Chapter 552: Sea of Gold
ten days later.
On the endless sea, a giant ship with black sails is sailing.
In the captain's room, Su Lun was meditating, when suddenly a golden light flashed through the window, causing him to open his eyes.
Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, he walked to the window together with his heart, looked through the glass, and saw a golden sea wave.
"It turns out that we have already reached the Golden Sea."
Seeing the charming golden ocean outside the window, Su Lun silently calculated the voyage and guessed the current location of the Dawn Mission.
This is a piece of sea marked as "Golden Sea" on the Dragon Kingdom's sea chart. Because there is a kind of golden-yellow seaweed in the seawater, the seawater under the sunlight will reflect golden light, like a piece of liquid gold paving the ocean.
This is also a spectacular view that cannot be seen elsewhere.
The golden eyes filled the cabin, making all the furniture in the room seem to be plated with a layer of gold paint.
At this moment, thousands of lazy voices sounded in the room, "Hey, where are we?"
"Golden sea."
Su Lun responded, thought about it and added: "In about two or three days, we will arrive at the ruins of the ancient dragon country, which is also a real high-risk sea area."
These days, he and Mr. Hei from the Little Void Realm have carefully studied the classics and documents robbed by the Silver Dragon Royal Family. Compared with what Bartolo said, they have almost confirmed a lot of information about dangerous sea areas. Along the way, he was also frequently in distress.
That's right, they are about to arrive at the "Remains of the Kingdom of Ancient Dragons".
After hunting down the desk silver dragon, Su Lun and the others stopped following the magic airship castle.
Because it doesn't make much sense to follow.
The regiment had wiped out three regiments of ten thousand people before, but the next time they encountered each other, the opponent would definitely be prepared, and the battle would be very risky.
Without the external force like Silver Dragon to borrow, the current Dawn Regiment does not have the strength to face head-on with tens of thousands of corporations.
If you follow along, you won't be able to take advantage of it at all.
Therefore, it is the best choice to divert the route and avoid it.
And the purpose of those guys from the plane of the gods coming to the sea area of the Dragon Kingdom is to find [Mimir's Spring].
Su Lun knows where the spring is. He has the sea chart of the Dragon Kingdom in his hand, and Bartolo, a guide who has been to the ruins, and Tani and his mother, Friedl, who have absolute navigational assistance. member. The probability of finding the spring water is very high.
If he can successfully cut off the Hu, it can be regarded as completely destroying the plans of those people on the plane of the gods, and even better than the effect achieved by exterminating those people.
So these days, Dawn sailed all the way along the route that the Black Sam Pirates sailed thirty years ago.
When Chijo heard this, his expression remained the same.
She lazily stretched her waist, and the towering body that was not bound by the bandages on her chest also trembled. She called Su Lun and said, "Let's go to the deck to get some fresh air?"
Su Lun was slightly surprised and asked with anticipation in his eyes, "Sister Qiantiao, have you made a breakthrough?"
Since the last time he hunted and killed the silver dragon, Qianjo has been retreating.
She was such a restless person that she didn't go out all the time, she didn't expect to want to go out today.
There must be a breakthrough in the realm.
Qiantiao raised his eyebrows slightly, not knowing that he was asking about the realm of the sword god, but that description was not accurate. She also found it troublesome to explain, so she only responded: "It's still early. It's just a little insight."
"oh."
Su Lun shrugged his shoulders, and it really wasn't that easy to break through.
Thinking that he hadn't been on the deck for a few days, he said, "Let's go up and have a look."
Chijo also got up, took off his swordsman robe, walked to the mirror, picked up a bandage and wrapped it around, pursed his lips, as if he felt that it would be troublesome to corset his chest when going out.
While wrapping her corset, she looked at Su Lun who was watching with great interest in the mirror, ignored that gaze, and asked, "By the way, has Dr. Banks' 'Brontodragon Blood Potion' been successfully developed?" ?”
"not yet."
Su Lun shook his head, and said again: "But it should be soon. The laboratory said that the sample experiment is already in progress."
He knew about Qiantiaowen's genetic medicine, so he naturally wanted to integrate the breeding equipment.
The seventh-order lightning blue dragon hunted by the dawn group before has been made into a breeding outfit [Isaac's golden body of the dragon pattern - Brontosaurus].
