"It really works!"
Lu Chen's heart pounded with excitement,
Little dumpling's talent can not only absorb but also refine!
"Gurgle gurgle~"
Little dumpling absorbed a lot of impurities from the newbie wooden boat, its small face flushed red,
It opened its tentacles, wanting a hug from Lu Chen.
This startled Lu Chen, and he quickly said,
"Little dumpling, quickly spit what you just absorbed into the sea."
It was like a joke; if Little dumpling absorbed good things, it could enhance Lu Chen's attributes,
But its mouth was now full of impurities and decay; who knew if he absorbed this thing, he would just die immediately?
He finally got a cheat with explosive luck, and if he died like this, it would be too frustrating.
"Wow~"
Hearing this, Little dumpling opened its small mouth and spat out a stream of black impurities, instantly dyeing the seawater below the wooden boat pitch black.
"Next, I'll just wait for them to scout ahead, and I'll prepare to pick up scraps from behind,"
Lu Chen gently patted Little dumpling's small body, calculating in his heart.
...
"It seems I have to upgrade the newbie wooden boat to a Single-masted sailing ship; only then is there a possibility of survival. I checked the Tianyu Encyclopedia and found that I have to upgrade to a medium-level newbie wooden boat first, then to advanced, and finally it can be a Single-masted sailing ship."
"Oh my god, just to upgrade from primary to medium, it requires 20 units of wood and 1 second-tier crystal core. Wood is fine, but what the heck is this second-tier crystal core?"
"This thing... it seems only second-tier sea beasts have it in their heads..."
"It's over. So, if we want to survive, we must go out and hunt sea beasts? If I wait for rescue here, is there still a way to live?"
"Heh, are you still having such an unrealistic beautiful dream? What kind of existence is heaven's oracle, capable of sending us here in the blink of an eye? We'd better follow heaven's oracle's instructions."
"Alas, yes. However, I found that our boats can all carry four people. Does this mean we can team up?"
"Team up? That's right! Zhou Xiang boss, I want to join your team, I have E-level Speed Enhancement!"
"Boss, take me with you! I just got a steel crossbow and can attack from a distance!"
For a time, everyone began to look for teammates.
Among them, the few people who owned special boats instantly became the focus of everyone's pursuit.
Because people discovered that those who could own special boats also had exceptionally powerful Awakening talents themselves.
Especially Zhou Xiang and Yang Zimo, they were even more sought after.
Especially Yang Zimo, he not only possessed a C-level talent but also owned the only C-level talent special boat in the newbie area.
Therefore, he was regarded by everyone as the strongest among the 1000 Newbie Sea Area.
Everyone flocked to him, flattering and fawning, hoping to become a crew member on his boat.
Of course, there were also some individualistic people,
"Heh!"
A bizarre red light suddenly bloomed on the man's body, and then, he violently threw a punch, carrying the momentum of Thunderbolt.
"Boom!!"
The sea surface was instantly torn apart by this force, stirring up a giant wave up to three meters high.
The huge sound drew everyone's sideways glances,
This terrifying power, back then, would have been enough to be called a superman!
Under everyone's stunned gaze, the man's lips curled into a contemptuous sneer, his eyes full of unruliness and arrogance,
"Heh heh, a bunch of cowards, just a few sharks, what's there to be scared of!"
Someone in the crowd quickly recognized him
"I recognize him, he's Zhao Lei boss, a strong man with a full 20 points of strength!"
"Brother Zhao Lei is a fitness coach, right? Your physique is so good, little sister likes it so much~"
"The boss's Awakening talent should be E-level Strength Enhancement. He already has 20 points of strength, plus the talent's amplification, he can probably really kill a bull with one punch!"
"Boss is awesome!"
The crowd's praise couldn't help but make Zhao Lei feel a bit smug,
Seeing this, Lu Chen's eyes flashed with cunning, and he immediately shouted loudly,
"Boss Zhao Lei is so awesome, with just those few sharks, the boss can blow them up with one punch each! Boss, lead us out!"
His shout instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the people around him, and everyone echoed,
"Yes, Boss Zhao Lei, please take the lead!"
"Brother Zhao Lei, you are the most handsome!"
Under the crowd's surrounding and flattery, Zhao Lei's already somewhat inflated mentality reached its peak.
He tightly gripped the refined steel spear in his hand and laughed with great pride,
"Haha, alright! Today I will let you witness what true strength is!"
"Boss is mighty!"
"Brother Lei is awesome!"
Under everyone's gaze, Zhao Lei's small boat slowly paddled outside the protective shield,
But although he wasn't smart, he wasn't stupid either,
He deliberately chose a location with few sharks as a breakthrough point.
However, the moment his small boat just left the protective shield, a wandering shark keenly sensed his presence.
The shark quickly turned around and swung its massive body, pouncing towards the small boat.
"Come on! Let me see what's different about this otherworldly shark!"
Red light bloomed on Zhao Lei's body again, and his powerful strength doubled his confidence.
But unfortunately, before he could swing the refined steel spear in his hand, the shark suddenly accelerated and slammed hard into the small boat.
"Bang!"
The small boat instantly shook violently,
Zhao Lei's figure swayed, almost falling into the sea,
He hurriedly grabbed the gunwale with his right hand, barely stabilizing himself.
Just then, the shark suddenly leaped out of the water, its massive body causing Zhao Lei's pupils to shrink,
"This... how can this be so big?!"
If the sharks in Blue Star's aquarium were the size of a husky, then the shark in front of him was a tiger.
Before Zhao Lei could react, his right arm was fiercely bitten by the shark.
"Ah!!!"
Zhao Lei let out a mournful scream and was then ruthlessly dragged into the water by the shark.
The azure seawater was instantly dyed crimson, a shocking sight.
Seeing that Zhao Lei had lost his breath, the shark just took a slight taste and then turned away disdainfully, swimming off,
Leaving Zhao Lei's tattered corpse drifting on the sea surface with the waves.
【Ding, the Evolutionist you are following - Zhao Lei, has been killed by a Giant Tooth Shark (First-tier)】
"Giant Tooth Shark... just first-tier and already so fierce. It seems upgrading the boat to a Single-masted sailing ship is by no means easy."
Lu Chen pondered, his fingers gently stroking his chin.
He knew deeply that if first-tier sea beasts were already so powerful, then the second-tier crystal cores needed to evolve the newbie wooden boat to medium level would undoubtedly be even harder to obtain.
Lu Chen looked around. The people who were originally relaxed and comfortable were now all solemn-faced and dumbfounded.
Fear spread across their faces like a plague, and many people's eyes were already full of terror.
No one expected that someone as strong as Zhao Lei would die so easily.
Moreover, moreover, that shark just now was the lowest-level first-tier sea beast!
Lu Chen secretly estimated in his heart that among the thousand people here, only a small portion might be able to sail out of the Newbie Sea Area alive in the end.
