Chapter 162: Never Go to the Sea Again (monthly ticket adds more updates)
What is it that contains murderous intent in the sea?
And that Gonzalez sentence from before...
was it something these people experienced in their dreams, or was it something other than dirty things attached to them?
Wei En looked at the calm sea and thought silently. The sea breeze blew his red hair, and his handsome face showed no expression.
On the deck next to him, there were several fish covered with triangular scales. They were obviously blue marlin, which the panel said was delicious.
Not far away, Ronan lowered his head respectfully, staring straight at the side of the ship, quietly waiting for the captain's order.
Although he was surprised that the second order he received today was to stab the blue marlin beside the boat to death, he still did not dare to say anything more, for fear that if he said too much, he would be criticized by someone who was obviously at the moment. The worried captain was stabbed to death.
"Move those boxes to my bedroom. I want to study the cause of their death."
"Yes!"
Ronan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The red-haired captain was silent and was more oppressive than ever. .
He quickly gestured to the other pirates behind him, and then resumed his previous stance.
"Second mate, can I go to the sea during the day?"
"You, do you want to..."
"I want to go down and have a look," Wei En decided. If possible, he would like to try to search in the sea to see if there is any discovered.
"Yes, yes, but you may encounter danger," Ronan hesitated, "Especially some of the aberrations hidden in deep rocks or mud. Once they are discovered..." "Apart from these?
"
" This should be gone. The sea area we are currently in is still close to the Eastern Continent. Under normal circumstances, there are no high-level deep-sea creatures." Wei En nodded, and then ordered: "Stop the ship, I will go down.
"
"Yes!"
Ronan had no choice but to return to the cockpit, pull the brake lever, control the steamship to slow down, and at the same time let someone lower the anchor to prevent the ship from drifting with the current.
After the steamship stopped, Wayne took out a bottle of underwater breathing potion and poured it into his mouth.
"Tsk."
Compared with the enlightenment potions and healing potions that I drank before, the taste of the underwater breathing potion is obviously not within the acceptable range of normal people.
The salty smell, like rotting sea fish, almost made him vomit.
Not long after, the effect of the potion took effect, and he felt that the pores on his body were opening wider, as if there were countless filters connected to the blood vessels in his body.
Wei En knew that the underwater breathing potion only lasted about thirty minutes, so without wasting much time, he jumped directly from the bow of the ship.
Plop.
[You are targeted by the killing intent of the deep-sea creature-the saber-toothed fish. Reward: Survival point +1. 】
As soon as he entered the sea, dozens of messages poured out on the panel.
Around the steamboat, there were hundreds of fish of various sizes and shapes, many of which noticed him as an intruder and swam directly towards him.
Wei En ignored these small fish that posed no threat to him, activated his spiritual transformation talent, raised his toughness level to 10,000, and then went all the way down.
[You are attacked by a deep sea creature - stickleback fish. Comment: I want to reconsider your title. Well, weak chicken no longer represents your strength. Reward: Survival point +1. 】
Not a weakling?
I hope I'm not a weak duck...
huh?
However, when the dive reached about thirty meters, the visibility was actually so low that it was almost dark.
When he got closer to a hundred meters, not only were the murderous intentions around him much less intense, but even the fish that were attacking him resolutely resurfaced one by one, as if they were out of their hatred range.
It wasn't until about a thousand meters that Wei En felt a touch under his feet, and he must have reached the bottom of the sea.
At this time, there was already a dark space all around.
If it weren't for the pressure on his face and body, he would have thought he had entered the dream of the Lord of Despair again.
Wei En could only rely on the faint light emitted by some fish to illuminate a small area to see something.
But the strange thing is that once the distance between these fish with light exceeds five meters, the light will disappear instantly, as if being swallowed by the sea water, and the surroundings will fall into darkness again.
Wei En frowned. He did not dare to use mental perception detection, fearing that he would be attacked by some aberrations that could detect his mental power.
