Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 215 214: Don’t order! Happy New Year!

Dark Sea.

A mysterious sea shrouded in fog.

According to legend, countless treasures and dangers are hidden here.

The waves rolled and roared, as if telling ancient secrets.

The sky was thick with dark clouds, blocking out the sunlight, leaving only a gray gloom. The sea breeze howled, carrying a salty smell that made my cheeks hurt.

Ling Xiao stood at the bow, looking at the vast sea ahead, his eyes firm and focused.

He was wearing a dark blue robe and had an ancient long sword on his waist. The hilt of the sword was engraved with strange runes and emitted a faint light.

His hair was a little messy due to the sea breeze, but his eyes were as bright as stars, sparkling with curiosity and desire for the unknown.

"Ling Xiao, the Dark Sea is ahead. The legendary ghost ship is found in this sea area."

A deep voice came from behind him. It was his partner, a captain named Carl.

Carl is a tall and strong man, his face is full of traces of time, and there is a hint of worry in his eyes.

Ling Xiao turned around and smiled slightly: "Karl, I'm ready. No matter what dangers lie ahead, I will uncover the secret of the ghost ship."

Carl nodded, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. "You are a brave fellow, Ling Xiao. However, the Dark Sea is not so easy to deal with. The legendary ghost ship is said to be controlled by a powerful sea monster that will devour any ships that approach."

Ling Xiao tightened the sword at his waist, his eyes burning: "I will not back down. To find the truth, I must face all challenges."

At this moment, a strange singing voice suddenly came from the sea. The voice was low and melodious, as if it came from the distant seabed.

There is a kind of magic in the song that makes people fall into it unconsciously.

"It's the siren's song!"

Carl exclaimed and hurriedly ordered the crew to get ready.

Ling Xiao also felt the magic in the song. His body shook slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He took a deep breath, activated the magical power in his body, and wrapped himself in a layer of light blue light.

This layer of light shield can resist external magical attacks and also allow him to resist the sirens' singing to a certain extent.

"Everyone be careful, don't be misled by the singing!"

Ling Xiao shouted loudly.

The crew nodded one after another. They were all experienced sailors and knew that they had to keep a clear head in such a situation.

They gripped their weapons tightly and looked vigilantly at the surrounding sea.

As the singing grew louder, the fog on the sea became thicker.

The surrounding scene became blurred, as if the whole world was shrouded in a mysterious veil.

Ling Xiao frowned slightly. He knew that this was the prelude to the appearance of the ghost ship.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow slowly emerged from the fog. It was an old sailing ship, its hull was dilapidated and covered with seaweed and barnacles.

On the mast of the sailboat hung a tattered black canvas with a blood-red eye embroidered on it.

The ship floated on the sea, as if unaffected by any wind or waves.

"Ghost ship!"

Carl exclaimed, his voice trembling slightly.

Ling Xiao gripped the sword tightly, staring at the ghost ship with eyes as sharp as knives.

He could sense a powerful evil aura emanating from the ship, as if countless souls were trapped within it.

"Ready to fight!"

Ling Xiao shouted loudly.

The crew members picked up their weapons and looked at the ghost ship nervously.

They knew that this would be a life-or-death battle. The ghost ship slowly approached, and suddenly a group of figures appeared on the deck of the ship.

They were wearing tattered sailor uniforms, with strange smiles on their faces and a green light flashing in their eyes.

These are the undead sailors trapped on the ghost ship.

"How dare you, pathetic mortals, trespass into our territory!"

A low and eerie voice came from the ghost ship. It was the voice of the siren.

Ling Xiao gripped his sword tightly and shouted, "We are here to find the truth, Siren! Don't try to stop us!"

The siren let out a sinister laugh. "The truth? You mortals will never be able to uncover the truth. Today, you will all be buried in this dark sea!"

Following the siren's order, the undead sailors picked up their weapons and rushed towards Ling Xiao's ship.

Their movements were stiff, but incredibly fast, as if driven by an invisible force.

