Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Although nitrogen armor remains effective and can still block seawater, some long-range wind blades have lost their effectiveness.

Bai Ye is trying to manipulate the trace amounts of gas dissolved in water to achieve the effect of water control, but he is still in the research stage and has not yet achieved any concrete results.

Besides Skadi, Miss Specter also joined in and sparred with Byakuya.

Her weapon was not well-suited for underwater combat. This chainsaw, manufactured by Rembit, did not seem to have waterproof features, and the circular saw would create splashes and bubbles underwater, which would first obstruct her vision.

White Night and Skadi are roughly evenly matched, while Laurentina, unarmed, is slightly inferior to White Night and Skadi.

There's no way around it; having your physical attributes weakened is a major drawback...

"No way!" Ghost Shark muttered helplessly as Skadi held him down in the water once again, before he surfaced.

Bai Ye and Skadi exchanged a glance, then laughed simultaneously.

The Specter Shark is definitely cuter when it's sober in this state.

The original state was far too oppressive. It wasn't hysterical madness, but a calm silence that created even greater pressure.

She was so quiet, or she would mutter to herself and pray with her head bowed, that it gave people a chilling feeling.

In comparison, it looks much better now.

-------------------------------------

"Hey, did you guys hear anything strange?" Laurentina, who had surfaced, suddenly turned to look at Bai Ye and Skadi.

Skadi blinked, then turned to look at the beach and nodded slightly.

"No wonder I could hear strange noises underwater... Was someone calling for help?"

Although there is not much air underwater, the gases dissolved in the water are still connected to the outside atmosphere. Therefore, even though the air is weakened, Bai Ye's detection ability can still detect the situation above the water when she is underwater.

"Do you want to go take a look? I don't really care." Ghost Shark shrugged.

She was rather indifferent to her existence on land, and very few people paid attention to her.

"Go and have a look."

Bai Ye and the two deep-sea hunters swam towards the beach and then witnessed a rather interesting scene.

"Come on! They're just a few bugs! I'll wipe you all out right here!"

"Damn it, the hem of my skirt is stuck... Ugh, this is bad! Why are there so many Originium Bugs here?! No, don't come any closer! Someone help me!"

A pretty young girl dressed in an elegant dress was surrounded by a group of Originium bugs, and her clothes were also corroded and messed up by the acid sprayed by the Originium bugs.

Through the irregular holes, Bai Ye could see the girl's fair skin beneath her clothes.

"How weak! She was actually forced into this state by bugs on the ground? It's unbelievable!" Ghost Shark couldn't help but comment sharply as he looked at the disheveled girl in front of him.

“Indeed…” Skadi nodded in agreement.

Bai Ye found it amusing: "Wearing a skirt and running into the wilderness, where did this ignorant young lady come from? Skadi, help her."

"Ah."

Skadi nodded, without even considering using the weapon she was carrying on her back.

She leaped up and then crashed into the earth like a meteorite, landing in front of the girl.

The swarm of insects that had formed a circle around Skadi was blasted away by the impact of her landing.

Although it seemed somewhat frenzied, the Originium Bug sensed the threat and retreated on its own.

"How embarrassing."

Skadi said this, reaching out to help the girl on the ground up.

"Phew—thank you...you guys?"

The girl straightened her disheveled clothes slightly, then looked at Bai Ye and the others who had suddenly appeared.

Just as she was about to say something more, Bai Ye suddenly turned to look at the lake.

At the same time, the expressions of the other two deep-sea hunters also became serious.

"What's wrong?" The girl asked, somewhat bewildered.

"Don't speak, something is coming ashore."

Chapter 138 Sanity Value Pinch!

"!!"

What exactly is it……

Ceylon's eyes widened unconsciously; she had no idea what was happening. Nothing around her had changed—the wind was still the wind, the water was still the water—but something seemed to be occurring.

That was something she couldn't understand.

A salty, fishy smell she had never encountered before began to spread, and the surrounding air gradually became damp.

