When Li Pu and Chen Tianxin looked into the sea, the strange figure standing on their backs also looked back at them.

It's hard to tell what kind of creature this is. It was a strange creature that resembled and was distinct from a humanoid form. It had a dull, uncomfortable dead green color, a vague humanoid form, and a fish-like head with large, bulging eyes and a large mouth full of fangs that never closed. On either side of the neck, there are constantly quivering gills, webbed limbs, and high barbed ridges on the dorsal ridge. The large pupils of the eyes were dark green, overflowing with a dark and indescribable emotion.

Suddenly, a strange creature standing on a huge back, with its head held high, and two humans looking towards it. Eyes wide-eyed and small-eyed intersected.

“…… Fish monsters? Chen Tianxin said softly.

In Chen Tian's eyes, this was just a wet and slippery nuclear water monster, but in Li Pu's senses, it was a different matter. The miniature model AI, which has been maintaining the hunter mode, suddenly issued a notice:

[The first time I scanned a chaotic mutant creature at close range, it has been tagged (the species marking system has been turned on by default.] There is a chance to extract lower-level Chaos particles, is the material collection system turned on simultaneously? 】

Chaos mutant creatures, Li Pu, who heard this term through the hunter mode, took a deep breath: this is exactly what is clearly recorded in the "chaos of subspace", the most famous ability of the Sending Star Demon - using unique psionic energy to select and create subordinate clans. And the species born from this transformation all belong to chaotic mutant organisms.

After passing through the hunting marker in Hunter Mode, a miniature virtual frame appeared next to the fish-man's head on the lower spine that only Li Pu could clearly "see" - strictly speaking, it could only be fully displayed when he wanted to observe. It is marked with the basic information of this "chaotic mutant creature".

The border color of the miniature frame is white. This is the basic chromatographic marker for the Star Hunter Covenant to indicate the "Normal Hunting Grade". It shows that the miniature model has obtained through preliminary scanning, and this fish monster is an ordinary lower-level hunting difficulty. But the half-exposed back at its feet was a bright white mark.

It may be that the Star Hunter Covenant has dealt with too many Sending Star Demons and Chaos Mutant Creatures, and they have all been specially summarized into types. In terms of framework, these two Chaos mutant creatures originating from Earth are classified as [Deep Diving Clan Subspecies]. But what left Li Pu speechless the most was that its name also listed an estimate of the amount of material that could be collected: there was a chance of producing low-level Chaos Particles.

Li Pu didn't know what this so-called lower-level chaos particle was doing for the time being, not to mention that this was not a good time to inquire at this moment. In the waves around the ship, one after another chaotic mutant creatures surfaced, looking strange and large in size, but most of them resembled the fish monster that appeared at the first head, and seemed to be a small tribe. It's just that except for the original one, none of the rest of the deep-diving tribes have a huge mount like the "back", most of them are bitter and soaked in the waves, and a small number of them ride some mutated giant crustaceans. The crustaceans, with their slippery eyelets the size of an arm's arm and wooden eyeballs the size of a human head at the top, joined their owners in silence as they watched the two men on the side of the ship.

There are more than 100 deep divers and mounts that float up like ghosts from the waves. Like an inhuman pirate, they tried to surround the Seawolf from both sides.

The Seawolf's movement did not stop, but was slightly hindered by the previous impact, and the hull, driven by the internal combustion engine, quickly split the waves again and moved forward.

The cheeks of the strongest deep-diver who appeared first opened and dissatisfied, "Hea! Standing on its huge back, it leaned slightly, its frog-like legs full of cyan iron scales flexed, and its muscles were abnormally inflated, obviously trying to jump onto the boat.

Seeing its behavior, other deep-divers have shown a shrill exhortation similar to that of encouragement (mainly a whistle-like pronunciation through the highly mutated gills that quickly filter moist air). With the support of the clansmen, it jumped violently on its pimpled back, leaped several meters, first grabbed the side of the ship, and then flipped onto the deck of the Waves, only a few meters away from Li Pu and Chen Tianxin.

This leap jump shows its physical explosiveness - far superior to the Olympic champion-level high jump & long jumper!

After it, other deepdivers climbed their backs and tried to jump onto the boat. And the strongest and bravest "leader", still dripping with the smell of seawater, trampled on the steel deck with its wet lower limbs, letting out one short scream after another. Threatened, it lunged towards the nearest human.

