Chapter 583: The Original Sin of Greed
What did Tang Ling see inside the rock?
Simply put, a rock like no other! This rock has a dark red color, like cured meat that people store.
And it's vivid, with the texture of muscles.
If it were someone else, most of them wouldn't think much about it? Isn't a rock that looks weird also a rock? In addition, in terms of probability, it is very unlikely that someone else will find this rock.
But Tang Ling had some kind of guess from the moment he landed on the island, and all his previous actions were also deliberate, he didn't think that the rock in front of him was just a strange shape.
So, he reached out and touched it.
It was still a hard and cold touch, but because of the precise instinct, Tang Ling could feel that this touch was a little different from the real rock.
"That's true." Tang Ling was underwater at this time, his gaze became complicated, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
But at this moment, bursts of wild laughter came from above the water, and then passed into Tang Ling's ears through the pool water, which seemed a little unreal.
Tang Ling looked up, and sure enough, he saw a figure squatting on the edge of the pool of blood laughing wildly.
The underwater vision was a little blurry, and Tang Ling couldn't see clearly what the person looked like. However, the person who came seemed to know Tang Ling's appearance, and after laughing arrogantly, he shouted at Tang Ling under the water: "Tsk, the early birds have worms!" Lao Tzu came to kill you, but I found so many gifts from the sea god.... Tang Ling, you are really my lucky star. ”
Tang Ling didn't speak underwater, but began to swim quickly upward.
As if he saw Tang Ling's intentions, the person who came suddenly punched towards the water.
His strength was very great, at least stronger than the five battles that Tang Ling had fought, so this punch hit the water, and the quiet pool of water suddenly set off huge waves, and a strong force slammed into Tang Ling.
In the water, Tang Ling was very passive.
The people who are on the edge of the pool can attack him with recklessness, but it is difficult for him to attack the people on the side of the pool.
Moreover, his ability to move in the water was definitely not comparable to that on land, and in the face of such an attack, Tang Ling could only dodge in embarrassment.
"You're going to keep me underwater until you die." The person who came was not carried away by the excitement, but knew very well that if he wanted to kill Tang Ling with less effort, it was best to trap Tang Ling in the water.
As he spoke, he had already punched frantically towards the pool of water and continued to attack. He was very cunning, and every time he attacked, he would change places, and Tang Ling couldn't accurately capture his location in the water.
But that's not the worst problem.
The worst thing is that even if Tang Ling's physique is good, he is not like some members of the Poseidon family, who have evolved 'gills' and can breathe in water.
If it drags on like this, the lack of oxygen will make Tang Ling have various symptoms and then die.
This simple truth, Tang Ling understands, and people who come also understand.
Therefore, the attacks of the people who came were very intensive, he didn't seem to have the luxury of being able to kill Tang Ling so easily, all his attack rhythms were just to trap Tang Ling in the water.
Is Tang Ling panicking? He seemed to be a little panicked.
After all, the dilemma in the water is not broken, and it is difficult for him to take the initiative. And like this situation want to break the game? There is no other way but to go up against the attack....
But if it is attacked, the consequences are obvious.
Tang Ling seemed to be struggling in his heart, but the effect of the lack of oxygen had already appeared, and Tang Ling's movements became sluggish.
However, he was still embarrassed to dodge the attack force of the incoming people.
It's just that once there is a lack of oxygen, it is an irreversible process. Dodged once, what about the second time, the third time? Tang Ling's actions will only get slower and slower....
What's worse is that the person who came also seemed to be very sensitive, and he had already noticed that Tang Ling's actions were not as good as before, and the attacks had become more frequent and intensive.
Tang Ling couldn't hesitate anymore at this time.
So Tang Ling gritted his teeth and rushed towards the water. Discovering Tang Ling's attempt, the person who came was unceremonious, and even directly used his combat skills to attack Tang Ling.
Tang Ling didn't know what this combat skill was? It's just that after seeing the power enter the water, it turned into a colorless and transparent big knife, and slashed directly at Tang Ling....
Tang Ling knew that he couldn't resist this attack, so he could only dodge in embarrassment.
How can someone be willing to give up the advantage they have already achieved so easily? At the moment when Tang Ling dodged, another battle skill slashed in the direction of Tang Ling's dodge...
The short distance of less than ten meters was like the distance between hell and the world, Tang Ling struggled desperately in it, but the limited space and the lack of oxygen in the brain made it difficult to dodge.
