Bibilikry shuddered in fear. None of the Zhan teenagers had witnessed such a scene.
Of course, even if they did, all they would do was mock him in their hearts.
All of their attention was focused on the so-called 'supplies' and they were not in the mood to care about anything else.
The white tent was at the edge of the island. It might seem unguarded and there was not even a roof over it. Hot and thick smoke rose from it.
However, there was not a single ship within a 30-kilometer radius of the island. According to Bibilikry's request, all the ships were cleared out of the area by the Dorgos using the Poseidon family's influence.
On top of that, before the arrival of the 13 Zhan teenagers, Bibilikry was the only one on the island who had the ability to move and think. He also had a small Sector Protection Machine from the Stardust Council.
The small Sector Protection Machine was installed beside the white tent.
Based on the arrangement, it seemed like the so-called 'supplies' were actually carried out in a highly guarded state. It also seemed like the supplies were a secret that must not be exposed to the public.
Of course, it must not be exposed to the public.
Zhan IX was the first to enter the white tent. As a matter of fact, there was nothing special about the mysterious tent other than a crude pool.
In the middle of the pool was a heater that utilized the energy of crystals to heat up the liquid in the pool.
On the other side of the pool, there was a pipe that carried fresh water into the pool.
Was the so-called 'supplies' a pool that was similar to a bathtub?
Of course not. If one saw the other side of the pool, one would know that a normal person would never step into the pool.
Why? Because on the other side of the pool, there were hundreds of overlapping iron cages. Most of the people in the iron cages were expressionless people with numb gazes. There were also some cages that contained beasts with the same dull gazes.
Other than their dull gazes, they all had one thing in common: a tube connected to a small device was inserted into their veins. Through the tube, their blood was constantly flowing into the pool.
Upon a closer look, one would be shocked to realize that the people with dull gazes were all rank 1 or 2 Purple Moon Warriors while the beasts were all Level 2 or 3 vicious beasts.
No one knew what method the Stardust Council used to force them to bleed out.
There was an oppressive gloom and dread about it.
But Zhan Jiu did not feel that way. Faced with the boiling blood-red water, he just took a deep, intoxicated breath, took off all his clothes, and almost sprinted into the water.
Zhan Jiu let out a satisfied sigh as he soaked in the pool. He paid no attention to the other youths who were stripping naked and jumping into the pool one after another.
Zhan VII was the last to come in. He silently took off his gold-rimmed glasses, looked at the people and beasts who were dismissed from school, and smiled coldly. He also took off his clothes, folded them neatly, and slowly walked into the pool.
In the area where Zhan Seven and Zhan Nine were soaking, no other youths dared to approach. Even though the pool was not big and they were not crowded together, they were not far apart. This was not a very pleasant experience.
Bibilly Kerry stood outside the white cloth tent with a look of struggle and disgust, but in the end he went in.
At this time, Zhan Jiu's intoxicated expression had become a little distorted. The skin on his face could be seen with the naked eye, and it suddenly cracked.
"Roar!" Zhan Jiu growled and suddenly transformed into a fish-headed monster like Draconic Twelve and Zhan Five. Scales also appeared on his body. The only difference was that the scales on Zhan Jiu's body were slightly green and looked more metallic.
After Zhan Jiu transformed, Zhan VII also suddenly transformed. His appearance was not much different from Zhan Jiu, but the green color of the scales on his body was more obvious.
After the two of them transformed, the other youths also roared and transformed.
In less than a minute, the pool that was soaking the youths turned into a pool that was soaking a bunch of monsters.
Bibilly Kerry lowered his head with a respectful look, but no one could see the fear and uncontrollable disgust in his eyes.
At that moment, the small instruments on the tubes that transfused blood into the pool lit up, and the tubes stopped transfusing blood.
The fresh water also stopped being released.
Zhan Jiu, who had transformed, roared in dissatisfaction, "More! I'm not completely satisfied yet.
"No more, or we can't guarantee that these blood animals will survive. Moreover, the physical fitness of many blood animals can't keep up now. Just like this time, this batch of blood animals needs to be nourished for at least three months before they can provide supplies for everyone again, "Bibilly Kerry shook his head and explained.
"If they can't do it, then replace them. Is there a shortage of humans in this world?" Zhan Jiu's expression was ferocious. As he roared, he revealed a mouth full of sharp teeth.
"There's no shortage of humans. But the blood of ordinary people is poor and dirty, so it's not suitable to provide you with supplies. High-quality blood animals are hard to find, and the council is also speeding up the cultivation and manufacturing. "Bibilly Kerry had a smile on his face.
"Hmph, one day I'll have blood animals above the mid-tier," Zhan Jiu said with dissatisfaction. Zhan IX spoke in dissatisfaction. His yellow eyes swept over Bibilly Kerry, but he did not ask for more blood.
Being swept by Zhan Jiu's gaze, Bibilly Kerry tried hard not to tremble.
