Chapter 1047: Hydro Cannons
BOOM!
BOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOM!
Countless hydro cannons were fired repeatedly in concession at the Phantasm Sea.
Each hydro cannon resulted in the death of numerous sea monsters that attempted to attack the gold ranked warship.
"Keep coming. I have 6 cannons ready at all times." Xu Feng sneered coldly when he noticed the sea monsters were trying to swarm at him with numbers.
Although the 6 cannons were placed in different areas, he could easily manipulate and activate them in the control room.
There was no need for him to personally make his way toward any of the cannons to physically fire them.
The only unfortunate thing was that the loot drop had turned somewhat disappointing.
"I knew the first blueprint must have been the sweet to bait and lure me in." Xu Feng wasn’t disheartened by the lack of valuable items being dropped by the sea monsters.
After all, their values were still very high and lots of NPC merchants would gladly purchase them at an expensive price.
The supply was limited, or to be more precise, nearly impossible to be found at the market. But the demand remained at an all-time high, granted that not everyone had access to the Phantasm Sea.
One must qualify to even set sail here, and Chao Shen was practically the guardian that blocked any unqualified people from entering.
Additionally, Xu Feng’s level had been increasing steadily and went to level 44 by now.
Some might call it bogus or even unfair for how fast he was leveling up. But then, once they realized the monsters he had been killing were all in the high 50s and 60s, they would have kept their mouths shut.
Though to be fair, if it weren’t for the prowess of the hydro cannons, then Xu Feng wouldn’t have even dared to lure many sea monsters to target him.
Who would dare to face so many sea monsters in their home ground?
Had his warship been silver ranked or even bronze ranked, then he would have needed to avoid the sea monsters for as long as possible.
The difference in the power between the ranked warships was extremely drastic.
"I’ve been sailing for almost an hour by now. How come the map still didn’t show any clue for the Abyssal Tide Beacons?" Xu Feng furrowed his brows and frowned.
While it was an amazing feeling to kill so many high level sea monsters, loot them, and have his level increased, he had not once forgotten his objective.
He needed to discover 3 Abyssal Tide Beacons that were scattered across the Phantasm Sea. Additionally, he needed to find the items and the blueprint that enabled him to craft the Siren’s Compass.
The Siren’s Compass was a main factor for him to search Shade Island.
After all, the Phantasm Map only allowed him to sail in the sea safely, but it didn’t grant him much accuracy to precisely locate Shade Island.
"How rare is the drop rate for the Siren’s Compass blueprint?" Xu Feng stroked his chin. It was a good thing that there was no time limit on the mission. Otherwise, he would have been filled with headaches and time crunch.
BEEP! BEEP!
As soon as he went into contemplation, loud beeping sounds echoed in the control room.
Swiftly, Xu Feng snapped out of his daze and checked on the radar which was connected to the Phantasm Map.
"Hmm, a new species." Intrigued, Xu Feng realized it was another type of sea monster that had been attracted to his warship. As he quickly identified the sea monster, his eyes brightened.
—
Sea Monster: Lumigloom Lanternfish
Level Range: 55-63
Glows with a haunting light in total darkness. Appears harmless, until it charges in swarms and emits disorienting pulses.
Abilities: Flash Blind, Depth Scatter, Swarm Call

This new species encountered was actually recorded in the Phantasm Map.𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Hence, it wasn’t technically new. But it was definitely the first time Xu Feng had stumbled across one in the sea.
Regardless of whether it was his first time encountering it or not, Xu Feng still maintained the same protocol.
He angled all the available cannons to target the Lumigloom Lanternfish.
Since the ammo was unlimited, he would definitely be a fool to try to use only one cannon and not all the ones he could use.
Fear not being a bit wasteful, but fear that the enemy wouldn’t be eliminated immediately.
The warship he resided on was his only territory and safe zone.
If he were to save some trouble in managing the cannons and resulted in his warship being damaged, then he would definitely be in a lot more trouble than previously.
As the cannon started to absorb a large chunk of the seawater, it then made a churning sound as it fired outward.
BOOOM!
Once again, a loud explosion sound echoed throughout the lonely sea. The seawater also made a large impact upon receiving the hydro cannon attack.
Nevertheless, the penetration was strong and fierce.
In the blink of an eye, the Lumigloom Lanternfish was bombarded to nonexistent.
An increase of 15% in experience points was soon given to Xu Feng.
Granted that it was only one monster, 15% was already a lot. But some of the percentage contributed to a new discovery of monsters. This was something Xu Feng had figured out when he committed quite the massacre in the sea with his hydro cannons alone.
Apparently, the first kill in any new species offered a large chunk of experience points.
But afterward, if he killed the same species, the experience points wouldn’t be a lot.
Essentially, the more species he killed that were the same, the lower the amount of experience points received.
Nevertheless, that didn’t affect Xu Feng’s mood one bit because the Phantasm Sea was very large and filled with many different sea monsters.
As Xu Feng sailed his ship to collect the loot drop, his face suddenly twitched.
A drop loot item named Gloomlight Extract was found.
"This is actually a component for the Siren’s Compass?" Xu Feng was taken by surprise as he got a hold of the extract.
