Start?
Samuel did not seem to understand Tang Ling's words. Instead, he wandered around the cave and muttered to himself, "Omir might be stupid, but he's a true genius in his family."
Tang Ling leaned against the wall with the cigarette in his mouth and listened without commenting.
"All the talents of the Poseidon family are related to the sea. I guess you've guessed it. For example, they can control some low-level sea creatures or breathe underwater. Of course, it's just the basics. All the core members of the family can breathe underwater. All the core members can breathe underwater because we've mutated. " As Samuel spoke, he took out a crystal bottle from the small leather bag he carried with him. After unscrewing the lid, he took a sip gently.
"Give me a bottle." Tang Ling did not hold back. The wine in the crystal bottle had left a deep impression on him, so why would he not take it when he had the chance?
Samuel glanced at Tang Ling speechlessly before he tossed the bottle of wine to Tang Ling.
Just when Tang Ling wanted to say something, Samuel glared at him. "This is the only one. Take it or leave it."
"Of course, I'll take it even though you have the habit of giving me the wine you've drunk," Tang Ling grumbled.
He didn't mean it, but when Samuel heard it, his face actually turned slightly red. He had a feeling that giving Tang Ling the wine he had drunk was not the right thing to do.
However, both Samuel and Tang Ling did not care about such a trivial matter.
After two seconds of silence, Samuel said, "In short, mutation is something that makes people feel lonely and afraid. Be it Omir or me, we can't accurately define ourselves because we have the same talent.
"Killing him is not a pleasant thing to do."
"Hmm." Tang Ling raised a brow. He did not want to comment on the matter. Since Samuel wanted to talk, he would listen.
"So, I've found a good place for him to be buried. He's returned to the sea and maintained the tradition of the land, so he can rest in peace. " When Samuel said that, he suddenly stomped on the ground, causing cracks to appear on the ground.
"Do you need my help?" Tang Ling asked.
"What do you think?" Samuel raised a brow at Tang Ling.
Tang Ling stood up right away. Digging a hole was not a difficult task for him.
After six or seven minutes, a pit of suitable size appeared in the cave. Looking at the pit, Samuel's expression showed a trace of sadness.
However, Tang Ling ignored the sadness and said to Samuel, "Are you going to bury him just like that?"
Samuel was a little angry again. She even suspected that Tang Ling was her natural nemesis. If she were to stay with this guy for a little longer, she felt like her lungs would explode from anger.
"I remember my promise to you." Barely suppressing the anger in his heart, Samuel said calmly.
Tang Ling did not care about Samuel's emotions as he dragged Omir's body over.
"The war seed is here. Call me when you find it." Samuel frowned and pointed at a certain spot on Omir's body. He suppressed the rumbling in his heart and called out to Tang Ling.
Frowning, Tang Ling took out a small knife and cut the spot where Samuel was pointing at.
In this era, killing seemed to be the main theme of life. Even Samuel had to deal with it since she was young. However, a massacre was a massacre, and moving a dead body was a heavy burden for Tang Ling.
Nevertheless, it was something that he had to face. No matter what he had to face, he had to hold the bottom line in his heart and never forget it.
Tang Ling was a person who thought things through easily. When he cut the body again, his heart was calm.
Samuel had told Tang Ling where the war seed was hiding, so it only took Tang Ling around 20 seconds to locate it in Omir's body.
It was Tang Ling's first time seeing a top-tier war seed other than Tang Long's.
As a matter of fact, Tang Long's war seed was embedded on his tattoo, but Tang Ling did not know whether it was the true form of Tang Long's war seed, but the war seed in Omir's body made Tang Ling believe it was the true form of the war seed.
The war seed looked like a flower. To be exact, it was still a bud inside Omir's body, but one of the petals was slightly opened.
It seemed to have its own intellect like the little seed. When Tang Ling found it, it showed obvious fear and the whole bud was trembling.
"I've found it." Tang Ling did not simply go for the war seed because Samuel had reminded him to tell her when he found it.
Samuel's shoulders trembled a little when he heard that, but he did not turn around. Instead, he was carrying Tang Ling on his back.
A while later, Samuel passed a small empty bottle to Tang Ling.
