Survival on the Internet: A Bizarre Start at Sea

The amber giant eye turned to the anchor mark on the back of Su Zhisu's hand: "My lord, please be careful."

The giant tortoise's thoughts were filled with despair: "It's advancing... it's ten times stronger than usual."

"However, your flames are peculiar; right now, it fears them more than ever before."

Su Zhisu looked around.

The flesh walls contracted violently under the illumination of the heart flame, and the branches and leaves of the giant tree in the center of the lake trembled slightly.

He used the online trading interface to urgently exchange for 150 units of wood and 50 units of iron.

He arrived at the core altar of sacrifice, restored the Redemption's durability, and the ghostly skeletal arms were reborn.

Before setting off, I asked [Lucky Little Cat] for a blessing, the price of which was a magical dust.

After confirming that everything was ready, Su Zhisu gave the order: "Let's go."

The ghostly blue flames surged instantly, engulfing the entire Redemption.

The Redemption plunged into the crimson lake, where the giant trees emitted uneasy shrieks.

All the vesicles opened simultaneously, and blue-green phosphorescence spread like a tide.

But when it touches the barrier of the Night Watch's Heart Flame, the phosphorescence dissipates like snow meeting boiling water.

"It's scared." Su Zhixu stroked the curved blade. "Then make it even more scared."

Protected by the Night Watch Heartflame, the Redemption sped toward the center of the Blood Lake.

With each foot the tree advanced, the shriek from the giant tree grew more piercing, and the roots convulsed more violently.

The giant amber eyes closed and opened on the fleshy walls, as if gathering their last strength.

"The contractor does not accept the request."

Su Zhisu stood at the bow of the boat, glanced at the gray-blue mark on the back of his hand, and pointed his scimitar at the center of the lake.

"I saved your life. Afterwards, take me to Atlantis."

The amber giant eye trembled violently, and the language of the deep sea roared within Su Zhisu's skull: "The contract is established, Your Excellency! Agasa swears to the great deep-sea titan that he will deliver you to the Pearl Gate of Atlantis!"

Before the words were even finished, the entire "island" trembled violently, letting out a deafening roar, and the blood lake surged like boiling water.

Countless tree roots were pulled from the heart, their ends dripping blue-purple blood.

White mist filled the air as the giant tree rose from the ground, its canopy reaching the dome of flesh.

"Here it comes!" Su Zhisu lightly tapped the tip of his knife.

Inside the gun bay, the eerie skeletal arms simultaneously loaded materials, and the four water-soaked cannons spewed forth tongues of fire.

The cannonball tore through the fog, but before it could hit the tree trunk, it was blasted apart by a barrage of numbing purple leaves fired by the [Weeping Bone Demon King].

"roar--!"

The Weeping Bone King emitted a piercing shriek, its sound waves slicing through the air like invisible blades.

Su Zhisu's vision suddenly went dark, and countless faces twisted and wailed before his eyes, the sharp sound of fingernails scratching the blackboard piercing his brain.

[Mental corruption has affected the talent "Yearning for true freedom," resistance difficulty 70, currently assessing...]

【1d100+30=75＞70】

[Resistance successful!]

Just as the judgment was made, the gray-blue brand on the back of Su Zhisu's hand suddenly became hot.

A barely perceptible ripple swept across the deep sea, startling him into consciousness.

It was an ancient and majestic will, like a gaze fixed from the bottom of a ten-thousand-meter abyss.

Su Zhisu suddenly realized: this reward was not random.

Through the brand, the deep-sea titan is watching this battle, watching its devout worshipper, Agasa.

The giant turtle that carries this creature embodies a faith in the great being—the deep-sea titan.

Every journey it makes between the deep sea and the land is a silent prayer offered to the great being—the deep-sea Titan.

This time, it is about to transform, and its inauguration ceremony will be held after this round trip, pointing towards the great deep-sea Titan.

Despite the excruciating pain, Su Zhisu gritted her teeth and swung the knife.

A gray-blue halo spread from the brand on the back of the hand to the blade.

