Chapter 86: Middle Stage Level Two!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Lingjun’s heart was pounding, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.
Finding the Sun Fruit wasn’t the most important thing right now. The most important thing was to safely transport these treasures out!
There was a River-Turning Rat at the entrance of the sunken ship and the Wild Wave Company people on the shore. He would have to fight tooth and nail to get out of this situation!
“I should only take the Sun Fruit. I don’t need the other stuff!”
The other items in the cargo were also worth at least ten to twenty million dollars.
However, it was too difficult to transport those things. It would take too long!!
It was best to only take the Sun Fruit!
Moreover, because the Sun Fruit was already wrapped in a vacuum bag and waterproofed, it should not be a problem if it came into contact with water for a short time!
The electric eel clone quickly moved.
The electric eel clone found a huge fishing net in the boat and then shattered the magic barrier.
The barrier shattered and water gushed into the cargo hold, soaking all the precious goods.
The wooden box that stored the Sun Fruit had a Rank One Fire Spirit pattern engraved on it; it dampened and extinguished when it came into contact with water.
The electric eel couldn’t care less. It quickly laid the huge fishing net flat on the ground, and then used its mouth and claws to push all the boxes of Sun Fruit into the fishing net.
One Sun Fruit was the size of a fist. and each box contained 10 Sun Fruits.
Therefore, each box was only a little bigger than a washbasin.
The electric eel arranged the boxes in a long strip and dragged it up with its mouth. With the help of the buoyancy of the water, it managed to tie the loot around its body.
Its 4-meter-long body was more than enough to hold 20 wooden boxes.
After doing all this, the clone quickly swam out of the hatch.
When they left, Chu Lingjun even asked the electric eel clone to politely close the hatch door, turn the key upside down and lock it, then pull out the key and put it in its mouth.
The electric eel carried 20 wooden boxes and quickly swam out of the shipwreck, leaving a hole at the bottom of the ship.
There were still a large number of Red Crystal Crabs roaring and rushing to Quicksand Town. The whole process of the electric eel clone entering the shipwreck and leaving lasted less than half an hour.
In just half an hour, the electric eel had earned 20 million in wealth!
Of course, the market price of one Sun Fruit was 100,000 dollars. Chu Lingjun had so many Sun Fruits that he wanted to sell them to different merchants. Naturally, it was impossible for him to sell them at such a price.
No matter how low he planned to sell it, there should still be a 30 percent discount. Summing it up would still give him about 14 million dollars!
Chu Lingjun was overjoyed!
“Holy sh*t, I’m rich!”
The electric eel clone quickly crawled out of the hole in the shipwreck. Looking back, the hole in the River-Turning Rat’s hole was still closed.
The Wild Wave Company members who were not far away from the shore were still shivering and hiding on the treetops, not daring to make any movements.
Chu Lingjun commanded the electric eel clone to quickly swim to a hidden river bank that could not be seen by the Wild Wave Company.
Then, he immediately let the electric eel clone dig a hole with its sharp claws!
Fortunately, the electric eel already had limbs to dig quickly on the shore.
As for breathing, Chu Lingjun shared his oxygen with his clone.
A moment later, a deep hole appeared.
The electric eel clone first swallowed 10 Sun Fruit in a box, then placed the finished box and the remaining 19 boxes into the stomach, and then filled them with soil.
While all this happened, the beast tide was still attacking the city, and there were many exotic beasts trampling the surroundings. Therefore, there were traces of soil overlapping the surroundings. There was no need to worry about being discovered.
The electric eel clone had no choice but to eat 10 Sun Fruits at once. There was only that much space left to keep the rest.
There were a few hidden dangers in burying 190 Sun Fruits here.
Firstly, the Sun Fruit was a Rank Two heavenly treasure. It was rich in spiritual power. Even if it was stored in the cabin of the sunken ship, a trace of spiritual power still leaked out.
Of course, the other treasures in the cabin would also leak their spiritual power.
This was also why Chu Lingjun didn’t dare to bury the 190 Sun Fruits too far away.
Because of the sunken ship, the spiritual energy aura in the nearby river region was very dense.
Therefore, by burying the Sun Fruit here and concealing them closeby, the chances of them being discovered in a short period of time were very low.
Secondly, the soil on the shore was very moist. Chu Lingjun would have to come over and dig them up as soon as possible. Otherwise, if time dragged on, the quality of these 190 Sun Fruits would either drop or be wasted!
Chu Lingjun sighed at the thought of this. He had no other choice. Time was tight, and the task was heavy. Moreover, there were people keeping an eye on him.
The electric eel clone could only do this much, which was already helpful enough!
If he asked for more and accidentally exposed himself, not only would it be a waste, but the electric eel clone’s life would also be in danger!
He would rather not have the Sun Fruit than have anything happen to his electric eel.
After transferring the Sun Fruit, the electric eel clone quickly returned to the cave.
He blocked the entrance of the cave with the huge rock again, and it was as if nothing had happened.
As the 10 Sun Fruit were slowly digested, the electric eel clone immediately felt as if it had swallowed an extremely majestic spiritual power!
It was as if a volcano had erupted in the stomach, and a huge warm current rushed to the limbs of the electric eel clone!
The electric eel couldn’t help but let out a low cry. The black scales on its body turned slightly red, and the water around it gradually boiled!
Although his body felt uncomfortable, Chu Lingjun could deeply feel that the attributes of the electric eel clone were rapidly increasing!
Time slowly passed, and when the sky gradually turned dark, the majestic spiritual power in the electric eel’s body was fully digested.
The aura of the electric eel clone was also much stronger and more majestic now!
His strength had advanced from an Early Stage Level Two to a Middle Stage Level Two beast!
The length of the electric eel clone slowly grew from four meters to four and a half meters!
Its teeth became sharper, its claws stronger, and its scales harder!
As the electric eel clone advanced to Middle Stage Level One, the majestic vitality and spirit were also fed back to Chu Lingjun!
Chu Lingjun instantly broke through to become a Middle Stage Rank Two esper!
He had taken a big step toward Middle Stage Rank Two!
Chu Lingjun was ecstatic. As expected of the Sun Fruit!
Although the effect of eating too many of the same natural treasures would be worse, the electric eel clone’s absorption and digestion ability was very strong.
Chu Lingjun had carefully sensed it just now. It was probably at the fifth and sixth Sun Fruit that the remaining Sun Fruits gradually lost their medicinal properties.
Although the Sun Fruit did not have any medicinal properties, it still provided a large amount of spiritual power to the electric eel clone, which can also count as a small supplement.
Just after the electric eel successfully advanced, it felt the sound of fierce battle coming from outside the hole. The direction of the sound was coming from the direction of the shipwreck.
Chu Lingjun quickly asked the electric eel clone to move the stone at the entrance of the cave away a little, and he acticated his Electric Field!
After breaking through to the Middle Stage Level Two, the range of the Electric Field domain expanded again — from 300 meters to 400 meters! Chu Lingjun was delighted to find out when the Electric Field domain was activated!
Turns out, the Wild Wave Company was fighting the River-Turning Rat around
the shipwreck!
