Did Tang Ling not know about the precautions?
No, he did.
It was just that Tang Ling could not fulfill any of the requirements at the moment, yet he was eager to fuse with the war seed.
He could not wait! The only way he could preserve the war seed was to soak it in the Universal Origin Fluid, but it could only last for a maximum of seven days.
Give up on the war seed? It was impossible.
Even if it was just a common war seed, Tang Ling would not give it up, let alone the top war seed in Omir's body.
Firstly, it was too difficult for the little seed to grow. After some comparison, Tang Ling realized that the little seed's growth was even slower than other common war seeds, which meant that the little seed had to rely on external help to grow.
Secondly, without breaking through to the Purple Moon Warrior level, it was impossible for Tang Ling to increase his strength by a huge margin. Facing the relentless pursuit, the only way to increase his strength was through the war seed.
Thirdly, the fusion of the war seed itself was very tempting. After the fusion was successful, the war seed's strength would increase by a hundred percent, and the amount of increase would depend on the devouring process. The more tempting thing was that after the devouring process was successful, there was a certain chance of acquiring other war seed abilities.
Tang Ling had always been a gambler during crucial moments, and he undoubtedly put his life on the line again.
It had been three hours since Tang Ling sent the war seed into his chest, but there was still no movement from him.
Given the scorching weather of the Purple Moon era, even with Tang Ling's physique, he would be in danger of dehydration if he did not replenish himself in time.
However, that was not the biggest danger.
Less than 50 nautical miles away from the floating rock island, 21 single combat airships appeared in a triangular formation.
The combat airships were fast. In less than three minutes, they had traveled another 10 nautical miles.
The single combat airship in the lead was bigger than the others. The protective shield of the single combat airship was opened, and the captain of the Devil Ray Squadron was standing inside.
He was holding a pair of high-tech binoculars and gazing into the distance. Soon, he saw what he was looking for — the floating rock island.
He adjusted the binoculars and scanned every corner of the island before it finally stopped at the giant boulder at the peak of the island. On top of the boulder was a blurry figure.
The captain showed a doubtful expression when he saw that. He zoomed in again and finally got a clear look at the figure. Was it not Tang Ling?
He looked like he was in a coma. Why did he choose to stay on that big rock without any shelter under such a scorching sun? Did he have a death wish to stay in such a conspicuous place?
The captain's doubts were justified, but since he had discovered Tang Ling, there was no reason for him to let him go. Regardless of what he was up to, he was not even a Purple Moon Warrior, so what could he do?
"Advance at full speed and change into formation number 16. You must land on Floating Rock Island in 15 minutes, "the captain issued a combat order.
The 20 ships immediately changed their formation and spread out, heading towards Floating Rock Island at full speed.
**
In the blink of an eye.
The 21 single-man battleships spread out and were already very close to Floating Rock Island.
The changing formation allowed these single-person warships to surround the Floating Rock Island from all directions.
Even if Tang Ling woke up and dashed to the bottom of the floating rock island, it would be impossible for him to escape because every single exit of the floating rock island was sealed.
Was Tang Ling awake? No! He was still lying on the big rock, but he started to twitch from time to time.
Due to the full speed, the single-man battleships produced a deafening rumble on the surface of the sea. Following the rumble, Tang Ling's twitching became even more intense.
"Dock together and land on the island!" The captain was the first to reach the destination. The moment he alighted from the ship, he gave the order.
Following his order, within half a minute, all the single-person combat airships were anchored somewhere near or far from the floating rock island.
The Purple Moon Warriors that came out of the cabins used their own methods to reach the floating rock island. Some swam, some sprinted on the surface of the sea.
The captain took out his binoculars again and scanned the floating rock island. He noticed that Tang Ling was still lying on the big rock, so he ordered the battleships to sprint towards the big rock and kill Tang Ling on the island.
Indeed, there was no room for negotiation. Tang Ling would be killed on sight.
All of them were rank 2 and above Purple Moon Warriors. Even though the floating rock island was filled with all kinds of jagged rocks and uneven cliffs, it was not a problem for the Purple Moon Warriors.
The floating rock island was not big, and the peak that Tang Ling was at was definitely not that high either. Therefore, in less than two minutes, the Purple Moon Warriors had covered half the distance. The irregular circle of encirclement was getting smaller and smaller as they closed in on Tang Ling rapidly.
As if he sensed the impending danger, Tang Ling started to twitch violently. His heart pounded as he clenched his fists tightly and opened his eyes in a daze.
What's my current state? Is the fusion successful? No, the fusion is not yet. I'm in an awkward position. The little seed and Omir's war seeds are still in a stalemate. It might seem like the two war seeds have started to fuse, but it is hard to tell who will devour who.
The little seed is powerful, but it is still too young at this stage. Even when it communicates with Tang Ling through consciousness, it was still in a baby-like state.
Moreover, other than the one year that it has been with Tang Ling, the little seed has been suffering from malnutrition for the rest of its life.
On top of that, Tang Ling did not prepare for the fusion, which increased the difficulty of the little seed's devouring.
