Tang Ling continued to sneak into the blood pool.
But he didn't forget to collect some of the viscous blood and blood-like liquid, and wait to go ashore to test it with test strips.
After all, speculation is speculation and reality is reality.
"After that, we must find the Poseidon's Tears and Poseidon's gifts. How to use them?" The bottom of the blood pool was not small. Tang Ling swam underneath for half an hour but found nothing more.
Thinking about it, this is in the body of a huge creature. It is not that easy to find the key to attracting the starlight fish in the netherworld.
But Tang Ling was not anxious. The discovery of the entire strange island had already surprised him. It confirmed his biggest guess, and the rest would surely be found over time.
It's just that you have to figure out your direction.
What exactly attracts the Starlight Netherfish? Tang Ling started to think while observing all the details here.
I think this direction still falls on the characteristics of the Starlight Nether Fish. This kind of creature is a creature that can evolve, and what attracts them must be something about evolution.
Tang Ling thought of this and had some ideas.
He quickly changed direction and swam towards the location of his heart. He was now 70% able to attract ordinary Starlight Netherfish and even Moonlight Netherfish! The key is the Sunlight Netherfish!
Thinking about it, Tang Ling quickly swam to the location of the huge creature's heart.
Before, out of some kind of awe. Tang Ling didn't dare to explore too much, but after staying at the bottom of the pond for such a long time, his awe had faded a bit. When he stood in front of this huge heart again, at least Tang Ling could do it My breathing is steady and my heartbeat is calm.
"Then" Tang Ling suddenly gathered his mental strength and looked at the huge heart.
I don't know why, but when Tang Ling's mental power touched the heart, the originally lifeless heart suddenly shrank.
'Bang', a dull sound came. Tang Ling was so startled that he suddenly opened his eyes and took two steps back.
Of course, Tang Ling did not gain anything from just a moment of observation. He noticed that there was a suppressed, seemingly calm, but actually full of dangerous and violent energy in this heart that was mostly turned into stone. The part of the heart that has not yet become petrified.
This energy is not just a pure energy group, what else is wrapped in it? Unfortunately, the observation lasted only a moment, and Tang Ling was already frightened.
Yes, scary!
Just because that dull sound is so much like a heartbeat, and the heart can still contract, this feeling is clearly a heartbeat.
If there is still a heartbeat, doesn't it mean that this huge creature is still alive
Tang Ling couldn't help sweating when he thought that he was in the belly of a living giant creature of unknown rank. Isn't this fright
Is this a warning? After Tang Ling regained consciousness, his first reaction was to turn around and run away.
There is always greed in human nature, but people with a bottom line always live longer.
"Alive? How could it be alive?" Tang Ling swam quickly, and all the thoughts that exploded in his mind were this.
It's a pity that even if Tang Ling sticks to the bottom line, his reaction is very quick.
But with that heart beating inexplicably, it was too late!
The sticky blood pool began to fluctuate violently without warning, and the heart suddenly emitted huge energy, churning the waves and chasing Tang Ling.
"Damn it!" Tang Ling swore and swore with almost all his strength as he swam upwards with all his strength. This time it was not an act of fighting against Zhan Jiu. He was really panicking.
But the stirred viscous liquid acted like a huge suction force, hindering Tang Ling's escape.
Even if Tang Ling tried to get rid of it, in such an environment that suddenly became violent, his resistance and struggle were like a joke.
Tang Ling was used to using wisdom to solve everything. The success that wisdom allowed him to achieve even made him blur the existence of levels occasionally.
But at this time, Tang Ling really felt the despair caused by the power gap. He couldn't think of any solution in this situation.
The energy escaping from the heart caught up with Tang Ling in just a short time. Then it wrapped around Tang Ling in an instant, like the most powerful restraint, leaving no part of Tang Ling's body able to move.
Then, Tang Ling was pulled unstoppably towards his heart as if being pulled by a rope.
"Will I be eaten?" At this moment, Tang Ling only had this thought in his mind.
He used to not be afraid of death because he was desperate inside.
But now, although Tang Ling was not afraid of death, he was more in awe of death. Tang Ling once thought about the reason for this awe. Thinking about it, there is only one reason. He has many more worries, such as the other side, his brother and friends.
Of course Tang Ling didn't want to die in such a place, but now he had no choice.
In just a few thoughts, Tang Ling was dragged in front of that heart again.
But unexpectedly, he was just restrained here quietly. The thought of being eaten or something like that did not happen.
A drop of cold sweat slipped from Tang Ling's forehead. Compared to the danger that had already occurred, it was obvious that waiting without knowing anything was more torturous.
But what else can we do but wait
'Gudong', Tang Ling swallowed his saliva. He couldn't even turn his head at this moment, he could only look straight at the heart.
The heart didn't beat again, but Tang Ling's own heart was beating hard.
