I'm not just human!

All I saw was—

Three colors of light burst forth from it, like intertwined rings, instantly illuminating the entire giant ship!

Chapter 182 There is an angel-level overlord on the ship. How dare your roaring emperor's subordinates attack?

"Am I seeing things? That's three colors, isn't it? It really is three colors, isn't it?"

As if provoked, the captain of the Red Pufferfish grabbed the first mate's arm, shaking it while pointing at the traveling whale whose belly had been cut open.

Normally, the first mate wouldn't even bother with him, but now, even this most composed pirate on the ship stared wide-eyed and nodded hesitantly.

"Hmm...it seems so!"

Dagney's beautiful eyes widened, her cherry lips slightly parted, as she gazed at the tri-colored halo emanating from the belly of the traveling whale:

"This is truly divine..."

The discovery of three-colored light from a traveling whale found in the coral algae-rich sea... no one knew better than the pirates on the ship what this meant.

Due to the limited availability of this product, the tricolor light... is the highest level of radiance that can be extracted from the belly of a traveling whale in the coral algae-rich sea!

As for five-colored light, seven-colored light... all the way up to fifteen-colored light, then you'll need whales from other top-tier production areas.

Therefore, being able to extract three colors of light is practically like winning the lottery!

If I had to use a metaphor, it would be like a blacksmith who has just started learning to forge a blacksmith, but suddenly creates an unparalleled sword; an apprentice who has just started raising horses, but trains a king horse; or a chef who has just started learning to cook, but creates dishes that conquer the royal chef...

To exaggerate further, it's like an ordinary person who has never even signed a secret agreement easily killing a wolf-level or even elephant-level monster...

In short, this is something that would be impossible in either the real world or the supernatural world!

Prince Justinian's pupils also contracted; even someone as worldly-wise and wealthy as him had clearly rarely encountered such a situation.

On the contrary, Avalon's slightly chubby face immediately showed a thoughtful expression.

If it weren't for the need to avoid suspicion and prevent people from thinking He was trying to steal the good stuff that Xia Fa had dissected, He would have wanted to immediately go to that traveling whale and observe and summarize it properly.

As for the other pirates on the ship, their gazes toward Xia Fa were filled not only with envy but also with a touch of awe.

Pirates, who lived at sea, always believed in mystical things like "luck," "fate," and "bad luck."

The former Xia Fa, although born into the Augustus family, was only a worm-level being, and was not worth mentioning in the vast ocean that worshipped the strong.

But as Xia Fa cracked the time-looping ghost realm and revealed his extraordinary intelligence, many pirates began to admire and be grateful to him.

Now that they've witnessed Xia Fa's luck firsthand, the pirates even feel it's absolutely necessary to befriend Xia Fa.

What if Xia Fa can make everyone rich?

The next moment, the intertwined tricolor rings retracted into the belly of the traveling whale.

A sudden silence fell over the Red Porcupine. Everyone held their breath, and some pirates' hearts even began to pound uncontrollably. Their eyes were fixed on the overturned traveling whale, and they were even more excited than Shafa himself.

A three-colored ray of light... if you're lucky, it can yield priceless treasures!

Xia Fa was actually quite surprised. Although he had a vague feeling that something good could be found inside this traveling whale, his expectation was just to see some golden light.

Unexpectedly, it emitted a three-colored light directly!

He felt a strange sense of anticipation and excitement. The main reason was that he was indeed short of money. Five million gold pounds was just the starting price for a top-level secret contract, but he only had three and a half million gold pounds.

Therefore, for Xia Fa, the more money he earns now, the better!

And these three colors of light, in a sense, represent wealth! Wealth far greater than that of the golden light!

Taking a deep breath, letting the fishy smell and starry minty scent from the traveling whale's belly fill his nostrils, Xiafa's hands reached into its cut-open abdomen.

Since this traveling whale was the smallest of the eleven traveling whales, its round body was only the size of a water tank, so Xia Fa could easily find something by simply touching it with both hands.

The thing felt hard to the touch and was cold to the touch; Xia Fa's first impression of it was that it was very much like metal.

But immediately, he felt a sharp pain in his thumb, as if it had been bitten by that thing.

Xia Fa wasn't afraid, as "mystical living silver" flowed within his body at all times, possessing both detoxifying and exorcising properties.

Therefore, even if some evil creature did bite him, it wouldn't have much of an impact.

It's impossible that inside the belly of this traveling whale is an evil creature with the rank of an angel, right?

However, Xia Fa quickly withdrew his hand, and then he was slightly stunned.

Not only him, but even the captain of the Red Pufferfish, who was a seasoned sailor and had seen a lot, looked at the "thing" hanging on Xia Fa's thumb with great surprise and couldn't recognize it for a moment.

It was a piece of iron ore, about the size of a fist.

But strangely enough, the iron ore, which should be metal, has eyes and a mouth.

The eyes were like two black gems, no, to be precise, two black gems were set on its left and right sides.

As for its mouth, it was a serrated crack in the iron ore, which was biting Xia Fa's thumb, looking like it would never let go.

Everyone looked at Avalon, including Shafa.

If we had to say who among those present could recognize what this thing was, it would probably be Prince Justinian or Avalon, though Avalon was clearly more knowledgeable.

Prince Justinian seemed to recognize him as well, but seeing that everyone's attention was focused on Avalon, he smiled slightly and did not try to steal the limelight from his old rival.

Avalon, unusually excited at this moment, seemed to be shining with his sky-blue eyes:

"Iron Marrow Elf! It's actually an Iron Marrow Elf! Shafa, will you sell it? I'll offer 600,000 gold pounds!"

