The eastern beach of Dilas Harbour is the only place in the entire port area that is not covered by a wharf, due to the dense reefs in the sea and the daily rise and fall of the tides, which makes it impossible for larger boats to anchor here, and the construction of a pier for small boats is obviously not worth the cost, so it is simply idle to this day.

Zhu Jue, who had stayed at the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce for half a night, came here under the leadership of the Black Swan, who told him that the Scorching Box was stored here.

"Is there a place to hide things around here? ”

Stepping on the fine soft sand on the beach, Zhu Jue held two gems in his hand and looked around at the flat sandy shore around him.

"You don't have to bury things in the sand like pirates, I know there are no safes in this world...... None of the locked boxes?"

"You're mistaken, it's not because there's no storage in the harbor, it's because it has to be in the ocean to be preserved, otherwise an accident will happen. ”

The black swan had obviously been here a few times, and he took Zhu Jue to the boat moored on the nearby shore by the rope.

"Why do you have to take a boat...... At the bottom of the sea? You're not afraid of being swept away by the sea?"

Stepping on the edge of the ship, Zhu Jue asked without looking back.

"It's not on the bottom of the sea, it's stored in a specially modified reef that doesn't need to go to sea. ”

Grabbing the oars, the black swan glanced at the back of the man in front of him, this paddling work obviously couldn't count on him.

Compared with the real world that has been ravaged by human industrial activities for centuries, the environment of the dream realm is naturally a heaven and an underground, Zhu Jue's left foot tapped the rope on the bow of the boat, with his hands behind his back, and raised his head, he undoubtedly looked at the bright galaxy in the sky, all kinds of nebulae were all over the sky curtain, stared at it for a while, and suddenly raised his hand to the surprisingly large moon on the horizon in the distance, and said in a loud voice: " No, is it reasonable that the moon in our world is so big, or is it just because I didn't care much about it before, and now I have this strange illusion?"

"The environment of the dream is indeed different from the real world, and I once had a strange rumor from the sailors here in the harbor of Dilas about the moon. ”

Probably affected by the magnificent scene in front of him, the black swan rowing the boat was much more relaxed in his speech, and there was room for gossip.

"Huh?"

"It is rumored that in the extreme west of this sea, there is a huge column of basalt, and if you cross it, you can see the ultimate waterfall at the edge of this world, and if you cross it, you can sail into the starry sky and naturally go to the moon. ”

"Hahaha~ This statement is a bit interesting, will anyone really believe it?"

Zhu Jue waved his palm as he spoke, condensing a gust of wind, blowing the sea in front of him, making the starry sky ripple.

"The development of science in this world is extremely backward, and theology dominates, so there are many people who believe this statement, and there are even many expeditions to the sea to find the location of the ultimate waterfall. ”

The boat sailed out of a distance, the black swan recalled the position, and stretched out the oars to scoop nearby, and it didn't take long to hear a dull snapping sound, and immediately poked the oars out a little, and forcibly stopped the advancing boat,

"Found it, the Scorching Box is hidden here. ”

Before Zhu Jue could say anything, the black swan had already walked from the stern to the middle of the boat, rolled up his sleeves, and put his hands into the water, Zhu Jue could only see blue electronic lights flickering one after another under the sea surface, followed by a burst of bubbles rising from the seawater, and when the latter withdrew his hand again, there was already an extra thing in his hand that was exactly the same as the storage box used by Zhu Jue when he entered the dream realm last time.

Naturally, this kind of treasure gentleman couldn't really use those boxes in this world, and he had already transported a storage box through the spatial crack.

Press the code repeatedly, and the storage box was immediately opened in the hands of the black swan, and there was only one thing stored inside.

A palm-sized reddish-brown wooden box covered with many relief patterns...... No, after Zhu Jue took it out, he found that this couldn't be said to be a box at all, but more like a wooden statue with an extra crack in the middle, but the shape was a bit like a box.

"What's in this...... Can't open it?"

Holding the upper and lower sides of the wooden box with both hands, Zhu Jue tried to open it as he asked, but despite his constant efforts, the wooden box never moved, as if it was really just a square wooden statue.

"Yes, the gentleman tried everything but violent destruction when he got it, so until now we don't know what was stored in it. ”

"Huh, you don't even know what's in it, so you store it as if it's a treasure, haven't you seen a treasure?"

Zhu Jue, who was originally full of joy and was ready to take over a treasure, widened his eyes and asked with a surprised face.

