Great Voyage: My Summoned Creatures Can Level Up While Idle

The three-masted pirate ship, broken in two, slowly sank into the deep sea.

Beneath the surface, sharks and various sea monsters fought over the floating flesh and blood, turning the entire seawater a murky pink.

The Velvet changed course and sped away from this dangerous sea area.

After the fierce battle, the initial excitement slowly faded, leaving Roya and Sophia with only a deep-seated exhaustion.

There were many open-air rocky islands scattered nearby, so Sophia suggested that they rest for a while. Roya nodded and steered the Velvet to a huge rock that protruded from the sea to take shelter and rest.

After settling in, Sophia took out some medicine and carefully treated Misha's wounds, which were caused by Black Axe Blake before his death. Fortunately, the wounds were not serious.

After that, Sophia started preparing preservatives, keeping herself busy non-stop.

Misha didn't go into the ship's medical room; she simply lay quietly by the door and fell asleep peacefully.

Luo Ya, enjoying the delicious food, invited one person and one bear to dine there.

Misha was the biggest contributor, as her dinner was the most lavish, consisting of more than ten half-meter-long, semi-cooked grilled fish, which she particularly favored for their fresh, tender, and slightly bloody texture.

Luo Ya secretly rejoiced that Ah Dai, being an undead, did not need to eat or rest; otherwise, just taking care of the two summoned creatures would have exhausted him.

Tonight, it's Roya and Ah Dai on watch again.

Misha still has wounds; let her rest for the night.

Bored out of his mind, Luo Ya opened the dungeon panel, glanced at it, and instantly perked up.

Previously, the list only had one dungeon option: "Purify Poison Lizard Island". Now, a new dungeon option has been added.

[Medium-sized instance: Sunken Ship]

Challenge Level: 11-25

[Potential rewards upon completion: Sequence Potions, Rare Items, Mysterious Treasures, Alchemy Items, Enchanted Equipment, Arcane Arts, Combat Techniques, Rare Materials, Ship Parts]

[Maximum number of projected summoned creatures: 2]

"When did this instance appear?" Roya was filled with doubt.

Moreover, the new dungeon has a high entry threshold, starting at the Iron level, and you may even encounter Bronze level monsters in the deeper levels, making it even more difficult than Poison Lizard Island.

Luo Ya looked at Adai on the observation platform and decided to send Adai into the instance to test the waters and find out the details of the instance.

Of course, not today. Ah-Dai and Mi-Sha have already used up their dungeon chances, so they can only wait until tomorrow.

When it got light, the shifts were over, and Roya returned to the captain's cabin to rest, while Sophia and Misha took over watching the ship.

When he woke up from his nap, he checked his pocket watch and it showed that it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.

After eating the lunch that Sophia had prepared in advance, the two set sail again and continued their journey toward the food island.

With a favorable wind and ocean current, the Velvet maintained an average speed of around 7.2 knots.

While steering the ship, Roya multitasks, sending the skeleton warrior Adai into the new dungeon [Sunken Ship], and keeping an eye on Adai's progress in exploring the new dungeon.

In the instance, Ah-Dai appears on a small sampan adrift on the sea. The sky is gray, and a thin layer of sea fog surrounds the area.

Ah-Dai waited quietly for a long time, but no monster appeared in his field of vision. The scene was eerily quiet.

"Thump!"

A violent impact suddenly came from the bottom of the boat, causing the sampan to rock violently and nearly throwing Ah-Dai directly into the sea.

The next moment, pale, withered hands emerged from the dark seawater, gripping the gunwale and shaking the small boat violently.

Ah-Dai swung his bone knife, but the blade pierced straight through the ghostly hands, causing no damage whatsoever.

Losing his balance, Ah-Dai could no longer stand and plunged into the icy seawater.

Only after sinking into the sea did Roya finally see the true face of his enemy.

A dozen or so ghosts dressed in tattered sailor uniforms drifted in the water, clutching rusty scimitars in their hands.

[Ghost Sailor, Level 10, 200% HP]

These ghostly sailors are immune to ordinary physical attacks; only attacks imbued with black iron magic can harm them.

Their tactics are very simple: they swarm and pull on the limbs of their target, trying to drag their prey to the deeper seabed to drown.

Fortunately, Ah-Dai is a spirit and doesn't need to breathe. As long as the fire of his soul inside his head doesn't go out, he won't perish.

Facing a group of apprentice-level ghost sailors, Ah-Dai didn't find it too difficult to deal with them.

The bone knife is covered with a layer of matte black iron magic, capable of shattering a ghost with a single strike.

After quickly eliminating the group of ghost sailors, Ah-Dai landed on the seabed and then steadily moved forward.

Just moments after falling into the water, Roya caught a glimpse of a massive shipwreck lying on the seabed in the distance. The instance was called the Undersea Shipwreck, so that must be the core area.

Ah-Dai can't swim, so he can only walk on the seabed mud. Every step he takes stirs up a lot of mud and sand, making the seawater behind him murky.

"boom!"

The seawater behind them suddenly parted, and a huge, blood-red maw opened wide, lunging fiercely at Ah-Dai.

Ah-Dai quickly turned around and unleashed his combat technique, a slashing strike.

"Snap!"

With a crisp sound, all the giant beast's sharp teeth were severed.

Only then did Luo Ya see the attacker's appearance clearly: a giant undead shark with a broken body and gray-black patches all over its forehead, which looked like a twisted and painful human face from a distance.

[Ghost Shark, Level 16, 600% HP]

These are just ordinary monsters, without even an elite indicator, yet they're already level 16!

Ah Dai is only level 13 right now.

The ghost shark opened its massive jaws once more and launched a surprise attack, its broken teeth regrowing and healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The confined environment of the ocean greatly restricts the mobility of the skeleton warriors, significantly weakening their combat effectiveness.

Ah-Dai unleashed another cleave strike, the blade hitting the Specter's head, but he himself was also violently sent flying by the immense impact.

The Specter's attack methods are monotonous, consisting only of biting and straight-line charging, but it cannot withstand the suppression caused by its level.

The two fought fiercely in the deep sea for more than ten minutes. Finally, Ah Dai seized an opening and pierced the ghost shark's head with his bone knife, shattering its soul fire.

With a flash of white light, Ah-Dai's level increased to 14, and all his injuries were healed at the same time.

However, the intense fighting attracted even more ghost sharks.

One of the mutated individuals has developed deformed limbs resembling those of a human on its body, making it a higher-level species than the ordinary ghost shark.

Surrounded by three ordinary ghost sharks and one mutated ghost shark, Ah Dai only lasted half a minute before his bones were shattered and his soul fire dissipated.

Luo Ya closed the instance panel and sighed in frustration.

Why are all the recently unlocked dungeons having terrible terrain?

Poison Lizard Island is covered with highly toxic swamps. As long as you are in the swamps and poisonous fog, your health will continue to drop, and even undead like Ah-Dai cannot escape it.

This underwater shipwreck instance is even more demanding, with the main battlefield located hundreds of meters deep in the ocean.

Although Misha can dive briefly, she can only sustain it for two or three minutes at most. High-intensity combat would consume oxygen even faster, making her unsuitable for prolonged underwater combat.

In the end, Roya decided to temporarily shelve the [Sunken Ship] dungeon and continue to arrange for Adai and Misha to explore Poison Lizard Island. They would wait until they obtained a summon that could be used for underwater naval battles before challenging it.
