Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 84: The 66th-Ranked S-Class Skill (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
After nearly a day's voyage, the Grand Canal finally reached the edge of the Europa Sea on the morning of the second day.

This region was once one of the most prosperous areas in the Old World, home to numerous developed countries. However, with the advent of the Age of Displacement, due to its geographical location, the loose continental plates subsided, making it one of the first countries to suffer.

Numerous nations united to form the alliance "Twelve Stars," and with the combined strength of all nations, built a royal-class drifting ship, which they named after "Twelve Stars."

The twelve stars are accompanied by four admiral-class drifting ships and eleven gold-class drifting ships, which even exceed the number of lighthouses.

However, quantity does not equate to strength; it is merely a loose alliance, far inferior to a beacon in terms of cohesion and power.

……

"Ah! This sea area is quite different from the Lost Sea; the temperature is much colder."

Shi Ming placed the Dayun ship on a vast expanse of sea.

During his time sailing on the ocean, he only encountered two ships that appeared to be silver or bronze vessels. Before he could even greet them, the ships kept a safe distance from him, showing no intention of communicating and being very cautious.

Shi Ming did not force any contact with them.

He was still some distance from the B-level sea monster, but he needed to make some preparations in advance.

Crew members need to rest after long hours of driving to avoid fatigue.

While adjusting his state, he used the Eye of Intelligence.

"Intelligence Eye, gather intelligence!"

[Beep~ Beep~]

[Intelligence being compiled...]

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

[Level A Intelligence: Europa Seas - Excerpt of Local Products]

Shi Ming raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued.

Good luck, I rolled another A-level intelligence.

A selection of specialties from the European seas?
It sounds a lot like that book called "A Complete Guide to the Wonders of the Endless Oceans"!

He blinked and continued reading the intelligence report.

There are four in total, arranged in reverse order.

[28. Flower of Salt from Guéland: A "flower" that blooms in the salty depths of the sea. It has an extremely salty taste, and eating one piece can cleanse one of negative states.]

24. Sea amber: An item said to bring good luck.

[17. Tears of the Earth and Sea: Purple diamonds shaped like tears are actually glands of the sea monster, the Bone Snail. Applying them to the face can temporarily alter one's appearance.]

【…】

These are all very good treasures.

Most importantly, the intelligence not only listed these treasures, but also described their appearance and general effects, so that Shi Ming could be aware of them and collect them if he encountered them, so as not to miss out on the treasures because he did not recognize them.

Just like the items he retrieved from the Yellowstone's safe, because they couldn't be upgraded and the Eye of Creation couldn't reveal what they were, they're still stored in Shi Ming's warehouse, and he doesn't know how to use them.

He continued reviewing the intelligence.

[3. An S-class sea monster lurking in the ruins of Olympus: the Deep Sea Titan.]

[Bathed in its blood, one can obtain the S-rank skill "Titanic Descent," ranked 66th.]

Using "Titan Descent" will randomly select one of 12 Titan skills and unleash it!

Shi Ming's eyes lit up.

That skill is amazing!
Deep-sea Titans...

The Titans, also known as Titans, were the rulers of the earth in mythology.

In Greek mythology, there are 12 Titans, each with their own role.

Myths are elusive and hard to find, while legends originate from reality. And this skill, ranked 66th, "Titan Descent," can actually borrow the power of 12 Titans temporarily?

It's called one skill, but it's actually 12 skills!
The only drawback is its high degree of randomness. Furthermore, Shi Ming doesn't know what the twelve Titan skills are; there might be self-harming or self-destructive ones.

Moreover, as everyone knows, the Twelve Titans are quite adept at various tactics, and might even be capable of self-mutilation...

Even so, I'm still envious!
This guy sounds intimidating just from his name; he's not the sleeping Xuanwu.

Moreover, the "death trap" strategy is still cooling down.

