Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 78 Revisiting the Yellowstone!
Shi Ming has a clear understanding of his current strength.

"We can't be too ambitious. Back then, even an A-class sea monster could take down the Yellowstone, which was known as the strongest golden ship. Let alone this kind of Sanctuary sea monster that is even stronger than S-class! According to this intelligence, the Great Black Dragon not only has intelligence, but also possesses the ability to regenerate heads and controls the power of regeneration. Only by severing all nine of its heads at the same time can it be truly killed!"

Difficulty: 10 stars.

The sea creatures are physically powerful and have the advantage of being on the ocean's home turf; they can hold their own against at least three opponents of the same level.

If you can't beat them, you can escape, and you run extremely fast.

Just like the Mist Jellyfish that stole half of Shi Ming's D-grade sea beast, Shi Ming still hasn't found it and is completely helpless about it.

Kill a Templar-level being?
Even more so, it's as difficult as climbing to heaven!
Even if the Lighthouse were to take action, it would likely be utterly defeated by this Saint-level sea monster.

Not to mention the current state of the underworld, they don't even have a single S-class Awakened. They're practically beating people up!
No one understands the frustration of having a gold mine but being unable to tap into it better than the underworld.

"No need to think that far ahead. Let's deal with the immediate issues first. According to the plan, the newly acquired energy extraction equipment needs to be upgraded today, and we also need to explore the Yellowstone again. This time, we need to thoroughly plunder the resources inside."

"Before we explore, we need to check if there are any Class A sea monsters lurking in the deep sea of ​​this area."

Shi Ming took out the "Endless Sea Map" that the underworld coveted.

A drop of blood taken from the demon sword was dripped on it.

The blood of an A-level Awakened has a similar effect on the Endless Sea Map as injecting A-level Awakening power. Shi Ming is not going to challenge A-level sea beasts now; he just wants to see the layout of the relevant sea beasts around him so that he can be well-informed, especially when exploring the deep sea.

Wow.

As always, the Endless Seas map has been transformed from an ancient map into a blue ocean map.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that on the azure blue main body, within a circle with a radius of about 20 centimeters centered on Shi Ming's location, there are about seventeen or eighteen black spots.

These are all Class A sea monsters that have been detected.

Before such wondrous objects as endless nautical charts, nothing can hide.

These spots are scattered everywhere, but most of them are very light in color, which means that these Class A sea creatures are in the deep sea.

The nearest black spot to Shi Ming's location was three hundred nautical miles away.

"It seems there really aren't any Class A sea monsters around here."

"That's true. Although A-level sea beasts are not as rare as S-level ones, they are still elusive and hard to find, unlike roadside weeds that can be found everywhere."

"In that case, we can explore the Yellowstone again with peace of mind. We must thoroughly investigate the areas we didn't explore last time, and take everything we can. Such opportunities are truly rare."

Before exploring the Yellowstone, he went to the second basement level of the ship and used his Creative Brain to upgrade the new energy extraction equipment he had obtained from the Water Rocket by two levels.

Time is money, time is a precious gemstone.

Upgrading this equipment requires Dome Crystals, but fortunately Shi Ming found a few from the Yellowstone ship last time and used them all up at once.

Including Tianwang Zhixin, there is no inventory left.

But looking at the efficiency of the equipment after upgrading to level 5, Shi Ming felt that it was all worth it!
【A192 Energy Production Equipment】

【Level: 5】

[This energy production equipment, developed by Lighthouse Technology, can only extract high-grade sea crystals. It is compact and durable, with a daily production capacity of up to 50 sea crystals. The efficiency will be increased accordingly depending on the concentration of sea crystals in the sea.]

[Upgrade Requirements: 100 High-Grade Sea Crystals, 3 Dome Crystals, 1 Skynet Smart Chip, 20 Iron Ore] Daily production efficiency has been increased to 50 pieces!
In areas with a sea crystal concentration of 400%, 200 high-grade sea crystals can be produced per day!

This efficiency is absolutely amazing!

Before leaving the Lost Sea, we must make one last desperate attempt to retrieve it!
……

With everything prepared, Shi Ming, piloting the golden canoe "Sun Shooting," once again activated its diving function, leaving the Dayun alone and slowly plunging beneath the mist-shrouded sea, gradually deepening his presence.

The ocean world is breathtaking. The shallow waters are dreamlike and enchanting. Looking up, you can see the sky above, and looking down, you can glimpse the ocean's depths.

The only downside is that the mist jellyfish, which are active in the shallow waters, have become sparse.

He didn't see the dreamlike scene of a blue galaxy this time.

"It seems that the leader jellyfish really does possess a certain level of intelligence, as it can actually rally the group to avoid potential threats."

Shi Ming couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

That jellyfish stole half of his prize, the swordfish, and he hasn't been able to get his money back yet!
The Sun Shooting Ship gradually ventured deeper, moving from the shallow waters into the twilight zone.

The light in the twilight zone was rather dim, but Shi Ming's night vision was excellent and it did not affect his ability to pilot the drifting boat.

During the last exploration, Shi Ming was extremely cautious, not even turning on the canoe's lighting system. This time, he was no longer discreet, turning on all the lights on the boat. The entire boat was like the brightest star in the night sky, exceptionally conspicuous in the deep sea.

Entrapment by law enforcement.

Any creatures and sea beasts that dared to attack were all killed by Shi Ming's blade.
Grade D was converted into points.

Killing two enemies in a row increased Shi Ming's stamina and endurance by 2 points.

Ordinary sea beasts, not even qualifying as D-rank, weren't even worthy of being considered food reserves. They were all cut in half by Shi Ming and thrown into the deep sea, becoming food for other harmless creatures.

The carcasses of these sea creatures are not of much value, but the space on the ship is very precious and needs to be used to carry high-value items.

Crossing the shallow waters and the twilight zone, Shi Ming once again saw the steel forest below and the giant ship that had sunk in the trench—the Yellowstone.

The swarm of squid that had ambushed Shi Ming before had disappeared without a trace. Unlike last time, they did not welcome Shi Ming and allowed him to enter the Yellowstone's control room without any trouble.

The core drive of the sunken ship, the "Heart of the Navigation," had been taken by Shi Ming, rendering it largely inoperable. Operations such as pumping water could no longer be performed, so Shi Ming could only navigate the interior of the giant ship in a canoe.

Fortunately, the Canoe Shooting Sun was small and extremely maneuverable, making it easy to navigate the vast Yellowstone.

Treasure hunting is something you get used to after the first time. This time, Shi Ming was very familiar with the route and went straight to the warehouse of the Yellowstone. He moved all the ores and sea crystals that he hadn't taken with him last time into the system space that had been cleaned up in advance.

Iron ore, in particular, was a rare commodity during the era of wandering.

Moreover, the Brain of Creation needs it for many upgrades!

It may not be of great value, but it is very important!

After cleaning out the warehouse and familiar areas, Shi Ming steered his canoe to a lower level of the Yellowstone.

This was an area he hadn't had time to explore last time.
