Life was never smooth sailing. It would unknowingly usher in a bright moment, but it would also take a sudden turn for the worse and fall to the bottom.
The manta ray captain's hair was a little messy and his eyes were bloodshot, but his expression was numb as he looked out of the cabin. He felt like this was the lowest point of his life. No matter what happened in the future, he would never feel this terrible again!
He had always prided himself on being an excellent captain and a qualified commander.
However, he had suffered a series of unexpected setbacks during this mission.
First, he led 20 Purple Moon Warriors above rank 2 to surround a deserted island with almost nothing, but he failed to capture a single Purple Moon Warrior.
Then, he led 20 of his family's most advanced single-man combat ships to chase after a target in the sea.
However, Tang Ling easily broke the trap with a fishing rod. Not only did he break the trap, but he also plunged his own fleet into a predicament.
Fishing rods from Holy Tree City were extremely rare! No matter how rare a fishing rod was, it was still a fishing rod! It all depended on how the person used it.
It seemed like Tang Ling had used everything he had, including deceiving tactics.
Fine, the captain admitted that Tang Ling was a worthy opponent. Deep down in his heart, he admitted that Tang Ling was a worthy opponent.
Until now, out of the 21 ships, they had lost 9 of them.
Even when they returned to the Poseidon family's ancestral land, the captain would have to face a catastrophe.
As a matter of fact, he had tried his best.
After Tang Ling escaped and fought the vicious beasts in the sea, his outstanding commanding was the proof that the whole fleet had only lost 9 ships.
But what the f * ck was the use of this!
Moreover, a strange vicious beast had appeared during the battle and was stealing the spoils of war.
When they returned, it would be impossible for them to hand over the spoils of war to make up for their mistakes.
Of course, the captain was numb at the moment.
That strange Vicious Beast was another incomparably huge octopus. In the ocean, whales, sharks, and octopus Vicious Beasts were generally not to be trifled with.
According to the accumulated experience of the Poseidon family, these vicious beasts were extremely powerful and smarter than common vicious beasts in the sea.
Therefore, when the gigantic octopus appeared, the captain had only one thought in his mind. It was over! Completely over!
This was a truly powerful fellow.
Moreover, the strategic projector's alarm sounded. The various data analysis reports that were supposed to appear immediately appeared only after a delay of two seconds. What appeared after that were a bunch of f * cking question marks!
At that moment, the captain actually had the illusion that the huge fellow not far away was a level-nine Direbeast.
He was already prepared for the destruction of his fleet.
However, what happened next left everyone dumbfounded.
After the octopus appeared, it did not rush into the battlefield immediately. Instead, it swam around the battlefield as if it was observing something.
Regarding this point, it was actually reasonable! The level of intelligence of a Level Nine Vicious Beast had always been a topic of research for human scientists.
Even if there was no complete result yet, it was already a consensus that a Level Nine Direbeast had extraordinary intelligence.
Therefore, the octopus's observation was very reasonable. But at the same time, all the creatures present felt their hair stand on end.
Yes, not just humans. The ferocious sea beasts that were fighting seemed to be very afraid of this giant octopus.
However, what happened next left everyone dumbfounded.
The octopus that had been observing finally made its move. The way it made its move was quite extraordinary as well. One of its already long tentacles suddenly extended infinitely and wrapped around the body of a level-four vicious beast that had just died in battle.
Was it going to eat it? Or was it going to do something else?
All the creatures were stunned for a moment, but the octopus was very agile. After wrapping itself around the corpse, it ran away at an incredible speed.
Ran away? Stole a body and ran away! What the hell was that?
Everyone did not understand what the octopus was trying to do.
However, it was still a good thing that a powerful fellow had escaped! The battle continued. After all, how could a fleet of ships fight against more than 20 vicious sea beasts end so quickly?
However, something depressing happened again.
The somewhat sneaky octopus appeared on the battlefield again.
What was it doing here? What else could it do? It stole another level-four vicious beast's body and ran away again!
It was here to make money from the war! It was here to take advantage of the situation!
Even the dumbest person would have reacted to the situation. The captain even punched the control panel and scolded loudly. The captain knew that he could at least stall for time until the rescue from the Tommy Safety Line arrived.
However, once the rescue arrived, it meant that most of the spoils would belong to the rescue team.
After all, as a captain who had made a mistake and lost so many single-man combat ships, he had no say in the matter.
However, if there were enough spoils, he would more or less be able to get some back. He might not be able to make up for his mistake, but it was better than nothing.
With that thought in mind, the captain's eyes started to sting. Where the hell did this sneaky octopus come from?! Up until now, it had stolen four vicious sea beasts' bodies, yet it dared not attack them. Even the strategic projector could not identify the level of the vicious beast, so who would dare to attack it?
Was it looking for trouble?
