"I realized that ever since other voices started appearing in my head, my body seems to have changed. It's like my body has become stronger, my strength has increased, my reflexes have increased, and my brain has become more agile. This seems to be a good sign, not as scary as the old captain said."
"But people say that abnormalities at sea are not good phenomena. Should I look for it when I come ashore …"
Suddenly, there was a piercing sound in his ears. It was like the sound of sharp nails scratching the hull of the ship.
Carl stood up immediately and picked up the curved sword beside the bed. His left hand picked up a small metal shield and put it on his left arm. He walked slowly to the door.
Through the glass porthole, he saw a dark sky outside the window. The thick black clouds and the dark sea merged together, forming a curtain of darkness that he could not see the end of.
In this world, darkness ruled everything. There was no distinction between day and night. In fact, he did not know whether it was day or night now. The thick black clouds that never dispersed all year round blocked the sunlight. As long as Carl could remember, he had never seen sunlight.
What he saw was the endless darkness that ruled this world, as well as the strange creatures and monsters hidden in the darkness.
He listened carefully. The sound came from outside the ship. He pushed the door open gently and walked out. A bone-piercing cold wind blew in his face. Suddenly, he turned around and saw that the door of the room beside him was also pushed open. A very strong man who was more than two meters tall walked out with a curved sword in each hand.
This was the captain of the ship's crew, Honas. He was an official blood source warrior.
The two of them looked at each other and nodded before slowly walking to the edge of the ship. Carl gave Honas a look and slowly stuck his head out with the shield in his left hand in front of him. The next second, his vision blurred, and he subconsciously leaned back. A muscular tentacle with four sharp bone spikes at the top brushed against the side of the ship and rushed up. Honas, who was on the side, stepped forward and crossed his two blades. An ear-piercing scream made them fall into a trance. Bright yellow liquid sprayed out, and the muscular tentacle flew up and fell into the sea.
"Behind you!"
Another muscular tentacle stretched out silently from the other side of Honas. The tip quickly expanded from the size of a thigh to the size of a basin. The four sharp bone spikes also opened up and revealed a huge mouth in the middle. It bit down at lightning speed. Carl smashed the shield on his left arm on the muscular tentacle and stabbed out with the curved sword in his right hand. The muscular tentacle quickly retracted and avoided the attack. Then, the third and fourth tentacles stretched out from the sea at the same time and expanded rapidly.
"Get down!"
The old captain's powerful roar came from behind them. Carl and Honas instinctively leaned against the side of the ship, only to see a white light flashing above their heads. Three muscular tentacles fell on them and rolled on the deck, spraying bright yellow mucus everywhere.
Then, an angry roar came from the sea outside the ship, followed by the sound of something falling into the water. The sound gradually became softer.
"Let's go."
Carl and Honas heaved a sigh of relief and turned around. Suddenly, they heard the old captain roaring behind them.
"Get down!"
The two of them shuddered and wanted to lie down, but it was too late. An invisible force descended on Carl and pulled him and Honas up at the same time.
At this time, the rest of the people on the ship had already rushed over, but they didn't dare to get close. In their eyes, the two of them were burning with a faint gray flame, as if they were being bitten and swallowed by something. It made everyone's hair stand on end.
The old captain held an exquisite machete with seven gems embedded in the hilt. One of them was already extinguished. He stared at the two people floating in the air. Suddenly, he held the hilt with both hands and slashed down. A dazzling transparent light flashed and swept across the void above the two people's heads. In an ear-piercing scream, the two people in the air fell down.
However, they didn't fall to the ground. Instead, their bodies were extremely twisted and stood in the air a few centimeters above the deck. A gray gas slowly spread out from under the two people's feet. The deck turned gray as if it had been decaying for a long time.
At the same time, Honas's hands on the right began to swell. His muscles swelled as if they were out of control. His muscles protruded and suddenly bounced up from his arms, dancing in the air like tentacles. It looked like there were many tentacles growing on his entire arm. At the same time, this change was spreading along his arms to other parts of his body.
"Blood essence is out of control!"
Everyone looked at the two people from afar with vigilance. The old captain held the machete tightly with hesitation on his face.
A one-eyed man on the side whispered,
"Sir Captain, they …"
"Shut up!"
The old captain immediately interrupted him, stared at him and said to the others,
"Don't look, don't talk, don't touch on the sea. Shut your mouths!"
He turned his head and stared at the two people who were still twisted and deformed. Small fleshy tentacles had begun to grow on their bodies. His eyes became colder and colder, and he slowly raised the machete in his hand.
At this moment, Carl's painful face on the left suddenly trembled violently. Then, his closed eyes opened, and a dazzling white light spurted out from them. A transparent wave spread from his head to his body. The body that was swept by the clear light stopped instantly and quickly returned to its original state.
