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

The moment he wakes up.

Xia En's first reaction was not to observe the surrounding environment, but to return his consciousness to his original body.

After confirming that he could still wake up at any time in the captain's cabin, he quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought it was so powerful, but it just drove my projection body out."

There was a new status on his panel.

【Exile Brand】

[Type: Status]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Description: The brand jointly imposed by the blood clan chiefs in the "Blood Moon Secret Realm" carries the will of the Scarlet Lord. 】

[Before this state is lifted, you can no longer enter the "Blood Moon Secret Realm". 】

"Sure enough, you still pushed them into a hurry..."

Xia En sighed in his heart.

In fact, before this, the vampires had tried to restrict his movements by sealing and imprisoning him.

But due to the special mechanism of the projection body, none of their methods were effective.

But this time, the Vampires learned a lesson and expelled the projection body directly.

It fully explains "If I can't offend you, why can't I hide from you?"

This [Exile Brand] is obviously using mechanism against mechanism to forcibly isolate Xia En from the [Blood Moon Secret Realm].

I have to say that this is actually a very correct choice.

For a moment, Xia En really didn't know how to remove this brand.

Fortunately, in terms of mechanism, he is still superior after all.

"In the worst case, I'll give up exploring the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], leave Silver Moon Island, and continue to develop elsewhere."

After confirming that he could still advance or retreat, Xia En started to look around.

"So, where is this place?"

This is a dark space that is far different from the [Blood Moon Secret Realm].

The surrounding light was extremely dim, and it was unclear where the light source came from.

However, this is not a big deal to Xia En, who has [Ateless Touch].

But after seeing the scene around him clearly, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

What you see is a desolate and vast dark plain.

There was nothing on the nearby plain, except for what looked like giant trees standing very far away.

Crunch…

Xia En took a step forward, and suddenly felt a very disgusting touch under his feet.

He looked down and saw that the "soil" under his feet was dark red in color, as sticky and slippery as mud.

Seems dirty and weird.

"What a disgusting thing, and it seems to be alive?"

As soon as Xia En had such an idea, an uncomfortable squirming sound sounded from beside him.

He turned his head and saw an shapeless monster emerging from the dark red ground!

It looks like an amorphous mass of red and black mud, but the center of the mud is constantly squirming, changing into a reluctant human form.

It's like... it's crudely imitating the human form, but it can't turn into a real human being.

"New monster?"

Xia En was a little surprised at first, and then his eyes lit up.

If the monsters here can also give ship soul experience, wouldn't it be just what he wanted?

As for experience, where should I brush it instead of brushing it?

Thinking of this, Xia En immediately pulled out the [Blood Demonic Sword] from his back.

Compared with more than half a month ago, this bloody sword has changed a lot.

The most obvious thing is that the dark lines on the sword have increased from one to more than ten!

Lines of varying thickness, like blood vessels, are distributed on the sword, and are still squirming and trembling.

This is exactly the transformation that occurs after absorbing the souls and blood of the vampires.

The name of this weapon also became [Blood Demonic Sword (Deirdre, Ezkiel, Tivan...)]

A strong aura of evil and malice lingers around the dark red sword body, making people shudder just by looking at it.

From this perspective.

It seems natural that Xia En would get such a weird nickname like "Shadow of the Faceless".

At this time, he drew his sword and slashed at the mud monster.

laugh!

The ugly head fell to the ground.

The mud monster trembled, fell down, and quickly merged into the dark red soil.

"……Um?"

Xia En raised his eyebrows.

This battle process seems a bit too easy.

But at the same time, there is no display of killing monsters on the panel, nor is there an option to absorb [Secret Sea Crystal].

"How is this going?"

"Is it because there is no [Secret Sea Crystal] in its body, or... it is not dead?"

Shane tried to touch the remaining "mud" on the ground with his hand.

【Desecration of flesh and blood】

[Type: Material]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Description: The residue left after digestion of the "Crimson Ancient Tree". 】

[Affected by the mysterious power in the "Secret Sea", the remaining soul and power in the flesh and blood are awakened. It will neither die completely nor give birth to new life, and becomes a real blasphemy. 】

[Flesh and blood, wailing...]

"It's [Crimson Ancient Tree] again?"

Shane frowned in thought.

It is known that [Blood Stone] is the secretion of [Crimson Ancient Tree] after absorbing blood.

[Desecration of flesh and blood] is the waste after digestion.

It shows that although this mysterious space is not in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], it may not be too far away.

