Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 139, Section 138: [Rare] - Deep Sea Sacrificial Book

The situation just now was too bizarre; Ling Xiao almost couldn't save himself.

In the heat of the moment, they only had time to rescue the Hidden Dream Squad.

It was only when I came to my senses that I realized the blade was still inside the house.

After being branded with the "Deep Dive Royal Family" origination, some unfamiliar knowledge that was forcibly stuffed into his mind during the vision transformed into abilities that could be recognized and learned.

This "knowledge" eventually and quite strangely transformed from fiction into reality.

It coalesced into a magic book with a dark blue cover and contents written entirely in an unknown script.

[Unter-Zee Kulten - The Book of Deep Sea Ritual (Incomplete Reprint)]

At this moment.

It existed between illusion and reality, shimmering faintly in Ling Xiao's mind as he casually flipped through it.

The panel identifies it as a rare, dark purple [Rare] grade equipment!

The last time Ling Xiao encountered a [Rare]-level item was when he used his identity as a food delivery guy in the City of Frenzied Desire to get several days' worth of free "yellow vests" from the landlady.

But it was never his.

Including the strange book he has now acquired, his only other rare item is still that mysterious egg waiting to be revived.

The knowledge contained in the "Deep Sea Ritual Book" is boundless.

At least for now, Ling Xiao is far from reaching the end of the story.

However, he had a vague premonition:

If one's tracing back to the source reaches the final stage, becoming a "pure-blooded" deep-sea royal.

Then this [Rare] level equipment will most likely submit to you, and may even actively unleash its power.

To manipulate and play with oneself in various ways.

But at that time, was I still myself?

Lingxiao pursues power.

Because at this point, his fighting power is no longer a tool for his revenge.

So many people below hope that he will continue to be strong, and many people in the region regard him and Qi Heng as role models.

We've reached this position.

If Ling Xiao doesn't want to die, he must continue to increase his combat power, and that's all he can do!

However, he was not so obsessed with power, especially this kind of power with great hidden dangers, that he would become inhuman for it.

of course.

He may fear this kind of taboo elevation, but it's best to have it!

To avoid a future encounter with a formidable enemy like the Dreadnought, leaving one unable to turn the tide in a time of crisis and only able to die with regret...

That's absolutely infuriating...

Anyway, the strange things on his body are getting more and more terrifying.

Oh shit!

You like coming?!

Then let's start raising the Gu on our bodies!

But since we're already here...

I'll borrow your strength for now...

……

Even though Ling Xiao had already begun his deep-sea transformation, he didn't want to touch the statue inside the room anymore.

Letting others in would be tantamount to giving them away.

Then there's only one way.

He uttered a few strange syllables.

A deep, dark blue light welled up in the depths of Ling Xiao's eyes, and the humidity in the air around him rose steadily.

The Homecoming Ship drifted on the dark sea for countless years, seemingly on the verge of sinking.

The power of the Dark Sea has thoroughly eroded it.

Ling Xiao, who now possesses the bloodline of the Deep Sea Royal Family, clearly senses the external forces he can draw upon.

Countless water droplets seeped out and fell from the cracks in the wooden planks.

Like a curtain of rain, it gathered at his feet and swelled into a vibrant mass.

And that's not the end.

The water ball seemed to be given "life" by the spell in the magic book, transforming into a small "fish frog".

Driven by Ling Xiao's thoughts.

The fish-frog squeezed through the slightly ajar door and, once it regained its form, hopped and skipped toward the broken sword blade.

With the help of the Dark Sea's power, Ling Xiao's spatial perception was greatly expanded, allowing him to clearly capture the statue.

He immediately withdrew his senses from the vicinity, leaving a "vacuum" zone to form there.

He might have fun, but he didn't want to experience another vision-induced brainwashing.

Fortunately, there weren't too many unexpected incidents.

The strangely shaped fish-frog successfully completed its mission.

The final push to leave the gate caused the sword to be thrust out vertically, but it too lost its life force, turning into a puddle of water that scattered and disappeared on the spot.

This amazing scene left everyone looking at each other in astonishment.

However, Ling Xiao's prestige has now made the Hidden Dream Squad afraid to say anything more.

No need to think of any excuses, I'm quite happy to have some peace and quiet.

"Come on, let's get out of here first."

After handing the longest, last section of the sword blade to Iron Hammer Sister, Ling Xiao gave a solemn order.

Two teams of ten people each.

They were soon moved to a cabin that had been explored and was deemed relatively safe.

With Ling Xiao's encouraging gaze, Iron Hammer Sister took out three broken sword sections.

After connecting them with gold thread, a golden light suddenly flashed in the additional content of this mission!