The vicious sea beasts seemed to be infuriated by the octopus's behavior. They probably shared the same thought as the captain, which was why they dared not attack recklessly.
The rewards on this battlefield were too great. Not only were there so many delicious humans, but there were also so many corpses of their own kind. Even though the sneaky octopus had stolen the best, there were still a lot of them left.
The captain watched helplessly as the sneaky octopus appeared again and stole the last corpse. He started to go crazy.
He swore that if the sneaky octopus came again to steal the corpses, he would attack it regardless of the cost.
However, after the octopus stole the fifth Level 4 vicious beast's body, it did not appear again and the battle continued.
**
The reinforcements from the Tommy Safety Line came a little too late.
At least, that was the case for the captain.
After he lost 13 single-man combat ships and killed 19 vicious sea beasts, the reinforcements from the Tommy Safety Line finally arrived.
They did not look like they were here to rescue. Instead, they looked like they were here to rob.
The first thing they did was not fight the vicious sea beasts. Instead, they sent out most of their combat ships to retrieve the dead bodies of the vicious sea beasts and transport them back to the cargo ship on the surface.
Then, they slowly surrounded the vicious sea beasts to prevent them from escaping. In the end, they cooperated with the captain's small team and killed all the vicious sea beasts.
Without a doubt, all the spoils of war were taken away by the captain.
After losing 13 combat ships, the captain did not have the right to speak. He even had to thank the captain for coming to save his fleet from being wiped out.
Even though it was as disgusting as swallowing a fly, he had to admit it because it was the truth.
**
Samuel was in a good mood as he looked at the spoils of war on the cargo ship.
Although she did not show up at all during the rescue mission, as the new owner of the Spit Safety Line, the cargo ship that was filled with spoils of war would still arrive before her.
Without a doubt, the captain had brought the rest of the cargo ship back with his tail between his legs. He did not leave a single word about Tang Ling.
After all, his direct superior was not Samuel, so he did not have to report anything to Samuel.
"What did Tang Ling do?" Samuel could not figure out what Tang Ling had done when he looked at the spoils of war on the cargo ship. Not only did Tang Ling escape from a 21-man elite team, but he was also able to collect so many spoils of war.
No matter what, he had to fulfill his promise to Tang Ling. According to Tang Ling's request, a third of the spoils of war must be given to the Harvest.
Tang Ling did not explain anything about the request.
Samuel did not need an explanation from Tang Ling either. First of all, it was Tang Ling's contribution that allowed them to collect so many spoils of war.
Second, Samuel was certain that she wanted to earn Tang Ling's friendship and establish a long-term working relationship with him.
Therefore, Samuel would fulfill Tang Ling's request without a second thought.
After ordering his men to move a third of the spoils of war onto his cargo ship, Samuel gave a few orders and left.
According to the secret promise she made with Higan after she received the call, she was going to look for a relatively safe spot in the sea and leave the spoils of war on the surface. The Harvest would then come and collect the spoils of war.
"There's a little fox hiding under Higan's beautiful face, and Tang Ling is an old fox." Tang Ling is an old fox. "Samuel shook his head and could not help but exclaim.
However, if she knew that the best spoils of war had all been stolen by a sneaky octopus, how would she feel about it?

Monty was very upset. It stood on Tang Ling's head and crossed its arms in front of its chest with its antennae, glaring fiercely at Tang Ling.
Lord Meng had performed a meritorious deed by dragging the bodies of the five Level 4 vicious beasts to the island, but Tang Ling was sleeping on the island in broad daylight.
Even when Monty hit Tang Ling with its antennae and spat ink on his face, Tang Ling did not show any signs of waking up.
It made Monty a little anxious.
After working for so long, it was a little tired. The meat of the vicious beasts of the sea was tempting, and Monty really wanted to eat it.
However, Monty had a strange habit. The better the food, the more it liked to eat cooked food, but it did not know how to cook it and Tang Ling was sleeping. What should it do?
What else could it do? Monty was a persistent octopus, so it decided to wait.
To its surprise, it waited from afternoon to dusk and from dusk until the Purple Moon rose.
Just as Monty was about to fall asleep from waiting, Tang Ling suddenly moaned softly.
Delighted, Monty extended its antennae and wanted to scold Tang Ling.
However, Tang Ling did not wake up. Instead, two bursts of energy exploded from his body.
This energy path was very mysterious and profound. There seemed to be faint lines on it, and when Monty glanced at those lines, it felt as if its head had been hammered by a heavy hammer. It immediately covered its eyes with its tentacles, and only then did it get rid of the splitting headache.
After its antennae were removed, Monty dared not look at the profound energy anymore. It saw another energy, the blue that was unique to the sea.
After the two bursts of energy surged into the sky, they tangled with each other like two giant snakes fighting each other.
However, this situation only lasted for less than two seconds before the mysterious energy enveloped the blue energy.
