Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 140, page 139: Shark Dagger! I'll take on ten of them!

splat—

The first mate flew back at an even faster speed than he had come, crashing heavily into the bulkhead.

Dark green blood spurted from its mouthparts, and several mutated fangs broke off and flew out.

The obscure, mocking murmur stirred up surging streams of water.

These are all water droplets from the Dark Sea.

With the [Azure Wave Domain], Ling Xiao's control and understanding of water is in no way inferior to those of elemental professionals!

But with the arrival of the Homecoming, his ability to control water was greatly weakened!

the reason is simple:

The water in the Dark Sea is no ordinary water!

The raindrops in the torrential rain version also have anomalies, but the pollution they contain is negligible to them.

The Dark Sea is even more extraordinary!

Ling Xiao was initially unclear about the effects of the mixed-up elements.

After tracing his lineage back to the source and acquiring the bloodline of the [Deep Sea Royal Family], he understood.

Or.

Using this layer of skin as cover, they successfully glimpsed the true face of the Dark Sea!

Besides the extremely high concentration of water elements, every drop of water in the Dark Sea is filled with pollution!

The source of this pollution is unknown.

From the Book of Deep Sea Sacrifices, he learned that this pollution was classified as a novel element—Darkness!

Unlike common elements, "darkness" is more like a representation of a concept.

Ling Xiao also had a vague idea about its origin.

Most of them come from the stars...

Named after an element, the Dark Element also possesses extremely powerful spiritual energy.

But for ordinary creatures, such as humans.

Its outward manifestation is undoubtedly that it is "highly poisonous"!

Approaching the Dark Sea inevitably leads to corruption!

To put it simply, it's like high and low concentrations.

The human body is quite averse to dark elements.

However, the concentration of dark elements around the Dark Sea is far beyond what ordinary "cell membranes" can block.

So the crew of the Homecoming ship transformed into monsters...

The root cause is that they came to the Dark Sea, a place they shouldn't have been...

Another golden light flashed in the taskbar.

As the exploration of Lingxiao progressed rapidly, the truth about the Homecoming Ship was soon to be revealed.

The Deep One, which he had crippled with a single punch, was now oozing pus from its body, undergoing the transformation before its final stand.

The first mate was confused.

He just wanted to go home, which is why he slowly, slowly turned into this horrible state...

Those fish-men—no, deep-diving beings—told him that if he wanted to leave this sea, he could only become like them…

Only the Dark Sea would accept him, embrace him, and let him leave...

But they deceived themselves...

After gradually transforming into a Deep One, one can indeed move freely in the Dark Sea.

It's just me...

Suddenly it dawned on me that this is my home.

Am I already a Deep Diver?

I'm already a Deepsea diver...

boo boo-

Foul-smelling pus spread throughout his body, forming large lumps under the first mate's skin.

It was originally somewhat human-shaped.

The figure that has now slid down the wall is no longer recognizable as human.

Its robust limbs make it look more like a frog, and even its face has completely "melted."

The dark green flesh twitched and piled up, forming a fish face with bulging, round pupils.

"Die!!"

As the first mate looked at the "alien beings" who had come to invade his home, a final thought flashed through his mind.

When it came out of his mouth, all that came out was a strange and hoarse growl!

But Ling Xiao understood.

Because he's no longer human...

So he opened his arms, and a cold wind slowly surged around him!

The Homecoming Ship has been adrift for many years, and there is moisture everywhere in the cabin.

At this moment, summoned by his noble royal bloodline, the power of the Dark Sea is at his disposal!

The water that had been flowing towards it was now being drawn by the first mate's angry roar.

The unfamiliar and profound incantation echoed in Ling Xiao's mind and then stopped abruptly, and then they all rushed to his side!

Dark Element Convergence!

A jet-black "water ball" was charging in his loosely clenched palm!

Then, with the forward pushing motion of the palm, it began to accelerate!

Surrounding it is the dark sea!

Centered around a "water sphere," a huge and ferocious man-eating shark leaps through the air!

His eyes and shark teeth were all stained with a dark, inky color.

It is made entirely of water, but there are still wisps of dark elements escaping from within.

The combined Water Stream Shark can not only tear apart its target.

The dark elements contained between the teeth will also erupt wildly when biting!

Like tiny steel knives, they chopped and chewed up!

Until the target is reduced to a pulp!

This forbidden technique was originally only mastered by deep-sea divers who used the essence of certain shark monsters after their deaths in the dark sea.

