We Agreed To Set Sail and Become the Ruler of the Deep Sea? - #164 - Chapter 163: The hull has been upgraded again, [Black Swan (2)! 】

Chapter 163 The hull is upgraded again, [Black Swan (+2)! 】

　　【Kill the demon-patterned sea beast (fake)! 】

　　【Get the trophy: the corpse of the demon-patterned sea beast (pseudo)! 】

  【Quality: inferior】

  【Type: Material】

  【Description: A replica created by a certain entity. Underneath the seemingly normal flesh and blood, there is a distorted and transformed will. 】

“The purpose of their creation is probably related to the destroyed elves, right?” 】

 Several lines of text appeared in front of Xia En’s eyes, which also proved his previous conjecture.

“Sure enough, this kind of demon-patterned sea beast is abnormal…”

Xia En touched his chin and turned his head to look at the sea around him.

He has always only been able to win twice or three times, but this time, he was actually prostituted for nothing?

At this time, Vivian also came up, standing on the edge of the deck and looking at the corpse of the sea beast on the ice, and then showed a somewhat contradictory expression.

Thinking of this, Xia En’s mood suddenly became bad.

 But being able to achieve this level is shocking enough.

Xia En was a little surprised.

The remaining sea beasts seemed to realize that the enemies in front of them were invincible, so they hurriedly dived into the ice sea and quickly disappeared.

On the other hand, Xian Ge, Joey and other crew members did not show similar disgust.

So, could this be a **** from ancient times?

Thoughts in his mind were ups and downs, but Xia En still got off the boat and walked towards the body of the sea beast.

Not only did He eliminate the elves on the physical level, he also set up the [Curse of Aphasia] in an attempt to completely erase the traces of the elves’ existence.

 He was able to determine the abnormality of the magic sea beast by relying on the prompts on the panel.

 Just when Xia En was thinking about these things.

What An and Vivian have in common is that they both have a deep connection with the elves.

　　【It has an aura that makes me very uneasy, maybe it carries some kind of special pollution? 】

 In other words, this fake sea beast doesn’t even give you any experience points!

 “Well, that’s great!”

　　　　　　Master Captain, the body of this sea beast is not normal. 】

Xia En accepted these compliments calmly and was about to get off the boat to receive the trophies when he noticed that Ann and Ghost Miss Vivian’s reactions were a little strange.

 —The purpose of creating this kind of magic-patterned sea beast is to destroy the elves!

 But the sea beast itself is just a tool.

Noticing Xia En’s gaze, An hesitated for a moment, then took out a pen and paper to write.

 “Damn it, how dare you deduct my experience!”

This heartless and greedy ghost lady rarely expresses her disgust for something so quickly and clearly.

 What is really scary is the “mastermind” behind the creation and control of sea beasts.

 Xia En will not have the slightest sympathy towards his enemies.

The curse of the villagers on the ice and snow island spontaneously burning for no reason is certainly shocking, but if they dare to provoke themselves, they are undoubtedly seeking their own destruction!

Unknowingly, Mr. Captain secretly mastered such a powerful ability!

Fei Ya has long been accustomed to Xia En’s extraordinary performance, so she just sighed softly.

That was all the secret power he had worked so hard to absorb, but in the end he only set off a giant firework once, but no [Secret Sea Crystal] came in?

 “No matter which **** you are, I will remember you!”

 It was designed and plotted for no reason. No one will swallow this easily.

Not to mention, these sea beasts technically belong to the category of “food”.

 The charred corpses of sea animals were lying everywhere on the ice and on the sea, which looked very tragic.

Combining it with the description on the panel, a conjecture gradually emerged in Xia En’s mind.

 And An realized this intuitively?

 Or is it related to the race of elves?

 A raging beast crisis has been eliminated.

 “As expected of Captain Shane.”

After all, Shane’s secret power of ember is limited, and it is somewhat different from the original version.

 “It’s so disgusting, I don’t like these monsters…”

Joy couldn’t help but exclaimed, his eyes full of shock.

Xia En glanced at her in surprise.

At this time, the flames that seemed to ignite the sea had gradually extinguished, and only a few sporadic flames were still burning quietly.

Xia En said angrily to himself: “By the way, there is also the village chief of the ice and snow island…”

But soon, he was surprised to find that the prompt “[Secret Sea Crystal] Detected” did not appear on the panel.

