Chapter 129 Strengthening components! Go and come back again!


    (The end of the previous chapter has been modified.)


    ——————


    An empty and silent sanctuary.


    Doors that open by themselves.


    The crystal coffin lying peacefully in the room.


    ??These elements are superimposed together, and it seems that he can make a cameo on the set of a horror film. Shane can''t help but stand on end and break into a cold sweat.


    ?However, after all, he had experienced many battles and made the most correct choice the first time.


    "Walk!"


    ?Xia En grabbed Xian Ge beside him and rushed towards the exit of the shelter with An.


    ?When he ran to the corridor, he did not forget to pull the door handle hard and close the door again.


    ??If it weren''t for the fear of something changing later, he would even want to nail a circle of wooden boards on the door!


    Not long.


    ?Two people and one dragon rushed out of the gate of [Ember Sanctuary]. During this period, they did not encounter any obstruction and no special circumstances occurred.


    ??But Xia En was still worried and immediately rushed to the coast without stopping.


    Strangely, the return journey was also extremely smooth.


    Nothing strange happened.


    But the more this happened, the ominous premonition in Xia En''s heart became stronger.


    He didn’t think that the crystal coffin suddenly opened the door just to say hello to him.


    ?Xiange and An were also affected by Xia En''s emotions and kept their heads down while driving, not daring to say a word.


    Until I ran back to the beach of the island, I saw the [Black Swan] within my field of vision.


    Xia En breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "Am I really worrying too much?"


    “Then the crystal coffin is actually not that dangerous?”


    “Mr. Captain—”


    As soon as Xia En came up with this idea, he saw Joey on the deck waving to him and shouting: "There is a strange thing on the ship!"


    “Hiss!”


    ?Xia En took a breath of cold air, rushed to the boat, and took a closer look.


    ?That crystal coffin suddenly appeared on the deck of the [Black Swan]!


    Different from the quick glance just now, Shane could now clearly observe its entirety.


    ?This coffin seems to be carved from a whole piece of unknown crystal. The translucent crystal reflects a dark and chaotic halo.


    ?Looking closely, you can also see the strange lines around the box, which look like some kind of hieroglyphics or symbols with extraordinary qualities.


    Through the translucent crystal, Xia En could barely see lying inside...


    A fleshless, clothed skeleton?


    To be honest, Xia En was relieved when he saw the crystal coffin appearing on the deck.


    Compared with the fear of not knowing when the danger will come, at least this crystal coffin finally showed its unusual side.


    After calming down, Shane asked Joey.


    “When did this coffin appear?”


    After thinking for a while, Joey replied: "It should have been five minutes ago. At that time, I was about to wash the deck. I just took the tool and turned around and saw it appearing on the deck."


    “Five minutes…”


    ?Xia En’s thoughts were wandering.


    At that time, they should have reached the forest area close to the beach.


    The question is, how does the crystal coffin track itself and lock the Black Swan on the shore?


    ??This sudden ability, is it space teleportation, or...


    ?However, the more critical issue right now is—


    What should I do with this coffin?


    Because of Wayne Moriarty''s message, Shane was naturally very wary of the crystal coffin.


    ?Although there are many evil things on his ship, whether it is Xiao Zhan, A Pao or Keel, they are all existences that absolutely obey the captain''s orders.


    And this crystal coffin obviously won''t be so obedient.


    No wise captain would leave a dangerous entity on board the ship with unknown purpose.


    You know, even the federal chief is unwilling to mess with this crystal coffin!


    ?After thinking for a moment, Xia En walked to the crystal coffin and said in a serious tone.


    “If you have your own consciousness, tell me why you’re here!”


    ?However, neither the crystal coffin nor the skeleton in the crystal responded, lying quietly on the spot.


    "very good."


    Xia En said coldly: "Fei Ya!"


    "exist!"


    “Wash it with holy steam!”


    Fei Ya didn’t think much and responded decisively: “Yes!”


    For the existence of evil sects, of course, we must use sanctity to deal with them. This is also the role of priests.