Tang Ling was inevitably injured, it seemed that the injury was still very serious, and bright red blood flowed out of his body, and it was soon mixed with the blood-colored pool of water.
Seeing Tang Ling's blood, the person who came seemed to be very excited, and he was still in a mood to laugh arrogantly after spending so much strength to stop Tang Ling.
Maybe it was already a doomed thing to see Tang Ling rushing out of the water, and in the laughter, the person who came seemed to be serious.
He didn't talk too much nonsense, and the shadows of several chains appeared next to his body, and these chains were like living, and they stabbed directly towards Tang Ling in the water.
Tang Ling's situation at this time looked very bad, at least there were several rolled wounds on his flesh, and his movements were even slower than before.
Even if he has a superhuman physique, he has to make drastic movements in the case of hypoxia, which can only aggravate his hypoxia....
In comparison, Tang Ling, the combat skill of the people who came before, had a hard time dodging, and he would be hit by all kinds of hits, not to mention the chain that was five points faster than this combat skill?
Tang Ling had no reason to hide, and the sharp heads of the four chains undoubtedly penetrated Tang Ling's body and restrained Tang Ling.
Fortunately, at this time, Tang Ling did not completely lose his combat effectiveness, but still subconsciously dodged, and the place where the chain penetrated was not critical, nor did it hurt the internal organs.
'Bang la la', with the sound of breaking water, Tang Ling finally surfaced.
But does it matter? It doesn't matter anymore!
At this time, his situation is no different from that of a fish caught by a fishhook, and even if it surfaces, it is firmly controlled.
Blood-colored droplets of water fell from Tang Ling's hair, and the wound pierced by the chains was still gurgling with blood.
After confronting the visitor for so long, Tang Ling finally saw the face of the visitor clearly.
With silver-white hair standing on end, he was wearing a leather coat with chains wrapped around it, and the whole person exuded an arrogant and wild momentum.
If Tang Ling was familiar with the first line of battle words, he would definitely be able to recognize that this was the best of the first line of war words - Battle Nine.
It's a pity that Tang Ling didn't know anything, his expression showed a hint of panic, he gasped heavily, grabbed a chain that passed through some of his collarbones with his hand, and began to struggle desperately, as if trying to pull the chain out of the flesh.
Zhan Jiu saw this, just like he had seen the funniest thing in the world, he smiled hideously, threw out a dog-legged knife with a brush in his left hand, and then pulled Tang Ling towards him with a force.
Originally, this was not the most ideal plan, it was dangerous to draw the enemy closer to him, but Zhan Jiu could feel Tang Ling's subtle changes in strength from the chains, lack of oxygen, injury, struggle.... The strength that Tang Ling showed at this time was inferior to that of an ordinary quasi-Purple Moon warrior.
Moreover, the superficial insolence is only the protective color of Zhan Jiu. He's as careful as a hair.... From the beginning when he found Tang Ling in the pool to every detail of Tang Ling being controlled by chains, he was carefully recalling it, and there were no flaws.
What's more, Tang Ling was controlled by chains!
So Zhan Jiu chose to do so.
What is the purpose? It's very simple, Zhan Jiu wants Tang Ling's blood.
This is an attractive thing for him! Think about it, Tang Ling's blood, this temptation is not much better than the tears of the sea god.
But as soon as Tang Ling died, the blood would lose its effect, because the chance of life in it would disappear in an instant.
But if Tang Ling is alive....
As if predicting his fate, Tang Ling showed a trace of shock when he was pulled by Zhan Jiu, and then began to struggle with fear, not wanting to be pulled to Zhan Jiu.
"Who are you? Why kill me? In the struggle, Tang Ling began to roar unwillingly.
"Hehe, hahaha...."Faced with Tang Ling's question, Zhan Jiu didn't answer at all, but laughed more and more like a pervert.
Does struggling work?
The struggle was useless, and Tang Ling was horrified to find that the chains that Zhan Jiu had pierced into his body were like living creatures, and they began to sprout roots, taking root in his body, hooking his flesh and bones.
"What's this weird thing?" Tang Ling began to scream in horror, as if the dying man had shown his last strength, and the struggle became fierce.
"You found out?" Zhan Jiu's tone was smug, since Tang Ling was struggling desperately, he didn't bother to waste his strength, so he simply didn't pull Tang Ling and let Tang Ling struggle in the pool.
"What the hell? Why would it..."Tang Ling's eyes widened in horror, but he didn't finish his words, because he couldn't believe that the chains rooted in his body were actually absorbing his energy bit by bit.
