They have been wandered at sea for two months now, which was quite a lengthy period of time. However, their gains were well worth the months of drifting.
Shobe's strength had greatly increased, and Raine, after consuming the new Sea God fruit, had unlocked the door to stage-4 upgrade, and his new abilities were nothing short of extraordinary.
After witnessing Raine transform into a flame person, everyone was amazed by the power of the Fire Heaven Crystal.
"Captain, if you had this ability before, Frank would not have been your match."
"The key is that it's so cool! Captain, I'm a little envious of you!"
"I also want to strengthen our abilities. Captain, please arrange it as soon as possible. I can't wait any longer!"
Raine returned to human form and thought for a moment.
Through two experiments, the terrifying power of the Fire Heaven Crystal had been fully demonstrated. This was an ability that can continue to generate benefits, and the strength of the crew would be greatly improved in the future.
"Don't be in a hurry, everyone."
"If the Fire Heaven Crystal has such an ability, then do other Heaven Crystals have similar abilities?" Raine's divergent thinking was activated, "From the situation of Shobe and me, after being strengthened by the Fire Heaven Crystal, the mutant abilities all developed in the direction of fire elements. So, will the Earth Heaven Crystal enhance earth element abilities?"
Raine's words also opened up everyone's thinking and made them more eager for the mysterious stone that was likely to be the Earth Heaven Crystal!
"I've thought about it. Some people's mutations are suitable for strengthening in the direction of flames, but not all. For example, people who mutate underwater have no use for this ability in the water. The Fire Heaven Crystal can only improve your levels. And this can be achieved sooner or later as long as you spend more time training. So, don't choose it just for the sake of increasing one level hastily."
"Assume that with the increase in rank and physical fitness, it may be possible to attempt second or even third enhancements in the future, but it is possible that it may have to be on a specific element. I will investigate these assumptions later."
"Until further investigation, you should temporarily rely on my assumptions. Therefore, those who wish to enhance their abilities should first determine if they are suitable for the fire element and if they choose to strengthen with the fire element."
"So, Trueking, are you willing to go?"
Trueking's mutation type was Dinofelis, and he performed well with any elemental ability, but the fire element had a stronger attack power and was a good choice when paired with Trueking's sharp attacks.
"Captain, of course, I am willing. There is no difference in any element for me, as each has its own advantages."
Raine nodded and sent Trueking into the secret room. At this time, Shobe also walked over and reminded Trueking, "Trueking, keep a stable mindset and keep your body relaxed. The longer you persist, the higher your rank will be and the more obvious your ability enhancement will become."
Trueking nodded, "Thank you, I will try my best!"
Trueking had already begun the enhancement process, but Raine cannot wait any longer. Each enhancement would take twenty to thirty days, and with so many people on the ship. It didn't know how long it would take. He increased the speed of the ship and headed toward Misty Island.
...
Three days later, Raine arrived at Misty Island. The island was surrounded by steam and misty all year round due to the many hot springs within the island.
Raine and his group first replenished their fuel, then went to the slave market, trading market, and auction house to look around.
There were a few ordinary people who were also slaves in the king-class sea area, and many daily works here required ordinary people to complete. However, there was a huge gap between mutant slaves here and those in the beast-class sea area.
Mutant slaves here were at a minimum of stage 3!
Raine searched around and only found five people from Sea King Island clans, who had been sold secondhand or even multiple times. Raine immediately bought them.
There were many items in the trading market and auction houses, but what interested Raine the most was that they were selling sea monsters and beast hatchlings!
The fleets in the king-class sea area were already capable of capturing these creatures. However, judging from their appearance, their levels were not very high, and their species were quite common, such as water snakes, octopuses, and other ordinary creatures.
The rarest item in the auction house was a giant swordfish sea monster egg, which was estimated to be E-class. It was not bad, but the price was sky-high, reaching one million gold pearls!
Seeing this price, Raine had to give up his plan of raising fish.
There were many skill books on the market, but only one advanced skill book on aquatic creature mutation, "Underwater Assault," was available in the auction house, and it cost 10,000 gold pearls. Raine didn't hesitate to buy it.
Rarely did he come across an advanced skill book, although it was a bit inferior, it was an advanced skill book after all, which he was currently lacking!
The advanced treasure map was still difficult to find, and Raine had not found the Navy on this island yet.
"It's strange. The Navy is fighting with others, how can we improve the strength of our bounty group?" Raine said puzzledly.
Armin immediately answered, "Captain, if you want to improve your fleet's level in the king-class sea area, you shouldn't look for ordinary Navy personnel. You need to find the Navy headquarters, and there's only one neutral island in the king-class sea area where the Navy headquarters is located, and that's Pandora Island. Pandora Island is about 6,000 nautical miles away from here."
"Damn, forget it. Let's finish our business here first."
The group wandered around the island, and the most important goal was to investigate the situation of the owner of the island, the Underground King fleet.
After investigating, Raine learned that the King of the Underground Fleet had set sail a few days ago, saying they had received orders from the King of Terror to increase their vigilance, so they had been patrolling the nearby waters.
Occasionally, ships would return, but they were only fuel transport ships.
"These guys must have received the news that the Swamp King lost half of their ships in the port, so they are so alert," Tik speculated.
The Terror King did not yet know that Raine was coming for them, but with one of their fleets destroyed, they would definitely be on guard and make new tactical arrangements for the situation in Java Island.
One of their arrangements was not to approach the shore easily.
"Possible," Raine sipped his coffee, "but since they want to fight us at sea, let's make their wish come true!"
"Everyone wait here for a while, wait for their transport ships to return, and then track them to find their fleet!"
................
In the eight days on Misty Island, Raine and his crew were no different from any other fleet, paying docking fees every day and even paying a toll of 1,000 gold pearls to pass through. They occasionally went ashore to purchase some daily necessities, looking like an ordinary stopping ship.
After eight days, five transport ships with the flag of the King of the Underground appeared in the port.
Someone had already prepared barrels of diesel in advance. After they docked, they quickly loaded the diesel and left without much delay.
Raine quickly gathered his crew and sent someone to check the onboard radar, locking onto the five ships.
"Captain, they are about to leave the radar monitoring range!" Old Bai said.
Upon hearing this, Raine snorted, "Let's set sail!"