It should be Samuel's wine bottle, but it was not filled with wine. Instead, it was filled with a drop of blood. Unlike normal red blood, this drop of blood had an icy blue tint to it.
"The war seed of the Poseidon family won't be easily taken away. Without my blood, the war seed will self-destruct when you touch it," Samuel explained to Tang Ling.
Tang Ling took the bottle and asked, "How do I use it?"
"Just sprinkle my blood on it," Samuel replied quickly.
Tang Ling was a little hesitant when he heard that, but he quickly removed the cork and poured Samuel's blood on the war seed.
"Are you afraid that I'll use some tricks?" Even though Samuel did not turn around, he seemed to know what was on Tang Ling's mind, so he mocked him.
"You and I have only known each other for a short while, so it's normal for me to suspect something." Tang Ling did not plan to hide the truth.
After the war seed was splashed with Samuel's blood, it stopped trembling. The lively flower suddenly stiffened as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.
As he spoke, Tang Ling carefully grabbed the stem of the flower and gently pulled the war seed out.
"You're quite honest. Why didn't you suspect anything after that?" Tang Ling retrieved the war seed and dragged Omir's body into the pit.
It was then that Samuel finally turned around and looked at Tang Ling with a profound gaze.
"I suppose you're a showman. Otherwise, there's no need to beat around the bush. This is your turf after all, isn't it? " Tang Ling shrugged and said, "I'm not God. I can only judge things through logic and psychology. Maybe I'll make a mistake. "
"But …" Tang Ling then stepped up and looked at Samuel with a burning gaze. "I'm not gambling. I'm making a deal with you. The premise of a deal is that you have to be safe.
"If I'm not greedy and I get what I want, then I won't feel disappointed. If I make a mistake, you'll pay the price. "
His words had a deeper meaning to them. Samuel was smart enough to understand what Tang Ling was trying to say.
In other words, Tang Ling was trying to say that if he was having a hard time, Samuel wouldn't be able to either. Although he did not get anything out of it, Samuel would not be able to get anything out of it either.
In this regard, Samuel felt that it was very reasonable. Dealing with such a person would make things easier.
"Alright, you don't have to remind me again. You've taken all kinds of precautions." At this time, Samuel walked to the pit and looked at Omir's body with a trace of sadness.
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't?" Tang Ling repeated what he said at the beginning, but at the same time, he was curious about why Samuel looked sad. Was it because of Omir?
Samuel no longer cared about Tang Ling. Instead, he danced a prayer dance in front of the pit. It looked like an ancient ritual.
The dance was short and finished in less than a minute. After the dance, Samuel made a strange gesture with his hands and started to mutter to himself.
Even though the whole process was a little novel to Tang Ling, he did not simply interrupt Samuel.
After the dance, Samuel grabbed a handful of crushed stones and threw them on Omir's body. He looked at Tang Ling and said, "Can you bury him?"
Tang Ling did not say anything. He buried Omir in the pit as he was told.
After that, he stretched his body and said, "Our deal ends here. Now, I need you to tell me the right way. I want to leave this place."
"I hope there won't be any more mistakes now that we've reached this stage. What I mean is, when I get out, I will really see a ship. "
Samuel was still immersed in her sadness. She did not answer Tang Ling's question and said, "Omir is a week older than me. The Poseidon family can show their talents at birth and his talents make the whole family happy."
"A week later, I was born. My family didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly. I have the same talent as Omir, and I'm even more powerful than him. "
"If, I am a boy. The struggle within the family will not be that intense, because there is no doubt that I will be the appointed successor. "
"Unfortunately …" Samuel looked at the top of the cave, his eyes blurred.
"Does your family value boys more than girls?" Tang Ling patted the dust off his body.
Samuel heaved a sigh of relief. "It's not that we value boys more than girls. It's just that the Poseidon family's bloodline inheritance is strange. Men are more likely to pass down their talents to the next generation."
"Actually …" Tang Ling looked at Samuel and suddenly said, "What is a human? There isn't an accurate standard. At least from my point of view, whether a person is worthy of being called a person or not depends on whether they have humanity or not. "
"You hate Omir, and you feel sad for his death. It's because you feel that without a clansman, especially a clansman who is so similar to you, you will feel even more alone and helpless. "
"But that's just you … or your family isolating themselves for some reason."
