Chapter 675 - My Doomsday Territory

**Chapter 675: The Deep Sea Shark** **Previous Chapter | Return to Directory | Next Chapter | Return to Book Page** The shipyard on Jiulong Island is perched on the edge of a steep cliff. Beneath, the tumultuous sea constantly crashes against the smoothed cliff walls. Within this shipyard resides Eugene, the island's master shipbuilder. However, when Lorin arrived, she realized she had been deceived. The location of the shipyard is no secret. In fact, it's famously known on this island. Only those unfamiliar with Jiulong Island wouldn't know where the shipyard is. Master Shipbuilder Eugene is indeed here, but not just anyone can meet him. At least, the small leader at the port responsible for collecting money doesn't have the qualification to see Master Eugene. "Wasted my time and effort! Bah!" Many people are stopped outside the shipyard, looking longingly inside, all hoping to obtain a warship made by the Jiulong Shipyard. Unfortunately, most are turned away. "The Jiulong Shipyard is one of the few places for small powers like us to obtain high-end warships. Unfortunately, you need to provide a complete corpse of a Royal-Class sea monster and a significant amount of origin crystals to possibly have a shipbuilder from inside take on the task..." "I heard the best shipbuilder here is Master Eugene?" a newcomer inquired. "Heh, Master Eugene hasn’t taken on a job in a long time. The last time he personally oversaw a project was the construction of the White Bone Abyss." "The White Bone Abyss? The flagship of the White Bone Pirate Group? My heavens, I've heard it has living attributes, and can even transform slain enemies into parts of the ship..." In the Endless Sea, ships are generally classified into Ordinary, Escort, Flagship, and Dominion classes. The "Initial" ship belongs to the Flagship class. However, since its hull was not crafted with sea monster materials, to sea monsters it is a rather obvious target. From sailing the outer seas of the Bluewater Principality to Jiulong Port, the "Initial" encountered over a hundred sea monster attacks. The most severe was a colossal 'Emperor-Class' sea monster over 200 meters long, even more massive than the "Initial." The waves it caused reached over a hundred meters high. Although Kong and Lorin attacked as soon as they noticed the sea monster, the aftershocks of the battle still left the "Initial" battered. The White Bone Abyss, a legendary ship, is a Dominion-class warship famous for its terrifying reputation. "Look, someone's entering the Jiulong Shipyard." "One-eyed, bald-headed... it's the second-in-command of the Giant Shark Pirate Group, 'Blood Eye' Hu Jiu, who has a bounty of three million origin crystals!" "Three million bounty? An escort-class warship is only five hundred thousand origin crystals? You could buy six of them! That's incredibly valuable!" "Hiss, are you insane? 'Blood Eye' dared to rob even the ships of the Sea Dragon Empire. If he hears you, you might be safe in Jiulong Port, but take one step out, and you're dead!" ... Ultimately, Lorin and her companions didn't manage to craft a new warship. They only purchased some sea monster materials to reinforce the hull. "I managed to get a Sea Emperor Statue and Poseidon's Sigh, but it seems to attract some attention," Xie Yi casually mentioned, not appearing overly concerned. "And after leaving the mists of Jiulong Island, it seems you emerge randomly within a hundred nautical miles..." "Should we hunt an Emperor-Class sea monster? The local powers of the Endless Sea are skilled at using sea monsters to craft ships. We could potentially create one superior to the 'Initial'," Xing Yue proposed eagerly. "No, it's not wise. Emperor-Class sea monsters are rare, and going back and forth takes at least a month. Building a ship takes even longer, over a year—far too long. We can try purchasing premade ships from those maritime empires... if they have any." Disappointed, Xing Yue lowered her head. Not just her, but everyone else was reluctant to linger any longer. Having sailed for over two months, the novelty had worn off, leaving only emptiness and boredom. There are no beaches, no swimming—the seawater devours origin energy like poison. It's truly unenjoyable! Compared to the comfortable life in the castle, this is vastly inferior. How did I even get talked into boarding? Having secured enough supplies, the "Initial" slowly departed from the port. ... "Second-in-command, they've left." 'Blood Eye' Hu Jiu rose from his seat, his single eye making him appear even more menacing. "From where did they exit?" "Southeast corner. They seemed to be heading straight. I've ordered some to quietly tail them." Blood Eye sneered, "If mere visual tracking were effective, Jiulong Port couldn't maintain its superior standing." Even specialized tracking methods, like magical markings or scent trails, fade when passing through the mist. If one wishes to escape, even under watch, there remain many chances to evade pursuit. This is why so many pirates and small fleet powers opt to trade at Jiulong Port. "Do you have confidence?" A few of the Giant Shark Pirate Group's warships gradually left the port. On the bridge, Blood Eye looked at a slightly bowing young man with a fawning smile… If Lorin were present, she'd recognize the youth as the one who collected fees at the port—a local member of Jiulong Island. "Of course, I've been eyeing those fat sheep for a while," the young man licked his lips. "Our Jiulong Port's mist actually has certain rules. Those sheep can only appear at several positions, Master Jiu..." "Rest assured, your share won't be missing, and we can have many more opportunities for cooperation in the future." ... The "Initial" navigated through the mist for several minutes until suddenly... "Finally came out, squeak!" Bamboo Rat Li glanced back—there was no trace of the mist. This was an unfamiliar sea region, yet they could roughly determine their position by the sun and the direction of the sea currents. "Hmm? Seems like we've got a tagalong." Due to the sea's unique properties, it's difficult to detect sea monsters before they breach the surface to attack ships. However, above the water, perception remains unimpeded. With Lorin and her companions' extraordinary second-tier perception abilities, they could sense far beyond what their eyes could see. "It's the Giant Shark Pirate Group. One, two, three, four... seven ships. It seems this is only part of the Giant Shark Group," Xie Yi noted with disappointment. "Yes, I've heard the Giant Shark Pirate Group has a Dominion-class 'Deep Sea Shark.' Plus, their captain, Giant Shark, is an eight million bounty mobile crystal bank... but eight million doesn't sound that much." Lorin shared a similar sense of disappointment. "Uh, the ones in the back are likely led by 'Blood Eye,' the second-in-command of the Giant Shark Group. Perhaps we can leverage 'Blood Eye' to locate the 'Deep Sea Shark,' which my sister and I are skilled at doing." "... So troublesome," Xie Yi sighed. "... Such a waste of time," Lorin sighed. "... Snacks are almost out, squeak," Bamboo Rat Li sighed. Xing Yue could only look helplessly toward Kong... Surely Kong wouldn't be as lazy as Lorin and the others, given he’s the one who draws a salary from the lord! Though... um, the lord seems to be the laziest one. Kong gazed off in another direction, contemplating for a long time before speaking, "Another presence is approaching. It's unique, akin to a ship with living traits." Xing Yue looked at him, utterly shocked. Kong actually spoke more than twenty words in one go! **←Previous Chapter | Return to Directory | Add Bookmark | Recommend this book |Return to Book Page | Next Chapter**
