Chapter 518 People who are more terrifying than ghosts when it comes to money!
Although the controlled Wu Xie was kicked away, a series of rattling sounds still came from inside the door, and the lock disc of the rotary sealing lock began to turn on its own.

Gao Dongxu immediately retreated, pulling A Ning back to the bulkhead. Before the two were ready, there was a sudden loud noise, and a large amount of seawater rushed out of the door. Fortunately, the two were backed against the bulkhead and were not knocked down by the water. However, Wu Xie, who was unconscious, was not so lucky and was swept straight into the cargo hold by the current.

The steel door swayed back and forth as it was washed by the water, making a creaking sound.

Gao Dongxu immediately raised the emergency light and shone it in the direction of the steel door. He saw a giant face covered in scales peeking out from behind the door, with two green eyes staring silently at Gao Dongxu and A Ning like a ghost.

This hideous giant face was almost four or five times larger than a human head, and its body was still hidden behind the iron gate. No one knew exactly how big it was, but the face seemed ghostly and indescribably eerie.

"What monster!" Ah Ning's face turned extremely ugly, and she immediately raised her hand and fired a shot.

"Roar—" The monster raised its hand to shield its face. The bullet hit its arm, and it roared in pain. It rushed out the door, leaped up, and pounced on the two people.

"Bang bang bang-"

Gao Dongxu and A Ning fired their guns simultaneously, dodging the monster's attacks while firing accurately, all of their bullets hitting the monster.

Black blood gushed out, and the monster, writhing in pain, began to leap and dodge the bullets.

"This guy is a sea monkey, incredibly strong, agile, and thick-skinned. Our bullets can only hurt it, not kill it..." Gao Dongxu calmly changed the magazine, watching A Ning continuously shoot at the sea monkey that was jumping around wildly.

The cabin shook violently in the storm, and the emergency lights distorted the monster's shadow.

The sea monkeys let out shrill cries like babies, crawling on all fours across the ceiling, their yellow-green eyes fixed intently on them.

"You take Wu Xie to the deck, I'll handle this." Gao Dongxu felt his adrenaline surging through his veins. He tossed the pistol in his hand to A Ning, who had run out of bullets, and shouted.

As Aning reached out to catch the pistol, the sea monkey seized the opportunity to pounce on her, but missed. It roared in frustration and tore at the cargo box with its claws.

"Can you handle this yourself?" Ah Ning rolled behind a pillar, and three more bullets whistled through the afterimages left by the sea monkey.

Gao Dongxu did not answer. He flipped his right hand, and the sharkskin scabbard gleamed with a dark blue luster under the light. With a "clang," the three-foot-two-inch Embroidered Spring Blade was drawn from its sheath, the gleaming blade cleaving the swaying shadow in two.

The knife tip pointed at the sea monkey huddled beside the ventilation duct. The beast was tearing at the bullet wound on its chest with its webbed claws, black blood flowing down its bluish-gray scales.

"Don't worry, killing it won't take much effort."

The sea monkeys suddenly sprang into action!
Its hind legs pushed off the pipe, causing the rusted metal to cave in. The monster shot towards A Ning, who was dragging Wu Xie, like a torpedo, and the resulting stench overturned the cargo containers on the ground.

Gao Dongxu lightly touched the ground with his toes, his inner energy surging from his dantian to his limbs and bones. The Embroidered Spring Blade drew a silver arc, a deafening clang that pierced the eardrums. The blade struck the sea monkey's right arm scales, sending sparks flying. The sharp edge finally broke through the defenses, black blood splattering onto the cabin wall.

"Roar—!" The sea monkey rolled in pain, knocking over two rows of shelves. Gao Dongxu smelled a strong stench and saw rotting flesh curling up beneath the cleaved scales. The monster's yellow eyes were filled with a venomous resentment that was almost tangible. It licked its wounds with its long tongue, black blood dripping from the corners of its mouth.

