What did Tang Ling see inside the rock

Simply put, it is a different kind of rock! This kind of rock is dark red, like the cured meat that people store.

And it's vivid and has the texture of muscles.

If it were someone else, most people wouldn’t think much about it? No matter how strange a rock looks, isn’t it still a rock? In addition, from a probability perspective, the possibility of others discovering this rock is also very small.

But Tang Ling had some kind of suspicion from the moment he landed on the island. All his previous actions were deliberate. He didn't think that the rocks in front of him were just strange shapes.

So, he reached out and touched it.

It was still hard and cold to the touch, but because of his precise instinct, Tang Ling could feel that the touch was slightly different from a real rock.

"That's true." Tang Ling was underwater at this time, his eyes became complicated and his brows furrowed even more tightly.

But at this moment, bursts of wild laughter came from above the water, and then reached Tang Ling's ears through the pond, which seemed a bit unreal.

Tang Ling looked up and saw a figure squatting by the pool of blood, laughing maniacally.

His vision underwater was a little blurry, and Tang Ling couldn't see clearly what the person coming was like. But the person who came seemed to know Tang Ling. After laughing wildly, he shouted to Tang Ling under the water: "Tsk, the early bird catches the worm! I came to kill you, but I found out that What a gift from the God of the Sea, Tang Ling, you are indeed my lucky star."

Tang Ling did not speak under the water, but began to swim quickly upward.

As if he saw Tang Ling's intention, the person suddenly punched into the water.

He was very powerful, at least stronger than Zhan Wu, whom Tang Ling had fought before, so when this punch hit the water, the quiet pool suddenly stirred up huge waves, and a powerful force slammed into Tang Ling. .

In the water, Tang Ling was very passive.

People by the pond can attack him freely, but it is difficult for him to attack people by the pond.

Besides, his ability to move in the water was certainly not comparable to that on land. Faced with such an attack, Tang Ling could only dodge in a panic.

"Just stay underwater until you die." The visitor was not carried away by the excitement. Instead, he knew very clearly that if he wanted to kill Tang Ling easily, it would be best to trap Tang Ling in the water. .

While he was talking, he was already furiously attacking Tan Shui with punch after punch. He was very cunning. He would change his position every time he attacked. Tang Ling couldn't accurately capture his position in the water.

But that's not the worst problem.

The worst thing is that no matter how good Tang Ling's physique is, he is not like some members of the Poseidon family who have evolved gills and can breathe in water.

If this delay continues, hypoxia will cause Tang Ling to develop various symptoms and then die.

Tang Ling understood this simple truth, and so did everyone else.

Therefore, the attacker's attacks were very intensive. It seemed that he had no hope of being able to kill Tang Ling so easily. All of his attack rhythm was just to trap Tang Ling in the water.

Is Tang Ling panicking? He seemed a little panicked.

After all, it would be difficult for him to take the initiative until the dilemma in the water was solved. And want to break the situation like this? There is no other way but to go up against the attack.

But if you are attacked, the consequences will be obvious.

Tang Ling seemed to be struggling in his heart, but the effects of hypoxia had already appeared, and Tang Ling's movements became sluggish.

However, he still managed to avoid the attack force.

But once oxygen is deprived, it is an irreversible process. I escaped once, but what about the second and third time? Tang Ling's actions will only become slower and slower

What's worse is that the person who came here seems to be very sensitive. He has noticed that Tang Ling's actions are not as good as before, and the attacks have become more frequent and intensive.

Tang Ling could no longer hesitate at this time.

So Tang Ling gritted his teeth and rushed towards the water. Upon discovering Tang Ling's intention, the visitor was not polite and directly used his combat skills to attack Tang Ling.

Tang Ling didn't know what this combat skill was? I just saw that after the power entered the water, it turned into a colorless and transparent broadsword, and it slashed directly towards Tang Ling.

Tang Ling knew that he couldn't resist this attack, so he could only dodge in a panic.

How could anyone be willing to give up the advantage they had gained so easily? The moment Tang Ling dodged, another combat skill slashed in the direction Tang Ling dodged.

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 lack of oxygen in his brain made it difficult to escape.

