Chapter 383: The rich water does not flow into outsiders’ fields.
As the giant ship shook violently, the scenery of the dock began to retreat backward. The ship set sail from the harbor and headed out to sea.
Alongside Xiao Ni, he stood by the ship’s rail and waved goodbye to Professor Jin and two other Descenders. The speed of the giant ship increased, quickly leaving the port behind, and in less than half an hour, the entire island was reduced to a re shadow.
The ocean was vast and boundless, with waters of a dark blue hue, looking both deep and gloomy down by the edge of the ship’s rail, as if the abyss itself was staring back at you.
“Let’s go inside the cabin, I’ve heard it’s not very safe on the sea.”
Outside the world in the Fortress, Lin Xiao sat on the platform and exhaled softly. This avatar was lucky; it had already set on the right track.
Just waiting to reach the main continent and join the Totem Master School, with the aid of the Creation Magic Cube, he was bound to rapidly climb to the pinnacle. Perhaps this ti there was a chance to go to the very end and beco a Totem Lord.
Speaking of which, he was even more surprised that the Creation Magic Cube could also be used this way. Through the Cube’s sharing function, he could directly communicate with the Incarnation, though there was a slight ti lag due to different ti flows in different worlds, which prevented real-ti communication, but it was many tis better than no communication at all.
Moreover, he could use the Creation Magic Cube as a conduit to transfer necessary items. Whatever the Descended needed, the True Body could directly send it down, which was like having a cheat in real-ti, incredibly thrilling.
The only regret was that the Creation Magic Cube could not transfer living beings; otherwise, sending down a batch of Supre Nagas or even legendary mbers of the Nagas Clan would be exceedingly exhilarating.
“Hmm, next I should prepare so advanced equipnt for him.”
Lin Xiao pinched his chin, recalling the two children’s toys given to him by his girlfriend. With a flick of his hand, a small sword emitting a faint light and a pair of wings with slowly undulating radiance appeared. After pondering for a mont, he pointed with his hand, and a surge of golden Divine Power flowed out and infused them.
While he was preparing several pieces of equipnt for his Descended Incarnation, he suddenly heard Jin Sisi’s voice in his ear:
“I just received news that soone in the Nightmare World has successfully beco a Totem Lord. They are now escalating the Descending effort. The Fortress military is convening a eting with all the major forces, and it’s expected they will also increase the scale of Descending.”
“Totem Lord!”
According to the hierarchy of Strength, a Totem Lord was equivalent to a level above Legend but below a True God. In other words, a Descended Child of Nightmare in the Nightmare World had stepped into the level equivalent to a Legendary Totem Lord, which wasn’t exactly good news for them.
Each Totem Lord in this world was quite a renowned figure and had co to the attention of the world’s will. They had already obtained certain authorities and corresponded to Divine Realm civilization, much like those who had just opened the Divine Realm or Nightmare Realm.
That was precisely why the Gaia Will placed such importance on this world—the power system here was truly incredible, bearing traces of both a pantheon of gods and a Divine Realm civilization.
Lin Xiao did not know how the Divine Realm of humans or Nightmare Realm of Nightmare World, or rather the Spirit Realm civilization that opened Spirit Realms, ca about, or if they suddenly existed, or slowly evolved like this Totem civilization. In any case, if he were in charge, he would definitely not allow such a civilization to grow.
But these matters were of no concern to him now. Whether the Fortress decided to increase the Descending scale was irrelevant to him. His concern was to survive and beco stronger. When his Incarnation could also grow into a Totem Lord, then he would be soone of note who could be of help.
The two little trinkets were already quite stable. He didn’t add any extra attributes; instead, he stored a vast amount of Divine Power within them for charging and attached one powerful defensive spell and one powerful attack spell, each usable only once.
Afterward, he tossed the small sword and wings into the Creation Magic Cube.
It was several months out at sea when Lin Xiao’s Incarnation discovered the Sword of Angel and Angel’s Wings. By this ti, the giant ship had long been deep in the ocean, having left the safe zone and entered the dangerous waters.
Though the escorts on the ship did not restrict them from going on deck and only warned them upon entering dangerous waters, they were all wise enough not to cause trouble, staying mostly inside the cabin or their rooms without venturing out.
“Boom!”
A white-hot lightning bolt crossed countless kiloters from the sky into the sea, with endless bolts flitting through the thick clouds, an awe-inspiring display of nature’s might.
The sound of fine rain quickly intensified. Lin Xiao stood at the window on the third floor of the giant ship and watched as the multitude of raindrops rapidly linked together, growing heavier and soon filling the world with a constant roar, while moist air carrying the tang of salt assaulted his face.
The howling wind and torrential rain, lightning and giant waves, successive 20 to 30-ter-high waves ferociously struck against the ship’s rail, throwing up a spray that blanketed the sky.
Since entering the deep sea, the weather had beco unpredictable, tranquil one mont and within the blink of an eye, the sky would turn dark within minutes, followed by roaring winds and towering waves.
Far off, the sea was churned up by a vortex, forming towering water spouts thousands of ters high that spanned the turbulent ocean surface—a sight both spectacular and staggering.