In this deep sea, if you are discovered by aberrations... it will be great fun.
After waiting quietly for a while, when another deep-sea creature with red light all over its body passed by, he quietly grabbed its tail and swam with it while swinging his legs.
At the same time, use the light on it to check the surrounding situation, paying special attention to the prompts on the panel in your mind, hoping to find the thing that can contain murderous intent.
hiss!
Here...
But when Wei En saw the situation below clearly, his eyes widened and his heart trembled.
What kind of seabed is there below?
That's a huge deep sea monster!
The monster's body was coiled into a disk like a snake, and its scales shone faintly under the red light, motionless as if dormant.
Its head covered with spikes alone is an astonishing ten meters long.
On its back, there is a row of sharp dorsal fins, and there are countless "tiny" tentacles on the left and right of the dorsal fin.
At this time, these tentacles are dragging some deep-sea creatures with their dorsal fins cut in half into the mouth... Eating while dormant?
Wei En: "..."
He quickly let go of the flashing red fish in his hand, kicked off his legs and swam upward.
Wrong, wrong... He shouldn't have entered the deep sea rashly!
Such a big deep-sea monster looked like it was not something he could deal with in the sea, so he had better get out of here and run away.
But at this moment, a biting chill flowed through Wei En's body -
[You enter the unknown existence's place where murderous intent is contained. Since your spiritual power is less than 5,000, you are about to be dragged into the illusion of endless killing. Evaluation: May die, escape... Special rewards: +40 survival points, +2 toughness level, +2 spiritual level. 】
Spiritual conversion, toughness level conversion to spiritual level, five thousand!
Wei En reacted quickly and immediately increased his mental strength when he sensed something was wrong.
[You stepped into a place where unknown existence contains endless killing intent. Because your spiritual level is greater than 5,000, you successfully resisted the erosion of spiritual power...]
Huh...
you almost got caught.
However, he also confirmed his previous guess that there is indeed a place under the sea where murderous intent is contained!
However, he still doesn't know what it is...
Just as Wei En breathed a sigh of relief and continued to swim upward, preparing to escape from the huge deep-sea monster, he saw a message appear in his mind again.
[You are targeted by the murderous intent of the deep-sea abnormal mutants. Rating: Here comes the big guy! Reward: +40 survival points. ]
40?
Before he could react, a huge pulling force came from behind.
what? !
After realizing that he could not rely on physical strength to break free, Wei En did not care about following the rules of the deep sea, and his mental perception swept behind him.
grass!
He saw that the huge snake-like monster behind him had woken up, opened its bloody mouth and let the seawater flow back, and stared at him with a pair of blood-red eyes.
The tentacles on the left and right sides of its dorsal fin were also dancing crazily towards him, seemingly unhappy with his interruption.
At the same time, there was something strange in Wei En's perception. What was that?
"Nico, Luke."
At the critical moment, Wei En directly asked the secret master to cast the flickering spell.
First, go to the place where the abnormality is sensed, throw the thing into the space ring, and then without stopping, flash above the sea in an instant, shouting to Ronan and others who are waiting: "Set the ship quickly!"
" Set sail?"
Hearing his voice, Ronan was startled for a moment, then thought of what he had heard at sea in the past, and ran directly to the cockpit to start the steam engine, "Put away the anchor!" The
pirates around him also at this time His face changed drastically, and he obviously knew that something that could make the usually calm red-haired captain show such an expression must not be simple.
Wei En also returned to the Ronan and helped the pirates recover the anchor.
"What happened?" Claire ran out and asked in surprise when she saw Wei En with a solemn expression.
"You go back to the theater first!" Wei En held the rope tied to the anchor with both hands and quickly pulled it back, thinking in his mind.
Forty killing intent locks meant that the strength of the deep-sea abnormal mutant was at least twice that of Henrik.
However, Wei En knows very well that in a place like the deep sea, one cannot simply rely on extraordinary power to judge its destructive power.
You must know that Henrik is not as big as it, let alone has the advantages of deep sea creatures.
