Treasure hunter, sailing on the blue sea

At this time, an ordinary card appeared in Alka's hand, but it was wrapped in pink mist and was thrown out by him.

The card drew an arc in front, leaving a long line of pink smoke.

When the fireball hit the pink smoke, the whole body became dim, then became heavy, lost power and crashed into the sea water below.

This is Alka's newly developed ability.

Through the pink dreaming mist, inanimate objects are also infected with the properties of dreaming.

Although it can't really make it fall asleep, it can obviously slow down the object itself.

It's perfect to use at this time.

The temperature of the water has dropped to freezing point, and heavy snow has fallen from the sky.

As the sword blade was waved, icicles pierced forward one after another, and froze the seawater in front of them into ice cubes.

These ice blocks seriously hindered the lava snake's pursuit, and the distance became farther and farther.

Several sections of the lava snake have been broken, and it can be seen that the size of the snake has shrunk.

As the surrounding temperature gets lower and lower.

Its movements couldn't help but become sluggish, and another icicle hit its body. It stopped helplessly and did not continue to chase.

Looking at the ship getting further and further away from him, he opened his huge mouth and roared angrily.

And he kept spraying lava fireballs one after another towards the ship to vent his anger.

But these fireballs were frozen by the cold in mid-air. Although they did not immediately turn into ice, they lost kinetic energy and fell into the sea water, turning into small pieces of stone.

"It seems it gave up." Alka said as he looked at the giant lava snake that was no longer chasing them and could only roar in place.

Julia then exhaled, and the breath turned into ice slag in the air.

Controlling the treasure in his hand, he put it into the box next to him.

The temperature in the sky dropped immediately, and the cold was fading quickly.

"This treasure can no longer be used. The magic power in the circuit has begun to undergo serious changes."

The properties of Frost Nova are so strong that after just a few uses, Julia's magic power has been transformed into frost properties.

After using it a few times, it really goes to the extreme.

It was not as gentle as Dream Catcher, and it took half a year before it began to slowly change Alka's magic.

It may also be related to the fact that Dream Catcher's magical properties are not strong.

It seems to be a common problem with elemental treasures, but of course this is only according to Lucilia.

Without the giant lava snake chasing after them, they were finally safe. The speed of the ship gradually slowed down and began to travel at normal sailing speed.

"Pororo will help check if there are any signs of damage anywhere around the ship, and the rest of the team will check the deck mast."

Alka said as he began to inspect the entire ship.

There is no way, this ship is just a relatively low-level spell ship after all, there is no so-called quality inspection system, they need to take a good look after the battle.

Problems must be solved as soon as they are discovered. Maritime navigation cannot be careless.

And after all, there are only 6 of them on this ship. The scope of activities is very wide, and there will always be areas that cannot be taken care of.

After checking to make sure there were no problems, everyone gathered on the deck.

Looking at the rectangular metal block in front of them, the metal surface was polished as smooth as a mirror.

Alka raised his head and looked at the people in front of him.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Xia Daiti, please give it a try."

Since he possesses the spell when he touches it, Xia Daiti should be the most difficult person to possess the treasure among the members on the ship at this stage.

After possessing the treasure, she should be the first to touch it to see if it is suitable.

Xia Detti nodded when he heard it, stretched out his hand and touched the metal surface, and magic power flowed down the palm of his hand.

However, as soon as the magic power was incorporated, it was immediately repulsed. The repulsion was so powerful that Xia Daiti was shocked and backed away.

Seeing this, Alka couldn't help but stretch out his leg and kick the treasure in front of him.

Bully the weak and fear the hard.

Why wasn't he so tough when he input his magic power just now?

Since Xia Daiti couldn't do it, Alka turned to look at Pororo.

Seeing Alka's gaze, Pororo nodded, walked up, and reached out to touch the mirror-like metal surface.

The magic power surged out like water, but this time it was still repelled, knocking Pororo's hand away from it.

"what happened?"

This phenomenon left Alka a little confused.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be.

It is understandable that Xia Daiti was rejected. After all, she understood the incantation when she became a toucher. In the eyes of many treasures, she is a person who possesses other treasures.

But this is not the case for Pororo. Pororo is just an ordinary toucher and should not be repulsed by the treasure.

It's really weird.

After hearing Alka's words, the others didn't understand either.

"Lucilia, are you aware of this situation?"

Hearing Alka's question, Lucilia on her shoulder shook her head: "I don't know, I haven't seen or heard of such a situation."

Well, even the most knowledgeable guy in the team doesn’t know either.

It seems that the treasure's mystery is quite deep.

So now it's just Jason and Julia.