Now, with Ling Xiao, it's like he can get whatever he wants with a simple clap of his hands!

The names in the magic books were too long, and Ling Xiao found them a headache.

So we gave it a simple and easy-to-understand name – Shark Dagger!

The first mate, who had already fallen into the Deep Ones, became the first enemy to die by the Shark Dagger...

Its physique is indeed not weak, and as a completely mutated deep diver, it can indeed contend with the power of the Dark Sea.

But it was only for a moment...

The Shark Dagger, with its jaws wide open, first bit down hard on the first mate's upper body!

As a result, he was held back for a few seconds by the latter's two thick upper limbs that were stretched out as far as they could!

But the next moment.

As the dark element on the shark tooth erupted, endless cutting and pulverizing turned the first mate's arms into a bloody pulp!

The screams had barely escaped its lips when it was swallowed whole!

The surging waters and the giant sharks became even more frenzied after tasting blood.

The first mate's exposed lower body swayed unwillingly.

The webbed claws dug into the floor with a "crackling" sound.

After a stagger, its thick hind legs collapsed to its knees.

The giant shark, which had already completely crushed the upper body of the deep diver, opened its huge mouth again and swallowed the remaining limbs whole!

bang——

Not long after.

With a muffled thud, the spell collapsed and disintegrated.

The first mate, who had already transformed into a Deep One and was supposed to bring trouble to the explorers, died at Ling Xiao's hands.

"Hiss... Brother Xiao, why do I feel like you've gotten stronger again?"

Qi Heng stroked his stubble, frowning as he complained, "How am I supposed to reclaim the top spot if you keep playing like this?"

"No, this can even be driven?"

Ling Xiao glanced at him sideways and casually replied, "What? If it's not off, it's on?"

With the death of the First Officer in Deepsea form, everyone who witnessed this scene completed an additional task.

"So this thing was already dead..."

Ye Zhanqing said thoughtfully, "It seems that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Homecoming should be full of so-called Deep Ones."

"Those two crew members could still communicate before, so the first mate should have been stronger originally, right? Why did he mutate even more completely?"

Ling Xiao knew the answer to this question.

But he couldn't explain it.

How so?

Similar to themselves, are stronger individuals more likely to be chosen as targets for alienation?

"Look around here; he kept trying to move in this direction before he died."

Ling Xiao led the group toward the messy bed.

As the user of the Shark Dagger, he is also aware of the reactions of those who are affected.

When the dark element concentrated and exploded, the first mate seemed to regain some of his senses.

It steered its body a few steps toward the bed, but its head was quickly bitten off.

Perhaps if we had withdrawn our attack then and spared his life, we could have gotten some information out of him.

However, Ling Xiao never dared to be careless towards those who had been identified as enemies.

Especially those monsters with impressive backgrounds in the mysterious realm, who knows what tricks they might pull to turn the tables?

What if you drag yourself into that illusion where the deep sea and the starry sky are indistinguishable?

【Permanent Ice Heart】cannot withstand such high-intensity destructive testing in a short period of time...

He sensed the presence of the Deep Sea Royal Family but found nothing.

It seems that what the first mate wanted to convey or desired before his death had nothing to do with the Deep Ones.

"Hey! Is this it!?"

Hammer Girl, who always has good luck, also spotted a key among a pile of dirty shirts.

There were no strange power fluctuations.

As soon as the group saw it, a mission notification appeared.

If the side quest can flash with golden light, then it must be a key item!

"Let me see where it leads!"

Hammer Sister enthusiastically unleashed her golden silk.

After a while.

The latest novel is first published here!

She looked at Ling Xiao in surprise and said, "Brother Xiao, this key... seems to be for the captain's cabin..."

captain……

These words immediately drew the attention of several people.

If we were to discuss the person with the highest power and status on an ocean-going vessel, there would be no doubt that it is the captain!

There are many reasons why Ling Xiao and the others did not go directly to the captain's cabin to explore.

What assigned area...?

Unfamiliar with the cabin layout...

Distracted response to danger...

……

Once Ling Xiao remembered this, he could no longer ignore it.

Why didn't I think of going straight to the captain's cabin?

He forgot about it, and why didn't anyone else mention it?

In the additional information, the captain and first mate are right next to each other!

At this moment.

He held the key to the captain's cabin in his hand.

He suddenly realized that he had completely overlooked this idea!

It's as if someone used high-quality correction fluid to cover up the "D" at the end of the four options (A, B, C, D)!

This meant that everyone, including him, had to rack their brains to figure out "ABC"!

