Chapter 25: A New Choice
In fact, there is no need for Xiao Ou's reminder, Ethan has already noticed that when he picked up this thing, the entire island began to shake wildly, the intensity of the vibration was far greater than any previous time, and the duration was much longer, and if he didn't realize that the situation was wrong, Ethan had to check if there was something wrong with his brain.
Changing into a magic suit, Ethan tucked Xiao Ou into his arms, and the flame wings quickly deployed, and a strong air current instantly erupted and sent him high into the air.
With the current situation of this island, and considering his location, rushing from the ground to the sea is simply killing himself, he doesn't want to play a temple escape live-action experience version, flying away from the sky is the most correct and safest choice.
It is with this hole card that Ethan agrees to stay on the island and keep digging, otherwise he will not stay for so long longer than he planned again and again, with his priority of saving his life in everything.
With the wings of flames, Ethan circled in the air, and found that the whole island was collapsing very quickly, and he was only going around in the sky, and the islands below had become fragmented, and some places had sunk below the sea level.
"It is safest to leave the heavens. ”
One last glance at the collapsing island, Ethan went straight back to the Aurora, lifted anchor and sailed away.
The sinking of the island will set off huge waves, although the Goddess of Dawn is a heavy sail warship, but it is still nothing in front of the power of nature, not to mention that Ethan has no reason to stay here, and it is very normal to drive the ship away.
He didn't look back at the island, and after locking the steering wheel with speed, he sat down directly in front of the operator's station and carefully examined the spherical object he had brought back.
It is not accurate to say that it is spherical, but it is a little flat and irregular sphere similar to an ellipse, and after placing it on the deck, it does not roll due to the turbulence of the ship, and it is very stable in front of Ethan.
"What is this?"
Xiao Ou was circling around this thing, and when he heard Ethan's words, he didn't realize that he was asking himself, and he didn't understand until Ethan grabbed his tail.
Unfortunately, the little thing just shook its head, saying that he didn't know what it was, but instinctively thought it was a good thing, which made Ethan speechless.
"Well, it should be a baby. ”
Faintly, Ethan can feel the energy fluctuations from this thing, but his own detection glasses can't detect it at all, but unfortunately he doesn't dare to use his spiritual power to conduct a detailed investigation now, with energy fluctuations to prove that this thing contains energy, who knows what kind of energy it is?
For safety reasons, Ethan kept it in a few boxes that he had specially made. This thing is specially used to place items such as magic stones containing energy, and it is the hint he got after getting the death magic stone last time, and he specially prepared several boxes to store such items.
Ethan thought about it and put it in his workshop instead of putting it in the warehouse. He has a number of magical traps in the workshop, and if necessary, he can remotely destroy the workshop and everything in the workshop, which is much safer to keep here than in the warehouse.
With the things laid away, Ethan returned to the deck, and Xiao Ou was spinning back and forth on the deck, but it didn't take long for him to lie in a corner and not move.
Ethan thought something was wrong with it, but he walked over and asked, and got a 'dizzy' reply, only to know that the little thing was seasick.
"I'm dizzy and dizzy, and I'm used to it. ”
Ethan put it in his bedroom and let it rest in it first, and he piloted the Goddess of Dawn in front of the console, continuing to sail through the waves while thinking about his next steps.
A considerable period of time has passed, and the most fragile period of spiritual power breeding magic should have passed, and then as long as you are careful, it will no longer affect your normal actions.
The space-time energy stored in his left hand has not been consumed during this time, because of the problem of mental power, his control of space-time energy has been reduced, so even if there is no new space-time energy replenishment now, he can directly launch the space-time shuttle magic array and go to other planes.
It's a choice.
Or continue not to start the shuttle, first bring this ship of supplies back to the central island, and then carry out some maintenance on your Dawning Goddess, and wait until the next voyage, it is estimated that your mental condition will be more stable, at that time there is no longer any taboo, and then launch a time and space shuttle to explore a new plane.
This is the second option.
In contrast, the latter is more secure, while the former is uncertain about safety.
For Ethan, every time travel is an unknown adventure, and the safest situation is of course the period when his combat power can be fully utilized.
