Global Navigation: If I can cheat, I can do whatever I want

Chapter 51 "Puzzle Solving and the Nature of Talent"

As soon as he finished speaking, six scimitars turned into death's scythes, aiming at various fatal parts of supervisor Xian Tao's body and cutting them off.

Either stabbing or poking, even slashing, neck, heart, waist and eyes, the sharp blade directly penetrated its body. Under the threat of death, the supervisor of Xitao instinctively used his abilities. In an instant, a large amount of acid and It dripped to the ground like water, making a "chichi" sound, trying to scare away the sailors.

However, what happened was contrary to expectations. Marquez's hands were like iron hoops, pulling the iron chain with great force while holding it firmly in place.

The restrained Supervisor Xitao didn't even have the ability to resist. With the obvious power gap, any struggle was in vain.

As the peak sailors pulled out the scimitar, they also took away the last of its strength. The feeling of life passing by shattered the long-lasting chaos. A ray of light flashed in its eyes, and finally it fell facing Marquis.

Frowning, Marquis took two steps back. Although this guy was dead, the acidic liquid on his body couldn't be faked. Although he hadn't encountered it yet, he didn't want to try the power of this thing himself. Can't hurt him.

It didn't take much effort to kill it. In the face of wisdom, the beast that relies on instinct to survive has never had the upper hand.

At the moment when the supervisor Kou Tao died, the treasure map in Qiao Yang's hand flashed with warmth, and the two lines of text in the middle were completely restored. He had just been wondering why he still couldn't see new prompts even though he had already arrived at his destination.

Now the truth is revealed. Overseer Kou Tao is clearly the boss of the first stage. Only by killing him and passing this part of the plot will the treasure map give hints for the next stage.

"In the heart of the sea, at the bottom of the ice, the tears of the sharks cover the sky."

I don't know if it was Qiao Yang's illusion, but after reading these four sentences, a vague scream sounded in his ears, and then disappeared quickly.

Auditory hallucinations?

Qiao Yang couldn't help but fell into deep thought. If he was on Blue Star, he would naturally regard it as an illusion, but here is the endless sea. Everything has a cause and effect. There are not so many coincidences in the world.

If that were all, though, there would be no way to stop him from moving forward. The unknown represents risk but also promises great reward.

"Captain, you are fortunate to have lived up to your command."

Marquis came back with the sailors, weapons on his waist, and nothing in his hands, because the treasure guardian did not drop items, but only provided experience, but it was still double experience, which was compensation for the lack of loot.

"It's okay. You have worked hard. Go down and rest. This guy is a poor guy, but he is still useful."

Smiling nonchalantly, Qiao Yang came to the corpse of supervisor Xian Tao, took out a dagger, cut open its chest, and with one hand flexibly removed its fist-sized heart, and obtained the Heart of the Sea.

Don't look at what the treasure map says in the hint. The heart of the sea is a kind of elegance. As long as it is the complete heart of intelligent life in the sea, it can be regarded as the heart of the sea. If Qiao Yang is more cruel, even if he kills one Shoal Murloc and then removing the heart also fits the bill.

Of course, he wouldn't do that if he didn't have to. After all, he was working for himself. He is a good person, and a very good person.

As for how to explain the bottom of the ice, it's even simpler. I knocked off a piece of broken rock and came to the edge of the cold pool. The cold air almost solidified and stung my face.

With a little force, the broken rock was thrown into the middle of the cold pool. The next moment, only a little white snow bloomed, and the five feet of water froze at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just one breath, the pool completely solidified.

From a scientific point of view, the water in the cold pool is supercooled water. If the broken rocks are thrown in, it can be regarded as a condensation point. There is no special reason. In fact, when high-level supernatural beings are not involved, the power of some low-level supernatural beings can basically be explained scientifically.

Now that there is ice, it’s time to go into the water. How can we not go down to the bottom of the ice?

After doing all this, Qiao Yang waved behind him. Tina kept waiting and stepped forward and said:

"Boss, what do you want?"

"Give me a bundle of rope. I will go down in a while. I will pull the rope if necessary. Just pull me up when the time comes."

"Understood, boss, please proceed with caution."

Without any hesitation, Tina took out a few ropes from the package she carried with her and handed them to Qiao Yang, then forcefully handed the other end to Marquis. In terms of strength, the latter was superior.

Qiao Yang skillfully tied the rope around his waist and tied it with a slipknot. He was not sure what was under the water. The ice blocked the sense of danger. The slipknot was to prevent the life-saving props from turning into a reminder. He had the Ocean Affinity Specialty. His lung capacity is far greater than that of ordinary people, and he can fight to the death even if there is an accident.

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Yang took off his water-absorbent clothes, leaving only his weapon and inner armor. He was about to hit the ice with his scimitar, but it went straight through, as if the ice didn't exist.

"Illusion?"

He killed this idea as soon as it appeared. With the guidance of the treasure map, it couldn't be fake. Since it was not an illusion, it could only be the characteristics of the treasure place. This academy also taught it.

Putting aside his worries, Qiao Yang checked the rope again, then jumped and submerged into the ice. The biting cold skimmed his skin, making him unable to hold back.

Fortunately, the temperature was not as low as he thought. On the contrary, the temperature under the water was actually a little higher than above. However, in this case, he could only persist for five minutes, otherwise he would have been suffering from hypothermia, even if he had an amazing physique. Also die directly.

So the question is, since treasure hunting is so dangerous and Qiao Yang knows the information on the treasure map and can understand it, why not let his subordinates do it for him instead of doing it himself? After all, it is better to die as a younger brother than as a dead boss.

This has to mention the nature of talent. When they were in the academy, every senior would tell the newcomers that all talents only affect the adventurer himself!

Whether it is a direct bonus type, such as strength enhancement, perception enhancement, or a trait type, such as spell mastery, thief, etc., generally speaking, it cannot directly affect the native life of the Endless Sea.

Let's talk about Qiao Yang's treasure hunter talent. Strictly speaking, his talent can be classified as destiny. The effect has far-reaching effects, but it will not directly increase his strength.

But destiny talents are quite special. They are one of the few powers that can interact with the Endless Sea itself. It can be said that the current treasure trove was created by Qiao Yang through his talents, but it does not affect other people.

Even if there is a hint and he knows the answer, he cannot let his men solve the puzzle unless the treasure finally materializes and he can move all the loot away just like he did in Dead Bay.

To put it simply, Wuwuhai recognized Qiao Yang's existence, but he needed to solve the treasure puzzle by himself. However, the treasure guardians he met along the way did not have one-on-one treatment and could completely let his subordinates fight in groups.
