We Agreed To Set Sail and Become the Ruler of the Deep Sea? - #146 - Chapter 146: Leave the foggy sea and fight the [Blood Duke] again!

Chapter 146: Leave the foggy sea and fight the [Blood Duke] again!

 First of all, there is the talent [Plundering Storm].

 There is no doubt that this is the core ability of [Storm Reaver], and it is also the origin of the name of this hidden profession.

 With this talent, Xia En can improve his attributes and strength by encountering storms!

The only pity is that…

 The panel clearly describes “naturally formed storms”, which means that Shane cannot use Joey’s [Summon Storm] to increase his attributes without thinking.

Think about it, the secret path to promotion will definitely not leave such obvious loopholes.

“What a pity, otherwise I would let Joey summon the storm every day and squeeze out all her secret power!”

Xia En sighed with a rather regretful expression.

“However, storms contain different secret powers…”

 Seeing this statement, Xia En was thoughtful.

 As a result, within a few days, Mr. Captain was left far behind again.

“In other words, if you want to complete [Special Plunder], you must head to other sea areas.”

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Joey looked at Shane and asked: “Mr. Captain, are we about to set off?”

This feeling is really hard to describe.

In such a short period of time, from an ordinary person who is heavily in debt to the current third-level mystical practitioner, if this is not considered a genius, then I am afraid there will be no geniuses in the world!

 Inexplicably, Joey remembered the words he heard when he got on the boat—

It’s just that it doesn’t have the “once a day” limit, nor does it have the terrible side effects of [Giant Wristwheel].

“The journey of the great captain Shane is about to begin!”

 No matter what, feeling the surging power in his body, Xia En can clearly realize how powerful he is at this time.

As the first crew member to board the ship, Joey can be said to have witnessed Shane’s growth along the way.

At the time, she just felt that the captain was a little too confident and too arrogant.

 Storms formed in different sea areas naturally have different characteristics.

 The storms in the Sea of ​​Ashes and the Cold Sea are respectively filled with blazing flames and biting ice.

As we all know, the Seven Seas are very large, so big that there are great differences between each sea area.

“Theoretically, as long as I plunder enough storms, I can be in the [Storm Power] state indefinitely?”

“It’s not in vain that I have worked so hard to level up and collect magic potions.”

She trotted over and felt secretly frightened after sensing the change in Xia En’s aura.

 “Mr. Captain, the promotion was successful…”

For example, a storm formed in the thunder-magnetic sea area naturally possesses the secret power of thunder magnetism.

“I hope that by then, there will still be a place for me next to Mr. Captain.”

Xia En nodded: “Yes, you go and inform Fei Ya and the others.”

“The 0 after no attribute and the 1 after Dark Thunder are probably the number of times I can call [Storm Power].”

 For a moment, several conjectures appeared in Xia En’s mind.

However, the specific effect can only be known after actual use and testing.

 What is a BOSS template?

“After half a year of accumulation, I was promoted from zero to level three. This speed should not be too slow if you look at Nanami.”

 The only limit to this skill is the number of plundering storms.

  【Captain】The core of the secret path is actually “exploitation” and “exploration.”

With a sigh in his heart, Xia En raised his head and looked at the misty sea, with a coldness flashing in his eyes.

Xia En touched his chin, but he was not surprised.

 If you want to go further on this path, you must naturally do things that conform to its principles.

 And this is just his ordinary state!

The second stage of opening the double blessing of the ship soul, the third stage of transforming into a giant, and even the hidden stage of controlling [Storm Power] have not been revealed yet!

 “As soon as everyone returns to the ship, set off immediately!”

“Duke Nova, the time has come. It’s time to settle the grudge between us.”

“Could it be possible that the power of storms with different attributes can be superimposed together?”

Joy murmured to himself: “Maybe… this is the real genius?”

Joy was both happy and a little frustrated.

As for the active skill [Storm Power], at first glance, it looks like an alternative “explosion” ability.

 After Shane was promoted to the third level, the gap in the highest combat power between the [Black Swan] and the [Blood Duke] was also eliminated, and he naturally no longer needed to hide in this foggy sea.

Perhaps one day in the future, the captain will really be named “great” and be known and remembered by future generations?

However, now, Joey discovered that Xia En was indeed walking on this path step by step and firmly.

 She finally obtained the transformation of her bloodline, and her strength increased by leaps and bounds. She originally thought she could catch up with Xia En’s back.

At this time, Joey, who had been guarding not far away, also noticed Xia En’s awakening.

 “Yes, Captain!”

 …

 …

Take advantage of the time to gather other crew members on the island.

Xia En was the first to return to the [Black Swan] to conduct the acceptance of the last enhancement.

Don’t forget, after setting foot on the ancestral island of the Sirens, Shane also invested all the remaining [Filth Crystals] in strengthening the hull of the ship.

 Now, it’s time to harvest.

