Chapter 2932

The second stage of the Doom's seal was successfully lifted. According to Baha's statistics, the combat power of the cursed people on the ship was mostly similar, except for a few cursed people who were very strong before they died.

These people were: Ghost · Dazuo Nie, Hangman · Wo, Tear · Coleridge, Sea Fury (real name forgotten).

Except for these outstanding cursed people, above them were Mad Dog · Quake and Amans.

After the battle started, if Su Xiao wasn't present, Amans would command the cursed people to fight. At present, the combat power ranking of the cursed people was as follows:

Amans → Mad Dog · Quake (in a completely crazy state, combat power is slightly stronger than Amans, but doesn't distinguish between friend and foe) → Ghost → Hangman → Sea Fury.

Among these people, Ghost was the best at infiltrating. After its ability was activated, it could enter the "underwater stealth" state in the air and move at ultra-high speed. Perhaps the enemy hadn't reacted yet before their throats were cut by the long dagger in its hand. The real bleeding damage could last for nearly an hour, and the wound was extremely difficult to stop bleeding.

Hangman had amazing grip strength in both hands. Relying on the grip strength of its fingertips, its ten fingers were like razors during combat, able to tear flesh and blood from the enemy.

Mad Dog · Quake didn't need to be mentioned. It shouldn't be released in conventional combat. If it really had to be released, first stab it a few times through the metal cage to completely enrage it, and then open the gate to release the mad dog.

Amans used pure noble sword technique. This seemingly old cursed person had death attached to the western sword in its hand.

It could be said that compared to the cursed people who rushed up in a swarm before, now more than a dozen cursed people each had their own characteristics. After their consciousness recovered, they all brought out their own unique skills.

The number of cursed people didn't matter, but the strength of their average combat power did.

After understanding the general situation of the cursed people, Su Xiao was very satisfied. It was no wonder the Doom could cause bloody storms on the Demon Sea. With these crew members, as long as the captain didn't court death, few people could defeat the Doom.

Of course, this was also related to Su Xiao's high soul strength. He completely suppressed the Doom, so the cursed people were so clear-headed.

Besides this, the War Lord's bonus was also very critical. With several bonuses, the cursed people had their current strength.

At present, it seemed very strong, but this wasn't the limit. The Doom still had the final stage of the seal.

To lift the final stage of the seal, a full 100,000 or more Demon Sea gold coins were needed. Su Xiao didn't plan to lift this final seal in the near future.

The reason was that the seal, while limiting the Doom's combat power, also limited the spread of curse power. Before finding out how to lift the Demon Sea's curse, Su Xiao wouldn't touch this final stage of the seal.

The Demon Sea gold coins needed to lift the final seal had to be prepared in advance. After the situation worsened to a certain extent, there would be a chance for a final fight.

Su Xiao sat on the ship's side. His goal was very clear: first seize the Sea King's horn, the first opponent was the West Sea King, followed by the Twin Towers Empress.

After completing the first step, he could splice the Sea King's horn together, then summon the strongest sea beast and kill it.

After doing these, he would see what information the main task gave. As long as he completed the main task of this world, Su Xiao could break through the barrier of 200 attribute points. This was his ultimate goal.

In terms of the Legendary Degree ranking, Su Xiao wasn't obsessed with reaching the top spot. He was currently suffering from the Demonized curse, so he wasn't very optimistic about the 【Demon Sea Baptism】 reward for the top spot on the ranking.

Su Xiao had recently consumed the 【Tree's Gift】 potion concocted from the Tree of Void fruit to perform deep physical recovery, so he wasn't very interested in 【Demon Sea Baptism】.

He was very interested in the 【Immortal-level Equipment Treasure Chest (randomly producing full-rating Immortal-level equipment)】 rewarded for second place, and the 【Angel Suit (Holy Spirit-level treatment-type suit)】 rewarded for third place.

A full-rating Immortal-level equipment, if suitable for Su Xiao, would greatly improve his strength. As for the 【Angel Suit】, if this thing were hung on the auction platform, the treatment-type people of the Holy Light Paradise would definitely be willing to spend a large sum of Soul Coins.

