The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Entering the cabin, the last trace of light disappeared instantly, and everything was pitch black.

But Ji Chen's eyes were shining brightly, and he looked around like he was piercing the darkness.

The water-proof cabin at the bow of the ship should be the nest of those lightning eels just now. There are some corpses of fish and sea monsters piled up, and there are dozens of fist-sized lightning eel eggs in the corner.

After controlling the sea water to squeeze these lightning eel eggs into meat paste, he swam directly towards the depths of the cabin.

After leaving the bow water tank, we came to the second deck. From here on, we could gradually see some pale bones, and the empty eye sockets seemed to tell the story of the tragedy of the sinking.

Ji Chen's heart didn't waver as the water surged and pushed aside the bones blocking the road.

The second deck was probably where the crew lived, and there were a relatively large number of bones left. However, some waterproof money bags containing gold and silver coins were found from these bones.

Although compared to the hundreds of thousands of gold coins in pirate Edward's treasure, these can only be regarded as small mosquito legs, but no matter how small they are, they are still considered meat, so he still took these coins away casually.

At this time, news came from Naga warriors who entered the sunken ship from other places and discovered the place where the goods were stored.

When Ji Chen got the news, his heart moved and he immediately swam over.

Compared with gold and silver coins, he now wants to get some valuable resources that can be used in the territory immediately.

Go through the cabin and stairs to the third deck.

Pressed into the large sludge of the cabin, a silvery white light emerged from the damaged box.

Ji Chen's eyes lit up.

It's mithril!

This merchant ship is actually carrying mithril?

Suppressing his slight excitement, he immediately signaled the Naga warriors to start digging the mud.

The Naga warriors swung their bone blades one after another. The broad blades were like simple shovels, digging up the mud.

As the mud was cleared with shovels, neat pieces of mithril were unearthed.

According to the size of the cargo hold, there should be a lot of mithril buried here.

At this time, Anina, who had disappeared after entering the sunken ship, suddenly swam in from half of the hatch and came to Ji Chen with excitement on her face and her hands began to make gestures.

As if she wanted to tell him some good news.

But after watching for a long time, he still didn't understand what Anina meant.

Shaking his head, he mobilized his magic power to isolate the seawater and drain the seawater around his and Anina's bodies, forming a cover with air.

Then you can talk.

The dragon whale girl looked at the shields formed around her, her eyes extremely shocked, and she held it in for a long time before speaking.

"Sir, since when did you have this skill?"

"I gained professional abilities when I went to sea before," Ji Chen smiled and asked without explaining too much, "Did you discover something?"

At this time, Anina remembered what she had just seen and said quickly: "I found the captain's cabin."

Captain's cabin?

He was immediately interested.

In addition to the cargo hold, this is another place worth exploring.

After all, the captain is the most authoritative person on the ship, so maybe there are some valuable things stored where he lives.

"Take me to see it."

Hearing this, Anina didn't waste any time and immediately led the way.

A few minutes later, they walked around the winding cabins and corridors and came to a thick wooden door.

The wooden door is very thick and difficult to open even if it is pressed down by water.

Ji Chen originally wanted to draw away the seawater again and open the wooden door, but Anina pointed to the side.

There was a big hole in the wall next to the door.

Seeing Ji Chen's slightly stunned expression, she smiled proudly and raised her white fist.

——I broke it open by force.

Well, you can really do whatever you want with strength.

Entering the captain's cabin through the big hole, as soon as he entered, he saw a corpse stuck behind the door, with both hands still holding the door handle tightly.

Judging from his attire, he is probably the captain of this ship.

The wooden door was closed tightly. It seemed that the captain had no time to leave. The seawater poured in was pressed against the door, and he probably drowned alive in the end.

Perhaps before he embarked on ocean-going trade, he fantasized about being able to get rich, and thought that he would be able to live a happy life with no worries about food and clothing and be with his family after returning home.

Unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky as Raymond, who not only escaped the pursuit of pirates, but also passed through the storm outside the stormy sea area.

