Ambergris and the Escape Pod

"Hint: You have recruited a group of Grease Monster as reinforcements for the ' UFO Ship '."

"Super-Sense Link established successfully..."

Listening to those chilling calls of "brother".

Roger fought back the urge to vomit.

In the Super-Sense Link, the question is asked directly, "Who are you?"

What is your purpose?

"Also, don't call me brother!"

Eudora replied in a sweet, coquettish voice, "I am the Water Essence Princess, brother!"

Didn't you notice?

We are a race of Water Spirit who have lived for generations inside the belly of the Whale Azuth.

We were living a peaceful and undisturbed life.

But then the evil Black Blood Legion appeared.

They invaded our homeland and drove us into the Pool of Destruction. Brother, don't look at me now that I'm all black. I'll wash and scrub and I'll be white again!

Because of Monroe.

We could only swallow our anger and hide in this filthy pool.

Who knew you were so amazing, brother!

"Call me 'brother' again, and I'll kill you."

"If you squint again, I'll kill you twice."

Roger said earnestly.

Eudora shuddered.

He started speaking normally again.

The monster leader's voice was indeed very childish.

When she's not so pretentious.

On the contrary, it has a more touching power.

only.

Roger's eyes were filled with indifference.

On the data panel.

"Perception: You realize that ' Eudora ' is insulting your intelligence."

"Observation (with the naked eye): Common sense tells you that even the darkest Water Spirit wouldn't have such a strange biological gel coat on its body, especially since its appearance is completely unrelated to Water Spirit."

"Sixth Sense: You suspect that ' Eudora ' seems to be hiding something..."

On the platform.

Roger scoffed inwardly.

Faced with Eudora's enthusiastic invitation to cooperate.

He outwardly agreed.

Anyway, the Grease Monster type has no potential to become brothers and friends.

Why not let them help out as laborers for farming Black Blood Soldier?

Roger's purpose was quite clear.

With the positions of the other two leaders still uncertain.

He'd better keep a low profile.

And the collaboration with the Grease Monster is just such an opportunity.

Roger quickly concealed himself.

He said to Eudora:

"Cooperation is no problem, I've also suffered greatly at the hands of the Black Blood Soldier."

"However, I was injured in the battle with Monroe, so I can only fight on the move now..."

After saying that.

He didn't wait for Eudora's reply.

Just hang up and block me – one step at a time!

Eudora was trying to deceive Roger.

Most likely, they were wary of him.

Roger had precisely identified this about her.

I immediately switched to "paddling mode"! And so...

The main battlefield has reverted to a brutal struggle between the Black Blood Soldier and the Grease Monster.

Every few minutes.

That's why Roger suddenly made his move.

After killing one or two members of the Black Blood Legion, they disappeared without a trace.

And in this process.

His three major fragments, however, rose in value rapidly.

As expected, Eudora did not sever this temporary alliance despite Roger blocking her.

This made the Grease Monster Roger's most desirable employees.

When I have free time.

Roger also secretly compared the efficiency of the Elite Squad farming Astral Goblin with that of the Grease Monster farming Black Blood Soldier.

The results showed that the latter was stronger.

The Grease Monster monster isn't very powerful.

However, the Black Water they spray has an "annihilation" effect.

This move caused the demoralized Black Blood Soldier to retreat in disarray!

Under the fierce onslaught of the Grease Monster army.

The Black Blood Soldier was forced to retreat to temporary defensive positions near the gate.

The two sides then entered a stalemate.

Roger swam around, trying to find the location of "Eudora" in the Black Water.

But this loli-voiced ' Water Essence Princess ' clearly has its own unique features.

With the Injured Wolf ' formidable reconnaissance capabilities.

They couldn't even find her hiding place.

This made Roger quite wary.

Danger lurks everywhere on the Astral White Whale.

Don't be fooled by how easily he killed Monroe.

That's because Roger was extremely familiar with the ' Mage Three Guardians '.

It might not be so easy against a different opponent of the same level.

"At the very least..."

"It should make me break a sweat."

Thinking this way.

Roger suddenly saw a highlighted marker provided by a Injured Wolf in his field of vision!

That's a coordinate located at the bottom of the pool.

"Have you found Eudora?"

Roger quickly switched screens.

In complete darkness.

A tiny Bubbles was seen bobbing up and down at the bottom of the pool.

The bottom of the pool was filled with viscous Black Water.

These Bubbles, however, are pure and flawless.

Inside the Bubbles.

A bright yellow, semi-liquid, semi-solid substance was slowly swaying.

Just one glance.

Roger couldn't take his eyes off it!...

Hint: You have discovered 'ambergris that is about to form'.

