Chapter 614 - Deep Sea and Getting Close

Chapter 614: Deep Sea and Getting Close

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Ship is indeed worthy of the name of ‘ninja’. There is actually no attack weapon. Judging from the offensiveness of the dark elementals, the key to this problem is technical. In an underwater environment, a cannon is definitely not usable including the dark golden ‘cannon bombs’ in the dark element ships.

After Chen Rui and the others dived into the seabed, the undead ships on the sea were really helpless. Although ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Ship’’ was just a tortoise, its depth and underwater speed were quite commendable. The undead ship which could not sink into the seabed was not comparable to it at all. They got rid of the scope of the undead fleet soon.

Chen Rui was not idle either. The dark elementals and the sailors of the Devil’s Snare Ship had suffered heavy casualties in previous battles. He was busy treating the wounded. The healing potion was useless for the elementals, but one of Chen Rui’s items played a big role, that was the Yuan Recovery Tree.

Yuan Recovery Tree——Attribute: Healing, fixed timing. Restores the stamina and magic power within the range of healing. The function can be timed; the longest life span is one month.

For the dark elementals, the magic power of the Yuan Recovery Tree was much better than the healing magic effect of the water elementals. Even the dark elementals that had been severely injured received unexpected healing and recovery effects.

Regardless of any grudges and grievances, everyone was really in the same boat now. Hegel’s hostility toward Chen Rui had also eased a lot unconsciously.

Chen Rui asked, “Your Highness Hegel, can you sense the direction of the origin fragment in this environment?”

“At the Hidden Misty Island, I still had a strong sense of the origin fragment. But just after entering the range of the Nether Sea. Sometimes I feel close at hand, and sometimes I feel that it’s far away.” Hegel’s tone was solemn, “Up to now, we are still under the monitoring and interference of a certain person behind the scene even if we sink to this depth of the sea. This invisible opponent is the most difficult to deal with. Moreover, our energy and combat power are not infinite. Once we are exhausted, I’m not sure whether we can escape alive.”

“Dodo.” Chen Rui called and took out the treasure map. The slime immediately turned into a glasses helmet. The golden light dot on the treasure map had been closer than when they first entered the Nether Sea, but the current direction seemed to start to deviate.

“Your Highness Hegel, in this situation, I can say that the treasure and the origin fragment must be closely related. Or the 2 are in the same place. Since your sensing has been unable to determine the location, shall we advance according to this map’s instructions? If you arrive at the treasure location, but there is no origin fragment that Your Highness needs, then it’s not too late for us to look for other locations.”

Hegel glanced at the treasure map in Chen Rui’s hand, then he glanced at the strange “helmet” and he finally nodded.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Ship began to change course and dived toward the spot marked on the map.

As time passed, 3 days have unconsciously passed.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Ship had a lot of space. With sufficient oxygen supply, food provided in Chen Rui’s storage space and the Yuan Recovery Tree function, the nagas have recovered well from their injuries. Dodo finally could feast relaxedly, but this was the bottom of the sea where they couldn’t feel day and night. They could only calculate the time by estimation.

Perhaps due to a coincidence, the monitoring of the crystal ball didn’t spot a living creature in the sea during this journey. This was somewhat similar to the situation on the Hidden Misty Island. The reason for the Hidden Misty Island was that all animals except plants had been sucked up by the mirage. But the Hidden Misty Island was just an island. In contrast, in such a large area of ??the Nether Sea area, it was quite creepy when there was no sea creature or fish or shrimp.

Just as Chen Rui walked out of the magic tent after waking up, there was a violent shake. Even the light of the nearby magic lamp began to flicker. The nagas and elementals all showed vigilant expressions. Soon, another shake came as if the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Ship was struck by something.

A black smoke came and turned into a dark elemental figure, “Sir Aguile, His Highness Hegel invites you to go to the command cabin immediately.”

Chen Rui hurriedly walked toward the command cabin. Strena and others followed closely. There was constant shaking along the way. In the command cabin, Chen Rui saw Hegel with a solemn face, “We are attacked by the enemy and we must take action immediately.”