Tang Ling was inevitably injured. It seemed that the injury was serious. Bright red blood flowed from his body and soon mixed with the bloody pool.

Seeing Tang Ling's blood, the visitor seemed very excited. After spending so much energy to stop Tang Ling, he even laughed wildly.

Perhaps seeing Tang Ling break out of the water was already destined. Amidst the laughter, the person who came seemed to be serious.

He didn't talk too much. Several shadows of chains appeared next to his body, and these chains seemed to be alive and stabbed directly towards Tang Ling in the water.

Tang Ling's situation at this time looked very bad. At least there were several rolling wounds on his skin, and his movements were even slower than before.

Even if he has a superhuman physique, he still needs to make violent movements when he is deprived of oxygen, which will only aggravate his hypoxic condition.

In comparison, Tang Ling had a hard time dodging with the previous combat skills before being hit by various attacks, let alone a chain that was five minutes faster than this combat skill

Tang Ling had no reason to hide. The sharp ends of the four chains undoubtedly penetrated Tang Ling's body and bound Tang Ling.

Fortunately, at this time, Tang Ling did not completely lose his fighting power. He still dodged subconsciously. The place where the chain penetrated was not a vital part, nor did it damage any internal organs.

With the sound of water breaking, Tang Ling finally emerged from the water.

But is this important? It's not important anymore!

At this time, his situation was no different from that of a fish caught by a fishhook. Even if he surfaced, he was still firmly controlled.

Bloody water droplets fell from Tang Ling's hair, and blood was still flowing from the wound penetrated by the chain.

After confronting the person for so long, Tang Ling finally saw the person's face clearly.

His silver-white hair stood up straight, and he was wearing a leather jacket with chains wrapped around it. His whole person exuded an arrogant and wild aura.

If Tang Ling was familiar with the Zhan Zi lineage, he would definitely recognize that this was Zhan Jiu, the leader of the Zhan Zi lineage.

It's a pity that Tang Ling didn't know anything. There was a hint of panic in his expression. He gasped for breath and grabbed a chain that passed under his collarbone with his hand. He began to struggle desperately, as if he wanted to remove the chain from his flesh. Pull it out.

When Zhan Jiu saw this, it was as if he had seen the funniest thing in the world. He smiled ferociously, whipped out a dog-leg knife with his left hand, and then pulled Tang Ling towards him with a strong force. .

Originally, this was not the most ideal plan. It would be dangerous to bring the enemy closer to him, but Zhan Jiu could feel Tang Ling's subtle changes in strength from the chains. The lack of oxygen, injuries, and struggles. Tang Ling's strength at this time was much better than Worse than an ordinary quasi-Purple Moon warrior.

Moreover, the arrogance on the surface is just Zhan Jiu's protective color. He was extremely meticulous. From the moment he found Tang Ling in the pool to the moment Tang Ling was controlled by chains, he carefully recalled every detail, and there was no flaw.

More importantly, Tang Ling was controlled by chains!

So Zhan Jiu chose to do this.

What is the purpose? It's simple, Zhan Jiu wants Tang Ling's blood.

This is a very attractive thing for him! Think about it, Tang Ling's blood is no less tempting than Poseidon's Tears.

But as soon as Tang Ling dies, the blood will lose its effect, because the life in it will disappear instantly.

But if Tang Ling is alive,

As if predicting his own fate, Tang Ling showed a hint of shock when he was pulled by Zhan Jiu, and then began to struggle in fear, not wanting to be pulled in front of Zhan Jiu.

"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?" During the struggle, Tang Ling began to scream unwillingly.

"Haha, hahaha." Faced with Tang Ling's question, Zhan Jiu didn't answer at all, but smiled more and more like a pervert.

Does struggling help

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 things. Roots began to emerge, taking root in his body and hooking onto his flesh and bones.

"What kind of weird thing is this?" Tang Ling began to scream in horror. It seemed that the dying man had shown his last strength, and his struggle became more violent.

"Did you notice?" Zhan Jiu's tone was filled with pride. Since Tang Ling was struggling so hard, he didn't bother to waste any energy. He simply stopped pulling Tang Ling and let Tang Ling struggle in the pool.

