The Hope was finished the next afternoon, but it didn't leave the Oasis Harbor until the morning of the fourth day and headed northeast for the Canglan Gorge.

The main reason is to avoid suspicion!

Every ship that came to the Oasis Harbor stayed until the end of the three days before reluctantly leaving!

And now that the Axe Gang stronghold has been destroyed on Port 51, it is easy to attract attention if he leaves early, so Xiong Jianwu still cautiously chooses to leave at dawn on the fourth day.

As for whether the Axe Gang will doubt the Hope, after two days of proof, the odds are very low!

Everyone agreed that it was two powerful GMTs who had destroyed the Axe Gang's Pier 51 stronghold, and that it was impossible for the USS Hope and the other refugee ships to hide the two GMTs.

The Axe Gang, up and down, have their hatred aimed at the Oasis Harbor and other hostile forces on it.

This has caused a storm in the entire Oasis Harbor, and no one has paid attention to the ships on the dock.

This kind of thing happened in the port, and Huang Xiaotian, Cheng Fatzi and the others did not go ashore, and stayed on the ship one by one to cultivate.

It's just that when he was practicing, Cheng Fatzi always couldn't help but pester Huang Xiaotian, his expression was shocked, ecstatic, and incredible, and his expression was very rich.

Cheng Fatzi kept knocking on the side and asking, and Huang Xiaotian naturally didn't know anything.

With the help of a large number of deep-sea beast flesh and sea spirit beads, the cultivation speed of the crew of the Hope has increased by leaps and bounds these days.

On the second day after leaving the oasis port and heading to Canglan Canyon, Xiong Jianwu successfully broke through to the early stage of the third rank sea warrior, and Huang Xiaotian also broke through to the middle stage of the first grade, and the two ears were successfully opened!

"Plop!!"

Successfully opened his ears, Huang Xiaotian plunged into the sea water and dived deep into the sea water!

At the beginning of the first product, he could only dive to about 100 meters, but now he has broken through to the middle of the first product, and the depth of the dive has deepened again, reaching 120 meters!

The usefulness of the ear opening is obvious:

1. Hearing has been greatly improved!

Second, an eardrum will grow in the ear to block the sea water and prevent the sea water from flowing into the ear socket!

3. The efficiency of the gills of fish born behind the ears to filter the sea is greatly improved!

We know that sound is a sound wave produced by the vibration of an object.

It is a wave phenomenon that is transmitted through a medium (air or solid, liquid) and can be perceived by the hearing organs of humans or animals.

In seawater, people can hear louder sounds than on land, because liquid transmission is faster than airborne transmission.

And now the opening of the ear will improve this hearing ability even more!

Enables the sea warriors to hear farther and quieter sounds!

For example, at this time, as soon as Huang Xiaotian opened his ears, he immediately felt that the voices in his ears were diverse:

the sound of the waves lapping against the Hope;

the chirping of the crew talking on deck;

In the distance, a few fish swim and lie down, and the sound of fish tails lapping the water!

Compared to before, he was like a deaf person without opening his ears!

And because you have an eardrum, the damage caused by seawater to your ears will be drastically reduced, which is also very important for sea warriors!!

Finally, one of the most important functions of opening the ear is to strengthen the gills behind the ear!

In the circle of sea warriors, there is a saying that only by opening the ear can you truly step into the door of cultivation!

This is not an exaggeration!

Huang Xiaotian kicked his feet and swam in the seawater, and a large amount of seawater flowed into his mouth, and then flowed out from the gills behind his ears.

This time in and out, Huang Xiaotian suddenly found that the efficiency of the gills behind the ears to filter the sea was actually tripled!

This shocked Huang Xiaotian, the efficiency of absorbing the power of the sea was too high!

Huang Xiaotian was very happy, swimming freely like a fish in the sea.

Cultivation is a breakthrough, which makes him go to the Canglan submarine canyon for a visit, and he has more confidence!

……

Just after Huang Xiaotian swam for a while, he suddenly saw a large black shadow appear in the blue background in front of him!

The shadow was huge, black and I don't know what it was, and it was falling weakly, slowly, towards the bottom of the sea.

Huang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously wanted to retreat and snorkel back to the sea!

In this water world full of terrifying beasts, sometimes things are dangerous when things happen!!

Huang Xiaotian also understands that now his strongest strength is only a level 1 late-stage genetic modifier, and when he encounters a more powerful deep-sea beast, it will be death!

However, just when Huang Xiaotian was about to retreat.

At this moment, a figure below him rushed out like a black arrow, quickly swimming towards the black shadow!

Huang Xiaotian's eyes widened, it was Xiong Jianwu!

At the same time, there were several figures swimming towards the shadows on the surrounding sea, other members of the salvage team.

With Xiong Jianwu and others taking the lead, Huang Xiaotian was naturally no longer afraid and followed him.

Halfway through, the other members of the salvage team saw it and all gathered in tacit understanding.

After swimming a few hundred meters, the large black shadow gradually became clear.

It turned out to be a ship, and the style of the ship should be a merchant ship!

The boat leaned to the left and was already filled with water.

The walls of the ship were full of holes, the sturdy keel was directly broken in half, and a large number of wood chips, iron filings and other items floated around like floating dust.

The ship was full of traces of the flames burned and extinguished, and it was devastated and miserable.

Huang Xiaotian glanced at it a few times, and immediately recognized that the ship was sunk after being attacked by artillery fire.

What is especially bleak is that the deck is neatly tied, with one corpse after another tied with cables!

Their eyes widened, their bodies conjured up spasmodically, desperately trying to break free from the cable, but they clearly failed.

Their faces were full of sad and painful faces frozen before they died.

Huang Xiaotian simply counted, there were hundreds of people!

In addition, there was a young female corpse in the stern, half of her body exposed outside the skylight of the stern deck, and a child in her arms.

The woman is holding the baby in one hand and reaching forward with the other, as if she is trying her best to pursue and touch something.

Maybe it's hope, maybe it's relief.

There was a bloody hole in both of their chests.

It's a terrible sight!

Judging from the corpses that were not yet decomposed, the merchant ship sank less than a few hours.

And they all died.

The crowd was silent and erected around the wreck.

Xiong Jianwu frowned, made a gesture with his right hand, and Huang Xiaotian swam into the wreck with everyone.

Huang Xiaotian swam around in this boat, and his heart became even heavier.

The warehouses of this ship are empty, there is nothing left!

Anything of value on board was looted!

Combined with the tragic death of the crew on the deck, it can be judged that this ship has suffered from pirates!

"Whew!!"

"Woooooooooo

At this moment, Huang Xiaotian and the others suddenly heard the Hope on the sea sounding short and loud sirens one after another!!

Everyone was shocked!

It's daylight now, and there are no deep-sea beasts!

Then there is only one other reason why the siren suddenly sounds!

Pirate!!

The Hope has also encountered pirates!!