Chen Rui’s gaze turned to the 5 crystal balls. Judging from the images displayed by the crystal balls, there seemed to be a lot of enemies. The enemies’ visual information that vaguely appeared in the illumination actually had long bodies; they violently hit against the Dark God Ship.

“They could not break the defense of the Dark God Ship for a while, but we can’t continue like this. Once the important systems are destroyed, most of the sailors here are in danger of being buried on the seabed.” Hegel’s gaze was fixed on Chen Rui, “You lead a group of people to go out of the combat hatch immediately. Eliminate these enemies as quickly as possible.”

If Chen Rui had just entered the Dark God Ship, he would definitely think that Hegel was using him to kill others, but now he already knew that the Dark God Ship was controlled by the Dark Elemental King’s personal will, so Hegel was equivalent to this “submarine’s” core power and controller. His every movement would affect the whole ship. It was really not suitable for him to fight personally especially in this kind of deep sea environment.

Thinking of this, Chen Rui nodded without scruples, “Okay.”

“I’ll go with you.” Strena spoke up. The water elementals and the nagas on the side also expressed their willingness to go together. Considering the deep sea and strength issues, Strena did not agree with the nagas to go out.

“Your Highness, you should ask him to hand over that treasure map before going.” The elite dark elemental, Helor, suddenly interjected. This intention was obviously unusual.

Chen Rui’s eyes finally narrowed this time. He just looked at Hegel without saying anything.

“Helor!” Hegel snorted as a red light flickered in his eyes as if shooting at Helor, “Do you think your power can already surpass my will?”

Helor didn’t dare to look at him directly. He quickly bowed and said, “Your Highness, I didn’t mean that, but...”

“Great, then you go with them.” A cold red light flashed in Hegel’s eyes.

Helor struggled for a moment, but he didn’t justify or resist. He saluted, “Yes.”

The water elementals gave Chen Rui and Strena 2 seaweeds, ” This is the gillyweed. After eating, it is equivalent to the magic of underwater breathing. It can last for up to 3 hours. Please pay attention to the time limit.”

“This is the deep sea. Compared with the enemy, the water pressure is also an enemy that cannot be ignored.” Strena kindly reminded Chen Rui, “The bones and muscles of the naga tribe can change accordingly. We have a particularly flexible characteristic that maintains the body’s balance of internal and external pressures, but this state is not sustainable. The body of ordinary demons is even more unsuitable for this environment. You must be careful later. Find ways to return to the ship if you can’t take it.”

I’m a human, not a “demon”. Chen Rui corrected Strena’s sentence in his heart and nodded to express his understanding. A group of people came to the battle exit which was a one-way magic entrance. Unless there was Hegel’s will, one could not enter from the outside.

The water elementals jumped out first. This kind of deep sea had the least effect on the water elementals. Instead, it was the best environment for them to unleash the water element power. Strena jumped out afterward. The flexible snake body was like a rudder in the water that could easily control the movement of the body. Sometimes, it could also play a role in binding and so on.

Chen Rui ate the gillyweed given by the water elementals. He felt that some strange things seemed to grow on his cheeks. It opened and closed like the gills of a real fish.

Chen Rui glanced lightly at the elite dark elemental, Helor, whose gaze was full of hostility, then he jumped out of the exit. As soon as he entered the water, his first feeling was that he was under a lot of pressure, and his second feeling was that his cheeks began to breathe incredibly in the water just like in the training ground.

That’s right. It was the deep-sea environment training ground of the Super System. In fact, Chen Rui was very familiar with the deep-sea environment.

It could be seen from the light of the Dark God Ship that the huge enemies swimming and attacking around were actually sea demonic beasts’ skeletons. There was a faint green color on them- They are the undead creatures indeed!

In the [Analytical Eyes], the lowest strength of these undeads was the Great Demon King level. The highest was the early stage of the Demon Overlord. However, the strength shown by the data was not equivalent to the real effect in this kind of underwater battle. Once this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle was breached, even the Dark Elemental King of the peak stage of the Demon Overlord would be in danger of life, let alone the sailors on the ship.

The attack power displayed by Strena was much lower in underwater as her power and speed were greatly restricted by the resistance of water. The scimitars of the fire attribute couldn’t exert their due power. However, the female naga warrior had abundant combat experience. Using the sharpness of the scimitars, she finally cut off a huge sea beast’s head after a few slashes.

