#292 - Chapter 292 The Wheels Are Rolling
"Teacher Cen, how much longer will it take for you to reach Level 5?"
Able to create such fierce waves layer upon layer, Cen Xi's strength in their eyes was already no different from a Level 5 esper.
Even Qi Jing, who had seen Yu Ding take action, felt her strength was a bit exaggerated.
"I don't know, it depends on fate, but I should be close."
Cen Xi's attitude towards this matter was very optimistic and confident. She had neither great pursuit nor great anxiety about reaching Level 5.
"The battle power between Level 4 and Level 5 isn't that different, it's just that there's a probability of having an extra skill."
Top-tier Level 4 espers are likely to surpass Level 5 espers.
If Cen Xi was regarded as a Level 5 esper, then her strength would seem much more normal.
A Level 5 esper can move the earth, so a whole night of big waves is nothing.
"There's a large mutated beast blocking the road ahead. Get ready to go, I'm going to eat some potato chips."
As soon as Cen Xi finished speaking, the radar started beeping again.
Three thousand meters directly in front of them, a forty-meter giant fish was waiting there.
Qi Jing twirled the radar in his hand, then quickly restarted it. It could still display normally.
It seemed that the radar wasn't broken yesterday, but the stone at the previous checkpoint had the function of shielding the radar.
"Should we dodge it or fire?"
"Fire. I have special shells for dealing with large mutated beasts here."
Seeing Qi Jing conjure a basket of red shells, Yan Cheng and the others instantly understood the cause and effect.
"Qi Jing, you dog, you actually hid so many shells. You didn't tell your brothers about such a good thing, you wanted to laugh at me, right?"
Yan Cheng had already planned to become a tool for loading shells. He didn't expect Qi Jing to hide this, not bad, not bad.
"What's the use of these shells?"
Snatching the basket of shells from his hand, Yan Cheng asked Qi Jing while sticking his butt out as he loaded them into the cannon.
Qi Jing said:
"These red shells can produce a secondary explosion after hitting the target. This secondary explosion will cause a large amount of high-temperature burning, which cannot be extinguished even in water. It's very painful if it hits a large mutated beast's body."
As he spoke, he pressed the fire command.
Bang!
The air was still pretty good, and they could vaguely see a small red flame rising on the distant water surface.
"A few more shots, don't save them for this guy, who knows, he might have several boxes in his space."
Yan Cheng took the radar and clicked frantically at the big fish, wishing he could fire all the shells in two seconds.
"Slow down, slow down."
Hearing Qi Jing's dissuasion, Miao Kui laughed loudly:
"Hurts, doesn't it? Haha, told you to hide them."
Qi Jing said:
"No, no, no, I'm just afraid your hands will get tired. I still have dozens of boxes of these shells. You won't be able to fire them all in a short time."
Seeing several large boxes of shells appear behind Qi Jing, Yan Cheng's eyes widened.
"You're a real dog, even more dog than a dog, meow."
However, he didn't stop clicking, but was determined to finish firing this box of shells.
When the ship passed the fish's corpse, the crowd only found a huge, burning skeleton floating on the sea.
The main body of this skeleton was round. In addition to the central fish bones contained in normal fish, there were external bones like ribs, densely packed like Eren, and with many thorns.
"Damn, this thing has so many bones, how is it floating on the sea?"
"Looking at this bone, it should be a mutated beast called a Spiked Ball Roller Fish, also known as a Sea Wheel. Its ability is to control its own buoyancy, allowing it to roll on the surface of the sea."
Tan Zuoyin looked at the subtitles on the Xingtian AI and continued:
"Its surface has many thorns, which can use buoyancy to achieve rapid sinking and rolling, and then crash into prey.
It doesn't let go of creatures on the sea surface or creatures in the sea, but it has a habit of liking to bask in the sun to supplement calcium."
Many bones, needs calcium, no problem.
"Fang Sheng, go get some of its bones. Once this guy dies, its buoyancy will be permanently fixed at this moment. Therefore, the bones of Spiked Ball Roller Fish that die on the sea surface are very valuable, with great buoyancy, hardness, and are suitable for making ships."
Upon hearing this, Qi Jing immediately flew over, cut several large bones with his umbrella sword and put them into his space.
One section for collection, and the rest for making ship materials.
Taking advantage of the gap while Qi Jing was collecting materials, Yan Cheng said to Miao Kui, who was slowing down:
"Old Miao, what's your transformation today?"
"Nothing, just an ordinary girl without powers."
"Whoa, so you steered the ship yesterday with your own real skills, amazing, I'd call you the strongest helmsman!"
During the initial period of the waves, Miao Kui mainly relied on the power of magic enhancement, but not afterwards.
He knew that only when he had nothing was he the most real, because those abilities couldn't be retained, and cultivating his own abilities was the most important thing.
So, during the last period of his transformation, he gradually weakened the use of magic and let his muscles take over.
"Actually, my legs were still a little weak at one or two o'clock, but then it was fine. Once you get used to it, you're not so scared."
Thinking of this, Miao Kui realized that he really wanted a chair at two o'clock.
He brought a high stool over and sat on it, looking at the steering wheel in his hand, it was no different from driving a car now.
"OK, done, move forward!"
After Qi Jing came back, they accelerated again and set off.
Seventeen hours later, they finally saw the island at the end.
This was an island several times larger than Yuan Island, and many mutated beasts could be vaguely seen running around on it.
"It's time to take out my Origin Power Hand Cannon again, watch me take out one kid with one shot."
Yan Cheng was already fully armed. He was wearing a set of battle armor with a diving system, complete with night vision, damage reduction, scanning, and exoskeleton enhancement functions. He also held a Origin Power Hand Cannon, a big consumer of origin stones.
The rest were the same.
Seeing that they were all ready, Cen Xi walked over and said:
"This time the mission is to find a Bell Fruit."
Yan Cheng blinked: "That's it?"
"That's it, that's what it says on it." Cen Xi pointed to the bracelet on her left hand.
There was only this sentence on it, nothing else, and this message was just sent.
Tan Zuoyin said: "The second level is like this, not only testing our combat ability and searching ability, but also testing our knowledge reserve or knowledge search ability."
From just now, she found that all the networked devices in her hand could not be connected, and even the radar became unusable.
No matter how you look at it, this level requires the use of network resources.
Fortunately, she had anticipated this situation and had the AI download all the known item illustrations and mutated beast illustrations, which could be used even without a network, otherwise she would really be at a loss.
"Let me see what this Bell Fruit is."
