Indeed, the school of fishes was being controlled.
To be precise, they were not being controlled. They were being attracted by the fatal attraction of the island. Other than the island itself, they could not care less about anything else.
Unless some kind of living being was trying to take over the island, the school of fishes would turn a blind eye to it.
The owner of the island did it on purpose, but it was not without a cost.
However, it was not without a cost. It did tell Tang Ling that the aura that was fatally alluring to the school of nether fishes would also attract other powerful existences. If Tang Ling's luck was really that bad, it would not help him control the school of nether fishes anymore. Instead, it would run away.
His luck would not be that bad.
Tang Ling calmly swam through the school of nether fishes. He did not care about the warning from the owner of the island. He was certain that what the owner of the island said would not happen because all the danger would gather in the Death Mist Zone.
It was a strange thought, and Tang Ling did not know why he was so sure about it. However, he did not care about the thought itself. What he cared about was the feeling.
Why? It was because every time he was in danger, his premonition was always a blur. It was usually anxiety, agitation, and fear, but he never had any specific thoughts. Was this the first time?
What was this premonition about? Tang Ling once thought it was a subsidiary ability of his Precise Instinct, but he was not too sure.
The only thing he was sure of was that from the night of the mutation until now, his premonition had been accurate every single time.
This time, with such a specific thought, did it mean that his premonition would grow?
Tang Ling was not sure. With a complicated feeling in his heart, Tang Ling went through the energy protection layer of the island and reached the core of the island from the blood pool with ease. He arrived in front of the giant heart.
"You're here!"
When Tang Ling stood in front of the heart, the owner of the island's voice came from it. Maybe because the owner of the island wanted to conserve every ounce of energy, he did not materialize the head projection this time.
"Mm-hmm." Tang Ling nodded and started to size up his surroundings. He was thinking about whether he could take something else with him this time.
"Do you have good news for me?" The owner of the island sounded a little anxious.
Tang Ling was not in a hurry. He sat down on the spot and took out a small video player from his pouch.
As the light of the instrument lit up, an image appeared in the void.
The scene depicted the imprisoned Sunlight Netherworld Fish.
"This is the host you chose for me?" The owner's voice was calm, and he didn't express any dissatisfaction.
"That's what I've always planned! Although it was only a Class 3 Direbeast, as long as it underwent another transformation, it would become a Class 9 Direbeast — the Galactic Galactic Scaled Dragon. I'm thinking that your energy can definitely help it complete the final transformation. That's not bad at all. It's better than parasitizing me, isn't it? "Tang Ling teased.
"If it's just an ordinary Class 3 Direbeast, I'll think you're just brushing me off. However, I didn't expect you to target the Sunlight Nether Fish … "At this point, the owner of the deserted island pondered for a while, then said," Don't think things are too simple. These Nether Fish have been bothering me, do you think I haven't thought of doing something? "
"Then why don't you do it?" Tang Ling shrugged in confusion.
"Do I still need to talk nonsense? A vicious beast's will is much stronger than you humans. Even a common Class 3 Direbeast is the same! Let alone a Nether Fish with a high-tier vicious beast bloodline! You know the weakness of my parasitism. If its will resists stubbornly, it will damage my memory and will. It might even destroy it … "
"You and I are one." Tang Ling interrupted the owner and said, "If I'm not confident, I won't do anything rash!"
"So, you're here to tell me this?" The owner of the deserted island was a little confused. Judging from Tang Ling's tone, Tang Ling did not succeed, so there was no need for him to make the trip because it would increase the risk of exposure.
"No, I'm short on resources and money," Tang Ling said casually.
"Be more direct." The owner of the deserted island did not want to waste time with Tang Ling. Even communicating like this was quite a tiring task.
"I want to take some resources from this place. Firstly, it's to perfect your host. Secondly, it's to have more money to protect myself. You know, if I can't protect myself and I die, your hope of being reborn will be dashed. "Tang Ling made it sound like it was a matter of course.
"Hmph, you sound like you have a reason." The owner of the deserted island was noncommittal. He did not agree or deny Tang Ling's request.
However, Tang Ling said seriously, "I'm not looking for a reason! This host is just a Class 3 vicious beast, so it's still a little weak.
Now, my men have ways to make it stronger and more perfect, and at the same time, they'll use certain ways to destroy its will. So, I have to take some resources from you. Common things can't do that.
"Do I need to repeat the second point? My voyage isn't over yet. I have a feeling that I'll run into some danger. "
"A feeling?" The owner of the deserted island raised his voice slightly, but it was not a mocking tone. Instead, he sounded a little surprised. "You have a feeling? Are you sure it's not your imagination or a coincidence? "
"No, my feeling has always been accurate." Tang Ling denied the owner's statement right away.