If he can't get away from that guy...I'm afraid this time, he will have no choice but to abandon the ship and escape with his men again.
"Roar——"
Only five seconds passed before a roar sounded like it came from the abyss.
Immediately afterwards, a huge whirlpool appeared around the Ronan, pulling the entire ship towards the center of the whirlpool.
"Be careful."
Claire was almost thrown away by the force. She quickly grabbed the side of the ship, shouted to Wei En, and ran towards the cabin behind. At this time, she was not escaping alone, but was still worried about her escorts.
Wayne looked at the vortex, "Ronan, can you escape?"
"It will take a while," Ronan shouted from the cockpit: "The steam engine needs a certain amount of time to warm up, one minute!"
One minute?
Wei En frowned slightly. If there were not people on the ship to take care of, entering the theater space now would be the best choice, but now...it
seems that it can't escape unless it is killed!
Thinking of this, Wayne summoned the Mechanical Gate, and took out the sniper rifle for the first time after leaving Custer City, preparing to give the bastard a hard blow after he came out.
coming!
Under the coverage of his spiritual perception, dozens of tentacles were seen flying towards him from under the sea.
Bang, bang bang...
Wei En's hands danced into two afterimages, and the sniper rifle fired a series of bullets, which fell into the sea in a strange arc, instantly shattering the tentacles that attacked the ship, and then those around the ship. .
[You use a sniper rifle to hit the deep-sea abnormal mutant, triggering the burst rune and triggering the death characteristic - disease, which means the death progress is 45/10000. Evaluation: Rewards: Survival points +10, marksmanship +2, toughness level +1]
[...]
[You use a sniper rifle to hit the deep sea abnormality, triggering the burst rune, triggering the death characteristic - aging, and the death progress is 3369/10000. Evaluation: Reward: Survival Points +5, Marksmanship +1. ]
10,000?
Fortunately, these tentacles were not covered with scales and their defense was not high. They were easily stopped by the combined attack of bullets and rune power from the sniper rifle.
Despite this, the restless sea surface affected by the aberrant attack also caused the entire Ronan to shake violently.
"Deep, deep sea abnormality..."
"I'm going to die!"
"Damn it, stop shouting, put the anchor away quickly, the captain is here, everything will be fine!"
Wei En ignored the noise of the pirates, His mental perception reached down, carefully observing the movements of the aberrant creature.
Just a few more rounds will trigger its death characteristic!
"Ho-"
Come on...huh?
Hearing this sound, Wei En thought that the abnormal attack was coming again.
But the opposite was true. After the sound came out, the vortex next to the steamship began to slowly shrink, and the suction force dropped a lot.
Did you run away?
Wei En did not dare to relax, his mental perception still covered the surrounding area, and he even went deep under the sea surface to detect the movements of the big guy.
After confirming that the tentacles retracted and the aberration dived deeper, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But a question suddenly popped up in his mind, are mutants also afraid of death?
"Captain, start it!" Ronan shouted in the cockpit.
"Get out of here!"
Wei En glanced at the pirates who were still in panic, and said coldly: "The crisis is over, clean up the ship!" "It's over?" "
I
..."
"Shut up, I didn't hear what the captain said. Hurry up and pack your things!"
Under the leadership of their respective captains, the pirates began to inspect various parts of the ship, repair damaged areas, and sort out items that had been thrown away.
But Wei En still stood behind the bow of the ship, staring at the movement under the sea, shooting from time to time to kill some monsters that came up.
It wasn't until the Ronan ran far away that he put the sniper rifle into the mechanical door and let out a sigh of relief. "It seems that we can't go deep into the sea anymore." He could hold on, but the key was that the
ship under his feet could not withstand it. Living with those huge aberrations...
"Are you out of danger?" Claire poked her head out of the cabin.
Wayne nodded, "How is the situation inside?"
"A few people were slightly injured, and one of the unlucky ones was seriously injured. Someone is already treating him."
"Yeah."
"Aren't you going to say something?" Claire leaned against the door of the cabin. "Since yesterday, Since the beginning of the night, you have been acting mysteriously as if you were looking for something... Could it be that you found a treasure?" "
There is no treasure, but there are a bunch of aberrations. Do you want it?"
When she said this, Wei En also remembered it. , he did bring something back from the sea.
Thinking like this, he took out the thing from the space ring that reacted abnormally in mental perception.
"That's...you said you're not looking for a treasure?!"
"Treasure?"
Wei En was startled and looked at the thing in his hand - a crystal-like thing the size of a fist, with a crystal clear surface and several lines. Honeycomb holes.
"This is the rough stone used to make equipment such as space rings," Claire stared at the crystal. "The price of one gram is as high as five gold pounds!"
One gram is worth five gold pounds?
Wei En weighed it and found that the piece on his hand weighed at least one kilogram, so that was five thousand gold pounds?
To make a fortune... Well, compared to his next expenses, five thousand gold pounds doesn't seem to be a lot?
"You don't seem to be very happy?" Claire said with a half-smile: "Remember when I first met you, five pounds could make you happy for a long time..."
Wei En glared at her and put away the rough stone again. He stood up and said, "Happy, something gained is much better than nothing."
Just now he thought that what he got would be the thing contained by the murderous intention...
It's a pity... he didn't find that thing.
But if you think about it carefully, there are many extraordinary beings on the Cordo Sea who are stronger than him. If that thing was found so easily, I am afraid it would have been cleaned up long ago.
"Although its price is not high, it is definitely a very rare thing. For a while, Menoer frantically contacted other sects in order to buy more." "Menoer?" Wei En was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean
? Do you want me to hand this thing over to him?"
"Of course not... I just think it may be useful for more than just making space equipment," Claire smiled charmingly, "You can handle it yourself, I Let's continue training the guards."
After saying that, she turned around and entered the cabin, leaving Wei En in a daze.
It's not just about making space equipment...
Wei En thought of the time he met Menoer before. Could it be that the other function of that crystal refers to Menoer's weird space ability?
Well, it seems like it’s better to keep that rough stone for now.
He was quite interested in Menor's ability, which was simply a necessary skill for traveling at home.
...
...
After experiencing this accident, Wei En stayed on the Ronan for a while to confirm that there was no problem, and then he returned to the theater with those boxes.
Although his rash entry into the deep sea caused some commotion this time, he also learned a little more about the situation at sea.
The murderous dream and the place where killing intent is contained only appear at night, extraordinary power cannot be used easily, corpse explosion techniques should be used as little as possible, and there are many types of deformities in the sea... From these known rules, it can be inferred that sailing in the deep sea is better than sailing in the deep sea
. There are many more dangers in the city-state.
At least most of the city-states were protected by the church, parliament, and committees of nobility, and a minimum of order was maintained.
Well, except for the Custer City State a few days ago...
"No wonder the pirates in Basil Street were so careless. Anyone who experiences a crisis from time to time will also lack awe of the order in the city-state."
Thinking of this, Wei En sighed, said hello to Tina and the others, and got into the studio.
He was going to transform the corpse in the box into an undead creature, and wanted to see if the transformation could be successful without its origin or soul.
If successful, we might be able to get something from them about the killing dream.
Buzz...
special liaison?
Wayne pushed open the door of the studio and saw the golden lines on the black trophy flickering. Who is it?
He put the box aside, walked over and pressed the gem, waiting for the screen to appear.
After a while, a figure slowly emerged from the light above the trophy.
Skull head?
Wei En saw the figure on the screen and said unexpectedly: "Dean Qiao Sue?"
"Good afternoon, Wizard Wei En."
"Good afternoon..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Dean Qiao's skull head. He suddenly came closer, the two red lights in his eyes flashed crazily, looking anxious.
"Wizard Wei En, please help!!"
PS: I still owe eight more chapters.
