“F*k, a shipwreck on the seafloor?”
The vine wrapped around the golden dagger cried out. The filaments of the vines trembled violently, as if dancing. It was full of spirituality.
Yufeng Zhuimeng let out a series of strange cries, disturbing the tranquility of this deep sea trench that had lasted for hundreds of years. His voice sounded a bit eerie in the dead silence of the deep sea.
However, he and Lin Mu were already used to staying at the bottom of the sea and didn’t feel anything.
Yufeng Zhuiment said excitedly, “Brother Mu, have we found a treasure?”
Lin Mu didn’t answer his question.
The light on the seabed was too dim, and he couldn’t see the whole picture of this huge monster. He just approached the giant ship cautiously.
As they got closer, the faint light they had seen before became clearer and brighter.
It could be clearly seen that the stones inlaid in the hull were glowing. Even if they weren’t gems, they glowed in the dark environment. They must be good materials.
Yufeng Zhuimeng became even more excited.
The wonderful experience of underwater exploration had a fatal attraction for him.
If it was reality, how many people would be able to dive tens of thousands of meters into the sea and embark on an adventure without any worries?
But besides them, there were other uninvited guests here.
The light attracted a sea beast that was attracted to light. It ignored the dagger that Lin Mu had transformed into and slowly approached. Then…
There was a dull sound as a long and huge tentacle suddenly stretched out from the boat and wrapped around the sea beast with lightning speed.
Yufeng Zhuimeng was startled and screamed uncontrollably.
However, the owner of the tentacle obviously didn’t notice them.
Under their gaze, another tentacle stretched out from the giant ship and dragged the struggling sea beast into the huge hull little by little.
There was no light on the seabed, but they could still see the densely packed huge suction cups on the two tentacles thanks to the dim gems on the hull.
These suction cups contracted tightly, leaving the sea beast with no way to escape.
Yufeng Zhuimeng was frightened and screamed for a while. Then he found that Lin Mu didn’t move, so he closed his mouth awkwardly.
In the deep sea, all the sea beasts were gigantic. It didn’t seem surprising to encounter a giant octopus.
But the one in front of him was really too big. He couldn’t be blamed for not being calm, right?
As the sea beast was dragged into the ship, the big hull shook and some strange noises were heard from time to time as if the giant octopus was eating.
“Brother Mu, do you want to call someone over?”
Yufeng Zhuimeng’s voice became excited again. Such a big octopus must be BOSS level.
They would definitely get a huge reward if they killed it.
Moreover, with such a large shipwreck, perhaps a lot of treasures could be found inside.
He couldn’t help fantasizing about it.
Lin Mu wasn’t in a hurry. “Let’s take a look first.”
He controlled his body to move in the sea, preparing to find the situation of the ship first.
In any case, he was safe now as a dagger.
Soon, the remains of the sea beast were spat out. They floated quietly in the sea water and were swept out of the trench by the current.
The shaking giant ship slowly returned to calm.
Gradually, the trench returned to its original peace and tranquility. Only the stones on the hull emitted a faint glow, hiding murderous intent.
Lin Mu’s observation soon came to an end.
He used the camera to capture the entire giant ship, including the surrounding environment. However, the interior of the ship was pitch black and he couldn’t capture anything.
After doing all of this, he didn’t leave immediately but floated in the sea as if thinking.
“Brother Mu, what are you thinking about?”
Yufeng Zhuimeng could only cling to him and asked in a somewhat bored manner.
Lin Mu didn’t keep him in suspense and expressed his thoughts directly. “Do you think this ship looks like the magic ship mentioned by Teacher Aina?”
Yufeng Zhuimeng was stunned for a moment. Then he looked carefully at the huge ship in front of him and couldn’t help nodding.
“F*k, they are a bit similar!”
“Could this be left behind by a previous elementalist?”
The plan to build magic ships suitable for sailing had been put on the agenda for a long time, but Teacher Aina was too busy and had several research projects at the same time.
In addition, building a magic ship required a lot of rare materials, most of which had been lost. It was necessary to find substitutes, which was time-consuming.
Therefore, players hadn’t seen this type of magic ship that wasn’t afraid of sea interstellar beasts. They could only dive into the sea instead of sailing on the sea.
Still, with the unremitting efforts of the players in Glass Sea City, the shallow sea near the main cities were cleared despite the lack of magic ships.
Now the seafood industry in Glass Sea City was developing rapidly and was almost as famous as the barbecue of Twilight Frost City. It was one of the indispensable specialties of the food city.
Yufeng Zhuimeng felt hungry when thinking about seafood.
Unfortunately, in this state, he couldn’t take out any snacks to eat.
He was in a daze while Lin Mu carefully examined the giant ship again. He found that even though the ship had been soaked in seawater for at least a hundred years, the degree of corrosion wasn’t serious.
In other words…
Could it be recycled and reused?
Lin Mu shared his ideas with Yufeng Zhuimeng again.