How could Tang Ling wake up? It was his Precise Instinct that exploded and the tremendous sense of danger kept warning Tang Ling.
Tang Ling's body was very weak because he was resisting the pain from the fusion and the clash of energy.
Therefore, he struggled for a long time before he woke up.
Currently, Tang Ling was comforting the little seed, forcing it to temporarily stop the stalemate and devour.
However, if the delay dragged on, the little seed would not be able to attack and the Omir's attack would continue. The little seed would be devoured by the Omir and the war seed that did not belong to Tang Ling would then devour him.
In other words, Tang Ling only had five minutes at most to escape.
The moment he woke up, he saw the Purple Moon Warriors surrounding him from the highest vantage point.
In the next second, Tang Ling's mind came up with all kinds of data with his powerful calculation ability.
He could not afford to delay any longer.
Tang Ling did not show any panic. He flipped over and stood up before he calmly walked to the edge of the big rock.
He even took out a water bottle from his pocket and drank a few mouthfuls of water. After standing under the sun for a few hours, he did not want to be dehydrated due to the strenuous exercise.
Then, Tang Ling took a few pieces of vicious beast meat and stuffed them into his mouth without a second thought. He chewed a few times before he swallowed them down with water.
Energy started to fill up his weakened body.
Tang Ling looked at the Purple Moon Warriors below him with a cold expression. He even twisted his body a few times before he grabbed the Blood Bulrush Sword from his back and pointed it at the Purple Moon Warriors who were charging at him.
Is this kid trying to resist? Does he think he has the upper hand just because he's standing on the big rock?
The Purple Moon Warriors who witnessed the scene mocked Tang Ling.
They were three Rank 3 Purple Moon Warriors and they were quite outstanding. Out of consideration for various aspects, the captain ordered them to surround Tang Ling from the front.
Although the Rank 3 Purple Moon Warriors could not fly yet, they were faster than the other Purple Moon Warriors. According to their calculations, they would be able to climb up the big rock in 15 seconds and fight Tang Ling.
However, they did not expect Tang Ling to take the initiative and walk to the edge of the big rock. It seemed like he wanted to initiate the fight.
However, since he wanted to initiate the fight, he should have drawn his sword! Standing on the big rock, Tang Ling pointed his sword at them without moving.
It confused the three Rank 3 Purple Moon Warriors. If they had a closer look, they would have noticed that Tang Ling was mumbling something under his breath.
His Precise Instinct's calculation ability was calculating the best timing. Even before Tang Ling had matured, he had relied on the most basic calculation and prediction abilities of his Precise Instinct to survive against the beasts that were much stronger than him.
Now, the Purple Moon Warriors were nothing more than wild beasts in Tang Ling's eyes. What was there to be afraid of?
Tang Ling's heart was filled with pride, but he mumbled something under his breath.
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
Right after the word escaped his mouth, Tang Ling swung his sword. The first move he made was the sword intent that he was best at.
In this era, a person's stage was the most basic standard to measure a person's attack power, but there were some things that could be surpassed.
For example, an outstanding and strange talent ability, such as Higan.
Another example was the sword intent. In essence, it was also a display of talent ability, such as Han Xing's.
These attacks were very powerful and could even reach the level of cross-rank. Even though they were rare and harder to achieve than reaching the higher rank, they still existed.
Tang Ling swung his sword intent at them! It was even more powerful than Han Xing's sword intent! With such an indomitable aura, so what if he was a Rank 3 Purple Moon Warrior? So what if he was wearing the standard battle armor?
If he did not dodge the attack, he would surely be injured!
The price for a Purple Moon Warrior to pay for being injured was huge. The stronger his body was, the more precious the healing resources would be. If he allowed himself to heal, it would damage his body's foundation.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, the Purple Moon Warriors would never want to be injured.
What if they dodged? What if Tang Ling ran in this direction while they were dodging?
Therefore, the three Purple Moon Warriors were left with only one option: resist!
Without hesitation, the three Rank 3 Purple Moon Warriors unleashed their battle intent to resist Tang Ling's sword intent.
After all, Tang Ling was just a Purple Moon Warrior. No matter how powerful his sword intent was, it could not be nullified by the battle techniques of three Rank 3 Purple Moon Warriors.
Some of the overflowing energy even blasted towards the boulder that Tang Ling was standing on.
At the same time, some of the Purple Moon Warriors reached the bottom of the boulder.
Tang Ling turned around and looked around. Suddenly, he stomped his feet and the boulder started to shake violently.
It was at that moment that Tang Ling jumped down from the boulder. The moment he jumped down, seven to eight Purple Moon Warriors jumped on the boulder at the same time.
The moment the Purple Moon Warriors jumped on the boulder, the boulder that was already shaking violently collapsed and rolled down towards the Purple Moon Warriors who had just taken a hit from Tang Ling.
The other Purple Moon Warriors who jumped on the boulder fell to the side one after another.
Where was Tang Ling?
