Chapter 105
Kraken... Poseidon's Altar...
Seeing the translated deep sea language, Ye Bai was stunned for a moment, her brows furrowed, her heart beating uncontrollably faster. In this divine world where "everything has changed and people have changed", she actually heard a fairly familiar name.
Kraken, the mythical North Sea monster in Ye Bai's memory, occasionally appeared in marine-themed film and television works of her time. It is a huge sea monster similar to an octopus.
Although the name contains the word "C", it has little to do with the Cthulhu mythology series. It is most famous for its unimaginable size and its every move has terrible destructive power.
What caught Ye Bai off guard was that the Sea God in the Ten Thousand Worlds...why would he be called this name?
The kings of the six major ethnic groups all follow the principle that the strongest one takes the position. This kind of strongest person in the ethnic group is equivalent to a title achievement for the player. When the conditions are met, the title will be automatically obtained, and all the attributes that come with the title will be added.
During the evolution of the deep sea, the most powerful (highest level) deep sea creature will naturally become a sea god, have the power to control the ocean, and enjoy the sacrifices of the deep sea creatures.
The background of this divine world is consistent with the setting of the divine world in Ye Bai's memory. The strongest person was born in the deep sea tribe and was awarded the title of Sea God. However, in the absence of a special setting, the name of this Sea God should theoretically be "randomly" generated.
Ye Bai was terrified that the sea god in the divine world would be named Kraken, the name of a sea monster in the legend of Blue Star. If it was just a random name, it would be too much of a coincidence!
Moreover, if we follow the concept of the subconscious ocean of the "Floating Clan" of the Star Network, it does not make sense at all, because the prerequisite for entering the Star Network and becoming a member of the Floating Clan is to first connect to the universe era and register a Star Network account.
However, the Blue Star sailed far away in search of a new home due to a meteorite impact ten thousand years ago. The entire process of wandering in the universe took nearly a hundred generations. At that stage, humans simply did not have the resources to afford a Star Network account, so naturally there was no question of uploading their consciousness after death through the Star Network to become the Floating Ghost Clan.
There are traces of a large number of civilizations in the vast sea of star network data streams, but they have little to do with the new humans who have only gained a foothold on new planets in the last thousand years.
"What's wrong?" The paper man next to him asked when he saw Ye Bai suddenly remained silent for a long time.
"Nothing." Ye Bai came back to her senses and rubbed her head with a headache. The relationship between this Ten Thousand Worlds and the Ten Thousand Worlds in her memory was ambiguous. When she thought that the two were just similar in setting, she was suddenly shocked.
Now is not the time to think about these things, Ye Bai put the problem aside for the time being and opened his attribute panel.
This time, the area of Poseidon's Altar does not have as many observable relics as the Dragon Tomb, but because of the special double stamina consumption effect here, after exploring the entire Poseidon Altar, Ye Bai's current experience pool is enough for her to upgrade to level 45, which is a very good gain.
At the same time, Ye Bai also has a new title effect.
[Deep Sea Friends]: Deep Sea Favorability +10, Physical Limit +50
The special effects of language titles will add a basic attribute, which is often related to racial characteristics. For giant beast races such as the Deep Sea Clan and the Ancient Dragon, the additional attribute is physical strength, which is undoubtedly very practical in the current environment.
After checking his recent gains, Ye Bai once again looked at the remains of the Poseidon Altar in front of him, and then checked the remaining texts on other nearby stone tablets one by one.
However, just as the system prompts, this is the remains of a sea god's altar. Most of the words are in praise of the sea god, praying that the offerings will satisfy the sea god and gain his protection, and no more useful information is obtained.
Until Ye Bai saw a description in front of a stone tablet:
"I pray that this offering will soothe your everlasting..."
Never-ending...
Ye Bai's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but utter a word to complete the incomplete part of the sentence.
"Hungry?" two voices asked in unison.
It turned out that it was the paper man who followed Ye Bai's gaze and "jumped" onto the stone tablet, and expressed the same guess as her.
The two looked at each other across the dimension and realized that the problem was not simple.
Could it be that the influence of the 'unknown breath' that causes physical creatures to become particularly hungry be the same as the sea god Kraken mentioned in the description of the altar?
In addition, as the deep-sea tribe are underwater creatures, their altars should normally be on the seabed and not too far away from the location of the sea god. After all, the sea god is a living creature, and the sacrifices must be guaranteed to be delivered to it. That means that this island may not have been an island originally, and it is more likely that a huge rock in the deep sea has floated to the sea surface.
The Deep Sea Tribe's altar that appeared on this island indicated that they were perhaps very close to that Sea God whose level was definitely over 100...
Thinking of this, Ye Bai had an idea, and then took out the repaired [Golden Compass] from his backpack, and then used the clue of the 'Ruins of the Sea God's Altar' on it.