However, because the main material is a pure-blooded blue dragon, the grade of the refined equipment is very high. Even if Qiantiao itself has a high affinity for lightning, the possibility of fusion distortion is very high.
Under normal circumstances, it might be possible for her to have a certain degree of success in the fusion when she reaches the eighth level.
But fortunately, there is a ceiling-level biological warlock in the alchemy plane in the dawn group, and there is still a shortcut for this fusion.
As long as the genetic medicine is successfully developed, it will be able to match this legendary breeding outfit like her fifth-level fusion [Hand of the Void].
This method of high breeding equipment will give the alchemist an irreplaceable advantage in combat power compared with the same level.
Hearing this, Qianjo's expression in the mirror was slightly regretful, and he muttered: "Oh, that's a pity. I still want to integrate the seventh-level colonial outfit, and see what the eighth-level overlord body is all about. Well. After fighting that silver dragon last time, I vaguely touched some deep-seated comprehension of domineering body protection. I have also got some clues in meditation these days, but my body is not strong enough to support some of my thoughts. I don’t know if it’s right .”
"."
The corners of Su Lun's eyes twitched unconsciously.
This is the feeling of touching the eighth-order hegemony?
Just like when she thought there was no threshold for comprehending the field, these words always give people a pretentious and invisible atmosphere.
But Su Lun was also full of relief and expectation.
Qiantiao's strength does not depend entirely on talent, it is also her step by step step by step.
But Qianjo himself didn't seem to feel much about her exaggerated progress, and his expression was still calm. She had wrapped her tube top and hung her sword around her waist again.
The two went out.
At this moment, the deck of the Eternal Night was full of excitement.
"Wow, I got three more golden shells! Haha, I'm the 'first lucky star' in the group!"
"You don't count, Miss Nineteen is our ship's 'first lucky angel'!"
"Oh, of course, how can I compare with Captain Nineteen?"
"."
This golden sea not only has golden seaweed, but also many shellfish that feed on seaweed, which makes them have a very beautiful golden shell.
Although the gold content is not high, those golden shells and conch are natural works of art. If you really want to take Luying Mafa back to auction, it may not be cheaper than real gold.
The crew members were also enthusiastically salvaged in the sea, which was considered a small pleasure in the voyage.
As soon as Su Lun and Qianjo came up, they heard the voice of the first navigator, Shitani, from the loudspeaker on the ship: "Everyone, be careful, we have crossed the Giant Elephant Island, and the Titan Sea is ahead. There may be many large deep-sea giant monsters in the sea."
Everyone looked back and saw Tani in the cockpit.
However, instead of making the atmosphere on the ship tense, his warning made the crew laugh at him.
"Hahaha, are you going to improve the food again tonight? Captain Tani, it's up to you, find those sea monsters, and leave the rest to our 'whaling team'!"
"Oh, our 'artillery team' has just launched new equipment, and we just need a big monster to test our firepower. If there are monsters without eyes that attack the ship, it's up to us."
"You can't let your artillery regiment do it! The prey that the artillery shot last time smelled like gunpowder, it's too wasteful."
"Don't worry about eating, big guys. The partner in the lab said that they need samples, and it's best to catch a few live ones!"
"."
Everyone was laughing and joking, and the boat was full of laughter.
Fighting again and again over the years has also made the cohesion of the Liming regiment stronger and stronger, and the cooperation of the regiment members has become more and more tacit. For them who had already hunted two pure-blood dragons, it seemed that everything was not so difficult.
So much so that even if they encounter a powerful sea monster now, everyone will only think of a few rare ingredients that have not been eaten for dinner, rather than risks.
Everyone has an inexplicable confidence that when they encounter difficulties, they will definitely be able to solve them if they unite as one.
The fresh sea breeze brushed their cheeks, and both of them felt refreshed.
Su Lun and Qianjo walked to the deck, just in time to listen to the companions talking about what to hunt for food tonight.
At this time, Lolota, who was practicing chopping the wind on the mast, saw Su Lun and the two who came out with sharp eyes, their expressions instantly cheered up, and they landed on the deck lightly.
She seemed to want to scare Su Lun and the others, but both of them were expressionless.
