Early the next morning, Lin Xiao went to find his father and asked for a piece of monster flesh. It was the tentacle of the unknown tentacle monster that he had killed last night.
This monster was not very strong. It was estimated to be no more than level 20. It was the most suitable strength for the first fusion. The strange power contained in the flesh of monsters above this level was too strong. It was not suitable for the first fusion.
This so-called level was the division of strength in this world. Every ten levels was a threshold. Every time one surpassed this threshold, their strength would increase qualitatively. Be it the monsters in this world, the Nightmare Child that had descended into this world, or even Lin Xiao and the others, the division of strength was the same.
Although this muscular tentacle had been cut off, it still retained a trace of vitality. Its size had changed from the size of a thigh to the size of an arm. The chef on the ship had sealed it in a thick metal box filled with ice. He had originally planned to ship it back to the shore and sell it.
This thing was ready-made monster flesh. It could be sold to the island lords or the major Chamber of Commerce for a good price.
After closing the door and making sure there was no one outside, Lin Xiao used the hook to take out the solid tentacle. He then opened the Rubik's Cube and opened a chaotic vortex under the tentacle to swallow it.
The half-dead tentacle instantly swelled up and wanted to break free. It was full of strength, but one end was sucked into the vortex and the other end was tightly held by the hook. It could not break free.
After all, it had been cut off from the main body, so it was still alive. After struggling for a dozen seconds, it exhausted its remaining strength and suddenly shrank back to its original state and was swallowed by the Rubik's Cube.
As soon as this thing was swallowed by the Rubik's Cube, it immediately stopped moving like a dead fish. With a thought, the illusory Rubik's Cube in the Divine Sea gently rotated. An invisible force came down and crushed the muscular tentacle into a ball of flesh and blood. Immediately, a group of small gray tentacle shadows flew out of the flesh and blood and rushed back and forth in the Rubik's Cube.
This was the residual power in the monster's flesh. Normally, it would need to be suppressed by magic potions, but it could not be completely suppressed.
But at this time, the residual power in the Rubik's Cube was fleeing in panic, as if it was facing a disaster.
Lin Xiao observed for a moment and smiled slightly. He rotated the Rubik's Cube, and the residual gray tentacle shadows were directly obliterated into dust-like gray light. Then, he rotated the Rubik's Cube a second time, and the gray light was obliterated again.
The third round.
The fourth round.
On the fifth round, the gray light had been obliterated to the size of a bacterium. If it wasn't for the fact that he was in the Magic Cube, he wouldn't have been able to sense it.
"Too tenacious!"
This was within the space of the Magic Cube. With the power of the Magic Cube, no matter what it encountered, it would be easily destroyed. This time, it had been destroyed five times in a row, but it still hadn't been completely destroyed. No wonder the people of this world could only use magic potions to suppress it and not destroy it. This fellow was too tenacious.
However, no matter how tenacious it was, it was only tenacious. It wasn't something that couldn't be destroyed. It was just a matter of a few more times.
When the Rubik's Cube rotated for the eleventh time, the gray light that had been ground to a size smaller than a bacterium was finally obliterated into nothingness. It turned into colorless dust that was invisible to the naked eye and scattered into the Rubik's Cube space.
At this time, this colorless dust speck was already a pure unknown energy. Ignoring it for now, he used the Tesseract of Good Fortune to purify the remaining flesh and blood. Then, he merged the colorless dust speck back into the Tesseract space, and then …
He used four units of Good Fortune Energy to fuse with it. This was the upper limit of Good Fortune Energy that this piece of monster flesh and blood could fuse with. Even if he fused more Good Fortune Energy, it wouldn't increase its power at all.
As a steady stream of Good Fortune Energy fused with it, the red flesh and blood began to emit a faint light. The flesh and blood began to become transparent and lustrous. An indescribable power slowly leaked out from it.
When all four units of Good Fortune Energy had fused with it, this lump of flesh and blood had turned into a lump of transparent jelly-like flesh and blood. Then …
Lin Xiao opened his mouth, and a lump of transparent liquid jelly appeared in front of him and flowed into his mouth.
The texture was like sucking on a jelly, but there was no taste. After sucking it in a few mouthfuls, Lin Xiao slowly closed his eyes.
About ten seconds later, the muscles on his chest suddenly jumped, and a fist-sized bump quickly shrank back. Then, the muscles on his shoulders and arms suddenly jumped, and then more muscles on his body kept jumping. The muscles all over his body floated up at a speed visible to the naked eye. The outline of his body became more prominent, and his body became stronger.
At the same time, Lin Xiao could feel the heat in his muscles. It was as if they were burning, and a powerful force surged out from the depths of his genes and flowed throughout his body.
This strengthening lasted for a whole hour. When he opened his eyes again, he realized that the whole world had become smaller.
No, it should be said that he had become bigger.
When he raised his head to check, he realized that his clothes had been torn apart, revealing his bulging muscles. Just his small arms had swelled several times, and his palms were thicker. He felt like he could hold a basketball or completely wrap an ordinary person's head in one hand.
