Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 171 Treasure Allocation and Adaptation
At this time, an ordinary card appeared in Alka's hand, but the pink mist was wrapped around it, and he threw it out.

The card drew an arc in front, leaving behind a long trail of pink smoke.

When the fireball hit the pink smoke, it became dark all over, and then became heavy, losing momentum and smashing into the sea below.

This is Alka's newly researched ability.

Infect non-living objects with the property of dreaming through the pink dreaming mist.

Although it can't really make it fall into a dream, it can obviously slow down the speed of the object itself.

It is perfect to use at this time.

The temperature of the water has dropped to freezing point, and there is heavy snow in the sky.

With the swing of the blade, one after another icicles stabbed forward, freezing the sea water in front of them into ice.

These ice blocks seriously hindered the lava snake's pursuit, and the distance was getting farther and farther away.

Several sections of the lava snake's body have been broken, and it can be seen that the snake's size has shrunk.

As the ambient temperature gets lower and lower.

Its movements became sluggish, another icicle hit its body, it stopped helplessly, and did not continue chasing.

Seeing the ships getting farther and farther away from him, he opened his huge mouth and roared angrily.

And kept spraying balls of lava fireballs towards the ship to vent their anger.

But these fireballs were frozen in mid-air by the chill. Although they didn't turn into ice immediately, they lost their kinetic energy and fell into the sea water, turning into a small piece of rock.

"It seems that it gave up." Alka said, looking at the giant lava snake that stopped chasing them and could only roar in place.

Only then did Julia exhale, and the gas she exhaled turned into ice slag in the air.

Controlling the treasure in his hand, he put it into the box next to him.

The temperature of the sky dropped immediately, and the cold was fading away quickly.

"This treasure can no longer be used, the magic power in the circuit has begun to undergo serious changes."

The characteristics of the Frost Nova are too strong, but after using it a few times, Julia's magic power has been transformed into a frost attribute.

Use it a few more times and it will really go to extremes.

Not as gentle as the dream catcher, it took half a year to slowly change Alka's magic power.

It may also have something to do with the dreamcatcher's weak magical properties.

It seems to be a common problem of elemental treasures, of course, this is only according to Lucilia.

Without the giant lava snake chasing after them, they were finally safe.The speed of the ship began to slow down gradually, and it began to travel at a normal sailing speed.

"Porolo will help you check if there is any sign of damage around the ship, and the rest will check the deck mast."

Alka said, and he also started to check the whole ship.

There is no way, this ship is only a relatively low-level spell ship after all, there is no so-called quality inspection system, and they need to take a good look at it after the battle.

When a problem is discovered, it must be solved, and sea navigation cannot be sloppy.

And after all, there are only 6 of them on this ship, and the range of activities is very wide, and there will always be places that cannot be taken care of.

After checking around to make sure there was no problem, everyone gathered on the deck together.

Looking at the rectangular metal block in front of them, the surface metal was polished and smooth like a mirror.

Alka raised his head and looked at the few people in front of him.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Xia Dai suggested you to try."

Since he had a spell when he touched it, Xia Daiti should be the most difficult person to own treasures among the members of the ship at this stage.

After possessing the treasure, she should give priority to touching it to see if it is suitable.

Xia Daiti nodded when he heard it, and stretched out his hand to touch the metal surface, and the magic power surged from the palm of his hand.

However, just as the magic power melted in, he was immediately repelled. The power of the repulsion was not small, and Xia Daiti retreated again and again in shock.

Seeing this, Alka couldn't help stretching out his legs and kicking the treasure in front of him.

Things that bully the soft and fear the hard.

Why wasn't he so tough when he inputted his magic power just now?
Since Xia Daiti couldn't do it, Alka turned to look at Pororo.

Seeing Alka's gaze, Pororo nodded, walked up, and reached out to touch the mirror-like metal surface.

Water-like magic power gushed out, but this time it was still repelled, shaking Porolo's hand back from above.

"what happened?"

This phenomenon made Alka a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be.

It is understandable that Xia Daiti was rejected. After all, she comprehended the spell when she became a toucher. In the eyes of many treasures, she is a person who has other treasures.

But Pororo didn't have this kind of situation. Pororo was just an ordinary toucher, and shouldn't be rejected by treasures.

It's weird.

After hearing Alka's words, the rest of the people did not understand.

"Lucilia, do you know about this situation?"

Hearing Alka's question, Lucilia on her shoulder shook her head: "I don't know, I haven't seen or heard of such a situation."

Well, the most knowledgeable person on the team doesn't know either.

It seems that the mystery of the treasure is quite deep.

