Chapter 2902: Blood Ship

~13 min read 2,567 words

The island ahead gradually approached. Su Xiao sat on the small boat, weighing a money bag in his hand. Inside were 16 gold coins, gold coins notarized by the Tree of Void.

Su Xiao had seen many currencies, but this was his first time seeing currency notarized by the Tree of Void.

【Demon Sea Gold Coin (Hard currency of this world, containing the power of the Demon Sea, cannot be taken out of this world, can be used to purchase high-value items. After purchase, the purchased high-value items will be notarized and can be taken out of this world).】

Su Xiao played with the gold coin in his hand. This gold coin was dark gold, with a skull on the front and a ship on the back. For some reason, Su Xiao felt that this ship was very similar to the Misfortune, but there were some differences, and there were many differences in the details.

Demon Sea Gold Coins were good things. After using this thing to purchase items from the strong, the purchased items would be notarized and could be brought back to Reincarnation Paradise.

Su Xiao didn't know how much purchasing power 16 gold coins had. Xiang Bubu Wang searched the slave-trading ship once before finding so many gold coins.

Rowing the small boat to the 'Wandering Soul Sea Area' was too slow. So, after seeing the island ahead, Su Xiao prepared to land and hire a group of pirates to sail. He could only vaguely sense the Misfortune and didn't know how far he was from that ship.

A three-masted ship with fast sailing speed couldn't be operated by a few people; it required at least twenty people working together to set sail.

*Clatter. * The Ouroboros stone ring had detached from Baha's leg, fell onto the boat, and turned back into a slate. A line of text appeared on the slate.

"Do not land."

Just as these words appeared on the Ouroboros Slate, Su Xiao received a hint from Reincarnation Paradise.

【Hint: The Resurrection Value of Ouroboros Slate: Greed +60%.】

【Current Resurrection Value: 68%.】

Seeing this hint, Su Xiao discovered the severity of the matter. The Ouroboros Slate would occasionally warn him, but the Resurrection Value increased too much—60% at once. At most two more warnings, and the Ouroboros Slate would resurrect.

Looking at the distant island, Su Xiao hesitated in his heart.

"Xiang Bubu, Baha, change direction, bypass this island."

"Alright."

Baha never had any questions about Su Xiao's words. The small boat changed direction and began to move away from the distant island.

On the pier of Shipwreck Island, the man in full armor raised his head, a trace of doubt in his bright red eyes.

"Perceived... danger?"

*Clang. *

A small foot kicked the armored man's leg.

"Return my soul coins, 3000 soul coins!"

A little girl—no, a little boy—stood beside the armored man, gnashing his teeth in anger.

"I told you earlier that Guang Mu couldn't be trusted. Were you bewitched by her tits? Tell me, 3000 soul coins, gone, all gone! I even wore women's clothing to trick those miners out and kill them, and the 3000 soul coins I got are all gone."

"..."

The armored man lowered his head, silent.

*Clang. *

The little boy punched the armored man on the head, hurting his small face until it wrinkled. The damage reflection ability was truly powerful.

"He ran away, chase him quickly."

"No, my speed in the water... is very slow. The four-masted ship sent by the Duke hasn't arrived yet, and other ships are not trustworthy. Chasing now is not stable enough."

The armored man remained motionless, thinking about subsequent countermeasures.

"Then I'll go myself."

The little boy rushed forward a few steps and leaped into the water. After a few seconds, he climbed back onto the pier from the water.

"I was so angry at you that I forgot my combat power is garbage. If this fails, you go meet Sage of Arcane Sephiroth yourself. That's the branch of the Black Maple Tree, 3100 grams, a full 3100 grams!"

The little boy shivered with anger, but the armored man had no reaction. He still had a trump card. Counting this time, he had already been to the Demon Sea three times.

"I have a way. How did I forget you are the Duke's confidant."

The little boy's eyes became brighter and brighter. He turned and disappeared among the busy coolies.

A few minutes later, a two-masted sailing ship set sail. The little boy looked at the sailing ship that was gradually moving away, feeling no guilt for tricking the four contractors from Apocalypse Paradise.

"Although I can't kill you, you won't be able to develop in a short time."

Leaving this sentence, the little boy's body turned into bubbles and drifted toward a certain place on Shipwreck Island.

On the sea, Su Xiao sat at the stern of the small boat. He was hesitating whether to lift the summoning of the Ouroboros Slate. This slate could predict danger, but it was also a danger in itself.

