Chapter 973: Living Is Worse than Being Dead! (Please Subscribe and Give Me a Monthly Ticket)

In front of the big screen in Dragon Kingdom, the vast majority of the audience were confused.

Without his teammates, the chosen one was really too lazy to talk.

Only by relying on the constant explanations of the expert team and some passers-by can the audience understand one or two things.

When the audience still didn't know why Zhang Yangqing took off the anklet of his colleague's corpse.

Zhang Yangqing put on his anklet and jumped into the sea.

A magical scene occurred. After putting on the anklet, his swimming speed was more than four times as fast as before.

You know, the salvage workers played by the chosen ones can swim faster in the water than ordinary people. This is the passive ability of the salvage workers.

But it is far inferior to the fish in the deep sea.

Zhang Yangqing puts on this anklet, as if he has two pushers on his legs.

Ordinary fish can't swim faster than Zhang Yangqing's speed.

The moment he swam out of the water, Zhang Yangqing knew that the two things on his legs were definitely at the level of 'artifacts'.

It's useless on land, but it has a huge effect in the sea.

But nothing is perfect. This thing also has a shortcoming, that is, it consumes a lot of physical energy when activated.

People who are not physically strong enough may be exhausted before long.

This may also be the main reason why the Kaitan World transforms the bodies of the Chosen Ones.

Extraordinary people may complain about being weakened, but the principle of the Kaitan world is to allow ordinary chosen people to survive.

This is why many Chosen Ones emphasize when teaching newcomers that if they want to survive in the world of ghost stories, they should judge from the perspective of ordinary people as much as possible.

There are only a handful of people in Blue Star who can learn from Zhang Yangqing.

"No wonder this colleague dared to catch the mermaid, and I can understand why he was able to run away from the attack of the sea beast. If he hadn't been betrayed by his teammates, and if there hadn't been this wound on his shoulder, he might have survived."

Zhang Yangqing analyzed it internally for a while.

The world of weird stories is like this. Sometimes it’s not that you are incompetent. If your teammates force you to sell, no one will survive.

Zhang Yangqing could even feel the despair of this colleague when he was exhausted.

"We are working together, please do me a favor, let's bury him."

Zhang Yangqing also expressed his gratitude to his colleague after receiving such a prop.

Letting his body not be exposed on the beach after death, and not being eaten by fish, is a kind of respect for the deceased by the people of the Dragon Kingdom.

Including Zhang Yangqing, there were five people here. They quickly dug a hole in the nearby land and buried the dead salvage worker.

When he returned to the salvage boat, the bearded man felt a little pity. It would be great if the salvage worker had not died.

This will give Zhang Yangqing a big help.

Zhang Yangqing felt that this was not necessarily the case. It would be best if the salvage worker died.

Here, Zhang Yangqing did not curse him to death, nor did he mean to disrespect the deceased, but simply analyzed the pros and cons.

If the salvage worker doesn't die, he won't be able to obtain the treasure that accelerates underwater.

According to other intelligence, the salvage worker had some skills but was very greedy.

Moreover, he has been betrayed by his teammates, so he probably doesn't trust his teammates in his heart.

He went into the water with Zhang Yangqing, and it was good that he didn't encounter any problems. If he encountered danger, he would definitely sell Zhang Yangqing.

The most important thing is that Zhang Yangqing's speed can't match him, so the outcome can be imagined.

Based on these conjectures, Zhang Yangqing still felt that it would be better for him to die.

But again, Zhang Yangqing only thought in his heart and expressed regret with his mouth.

Otherwise, these aborigines would think he was very cold-blooded.

Next, Zhang Yangqing began to analyze whether he should catch a mermaid or not.

If you catch a mermaid, the outcome is likely to be that the mid-level salvage ship will be attacked by powerful overlord-level sea beasts and sea tribes.

The result must be very tragic. It would be good if it could be like the broken salvage ship that returned to port. If it was directly sunk to the bottom, it would be a big trouble.

Zhang Yangqing actually has a special way of thinking, which is the theory of indirect causation.

The chief of the Yarna region caught the mermaid, causing the entire Yarna region to sink to the bottom of the sea.

A fellow salvage worker was preparing to catch a mermaid, but he died and the salvage boat was damaged.

I released the mermaid yesterday and nothing happened.

Zhang Yangqing felt that the mermaid might be a symbol of disaster, a vicious accumulation of cause and effect.

According to Taoism, it breaks the balance of heaven and earth.

In this world, humans and sea people do not talk about peaceful coexistence, but they also do not interfere with each other. This is a hidden rule.

If anyone easily destroys the balance of heaven and violates this big rule, disaster is likely to happen.

Zhang Yangqing in his heyday was not afraid of this. Whether it was in the previous Guitaan or in Blue Star, he was strong enough to withstand the sanctions of cause and effect.

But it's different now. Zhang Yangqing has no strength at all and can only rely on his own judgment.

Then he has a lot to consider.

The best way is to negotiate peacefully, which Zhang Yangqing ruled out from the beginning, which is obviously no longer possible.

If he didn't catch the mermaid, how would he know how to control the sea beast?

In fact, Zhang Yangqing has already received a benefit, which is the acceleration anklet.

Many viewers are thinking that Zhang Tianshi must be unwilling to leave at this moment.

You're here, the benefits are nearby, and no one will be happy if you don't get them.

But Zhang Yangqing's idea was not that simple. He didn't have the help of his teammates. The next ghost story would face the weirdness that was hostile to the Chosen One. What's the use of relying on an escape prop?

He could survive, but he couldn't get out if he couldn't complete the mission.

The mermaid was easy to talk to yesterday. If she was here, she might be able to negotiate.

But Zhang Yangqing had already let her go. It was a vast ocean. Unless a special event was triggered, it would be difficult to meet her.

And this event must be related to the 'Dragon Palace' and the 'Four Dragon Kings'.

No one is perfect, and Zhang Yangqing is not omnipotent. He can only speculate based on the existing intelligence. Such intelligence will be given later, and he can't guess in advance.

Zhang Yangqing didn't have the kind of luck that could defeat the heavens and meet a mermaid in distress nearby.

After thinking it over again and again, he decided to suspend the second side quest.

It was definitely not a good choice to forcibly salvage the mermaid, and it was not easy to communicate. There was no need to waste time here.

The salvage ship headed towards the location of today's main mission.

After another hour of sailing, it was already 12:17 in the middle of the night. The night wind began to get cold, and Zhang Yangqing was the last chosen one to arrive at the mission point.

As soon as he arrived in this area, Zhang Yangqing felt "familiar".

A sea area shrouded in thick black air quietly appeared in front of everyone.

The sea surface was no longer calm, as if it was stirred by an invisible force, rippling layers, and the black air was like a living thing, shuttling between the waves, making a low and strange whimper.

It was as if there was some strange creature hidden in it.

As the ship slowly approached the cursed sea, an indescribable fear began to spread in the hearts of the crew.

They looked at each other, with anxiety and fear in their eyes.

This is an area where even luxury cruise ships have sunk. Can their intermediate salvage ship withstand it?

When the ship finally stopped in this sea area, the silence around was broken by a sudden slight collision sound.

The sound was right around the salvage ship, as if something was hitting the salvage ship, making people shudder.

The crew looked at each other, and the anxiety in their hearts reached its peak in an instant.
