The golden afterglow filled the surging sea. A mottled deep-sea fishing boat split apart the sea water, cutting open the waves and breaking through the wind. At this moment, a capable figure stood at the bow of the ship, with his head held high and his chest crossed, standing in the wind. In the salty sea breeze, the black tarpaulin uniform sounded as the tips of its ears moved in the wind.

Under the setting sun, a knife, a gun, and a girl.

If you were standing beside her at this moment, you would find that her skin was wheat-colored and looked rougher than her peers. She wasn’t tall, but her entire body emitted a strong aura, just like a wild cheetah cub.

In silence, a slightly fat uncle appeared behind her and leaned against the railing at the bow of the ship. He sighed with emotion, “750,000 gold armored sea crossing, sea crossing!”

The young girl turned her head and looked at him indifferently. Her calm eyes were like an ancient well, unmoving.

“The people of the Far East always say that the setting sun is infinitely good, but it’s just near dusk …” The uncle recited a poem, his voice gentle and round, with a faint magnetism hidden in it.

“Is something the matter?” The girl interrupted him and asked expressionlessly.

“Uh” The uncle shriveled, then waved his hand and said, “No.” Then, the young girl nodded slightly to him and turned around to continue looking at the sea. Seeing that the young girl ignored him, the uncle had no choice but to return to the kitchen.

“Hahaha, there are times when you won’t be able to …” The fat chef heard the uncle’s complaint and laughed loudly. “You want to soak up our Tie Ling? In your next life.” The one who spoke was the former Big Dipper captain, Feng Yun, and the one with a gloomy expression was the current Big Dipper captain, Xia Yihan.

“Little girl was stupid a few years ago. Why did you teach her so fiercely?” The captain sighed.

“Naturally, that’s her temperament.” Feng Yun said. Over the past four years, Tie Ling had been diligently training every day. Adding on the awakening of her insect transformation talent two years ago, her strength had already surpassed most of the people on the Big Dipper. Even compared to the captain in front of her, she would not let it go. However, this old hooligan was extremely cunning. Tie Ling should not be his opponent.

“What do you call her ability? Illusory Butterfly? Is it just that others can’t see her?” The captain asked.

“Illusory Butterfly Camouflage, rare ability.” Feng Yun replied.

“Bullshit, you’re still invisible. Do you think it’s a fairy tale?” Said the captain disdainfully. Then he picked up the cup and was about to take a sip. However, at this moment, an inexplicable force suddenly pierced through his hand. In a blink of an eye, the cup flew away.

“Thank you.” With that, a figure appeared across the dining table. The next second, Tie Ling looked at him indifferently and took a sip from the cup.

In an instant, the captain felt a chill down his spine. Tie Ling drank this glass of water, which meant that she had been hiding in the house ever since Feng Yun poured water for him. It was precisely because she knew that he had not touched the glass of water that she drank it calmly.

“Good fellow” After a long pause, the captain came back to his senses and praised sincerely.

“Thank you.” Tie Ling didn’t hold back and expressed her gratitude again. In the past four years, she had grown from an astringent and thin girl to a true warrior. The powerful Illusory Butterfly Camouflage gave her the ability to kill with one blow. Among the deep-sea fishermen, no one dared to look down on her anymore. Apart from the natural “Illusory Butterfly Camouflage” and “Pump Circuit”, she also absorbed “Ant Muscles” from a girl who died young. Both her strength and speed had surpassed most humans.

At this time, Feng Yun came out of the kitchen with a cold kettle and a glass of water. As he poured water for the captain, he asked, “By the way, what kind of business are you going to do in the cemetery?”

“Come, I’ll show you.” The captain took a sip of the glass and waved to them. A moment later, the three of them arrived in the cargo hold. The captain took an iron rod and pried open one of the boxes.

“Motorcycle! Are you planning to smuggle it?” Looking at the brand-new sand sea flying fish in the wooden box, Feng Yun was shocked. Then, he cried out, “Do you want to take us to our deaths?”

“Calm down” The captain made a “silence” gesture. After the fat chef calmed down, he took out a silver badge and tossed it to him.

Feng Yun took a look and was shocked again. He saw a crescent moon and seven stars engraved on the badge. Upon closer inspection, there was a number “6” in the upper left corner of the badge, which was the symbol of the Crescent Alliance’s core layer.

“Why do you have this thing?” Feng Yun raised his head and asked in astonishment.

