I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 307 - 205: Beneath the Lava, the Blazing Striker (Double-Length)
[You have used the Talent of Hei’s Soul to control the shell of the Magma Stingray.]
[You have obtained a new shell.]
After acquiring the new shell, Rogel set aside the previous Yudona shell.
The shell will retain some signs of life for a while after losing Rogel’s control.
However, Rogel does not particularly care about the Yudona shell; he can just replace it if it’s gone. Several plunderers are still hung on Heisatan by him.
After taking control of the Magma Stingray in front, Rogel waved his hand and sent it into the Magma Sea below.
With a splash, the Magma Stingray clone plunged into the Magma Sea.
Rogel slowly descended onto the rock barrier below, then focused his attention on the Magma Stingray clone.
The body structure of the Magma Stingray is quite special.
It can withstand the scorching high-temperature magma and has a certain degree of perception in this turbid magma, though its vision is rather poor.
However, it’s sufficient to fulfill Rogel’s needs.
He began controlling the Magma Stingray clone to swim towards the depths of the Magma Sea.
The Magma Sea was a murky expanse, the eyes filled with dazzling orange-yellow.
The Magma Stingray wasn’t very fast.
Rogel could only observe around from the rock barrier while waiting.
This barrier isolating the Magma Sea from the seawater is quite long, though not a straight line, it extends as far as the eye can see.
It resembles a boundless black city wall.
In the sky above the Sea of Lava, the rising black smoke stained the clouds gray.
Rogel gazed into the distance and saw a small volcano in the distance, continuously emitting black smoke.
There must be many such volcanoes in the Sea of Lava.
After pondering for a moment, Rogel refocused his attention back on the Magma Stingray.
By now, the Magma Stingray had reached the bottom of the Sea of Lava.
This place seemed rather shallow.
After using the body of the Magma Stingray to sense the surrounding environment, Rogel began swimming along the bottom.
Soon enough, he found a small oval-shaped stone, glowing with a faint blue light.
[You found: Thermally Stable Stone ×1.]
Not bad, a good start, finding one so quickly.
Rogel manipulated the Magma Stingray to pick up the Thermally Stable Stone and place it on its back.
The skin on the back of the Magma Stingray has some controllable stickiness, often used to catch some prey in the Sea of Lava.
Now, Rogel could use it to carry the Thermally Stable Stone, saving frequent trips.
He then continued swimming along the bottom, searching for more Thermally Stable Stones.
[You found: Thermally Stable Stone ×1.]
[You found: Thermally Stable Stone ×1.]
[...]
There seemed to be quite a few Thermally Stable Stones at the bottom of the Sea of Lava. Rogel could find one almost every ten meters or so.
After finding a dozen or so, the Magma Stingray couldn’t hold anymore, so Rogel had it come up and unload.
Rogel collected the Thermally Stable Stones into the Item Inventory, then the Magma Stingray dived down again.
Continuing diligently to collect Thermally Stable Stones for Rogel.
After going back and forth three to four times, the number of Thermally Stable Stones Rogel carried was about forty.
However, he intended to continue collecting, as it’s always wise to prepare more.
Besides, he had not yet found the Thermally-Variable Mud that Tara mentioned, which is also a very important item.

[...]
As Rogel carefully gathered the Thermally Stable Stones,
an anomaly appeared in the perception of the Magma Stingray.
Rumble——
It seemed like something was colliding, making a dull sound.
However, Rogel frowned.
This sound didn’t feel right.
Clearly coming from the viscous Magma Sea, yet there was no sound of magma being stirred.
After pondering for a moment, Rogel had the Magma Stingray deliver the gathered Thermally Stable Stones back and then swam towards the source of the sound.
"Let me see what’s going on."
Rumble——
This sound occurred almost rhythmically every once in a while.
The nearer Rogel got, the louder this sound became.
Finally, when he manipulated the Magma Stingray to reach a place, the source of the sound revealed itself.
At the bottom of the Magma Sea, there was an invisible square shield, completely isolating the surrounding magma.
The front half of this square shield seemed to be a staircase, extending into the outer magma.
At the back of this square shield, there was a circular platform, resembling an arena.
In the center of this arena, a large humanoid construct with mechanisms on its body was continuously pounding on a rock in front of it.
[Arcane Construct – Blazing Striker]
[Type: Extraordinary Creation]
[Quality: Elite]
[Level: 28]
[Tier: Extraordinary]
[Explanation: Forged through a special arcane crafting process, with a body of solid black rockstar obsidian, and burning magma as its blood, the Blazing Striker is formed. Defeat it, and you will obtain the phase treasure hidden by some intentional individual!]
Wait a moment, phase treasure?
With a quick scan, Rogel’s eyes lit up, triggering the keywords.
Sure enough, after circling the shield for a detailed inspection, he found a key item.
A large treasure chest lay quietly behind the circular arena.
In the center of the treasure chest, there was a rust-colored mark.
Could this be the treasure Pailondo mentioned earlier?
Was he just lucky enough to stumble upon this by accident?
Rogel couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.
A rusty treasure chest... Hmm, it’s the lowest grade.