"What on earth is it? Why did it happen?" Tang Ling's eyes widened in horror, but he didn't finish his words because he couldn't believe that the chain rooted in his body was absorbing his energy bit by bit.

"I advise you not to struggle, because the more you struggle, the faster it will be absorbed. If you are controlled by my chain, unless you have an extremely powerful force to break it, there is no way to break free." Zhan Jiu There was a glint of pride in his eyes. This was the biggest reason why he dared to capture Tang Ling alive. It was also the reason why he had to sneak out to find Tang Ling before everyone else did!

Because only he could control Tang Ling, meaning control him alive!

And how could he, who was extremely thirsty for blood, be willing to let others take a share of such a good thing

The current facts proved that Zhan Jiu was right. He set out overnight without telling everyone. Not only did he fully realize his idea, he also discovered a whole pool of 'Poseidon's Gift'.

What Zhan Jiu is worried about now is how he can monopolize these things! But don’t worry too much. Those idiots, including Zhan Qi, must have just replenished supplies yesterday and woke up lazily at this time, right

He still has enough time to think of a solution.

Thinking about this, Zhan Jiu became even more proud! Tang Ling, who was in panic, started struggling violently in the pool again, shouting: "I don't believe it."

"Humph." 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 did not dare to move and floated in the water blankly, as if he was dreaming.

There was a sarcastic smile on Zhan Jiu's lips. He enjoyed every time his enemy was penetrated by chains. At this moment of despair, now that the famous Tang Ling was under control, his inner satisfaction was simply indescribable.

"It's all luck." Zhan Jiu began to tighten the chains and continued to pull the desperate Tang Ling in the pool of blood. And he attributed everything to luck, just to prevent himself from getting carried away with his pride and eventually capsizing in the gutter.

And the whole thing does have some luck involved, doesn't it

The more he thought about it, the more cautiously Zhan Jiu observed Tang Ling. During the whole process, Tang Ling showed no signs of abnormality. His eyes were empty and numb, and there was an expression of disbelief on his face, as if he was not convinced. I can't believe I was caught like this.

The blood pool was not big, but in less than ten seconds, Tang Ling was pulled to the shore.

But at this moment, Zhan Jiu took a few steps back cautiously, while Tang Ling lay unresponsive by the pool, with his lower body still in the water.

Facing Tang Ling like this, Zhan Jiu did not relax at all. He kept moving his eyes to observe Tang Ling.

But he was struggling fiercely in his heart, whether to wait for the chain to drain Tang Ling's energy before passing, or to wait for the chain to drain Tang Ling's energy.

Thinking about it, Zhan Jiu passed by cautiously. He really couldn't resist the huge temptation in front of him. If he delayed any longer, the risk of being discovered by other members of the Zhanzi lineage would increase exponentially.

Besides, even if there was a real fight, he wouldn't necessarily be afraid of Tang Ling, let alone Tang Ling who was injured and controlled by chains

"Oh, greed is really the original sin." Zhan Jiu thought as he stood 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 any longer. His idea was simple: cripple Tang Ling's limbs and then break his spine so that Tang Ling would completely lose the ability to move. Then there would be no worries.

And Zhan Jiu was not a procrastinator, so he couldn't give the enemy too much breathing space. With a flick of his hand, the dog-headed knife in his hand had been turned in one direction, and the handle of the knife hit Tang Ling's arm hard. Go down.

Only bones are the slowest to recover, right

Zhan Jiu was not worried that the dog-headed knife would keep hitting Tang Ling's arm. After all, it was a knife made of S-grade alloy. The weight had reached 1,000 kilograms. How could it keep hitting Tang Ling's arm

Zhan Jiu's knife hilt fell hard, and he seemed to have seen Tang Ling's despair and pain after his arm was broken!

But when the handle of the knife fell, the expected breaking sound did not sound. Instead, there was the sound of a hard object colliding, and there was a huge rebound force!

What's wrong? Zhan Jiu glanced at Tang Ling's arm subconsciously, and then discovered that Tang Ling's arm had been covered with a layer of white armor at some point, and there were faint black lines on the armor.