What's even more surprising is that the connection between him and Xiao Zhong was cut off. There was a force that seemed to stand between him and Xiao Zhong, so that he couldn't call Xiao Zhong at all. He could only vaguely feel that Xiao Zhong was still sleeping, and it seemed that Xiao Zhong was still sleeping. He didn't know that Tang Ling was in some kind of desperate situation.
One minute, two minutes, ten minutes
Tang Ling was silently restrained like this for twenty minutes. Not that nothing happened. Although Tang Ling's body could not move, his mental power still existed. He could feel a force moving back and forth. Explore his body
This made Tang Ling a little angry. After all, no one liked being investigated so unscrupulously.
The initial fear faded away as time went by. Tang Ling, who was proud and crazy at heart, was stimulated by this anger and became more and more fearless.
"Are you observing me?"
"The situation can't be worse anyway!"
"The worst possible outcome is death!"
Tang Ling simply gathered his mental strength and began to explore the heart again, very carefully.
As if feeling Tang Ling's arrogance, his heart contracted again. As the dull sound sounded again, Tang Ling's concentrated mental power was shattered.
But at this time, Tang Ling had already felt very clearly that there was no rocky part of the heart, but there was indeed a huge energy. This energy was egg-shaped, layer by layer surrounding a heart similar to the one in the center. Something about crystals.
What is this crystal? Tang Ling originally wanted to feel it carefully, but he consciously realized that this crystal was probably the source of attracting the Starlight Netherfish, but unfortunately, he was interrupted again by this heart.
If you interrupt, interrupt! If the only ending is death, why can't we have what we want before death? Tang Ling gathered his mental power again without caring.
But at this time, a voice came from the heart, thick and distant, with a vicissitude that was incompatible with the world.
"presumptuous."
It is indeed alive! Tang Ling didn't know why, but he breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
He looked straight at the heart and said: "It's all death anyway, does it matter whether you are bold or not?"
The heart was silent.
After about three minutes, a shadow appeared vaguely outside the heart.
This shadow is not complete, but only has a huge head.
This head! Tang Ling swallowed his saliva again. His blood from the East made him feel almost instinctive awe when he saw this head.
Because this head is very similar to the head of the Eastern dragon. Although there are differences in some details, it is really very similar, right? !
And because of the power of this creature, Tang Ling also instinctively wanted to believe that this was the giant dragon from the East
"Hahahaha." Before Tang Ling could speak, the phantom of the head was the first to let out a mocking laugh. It narrowed its eyes in a very humane way and looked at Tang Ling: "Who do you think I am? I come from the East. A legendary creature—a dragon?”
"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Tang Ling was slightly surprised.
"No! But if you are lucky enough to reach a certain state, it is not difficult to sense the strongest thoughts of other creatures. This is energy, all energy!" The phantom head seemed to be very patient. look like.
Tang Ling thought for a moment and then understood the meaning of the shadow's words. That is, thinking also requires energy. As long as there is energy fluctuation, it can be sensed
This statement made Tang Ling think deeply, but there was something hidden behind it, as if it were separated by a piece of paper, making Tang Ling always feel like he couldn't see clearly.
"Don't you feel that you are bound to die? At this time, are you still in the mood to think about the mysteries of energy?" The phantom head raised a mocking smile at the corner of its mouth and looked at Tang Ling again.
"Well, can death stop me from doing meaningful things?" Tang Ling found this question very strange.
However, as soon as these words were finished, the head laughed wildly again, making Tang Ling puzzled.
"Death cannot stop you from doing meaningful things. But death can block too many other things."
"Just like me, I'm about to really die."
After saying this, it suddenly raised its head and looked above the blood pool. Unfortunately, the thick blood blocked the light, so nothing could be seen here.
Tang Ling showed slight shock on his face and said, "Why are you telling me this?"
"Because I can't wait any longer." At this moment, the phantom head seemed not to want to talk nonsense anymore, and it suddenly lowered its head and looked at Tang Ling.
"Let's make a deal."
trade? From death to a deal, and a deal with a powerful creature, anyone would feel happy and satisfied, but Tang Ling was full of doubts: "Why do you want to make a deal with me?"
"Hehehe, you don't want to?" The head's eyes widened, as if it raised its eyebrows, but before Tang Ling could answer, it spoke again: "It's okay if you don't want to, then die immediately."
As the word 'death' fell, the force restraining Tang Ling suddenly became stronger and began to squeeze Tang Ling's body.
Tang Ling's face suddenly turned red from suppressing the pressure. The huge force squeezed his chest and immediately tightened it. Even though he had an underwater breathing device in his mouth, his lungs could not open and close to suck in even a trace of air.
But Tang Ling still stubbornly looked at the phantom of the head in front of him, gritting his teeth without making a sound.
