Chapter 161 Legendary Talent [Second Ship Soul]!
Chapter 161 Legendary Talent - [Second Ship Soul]!
Boom -
A sound like a tsunami exploded in Xia En's mind.
It was like the call of the sailors, mixed with the desolate ship song and the invisible stormy waves.
However, unlike the previous upgrades, there seemed to be two similar but different sounds echoing in Xia En's ears.
It was as if... the end of his soul was divided into two branches.
One branch was given to [Black Swan].
The other branch extended into the void of the underworld, and no existence has yet connected to it.
[Black Swan "Firepower" +2! ]
["Speed" +2! ]
["Solidity" +2! ]
["Mystery" +2! ]
The mysterious secret power flowed into Xia En's body, subtly nourishing every strand of his flesh and blood, and slowly precipitated into a more powerful force.
At this time, all the attributes of [Black Swan] finally broke through the 50 mark.
This means that Shane can use [Heart of the Ship] to upgrade the hull for the second time!
But now, he is more concerned about the newly unlocked talent after the ship soul level is upgraded.
[Unlocked Talent: Second Ship Soul]
[Quality: Legend]
[Description: After unremitting efforts, your bond with the "Black Swan" has reached a new stage. ]
[Now, you can bind a second ship of your own! ]
[The bound ship can synchronize the effect of "Captain's Majesty". ]
[But the bond with the new ship soul also needs to be gradually cultivated. ]
[When its ship soul level is upgraded, it can enjoy talents such as "Ship Soul Synchronization", "Submarine Anchor", and "Ship Heart". ]
[Double Ship Soul, Double Happiness! ]
"Hiss..."
After reading this description, Shane couldn't help but take a breath.
Golden Legend!
There is no doubt that this talent is the ability to bind a second ship that he has been thinking about for a long time.
The strength of this talent is obvious.
Powerful, no need to say more!
The attributes that [Captain's Majesty] can increase are exaggerated enough.
Although [Black Swan] has become very extraordinary after Shane's several enhancements, its starting point is really too low.
—— How powerful do you think a small boat that can only be sold for more than 300 silver snake coins can be?
If it weren't for the feelings they developed while getting along, and the fact that the ship cannot be changed after being bound...
Shane might really buy a bigger and stronger ship like some captains.
And now, Shane doesn't need to cultivate this second ship from scratch, he can just bind a ship that is already strong.
In that case, his strength will be a huge surge!
In addition to the attributes, what surprised Shane even more was that talents such as [Ship Soul Synchronization] can also be used on newly bound ships.
If [Communicating Ship Souls] is used, wouldn't it be possible to achieve double blessing of two ship souls?
After the new ship unlocks the [Submarine Anchor Point], will the number of [Anchor Points] also increase?
Moreover, after this, Shane can let the two ships take different strengthening routes.
For example, let the [Black Swan] focus on the [Life] trait; let the new ship focus on the [Mysterious] trait.
Only children make choices, adults of course -
I want them all!
Just imagining these situations makes Shane's heart surge and excitement.
"It's a pity that the [Blood Duke] was directly sunk by me. If it could be kept until now..."
Shane sighed regretfully.
He didn't think at that time that he would get such a talent as [Second Ship Soul] so quickly.
But think about it.
Even if the [Blood Duke] was not sunk, Shane would not be able to attack Duke Island and Silver Moon Island with so many burdens and captives.
He would most likely sell it in a package in the Chaos Sin Islands.
It can only be said that Shane and the [Blood Duke] are destined to be apart.
Another ship that Shane was excited about was the ghost ship in the foggy sea area - [Diamond Star]!
As a legendary ship that was regarded as "Noah's Ark", its attributes in all aspects were strong enough.
Not to mention, it has now become a ghost ship that cannot be described by common sense.
Of course, Shane also had a little selfishness in it.
- Please, it's a ghost ship!
It's super cool!
Which captain hasn't dreamed of driving a ghost ship on the sea?
However, then again, [Cold Sea] is too far away from the foggy sea.
If you want to see [Diamond Star] again, it will probably take a month or two.