This armor is so exquisite, streamlined, and fits Tang Ling's arm perfectly.

what happened? Zhan Jiu was a little confused, because the information he knew about Tang Ling did not mention that Tang Ling had such armor? !

But Zhan Jiu's reaction was not unpleasant. In just a short 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 popped out of his hand.

This sword is even more beautiful than the white armor. It has a dark black blade with red light spots like meteors all over the sky. A deep jagged blood groove makes the whole sword full of momentum. There is also a row of barbs in the upper center of the sword body.

Zhan Jiu's eyesight was good, but he could see the sword clearly the moment Tang Ling drew it out, but what if he saw it clearly? The sword still penetrated his thigh very quickly.

After all, the distance between him and Tang Ling was less than one meter, and the length of the sword was one meter!

"You're looking for death!" Zhan Jiu was angry. He wondered if he had been tricked by someone? Why was all the information given to him about Tang Ling wrong

Why is Tang Ling protected by armor? Isn't Tang Ling's sword a short sword? How did it become such a long sword

Even so, Zhan Jiu was not a person who let his anger affect the fight. Since he failed to escape in time and was stabbed by Tang Ling, it did not mean that his advantage was gone.

Compared to Tang Ling, he only suffered minor injuries, and he could still fight Tang Ling openly, not to mention that his chain had already controlled Tang Ling.

With the words 'You are looking for death', more chains floated on Zhan Jiu's body, attacking Tang Ling.

At such a close distance, he wanted to see how Tang Ling could avoid it? Is it possible to dodge his chains in all directions if you possess subtle body skills

Moreover, Zhan Jiu began to activate his own energy, turning all the chains into a rusty red color. At this time, the chains were already corrosive.

Obviously, Zhan Jiu has given up on Tang Ling's tempting blood. In this case, it is better to kill Tang Ling directly!

But Tang Ling didn't need to dodge, his limbs and chest were already firmly protected by bone armor!

Facing Zhan Jiu's attack, Tang Ling just jumped up high. Although he couldn't dodge the two chains attacking his legs, the bone armor with the protective ability of the second-level Purple Moon Warrior armor was not that easy. will be penetrated.

As long as you can resist it for a moment, that's enough!

As Tang Ling jumped up, he already held the high-energy blaster in his hand. He pointed it at Zhan Jiu!

Zhan Jiu felt a huge danger at this moment, 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 Xue Pu Sword. There were barbs on the sword, so it was not easy to pull it out, not to mention the hilt of the sword was still in Tang Ling's hand.

That'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? no way!

He fired decisively, hitting Zhan Jiu right in the heart! With the sound of a gunshot, Zhan Jiu covered his heart. He didn't even have time to say a word. He just glanced at Tang Ling and fell to the ground.

Was Zhan Jiu taken care of like this? Obviously impossible! His last look at Tang Ling was full of resentment and anger.

Of course Tang Ling understood that in just a short while, Zhan Jiu would transform into another creature. Of course, he had the confidence to see himself in this way.

It's a pity that this secret has been exposed by the previous Zhan Wu

So Zhan Jiu was destined to have no chance. After Tang Ling landed, he pulled out the Blood Pu Sword from Zhan Jiu's thigh, then raised the sword and cut off Zhan Jiu's head.

This is also something Tang Ling has always wanted to test, that is, after these monsters' heads are chopped off, or after their brains suffer a devastating blow, will they still transform

This kind of thing requires at least two monsters to test. Tang Ling was still regretful that he had no way to test it and might have to face a large group of monsters. But he didn't expect that a Zhan Jiu would be sent to him on this strange island.

'Gululu', as Zhan Jiu's head was cut off, Tang Ling quickly kicked it aside. Out of caution, Tang Ling knelt directly on Zhan Jiu's body with a high-energy blaster. It was pressed against the lower left side of Zhan Jiu's chest.

That's what Tang Ling discovered after dissecting Zhan Wu's body. The hearts of these monsters were located right here!

After being prepared for all this, Tang Ling was still a little nervous. The reason he was nervous was not that this monster could make a comeback, but that 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 body suddenly shook, and then began to expand uncontrollably, turning into a monster in just a few seconds.