　　【Hull: Deep fear! 】

 【Quality: Epic】

　　【Description: Under the influence of “Filth Crystal”, the hull of this ship has undergone strange changes. 】

　　【Effect 1: Fear Barrier – Your ship’s hull will make weaker enemies instinctively frightened, causing them to have terrifying hallucinations. 】

  【Moreover, according to the strength of the fear emotion, a defensive barrier can be opened to block incoming attacks. 】

 Effect 2: Fear Charge—Your hull is eager to spread fear. 】

　　【When accelerating the charge, it will continue to accumulate frightening momentum and increase the speed! 】

  【The longer the acceleration time and the faster the speed, the stronger the power and momentum of the charge! 】

　　【This is…the fear beyond death! 】

 Purple epic!

Xia En’s eyes lit up.

More than 100 [Filth Crystal] points, the rewards given are very generous, and the hull has its own name.

From the appearance, the color of the hull of the [Black Swan] has obviously become darker.

Although the lines of mithril can still be seen, the tone of the main body has become dark and dim, reminiscent of a night sky with a few stars hanging on it.

 If you look carefully.

  It seems that some chaotic illusions can be seen from this darkness.

Like tangled black shadows, like terrifying giants from the deep sea, and like countless dark and chaotic hair…

Of course, when Xia En saw such a scene, he did not feel fear, but instead felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

So much so that he couldn’t help but reach out and touch the hull.

 Hum…

The hull of the ship trembled slightly, as if responding to Sean’s touch.

 “Hmm, what a good boy.”

“However, if the enemies saw this hallucination in a naval battle, they would probably be frightened to death.”

Just thinking about that scene made Xia En feel happy.

In fact, the biggest change in the hull is not the color, but a thick and solid ram extending from the bottom of the bow!

 This is a real unexpected surprise.

 Previously, Xia En originally planned to install a collision angle on Silver Moon Island, but due to the lack of suitable materials and the construction period, he put it on hold.

 Later on, there was never a suitable opportunity to install it again.

Maybe Xiao Hei heard Xia En’s wish, or maybe it was just a coincidence. During the strengthening of the ship’s hull, a dark, thick horn-like thing grew on its own.

 Coupled with the active skill [Fear Charge], [Black Swan]’s extremely fast speed will definitely become a killer weapon in naval battles!

 Which small boat can withstand this collision?

 A ship that rampages across the seas, destroying all enemies and spreading fear!

How can that scene not make people’s hearts swell?

 Then, Xia En opened the panel to check.

  【Name: Xia En】

  【Age: 18 years old】

  【Bloodline: Sea Tribe (thin); Succubus (extremely thin)】

 【Secret Path Occupation: Storm Reaver (Level 3)】

  【Career fit: 0/100】

  【Ship: Black Swan (+1)】

 【Ship Spirit Level: LV4 (32%)】

 【Attributes: Firepower 36, Speed ​​43, Solidity 50, Mystery 40】

  【Comprehensive quality: 0.9→0.95! 】

  【Durability: 150/150】

  【Core components: Deep Terror (hull); Silent Kill (artillery); Gluttonous Monarch (steam turbine); Deep Keel…】

   【Talents: Plundering Storm, Body of Dragon, Heart of Ship…】     【Skills: Power of Storm, Sword of Judgment…】

 The completion of the strengthening of the hull not only made the [Sturdiness] attribute break through the 50 mark, but also increased the overall quality by 0.05 again.

This luxurious panel made Xia En couldn’t help but smile.

 Now, if he were to face the previous [Black Stone Dragon Turtle], he would probably be able to easily defeat him without transforming.

 Facing the tide of dragon-turned-monsters in the Blood Lake again, he would never be so embarrassed.

“But even so, my overall quality has not reached 1?”

The corner of Xia En’s mouth twitched slightly, feeling that the requirements of [Eye of the Secret Sea] seemed a bit too strict.

At this time, Xia En still had 358 newly obtained [Filthy Crystals] points, but he was not in a hurry to use them.

It’s not that he suddenly changed his temper and wanted to save them.

Rather, it was because Xia En vaguely noticed that all the core components on the ship seemed to have reached a temporary “saturation” state.

 If you continue to invest in [Filthy Crystals], your returns may be very limited.

 It didn’t take long.

 Several crew members returned to the [Black Swan].

These days, except for Joey, the temperament of Fei Ya, An and Xian Ge has changed a lot.

 The reason is that Xia En ordered them to take the initiative to fight against the dragon monsters on the island.

 This is not only to destroy monsters and complete the mission of the sirens, but also to exercise the skills and secret power of the crew.

Especially, in the future, the probability of them encountering large monsters will only become higher and higher.

 Instead of sharpening their guns in the battle until then, it is better to let the crew become “monster hunters” as soon as possible and accumulate more experience.

 There is nothing more tempering than actual combat.

Coincidentally, the strength of the monsters on this island is also within a reasonable range, neither too strong nor too weak.

 If you can’t beat him, you can at least escape.

 It is perfect to use as a whetstone.

