Chapter 601: Section 388: The Dragon-man Youth’s New Bloodline

Unknown deep sea.

Deep Sea Monster Fish.

The dragon-man youth in the cockpit was scanning the surroundings through this demon energy-powered ship.

The most immediate threat was a sea creature, mountainous as a snow-capped peak.

The enormity of the creature was shocking enough, let alone the fact that its life breath was at the Holy Domain Level.

“This is definitely an existence I can’t contend with at this stage.”

The dragon-man youth had a very grave expression.

Although he had slain Teng Donglang, it was mainly by turning the tables with the Molten Lava Hell Magic Scroll, and the final key moments were still unclear to him.

Before, he had risked infiltrating the Divine Wind in order to rescue Lan Zao, only to suffer a strike from Feng Lian.

He wasn’t even Feng Lian’s primary target!

In that situation, if not for the unpredictable emergency function of the Blood Core, he would have died.

Therefore, the dragon-man youth was very clear about his own position.

“My current combat power might be able to confront someone like Teng Donglang head-on, but I’m definitely no match for Feng Lian.”

“In fact, after returning a lot of equipment to Snowbird Port’s City Lord, my combat power has decreased quite a bit.”

“Not to mention a Holy Domain Level!”

The dragon-man youth had no intention of dealing with this Holy Domain Level sea creature. His first thought was to evacuate this place.

Thus, he began to survey his surroundings.

The next moment, he was dumbstruck and uttered an incredulous exclamation.

He saw countless pearls growing on the cave walls.

These pearls were of various sizes, ranging from as big as a carriage to as small as a fist.

There were pearls beyond counting, densely packed!

Usually, pearls are differentiated by appearance. Some are dull in color, misshaped, while others are bright and round.

But as the dragon-man youth looked, he found that the pearls on these cave walls, regardless of size, were all in perfect spherical shape, all with a creamy white color that was instantly endearing.

This was a sea cave.

The walls were covered in creamy white pearls, and at the center of the cave coiled a snow-white giant beast, its body curled up, its full form hidden.

The cave was filled with seawater, with colorful light softly shimmering with the waves.

These colors of light were emitted by the seabed pearls.

They were all enveloped in a halo, some were pastel-colored, some blue, some green.

The lights converged and intertwined, creating a spectacle as stunning as the aurora borealis, a sight too beautiful for words.

Such a wondrous scene left the dragon-man youth spellbound for a moment.

What made his heart skip a beat was that he discovered that each and every pearl, regardless of size, was of Extraordinary Level material!

Bronze Level, Black Iron Level, Silver Level, Gold Level, Holy Domain Level, Legendary…

In fact, the dragon-man youth even pinpointed a pearl that emitted a Divine Level aura!

A Divine Level pearl!

“Where on earth have I been transported to?” The dragon-man youth was filled with confusion.

He wasn’t a Mage, lacking the extensive knowledge of someone like Cang Xu.

He could only ask the Tower Spirit.

The Tower Spirit had no idea.

“Could it be that even the War Merchant’s database has no records of it?”

“No, perhaps it’s because of the losses.”

The Tower Spirit’s database was not complete.

But there was no help for it; this was the result of what the survivors had managed to save.

Without concrete information, the dragon-man youth, though very tempted, remained prudent and did not lay a hand on the pearls.

The term ‘priceless’ was insufficient to measure the value of this mysterious cave.

The Divine Level pearl alone was an extinct item on the market.

The combined worth of those Legendary Level pearls would be more than enough to buy Snowbird Port.

“The mysterious creature seems to be asleep…”

“From what it looks like now, could this transport have brought me a surprise? A windfall from heaven?”

Realizing this, the dragon-man youth gradually set aside his worries. He started to search for an exit from the cave.

First to confirm a way back and then, without alarming the beast, to harvest the most valuable pearls possible.

This was the dragon-man youth’s plan.

However, the outcome left him dumbfounded.

“How could there be no exit?!”

After a thorough investigation, he found that this bizarre cave was completely sealed; there wasn’t a passage, not even a crack!

This greatly exceeded the dragon-man youth’s expectations.

Because if the sea creature was here and the cave was sealed, how would it be able to feed and sustain itself?

“If there is no passage to the outside, and it’s cut off from the world, then whether this place is truly the seabed is also uncertain.”

The dragon-man youth’s initial judgment of it being the seabed was because the cave was filled with seawater.

The composition of the water had already been analyzed by the Tower, confirming it to be seawater.

But now, who knew what lay beyond the cave?

Even a desert was possible!

“There’s no passage, so do we have to blast through and create one?” The Dragon-man youth furrowed his brows, his face clouded with worry.

The Deep Sea Monster Fish was currently covered with Deception and Disguise Skill and Anti-Intelligence Prophecy Skill, disguised as a rock on the ocean floor, not eliciting any reaction from the sea monster.

But if it were to open fire, even with the two skills for cover, the explosion’s noise and the shattered cave walls would provoke a fierce reaction from the sea monster.

“Besides, is this cave wall really penetrable by the Deep Sea Monster Fish?” The Dragon-man youth doubted.

