Chapter 161: Never Go to the Sea Again
What is it that holds killing intent in the sea?
And the previous Gonzares ......
Is it what happened to these people in their dreams, or is it something else attached to it?
Wayne looked at the calm sea and thought silently, the sea breeze blowing his red hair, and there was no expression on his handsome face.
On the deck next to him, there were a few fish covered in triangular scales, which were blue marlin, which was judged to be delicious by the panel.
Not far away, Ronan bowed his head respectfully, his eyes staring straight at the side of the ship, quietly waiting for the captain's order.
Although he was surprised that the second order he received today was to have someone poke the blue marlin on the side of the boat to death, he still didn't dare to say anything, for fear that because he said too much, he would also be poked to death by the captain who was obviously worried about it at this time.
"Move those boxes to my bedroom, and I'd like to look into the cause of their death."
"Yes!"
Ronan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the red-haired captain didn't speak, more oppressive than ever.
He quickly gestured to the other pirates behind him, and then resumed his previous stance again.
"Second mate, can I go to the sea during the day?"
"You, you want to ......"
"I'd like to go down and see," Wayne decided, if he could, he wanted to try to look in the sea and see if he could find anything.
"Yes, but there may be danger," Ronan hesitated, "especially some of the deviants hidden in the reef or mud and sand, once they find ......"
"What about the other than that?"
"This, there should be no more. At present, the sea area where we are located is still close to the Eastern Continent, and there are generally no high-level deep-sea creatures. β
Wayne nodded, and then ordered, "Stop the boat, I'll go down." β
"Yes!"
Ronan had to return to the cockpit and pull the brake lever to slow down the steamer while letting the ship lower its anchor and prevent the ship from drifting with the current.
Once the steamship had come to a standstill, Wayne pulled out a bottle of underwater breathing potion and poured it into his mouth.
"Tsk."
Compared with the enlightenment potions and healing potions that I had drunk before, the taste of underwater breathing potions was obviously not within the acceptable range of normal people.
The salty smell of rotting sea fish almost made him vomit.
It didn't take long for the potion effect to take effect, and he felt the pores on his body open a little, like countless more filters, connected to the blood vessels in his body.
Wayne knew that the duration of the underwater breathing potion was only about thirty minutes, so he didn't waste much time, and he jumped directly from the bow of the ship.
Poof.
[You are locked by the killing intent of the deep-sea creature-sabertooth fish.] Reward: +1 Survival Point. γ
As soon as I entered the sea, dozens of messages poured out of the panel.
Around the steamer, hundreds of fish, large and small, of all kinds of strange shapes, many of them spotted him as an intruder and swam straight towards him.
Wayne ignored these small fish that posed no threat to him, activated the spiritual transformation talent, and after increasing the resilience level to 10,000, he went all the way down.
You are attacked by the deep-sea creatures, the Thornfish. Evaluation: I'm going to reconsider your title, well, the weak chicken doesn't represent your strength anymore. Reward: +1 Survival Point. γ
Not a weak chicken?
Hope is not a weak duck either......
Well?
However, when I dived to about 30 meters, the visibility was already low to the point of almost darkness.
And when he was close to 100 meters, not only was the surrounding killing intent locked much less, but even the fish that did not spare attacking him resurfaced one by one, as if they were out of the range of their hatred.
It wasn't until about a thousand meters that Wayne felt a touch under his feet, and he should have reached the bottom of the sea.
At this time, the surrounding area was already a dark space.
If it weren't for the pressure on his face and body, he would have thought that he had entered the dream of the Lord of Despair again.
Wayne could only see something by relying on the faint light emitted by some of the fish themselves to illuminate a small area.
But the strange thing is that these fish with light, once the distance exceeds five meters, those lights will disappear in an instant, as if swallowed by the sea, and the surrounding area will fall into darkness again.
Wayne frowned, he didn't dare to use the Psychic Perception Detection, for fear that it would attract some distortion that could detect his mental power.