After analyzing each option one by one, it was found that none of them matched the question stem, so the option to be hidden was considered...

Ling Xiao suddenly stopped breathing.

This strange alteration of thought and ambiguity reminded him of some unpleasant experiences.

He was still very weak at that time.

A mere illusionary demon almost made him lose himself in his emotions and rage.

But now I can be considered a strong ant, right?

Moreover, they are quite adept at resisting anomalies.

How did I get infected so silently again?!

Qi Heng just called himself a "cheater," could it be that the administrator deliberately punished him?!

Fortunately, after cautiously recalling everything and reassuring himself about the captain's presence, he found no other anomalies.

He then decisively ordered, "Take us to the captain's cabin! And quickly!"

Qi Heng quickly realized what was happening, and his expression turned quite ugly.

Ye Zhanqing and the other two women were not naive either. Although Ling Xiao did not say it explicitly, they had guessed something based on their own experiences.

His expression rarely revealed an overwhelming sense of panic.

Whenever.

A monster with form and substance is ultimately no match for an intangible, extraordinary terror!

It's understandable that they felt panicked.

In fact, Ling Xiao's reaction was even worse than theirs when he was first hit by a similar trick.

Hammer Sister nervously swallowed.

However, under Ling Xiao's unwavering gaze, she gradually felt reassured and began to use the key to find the familiar lock.

"Wait a moment."

When walking up a staircase that I had passed by many times but always ignored.

Ling Xiao called out to stop the group.

He turned around, his gaze calmly fixed on the corner at the end of the corridor.

After a ripple, several figures appeared in the darkness.

Two teams... ten people...

It was the white man and the female Japanese soldier!

"Wow! Your senses are really amazing!"

The white-haired man exclaimed with exaggerated admiration, "I guess you're not a professional detective, but you're able to see through my extraordinary tool just by using your extra abilities."

"Oh... God! Your overall strength is such that I would call you the strongest!"

"But..." He suppressed his smile, a cold laugh escaping his lips as he asked softly, "Why did you stop walking?"

"Is there some danger up there? Or is there some treasure up there that they don't want us to get close to?"

The atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.

Everyone was fully aware of the impending battle!

In a dungeon where friend and foe are unclear, two teams team up to track another team.

No one could have imagined a single possibility of goodwill!

Ling Xiao, who is usually decisive, did not immediately break off relations.

It was because the dark water currents not only helped him sense this group of people with ill intentions, but also revealed a group of powerful beings!

It's in the space above the stairs!

They were standing right outside the captain's cabin door!

So the white man, by sheer luck, guessed everything correctly.

However, Lingxiao's team is now caught in a pincer movement.

Above, hordes of monsters lie in wait, while behind, malevolent kin lurk, ready to strike.

What should I do?

Ling Xiao thought for a moment.

The only solution is to kill!

He's not stupid enough to try and reason with a pack of jackals!

Even if we were to talk, we'd have to smash their mouths first, stomp their heads under our feet and spit on them a couple of times before we could say anything!

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Several people received a message from Ling Xiao in the group chat.

Qi Heng, surprised, stopped him, saying, "Although I know you've got connections, Brother Xiao, you seem to be getting a little too cocky!"

"So this doesn't allow you to play it by ear?"

Ling Xiao smiled and let out a long breath.

He then released the force he had been struggling to suppress.

An aura that instinctively instilled fear emanated from him.

When your gaze falls on him, it feels as if your soul is being crushed by millions of tons of seawater!

Having just escaped this terrifying illusion, she noticed that Ling Xiao's figure had become somewhat "impure" in her vision.

Those are dark elements that are gradually condensing and emerging in the air!

Above the dark sea, on the Homecoming Ship.

The power of the Dark Sea that the Deep Sea Royal Family can draw upon is simply beyond imagination!

Ling Xiao didn't turn around, but his voice clearly reached Su Jinxi and the others' ears.

"Actually, my hands are always itchy, so very itchy..."

"At first I thought I was influenced, that various factors combined had distorted my original mindset."

"But I've always understood that nothing has really changed..."

He raised his right arm and slowly closed his five fingers together.

As you clench your fist, a strong gust of wind sweeps through the corridor!

"I don't want to, and I won't, lie to myself anymore..."

"I really like it, I really enjoy the thrill that this power brings!"

"Does having ten people mean you can bully the weak?"

"Let's kill ten first... You guys are really lucky..."

Before the words were even finished, a strange phenomenon occurred!
