73: Chapter 73 SSS-level Detection + Enchantment

He had already seen this kind of blood mist many times.

During the first Daytime Instance, after killing the last old savage, a mass of blood mist had ascended into the sky.

Later, when the two women entered the dungeon, they said they had also seen the blood mist.

Chen Fan had previously guessed that this blood mist must be a type of energy substance.

When system NPCs died, they would turn into blood mist and be recycled to maintain the balance of this world.

But now it seemed his guess might have been slightly off.

After all, players did not belong to this world; how could the blood mist they produced help maintain the balance of the game world?

If it wasn't an energy substance, then what could it be?

Chen Fan pondered for a moment.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

He thought of the scene earlier where Fangs used an Explosion arrow.

"Could it be..."

Chen Fan shuddered, and looking at the black mist and tentacles about to attach to the avatar ship, he said in a deep voice:

"Collect that mass of blood mist!"

As soon as he gave the order, the remaining dozen or so Sailors, along with the A-Rank Ship Captain, immediately jumped toward the Fangs Vessel.

At this moment, the Fangs Vessel had begun to dematerialize because it had lost its player.

The Crew Members on the ship had also disappeared.

The blood mist was gradually rising, and the Crew Members gestured for a long time, not knowing how to collect it.

Suddenly, in an inconspicuous corner, a wide-mouthed transparent bottle caught the Captain's eye.

He subconsciously lunged over, picked up the bottle, and inverted it over the blood mist.

As the blood mist rose, it was all captured inside the bottle.

"Well done! Exit the dungeon!"

Just as the black mist on the tentacles was about to touch the avatar ship.

The avatar ship, along with all the Crew Members, disappeared simultaneously.

The next moment, the sea area around Chen Fan began to twist.

The avatar ship emerged unscathed.

Chen Fan scanned the area and saw Drake standing on the deck with a silly grin, letting out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, only one S-Class was lost.

Although it was a pity, after all, there were no more S-Class Crew Members in the shop now.

But to be able to eliminate the threat of Fangs and ensure a stable source of plasma energy core, Gaia could be considered to have died for a worthy cause.

What's more, there was an additional harvest.

"Is this bottle really picked up from the Fangs Vessel?"

"Yes, my master."

The A-Rank Ship Captain replied stiffly.

Chen Fan nodded slightly; it seemed highly likely that this bottle was used to collect one's own blood mist.

It was even very possible that last night, Fangs had also used this bottle to collect the Emperor's blood mist.

"Since the container is so simple, then using it must also be the simplest method."

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.

Inside the glass bottle, the blood mist was constantly rising.

To say what was simplest, nothing could be simpler than inhaling it.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and leaned his head directly over it.

He took a deep breath, inhaling the entire mass of blood mist into his lungs.

In an instant.

Chen Fan felt a warm current rise from his lungs, rushing straight to his brain.

It felt as if a flame had ignited inside his body, and his body temperature rose rapidly.

Chen Fan closed his eyes, carefully feeling the path of the warm current's circulation.

The abnormality lasted for a moment before slowly dissipating.

Chen Fan opened his eyes abruptly, looking ahead in disbelief.

In his brain, a huge fan-shaped virtual frame appeared.

This wasn't the end; he felt as if countless invisible energies were darting around inside his body.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the player for fusing a Talent.]

[New Talent: Exploration + Enchantment (A-Rank) upgraded to Exploration + Enchantment (SSS-Rank).]

[Current Talents: Infinite Carry (SSS-Rank) + Exploration (SSS-Rank) + Enchantment (SSS-Rank).]

The series of messages left Chen Fan stunned.

He opened the system interface.

After checking it several times, he confirmed he hadn't misheard.

The corners of his mouth gradually curled up, finally turning into wild laughter.

"Hahaha, Fangs, oh Fangs, you really are my blessing. Not only did you send me a Savage Island, but you also sent me two Talents."

After laughing wildly for a long time, Chen Fan gradually stopped.

But his body was still twitching, and he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth no matter how hard he tried.

This time, besides these things, there was one biggest gain.

That was information.

Now he knew how to obtain new Talents.

And with SSS-Rank Talents as a foundation, any new Talent obtained in the future would be SSS-Rank!

He took several deep breaths in a row, suppressing his violently beating heart.

After chanting for a moment, he opened his eyes abruptly.

A 120-degree fan-shaped light spread out, taking in all information along the way.

1 kilometer.

5 kilometers.

10 kilometers.

50 kilometers.

...

100 kilometers!

It spread out a full 100 kilometers!

The massive amount of information almost blew Chen Fan's brain apart.

Along the way, he even discovered a few players rowing rafts.

This was the first time he had seen other players in the Mainline World without using support.

It's just that these players were all having a pretty miserable time...

Chen Fan rubbed his slightly sore eyes and began to try the second form.

"Contract!"

As the words fell.

The 120-degree fan shape gradually contracted, and its length gradually increased.

Until it contracted to the thickness of a finger, the light extended to 1000 kilometers away!

Even though the range was extremely small, such a long distance still allowed Chen Fan to search out a few players.

"Too terrifying, is this SSS-Rank Exploration?"

Chen Fan smacked his lips, and a dangerous thought couldn't help but rise in his mind.

Since the Exploration distance was so large, why not gather The Five Women together.

And then enjoy nightly revelry...

No, help each other.

Nodding, Chen Fan was impressed by his own noble character.

Putting Exploration aside, Chen Fan's gaze fell on Enchantment.

According to Fangs, the Emperor's A-Rank Enchantment could only master two attributes: Fire and Explosion.

But Chen Fan felt that there was more than just two energies inside his body.

He closed his eyes and searched carefully.

"Red, orange, blue, gray, white."

There were actually five types!

The five types corresponded to: Fire, Explosion, Freeze, Gale, and Stun.

The types had increased, but he didn't know how much the attack power had increased.

Chen Fan took out his compound crossbow and cocked the bolt.

Ever since he got S-Class Crew Members, he hadn't used this thing again.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to try the Explosion attribute first.

After all, he had seen the Emperor and Fangs use Explosion arrows to attack many times.

Having a comparison would allow for a more intuitive judgment.

Walking to the side of the ship, after aiming slightly, Chen Fan pulled the trigger.

Orange energy instantly enveloped it, and the bolt flew out with a "swish".

Flying over twenty meters, the bolt plunged into the sea.

"Boom—"

A piercing Explosion sounded out with a bang.

The sea surface was first blasted into a pit with a diameter of ten meters.

Immediately, a huge sound wave spread out.

It even caused the avatar ship to tilt slightly.

Countless strange fish were blown to pieces, with blood and foam splattering everywhere.

After a few seconds, the sound wave completely dissipated, and the seawater covered the deep pit on the sea surface.

Chen Fan stared at this scene, dumbfounded.

"Holy cow, isn't this too exaggerated?"