The blue energy was enveloped by the profound energy that no one could tell what color it was, and its color started to fade.
Then, a moment later, the blue energy completely disappeared as it fused with the profound energy.
The profound energy became thicker, and after the blue energy disappeared, it shrunk rapidly.
In the end, under Monty's dumbfounded gaze, it shrank into a strange plant with two completely unfurled leaves and a small new spore. It looked like it was about to sprout branches, and there was a small flower the size of a grain of rice on the spore.
The strange plant landed on Tang Ling, and as if it sensed Monty's gaze, it suddenly jumped onto Monty's head.
Monty was shocked. It wanted to run away, but it was completely stepped on by the strange plant.
Then, Monty's blurry mind received a strange message.
"You are Daddy's little brother, right?
"Then remember, you are also my little brother."
Daddy is first, I'm second, and you're third. Got it? "
What does that mean? Monty was completely confused. Who is Daddy? What's a little brother? First, second, third? I can't even count properly.
However, no matter how confused Monty was, it knew in its heart that all the messages were from the strange plant.
It was instinctively afraid of the strange plant, so when it received the messages, it covered its round head with its two short antennae and used its unique surrender posture to nod non-stop.
The plant was satisfied with Monty's reaction. Its two leaves shook a little before it jumped down from Monty's head and landed on Tang Ling's body. It then crawled into the wound on Tang Ling's chest.
Monty blinked its eyes at the strange scene. Why is Tang Ling's chest bleeding? Is Tang Ling hurt?
Monty could not help but place its tentacles on Tang Ling's chest to stop the bleeding, but at that very moment, Tang Ling groaned heavily again. He opened his eyes and grabbed Monty before he looked at his chest with a thoughtful expression.
The wound on his chest was caused by the war seed fusion in the morning, but with Tang Ling's powerful body, the wound should have healed by now.
However, the war seed fusion almost failed.
As for the reason? Maybe it was because he forced himself to stop for five minutes, or maybe it was because Omir's war seed was too powerful. Of course, Tang Ling was not prepared at all. Since he wanted to devour a top-tier war seed, there was a high chance of failure.
While he was unconscious, Tang Ling knew everything about the fusion process, but because he was unconscious, he could not do anything about the situation. Despite his strong will, he almost fell into despair.
However, to everyone's surprise, Omir's war seed, which had the upper hand, somehow split open just as it was about to devour Tang Ling. It transformed into a blue stream of energy and escaped from the wound on Tang Ling's chest.
It was also at that moment that the little seed split open and turned into an indescribable color of energy with some mysterious patterns on it. It then chased after Tang Ling's wound.
What Monty saw next was what he saw.
The energy that the little seed transformed into easily devoured Omir's war seed's energy!
What's going on? I've never heard of war seed fusion before! Will it affect me in the future?
Tang Ling was at a loss since he only had a basic level of knowledge about war seed fusion.
However, no matter what, the fusion of the war seed had succeeded in the end under such strange circumstances.
Tang Ling stood up and moved his body.
This time, his body did not change at all, but a thin layer of bone armor appeared on his forearms.
Tang Ling's eyes shone with excitement as he looked at the bone armor. He could not hold it back anymore and laughed out loud.
After taking such a huge risk to fuse with the war seed, he was rewarded with a huge reward. It even triggered the little seed's second form!
Although the bone armor was very thin and its defense was not even as useful as the standard armor of a Rank 1 Purple Moon Warrior, it was still a breakthrough.
Tang Ling's mind was flooded with more information, and it undoubtedly made him even more excited.
It was at that moment that Monty grumbled in dissatisfaction. Tang Ling has been holding it for so long! Why hasn't he put it down yet?! I, Lord Monty, have made a great contribution!
Tang Ling finally noticed Monty at that moment, but before he could say anything, Monty started to gesticulate at Tang Ling.
"Five? All of them are Level 4 vicious beasts? "Tang Ling felt like he was really lucky today.
"Monty, you're amazing! I'll go barbecue some meat for you now!" Tang Ling could not help but praise Monty. He grabbed Monty and sprinted towards the bodies of the vicious beasts. He was eager to test out the new information that he just received.
**
Tang Ling was delighted with his reward.
Meanwhile, in Dolgo's mansion, Meryl had smashed a series of precious artworks, corals, and other expensive decorations all over the floor.
It had failed. Everything that was in the bag had failed just like that.
Not only did Tang Ling escape, but their elite squadron, the Devil Ray Squadron, had also lost a total of 13 single-man combat airships.
Compared to Meryl's frenzied behavior, Dolgo was a lot calmer. He did not punish his captain too much. All he did was scold him a little and fine him a little before sending him away.
The situation was not in their favor, so they could not afford to lose the support of the people.
Since they had paid such a huge price for Bibili Kerry, it was time for him to fulfill his promise.