"Ambergris (Ascension-grade Pillar Item)"

"Use 1: Melting into Demiplane can give the Demiplane the effect of ' Sprite Paradise ';

Sprite Paradise: Your Demiplane has a high chance of attracting high-level monsters to settle there.

"Use 2: Smelting and advancing slots, in addition to basic effects such as slot sedimentation, your health +1000"

Pillar-level item! 1000 health points! These two sets of keywords deeply attracted Roger's attention.

He felt as if his breath was about to stop!

You need to know.

Roger's total health is only a little over 800 points!

"This thing is extremely useful to me!"

His emotions gradually became excited.

At this point...

He certainly realized what Eudora was doing—

The ambergris at the bottom of the pool is about to form.

At this critical juncture.

Suddenly, a formidable figure appeared who could easily kill Monroe.

It would be a lie to say that this Grease Monster lord wasn't panicking.

therefore.

She did not hesitate to sacrifice a large number of her people to attack the Black Blood Soldier.

This is to create chaos.

The goal was to distract Roger!

otherwise.

Why didn't this "Water Essence Princess" intervene when Monroe sent people to scout ahead? Why did she only jump out after Roger killed Monroe?

On the other hand,

This "ambergris" must have been very important to her.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked being accidentally killed by Roger by jumping out and striking a pose...

but.

From beginning to end.

Eudora did not show up.

This shows that she still left herself a way out.

All I can say is that she was too hasty.

That's why she committed such an outrageous lie as the "Water Essence Princess".

This thought came to mind.

Roger couldn't help but reflect on himself. "This Grease Monster lord is clearly not someone to be trifled with."

This allowed her to obtain the precious substance, ambergris.

It seems things won't be peaceful atop the Beluga Whale! Ultimately...

A monster is a monster.

We shouldn't discriminate against them just because they don't have good attributes...

Everyone should be treated equally!

In any case, Roger's Sin Mark had already been switched back to the "Astral Goblin" earlier.

These Grease Monster cannot provide attributes.

At the very least, they have the ability to contribute XP! Therefore, Roger made his decision.

During the period when Double XP Ticket are in effect.

All monsters must be treated equally! So he gave those Grease Monster that were spitting out Black Water a deep look.

He turned and left the battlefield.

Not long after.

He then reached the edge of the platform.

After a crisp, clean splash.

Roger's figure disappeared above the platform.

When he returned.

That was when the "Equal Treatment Plan" was officially launched.

And now.

He thought "ambergris" smelled better!...

"Warning: You have triggered ' Spell Trap: Obliterate'"

"Magic Resistance is 100% active..."

"'Annihilation' has failed..."

Accompanied by rows of pale red warning signs in my field of vision.

Roger quietly swam to the bottom of the Black Water.

To be honest.

Swimming in oil is actually quite strenuous.

If it weren't for Roger's muscle memory of Earth Escape is a type of martial arts technique), he wouldn'

Right now, they're probably still clumsily searching for the right way to exert force.

Even so.

It still took him about 10 minutes to reach the bottom of the pool.

We passed through a thick layer of Black Water.

The space below suddenly became a sight to behold.

Roger noticed.

The water at the bottom of the pool was also black.

But it's not that viscous.

It was a clear and transparent black.

And in the darkness.

A few tiny, star-like lights appeared.

Those were tiny bubbles bobbing up and down.

Ambergris marked "The Injured Wolf" is just one example.

Roger quietly moved closer.

He observed the ambergris-covered bubble for a while.

In the end, they left with great reluctance.

His Sixth Sense told him.

It takes at least 80 hours for ambergris to fully form.

Its actual accumulation of experience has spanned over 60 years!

"This is a true Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure!"

"I wonder what's going on with the beluga whale? Is it completely dead, or just in a dormant state? If it's still alive, it must be suffering a lot with so many roundworms in its stomach..."

Wandering amidst the strange scenery at the bottom of the pool.

Roger's thoughts wandered.

In just half a minute.

He had already checked all the nearby bubbles.

Those small bubbles are also nurturing "ambergris".

However, it takes far less time than the largest one.

If you take it now.

Not to mention whether it would alert Eudora.

Even if you get your hands on it, it will only be a high-grade medicinal herb.

It's far less appealing than "Pillar Item".

So he suppressed the urge to take the treasure directly.

I patiently lingered at the bottom of the pool for a while.

Not long after.

Roger discovered a strange fleshy wall at the bottom of the pool.

He placed his hands on the folds of flesh.

The latter actually responded with a contraction and expansion! "Could this be the still-active part of the beluga whale?"

Roger happily inserted a finger into it.

Feel the rough texture of the folds.