"Hmm …" The owner of the deserted island suddenly went silent.
"Do you know about this kind of feeling? Do you know anything about it? "Tang Ling was smart, so he immediately picked up on the hidden message in the owner's tone.
"All I can say is that I regret changing my mind about parasitizing you. But it doesn't matter. I'll get stronger again. "The owner of the deserted island did not even answer Tang Ling's question.
"Then, what about this feeling?" Tang Ling did not want to give up on the question because he had been thinking about it before he entered the island.
"Hmph, do you really want to know about this feeling?" The owner of the deserted island said frivolously, "Sure. After I succeed in parasitizing you, you can work hard to nurture my larvae so that I can recover my memories. I'll tell you when the time comes."
"What?" Tang Ling was speechless.
"I'll remember this promise." The owner seemed to feel a sense of achievement for being able to trick Tang Ling.
"Fine, about the resources …" Tang Ling did not linger on the feeling anymore and went back to the main point.
"Tell me what you want first. How many do you want? "the owner asked cunningly.
"I want a certain amount of Sea God's Gift. The lowest concentration will do. I also want 10 drops of Sea God's Tear. No, 20 drops will be better. On top of that, your muscles and bones, just give me whatever you want. "Tang Ling acted like he did not want much.
"Sea God's Gift? Sea God's Tear? "The owner of the deserted island was confused by the two terms.
Tang Ling did not mind explaining to the owner of the deserted island.
"Hmph, are you out of your mind? You can take 20 kilograms of the so-called Sea God's Gift. I can give you 5 drops of Sea God's Tear at most. As for the active blood essence, according to our promise, I have to leave some for my larvae. As for the muscles and bones, it's the same! You can talk about it after you fulfill your promise. "The owner of the deserted island was not a generous person either, so he rejected Tang Ling's request right away.
However, who was Tang Ling? Stingy Tang! How could he tolerate the owner of the deserted island rejecting him like that?
Therefore, the two of them had a heated argument about the amount of resources. In the end, they agreed that Tang Ling could take 50 kilograms of Sea God's Gift and 20 drops of Sea God's Tear.
As for the bones and muscles, the owner of the deserted island agreed to give Tang Ling a bone that he had picked out beforehand.
After reaching an agreement, Tang Ling took out a test tube that he had prepared beforehand and took away 20 drops of Sea God's Tear.
Tang Ling had no idea how extravagant it was. Even the important figures of the Stardust Council and the Poseidon family would only trade one or two drops of Sea God's Tear when they talked about it.
Then, the owner of the deserted island took out a thin layer of skin from somewhere and filled it with 50 kilograms of Sea God's Gift for Tang Ling.
Tang Ling picked up the layer of skin and shook it curiously. "Is this skin layer tough? The pressure at the bottom of the sea is huge! What if I explode after I get out? Where am I going to cry? I'm … "
"Shut up! This skin layer is my body's skin layer! It won't explode even if it's 10,000 meters deep in the sea. Even if you crash into something 10,000 kilograms, it'll burst! You're lucky. If you don't like it, give it back to me. You can find something else to put it in! " The owner of the deserted island was furious. When he was bargaining with Tang Ling, he had a taste of how shameless and despicable Tang Ling was. No, it had been like this since the first time they were bargaining.
He no longer had the strength to talk nonsense with Tang Ling. The best way to deal with someone like Tang Ling was to be simple and violent!
"No, no, no. I'll force myself to use it." Tang Ling acted like he was the one who suffered a loss. He quickly carried the bag full of Sea God's Gift on his back and looked at the owner of the deserted island with a pitiful gaze. "I … You promised me. Where are the other resources? Don't be too shabby! You know, my life is now your life! "
"Shut up!" The owner of the deserted island wished he could strangle Tang Ling. He shouted angrily before he went silent and fell into deep thought.
Tang Ling was not in a hurry, so he waited patiently.
Two minutes later, Tang Ling suddenly heard a slight tremor. He then realized that the tremor came from the upper left corner where he was.
Following the tremor, Tang Ling realized that it was a place that he had to pass before diving into the core area. It was a small stone wall.
Before Tang Ling could react to what was going on, the stone wall started to tremble violently. Cracks started to appear on the surface of the stone wall, followed by a series of explosions. The stone wall seemed to have been blasted open, revealing what was underneath.
Even though it was just a glimpse, Tang Ling clearly saw that there was a giant skeleton under the stone wall. Even though the skeleton was slightly petrified, he could still see the golden color of the skeleton. Purple patterns tangled around the skeleton, and the purple patterns were not messy. Instead, they formed a mystical and beautiful pattern that wrapped around the skeleton.
"This is! What kind of level does one have a skeleton like this?! " Tang Ling was calm on the surface. He knew that even though he could joke around with the owner of the deserted island, it was best not to show his greed. Some things were like a fine line that should not be crossed!