    ?However, after Fei Ya used steam to purify it, the crystal coffin still showed no response.


    Xia En was not surprised. He took out the iron chains on the ship and tied the crystal coffin tightly several times to ensure that the lid of the coffin would not open. He also hung several heavy objects on it. Then, drive the [Black Swan] to the sea some distance away from the island.


    咚!


    ?Xia En kicked the crystal coffin off the deck.


    The coffin fell straight into the sea, causing a splash of water, and then slowly sank into the deeper water.


    ?Until the shadow of the crystal coffin was no longer visible, Xia En relaxed a little, returned to the ship, and docked on the shore of the isolated island.


    ?Joy asked curiously: "Mr. Captain, is that coffin really so dangerous?"


    “I think it’s not as scary as the cannon on the ship, it’s quite honest.”


    Xia En said seriously: "You can never make a big mistake by being careful. You can''t wait until it shows a dangerous side before regretting it."


    Then, he ordered the crew: "Before the [Black Swan] recovers, we have to rest on this island for a period of time."


    “Fei Ya, see if you can use the [Youjin] you got earlier to repair the hull of the ship.”


    “An, you and Joey are responsible for hunting on the island, collecting food and wood, and doing what you can. If you encounter an invincible beast, call for help as soon as possible.”


    “Xian Ge, continue to decipher the magic notebook and record the spells.”


    ?All the crew members responded: "Yes, Captain!"


    There is no idle person on board the Black Swan. Everyone has their own things to do.


    Xia En smiled: "However, everyone should be tired today. Let''s go to bed early after eating."


    ?The experience of this day was nothing short of exciting and thrilling.


    ?First the pursuit and escape battle with the "Blood Duke", and then the exploration of the mysterious island, even with Xia En''s nerves being tenacious, it was inevitable that he would feel a little tired.


    But before resting, he had one last thing to do.


    Soon, Xia En came to the turbine room deep in the cabin.


    Not far away, the steam turbine was sitting there quietly, without making a grunting sound to welcome him as usual.


    Due to the side effects of [Overload], it fell into a dormant state.


    “Xiao Zhan, I’ve really worked **** you today.”


    ?Shaan touched the shell of the steam turbine and said softly: "As a reward, I will make you stronger!"


    The next moment.


    The dark and mysterious [Crystal of Filth] was injected into the body of the steam turbine along his palm.


    A strange transformation began to happen slowly.


    【Crystal of filth -50! 】


    【Estimated strengthening time: 7 days! 】


    What Xia En has to do is very simple, which is to complete the strengthening of several components while the [Black Swan] is docked on the island.


    As the same saying goes, any resource is only meaningful if it is converted into combat power.


    Have been sailing at sea for a while, so there is no chance to strengthen.


    Now that we finally have a gap to reach the shore, we naturally need to strengthen it vigorously.


    Subsequently, Shane followed the same example and strengthened the keel and artillery.


    ?【Heavy Whispering Defense Cannon (+)】


    【Filth Crystal -40! 】


    【Estimated strengthening time: 7 days! 】


    …


    【Dark Secret Dragon Bone (+)】


    【Filthy Crystal-60】


    【Estimated strengthening time: 10 days! 】


    …


    Since [Storm Ray Sail] and [Sea Crystal Wooden Hull] were damaged in the previous naval battle, they cannot be enhanced for the time being.


    ?Xia En had no choice but to reserve 109 points of filthy crystals, ready to use them when he stopped at the next island.


    As the power of [Filth Crystal] enters these components.


    The obscure and profound light and shadow flow and linger on them, urging them to transform into a more mysterious and weird direction.


    ??Xia En''s eyes flashed with excitement and anticipation.


    ?This time he invested almost twice as much [Filth Crystal] as last time.


    Obviously it will bring him a lot of surprises.


    But suddenly, Joey’s exclamation came from above the cabin.


    “Mr. Captain, it’s not good!”


    ?Xia En''s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked out of the cabin and looked up.


    I saw a crystal coffin lying there peacefully on the deck, just like before.
