Chapter 138 The polluted ancient dragon species, the last magic potion! simultaneously! Scarlet blood spilled on the sea, gradually turning the water red. However, the owner of the blood is not Lulu, who is regarded as prey, but a strange fish that emerges from the sea! The pair of siren sisters stared blankly in front of them. In their eyes, in the last second, the handsome and strong captain jumped into the air, and a big sword made of blood appeared out of thin air in his hand! With just one slash of the sword, the hideous and ugly fish was disembowelled and fell into the sea water. “So fast! Men can be so strong...” “This Captain Shane, is he so powerful?” The two sisters were a little surprised.
On the Siren Islands, the sparse number of men is actually a protected and vulnerable group, and their main task is to be responsible for the continuation of the race. In the past, what attracted them more to Xia En was his handsome appearance and male identity. Until now, the Siren sisters have realized that in terms of strength, this captain is far superior to other men in the clan! “My mother said that if we continue like this, maybe even us sea monsters will be affected.” 【Unlock Talent: Dragon Body】 Hearing this, Xia En remotely controlled the [Black Swan] to dock while observing the alienated fish. 【It was detected that this effect partially overlaps with "The Majesty of the Bronze Dragon", so the two are merged! 】 The Siren sisters swam quietly from the sea, one after the other, dragging Xia En's body closer to the shore. 【Your physique, strength, and speed have been slightly improved, and you have suppressed weaker creatures! 】 It’s not for anything else, just because—it’s more handsome that way! The feeling of absorbing [Secret Sea Crystal] is slightly different from usual. 【If you are a dragon, that's fine too. 】 Under the body, there is foot cartilage that has not yet grown. Having the talent of [Seawater Control/Affinity], his water skills are certainly not bad. 【Ship Soul Experience +! 】 The thick scales and strange horn-like structure make it look less like a fish and more like a reptile or amphibian. 【This type of creature is extremely violent, angry, and extremely aggressive, and will instinctively hunt any creature that enters its territory. 】 Falling from mid-air into the sea, it was more or less embarrassing. But he actually wants to master the ability to hang in the air or stand on the sea.
【Physique +1! 】 【Kill the evil dragon sea fish! 】 Just by looking at the appearance, you can tell that this fish is abnormal. This secret power flowing into Xia En's body has a slightly scorching temperature, like an ironing warm current, rushing up and down the body. Looking at its cut body section, the shape and number of bones are also very different from those of fish. 【Strength +1! 】 【Quality: Ordinary】 【The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" (special) in the corpse has been detected. Should it be absorbed? 】 【Speed +1! 】 【Description: Sea fish contaminated by the blood of the profane dragon. 】 【Obtain trophy: Dragon Evil Sea Fish's corpse】 At this moment, Shane suddenly missed the [Platinum Knight] named "Carles". The compatibility between them was indeed not bad. 【Type: Material】 This is a direct enhancement of Shane's body, so it does not increase the attributes of [Black Swan]. However, judging from their dishonest little hands, Xia En has reason to suspect that their purpose is not pure! Not long after, we arrived at the coast. The eyes of the wide-open dead fish were no longer round, but turned into strange vertical pupils. “Dragon evil…” With a "crash", Xia En also fell into the sea. She said with lingering fear: "In the past few years, there have been more and more mutated creatures on the Island of the Ancestors, and even the marine life in the nearby seawater has been polluted." 【Quality: inferior】 【They cannot become real ancient dragons, and they have to bear the pollution of their bloodline, so they are called "dragon evils."】 “Captain Shane, thank you.” Lulu also sent over the corpse of the strange fish just now. 【Description: You have gained a little power of the ancient dragon! 】 Xia En's mind was filled with thoughts, and he chose to absorb them without much hesitation. at the same time. An ancient, unwilling roar rang in Shane's ears!
