Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 341 The second-ranked S-class skill! Destiny Cone!

Half a day later.

The dark black King-class drifting ship [Da Yun] followed Shi Ming's instructions and arrived at the Boiling Sea.

Shi Ming returned to his car.

The remains of the Abyss Lord, along with some evil tentacles that had been cut off earlier, were all taken back into the Captain's Space. They sat at the same table as the Great Black Dragon, becoming future upgrade materials and "fertilizer" for the three seedlings. The bodies of the two Holy Temple-level sea beasts occupied a large portion of the "Captain's Space," making the originally large Captain's Space seem somewhat cramped.

Fortunately, there are amazing plants that can make the most of everything.

In terms of utilizing the flesh and blood of sea monsters, Shi Ming can be said to waste not a single bit.

The immortal fruit and the Bodhi tree that were planted have already sprouted seedlings and are growing vigorously.

The Jianmu trees are also growing vigorously.

In particular, the fruit growing on the Jianmu tree has become even more plump after absorbing the flesh and blood of the Holy Temple-level sea beast. Shi Ming plans to raise it for a while before eating it to obtain the so-called "travel" power. Only by obtaining this power can he possibly cross the thick mantle and enter the outer region of the Earth's core that the Three-Eyed Golden Crow has peered into, and obtain the strange object suspected to be "Burning Abyss"!

The "Burning Abyss" is not located on the seabed, but rather on the outer edge of the Earth's core.

It is even deeper than the deepest abyss where the Lord of the Abyss resides.

With Shi Ming's current physical strength, he can easily withstand the water pressure at depths of 10000 meters or even deeper, and move freely underwater without using the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl. However, he is not confident that he can traverse the Earth's crust and mantle to reach the outer periphery of the Earth's core, 2800000 meters underground.

It's not liquid seawater there, but solid rock and asthenosphere. With the current infrastructure level of the major powers, they can't even enter the interior of Mount Everest, let alone go deep into the Earth's core! It's probably only possible to easily enter by using the Jianmu tree to "shuttle".

As for the "Star Core," it is the core of this planet.

It's unlikely that he'll take it out, but Shi Ming is very curious about what strange things will happen if he uses the Infinite Brain to break through and upgrade it.

……

……

……

As the current head of Black Gold, Sivir followed the Grand Event and personally came to the Boiling Sea.

After three days of cooling, the temperature on the outer edge of the Boiling Sea has now stabilized at around 40 to 50 degrees Celsius. Even the former inner sea is no more than 100 degrees Celsius. The spectacular sight of boiling seawater is no longer visible. Ordinary gold-class drifting ships with adequate protection can now navigate freely.

"Inspector Shi, the sea beast of the Boiling Sea?"

"died."

Despite previous suspicions, Sivir was still overjoyed upon hearing Shi Ming's confirmation! The pressure from head to toe instantly vanished, and she felt like she could float to the sky!

In just a few days, two major threats have disappeared from the African Sea. She had scouted the area on her way here and found that this previously desolate place was now devoid of even a single sea monster!

She immediately bowed to Shi Ming with the highest courtesy due to the Black Gold.

This is on behalf of the King-class drifting ship, [Black Gold], to express our deepest gratitude.

Shi Ming also had some questions he wanted to discuss with this scholarly commander. He had many questions, including but not limited to the whereabouts and appearance of the Black Gold Commander, whether the young woman whose limbs were replaced by mechanical ones in the prophecy was the Black Gold Commander, and whether the Black Gold had searched for the whereabouts of other divine revelation tablets.

"I have some questions I'd like to ask."

"Inspector Shi, please ask whatever you wish."

The two entered the inner cabin of the Universiade together.

This was Sivir's third time aboard the Grand Canal, but Shi Ming hadn't been there the previous two times, so she hadn't had a chance to explore the floating ship in depth. Now, following Shi Ming, she was able to see the Grand Canal's interior structure and facilities, and the astonishment in her eyes was even more pronounced. The layout was perfect, the materials unique...
Understated yet luxurious.

It is not just a drifting ship, but a work of art. Even ship designers who were known as craftsmen in the land era would probably find it difficult to create a cabin space that combines practicality and art.

The crew served up a rare, premium tea, a traditional way of hospitality in China.

Whether there's something to do or not, have some tea first.

The two began to chat casually.

We talked about everything from the land-based era more than 30 years ago to the era of wandering.

"I heard from Zhou Lao, the elder of Yu the Great, that the six king-class drifting ships guard the endless ocean, providing humanity with a safe haven on the sea. Each king-class drifting ship has a voyage leader. Yu the Great is Zhou Lao, the Twelve Stars is Abraham, and the Lighthouse is Terlinden. Terlinden has resigned from his position as the Supreme Ruler, but he is still a voyage leader."

"But the one who launched Black Gold seems to be no higher than Black Gold itself?"

Shi Ming was asking about the internal secrets of a king-class drifting ship.

Sylvie had no intention of hiding anything from the inspector.

"Indeed."

"The Grand Commander Beyoncé has been gone from Black Gold for many years."

"Fifteen years ago, when Black Gold was suppressing the Nameless Cocoon, it was attacked by another mysterious sea beast. That sea beast was particularly terrifying. It could turn a sea area into a bizarre world of light cones. In this world, all actions that required judgment were completely probabilistic. Even an S-level Awakener had to throw out a light cone to make a judgment on whether to hit or dodge the sea beast's attack."

"Only if the judgment is successful can the attack hit; if the judgment fails, all attacks will miss."

Shi Mingyi was awe-inspiring.

The second-ranked S-class skill, Destiny Cone!

Ah Jian once told him that.

During combat, the surrounding area is forcibly transformed into a light cone space from which it is difficult to escape. All actions and attacks are determined by rolling a twenty-sided light cone die with a number on it, and the basic logic is very similar to a game called "Baldur's Gate" that Shi Ming once played.

The owner of the Destiny Cone can cheat!

From this perspective, Black Gold is truly unlucky.

Internal and external troubles.

Inside lies the nameless cocoon, ranked third, while outside, they encounter a mysterious creature, ranked second.

"and after?"

"The mysterious sea monster is coming on strong. Even the distress signals sent to other drifting ships require a roll of more than 19 to be successfully sent. With no other option, the commander used the trump card of the King-class drifting ship, activating the navigation core in a special way to send a distress signal to drifting ship 001."

"Oh?"

Shi Ming knew that each King-class drifting ship could request assistance from drifting ship No. 001 once through the SkyNet.

However, the cost is enormous.

Even when faced with the attack of the Great Black Dragon, Terlinden did not take that step, even when he was at his wit's end.

"The distress signal reached Skynet in an instant. Black Gold was briefly under Skynet's control, borrowing power comparable to the mysterious sea beast. After the mysterious sea beast was suppressed, it disappeared, and Black Gold was freed from its predicament. However, the aid was not free. The Nirvana gave Beyoncé two choices that only she knew, and she chose the latter. Three months later, she left with Nirvana, and her whereabouts are now unknown."
