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 huge pupils of the eyes are dark green, overflowing with a dark and indescribable feeling.

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 guò 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 markers of Hunter Mode, a miniature virtual frame appeared next to the fishman'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 light white, which is the color of the Star Hunter Covenant for "Normal Hunting Level". Comes with two little stars. It shows that the preliminary scan of the miniature modular guò shows that this fish monster is an ordinary two-star hunting difficulty. But the half-exposed back at its feet was impressively marked with four stars.

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 for the time being, not to mention that this was not a good time to inquire.

In the waves around the ship, one after another chaotic mutant creatures surfaced, with strange appearances and different sizes, but most of them resembled the fish-man who appeared at the first head, and seemed to be a small tribe. However, with the exception of the original one, none of the rest of the Deep Divers had a mount as large as the "Back", and a few only rode a few mutated giant crustaceans. The crustaceans, with their slippery eyelets the size of an adult man's arm, and wooden eyeballs the size of a human head at the top, watched silently with their owners at the two men on the side of the ship, while the rest soaked bitterly in the waves.

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 began to exhort with a shrill exhalation similar to encouragement (mainly through the highly mutated gills of guò to quickly filter the moist air to complete a whistle-like sound). 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 surpassing 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 Diver was filled with savage instinctive violence, and the blade-like hooks on the finned arms were sharp enough to tear apart the flesh and blood of humans. And those thick 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 the same size! With a jump, he stacked his weight, almost carrying a fierce impulse of more than a ton, and attacked Li Pu.

But it's just "more than a ton", and it's just a "more than a ton".

"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 furiously, raising its giant tail and slapping the ocean, splashing up a surging wave of several tons!

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, so you'd better not stick to their bodily fluids or anything like that." ”

"Don't worry, these "seafood" are so smelly, if you don't mention it, I won't stick to it at all. Chentian's heart twitched.

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 five 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 each elite special forces who can easily deal with a dozen of them. 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.

"Whew, I've been on the sea for half a month. Finally, the first wave of sea monsters came. Brad shook his hand, which was still crippling with the scraps of minced meat. Laughing cruelly.

"These are mutant monsters, you go up and tear them alive with your bare hands, and make the flesh and internal organs mess up, 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 a spartan leather armor soaked in oil. Brad showed his hands to Chen Tianxin nonchalantly, and showed off with a grin, "There is not the slightest wound, so there will be no problem with 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 infection route 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 blueprint of life. He exhaled and said, "It's okay, skin contact with body fluids should be fine." ”

"Then I'll call a few sailors to clean the deck." Brad snapped his fingers and glanced at the few still alive deepdivers, "What about these guys?" Grab them as specimens or do you get rid of them all together? ”

"Handle it for me." 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 young man who was squatting in front of the still alive Deep Diver Clan, 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 Armament located on his chest wandered out of a piece 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 would occasionally float out some "variegated particles" that only Li Pu could see among those present floating in the air, and then they were absorbed by the force field of Li Pu's palm as if they were sucking souls in the PS2 game "Ghost Warrior".

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

"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 nature of the creatures that caused the chaos mutation 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. And the more powerful the Chaos Mutant creature, the more copies and quality will be harvested. 】

"Can only Chaos mutant creatures have access to this type of material? A spirit child creature 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 monsters that are clearly marked in the "Cosmic Hunting Guide", including the chaotic mutant creatures that are tainted by the Parasitic Demon.] Chaos mutant creatures registered on the Supreme Heavenly Council's "Cosmic Species Protection Act", such as the "Chaos Sla" clan ruled by the "Divine Slacker" 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 sales are 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 ten copies of the lower-level Chaos Particles, one of the lower-level Chaos Essences can be entrusted to the Imaginary Number Bank to be refined, and ten copies of the lower-level Chaos Essences can be refined into one of the Intermediate Chaos Essences. And so on. Ten Intermediate Chaos Essence can refine one Superior Chaos Particle, and the value of the Superior Chaos Essence fluctuates around ten Star Coins. ”

"In other words, a low-level Chaos Particle is barely worth one-tenth of a stone slot? (Meteorite coin, one-tenth of the denomination of the silver star coin)" Li Pu calculated with a small abacus in his mind. Discover this--to get a copy of the high-level Chaos Essence. The number of subordinate chaos particles that need to be used to synthesize must be in the millions. It's super hard work to make a fortune from this.

But Li Pu thinks about it, too, if this is easy to earn. It is estimated that the pan-civilization commercial alliance will have a large-scale star demon breeding industry. Like a full-fledged Star Hunter monk, they don't target a creature that only produces the lowest particles.

While Li Pu was pondering the market, a sailor who was cleaning the deck suddenly shouted: "There seems to be an island ahead!" ”R1058
