Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 326 The Essence of Golden Fortune?
On top of the snow-capped mountains.

A figure appeared at the peak level.

It was Chen Qingyu, an S-rank Awakened with the skill [Knowledge Hacker], who had met Shi Ming once and discussed "Dou Qi Continent XXV". At this moment, she was wearing a lightweight protective suit with tight protection and holding the borrowed Azure Sea Cangwu sword, climbing to the peak above the snow line.

She received a mission from the Nine Provinces Platform to explore possible anomalies.

Chen Qingyu climbed step by step towards the highest point.

"strangeness!"

"Second Blade Storm, that's it?"

What was once a dangerous forbidden zone for humans now resembles an ordinary snow-capped mountain, posing no further danger.

Moreover, it's not currently a lull in the secondary blade storm.

That thing has completely disappeared!

Although the temperature is still cold, there is no secondary blade storm. Ordinary A-level Awakeners can easily resist the temperature here by relying on their physical strength. With Chen Qingyu's physical strength, he can climb the mountaintop freely even without wearing protective clothing.

She did not let her guard down.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Chen Qingyu stretched out her hands and casually clenched them in the blizzard, picking up a few snowflakes.

Skill [Knowledge Hacking], activated!

The snowflakes in her hand, in her eyes, transformed into a collection of data.

"The product of water vapor encountering cold, naturally formed solid water crystals, are contaminated with slight impurities and the power of life elements, and no longer possess the violent power to tear through the air."

"The melted snow water can even replenish the strength of those who are exhausted."

She continued climbing, step by step, until she reached the large stone monument.

Her pupils suddenly dilated!

The new green shoots stand out vividly against the snow-white backdrop.

Those are all newly grown snow-capped buds!

Many!
They clustered at the base of the stone tablet, radiating a rich vitality. This was a new life form born from the last bit of life force that leaked out after being swallowed by the "activated wormhole" and fused with the low temperature and ice attribute power of the snow-capped mountain peak.

The original source of the Sanctuary of Life is here, its final remnant.

One, two, three... thirteen, fourteen...

She was completely stunned!
So many snow-capped peaks shrouded in green!!!

"Could this be the fortune that Elder Zhou spoke of?"

Normally, any item listed in the "Wonderful Treasures of the Endless Ocean" can be considered a treasure of great fortune! For example, the Stone of Taunt, the Pearl of Calming the Sea, the Map of the Endless Sea, and the Snow-capped Emerald, which can heal all external injuries, including severed limbs!
And right now, how can this string of green amidst the pure white not be considered an extraordinary stroke of luck?
And they are small.

Once they grow up, I can't even imagine how many benefits they will bring!
Chen Qingyu excitedly recorded all of this, and then continued to explore other areas.

……

Yu the Great, Jiuzhou Terrace.

The rock slabs behind Old Zhou, and the collapsed pillar of heaven, have been erased.

He still doesn't understand why the collapsed pillar of heaven, which the Fortune-Fixing Toad defined as having golden fortune, suddenly lost its golden light along with the faint red light inside. This was an unprecedented event.

"Could it have already been obtained by someone else?"

"If it was Shi Ming who obtained it, it wouldn't be a big deal. He has already created too many miracles. But if it was someone else... I don't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse."

Shi Ming is now the honorary "Supreme Inspector" of the King-class drifting ship Dayu.

This is a nominal title.

You can share the benefits without having to assume any obligations.

Originally, Old Zhou had arranged for a higher title, but Shi Ming politely declined. He was not good at such things, and his ambitions lay elsewhere. Combat and improvement were his driving force and the source of his dopamine.

【drop. 】

Old Zhou received a message from Xirang.

He stared incredulously at the report on the communicator: "[Fourteen 'Snow-capped Green' seedlings have been found beneath the large stone monument.]"

The secondary blade storm has completely disappeared, and the area above the snow line is now a pristine paradise, free from any perceived danger.

Researcher Chen Qingyu unearthed what appears to be the remains of a high-level life form lacking energy in shallow permafrost.

A series of unexpected surprises!

Or perhaps, this is the essence of that golden fortune?

The concept of destiny is extremely mysterious!
……

……

……

Yu the Great was overjoyed by the "golden fortune" that had descended from the heavens. Shi Ming, who had left the location of the "red fortune" in the far north of the icy sea, took a detour and entered the Europa Sea.

He planned to drive south all the way.

Head straight to the destination!
During this process, he deliberately followed the markings on the Endless Sea Map and successively killed several sea beasts of different ranks.

Although the divine revelation stele obtained from the Scorpion King Pyramid was traded to Yu the Great, the method for creating the "Core of the Contract" was already engraved in his mind. This method of controlling sea beasts was truly amazing. Initially, it could only control C-level sea beasts, but as the Infinite Brain was upgraded and strengthened, the level of sea beasts it could control became higher and higher.

He plans to stock up on several.

If you encounter a suitable, powerful sea monster whose skills are useless to you, you can tame it and bring it back to keep Ajian company.

Now, unless it's an S-rank skill with a special function, such as [Great Prophecy], ordinary skills like [Nether Serpent's Feather], or even [Black and White Aria] and [Abyss of Devouring], are just redundant for Shi Ming.

It would be better to use the core of the contract to control a group of sea beasts and cultivate your own sea beast army.

He already has several goals.

For example, the elusive nine-tailed fox in Sanjiangyuan is not large, but its fur is very beautiful, making it a perfect pet. Unfortunately, when they last met, Shi Ming was still an S-rank, and his body was filled with murderous aura from too many killings. Before he could even make a move, the nine-tailed fox disappeared into the seawater in an instant.

In the past, resources were scarce, and we were always stretched thin.

Even every opportunity to upgrade the Creative Brain must be planned and used.

Now that there are more resources, the margin for error is much higher.

He brewed a pot of tea.

The tea steamed, but it wasn't hot steam; rather, it was the chilling air from the snow-capped peaks. A vibrant green leaf swirled in the kettle without freezing the water. This tea, rich in the energy of ice and snow and the energy of life, had a unique flavor and could clear the mind, making it perfect for replenishing energy after a battle.

Regular consumption can also slowly increase physical strength.

However, its speed is far inferior to that of using the red markings on its right arm to absorb the blood of sea beasts.

As the Grand Canal sailed through the desolate waters of Northern Europe, Shi Ming suddenly spotted a familiar drifting ship on the 180-degree panoramic wall. It was a whaling ship flying a flag with a salmon pattern, and its mottled hull exuded a sharpness that had been through countless battles.

The Salmon Dream.

With thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face, Chris, who looked like a respectable person, was on the deck, directing the crew to count the day's catch.

I wonder how much of the White Dragon Whale Heart he's consumed.

The Great Fortune, having activated its stealth mode, would not be detected by a Gold-class drifting ship. Instead of reminiscing, it sailed past the Salmon Dream and continued south.

……

Why do I feel a strange wind?

Chris was puzzled, but he didn't notice anything unusual. Both the radar and the vision were normal.

The crew member in charge of his meals served him dinner.

"Captain, today's whale heart has been cut. Paired with fermented caviar from Fontainebleau, the flavor is absolutely unique."

"vomit……"

Chris closed his eyes tightly and swallowed piece after piece of whale heart as if being tortured. For the past few months, his diet consisted entirely of the heart of this white dragon whale! This made him feel nauseous and vomit whenever he saw whale meat!
But no way,

This is the price of power.
