Chapter 78

The so-called treasures were drugs, different from ordinary potions. Some could be eaten directly, and some could only be used directly and not mixed with other things.

Gongsun Murong and Nalasha held nineteen items, three of which were minerals, two were stone-like substances from animal bodies, and six were fungi.

The remaining eight were plants.

The two did not have professional equipment to analyze these items, they only knew that these things would not kill them, and they could eat them.

The nineteen items included eight that could enhance mental power and eleven that could enhance muscles, bones, and internal organs.

The two called Lucia over and showed her the items.

Lucia was sad because Xiao Jin could not accompany her; the little tiger was left to be raised in the palace.

Since then, Lucia had been sad since boarding the spacecraft.

When she saw the nineteen items, her sadness instantly disappeared. She looked at Gongsun Murong and Nalasha in surprise and asked softly, "Where did you find these treasures?"

"On the Mountain of Extreme Heat and Cold, the best nineteen were all taken by me and Brother Murong. Now we are dividing the spoils," Nalasha said with a thief-like demeanor.

"These are your things, I, I don't want them," Lucia said, but her eyes couldn't leave the treasures.

"We are good partners, right?" Nalasha said, hugging Lucia.

Gongsun Murong had already divided the items based on their approximate effectiveness, though not very accurately.

He and Lucia each ate four items that enhanced mental power.

He and Nalasha each ate four items that enhanced physical strength.

Lucia received three items that enhanced physical strength, but the total content was roughly equivalent to four.

Nalasha did not eat any items that enhanced mental power.

"Nalasha, we are good partners, why don't you eat?" Lucia was unhappy.

"I don't need them. I am now a Level 5 Earth Mage. I can sleep for a year and increase my mental power by ten or even a hundred times. Even without sleeping, my growth rate is faster than taking drugs."

"If you don't believe me, just watch. In a month, I will be a Level 6 Earth Mage. After another ten months, I will sleep and wake up as a Heaven Mage," Nalasha explained with a smile.

"Right," Gongsun Murong confirmed, though he was a bit jealous.

Lucia sighed. She was upset and annoyed. Her good partner was too unreasonable, even sleeping could enhance her.

The taste of the items was not good, but the three still ate them as if they were the best food in the world.

They then needed to digest and absorb the effects, which would take about twenty days.

******

The other people on the spacecraft did not know that someone was secretly eating good things.

The ultra-large combat magic spacecraft was faster, more solid, and had better interference resistance.

It was impossible for someone to shoot down a spacecraft with two Mike war attachments.

To fall, one would have to accidentally enter a forbidden magic field.

However, the flagship of the fleet had an expensive magic wave detection device, and forbidden magic fields also had magic waves.

If it was not a large-scale field, it could be detected and avoided in advance.

The one Gongsun Murong and the others obtained was only medium-sized, worth 100 billion gold coins.

The cost of a large-scale one was even higher.

Ten days later, the scenery below turned blue during the day and black at night, indicating the sea.

Children who had never seen the sea were excitedly peering out the windows.

They watched the waves layer upon layer, never stopping.

They watched seabirds flying in the sky, fish leaping out of the water.

They watched the waves crash against the protruding rocks and turn into foam.

Children who lived by the sea told stories about the sea to the others, about what was delicious in the sea, how fishermen fished, and what happened after a tsunami.

Gongsun Murong, Lucia, and Nalasha remained in their cabin, absorbing energy and transforming their bodies.

Lucia's mental power had already reached the level of a Level 7 Great Mage. She believed that after absorbing everything, she would become a Level 8 Great Mage.

The value of the treasures was in their rarity; once they appeared, people would fight to the death for them.

Even if the person who fought for them had high strength and the effect was small, they could still give them to their children, who would gain more with lower strength.

Lucia also practiced the almost universal martial qi. With the help of the treasures, she, a little girl, reached the strength of a Level 5 martial qi. She didn't know where she would end up after absorbing everything.

Nalasha and Gongsun Murong also improved in various aspects.

Gongsun Murong became an Earth Mage and was advancing to a Level 2 Earth Mage, with martial qi at Level 7, Grade 5.

Nalasha's martial qi was at Level 7, Grade 3.

But her Fuxi Technique had improved from a Grade 1 to a Grade 3, and she hadn't even finished absorbing yet.

Gongsun Murong felt that even if Nalasha were compared to the top members of his family, she would still be at the top.

She had jumped four minor levels and crossed one major level.

While he had only advanced a bit more than one level, although the higher the grade, the slower the improvement, the difference was still too great.

Gongsun Murong could only continue to work hard, as he did not want to be surpassed by Nalasha in any aspect.

Even though he knew Nalasha's race was different, he still did not want to admit that he was inferior to her.

Of course, Gongsun Murong did not teach the Fuxi Technique to Lucia.

It wasn't that he had intended to keep it secret from the beginning, but he found that Lucia's constitution was not suitable for the Fuxi Technique.

As for why Nalasha was suitable, Gongsun Murong didn't have the energy to think about it.

Gongsun Murong felt that Nalasha had a universal constitution, able to practice anything and progress very quickly.

It seemed she was naturally meant to be a warrior, learning various combat techniques and being sent to battle or special situations to achieve victory or a certain goal.

******

There was a slight deviation from the initial estimate. It took twenty-two days for the three to complete their absorption.

Lucia's overall strength was Level 5, Grade 9 martial qi, and Level 8 Great Mage.

Gongsun Murong was a Level 2 Earth Mage, just a bit short of becoming a Level 3 Earth Mage, with Level 8, Grade 2 martial qi, and Fuxi Technique at Grade 5, middle level.