It all came to an abrupt end when the ship sank.

The two began to search the captain's cabin and soon found a locked metal box under the wooden bed.

I don’t know what kind of metal the box is made of. After all this time, there is no rust at all. The appearance is still shiny and the sealing is excellent.

It is estimated that this should be the captain's small treasury. Like himself, he did not have time to leave here and was buried deep under the sea.

In addition to the metal box, he also found a special piece of parchment on the top of the cabin.

The surface is colorful and exudes a faint light, which makes it well preserved in seawater erosion.

Just hold it in your hand and look at it.

This is a map that shows in great detail the outline of the entire Western Mediterranean and various locations, including ports, islands, sea areas, etc. It also marks the monsters, pirates, and dangers that often appear in each sea area.

It can be said that with the help of this map, the certainty and safety of crossing the Western Mediterranean will be directly improved by 50%.

It seems that merchants who dare to trade across the ocean have some skills.

Ji Chen nodded.

This map is of great use to him. Although he will not get lost in the ocean, he must have a direction before he can get lost.

Otherwise, if you don’t even know the direction, then there is no point in getting lost or not.

Ji Chen put the map in his backpack and continued searching.

After making sure there was nothing else of value, he took Anina and left here.

Back on the second deck, the Naga warriors were still working hard to dig out the mud. It seemed that it would take a lot of time to dig out all the mithril.

He decided to go back to the boat first and then come down to collect it after digging.

Instructing Anina to supervise at the scene, he quickly floated up in the sea water alone, broke through the sea with a splash, and jumped to the deck.

"Sir, you are back." Seeing him, Alice, who was staying on the ship, said with surprise on her face, "Did you find anything in the sunken ship?"

"A boatload of mithril, a magic map and a box. The Naga warriors are still digging underneath."

Ji Chen smiled and took out the metal box.

Start shaking.

There wasn't much inside, and it made a slightly dull sound as it shook.

It doesn't sound like coins or gems.

He suddenly became curious, condensed the water into a saw, and started sawing on the box. With the blessing of mana, the water saw was stronger than metal. It makes a harsh sound when it rubs against the cabinet.

Considering that the contents inside could not be damaged, he sawed very carefully and did not dare to use too much force.

After about ten minutes, one side of the metal box was sawed off, revealing the contents inside.

There are only three things in it.

A simple compass, a diary, and a strange gun.

He was slightly surprised to see these things.

What's inside is not gems, gold coins or other treasures, but these things?

With a curious look on his face, he first picked up the compass and looked at it.

The bottom shell of the compass is made of copper, engraved with some strange words and patterns, there is a small button on the top, and the surface is covered with a transparent crystal shell.

The strange thing is that through the crystal case, you can see that there is no seabed line inside. You can directly see some precise gears and hinges under the pointer, which are carefully twisted together, giving it a steampunk style.

There is also a diamond-shaped crystal on the side, connected by copper wires.

Obviously, this is not an ordinary navigation compass, but some kind of alchemical mechanical creation.

【Alchemy Compass】

[Level]: Special

[Use]: Can give directions to [Argo]

Argo?

Ji Chen frowned, where is this place?

The information panel of the compass in front of me cannot provide any more information.

He turned his attention to the diary.

Not long after he entered this world, he was instilled with the universal language of this world. Not only listening, but also reading the text was naturally a piece of cake.

I casually opened the waterproof cowhide cover and turned to the first page.

But I quickly flipped through it, because the first few pages were filled with miscellaneous things recorded by the captain about his sailing life.

However, through these pages, he did know some information about the ship and its captain.

The name of the ship was the Ocean Adventure, and the captain's name was Zolt Rova.

Zolt is not a businessman as he previously thought, but an ocean explorer. His business includes but is not limited to developing new routes in the Mediterranean, exploring dangerous sea areas, being entrusted to find certain rare items, and exploring strange marine animals. wait.

It's all very dangerous work.

But it really allowed him to accomplish many feats.