The old captain who was about to swing his machete was slightly stunned when he saw this. His eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his machete to slash. The three-meter-tall machete plowed a crack along the hard deck and swept across it. Honas, whose body was twisted, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing bright yellow pupils. His two thick mutated arms were crossed in front of him.
"Pfft!"
The machete swept across and directly split Honas, who had mutated to a height of 2.5 meters, into two. Viscous yellow body fluid sprayed all over the ground.
On the other side, Carl slowly opened his eyes. His pupils were black, and a reflection of a Rubik's Cube could be vaguely seen rotating slowly. Traces of clear light spurted out from the Rubik's Cube.
He had a strange expression on his face as he slowly lowered his head to check his body. Then, he raised his head to look at the vigilant crowd. Then, he looked back at the dark sky and the sea that was shrouded in endless darkness.
He muttered, "I'm not dead?
"But my power …"
"All the divine power in the Divine Territory has been sealed. I'm just an ordinary person now.
"I can't sense the outside world, and I can't sense the main world. Am I lost?"
After checking his condition, Lin Xiao felt a faint sense of despair. He had never heard of this world before. It was completely cut off from the main world. Even if he was on the Prodigy Roll and had a closer connection with the main world than the others, he could not sense a trace of the main world's aura at all. Instead, it was …
His remaining powerful senses allowed him to sense that this world was filled with malice. He did not need to look back as he could sense the malice in the sea behind him that made his scalp tingle.
He subconsciously moved away from the edge of the ship. However, he saw that the group of people in front of him were even more vigilant. The old captain raised his machete and shouted,
"Don't come near!"
"Old Captain!"
Lin Xiao still had his memories before he woke up. He called out this familiar name with great familiarity.
Back then, he had fallen into this world and was floating on the sea. He had coincidentally encountered the old captain's ship passing by. They had thought that he was some kind of monster who had hooked him and pulled him to the shore. However, they were surprised to find that he was not a monster but a human.
Hence, he, who was homeless, was taken in by the old captain. Now, he was the second mate of the Explorer.
The old captain carefully sized up his current condition. Through the Creation Energy in the Rubik's Cube, he had removed the negative status on his body. The abnormality on his body had long disappeared, and he was no different from an ordinary person.
The old captain pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "What is the name of Ms. Jenny's current husband who lives at 254 Second Street of Pearl Island?"
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment. He recalled the few memories in his mind. Pearl Island was the main port of the Explorer. Most of the crew came from there. The old captain bought a courtyard on Second Street, and they often gathered there. 254 …
He asked curiously,
"Isn't 254 where we live? Isn't Ms. Jenny living at 255? And Ms. Jenny doesn't have a husband now. "
Everyone's expressions eased, but the old captain did not let down his guard.
He continued, "Ms. Jenny has a puppy. What is its name?"
"Rottweiler!"
"What's the chef's favorite catchphrase?"
"I'm going to chop you into minced meat."
"Very good, you're fine."
The smile on the old captain's face eased. He beckoned him over and reached out to stroke the slippery mucus on his head. He patted it gently and said,
"Child, go take a bath."
At this time, Lin Xiao had a lot of doubts and special changes. He nodded and returned to his room. Soon, a sailor brought a few buckets of water and poured it into the big bucket. He waved the sailor away and jumped in.
"Open the panel!"
With a thought, a panel that only he could see opened. It showed his current personal attribute panel:
Lin Xiao
Talent: Unknown
Level: Level 5
Attributes: Physique 2.4, Strength 2.3, Agility 1.8, Wisdom 15, Charm 6, Intelligence 3.1
Skills: None
These were his current attributes. After awakening, he directly inherited a part of his original Wisdom. Therefore, when his other attributes were only a few points, his Wisdom was as high as 15 points.
He was surprised that there was an attribute panel in this world, but what surprised him even more was the second page of the panel.
This was a mission panel. There were three missions on it. These missions were more dangerous than the previous one.
The first regular two-star mission: Kill a monster with a danger rating of two-star or above. The reward is 1 point.
The second was the first stage of the main mission: Own an exploration warship with a full crew. The reward is 5 points.
The third mission was a world-class mission: Capture an island, clear the strange monsters on the island, build a city with a population of 100,000. The reward is 300 points and a five-star authority.
Let's not talk about the mission for now. The key was, how did this thing appear on him?
Lin Xiao was very clear that he accidentally entered this world. He remembered that there were many Nightmare Warships and Nightmare Lords outside this world. He didn't know where …
"Wait!"
Lin Xiao suddenly recalled the situation when he was in the Myriad Divine Elephant. The Nightmare Overlords gathered outside the world were so similar to back then.
"Could it be, these are the elites of the Nightmare World …"