Su Xiao felt that ranking second this time would yield the highest benefits for him, and third would also be fine. The difficulty at present was that the combat power he possessed didn't quite allow him to take second place. It was highly likely that as he fought, he would inexplicably rank first.

Opening the Legendary Degree ranking, Su Xiao looked at Underworld Wolf at the top. The other party already had 3519 points of Legendary Degree, while the second-place Kirin Dragon Alec had 3507 points, about to charge to the top spot.

Looking at these two people's Legendary Degree, Su Xiao felt much more relaxed in his heart. The contractors in the upper echelon of the eighth tier were very top-notch. This time, second or third place was likely stable.

"My dear friend, what are you thinking about?"

Caesar walked out from the black fog not far away. At this time, this guy's attire had completely changed, dressed like an Imperial royal family member. That feeling was a bit strange. Obviously, it was expensive and luxurious clothing, but after wearing it on Caesar, it looked like a costume.

Caesar came to the deck, and large money bags appeared, piling up several meters high.

"Supply exceeds demand. Those Imperial royals are surprisingly afraid of death. The final auction price of the two bottles of 【Vitality Recovery】 potion was 65,800 gold coins. After deducting Fland's 10% and Rear Admiral Murray's 20%, there were 46,060 gold coins left.

Before coming back, I helped the Imperial Bank turn over some liquidity and got some net profit, and then did some 'small business' with several gangs in the royal city. They were very short of money recently. Paying off debts with goods, after I sold that batch of goods at 'Thorn Flower Port', a total of 67,259 gold coins were obtained. My dear friend, you calculate the accounts."

Caesar pulled out a nearly two-meter-long account book. If you look closely, you will find that this thing was also encrypted in multiple languages.

This was the benefit of cooperating with Caesar. Originally, after the two bottles of 【Vitality Recovery】 were sold, Su Xiao could get a net profit of 14,000 Demon Sea gold coins, but after Caesar turned it around, 67,259 Demon Sea gold coins were obtained.

"No need."

Su Xiao didn't touch the account book that was yellow and black. He signaled Baha to take 30 bottles of 【Vitality Recovery】 to the captain's cabin.

"My dear friend, what level has your alchemy reached?"

Caesar rubbed his hands. He had no talent in alchemy, but he was obsessed with it. 90% of the benefits this guy got were used to improve his ability to survive, 1.2% was reserved, 8% was invested in alchemy, and the rest was regular expenditure.

"This is the formula for the Stigma Potion, it's yours."

Su Xiao threw out a piece of parchment, which recorded a perfect formula and the annotations he added later.

Stigma Potion: After drinking/injecting, permanently increases 1 point of Strength attribute, 1 point of Agility attribute, 100 points of health points (this potion is effective below 20 points of Strength and Agility attributes, repeated use is invalid).

Although the effect of the Stigma Potion was average, this formula was very rare. As for why he didn't give Caesar a higher-level potion formula, the reason was that Caesar couldn't understand it at all.

Caesar opened the parchment in his hand, and after a while, he smiled confidently.

"Basically understood, it's very simple, right? I'll concoct a bottle when I go back."

Caesar said this in his mouth, but he didn't leave for a long time, and the scene was somewhat awkward.

"If there's anything you don't understand, ask."

"Uh~, this~, besides the materials needed, I don't understand much about other aspects. I know a little."

Caesar exerted his thick-skinned shamelessness. His level of understanding was equivalent to reading a book and only understanding the title on the cover, and this title was also a version marked with pinyin.

"..."

Su Xiao took out a notebook, pointed his index finger on it, and constructed small blue characters with spiritual power. Soon, the whole notebook was filled, and he constructed the "Bagulo Array Diagram" on the cover so that the spiritual power handwriting on the notebook could be maintained for a long time.

"Study it yourself when you go back."

Su Xiao handed the notebook to Caesar. After Caesar took it, he only flipped through a few pages and his eyes shone. He could understand this notebook.

"So that's it. The change in nature doesn't necessarily equal a qualitative change? It could also be fission. In that case..."

