As the evening approaches, the setting sun turns the sea red, and the red pillars of light change with the ripples, gradually ushering in darkness beneath the surface of the water.

Inside the magic yacht.

As the captain of the ship, Headway sat in the control room, staring at the somewhat nervous female mermaid Vipa.

Vipa has a fishtail and is difficult to move after leaving the seawater environment, and her body is particularly prone to dehydration.

When she moves on land, she needs to use merman magic to do so.

A film of crystal clear water acts as a barrier separating her from the dry air, locking in the moisture in her body.

Her fishtail, with the help of the merman's magic, transforms into two human legs covered in fine scales.

The dress condensed with magic protects her body well, and the whole dress is woven from shells, corals, aquatic plants and other things.

Due to the language barrier, after Hedway led Vipa onto the ship, he could only barely express himself through gestures and movements.

He hurriedly tidied up a guest room and planned to house Vipa, completely forgetting that the merman used seashells as a house...

It wasn't until he had tidied up his room, stepped into the control room, and saw Vipa sitting among the tall white seashells that he realized he had done something more.

"Uh, do you want something to eat? Belch... I mean, ahhh Headway gestured as he shoved something into his mouth.

Vipa looked at him in confusion, trying to understand what he meant.

Just as the two were chatting awkwardly, the sound of the hatch opening and closing came from the stern.

Headway sensed the movement in the stern of the boat, and said with a long sigh of relief:

"Thank goodness Jarvis is finally back."

Relieved, Headway stood up and walked to the aft water ballast.

Looking at the skeleton that came out of the cabin, Headway couldn't wait to ask:

"How? Is that giant sea serpent dead? Have you ever had any trouble? ”

Li Nuo activated the cleansing circle on the magic robe, wiped off the moisture inside and outside his body, released the "breath of the dead", and changed back into a human form:

"All the best, Headway. I killed the sea serpent. I scoured its lair and spent a little more time in the Blue Hole, picking up some useful dragon collections. ”

"That's good, if only you didn't get into trouble... It's unbelievable that you actually cleaned up that sea serpent. Headway couldn't stop admiring.

Li Nuo looked around the big man in front of him and looked at Vipa, who had entered the corridor in a floating seashell.

He untied a magic pouch and handed it to Vipa with the "wizard's hand", saying:

"Once again, I feel sorry for what happened to your clan. I found many seashells in the nest of sea snakes. Time is limited, so I can only pick out some relatively complete seashells to bring back. ”

The magic pocket falls into the hands of Vepa.

With tears in her eyes, she opened her pocket, looked inside, and sobbed and said:

"Woo... Yahhhh Babble..."

The seashell is a magical item that will accompany the merman for a lifetime.

It is the Shark's dwelling, "magic pocket", and vehicle.

The "Magic Pocket" cannot be placed in the Magic Pocket, which will cause a catastrophe of spatial chaos in the Magic Pocket, which is manifested in the Magic Pocket exploding with a bang.

Li Nuo was able to put the seashells into the magic pocket, which means that these seashells have lost the attributes of the "magic pocket".

They have gone from being magical creations of the mermaid clan to ordinary shells.

The disappearance of magical properties echoes the death of its owner.

At the moment, these seashells that Li Nuo brought to Vipa have no energy fluctuations.

In Vipa's eyes, they were about the same as the corpses of their people.

When Li Nuo was collecting the seashells, he deliberately used deconstruction to confirm the ownership and brought back the seashells of Weipa's parents.

Vipa took out her parents' seashells from her magic pouch and clutched them tightly to her chest, muttering a eulogy for the deceased from the mermaids.

Li Nuo and Headway remained quiet, glanced at each other, and walked lightly into the guest room next to them to talk.

Headway said in a worried tone:

"How are you going to settle her, Jarvis? Our trip is for the dragon collection in the Blue Cave. If there are female sharks, our work will inevitably be hindered. ”

Li Nuo had considered this issue when he was collecting dragon collections in the Blue Cave.

He already had a definite plan in mind:

"Headway, I've collected enough dragons."

Li Nuo patted the bulging magic pocket on his waist:

"You see, my magic pockets are about to burst. Our plans for the trip have been agreed in advance. ”

"Really?! You're moving so fast?! Headway's eyes widened as he stared at Leno's magic pocket.

"yes. Time is money, my friend. Leno smiled.

When Headway wasn't around, he could throw off his arms and hard.

