We Agreed To Set Sail and Become the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

Chapter 44 [Deep Sea Murloc]

 The salty sea breeze blows in your face, and the bright golden sunshine shines down, bringing a warm and welcoming touch.

 All senses are extremely real and clear.

If it hadn't been for the last second, the surrounding sky was still dark, Xia En might not have realized that he had entered the [Promotion Ritual].

 “What a wonderful feeling…”

Xia En looked at his body and found that it was no different from reality.

 But apart from his clothes, he only had an ordinary iron sword for self-defense.

 After confirming his own status, Xia En looked around.

Just as Xia En came up with this idea, several lines of information appeared on the panel.

"No wonder some people say that it is the reflection of the ocean in the starry sky..."

 He is a master of tasks!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 simultaneously!

 The sword light flashed!

Shaan can control the entire ship with just a thought.

Until this moment, its limbs were still twitching and squirming, unwilling to rest.

 

The skin on its body is smooth and moist, and its hands and feet are webbed. Its huge, protruding fish eyes that never close are staring at Xia En with hostility.

 In fact, the key to promotion lies in getting the approval of [Secret Sea].

As a captain, it’s normal for me to take the boat with me, right?

  【Trial mission:】

 “Isn’t this the Black Swan?”

 “The little chic looks like the real thing.”

A cold light flashed in Xia En's eyes, he drew out the sword from his waist and took a step forward.

  【Note: After strengthening, the components will undergo special irreversible changes, please use with caution. 】

Even if you only have an ordinary iron sword in your hand, it is still easy to kill such a deep-sea murloc.

 After obtaining the [Shadow Sword Skill] from the prince's valet, his swordsmanship level has improved dramatically.

Xia En looked at this mysterious ocean quietly and forced himself to calm down.

"Um?"

Since he was still in the promotion trial, Xia En did not continue to study the use of this new material, but carefully observed the body of the deep-sea fishman.

 It's just that this sea is different from the sea that Xia En is familiar with.

Think about it, if you can carry extraordinary items for promotion, the difficulty will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

 But what does this “dirty” prefix mean?

 What kind of beings have they been contaminated by?

 Then, Xia En looked further into the distance.

Purple-black blood splashed out.

 “Now, what do I do?”

Immediately, a dark black crystal precipitated from the fish-man's body and submerged into Xia En's body.

 It’s like...this ship is sailing in the starry sky!

 “This is the legendary [Secret Sea].”

 —Ship Spirit!

 This ship is just a body without a soul.

It is obviously liquid sea water, but it has an indescribable feeling of emptiness and clarity, like the dark night sky on a clear summer night.

  【This material can only be obtained in special scenes. 】

Outside the side of the ship, there is an invisible, slightly undulating sea surface.

 This is a fish-man with a strange shape.

　　【Filthy Secret Sea Crystal】

ˆ【Quality: Rare】

Take the process of An's promotion to the first level [Knight] as an example. His trial was to defeat the giant beast he encountered, thus proving his strength.

 But generally speaking, the trial tasks from level 0 to level 1 are not too difficult, and they usually involve defeating an enemy with neither high nor low strength.

　　【Kill the Deep Sea Murloc! 】

 “What a perverted vitality!”

　　　【Description: The secret sea crystals polluted by strange forces cannot be absorbed directly, but can be stored in the "Eye of the Secret Sea" and used to strengthen the core components of the ship. 】

 Deep-sea fishmen are mutated marine creatures, so it is normal for [secret sea crystals] to exist in their bodies.

 In the blink of an eye, a dark shadow fell on the deck. After seeing its appearance clearly, Xia En couldn't help but frown slightly.

Honestly speaking, it is more like the projection of the [Black Swan] in this mysterious space.

 After traveling for such a long time, Xia En is no longer the novice captain who didn't know anything at first.

  It means that there must be more than one of them!

Hush, crash, crash...

Xia En glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a black shadow quickly climbing up the side of the ship.

Underfoot, there is a slightly swaying wooden deck.

If the trial ends here, its difficulty is still within a reasonable range.

Xia En couldn't think of the answers to these questions at the moment, so he simply put them aside for the time being and chose to store the filthy crystals.

  【Pollution, Devouring, Evolution...】

The sword edge pierced the chest of the deep-sea murloc just right.

Shaan was a little surprised.

 In other words, it is actually passing a certain trial.

 Why does the Black Swan appear in the [Promotion Ritual]?

　　【It has been detected that "filthy secret sea crystals" are present in the corpse. Do you want to store it? 】

  Is this a prompt that other mystics will see, or is it a privilege brought by [Eye of the Secret Sea]?

However, after observing for a while, Shane also noticed that although the ship looked the same as the Black Swan in appearance, it was missing one of the most important things.

Of course, the trials of each secret path are different.

Xia En was secretly surprised: "With this kind of speed and strength...is it really something that ordinary people who haven't been promoted can deal with?"

Extraordinary items such as the [Black Stone Dagger] and [Hui Cult Amulet] are all missing.

　　【Destroy all the deep-sea murlocs who climb onto the ship! 】

Especially when Xia En saw the dark swan statue on the bow of the ship, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble.

Under the sea surface, there seemed to be a little bit of shimmering light, and gray-white cracks were expanding flickeringly.

  【Crystal of filth: 1】

Before he could think much, the deep-sea fishman let out a hoarse roar and pounced at him at a speed that exceeded that of an ordinary person!

 The difficulty of subsequent promotion trials will gradually increase, and there may even be an online trial where several Mystics are promoted together.

ˆThrough the information he obtained from Duke Island and An’s personal experience, he already had a rough understanding of the specific process of the [Promotion Ritual].

At this moment, the sound of splashing water came from the sea.

However, after being stabbed in the heart, the fishman still struggled for a long time, its large mouth full of sharp teeth constantly opening and closing, trying to bite off a piece of meat from Xia En's body.

　　【If the trialist dies, or the ship's durability drops to (50/100), the mission is deemed to have failed! 】

Xia En was in a weird mood.

Even so, there is still a very close connection between it and Shane.

 Xia En is quite confident about this.

 But don’t forget, the task description on the panel is “All deep-sea murlocs!”

 Looking at these lines of text, Xia En was stunned.

 The sea water here is pure black.

 The word "recognition" sounds a bit abstract.

These scenes are so familiar that they can’t even be described as “déjà vu.”

As if to confirm Xia En’s conjecture, continuous sounds of water came from both sides of the ship.

"…ah?"

Or is this a characteristic unique to the Captain’s secret path?

What sounded at the same time was that kind of wild, sharp guttural sound.

Besides, there are tall masts and swollen sails.

  【Type: Material】

Those weird lights and shadows shroud the depths of the sea, making the sea even more magical.

 One after another, the deep-sea murlocs boarded the deck like a tide!