At that moment, Zhan VII said coldly, "Zhan Jiu, enough! Are there no rules in your eyes? It's in the council's interest to recycle blood animals many times. Do you want to reduce their lifespan because of your capriciousness? If you want high-grade blood animals, then improve your strength. What are you howling for here? "
As he spoke, Zhan VII glanced at Bibilly Kerry with a comforting gaze, but in fact, it did not have any comforting effect at all. Instead, it made Bibilly Kerry more frightened.
"Don't preach to me." Zhan Jiu turned his head in dissatisfaction, and the bright red blood around him was rapidly fading.
"I'll try my best to get the Tear of the Sea God for everyone as soon as possible. In that case … "Bibilly Kerry tried to speak in a relaxed tone, not knowing if it was to ease the embarrassment or to ease the uneasiness in his heart.
"Not everyone is qualified to enjoy the Tear of the Sea God. I suggest that whoever kills Tang Ling can take away half of the Tear of the Sea God alone. " At that moment, Zhan Jiu stood up from the blood pool. A large area of blood around him had almost turned into transparent fresh water. As he spoke, he jumped up from the pool and was already standing on the edge of the pool.
The other teenagers did not dare to speak. Only Zhan Jiu replied nonchalantly, "It's true that not everyone can enjoy the Tear of the Sea God. I don't think it's a problem to take half of it. "
As if in revenge for being rebuked by Zhan Jiu just now, Zhan Jiu squatted down like a monster and looked at Zhan Jiu. "Do we need to ask Zhan Yi to make a decision?"
"If Zhan Yi kills him, we have no right to object to his decision. If we kill him, Zhan Yi will naturally not object to anything because Zhan Yi will not lack the Tear of the Sea God himself. "Zhan Jiu was not provoked at all and replied lightly.
"Hmph, flatterer." Zhan Jiu did not want to continue talking nonsense. At this time, his body twisted and returned to his human appearance. He grabbed a large towel hanging beside him and wrapped it around his body. Then, he looked at Bibilly Kerry. "Have you prepared a room to rest?"
"Because of the hurry, some wooden houses have been prepared for everyone." Bibilly Kerry was indeed very thoughtful.
"Pick a woman from the blood animals and send her to my room." Zhan Jiu grabbed his clothes and left first.
Bibilly Kerry did not say anything. Zhan Jiu looked at Zhan Jiu with a contemptuous smile and closed his eyes to continue soaking in the pool. No one knew what he was thinking.
**
Late at night.
Tang Ling had already left Sochi Island.
Even though Sochi Black Market was indeed a place worthy of nostalgia and Tang Ling still wanted more, he thought about what he had to face and shoulder in the future.
Tang Ling did not waste any time, but when he thought about what he had to face and shoulder in the future and the big job he had to do next, he did not waste any time.
When he came, Tang Ling was on a top-of-the-line single-person combat ship.
At this time, the single-person combat ship was long gone from the dock. Where it went, Tang Ling did not seem to care. He was on the deck of a large ship.
Although it was called a large ship, it could not be compared to those warships, adventure ships, or even merchant ships, but it was still a little bigger than the Harvest.
However, the Harvest felt warm and interesting, while Tang Ling's ship was a little monotonous.
Other than the huge deck, the whole ship only had a small cabin at the stern. It looked a little like the sand transport ships of the old civilization.
As for what was in the cabin below? It was nothing much, just a relatively large warehouse.
The rest of the space was used to install the power system and the weapons that Tang Ling bought from the martial arts fanatic.
However, the installation of the weapons in the cabin was a little complicated. All kinds of densely packed machinery filled almost a third of the cabin, but no weapons could be seen from above.
It was the ship and weapons that Tang Ling spent a lot of money to buy on Sochi Island.
At least from the looks of it, it was not worth the price.
However, that was Tang Ling's requirement for the ship. He wanted to simplify the unnecessary facilities as much as possible. The ship had to be sturdy but light at the same time. Most importantly, the power system had to be outstanding and it had to be faster than other ships. On top of that, it did not require special control and had a certain intelligent navigation function.
With such requirements, one could not tell from the looks of it because the valuable parts were all in the power system and the smart equipment.
As for the weapons? That was Tang Ling's secret.
It was already late at night.
The crude-looking ship was sailing at an astonishing speed, provided that the consumption of the Universal Source Stone was not taken into consideration.
Tang Ling had bought 5,000 standard units of Universal Source Stone, so he did not have to worry about the consumption of the stones. On top of that, he did not have to worry about his safety for the time being because there was a fluttering flag hanging on the ship with a huge picture of ocean currents on it.
Tang Ling bought the flag with his own money. As long as the flag was hung, it meant that the ship was a transport ship from the Ocean Current Black Market. Even if the Poseidon family wanted to search the ship, they would have to get permission from the Ocean Current Black Market.
As for the pirates, unless they were the top desperados or the madmen who did not care about anything, they would never lay their eyes on the ship.
The flag was not cheap, and it was only valid for 15 days. After 15 days, the color of the ocean current on the flag would fade, and it would lose its deterrent effect.
Nevertheless, Tang Ling did not care. 15 days was more than enough for him.