Even so, how could he hold back the astonishment in his heart?
Just like that, in less than a second, the huge petrified bone suddenly broke apart. The tip of the bone, which was about two meters long and less than half a meter in diameter, was broken off and ejected.
Then, the broken rocks were pushed back by a force and filled up the stone wall. Then, nothing could be seen anymore.
Tang Ling was a little excited. He could not wait to feel the bone.
However, the owner of the deserted island was not in a hurry to hand the bone over to Tang Ling. Instead, he controlled the bone to wash it in the slightly denser blood water at the bottom of the pond. When the density of the blood water thinned out, he slowly pulled the bone over to Tang Ling.
Throughout the process, Tang Ling clearly saw the petrified bone peeling off at a speed visible to the naked eye. It became lively and lively.
When it fell heavily under Tang Ling's feet, the whole bone had returned to normal. It looked like a freshly shaved bone.
"How is it?" The owner sounded delighted.
"That's amazing!" Tang Ling praised from the bottom of his heart. His eyes were glued to the bone, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.
The fully recovered bone was emanating a faint golden glow. It did not look like a common bone. Instead, it looked like it was forged from superalloy. The purple patterns on it were lively, and it did not look like a normal pattern anymore. Instead, it felt like it was flowing in a blink of an eye.
"It's passable. Compared to my peak condition, it's at most a tenth of its original state. " The owner of the deserted island did not forget to put on an act for Tang Ling. "I'm being very generous to you. The bone I gave you is the one with the medium strength among all the bones in my body."
"The owner is generous, the owner is handsome, and the owner is slippery …" Tang Ling replied instinctively. He knew the owner of the deserted island was being generous this time and wanted something that he could have in the future. Tang Ling's heart raced.
"What's slippery?" The owner of the deserted island was confused.
"Don't mind it. I don't know either. That's what the saying goes. "Tang Ling reached out to touch the bone, his eyes glimmering.
He was reluctant to trade the bone for resources and wanted to keep it for himself. However, it was impossible for him to do so at this stage.
"Tang Ling." It was then that the owner of the deserted island suddenly sounded serious.
"What?" When he heard the owner's tone, Tang Ling dismissed all the thoughts in his mind and became serious. He knew the owner of the deserted island must have something important to tell him.
"Whether it's the Gift of the Sea God or the so-called Tear of the Sea God, I think you know the value of it. Given how sly you are, I don't think you'll let yourself suffer a loss, "said the owner of the deserted island.
"What's sly?" Tang Ling criticized in his heart, but he did not say it out loud. Instead, he waited for the owner of the deserted island to continue.
"But do you know the value of this bone? You must not! Besides, once this bone is taken out, it will surely cause a commotion, and you'll know some secrets beforehand. Hmm, I guess I can't hide some of my secrets anymore, "reminded the owner of the deserted island. With Tang Ling's intelligence, he should know what to do.
"I'll sell this bone in the most cautious way possible. Hmm, although I don't know its value, I'm sure the auction house will give it a fair price. "Tang Ling thought for a while before answering the owner of the deserted island.
"Forget it. It's actually not that earth-shattering. After all, this is the world behind the wall. There aren't many truly powerful beings behind the wall, so it's only a small commotion. " The owner of the deserted island suddenly sounded like he had experienced the vicissitudes of life. He did not forget to mock Tang Ling, "In short, you have to know that with your current position and strength, the strongest you see and hear are far from the strongest."
"Hmm." Tang Ling was calm.
"Aren't you surprised?" This time, it was the owner of the deserted island who was slightly surprised.
"The world is so big after all! I never thought I knew a lot about the world, "Tang Ling explained calmly.
The owner of the deserted island went silent for a few seconds before he said, "Then, I won't waste my breath on you. How big is this world? Since you have such a mindset, you can take your time to understand it. I believe you'll know more this time. "
"I'm looking forward to it too." Tang Ling nodded and reached out to the bone.
However, he realized that with his current strength, even though he could swing a 10,000-kilogram hammer, he could not even lift the bone.
"Hmph …" The owner of the deserted island sneered and said, "If a little Purple Moon Warrior-to-be like you can pick up my bone so easily, won't it be embarrassing for me?"
Tang Ling was a little annoyed. "Are you trying to fool me? Don't you forget that we share the same life now! "
"I'll show you," said the owner of the deserted island. A gentle energy then enveloped the bone, and with the energy enveloping it, the purple patterns on the bone started to change in a subtle way.
More than 10 seconds later, the patterns slowly solidified.
"What does this mean?" Tang Ling was shocked and confused at the same time, but when he tried to lift the bone again, he almost tripped because he used too much strength.
The bone had become as light as a feather.