As long as the spirit of rock and soil performs the "rock building technique" and seals the tunnels with magic rocks, he can drive the undercurrent into other tunnels, and he himself can safely pick up the dragon collections in the cave.

With deconstruction in hand, it's not too easy to do.

Of course, a little bit of wisdom brought about by quality education is essential.

Li Nuo used the grouping, labeling, and comparison methods to manually divide the sediments into several piles, and used deconstruction to quickly distinguish the value of each pile of sediments, and then locked the sediments with higher value and listed them as the highest priority collection objects.

This set of scientifically guided practical plans greatly reduced the time it took for Li Nuo to collect the dragon collection.

At the moment when Li Nuo stood in front of Headway, the "Energy Reserve" on his panel had reached an astonishing level!

15,230,000 energy reserves!

Li Nuo also used violent means to destroy some heavy and huge dragon collections, successfully triggered passive deconstruction, and got nearly 1 million energy points reward.

His "Archaeology of the Dragon Age" has also been upgraded to level 11.

…

[Energy] 1,620,000 points/70 (40+30)

[Energy Reserve] 15.23 million points

[Soul Strength] 10445 points

…

This is the harvest of his trip.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a wave of fat.

However, Li Nuo did not get too excited.

He knew that such a way of getting rich was difficult to repeat.

Here's why:

Like the Blue Hole, there are not many submarine caves with a large number of fragmentary dragon collections, and the homogenization of these dragon collections is relatively serious.

- Most of the dragon collections that sank to the bottom of the sea did not converge into the cave, but sank on the seabed, covered by layers of sand and rock. And those dragon collections that will be swept into the cave by the current have great similarities in appearance, density, and weight, and meet the conditions of being swept by the current, which will converge into the cave under the action of the current and the topography of the seabed.

After Li Nuo deconstructs all the dragon collections in the Blue Hole, he will get a lot of standardized panel information.

On top of this, when he deconstructs the dragon collections of other submarine caverns, the deconstruction cost will be drastically reduced due to the standardized panel information.

Correspondingly, he uses passive deconstruction to obtain energy rewards that will also shrink significantly.

From a long-term perspective, Li Nuo has to find a new way to obtain the energy value on the panel before it is spent, so as to ensure that his energy value continues to flow.

Based on this consideration, Li Nuo decided to officially put the matter of "passively deconstructing the sea area with the "Deep Sea Scales" meditation method" on the agenda.

When I return to the Suman Islands, I will start working on this.

Before that, Li Nuo still has some things to do.

For example, settle the female mermaid Vipa.

"I have a plan, Headway. You might as well listen to it. Li Nuo said calmly:

"We'll send Vipa to her merman settlement and return to the Suman Islands."

Headway scratched his beard and asked:

"Aren't you going to continue exploring the Blue Hole? You've spent tens of thousands of gold coins to make this trip. Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you into the Blue Grotto again and search for the dragon collections inside? ”

Li Nuo shook his head decisively and rejected the suggestion to return to the Blue Hole.

Are you kidding...

He's almost emptying the blue hole of its valuables.

If you let Headway know that the undersea cave on which he depends for his survival is directly lifted to the bottom by Li Nuo, then it is estimated that Headway will regret it and crush his teeth.

15,230,000 energy reserves, which cost about 2 million gold to buy.

Li Nuo only spent less than 80,000 yuan to prostitute so much energy reserves.

He did make a fortune, but Headway also lost money.

Certainly, definitely, he couldn't let Headway know about the Blue Hole being emptied by him.

At least not yet.

"No, no, no, Headway. Let's return to the Suman Islands after sending the female mermaids. Li Nuo said.

"Okay, okay. You're the employer on this trip, and I'll listen to you. Headway nodded.

"That's good. I'll ask the mermaid where her settlement is. Li Nuo walked out of the guest room, into the hallway, and took out a pen and paper from his magic pocket.

Writing down a few lines and putting them in front of the female mermaid who was staring at the seashell in a daze, Li Nuo threw the question to the other party.

The female merman's eyes slowly focused from the state of distraction, looked at the notepad in front of her, and sniffed aggrievedly:

"Suck it~ Ya Ya Ya ... Yikes..."

"Huh?" Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, "You don't know where your settlement is?" ”

Li Nuo's words did not need to be translated with the help of words, and his tone and expression had fully expressed his astonishment.

The female mermaid Weipa used a slightly immature voice to tell the cause and effect:

"Ahh

Li Nuo shook his head after hearing this, and secretly said that giving birth to a baby halfway was trouble...

