Chapter 281: Technique: Dive to Reduce the Distance
Splash!
Golden waves rippled in the sea under the scorching sun.
“Roar!”
Suddenly, a dragon bellowed, the sound of which reminded one of the tidal waves crashing against the reef. A transparent dragon about ten ters long jumped out of the sea and flew up into the sky.
“Roar... Roar... Roar...”
Right after that, the sea in a 30-ter radius fluctuated violently.
One after another, dragons made of the seawater flew up into the sky. There were eight of them in total, and they all danced around in the air.
A ninth one seed to be on its way up, but before it could take shape, the other water dragons all dissipated, turning into a downpour and white mist.
“I’m still not there yet!
“Both my Dragon-Subduing Strike and the Yin and Yang Sutra will need so practice before they can reach perfection!”
Ji Ye moved to the surface. Together with the white mist that had filled the air, the water in his clothes was sucked out by an invisible power before flying into a jade pendant on his waist. It seed to be made of ice and was covered by a layer of mist.
[Ice Dragon Pendant]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-8]
[Rarity: Excellent]
[Description: The treasure has absorbed the Extraordinary power of the Icepick and was fused with the power of the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique and the power of Flood Dragon. It has the ability to turn a certain amount of seawater within a range into ice or mist.]
Ji Ye fused the Eye Painting Brush three days ago, and after a long cooldown ti, the talent was finally ready to be used again.
But he didn’t fuse the Shield of Red Dragon or Incomplete Magic Slate obtained from the battle against the Ghostship, the Tyrant Lizards, and the Snake Monkey. Instead, just like with the Jade Dragon Sword, she chose a “complex fusion”.
He used the Extraordinary Rank-7 Icepick dropped by the head of the Yuan Water Demon as the basic ingredient and fused it with so special materials he obtained from the Battlefield of Providence, as well as his own Dragon Aura and Flood Dragon Blood. Using a refinent thod recorded in the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique, he finally obtained this weapon.
Although it wasn’t all that rare, it was a piece of equipnt that suited him perfectly.
More importantly, because it contained the power of the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique, which was enhanced after Ji Ye’s ntal power reached Extraordinary Rank-7, after the fusion, Ji Ye had also mastered two new techniques related to water, which were [Ride the Mist] and [Dive to Reduce the Distance]!
The na of the first one was quite self-explanatory, while the second one was worth ntioning.
“Just like the na suggested, ‘Dive to Reduce the Distance’ was a skill similar to ‘Distance Reduction’.”
In fact, “Distance Reduction” was part of this new skill, hence the “reduce the distance” part of the na.
The “dive” indicated that apart from moving underground, Ji Ye could also use water to quickly move around.
More importantly, when Ji Ye activated the skill in the water, he could beco completely invisible.
Whoosh!
White light flashed, and the next second, Ji Ye was already 30m away.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
There were a few more flashes, and Ji Ye appeared on the beach 150m away.
“Yes, it’s over 100m now. In about two weeks’ ti, it will transform completely into a piece of land,” said Ji Ye.
He turned around and studied the Twin Dragon Island.
It had been half a month since they destroyed the settlents of the lizards and the Snake Monkey. During this ti, the Twin Dragon Island had devoured the providence cores of both races and turned the new island into their own territory.
With the power of providence, they had changed the sea between the two islands into land. From above, the map of the island now looked like a gourd, and they had much more space to use.
They had analyzed the function of the black-and-red rocks that had ford the settlent of the lizards. It was a type of tal with a special morizing function. Buildings made of such stones not only could resist and absorb fire and toxin, but they could also self-restore when they were destroyed.
Because of that, the training camp of new combative players had been officially transford there. They had even set up corresponding training courts for cold steel and firearms respectively.
Yes, firearms!
After obtaining the chanical equipnt and the Fire Oil Refining Device of the Snake Monkey, nearly half of the new players were allocated to the firearm team.
Other than that, about 1/10 of the new players were qualified to enter the Land of Radiation guarded by the settlent soldiers to enjoy the hot spring.
