Chapter 93 *****
The beach in the eastern part of Dilas Harbour is the only place in the entire port area without a dock coverage. The reason is that the reefs in the sea are dense, and the daily tides rise and fall, so even larger ships cannot be parked here. It is obviously not worth the effort to build a dock specifically for small ships, so they are simply idle to this day.
Zhu Jue, who stayed at the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce Station for half a night, came here under the guidance of the Black Swan, who told him that the scorching box was stored here.
"Is there a place to hide things nearby?"
Stepping on the soft and soft gravel on the beach, Zhu Jue was wearing two gems in his hand, looking around the flat sand shore,
"You guys wouldn't bury things in the sand like pirates. I know there is no safe in this world...there are no locked boxes?"
"You misunderstood that storing the scorching box here is not because there are no storage conditions in the harbor, but that it must be in the ocean to be kept, otherwise an accident will occur."
The black swan had obviously been here several times, and he was familiar with Zhu Jue to the small boat parked on the nearby shore with a rope.
"Why do you still have to take a boat... at the bottom of the sea? Are you not afraid of being washed away by the sea?"
He stepped on the edge and stepped onto the bow of the boat, Zhu Jue asked without looking back.
"It's not the seabed, but stored in a specially renovated reef and does not need to go into the sea."
Grasping the oar, the black swan glanced at the back of the man in front of him. The paddling work obviously could not count on him.
Compared with the real world that has been ravaged by human industrial activities for centuries, the environment of the fantasy dream is naturally a sky and an underground. Zhu Jue's left foot lightly taps the rope at the bow of the boat, with his hands on his back, and raised his head. He is undoubtedly looking at the brilliant galaxy in the sky, with various nebula spreading around the sky curtain. After staring for a while, he suddenly raised his hand to look at the surprisingly large moon on the distant sea level, and said with a sound: "No, to be honest, is the moon in our world so big? Or is it just because I didn't care much before that I have such a strange illusion now?"
"The environment of the fantasy dream is indeed different from the real world. I once had a strange rumor from the sailors on the side of the Dilas Harbour, about the moon."
It was probably affected by the magnificent scene in front of me, and the black swan rowing on the boat was much more relaxed in his words, and he was free to talk.
"Um?"
"It is rumored that there is a huge basalt pillar in the extreme west of this sea. If you cross them, you can see the ultimate waterfall on the edge of this world. As long as you cross it, you can sail into the starry sky and naturally land on the moon."
"Hahaha~ This statement is a bit interesting. Will anyone really believe it?"
Zhu Jue said as he waved his palm, gathering a wave of wind, wrinkling the sea in front of him, causing the starry sky to roam.
"The scientific development of this world is extremely backward and theology is dominant, so many people believe in this statement, and there are even many expedition teams going out to sea to find the location of the ultimate waterfall."
The boat sailed for a distance, and the black swan recalled its position. While speaking, it stretched out its oars and scooped nearby. Not long after, a dull clicking sound could be heard. It immediately poked out some of the oars and forced the advance ship to pause.
"I found it, the scorching box is hidden here."
Before Zhu Jue could say something, the black swan had already walked from the stern to the middle section, rolled up his sleeves, and put his hands into the water. After Zhu Jue came over, he could only see blue electron light flashing under the sea, and then a bubble rose from the sea. When the latter pulled his hand back, there was already an object in his hand that was exactly the same as the storage box that Zhu Jue used when he entered the dream last time.
This kind of treasure gentleman naturally cannot really use the boxes from this world, and has transported a storage box through the space crack.
Press the password repeatedly, and the storage box immediately opened in the Black Swan's hand, with only one thing stored inside.
A reddish-brown wooden box the size of a palm covered with many embossed patterns... No, after taking it out, Zhu Jue found that it could not be said to be a box at all, but it looked like a wooden statue with cracks in the middle, but it was a bit shaped like a box.
"What is in this thing...can't be opened?"
He pinched the upper and lower sides of the wooden box with both hands. Zhu Jue asked and tried to open it, but even though he kept increasing the force, the wooden box remained motionless, as if it was really just a square wooden statue.
"Yes, after getting it, the gentleman tried everything except violent destruction, so until now we don't know what is stored inside."
"Ah? You don't even know what is inside, just store it like a treasure. Have you ever seen a treasure before?"
Zhu Jue, who was originally ready to take over a treasure with joy, widened his eyes and asked in surprise.