There is a play!

These are the first mate's belongings!

The fate of this important figure on the Homecoming ship has already been revealed.

His death has already been announced in the mission log.

The rapier he always carried was shattered like this; it must have been a fierce battle before his death…

After the shattered blades were put back together, the rapier briefly regained its former glory!

With the top-notch craftswoman Iron Hammer Sister revitalizing it, the sword reciprocated by pointing everyone in a new direction.

We have enough blades.

The place it longs to go is most likely the place where its master perished...

"Brother Xiao,"

Everyone was smart enough to see that this was a hidden feature that came with completing the series of quests.

Simply complete the task to receive additional rewards at checkout!

So before Ling Xiao and the others were about to set off, Yin Meng called out to Ling Xiao.

He said sincerely, "We will never forget your great kindness."

"I'm already lucky to be alive, thanks to you all. How could I possibly follow behind and try to get some rewards?"

Yinmeng smiled sheepishly and took out five pendants, handing them to Lingxiao.

"This is a protective talisman I specially made; it can effectively resist spiritual erosion and attacks."

"The quantity wasn't large, but the effect was decent; consider it a token of our gratitude!"

"Wow! It's even a high-quality grade!?"

Qi Heng clicked his tongue in amazement, but he immediately stabbed him in the back again.

"But you guys should be wearing these things too, right? And with your protective domain activated, how did you still get hit?"

Qi Heng, also an orphan, has always been quite direct, unlike the reserved and silent Ling Xiao.

He knows the virtues of gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, and humility, but he doesn't want to understand them.

After they met through the survival game, even Ye Zhanqing dared to call her "Big Sister" repeatedly.

He has always been outspoken and his main motto is to tell the truth.

Don't keep it bottled up inside!

After hearing this, Yinmeng smiled bitterly and sighed with shame.

"That's why I admire you all so much, especially Brother Xiao!"

"Only by experiencing it firsthand can you understand how terrifying that thing is!"

"If it weren't for the protective talismans I made in advance to provide extra cushioning, how could I have held on until you found me..."

"Alright, just learn from the past."

After a simple test, Ling Xiao distributed the talismans.

He subtly elbowed Qi Heng, signaling him to shut up.

"If you don't want to go, then you can continue your own exploration! If anything happens, send a message; keeping in touch is crucial in this mysterious realm."

"Hmm! Thanks for reminding me!"

……

"Brother Meng, wasn't that Xiao a bit too rude? And what's with that kitchen knife thing, why is he so arrogant?"

After the two groups went their separate ways and walked away, one of the members of the Hidden Dream team was somewhat resentful.

His soul attributes are also quite strong, and his talent is also decent.

Therefore, Ling Xiao openly tested the talisman after obtaining it, and he could clearly sense it!

As one of the top LV20 explorers in the entire region, it's impossible not to have a bit of arrogance.

He was initially very grateful for Xiao's rescue.

But the other party inspected the goods in front of them, not even bothering to hide them, which really made them feel dissatisfied.

"If you ask me, only the Owls are somewhat good on that team!"

The team members saw that Yin Meng neither stopped them nor turned around, but simply led the way forward on her own.

The flame he was stirring in his heart had also grown considerably.

"And it's most likely just taking advantage of our misfortune! That statue is probably a mental trap; its power diminishes significantly after it binds the first few who get close..."

The latest novel is first published here!

"That's how that owl managed to break the deadlock all by himself. Looks like he gained quite a bit of benefit!"

"Besides..."

hum-

Snapped!

The sudden, unexpected mental shock was followed by a lightning-fast slap.

It slammed solidly into the man's cheek!

He was so disoriented from the beating that he stumbled and crashed into the bulkhead next to him!

The other three shuddered, instinctively rushing forward to help, but were stunned into silence by the unprecedented rage on Yin Meng's face as she turned around.

They had never seen Meng Ge show such a furious expression before.

In an instant, even the talkative person who had hurriedly gotten up was caught up in the chaos.

Except for Yinmeng, the rest of the Hidden Dream Squad stood obediently, their faces filled with bewilderment.

"You all need to remember this!"

He stared at his four teammates and said, slowly and deliberately, "The kindness of others is remembered for a thousand years!"

"Your lives, including mine, were all saved by others!"

The sharp gaze pressed down on the man so much that he didn't even dare to lift his head.

Yinmeng said in a deep voice, "The most crucial thing is that a person can be bad, but they absolutely cannot be stupid!"

"I hate those stupid people who have brains but don't use them! Do they really think their pitiful limited understanding can comprehend everything?"

