Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 859 - 860: Adventure Seekers

Adventure Seekers.

A unique profession on the continent of Ancita, they accept orders from major adventurer guilds and venture into unknown regions of the continent to explore. Not only do they receive high rewards from the guilds, but they can also occasionally earn extra income by bringing back various novelties from uncharted territories. Therefore, although adventurers face unimaginable threats at all times, they are also well-compensated for it. It is a profession that walks on the edge of a blade.

In the past few hundred years ago, the most popular exploration areas for adventurers were the vast Death Swamp region in the southern part of the Sadik Empire, the Abyss Valley in the central region, and the vast Winter Forest in the north. However, after hundreds of years of tireless work by adventurer predecessors, the Death Swamp and Abyss Valley have been almost fully explored, and the financial reports and ancient books that could be obtained have been divided up by the predecessors. As a result, the number of adventurers heading to these two places has become lower by the time.

As for the Winter Forest?

The death rate there was too high...

Due to the risk-reward imbalance and the control of various empires and the Night Wish City, adventurers have recently given up on the idea of going to the Winter Forest.

Although the three holy lands of adventure have now lost their appeal, the adventurer industry has not only not withered in recent years but has instead developed with a brilliant shine. The reason for this is the discovery of a new adventuring ground - the illusory sea outside the continent.

As we all know, the continent of Ancita is shrouded by a boundless sea. As for what lies at the end of the sea? This question has not stopped being pondered by the people of Ancita for thousands of years. Many have even put it into practice and embarked on the path of exploration themselves.

However, people soon gave up on the idea of exploring the sea. Of course, what discouraged people from exploring was not the countless terrifying sea monsters lurking in the ocean, but the "Dead Sea" that envelops everything on the outskirts of the continent.

After traveling hundreds of thousands of kilometers from the continental coastline, one enters the legendary Dead Sea realm. The Dead Sea has no buoyancy, and ships simply cannot navigate in this area. At the same time, in this realm, all powers cannot be mobilized, whether it be magic, energy, or holy energy. Those who enter it will instantly be stripped of their power. The famous powerhouses of the human world will instantly turn into ordinary mortals upon entering the Dead Sea realm.

In addition, the Dead Sea is filled with unknown particles that can erode the soul. Even the strongest on the Ancita continent dare not enter the Dead Sea realm casually. It is known that even the once-mighty and invincible Holy Dragon King Membeli, who attempted to explore the Dead Sea, ultimately failed, and the entire dragon shamefully ran back.

Under these background conditions, exploring the ocean is undoubtedly a very foolish thing to do. However, in the past few years, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.

With the joint efforts of the Black Rose family and the Elf race, a material called Hermo was developed. Ships covered with this material can navigate the Dead Sea unimpeded! At the same time, a potion that can briefly resist the corrosive particles was successfully developed.

Thus, exploring the Dead Sea is no longer a pipe dream. A brand-new blue ocean industry has been opened up. With the vigorous matchmaking of certain forces, exploring the Dead Sea has gradually become a new industry chain on the Ancita continent! Countless once-obscure villages near the ocean have overnight turned into well-known port cities, receiving one adventurer after another who intends to conquer the sea.

Captain Kain of the Moto is one of these adventurers. Having fantasized countless times about making a name for himself and becoming a great adventurer, he seems to have truly fulfilled his long-cherished wish this time.

Gazing at the magnificent and epic-flavored building in front of him, the disheveled and miserable Kain was directly stunned on the spot, looking around in disbelief. Not only Kain but also the dozens of crew members who followed him to this ruin were also dumbfounded.

"My God, this, this is... a hall, a palace, such a place?! There’s actually a palace?!!" While exclaiming, Kain forcefully pinched his thigh with his fingers to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.

A few hours ago, they were unfortunately encountered the most feared Dead Sea waves while exploring the Dead Sea. Faced with the Dead Sea waves, the powerless Kain was once in despair. However, they, who thought they would be buried in the sea, miraculously survived?! Not only that, but their Moto also arrived at an unprecedented small island with the help of the waves?!

What’s more exciting is that there is actually a huge ruin on this small island that resembles a palace?!

