Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 333 The day of the Golden Crow's prophecy has arrived!
"All monitoring equipment has been activated and is in operation."

"We cannot detect any life fluctuations in the Nameless Cocoon. The Great Rift corresponds to the seabed area, where there are no other threatening life forms."

"Probability of death: 99.99%"

"Threat eliminated."

As the report was released, cheers erupted from Black Gold's control room and research lab. The scientists and commanders, who had suppressed their emotions for so long, were finally able to release their pent-up feelings.

A Saint-level expert is indeed invincible!

Without a doubt, Shi Ming gained an unprecedented friendship from a King-class drifting ship. Although it wasn't a necessity for him on the path to becoming a powerful figure, who would refuse a sincere alliance, especially one from one of the top six powers!

The threat at the heart of the boiling sea remains.

But Black Gold still held a grand celebration banquet. The burden of the past thirty years was completely shed, and the scientists who had devoted themselves to research became radiant. After a few glasses of red wine, Sivir's face was flushed, and his usual dignity and rigor seemed to be temporarily set aside.

She brought good news to the million people on this 15-kilometer-long, drifting ship.

"I hereby declare today to be Black Gold's [New Voyage Day]!"

"Everyone on board, except those in special positions, is entitled to one day of leave!"

The so-called New Voyage Day commemorates Black Gold's complete liberation from its constraints and its re-embarking on the endless ocean. This is a day worth remembering and will be a statutory holiday for Black Gold, celebrated together every year at this time.

In this era of constant movement, holidays are a luxury.

This further highlights how hard-won it is.

"Inspector Shi, Black Gold owes you a huge favor this time."

"I promise that the friendship between Black Gold will be as enduring as the hardest diamond in the African Sea."

Sivir presented Shi Ming with a huge black diamond.

As Shi Ming watched the people on the boat celebrate, his heart grew calmer.

After advancing to the Holy Temple level, many things he used to have to worry about and hide no longer exist. Even without the Abyss Lord incident as a catalyst, and even without the need to seal the prison, he will resolve the remaining issues of the Nameless Cocoon as soon as possible.

Now, with the tide turning, everything is in place.

It's time to deal with the two most powerful sea monsters in this area.

Within his captain's space, the Bodhi Fruit and the Immortal Fruit, nourished by the flesh and blood of the Mahakala Dragon and illuminated by the full moon pearl, quickly took root and sprouted. The original Jianmu sapling's branches also became much thicker, and a black vein grew on it. This was the destructive aura from the Mahakala Dragon, which was fused into the Jianmu's body and became a kind of power within it.

The saplings of the Bodhi Tree and the Immortal Tree are still very small and do not require much nutrition, but the Jianmu sapling has already opened up and is absorbing the power from the flesh and blood of the Great Black Dragon every day like a whale swallowing its prey.

A faint dragon pattern was also added to the Jianmu fruit.

Its height has also increased more than three times, with a trunk over a meter tall, giving it the feel of a small giant. It looks small, but it stands tall and upright.

Shi Ming looked at the dragon's flesh and blood that it had digested.

"I wonder what changes will occur to these magical trees when they are nourished with various types of Saint-level flesh and blood?"

……

"Inspector Shi, this is the sealed prison that has been recovered. Black Gold has repaired the damage it suffered in the battle, and it is now fully functional."

[The 27th ranked oddity]

[Sealed Prison]

【…】

[When the offspring comes into contact with an item or creature that needs to be sealed, it can use the mother body to seal, unseal, strengthen the seal, suppress, or smelt it... Manipulating the mother body requires a large amount of energy stones and fuel, and once the mother body is activated, it cannot be moved.]

The sealed prison is a stone platform-like object.

It is divided into two ends: the mother body and the daughter body.

Its surface is engraved with all sorts of strange patterns. As long as the power of the sea crystal stone and the heart of a sea beast are injected, it will manipulate the sealing threads and chains extending from its offspring. No matter how powerful an S-class sea beast is, once it is sealed, it will be powerless to struggle. However, it also has a drawback.

The stronger the sea monster's resistance, the weaker its sealing effect.

If it were used directly against a living Abyss Lord, the probability of sealing it would undoubtedly be 0. However, Shi Ming did not need to worry about this. He only needed to use it to seal the source of pollution after the Abyss Lord's death, so that it would not escape and could be maintained for three to five days.

Along with the sealed prison, over a hundred sea beast hearts stored by Black Gold were handed over to Shi Ming. This meant he didn't need to worry about "fuel" consumption. At the same time, Black Gold announced that the "Sea Beast Heart Bounty" would be revoked after seven days. Any unredeemed points must be redeemed within one month, or they will be forfeited.

Black Gold no longer needs to pay exorbitant prices to acquire the Heart of the Sea Beast!

This can save a lot of budget.

The problem of the skyrocketing price of the Sea Beast Heart that has been plaguing Black Gold is no longer a concern.

Compared to the joy of black gold, under the magnificent golden dome of the Pharaoh, Ptolemy, harboring a sliver of hope, had no other thoughts. On the advice of his other ministers, he paid reparations and treasures, and signed the Treaty of Tutankhamun.

1. The Pharaoh will compensate Shi Ming with 20000 Pure Crystals, payable in a lump sum or in 12 installments. If choosing installments, an additional 30% interest will be charged per installment.

2. The Pharaoh's prized possession, the golden mask of Tutankhamun, was gifted to Stonemark.

3. All the wealth and treasures collected by the Ptolemaic family were transferred to Stone.

4. Shi Ming will no longer pursue the responsibility of Pharaoh and other forces for hunting him down.

With this series of actions, 90% of the resources and wealth accumulated by this general-class drifting ship over the years were instantly lost, leaving only the name and size of the general-class drifting ship, making it the most worthless general-class drifting ship in the African Sea and even the endless ocean.

But he had no other choice.

If they don't back down, the consequences are predictable.

At least the ship and lives have been saved, which is much, much better than the Black Society and the Shadow of the Moon.

The Pharaoh's Awakened Ones and his crew worked through the night to gather the first batch of Pure Crystals, which, under Abu's leadership, were preparing to deliver to Dinglan's Grand Canal near Black Gold.

They were told that the captain had left temporarily.

……

……

……

The sea is boiling, and the heat waves are towering.

This sea area has been anything but calm for the past three months, and today, dark clouds have gathered, as if a powerful disaster is about to strike. Before the torrential rain even reaches the sea, it is evaporated into water vapor by the terrifying heat. Ordinary carbon-based organisms here would be directly roasted to maturity and rapidly turn into ashes.

On this very sea, an ordinary-looking canoe floats on the heatwave.

The person on the boat was shirtless, with the bright red lines on his left arm clearly visible.

The nine-headed dragon pattern that had long since faded on his chest and abdomen reappeared clearly. At the same time, a phantom head grew from his left and right shoulders, while his six arms became fully materialized, each exuding a different aura of destruction.

Although it takes on human form, it is nothing short of a ferocious beast.

Nine-Headed Cathedral!

The sea was filled with towering tsunamis, yet amidst the layers of waves, a phantom landmass was formed.

On land, crimson flower stamens swayed in the wind. A three-headed, six-armed being left his canoe and stepped onto the illusory land. One of his arms pulled out a sharp blade stuck in the soil, and the world began to tilt.

The Fallen Sanctuary!

Two Sanctuary-level skills can be used simultaneously.

Beneath the deep sea, terrifying malice rises.
