chapter-3863
"Are you excited?" asked Zarna, as we waited on the deck, with a thousand others for the ship to lower its shields.
"I am," I replied.
It is one of the times we are getting out of the ship to hunt the treasures of the sea. This time, it is not for rare fish or a sunken ship for the hidden treasure.
This time, it is for the pearls.
It is ekari pearls. They are rare pearls and expensive. Used in from medicine to artifice. I want them, I have use for them and immediately signed myself up, when it is announced, they have sensed a large group of them.I was planning on doing something else today and nearly started before the announcement came. I have been thinking about it for two months, delaying with the excuse of being not ready, before finally deciding to do it.
I am going to do it after I harvest some pearls.
It won't be easy to get those pearls; the oysters are dangerous. My clone had read the information. People need to be careful, or they will become the food of those oysters.
I could see Ven and Sarena, not far away. I had talked a few words with them before talking with the new group of friends.
On the island, we have decided to limit contact with each other. All of us have secrets and if one got implicated, it might implicate the others.
So, we show friendliness, but not enough to arouse suspicion if any of us are caught with our secrets. To be honest, their secret; is much easier to discover than mine, especially now that I have leveled up.
The prime might not find anything. If he scanned me deeply, it wouldn't be the case with them, while they have their defenses against such things and they are strong, but it is Prime; they might not be able to food them.I pushed those thoughts away and talked with people around me.
I have been meeting with them regularly for the past two months since we left the island. They are powerful and talented; they are also rich, and I have traded a lot of things with them.
"You are sure, you don't want it. This net will help you a lot in catching those oysters," said Alnid.
He is a shark beastman and, using the opportunity, selling the nets. Those red nets in his hand are powerful artifacts, but they won't be useful in catching ekari pearls as he claims to be.
He is also selling them far above their rate. Taking complete advantage of the opportunity.
"I would have, but I already have the net," I replied. "Mine is better," he said and went to other prospective buyers.
In a few minutes, he sold all the next.
"Attention everybody, the shield will be lowered in thirty seconds. You all have three hours to hunt for the pearls before you need to return," "Please remember, the ship will not stop for you. If you do not return in time," said the captain.
Everybody quieted down and focused on the shields.
The shields aren't strong. They are at their lowest power, and I could easily breach it, but it is forbidden. Nobody is allowed to get out of the ship without the captain's permission and breaching the shield is punishable.
Some did it and languished in their suites; they have not even been let out.
Finally, thirty seconds were over, and the shields lowered. As it did, I flew up along with hundreds of Sky Sovereigns.
I appeared in the sky and watched the massive ship the size of the town, before at the sea, which was calm, but it wouldn't be within a second.
Blop Blop Blop!
I had just thought that when the first person dived inside and a fraction of a second after hundreds of others dived in.
I didn't immediately, instead I looked at the endless seat. It is quite calming, and I wish, I could look at it for a few more minutes, but unfortunately, I couldn't.
Blop!
I signed before diving down and saw the beautiful undersea with thousands of Sky Sovereigns moving in search of the pearl oysters, spreading their soul sense far and wide.
Seeing that, a smile couldn't help but appear on my face.
My soul sense now will be one of thousands and there will be nothing special about it.
I spread my soul sense and from it began to release the soul waves that moved far and wide.
The ekari oysters are powerful with illusion and soul as their strength. The first challenge is to spot them. there are many talented people and they have already found some of them and gone for the pearl.
I moved slowly, till I started to get back my waves, creating the undersea map with the position of all the Sky Sovereigns and the creature.
Soon, I found the places I could go, but I moved toward the secluded one. Its best spot for me, a little dangerous, seeing the marine monsters there, which I won't be messing around, unless they come to mess with me.
I am quite powerful, now. Even if I wasn't able to deal with monsters or people who come for me, I could easily be able to defend against them, but I rather they didn't see me at all and thus covered myself in stealth.
The place I am going to is good, filled with oysters; there are many people, who are still searching for the oysters and haven't found any.
Thus, decided to follow those who are moving with the purpose.
These oysters are quite good at hiding; the only reason we have even found they are here is because of the Prime.
If not for him, we wouldn't have.
They are really making this memorable travel. At least once every week, there is something to hunt in the sea. After the island, I took part a couple of times; the most amazing had been the hunt for udus fish.
It is a very rare fish and really tasty. I had caught quite a lot of them and stored them carefully to preserve their flavor.
I am going to be eating them for a long time.