Taking advantage of the moment, A Ning hoisted Wu Xie onto her shoulder and rushed towards the gangway. The sea monkey gurgled like it was drowning, its muscular hind legs denting the steel deck. Gao Dongxu spun around and swung his embroidered spring blade, which whistled through the air, the blade's light weaving a deadly net.

"Swoosh!"—The blade sliced ​​across the sea monkey's back, spraying a cloud of foul-smelling black blood. As the monster turned, its claws grazed Gao Dongxu's left shoulder, instantly tearing four gashes in his diving suit. Taking advantage of the momentum, Gao Dongxu leaned back, the tip of his blade slicing upwards, opening a foot-long wound on the sea monkey's abdomen.

The roar of the storm suddenly filled our ears.

The sea monkey, seemingly in pain, decided to retreat. With a sudden leap, it smashed through the decaying deck and landed on it. Gao Dongxu, after a running start, jumped up and stomped on the cargo box, also soaring into the air and landing on the deck.

A bolt of lightning cleaved the inky black sea, illuminating the menacing figure of a sea monkey hanging from the mast. Rain washed over its wounds, and black blood trickled down the deck like a winding stream.

"You beast, come here!" Gao Dongxu shook off his rain-soaked hair, and his embroidered spring knife gleamed like a silver moon in the lightning.

The sea monkey hissed and pounced, its claws clashing against the blade, sparks flying. The monster went completely mad, ignoring the dozen or so gaping wounds on its body, its rotting flesh ramming into the ground like a cannonball.

Gao Dongxu suddenly changed his move, rotating the hilt of the knife half a circle in his palm before slashing it across the sea monkey's throat with a backhand grip. Unexpectedly, the beast bit the back of the knife with its fangs, and with a teeth-grinding metallic scraping sound, Gao Dongxu was pushed backward by the monster's momentum, his boots leaving two water streaks on the slippery deck.

The ship tilted violently in the giant waves, and Gao Dongxu's back slammed heavily against the gunwale. The sea monkey seized the opportunity to pounce, and he smelled the stench of rotting fish from the row of sharp teeth. In the nick of time, Gao Dongxu bent his knee and braced it against the monster's abdomen, channeling his inner strength into his right arm, and the Embroidered Spring Blade emitted a clear, resonant hum.

"die!"

The blade flashed like a bolt of lightning, cleaving through the rain.

As the sea monkey's head flew off, its狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) expression remained frozen on its bluish-gray face. The headless body convulsed, spitting out black blood, before Gao Dongxu kicked it into the churning waves. The head rolled on the deck, finally stopping at his feet, its yellow eyes darting around, and its lips still moving.

The rain poured down, and the gale whipped up huge waves, causing the ship to rock violently on the dark sea. Gao Dongxu stood there, sword in hand. The black blood on his embroidered spring blade had been washed away by the rain, and the blade gleamed coldly in the lightning flashes. His chest rose and fell slightly, but his eyes remained sharp as knives. A Ning, supporting the unconscious Wu Xie, stared blankly at Gao Dongxu's back, her heart pounding like a drum.

She had seen many masters, but she had never seen anyone kill such a ferocious creature as the sea monkey so decisively and cleanly.

That single strike was both sharp and domineering, yet it also carried an almost elegant composure.

Her breathing quickened slightly, and her eyes shone with an unusual light—a mixture of shock, adoration, and love.

"Is it really that strong?" she murmured to herself, unaware of the slight upturn at the corners of her mouth.

Just then, a dark figure silently leaped onto the deck. Rain dripped down his sparse hair, and his cold, stern face appeared particularly sharp in the lightning flash—it was the talkative, bald-headed Zhang Qiling.

He had come with a fishing boat to find Wu Xie and Gao Dongxu, but he didn't expect to encounter the ghost ship and see A Ning. He immediately jumped onto the ghost ship, and as soon as he climbed up, he witnessed the final scene of Gao Dongxu beheading the sea monkey with a single stroke.