"You misunderstood that this scorching box was a treasure found by a gentleman through a treasure map near the Sinking City. Although he didn't know what was hidden inside, it was stored in a seabed ruin. Moreover, after learning the news, the dream eater mentioned it several times in succession. If it was an ordinary item, it would not attract their attention." In order to find this scorching box, the gentleman personally took the expedition team to sea and searched in the waters near the Sinking City for nearly half a month. He was fighting for the hidden dangers of mental problems before discovering the special ruin. The gentleman who had just obtained this scorching box was probably the same as Zhu Jue now, but found that it was an unopenable box.
I spent a lot of resources, so I would definitely be reluctant to throw them away. In the end, I could only save them and find a way.
"Sunken City?"
Zhu Jue noticed a noun in the Black Swan's words and asked out loud.
"That was an ancient ruin in the southern ocean of Dilas Harbour. Because ships often have accidents nearby, the sailors here also called it the "City of Silence", which means that as long as you pass through that area, you must keep as quiet as possible to avoid disturbing some of the existences sleeping in the ancient ruins... Of course, this is just a legend like the ultimate waterfall, but this ancient ruin has become an existence similar to a landmark building."
"So that's the case, but this box cannot be opened, so what's the difference between it and waste? You said that the gentleman has got it for a while, and so far there is still no clue...why is it going on, why does it get hot?"
Zhu Jue was about to ask if there was a way to open the box, but the box in his hand suddenly started to get hot, not because of the temperature of his palm, but because of the heating without warning!
"This is why it must be placed in the sea water, and it is also the origin of its name. As long as the scorching box is separated from the ocean, it will start to get hot in a few minutes, the temperature continues to rise, and it is a diffusing high temperature. The gentleman once conducted a test. After maintaining this state for 5 minutes, it can increase the temperature of the guest room in the inn we just stayed at 10 degrees Celsius in just a few minutes and ignite it quickly, so I suggest you put it back, otherwise your hand may be injured after a while."
"No, I want to see how hot it can be."
Zhu Jue raised his hand and pushed the storage box handed over by the black swan back, and continued to hold the scorching box.
"Sir President, you are taking risks, you..."
The Black Swan has seen the power of the Burning Box, so she naturally knows how dangerous Zhu Jue's behavior is. However, just as she opened her mouth, the scene in front of her blocked all her words in her throat.
The scorching box that should have been red and hot has turned into a completely solid ice brick in Zhu Jue's hands!
At this moment, Zhu Jue stood at the bow of the boat, with hexagonal ice crystals lingering around his body. The bow of the boat under his feet had even begun to form a thin layer of ice, and the air flow during his breathing became white air wandering in front of him.
"Wait for me here!"
He turned around and walked away from the wooden boat. The sea surface suddenly turned into ice. Zhu Jue frowned and ignored the magic of the shock on the black swan's face.
Zhu Jue did feel that this so-called "scalding box" was constantly spreading huge heat energy to the outside world, and its intensity was constantly increasing. Correspondingly, he was gradually increasing his mental power output to fight the scorching heat with frost.
As time goes by, this confrontation is no longer limited to a small area where Zhu Jue is located. From the perspective of the black swan, the sea surface within a range of more than ten meters in front of the wooden boat is now covered by white fog.
The alternating heat and heat waves came towards her with the sea breeze. This was a scene she had never seen before by the gentleman...
After five minutes of stalemate, Zhu Jue passed through the fog and muttered to return to the wooden boat. The scavenger was soaked in the sea water beside him by the scavenger, his eyes fell on the black swan, and explained: "This box is indeed extraordinary. It can actually heat up to this level. The opposite method is incorrect. There should be other ways to open it. Put it back first, and I want to go back and think about it carefully."
If it were usual, Zhu Jue's personality might have been against the scorching box, but this situation was obviously not allowed tonight. First, after so long, he still did not feel the scorching box being loose at all, and it was just constantly heating up. Second, Zhu Jue didn't want to make too much noise. Although it was late at night, it was hard to guarantee that no one would hang out near the port.
The black swan, who was stunned because of the incident just now, was shocked when he heard Zhu Jue's words and hurriedly followed suit.
If the ferocious beast looming at the door of the gentleman's residence made her feel scared, then the scene just now completely made it difficult for the black swan to have a desire to resist.
The storage box returned to the place where it was stored, and the wooden boat swayed back to the shore.
After a while.
Breakwater behind the beach.
Someone looked at the sea that returned to the calm with his hands on his back.