"I advise you not to struggle, because the more you struggle, the faster it will absorb. Controlled by my chains, there is no way to break free unless there is a strong force to break it. Zhan Jiu's eyes flashed with a smug light, this was the reason why he dared to capture Tang Ling alive, and it was also the reason why he wanted to get ahead of everyone else and quietly set off overnight to find Tang Ling!
Because only he can control Tang Ling, which means that he is alive to control!
And he, who is desperate for blood, how can he be willing to be a piece of such a good deed by others?
Now the facts have proved that Zhan Jiu was right, he set off overnight without telling everyone, not only completely realizing the idea in his heart, but also discovering a whole pool of 'Gift of the Sea God'.
Now Zhan Jiu is only worried about how he wants to monopolize these things! But don't worry too much, presumably those fools, including Zhan Qi, only replenished it once yesterday, and only woke up lazily at this time, right?
He's got plenty of time to figure it out.
Thinking of these, Zhan Jiu became more and more proud! And Tang Ling, who was in a panic, began to struggle violently again in the pool, and roared: "I don't believe it. ”
"Hmph." Zhan Jiu just sneered, he believed that the facts would soon teach Tang Ling a profound lesson.
Sure enough, after struggling for less than ten seconds, Tang Ling looked at Zhan Jiu in despair and fear, he didn't dare to move, and floated in the water in a daze, as if he was in a dream.
There was a mocking smile on the corner of Zhan Jiu's mouth, every time he enjoyed the enemy being pierced by chains, this moment of despair, now that the famous Tang Ling was controlled, the satisfaction in his heart was simply indescribable.
"It's all luck." Zhan Jiu began to tighten his chains, continuing to pull Tang Ling, who was desperate in the pool of blood. And he attributed everything to luck in order to prevent himself from getting carried away and capsizing in the gutter.
And there's some element of luck to the whole thing, isn't it?
The more he thought about it, the more Zhan Jiu cautiously observed Tang Ling, and during the whole process, Tang Ling didn't have any abnormalities, his eyes were empty and numb, and there was a look of disbelief on his face, as if he couldn't believe that he had been caught like this.
The pool of blood was not big, but in less than ten seconds, Tang Ling was pulled to the shore.
But at this moment, Zhan Jiu vigilantly retreated a few steps, while Tang Ling was lying on the edge of the waterhole without any reaction, and his lower body was still in the water.
In the face of such Tang Ling, Zhan Jiu did not relax in the slightest, his eyes kept rolling to observe Tang Ling.
And his heart was struggling violently, whether to let the chains drain Tang Ling's energy and then pass, or to say....
Thinking about it, Zhan Jiu still passed cautiously, he really couldn't resist the huge temptation in front of him, and the risk of being discovered by other Zhan Zi lineages would increase exponentially if he was delayed.
In addition, even if he really fought, he was not necessarily afraid of Tang Ling, let alone Tang Ling, who was injured and controlled by chains?
"Oh, what a sin is greed." While thinking like this, Zhan Jiu was already standing in front of Tang Ling, less than half a meter away from Tang Ling.
Tang Ling was still motionless, but Zhan Jiu couldn't wait, his idea was very simple, scrap Tang Ling's limbs, break his spine, and make Tang Ling completely incapacitated, so that he would no longer have to worry.
And Zhan Jiu is not a person who procrastinates, it is impossible to give the enemy too much respite, thinking that with a shake of his hand, the dog-headed knife in his hand has already turned in one direction, and the handle of the knife slammed down towards Tang Ling's arm.
Only bones are the slowest to recover, aren't they?
Zhan Jiu is not worried about this dog-headed knife smashing Tang Ling's arm, after all, it is a knife made of S-grade alloy, and the weight has reached 1,000 kilograms, how can there be any reason to smash the arm?
Zhan Jiu's knife handle fell fiercely, and he seemed to have seen the despair and pain after Tang Ling's arm was broken!
But when the handle fell, the expected breaking sound did not sound, but there was a sound of hard objects colliding, and there was a huge anti-shock force!
What's wrong? Zhan Jiu subconsciously glanced at Tang Ling's arm, only to find that Tang Ling's arm had been covered with a layer of white armor at some point, and the armor had faint black lines.
This armor is so exquisite, streamlined, and tightly attached to Tang Ling's arm...
What happened? Zhan Jiu was a little confused, because what he knew, the information about Tang Ling did not mention that Tang Ling had such armor?!
