Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 186 The "Lord of the Abyss" Saint-level Skill!
Shi Ming noticed that the blood of the Nameless Cocoon was not the same kind of substance as the blood of other sea beasts. It was not just blood, but also contained a large amount of spiritual energy, which had a terrifying impact just by looking at it.

If someone else were to watch this, they would definitely be overwhelmed.

No wonder it's ranked third among sea creatures.

According to the Nameless Cocoon, only those with a mental strength of 300 can communicate with it.

So, my mental strength is over 300.

I just don't know the exact value.

Even the mysterious woman couldn't tell, so Shi Ming didn't think the Nameless Cocoon knew.

Putting aside the "investment" he had received, he decided to spend a day in the waters under Black Gold's jurisdiction. His reasons were twofold: first, to sell the remains of those sea monsters; and second, to pretend to gather some information about Black Gold, so that the Nameless Cocoon would notice that he was genuinely making the necessary efforts.

This way, it will be easier to make additional investments next time.

The Dayun cruise ship lingered in this sea area.

From afar, Shi Ming spotted an old acquaintance.

"Hey bro, you're back so soon! Did you finish the task for your employer?"

He was the old captain of the Shark, and as always, he stayed in the same waters, entertaining the drifting ships that came to visit and doing his own business.

"Thanks to you, we managed to complete the mission by chance and even brought back so many spoils of war."

Shi Ming pointed to some sea monster carcasses on his nail plate and smiled as he responded to the dark-skinned old captain smoking a synthetic cigarette. They had made a deal before setting sail; Shi Ming had bought a set of temperature control equipment for the drifting ship from him and had also obtained some information about the "Golden Sun" from the old captain.

It's remarkable how true intelligence is often hidden in the most inconspicuous details.

The old captain stuck his head out and looked at the prey on the deck of the Dayun.

"That's impressive, young man. That's a C-class sea beast, a Thousand-Cave Shark?"
"It's still the most prized part of the shark fin; its flesh and blood are extremely sought after! The meat is tender, sizzling, and creamy. On the Black Gold Ship, many nobles adore this!"

"What kind of sea creature is that six-pointed starfish? I've never seen one before. Young man, we're regular customers. How about I sell you the shark fin of this Thousand-Cave Shark? What's the price?"

Shi Ming looked at the quote and nodded.

"The price is fair, that's fine."

These sea monster carcasses, lacking blood and hearts, wouldn't fetch a high price.

Even something that's better than nothing is considered extra income.

After his previous conversation with the Nameless Cocoon, Shi Ming understood why Black Gold was willing to pay any price to acquire the Heart of the Sea Beast from the Boiling Sea. The Heart of the Sea Beast from the Boiling Sea possessed violent energy, which, when supplied to the Mother on the ship sealing the prison, could more effectively suppress the Nameless Cocoon.

Poor Ah Jian.

The task of selling the other Class C and Class D sea monster carcasses was left to the crew, and Shi Ming was happy to have some free time.

He drove his canoe alone, wandering around the only lively area, using his creative brain to search for bargains, and savoring local delicacies, enjoying a rare moment of complete relaxation.

"Black Gold Squid Skewers, non-synthetic food! 10 Sailing Coins!"

"Roasted shark skin, 12 sailing coins!"

"The brick from the Pharaoh's Four-Eyed Cobra is extremely valuable to collectors!"

"Icy Fruit from Europe! Experience the refreshing sensation of ice! 30 nautical coins per fruit!"

Only in such places could Shi Ming feel a rare touch of warmth and humanity, dispelling the loneliness and solitude he felt while sailing on the endless ocean for so long.

……

……

……

The real sun sank into the sea.

The moon rose from the distant horizon and slowly ascended to the due south. Shi Ming remained in the captain's cabin, gazing at the severed arm of a large Holy Temple Sea Beast that he had preserved using the Formless Pure Ice. This place was now outside the Black Gold controlled sea area and outside the mental monitoring zone of the Nameless Cocoon.

The power of the severed arm of the Holy Sea Beast was somewhat contained, but it was still ferocious!

Even a single drop of blood is enough to penetrate Shi Ming's body, which has a defense of 142!
Upon seeing the severed limb, the crimson markings on Shi Ming's right arm flared uncontrollably once more, as if desperately craving the severed limb and its blood. However, without obtaining the necessary information, Shi Ming dared not allow it to absorb the blood rashly. When facing the flesh and blood of a Saint-level sea beast, no amount of caution was excessive.

It's past midnight.

[The Eye of Intelligence: Gathering Intelligence!]

The chances of using the Eye of Intelligence are extremely valuable, so the most important one should naturally be placed first.

[Beep~ Beep~]

[Intelligence being compiled...]

[Searching. Confirming detailed coordinates... Search successful, intelligence summary in progress... Intelligence generated.]

[The remains of a Saint-level sea monster!]

[From the sixth-ranked Sanctuary-level sea beast of the Endless Ocean, the Abyss Lord.]

[The Abyss Lord, an ancient creature composed of endlessly twisted evil tentacles, was originally a ferocious beast that slumbered in the depths of the Earth's core. When the Age of Wandering arrived, a drastic change in temperature awakened it from the Earth's core. To maintain a constant temperature in its habitat, it gave birth to an asteroid egg from outer space, allowing the Three-Eyed Golden Crow to appear in the world and maintain the constant high temperature of its dwelling place.]

When the evil tendrils are curled up, their length is 1012 meters.

[The malevolent tentacles, stretching out to a length of up to 12029 meters, possess extremely strong penetrating power. Covered in indescribable barbs, they invade living beings, rapidly absorbing their energy and transforming it into nourishment for the Abyss Lord.]

[Most active period: 30 years ago]

[Sanctuary Skill: Extreme Evil Sanctuary]

[Normal Skills: Crystallized Veil, Thousand Hook Tentacles, Abyss of Sin]

【…】

Ranked 006, his name is Yuanzhu.

The last time this happened was 30 years ago. Now, because I wanted to kill his "air conditioner," I made a move from the Earth's core and gave myself that blow.

I'll remember this grudge.

Shi Ming continued reading.

The Eye of Intelligence not only provided information about the Abyss Lord, but also thoughtfully offered methods for utilizing the severed limbs.

Methods of utilizing severed limbs.

[An awakening that cannot be used.]

[A Saint-level evolution requires enormous resources. Only by absorbing over 80% of the Abyss Lord's blood can one inherit its power. This severed limb contains very little blood, far from enough for the host to achieve a Saint-level evolution. However, this small amount of Saint-level blood can further activate the power within the four pieces of divine remains, randomly evolving one of the remains' skills.]

[The Eye of God Belongs To:]

[A: Arm of Power: ???]

[B: Eye of Intelligence: ???]

[C: The Creative Brain: ???]

[Note: The blood of each type of Saint-level sea beast can further activate the power within the remains of a god.]

!!!

The information obtained from the stone tablet was confirmed again by the Eye of Intelligence: the Eye of God pendant was indeed a type of "divine remains"!
It is unknown who has obtained the other three divine remains—the Heart of Chaos, the Body of Primordial Flow, and the Shadow of Indeterminacy—or where they are now scattered.

The remnants of the Abyss Lord can randomly evolve one skill.
No wonder the red mark on his right arm was so agitated!
Let's see how it goes first. When we have the chance, we can go to Mount Fujin again. Even if we can't defeat the Great Black Dragon, it wouldn't be a loss to steal some of its blood from its slumber and use it to evolve our skills! That dragon is in a deep slumber, and even the awakened members of the Black Society can fleece it.

Much easier to deal with than the Lord of the Abyss!