He intensified his efforts to reach out.

Then he pressed his entire hand against the flesh wall without leaving any blind spots! In that instant.

Roger felt a clear sense of joy, almost overflowing from the flesh! So he smiled slightly.

Initiating high-intensity use of the "Intelligence Reduction Hand"!...

"Squeak, squeak!"

A loud scraping sound came from the bottom of the pool.

Roger observed the changes in the flesh wall while carefully watching the data panel.

However, at this very moment...

A strange gaze suddenly fell upon him from behind.

And when Roger realized this and turned around...

Those eyes had already quietly disappeared into the Black Water at the bottom of the pool! Because I saw those eyes.

Roger accidentally increased the friction with his right hand!

Wow!

He actually ripped that piece of flesh off!

"Extraordinary Perception: You have detected that an Extraordinary Mage has used ' Eye of Secrets ' on you."

"Sixth Sense: You sense the malice towards you from the Dominator Vilan, the Endless Touch Icadore, the Mountain of Buried Bones, the Tender White Bud, the Midnight Murmur, the Manic Dream...!"

"Did Vilan find out that Monroe was killed?"

"Wait, why are these Ancient Evil ' hostility towards me being refreshed along with Vilan's..."

"Did they team up and form a villain alliance?"

Roger's heart sank.

He analyzed it carefully.

This may not be low.

After ostentatiously eliminating "Blood of Myriad Filth".

Roger and his Clear Spring Sect have likely become a thorn in the side of all the Ancient Evil on this planet.

After Icadore escaped.

It is highly likely that they will actively contact other Ancient Evil.

Including the Salvation Society, the current overlord of the Southern Continent! And so it went.

It's quite normal for her to be involved with Vilan.

And just at this critical juncture, he killed Monroe.

It's perfectly normal for this to attract unwanted attention.

However, this spying not only exposed Vilan's actions.

This also led Roger to discover that the Ancient Evil might be joining forces against him!...

"Without realizing it..."

"Have I become that aggressive?"

After the initial panic subsided.

Roger gradually adjusted his mindset.

Ancient Evil are nothing to fear.

Only Vilan could earn his respect.

But ever since he accepted the Ascension Mission and began to have frequent contact with the Black Blood Soldier...

He was no longer afraid of his former inner demon! The journey through time made Roger realize that Vilan was not invincible.

Killing Monroe with his own hands made him realize that some things really are that simple! As long as you react quickly enough.

It's something anyone can do.

However, Roger did not let his guard down.

If the Ancient Evil really want to deal with me.

Therefore, the best time is before the upgrade.

Once Roger completes his Heaven Path Ascension.

The enemies of the entire Mi Star sat in a row.

They probably wouldn't even be enough for him to fight alone!

So next...

He needs to be careful!

Calm your mind.

Roger refocused his attention on the present moment.

After Roger forcefully tore off the fleshy walls, which were full of wrinkles and fleshy bits,...

Below it appeared a large metal gate! The material of that gate was exactly the same as the Roger had seen on the "Steel Platform".

They are all made of Alien Steel.

Roger sensed it briefly.

Then he stopped being coy.

Kick the door down!

"Hint: You have used the ' Open Portal ' perk, and you have gained an entrance."

"You've discovered the ' Escape Pod '."

"You've discovered the ' Sky Dome Cannon '"

"You've discovered a ' Moon Simulator '."

"You have obtained the ' Mechanical Ascension Chip '"

Almost simultaneously.

Western part of the Southern Continent.

In a strange city built above thunderclouds.

A series of shadowy figures are moving through the alleys of the city.

An angry voice echoed from the thunderclouds:

"The signs of destruction have already appeared. The Thunderforged City is no longer secure. The World-Ending Forbidden Spell cannot kill us, but now, someone can do it!"

"For decades, his butcher's knife has been raised high and brought down hard across the Northern Continent, and no one has been able to resist his brutal slaughter!"

"And now."

"He turned his sword south."

"Can you still pretend you can't see this? Look at those names!"

"From the Two-Headed Dragon, the Destruction Devil, Leviathan, to the Ancient Godspawn, the Blood of Myriad Filth, and just now Monroe!"

"Haven't you figured it out yet?"

"He must be the Slaughter Tyrant who will personally end this chapter of history!"

"If his true nature is killing, then he will become increasingly terrifying!"

"If we don't join forces now, it will really be too late!"

The voice was incredibly captivating.

It was as if even the thunderclouds overhead were moved.

It made a crackling sound.

However, after he said that...

There was no response for a long time.

After a while.

Only then did a cold voice come:

"Icadore ..."

"You're only saying this because your wife was stolen from you, aren't you?"