The female mermaid in front of her was born by her parents on the way to the Mossy Blue Cave after their parents set out from the settlement.

When she was born, her parents' party had already left the settlement.

Her parents gave her a general description of the settlement and told her how to get in and out of it.

This information wasn't enough to help her pinpoint the settlement, let alone make a road map from the Diffuse Blue Hole to the settlement.

At present, there are three important clues:

First, the Vivimi clan where Vipa is located comes from a large merman tribe called the "Deep River Tribe".

Second, the Deep River tribe is located in the sea far northwest of the Suman Islands.

Third, the westernmost side of the Deep River Tribe is where the settlement of the Vivimi clan is located.

If these three clues are given to Selena, she should have a way to send someone to probe the settlement of the Vivimi Clan.

Li Nuo pondered for a while, and discussed it with Headway and Weipa for a while.

The three of them finally came up with a plan, which was to send Vipa to the Deep Sea Branch first.

After that, ideally, the Deep Sea Branch contacts the Vivimi clan or the Deep River tribe, and the other party can send a merman to pick up Vipa.

Ideally, the Deep Sea Branch found the location of the settlement and sent Vipa over without causing conflict with the opposing clan.

I really can't...

You can only settle Vipa in the inner circle first.

Presumably, the Deep Sea Branch, which is very curious about the magic of the merman, will not refuse such a special guest as her.

The sea outside the magic yacht ushered in the darkness of the night.

At this time, the sunset has sunk to the bottom of the sea, and the stars and moon appear in the sky.

Leno and Headway decided to rest underwater for the night and return early tomorrow morning.

If all goes well, within 20 hours, Vipa will be able to arrive at the Deep Sea Branch and enjoy Selena's personal reception.

Headway goes to the control room to inspect the equipment of the magic yacht.

Vipake casually entered the room that Headway had vacated for him,

She shrank in the floating seashells, closing the shells, not knowing whether to rest, or staring at the seashells of her parents sadly.

Li Nuo didn't have the heart to sleep, he still had big things to do.

He hadn't forgotten that around evening, he would come to the Diffuse Blue Cave to take over the surveillance work.

Judging from the "Plan for Surveillance of the Diffuse Blue Hole", in about ten minutes, another Darktide spy will appear.

Li Nuo took a seat in his guest room and activated the "Psychic Beacon" left near the entrance of the Blue Cave to cast the "Psychic Vision".

The magical vision unfolded before his eyes, and Li Nuo couldn't help but shake his head at the dim darkness.

In the entire magical vision, only the place near the Mossy Blue Hole was a faint light, which was the work of the Glowing Moss.

In this case, it is quite difficult to find the Dark Tide Spy in the invisible state.

Li Nuo sank down and threw dozens of "Psychic Beacons" in a row, distributing them evenly around the magic yacht.

A surveillance network with a coverage area of 5 kilometers was laid out by Li Nuo on the spot.

As time passed, Li Nuo kept switching the magical vision of each "Psychic Beacon", striving to discover the traces of the Dark Tide Spy as soon as possible.

"Knock knock..."There was a knock on the door, followed by a childish voice:

"Ya Ya Ya ~ (Is anyone there?) ）”

Leno turned his head to look at the door and opened it with the "wizard's hand".

The female mermaid Weipa walked into the house with a curious gaze, and saw that Li Nuo's guest room was no different from her own room, so she said a few words to Li Nuo.

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows:

"You found a bunch of sinister Krakens?"

"Ahh Yaoooo (Yes, right next to this ship!) They are constantly watching our boats! ）”

Li Nuo immediately turned off the "Psychic Vision" and activated the "Life and Death Tracking" instead.

At this glance, he was slightly shocked in his heart!

At some point, seven krakens with slender snake tails touched the vicinity of the magic yacht!

At the same time, Li Nuo could only maintain a magical vision.

He had been using "Psychic Vision" and deconstruction to observe his surroundings until this time, when he switched to "Life and Death Tracking" and noticed the Kraken in the distance.

It seems that these guys who are in an invisible state just took advantage of the gap when Li Nuo used the "Spiritual Vision" to patrol and sneaked over.

Seeing that Li Nuo's eyes had turned black, Vipa's expression became serious, and she vaguely guessed that Li Nuo had used some kind of spell to discover the traces of the Kraken.

"Huh? (What do we do now?) Vipa asked.

Li Nuo squinted his eyes slightly, observing the kraken for a moment, the other party and the others should have only noticed the existence of invisible things in the water, and they had not yet figured out the origin of invisible things.