At that moment, his pupils contracted slightly, and a rare flicker of emotion appeared on his usually indifferent face.

"So fierce, such a fast knife," Zhang Qiling thought to himself in surprise.

He himself was a master swordsman, but unlike his own style, Gao Dongxu's swordsmanship was not only fast, but also carried an almost overwhelming ferocity. That one strike not only severed the sea monkey's head, but also silently declared—this man was extremely dangerous.

Zhang Qiling's gaze slowly shifted from the sea monkey's corpse to Gao Dongxu, his eyes more profound than ever before.

"Are you alright? —" At this moment, A Ning dropped Wu Xie and saw the scratches on Gao Dongxu's diving suit. She rushed over to check on Gao Dongxu's injuries.

"It's nothing, just a tear in my wetsuit, nothing hurt me." Gao Dongxu said with a smile to the nervous-looking A Ning. Seemingly noticing the gaze behind him, he slowly turned around, raindrops sliding down his brow bone, his sharp eyes meeting Zhang Tuzi's gaze in mid-air.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the deck seemed to freeze.

Lightning flashed across the night sky, illuminating the faces of the two men—one expressionless, the other sharp and piercing.

"Heh." Gao Dongxu's lips curled into a meaningful smile. "Professor Zhang, you're quite skilled—"

Baldy Zhang immediately smiled and flattered, "Compared to Mr. Gao, I'm just a three-year-old. Your strike just now was truly amazing. I'll probably never forget it for the rest of my life, and I can brag about it for the rest of my life. By the way, let's hurry back to the ship. Your three men are very worried, and so is Brother Jiang. If I hadn't stopped them, they would have come over... By the way, what happened to Wu Xie? Why is he still lying there..."

Gao Dongxu's lips twitched a few times. Well, the masked Zhang Qiling really did become a different person. With this level of talkativeness, who could believe that he was Zhang Qiling in disguise?

"Wu Xie was being controlled by someone, so I knocked him unconscious," Gao Dongxu said, looking at Zhang Tuzi as he flicked his embroidered spring knife and sheathed it.

"A human-faced body?" Zhang Tu frowned and quickly stepped forward to examine Wu Xie.

“On the back of the neck—” Gao Dongxu reminded him.

A Ning and Zhang Tu flipped Wu Xie over, revealing a terrifying and grotesque human face on the back of his neck. A Ning immediately exclaimed in disgust, "How disgusting—"

"How do we get this thing down?" Zhang Tu asked Gao Dongxu, frowning.

“Cow hair is its nemesis; the boat captain and the others should recognize this monstrous thing.”

As Gao Dongxu spoke, he walked into the cabin. When he came out, he had a backpack in his hand. Then, under the twitching eyelids of Zhang Tu and the dumbfounded gaze of A Ning, he stuffed the sea monkey's head into the backpack.

"What do you want this thing for?" Ah Ning asked, frowning.

"Hehe, this is the legendary sea monkey. What does 'legendary' mean? It means there has never been any evidence to prove that they actually exist. Now I'm taking this head back to prove the existence of sea monkeys. Tell me, how much do you think it can sell for?" Gao Dongxu said with a chuckle.

"..."

"..."

Ah Ning looked at Gao Dongxu with a complicated expression, her lips twitching as she retorted, "No wonder you became a billionaire at such a young age..."

"Haha, this head alone could fetch at least a hundred or two hundred million. It's a pity the body was kicked into the sea by me. Otherwise, a complete sea monkey would be worth even more!" Gao Dongxu looked like he regretted missing out on a fortune, which made A Ning and Zhang Tuzi's foreheads crease with black lines. A million alpacas ran through their minds.

"Ah, we're here! Are you all alright?" Just then, the fishing boat that was supposed to pick them up caught up, and a group of people stood on the deck shouting at Gao Dongxu and his two companions.
