We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

"This is the Coral City..."

At this moment, Xia En suddenly understood the fearful attitude of many sailors towards this place.

The sight itself is disheartening enough, and having to perform dangerous salvage operations among those corals is really not an easy job.

It’s no wonder that there are still a large number of secret treasures in the Coral City that have not yet been discovered.

These strange corals undoubtedly form a natural protective umbrella, blocking the exploration of outsiders.

But he was surprised, and Xia En was not deterred by it.

On the contrary, a desire to explore and conquer emerged in his heart, like the urge to overcome each level in a game and pass it perfectly.

Maybe he has the adventurous gene in his body?

"The first investigation of Coral City has officially begun!"

Xia En said to himself, then swung his arms and swam down quickly.

After getting closer, the strange and strange features of the coral appeared in front of Xia En's eyes more clearly, including branch-like structures, soft tentacles floating in the seawater, and dense herpes zoster.

Coupled with the bright colors, patients with trypophobia are afraid of fainting on the spot.

Xia En endured the discomfort and looked down at the area below him.

Due to the coverage of coral, many buildings are difficult to distinguish, and it is impossible to tell the difference between the upper city and lower city.

Shane simply went looking for the church’s iconic spire structure.

Soon, in a piece of low coral, he saw a bulge that stood out from the crowd.

Xia En took a closer look and found that it was not a church, but an ancient black tower.

Based on the idea of ​​​​"come here", he planned to enter the tower to search for something.

Not long after, Shane found the window on the upper floor of the tower.

Although the outside of the window was also covered with a layer of coral, this was not a problem for Xia En. He directly worked a miracle with his hands, tearing outwards with both hands, breaking the coral in half.

Some lavender blood spread in the sea water.

Shane frowned slightly.

He vaguely felt that this "blood" was a little weird, but he couldn't put it into words for the moment.

Pushing open the half-opened window, Xia En swam into the tower.

The layout of this room is simple and clean, with only one bed and one cushion. The so-called "minimalism" is nothing more than this.

It doesn't look like an ordinary person's bedroom, but rather like the residence of an ascetic monk.

And Xia En looked intently, and there was a male corpse sitting cross-legged on the cushion.

He was wearing monk's robes, his head was spotless, his eyes were closed, his expression was peaceful, as if he had just fallen into a deep sleep.

However, what surprised Xia En was not the identity of this man as a monk, but that his body was intact without any trace of decay!

If Xia En hadn't sensed the slightest bit of life in him, he would have even thought he was a living person.

You know, in seawater rich in microorganisms, corpses decompose faster.

But the monk in front of him could keep his body from rotting. It was really a miracle!

"Could it be said that this master has tempered his body to the point where it is indestructible?"

Xia En was just guessing.

Suddenly, the monk suddenly opened his eyes!

The peaceful expression on that face collapsed in an instant, and was replaced by an indescribable terror and despair.

He opened his mouth, and the sound that did not exist in reality penetrated directly through the sea water and sounded in Xia En's brain.

"Failed, we failed! The road is impassable!"

"His Majesty the King is crazy, His Majesty the Pope is dead, the gods... the gods are a lie! No one can save us..."

"Failed, failed, failed, failed, failed, failed, failed..."

After a series of frenzied murmurs, the monk's voice suddenly became rapid and high-pitched, and he screamed.

"The sea is coming! He is coming too!"

next moment!

The monk's body also suddenly underwent strange changes.

Colorful and ugly corals quickly emerged from his eye sockets, mouth, and ear holes, growing together at an extraordinary speed.

Immediately, more corals were rushing to burst his skin and expose it to the sea water.

In just a moment, the lifeless corpse expanded several times, and its surface seemed to be covered with a layer of distorted coral armor.

The original appearance of the monk is completely unrecognizable.

"What the hell?"

Shane's heart skipped a beat.

This is the first time he has seen such an evil and weird thing!

Before Xia En could think more, the "coral zombie" in front of him punched him aggressively.

boom!

Xia En met with a backhand punch.

The two fists collided, and the water flow shook violently, even the tall tower was shaking slightly.

[The power of the ship soul -5! 】

"What a powerful force!"

Xia En felt awe-struck in his heart. After upgrading the Black Swan's firepower attributes, this was the first enemy that was evenly matched with him in terms of strength.

This punch was not without damage to the Coral Zombie.

Part of the coral on its surface collapsed, but in the blink of an eye, more deformed coral grew.

"immortal?"

Xia En observed for a moment and quickly rejected this conjecture.

Compared with the initial speed at which coral emerged from the body surface, the recovery speed of coral zombies after being injured is significantly slower.

"It seems like it's just a sandbag with a thicker health bar."

Thinking of this, Xia En no longer worried, stepped hard on the ground with his legs, and quickly approached, fighting the coral zombie in close combat.

In this small room, there is almost no room to hide.

Xia En simply did not dodge, and directly engaged in the most primitive fight with the coral zombie.

Fists, legs, elbows, knees... every part of the body became Shane's weapon, turning into strong winds and rain to hit the coral zombie's body.

Punch to the flesh, hearty!

Although the coral zombie is not bad in strength and resilience, it has been dead for a long time and its movements are stiff and slow. Naturally, it is no match for Xia En.

After a while, the walls and floors in the room were full of cracks, and the bed was torn apart, as if it had been destroyed by two giant beasts.

Shane pulled his fist out of the monk's chest and sighed.

"Master, I'm offended!"

"If you want to blame...just blame these corals for not knowing what's good and what's good!"

Suddenly, a few lines of information appeared in front of Xia En's eyes.

[Kill alienated coral zombies]

[Get the trophy: Broken Coral]

[Quality: Poor]

[Type: Material]

[Description: Coral is the corpse of countless dead coral polyps. New coral polyps will reproduce on the old corpses, generation after generation, in a cycle. 】

【Please step over my body and move forward! 】

"Coral polyp corpse? What a weird name..."

Xia En touched his chin and thought: "Does it mean... a corpse parasitized by coral polyps?"

On earth, coral polyps certainly do not have the ability to be parasitic.

But in this vast sea of ​​extraordinary pollution, anything can happen.

Then, another text appeared.

[It has been detected that "Secret Sea Crystal" (special) is present in the corpse. Should it be absorbed? 】
