We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

In the shadow-shrouded neighborhood, a figure quickly passing by suddenly stopped.

"……This is?"

Looking at the new situation emerging in front of him, Xia En had a strange expression.

It feels like there are a few more stars in the upper right corner of the field of view.

"Isn't it just to kill an old man?"

"Why are they reacting so loudly? They're even wanted."

"but……"

Shane quickly noticed the penultimate line in the description.

"Any blood could be a target for marking?"

The projected body itself has no blood, but if a vampire deliberately leaves his own blood on him, it is possible to lock his location.

Xia En looked at the remaining blood stains on his windbreaker and the [Blood Sword] in his hand.

"It seems like you have to be more careful from now on."

"But this time..."

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took a sudden step forward, and struck the house on the right with a sword!

laugh!

The wall was cut open with a sword, and at the same time, the head of a vampire youth flew high.

"...Let me make a big fuss."

“It’s still unclear who is the hunter and who is the prey!”

…

…

[The submersible is over! 】

【Please choose your trophy! 】

【1. Broken Blood Slave Corpse】

【2. Passan Falon’s eyeballs】

【3. Bloodstone Necklace】

【4. Lisa Sessions’ legs (including feet)】

"...Well, you are stronger this time."

Shane opened his eyes in the captain's cabin and touched his neck.

The pain from being cut open by the sharp blood line still vaguely remained on the surface of the skin there.

Although he did cause a scene in the city and killed countless vampires and blood slaves.

But the [Ship Soul Power] is limited after all, and if you fall into the encirclement and suppression of the enemy, it is inevitable that you will eventually suffer defeat.

However, Xia En didn't feel sad for the death of the projection body for a moment. Instead, he only felt that this wave was not a loss.

His projections are endless.

The number of vampires in the secret realm is always limited.

Let’s see who can outlast whom!

Later, Xia En looked at these trophies.

His eyes lingered on option 4 for a moment, and his mood was a little subtle.

"Why legs? And also emphasize the inclusion of feet?"

"Besides, it turns out that vampire corpses are also good materials?"

[Pasan Faron’s Eyeballs]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Type: Material]

[Description: The eyeball of a vampire. 】

[After special processing and matching with other materials, it can be made into one-time props such as "Detective Eyes" and "Profane Poison". 】

[Pharmaceuticals are risky, so be careful when smelting them. 】

If you think about it carefully, the corpse of such an extraordinary creature already contains a certain amount of secret power, so it's not surprising that it can be used as a material.

"It seems that among the thirty-two secret paths, there are professions like [alchemist] and [potionist]?"

"Giving extraordinary materials to such professionals is of great use."

"Unfortunately, I can't use it for the time being."

Xia En didn't hesitate and quickly chose the [Bloodstone Necklace].

This is also a relic of that "Lisa Seth".

The strength of this vampire woman was not inferior to that of the old gentleman, and she caused a lot of trouble to Xia En during the siege.

And Xia En knows the essence of group fighting——

Rather than soaking both rain and dew, it is better to grab one and beat him to death.

Therefore, he chased Lisa Seth for three streets, and then he was surrounded by vampires and beat her to death, thus obtaining this [Bloodstone Necklace].

After a thought.

A necklace composed of several blood-colored crystals appeared in Xia En's hand.

This "blood stone" is different from the gems and crystals in Xia En's impression.

Its surface has a warm temperature and even feels a little soft, as if it is touching the skin of a living person.

If you look closely, you can find that there are many fine and tiny secret patterns on it.

Inside, there seemed to be viscous liquid flowing.

【Bloodstone Necklace】

[Quality: Rare]

[Type: Equipment]

[Description: A necklace made of blessed bloodstone, which has a calming effect. 】

[After wearing it, it can moderately increase magic affinity, spell casting concentration, and stability. 】

[Bloodstone is a product secreted by the "Crimson Ancient Tree" after absorbing blood. It is a rare extraordinary material. 】

[It is also the backup food for vampires. 】

The necklace itself is not particularly special. It can only be said to be a good piece of extraordinary equipment, more suitable for spell casters.

But the information in the description made Xia En quite concerned.

"Bloodstone...Crimson ancient tree..."

There was a look of thought in his eyes.

It's obvious.

Even if there are methods such as dormancy and deep sleep, the desire to drink blood engraved deep in the blood of the vampires is difficult to eliminate.

So, how should they solve this physiological need during the long period between [Blood Moon Nights]?

The blood stone in Xia En's hand is undoubtedly the answer.

Preserve concentrated blood in a solid state without losing its original activity.

A perfect food reserve was born.

In the process, it also acquires mysterious and extraordinary characteristics.

"However, there are no restrictions on the use of bloodstones that can only be used by vampires."

