toad! A Second Visit to Mount Everest!

Old Zhou returned to Yu the Great.

During his meeting with Shi Ming, he hinted at many details as much as possible. Although it is unknown how much Shi Ming can understand, the first Saint-level Awakener is undoubtedly an ally of Da Yu.

Moreover, he is by no means a dark person.

It is a blessing for the endless ocean that power is in the hands of such people.

He sat down at Jiuzhoutai.

Next, the task is to have the Xirang Research Institute accelerate its research progress. Whether it's breaking free from the control of the "Net," finding a way to curb the "Unending Water," or researching the man-made wonder "Xirang," as long as progress is made on any one of these topics, Elder Zhou believes that with the help of a Saint-level Awakened, the future he hopes for will be realized much faster!

He stroked the lucky toad.

He channeled his spiritual energy into the golden toad and, as usual, observed the remaining two golden energies and four purple energies.

Ok?
In an instant, he noticed the new change!
The golden aura that symbolized the collapsing pillar of heaven extinguished its original brilliant light, and even the trace of red that had been growing deep within it disappeared completely!
Only a tall, withered tree trunk, devoid of any light, remains, and it is about to disappear completely from inside the golden toad.

Luck, gone?

……

After killing the Great Black Dragon, during the three days he absorbed the essence of the Holy Temple deep in the sea, Shi Ming's communicator kept receiving different messages. Unfortunately, at that time, he was immersed in the improvement and did not pay attention to those attempts to curry favor.

By the time they left the seabed, too much information had accumulated.

His crew was even busier. Even the cook in charge of food had many powerful figures personally adding him to their communicators every day, offering conditions that ordinary people would find hard to refuse, all in an attempt to use him to climb the social ladder and get on Shi Ming's good side.

But they were all rejected.

"No, I only have one cook,"

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

The crew members understood perfectly.

Never make decisions on matters involving the captain without authorization.

The official newspapers and tabloids of the various king-class drifting ships have recently seen the topic's popularity soar to its limit, with one formal or informal "news" article after another, dazzling the eyes.

The Dragon-Slaying Hero of the Sea of ​​Soaring Dragons! He single-handedly saved a king-class drifting ship! Yu the Great: This is a true story!

The Sins and Retribution of the Lighthouse: What Unspeakable Secrets Lie Behind the Occupation of the Pukyongsan Sea Area?

Interview with the only surviving princess of the Woguo shipwreck: After being kicked off the Renhuang, did she miraculously escape disaster? Her child was born safely, and she will devote herself to family life, living a peaceful life.

"Ekaterina, leader of the evil organization Snow Country, has been captured by the Lighthouse while on the run in the Columbia Sea!"

Most news from official sources has undergone multiple rounds of review.

Information that is inconvenient for ordinary awakened individuals to know has been censored to some extent, and the news in tabloids is even more three parts truth and seven parts falsehood, using exaggerated headlines to embellish the speculative stories, which makes it even more attractive to read.

This time, Shi Ming didn't have time to pay attention to these trivial matters.

After capturing the remaining corpse of the Great Black Dragon, Shi Ming stuffed it into the captain's space in the captain's cabin to keep the Jianmu seedlings company. Only this huge space could hold so much Holy Temple-level flesh and blood.

All parties are eager to buy it, but given the precedent of the Lighthouse incident, Shi Ming stated that he will not sell it for the time being.

Who knows what other amazing things these scientists with their wild ideas might come up with?

Without wasting any time, he declined all invitations and social engagements and returned to the summit of Mount Everest.

He must find out as soon as possible what exactly this terrifying thing inside the mountain is!
With his status as a Saint-level being, Shi Ming didn't believe it. Now, when he tried to probe, all he found was a bunch of cubes!
This is the only landmass on the endless ocean, and everything is peaceful now. Yu the Great is also exploring the clues he obtained last time in an orderly manner, but unfortunately, it seems that no more discoveries have been made.

"Eyes of the Mortal World, gather intelligence!"

[Beep~ Beep~]

[Intelligence being compiled...]

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

[The remains of the Jianmu tree.]

The ancient Jianmu tree, stripped of its life-giving essence, now decays deep within the mountains… its immense energy has been completely devoured, leaving only a collapsed pillar thousands of meters high. [...]

? ? ? ? ?

No? That's it?
What Ah Jian saw last time was the body of the fallen Creation Pillar being corroded, nourishing a new terror.

What about the horror?

Ah Jian couldn't possibly be wrong. And Shi Ming's Eye of the Mortal World was interfered with and censored before. The mere Jianmu remnants couldn't possibly have such a great influence, making it impossible for the derivative skill "Eye of the Mortal World" of the Eye of God to see through it!

Something unexpected happened!
Shi Ming became serious.

"Ah Jian!"

"Let's penetrate the interior of Mount Everest with our spiritual power and see if the terror from before still remains."

The twelve-winged black insect shook its wings.

"Yes, Master,"

Although it was afraid, it still obeyed Shi Ming's command. Its even stronger spiritual power permeated the mountain, becoming illusory threads that penetrated deep into the layers of rock, through the bedrock and soil, and cautiously explored the interior of the mountain.

Because the previous experience was still fresh in her mind, A-Jian was more cautious this time.

Shi Ming sensed A Jian's condition and was ready to lend a helping hand at any time.

After a while.

"Owner."

"Ok?"

“I have discovered the remains of the Pillar of Creation, but the terrifying creature that once nourished it is no longer there.”

Missing?
It's only been less than half a month since I left, and I've already disappeared?

Shi Ming frowned.

He thought for a moment, then quickly took out the Endless Sea Map from the warehouse.

The power of the Fallen Sanctuary permeated the sea chart, turning it into a vast blue expanse. The exploration range of the endless sea map, after its boundary was broken, was greatly expanded, and it was possible to find the hiding places of Sanctuary-level sea beasts.

The hiding place of the Saint-level sea beast was no secret to Shi Ming.

"One, two,"

"Three, four..."

"Only four left?"

"The Saint-level sea monster located in the far north ice eye has also disappeared?"

Shi Ming's pupils dilated uncontrollably! He clearly remembered that when he first used the Endless Sea Map to explore the locations of the Saint-level sea beasts on the Endless Ocean, all six Saint-level sea beasts were on the map, namely—

Mount Fuji;
A boiling sea;

Challenger Deep;
Arctic Ice Eye;

Amazon Lung
The Great Salt Lake!
After killing the Great Black Dragon, he didn't even waste any time before coming to the place where the Pillar of Creation fell, in order to nip the "terror" that was out of control in the bud. But it seems that he was still a step too late.
That thing... got away?

At the same time, the Sanctuary-class sea monsters of the Far North Ice Eye also disappeared.

"Ah Jian, can you detect any traces it left behind?"

If there are any traces, they can be separated using mental reconstruction, and then the Eye of the Mortal World can be used to specifically investigate and obtain some detailed information about it, so as to decide on the next action.

"No, it disappeared completely."

"What about the original essence of the Holy Temple of the Pillar of Creation?"

"Gone."