The cannon on the Deep Sea Monster Fish was only of Golden Level, whereas this enclosed cave produced Divine Level pearls—the gap was too wide.

This made the Dragon-man youth uncertain about the effectiveness of the cannon fire.

He dared not try recklessly.

A Holy Domain Level mysterious sea monster was far too threatening.

Maybe if he tried, he would die.

“What should we do?” The Dragon-man youth asked the Tower Spirit.

The Tower Spirit was at a complete loss, too.

It possessed strong computational abilities, but those were based on information.

The more detailed the information, the better it could devise a suitable solution.

But now, both the Dragon-man youth and the Tower Spirit had no knowledge whatsoever of the snowy white beast or this mysterious cave.

“It seems we need to enhance our scouting methods and probe deeper,” the Dragon-man youth calmed down and, analyzing the situation, thought of a strategy.

The Deep Sea Monster Fish’s scouting abilities were divided into three methods: sonar, light, and Life Breath, each offering a different approach to reconnaissance.

Among them, the sonar scouting device could also emit infrasound to drive away many wild beasts in the sea.

Combined, the three scouting methods formed a Magic Image, projected in front of the driver.

The scouting capabilities of the Deep Sea Monster Fish were not weak.

But they were not comprehensive.

Previously, on Snake Rat Island and Twin Eyes Island, the survivors realized through practical experience—the reconnaissance of the Deep Sea Monster Fish was too broad.

Therefore, the survivors crafted many bird-like Alchemy Puppets for detailed reconnaissance—to somewhat compensate for this shortcoming.

Now, the Dragon-man youth realized that the reconnaissance of the Deep Sea Monster Fish was not profound enough.

Faced with a Holy Domain Level giant beast and a mysterious enclosed cave, it was at a loss, unable to penetrate the target.

“Is there any way to enhance our scouting capabilities, Tower Spirit?” The Dragon-man youth inquired.

After some calculations, taking a few seconds, the Tower Spirit presented numerous solutions.

The Dragon-man youth felt dizzy looking at them; he was no Mage, unable to implement any of the solutions on his own, so he continued asking the Tower Spirit.

The response from the Tower Spirit was to awaken Zhongyong and have him use the Alchemy Cabin to create some special reconnaissance Puppets.

The second solution was to awaken Zhongyong and upgrade the Deep Sea Monster Fish’s alchemical reconnaissance devices. Currently, these three devices were only of Silver Level, not yet Golden Level.

The third solution was…

The Dragon-man youth listened to the first ten, each involving Zhongyong.

He himself was a dud in alchemy, only able to rely on Zhongyong for alchemical productivity.

Fishman Mage Zhongyong was currently in a deep sleep.

Ever since he assembled the Bloodline Purification Array, he had become the onboard Mage for the Deep Sea Monster Fish. His movements were extremely restricted, only able to operate within a few cabins and always accompanied and monitored by Alchemy Puppets.

When the Dragon-man youth steered the Deep Sea Monster Fish away from Snowbird Port, he had drugged Zhongyong in advance to prevent him from noticing that the “Secret Alchemical Workshop” could move due to its vibrations.

This arrangement now proved to be greatly advantageous for the Dragon-man youth.

After pondering for a moment, he did not immediately awaken Zhongyong but prepared in advance.

He went to the storage compartment and pulled out a freezer.

Inside the freezer, a corpse was sealed.

But it was not Zi Di, it was a Fishman.

The Fishman corpse exuded a Holy Domain Level aura.

This was one of the unexpected gains from the battle at Twin Eyes Island.

The Dragon-man youth, upon acquiring it, chose not to devour it with a Blood Core.

The primary reason was the utilization rate of the resource.

If the Dragon-man youth absorbed it with a Blood Core, the value of this Holy Corpse would only manifest through him, adding some combat strength. Such a choice would have been too cost-ineffective.

The youth himself already possessed a Legend Level King of Flame Dragon Bloodline and had a vast space for growth, with neither the energy nor the time to develop another life form.

Most importantly, at that time and in the plans of the survivors, the practical use scenarios for Fishman Form were not plentiful.

If they preserved the Holy Corpse, there were many ways to utilize the resource. For instance, if in need of money, it could be sold. If absorbed with the Blood Core, surely, the core itself couldn’t be sold!

The survivors had yet to uncover the specific secrets, and there might come a time in the future when they could use the corpse to obtain great benefits from the Fishman.

All in all, preserving the Fishman Holy Corpse for future use was a very prudent decision.

But now, the Dragon-man youth decided not to keep the Holy Corpse any longer.

“If the Deep Sea Monster Fish is destroyed when we are blasting the cave wall and escaping, I can use the Fishman Form to survive in the water.”

Considering the Deep Sea Monster Fish’s treasures, was there anything that could rival the Bloodline of this Fishman Holy Corpse?

On the sea at night, a dense fog moved in tandem with the Ghost Ship.

After sailing for several days, Feng Lian, Cang Xu, and others finally reached their destination.

“Up ahead is the White Hair Sea Trench.”

“The Fin Spirit’s tribe should be in the trench, participating in the hunt,” the ship ghost said.

Their mission was to rescue the Fishman ghost, also known as the Undead Mage Fin Spirit.