In contrast, the dark element power of the elite dark elemental, Helor appeared to be stretched out in this combat environment. He could only barely deal with the undead sea beast. Although the water elementals were “like a fish in water”, they could only use magic to restrict and slow down the enemy’s attack because their strength was too weak.

Chen Rui took a deep breath and felt the wonderful taste of really breathing in the water. The power in his body quickly condensed. Circles of faint ripples began to ripple from his fist.

The quasi-artifact “Thunderous Sound” that he wore could cause double damage to undead. In addition to double damage and additional thunder attribute attack, it could also increase movement speed by more than 50% which could be regarded as a big killer against the undead. The deep sea was a very harsh combat environment for others including sea creature tribes like the nagas. However, Chen Rui usually spent 100 days training under this condition, so the deep sea environment was more favorable for him. He even realized a considerable part of the “overlapping power” in this environment. Furthermore, the transmission with water and water pressure in the deep sea greatly buffed the power and exerted an effect that was not available on land.

In the Dark God Ship, Hegel stared at a figure in the crystal ball as his red eyes flashing with surprise. The figure punched out and actually shattered the entire skeleton of an undead sea beast into dozens of segments. Then, he turned around with another punch, which knocked off the huge body of the other undead sea beast which was banging against the Dark God Ship. It left countless bubbles along the way.

If it was on land, the Dark Elemental King would not take this kind of combat power to heart. The problem was that this was extremely high-pressure underwater! A deep sea that could crush one into pieces if he was careless!

This kind of fighting technique, this kind of destructive power, this kind of skillful use of the environment... By the way, this figure did not even activate the strongest [Armor of Faith] power!

“Is your master a sea creature tribe or demon?” After watching for a long time, the Dark Elemental King finally uttered a sentence. The target was naturally Master Dodo who was watching the battle nervously while stuffing his mouth with food.

This sudden sentence made the slime, who had turned the fear into appetite, shocked. His big mouth that was still chewing just now disappeared. His 2 small ears and hands disappeared, leaving only an onion wearing the Purple Flame Heart glasses who pretended to stare at his master in the crystal ball.

The slime, who pretended not to hear, thought he had Zola’s style except that he didn’t ask “what”. This attitude naturally made the Dark Elemental King very displeased. He snorted irritatedly, but he didn’t ask anymore.

About 2 hours later, more than 30 undead sea beasts were finally cleared out. 3 more water elementals were sacrificed. Strena was slightly injured, and the elite dark elemental, Helor was seriously injured. Chen Rui was not injured, but his power consumption was huge and he looked very tired.

When Helor looked back at Chen Rui, his mouth squirmed, but he finally didn’t say anything. If it hadn’t been for this “enemy” who blocked the undead sea beast for him, he would be unable to come back.

Chen Rui was not in the mood to care about these. The 3 water elementals were the sailors who had been following him. He had tried his best in the battle just now. Not only had he activated the [Galaxy Territory] skill, but he also activated the buff effect of the Mystic Jade Armor. Nevertheless, the water elementals eventually died because of the delay in rescue, so he felt very sorrowful in his heart.

This atmosphere affected Strena and the rest of the elementals. Everyone didn’t speak for a while. Hegel glanced at Helor who bowed his head silently. This time, he also didn’t say more.

The Dark God Ship continued to move forward in a silent atmosphere. After some time, the Purple Flame Heart glasses on the slime’s face suddenly emitted a faint light.

Seeing this, Chen Rui’s mind moved and he immediately took out the treasure map from the storage warehouse. Just as he took it outside, he saw that the treasure map also began to glow.

At this time, everyone’s attention was attracted by this. Even the people who didn’t understand the mystery of the treasure map would have guessed it: This meant that the Dark God Ship was already quite close to the location of the treasure.

Chen Rui put on the Dodo-helmet to look at the treasure map carefully. He found that the red light dot representing himself was already very close to the golden light dot representing the hidden treasure.

The treasure of the Dark Dragon Emperor... is actually at the bottom of the sea?

This Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Ship is really accidentally lucky.

“Be careful and move forward at full speed!” The Dark Elemental King said calmly, but the red light in his eyes showed some heat.