He disregarded everything and excitedly strode forward. However, when he approached Xiafa, he maintained basic restraint and etiquette, simply bringing his head close to the Iron Marrow Elf and carefully examining it, his expression quite pleased.

But everyone on the ship looked bewildered. Iron Marrow Spirits? What are those?

Prince Justinian smiled gently and began to explain to the crowd:

"Iron Marrow Spirits are a type of supernatural creature, but they are extremely special."

"Generally speaking, supernatural creatures are mutated from ordinary creatures. For example, silver cod can mutate into golden-striped silver cod, and grouper can mutate into crystal grouper, and so on."

"However, the Iron Marrow Spirits are supernatural creatures mutated from the extraordinary metal Iron Marrow found in iron ore!"

"A single vein can produce at most one kilogram of iron marrow, and it may take one or two thousand pieces of iron marrow to mutate into one iron marrow spirit."

"Iron Marrow Spirits are also a type of supernatural creature favored by those with a mechanical affinity, as they can help them handle highly precise magical mechanical tasks."

"On the other hand, one can also refine the Iron Marrow Spirit into the mobile armor to give it additional abilities."

Prince Justinian's explanation was so detailed and clear that everyone looked enlightened, but at the same time, they were even more astonished.

You should know that iron marrow is already an extraordinary metal, and this iron marrow spirit is actually a supernatural creature mutated from an extraordinary metal.

No wonder it sold for a whopping 600,000 gold pounds!

Xia Fa didn't know what the thing biting his thumb was at first, but after Prince Justinian's explanation, he suddenly understood.

Anyway, I'm not an extraordinary person in the field of mechanical contract development, so as for signing the "Forge of All Things" hegemonic contract, who knows when that will be.

Therefore, exchanging this Iron Marrow Spirit for money immediately is the best option.

"Okay, I can sell it to you, but can I do it after I've dissected the third traveling whale?"

Xiafa smiled and looked at Avalon, whose gaze seemed glued to the Iron Marrow Elf.

Avalon nodded repeatedly:

"Sure, sure, whatever is convenient for you."

Xia Fa smiled slightly, then grasped the Iron Marrow Spirit with his right hand and gently pulled it.

The Iron Marrow Sprite was immediately pulled off his thumb. The little thing was actually quite irritable, struggling desperately in his palm, seemingly trying to move its iron-ore-like body and bite Xia Fa's palm instead.

However, as Avalon flipped his hand and produced a small piece of dark metal, the Iron Marrow Elf immediately quieted down.

Its black, gem-like eyes stared intently at the dark metal, revealing a surprisingly human-like longing.

Xia Fa finally recognized it; that dark metal was "iron marrow."

The market price isn't high; one kilogram can be bought for a thousand gold pounds. It can be used to forge secret treasures or to manufacture mechanical artifacts.

He actually bought a kilogram as a backup. Although he didn't know what it was for, he thought that he was going to sea and it was not easy to find such an extraordinary metal at sea, so he bought it anyway.

Anyway, they're all in the black bag, so I don't have to carry them myself.

However, this time Xia Fa did not take out the iron marrow from his bag. Since the iron marrow spirit was going to sell it to Avalon anyway, he might as well use Avalon's iron marrow.

Even though it's only the size of a soybean, it adds up to hundreds of pounds.

"Feed it a little; it'll be quiet for a few hours after eating."

Avalon spoke softly, looking at Shafa with sincere eyes, clearly already regarding this Iron Marrow Elf as his pet.

Xia Fa smiled and nodded, took the iron marrow, and fed it to the iron marrow elf.

The Iron Marrow Elf opened its serrated mouth and swallowed a soybean-sized amount of Iron Marrow in one gulp, crunching it as if it were chewing beans, before swallowing it with great effort.

Then, its black gem-like eyes showed an embarrassed expression, and it opened its mouth and spat out a ball of magnetic powder.

The magnetic powder swept across Xia Fa's injured thumb, and the jagged wound it had bitten on his thumb healed instantly.

Xia Fa clearly felt that when the wound healed, it felt like it was being wrapped in countless magnetic powders, tingling and itchy.

"This little guy is actually quite sensible..."

Xia Fa chuckled inwardly. When he first reached into the belly of the traveling whale, the Iron Marrow Elf probably mistook him for a predator, which is why it bit him.

But now that he has fed the Iron Marrow Elf a piece of iron marrow, it seems to have sensed that he meant no harm and actually used its innate ability to help heal his wound.

Xia Fa couldn't help but sigh, "It truly lives up to its reputation as a supernatural creature worth 600,000 gold pounds. Just for this reason alone, it deserves its price!"

The people on the ship were amazed. This Iron Marrow Elf was far more humane than some of the less intelligent demigods!

Xiafa immediately placed the Iron Marrow Spirit on his shoulder. The Iron Marrow Spirit stretched out two small, withered arms from its iron-ore-like body, grabbed Xiafa's collar, and leaned against his neck, and actually fell asleep instantly.

Between its black gemstone eyes and serrated mouth, two small, dark nostrils were visible, from which snot bubbles formed of magnetic powder bubbled out, expanding and contracting with its breath.

Xia Fa smiled and shook his head, then walked to the third traveling whale he had chosen earlier.

He was a little unsure about this traveling whale.

Although its abdomen has "wooden strip folds" and its tail is a "brick tail," which are similar to the concepts of "house" or "rectangle," these are the only two similar features; the other features are messy.

Moreover, when facing this traveling whale, Xia Fa did not feel the same way he did when facing the second traveling whale, that he was certain he could find something good inside.

However, having already extracted two valuable items from the bellies of the two traveling whales, Xia Fa was satisfied and not greedy. He casually used his shark tooth folding knife to make a cut on the white belly of the third traveling whale.