No matter how envious you are, you must temporarily avoid the limelight.
Let's fight some B-rank and A-rank enemies first, and level up our points first. ...

After a short rest, Shi Mingzhi, full of ambition, compared the location coordinates on the endless sea map, stabilized the Dayun, and then personally cut off a large section of the "Eight-Armed Hunter's" leg flesh, hung it on a steel cable, and threw it into the deep sea.

Powerful sea monsters mostly lurk in the deep sea, only coming to the surface when they want to hunt humans.

Therefore, bait is needed to lure them up.

If an ordinary wild boat or a bronze or silver-class drifting ship were to encounter a B-class sea monster, and was slow enough, it would most likely perish.

However, the Dayun has been upgraded to gold, and even Shi Ming would find it difficult to cut it in two. Not to mention these B-level sea monsters, it can be easily defended against, and there is no need to worry about it being forcibly destroyed by the sea monsters.

And the crew members don't need to show their faces in public.

They only need to be responsible for the subsequent salvage work.

After casting the bait, Shi Ming waited patiently, like a fisherman.

One hour, two hours.

Finally, he noticed that the surrounding seawater was shimmering with a strange red light.

The red light gradually deepened, staining the seawater blood-red, and the waves turned crimson as far as the eye could see.

coming?

What kind of sea creature is this?
Shi Ming gripped the King Slayer tightly with his right hand and held the steel cable binding the Eight-Armed Hunter tightly with his left.

He could sense a force probing the severed limb, like a cunning fish touching bait.

Tighten
Just a mention.

Hehe, I won't give you any!
The severed wrist of the Eight-Armed Hunter was quickly retracted.

The sea creatures beneath the ocean, bewildered, then flew into a rage.

The surrounding tides became turbulent.

"Judging from the way the skill is presented, it looks a bit like the Tidecaller Whale, but its strength is far inferior to the Tidecaller Whale skill released by Edward. The red seawater is not poisonous, but there seems to be a parasite in it... What kind of sea monster is this?"

"Still not coming up?"

The voice just fell,

Large amounts of red kelp surged up from the deep sea, clump together on the surface, and intertwined like vines, filling the surrounding ocean with the smells of rust and blood!
Submachine gun and close-in weapon system shells had already been unleashed.

The seaweed vines spread out and then coalesced again, causing little damage. Instead, they coalesced into a giant sphere of vines three meters in diameter.

However, compared to the Dayun-class, this giant ball is still quite small.

"Start the ramming!"

The crew in the control room received the order, and the already fully charged Dayun, like a 10,000-ton heavy truck, with immense force, crashed into the enraged giant vine ball.

good chance!
Shi Ming took a calm breath, then pushed off with both feet, causing the entire deck to tremble slightly. The powerful force traveled from his legs to his waist and hips, supporting his spine vertebra by vertebra. The force was then transmitted to his entire right arm and perfectly transferred to the King Slayer sword in his hand.

Break the law with force!

With a tearing sound, a visible crack plummeted from the sky, striking the giant vine sphere that had exposed its core.

Bang!
As the red tide surged, Shi Ming, suspended in mid-air, perfectly avoided it.

The core of the vine cracked slightly, and clumps of red seaweed burst forth from it.

These are all parasites.

But it doesn't matter.

Xuanwu's Shield!

Three seconds is enough!

Shi Ming withstood the blood tide head-on, and no parasite could gain any advantage over him. Zhan Wang slashed at the source of the crimson tide, and the black eyeballs exploded, spewing out an extremely red liquid. When it came into contact with Shi Ming's right arm, it was devoured and absorbed without leaving a drop!
The vines spread out like rootless plants.

There wasn't a single carcass left of the sea monster.

Wow.

Shi Ming leaped out of the sea and stood up on the deck again.

Two seconds later, the kill was a success.

　Chapter Two is here! Tomorrow, Chapter Three is coming, and I'll work hard on Chapter Four! I must squeeze every last drop out today!