In a daze, he saw, on the vast sea, among the strong winds and huge waves. A huge blue dragon covered in bruises was looking up at the clouds in the sky. There seemed to be some extremely terrifying existence hidden in the clouds, trying to impose its vast and majestic will on this ancient dragon. The howling wind and flashing thunder are like the wrath of heaven! However, facing this terrifying majesty, the ancient dragon flapped its wings again and again, launching a desperate charge towards the existence in the clouds. An angry roar echoed in the clouds. But after all, there is a big gap in strength between the ancient dragon and the enemy. In the charge after charge, the wounds on its body became more and more, and the injuries became more and more serious. The blood flowing out of the body dripped onto the sea surface, smearing it with a scarlet color. Finally, the body of the giant blue dragon landed weakly among the mountains of an island. Blood flows downward from high places, turning into **** streams that spread like a large net. Gradually, the ancient dragon fell into a deep sleep, and his body disappeared deep into the mountains. However, the creatures on the island have undergone strange transformations under the influence of dragon's blood... … … “Hoo!” Xia En exhaled sharply, and the hallucinations in front of him quickly dissipated. “That was just now…” “Memories that remain deep in the dragon’s blood?” Perhaps because of the effect of [Blood Power], Xia En can sometimes glimpse some past scenes from the blood. This tragic and spectacular battle undoubtedly revealed the reason why the ancient dragon was sleeping on this island. But what makes Shane curious is... What is the enemy fighting the ancient dragon in the clouds? Even if it was only fragmentary memory fragments, Xia En could clearly feel the power of the ancient dragon. It was a power that he could not compete with at this stage. But such a powerful ancient dragon still cannot shake the existence in the clouds. As his mind turned, Xia En came up with a bold guess. “Could it be...that’s a god?!” Only gods can possess such vast and majestic power.
But which **** is it? Why does Gu Long want to be his enemy? After all, this is just an unreal historical afterimage. Shane obviously cannot deduce much valuable information from the limited picture. However, he quickly noticed something else. After being seriously injured and falling into a dormant state, the ancient dragon did not actually die, and its blood did not seem to be contaminated or desecrated at that time. In other words, there is another person who blasphemed the ancient dragon’s bloodline! Moreover, the time is much later than when it was dormant. It is even possible that it was because of this act of blasphemy that the ancient dragon could not wake up from his long sleep and fell on this island forever. “Captain Shane?” Lulu's soft voice brought Xia En back from his thoughts. She said apologetically: "The Island of the Ancestors is too dangerous. My sister and I have almost no combat capabilities on the shore, so we can only take you here." Shaan understood this: "This is enough." “You just go back first.” “Well, Captain Shane, please be safe!” Soon, the silhouettes of the Siren sisters gradually disappeared in the sea water. Lily looked back at Xia En on the shore and asked, "Sister, do you think they can reach their ancestral land?" After thinking about it, Lulu said: "If it were before, I don't think there is much hope." “But now, Captain Shane might really be able to bring us an unexpected surprise!” “It’s a pity that last night…” “Oh, I mean, I don’t know how many years will it be until I meet such an outstanding man next time!” … … Just when the Siren sisters were sighing. Xia En has already decided on the candidate for this deep dive into the island. Himself, Joey Chord Song. It is not difficult to see that even if it is docked on the coast, there may be dragon creatures attacking the [Black Swan]. To be on the safe side, let Fei Ya and An stay on the ship. By the way, Xia En did not waste the [Evil Dragon Sea Fish] he killed before and fed it directly to the steam turbine.
Having the name of "Gluttony King", it has become a trash can that accepts all comers and eats whatever is available. Before the official departure. Xia En also didn’t forget to spend the last [Crystal of Filth]. This exploration obviously won't end in one day, and we can take advantage of this time to strengthen the hull of the ship that was not strengthened before. 【Sea Crystal Wood/Ghost Gold/Mithril Hull (+)】 【Crystal of filth-109! 】 【Estimated strengthening time: 12 days! 】 The reason why Shane did not strengthen [Phantom Storm Ray Sail] is simple. First of all, this is because this sail can no longer keep up with the attributes of the current [Black Swan], and the bonus it brings is not obvious. Shane planned to wait until he left the foggy sea to replace it. On the other hand, as one of the main parts of the ship's hull, the [Filth Crystal] required for the ship's hull is already relatively large. Putting all these [Filth Crystals] into it will probably bring about an extremely obvious transformation. After doing all this, Xia En took Joey and the chord song and headed into the depths of [Ancestor Island]. The vegetation on this island is very lush. Although it is not as huge as the trees on the Giant Island, the slightly dark red trunk and the vigorous branches and leaves can also show that this is not an ordinary wood. Shaan stretched out his hand and touched one of the tall trees. 