In this deep sea, if it is discovered by an aberrant...... Then the fun will be great.
After a quiet moment, he quietly grabbed its tail as another deep-sea creature glowing red passed by, swam with it with a swing of his legs.
At the same time, with the help of the light on its body, it can look at the surrounding situation, paying special attention to the hints on the panel in your mind, hoping to find the thing that can hold the killing intent.
Hiss!
Over here......
But when Wayne saw the situation below, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and his heart trembled.
What the bottom of the sea is down there?
That's a huge deep-sea monster!
I saw that the body of the monster was like a snake coiled into a disc, and the scales shimmered faintly under the red light, as if dormant and motionless.
Its spiky head alone was a staggering ten meters long.
On its back, there is a row of sharp dorsal fins, and on the left and right of the dorsal fin are countless "small" tentacles.
At this point, the tentacles are dragging some deep-sea creature to cut its dorsal fin in half and send it into its mouth...... Eating in hibernation?
Wayne: "......"
He hurriedly let go of the fish in his hand that flashed red, and kicked his legs upstream.
Wrong, wrong...... He shouldn't have rushed into the depths of the sea!
A deep-sea monster of such a large size is not something he can deal with in the sea at first glance, so it is better to leave here and run away.
But at this moment, an icy chill flowed through Wayne's bodyβ
[You enter the place where the killing intent of an unknown existence is contained, because your spiritual power is less than five thousand, you are about to be dragged into the endless killing illusion. Comments: May die, escape ...... Special Rewards: Survival Point +40, Tenacity Level +2, Spirit Level +2. γ
Spiritual Transformation, Resilience Level Conversion Spiritual Level, Five Thousand!
Wayne reacted quickly, and when he sensed that something was wrong, he immediately improved his mental strength.
[You stepped into the place where the endless killing intent of the unknown existence was contained, because your spiritual level was greater than five thousand, and you successfully resisted the erosion of spiritual power......]
Call......
I almost fell on the road.
However, therefore, he also confirmed his previous speculation, there is indeed a place to store killing intent under the surface of the sea!
It's just that he doesn't know what it is......
As soon as Wayne breathed a sigh of relief and continued to swim upward, preparing to escape from the huge deep-sea monster far away, a message appeared in his mind again.
[You are locked in by the killing intent of the deep sea aberrations.] Comment: It's a big guy! Reward: +40 Survival Points. γ
40οΌ
Before he could react, there was a huge suction force behind him.
What is it?!
After realizing that he could not rely on his physical strength to break free, Wayne did not care to follow the rules of the deep sea, and his spiritual perception swept behind him.
!
I saw that the huge snake-like monster behind him had awakened, opened its bloody mouth to let the sea flow backwards, and stared at him with a pair of blood-red eyes.
And the tentacles on the left and right of its dorsal fin also danced wildly towards him at this time, as if they were very unhappy with his disturbance.
At the same time, there was something strange in Wayne's perception, that is?
"Niko, Rook."
At the critical moment, Wayne directly asked the secret master to cast a flickering spell.
First, he went to the place where he sensed the abnormality, threw the thing into the spatial ring, and then without stopping, it flashed to the surface of the sea in an instant, and shouted to Ronan and the others who were waiting: "Hurry up and start the boat!" β
"Sailing?"
Hearing his voice, Ronan was stunned for a moment, then thought of what he had heard at sea in the past, and ran directly to the cockpit to start the steam engine, "Put away the anchor!" β
The surrounding pirates' faces also changed drastically at this time, and they obviously knew that it must not be easy to make the usually calm red-haired captain show such an expression.
Wayne returns to the Ronan to help the pirates recover the anchor.
"What's going on?" Claire ran out and asked in surprise when she saw Wayne with a solemn expression.
"You go back to the theater first!" Wayne grasped the rope that held the anchor with both hands and pulled it back quickly, thinking in his heart.