I’ve heard before that some colleagues, while sailing in the Dead Sea, landed on an unknown island and discovered a large number of treasures left by ancient people, thus gaining a fortune! And now, what I’ve found is not just treasures, but a ruin that may contain countless treasures?!!

Hahahahaha!!

This, this time!

I’m really going to soar!!

I won’t be looked down upon by those people in the family anymore...

Realizing this point, Kain, like his colleagues, couldn’t help but show a look of ecstasy. The fatigue accumulated from weeks of sailing was instantly shattered, replaced by an indescribable excitement.

It seems that encountering the Dead Sea waves this time is not a bad thing!!

Slowly raising his hand to touch the ancient atmosphere-filled, unknown text-engraved bricks on the wall beside him, Kain’s involuntarily revealed a greedy smile. His body also trembled with excitement.

The feel of this wall?

It seems that the materials of this building are extraordinary? It’s an unprecedented material.

Coupled with this text that looks rich in historical charm at first glance,

Even if it’s just a brick! If I can bring it back to Holy Lomari! I will definitely make a bloody fortune!

Although he knew that there must be other more valuable things in this palace, Kain was already too excited to walk after just realizing the value of this wall.

Looking at this dozens of meters high wall, Kain excitedly raised his hand and waved:

"Brothers! Hurry up and take down the bricks on this wall!! As long as we can bring them back, we’ll have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives!!"

"Ahooooo!!!"

As soon as Kain’s words came out, what responded to him was the excited roar of his subordinates.

The crew members, who had been eager for a long time, immediately rushed up with tools, ready to directly knock down this invaluable wall! Not only the crew members, but Kain himself could no longer restrain his eagerness. He swung his shovel and rushed up.

"For the early realization of financial freedom! Everyone work hard!"

For a while, the originally quiet island was instantly filled with the noisy construction sound of kingkingkongkong

However, after a period of enthusiastic work, the sweaty Kain slowly put down the pickaxe in his hand and stared at the wall in front of him, panting.

"Strange?? This wall, how come it’s so hard??!"

Glancing at the pickaxe that had already broken in two in his hand, Kain’s eyes were full of puzzlement. Not only him, but all the crew members also encountered the same problem. No matter how hard they tried, this ancient brick wall, which looked fragile, remained motionless.

What the hell?

In theory, this kind of weathered building should be easy to dismantle, right?!

Why is it so hard??

Kain couldn’t figure it out.

But naturally, he wouldn’t give up because of this. He planned to go back to the ship and get the blasting tools! Even if there was a possibility of damaging this ancient building, it didn’t matter! As long as he could bring back some antiques to sell, that would be enough!

Thinking of this, Kain’s eyes rekindled with hope.

However, before he could put it into practice, an unusual footstep sound suddenly entered his ears, causing the captain’s face to change drastically.

Huh?

There are other people on this island?!

"Who is it!!!"

Gripping the pickaxe in his hand, Kain suddenly turned his head and looked behind him with a wary expression, ready for battle. Undoubtedly, if the person appearing here was another adventurer, Kain would not hesitate to tear them apart! After all, he didn’t want to share the benefits with others!

However, after clearly seeing the figure walking into the hall, Kain suddenly froze, his eyes full of surprise.

"Huh? Wo-wo...woman??"

That’s right. At this moment, under the solemn gaze of Kain and the others, the person slowly walking into the hall was a graceful young girl.

This was an extraordinary girl. Her unique hair color, half gray-white and half crimson, attracted everyone’s attention the moment she appeared.

The girl had a delicate face and a graceful and elegant body, exuding a gentle and natural aura. Her brows were like gathered frost and snow, with an otherworldly beauty, as if she were a fairy who did not eat the food of the mortal world.

Especially those unique star pupils, filled with a soul-hooking charm...

Undoubtedly, the person appearing in front of everyone was such a thoroughly stunning beauty.

The burly men who had been sailing for months without seeing a woman were all stunned on the spot when they saw such a beautiful young girl.

However, the next moment, this beautiful young girl, who was full of literary grace, said vulgar words that were completely inconsistent with her temperament under the startled gaze of everyone:

"Damn it, you stinking rotten animals? What the hell are you doing? Do you want to make my master go bald?! Do you have a death wish?!!"
