Chapter 3: The Spirit of the Tiger Jiao: Tyrant!
Yan Jing is recognized as the first snorkel on board.
But he had never tried to go into the sea in a storm, let alone fight the ghost-faced fish in such a situation.
From the moment he was dragged out of the fishing boat by his tentacles, Yan Jing knew that if he wanted to live, he had to completely let go!
Icy waters are surging in from all directions.
Yan Jing closed his eyes, embed the scales he grasped in his left hand into the flesh and blood of his palm, and forcibly hung them on the back of the ghost-faced fish.
Letting go at this time is equivalent to putting yourself in the middle of a stormy wave.
Regardless of whether or not he could save himself, in the face of the ghost-faced fish that could launch a second attack at any time, Yan Jing's death was only a matter of time.
You only get one chance.
Kill the Ghost Face Fish and live!
The straight knife stabbed into the back of the ghost-faced fish, and the wrist swung back and forth, doing everything possible to widen the wound and let the blade sink a few more inches.
Unsurprisingly, the Ghost-faced Fish in severe pain chose to dive deep, wanting to rush away from Yan Jing with the violent currents or simply suffocate him to death.
It's a race to the death.
Yan Jing must kill the ghost-faced fish before he drowns, or else he will be buried at the bottom of the sea!
The vision fell into darkness, and Yan Jing soon couldn't even see his palm, so he could only rely on instinct to continue to stir the blade.
The ghost-faced fish's blood mixed with minced flesh spilled over Yan Jing's body, and every time he turned his knife, he could inflict great damage on the former.
But there will come a time when manpower will run out.
The battered ghost-faced fish relied on its huge size to dive tens of meters deep in a very short time.
This distance was already close to the limit of human beings, and even if Yan Jing tried his best, it was impossible for him to ignore the pressure of the water around him.
His physical strength was rapidly draining, and the movement of Yan Jing's right hand gradually slowed down, and the long-term lack of oxygen made his brain gradually dizzy.
In a trance.
The darkness faded before my eyes.
Yan Jing half-opened his eyes and saw the giant shipwreck that broke in the middle not far ahead, as well as hundreds of gray-white light clusters cruising around the wreck, which looked a little like the resentful spirits that had possessed those corpses before.
Sensing that the ghost-faced fish was swimming towards the sunken ship, Yan Jing couldn't help but despair.
I'm afraid this is the nest of this strange fish!
As Yan Jing's eyes turned black, the offensive at hand stalled for a while, and the ghost-faced fish also drilled into the sunken ship at this time.
Extremely seriously injured, it didn't care about throwing Yan Jing off at this time, but instinctively began to heal itself.
At the same time, the dying Yan Jing felt that his spirit was somewhat uplifted, and his strength had recovered a little.
Back to light.
It was also at this time that Yan Jing noticed another ball of light near where the ghost-faced fish was docked.
It was a very different corpse from the drowned corpses of the Wa Kingdom that I had seen before.
This corpse was not wearing any armor, but it was surrounded by several arms of thin chains, and his skin and flesh had long been devoured by fish and shrimp, but the skeleton that was nearly two meters high still standing.
More importantly, there seemed to be something in the chest of this skeleton, and the light that I had seen earlier was coming out of it......
Give it a go!
Knowing that it was impossible to keep him alive by ordinary means, Yan Jing let go of his grip on the scales and the hilt of the knife, and pressed his feet on the back of the ghost-faced fish to borrow strength, squeezing the last bit of strength brought by the reflection of the light, and went straight to the position of the skeleton.
The difference between the two was only a few meters, but Yan Jing's movements were also seen by the ghost-faced fish behind him, and he once again manipulated his tentacles to wrap around Yan Jing's legs and pull him back.
Looking at the skeleton in front of him, which was only half a step away, Yan Jing's face finally showed a touch of despair on his face as he retreated.
It's too late......
Kara~
Suddenly, the surface of the skeleton that was originally standing against the wall somehow fell in the direction of Yan Jing, and a large number of cracks appeared on the surface, which immediately cracked directly.
With the gray-white light not far from his side, Yan Jing finally saw the object in his body.
It was a bronze beast statue with a tiger head, a fish body, and a tail!
I don't know if it was a coincidence or some other reason, but the impact of the rupture of the skeleton sent it to Yan Jing.
A wave of air exploded inside the wreck.
The pale golden streamer spilled out in all directions with a strange roar.
Suddenly.
Yan Jing only felt that he was in chaos, and countless strange scenes flashed in front of him like a marquee.
In the end, it is frozen in a strange world.
Above the vast expanse of the sea, dark clouds are thick and layered.
Countless tornadoes pierced the sea and sky, and when the thunder roared, the world seemed to be deprived of color and pale.
Only in the center of hundreds of seaspouts, a dark golden light rose.
Yan Jing almost instinctively wanted to step forward to see its appearance, but at the same time that this thought occurred, it was pitch black in front of him.