"Stop!" he shouted, slashing the tip of his blade at the incoming bone whip.

The three thickest bone whips of the giant tree froze in mid-air, as if bound by invisible chains, and the Night Watch Heart Flame began to spread.

Su Zhisu seized the opportunity and roared, "Fire!"

The flooded cannons roared, and the shells easily penetrated the bone whip's protective barrier, blasting scorched craters into the tree trunk.

As soon as the bone whip broke free of its restraints, Su Zhisu swung his sword, and the dark blue flames surged, burning away the cluster of vesicles hanging from the tree canopy.

A sinister skeletal arm seized the opportunity, shooting a flaming, cold-light harpoon into the exposed eye of the tree, only to be whipped away by a burning, pain-inducing bone whip.

A large number of anesthetic purple leaves fell, shooting directly at the Redemption.

Purple leaves kept piercing through the barrier of the Night Watcher's Heart Flame, and Su Zhisu kept parrying with his sword, sending wood chips flying from the deck.

The giant tree shook violently, and the giant eye in the center of its canopy suddenly opened, unleashing a skill that wasn't displayed on the [Weeping Bone Demon King] information panel.

The floating blue-green phosphorescence coalesced into a beam of light, shooting straight toward the Redemption.

"Hard to port!" The ship narrowly avoided the attack, the beam of light grazed the starboard side, and the three skeletal arms instantly carbonized.

"Now!" The opportunity was fleeting, and he leaped onto the bow of the ship.

The curved blade ignited with a ghostly blue flame as Su Zhisu hurled it with all her might.

The blade flashed like a meteor, piercing through the blood mist and instantly triggering [Wrath of the Deep Sea] the moment it pierced the giant eye's pupil.

The giant eye, along with the surrounding branches, remained completely still. The eerie blue Night Watcher's Flame, centered on the giant eye, gradually spread throughout the entire body of the [Weeping Bone Ghost King].

The countless twisted ghost faces on the tree trunk of the 【Weeping Bone Ghost King】simultaneously emitted violent wails.

[Network Notification]: You interrupted the ascension ceremony of [Weeping Bone Ghost King].

Agassiz's heart pounded violently, and all the tree roots snapped open as if struck by lightning.

The ghostly face of the [Weeping Bone King] let out a final wail before crashing into the center of the lake.

Before sinking, the giant eye in the tree canopy stared intently at Su Zhisu, a strange smile flashing deep in its pupils.

[Network Notification]: You have killed [Weeping Bone Ghost King].

Su Zhisu distributed her attribute points equally between her physical and mental abilities.

The blood lake suddenly boiled, and a seed the size of a pearl floated to the surface, surrounded by an eerie white mist.

Seed of the Mist

[Quality]: Purple Epic

[Information]: This is the very core that corrupted the [Weeping Bone Demon King]. Use grants the talent [Blessed by White Mist].

【Navigation in the White Fog】: You can travel to any place shrouded in white fog.

[Hidden Message]: The white fog is no longer a problem for you, but you will also be drawn to it.

The scimitar was hung back on his waist, and Su Zhisu carefully put away the seeds.

There was a hidden message indicating that he didn't intend to use the seed himself, but he now had a solution for the special materials needed to upgrade the Redemption.

At this moment, the flesh wall stopped wriggling, and the bluish-purple blood vessels returned to a healthy blue-gold color.

The giant amber eyes opened gently: "Thank you, esteemed and great being—messenger of the Deep Sea Titan. I will take you to Atlantis as promised."

The water level of Blood Lake dropped rapidly, revealing a sunken stone platform at the bottom of the lake.

The surrounding fleshy walls slowly closed in, and the Redemption swayed gently with the waves, riding the stone platform back into the fleshy space inside the hill.

The fleshy walls beneath his feet closed, and the blue-gold heart vanished.

Su Zhisu looked up—the cavity inside the hill was being covered by a newly formed flesh membrane.

As the last ray of light disappeared, the fleshy walls surrounding the Redemption became transparent, and he saw the scene on the surface of the island.
