"I found that since other voices began to appear in my head, my body seemed to have changed. It seemed that my body became stronger, more powerful, more responsive, and more flexible. This seems to be a good phenomenon, not as terrible as the old captain said."
"But people say that abnormalities that occur at sea are not good phenomena. Should I wait until I get ashore to find them?"
Suddenly, a harsh sound came from my ears, like the friction sound of sharp nails scratching the hull.
Carl stood up at once, picked up the scimitar on the bedside, picked up a small metal arm shield with his left hand and put it on his left arm, and slowly walked to the door.
Through the glass porthole at the door, I saw the lightless sky outside the window. The thick black clouds and the dark sea were connected to form a dark curtain with no visible edge.
In this world, darkness rules everything. There is no distinction between day and night. In fact, he doesn't know whether it is day or night. The thick black clouds that never disperse all year round block the sunlight. Since Carl can remember, he has never seen the sun.
Some are the endless darkness that dominates this world, and the weirdness and monsters hidden in the darkness.
Listening carefully, the sound came from outside the ship's side. He gently pushed open the door and walked out. A biting cold wind blew in his face. Suddenly, he turned around and saw that the door of the room next to him was also pushed open. A very strong man with a height of more than two meters walked out with a cold and shining scimitar in each hand.
This is the boatswain, Honas, a formal blood source warrior.
The two looked at each other and nodded, slowly walking to the edge of the ship's side. Carl winked at Honas, shielded his left arm in front of him and slowly stretched his head out. The next second, his eyes blurred, and he subconsciously leaned back. A muscle-twisted tentacle with four sharp bone spurs on the top brushed against the ship's side and rushed up. Honas stepped forward and twisted his two knives. A piercing scream made them dazed. Bright yellow liquid sprayed, and the muscle tentacles flew up and fell into the sea.
"Behind you!"
Another muscle tentacle quietly stretched out from the other side of Honas, and the top quickly expanded from the thigh to the basin. Four sharp bone spurs also opened to reveal the huge mouth in the center and bit down like lightning. Carl smashed the muscle tentacle with his shield and stabbed with his right hand scimitar like lightning. The muscle tentacle quickly contracted to avoid the knife, and then the third and fourth tentacles stretched out from the sea water at the same time and expanded rapidly.
"Get down!"
The old captain roared with full energy behind him. Carl and Honas lay down on the side of the ship at the same time, and felt a flash of white light above their heads. Three muscle tentacles fell and hit them and rolled on the deck, and bright yellow mucus sprayed everywhere.
Then a roar and a heavy sound of falling into the water came from the sea outside the side of the ship, and the sound gradually became smaller.
"Let's go."
Carl and Honas breathed a sigh of relief and turned around. Suddenly, they heard the old captain yelling from behind:
"Get down!"
The two of them were startled and wanted to get down, but it was too late. An invisible force descended on Carl and lifted him and Honas up at the same time.
At this time, everyone else on the ship had already rushed over, but they didn't dare to get close. In their eyes, a faint gray flame was burning on the two people, as if they were bitten and swallowed by something, which made everyone feel creepy. The
old captain held a delicate scimitar with seven faintly glowing gems embedded in the handle, one of which had been extinguished. He stared at the two people floating in the air. Suddenly, he held the handle with both hands and chopped it down hard. A dazzling transparent knife light flashed and swept across the void above the two people's heads. The two people in the air fell down with a piercing scream.
But they didn't fall to the ground, but stood in the air a few centimeters away from the deck with extremely twisted bodies. A gray gas slowly extended from the feet of the two people, and the deck turned gray when it touched it, as if it had been decayed for a long time.
At the same time, the hands of Jonas on the right began to swell, and the muscles swelled as if out of control. The knotted muscles were exposed and suddenly bounced up from the arms, flying in the air like tentacles, looking like there were many tentacles on the whole arm. At the same time, this change was extending from the arms to other parts of the body.
"The blood source is out of control!"
Everyone looked at the two people with vigilance from a distance. The old captain held the scimitar tightly and had some hesitation on his face.
A one-eyed man next to him had a flashing look and said in a low voice:
"Captain, they..."
"Shut up!"
The old captain interrupted him immediately, looked at him deeply, and said to everyone:
"Don't look, don't talk, don't touch on the sea, shut your mouths!"
Turning his head and staring at the two people who were still twisting and deforming, and whose bodies had begun to grow small flesh whiskers, his eyes became colder and colder, and the scimitar in his hand slowly raised.
At this moment, Carl's painful face on the left suddenly trembled violently, and then his closed eyes opened, and dazzling white light gushed out of them. A transparent clear wave spread around his body with his head as the center. The body that was swept by the clear light stopped mutating instantly and quickly returned to its original state.