What worries Xia En even more is the influence of the power of the [Secret Sea] in the description.

"Since the power of the secret sea can penetrate here..."

"Wait, is this here?"

Xia En suddenly raised his head and looked at the "sky" in this space.

The "sky" here is obviously much lower than in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm].

What’s shocking is…

This sky is broken!

Some indescribable but real cracks are spread across the chaotic and dark sky.

Some bright lights and shadows and flickering turbulence are quietly seeping out from the cracks, turning into a weak light source here.

Seeing this scene, Xia En thought in his heart.

Obviously, that is the [Secret Sea]!

Moreover, the situation is slightly different from the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. The distance between this space and the [Secret Sea] is obviously closer and the relationship is closer.

During the exploration of the front-end time, Xia En also deliberately went to the boundary of the city to take a look, trying to see if he could enter the [Secret Sea] in reverse direction.

The final answer was no.

When he reaches the city limits, he feels an extremely strong resistance.

It seems that the [Secret Sea] is right in front of you, but it seems to be separated by an invisible "film" and "barrier".

It not only serves as a protective umbrella against the intrusion of the power of the [Secret Sea], but also hinders the departure of insiders.

But in this space, Xia En seemed to be unable to sense the existence of the "barrier", and even had the illusion that he could break through the sky and leave.

"A place closer to the secret sea than the secret realm..."

Xia En already had a guess in his mind, but it still needed to be verified.

He looked at the shadowy trees in the distance and thought: "Could those tree-like existences be the so-called [Crimson Ancient Trees]?"

I don’t know why, while looking at the shadows of those trees.

Xia En had an inexplicable urge to get close and watch.

This impulse was subtly similar to the call he heard when he was promoted to first-class captain.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Shane's mind.

"The most critical step for a Mystic Pathfinder to advance is to be inspired by the Mystic Sea."

"But this feeling is often mysterious and mysterious, and you need to use magic potions to enhance your inspiration to experience it."

"But now... I am in a place that is infinitely close to the secret sea. If I call the secret sea in turn and approach it, will it respond?"

The boldness of this idea is no less than that "the secret sea is also a sea and can also be submerged."

But Xia En is a projection body anyway.

Since you won't die even if you try to die, why don't you dare to give it a try?

If you can touch the second-level promotion ritual, it is worth taking some risks!

Xia En visually measured the height of the sky and confirmed that he couldn't jump that high, and he couldn't master the ability to turn blood into wings to fly.

He moved decisively towards the shadows of those extremely tall trees.

Those "trees" are so tall that they seem to be inserted into the sky.

If you climb up along them, you can probably touch the broken sky.

Coupled with the suspected identity of [Crimson Ancient Tree], go and explore, I think you will gain something.

However, as soon as Xia En started to move, there was that disgusting squirming sound around him.

The dark red mud, which did not contain any biological tissue, began to stand up twistedly from the ground, stretched out its inhuman-like arms, and walked towards Xia En slowly but resolutely.

"Could this thing be voice-controlled?"

Xia En's heart skipped a beat and he secretly complained.

It's okay if he doesn't move, but once he moves, he will attract the attention of [Desecrate Flesh and Blood].

In just a moment, several mud monsters appeared around Xia En.

"It seems... we must fight quickly!"

Xia En held a big sword and ran wildly in the direction of the tree shadow, sweeping away the mud monsters along the way.

In fact, this monster's individual strength is not very strong, and its movements can even be described as "slow."

But the problem is...

The plain of this space is covered with such a layer of [blasphemous flesh and blood]!

At first, only a few scattered monsters stood up and surrounded Xia En.

But soon, the entire land began to slowly rise and fall!

boom!

Accompanied by a roar, the surging speed of the flesh and blood mud suddenly accelerated, a large number of bubbles surged, and an indescribable whine echoed across the flesh and blood plain.

Immediately afterwards, a three-meter-tall flesh and blood giant stood up out of thin air and strode towards Xia En in front of him.

Xia En turned around and swept across with his sword!

The flesh and blood giant was cut in half, and the upper half of his body crashed to the ground.

But then, another five-meter-tall mud monster stood in front of him.

Seeing this scene, even Xia En couldn't help but his eyelids twitched slightly.

Just like the description of [Desecration of Flesh and Blood], the monsters here cannot be killed!

He simply ignored the mud monsters that appeared around him and ran at full speed across the plain of flesh and blood.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Chased by countless monsters, Xia En's ship soul power fell rapidly.

But before the projected body completely dissipated, he still saw the true appearance of those "tree shadows"!