"Jason, give it a try first."

Hearing this, Jason couldn't help but rub his hands, and stretched out his hand slightly nervously, covering the metal surface of the box.

At this time, the metal surface is still accompanied by a certain amount of warmth, and is not as cold as real metal.

Conveying its own pale magic power, it surged onto the surface of the metal.

As the magic power poured in, this time the box did not return the magic power like Xia Daiti and the others did before, but fell silent.

It seems like you are tasting?

I don’t know why Alka feels like this.

"My abilities are not very good, but I am quite picky." Alka next to him couldn't help complaining.

Everyone looked at Alka strangely, unable to understand what he meant.

Alka explained briefly.

Then he saw the metal box reacting, and a smile appeared on Jason's face when he encountered this situation.

Patterns appeared on the originally smooth metal surface, which emitted a red light like magma and spread across the surface.

It seems to be forming some kind of pattern.

Magic power also began to feed back into Jason's body.

Jason closed his eyes, and his body emitted a faint orange-red light, as if his body was ignited with arrogance.

Seeing such a situation, everyone had some experience, so they backed away slightly and stopped disturbing.

Seeing everyone's actions, Huanlu quickly took a few steps back.

It feels like I have spent all my life's shock on this ship.

After a while, Jason opened his eyes. At this time, he already knew what kind of abilities the metal box treasure in front of him had.

But looking at Jason's expression, he was no longer the happy one before, but looked a little stiff.

He seemed unhappy.

This expression made everyone feel a little strange, it was not quite what he should be showing now.

Based on Jason's habits, he should be smiling all over his face now.

Seeing this situation, Alka asked from the side: "What's wrong Jason? Is there anything wrong with this treasure?"

After hearing Alka's words, Jason's expression was a little strange, as if he didn't know what to say, so he could only pat the metal box at his feet.

"What should I say? You guys can see for yourselves."

After saying that, it was as if a piece of mirrored metal had cracked in the middle.

The gap circled around and divided the entire metal into two. The top piece that seemed to be the cover slowly floated up.

The true appearance inside was revealed.

This thing is indeed a box.

And as the box is opened, the space inside the box and the space outside are distorted and finally reversed.

It took a while before they were completely combined, and there were no more strange phenomena.

Regarding this abnormal phenomenon, Jason explained next to him: "The inside of this box can block time and stop the flow of time in the box. Therefore, when it is opened, it will have different effects with the time it is closed, because it requires the internal time to reconcile with the time of the outside world.”

"Besides, this box contains something."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look inside. Just now, due to the distortion of space, they couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.

It's clear now.

Inside the box is an egg-like object.

The overall color of the egg is a gradient of red and blue that blend together and look quite handsome. The surface looks very smooth, and you can see lines composed of hexagons.

It looks more like a work of art made of metal, with the surface polished as smooth as a mirror.

Jason walked up, squatted down, put his hand into the box, and gently took out the egg inside.

The egg gently stuck to his body and floated gently.

"This egg and this box are one, or..."

Alka asked from the side. He might actually have guessed the reason for Jason's strange expression.

Hearing Alka's question, Jason raised his head and shook his head helplessly.

"No, but this box was made for this egg. Although the box is a treasure, its function is just to stop the time in the box."

After hearing this, everyone became slightly silent.

"Just stopping the time in the box? Doesn't it give you any abilities?" Xia Daiti couldn't help asking from the side.

In this case, this box can only be classified as a powerful magic item and cannot reach the level of a treasure at all.

But his ability is indeed outrageous. After all, he can stop the passage of time.

Only in the box though.

But the size of the box is not enough to hold one person.

After hearing Xia Dai's question, Jason nodded heavily.

"Really, this is the only ability."

In other words, this box was really built just for this egg.

"Then logically it shouldn't be. Then someone shouldn't be able to open it just by inputting magic power. It must require a specific key or something."

After all, this box behaved like a treasure before, repulsive to some people and acceptable to others.

Although he rejected Pororo, he easily accepted Jason's magic and let him control the box.

If it was to protect the eggs inside, this would be too easy.

It doesn't seem to have a protective effect.

Everyone looked at Jason, waiting for his answer.

However, the magic power is growing in Jason's body, and the magic power in his body is increasing rapidly.

It only took a short while to reach the triple helix.

Feel the magic vacuum around you.

"It seems that this box can't be said to be useless. He at least made Jason mention the triple helix."

Alka said with a smile beside him.

This box still has this basic ability.

Even though this box didn't have much effect, it promoted Jason to the triple helix.

As long as Jason meditates a little harder during this period, he can stabilize his strength at this stage, even if he loses the treasure.