From the perspective of immediate combat power, maybe it would be more appropriate to find a large ship nearby to bind it?
After careful consideration, Shane felt that he didn't need to be so anxious to bind a new ship.
This mentality is a bit like "brushing the initial" when playing mobile games.
Although the initial account that is swipe out also needs to be trained from the beginning, the starting level also affects the gaming experience for a period of time.
For example.
[Black Swan] is like drawing an R-level character when the server is launched. After a series of training, it has broken through the original limitations and has the potential of SSR.
Now that the second ship can be bound, it is natural to hope to swipe out an SSR character with both potential and strength, and don't want to find a random ship to bind.
Soon, Shane converged his fluctuating thoughts and shifted his attention back to reality.
At this time, in the sea water in front of him, there are still endless human-shaped ashes struggling and crawling from the volcanic ash.
But beside him, there are also many extinguished dust.
This is exactly the trace left by those human-shaped embers after "death".
Seeing this scene, the remaining human-shaped embers looked at Shane's eyes and whispered in their mouths, and there were subtle changes.
"He can kill us..."
"He can put out our fire..."
"That's great..."
They miraculously regained their sanity temporarily, and those crazy roars even turned into humble pleas.
"Please, take my fire away..."
"I've had enough..."
At this moment, it's better to say that Shane is absorbing the ember secret power in their bodies than to say that they are scrambling to send this power into Shane's body.
The efficiency of such absorption is naturally very high, but the price is that the burning pain in Shane's body is getting more and more intense.
The power of the ship soul has also fallen to an extremely dangerous number.
At this time, a squirming, female-like ember humanoid, leading a short figure, swam in front of Shane.
"I beg you to help this child get rid of the endless torment..."
To be honest, Shane is also suffering unprecedented pain now.
Every part of his body seems to be burning in an invisible flame.
If the projected body had flesh and blood, the flesh and bones would have melted and then burned to solidification.
The [Chaos Magic Pattern] on his body also glowed dark red, and there was constant severe swelling pain.
Obviously, the magic pattern has an upper limit to the amount of secret power it can hold.
Such a violent influx has been challenging its limits again and again, so much so that Shane had the illusion that he would be torn apart by the magic patterns that spread all over his body.
It seemed as if he would explode and die in the next moment.
But before that, Shane still reached out to the two embers in front of him.
An invisible heat flowed from the mother and son into Shane's body, and the dark red on their bodies gradually dissipated, and the strange flames finally went out.
The mother whispered: "Thank you, kind person..."
Then, the bodies of the two collapsed.
And Shane also felt that the heat in his body had reached its limit.
He looked down and found that his skin had become transparent and began to be gradually infected by the embers.
Like a firefly, fire ignited in his body and light overflowed——
Among the countless ashes, this projection body also became a part of them.
…
…
[End of the submersible voyage! ]
[Please choose your trophy! ]
[1. Embers and dust]
In the captain's room, Shane opened his eyes, with a little dark red halo remaining in his eyes.
"Huh..."
He let out a long breath and murmured with lingering fear: "This is the first time I have died in so many submersible voyages."
The pain of being burned by the secret power of the embers seemed to still remain in various parts of his body and had not subsided for a long time.
However, although the experience of this [submersible voyage] can be called torture, the rewards are also extremely rich.
Just raising the level of the ship soul to LV5 brought Shane enough surprises.
Of course, Shane's improvement is not limited to this.
He took off his shirt and looked at himself in the mirror.
I saw that on that beautiful body with streamlined muscles, dark red lines appeared very clearly, all over the chest and limbs.
This already fit body added a bit of weird charm.
Looking closely, those lines seemed to be still slightly wriggling and changing with the flow of blood, with a texture of sucking other people's souls into it.
The hot and boiling secret power like magma was hidden in it, flowing slowly.
It could burst out with extremely terrible power at any time.
[Talent: Chaos Magic Pattern (Rare) → (Precious)! ]
Seeing this line of prompts, Xia En couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
One dive raised this talent by three levels!
This leap was not exaggerated.
Xia En stretched out his finger, and with a thought, a small flame was generated at his fingertips.
