Chapter 296: Find and Burst for Loot
After using the skill of the Blank Winding Belt to turn a group of top officials from Huang Country into fools who answer whatever they are asked, Wang Zhifan quickly obtained a lot of intelligence about the Great King of Huang Country from them. He even acquired some items that the person had once used. Using this information and these items as a medium, he achieved more success than anticipated in uncovering the hidden player through the abilities of the Filthy Holy Grail.
"That guy actually hid at the bottom of the sea?! No wonder I couldn't find him at all..."
At this moment, holding the Filthy Holy Grail, an image appeared in Wang Zhifan's mind. This image was generated by the Filthy Holy Grail, which screened targets using the information he provided. After several layers of filtering, the Filthy Holy Grail guided his Spirit connection to the southern sea region of Huang Country, and then through the sea surface to the seabed, pointing to a player hiding inside a whale-shaped submarine!
"In a way, you hiding in the sea actually made it easier for me, now you truly have no escape."
Unlike others who find it difficult to deal with enemies hiding in the ocean, Wang Zhifan is quite adept at ocean battles. Whether it's the mastery of his Source of Ice power or the yet unused Eye of the Sea God, they are all his specialties in this area.
"Since the position is already locked in, I won't initiate the Corruption Curse, in case it causes him to lose his player status and I can't get his equipment."
Once the Filthy Holy Grail locks a target, it can unleash the Corruption Curse to transform the target into a controllable monster. But Wang Zhifan, tempted by the equipment in this player's space, temporarily decided not to use the skills of the Filthy Holy Grail, opting to confront him personally.
Although the detected target location is somewhat distant, his Red Deer Horse's flying speed is faster than many airplanes, which allowed him to reach the enemy's location within just half a day, in a certain sea region south of the main continent of the Chaotic Realm.
Upon arrival, the player was still using a whale-like submarine to hide in the ocean. However, Wang Zhifan didn't immediately attack from above. Instead, he jumped off his Red Deer Horse, stood on the frozen sea surface he had created, and calmly took out a necklace from his personal space—an Epic Layer necklace.
"The introduction of this Eye of the Sea God necklace claims its power is comparable to the Sea God, now is the time to verify that."
Once the Epic Layer necklace was around his neck, Wang Zhifan began to test it, marking his first use of this Epic Layer equipment.
In almost an instant, he connected with the sea beneath him through the miraculous necklace, a sensation difficult to accurately describe in words, as most humans could never have such an experience.
Simply put, it felt as if the ocean beneath his feet became an extension of his body. He could control its tides and calm or violent movements as if part of himself, and this sea region became his domain. He could effortlessly access any information within it, including the conditions of various sea regions, ships on the water, marine life in the ocean, seabed minerals, sunken ships, and relics; all were at his fingertips.
This unprecedented sensation almost made him believe that he was the Sea God.
"Too powerful... this feeling is truly too powerful… If this scenario were about ocean domination, I could conquer all enemies within a minute... regardless of how many countries."
Wang Zhifan couldn't help but indulge a little, his body and Spirit experiencing a sublimation-like pleasure from the transcendent extension brought by the Eye of the Sea God necklace. He found himself wanting to continue indefinitely, immersed in the wonderful control over the vast ocean.
But after all, he was a person of reasonably strong will, and within seconds, he forcibly shifted his attention, starting to deal with the target he came here to address.
"I can't believe I'm using the Eye of the Sea God against such a weak enemy, it's a bit incredible."
With his transcendent ocean perception, he understood the enemy beneath the sea's surface with absolute clarity, without needing any other detection methods.
He knew that the enemy was currently at a depth of two hundred and fourteen meters below the sea surface, riding a whale-shaped submarine, a mysterious artifact not of this world, slowly moving toward the coast. Beneath the sea at that coastal position, there was an underwater passage connecting to somewhere on land.
"Come on up, it's time to drop some gear."
Casually taking a ring from his personal space, Wang Zhifan put it on his finger as he began to exert himself.
This ring was his special tool for acquiring player equipment: the Ring of the Victor. In the past few months, he had given up on some unnecessary equipment because of a lack of combat engagement, but now it was finally time for it to make a comeback.
As he exerted himself, the player from Huang Country, over two hundred meters below the sea surface, found themselves experiencing significant anomalies.
Originally, they were busy telepathically coordinating with their drones on the distant continent, arranging the swarm production plan, and using several special tools to control their avatar to give orders on the continent. Suddenly, the abnormal activity of the vessel interrupted their thoughts, sparking intense curiosity.
"What's going on? Why is my precious Whale Ship starting to surface? I didn't issue that command!"
