Chapter 347 Changes in the South China Sea Fleet (33)

slam-la-

In the crystal lake, the sound of noisy water waves surged.

For a moment, it can be seen that a large number of metal minerals stacked at the bottom of the crystalline lake, bones containing metal, and unknown creations of pre-epoch civilizations began to gather in the direction of the shark under the pull of an invisible magnetic force.

"Whoa whoa!!"

Swinging his body, Shasha didn't pay attention to the metal that naturally converged towards it, but twisted his body violently.

And in the process of its violent twisting, it can be vaguely seen that its outer shell began to shatter with a crackling sound, falling, and slowly fading away...

Then, under the old cortex, a new body that shines even more silvery and metallic light is revealed!

Click!

After molting, Shasha's size has not grown much, but Ian knows that the other party has completed an essential transformation.

It has changed from an armored shark that can only passively look for iron ore to eat, to a steel armored shark that can actively attract metals, look for high-quality ore veins and even precious metal ore veins!

And as it molts and matures again and again, the shark's body will become stronger and stronger until it is comparable to the best alloy.

Coupled with the blessing of source quality... even if it is comparable to Morian steel, or even a fine gold alloy, it is not impossible!
--happy!
Even, Ian can clearly sense Shasha's emotions at the moment.

Although it was only a few emotional fragments of psychic induction, there was no doubt that Shasha's thinking and emotions became clearer.

"So that's how it is. This is the difference between Warcraft and humans."

If Ian has realized something, he understands that the essence of Warcraft's advancement is actually the process of gradually condensing its own soul and wisdom. The transformation of the essence of life has actually almost transformed during the process of their growth. It only needs an introduction provided by 'wisdom', and it can be completed smoothly.

As it is today, the shark is actually only one step away from the real armored shark, but there is an invisible lock to prevent it from entering, and the key is wisdom.

Only people like Ian, or a flash of inspiration on its own, can make it break through.

But people are different - people are born with wisdom, but the essence of life is just a mortal thing. Although it has been genetically modified to be powerful, it is impossible to have extraordinary powers of sublimation without potions.

The molting has been completely over. Today's Shasha no longer looks like a dark silver in general, but more like a monster with armored giant sharks, but an alloy battleship whose whole body is made of metal!
"Oh! (Hungry!)"

After the metamorphosis was completed, the hungry shark did not start eating immediately, but raised his head and circled around Ian, who was watching its advancement in the water: "Wow! (Praise me!)"

"It's amazing, it's amazing, Shark is the best armored shark!"

Ian smiled and stretched out his hand, touched Shasha's head, and immediately made the other party very happy: "Go and eat, there are four bottles of silver solution and one bottle of gold solution on the shore, and I will give them to you after eating the staple food." Replenish the body!"

"Wow!! (Moved!)"

The shark swims more happily.

After the jubilation, Shasha went to feast on the metal creations and iron bones gathered around it. It has just advanced and is in urgent need of nutrition and various key elements.

It takes a few more days to develop before becoming a full second energy level.

However, even now, its power has been greatly improved compared to before.

Among other things, visible to the naked eye, Ian could see that the gleaming silver skin on the surface of the shark's body began to be covered by a fine crystalline metal structure.

Arcs flickered one after another, assisting in shaping the shape of these metal armor pieces.

And magnetic adsorption is also a method for the armored shark to fix the armor on its body, which is tighter than flesh and blood.

This made Ian even more certain that the advancement of the armored shark required the thunder attribute.

Rather, as a man-made creature, the advanced version, or "upgraded version", of the armored shark needs human assistance to unlock various stimuli. More than 1000 years later, many locks that restricted the growth of ironclad sharks have been unlocked, but only electric stimulation can only be done by chance, such as being attacked by thunder-hunting jellyfish, being struck by lightning, and so on.

It's no wonder that there are legends that the iron shark will charge towards the storm-this is not because of its bravery and grumpiness, but because of its instinctive desire for thunder.

Ian believed that there must be many people who discovered this 'secret', but like himself, there must be fewer people who used the Aurora Titan potion for Iron Shark.

"Looking at Shasha's healthy appearance, the potion is obviously no problem, and it's time to prepare a copy for Scott... I also have to ask him to exercise again, so as not to fail when taking the potion, it would be embarrassing .”

When the shark was eating, Ian took out the precious metal solution and fed it to the shark, which immediately made the shark even more excited and grateful.

"Oh, oh, oh! (Boss, great!)"

Because of his improved intelligence, Shark could sense that Ian's strength definitely surpassed that of himself who had advanced to the Steel Armored Shark...even a lot!
Moreover, it is not just about strength.

It is victory, confidence and wisdom, which make it admire the little boy in front of it very much, just like it has always admired that old existence.

"Stop flattering."

Ian couldn't help laughing, he was always so happy with Shasha, he touched the other's smoother skin, and then said: "After you have completely advanced and stabilized the state of the armored shark, remember Help me find a magical beast called 'Ghostly Jellyfish'—with your ability, you must find it faster than me."

"Choose the biggest one and bring it back to me. Remember not to make it too tattered. I'm useful."

Shasha happily agreed: "Oh! (Okay!)"

For an Aurora armored shark that has advanced to the second energy level, there is probably no existence in the entire South China Sea that can defeat it. As long as it grows to a full body, without the second energy level driving armor, even The South China Sea Fleet also has to be frightened in the face of it.

Ian believed in the promise of the other party, and then remembered something: "By the way, the Chongyuan Iron Sword is also here."

He asks Shark where the sword is, and finds his sword at the bottom of the lake.

Ian already has the materials 'Thorium' and 'Adamantine' to strengthen the Abyssal Iron Sword. The amount is not much, but it is enough to make it a facelift.

Although the Morian steel has been transformed into ether crystals and integrated into the left arm, everything can't be overdone. The original base material of the Chongyuan Iron Sword is very good, and there is no need to add a lot of rare materials indiscriminately.

"Take it back first, and start strengthening it when the tools that Master Gesai and the others promised to give me arrive."

Ian nodded slightly. He was about to become a knight. After leaving Port Harrison, he would definitely not be able to deal with the second-level monsters he was going to hunt with only the Wind Shifting Sword and the weapons given by the Viscount.

And just as he was thinking about the plan to strengthen the Chongyuan Iron Sword, suddenly.

A burst of extremely slight humming appeared in Ian's ears.

"Ok?"

Relying on his keen perception, Ian frowned slightly, and raised his head to look at the top of his head.

The outside of the crystallized lake is the South China Sea, and the source quality fluctuations he sensed just now... He is not very familiar with it, but he has often heard it these days.

"Is it the shipboard alchemy furnace—the South Sea Fleet of the [-]th Legion?"

With a puzzled expression, Ian was a little confused, so: "Why did they come here?"
