Chapter 312 Completeness Improved!
Zhang Yan changed the flight path to the southeast.
full speed.
Section 45.
The sea-devouring shark left a churning trail underwater, and the water around its fuselage was churned into boiling white foam by the high-speed thrusters.
Two A+ level tracking signals trailed behind, drawing two red lines on the sonar.
The giant eel was moving even faster, approaching from behind at a speed of nearly thirty meters per second.
The giant ray was slower, but it wasn't chasing; it was flanking—it slid southeast along the basin sidewall, trying to intercept the sea shark at the gap.
Zhang Yan glanced at the intersection of the extended lines of the two red lines.
gap.
The two A+ students coincidentally chose to encircle each other at the gap.
That's too late.
At the current speed, the giant ray will arrive at the gap three seconds before the mechanical shark.
Three seconds is enough for it to block a 60-meter-wide passage with its body.
Zhang Yan made a decision.
He freed his right hand and pressed the torpedo launch button.
The target is not a monster.
It is the rock wall above the gap.
A supercavitating torpedo roared out and accurately struck the cliff at the top of the gap.
explosion.
Hundreds of tons of rocks crashed down from above, but not into the gap—they landed outside the gap, hitting the giant ray on the head as it was about to slide along the wall.
The giant ray was hit by a falling rock, and its body was pressed down and tilted nearly twenty degrees.
It wasn't a serious injury, but it slowed it down by two seconds.
Two seconds is enough.
The sea-devouring shark passed through the upper part of the gap that was not yet completely blocked by falling rocks.
The side of the fuselage scraped against the rock wall, the metal shell emitting a screeching sound—a two-meter-long scratch was etched onto the left side of the shark's body.
It's nothing serious.
The moment he passed through the gap, Zhang Yan straightened his course, pointed the nose upward, and ascended at full speed.
Three thousand two hundred meters... three thousand meters... two thousand eight hundred meters.
The depth is decreasing rapidly.
For every 100 meters the boat ascends, the water pressure decreases by one point, and the mechanical shark's propulsion efficiency increases by one point.
Behind them, two A+ class vehicles also passed through the gap.
The giant eel held on tightly.
The giant ray below it followed by a meandering approach with a larger turning radius.
Two thousand five hundred meters.
Zhang Yan still had a torpedo in his hand.
The last one.
He was useless.
This one was saved for a crucial moment.
Two kilometers.
The giant eel's pursuit distance was reduced to eighty meters.
Its four-lobed head is fully open, and the ends of its horny teeth create fine, turbulent water currents.
Zhang Yan pulled out a metal disc from under the control panel.
The heart of nature's craftsmanship.
The Heavenly Craftsmanship Heart, with 92% completeness, shone with an unprecedentedly intense blue light in his palm.
He didn't know what new things this thing could do in its 92% state, but he did know one thing—the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship had a natural restraining and absorbing effect on the energy of the Ruins.
The energy flowing within these two A+ grade beings is the energy of the Void.
He inserted the disc into the pre-reserved slot above the control panel.
Blue light diffused from the disc, spreading outwards along the metal frame of the cockpit, eventually covering the entire shell of the Sea Devourer Shark.
A system notification popped up.
[Heart of the Celestial Craftsmanship is 92% complete, unlocking a new feature – "Purification Pulse".]
[Effect: Releases a one-time, large-scale energy pulse, causing vibrational suppression on the energy carriers of the Ruins. Effective range: 200 meters. Cooldown time: 72 hours.]
Zhang Yan finished reading it.
Within a 200-meter radius.
The giant eel was 80 meters behind.
He neither slowed down nor turned.
Wait until it gets a little closer.
1,800 meters deep.
Sixty meters.
Fifty meters.
Forty meters.
The giant eel's four-lobed head was completely enveloped in the mechanical shark's tail, and its horny teeth were about to touch the outer edge of the thruster.
Zhang Yan pressed down the Heavenly Craftsmanship Heart.
Blue light levels have surged.
A visible blue energy wave spread outwards in all directions from the center of the sea-devouring shark.
