Chapter 1086: Wreckage
…………
"You killed a seventh-order creature."
"Brilliant victory! You have gained 40,000 XP! ”
…………
Rode, who was above the sea, finally got the information he wanted from the system log after waiting for a while.
Under the strong erosion of the cloud of death, even if the sea monster escaped back to the depths of the ocean, it was still unable to expel a large amount of the cloud of death from its body.
The intense erosion of the cloud of death destroyed the fragile interior of the sea monster's body, giving it a fatal final blow.
Due to the extremely tenacious vitality of the sea monster, even with the existence of a rich cloud of death, Rhodes waited for a long time before confirming the news that it was dead from the system log.
After confirming the increase in experience points, Rhodes finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Defeating such a powerful creature doesn't give Rhodes much of an experience boost, only the level of regular legendary creatures, and not even the experience points provided by Rhodes' men from the main plane during his battle with the Kraken.
Of course, before Rhodes chose to fight the sea monster, he also expected this, and did not regard the experience points gained from it as his main gain.
As a necromancer with god-level spiritualism, Rod's biggest gain from this trip is naturally the remains of the sea monster, no matter what way, as long as it is transformed into an undead creature, Rod's existing strength will be greatly improved, which is why Rhodes will take the initiative to fight with the sea monster after discovering its existence.
However, what made Rhodes feel a little tricky was that due to the sea monster's escape, its body was most likely lowered to the deepest part of the ocean, and Rhodes had no way to transform it.
To do this, Rhodes had to find a way to solve this.
Due to the staggering pressure in the depths of the ocean, Rhodes was unable to send his undead creatures to scoop up the sea monster.
Even if there is no pressure, according to the weight of the sea monster itself, it needs to send an extremely large number of undead creatures to have a chance to do this, similar to those tiny bone fish kings, even if Rhodes sends them all out, with their strength, they can't do this.
In Rhodes's opinion, he may be able to transform a large number of creatures that originally lived in the deep sea into a walking corpse-like existence, so as to obtain undead creatures that can reach the bottom of the sea, so that they can pick up the corpse of the sea monster.
However, the time it would take to do so was likely to exceed Rhodes' expectations, especially after a battle and the lack of a Bone Fish King to explore the water elemental plane, over-transforming this type of undead creature would inevitably slow down the time to return to the main plane.
Water elemental people who are born in line with the ocean can ignore the pressure of the depths of the ocean and dive freely to the bottom of the sea, but they will still face the problem of undead creatures, the number is small, and it is impossible to fish up the sea monsters, and the number is too large, and it is difficult for Rhodes to control them, not to mention the problem of language barriers.
At this time, the only remaining way is for Rhodes to overcome environmental constraints and personally go to the depths of the ocean to transform.
In Rod's mind, players in his previous life had worked out several feasible ways to dive into the depths of the ocean in order to explore the information of the fourth expansion.
The simplest of these is to use the Hercules Aegis, which has been improved by a legendary mage and can move with the user, to directly envelop the surrounding space and forcibly resist the pressure of the depths of the ocean.
It is said that the legendary mage of Bracada, when he first arrived at the water elemental plane, used this method to gradually rise from the depths of the ocean to the land.
Spells have the effect of allowing Legendary Mages to break through the limits of the sky and fly freely in the air, allowing Legendary Mages to walk on water, but not to the depths of the ocean.
In addition to this, if you want to go to the depths of the ocean, you must use the power of treasures, such as the "Heart of the Ocean", a precious gem with magical powers, which is said to be stored in the land of dragons.
Among the many treasures, the only one that allows users to freely dive into any area of the water in defiance of the pressure of the deep sea is the ocean-related combination artifact, the "Ocean Hat".
This combination artifact exclusive to the ocean, for the user, is not a direct increase in combat ability, and the effect is not as intuitive as other artifacts, but there is no doubt that above the ocean, this combination artifact will show its unique ability.
In addition, using the Elemental Core of the Legendary Water Elemental Lord, it is also possible to create items that can be used once to dive into the deep sea, but only with the assistance of the Alchemist.
For Rhodes at this time, these treasures that can be used to dive into the deep sea are undoubtedly too far away from him, relying on the current means alone, Rod cannot obtain these unique treasures at all, and there is no way to dive into the deep sea.
After thinking about it to no avail, Rhodes could only shake his head and temporarily gave up the idea of transforming the corpse of the sea monster.
Even if he could transform the sea monster now, Rhodes was also very hesitant in his heart.
Transforming the sea monster into an undead creature like the Corpse Witch King undoubtedly wasted the body of this excellent creature, and transforming it into a normal seventh-order undead creature, Rhodes was undoubtedly in a dilemma due to his lack of spiritual attributes, and he had no way to control it.
Fortunately, the body of the sea monster had sunk to the bottom of the sea at this time, and Rhodes did not need to continue to hesitate for this, he only needed to think of a way to transform it before other deep-sea creatures ate it all.
Without thinking about the sea monster again, Rhodes focused his attention on the pile of driftwood that the Bone Fish King had raised on top of it.
When Rhodes noticed the pile of driftwood that it spit out from the belly of the sea monster, Rod secretly noticed it, and under his order, the Bone Fish King did not let the driftwood drift away, but gathered it together and waited for Rhodes to check it.
Approaching the driftwood on the surface of the sea, Rhodes was able to take a closer look this time.
Among the broken wood, there are some planks that are still flat and float up and down, and there are cracks in the joints, and masts with broken canvas are tied. Through the traces of processing, Rhodes was able to determine that the wreckage in front of him must have belonged to a former ship.
The amount of driftwood, much more than Rhodes expected, occupied a full area of the sea, which was no longer the level of an ordinary fishing boat, not to mention the damage suffered by the ship itself when it was swallowed by a sea monster.
Compared with the sea monster itself, Rhodes at this time had a more important gain, that is, the existence of the shipwreck.
A burst of excitement appeared in Rhodes's heart, and the appearance of the shipwreck also made him realize that there might be land nearby, which was Rhodes' hope to return to the main plane.