When he looked at his whole body, his muscles were bulging, and he was like a super strong bodybuilder. His muscles were well-developed but not deformed. Instead, the lines were very beautiful.
At the same time, his height had also increased from about 1.8 meters to about 2.3 meters. He had grown a lot taller.
However, these were only the changes on the surface. There were also internal changes.
For example, his muscles were stronger and firmer. At the same time, he had inherited all the abilities of the tentacle.
He tried to reach out his hand and press forward. The muscles on his arm swelled several times, and his length increased several times. His arm swelled to more than three meters, and he pressed it against the door.
With a thought, the muscles on his arms and body swelled as well. In an instant, he turned into a three-meter-tall muscular giant. His strength increased several times in an instant.
And this was not the limit. Because the room was only so big, if there was enough space, he could turn into a five-meter-tall muscular giant. The longest arm could expand into a 20-meter-long muscle column. He would have great strength and high recovery ability.
He tried to use a little force, and a piece of the hard wooden table was broken off. He gently crushed it into powder.
"Very good!"
The strengthening of the first fusion with the flesh of a monster was unexpectedly large. When he obtained the flesh of a stronger monster in the future, he would definitely be stronger.
Most importantly, he did not feel any abnormalities after fusing with the monster's flesh. It was as if he had always been like this.
For the next day, he adapted to the skyrocketing strength and slowly returned to his original size.
The Explorer sailed on the sea, and its destination was the distant Pearl Island. It was a huge residential island ruled by a powerful Lord. It was also the place where they often stopped to replenish their supplies.
There was no land in this world. At least, in Lin Xiao's memory, he had never heard of the word 'continent'. Even the knowledgeable old captain had never said the word 'continent'. In their minds, the whole world was a vast and boundless sea, and the sea was densely covered with islands.
Most of the islands were full of danger. They were occupied by strange monsters, indescribable abnormalities, or non-human aliens.
Humans could only live in groups on islands with water resources, protected by powerful Lords.
In this world, the only way of transportation was by ship. However, because of the strange and evil monsters everywhere in the sea, or the terrible aliens living in the sea, maritime trade was not prosperous. Ordinary ships did not dare to leave the safety of the island and enter the sea.
The Explorer was an exploration ship. Other than occasionally making some money by trading, the most common activity was to explore the unknown in the depths of the sea, whether it was islands or other things.
This time, they had just returned from the distant sea and bought a batch of supplies on the way back to Pearl Island to make a little profit.
At this time, they were still five or six days away from Pearl Island. It was already very close, but it was not safe.
In fact, there was no safe place in this world. Even the main islands of the Lords were not safe. The strange creatures living in the sea approached the islands from time to time. Almost every few days, there was news of someone dying in an accident.
After eating, Lin Xiao took the curved sword to the deck. He was on duty today.
It was now daytime, but the sky was as dark as night. The Explorer broke through the black sea and moved forward.
There were a few sailors on the deck. They did not dare to stand up for fear of seeing something inappropriate. They only dared to hide in a groove on the deck near the ship's tower and listen to the sounds outside.
Lin Xiao walked quietly on the deck. The side of the ship was very high, about 1.5 meters. It was to prevent them from inadvertently seeing the sea outside, and also to prevent anything in the sea from seeing them.
After looking around, he did not see anything. He came to the stern deck and found a place to sit down and lie down quietly.
There were no lights on the ship. Usually, no lights would be lit for fear of attracting the strange creatures in the sea.
However, Lin Xiao could clearly see his arms. The muscles bulged according to his will. The muscles bulged like little mice under his will. It was quite interesting when he was bored.
A few hours passed unknowingly. The half-asleep Lin Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and listened. There was no other sound except for the sound of the sea hitting the hull. The ship was quiet.
He closed his eyes again and opened them a few seconds later. He stood up and walked to the bow of the ship with his curved sword.
The soft sound of his feet stepping on the deck was particularly obvious in the silent night. Lin Xiao felt his heart beating faster for some reason. He slowly walked to the bow of the ship. Out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to feel that there was a gaze watching him in the darkness outside the ship. He raised the corner of his eye and resisted the urge to look.
He took a few steps to the bow of the ship. Two of the three sailors were already asleep, and the other was leaning against the wall with half-closed eyes. When he saw him appear in front of him, he subconsciously jumped up. The two sleeping sailors woke up reflexively.
Lin Xiao sized up the three and asked, "Are there any abnormalities?"
"Is there anything unusual?"
The three of them shook their heads.
"We've always had someone awake. We didn't notice anything unusual."
Lin Xiao nodded and turned to look at the deck. There was a trace of residual sticky marks under the feet of the three. He retracted his gaze and left with his saber.
When he turned to the other side, he came to the front of the ship, pushed open the door, and entered. He took a deep breath and came to the old captain's room. He bent his fingers and tapped rhythmically.
Three light and one heavy.
Soon, there was a light and a heavy knock on the door. He knew what to do and continued to tap in the same rhythm in front of the other rooms while waiting for a response.
