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

Chapter 87 [Blood Moon Secret Treasure] and [Crimson Ancient Tree] (3000)

  In the shadow-shrouded neighborhood, a figure that passed quickly suddenly stopped.

"…This is?"

 Looking at the new situation emerging in front of him, Xia En had a strange expression.

 It feels like there are a few more stars in the upper right corner of the perspective.

 “Isn’t it just to kill an old man?”

"Why are they reacting so loudly? They are even wanted."

"but…"

Shane quickly noticed the penultimate line in the description.

 “Any blood could be a target for marking?”

The projected body itself has no blood, but if a vampire deliberately leaves his own blood on him, it is possible to lock his location.

Xia En looked at the remaining blood stains on his windbreaker and the [Blood Sword] in his hand.

 “Looks like I’ll have to be more careful from now on.”

 “But this time…”

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took a sudden step forward, and struck out with a sword toward the house on the right!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 simultaneously!

 The wall was cut open with a sword, and at the same time, the head of a vampire youth flew high into the air.

 “…let me make a scene.”

“It’s not clear who is the hunter and who is the prey!”

 …

 …

  【Submarine is over! 】

　　【Please choose your trophy! 】

  【1. Broken Blood Slave Corpse】

  【2.Pasan Falon's Eyeballs】

  【3.Bloodstone Necklace】

  【4. Lisa Seth’s legs (including feet)】

　　…Okay, you guys are stronger this time.”

Shaan opened his eyes in the captain's cabin and touched his neck.

The pain of being cut open by a sharp blood line still vaguely remains on the surface of the skin.

Although he did cause a scene in the city and killed countless vampires and blood slaves.

 But the [Ship Soul Power] is limited after all, and if you fall into the encirclement and suppression of the enemy, it is inevitable that you will eventually suffer defeat.

However, Xia En did not feel sad for the death of the projection body for a moment, but only felt that this wave was not a loss.

His projections are infinite.

 The number of vampires in the secret realm is always limited.

 Let’s see who can outspend whom!

 Subsequently, Xia En looked at these trophies.

His eyes lingered on option 4 for a moment, and his mood was a little subtle.

 “Why legs? Also emphasize the feet?”

“Besides, it turns out that the corpses of vampires are also good materials?”

  【Pasan Falon's Eyeballs】

 【Quality: Ordinary】

  【Type: Material】

  【Description: The eyeball of a vampire. 】

　　【After special processing and combined with other materials, it can be made into one-time props such as "Detective Eyes" and "Profane Poison". 】

  【Pharmaceuticals are risky, so be careful when smelting. 】

Think about it carefully, the corpse of such an extraordinary creature already contains a certain amount of secret power, so it is not surprising that it can be used as a material.

“It seems that among the thirty-two secret paths, there are professions like [alchemist] and [potionist]?”

“Giving extraordinary materials to professionals like this is of great use.”

“Unfortunately, I can’t use it for the time being.”

Xia En didn’t hesitate much and quickly chose the [Bloodstone Necklace].

This is also a relic of that "Lisa Sethis".

This vampire woman's strength is not inferior to that of the old gentleman, and she caused a lot of trouble to Xia En during the siege.

And Xia En knows the essence of group fighting -

　　It is better to grab one and beat him to death than to let the rain and dew fall on him.

 So, he chased Lisa Seth for three streets, and then, surrounded by all the vampires, beat her to death, and thus obtained this [Bloodstone Necklace].

 After a thought.

  A necklace composed of several blood-colored crystals appeared in the palm of Xia En's hand.

This "blood stone" is different from the gems and crystals in Xia En's impression.

The surface has a warm temperature and even feels a little soft, as if touching the skin of a living person.

 If you look closely, you can find that there are many fine and tiny secret lines on it.

 Inside, there seemed to be viscous liquid flowing.

  【Bloodstone Necklace】

 【Quality: Rare】

  【Type: Equipment】

  【Description: A necklace made of blessed bloodstone, which has the effect of calming and concentrating. 】

  【After wearing it, it can moderately increase magic affinity, spell casting concentration, and stability. 】

　　【Bloodstone is a product secreted by the "Crimson Ancient Tree" after absorbing blood. It is a rare and extraordinary material. 】

  【It is also the backup food for vampires. 】

The necklace itself is not particularly special. It can only be said to be a good extraordinary piece of equipment, more suitable for spellcasters.

But the information in the description made Xia En quite concerned.

 “Bloodstone…Crimson ancient tree…”

 There was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

 Obvious.

Even if there are methods such as hibernation and deep sleep, the blood-drinking desire carved deep in the blood of the vampires is difficult to eliminate.

 So, how should they solve this physiological need during the long time between [Blood Moon Nights]?

 The blood stone in Xia En's hand is undoubtedly the answer.

 Preserve concentrated blood in a solid state without losing its original activity.

 A perfect reserve grain was born.