The phantom head looked at Tang Ling playfully. It wasn't until Tang Ling reached his limit that he relaxed his grip on Tang Ling.
"Whoosh, whoosh," Tang Ling gasped.
"What? Have you thought about it? Trade with me? Or die?" The huge head spoke again, as if to seduce Tang Ling. It turned its head and looked around, and then said with a sigh: "Look, if you choose Deal. Everything here is yours. Do you know the meaning of everything here?"
"Just like this pool of water, it comes from the blood of my heart. Although it has been diluted after absorbing energy for decades, every drop of dilution has extremely huge value."
"Look, my internal organs, bones, and muscles in this pool. Although they have turned into rocks, there must be crystallization of the essence in the middle. Even if you can find some vital resources, you can restore the activity of my bones. Become the best forging material”
"There are many benefits. If you are willing to trade, I can tell you one by one."
The head's voice became more and more tempting. It looked at Tang Ling, narrowed its eyes again and said, "Have you thought about it?"
"Think about it." Tang Ling's breathing finally calmed down at this time. He had become fearless. He just said: "If this is not a fair transaction that gives me the right to know, then I refuse. ”
"What did you say?" The head phantom did not expect that Tang Ling would answer it like this, and it suddenly became angry.
As it became angry, the blood pool became violent, but Tang Ling remained unafraid: "I stand by my statement."
"Then you go die." The phantom of the head said without mercy.
It didn't mean to be joking at all. As soon as it said this, the force restraining Tang Ling became stronger again, even worse than the previous explosion.
Tang Ling couldn't breathe again in an instant. The sound of bone cracking came directly from his chest, and even his limbs began to twist.
The phantom head looked at Tang Ling cruelly, and Tang Ling also looked at the phantom head without fear, like a silent confrontation.
One second, or two seconds? At the moment when he was extremely close to death, even Tang Ling, who had precise instincts, could no longer calculate the time.
He just knew that when he was able to breathe again and regain consciousness, there was severe pain all over his body. That was because under the huge pressure, the muscles all over his body were torn and the bones were cracked. Only his internal organs could barely hold on. No injuries.
What kind of power is this? And control of power! Tang Ling's body was transformed by the copper-faced monster, forming a perfect body of steel. There was also a small species, and his muscles were filled with power.
Tang Ling fully believed that even if a fifth- and sixth-level Ziyue warrior took action, it would not be possible to injure his body to such an extent just by using pure force restraint, unless it was a natural ability.
What shocked him even more was the control! It hurt everything that wasn't fatal to him, but it didn't cause any fatal injuries that would kill him.
This is precise control of power, and it is precise control of a large area.
"I'll give you another chance." The head phantom said angrily.
Tang Ling licked the blood seeping out from between his teeth, shook his head and said, "You don't want to kill me. But I still insist."
The head phantom did not take action this time, but its eyes changed from anger to coldness: "I hate being threatened the most, and I hate having creatures trying to be smart in front of me. Are you really sure I won't kill you?"
"Not sure, I just said you don't want to. But if I really piss you off, just do it. I'm not threatening you, and I'm not trying to be smart. But after weighing it up, I found that there are many things that are more embarrassing than death. I'm afraid."
As he spoke, Tang Ling tried hard to raise his eyes. His ears, mouth and nose were all oozing with blood, and he looked a little scary. He said word by word: "It's like becoming a puppet from now on, and it's like having all thoughts restricted. Within a certain premise, these things can be summed up in five words - freedom of life!"
"Compared with losing it, death is nothing but child's play, isn't it?" After saying this, Tang Ling grinned, his teeth stained red with blood and his bloody face showing an indescribable emotion. Definitely.
He will not change his decision.
The phantom of the head fell silent, and its cold eyes gradually became calmer.
"There is actually a creature that negotiates fairness with me? Terms? And it is so weak. Even a creature that can crush me to death at will even though I have been dead in a certain sense for so long, actually negotiates terms with me?"
Tang Ling didn't say anything. He had already said what he needed to say. He could not influence the choice of this powerful creature. He also had no doubt about the ability of this shadow. Even the owner of Ruin No. 9 could leave a shadow, and he also had the ability to leave a shadow. combat effectiveness.
This creature is far stronger than the owner of Ruin No. 9. There is no doubt that its shadow is very powerful.
Therefore, Tang Ling could only wait for the final decision of the head phantom.
"I can tell you some of the essence of the deal. But you have to understand that this is my bottom line."
Finally, the head phantom said such a sentence, with strong dissatisfaction in his tone. The superior always likes obedience, not inexplicable personality, unless they have no choice. Tang Ling just convinced it with fearlessness, but it didn't mean that it started to appreciate Tang Ling.
"You say, but I will still retain my right to choose."
Tang Ling said this with uncompromising persistence on his face.