Forty Killing Intent Lock, which means that the strength of that deep-sea aberrant is at least twice that of Henrik.
However, Wayne is well aware that in a place like the deep sea, its destructive power cannot be judged solely by its extraordinary power.
You must know that Henrik is not as big as him, and he does not have the advantages of deep-sea creatures.
If you can't get away from that guy...... I'm afraid this time, he will have to abandon the ship with people and run away again.
"Roarβ"
Only five seconds had passed before a roar came from the abyss.
Immediately afterward, a large whirlpool emerged around the Ronan, pulling the entire ship towards the center of the whirlpool.
"Be careful."
Claire was almost thrown out by this force, and hurriedly grabbed the side of the ship, shouted at Wayne, and ran to the cabin behind.
At this time, she didn't run away alone, but was still worried about her escorts.
Wayne looked at the whirlpool, "Ronan, can you get out?" β
"It takes a little time," Ronan shouted from the cockpit, "the steam engine needs some time to warm up, a minute!" β
A minute?
Wayne frowned slightly, if it weren't for the fact that there were people on the ship to take care of, it would be the best choice to enter the theater space now, but now ......
It seems that if you don't kill it, you won't be able to escape!
Thinking of this, Wayne summoned the mechanical door, and after leaving the city-state of Karster, he took out the sniper rifle for the first time, ready to wait for the bastard to come out and give it a hard blow.
Here it comes!
Under the cover of his spiritual perception, he saw dozens of tentacles rushing from under the surface of the sea.
Bang, bang......
Wayne's hands danced into two afterimages, and the sniper rifle fired a barrage of bullets that fell into the sea in a strange arc, instantly shattering the tentacles that attacked the ship, and then the ones around the ship.
[You use a sniper rifle to hit the Deep Sea Aberration, triggering the Burst Rune, triggering the Death Trait - Blight, i.e. Death Progress 45/10000.] Rating: Reward: Survival Points +10, Marksmanship +2, Tenacity Level +1]

Fortunately, these tentacles are not covered with scales, and their defense is not high, so they are easily stopped under the combined attack of bullets and rune power in the sniper rifle.
Despite this, the restless sea surface affected by the attack of the mutant species also made the entire Ronan shake violently.
"Deep, deep-sea aberrant ......"
"I'm going to die!"
"Damn, stop shouting, quickly put the anchor away, the captain is here, it will be fine!"
Ignoring the pirates' noise, Wayne leaned out of his mental senses, carefully observing the movements of the deviant.
Just a few more rounds will trigger its death trait!
"Roarβ"
Come...... Well?
Hearing this, Wayne thought that the distortant attack was coming again.
But in fact, it was the opposite, as the sound came out, the whirlpool next to the steamship actually began to contract slowly, and the suction power decreased a lot.
Ran away?
Wayne didn't dare to relax, his spiritual perception still covered the surroundings, and he went deep into the sea to probe the movements of the big guy.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that the tentacles had shrunk back and that the distorted species had dived deeper.
However, a question suddenly popped up in his heart, would the aberrant species also be afraid of death?
"Captain, it's activated!" Ronan roared from inside the cockpit.
"Get out of here!"
Wayne glanced at the pirates whose expressions were still flustered, and said coldly: "The crisis is over, clean up the ship!" β
"Lifted?"
"I ......"
"Shut up, didn't you hear the captain? Hurry up and pack your things! β
Led by their respective captains, the pirates began to inspect the ship, repair the damage, and sort out the items that had been thrown out.
Wayne still stood behind the bow statue and stared at the movement under the sea, shooting from time to time to kill some of the monsters that came up.
It wasn't until the Ronan had run far away that he put his sniper rifle into the mechanical door and let out a sigh, "It seems that I can't go deeper into the sea in the future." β
He could carry it, but the ship under his feet couldn't withstand the toss of those huge distortants......
"Out of danger?" Claire poked her head out of the cabin.