For example, he developed two routes between the northern and southern continents, successfully explored a dangerous area similar to the storm sea area, completed many commissions, and gained a lot of fame on the mainland.

But as the saying goes, walking by the river often means your shoes won’t get wet.

The final result was obvious. The ship sank, and he and the entire crew were buried at the bottom of the sea.

After turning about two-thirds of the way, Ji Chen stopped turning.

When I saw the content above, my heart moved and I read it carefully.

From here begins the record of Zolt's last voyage.

The first sentence at the beginning shocked him.

"This voyage of the Ocean Adventure is to find the legendary underwater city-Argo."

Argo, the place name mentioned on the psychic compass, is actually an undersea city?

Surprised, Ji Chen recovered his thoughts and continued reading.

"There are many coincidences in the world. It might have happened yesterday, today or tomorrow, but it happened to me now."

“While I was thinking about my next meaningful voyage, I accidentally caught a compass with some strange characters on the back. After my investigation,

Some remaining ancient books on the seaside record that there once existed a civilization in the Mediterranean with extremely advanced alchemical technology, and its name was Argo. The characters on the back of the compass are very similar to the Argo characters recorded in the ancient books, so I doubted it. This compass can guide you to the location of this lost civilization. "

".So a great voyage full of challenges began again. After making all preparations, I set off with more than a hundred brave sailors. I hope everything will go well."

".Crossing the endless sea, we followed the guidance of the compass and finally arrived at our destination. Legend has it that Argo is located at the bottom of the sea, so I spent all my assets and ordered dozens of special alchemy clothes in advance that can sneak into the bottom of the sea."

"The search process took longer than I thought. I hope the sailors can find it tomorrow, otherwise we may not have enough food and fresh water to return."

Several days passed between the two texts.

The slightly scrawled handwriting showed Zolt's excitement.

“After experiencing countless nights in rough sea conditions and avoiding terrifying marine beasts, we finally found Argo!

When we saw it, we couldn't believe our own eyes. What a huge city it was. The outside was covered by a crystal-like cover, surrounded by a circle of mithril pillars. Through the cover, we could see what was inside. A city full of towers and buildings with strange shapes, and traces of alchemical technology can be seen everywhere.

There is no mistake, this must be the legendary lost civilization Argo! ! The next step is to find the entrance to the city.”

". We have never been able to find the entrance to the city, but the food and fresh water have been almost consumed. If we don't leave, the consequences will be unimaginable. So we unanimously decided to take away a mithril pillar outside the cover - a mithril pillar. It's tens of meters high. There are hundreds of mithril pillars like this. It's really an amazing wealth.

Of course, we had to break the pillar into smaller pieces first, otherwise it would be impossible to transport it back. Oh, by the way, we also picked up a strange-looking alchemy gun nearby. Its level of sophistication is beyond anything I have ever seen in my life. See."

"After the Mithril transfer is completed, we begin to return to the mainland. When we return to the land, this shocking discovery will definitely make me famous in the mainland. Well, that alchemy gun is the best evidence."

After turning the page again, the notes stopped abruptly.

Seeing this, Ji Chen took a deep breath.

Unexpectedly, this captain named Zolt actually found the so-called underwater city of Argo by relying on his compass.

And that's where the large amount of mithril on the ship came from.

According to the description in the log, so much mithril is just one of the hundreds of mithril pillars decomposed.

Such an astonishing amount of mithril is enough to drive any aboriginal force crazy.

But the final result was dumbfounding.

The Ocean Adventurer, which crossed countless seas and discovered Argo, was not deterred by the tiring journey, sunk by the storm, or defeated by the strange beasts of the sea. On the way back, it actually hit a reef and sank on the way back to land. .

It can be said that the world is messing with people.

But it was precisely in this way that they were discovered and obtained information about the lost civilization Argo.

Argo Alchemy Technology Mithril Pillar

A glimmer of light flashed in Ji Chen's eyes, and his mood gradually arose.