“You don’t have to worry about that.” The captain shook his hand gently and said like he was chasing flies.

Feng Yun stretched his neck and asked, “You didn’t steal it, did you?”

“Don’t ask too much. Curiosity killed the cat, you know?” Asked the captain. Then they brought the two of them to the captain’s cabin and spread out the nautical charts on the table, pointing to a port town on the northeast coast of Blackstone Mountain in the southern cemetery. “We docked at Burial Moon Bay, then went to the gathering place south of the Sewage River to sell, then to Twin Towers Town, Crow Town, Graytower Town, Pumpkin Town to buy medicine, and finally to the Sewage Bay in the northwest to meet up with Big Dipper.”

“Just the badge of the New Moon Alliance can do so much?” After listening to the captain’s narrative, Feng Yun couldn’t help but frown and ask.

‘”Of course not, but I think …” The captain lengthened his voice and threw a bag of money on the map, emphasizing, “No one will reject the gold coins.”

“I hope you’re right” Feng Yun saw the captain’s gaze and sighed.

Just as the three of them left the captain’s room and were about to head to the kitchen for dinner, Tie Zha drove his motorcycle into the ruins of the city.

The setting sun slowly sank into the horizon. When the last ray of light disappeared, Tie Zha finally found a foothold. This was the entrance to a collapsed building. Although it was filled with collapsed rocks, it formed a ten meter long passage and an irregular small room, just like a cave. Tie Zha set up a few small traps at the entrance, then pushed the heavy cavalry into the small room. He turned on the headlights and looked around. Apart from some weathered bones in the corner, it was basically clean.

Then he lit a lantern for illumination, heated the canned meat with a kerosene stove, took out his sleeping bag, and lay down beside the locomotive to sleep. Walking in dangerous areas, you must maintain enough energy. As long as you have the chance to rest, you must immediately go to sleep.

After a long time, the moon slowly rose, and the stars quietly appeared. The ancient ruins were completely silent.

“Bang … bang … bang … bang … bang … bang … bang … bang … bang …”

In the middle of the night, a deep breathing sound came from far to near, continuously rising and falling. A few seconds later, pale figures appeared under the curtain of night. Through the faint moonlight, one could see that they were all medium-sized dogs. Their skin was miserably white and looked somewhat morbid and smooth. Their scientific name is the White-skinned Cemetery Corpse-eating Dog, which is stronger and faster than the Black-skinned Corpse-eating Dog.

“Bang … bang … bang … bang … bang … bang … bang … bang … bang …”

A few seconds later, a white-skinned corpse-eating dog the size of a bull appeared amidst the increasingly intense gasps. With a low roar, more than a dozen white streaks flew out, sniffing around the entrance.

Not long after, they confirmed that there was prey in the cave, so they crawled on the ground and slowly climbed in.

“Ding!”

Suddenly, a crisp collision sound came from somewhere. The few Corpse Devouring Dogs at the front immediately stopped, raised their heads sharply, and looked around. Suddenly, a flash of fire erupted. With a loud “boom”, three Corpse Devouring Dogs were blown away. Several of them were also knocked to the ground by the air waves.

At the same time as the explosion sounded, Tie Zha woke up, immediately pulled out his gun, drew his knife, and turned on the headlights of the motorcycle. In an instant, bright lights illuminated the entire passage. At the entrance, white-skinned corpse-eating dogs were pouring in from outside. They roared, their saliva continuously dripping onto the ground, appearing extremely hungry.

Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and lifted Merrill Lynch’s left wheel, pulling the trigger five times in a row.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

Five explosive shells echoed out, knocking away the seven or eight Corpse Devouring Dogs that were charging at the front, and then exploding in the following pack of dogs.

After firing five rounds of bullets, Tie Zha raised his hand and stabbed the straight machete into the ground. Then, he swung his gun-wielding hand forcefully. With a “whoosh” sound, the high-speed spinning wheel popped out. Immediately after, he swiftly pulled out five explosive bombs from the belt on his chest and loaded them with “Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha”. With a final swing of his hand, he raised his gun and fired at the instant the wheel returned to its original position. In the entire process, it took less than three seconds from the time the bullets were fired to the time they were fired again.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

‘”

Under the fierce shooting, the Corpse Devouring Dogs that rushed into the passageway had no way to hide. They were piled together and screamed miserably as they retreated one after another. Seeing this, Tie Zha inserted Merrin’s revolver back into the holster on his waist, then pulled out the straight machete on the ground and rushed out.