A voice like a bell exploded in his ears.
"The mountain of prayer flows out of the water, and the south flows into the sea."
"Among them is a tiger jiao, which has a fish-like body and a snake's tail, and its sound is like a mandarin duck."
"The blood is left behind."
"The end of the world has come, but when?"
Open your eyes again.
Everything in front of me seems to be back to reality, and the prompt sound in my head is even louder.
Yan Jing didn't have the heart to care about it at the moment.
Not far in front of him was the ghost-faced fish that had cornered him,
It's just that compared to the previous embarrassment, Yan Jing didn't feel any physical discomfort at this time......
To be exact, all he felt was incredibly powerful!
The surrounding sea could no longer hinder him, and even faintly defended him.
Raising his hand and clenching his fist, Yan Jing smashed the plank on his side with one punch, and grabbed two planks with sharp edges with his left and right hands.
The eyes glowed with a light golden light, the black lines on the forehead converged, and the scale lines on the body surface were looming.
The battle is only now officially underway!
......
From the moment Yan Jing and the ghost-faced fish fell into the sea together.
The seaweed nets that had been pestering the fishing boats showed no signs of growth, and even the water spirits that were struggling on the deck lost their motivation and their bodies began to decay at a rapid rate.
"Find, continue to find, live to see people and dead to see corpses!"
Zheng Sanshan wandered around the deck with a searchlight, shouting in a dumb voice, his anxious emotions overflowing.
The surrounding crew members also had a lamp in their hands, looking for and shouting Yan Jing's name along the side of the ship, especially the few people who had been forcibly rescued by Yan Jing before, and poked out by the side of the boat.
"If Ah Jing is gone, how can I explain to Xiaolian and his aunt when I go back......
Zheng Sanshan sat on the cargo box and gasped and said to the second mate beside him.
Yan Jing's parents died in shipwrecks a few years ago, and they have always been taken care of by their uncle and aunt, and he happened to know the latter, so he recruited this eighteen-year-old child on the ship at the beginning, but he didn't want to recruit an extremely capable first mate for himself.
Over the years, Zheng Sanshan has long regarded Yan Jing as his junior.
He couldn't imagine and didn't dare to think about how he would tell his family the news if he didn't bring Yan Jing back.
"Third uncle, this wind and waves are high, and it has been almost twenty minutes since Brother Yan fell......"
The second pair had red eyes, choked in his throat in the middle of his words, opened his mouth, and couldn't finish the second half of the sentence.
"Fuck, what the hell is this, it's what they harmed!"
Zheng Sanshan, who was in a hurry, grabbed an iron rod and walked to the drowned corpse covered by the net, and smashed it as if venting, his body shook suddenly, and his feet followed.
After a night of busy work against the storm and drastic emotional changes, Zheng Sanshan's body was overdrawn.
The second mate saw that the captain was about to fall, so he hurriedly stepped forward, but before he stretched out his hand, someone had already stood behind Zheng Sanshan first.
When he saw the appearance of the person who came, the second mate's eyes immediately widened.
"Third uncle, you have to take it easy when you're older, and I'm counting on you to take us to have a good meal when we go back this time."
"Ah Jing?"
The familiar voice shocked Zheng Sanshan's spirits, and he turned around in a hurry, and saw Yan Jing, who was shirtless and wet, standing behind him, and immediately froze in place, and immediately raised his hands to pinch the latter's cheeks and rub them.
"It's me, it hurts, third uncle!"
Yan Jing's cheeks were rubbed, and his eyes looked at the crew members who heard the movement and gathered around, and raised his hand to signal,
"That guy didn't have the ability to accept me enough, he was stabbed in the back by Lao Tzu, and I was instigated, and I climbed up along the seaweed that hadn't burned down next to me, so I said that cow is not cow, right?"
"Fuck, Brother Yan, your fucking immortal reincarnation?"
Someone couldn't help but exclaim.
"Who's to say it's not, I've actually been doubting myself as the reincarnation of the Dragon King lately."
Yan Jing put his arm around the third uncle's shoulders and said with a laugh.
"Then I'll have to take a picture of you!"
Seeing that Yan Jing had returned safely and that there were no other casualties on the ship, the heavy atmosphere on the ship suddenly vanished.
What's more, the propeller somehow got on its own, and the fishing boat was soon back in operation.
Everyone began to clean the scene with laughter,
No one noticed that Yan Jing's clothes were missing, and he only wore a pair of pants when he returned.
No one noticed that his eyes were glowing with dark gold, and his already strong body was getting stronger and stronger.
As the biggest contributor to solving the trouble this time, Yan Jing naturally did not need to participate in the follow-up finishing work, but returned to the room.
In the past, Yan Jing would have chosen to stay with the crew, but this time he did need to be alone.
After taking a simple shower, Yan Jing, who had changed into new clothes, returned to his room.
Taking a long breath and relieving himself, lines of text began to appear in Yan Jing's eyes:
