Survival on the Internet: A Bizarre Start at Sea

Standing by the pool, Su Zhisu stared at the pale fish skeleton floating in the center of the pool.

It lay there quietly, its empty eye sockets radiating a malice more twisted than all the emotional remnants before combined.

"This thing is probably some kind of 'core' in this area."

"Defeat it, and the erosion level should drop significantly."

"Lilia, be careful, this stuff is different from the previous residue."

"Understood, Your Excellency."

Lilia took a deep breath, held her staff horizontally in front of her, and pale pink dream dust began to swirl around her.

Su Zhisu did not rashly step into the pool.

He bent down, picked up a piece of bone covered in dark moss from the ground, weighed it in his hand, and then threw it forcefully into the center of the pool.

The broken bones tore through the air and fell into the iridescent water.

The broken bones fell into the pool without splashing, and half of them were still exposed.

"It seems the pool isn't deep."

However, the moment the broken bones touched the water's surface, the "calm" of the entire pool was shattered.

The pale fish skeleton shuddered violently, and the eerie green flames in its eye sockets surged!

The water in the pool began to churn violently, swirling inwards to form an ever-deepening whirlpool.

At the center of the whirlpool was the fish skeleton.

"Ugh—!"

The deep, hoarse voice, like the dying cries of countless drowning victims, came from the depths of the whirlpool.

Then, the bone fragments scattered around the pool, regardless of size, all began to tremble and float to the surface.

The moss on the surface grows wildly, sticking together and piecing them together.

Ultimately, this resulted in deformed, drowned skeletons.

[Drowning remains]

[Type]: Contaminated

[Level]: 3

[Status]: The summoned drowned one.

[Information]: The summons of the fish head skeletons are all drowned creatures that will continuously regenerate before their main body is destroyed.

[Hidden message]: Be careful not to get entangled in their moss.

"Lilia, be careful! Hold them off while I deal with the fish head skeleton!"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Zhisu had already shot off like an arrow.

The target is not the skeletal servants who are rising up, but the whirlpool in the center of the pool!

The moment he stepped into the pool, the pale fish skeleton rose completely from the whirlpool.

【The Bone of Obsession in the Deep Pool】

[Category]: Contaminated individuals

[Level]: 8

[Status]: The obsession of the drowned, corrupted by the past, gathers on the fish-head-shaped skeleton.

[Information]: The obsession corrupted and mutated by strange power gathers on the fish head skeleton, which can summon the drowned, fire drowning water arrows, and slowly regenerate.

The massive skeleton began to slowly move, its empty eye sockets locking onto Su Zhixu.

The enormous mouth, made of sharp bone spurs, opened wide, and a thick, dark green jet of water, exuding a sweet and putrid odor, shot out!

Su Zhisu was prepared and dodged to the side.

The water arrow grazed past and struck a strange tree behind him, instantly corroding a large hole in the trunk, from which more dark green moss grew.

"It is highly toxic and can also spread pollution."

He pushed off with his feet, stepping on the soft ground by the pool, increasing his speed even further, and charged straight at the fishbone.

Several newly pieced-together skeletons staggered and lunged to block him, but Su Zhisu casually swung his sword and shattered them.

"Dream Dust, sleep now!"

Lilia's magic arrived just in time, and all the skeletons around her fell into a deep sleep.

The dream dust landed on the skeleton, making a faint "sizzling" sound.

The eerie green flame in the fishbone's eye socket suddenly dimmed, and dormant emotions began to encroach upon the drowning resentment.

However, the difference between the two was too great, and the fishbone's swimming movement only showed a slight lag.

But the water jet that was being prepared was shattered.

"efficient!"

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Su Zhisu rushed to the fishbone.

A cloying, rotten smell wafted over him, but his eyes remained unmoved.

[The Curved Blade Towards the Storm] Slashes fiercely at the thinnest part of the fishbone!

"clang--!"

A deafening roar, like the clash of metal, exploded!

The blade transmitted a tremendous recoil force; the bone's hardness far exceeded expectations!

Su Zhisu's physical attribute of 25 points was fully displayed at this moment. His muscles swelled up and he forcefully pressed the blade into his bone!

A deep crack appeared on his cervical spine, and the Night Watch Heart Flame began to burn at the crack.

The fishbone let out a painful hiss, its massive body writhed wildly, and its tail, covered in bone spurs, swept across!

Su Zhisu drew his sword and retreated hastily, narrowly avoiding the sweeping attack.

Its tail swept through the air, producing a dull thud.

"A direct confrontation is unwise; we must find its weaknesses."

"Is it eyes?"

His gaze locked onto the empty eye sockets, where two faint, eerie green flames were burning.

Lilia's dream dust drifted down again, and although it couldn't be controlled for long, it always managed to interrupt its attack rhythm.

The battle entered into a close-quarters engagement.

Su Zhisu kept swimming around and probing the huge fish skeleton.

He specifically targets relatively vulnerable areas of fish bones, such as joints and crevices.

Each time the scimitar fell, it left a mark on the pale bones, as well as the flames of the Night Watch.

Under the burning flames of the Night Watch, the cracks stopped healing, and the fishbone grew increasingly agitated.

It let out a hiss, forcibly waking the sleeping [Drowned Skeleton], which then spewed poison water at a much higher frequency.

"Lilia, try to interrupt the fish-headed skeleton's attack. Leave the [Drowning Skeletons] to me."

Su Zhisu shifted his attack target to the numerous [Drowning Skeletons], but the fish-head skeletons' hatred remained firmly locked onto him.

With Lilia's interruption, although he was occasionally hit by water arrows, Su Zhixu still managed to defeat [Drowning Skeleton] with overwhelming force.

"That's about enough... The [Drowned Skeleton] is regenerating, and the fish head skeleton's movements are starting to change. It's time to deal with it."

Fishbone had just finished spitting out a water jet and was briefly stunned.

Lilia's dream dust then enveloped her.

It's now!

Su Zhisu pushed off with his feet, no longer dodging, but instead charging towards the fishbone!

Just as he was about to collide with the ferocious fish head, he ducked and slid under it.

At the same time, the curved blade in his hand slashed upwards fiercely towards the relatively vulnerable lower jaw of the [Fish Head Skeleton]!

"Snap!"

A large piece of jawbone was chopped off.

The fishbone, in pain, slammed its head down.

Su Zhisu, however, had already used the force of the slide tackle to flip himself up and landed behind and to the side of the fishbone.

Without pausing for a moment, he unleashed all his strength in his legs, leaping into the air and landing directly on the broad back of the fishbone!

The fishbone thrashed wildly, trying to shake him off, but Su Zhisu's left hand gripped a protruding bone spike tightly to keep his body in place.

He raised his right hand high with the curved sword, concentrated all his strength on the tip of the blade, and stabbed it fiercely at the junction of the back of his neck and head, where he had already cut a crack!

"Break!"

The blade flashed like lightning, precisely piercing the crack and disappearing all the way to the hilt!

"Awooo—!!!"

A piercing shriek echoed throughout the decaying woodland.

The massive body of the fish-headed skeleton convulsed violently, and the eerie green flames in its eye sockets flickered wildly and erratically.

Cracks spread from the point where the knife pierced the skull towards the entire head and part of the neck.

Su Zhisu decisively let go, jumped off the fishbone back, and rolled a few times to create distance.