"Perhaps this can also be regarded as a secret treasure for some secret travelers?"

"And the [Crimson Ancient Tree]... sounds like a good thing from the name. It might be able to produce something similar to a magic potion."

from this angle.

The secret treasure legend about the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is not completely fabricated.

It’s just that ordinary explorers may not have the chance to see them.

After thinking for a moment, Shane walked to the deck, ready to take a few breaths of fresh air.

If you stay in the decadent and depressing environment of [Blood Moon Secret Realm] for a long time, you will have problems sooner or later.

"Mr. Captain!"

Joey, who was reading on the deck, was the first to notice his arrival and greeted him with a smile.

[Scholar] This secret path is just like its name. It requires accumulating a lot of knowledge before you can move to the next step.

Therefore, the process of reading itself is actually a kind of practice.

It just so happens that Joey is also a good kid who loves to learn.

——Her trait of knowing a little bit about everything is exactly a sign of being good at learning.

It's just that because of my poor life when I was young, I didn't have the opportunity to study.

Now that there was money on the ship, Xia En simply bought a batch of books covering history, geography, magic, cooking and other fields for her to enjoy.

Shane was originally worried that Joey didn’t have a teacher and didn’t know how to get started.

Who would have thought that An actually volunteered and took on the responsibility of being a teacher.

Only then did Xia En realize that this knight was actually extremely knowledgeable!

But when asked where he learned this knowledge, An said he didn't know either.

In his words——

[It's like... a long time ago, someone planted the seeds of these knowledge in my mind. 】

[As I grow, they grow naturally. 】

Shane can only regard it as the "racial talent" of the elves.

At this time, An was conducting unique training in the other corner of the deck.

His body covered in thick armor kept assuming strange poses one after another.

The movements are very slow, but every posture seems to exercise most of the muscles in the body, and is extremely energy-consuming.

At the same time, the breath coming from under the armor carried an indescribable mysterious rhythm.

One exhale, one inhale.

Together with the beating of the heart and the flow of blood, it forms an extremely harmonious ensemble.

[Knight training method]

[Knight Breathing Technique]

These two secret techniques are the knowledge that An Zai generated in his mind after he was promoted to [Knight].

——By the way, after binding An as a crew member, Xia En also learned this skill.

Look at the knight in front of you.

Even without using [Blood Sense], Xia En could detect that this knight was getting stronger bit by bit.

Be down-to-earth and accumulate a lot of experience.

Undoubtedly the best evaluation of An.

Although there is no such exaggerated growth rate as Xia En, the two crew members are still moving forward steadily on their own paths.

Xia En felt a little relieved.

After thinking about it, he handed the [Bloodstone Necklace] to Joey.

"……This is?"

"This little gift for you may be helpful to your practice of magic."

Joey took the necklace and immediately felt how extraordinary it was.

The active secret power is flowing in the necklace.

However, this bloody crystal reminded her of the huge blood moon on the sea.

But Joey didn't ask anything, just nodded heavily.

"Thank you, Mr. Captain!"

The fact of being on a boat for so long.

Both Joey and An were vaguely aware of what was special about Xia En from some clues.

There is only the last layer of window paper left between us and the truth.

It's just that both parties tacitly understood it and didn't expose it.

Wow!

At this moment, the sound of water coming from the sea attracted Xia En's attention.

He turned to look.

I saw several sailors jumping into the sea on a nearby salvage boat.

The faces of these people were full of excitement and anticipation.

They had no idea what kind of danger would be waiting for them under the blood moon.

Moreover, not only this ship, but also many ships on Silver Moon Bay sent their second batch of crew members to the sea today.

There are even some ships that actually just arrived near Silver Moon Island today.

It is foreseeable that in the next month, there will be batches of treasure hunters who will join the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] without hesitation.

For the vampires, this must be a sumptuous feast.

To be honest, Xia En didn't actually care too much about the life and death of these outsiders.

You choose your own path, and you have to bear the cost.

But just these two submarine explorations...

Xia En discovered that after drinking enough blood, the strength of the vampires would increase to varying degrees.

To put it simply, when the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] first opened, these vampires were actually in a "hungry" and "weak" state.

But with the influx of treasure hunters, they will gradually return to their heyday.

The difficulty of the entire [Blood Moon Secret Realm] will also continue to increase.

When Xia En was thinking.

Dang...dang...

Several bells rang not far away.

He looked up, but couldn't help but frown slightly.

On the sea, I saw a huge ship with a siren sail, sailing towards the Black Swan surrounded by waves!

Thanks to "Tao Yuanming" for the 100 coin reward! Thank you so much!

Renovation started upstairs today, and I even had to go to the library to code. I felt... extremely ashamed!