The pounce of the leader of the Deep Divers was filled with savage instinctive violence, and the blade-like hooks on the finned arms were sharp enough to easily shred apart the flesh of a human. The pair of stout frog-like lower limbs may be more difficult to walk normally, but when jumping, they can instantly burst out with the explosive power of a toad of almost the same size. With one jump, he superimposed his own weight, almost carrying a ferocious rush of more than a thousand catties, and attacked Li Pu.

But it's just more than 1,000 catties, and it's just more than 1,000 catties that are "rough and scattered".

"I just needed a live specimen, but I was sent to the door." Li Pu's body moved, and he stepped forward directly, this deep diver was naturally a fierce and terrifying monster in the eyes of ordinary people. But in front of him......

Not even a fight.

"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, just a photo, and Li Pu slapped it on the forehead at a speed that the monster couldn't react at all, and there was no need for dark energy, only bright power to shake it up and fall on the deck.

It's just that Li Pu didn't know the endurance of this monster, in order to capture it alive, he deliberately controlled the strength and didn't knock it out, and when it fell, it actually struggled on the ground, making a short sharp sound and wanting to resist. With its high-pitched noise, dozens of deep-diving people still in the sea seemed to go crazy, scrambling to climb onto the boat. Even the back, a highly mutated whale shark, reacted violently, raising its giant tail to slap the ocean, splashing a multi-ton wave of turbulent water!

A deep diver jumped onto the deck, and before his limbs landed, he was kicked in the air by Chen Tianxin, and slammed into the other end, "Poof!" The two sounded in unison, and both fell back into the sea.

At the same time, Li Pu knocked down a deep diver. He told his adoptive mother, "These creatures may carry an unknown source of infection, and it is best not to stick to their bodily fluids or the like." ”

"Don't worry, these "seafood" are so fishy, if you don't mention it, I won't touch it at all. Chentian's heart was the first to say.

At this moment, the four "Transformation Knights" in charge of security also joined the battle with military firearms. Not long after returning to the cabin, Brad simply carried an assault rifle full of steel-core bullets in his left and right hands. Run straight to the side of the boat and dump the bullets downward. After the bullet is finished, he flicks his fingers with both hands, and directly stages a hand-torn fish monster.

The difference in power between the two sides is so great that this subspecies of deep divers may be able to attack a commercial steamer or a large cruise ship full of ordinary guests. But the three people on board the Seawolf are strong opponents for every elite special forces who can easily deal with a dozen. Coupled with the four "Transformation Knights" and enough munitions, as long as the ship does not sink, there is no chance of winning ten times as many deep dives.

The one-sided battle didn't last long, and after leaving behind a dozen corpses, the deep-divers watched the Seawolf fly away.

"Phew, after walking around the sea for half a month, the first wave of sea monsters finally came, but this strength is stronger than that of Somali pirates." Brad shook his hand, which was still carrying the scraps of minced meat. Laughing cruelly.

"These are all mutant monsters, you go up empty-handed to play and tear alive, and mess up the flesh and internal organs, aren't you afraid of being infected." Chen Tianxin glanced at him and couldn't help but sigh.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Tianxin. But you know, the skin on my hands is several times older than oil-soaked Spartan leather armor. Brad grinned and showed his well-tempered palms to Chen Tianxin, and said nonchalantly: "There is not the slightest wound, so there will be no problem of infection." ”

“…… Do you think it's a zombie movie, as long as you don't get bitten, it's fine? Chen Tianxin estimated that eighty percent of Brad's knowledge about the route of infection came from various B-grade horror movies, and he said angrily: "If you show signs of mutation, I will be very happy to kill you." ”

Li Pu half-crouched down and gently touched the terrible wound of a corpse with his fingers. After a few seconds, he didn't hear any warning from the Life Blueprint Monitor. Exhaled and said, "It's okay, it's just that the skin should be fine in contact with body fluids." ”

"Then I'll call a few sailors to clean the deck." Brad snapped his fingers and glanced at the leader of the fish monster who was the first to get on the boat but was still alive, "What about this guy?" Grab them as specimens or do you get rid of them all together? ”

"I'll take care of it." Li Pu pondered for a moment and decided.