Once the Resurrection Value of the Ouroboros Slate reached 100%, it would lead to a crisis. Su Xiao hadn't injected mana into it just now, but the Ouroboros Slate had predicted the danger on its own.

This represented one thing: if he encountered danger next time and the Ouroboros Slate predicted it again, causing the Resurrection Value to reach 100%, then the Ouroboros Slate itself would become a danger. Combined with the danger that was about to come, it would be a "double gift package," and the result could be imagined.

Soon, Su Xiao thought of a way. What if he couldn't receive the prediction made by the Ouroboros Slate?

From various observations, the Ouroboros Slate followed equivalent exchange. Only after providing valuable information would it increase the Resurrection Value. If "fart words" appeared on it, it would not increase the Resurrection Value.

As equivalent exchange, if Su Xiao couldn't receive the prediction from the Ouroboros Slate, the transaction would not be established.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao picked up the Ouroboros Slate, preparing to put it into the team storage space. He didn't believe that the Ouroboros Slate could make waves in the team storage space. This was related to the imprint function of Reincarnation Paradise.

"Shameless human."

Before Su Xiao could put the Ouroboros Slate into the team storage space, this text appeared on the slate. Obviously, the slate had predicted it on its own again.

"What is the origin of Reincarnation Paradise?"

"..."

"How high is the highest authority of Reincarnation Paradise?"

"..."

"What kind of existence is Reincarnation Paradise?"

Just as Su Xiao finished speaking, *crack*, a crack appeared on the Ouroboros Slate. After a while, the crack gradually recovered.

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. If a plot character in the native world obtained this slate, they would be swallowed by it in less than half a month.

Su Xiao was a Hunter. He had many questions that the Ouroboros Slate couldn't predict, and didn't even dare to try to predict.

"What is the specific structure of my imprint? How is it composed?"

*Crack~*

Cracks appeared on the Ouroboros Slate again. Seeing this scene, Su Xiao determined that he and the Ouroboros Slate were in an equivalent exchange. This slate was extremely dangerous and had a great background, but it had to follow this principle, which had been notarized by Reincarnation Paradise.

"Shameless human!!!"

Ignoring the text on the Ouroboros Slate, Su Xiao put it into the team storage space.

He had roughly figured out the two functions of the Ouroboros Slate: 1. Sensing high-value items nearby, 2. Predicting danger, but the Resurrection Value of the Ouroboros Slate would soar.

As for whether the Ouroboros Slate had other functions, it was still unknown.

Every time this thing was summoned, it could be used to avoid danger with its ability to predict danger, but at most once. If it predicted danger a second time, the Resurrection Value of the Ouroboros Slate would likely reach 100%.

Su Xiao didn't know what would happen then. In the dark, he had a feeling that with his current strength, once the Resurrection Value of the Ouroboros Slate reached 100%, he would die.

"Boss, a ship is approaching!"

*Boom! *

A shockwave came from behind Su Xiao, and he was sent flying forward by the impact. Black-red flames surged from behind him.

When Su Xiao flew past Xiang Bubu Wang, he grabbed Xiang Bubu Wang's ear with one hand. Xiang Bubu Wang was in so much pain that tears streamed down.

*Crack, crack, crack~*

The crystal layer of the Pride Song ability enveloped Xiang Bubu Wang. Black-red flames eroded, and Xiang Bubu Wang, with one ear standing up, was swallowed by the flames.

The small wooden boat shattered, and Su Xiao, Xiang Bubu Wang, and Baha fell into the sea. Black-red flames burned on the water surface, making a hissing sound and emitting a fishy stench.

The previous attack speed was extremely fast, exploding as soon as it entered Su Xiao's perception range. The form of the attack looked very much like it was fired from a cannon.

Half a kilometer away, a two-masted sailing ship was galloping on the sea, the main sail full of wind, the sharp bow breaking the seawater.

"Didn't kill him, wait for them to board the ship."

A shirtless man squatted on the gunwale of the bow, looking at the burning blood flames in the distance.

"Don't think about it, that guy has a blade hanging from his waist, he's likely a technique type. The perception of a technique type is very sharp, he won't get close to our ship."

A female contractor leaning on the mast spoke. Her clothing was revealing, and her leather skirt was short enough to make people's imaginations run wild.

"The ships of the Demon Sea are really perverted, they can even absorb vitality."

A total of four contractors were located all over the deck, and nearby were busy crew members. These crew members were pale and looked desperate.

"Make the ship faster, otherwise let it eat you."