 Looking at so many sea beast corpses, Xia En felt the anger of leaving after a burst of physical pain.

  The corpses of the surrounding sea beasts have undergone new changes.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

 After a strange sound like air leakage, it was as if their existence had broken through a certain limit.

These corpses, which were either charred or broken, suddenly began to disintegrate and fester, turning into a viscous substance like black mud, which quickly penetrated into the ice and seawater.

 Disappear in the blink of an eye.

The ice surface that was just covered with corpses soon became as tidy as ever, so clean that not even a drop of blood could be seen.

 It was as if…the previous beast tides and wars had never happened.

“…What’s this?”

Looking at this scene, Joey on the deck opened his eyes wide, and felt a creepy feeling in his heart.

The sea beast they just fought with is actually such a weird thing?

Fei Ya also frowned and looked down at the two steam cores on her body, as if listening to something.

Then he spoke: “By the gods of steam and steel, that is an absolute filth and blasphemy.”

“I think we need to use sacred steam to cleanse our body and mind to avoid leaving hidden dangers.”

Fei Ya’s proposal was quickly approved by everyone.

 They walked into the boiler room in batches and experienced the baptism of steam.

 The steam is added with calming incense, supplemented by Feiya’s unique steam magic…

Not to mention the purification effect, as far as the feeling is concerned, it is like taking a steaming sauna, which is particularly comfortable in this ice and snow environment.

 Not long.

A refreshed Xia En returned to the captain’s cabin, feeling that most of the unhappiness of not gaining experience points had dissipated.

 He calmed down and opened the panel.

　　【Ship: Black Swan (+1)(+)】

 【Materials required for a single enhancement】

  【Timber already held: 401%】

  【Metals already held: 382%】

 【Proportion of extraordinary materials: 45% (the upper limit of this enhancement is 30%)】

　　【Each attribute has exceeded 50 and can be enhanced! 】

At this time, the (+) sign after [Black Swan] has lit up, which means that the second enhancement can be carried out.

After successively looting Duke Island and Silver Moon Island, Shane’s space ring contained a large amount of extraordinary materials, including metal and wood.

 Now, choosing what materials to use for reinforcement has become a problem.

“Should we continue to improve the ship’s self-healing ability and sturdiness, or increase the efficiency of absorbing secret power?”

Xia En is rarely caught in the dilemma of making a choice.

To be honest, his previous enhancement of the ship actually had no specific direction at all, and he just let nature take its course.

　Wherever it becomes brighter.

 But now, since we have the talent of [Second Ship Soul], we should really plan it carefully.

˜Taking into account the bond with [Black Swan] and ease of use.

Even if Shane binds a second ship, he will most likely use the [Black Swan] as the main ship and the new ship as a **** ship.

 In this case, the firepower attribute of [Black Swan] is still very lacking, and it cannot reach the level of a real battleship’s main gun.

“It’s better to continue to enhance the hull’s ability to absorb secret power.” “It can not only use the hull to generate a protective cover, but also enhance the power of the magic pattern heavy cannon.”

Xia En carefully analyzed the pros and cons: “As for the ability to heal myself, with my current [high-speed regeneration] talent, it is enough for the time being.”

“Even if materials are invested, the degree of enhancement is not obvious.”

Soon, Xia En made up his mind and took out the mithril from the [Ring of Apocalypse], the dragon bones obtained in the Siren Islands, and a special wood called [Star Wood].

This kind of wood belongs to the collection of the Duke of Nova.

 Like mithril, it has the effect of absorbing secret power.

Duke Nova seemed to have originally planned to use these two materials to build a new mansion for practice, but unexpectedly, he ended up taking advantage of Xia En.

 As for other miscellaneous materials, there is no need to go into details.

 After getting ready, Xia En thought decisively in his heart.

“[Eye of the Secret Sea], add it to me!”

 “Xiao Hei, have a good meal!”

　　【Yes, Master! 】

Xiao Hei’s delighted voice sounded in his mind.

next moment.

　　咚! Boom! Boom!

The heartbeat, as low as a drum, sounded from deep within the hull of the Black Swan.

 Humbling vibrations spread to every corner of the ship.

Immediately afterwards, the invisible [Heart of the Ship] began to swallow up many magical and ordinary materials and integrate them into its own body.

at the same time.

 The crew members on the ship all noticed this strange change and looked around in surprise.