Ceylon gradually felt short of breath and her chest felt heavy. She struggled to open her eyes and looked at the water in front of her.

Beneath the clear waters near the beach, some indistinct dark shape was wriggling.

"Relax, they're just some terror fish. Oh, and there's this big guy, but it's not a sea monster," Bai Ye said casually beside him.

Although his tone was quite relaxed, Ceylon could clearly see that there was no smile on the young man's face.

"I don't know where this rich girl came from, but here's a piece of advice: what happens next is not your business."

Bai Ye had his hands in his pockets.

In fact, he didn't know Ceylon, nor did he know whose young lady would be so idle as to come to such a deserted place to have fun, and almost put on some rather exciting shows with the Originium Bugs.

If it weren't for his and Skadi's timely intervention, the child would probably be fine, but would have been in a very, very sorry state.

Acidic Originium Bugs are like slimes from fantasy novels; although they are not strong, they can corrode clothes and equipment, making them the most hated monsters among female players.

Clumsy, inexperienced female players often provide some "fan service" moments for their teammates when they first encounter these bugs—of course, there's no guarantee that some of them might be perverted gentlemen who created cross-dressing accounts and deliberately went up to provide these moments.

The latter's mentality is probably like playing an adult RPG where you control a female character. On one hand, you want to complete the levels, but on the other hand, you want to intentionally give away points to unlock more defeat CGs.

Unfortunately, in the game, no matter how hard the player tries, they cannot break through the censorship of the game. Even when soaked in acid, the white cloth still maintains its last bit of stubbornness.

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

In short, Bai Ye's words distracted Miss Ceylon and freed her from the strange and oppressive atmosphere.

Miss Ceylon can finally breathe again.

Before her and Bai Ye, two deep-sea hunters swiftly switched identities. One second they were just tourists out having fun, the next they were hunters.

Skadi and Specter picked up their weapons.

Ceylon was certain that she had never seen warriors like them before; their speed and strength were simply astonishing. Even her proud family members and bodyguards were probably no match for them.

"Hahaha, long time no see, you filthy bug." Ghost Shark picked up his circular saw, a mocking smile on his face.

"I didn't expect them to be able to track us here. Could it be that there's been another leak of my aura?" Skadi was somewhat worried. She was certain that, apart from that one night, she hadn't shed any blood on the ground.

No, even if she bleeds on land, with such a long distance separating her from the deep sea, she shouldn't be able to attract Hai Si.

"Skadi, you've become weak. Do you remember our Deepsea Hunters' methods? Fight first, then confirm your strength in the struggle." Ghost Shark's face once again revealed a maniacal smile.

Her lips parted in a wide grin, an expression that, while not quite making her face hideous, was enough to frighten the children on Rhodes Island.

However, for Bai Ye, this kind of mad nun only added to her charm.

Unlike her previous frenzy during her battle with Byakuya, Ghost Shark still had a glint in her eyes. She hadn't lost her mind; it was simply her fighting style.

Those scarlet eyes were flashing with a fierce light.

Groups of terror fish walked ashore, followed by a monster with sliding tentacles. Its massive body was not cumbersome; it could move quickly both on land and in water.

"What...is that?" Ceylon stared at the strange species in front of him, which defied the ecological laws of terrestrial life, his mouth agape.

She could hardly believe that such a monster would appear in her hometown—could it be that someone was conducting a heinous biological experiment?

This is definitely not a natural species.

"You haven't left yet, Miss," Bai Ye said with certainty.

"I...I can't walk..." Miss Ceylon pointed to her legs, on the verge of tears. Her legs were weak and she couldn't stand up, let alone leave.

"I see... Don't worry about being embarrassed, it's already quite an achievement that you didn't wet your pants." Bai Ye's teasing did nothing to make Ceylon feel better; on the contrary, she was too ashamed to speak.

Bai Ye stopped standing beside the girl and took out his spare weapon, joining the hunt as well.