So now it's just Jason and Julia.

"Jason, give it a try first."

Hearing this, Jason couldn't help rubbing his hands, stretched out his hand a little nervously, and covered the metal surface of the box.

At this time, the metal surface is still warm to a certain extent, not as cold as real metal.

Conveying its own pale magic power, it surged onto the metal surface.

With the influx of magic power, once the box did not return the magic power like Xia Dai mentioned to them before, but fell silent.

It seems to be tasting?

I don't know why Alka has such a feeling.

"Not very capable, quite picky." Alka next to him couldn't help complaining.

Everyone looked at Alka strangely, unable to understand what he meant.

Alka explained briefly.

Then he saw the metal box react, and a smile appeared on Jason's face when he encountered this situation.

Lines appeared on the originally mirror-smooth metal surface, and the lines emitted a red light like magma, spreading across the surface.

It seems to be forming some kind of pattern.

Magic power also began to feed back into Jason's body.

Jason closed his eyes, and a faint orange-red light radiated from his body, as if his body was ignited with flames.

Seeing such a situation, everyone had some experience, so they retreated slightly and stopped disturbing.

Seeing the movements of the crowd, Hu Anlu quickly took a few steps back.

It feels like on this ship, I have used up all the shocks of my life.

After a while, Jason opened his eyes, and he already knew what kind of ability the metal box treasure in front of him had.

But looking at Jason's expression, it was no longer the joy he had before, but rather stiff.

It seemed that he couldn't be happy.

This expression makes everyone feel a little strange, which is not like what he should show now.

According to Jason's habit, he should be smiling now.

Seeing this situation, Alka asked next to him, "What's wrong with Jason? Is there something wrong with this treasure?"

Hearing Alka's words, Jason's expression was a little weird, as if he didn't know what to say, he could only pat the metal box under his feet.

"How should I put it, let's see for ourselves."

After finishing speaking, the original tight fit, as if a whole piece of mirror metal had a gap in the middle.

The gap circled around, dividing the entire metal into two, and the piece on top, which seemed to be the cover, slowly floated up.

Revealed the true face inside.

This thing is indeed a box.

And with the opening of the box, the space inside the box and the space outside are distorted, and finally twisted and changed.

It took a while before they were completely combined, and there were no strange visions.

Regarding this abnormal phenomenon, Jason explained next to him: "The inside of this box can block time and stop the flow of time in the box. So when it is opened, it will have different effects with the time of closing, because it needs to change the internal The time of the time is reconciled with the time of the outside world."

"Besides, there's something in this box."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look inside. Because of the distortion of the space, they couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.

It's clear now.

Inside the box is an egg-like object.

The overall color of the egg is a gradient of red and blue intersecting and blending with each other, which looks quite handsome.The surface looks very smooth, and textures like hexagons can be seen.

It looks more like a work of art made of metal, polished to a mirror-like smoothness.

Jason walked up, squatted down, reached into the box, and gently lifted the eggs out.

The egg was lightly attached to his body and floated gently.

"The egg and the box are one, or..."

Alka asked from the side. He might have guessed the reason for Jason's strange expression.

Hearing Alka's question, Jason raised his head and shook his head helplessly.

"No, but this box is made for this egg. Although the box is a treasure, its function is to stop the time in the box."

Hearing this, everyone was slightly silent.

"It's just to freeze the time in the box? Can't it bring you any abilities?" Xia Daiti couldn't help asking beside him.

In this case, this box can only be classified as a powerful magic item, and it cannot reach the level of treasure at all.

But his ability is indeed outrageous, after all, he can stop the passage of time.

Although only in the box.

But the size of this box is not enough to hold a person.

Hearing Xia Dai's question, Jason nodded heavily.

"Really, there is only one ability."

In other words, this box was really made for this egg.

"Then logically speaking, it shouldn't be. It shouldn't be able to open it by just inputting magic power. You need a specific key or something."

After all, this box behaved like a treasure before, repelling some people but accepting others.

Although he repelled Pororo, he easily accepted Jason's magic power and allowed him to control the box.

If it was to protect the eggs inside, it would be too easy.

It doesn't seem like it's protective.

Everyone looked at Jason, waiting for his answer.

However, the magic power is growing in Jason's body, and the magic power in his body is increasing rapidly.

It took only a short while to reach the triple helix.

Feel the magic vacuum around you.

"It seems that this box can't be said to be useless. He at least made Jason mention the triple helix."

Alka said with a smile beside him.

This basic ability is still available in this box.

Even if the box didn't do much, it lifted Jason to the Triple Helix.