The last time the hull was strengthened, some crew members were not on board and missed the transformation process.

 At this moment, they clearly felt—

The cabins and corridors inside the [Black Swan] are all extended and become more spacious under the influence of an invisible force.

  No, it’s more like “growing!” rather than “stretching”.

Like a child growing into an adult, like a young sapling growing into a towering tree.

 The surging, unique vitality and activity are rushing through the body of [Black Swan] along with the dull heartbeat.

 In the eyes of the crew.

 The ceiling above the head is getting higher, and the walls and floors are visibly becoming stronger, with a light silver metallic luster.

 Looking more beautiful and beautiful than before.

 Vaguely, they could still hear the whispers of the things on the ship.

 Cannons, decks, hulls, masts, sails… these important components are communicating in a language that only they can understand.

Joy listened carefully and felt that they were calling Mr. Captain’s name together, as if they were singing and praising his achievements.

 This miraculous change did not last too long.

By the time the crew members came to their senses, the entire Black Swan had undergone a transformation that amazed them!

 …

 …

 In the captain’s cabin.

Xia En looked at the prompts that appeared on the panel with a smile on his lips.

　　【The main body of “Black Swan” has been strengthened successfully! 】

　　【Durability limit +50! 】

　　【Strong +8! 】

　　【Mystery +3! 】

 【Quality: Rare→Precious! 】

  【Description: Now, you can store the secret power absorbed by the ship in the magic patterns on the hull, and fire it out with the help of the “Magic Pattern Heavy Cannon”! 】

　　【Due to the effect of the extraordinary material “Ancient Dragon Skeleton”, the trait “Dragon Power” is unlocked! 】

 【Quality: Rare】

  【The increase shall not exceed 10% of the total speed. 】

 Effect 2: Star Pilotage—When you are on this ship, you can more easily observe the stars in the sky and determine the course. 】

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

 Xia Enchang exhaled a thick breath.

As [Captain’s Majesty] takes effect, the enhancement of [Black Swan] also acts on him simultaneously.

 He could clearly feel that the skin on his body had become tougher and more delicate.

This kind of “toughness” is not a hard texture like stone, but a unique toughness that can relieve the force.

If a knife blade were used to cut Xia En’s skin, not even a white mark would be left.

 “Becoming stronger again than before.”

 Xia En clenched his fists, looking quite excited.

The reason why he is willing to fight monsters and upgrade boringly again and again is because…this kind of pleasure of getting stronger is really addictive!

Although the quality of these newly unlocked effects is not high, they are all very practical.

 Made Xia En quite satisfied.

 Then, he asked in his mind: “Xiao Hei, how do you feel now?”

【Excellent! 】

Xiao Hei responded excitedly: [I have never felt such a wonderful feeling! 】

At this time, with the help of the connection with the [Black Swan], Xia En could have a complete picture of it in his mind without leaving the captain’s cabin.

 First of all, it is naturally the hull that is enlarging and growing again.

　　If you use [Blood Duke] as a reference.

 The size of the earliest [Black Swan] was only one-sixth of its size.

 After the first strengthening, it became a quarter.

 Now, the [Black Swan] is already half the size of the [Blood Duke]!

Although it is still not a spectacular ship, compared with its former self, it has completed a gorgeous transformation!

 In addition to the increase in size, the hull surface of the [Black Swan] has also undergone considerable changes.

More silver lines appear on both sides of the ship’s hull, as variable in light and shade as blood vessels.

Scattered, star-like light spots are dotted around the mithril pattern, giving it a dreamy and magnificent texture.

 Overall, the temperament of [Black Swan] is still weird and ominous.

 But just looking at the hull, it does look somewhat similar to those beautiful and exquisite [hunting boats].

Perhaps this can be considered as realizing Xiao Hei’s dream?

 …

 …

With the crisis of the sea monster tide resolved, Xia En and his party naturally have no need to rush out of this sea area.

 The next day.

 Xia En came to the ruins of [Emerald Ancient City] again.

 Only this time, he was not in a hurry to absorb the secret power of the [Ember Dolls], but continued to sneak underneath the city.

 This is to verify a conjecture in his mind.

Soon, the accumulated volcanic ash was pushed aside and the bluestone road underneath was dug. A layer of frozen, thick ice crystals was revealed in front of Xia En.

Immediately, Xia En was able to see a mysterious city different from the [Emerald Ancient City], standing under the ice!