He had a hunch that if he used all his strength to call on the magic pattern on the surface of his body, the flame would immediately turn into a fire that would burn a town!
"Hoo!"
Shayne blew gently and extinguished the flame.
He was not reckless enough to test this ability on the [Black Swan].
But obviously, he added another hidden attack method that was different from numerical crushing.
After experiencing his stronger body for a while, Shayne calmed down and recalled the [Emerald Ancient City] he had just seen, and many doubts came to his mind.
First of all, it was this weird [Ember Secret Power].
Would a normal volcanic eruption or even burial of volcanic ash really cause the victim to endure endless burning?
Either the volcano itself was abnormal.
Or, this was not an ordinary volcanic eruption at all, but a long-planned massacre!
Someone wanted to use this [Ember Secret Power] to make the residents of the entire [Emerald Ancient City] fall into this endless human purgatory.
Thinking of this possibility, Shayne couldn't help but feel a little numb.
What kind of hatred would make people do such a crazy thing?
On the other hand.
[Secret Power of Embers], coupled with the restless [Proof of the Fire King], naturally reminded Shane of the king who left the [Ember Treasure] - the Fire King!
Could this secret power be his work?
Although it was just an intuition, Shane instinctively denied this conjecture.
The man who burned himself like firewood on the throne of fire in his memory should not do such a thing.
The last doubt is...
Legend has it that the civilization of elves is buried under the cold sea, but according to Shane's observation, the humanoid embers in the [Emerald City] seem to be just ordinary humans.
Its architectural style also does not show the uniqueness of elves...
Squeak--
Just as Shane was thinking about these questions, the door of the captain's room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Accompanied by Joey's questioning voice.
"Captain, I'm in~"
"...?!"
Shae was stunned for a moment and had not yet reacted.
Her eyes collided with the little head with white hair and red eyes that came in from the door.
And looking at Shane, who was naked and showing off his beautiful body, Joey, who was wearing a furry fox fur coat, quickly turned from white to red.
Soon, even the roots of her ears were dyed red.
...I really want to touch it.
Such a thought suddenly popped up in Joey's mind.
'How, how can you do this! That's the respected Captain! This is too... too shameless! '
She shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel her fantasies.
Although Joey and Shane had bathed together intimately on the Ancestor Island of the Siren Islands, and had seen the smooth and beautiful muscle lines.
But at that time, Shane would at least wear thin clothes out of courtesy.
Moreover, the feeling of actively showing and accidentally bumping into is completely different.
It's like a good thing that happened today.
Not to mention, the dark red, weird lines magnified Shane's inherent "charming" temperament.
Especially the concave lines in the gaps between the abdominal muscles, which are even more inexplicably attractive.
Seeing Joey staring at his abdominal muscles, Shane didn't quite understand.
Is this thing really that special for women?
"... Ahem."
Shane coughed twice and reminded: "Joey, why did you suddenly come in?"
"Ah!"
Joey came back to his senses immediately and waved his hands to explain.
"It was Mr. Knight who reminded me that the captain might be suffering from some kind of pain, so he asked me to come to the captain's room to see."
"I knocked on the door before, but Mr. Captain didn't respond to me. In a hurry, I..."
After hearing this, Shane understood.
An has the talent of [Knight's Guardian].
Perhaps when Shane absorbed [Secret Power of Embers], some of his mental pain was shared by him, so he noticed it.
As for why he didn't hear the knock on the door, it was also because the level of the ship soul was upgraded and the impact of the [Secret Power of Embers] was too strong.
Thinking of this, Shane comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Joey breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
Seeing that her eyes were still fixed on him, Shane reminded her carefully, "I'm going to change clothes, can you go out first?"
But suddenly, at this moment.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
A rapid alarm sounded on the deck, causing the two people's faces to change suddenly.
Shane immediately put on a coat and rushed to the deck with Joey.
When he came to the deck, the scene in front of him made Shane frown slightly.
I saw that the ice field on the sea was constantly cracking.
One after another, sea beasts covered with magic patterns broke the glaciers, gnawed ice crystals, and crawled out of the ice.
They roared like a tide and rushed towards the [Black Swan]!