As long as Jason meditates a little hard during this period, he can stabilize his strength at this stage, even if he loses the treasure.

As the vacuum disappeared and the magic power filled it in, Jason opened his eyes profusely in sweat.

There was a smile on the originally stiff face.

"At least there's still something to be gained."

Alka pointed to the blue-red egg that was close to him: "Since a treasure was specially made for this egg, this egg should be very powerful, or does it have any effect?"

Hearing Alka's question, everyone also showed curious eyes.

Since the box is nothing to be concerned about, then this egg must have a story.

Otherwise, it would be too exaggerated to specially create a treasure to protect it.

Jason nodded when he heard this, and gently took off the egg that was attached to him with both hands.

"From the information given in the box, this egg was left a long time ago, and the box was specially built by the egg's parents to protect their children."

"As for the process and why, I don't know, but the reason why my magic power can be instilled is because this box has a screening process."

"He will eliminate the unqualified protectors and select a qualified protector to open the box. The moment I opened the box, I signed a contract with this egg."

Speaking of this, Jason's face couldn't help but become sad again.

Whoever puts this on will not be frustrated.

I thought it was a treasure at first, and grasped it happily, but it turned out to be a treasure, but it was a treasure that was almost useless.

It's useless, and it caused a lot of trouble, and concluded a contract with unknown things.

"contract?"

Hearing this and looking at Jason's frowning expression, Alka couldn't help frowning.

"What kind of contract is it harmful to you?"

This is what he cares about, if he puts his teammates in a dangerous situation because he found the treasure.

This is not worth the loss, and Alka must solve it.

Jason looked at the slightly worried eyes of everyone, smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, don't be so nervous, this contract is fair."

"Protect this egg as best I can, protect it and grow into its warrior, and when it hatches and grows, it will also give feedback to me.

There are advantages and disadvantages, but it just didn't tell me what the hatched thing would be. "

Everyone nodded when they heard the requirements of the contract, that's okay, I'm afraid of setting some unequal requirements.

The contract sounds okay.

"But the contract says that your strength will get feedback as the strength in this egg increases, which means that the creatures in this egg should be stronger."

Alka thought for a while and said.

If the object in the egg is not that kind of powerful race, there will be no such clause in the contract, because this clause is obviously giving benefits.

Hearing this, Jason also nodded. He felt the same way, so although he was a little frustrated, he could still accept it.

Thinking of this, he raised the egg in his hand.

"I just don't know what kind of thing will hatch here?"

Xia Daiti walked up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Congratulations, Jason."

Hearing Xia Daiti's words, Jason turned his head and looked at her with confusion in his eyes.

"Congratulations on what?"

"Congratulations on becoming a father, hahaha..."

Speaking of this, Xia Daiqi couldn't help showing a gloating smile on his face.

Hearing this, the rest couldn't help laughing.

Indeed, the thing hatched from this egg should be a baby.

Isn't Jason who signed a contract with this kind of baby the equivalent of a baby daddy?

Maybe that's how the contract came about.

Hearing Xia Dai's words and seeing everyone's smiles, Jason couldn't help turning his head to look at the egg in his hand, with a strange expression on his face.

He is still young.

Why did it suddenly become like this?
The expression on his face couldn't help but distressed.

After the jokes were over, Arka squatted down and looked at the metal box.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Jason, is this box useful for you? Or for your baby?"

"It's useless, don't say it's my baby, I just signed a contract with him."

Hearing Jason's words, Alka waved his hand casually, not listening at all.

Instead, think alone.

This box is a gift of an egg, and its function can be said to be extremely single, and it can't even be called a treasure.

If the box is big enough to hold a person, the value will be greatly increased.

For example, if a person is dying, putting him in this box will save his life.

The problem is that the box is too small.

It's okay to use it to hold things, but it's obviously impossible to use it to hold people or something, even children can't hold it.

Because the space inside it is really too small.

From the outside, it looks 1 meter long, 0.5 meters wide, and maybe 0.3 meters high.

But when you actually look at the internal volume, you will find that the thickness of this box accounts for almost half.

After all, it is a treasure chest used to protect the egg, as long as it can hold this egg, other places must be used to add thickness to protect the safety of this egg.

Naturally, it is of no great use.

No wonder he was much weaker than his dream catcher, Alka felt that whether he could make people into touchers was a question mark.

Of course, this is just an exaggeration, but the number of touches he can give is definitely not many, this is inevitable, and it is estimated that there may not even be 100 people.

And the most important thing is that as a treasure, he can't bring any benefits to Jason.

In addition to forcing Jason to the triple helix because of his own high energy.