"You misunderstood, this scorching box is a treasure found by the gentleman near the Sunken City through a treasure map, although I don't know what is hidden inside, it is hidden in an underwater ruin, and the Dream Eater has mentioned it several times after learning the news, if it is an ordinary item, it will not attract their attention. "In order to find this scorching box, the gentleman personally took the expedition team to sea, and searched in the sea near the sunken city for nearly half a month, desperately struggling with the hidden danger of mental problems before discovering that special ruins, the gentleman who just got this scorching box is estimated to be in the same mood as the current Zhu Jue, but it turned out to be a box that cannot be opened.

A large amount of resources have been spent, and it must be reluctant to throw it away, and in the end, you can only collect it and find a way.

"The Sunken City?"

Zhu Jue noticed a noun in the black swan's words and asked out loud.

"It is an ancient ruin in the sea south of the harbor city of Dilas, and because of the frequent accidents of ships in the vicinity, the sailors here also call it the 'Silent City', which means that as long as you pass through that area, you must be as quiet as possible to avoid alarming some of the beings who are sleeping in the ancient ruins...... Of course, this is just as much a legend as the Ultimate Waterfall, but this ancient relic has become a landmark-like existence. ”

"I see, but this box can't be opened, so what's the difference between it and waste, you said before that the gentleman has been getting it for a while, and so far there is still no clue...... What's going on, why is it hot?"

Zhu Jue was about to ask if there was a way to open this box, but the box in his hand suddenly began to get hot, not because of the temperature of his palm, but because it heated up without warning!

"That's why it has to be placed in the seawater, and that's where its name comes from, as soon as the scorching box is out of the ocean, it will start to heat up in a few minutes, the temperature will continue to increase, and it will be a diffuse high temperature, the gentleman has done experiments, after 5 minutes of keeping it in this state, it can raise the temperature of the guest room in the inn we just stayed in by 10 degrees Celsius in just a few minutes, and it will ignite quickly, so I advise you to put it back, otherwise your hand may hurt after a while. ”

"No, I'm going to see how hot it can get. ”

Zhu Jue raised his hand and pushed back the storage box handed over by the black swan, and continued to hold the scorching box.

"Mr. President, you're taking a risk, you're ......"

The black swan was a person who had seen the power of the scorching box, so she naturally knew how dangerous Zhu Jue's behavior was, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the scene in front of her blocked all the words she wanted to say in her throat.

The scorching box that should have been red and hot had already turned into a complete ice brick in Zhu Jue's hands!

At this moment, Zhu Jue was standing at the bow of the boat, surrounded by hexagonal ice crystals, and the bow of the boat under his feet had even begun to form a layer of thin ice, and the air flow between his breaths was also like white qi swimming in front of him.

"Wait for me here!"

Turning around and stepping away from the wooden boat, the sea under his feet suddenly turned into ice, Zhu Jue frowned, ignoring the horror on the black swan's face.

Zhu Jue really felt that this so-called "scorching box" was constantly spreading a huge amount of heat energy to the outside world, and the strength was still improving, correspondingly, he was also gradually increasing his spiritual power output, fighting the scorching heat with frost.

With the passage of time, this confrontation is no longer limited to a small area where Zhu Jue is located, in the perspective of the black swan, the sea surface within ten meters in front of the wooden boat is shrouded in white fog at this moment.

The alternating waves of hot and cold air came with the sea breeze, a scene she had never seen before in the gentleman's side......

After five minutes of stalemate, Zhu Jue passed through the mist, muttered in his mouth and returned to the wooden boat, the scorching box was soaked by the scavenger in the sea water beside him, his eyes fell on the black swan, and explained: "This box is really not ordinary, it can actually heat up to such a point, the opposite method is not correct, there should be other ways to open it, put it back first, I have to go back and think about it again." ”

In the past, with Zhu Jue's character, he might be on the same page as this scorching box, but tonight's situation obviously does not allow him to do this, first, after so long, he still doesn't feel the slightest looseness of the scorching box, some are just constantly heating up, and secondly, Zhu Jue doesn't want to make too much movement, although it is late at night, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will hang out near the port.

The black swan, who was sluggish because of the change just now, heard Zhu Jue's words, and he was full of excitement and hurriedly did it.

If the fierce beast looming at the door of the gentleman's residence frightened her, then the scene just now completely made it difficult for the black swan to rise up the desire to resist.

The crate returned to its place, and the wooden boat staggered back to shore.

After another moment.

The breakwater behind the sandy beach.

Someone looked at the calm of the sea with their hands behind their backs.

He clearly felt its breath, but rushed here to find nothing.