However, Zhan Jiu's reaction was not unpleasant, in just a moment, after seeing Tang Ling's arm armor clearly, he immediately thought of retreating towards the rear.
But Tang Ling's reaction seemed to be faster, he just moved his hand slightly, and a long sword about one meter long immediately popped out of his hand.
This sword is even more beautiful than the white armor, the dark black sword body, there are pieces of red light spots on the sword body like meteors in the sky, a deep jagged blood groove makes the whole sword full of momentum, and in the upper center of the sword body, there is a row of barbs....
Zhan Jiu's eyes were good, but the moment Tang Ling took out the sword, he saw the sword clearly, but what if he saw it clearly? The sword stabbed into his thigh at great speed.
After all, the distance between him and Tang Ling was less than one meter, and the length of this sword body was one meter!
"You're looking for death!" Zhan Jiu was furious, he wondered if he had been cheated by someone? Why was all the information about Tang Ling given to him wrong?
Why does Tang Ling have armor protection? Isn't Tang Ling's sword a short sword? How did it become such a long sword?
Even so, Zhan Jiu is not a person who will let anger affect the battle, since he didn't get out in time and was stabbed by Tang Ling, it doesn't mean that the advantage is gone.
Compared to Tang Ling, he was only slightly injured, and he could still fight with Tang Ling openly, not to mention that his chains had already controlled Tang Ling.
With the sentence 'You are looking for death', more chains had already floated on Zhan Jiu's body, and he attacked towards Tang Ling.
At such a close distance, he wanted to see how Tang Ling dodged? Is it possible to avoid his chains in all directions with a subtle body?
Moreover, Zhan Jiu began to urge his own energy, causing all the chains to turn into a rusty red color, and the chains at this time were already corrosive.
Obviously, Zhan Jiu had already given up Tang Ling's tempting blood, and it was better to kill Tang Ling directly in this situation!
But Tang Ling didn't need to dodge, his limbs and chest were already firmly protected by bone armor!
In the face of Zhan Jiu's attack, Tang Ling only jumped high, although he couldn't dodge the two chains that attacked towards his legs, but the bone armor with the armor protection ability of the second-order Purple Moon Warrior was not so easy to penetrate.
As long as you can resist for a moment, that's enough!
While Tang Ling jumped up, he had already held the high-energy blaster in his hand, and he pointed at Zhan Jiu!
Zhan Jiu felt a huge danger at this time, and the next moment he saw the gun in Tang Ling's hand....
He subconsciously turned around and wanted to run, but his thigh was stabbed by the blood pu sword, and there was a barb on the sword, it was not so easy to pull it out, not to mention that the hilt of the sword was still in Tang Ling's hand.
It's too late! Zhan Jiu only had this thought in his mind at this time, and even the chains he pierced Tang Ling's body became an obstacle to his escape.
Will Tang Ling hesitate? Never!
He shot decisively, hitting the heart of Zhan Jiu! With the sound of a gunshot, Zhan Jiu covered his heart, and he didn't have time to say half a word, just glanced at Tang Ling, and fell to the ground....
Zhan Jiu was cleaned up like this? Obviously impossible! The last time he looked at Tang Ling, he was also full of resentment and anger....
Of course, Tang Ling understood that it would only take a short time for Zhan Jiu to become another creature, and he certainly had the confidence to look at himself like this.
It's a pity that this secret has been exposed by the previous War Five...
So Zhan Jiu was destined to have no such opportunity, after Tang Ling landed, he directly pulled out the Blood Pu Sword from Zhan Jiu's thigh, and then raised the sword in his hand and fell, directly cutting off Zhan Jiu's head...
This is also one thing that Tang Ling has always wanted to experiment, that is, after the heads of these monsters are cut off, or after the brain is devastated, will they still transform?
This kind of thing requires at least two or more monsters to experiment. Tang Ling is still a pity, he has no way to experiment, he may have to face a large group of monsters. But he didn't expect to send a battle nine on this strange island.
'Gollum', as Zhan Jiu's head was cut off, Tang Ling quickly kicked it aside, out of caution, Tang Ling knelt directly on one knee on Zhan Jiu's corpse, and the high-energy explosive gun was dead against Zhan Jiu's chest to the left.
That was what Tang Ling found after dissecting Zhan Wu's corpse, and the hearts of these monsters were in this location!
After preparing for all this, Tang Ling was still a little nervous, not because this monster could turn the tables, but because the result of the experiment was related to a very important thing in Tang Ling's plan.