"attack!"

Ling Xiao shouted loudly and rushed towards the undead sailors first.

The long sword in his hand flashed with blue light, and every time he swung it, it would bring up sword energy and repel the undead sailors.

The crew members also brandished their weapons and engaged in a fierce battle with the undead sailors.

The battle was extremely fierce. Although the undead sailors moved stiffly, they were numerous and not afraid of pain. Even if they were cut, they would continue to fight.

Although the crew members were experienced, they seemed to be struggling in this situation.

Ling Xiao was extremely brave in the battle. His swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and every attack accurately hit the vital points of the undead sailors.

He had only one thought in his mind, which was to protect the crew and uncover the secret of the ghost ship.

Just as the battle was in full swing, the voice of the siren rang out again: "You mortals, you really don't know your own limitations!"

Along with the sound of the siren, a powerful magical force surged out from the ghost ship, forming black demonic energy that attacked the ship where Ling Xiao was.

These evil spirits are highly corrosive and once hit, they will cause fatal damage to the crew.

"careful!"

Ling Xiao shouted and swung his sword hurriedly, forming blue sword energy to disperse the evil energy.

However, the amount of demonic energy was too great, and Ling Xiao could not resist it alone.

The crew members were in trouble. They were entangled by evil spirits and their bodies gradually became stiff and unable to move.

"Ling Xiao, we can't hold on any longer!"

Carl shouted, a hint of desperation in his voice.

Ling Xiao's heart tightened. He knew that if this continued, all the crew members would die.

He had to find a way to break the Siren's magic. At this moment, he suddenly remembered something.

Before setting off, he had seen records about sirens in an ancient magic book.

The magical power of the siren comes from its soul eye. Once the soul eye is destroyed, the magical power of the siren will disappear.

"Karl, protect the crew. I'm going to find the Siren's Soul Eye!"

Ling Xiao shouted loudly.

Carl nodded. Although he knew that this mission was very dangerous, he also knew that it was their only hope.

Ling Xiao brandished his sword and rushed towards the ghost ship. With his magical power, he successfully broke through the encirclement of the undead sailors and came to the deck of the ghost ship.

There was an eerie atmosphere on the deck of the ghost ship, and there was silence all around, as if even the air had frozen.

Ling Xiao walked forward cautiously, his eyes fixed on the front, searching for the Siren's Soul Eye. Suddenly, a black figure flashed out of the darkness. It was the Siren, its eyes like two burning rubies, emitting an evil light.

"Pathetic mortal, do you think you can find my soul's eye?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in the siren's voice.

Ling Xiao gripped his sword tightly and stared at the Siren without fear: "I will definitely find your Soul Eye and break your magic!"

The siren let out a sinister laugh: "Then give it a try!"

Before he finished speaking, the mermaid's body suddenly turned into a black light and pounced towards Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao hurriedly swung his sword, forming blue sword energy to repel the mermaid's attack.

However, the speed of the siren was too fast, and Ling Xiao could only barely resist it.

Just when Ling Xiao was in a tough fight, he suddenly discovered that there was a gem emitting a faint green light on the mermaid's chest.

That is the Siren's Soul Eye!

"You are the one!"

Ling Xiao shouted loudly, swung his sword and stabbed at the Eye of Soul.

The siren seemed to have noticed Ling Xiao's intention. It let out an angry roar, and its body turned into a black light and pounced towards Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao successfully avoided the Siren's attack with his agility, and the sword in his hand accurately pierced the Eye of Soul.

"what!"

The siren let out a shrill scream, and its body suddenly became illusory, as if it was about to be torn apart.

With the Eye of Soul shattered, the Siren's magical power disappeared instantly.

The undead sailors on the ghost ship also turned into black smoke and dissipated into the air.

The fog in the entire sea area gradually dissipated, and the sunlight once again shone on the sea, illuminating this mysterious dark sea.

As the siren's screams gradually faded, the evil aura on the ghost ship also dissipated.