Tang Ling had dashed up the slope of the floating rock island at breakneck speed. How did he do it?
Without a doubt, it was the Great Captain's Belt that helped him do it.
The Great Captain's Belt was considered the top tactical movement disk of this era, so Tang Ling had chosen a spot to fix the Great Captain's Belt beforehand.
One thing worth noting was that the Great Captain's Belt had a total of eight twisted wires, and each of them was made of top-notch biological material that was almost transparent.
Tang Ling was smart enough to hide the twisted wire behind a boulder, in the bushes, or in the weeds. The angle where the twisted wire was hidden was accompanied by a cliff. Normal people would never climb to the peak of the floating rock island from that direction.
Tang Ling managed to hide the twisted wire in a secret place.
Then, he did something to the boulder on the cliff. The reason why the inverted triangular boulder was able to stay off the edge of the cliff was because of several delicate and balanced points.
Tang Ling also did something to the boulder so that it could still stand, but as time went by, the boulder would definitely collapse.
He purposely lured the three Purple Moon Warriors to attack him. He calculated that even if one of the Purple Moon Warriors' attack landed on the boulder, the boulder would collapse.
The best time for the boulder to tumble down was when all the Purple Moon Warriors had climbed up the cliff and were about to reach the boulder.
Then, even if they had the tactical movement disk and could jump down the cliff, they would have to find a fixed spot. The enemies in front of them would have to dodge the falling boulder in an awkward manner.
Then, he used the Great Captain's Belt, the Rebound Skill, to escape to his predetermined location.
He might not be able to stop the enemy, but he managed to save at least 20 seconds by going to and fro.
What could he do with the 20 seconds he saved?
Everything went according to Tang Ling's plan. After he reached the fixed spot, he released the Great Captain's Belt with his voice control and sprinted down the cliff.
However, the mountaintop was still in chaos at this time.
Tang Ling sprinted down without a care for his life. In less than 20 seconds, he reached the rocky beach where he hid the single combat airship.
He glanced behind him and saw that all the Purple Moon Warriors were on his tail.
The situation was better than he expected. Tang Ling calmly stabbed the fishing rod into a small device that he had set up around the single combat airship. He then opened the protective shield and tore the rope that held the ship in place. Clenching his teeth, he pushed the boulder in front of him away and jumped onto the single combat airship.
Tang Ling's single combat airship was no longer at the fixed spot. It was on the cliff where he could depart once he boarded the airship. In order to hide the single combat airship, Tang Ling even moved several boulders around it.
As a matter of fact, it was not a smart move.
However, the moment the Purple Moon Warriors arrived, they were in a hurry to get on the island and kill Tang Ling. They did not even think about where Tang Ling's airship was or how they could cut off his escape route.
Therefore, it provided Tang Ling with the perfect opportunity.
After Tang Ling jumped onto the airship, the fastest one was the captain of the Devil Ray Squadron. When he reached the bottom of the floating rock island, he bellowed furiously when he saw Tang Ling jump onto the airship.
It was unrealistic for him to chase after Tang Ling right away. After all, their airship was not parked at this spot.
"You can't get away!" The captain shouted through clenched teeth. Their single combat airship could lock onto a target within a certain range through the super-advanced radar.
The airship that Samuel gave Tang Ling did not have such a function since it was unnecessary.
Tang Ling did not think he would be safe once he got on the airship. If he could not think of a way to shake off the pursuers, he would not be safe for the time being.
With that in mind, Tang Ling skillfully controlled the single combat airship and dashed out. The moment he reached the sea, he activated the diving function and dove 50 meters deep.
Tang Ling heaved a breath of relief as he leaned back in the cabin to rest. At the same time, a small figure crawled out from the cabin and looked at Tang Ling with an annoyed expression.
Yes, who else could this figure be? It was Monty!
Before Tang Ling fused with the war seed, he had summoned Monty with a special whistle. As a matter of fact, after discussing the plan with Samuel, Tang Ling had asked where he would stop after he escaped.
After getting the coordinates of the floating rock island, Tang Ling ordered Monty to swim to the nearby area since it was not too far away from the safety line. There were no major dangers lurking around, and a little octopus like Monty would not cause any trouble for them.
After he decided to fuse the war seed on the floating rock island, Tang Ling summoned Monty ahead of time and hid it in the airship.
However, what annoyed Monty was that Tang Ling had been waiting for more than three hours on the airship. Tang Ling was not reliable at all.
Monty was annoyed and it was about to spit ink at Tang Ling's face.
Tang Ling picked Monty up and said, "Don't spit, Sir! It's not a joke now. Let's go big later! "
Monty's eyes shone as it waved its tentacles around. Its big eyes were filled with excitement as if it was asking Tang Ling to go big. Would there be delicious food?
"There'll be mountains of delicious food! I'm not lying to you! "Tang Ling boasted.
If one could observe from the outside, one would notice that Tang Ling was not moving fast after he dived into the water. He was only maintaining the normal speed of a single-man combat ship, and the fishing rod hanging outside his combat ship was shaking non-stop.