While Caesar was speaking, he took something out of his pocket. A smell of rotten eggs mixed with concentrated sulfuric acid, plus an extremely eye-stinging smell, spread out—it was Caesar's socks.

"Damn it, have you been carrying shit in your pocket? Ugh~"

Baha let out a dry retch, and it rolled its eyes.

"Woof!"

Xiang Bubu Wang turned and ran. Its nose was numb. Quake the Mad Dog in the iron cage on the deck had its abdomen squirming. It was sleeping soundly just now, but was suddenly awakened by an explosive smell.

"Ugh~, what's that smell."

"Who is cooking shit! Want to die?!"

Cursed person after cursed person drilled out from the deck. They were smoked out.

Caesar realized something was wrong, immediately tucked away his socks, and disappeared into the black fog on the island with a trot.

The smell gradually dissipated. Su Xiao took off the gas mask on his face and threw it into the pitch-black sea.

A large sum of Demon Sea gold coins was credited. He could supplement the number of crew members, but before that, Su Xiao had one thing to clarify.

After getting off the ship, Su Xiao went straight to the wooden house where the old woman was. When he was negotiating with the Sea Dependent earlier, he triggered an achievement task, the task content was to kill the old woman.

This task had no penalty, no time limit, and not even a specific introduction. He didn't know what the reward was.

Su Xiao pushed open the door of the small wooden house. The old woman was still sitting in the wooden house. Finding Su Xiao visiting, the old woman laughed hoarsely.

"Have you already seen the Sea Dependent? Did that traitor ask you to kill me?"

As soon as the old woman's voice fell, Su Xiao received a prompt.

【Prompt: The Hunter has triggered the achievement task · Eradicate Sea Dependent (task content cannot be viewed, completed after killing the Fog Keeper · Sea Dependent, this task has no penalty).】

【Prompt: "Achievement Task · Eliminate Crows" and "Achievement Task · Eradicate Sea Dependent" have merged.】

【You have accepted the achievement task: Decision.】

【Task content: Kill either the Fog Keeper · Crow or the Fog Keeper · Sea Dependent.】

【Prompt: The Hunter can choose to ignore this achievement task. This behavior will not trigger unknown risks.】

【Prompt: After completing this task, the Hunter can know the method to lift the Demon Sea curse in advance.】

【The reward for this task is: World-level treasure chest.】

"Kill the Sea Dependent, and I will replace him to manage the cursed people in the black fog. Whether it's crows or cursed people, you can take as many as you want without paying Demon Sea gold coins. After you kill the Sea Dependent, I will tell you a secret, a secret about the curse."

The old woman grinned. Only three teeth were left in her mouth, two on the upper gum and one on the lower.

The old woman and the Sea Dependent both said the other was a traitor. They had both followed the third captain of the Doom and rushed into the giant whirlpool at the end of the Demon Sea.

Of these two, the old woman was always full of malice. What couldn't be ignored was that the Black Crow Ring, curse stones, etc., were all provided by the old woman. Supplementing black curse crows here didn't require paying Demon Sea gold coins.

From what the old woman said just now, she knew how to lift the Demon Sea curse, but the price was to kill the Sea Dependent first.

The Sea Dependent's consciousness was a bit blurred. It often repeated one sentence, which was not to completely lift the Doom's seal first. After the seal was completely lifted, the Demon Sea curse would erupt completely.

Besides this, the Sea Dependent also revealed information that it knew how to lift the Demon Sea curse. To know this secret, Su Xiao had to kill the old woman.

The old woman's strength didn't need to be mentioned, and as for the Sea Dependent, don't look at the Sea Dependent's appearance of being about to die, if they really fought, its strength might be similar to the old woman's.

Why didn't both sides do it themselves to kill the other? Su Xiao speculated that both of them might not be able to do anything to the other.

Don't look at Min Guang Island as not being big, the top five in this world, Min Guang Island occupied three: the old woman, the Sea Dependent, and the huge existence in the black fog.

Was this task a multiple-choice question? It wasn't. Su Xiao felt that this was a life-threatening question.