【Palm trees infected with dragon's blood】 【Quality: Rare】 【Type: Material】 【Description: Trees infected with diluted dragon blood, the wood has undergone subtle changes. 】 【Can be used as low-level materials to strengthen the hull! 】 “This is also a good thing!” Xia En’s eyes lit up. In the past, although this kind of wood was of some value, it took up too much space on the ship and could not be sold at a good price. It felt too low-grade to use it to modify the ship. It can be said that it is like tasteless food that is worth throwing away. But now, with the strengthening function of [Ship Heart], even low-level wood has its place. Thinking of this, Xia En glanced at the panel. 【Materials required for a single enhancement】 【Timber already held: 68%】
【Metals already held: 19%】 【Proportion of extraordinary materials: 3% (the upper limit of this enhancement is 30%)】 【Each attribute must exceed 50 before the next enhancement can be carried out! 】 Since the last enhancement prioritized using up the extraordinary materials, there are not many extraordinary materials on Shane’s ship and they are in urgent need of replenishment. Now it seems that there should be many unexpected gains on this island. But Xia En also knows that returns are often linked to risks. Not long after the group of people entered the jungle, several figures covered in scales and armor had quietly stared at them. “Gahwu!” Followed by several fierce and strange screams. Several upright monsters jumped down from the top of the woods and went straight to the backs of Shane and Joey. Dang! Xia En's reaction was extremely fast. The moment the black shadow fell, the **** sword in his hand was already raised. To his surprise, the extremely sharp Blood Demonic Sword could not directly cut off anything it came into contact with, but only made a crisp sound of gold and stone intersecting. And Joey is far from the helpless girl she was before. After using defensive spells to block the attacks behind her, a faint blue halo flashed in her eyes. A blue beam of light emerged in mid-air and pierced into the attacker's eyes. While the blood was flying, Xia En was able to see clearly the appearance of his enemy. This is a humanoid creature over two meters tall. They have a layer of scales and hair growing on their bodies, vaguely revealing strong muscle curves. They also have human-like palms, except that each finger has sharp claws, but in the palm of the hand, they hold a dark, dagger-like weapon. “Half-dragon?!” This is Xia En’s first impression of this monster. But when he took a closer look at their weird standing posture and the not-too-thick tail behind them, he suddenly realized. “No, this is an ape transformed into a dragon!” Obviously, there once was a group of normal monkeys on this island, but they became what they are today after being infected by the dragon's blood. Thinking about thinking, Xia En's movements did not pause at all. His figure swayed slightly, and his sword slashed forward. The terrifying force poured out, easily tearing apart the monkey monster's flesh and blood.
After the hull and components were upgraded again, Shane's stats once again soared to a terrifying level. Although the physical fitness of this group of monkey monsters has far exceeded that of ordinary first-level mystics, and even approaches the category of second-level mystics. But in front of Xia En, he could only be crushed and swept away! This is the charm of numerical values! "Roar!" At this moment, Xian Ge not far away let out a low roar. This voice cannot be called loud, and is even a bit deep and depressing, but it contains indescribable majesty and pride. At the moment when the growl spreads. Several dragon-turned-monkey monsters suddenly trembled all over, their hairs stood on end, and a mixture of fear and fear flashed through their vertical pupils, looking at the seemingly petite Xian Ge in fear. How can they withstand the majesty of the superior ancient dragon? At this moment, Xia En also recalled the scene when Xian Ge broke out of his shell. Even facing two giant dragons, he was not afraid at all, but resolutely showed his presence. The main reason is that Xian Ge is usually so embarrassing that Xia En forgets that it actually has such a side. While the monkeys are frightened by the dragon's power. Shane and Joey took action decisively without hesitation. In just a moment, several of the attacking monkey monsters were killed. This group of monkey monsters also exploded [Secret Sea Crystals], which together only increased the Ship Soul's experience value by 2%. This increase made the corner of Xia En's mouth twitch slightly. After the ship spirit level reaches LV4, the experience provided by low-level monsters becomes increasingly pitiful and can only be described as better than nothing. At this time, Xian Ge flew to Xia En and enthusiastically asked for credit. “Captain, I just did a good job, didn’t I?” Xia En nodded and said, "It's really not bad." “Hmph, I’m a great bronze dragon. Don’t take it easy to suppress low-level fish like this!” Xiange said triumphantly, her little tail almost raised to the sky. Xia En’s mouth twitched. Every time he wanted to give Xian Ge a little respect, the little dragon would speak. Soon, Xia En’s eyes fell on the weapons dropped by the dragon-turned-monkey monsters. He felt inexplicably familiar with this pitch-black material.