Lolotta's boring expression that didn't scare anyone for a moment suddenly became full of anticipation again, a quirk flashed in those pure eyes, and he tried around the bush: "Teacher, you have retreated for so long, they all said that you To break through the sword master and advance to the sword god."
Hearing this, Qiantiao knocked her on the forehead with the scabbard angrily, "It's too early! You girl didn't understand your sword intent well, and you're making fun of her all day long."
"Oh, teacher, why are you hitting me on the head again?"
Lolota rubbed his forehead, pouted and complained: "Mr. Hei said, always knocking people on the head will become stupid."
As she said that, she glanced at Su Lun beside her out of the corner of her eye, revealing a playful smirk.
Su Lun couldn't help but laugh too.
At this time of the conversation, the crew on the deck watched the two walk up to the deck, and greeted each of them warmly: "Mr. Su Lun, Miss Qiantiao!"
Everyone gathered around, chatting in one go, and of course the one who asked the most was whether Qiantiao had advanced to the sword god.
Qiantiao's explanation is also a little helpless, it is difficult to describe above the holy realm, and the so-called sword god realm is too general. She has indeed touched the threshold of the rule of one-point chopping, but that little bit of comprehension cannot be described in words.
Coincidentally, probably because the noise was too loud, the monsters on the bottom of the sea were disturbed.
At this moment, there was a "crash" sound of waves, and a tentacle suddenly appeared on the distant sea.
Someone excitedly yelled: "Wow, I just said the sea monster, and the sea monster came to the door!"
Everyone looked at it and thought it was a big eel, and they were already thinking about whether it should be charcoal grilled or sashimi.
But looking again, countless tentacles emerged from the sea.
It turned out that it was not an eel, but an ugly monster with tentacles like a sarcoma. It has the iconic multi-mouthed sawtooth of hell creatures, and giant compound eyes that make people's scalp tingle.
Compared with its bloated sarcoid body, the tentacles are very slender, like red threads.
No matter how you look at it, it is not a normal creature, but a deformed irregular monster.
Su Lun looked at it and frowned, and identified it as [Distorted Hell Titan Ghost Snake (Tier Six Silver)].
The crew members who had thought about hunting sea beasts for food before became ugly.
"Ah, this siren is so ugly. Can this thing be eaten?"
"Is there any source of distortion near here? Otherwise, how could there be aberrations? It looks like a legendary hell creature."
"Yes. Such a huge monster is polluted and deformed. The source of the pollution must not be simple. We have to be careful."
"."
Many members of the Dawn Regiment came from Old Lingdon, and they were all too familiar with distortions.
Seeing the grotesque monster in front of him, he immediately thought of the source of the distortion.
Su Lun also frowned, and this question was the first thing that came to his mind.
He wasn't surprised that there would be hellish aberrations in the sea.
Because Bartolo said before, there are a large number of hell creatures and abnormal creatures deep in the ruins of the ancient dragon country.
However, that biological zone is hundreds of nautical miles further west, how could it appear near the Golden Sea?
Without thinking too much, the tentacle monster's tentacles danced like seaweed, and it looked like it was trying to trouble the dawn group.
Because it has the blood of the Titan, this monster is very large, and there are many tentacles underwater.
Ripples rolled on the surface of the sea, and it seemed that tentacles were probing over.
Liming Group, who had been enthusiastic about hunting sea monsters and eating meat before, looked disgusted, and no one actively wanted to go to sea. On the contrary, the artilleryman was ready, ready to shoot the ugly monster twice.
But at this moment, Qianjo muttered, "It's ugly!"
As soon as the words fell, a domineering sword aura shot up from the deck.
Hearing the sharp clang of the long sword unsheathed, there seemed to be a flash of coldness in front of his eyes.
But if you look closely, you can only see her slowing down of sheathing the knife.
But at this moment, a gust of air wave hit lately, blowing the robes of everyone on the deck.
Su Lun's pupils keenly caught her movements, and he muttered in his heart: "Sure enough, it has become stronger again."
Looking at it again, the sword energy, like a crack in space, quickly swept across the deck, heading straight for the monster.
If you look at it from the side, you can see that it is a ray of crescent sword energy. After the sword qi left the sword edge, it became bigger and bigger, and finally became tens of meters long.
