The seawater split open and fell back to the surface of the sea. Suddenly, a sharp whooshing sound could be heard. The sound was like a blower with a broken blade. It lasted for a long time, and after a few seconds of exhausted gasping for breath, Maxin realized groggily that the sound was coming from his chest.
Zeus is still behind me! '
Thinking of this, Maxin crawled back to the carpet on all fours. When he turned around, he heaved a sigh of relief.
The [Aqua Plus Subtraction] that he had hurriedly cast not only hit its target, but also maintained its effect until now. Right now, Zeus looked like a man who had just fallen into the water. His head was bobbing up and down on the surface of the sea, but he could neither swim nor sink. He had no idea how much water he had swallowed, but his nostrils and mouth were foaming, and he could not utter a single word due to the gurgling seawater.
Maxin heaved a sigh of relief. He could feel the joy and disbelief coursing through his veins. He did not expect that the gamble he had made before he lost consciousness had paid off. When he looked down, he saw the mermaid's tail in his left hand and the wet bikini in his right hand falling into the water.
Under the sunlight, the chest area of the bikini had been soaked in blood and turned black.
There was only one simple reason why a female posthuman was willing to wear a bikini that barely covered her body, especially in an environment like the sea. She believed that the bikini could protect her.
Judging from the connection between the word "swimsuit" and "sea", the female posthuman might have changed into the bikini after she came here, just like the other items that Maxin had on him.
But then again, it was a stroke of luck that she managed to snatch the bikini from Zeus before she died.
[Aqua Plus Subtraction]
This is the No. 23 Special Item of the "Not Weighed Down by Skill" series. The authentic item is white in color and has the shape of a tooth. There is an anti-counterfeiting code with the number "23" in the center of the tooth socket. It is said that the Munitions Factory has mastered this counterfeiting technology. Please distinguish the authentic from the counterfeit.
Preparation before use: First, use pliers, wrenches, or steel wires to remove one of your teeth. After washing off the bloodstains, he placed item number 23 on the gums of the missing tooth. As soon as item No. 23 came into contact with the gums, it immediately stabilized. Regardless of its appearance or nature, it was like a real tooth. It was said that after the apocalypse, some people collected it as a replacement for false teeth because it would not wear or rot.
Next, please use this tooth to collect water.
Collection Method: Enter the water, get close to your target, and take a bite of the water around them. Note that the water flowing into the mouth must pass through Item No. 23. Of course, it would be difficult to avoid a single tooth. At this time, the target's "swimming ability" would be stored in Item No. 23 as a numerical value. For example, the legendary "White Stripe in the Waves" had a + 10 swimming ability, while a person who could only dog paddle for five minutes had a -10 swimming ability. It was said that if you took a bite of the water around a submarine, you would gain + 65 water skills. However, whether it was the apocalypse or not, submarines were not easy to find.
For example, the first value stored in Item No. 23 was + 10 for "White Stripe in the Waves", and the second value was -10 for "Dog Paddle". After knocking item number 23 with his upper and lower teeth, he spat the water that he sucked in on himself and gained + 10 Swimming Skill. After knocking item number 23 twice and spitting the water on the enemy, the enemy gained -10 Swimming Skill.
On the day that he lost all hope of survival, he could change the sequence. As long as he remembered the sequence of the values, he would be able to weaken the enemy, strengthen himself, or even kill himself.
Based on his past experience, the hardest part was to spit the water on the enemy, not to mention that he could not move at all. For the umpteenth time today, Maxin sighed. Perhaps he was not fated to die. Zeus had grabbed his face to stop him from moving back.
Maxin could still vividly remember that when the mouthful of warm seawater hit Zeus's palm, Zeus's huge eyes widened as if he wanted to retreat immediately, but it was too late. That was the number Maxin had collected from a drowned corpse, and it was enough to destroy Zeus's swimming ability in an instant. As soon as Maxin regained his freedom, he struggled to take off the bikini on Zeus's upper body, trying his best to resist the dizziness brought about by his blood clotting.
He was right. As soon as the bikini left his body, his head felt lighter. His blood was like a wild beast returning to the forest. It rushed into every corner of his body and pulled his brain cells back from the brink of death.
He had to admit that it was all luck.
"You're so naughty."
Suddenly, a hot breath landed on his earlobe, sending chills down his spine. "Do you like to take off our clothes?"
He did not turn around. His eyes were still fixed on Zeus, who was still struggling in the water. He was about to die. All Maxin needed to do was give him a push. But would he be able to live until then?
