Transmigrated as a Ghost-Chapter 806 806 A Quick Dip In The Ocean

Racing over the surface of the water, Marcus and Mrazivy sped towards the wall that surrounded the Chelmer Resort.

If they had simply stayed on the ship, they would have just been sitting around doing nothing and had decided instead to get in some early exploration for a couple hours before it was their time to disembark.

"Wow, the water here really is clear, and devoid of many dangerous creatures. I have not seen anything over level eight in these waters and everything seems mostly harmless." Mrazivy said, having been scanning the area as they flew.

The water where they currently were was around two hundred feet deep, but crystal clear and easy enough for even a normal person to see the bottom. And with their enhanced vision the water did not even act as an obstruction at all.

Along the way they had passed several small coral deposits which were home to all manner of small colorful fish and the most dangerous thing they had seen were some sea urchins that were grouped together. Yet so long as no one attempted to grab them or accidentally stepped on them they were no threat at all.

It actually reminded Marcus a fair bit of the oceans on Earth which while having their own dangers were normally safe enough to swim in.

However, while a fair few species of fish that Marcus saw were actually the same as from earth, he did spot plenty that he had never even heard of before.

'Wait, a decapus!?'

Having spotted a well camouflaged creature Marcus apprised it and found that its species was called a decapus.

It looked remarkably like an octopus but had ten limbs instead of eight.

'Wow it has a slew of race abilities, and even at only level six it might be a bit dangerous with its neuro toxin. If this thing was a higher level and after evolving a couple of times, it could become pretty deadly.' Marcus thought, imagining one that was several hundred feet long and could drag ships down into the ocean depths with ease.

Soon they had made it all the way to the impressive white stone wall that stretched around the islands that made up the resort.

Along it at intervals of around three hundred meters were guard stations that were keeping a lookout for any dangerous creatures trying to break through.

On occasion powerful beasts or monsters had been known to try and bust down a section of the wall, but apparently even though the resort was over a century old it had never once been breached. Likely because any entity strong enough to do so was smart enough not to attack such a well protected place.

"Oh, looks like we have garnered some befuddled gazes." Mrazivy said, pointing up at the guards that had caught sight of them.

Nevertheless, they were not really worried about being spotted here.

While it was not exactly prompted, guests were allowed to come all the way up to the wall and these guards had no way of knowing that Marcus and Mrazivy had not formally checked in yet.

So, while it was rare to see two people flying about over the surface of the water, the guards correctly figured that they were just some of the rare high-level guests that could fly.

"Oh, it looks like there is an old recked ship down there. Want to go check it out?" Mrazivy said spotting an old wooden vessel that had long ago sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

However, while it may have appeared to be a vessel that just randomly went down in this area Marcus could tell that was not the case.

It was clear from a glance that the wood had not been enchanted and that this ship had been purposefully placed here.

'I suppose that this is just one more attraction that the resort has created. It is a bit far out though, so I doubt many actually come out and explore it. There are probably other staged sunken ships throughout the area.' Marcus thought, accurately guessing the ship's origin.

Still, while it had been planted there, it would be interesting to swim through the wreckage of a sunken ship and for the first time, they dropped into the water. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

Luckily, with Marcus' Boots of the Deep he was not slowed down at all and could move through the water, freely, and Mrazivy had prepared a magic bracelet that allowed her to breathe underwater and lessen the pressure she would feel as they descended deeper.

Going straight down which normally would have caused a normal person extreme distress they quickly reached the sunken ship that was resting on the floor of the ocean around forty-five feet below the surface.

'It looks like we can get in through here.' Marcus said to Mrazivy with telepathy as he opened a hatch on top of the ship.

There were a number of holes in its hull but none of them were large enough for them to enter and they had needed to locate a normal entrance.

Though they could have of course simply punched a hole large enough for them to enter. But they did not want to damage the structural integrity of the ship so they refrained from doing so.

Once inside they found that everything was pretty dark with only the faintest bit of light reaching in through the holes pepper throughout the ship

Thankfully they both had darkvision and did not have any problem navigating in the dark.

Going through the ship they found that it looked infected by all of the growth that was going on inside it.

All manner of stationary creatures had attached to the ship, including sea sponges, sea anemones, and seaweed just to name a few.

It was a dazzling sight to see, and Marcus was surprised by the wide range of colors that he was able to see which were a far cry from anything eh had ever seen on Earth.

'Everything is so vibrant. Even the reefs I went to in Australia did not have this many different colors.' Marcus thought as he excitedly looked around.

And among the seaweed, sea sponges, and sea anemones were all manner of fish.

Most of them were pretty small as there were not many large openings into the ship, but a few sizable fish that were definitely the apex predators of the area patrolled around. Though they became quite frantic when they saw Marcus and Mrazivy who were bigger than them. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

'Look Marcus! Oysters!' Mrazivy said excitedly.

Following her finger Marcus did indeed find that there was a cluster of five oysters in the same area hidden in a compartment that was slightly open.

They were bigger than the ones he was used to seeing on Earth by about fifty percent and they were a much brighter color.

Except, despite it seeming to make them more noticeable, this was actually a part of a race ability they had that confused anything that would look at them and make it hard to focus.

Of course, this power did not do anything to Marcus and Mrazivy since their levels were many times higher than any of these oysters that were all in the single digits.

'I wonder if we might be able to find some pearls in them. Want to crack them open and check?' Mrazivy asked, her enthusiasm clear on her smiling face.

'No, we should leave them for now. As they are living creatures, we cannot store in our item boxes while they are alive and while searching for pearls would be fun, I do not just want to waste them and leave their bodies scattered about. I think it would be more fruitful if we gathered a large amount after we have our room and them prepare them as a meal while checking for pearls.' Marcus suggested.

Nodding her head, Mrazivy looked a little sad not to be popping the oysters open immediately but refrained in the face of Marcus' sound logic.

After that the two of them contoured to explore the sunken ship and take in the natural beauty of all the wildlife that had made the place their homes.

'I suppose that we should head back soon. We got to get a sneak peak at what awaits us once we have settled in and can truly explore this place.' Marcus said once they had finished exploring the ship.

They had been at it for about an hour and a half to look through every nook and cranny and it would soon be their time to disembark.

'Sure, let us head back. The sooner we get checked in, the sooner we can get back to exploring the ocean.' Mrazivy said, already enamored by the charms of the water.

'Don't get too absorbed in just the ocean. The islands themselves are supposed to be beautiful as well. We need to make sure to properly explore them as well.' Marcus said as Mrazivy rushed to the surface.