The originally dilapidated sailboat seemed to be given new life under the sunshine. The cracks on the hull gradually healed and the worn canvas became as new as new.

Ling Xiao stood on the deck, looking at all this, his heart filled with shock.

"This ship..."

Carl's voice came from behind him, his tone filled with awe, "It seems to have changed."

Ling Xiao nodded, his eyes fixed on the bow of the ship.

There, a giant eye is carved into an ancient wooden plank, where the Siren's Soul Eye once stood.

Now, the eye has disappeared, replaced by a faint blue light, as if speaking of some mysterious power.

"This ship may not be as evil as we thought."

Ling Xiao whispered, a hint of thought in his voice.

Carl walked forward and stood beside Ling Xiao, gazing at the sea in the distance: "You're right. Perhaps it was just controlled by the Siren. Now that the Siren is dead, this ship may lead us to find more secrets."

Ling Xiao nodded, his heart also full of anticipation.

He knew that this ghost ship must be hiding many unknown secrets, and these secrets might change the fate of the entire Dark Sea.

"Let's move on."

Ling Xiao said, his voice firm.

Carl nodded, turned back to the cockpit, and began to adjust the direction of the ship.

The ghost ship slowly sailed into the depths of the dark sea. The sunlight shone on the sea, making the waves sparkle, as if blessing their journey.

As the ghost ship moved forward, the fog on the sea gradually dissipated, revealing a clear view.

Ling Xiao stood at the bow, looking at the sea ahead, with a hint of expectation and vigilance in his eyes.

"Look over there!"

Karl's voice suddenly rang out, and he pointed his finger into the distance. Ling Xiao looked in the direction of his finger and saw an island appearing on the distant sea.

The island is covered with lush green forests, like a paradise.

However, Ling Xiao could feel that there was a mysterious aura emanating from this island.

"What is that place?"

Ling Xiao asked in a low voice, with a hint of doubt in his voice.

Carl shook his head. “I don’t know either. This place isn’t marked on the map of the Dark Sea. Perhaps this is an island that has never been discovered.”

Ling Xiao's eyes were fixed on the island, his heart full of curiosity.

He knew that this island must be hiding many secrets, and these secrets might bring a new turn for their journey.

"Let's take a closer look."

Ling Xiao said, his voice firm.

Carl nodded and began to adjust the direction of the boat, heading towards the island.

As the ghost ship approached, Ling Xiao could see the scene on the island more and more clearly.

It was a dense forest, and bursts of birdsong came from the woods, as if welcoming their arrival.

However, when the ghost ship approached the island, Ling Xiao suddenly felt a strong magical fluctuation.

This magical fluctuation carried a mysterious power, as if warning them not to get close.

"careful!"

Ling Xiao shouted loudly, with a hint of vigilance in his voice.

Carl also sensed this magical fluctuation, and a trace of worry appeared on his face: "This magical fluctuation is very powerful. We don't know what we will encounter."

Ling Xiao gripped the sword tightly, his eyes fixed on the island ahead.

He knew that they had to handle it carefully or they might be in danger.

At this moment, a powerful magical force surged out from the island, forming blue light curtains that surrounded the ghost ship.

This light curtain exuded powerful magical power, as if preventing them from approaching the island.

"What kind of magic is this?"

Carl exclaimed, a hint of panic in his voice.

Ling Xiao mobilized the magical power within his body, attempting to break through the light curtain. However, the light curtain was too powerful, and he was unable to break it. "This light curtain is a magical barrier protecting the island."

A clear voice suddenly came from the light curtain, with a hint of tenderness and mystery in the voice.

Ling Xiao and Karl looked at each other, a hint of surprise showing on their faces.

They knew that there must be some powerful force hidden behind this light curtain.

"who are you?"

Ling Xiao asked loudly, with a hint of vigilance in his voice.

"I am the guardian of this island. My name is Leah."

The voice sounded again, with a hint of a smile in her voice, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
