The lower he went, the less light there was and the poorer his vision became. If it wasn't for the fact that he was in his seal form, he probably wouldn't have been able to see anything.
He would encounter monsters every now and then under the water, but they were usually under level 50. This was because the area wasn't too far away from the shore.
After he dived down for another 10 minutes, Lu Li stopped.
There were no sunken ships in this area and there weren't any underwater islands either. He was in the wrong place.
Although he had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. This didn't stop him from resurfacing and searching elsewhere though.
He needed to bring out his boat, not only because it travelled faster but also because it was safer. Monsters underwater usually didn't actively attack ships or boats either, with some exceptions.
He tried two places without gaining anything, but he had some luck during his third dive.
A giant dark shadow lurked beneath the waters, looking like a giant monster from afar. Lu Li was overjoyed and quickly swam towards it; this had to be the underwater island.
The closer he swam to the island, the more densely packed the monsters became. Most of them were Murlocs, but Lu Li even saw a few semi Bosses. However, he had no intentions of approaching them at all.
He figured out the location of the island and moved towards the northwest side. As he had anticipated, he found the remains of an old ship amongst the reef.
There couldn't be anything remaining in this sunken ship since it was too broken. Lu Li was looking for an Oak Galleon.
If he remembered correctly, it would be 'Mog'Lun' of the Goblins. It was a ship that exported products between two continents, earning profit from the great price difference. The Mog'Lun family had earned plenty from this ship and quickly became famous amongst the merchants.
Unfortunately, the Mog'Lun steered itself into the reef when it being chased by the pirates and sunk.
The property of the Mog'Lun family then became history.
"Damn!"
Lu Li halted and quickly changed out of his seal form, then drank an Elixir of Water Breathing.
Ghost Sailors!
He had not been cautious enough. He didn't expect to run into a monster and the reef had blocked his vision. It was too late for him to dodge it now.
Ghost type monsters had an ability to detect Stealth and these level 50 monsters definitely saw Lu Li coming.
The scimitar of the Ghost Sailor slit across Lu Li's stomach and his blood began to spill. Lu Li didn't hesitate to stab his dagger into his opponent's chest either.
This was a level 50 elite monster with around 5000 health, so it wasn't a problem for Lu Li to take him down. What was more troublesome was that Lu Li's blood was beginning to spread into the water, attracting the Murlocs. He hastily chugged down a healing potion and sped away.
If he had any group spells, fighting monsters under water would be worth it. At the very least, he wouldn't have to keep running after he attracted monsters.
Unfortunately, he wasn't capable of wiping out monsters under water, so if it wasn't necessary, he would rather walk a longer distance than fight.
Gradually, he got closer to the sunken ship.
The closer he approached, the more Ghost Sailors he saw. The battle back then must've been a nightmare.
Lu Li didn't plan to walk in from the entrance; it was too much work to fight his way in. He smashed a hole in the ship and went in through the cabins, then picked the lock of the first room that he found.
Within the room were some daily items and a box.
Sailor's Storage Box: Within the box are the Sailor's private belongings. Private belongings are personal and should remain untouched. Requires Level 3 Lock Picking to open.
Lu Li rubbed his hands under water and used Unlock on the box.
Black mist began to swarm out from the box and a scimitar appeared even before the mist had formed its shape. The scimitar hacked right toward Lu Li, but was met with a block from his Daggers. Lu Li was prepared this time.
"Private belongings are personal and should remain untouched."
This reminded Thieves that opening the box came with a risk.
This was a Ghost Sailor who was guarding his things even after his death. It was a shame that he couldn't overpower the intruder.
The battle finished within a few rounds.
Lu Li didn't stop here either and proceeded into the next room.