 In the process, it also acquires mysterious and extraordinary characteristics. “However, bloodstones do not have any restrictions that only vampires can use them.”

 “For some secret travelers, maybe this can also be regarded as a secret treasure?”

“There’s also [Crimson Ancient Tree]… the name sounds like it’s a good thing, and it might be able to produce something similar to a magic potion.”

from this angle.

 The legend about the secret treasure of [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is not completely fabricated.

 It’s just that ordinary explorers may not have the chance to see them.

After thinking for a moment, Shane walked to the deck, ready to take a few breaths of fresh air.

 Staying in the decadent and depressing environment of [Blood Moon Secret Realm] for a long time will cause problems sooner or later.

 “Mr. Captain!”

Joy, who was reading on the deck, noticed his arrival first and greeted him with a smile.

  【Scholar】This secret path is just like its name. It requires accumulating a lot of knowledge in order to move to the next step.

 Therefore, the process of reading itself is actually a kind of practice.

It just so happens that Joey is also a good kid who loves to learn.

—She knows a little bit about everything, which is exactly the sign of being good at learning.

 It’s just because of my poor life when I was young, I didn’t have the opportunity to study.

Now that there was money on the ship, Xia En simply bought a batch of books covering history, geography, magic, cooking and other fields for her to enjoy.

Shaan was originally worried that Joey didn’t have a teacher and didn’t know how to get started.

Who would have thought that An actually volunteered and took on the responsibility of being a teacher.

Xia En discovered that this knight was actually extremely knowledgeable!

 But when asked where he learned this knowledge, An said he didn't know either.

 In his words—

　　【It's like... a long time ago, someone planted the seeds of this knowledge in my mind. 】

  【As I grow, they grow out naturally. 】

Shaan can only regard it as the "racial talent" of the elves.

 At this time, An was on the other corner of the deck, conducting a unique practice.

His body, covered in thick armor, kept assuming strange poses one after another.

 The movement is very slow, but each posture seems to exercise most of the muscles in the body and is extremely energy-consuming.

At the same time, the breath coming from under the armor carried an indescribable mysterious rhythm.

 One exhale, one inhale.

 It forms an incomparably harmonious ensemble with the beating of the heart and the flow of blood.

  【Knight training method】

  【Knight Breathing Method】

 These two secret techniques are the knowledge that An An created in his mind after being promoted to Knight.

By the way, Sean also learned this skill after binding An as a crew member.

 Looking at the knight in front of him.

Even without using [Blood Sense], Xia En could detect that this knight was getting stronger bit by bit.

 Be down-to-earth and accumulate a lot of experience.

  It is undoubtedly the best evaluation of An.

Although there is no such exaggerated growth rate as Sean, the two crew members are still moving forward steadily on their own paths.

Xia En felt a little relieved.

 After thinking for a while, he handed the [Bloodstone Necklace] to Joey.

"…This is?"

 “This little gift for you may help you practice magic.”

Joy took the necklace and immediately felt how extraordinary it was.

 The active secret power is flowing in the necklace.

However, this blood-colored crystal reminded her of the huge blood moon on the sea.

But Joey didn’t ask anything, just nodded heavily.

 “Thank you, Mr. Captain!”

 In fact, it was such a long time on the ship.

Both Joey and An, they were vaguely aware of Xia En's specialness from some clues.

 The truth is only a step away from the last layer of window paper.

 It's just that both parties tacitly understood it and didn't expose it.

 

At this moment, the sound of water coming from the sea attracted Xia En's attention.

 He turned around and looked.

On a nearby salvage boat, several sailors jumped into the sea one after another.

 The faces of these people were full of excitement and anticipation.

They have no idea what kind of dangers are waiting for them under the blood moon.

Moreover, not only this ship, but also many ships on Silver Moon Bay sent a second batch of crew members to the sea today.

There are even some ships that actually just arrived near Silver Moon Island today.

It is foreseeable that in the next month, there will be groups of treasure hunters who will join the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] without hesitation.

 For the vampires, this must be a sumptuous feast.

To be honest, Xia En doesn't really care too much about the life and death of these outsiders.

You choose your own path, and you have to bear the cost.

 But as far as these two submersible explorations...

Xia En discovered that after drinking enough blood, the strength of the vampires will increase to varying degrees.

 Simply put, when the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] first opened, these vampires were actually in a "hungry" and "weak" state.

 But with the influx of treasure hunters, they will gradually return to their full glory.

 The difficulty of the entire [Blood Moon Secret Realm] will also continue to increase.

 When Xia En was thinking.

　　rang…dang…

Several bells rang not far away.

 He looked up, but couldn't help but frown slightly.

On the sea, I saw a huge ship with a siren sail, sailing towards the Black Swan surrounded by waves!

   Thanks to "Tao Yuanming" for the 100-coin reward! Thank you so much!

Renovation started upstairs today, and I even had to go to the library to code. I felt... extremely ashamed!