In an instant, Tie Zha, who had entered the pack of Corpse Devouring Hounds, was like a meat grinder. Wherever he went, his bones were broken and his flesh was torn, and he howled endlessly. He wielded his saber in both hands and swept out with his round arm! Before the pack of dogs gathered in front of him could let out a mournful cry, they were swept to the side by the blade and squeezed into a ball that flew out.

Within ten seconds, Tie Zha had killed twenty or thirty corpse-eating dogs. His clean movements were like chopping melons and vegetables.

The leader of the Corpse Devouring Hounds, who had been observing from a distance, soon realized that they were the prey. He let out a roar and summoned the pack of dogs to retreat.

Hearing the leader’s call, the Corpse Devouring Hounds surrounding Tie Zha immediately scattered and fled in all directions. Just as the pack of dogs collapsed, Tie Zha’s pupils constricted and locked onto the nearby head dog. As if sensing his gaze, the Corpse Eater Leader let out a low roar and turned around to run.

Seeing this, Tie Zha exerted a force behind him and six knuckles leapt out. Then, he pounced forward and chased after him with both hands and feet.

The four-legged leader of the Corpse Devouring Hound, Tie Zha, was caught up in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the human behind him was getting closer and closer, it was about to fight to the death, but it turned around and bit him, but it was already too late. Tie Zha jumped up and opened six knuckles in mid-air, piercing into the corpse eating dog leader’s wide back as he fell.

“Ao!” The yak-sized corpse-eating dog let out a loud scream as it twisted its body and sprinted forward, wanting to shake off the hunter on its back.

Just as Tie Zha was about to pull out the dagger tied to his calf and stab it into the White-skinned Corpse-eating Dog’s spine, an inexplicable restlessness suddenly came from the front of the six knuckles, as if something was about to spurt out. He immediately released the dagger, following the throbbing sensation, his entire body suddenly tightened. In a comfortable sensation, a large number of parasitic cells shoot out from the tip of the knuckle foot.

“Ahhhhhhh …”

The leader of the White-skinned Corpse-eating Hound immediately let out an extremely painful howl and rolled on the ground. Tie Zha pulled out his knuckles and landed steadily behind him with a backward somersault.

“Ahhhhhhh …”

As the Corpse Devouring Hound continued to scream miserably, one red-shelled flying ant after another emerged from the piercing hole of its knuckle, flapping its membrane wings and leaping into the air.

A few minutes later, the corpse leader’s body was crawling with scouting ants. The corpse shriveled at a visible rate and finally turned into a pile of fur wrapped in bones.

Meanwhile, a scouting soldier ant flew out of the ant colony and placed a small crystal that emitted a faint cyan glow into Tie Zha’s hand. This was what he found in the brain tissue of the leader of the White-skinned Corpse-eating Dog through the eyes of the soldiers.

According to the description in the school textbooks, this crystal should be the “nucleus” of a mutated creature. It was of the same nature as the nucleus of the Abyss Hegemon and Abyss Ant Queen. However, the spectra, shapes, sizes, and growth locations they emitted were slightly different from those of the Abyss Hegemon and Abyss Ant Queen. The closer one got to the green, the more impurities there were, and the nearer one got to the blue, the purer one was. The nucleus contains a certain amount of radium 2315, which is an important component of high-end recovery drugs. Tie Zha weighed it. This crystal core weighed about fifty grams. It could extract two to three milligrams of radium 2315. The market price was around three hundred to four hundred and fifty gold. Back then, the thing he used to trade for You Ge was the gallbladder of an expired small healing needle. It was probably a careless nurse in Silver City No. 13. She thought that it would be useless if it expired, so she casually threw it away. Actually the radium 2315 in the liner can still exert the recovery ability, but the effect is a bit worse than the warranty period.

About ten minutes later, the soldiers landed one after another, turning into a pool of translucent green liquid. He discovered that compared to last time, the survival time of the soldiers was several minutes longer. It seemed that his lurking parasites would gradually adapt to the environment of the southern cemetery. Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before his scouting ants would return to normal.

Because the commotion just now was too big, in order to avoid attracting other creatures, after chasing away the pack of Corpse Devouring Hounds, Tie Zha moved to another place and set up a few more small traps. Then, he put on his sleeping bag and continued to sleep.