Other than that, the whole ship reeked of a special smell. It was the special smell of a Level 7 vicious beast. It was a paste that Tang Ling bought and smeared on the ship.
Although it was not a 100% effective defense against other vicious beasts, it greatly increased the safety of the ship. On top of that, the sea area was not that dangerous. At least, there was a low chance of high-level vicious beasts appearing, thus increasing the safety of the ship.
It was obvious that Tang Ling wanted a safe and high-speed voyage at his current stage, so he was willing to pay any price.
With the protection of the external environment, Tang Ling did not slack off either. It was rare for him to cultivate in peace.
However, due to the special situation, Tang Ling did not choose to cultivate normally. Instead, he spent most of his time absorbing the energy from his bones.
There were several small piles of bones on the spot where Tang Ling was sitting with his legs crossed. The bones were undoubtedly the essence of the Level 4 vicious beasts, and Tang Ling purposely chose the smaller Level 4 vicious beasts.
As he absorbed the energy, the bones shrunk at an exponential rate.
The bone armor on Tang Ling's arms was already in its complete form. It was only able to protect his forearms, but now, it could protect his entire arm.
When the arm frame was complete, Tang Ling opened his eyes. Judging from his expression, he was obviously deep in thought.
As the bones absorbed more, Tang Ling got more information from the little seed.
In the second stage, the bone armor stage. The strength of the bone armor was divided into nine stages, and each stage would increase the defense.
According to the correct method, the bone armor should cover the whole body and build up the strength of the bone armor step by step.
However, the amount of resources required was enough to make Tang Ling collapse. At least, the 200,000 bones that Tang Ling bought at his current stage were not enough to cover his whole body, but after some calculations, it could cover most of his body.
After all, the first stage consumed the least resources.
That was Tang Ling's original plan. He wanted to cover most of his body with bone armor. Coupled with the necklace he got from Zhan Wu, it would be equivalent to wearing two layers of armor. In that case, his safety would undoubtedly be greatly improved.
However, in the process of upgrading, Tang Ling suddenly thought that it might not be the most cost-effective way to upgrade his body. Another idea popped up in his mind. He was hesitant about which choice he should make.
After hesitating for two minutes, Tang Ling closed his eyes again. It seemed like he had made up his mind.
**
Another two days passed.
The teenagers' voyage was still extremely dull because none of the boats had found any resources so far.
Almost a third of the resource season had passed. The youths who should have been shrouded in an anxious atmosphere were slowly calming down. Amidst this calmness, those who were observant could sense that all the youths who were out at sea were somewhat excited. They were just suppressing this excitement.
Why was it like this? This was because a mysterious piece of news had spread. The Starlight Nether Fish had appeared, and this time, the scale of the Starlight Nether Fish was unprecedented. There were even a lot of Moonlight Nether Fish ….
What did it mean? Everyone had a clear idea of what to do.
What was more exciting was that according to the pattern, the mutated Tri-colored Sea Pearl would definitely be found in the area where the school of Starlight Nether Fish moved.
Since there was such a large school of Starlight Nether Fish, the mutated Tri-colored Sea Pearl would not be rare either.
The only question left was where were the mysterious school of Starlight Nether Fish? It seemed like the school of Starlight Nether Fish this time had completely overturned the previous pattern and became difficult to track.
Some even said that the Starlight Nether Fish's intelligence had increased and they started to know how to hide and hide.
Was it bad news? No, it was definitely not bad news for those who knew. Why?
It meant that there was a high-level existence in the school that was commanding them.
A high-level existence? The five words were enough to make people think of a lot of things.
How could people not be excited when such a piece of news spread out?
"Who was the one who spread the news?" Liszt cut the vicious beast meat on his plate expressionlessly. On his left was a glass of diluted energy liquid. Recently, he had been cultivating like a madman.
Only he and Lancaster knew about the news. Why did everyone know about it now? Was it Lancaster? No, unless Lancaster had become an idiot!
Liszt wasn't the only one who couldn't figure it out.
After Lancaster stopped practicing his regular combat skills for a day, he took a towel and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Then, he took a bottle of high-grade nutrient liquid and gulped down half of it.
"Who could it be?" Lancaster frowned when he felt a familiar stab of pain from the high-grade nutrient fluid. He did not frown because of the pain, but because he really did not know who had spread the news.
Of course, Lancaster was not a person who only knew how to think and do nothing.
In fact, he had secretly sent people to investigate the source of the news. However, the answer made him speechless because there was no fixed source. Instead, there were many sources.
"Seriously, the Poseidon Family has really …" Samuel did not finish her sentence because she was unwilling to admit that her family was going downhill.
But so what if she did not want to admit it? As the King of the Ocean, she did not even have the advantage of the news. Wasn't that a joke?
However, she could not find out because the news seemed to have exploded suddenly. There were many sources. How could she start investigating?
Thinking of this, Samuel was a little discouraged.
At this time, the smart Liszt, the quick-witted Lancaster, and the courageous Samuel all understood that they suddenly did not have any advantage.
The only way was to race against time. Whoever found the school of Starlight Nether Fish first would be able to grasp the initiative.
