I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

In front of the big screen in Longguo, most of the audience were confused.

In the absence of teammates, this chosen one is too lazy to talk.

Only with the help of the experts and some players who have passed the game can the audience understand a little bit.

When the audience still didn't know why Zhang Yangqing took off the anklet from his colleague's body.

Zhang Yangqing put on the anklet and jumped into the sea.

A magical scene appeared. After he put on the anklet, his swimming speed was more than four times faster than before.

You know, the salvagers played by the Chosen Ones can swim faster in the water than ordinary people. This is the passive ability of the salvagers.

But they are far inferior to the fish in the deep sea.

When Zhang Yangqing puts on this anklet, it feels like having two thrusters installed on his legs.

The swimming speed of ordinary fish cannot compare to Zhang Yangqing's.

The moment he swam out of the water, Zhang Yangqing knew that the two things on his legs were definitely "divine artifact" level.

It's useless on land, but it's very effective in the sea.

But nothing is perfect. This thing also has a disadvantage, which is that it consumes a lot of physical energy when it is activated.

People who are not physically strong enough may become exhausted soon.

This may also be the main reason why the world of ghost stories would transform the bodies of the chosen ones.

The extraordinary ones may complain that they are being weakened, but the principle of the world of ghost stories is to enable ordinary chosen ones to survive.

This is why many chosen ones emphasize when teaching newcomers that if they want to survive in the world of ghost stories, they should try to judge from the perspective of ordinary people.

There are only a handful of people in the entire Blue Planet who can learn from Zhang Yangqing.

"No wonder this colleague dared to catch the mermaid. I can also understand why he was able to escape from the attack of the sea beast. If he had not been sold out by his teammates, and if he had not had this wound on his shoulder, he might have survived."

Zhang Yangqing analyzed the situation in his mind for a while.

The world of ghost stories is like this. Sometimes it’s not because of your own incompetence, but if your teammates force you to sell out, no one can survive.

Zhang Yangqing could even feel the despair of this colleague when he was exhausted.

"We are colleagues, brothers, please help us bury him."

Zhang Yangqing was pleased to receive this prop and expressed his gratitude to his colleague.

This way, the Dragon people would not leave his body exposed on the beach or be eaten by fish after his death, which was a way for them to show respect to the dead.

Including Zhang Yangqing, there were five people in total. They quickly dug a hole in the nearby land and buried the deceased salvor.

When returning to the salvage ship, the bearded man felt a little regretful. It would have been great if the salvager had not died.

This will be a great help to Zhang Yangqing.

Zhang Yangqing thought that might not be the case. Perhaps it would be better for the salvor to die.

Here, Zhang Yangqing was not cursing him to death, nor did he mean to disrespect the deceased. He was simply analyzing the pros and cons.

If this salvager didn't die, he would not be able to obtain the treasure that could accelerate underwater.

According to other intelligence, the salvager had some skills, but was extremely greedy.

Moreover, he has been betrayed by his teammates, so he probably doesn't trust his teammates in his heart.

He went into the water with Zhang Yangqing. It would have been fine if there were no problems, but if there was any danger, he would definitely sell Zhang Yangqing out.

The most important thing is that Zhang Yangqing’s speed is not as fast as his, so the outcome is predictable.

Based on these speculations, Zhang Yangqing still felt that it would be better for him to die.

But the same thing happened. Zhang Yangqing only thought about it in his heart and expressed regret verbally.

Otherwise, these indigenous people would think he was very cold-blooded.

Next, Zhang Yangqing began to analyze whether or not to catch the mermaid.

If the mermaid was caught, the end result would most likely be that this intermediate salvage ship would be attacked by powerful overlord-level sea beasts and sea creatures. The result would definitely be very tragic. It would be good if it could be like the shabby salvage ship that returned to the port. If it was directly sunk to the bottom, it would be a big trouble.

Zhang Yangqing actually has a special way of thinking, which is the theory of indirect causality.

The head of the Yarna region captured the mermaid, causing the entire Yarna region to sink to the bottom of the sea.

A fellow salvager was trying to catch a mermaid, but ended up dying and the salvage boat was damaged.

I released the mermaid yesterday and nothing happened.

Zhang Yangqing felt that the mermaid might be a symbol of disaster, a vicious cumulative cause and effect.

According to Taoism, it means breaking the balance of nature.

In this world, humans and sea creatures do not coexist peacefully, but they do not interfere with each other. This is a hidden big rule.

Anyone who easily destroys the balance of nature and violates this major rule is likely to be struck by disaster.

Zhang Yangqing in his prime was not afraid of this. Whether in the previous ghost stories or on Blue Star, his strength was enough to withstand the punishment of cause and effect.

But now it’s different. Zhang Yangqing has no strength at all and can only rely on his own judgment.

Then he has a lot to consider.

The best solution is the peaceful negotiation that Zhang Yangqing ruled out at the beginning, which is obviously no longer possible.

If I don't catch the mermaid, how will I know how to control the sea beasts?

In fact, Zhang Yangqing has already gained one benefit, which is the acceleration anklet.

Many viewers were thinking that if he left like this, Zhang Tianshi would definitely feel unwilling.

Now that you're here, the benefits are right here, and no one will be happy if you don't get them.

But Zhang Yangqing's idea was not that simple. He did not have the help of his teammates. In the following ghost story, he would have to face the weirdness that was hostile to the Chosen One. What was the use of relying on an escape prop alone?

You can survive, but you can't get out if you don't complete the mission.

The mermaid was quite easy to talk to yesterday. If she were here, perhaps we could negotiate.

However, Zhang Yangqing has already let her go. In the vast ocean, it is difficult to encounter him unless a special event is triggered.

And this incident must be related to the 'Dragon Palace' and the 'Four Dragon Kings'.

No one is perfect, and Zhang Yangqing is not omnipotent either. He can only speculate based on the existing intelligence. Information like this is not given until later, and he has no way of guessing it in advance.

Zhang Yangqing didn't have the incredible luck to encounter a mermaid in distress nearby.

After thinking it over again and again, he decided to suspend the second side quest as well.

Forcibly salvaging the mermaid is definitely not a good option, and it is difficult to communicate, so there is no need to waste time here.

The salvage ship headed towards the location of today's main mission.

After another hour of sailing, it was already 12:17 in the middle of the night. The night wind began to grow colder, and Zhang Yangqing was the last chosen one to arrive at the mission point.

As soon as he arrived in this area, Zhang Yangqing felt "familiar".

A sea area shrouded in thick black air quietly appeared before everyone's eyes.

The sea surface was no longer calm, as if it was stirred by an invisible force, causing ripples to appear, and the black gas was like a living thing, shuttling between the waves, making low and strange whimpers.

It's as if some strange creature is hiding in it.

As the ship slowly approached the cursed sea, an indescribable fear began to spread in the hearts of the crew.

They looked at each other, anxiety and fear flashing in their eyes.

This is an area where even luxury cruise ships have sunk. Can my mid-level salvage ship withstand it?
When the ship finally stopped in this sea area, the silence around was broken by a sudden slight collision sound.

The sound came right around the salvage ship, as if something was hitting the salvage ship, making people feel creepy.

The crew members looked at each other, and the anxiety in their hearts reached its peak in an instant.