"Let's continue sailing and see how I'm doing along the way. ”
Ethan's sanity told him that he should choose the second option, which would be safer. It's just that in the bottom of my heart, I still want to travel to the next plane, explore new worlds, and obtain new treasures.
Only in this way will he be able to achieve his goal earlier, becoming a powerful and long-lived being.
At that time, he was free to roam the world and do everything he wanted to do, instead of being busy. I haven't even touched my sister's hand in my life, and there should be no worse one among the traversers.
In the days that followed, Ethan continued to do research on magic stones, and at the same time carefully checked his mental power every day.
The situation is even better than Ethan expected, Ethan's spiritual power has completed the initial brewing of magic power, although the land is still 'barren', but it has already shown some vitality, which means that the magic power has 'moistened the whole land', and then it will overflow, that is, form a spring that can continuously release magic power.
As long as Ethan doesn't die by himself and introduces a large amount of energy from the outside into his own spiritual world, the normal use of spiritual power will no longer be polluted. It can be said that Ethan has recovered his peak combat power at this time.
At this time, Ethan had just escaped from the area with large waves due to his proximity to the stormy sea, and returned to an area where the sea conditions were much normaler.
After this period of sailing, Xiao Ou has also adapted to the life on the ship, jumping around on the ship all day, and he can't find it until he has time to eat.
However, the addition of such a small thing on the ship seems to add a lot of vitality, and sometimes Ethan will no longer feel lonely, not to mention that this little thing can communicate with Ethan, which is much better than raising ordinary animals.
At the end of the day's voyage again, Ethan found that this time the little thing did not eat the fire attribute magic stone, but took a water attribute magic stone from Ethan's workshop to eat.
"You can eat water attribute, and you won't have a problem?"
Xiao Ou looked at Ethan with a puzzled expression, obviously asking him, 'What could go wrong?'
Ethan didn't answer, quietly watched Xiao Ou eat a water-attribute magic stone, and then yawned with satisfaction and went straight down with a happy face.
"So you only ate fire attribute magic stones to keep warm?"
As Ethan's spiritual power can be used passively again, his perception has returned to the previous level again, and even stronger, at this time he noticed that Xiao Ou was a little different from before, and after carefully recalling and comparing, he found that the little guy only ate fire attribute magic stones before, because the environment of the island was too cold, and he had to use the magic power provided by fire attribute magic stones to maintain the temperature of his body.
To put it simply...... It's about keeping warm.
After leaving that area, the temperature gradually rose, and there was no longer a need to keep warm, Xiao Ou's menu naturally became a lot more miscellaneous, and he no longer stared at the fire attribute magic stone and ate endlessly.
In the same way, not relying on energy to maintain body temperature also means that energy consumption is greatly reduced, and the amount of food eaten by the little one is significantly reduced, and one magic stone at a time twice a day is enough to meet the demand. This seemed to mean that Ethan didn't have to worry about not having enough magic stones on his ship to eat.
After Ethan tidied up, he went back to his workshop and took out the spherical object he had gotten earlier, he didn't dare to use his mental power indiscriminately before, and now he could study what this thing was.
After using mental power to check, it didn't take long for Ethan to have an answer.
"Magic stones?"
Ethan shook his head, there was a big difference in structure, and the energy contained in it was also very different, and the energy contained in this piece even exceeded the death magic stone that he had obtained before. What shocked Ethan even more was that the energy in this thing didn't seem to decrease?
Every time he sensed that a certain amount of energy had escaped from this thing, and the total amount had decreased, he would perceive that this thing would release a fluctuation that seemed to be nothing, and then the energy contained in it returned to its previous level.
"If my observations are not wrong, does it mean that this is a renewable energy source that can be used almost indefinitely?"
Remembering that Xiao Ou had asked himself to dig up this thing before, and then thinking that the assassin had accepted the commission to find a creature like Xiao Ou, the answer suddenly became clear.
"So, the real purpose of looking for Xiao Ou is not the real purpose, the real purpose is that Xiao Ou, a special creature, can find this kind of energy that is stronger and more powerful than magic stones?"
The truth should be that if you get unlimited energy for sailing on the sea, the benefits are simply too great to count, and even the ship that Ethan envisioned needs a high-quality energy core to achieve.
Previously, he had considered the core-level magic stone and Tony's ark reactor, but he found that he had one more choice.