“Ahh, this is too great!” Yufeng Zhuimeng shouted.
He dreamed of having a magic ship too.
It was fun to kill monsters on the seabed, but it was possible to feel depressed if he stayed there for too long. The sea elves’ territory was too far away, and it was troublesome to go back.
At this time, wouldn’t it be wonderful to take out a magic ship, drink a cup of beverage in a warm room, eat a bag of spicy stripes and lie comfortably on the sofa to browse the forum?
“Brother Mu, let’s call some people over! This huge ship will be ours once we get rid of this octopus monster!”
Yufeng Zhuimeng said happily, wishing he could carry this magic ship home immediately.
As a result, Lin Mu shook his head and refused.
He asked why in confusion. Then he heard Lin Mu say, “Do you want to lure the people from Magic Box over here as well?”
Placing spies in each other’s guilds was a normal part of the game. Even the previous PC games could play out intrigue to get lengths, not to mention holographic online games with a stronger sense of immersion.
It would be fine if they could take down the octopus quickly, but it would definitely alert the people of Magic Box if they took too long.
At that time, they would have to determine who owned the BOSS and the sunken ship.
“Yes.”
Yufeng Zhuimeng nodded. Their mercenary group had suffered a lot in this regard.
On the battlefield on land, many powerful elementalist NPCs had been taken away by Magic Box, which made everyone in the group furious. If such a huge treasure was snatched away again, they would be so angry that they vomited blood.
“Then should I tell Brother Yang first? Brother Yang should be okay, right?”
Lin Mu hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing.
After getting approval, Yufeng Zhuimeng contacted Wang Yang. However, the moment the message was sent, he received Wang Yang’s sarcastic message.
“Didn’t you just play dead? Is your signal good now?”
Yufeng Zhuimeng sweated profusely. He had forgotten that he had just cooperated with Lin Mu to avoid Wang Yang.
He quickly changed the subject and talked to Wang Yang about the shipwreck on the seabed.
Wang Yang’s attention was quickly drawn and he let this person go.
They were exchanging information while Lin Mu’s eyes were fixed on the sunken ship on the seabed.
There wasn’t much information displayed on the system panel, so he could only rely on his own observation and exploration.
It was definitely not possible to confront this octopus monster head-on.
The game of Starry Sky Age was very realistic. Destroyed scenes wouldn’t repair themselves automatically. If the ship was destroyed in a fight, it would really be destroyed.
So the best way was to lure the octopus monster away from the ship.
He observed and thought about how to lure the monster away.
As he was thinking, a tentacle silently stretched out from the hull.
Lin Mu discovered it, but he didn’t care too much.
After all, he was now a dagger and the octopus couldn’t be aiming at him…
Lin Mu only reacted when the entire dagger was wrapped by the slippery tentacle of the marine creature.
Was this really directed at him?
After facing it head-on, he found that this octopus was really big, so big that it was a bit suffocating.
Just one tentacle was enough to wrap around the dagger he had transformed into, making it airtight. Even Yufeng Zhuimeng’s voice became muffled.
For his last resort, he could only switch to the team channel to speak.
“F*k, Brother Mu, how did we get caught?” The vine was wrapped around the dagger, so it would take some time to untie himself.
Lin Mu couldn’t escape, let alone him.
It stood to reason that they weren’t food. So what was this octopus monster doing with them?
“I don’t know.”
Lin Mu’s voice didn’t sound panicked at all. They were players and had immortal souls. If they really died, they could resurrect.
However, in order to avoid not finding this place after resurrecting, he quickly called up the map and made a mark on it.
The satellites couldn’t observe the situation at the bottom of the sea, but there were the coordinates of the sea surface. They still had a way to find this place.
Lin Mu hesitated between struggling and not struggling.
If he struggled, he would definitely be discovered and he couldn’t continue to play the ignorant dagger. But he was a bit unwilling to not struggle.
The octopus monster’s skin was wet, slippery and soft, but the skin was actually very tough. The dagger blade dug deep into the skin, but only a bit of damage was caused!
The damage was so small that pain wasn’t even felt!
Lin Mu’s mood became a bit solemn.
On the seabed, warrior elementalists were needed to defeat a boss. The spiritual elementalists were just delivering food to the monster.
But how could they beat this octopus if he couldn’t break the boss’ defense?
The octopus tentacle that rolled them up suddenly waved vigorously. The violent shaking made the two of them quickly lower their sense of realism and they finally felt better.
“What does this octopus monster want to do?”
Just as Yufeng Zhuimeng couldn’t help complaining, they heard a young and somewhat lively voice ringing in their ears.
“Are you human elementalists? The ones who can change into different forms?”
Yufeng Zhuimeng and Lin Mu were both stunned.
Who was talking? Was it this octopus?
Lin Mu switched the channel and asked, “Are you… Senior Octopus?”
In response to him, the octopus waved his tentacles vigorously as if extremely happy. One could faintly hear his laughter.