As the altar of Poseidon, it itself points to the Kraken. The golden compass also has the ability to point to things corresponding to historical clues. Combining the two, there is a high probability that it will point to the direction of the Kraken.
Using the compass also consumed Ye Bai's 20 points of physical strength, twice as much as before. Then a subtle golden light flashed on the compass, and she looked intently at the pointer.
After waiting for a few breaths, the compass needle remained the same as before, without any change...
Ye Bai turned her body, and the needle on the compass also rotated with it, but its relative position remained motionless, as if it was broken, as if she had used it in vain.
Ye Bai, who didn't believe in evil, once again consumed 20 points of physical strength to use the compass.
A subtle golden light flashed on the compass again. Ye Bai stared at the pointer. The pointer seemed to tremble, and just as she raised her eyebrows, it stopped again, exactly the same as before.
The results of these two times made Ye Bai look serious. If it wasn't for the 1% probability of the compass failing twice in a row, could it be because the Kraken was too close, so that the compass was not effective at all?
Ye Bai subconsciously imagined a scene in his mind of a terrifying deep-sea monster staring at the island with its huge eyes wide open... and then he looked at Ottophis.
Ottophis's donkey ears stood up, as if he had keenly understood something from Ye Bai's expression, and the expression on his donkey face was also not good.
In order to ensure a successful sacrifice, the magic words on the altar have very particular descriptions and often need to be precise. In addition to those conventional descriptions, if it can be described as "never-ending hunger", it undoubtedly shows that this Kraken is a huge foodie!
As the only physical creatures nearby, Ottophis and I wonder if we can be enough to fill the gaps in the sea god's stomach?
Thinking of this, Ye Bai's expression tensed. He felt that the situation was not good. It would be better to find a space crack as soon as possible and leave here.
At this moment, Ye Bai felt a sudden vibration in his hand.
Looking down, I saw that the golden compass that I hadn't put back into my backpack suddenly started to spin spontaneously. After spinning for a while, the pointer finally stopped in one direction and stopped moving.
Ye Bai looked up in the direction of the pointer, which turned out to be the top of the mountain in the center of the island, which she had not yet explored.
What is going on?
Ye Bai tried to hold the compass and turn it in other directions as before, but this time the compass seemed to be repaired. No matter how she changed its direction, the needle pointed firmly to the top of the mountain.
The Kraken can't be on the top of the island, right?
This possibility is not impossible, but Ye Bai intuitively feels that it is impossible.
Deep-sea creatures are aquatic creatures. Even though they can leave the ocean, they essentially don't like to go ashore.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Bai threw the devil Asilio out again to explore the way.
Excluding the problem of compass guidance, Ye Bai had already explored the entire edge of the island and the mountainside without any other discoveries. The only remaining unexplored area was the top of the mountain in the center. He would have to go up and explore sooner or later, so it was better to take action directly.
If you're lucky enough to encounter a Kraken... we'll just have to see if it eats bread.
"Would you like to make a deal with me? I can teleport you out through a contract. The price is that you release my real name. Of course, I will provide the contract this time."
While exploring the way ahead, Asirio made a suggestion to Ye Bai without giving up.
Ye Bai ignored it. The method that Alisio mentioned was indeed feasible, but making a deal with the devil would always be her last resort. If she dared to make a deal, Alisio would send them into the lava.
The curve of the mountain was not steep, and they moved forward carefully. The paper man did not sense any information from other creatures, and Alicio in front was also safe and sound.
Soon, the top of the mountain was right in front of Ye Bai.
There were no plants blocking the view on the island. After Ye Bai approached, she glanced forward and then focused her eyes. She saw some unusual objects on the top of the mountain.
After taking a few more steps and seeing the items clearly, Ye Bai paused. After confirming again and again that she was not mistaken, her nervous expression suddenly froze and she was completely dumbfounded.
Those unusual items... turned out to be a set of fishing gear.
Yes, a slender fishing rod with a fishing line wrapped around it was inserted diagonally into a wooden barrel. There was even a small stool next to it that looked like a seat...
A mysterious island infected by an unknown aura and with the sea god's altar at its center. Ye Bo would have believed it if it said the sea god Kraken was sealed, but it turned out to be such a set of daily life tools -
What does this have to do with that?
Not only Ye Bai felt confused, even Ottophis next to him tilted his head and looked at the fishing gear with curiosity, while Arisio floated over and circled three times.
"This set of fishing gear is very unusual..." The voice of the paper man sounded, he had 'seen' the message in advance.
"Is it safe? Is there any curse?" Ye Bai was curious.
"No, it's safe." The paper man replied quickly.
Hearing this, Ye Bai walked forward and reached out to touch the ordinary-looking fishing rod.
The next moment, she was dazzled by the golden message that popped up.
W-What the hell? A legendary fishing rod?! Even she, the producer, had no idea such a thing existed in the world!
At this moment, Ye Bai suddenly remembered that the repaired golden compass had another function, it had a certain treasure-hunting ability.