"The old captain who was about to swing his knife was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his knife and slashed. The three-meter-high half-moon blade light plowed a crack along the hard deck and swept past. Honas, whose body was twisted, suddenly opened his eyes to reveal bright yellow pupils, and his two thick mutant arms crossed in front of him.
"Puff! "
The blade flashed across and directly split Honas, who had mutated to a height of two meters and five or six meters, into two, and the sticky yellow body fluid sprayed all over the ground.
On the other side, Carl slowly opened his eyes, his pupils were black, and he could vaguely see a reflected Rubik's Cube slowly rotating inside, with a trace of clear light emitting from the Rubik's Cube.
He showed a strange expression on his face, slowly lowered his head to check himself, then looked up to see everyone with a vigilant look on their faces, then turned his head to look at the dark sky and the sea shrouded in endless darkness, and muttered to himself:
"I'm not dead?"
"But my power..."
"The power of the God Realm has been sealed. I am just an ordinary person now."
"I can't sense the outside world, I can't sense the main world. Am I lost?"
After checking his own status, Lin Xiao felt a faint despair. This world had never been heard of before. It was completely isolated from the main world. Even though he was ranked on the Tianjiao list and had a closer connection with the main world than others, he could not sense the breath of the main world at this time. Instead, the
remaining strong perception made him feel that this world was full of malice. He didn't need to look back. He could feel the malice in the sea behind him that made his scalp tingle.
He subconsciously moved forward away from the edge of the ship, but saw that the group of people in front of him were more vigilant. The old captain raised his knife and shouted loudly:
"Don't get close!"
"Old Captain!"
The memory before waking up was still there. Lin Xiao was very skilled in reading this familiar name.
When he fell into this world and floated on the sea, he happened to meet the old captain's ship passing by. They thought it was a monster that hooked him with a hook and pulled him to the shore. They were surprised to find that he was not a monster, but a real person.
So he was taken in by the old captain, who was homeless, and now he is a second mate of the Explorer.
The old captain carefully looked at his current state, and cleared his negative state through the magic energy in the magic cube. The abnormality in his body had disappeared long ago, and he was no different from a normal person. The old captain pondered for a while, and suddenly asked:
"What is the name of the current husband of Ms. Jenny who lives at No. 254 Second Street, Pearl Island?"
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, recalling the few memories in his mind. Pearl Island is the main port of the Explorer, and most of the crew members are from there. The old captain bought a yard on Second Street, and they often gathered there, No. 254.
He wondered:
"Isn't No. 254 where we live? Doesn't Ms. Jenny live at No. 255? And Ms. Jenny doesn't have a husband now."
Everyone's expression eased, but the old captain did not relax his vigilance and continued to ask:
"Ms. Jenny has a puppy, what's its name?"
"Lowei!"
"What is the chef's favorite catchphrase?"
"I'm going to chop you into meat sauce."
"Very good, you're fine."
The old captain smiled and waved to him to come over. He reached out and touched the slippery mucus on his head and patted it gently, saying:
"Child, go take a bath."
At this time, Lin Xiao had a lot of doubts and special changes. He nodded and went back to his room. Soon a sailor brought a few buckets of water and poured them into the big barrel. He waved his hand to let the sailor leave and jumped in.
"Open the panel!"
With a thought in his mind, a panel that only he could see opened, showing his current personal attribute panel:
Lin Xiao.
Talent: Unknown.
Level: Level 5.
Attributes: Constitution 2.4, Strength 2.3, Agility 1.8, Perception 15, Charisma 6, Intelligence 3.1.
Skills: None.
This is the current attribute. After waking up, he directly inherited part of his original perception, so his perception was as high as 15 points when other attributes were only a few points.
He was surprised to have an attribute panel in this world, but what surprised him even more was the second page of the panel.
This is a task panel with three tasks on it, and these tasks are more dangerous than one another.
The first regular two-star task: Kill a monster with a danger rating of two stars or above, and reward 1 point.
The second is the main task of the first stage: Own an exploration warship with a full crew, and reward 5 points.
The third one was rated as a world-class task: capture an island, clear the strange monsters on the island, build a city with a population of 100,000, and be rewarded with 300 points and a five-star authority.
Let's not talk about the so-called task for now. The key is how this thing appeared on me?
Lin Xiao knew that he entered this world by accident. He remembered that there were many nightmare warships and nightmare lords outside this world.
"Wait!"
Lin Xiao suddenly remembered the situation in the Temple of All Things. Those nightmare lords gathered outside the world were so similar to the past.
"Could it be that this is the elite of the nightmare world?"
He tried to query the panel in his mind. As expected, there was no response and the panel did not change.
