Legendary material Ocean Rhythm

Consuming ten Sea Crystals,

an aquamarine gem appeared in Lin Yuan's hand.

【essence of the sea - material】

【quality: Epic】

【Use: Can grant weapons Water attribute attacks, and grant armor 15% Physical Damage Reduction.】

(Ten essence of the sea - material can be synthesized into one Rhyme of the Sea)

"Not bad." Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

If a full set of defensive Equipment were forged using essence of the sea - material,

the Physical Damage Reduction would reach 75%.

This would be the bane of physical classes.

However, Lin Yuan did not plan to do this.

He prepared to continue synthesizing.

The essence of the sea - material was already an Epic-quality material,

so the Rhyme of the Sea synthesized from ten essence of the sea - material,

would undoubtedly be a legendary-quality material.

If given the choice, Lin Yuan would naturally choose the better one.

While Lin Yuan was synthesizing the gem, Wells finally snapped out of his daze.

The combined momentum of the Bone Storm and Nether Fire just now was too overwhelming.

It instantly annihilated those troublesome Sea Elementals.

Just moments ago, Wells had advised Lin Yuan not to waste energy,

and to skip this group of Sea Elementals entirely.

But then Ghost turned around and gave everyone a surprise,

proving that he was currently the face of magic damage output among Lin Yuan's subordinates.

"Warrior, you are truly amazing!"

"The mighty Sea Elementals were all wiped out in one go."

"It's incredible!"

Wells complimented him.

His eyes darted around, and he continued,

"The commotion caused by killing the Sea Elementals was too great. I think Necromancer Leibiya has already discovered us."

"We must defeat Leibiya before she summons more Sea Elementals."

Wells said a lot, but Lin Yuan didn't pay any attention.

He was busy synthesizing.

Ten essence of the sea - material fused together,

transforming into an azure gem.

The gem was palm-sized and looked no different from an ordinary sapphire,

But upon closer inspection, one could see miniature ocean wave whirlpools inside.

Staring at it for too long made one feel as if they might be sucked into the deep sea.

【Rhyme of the Sea - Material】

【quality: legendary】

【Use: Holding the Rhyme of the Sea grants the blessing of the sea, allowing free movement and breathing in the ocean. When used to forge Equipment, it grants the Equipment a Mimicry Effect, allowing it to change into any form.】

"Ah, this thing is good."

Lin Yuan held the Rhyme of the Sea,

He felt a film of protection, thin as a cicada's wing, appear around his body.

This protective film allowed Lin Yuan to move and breathe freely underwater.

However, Lin Yuan already had a diving suit,

so he temporarily didn't need the Rhyme of the Sea.

Therefore, Lin Yuan summoned A'lan.

He placed the gem in A'lan's hand.

"A'lan, you hold onto this for now."

"With the Rhyme of the Sea, we won't have to worry about insufficient oxygen levels anymore."

A'lan held the Rhyme of the Sea,

The oxygen level on her Panel rapidly recovered.

In two or three seconds, it rose to 100%,

After that, the number never changed again.

Besides Tie Chui,

the oxygen supply issues for A Li, A'lan, and Ghost had all been resolved.

Lin Yuan thought about it and decided to just summon Tie Chui as well.

He still had six breathing grass in his hand,

which could last for 30 minutes.

If they worked efficiently, 30 minutes would be enough to clear the Dungeon before them.

"Tie Chui, this is breathing grass. Eating it will extend your breathing time."

Lin Yuan gave all the breathing grass to Tie Chui.

He glanced around, making sure nothing was missed,

He prepared to meet Necromancer Leibiya,

and see what she was made of.

Just as he was about to leave, Wells asked hesitantly,

"Warrior, do you need breathing grass?"

Lin Yuan turned his head and looked at Wells.

"What? Do you know where breathing grass is found."

"I do." Wells cast his gaze towards the surrounding mining pits.

"breathing grass is a byproduct of Sea Ore."

"There is a high probability of finding breathing grass when mining Sea Ore."

"breathing grass tastes fresh and sweet, and is usually carried around as a snack."

"Why didn't you say so earlier." Lin Yuan said, annoyed.

So it turned out that obtaining breathing grass was this simple—

just mine.

If Wells had mentioned it earlier, with the four Summoned Beasts present,

they probably would have already advanced to Warlord Kaliserus.

"But Warrior, you didn't ask," Wells said, wrinkling his small face, looking wronged.

Lin Yuan ignored what he said.

With a wave of his hand,

he ordered the surrounding Undead to start mining.

As Destined Laborers, the Undead's work efficiency was second to none.

In less than 5 minutes,

the surrounding mining pits collectively dropped by half a meter,

hundreds of pieces of Sea Ore were dug out,

and over 50 stalks of breathing grass were excavated.

Seeing that his objective was met, Lin Yuan signaled the Undead to stop.

He gave all 50-plus stalks of breathing grass to Tie Chui.

Now, Tie Chui's oxygen supply issue was also solved.

Lin Yuan held a piece of light blue ore in his hand.

【Sea Ore】

【quality: Bronze】

【Use: Unknown】

Lin Yuan checked the attributes of the Sea Ore,

and the 'Use' section showed 'Unknown'.

A Bronze-quality ore having an unknown use

immediately piqued Lin Yuan's interest.

"Wells, what are these ores used for."

Wells opened his mouth, ready to make something up,

but Lin Yuan's next words made him swallow the excuse he had prepared,

"Answer me honestly."

"If I find out you lied to me, there will be no need for the Bluefin Clan to exist in this world."

The slightly indifferent words sent a shiver down Wells's spine.

He looked back at his Bluefin clansmen.

Many of them were watching Wells with hopeful eyes.

After some consideration,

Wells decided to tell the truth.

"Sea Ore contains a trace of weak ocean energy. When this energy accumulates to a certain level, it can open the passage to the Endless Sea."

"The steam furnace we just passed is the device used to purify the energy inside the Sea Ore."

Lin Yuan understood now.

Casually tossing the ore away, Lin Yuan put his hands behind his back.

"So, the reason Warlord Kaliserus enslaved your clansmen was to mine enough Sea Ore,"

"to open the passage to the Endless Sea and allow Treader of Waves Modrig to descend?"

"That's right." A strange look suddenly flashed in Wells's eyes,

But Lin Yuan had his back turned and did not notice this.

Wells lowered his head and said,

"Warrior, you must have come this time intending to close the gateway to the Endless Sea, right."

"Warlord Kaliserus has been preparing to open the gateway to the Endless Sea for over ten years."

"We don't have much time left. We must defeat Warlord Kaliserus as quickly as possible."

"We need to seal the ocean energy that has already been refined. Only then can we ensure the passage to the Endless Sea will not open."

Lin Yuan had his back to Wells, a smile curling up the corner of his mouth.

Close the passage to the Endless Sea?

No, no, no.

That is not my goal at all.

Not only will I not close it,

I will open the gateway as wide as possible.

Being constantly targeted from behind isn't a good situation.

I might as well let Treader of Waves Modrig invade Blue Star,

and then pull a 'shut the door and beat the dog' maneuver.
