However, knowing he was going out to sea, Bai Ye still crammed some knowledge about navigation.
In the current situation, Bai Ye could not reverse it. So what should he do?
It was simple: find a landmark.
It was not easy to find a landmark in the vast sea, but it was not impossible. The most direct way was an island.
As long as an island was found and matched with a sea chart, one could roughly know their position.
Secondly, as long as one kept moving in a single direction, they would eventually reach the regional boundary. Although it was still the sea beyond the boundary, at least they could consult the sea chart and know their approximate location.
For now, all Bai Ye could do was wait. Until a landmark was found and his position could be determined, Bai Ye could do nothing.
Alternatively, Bai Ye thought he could kill two more sea beasts to trigger the next part of the hidden quest. Perhaps the subsequent quest content could give him some hints.
Bai Ye thought as he leaned against the back of his Riding Dragon. Since he had nothing else to do, he hadn't drawn his gacha for the day yet.
Bai Ye thought as he tossed out the gacha machine.
The moment the gacha machine was about to be thrown into the sea, Bai Ye snapped his fingers. A stream of water surged from the sea surface and caught the falling gacha machine.
The native's mystical gacha drawing method couldn't be used. After all, where could he find natives in the vast sea? So, Bai Ye had to do it himself.
Then...
A green egg...
Another day where his head had to be a little green, but life could go on.
Bai Ye was too lazy to see what it was. He casually broke open the gacha, tossed it into the sea, and drew the second one.
Good heavens, an old acquaintance appeared.
Great Inventor (Ability) (White): Can randomly invent a technological item every hour.
A sense of grief and indignation surged from Bai Ye's heart. It was one thing for it to give him trash, but it was too much for it to give him the cream of the crop among trash.
Sighing, Bai Ye consumed a fragment of a God Stone to draw a golden gacha.
This time, it was acceptable. No surprises, no shocks.
A sword called "Mist Cutter's Afterglow," which could increase all elemental damage and then imbue the weapon with an imprint called "Mist Cutter's Seal." As the imprint stacked, it could further increase the elemental damage of the weapon used.
It was the bottom-tier existence among golden-quality weapons, a weapon that judged its user.
However, to be fair, for Chosen Ones who mainly frequented magical areas, this sword's effect was quite formidable.
This was because various things and abilities in magical areas emphasized elemental damage, and Mist Cutter's Afterglow could increase all elemental damage by 24%. With the latter imprint stacked to its highest level, it could further increase the elemental damage used by 56%. xxs壹贰
Therefore, Bai Ye's evaluation was: in the right hands, this thing was devastating.
In the wrong hands, it was useless.
In Bai Ye's hands, it was passable. The elemental damage brought by the weapon could not trigger Mist Cutter's Afterglow. However, Bai Ye's Rumble-Rumble Fruit could certainly be considered elemental and could trigger the effect of Mist Cutter's Afterglow.
However, Bai Ye didn't care much. What was the difference between killing someone in one blow and killing them in two?
What Bai Ye cared more about was that this thing was a weapon, and the Steel Slime could grow again. The King's Treasury gained a new member, and the Tai Chi Wheel also had more to feed on.
After going through the motions, Bai Ye put away the gacha machine and yawned, intending to sleep. But at this moment...
Riding Dragon raised its head and let out a cry, then slowly slowed down.
Bai Ye turned around, hugged Riding Dragon's neck, and asked, "What's going on?"
Riding Dragon cried twice, then lowered its head to look at the sea surface.
Bai Ye followed Riding Dragon's gaze and saw a large amount of brown liquid floating on the sea surface.
Bai Ye sniffed and then scooped up some seawater.
"Is this diesel?"
Bai Ye frowned. Diesel on the sea?
Bai Ye leaned over and then discovered it was not just diesel.
There were a pile of things floating on the sea surface. As Riding Dragon moved forward, a huge metal shell drifted towards Bai Ye.
The metal shell was like an irregular cylinder, feeling like the outer casing of something. Not far away, there were also some shattered metal fragments.
It looked like something had been blown to pieces by an explosion, because Bai Ye saw scorch marks around many of the metal fragments, as well as dents formed by the impact.
"Is it a ship?"
Bai Ye didn't think so.
Bai Ye couldn't identify what these things would be when put together, but the metal shell and the surrounding shattered metal plates were purplish-red.
No ship would paint its hull in such a color, right?
As Bai Ye was thinking, another piece of metal floated past him.
"No way?" Bai Ye exclaimed as he looked at the object, "You're kidding me, right?"
What floated past Riding Dragon was clearly a section of a metal finger.
The metal finger was about three meters long. Looking inside the broken end, one could still see sparking cables.
A finger, so huge, metal, cables...
An image involuntarily flashed through Bai Ye's mind.
If lightsabers were a man's romance, then this thing was a man's ultimate romance.
What boy wouldn't love mechs?
None, right? Probably none!
However, the things in front of Bai Ye were clearly not a complete mech, or more accurately, they should be a damaged mech.
In fact, a damaged mech was even more shocking to Bai Ye than a mech.
Super quality!
There were definitely strengths and weaknesses among mechs, but...
All mechs were super quality, that was without a doubt, because there were no complete mechs.
Even the gacha machine couldn't dispense a complete mech!
So, a mech was blown to pieces?
Bai Ye was thinking when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked down, and then Bai Ye's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
A huge dark shadow passed by from the seabed, and a massive shadow appeared.
Bai Ye immediately leaped up, took out his beast-taming ball, and said, "Riding Dragon, come back!"
The beast-taming ball glowed, and then Riding Dragon returned to the ball.
And at that moment...
With a boom!
The sea surface split open, and a giant sea beast suddenly burst out from the seabed, opening its mouth to swallow Bai Ye.
Sizzle!
Bai Ye's figure flashed, turning into a bolt of lightning, moving hundreds of meters backward. Then he waved his hand downwards, and the sea surface immediately churned, pushing up a giant wave that caught Bai Ye.
In front of Bai Ye was a giant sea beast, estimated to be between 130 to 150 meters tall. It resembled a standing bull, with metallic-sheened armor all over its body, a pair of horn-like objects on its head, thick forelimbs, and a huge tail.