A few hundred meters away, the sea monster was wreaking havoc before it even came, and a line of blood appeared on the compound eyes on its head. Then with a "swish", blood splashed everywhere, and half of the head slid down, revealing a smooth cut wound.
Cut in two, scarlet exploded!
Seeing this, everyone on the deck was stunned for a moment, and then burst into fierce cheers.
"Wow, Miss Qianjo is so amazing!"
"This sword is too terrifying. Killed such a powerful monster without storing energy?"
"My God, sister Qiantiao, is this the realm above the sword master?"
"."
The crowd excitedly discussed.
Even Su Lun felt very strong.
With just a random slash, a sixth-level silver-level monster was killed, which is really amazing.
At least the previous Qiantiao would never be so easy.
And Su Lun saw something else, the sword energy was not just a physical slash, it seemed to be some kind of higher-level destruction.
Otherwise, the energy fluctuations visually detected would not be enough to cut such a huge monster into two pieces.
He hadn't drawn his sword for so many days, and he was panicking about Qianjo's personality, so he just cut him casually. But looking at the results, she frowned slightly, as if she was not too satisfied, as if something was missing.
The monster was killed before it had time to show its viciousness, and everyone in the Dawn Group was no longer excited to watch.
Some on board took a small boat to the sea to salvage some body fragments.
You can't eat it, but you can also disassemble the cursed material, and you can leave some samples for the biological laboratory.
Su Lun and Qianjo were watching everyone busy on the side of the ship. At this moment, they heard light footsteps.
Su Lun looked back and greeted with a smile: "Senior Bartolo, you are here."
Bartolo nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Qianjo, whom he hadn't seen for ten days, and praised again: "Your sword just now is really good. Breaking the law with your mind, this road is very suitable for your swordsmanship." .”
Qianjo listened with respect, "Thank you for your previous guidance, senior."
She also truthfully expressed her doubts about this kendo senior who pointed her out many times, and asked for advice: "Senior, when I slashed out with that sword just now, there seemed to be some resistance that prevented me from cutting it off. Otherwise, that sword The power of the sword should be greater."
Bartolo smiled complicatedly and explained: "It's the backlash of the laws of heaven and earth. When your power reaches a certain limit, you will find that the laws start to reject you, because you have gradually glimpsed the true meaning of 'them'. Originally, you It's impossible to understand this level, and you can't touch it, so it's normal for you to be confused. After you advance to the eighth level, you will understand."
Qiantiao didn't know if he understood or not, he looked thoughtful.
Anyway, Su Lun next to him didn't understand.
But I also understand that Qiantiao's sword has the power of law beyond the rank itself.
However, after the two of them finished chatting about the way of swordsmanship, Su Lun also pointed to the corpse of the deformed monster in the distance and asked, "Senior, I remember you said that the monsters from hell should be further west. Is it normal for them to appear here?"
The sea area of the Dragon Kingdom is an extremely dangerous area, and Su Lun dare not be careless at all.
Whenever there is an abnormality, it is best to figure it out.
"That's what's weird about me, too."
Hearing this, Bartolo also had a look of doubt on his face, and he pondered for a moment before responding: "When we came here more than 20 years ago, we would only encounter hell-like abnormal creatures at least a few hundred nautical miles to the west. And This boundary is very clear, because the hellish aberrations only live in places where the atmosphere of hell is strong, and the higher the level, the more so. That range is a big circle, and it is far less than this golden sea."
Su Lun understood immediately after hearing this, and asked back, "You mean, the atmosphere of hell has spread over?"
Bartolo nodded, and said: "This is the only possibility. Probably the hell volcano erupted deep in the ruins again, which caused the atmosphere of hell to spread, and the monster's territory expanded to the outside."
After a pause, there was a look of solemnity in his eyes, and he added: "That is to say. From now on, we have actually entered the most dangerous zone."
"Um."
As Su Lun listened, his eyes became slightly serious.
Although they took the same route as the Black Sam regiment, nearly thirty years have passed, and the environment in many sea areas has changed. It's like this aberration monster that appeared on the periphery.
In other words, even if they go in the same way, they will encounter many unpredictable dangers.
From now on, the real test begins.