Nalasha's Fuxi Technique was at Grade 3, upper level, with Level 7, Grade 7 martial qi. What left Lucia speechless was...

Nalasha had not taken any drugs to enhance mental power, yet she still reached the level of a Level 6 Earth Mage in less than a month.

Could it be that her improved constitution also increased her mental power?

After twenty-two days, Gongsun Murong and the others finally left their cabin.

Others were also practicing, but none of them practiced for over twenty days without appearing.

Most people would appear daily, chat with others, and so on.

Even the crew members didn't want to stay in one place all day.

Now, many people were gathered in the spacecraft's hall, looking through the windows at the battle of fierce beasts in the sea below.

The three also went over to watch.

They had never seen such creatures, and they couldn't find them in any books.

It was estimated that there were too many types of marine life to record each one.

There were two large groups of fierce beasts fighting in the sea, on the surface, and in the low air.

One type had short wings, a robust body, a long tail, and sharp teeth.

The other type had large wings, a small body, a forked tail, and four rows of teeth.

The spacecraft was not flying slowly, but the battle scenes of the two groups of fierce beasts still appeared along the way.

This only indicated that the number of these groups was extremely large.

The fierce beasts used their claws to grab, their teeth to bite, their tails to whip, and their bodies to collide.

Then there were various water magic techniques, such as using whirlpools to trap, water arrows to attack, and water shields to defend. Water columns collided with each other.

Occasionally, ice blades would appear, or a fierce beast would be frozen in a block of ice.

The blood of these two types of fierce beasts was red.

The entire sea surface was dyed red, with countless corpses floating.

There were also those who were not dead but severely injured, being torn apart by other fierce beasts.

The brutal war, the惨烈的场面，无休止的厮杀。

直到舰队终于离开那个地方，观看的孩子们还没有从刚才的影像中恢复过来。

有的孩子目光中的神色是不忍，有的是茫然，有的是恐惧，还有的是坚定。

这是一次针对心灵的冲击，每个人都有着自己的判断和想法。

六十个孩子里，只有四个人无动于衷，表情自然。

他们是，公孙慕容、哈罗德、娜拉莎和露西娅。

哪怕同为皇室成员的麦尔斯都在紧张，或者说是兴奋地咽着口水。

舰长范伦铁恩用手上的记录仪器记录着孩子们的表情，他自己同时也在观察着。

当看到有四个小家伙根本不受影响后。

他是十分吃惊的。

他知道哈罗德身为皇室的人，已经十八岁，接受过专门的培养和教导，他能做到这么冷静，让人欣慰。

但剩下那三个怎么也能那般平静？

皇室的另一个成员麦尔斯比不上另外的两个小女孩儿？

“露西娅，你不害怕？”他问向露西娅。

露西娅扭头看过去，笑了笑：“被刺杀一次后，我就不在乎了，后来又看过慕容哥哥和我的好伙伴娜拉莎跟米契尔帝国一个舰队的战斗影像，我可以坦然面对一切了。”

露西娅的话让很多孩子感到吃惊，居然被刺杀过？还有那什么影像是什么？

露西娅又接着说：“至于慕容哥哥和娜拉莎，他俩从祈水城东边的大沙漠中，踩着无数的凶兽与冒险者的尸体，一路走来。”

小家伙们的眼睛亮了，看向公孙慕容两个人的时候，带着崇拜的神情。

娜拉莎顺着说道：“所以我觉得，我们应该加快速度，在达到目的地之前，寻找一群海里的凶兽，跟它们干一仗。”

范伦铁恩愣了，找一群海里的凶兽，让孩子们干一仗？出了事情怎么办？

他看向另一个年龄段的队长，哈罗德。

哈罗德瞧瞧公孙慕容，又瞅瞅娜拉莎，毅然说道：“我同意。”

The brutal war, the惨烈的场面，无休止的厮杀。

Until the fleet finally left that place, the children who had been watching had not yet recovered from the images they had seen.

Some children had expressions of pity, some were bewildered, some were frightened, and some were determined.

This was a psychological impact, and each person had their own judgment and thoughts.

Out of the sixty children, only four remained completely unaffected, with natural expressions.

They were Gongsun Murong, Harold, Nalasha, and Lucia.

Even Miles, another member of the royal family, was nervous, or rather, excitedly swallowing his saliva.

Captain Valentin used the recording device in his hand to record the children's expressions, while also observing them himself.

When he saw that four children were completely unaffected,

He was very surprised.

He knew that Harold, as a member of the royal family, was already eighteen years old, had received specialized training and education, and could remain so calm, which was reassuring.

But how could the other three remain so calm?

Was the other royal member, Miles, not as good as the two little girls?

"Lucia, aren't you afraid?" he asked Lucia.

Lucia turned her head and smiled, "After being assassinated once, I don't care anymore. Later, I watched the battle footage of Brother Murong and my good partner Nalasha against a fleet of the Mitchell Empire. I can face everything calmly."

Lucia's words surprised many children. She had been assassinated? And what footage was that?

Lucia continued, "As for Brother Murong and Nalasha, they walked through the great desert east of Qishui City, stepping on the bodies of countless fierce beasts and adventurers."

The children's eyes lit up, and they looked at Gongsun Murong and Nalasha with admiration.

Nalasha added, "So I think we should speed up and, before we reach our destination, find a group of fierce beasts in the sea and fight them."

Valentin was stunned. Find a group of fierce beasts in the sea and let the children fight them? What if something goes wrong?

He looked at the other team leader, Harold.

Harold glanced at Gongsun Murong, then at Nalasha, and firmly said, "I agree."