"Yes... yes, at your command."

The crew members responded timidly, sailing this ominous ship.

Inside the seawater, Su Xiao pressed the miniature oxygen tank in his hand and took a deep breath. A suction force vaguely came from above, and the vitality in his body seemed to be sucked away.

*Zing. *

The blade light cut through the seawater, and a slash mark appeared on the bottom of the ship above. As soon as this slash mark appeared, dense black leeches swarmed out, conservatively estimated at ten thousand, heading straight for Su Xiao. God knows why these leeches could move freely in the seawater.

Su Xiao pulled Xiang Bubu Wang to the side, his body tilted in the water, and with a step on the seawater, he broke through the water flow and disappeared from the spot.

*Splash~*

The leech tide swept past. Not to mention whether these things were powerful, if he fought them, he might suffer some debuff status.

Su Xiao moved rapidly in the water, and the two-masted ship above kept following, which made Su Xiao somewhat puzzled. If the degree of danger predicted by the Ouroboros Slate was only this, he was not unable to deal with it, it was just a matter of whether he was willing to pay the price.

On the blood ship above, the contractor from Apocalypse Paradise named Jinke squatted on the gunwale, smiling at the seawater below.

"Really good at escaping, I don't believe he can keep shrinking in the sea."

The blood ship continued to sail. After a full two hours of pursuit, Jinke began to lose patience.

"Why don't we go down?"

"Is your brain flooded? Go fight a technique type?"

"Uh~, that's right."

Jinke sneered. They had a ship now, which was the biggest advantage. In the Demon Sea, having a ship and not having a ship were two different concepts.

I don't know when, the sky had become overcast, the sea surface was vaguely black, and thin fog drifted around.

"Ship... captain, we..."

A pale old pirate spoke, stammering for a long time without saying anything.

"If you have a fart, let it out."

"Captain, we seem to have entered the 'Wandering Soul Sea Area'."

"And then?"

"The Wandering Soul Sea Area is very dangerous. It is said that quite a few ships have sunk here. However, your blood ship... shouldn't sink."

"Then keep sailing."

Jinke had originally become vigilant. After hearing the old pirate's words, he felt relieved in his heart. He would not ignore the danger that might appear.

"The guy below stopped, right underneath."

The female contractor in the leather skirt spoke. Hearing this, Jinke's gaze condensed.

"Use the Blood Flame Cannon to bombard the sea, release all the parasitic leeches."

Just as Jinke finished speaking, he felt the ship beneath his feet shaking. He looked down into the seawater, and the seawater was churning.

Seeing this, the other three contractors also rushed to the bow, looking at the churning seawater below.

Everything around had changed. The sea breeze seemed to turn into wailing, whispers appeared in the air, and one could vaguely hear shrill screams and arrogant wild laughter.

A dull thunder sounded in the sky, the dark clouds above formed a vortex, and lightning flickered within.

The entire sea surface was vibrating, making a *tap-tap* sound. Water droplets were shaken up on the sea surface, and seawater surged up.

*Boom. *

A behemoth rushed out of the water. This was a ship. The hull was black, the main sail was dark red, and the white skull pattern on it was grinning. The Misfortune broke out of the sea.

*Creak~*

The wooden planks rubbed against each other, and the ship planks on both sides of the Misfortune unfolded like ribs, revealing the keel inside. This was like a sea beast that had escaped, enjoying its hard-won freedom.

"Quick... run."

A figure covered in barnacles and seaweed was hung on the ship plank. This was a contractor who had long been swallowed by the Misfortune.

The body of the scapegoat gradually shattered, turning into sea mud-like objects, falling into the water, completely dead, without enslaving the Misfortune.

Jinke and the other four looked up at the behemoth in front of them. Compared to that ship, their blood ship was like a toy ship.

Leeches crawled out of the blood ship, scrambling to escape along the seawater. The blood ship was decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the blood ship, Jinke swallowed his saliva. He felt that the ship in front of them was not something the four of them could resist. That thing was different from the blood ship; that ship seemed to be a living thing.

"Chase, why the fuck aren't you chasing? Didn't you chase happily just now?"

Baha landed on the unfolded ship plank of the Misfortune, looking at the four contractors below.

The Misfortune pressed down, almost riding on the blood ship. The ship planks that had unfolded like ribs closed, and it ate the blood ship.

Jinke and the other four all leaped into the seawater. The four in the sea looked dumbfounded at the Misfortune that was eating the blood ship. ===== CHAPTER 2903 =====