This rare spectacle held Lin Xiao’s rapt attention as he faced the oncoming spray.
Suddenly, a towering water spout thousands of ters tall trembled violently out in the distance. Then, a vast expanse of black water below shot up, larger in diater than the spout itself, shattering the water spout on the spot. The endless sea parted to reveal a vast blue-black back, while several enormous tentacles erged from the sea bed, slapping the ocean surface and creating colossal splashes.
Lin Xiao felt as if struck by so enormous creature, jolting backward to sit abruptly on the ground, dazed. Nosebleed trickled slowly from his nostrils, taking over ten seconds to regain his senses. He wiped off the blood, eyes filled with a hint of fear and relief.
Sitting on the floor, he didn’t stand up for a while. The ntal shock had been too intense, and he hadn’t recovered yet.
A Super Demon, that glimpse just now revealed the terrifying existence of a Super Demon.
Fortunately, it had only surfaced to breathe. Had it targeted them, the large ship would not have withstood its impact, and it would easily have been smashed to pieces and plunged into the sea.
While he felt relieved, suddenly the ship violently shook, then quickly rose and heavily crashed back into the sea. In mid-air, he faintly heard the cracking sound of the hull breaking, and his heart shuddered and fell along with the ship. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a massive tentacle sweep past the gaping fracture.
“Damn it!”
Had that creature really set its sights on their ship?
He quickly took out the Angel’s Wings and the Sword of Angel from the Magic Cube Space, and then firmly pressed against the wooden boards in the corner of the room.
The nearly three-hundred-ter-long ship flew hundreds of ters before crashing down again, its hull imdiately splintering, especially the keel at its base, which was directly broken by the trendous force, compromising the ship’s structure and letting seawater pour in through the cracks. Amidst the storm, the giant ship was slowly sinking.
“Shit, do I have the protagonist’s calamity constitution? Even taking a boat is problematic.”
He was simply at a loss for words.
However, he soon found his earlier worry was unnecessary; the unknown Super Demon hadn’t targeted them after all. It was just passing by underwater and accidentally collided with their ship, breaking the keel before disappearing into the sea without a trace.
It wasn’t until they were sure it had left that the cloaked figures tasked with protecting the ship began to co out to repair it.
Fortunately, the ship was big and sturdy enough. Though the keel had snapped and cracked, there were only a few large breaches, and it was still repairable.
At the summoning of the cloaked figures, everyone was mobilized to go down to the bottom of the ship to repair it, and Lin Xiao was assigned to remove wooden planks from the ship to plug the breaches at the bottom.
Along with Xiao Ni, he carried a wooden plank over twenty centiters thick and several ters long down to the ship’s bottom, where he saw several cloaked figures standing in the water-filled hold, holding out their hands and creating an invisible force that sealed the several-ter-wide gap, keeping the seawater out.
One of the cloaked figures saw them and pointed to a crack above the waterline, shouting:
“Bring it here, seal it up!”
There weren’t many among the cloaked figures who could pull off this feat. They could only seal the bottom of the ship, and they didn’t have the manpower to deal with parts above the waterline. As the wind and waves surged, wave after wave of giant waves crashed in, bringing copious amounts of icy seawater over the waterline and into the ship.
Lin Xiao and Xiao Ni struggled to carry the plank over, where several people were already working to repair another section. One of the youths looked up at them and gave a strange smile.
“He’s a Child of Nightmare.”
Xiao Ni whispered to Lin Xiao, lowering his voice:
“Be careful, don’t let them play any tricks.”
He nodded, and as he was about to throw the plank onto the crack, suddenly sothing brushed past where his foot had just been, nailing itself onto the deck—it was a large nail, shot from the direction of the Children of Nightmare, but it was unclear who had fired it.
“Interesting!”
Lin Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly, and just as he was about to retaliate, he sensed sothing and looked up. He caught the gaze of one of the cloaked figures, then heard a scream. He quickly turned to see that one of the smirking Children of Nightmare had sohow fallen into the crack, with the others trying to pull him up.
“Quite ferocious!”
The fate of this guy interrupted the slight caution that had just risen within him. Obviously, with the ship sustaining such severe damage, the few cloaked escorts were in a foul mood, and this person had taken the brunt of their anger.
However, given the shortage of hands on deck, especially after the recent calamity that had claid many lives, they had only ted out a small punishnt instead of casting him off completely.
But then suddenly, there was a scream. The body sliding into the crack convulsed violently, blood gushed out, and then they saw a dark figure biting up along the victim’s body. Another Child of Nightmare picked up a hamr and smashed it down on the strange fish, dragging the unfortunate Child of Nightmare down with long fleshy antennae, hurling it back into the sea. Lin Xiao, with his keen spiritual awareness, vaguely saw the man struggling fiercely in the near-dark blue seawater, but he was quickly bitten in half by another strange fish.
With the sudden death, the nearby area fell into silence, and everyone lost the heart for further scheming, quickly covering and nailing down the wooden planks.
“Bang!”
The plank that had just been nailed twice shook violently.