As soon as you reach out and touch it, several lines of information will appear. 【Crude black stone dagger】 【Quality: Ordinary】 【Type: Weapon】 【Description: A dagger roughly polished from black stone ore, it only has the original characteristics of black stone. 】 “Black stone dagger…black stone?!” Xia En’s heart jumped suddenly. He is not unfamiliar with this material. When he first faced the pirate [Blood Wolf], he relied on a black stone dagger to complete the hunt in the sea. For quite some time, it was a very useful weapon. Only later, as Xia En's strength gradually improved, the black stone dagger gradually couldn't keep up with his fighting, and it was left idle. At this time, what Xia En cared about was not the black stone dagger itself. Since the monkey monsters are using black stone daggers, it means that there is very likely to be a black stone vein on this island! The last potion material that Xia En needs - [Black Stone Essence], is the material born from the black stone veins. These days. As Xia En cleaned up the palace, the progress greatly accelerated. The sea tribesmen in Coral City are also very smart, collecting various potion materials, and even found another main ingredient [Celestial Star Sea Star]. Including [Crimson Reality] which can replace [Nether Sea Clam Blood]. The only thing Xia En lacks now is [Black Stone Essence]! At the moment, the black stone daggers in the hands of these monkey monsters undoubtedly gave him hope. “After a few more dives, the career compatibility is almost full.” “As long as you find the [Black Stone Essence], you can start trying to get promoted!” Xia En’s heart was beating fast, and a flash of expectation flashed in his eyes. After the hull upgrade, the [Black Swan] no longer has no chance of winning against the [Blood Duke] fleet. But don’t forget, once a naval battle cannot be decided, the captain’s combat power will determine success or failure! And the owner of Duke Island, Duke Nova, is surprisingly a third-level secret wayfarer! At the same level as Quinn from Silver Moon Island. This time, without the help of Carles, the only person Shane can rely on is himself. So, he must break through to the third level before leaving the foggy sea area!
Looking at the dead monkey monsters around him, Xia En felt a little regretful. “I would have left one or two of them to see if I could ask for directions.” “However, since this is the territory of monkey monsters, there must be more than just a few of them…” Thinking of this, Xia En's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately took Joey and Fei Ya to search around. This search soon yielded results. With the help of [Blood Sense], Xia En quickly found a lone monkey monster. This time, he did not use Xian Ge, but walked to the monkey monster by himself, and a faint dragon's power escaped. “Ouch!” Seeing Xia En approaching, the monkey monster, which had a strong desire to attack just a second ago, let out a strange cry, tremblingly knelt down and lowered its head on the ground. This seems to be a way for the monkey monster to express its submission. “?!” Xian Ge on the side suddenly opened his eyes wide, filled with disbelief, and said to himself in shock. “How come there is dragon power in the captain?” “And it’s so similar to mine?” "Wait a minute...I thought before that the captain's body seemed to be different from that of an ordinary human being. Could it be that he is actually a dragon?" “This, this isn’t right...” Xia En, however, didn't care what Xian Ge was thinking in his heart. He threw the black stone dagger in front of the monkey monster and spoke as briefly as possible. “Take me to the place where this stone was dug.” “Gah woo, ga woo!” After repeating it two or three times and communicating with some gestures, the dragon-monkey monster seemed to barely understand what he meant, stood up, and started running towards a mountain range on the island. Xia En followed decisively. After a moment, a valley between mountains came into his view. The rocks here are gray-black with fine holes, and on the rock formations, there are several black stones directly exposed to the air. Obviously, this is where the black stone veins are located. …) At this time, the monkey monster looked in a direction not far away and called out in a low voice. The voice sounded wary and frightened. Xia En followed its gaze and soon saw a dark giant beast hidden in the gray-black rock wall.
Its body is more than ten meters long, with a black stone-like carapace on its back. The corners of its four legs are extremely clear and sharp, and there is a drill-like horn on the top of its head. It is a bit like a giant turtle, with some characteristics of an ancient dragon. This is a real behemoth! Even if Xia En transformed into a giant, he might not be able to match the size of this giant beast. The only good news is that the giant tortoise is in a deep sleep at this time. Only the carapace on its body that complements the surrounding black stones proves that it is always aware and vigilant of the outside world. “Captain, be careful.” Xian Ge's eyes also showed solemnity: "This big guy may be a real ancient dragon species!" “Ancient dragon species?” Xia En asked in a low voice: "What is the difference between it and other creatures contaminated by dragon blood?" “The meaning of the ancient dragon species is that it is a creature that is born after an ancient dragon has mated with other creatures. The blood of the ancient dragon naturally flows in its body, unlike those creatures that are contaminated later in life.” Xiange explained: "Although this dragon turtle is not a descendant of the first generation, the concentration of dragon blood in its body is not low, so be careful." "However, judging from its breath, it seems to have been contaminated by blasphemy." After hearing these words, Xia En suddenly understood. Simply put, it is the difference between nature and nurture. This big guy is obviously not easy to mess with, but Xia En’s intuition told him that the [Black Stone Essence] he needed was in the veins under the Ancient Dragon Seed! In this way, the answer to whether or not to take action is already clear. Xia En took a deep breath and looked at the sleeping giant turtle. “That’s just right, let’s use you to test my improved strength!” (End of this chapter)