Using the techniques he had just learned from Skadi and Specter, Byakuya joined the girls' battle like a deep-sea hunter.

The sharp vacuum pressure shredded the flesh and soft tissue of the terror fish, the hammer-like air columns crushed their cartilage, and the invisible wind streaks turned the monster into fragments.

Finally, the three hunters came together and, together, wielding their weapons, charged at the last monster.

"You've learned well, Baiye. You're already a qualified hunter." Ghost Shark was quite talkative during the battle. As she spoke, she sawed open the monster's tentacles, tearing through the slippery skin to reveal the cartilaginous organs inside.

"good chance."

Bai Ye let air flow into the wound, then gently clenched his fist with the hand that wasn't holding the sword. Instantly, the gas exploded inside the monster's body.

"This is called... an internal organ attack?"

Bai Ye was somewhat unsure what kind of spell he was using, but compared to ordinary atmospheric spells, explosions seemed to be more effective.

There's no way around it; what's fatal to ordinary people—suffocation, atmospheric pressure, and being cut—is nothing to sea monsters. Especially sea monsters of this enormous size.

"Of course, there are even simpler methods."

Bai Ye manipulated the air to generate heat through friction, then threw an incendiary bomb at the monster.

Under the scorching heat and the amplification of the magic, the sea monster's shattered limbs quickly lost their vitality.

Currently, the most effective methods for dealing with sea monsters are light and heat, which is how the Iberian judges fought against them.

Unfortunately, this method is not applicable in the deep sea.

Even to prevent the sea creatures from continuing to evolve, the Agorians could only fight these monsters using the most primitive methods.

Under the scorching light and heat, the monster died quickly, its corpse rapidly turning into lifeless tiny crystals that then drifted away in the wind.

Chapter 139 The Surprised Ceylon

"ended."

Bai Ye and the two deep-sea hunters put away their weapons.

When fighting sea monsters, don't even think about cleaning up properly. After they die, their remaining limbs and viscous bodily fluids will quickly decompose and decompose, eventually turning into tiny crystals similar to sand, which will then rise and scatter.

They left nothing of value for the enemies who killed them.

Bai Ye walked up to Ceylon, who still looked shocked, clearly not yet recovered from the sudden turn of events.

"Let her rest for a while... Come to think of it, she's quite lucky to have seen the sea monster beyond Iberia and the deep sea."

Bai Ye's assessment of the young lady's good fortune wasn't without merit. Ordinary land dwellers would likely never see or hear of the deep sea in their entire lives. Only bounty hunters, who live a life of constant danger, would circulate rumors about the horrors and strange monsters of Iberia.

As for Iberia?

The country has imposed a strict blockade, prohibiting outsiders from entering, and the court is making every effort to eliminate the existence and influence of Haizi—rumors are forbidden within Iberia.

Those who saw the sea monster were either dealt with by the court, signed strict confidentiality agreements, or were simply recruited directly.

……

After a long while, Ceylon came to her senses. Looking at the calm water and clean beach in front of her, she couldn't help but shiver.

In her view, the familiar scenery before her eyes began to look somewhat terrifying.

"Don't be afraid, it won't happen a second time," Skadi comforted her.

"Don't mention this. You should teach her a lesson so she can stay away from danger in the future." Bai Ye rolled his eyes. Although Skadi seemed cold, she was indeed a gentle person.

While complaining, Bai Ye looked at the young lady and said, "You're a tourist, right? You should be able to walk by yourself now, right? You'd better go back quickly."

Bai Ye's words seemed to awaken Ceylon. She wiped her face, regained some of her usual composure as a young lady, bowed to Bai Ye and the others, and said, "Ah... cough cough, thank you all for whatever it was about. Although it's late, please allow me to formally introduce myself."

“My name is Ceylon Dorkos. I graduated from Victoria National University with a major in Originium research. I am also the daughter of the mayor of this city.”

"Oh——"

Bai Ye couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
