National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

There was a pile of junk on the deck.

The fishhook that was just caught on was actually the iron ring used to tie the sail to a broken mast stuck in the middle.

Before they could react,

"Splash!"

Another splashing sound came from the spot where they had fished out the sand ball.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the sea surface looked like a boiling kettle, with a large number of bubbles rising up and the sound of water bursting together!

"Splash—"

"Splash..."

"Splash!!!"

First a few, then dozens, nearly a hundred gray shadows, like tracking missiles, broke through the sea with the force of a tsunami, following the trajectory of the giant sand ball and soaring into the air!

Sunlight pierced through the water droplets, illuminating the true faces of these uninvited guests—

Little, little shark!?

...They're called 'small' sharks, but any one of them is actually two meters long. However, compared to the giants in the [Ocean Era] that are often ten or more meters long, they're practically 'fly-sized'.

Their bodies are similar to sharks, smooth, but their mouths protrude and, when open, resemble goblins, which is somewhat comical.

Although they are not physically imposing, their sheer numbers make up for it.

At this very moment...

The group of goblin sharks, with their bulging, blood-red mouths wide open, followed the trajectory of the falling sand ball and crashed headfirst into the abyss.

"Holy crap! Is that a sharktornado?!"

Klaus looked utterly disgusted, as if he could already foresee the deck covered in nauseating biological blood and saliva, along with various biological tissues.

He pulled out the word "Newton" from behind his back and then paused—

What mode will it become?

Chainsaw... no, no, no... that would throw internal organs everywhere, turning this chapter into a B-movie.

Shield?

It doesn't seem like it can only protect a small area.

He felt once again that his weapon design was so rudimentary and so inhumane...

The Newtonian model is still too inadequate!

Upon seeing this, Sita immediately climbed down the mast, jokingly, she didn't want to be accidentally injured.

Renyi's mind was racing.

Is it a solar flare?

No.

While it would turn these little monsters into charcoal, the giant sand sphere on the deck wouldn't escape unscathed either; he didn't want anything inside it, or anything else, to be cooked...

Just then.

Ivan's eyes, however, were shining brightly:

"Boss, this thing looks awful, but it might taste delicious!"

tasty......

These two words sparked a train of thought for Renyi.

"Everyone...and the snake, step back!"

He casually stuffed Xiao Jiu and the hat into Nathan's arms, then spread his arms and pressed the other four people down to the sand ball with him.

next second.

The Abyss emitted a cracking sound that was somewhat aching.

"Creak—"

Everyone saw it in horror...

The port side deck where they had just been standing had a crack split open along the center line, like lips parting. Below was not a cabin, but a dark void, just like the abyssal rift in the Sea of ​​Mist!

This is not finished.

The open 'lips' slowly pursed up... and a huge, jet-black tongue lazily extended from them.

The long tongue spread out like a blanket, its end curling impatiently.

He glanced at the bulging mouth of the nearby "Goblin" shark and suddenly had another inspiration.

The crack widened suddenly, "growing" directly from the deck...

It's even wider than the hull of the Abyss!

The ruminant digestion module appeared before everyone in an unprecedented way.

[...I have never been so clearly aware as I am today of the fact that this ship is a living thing...]

[Oh my god! Isn't that Godzilla?!]

[Godzilla doesn't look like this! This is Venom possessing the ship!!!]

[Wow, that's brilliant! It's just like feeding someone!]

"Splash splash ...

The shark rain finally fell.

Like dumplings being dropped into a pot, they all fell into that big mouth without missing a single one. A few that managed to escape were rolled back into the mouth by the tongue.

There was no chewing, only a continuous series of "plop" and "gurgle" sounds.

The group of people hadn't even realized what was happening yet.

"Thump!"

The sound of impact came from beneath my feet, as if a switch had been flipped.

The muffled thuds began to continue incessantly.

【Abyss】 shook violently as if it had Parkinson's disease, making it feel like riding on the back of a bull toy.

"Boss, is this okay?!"

Klaus seemed to snap out of a daze and took two steps back, nearly tumbling off the starboard side of the ship.

"They're gnawing...gnawing at the boat?"

【Durability -20】

【Durability -30】

【Durability -20】

......

Current durability: 9800

Current durability: 9500

The rate at which durability drops has suddenly increased!

The ruminant digestive module is just a functional "big stomach," not a shredder. The live creatures swallowed will not die immediately; they will be trapped, struggling in an environment full of digestive juices, and eventually suffocate or be corroded.

The damage to the ship during this period was entirely expected.

The violent tremors lasted for about two minutes before gradually subsiding and returning to calm.

And a series of notification sounds rang in Renyi's ears:

[You have defeated a Lv3 Mutant Goblin Shark and gained 15 Evolution Points.]

[You have defeated a Lv3 Mutant Goblin Shark and gained 10 Evolution Points.]

[You have defeated a Lv3 Mutant Goblin Shark and gained 12 Evolution Points.]

......

Like setting off firecrackers during the Lunar New Year, the balance of evolution points is increasing rapidly at a delightful pace.

2655......2885......3120......

The final number stopped at [Evolution Points * 3520]

It took less than five minutes and 2,500 durability points, which were instantly replenished by the bio-energy converted from the corpse of the mutated goblin shark it ate.

cost-effective.

This is such a great deal!

Renyi has always regarded the Abyss as a ship, a vehicle that can withstand damage and evolve.

Increase its speed, reinforce it, load it with weapons...

All approaches to increasing firepower rely on external forces.

What if we don't use it as a vehicle?

Treat it as a real...living...deep-sea monster.

So what is its most basic ability?

It is predation.

He shouldn't simply treat the [Rumination and Digestion Module] as a garbage recycling system—

This is the stomach, and also the mouth—the most suitable organ for hunting!

His lips curled up uncontrollably.

"it's over,"

"Let's see what's inside this package we caught."

He beckoned his friends to the large, unmoved sand ball and politely tapped it.

"Bang bang bang".

It's quite brittle; it seems to be hollow inside.

"Hey...is anyone there?"