Perhaps it was because he had just escaped from death that he did not notice the sound behind him. But it was too late. Zeus's warm breath hit his neck in waves, giving him goosebumps. He was too close. No matter what Maxin did, he could not outrun Zeus.
"Hmm... I like good-looking men like you." Zeus chuckled. "Come and be a god with me."
As soon as Zeus's voice trailed off, Maxin closed his eyes. At the moment before death, he couldn't hear anything and couldn't think of anything. His mind was only empty and quiet.
Immediately after, a sharp and piercing sound tore through the sea breeze.
A moment later, Maxin's body slumped to the carpet like a wooden stake.
He felt a sharp pain on his face, and he opened his eyes. Only then did he realize that he was still alive. Something had bumped in between him and Zeus, knocking him to the ground and stopping Zeus from moving. Maxin glanced at Zeus, who was two steps away from him, and was about to grab him. His body went numb, and before he could get up, he rolled on the carpet and fell into the sea.
He heaved a sigh of relief as soon as he entered the water. Only then did he have the time to look back.
To his surprise, the person who saved him had only met Maxin once.
"How dare you steal my man!" The old man, whose face was covered in a thick layer of white powder, was so angry that his fingers were trembling. He strode over from behind the panda girl. "Why don't you take a good look at yourself?!"
Maxin stared at him blankly. For a moment, he could not think straight.
"Brother, are you alright?" The old man, whose nickname was "Old Woman" — it was a bit of a mouthful — peered at Maxin with concern. "The tournament is over. It's not worth it to let you die again."
Maxin had never been so close to death in his life as he was today. He had never been so close to death, yet he had also narrowly escaped death. Even though it was a good thing that he was still alive, Maxin couldn't help sighing. "It's so tiring to live like this all the time. When will this end? "
He felt his limbs turning to jelly. Just as he was about to say something, he looked up and shouted, "Watch out!"
Zeus, who was wrapped in an Arabian robe, had stood up and was already closing in on Old Woman.
Just as the old woman was about to turn around and Maxin was about to roll up the water, a tall figure suddenly appeared from the horizon and collided with Zeus, sending him flying far away. Maxin's expression changed when he saw who it was.
The person who sent the Arabian robe flying was none other than Lin Sanjiu.
There was no sound at all, but the posthumans on the carpet, including Hegel, who was fighting with Zeus, couldn't help looking in the direction where Lin Sanjiu came from. Puppeteer stepped on the carpet expressionlessly. The black leather on his body was glistening with water. The feathers on his body were wet and stuck to his arms. The water droplets slid down his arms, and the water droplets slid down his pale skin. Puppeteer was still holding Ji Shanqing in one hand. His other hand was empty. Apparently, he was the one who had thrown Lin Sanjiu back.
"You guys are here."
Puppeteer glanced at the panda girl and Old Woman through his wet hair. The latter two seemed to be terrified. Even though Zeus was standing a distance away, they still lowered their heads respectfully. Perhaps the old woman knew that Puppeteer did not like her, so she took half a step back. Riz stepped forward and greeted, "My lord."
'Do they know each other? '
"I'll leave that Zeus to you," Puppeteer said to Riz as he gestured with his chin toward the Zeus in the Arabian robe. He watched as Zeus steadied himself and was about to get up from the carpet. Suddenly, he pushed Ji Shanqing to the old woman. "Watch him for me."
Puppeteer might not have noticed it himself, but a sinister smile appeared on his face again. The old woman shuddered and quickly grabbed Ji Shanqing's shoulder. Ji Shanqing was surprisingly obedient. He did not even try to resist. His eyes were fixed on Lin Sanjiu and Zeus. His lips were trembling as he said, "You must … you must subdue my sister. Don't hurt her …"
Puppeteer ignored her and walked toward Lin Sanjiu.
"I didn't know you could run so fast."
Zeus got up from the ground. He wanted to smile at Puppeteer, but he had forgotten how to do it. The huge eyeball on his face suddenly turned, and all the black eyeballs rolled into the back of his eye sockets. "Huh? Why am I looking at everything … Oh, I should turn my head. "
The pair of black eyes turned back to the whites of his eyes. Zeus turned his head and looked around. There was a hint of panic in his calm demeanor. He looked like a robot whose processor had been destroyed by Puppeteer.
Even if Lin Sanjiu could save Zeus, would she still be the same Lin Sanjiu?
He turned to look at the trapped Zeus, and then at Ji Shanqing, who was not far away from him.
He got out of the water and walked toward the old woman from behind Puppeteer.