That is, the magic yacht has not yet been fully exposed.

It is estimated that it will be necessary for the Kraken to attempt to attack, and the magic yacht will come out of its invisibility state and appear in front of the Kraken.

Leno unleashes a deconstruction spell on one of the sea serpents.

[System News:]

[You spend 13,000 Energy to initiate harmless deconstruction of "Tide Hunter Valmudot.] 】

[You have completed 1% of the deconstruction of the target]

[You have obtained a very small amount of panel information:]

Name: Wamudot

[Identity 1] The Tide Hunter of the Terrorist Pirate Nation, that is, a reconnaissance combatant

[Identity 2] The sea patrol wizard of the Chanar family

[Character Level] is predicted to be level 45

[Underwater Battle Level] is predicted to be level 45

[Land Combat Level] is unknown

…

"Tide Hunter—" Lino chuckled, throwing a deconstruction spell at the other six Krakens.

One of them was the dark tide spy that Li Nuo had been waiting for for half an hour.

"Oh, I see. It should be that the Dark Tide Spy I did with "Mind Bombing" did not return to the normal handover work, which aroused the vigilance of the current Dark Tide Spy. This guy knew that the situation had changed, so he called in a helper to come to the rescue. ”

Li Nuo thought to himself, looked at Vipa beside him, and then glanced at Headway, who was getting up from the bed through the cabin wall.

With these two people here, Li Nuo was a little unable to show it.

He had thought that without alerting Vipa and Hideaway, he would have eliminated the Dark Tide Spy in seconds.

Now that is not possible.

"If only there were any lightning grenades left, I could split the two people around me, quietly charge the lightning grenades, and blow up all the Krakens outside. It's a pity that I've used all the lightning grenades against the Sea Serpent Leader. Huh? Wait, it's not completely helpless, I still have a mechanical spirit that is useless. ”

Li Nuo patted his head and remembered the mechanical spirit he had refined before going to sea.

He has always made a well-thought-out preset plan before taking action to deal with the tricky problems of different scenarios.

For example, how to cover up the fact that he used "mind bombing" to kill the enemy in seconds, Li Nuo had also considered it before.

He reached for the back of his left hand, took out a dozen round metal balls, and placed them on the table in a row.

This kind of mechanical spirit with the appearance of a metal ball was used by Li Nuo when he faced people in the Bahrain Arena.

It is disposable.

Once activated, it will split through it, revealing a high-pitched array within, distracting enemies with an extremely sharp and piercing noise.

It is a means of attacking the enemy with sound waves.

With this spherical mechanical spirit, Li Nuo can cover up the headshot effect of "Mind Bombardment" with some kind of sonic spell.

Li Nuo gave this spherical machine a convenient and easy to remember name - "Sonic Robot".

At this moment, Headway walked towards Li Nuo's room with light steps, and at the same time lowered his voice and called:

"Jarvis... Jarvis... Something is wrong outside, the sea is muddyed by something, and the magic of the deep sea is a little commotion... I've spotted the Kraken. ”

As soon as he stepped through the door, Headway saw the metal ball on Vipa and Lino's table:

"Huh? What are you doing? ”

"We've found the 'guests' too, Headway." Li Nuo looked at the door and pointed to his dark eyes:

"I turned on Life and Death Tracking, and I could see the seven sneaky sea snakes."

"Your detection methods are really powerful... So what do we do now? ”

Shocked by Lino's success, Headway forgot that he was the captain of the ship who was to provide a full range of security services.

Li Nobi made a gesture of silence:

"Shhhh Be quiet. When I get these alchemy items ready, I'll catch them all. I have a hunch that these guys might be coming for the merman. ”

Headway closed his mouth and nodded, pulling out his two-handed wand from his magic pocket, made of rocks under the sea, ready for battle.

While adjusting the metal ball, Li Nuo used pen and paper to relay the situation to Vipa.

After the female mermaid "listened" to his analysis, she thought about it for a while, and then nodded again and again:

"Ahh (My people did spot the Kraken when they were scouting the Sea Serpent's Lair, and these guys must have been watching us for a long time!) ）”

Li Nuo asked about the "Terrorist Pirate Country" with a pen and paper, wanting to see if there was any information about this evil force among the mermaid clan.

Vepa looked at Leno blankly.

Not long after she was born, she obviously didn't know about the "Terrorist Pirate Country" from her deceased parents.

Li Nuo immediately dismissed the idea of asking her.