The blue light in the water was like the midday sun shining into the abyss.
The purification pulse hit the giant eel.
The effect is immediate.
The dark red soft tissue on the giant eel's body trembled violently under the blue light—as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid, large areas of it ulcerated and peeled off, revealing the grayish-white, uncontaminated, original muscle tissue underneath.
It is no longer rated A+.
Its shell and regenerative abilities, enhanced by the energy of the void, crumbled instantly under the pulse impact, turning it back into an ordinary deep-sea creature—a huge, but much more vulnerable eel.
Its speed dropped sharply.
The four petals of its head closed together, emitting a high-pitched mournful cry, before turning and fleeing into the deep sea.
The giant ray was also affected by the pulse wave.
It was about 150 meters below the Sea Devourer Shark—just at the edge of the 200-meter range. The pulse effect was much weaker, but it still dimmed the dark red aura around it.
The giant ray did not escape.
It is still chasing upwards.
But the speed is slow.
Zhang Yan did not look back.
The sea-devouring shark continued to rise.
1,500 meters. 1,000 meters.
The giant ray's signal was getting farther and farther away on the sonar.
It stopped at a depth of 800 meters.
It was as if there were some invisible boundary that it was unwilling and unable to cross the 800-meter water depth.
Zhang Yan stared at the red dot on the sonic boom that gradually came to a standstill, and waited another thirty seconds to confirm that it really had stopped chasing.
He took the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship out of the slot, and the blue light in his palm slowly faded.
A new ring of patterns appeared on the disc—as if the integrity had slightly decreased from 92% to 91% after that pulse was applied.
The cost is not high.
Zhang Yan carefully put the disc away.
500 meters... 300 meters... 100 meters.
The color of the seawater changed from jet black to deep blue, and then from deep blue to a light turquoise bathed in sunlight.
A monstrous shark bursts out of the water.
Over the Pacific Ocean, it was already broad daylight.
Sunlight shone on the mask, and Zhang Yan squinted.
He looked down at his hands.
Very stable.
It's even more stable than when it's below.
The phone vibrated seventeen times the moment the signal was restored.
It was all news about Nie Qingcheng.
The time span is from when he went missing until five minutes ago.
The last one has four characters.
"Zhang Yan, answer me."
No punctuation, no facial expressions.
Zhang Yan knows her too well.
The more nervous she was, the cleaner she typed.
He dialed the phone.
It was answered after ringing for less than half a ring.
"Feed." Nie Qingcheng's voice was unusually flat.
"I got it," Zhang Yan said.
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.
Then he heard a very soft exhale.
"The fifth piece?"
"Hmm. The Heart of Heaven's Craftsmanship is 92% complete."
It was quiet for a while.
Are you hurt?
"No. The mechanical shark just got a scratch; we can get it repainted when we get back."
"...I don't believe it."
"No, really."
"Where are you now?"
"Sunbathing on the Pacific Ocean."
Finally, a nasal laugh came from the other end of the phone.
"Get back here right now."
It's rolling.
Zhang Yan hung up the phone, set the course, and the Devouring Shark submerged back below the surface.
He took the insulated bag out of the storage compartment on the side of the seat and glanced at the crooked skull on it.
There was another item in the paper in my pocket.
A screenshot of the system panel was in his mind—Heart of the Gods completeness 92%.
It's still 8% away from 100%.
However, 92% have already unlocked the purification pulse.
What about when it's 100%?
He leaned back in his seat, staring at the metal ceiling above the cockpit.
Countdown: Seven months and twenty-five days.
He didn't fall into Ito's trap, but the other side won't let it go easily.
Pollution in northern Myanmar is still spreading.
He still doesn't know what's hidden behind that eerie "cleanliness" on the Sakura Kingdom archipelago.
And that giant, dark red eye watching him from deep space.
One thing after another got bigger and bigger.
But at this moment, he only wanted to do one thing.
Go back and cook a bowl of noodles for Nie Qingcheng.
She must have eaten instant noodles again.
