Standing on the deck, Saine's face was somewhat pale beneath the black hood. →

Not long ago, their small Alchemy Powered Ship ran head-on through the eye of a giant ocean storm.

The power of the ocean in the Wizard World gave Saine a glimpse into what is both grandeur and terror.

If it weren't for having the correct navigation route and an absolutely sharp reaction speed.

Saine guessed that the only way to get through that terrifying storm head-on was to force it through.

Without level three, or even Demigod-level strength, there's no point in even thinking about it!

The powerful Storm Power was enough to twist a bundle of steel with a diameter of over 100 meters into a pretzel.

The area below sea level is also fraught with danger, with many visible and invisible whirlpools Sea Eye that could drag any terrestrial creature into the abyss.

This trip to the South Coast marked Saine's first real experience of the ocean.

If the Magma Sea of Poison Fire Green Flame World is a docile lamb, then the Endless South Sea of Wizard World is a sleeping Giant Dragon.

What's even more astonishing is that this Giant Dragon actually meant you no harm; she simply took a short nap, and that was enough to decide the demise of hundreds of millions of lives.

Given the depth and capacity of the Wizard World, billions of living beings are nothing. After all, Green Source Land alone has dozens of human kingdoms and a total population of over 10 billion.

This is only the territory of a relatively weak Holy Tower...

"These fish are interesting." Although his pale complexion had not fully recovered, Saine squatted on the deck with great interest, examining some thumb-sized silver fish that had emerged from the ocean.

The storm area we just passed through was enough to shred any large creature, but these slender silver fish, about the size of a thumb, were able to swim through it safely.

It must be said that nature is wondrous and biological evolution is amazing.

A translucent test tube was taken out of Saine's pocket; he had collected several silver fish that were still alive.

When observed in sunlight, these silverfish even have a straight bloodline visible beneath their light silver scales.

"This is Silver Flood Dragon Fish. It is said that they contain certain dragon blood factors."

"The longest one I've ever seen was a Silver Flood Dragon Fish the size of a palm. They only live in places where storms converge."

"I heard that a Second-Level Magician once collected a large number of Silver Flood Dragon Fish in an attempt to extract enough dragon blood from them."

"I don't know if it's real or fake," Popeye Cook said, walking a short distance from Saine.

At this moment, Cook had taken off his white coat, revealing his strong and firm muscles.

Just now, while passing through the eye of the storm, the Level 1 Knight in front of me jumped onto the top of the Golden Wheel and used his own flesh and blood and strength to forcibly turn the sails, and with the help of the ship's alchemical power, we were able to successfully sail away from the danger zone.

A few streaks of blood, washed and churned by the Storm Power, appeared on Cook's strong chest, demonstrating that Cook and the Goatee Old Man were indeed earning a hard-earned living in the Endless South Sea.

As a registered Mage of the Azure Source Holy Tower, Saine may have temporarily acted like Black Magician, but after so many years, Saine is no longer associated with ordinary Black Magician.

From some details, it's clear that Saine isn't the kind of ferocious being.

At least when passing through the eye of the storm, the Level 1 Knight Cook, who was tumbling between the masts, caught a glimpse of Saine using Magic Shield to protect the Construct Master Yuli was even paler and weaker.

If they were true Black Magician, who would care about the lives of their slave creatures!

Of course, it's not that Saine was particularly concerned about Yuli's situation; he just didn't want the Soul Slave he had worked so hard to acquire to die before he could even use her once, because of such an accident.

Cook's initiative to strike up a conversation can also be seen as a gesture of goodwill.

At this moment, there are five Level 1 Knight and Mage on this ship.

Aside from Cook, the old man with the goatee, and Saine, there were two other passengers, but they stayed in their rooms and didn't appear on the deck like Saine.

Cook was a rather talkative guy, and since Saine wasn't the cold-blooded, ruthless Black Magician, Cook didn't mind striking up a conversation with him.

After glancing at Cook, Saine pondered for a moment and said, "It should be true. There are indeed traces of dragon blood factors in this kind of Silver Flood Dragon Fish."

"Oh? How did you know that, Master?" Cook's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask.

With a cold smile, Saine replied, "Because I have seen real Giant Dragon and pure-blooded dragons."

Saine's reply and inexplicable cold laugh sent a chill down Cook's spine, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Saine seemed to have guessed Cook's true thoughts, and his smile was more like a mockery. He said, "If you want to be like that Second-Level Magician and obtain dragon blood by hunting a large number of Silver Flood Dragon Fish, you'll have a lot of time to spare."

"You might struggle for a hundred years and still not get a gallon of dragon's blood."

"In comparison, if you are really interested in dragon blood, you might as well go back to that storm-gathering place and give it a try."

"Since there are special fish like the Silver Flood Dragon Fish that contain trace amounts of dragon blood factors, there is a high probability that there are other special marine creatures with higher concentrations of dragon blood."

Cook shook his head repeatedly at Saine's suggestion.

What a joke! With the strength of Level 1 Knight, repeatedly traversing the Storm Gathering Grounds, Cook must be tired of living and bored.

The two were not speaking loudly, but anyone paying attention could still hear them.

A low chuckle came from the second deck, and at the same time, a man dressed in a brown mage's robe appeared.

"Does this master have extensive knowledge of dragons?" the Brown-Robed Magician asked Saine as soon as he appeared.

Saine had little interest in communicating or striking up conversations with strangers.

He found numerous records and descriptions of dragon-like creatures in the Holy Tower Library and Luluman's private library simply because of the dragon blood his mentor Luluman, had given him.

Furthermore, in this environment, Saine had no interest in exchanging academic ideas with unfamiliar Mage.

Saine's indifferent attitude made the Brown-Robed Magician slightly embarrassed.

But before he could say anything more, a roar came from Cook next to him.

"Where did this sea creature come from, daring to block your grandfather's path!"

With Cook's roar, several thick columns of water rose from the surrounding sea level, faintly enveloping the alchemy ship, which was less than two hundred meters long.

A distinctive metallic humming sound emanated from the cockpit atop the ship's cabin. This was likely the unique sound wave used by this Alchemy Powered Ship to detect Cook sea creatures lurking nearby.

Sure enough, during the water jets, some unusual marine creatures with lizard-like heads but webbed feet and fish tails emerged from beneath the sea surface.

These Sea Lizard didn't seem to be very elite; Saine noticed that some of the Sea Lizard' claws were rusty.

Rather than calling them a group of sea pirates, it's more accurate to describe them as a group of sea beggars.