Wayne nodded, "How's it going inside?" β
"There are a few people who have been injured, and one of them is a bad guy, and he has been treated."
"Hmm."
"You're not going to say something?" Claire leaned against the door of the cabin, "Since last night, you've been mysteriously looking for something...... It can't be a treasure found, right? β
"There are no treasures, there are a bunch of distortions, do you want them?"
When she said this, Wayne also remembered that he had indeed brought something back from the sea.
With this in mind, he took out the object from the spatial ring that reacted abnormally in his spiritual perception.
"That's ...... You still say you're not looking for treasure?! β
"Treasures?"
Wayne was stunned for a moment, and looked at what was in his handβsomething the size of a fist, like a crystal, with a crystal clear surface and a few honeycomb-shaped holes.
"This is the rough stone used to make equipment such as the Space Ring," Claire stared at the crystal, "The price of one gram is as high as five gold pounds!" β
Is a gram worth a metal pound?
Wayne weighed it, there was at least one kilogram in his hand, that is, five thousand gold pounds?
Rich...... Well, compared to his next expenses, five thousand gold pounds doesn't seem to be a lot?
"You don't seem to be much happy?" Claire said with a smile: "I remember when I first met you, hardware and pounds can make you happy for a long time......"
Wayne glared at her and put the rough stone away again, "Happy, it's better to have a harvest than no harvest." β
Just now he thought that what he got would be the thing that was stored with killing intent......
It's a pity...... Didn't find it.
But if you think about it carefully, there are many transcendents who are stronger than him in the sea of Cordo, and if they found that thing so easily, I am afraid that they would have been cleaned up long ago.
"Don't look at its price, it's not high, but it's definitely a very rare thing, and for a while, Menor frantically contacted other sects in order to buy more."
"Menor?" Wayne was stunned, "Do you mean you want me to give this thing to him?" β
"Of course not...... I just think it's probably useful for more than just crafting space gear," Claire smiled charmingly, "You can take care of it yourself, I'll continue to train the guards." β
With that, she turned and entered the cabin, leaving Wayne in a daze.
It's not just about making space equipment......
Wayne thought of the time he saw Menor before, could it be that the other role of that crystal refers to Menor's strange spatial ability?
Well, it seems that the rough stone should be kept for now.
He was interested in Menor's abilities, which were essential for home travel.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After this accident, Wayne stayed on the Ronan for a while to make sure there was no problem, and then he returned to the theater with the boxes.
Although this rash entry into the deep sea caused some disturbances, he also learned a little more about the situation at sea.
The killing dreams that only appear at night and the place where the killing intent is stored cannot be easily used, and the corpse explosion technique is used as little as possible, and there are many aberrations in the sea......
From these known rules, it can be inferred that there are many more dangers in navigating the deep sea than in the city-state.
At least most of the city-states were protected by the Church, the Parliament, and the Council of the Nobles, and maintained a minimum of order.
Well, except for the city-state of Caster the other day......
"It's no wonder that the pirates in the Basil neighborhood before all looked careless. Anyone who experiences a crisis from time to time will also lack reverence for order in the city-state. β
Thinking of this, Wayne sighed, said hello to Tina, and went into the studio.
He was going to transform the corpses in the box into undead creatures, and wanted to see if he could successfully transform them without an origin and a soul.
If successful, they might be able to get something out of their mouths about the Killing Dream.
Buzzing......
Special liaison?
Wayne pushed open the door of the studio, and saw the golden lines on the black trophy flashing, who was it?
He set the box aside, walked over and pressed the gem, waiting for the image to appear.
After a while, a figure slowly emerged from the light above the trophy.
Skull heads?
When Wayne saw the figure on the screen, he said unexpectedly, "Dean Josue? β
"Good afternoon, Wizard Wayne."
"Good Afternoon ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Dean Qiao's skeletal head suddenly approaching, and the two red rays in his eyes flickered wildly, looking anxious.
"Wizard Wayne, please help!!"