At Brad's shout, several hired seamen crawled out of the cabin tremblingly, and saw the corpses of fish monsters on the deck, all of which were about to go limp. When they found the Chinese teenager squatting indifferently in front of the deep diver who was still struggling, their eyes revealed a hint of awe.

Li Pu didn't care about the mood of these seafarers, his attention was all on one thing.

At the beginning of the battle, he had already turned on the "Material Collection System" as prompted by the AI of the Fighting God Armament Service. The two-dimensional symbol of the Fighting God Weapon located on his chest wandered out of part and reached the palms of his hands, forming an extremely thin special force field. And at the moment when he killed these "chaotic mutant creatures", that is, the deep divers, their corpses occasionally floated out some "variegated particles" that only Li Pu could see among those present floating in the air, and then they were all absorbed by the force field in Li Pu's palm as if they were sucking souls in the PS2 game "Ghost Warrior".

[Seven subordinate chaos particles of the basic unit have been collected, and they are temporarily stored in the imaginary material space under the user name.] Users may sell such materials, have a uniform purchase price list for the Imaginary Bank, or use them through a material enhancement system. 】

"Seven Subordinate Chaos Particles? Is it only available by killing Chaos mutant creatures? Li Pu asked the service AI.

[Killing is the easiest way to deal with it.] At the time of death, the subspace essence of a chaotic mutant organism is most easily stripped away. And this essence is a common consumable item for a series of subspace spiritual energy cultivators, such as Chaos Spiritual Energy, Void Spiritual Energy, and Shadow Spiritual Energy. It is also one of the basic materials used to strengthen and craft various psionic equipment. The more powerful the Chaos Mutant creature, the better the number and quality of the harvest. 】

"Can only Chaos mutant creatures have access to this type of material? Spirit-child creatures like Prince Shar Shago must be similar, right? Uh, I'm just asking. Li Pu said on a whim.

[Yes, but the legal collection of materials is limited to the species clearly marked in the latest version of the "Cosmic Hunting Guide", including creatures that produce chaotic mutations under the chaos pollution of the Parasitic Demon.] Chaos mutant creatures registered on the Supreme Heavenly Council's "Pan-Dimensional Species Protection Act", such as the "Chaos Slatoad" ruled by the "Divine Slath" Zatgua, are also not allowed to hunt for materials. 】

"Understood. What is the value of this Subordinate Chaos Particle? Li Pu asked expectantly. If the market is good, you may be able to make a lot of money by trading on this - this is a sea full of chaotic mutant creatures!

"For every hundred servings of lower-level chaos particles, one of the lower-level chaos essences can be refined. The value of the lower-level Chaos Essence fluctuates around ten Silver Star Coins. ”

"In other words, a low-level chaos particle is barely worth a stone slot? (Meteorite coin, one-tenth of the denomination of the silver star coin)" Li Pu estimated it with a small abacus in his mind. I found that trying to make a fortune by collecting this is really hard work.

However, Li Pu thought about it: if this line of business is easy to make, there are not a few expansion realm civilizations with strong combat power in the pan-civilization business alliance, and it is estimated that there will be a large-scale star demon breeding industry. Monks like the official Star Hunters don't target creatures that only have a chance to produce the lowest particles.

"I'll collect it when I have the opportunity in the future, anyway, by the way. At the very least, it can also be used to assist in the refining and strengthening of psionic energy. Li Pu thought for a moment and turned to look at the fish monster in front of him, "What kind of marine species are you?" In just five years, a legendary monster from beyond the sky can twist you into such a monster, how many human fishing boats have you attacked in this way? My friend won't just be attacked by you. It's unlikely, he's so good at it, and a hundred pieces of seafood like you are just a warm-up. Unless he falls into the water......"

"Click! Click! The fish monster bit its upper and lower jaws, which were full of sharp teeth, but its spine had been shaken off by Li Pu in the previous battle, and it could no longer make the same ferocious culling action as before.

"If you hadn't become like this, maybe one day it would have become a human meal, made into canned fish and stuff." Li Pu suddenly laughed, then pressed his hand on the fish monster's bony skull, and vomited vigorously.

“…… Now, I don't even have the basic function of being an ingredient. ”

The boy slept until dawn. The next morning, he was having breakfast with his aunt in the cabin when there was a quick knock at the door.

As soon as he opened the door, a seafarer standing outside immediately reported: "An island has been found about three nautical miles ahead!" It's an unknown island that is not marked on the chart! ”