 So, after a few days, even Xian Ge, who had always been naughty, gained a bit of a chilling temperament.

Looking at the people in front of him, Xia En nodded with satisfaction: “Very good, it seems that your efforts these days have not been in vain.”

 “But there is a bigger challenge waiting for us next!”

“Previously, the [Blood Duke] pursued us all the way, forcing us into this foggy sea area, causing the [Black Swan] to be covered with bruises.”

 “Now, it’s time to make them pay!”

Xian Ge shouted in cooperation: “Ouch! Crush them!”

Although the other crew members did not have such an exaggerated reaction, their eyes also showed perseverance.

 The previous experience of running away in a hail of shells was not pleasant at all.

They all keep this grudge in their hearts!

 After boosting the morale of the crew, Xia En waved his hand.

“start sailing!”

 …

 …

Of course, before leaving the foggy sea, Xia En did not forget to go to the island where the sirens lived to say goodbye and explain the situation of the [Ancestor Island].

Since the ancient dragon’s heart, which is the core of pollution, has been purified, even the dragon’s blood has been divided up by Xia En and others.

The dragon-turned-monsters on [The Island of Ancestors] will only become weaker year by year.

 The impact of pollution will also gradually decline.

 The rest will depend on the efforts of the Krakens themselves.

Shaen is not their nanny, so they can’t rely on him for everything, right?

 To do this, it is already very benevolent and righteous.

The Krakens also knew this, and expressed their deep gratitude to Xia En, and gave him the specialties of the island and about a hundred gold dragon coins in return.

According to Natasha, these coins were left behind by batches of captains who stayed on the Kraken Islands.

 After all, money can’t be spent here. Instead of leaving it on the island as a decoration, it’s better to give it to Xia En and the others as a favor.

 Xia En naturally accepted this.

Who would dislike having too much money?

In addition, Natasha also gave Shane a compass to help him navigate out of this foggy sea.

Before leaving, Natasha opened her moist eyes and said in a charming yet humble tone.

 “Are you really not going to stay another night?”

 “Just one night will do.”

Beside her, the twin sisters Lulu and Lily also cast similar glances.

 Sisters, mother and daughter, mermaid…

Xia En had to admit that at this moment, he was indeed tempted.

 But precisely because of this, Xia En shook his head firmly.

 —If he doesn’t leave, he’s afraid he will sink into this gentle village forever!

 “Everyone, good-bye.”

 In the resentful eyes of all the sea monsters, the [Black Swan] gradually drifted away on the sea.

But soon, they got into the sea, followed the ship, and sang a beautiful song together with their unique singing voices.

 The singing is diffused in the mist and drifts into the distance.

 The breeze is its chord, and the waves are its accent.

　　The sky is clear and pleasant to the ear.

In the chorus, Xia En felt a mysterious force acting on the Black Swan and himself.

Slightly cool and humid, but also refreshing for the body and mind.

　　【Your actions have earned the gratitude of the Sirens! 】

　　【Obtained status: Blessing of the Siren! 】

ˆ【Quality: Rare】

　　【Description: The Krakens bless you and your ship! 】

　　【When you are on the sea, your luck will be slightly improved! 】

　　【Your ship will not overturn or sink before the hull durability drops by 30! 】

 A very practical little status.

Xia En looked at the sirens around him and nodded to them.

In the future, he may forget many things, but the songs he heard in this archipelago and those regrets will probably remain in his heart for a long time.

 …

 …

 Three days later.

Following the guidance of the compass, Xia En drove the [Black Swan] gradually to the border of the foggy sea.

 On this day, he encountered the ghost ship with blue fire again.

However, compared to the panic and anxiety last time, Xia En’s mentality was much calmer this time.

 Even a little bit of curiosity and expectation.

Deep!

  【Sister, I’m here~】

Xiao Hei takes the initiative to sound the whistle to attract the other party’s attention.

This method was indeed effective. The ghost ship’s course shifted slightly, as if it was paying attention.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 by

 The sound of the sea breeze blowing the sails carries a hint of doubt.

 【Diamond Star】seems a little curious as to why this ship has changed its appearance.

Xia En wanted to get in touch with it again.

 But I don’t know if it’s because he’s aloof or shy, or because he’s busy with other things.

After a brief encounter with the Black Swan, the ghost ship turned around and headed towards the depths of the mist.

Seeing this, Xia En had no choice but to give up.

 We drove in the fog for another half day, around evening.

 Finally, the bow of the [Black Swan] pierced the fog and came to the clear and cloudless sea.

 “Finally…come out!”

Shaan took a deep breath of fresh air, with an encouraging smile on his face.

Other crew members also looked delighted and took a long breath.

 The humid environment full of fog is really unpleasant.

But it wasn’t long before we sailed out of the foggy sea.

 From the distant sea, a shrill whistle sounded.

On the sea that was dyed blood by the setting sun, a fleet headed by a blood-colored ship came menacingly, like a pack of ferocious hungry wolves!

 【Blood Duke】attacks again!