With the help of the power of providence of the Twin Dragon Mount, the efficiency of the Radiation Hot Spring had been greatly improved. After the hot spring bath, 10 of such new players obtained special abilities.
“It looks so tempting. I’d love to take a bite!”
While Ji Ye passed the Land of Radiation from above, walking on clouds, below in the Radiation Hot Spring, Mister Bug’s eyes shone brightly as he drooled over sothing.
Yes, his eyes had lit up. He was the only veteran who couldn’t wait to jump into the hot spring before they could collect any data from the new players.
Luck was on his side. Instead of having severe side effects, he had gained a special ability. When his mind was focused, his eyes could give off a bright light.
Yes. They were bright enough to be used as powerful flashlights on a moonless night.
According to An Quan, they were similar to Cyclops’ eyes, the type that could give up unbelievably bright light. If the ability could be properly developed, it could beco so powerful that he could kill soone just by staring at them!
But from what An Quan had told the others in private, Sun Congxin (Mister Bug’s real na) had been rinsing his eyes with hot spring water every day because he tried to gain a different type of special ability for his eyes...
“Hey, Boss Sun, don’t stare at like that. You’re making uneasy...” shouted a male voice.
Opposite Mister Bug was a giant pot-stewed drumstick. It was giving off white steam, and its color looked very inviting. Mister Bug’s eyes slowly lost their focus, and he even held up a small knife.
The drumstick imdiately transford back to a male player, who had covered his private part and looked alard.
“Hey! Don’t change back just yet!
“Let cut you open and see if your special ability has changed your inside as well! With the black mud in our settlent, I can repair you even if I cut you in half. Anyway, there’s also the master’s Heal talent to save you. You won’t die...”
Mister Bug stared at the fair-skinned new player.
“Please don’t do that, Boss Sun. I can only change my appearance with my special ability. Plus, I’m not advanced enough. The most I can do is to mimic other people’s faces...”
“Hm? Why was I told that the first day after your special ability woke up, you changed your body to sothing else and showed it to your roommates...”
Their voices slowly turned into whispers.
“What the heck?”
Up in the clouds, Ji Ye picked up the conversation with his True Seer and rolled his eyes.
After that, a swirl suddenly appeared in the hot spring. The two n were dragged into the pool, and they almost choked on the water.
The past two weeks had been quite uneventful.
With the Souls of Civilization dropped by the Snake Monkey and lizards, the settlent had used them to summon over a dozen special force soldiers and several non-combative Quasi-commander heroes.
The only important event was that with the modern knowledge brought by Su Ming, the senior engineer of Chidragon Shipbuilding Group, ng Kang the Jade Flagpole finally used a great number of resources to complete the Mirage Dragon Ship.
Other than that, the problem with food still existed.
The dead lizards and Snake Monkeys could provide enough at for settlent mbers to replenish their energy.
But because both creatures had intelligence, so people found it uncomfortable to eat them.
Moreover, their at wasn’t exactly tasty. Even with careful preparation, they still didn’t taste good.
Luckily, every now and then, different monsters would enter the Twin Dragon Island territory through the mist and beca a new source of food!
Over a week ago, Husky was happily flying around in the air after it made a breakthrough into Extraordinary Rank-3 when an intruding Commander pterosaur caught sight of it. The pterosaur chased Husky all the way to the Eagle n’s peak, where Ji Ye was cultivating in seclusion...
After that, the pterosaur arrived at the kitchen of the Twin Dragon Island.
“What a pity! This is an Extraordinary creature with the Giant Dragon Bloodline!
“You should have caught it alive and raised it in the settlent. We can cut a piece of its at every ti and heal it with the black mud. Keep doing that, and we can have Extraordinary food all the ti!”
Hao Dahai, the “Great Chef” on the island who was about to reach Extraordinary Rank-7, wasn’t too happy to see the dead pterosaur.
In fact, when the Twin Dragon Island didn’t have that much at and people were complaining, Chef Hao had done such things.
He could divide a 50g into 100 pieces. The slices were so thin that they were practically transparent.
Therefore, the people on the island would love to see alien races that had sothing to do with cows, lobsters, and abalones!
