Although the underwater visibility was not high, the landscape was complicated, and there were aquatic plants everywhere. It was difficult for the fish to be discovered by predators if they hid here. However, under the microscopic identification of the digital vision, the group of Devil Fish with spikes could not hide.
Rows of data and labels slid across the field of vision. After removing the useless information such as the temperature, brightness, and speed of the seawater.
The digital vision not only marked the position of each Devil Fish, but also projected their silhouettes on the retina.
Elvin did not rashly alarm these big fish. He quietly returned to the surface of the water. He slowly stepped on the water and gently adjusted the position of the raft, moving it directly above the center of the group of Devil Fish.
He took a light breath and pushed the four or five big stones on the raft into the sea. Then, he quickly took out a long and thick iron plate and an iron rod from his backpack. Elvin followed the stones and slid into the water again.
Under the water.
The moment Elvin entered the water, he held the iron plate in one hand and the iron rod in the other. He used all his strength to hit them together. The falling speed of the stones in the water was much slower than in the air. However, the speed of sound waves in the water was much faster than in the air.
"Ding dang, ding dang, ding dang …"
Almost at the same time, loud noises and stones fell on the heads of the group of Devil Fish.
Frightened by the sudden "attack," the group of cowardly Devil Fish immediately turned red with the spikes on their tails. They raised their spikes high and shot out fiercely.
The fins stirred up the current and stirred up a large amount of sand on the seabed. The group of Devil Fish instantly disappeared without a trace.
Elvin floated on the surface of the sea. After the sand and dust settled, he dived into the seabed again. As expected, he found three or four red spikes lying quietly on the seabed. As for the others, he did not know where they had shot them.
Success!
Elvin was overjoyed. He had only wanted to give it a try. He did not expect such a clumsy plan to fool them.
He immediately took action. Without any accidents, he obtained four red spikes, two long and two short.
As an auxiliary material for concocting potions, these spikes were irreplaceable, although they were not used much. Now that he had obtained these, he would not have to worry about a shortage for the next few years.
"Since I've gone out to the sea, I should also collect the other materials needed for the Black Sea Potion. The raw materials for the Black Sea Potion can basically be found in the Black Sea. Hopefully, we can still find something today. "
Since the shop wasn't open in the morning, Elvin decided to spend the day here. He would strive to find all the parts of the potion formula that were so strange that it was basically impossible to buy them in a pharmacy.
Thus, Elvin began to repeat the process of diving, observing, returning, changing locations, and diving again. It had to be said that Leopold's sea area was rich in biological resources. By the afternoon, the materials such as the hexagonal blue starfish, the three unique seaweeds, and the black-striped sea urchin were all found.
The last main ingredient left was … Shark's teeth.
Elvin didn't see him this time. Well, he didn't want to see him in the sea anyway, especially when he was alone on a wooden raft …
Because in the waters of Leopold, sharks were caught by fishing boats from time to time. When the time came, they just needed to wait at the dock. Even if there weren't any fresh ones, they could still find them at the place where the fish were disposed of and discarded. It was just that the effect would be a little worse.
The collection mission was mostly completed.
But out of Elvin's expectation, there were a lot of "unexpected surprises" in the process of collecting the raw materials. Beautiful shells, rusty copper keys, a small red coral, and even a few pearls with poor quality were harvested.
Although they weren't worth much, they gave him a different kind of satisfaction. With great interest, Elvin had already turned the herb-collecting trip into a treasure-hunting trip.
Unknowingly, Elvin had been far away from the original water area, and the color of the sea was gradually deepening.
"Hoo!"
After getting out of the water without any harvest, Elvin took a look at the slanted sun and decided to dive for the last time. Whether there was any harvest or not, he would return directly.
With the practice of the Knight's Breathing Technique all year round, Elvin could hold his breath for a much longer time under the water than ordinary people, and the diving depth was also much deeper. It allowed him to go to places that ordinary fishermen couldn't reach.
With the intention of testing his limits, Elvin carried a rock and dived down along the endless seabed. He only stopped when his vision gradually became limited and he had to rely on his digitized vision to barely see.
Even with his supernatural powers, Elvin couldn't stay underwater for a long time. He had to seize the time to search for possible "treasures".