"Ha... He was just pulled back from the brink of death, and now he's already thinking about the good he did for him."

"That's fucking stupid and wicked!"

After venting his anger, he finally explained with a hint of disappointment, "Inspecting the goods on-site isn't because we're worried, but to put our minds at ease."

"If I sell you a few AK47s, the best way to show my appreciation is by firing a couple of magazines right here and now, right?"

"You lot, you all look quite old, yet you can't even understand this subtle meaning as well as a young person!"

"Cast away your laughable pride! You all know how powerful I am! But I don't believe you can't sense the difference between me and Xiao!"

"Being inferior to others is not a disgrace! Being stronger than others should not be a reason to bully others!"

"This time we didn't embarrass ourselves in front of others, so we can use this time to adjust our mindset privately."

"Anyone who dares to harbor malicious thoughts or make foolish remarks again will be the first to be dealt with!"

The group lowered their heads in shame.

In fact, the reason is very simple.

But those involved are often blinded by their own perspective, especially those who have long been detached from actual business transactions and have been living a life of luxury.

These are the top combatants, and they have always held a very high status.

It's inevitable that there's some arrogance and complacency.

Fortunately, Yinmeng's intervention at the airport served as a timely intervention to stop this trend.

……

Ling Xiao, who was explicitly acknowledged as stronger by the strongest player in the region, was having Iron Hammer Sister re-examine the five talismans.

One must always be vigilant to prevent others from being unaware of one's intentions.

In addition, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise!

Making a statement on the spot is one thing, but re-examining it privately is another.

What is this so-called "face"?

Nothing is more important than life!

"No problem, Brother Xiao!"

After examining him, Hammer Sister said, "That Hidden Dream was fairly honest; he was clean-cut and didn't try anything funny!"

"That's fine! Then put it on!"

Ling Xiao laughed, "Getting a fine tool for free is such a great extra benefit!"

Not long after.

Following the directions, the group arrived at a cabin located on a higher level.

Judging from the length of the keel and the distribution of the masts, the Homecoming was a relatively mature long-distance sailing ship.

The top floor is an open-air bridge, and right below it is the captain's cabin.

The first mate, second mate, and other lower-level leaders live on a lower "floor" than where Ling Xiao and others are currently located.

No one spoke.

Qi Heng and the others all focused their attention on Ling Xiao's back.

The latter stood in front of the door, silently observing everything inside.

The first mate's quarters were neither too big nor too small.

He's somewhat of a leader, so he has the right to live alone.

However, it wasn't the biggest one, so the furnishings and decorations inside weren't particularly luxurious.

The scene is now a mess, and it's impossible to discern any specific details.

Inside the cabin.

The only relatively clean place was a table and chairs.

A figure sat quietly in a chair, swaying gently with the rise and fall of the waves.

Lingxiao's senses were extended and expanded with the help of the dark sea currents, and when he touched that person, it also caused an unusual change.

"Hmm...hmm...is it time again...?"

The first mate looked up and mumbled something unintelligible.

Ling Xiao could understand it, but after silently repeating it, he didn't know how to pronounce it.

This language seems different from the incantations in the [Deep Sea Ritual Book]...

The first mate was initially puzzled by the lack of a response.

Then, as if sensing something, it slowly stood up, supporting itself on the table.

He turned around.

Those swollen fish eyes seemed to pierce through the door, staring directly at Ling Xiao!

"Heh...hehehe..."

It emitted a series of rapid, excited low chirps from its mouthparts.

"I can feel it... I can feel you brought it! Hehe!"

There were no unusual changes.

Because it was a key target of surveillance, it had already undergone deep-sea transformation, becoming a complete dark sea monster.

The belongings were right outside the door! A familiar yet different aura lingered, held back!

All of this was shrouded in mystery, but the first mate didn't want to think about it anymore...

The idea he had kept hidden deep in his heart finally had a chance to come true.

How could this not drive him crazy?!

bring it on……

come on!

No matter who you are, no matter what you are going to do.

Let me die as a human being!

If you're not as skilled as me, then dying in my mouth would be a favor.

"Cough...cough cough!"

The first mate, who had been rushing towards them, stopped in his tracks.

The door panel was not shattered by its massive, dark green muscles.

Because before that, a being outside the door had activated the power of the Dark Sea using a clan secret technique that terrified it.

Several streams of water, with an unprecedented speed and scale, tightly bound its limbs!

Even though the first mate of the Deepsea was already able to borrow a trace of the Dark Sea's power.

But compared to that, it's like comparing pee to a waterfall!

Who is standing outside the door?!

Aren't the Deep Ones who have defected to us the greatest terror on the Homecoming?!