But what was unexpected was that Zhan Jiu's body was not resurrected after its transformation.

Tang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his face. You must know that when Zhan Jiu's body transformed just now, he couldn't help but shoot several times.

That makes it difficult to determine the real results.

Fortunately, he held it back. Tang Ling put away the high-energy blaster, glanced at Zhan Jiu's body, leaned against a tree, panted slightly, and then pulled the chains piercing his body one by one. Come down.

Tang Ling has never worried about the chain from the beginning to the end. He understands the truth that if the owner of the chain dies, the chain will have no effect! After all, the various functions of the chain are just a variation of energy attacks.

In fact, not only was Tang Ling not worried about the chains, he wasn't even worried about Zhan Jiu in the first place.

All these coincidences were deliberately designed by Tang Ling to allow Zhan Jiu to take advantage.

Why? It was because Tang Ling didn't want to spend energy fighting Zhan Jiu, but only wanted to use the high-energy blaster to kill Zhan Jiu to the maximum extent. This met Tang Ling's needs.

After all, what is there under 20 meters of water? What will happen? Tang Ling was unsure, so retaining his fighting power was the best choice.

In addition, even if the combat effectiveness can be restored, it will take time. Tang Ling couldn't afford to waste this time, especially after Zhan Jiu's appearance, it was a big wake-up call for him. Maybe everything would not go according to his plan, and he had to grab time.

In fact, when Zhan Jiu came to the island and got close to it, Tang Ling felt a strong warning in his heart.

And by that time, Tang Ling already knew that the danger did not come from underwater! At least there is no danger above a depth of 20 meters, otherwise the three Blood Sword brothers would have died a hundred times.

He could have surfaced at that moment.

But just because he made up his mind to retain the strongest combat effectiveness and only use high-energy blasters, Tang Ling deliberately left it underwater.

He wants to confuse the enemy and create an opportunity for himself to kill him with one shot.

Then only by giving the enemy a huge advantage and putting yourself at a disadvantage can you create this opportunity.

What could be more convincing than knowing nothing underwater? Moreover, he also has an advantage, that is, the visitor does not know how long he has been underwater, so he can completely pretend to be hypoxic.

Thinking about it, Tang Ling took out a tooth-sized thing from his mouth.

Although this thing is small, it actually cost Tang Ling three hundred Zhengjing coins. After all, it is also a super technological product.

So what is this? It's an underwater breathing apparatus.

It itself is not as mysterious as its name. It allows people to breathe underwater. It is just that after installing the universal energy stone, it can release a certain amount of oxygen, allowing people to extend the time of underwater activities.

To put it bluntly, it is like the oxygen tank carried by a pre-civilized diver. But because it is a super high-tech product, it is much smaller and more exquisite.

Tang Ling wanted to explore the blood pool here. With his caution, how could he not prepare something like this

Zhan Jiu was actually much more powerful than Zhan Wu, but it was a bit aggrieved to be killed with one shot like this.

As planned, Tang Ling achieved his goal without expending any energy at all. He just disguised himself appropriately.

The only thing that was unplanned was that Tang Ling was planning to shoot as soon as he surfaced. That was the most appropriate time.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhan Jiu actually wanted to pull him to the shore. Therefore, Tang Ling was a little surprised at that time.

But he was definitely happy to cooperate with Zhan Jiu, because being close to Zhan Jiu would make all plans more certain, so Tang Ling didn't care about waiting a little longer.

Although I don’t know why Zhan Jiu did this? But with Tang Ling's intelligence, he quickly figured out the answer - it was nothing but greed.

And what did he have that made 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 medicine was amazing. Coupled with Tang Ling's strong physique, the scars on his body soon became scarred.

Tang Ling stood up and did not touch Zhan Jiu's body rashly. If he had enough time, he would like to study it, but the top priority now is to find out everything about this strange island.

After all, what was under the rock almost confirmed Tang Ling's guess, but Tang Ling still had to dive into a pool 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 brought the Blood Pu Sword and the high-energy bolter to the blood pool and jumped directly into the water.