As far as the eye could see, even though there was no longer any sunlight, other than the reefs and gravel at the bottom of the sea, there were still fish and crustaceans of various colors and shapes swimming among the reefs. The world of the supernatural had clearly created tenacious lifeforms that were compatible with it.
"What's that?"
Soon, Elvin found a seashell in a gap between the reefs under the guidance of his digitized vision. It was a seashell that was even bigger than a pumpkin.
All sorts of parasites grew on the seashell, and it was almost one with the reefs beside it. If not for the help of his digitized vision, Elvin wouldn't have been able to discover it even if he passed by it.
He took out the dagger tied to his calf and inserted it into the gap between the seashell before he pried it open. A gentle glow of pearls flowed out. One, two, three … A total of three black pearls, one big and two small, were picked out by the dagger.
Even though Elvin didn't know much about the jewelry of this era, he still had some basic knowledge. Based on the lowest estimate, these three black pearls of excellent quality were worth at least a hundred Gold Lions.
Based on the prices of this era, a six-year-old military horse at its peak condition was worth no more than a hundred Gold Lions. To a Knight, owning a strong military horse was even more prestigious than owning a mid-to-high-end car in his previous life.
Using the income of an ordinary person as an example, a noble's attendant who was considered to have a high income would only earn three silver bulls a month, which was equivalent to one Gold Lion.
It was easy to imagine how much wealth this was.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Elvin carefully put his harvest into the small pocket at his waist. He threw away the rock and was about to float to the surface again.
Elvin, who was a little carried away, had clearly forgotten that he was at the bottom of the sea, where danger lurked everywhere, and not a well-serviced jewelry store.
His upward momentum was suddenly stopped by a slight tightening of his ankle.
Elvin thought that he was being entangled by seaweed, but he couldn't break free from it even when he tried. His heart skipped a beat.
Gulp, gulp …
Elvin turned around to look. He was so shocked that he almost let out the air in his mouth.
A giant octopus with a reddish-brown body like a reef had lurked beside Elvin without him noticing. It was a thick limb that was more than three meters long that was entangled around his ankle.
In the face of such a sudden change, Elvin didn't struggle in vain like an ordinary person. His training since young told him that if he panicked when facing an enemy that was stronger than him, the outcome would be doomed. It was the same when he faced the violent lynx, and it was the same when he faced the giant octopus today.
The giant octopus was obviously impatient. After entangling its prey, its other limbs clung onto the reef and slowly dragged Elvin down. It looked like it wanted to drown him in the deep sea and enjoy a feast immediately.
At the critical moment, escape plans popped up in his mind one by one, but they were quickly rejected.
But no matter how fast the ideas in his mind were, they couldn't be faster than the body of a trainee Knight that had been trained to fight instincts. Driven by his strong survival instinct, Elvin didn't resist the giant octopus's drag. Instead, he used the force to kick off the reef and dive down.
He knew that it was impossible for him to outrun this cunning predator at the bottom of the sea. The only way to survive was to kill it! It was just an ordinary sea creature with a large body, not a violent animal. It wasn't certain who would win.
Although the giant octopus was very smart, it couldn't guess what was in Elvin's mind. Seeing that he took the initiative to swim over, the rest of its tentacles opened up, waiting for the prey to come to its mouth so that it could eat it.
Using the recoil force, Elvin, who was very close to the giant octopus, had already seen the terrifying beak-like mouthpart among its tentacles. He didn't dare to hesitate anymore. His strong and powerful legs swung hard, and his body accelerated again.
Before the giant octopus could react, Elvin had already stuck to its forehead and looked at the two fist-sized yellow eyes at close range.
The suckers on its tentacles and the pigment patches under its skin were all clearly visible.
With a grin, Elvin had already sent the dagger in his hand into between the eyes of the giant octopus without hesitation, which was also the location of its nerve center.
Chirp …
Ignoring the giant octopus that was struggling behind him and waving its tentacles, Elvin rushed to the surface of the water. If he waited for another half a minute, he would drown at the bottom of the sea even if the giant octopus didn't eat him.
Rushing out of the water and climbing onto the raft, Elvin didn't forget to carefully pack up all his gains. He picked up the oars and quickly paddled to the beach as if he was escaping.
The sea was too dangerous for him now. He would almost die if he left the shallow beach just a little bit. But Elvin firmly believed that one day he would be able to conquer this vast Black Sea, and even explore the more magnificent and fantastical scenery in the distance!