As the vacuum disappeared and magic filled in, Jason opened his eyes sweating profusely.

The originally stiff face finally showed a smile.

"At least there's still something gained."

Alka pointed at the blue and red egg that was close to him: "Since a treasure was specially created for this egg, then this egg should be very powerful, or does it have any effect?"

Hearing Alka's question, everyone also showed curious eyes.

Since the box is nothing to care about, the egg must have a story.

Otherwise, it would be too exaggerated to create a treasure specifically for protection.

Jason nodded when he heard this, and gently took off the egg next to him with both hands.

"From the information given in the box, this egg was left behind a long time ago, and the box was specially built by the egg's parents to protect their children."

"As for the process and why, I don't know, but the reason why my magic power can be instilled is because this box has a screening process."

"He will eliminate the unqualified protectors and select a qualified protector to open the box. The moment I open the box, I conclude a contract with this egg."

Having said this, Jason's face couldn't help but become sad again.

No one should be depressed if this is done to them.

I originally thought it was a treasure, and after happily mastering it, it turned out to be a treasure, but it was an almost useless treasure.

It's useless, so forget it. It also caused a lot of trouble and made a contract with an unknown thing.

"contract?"

Hearing this and looking at Jason's frowning expression, Alka couldn't help but frown.

"What kind of contract is harmful to you?"

This is what he is concerned about, if because of finding the treasure himself, his teammates are put in a dangerous situation.

This is not worth the gain, and Alka must solve it.

Jason looked at everyone's slightly worried eyes, smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, don't be so nervous, this contract is fairly fair."

“Protect this egg to the best of your ability, protect it as it grows and become its warrior, and when it hatches and grows, it will also give me feedback.

There are pros and cons, but they didn't tell me what the hatched thing would be. "

Everyone nodded when they heard the requirements of the contract. That's okay, but they were afraid of setting any unequal requirements.

This contract sounds okay.

"But the contract says that your strength will be fed back as the strength in this egg increases, which means that the creatures in this egg should be relatively powerful."

Alka thought for a moment and said.

If the object in the egg was not of that powerful race, there would not be such a clause in the contract, because this clause was obviously giving benefits.

Hearing this, Jason nodded. He felt the same way, so although he was a little frustrated, he could still accept it.

Thinking of this, he raised the egg in his hand.

"I just don't know what kind of thing will hatch out of here?"

Xia Detti walked up and patted his shoulder.

"Congratulations Jason."

Hearing Xia Daiti's words, Jason turned his head and looked at her, confusion revealed in his eyes.

"Congratulations to me?"

"Congratulations on becoming a father, hahaha..."

Having said this, Xia Daiqi couldn't help but reveal a gloating smile on her face.

Hearing this, the others couldn't help but laugh.

Indeed, what hatched from this egg should be a baby.

Isn't Jason, who has formed a contract with this kind of baby, the equivalent of a daddy?

Maybe that's how the contract came about.

After hearing Xia Daiti's words and looking at everyone's smiles, Jason couldn't help but turn his head and look at the egg in his hand, with a strange expression on his face.

He is still young.

Why did it suddenly become like this?

The expression on his face couldn't help but become distressed.

After everyone had finished joking, Alka squatted down and looked at the metal box.

After thinking for a while, he asked: "Jason, is this box useful to you? Or to your baby?"

"It's useless. Don't say it's my baby. I just entered into a contractual relationship with him."

Hearing Jason's words, Alka waved his hand casually and didn't listen at all.

Instead, he thought alone.

This box is just a bonus of an egg. Its function can be said to be extremely single, and it can't even be called a treasure.

If the box is big enough to hold a person, the value will be greatly increased.

For example, if a person is dying, putting him or her in this box can save his or her life.

The problem is that the box is too small.

It's okay to use it to hold things, but it's obviously impossible to use it to hold people, not even children.

Because the space inside it is too small.

From the outside, it looks like 1 meter long, 0.5 meters wide, and maybe about 0.3 meters tall.

But if you actually look at the internal volume, you will find that the thickness of the box accounts for almost half.

After all, it is a treasure chest used to protect the egg. As long as it can hold the egg, other places must be used to increase the thickness to protect the safety of the egg.

Naturally, it is not of much use.

No wonder it was much weaker than his own Dream Catcher. Alka felt that there was a question mark as to whether he could make people become Touchers.

Of course, this is just an exaggeration, but the number of people he can touch is definitely small. This is inevitable, and it is estimated that there may not even be 100 people.

The most important thing is that as a treasure, he cannot bring any benefit to Jason.

In addition to his high energy, Jason was forced to rise outside the triple helix.