After waiting for a minute, Zhan Jiu's corpse suddenly shook, and then began to swell uncontrollably, turning into a monster in just a few seconds.
But unexpectedly, Zhan Jiu's corpse did not come back to life after it was transformed.
Tang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his face, knowing that when Zhan Jiu's corpse transformed just now, he couldn't help but shoot several times.
That makes it difficult to judge the true result.
Fortunately, he couldn't help it, Tang Ling put away the high-energy blaster gun, glanced at Zhan Jiu's corpse, leaned against a tree, gasped slightly, and then ripped off the chains that pierced his body one by one.
Tang Ling never worried about the chain from beginning to end, he understood a truth very well, the owner who used the chain died, and the chain would have no effect! After all, the various functions of the chain are just a change in energy attack.
In fact, not only did Tang Ling not worry about the chains, he didn't even worry much about Zhan Jiu at the beginning.
All these coincidences made Zhan Jiu take advantage of Tang Ling's deliberate design.
Why? It was because Tang Ling didn't want to spend his strength fighting Zhan Jiu, but only wanted to use the high-energy blaster to kill Zhan Jiu to the greatest extent, which met Tang Ling's needs.
After all, what exactly is 20 meters underwater? What will happen? Tang Ling didn't know the bottom in his heart, so retaining his combat effectiveness was the best choice.
In addition, even if the combat power can be restored, it will take time. Tang Ling couldn't afford to spend this time, especially after Zhan Jiu appeared, it was a big wake-up call for him, maybe everything wouldn't come according to his plan, he had to rush for time.
In fact, when Zhan Jiu went to the island and approached here, Tang Ling had a strong warning in his heart.
And by that time, Tang Ling already knew that the danger didn't come from underwater! At least above 20 meters deep, there would be no danger, otherwise the three Blood Sword brothers would have died a hundred times.
He could have surfaced at that time.
But it was because he had made up his mind to retain the strongest combat power and only used high-energy blaster guns that Tang Ling deliberately left underwater.
He wants to confuse the enemy and create a chance for himself to be killed with one shot.
Then it is possible to create this opportunity only by giving the enemy a huge advantage and putting yourself at a disadvantage.
In this way, what could be more convincing than being ignorant under water? Moreover, he also has the advantage that the person who comes does not know how long he has been underwater, and he can completely disguise himself as hypoxic.
Thinking about it, Tang Ling took out a thing the same size as his teeth from his mouth.
Don't look at this small thing, it actually cost Tang Ling a full three hundred Zhengjing coins. After all, it's also a super-tech product.
So what is it? It's an underwater scuba apparatus.
It itself is not as mysterious as its name, it can allow people to breathe underwater, but after being loaded with a universal energy stone, it can release a certain amount of oxygen, which allows people to prolong the time of underwater activities.
To put it bluntly, it's like an oxygen tank on the back of a former civilized diver. But because it's a super technology product, it's much smaller and more refined...
Tang Ling wanted to explore the Blood Pool here, how could he not prepare such a thing with his caution?
Zhan Jiu is actually much more powerful than Zhan Wu, but he was killed by a single shot like this, and he was a little aggrieved when he thought about it.
As planned, Tang Ling didn't expend any strength at all, just achieved his goal with a proper disguise.
If you want to say that the only thing that was unplanned was that Tang Ling was going to shoot as soon as he surfaced, that was the most appropriate time.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhan Jiu would want to pull him ashore. Therefore, at that time, Tang Ling was a little surprised.
But he was definitely happy to cooperate with Zhan Jiu, because being able to get close to Zhan Jiu, all plans would be more certain, so Tang Ling didn't care about waiting for so long.
Although I don't know why Zhan Jiu did this? But with Tang Ling's cleverness, he quickly came up with the answer - it was nothing more than greed.
And what is there about himself that makes him greedy? Tang Ling didn't think much about this question, and he didn't have time to think about it.
The effect of the cell repair potion was amazing, and with Tang Ling's strong physique, the scars on his body were soon scarred.
Tang Ling stood up, and did not rush to move Zhan Jiu's corpse, if there was enough time, he would still want to study it, but the top priority now was to figure out everything about this strange island.
After all, what was under the rocks was almost about to confirm Tang Ling's guess, but Tang Ling still had to dive into the waterhole 20 meters below to find the final answer.
Thinking about it, Tang Ling threw the underwater breathing apparatus into his mouth again.
Once again, he came to the side of the blood pool with the Blood Pu Sword and a high-energy blaster gun, and jumped directly into the water.
