Chapter 114 Moonlight Shines as She Personally Finishes the Show
Shen Dixin clutched the Moonlight Necklace around her neck tightly; in truth, her actions at this moment did not conform to any of the pre-arranged plans.
This was the first time she had drunk so many buff potions, and each of her attributes increased by 24 points. Perhaps because her soul strength had already been enhanced, she not only did not explode and die, but also sensed the fluctuations of the Moonlight Necklace for the first time.
Soraya said that no mermaid would mistake it. Shen Dixin suddenly realized that it was as clear as a ray of sunlight shining in the deep sea. It would not cause any disturbance to the seawater, but no creature could ignore its existence.
Gentle yet full of vitality, this is the unique aura of Lotus Moonflower.
It spreads its message outwards with a thumping sound, like a beating heart.
After her average attributes exceeded sixty points, she seemed to be able to borrow some of Lotus's abilities.
No wonder relics hold such a high status among the merfolk; they can even be used to directly identify Shen Dixin as a friend, even though they are of different races.
Because handing over one's belongings to others to wear also carries the meaning of protection and inheritance.
Soraya once showed off her fishtail stud, an heirloom from her great-grandmother, saying, "If I don't have any descendants of my own, I'll give it to you!"
Healthy adult fish can live for at least three or four hundred years. Perhaps because of this, their "future" spans a particularly long period of time, yet they speak in a manner similar to humans talking about next year.
Shen Dixin certainly wouldn't stay here for long; she wasn't even sure what the situation would be like the following year, but there was no need to bring that up.
She looked at Soraya with the same gaze one would give to a filial son, and casually asked, "Can things from your tribe be given away to outsiders so easily?"
Soraya admired her fishtail from a different angle and couldn't help but reveal the truth, "Actually, this thing is nothing special. It's just used to guard baby mermaids. However, there have been few offspring born in recent centuries, and the tribe has a whole room full of relics about it."
Only mermaids who were powerful in life and respected by their clan will have fish go to the trouble of making relics for them after their death. Ordinary mermaids can't even get the materials approved. However, thousands of years of reproduction have accumulated quite a few relics, no matter how precious they are.
Soraya values Lotes's relics so much because the merfolk teach their children politeness and respect for elders from a young age, and to be respectful to their elders.
Secondly, even though they belong to the same clan, it's one thing to disrespect the elders of Hunterblade and Frenzy, but to do the same in one's own clan is definitely going to get you beaten up!
She paused, too embarrassed to admit that she had suffered greatly from it, and only vaguely said, "In short, apart from teaching the little mermaids to be good and being their first mentor, I've done nothing useful."
From the mermaid's perspective, it was nothing, because the little mermaid would eventually learn what the old mermaid knew, including creating a soul space and the skills of various races.
Lotus has been dead for nearly a thousand years, which is why her relics were left outside. Moreover, her soul power is relatively weak. Even though the mermaids of the Moonflower Clan have powerful souls, a thousand years is already her limit.
"Great-grandmothers are different; they accompany the little mermaid from birth to adulthood! They watch over me for at least six hours a day—it's terrifying!"
Soraya looked away with lingering fear, nervously glancing around.
...
Shen Dixin vaguely sensed a trace of her consciousness remaining. He didn't know when Lotus had recognized her, perhaps at the very first second of their contact. Otherwise, why would she have allowed him to equip her?
Her heart felt like it had been struck by lightning. She pursed her lips, roughly gathered her mental energy, and stuffed it all into the necklace. Following Lotus's unseen guidance, she cleansed her heart and triggered one of the brand's skills.
It is also the first skill that all the mermaids of the Moonflower Clan learn—Soul Impact, which uses their soul power to launch a simple attack. It is unpretentious but effective, especially against mentally vulnerable targets.
Someone who can organize players to kill their own kind for profit is naturally not weak-willed. The shadow man was hit by one soul attack after another, but he only frowned and returned to human form.
The four teammates next to him collapsed one after another. Although they were not seriously injured, they were in so much pain that they rolled on the ground and begged the shadow man to save them.
He didn't even lift his eyelids, just glanced at them a few times, and the four of them seemed to receive some kind of intimidation, their eyes glazed over, and it took them several seconds to come back to their senses. Their tone immediately became respectful and obedient, but their hands and feet were not very nimble.
The shadow man pondered for a moment and decided to stop holding back. Who knew how many times she could be resurrected? This kind of battle pace couldn't drag her out to death as he had previously planned.
His lips trembled slightly, as if he were uttering a few words.
The dark shadow beneath their feet suddenly swelled up and wriggled, actually spitting out the two people that Shen Dixin had killed earlier!
Their talents didn't seem to be usable on their own; Shen Dixin didn't notice anything unusual when they were killed.
Now, however, they all raised their hands, releasing a gravity field on the left that targeted only her, while on the right, they added a white halo to everyone, which looked like a buff, or perhaps a worse recovery status.
The enemies, no longer affected by the soul impact, rushed forward. As soon as Shen Dixin engaged them, he realized something was wrong: they had become stronger!
His attributes and reaction speed have improved by at least two times. He was hiding his true abilities before?
No, her sharp eyes caught sight of the man, who had been manipulating shadows from the rear the whole time; they had only just exchanged blows.
It was him who was playing tricks. Shen Qingxin's soul vibrated with the fluctuations of Lotes, and his sensing range became much larger and more sensitive. The fluctuations of the souls of these six people were very weak, and they were all connected by threads that seemed to be invisible to each other.
Having seen much, Chen Dixin had a guess: it must be a puppet-type skill.
The woman in front of him was still stubbornly unleashing her soul-shaking attacks. The shadow man's expression was unusually irritable. It couldn't kill him, but it was very torturous, like someone was constantly scratching a blackboard with their fingernails next to his ear.
But after she was revived, she acted completely out of character, running faster than a rabbit!
They were trying to take a hostage, but when they looked to the side, they saw that Lu Mingang had already jumped onto the boat and escaped while Shen Dixin was frantically chasing after him. He was now aiming his bow a dozen meters away.
The shadow man, unable to bear it any longer, brushed away the arrow that lightly landed on his head and silently commanded in his heart, "Painter, paint another bridge!"
"I'm sorry, boss, I... I'm out of energy."
Normally, he would give up on a target he hadn't been able to take down after half an hour of attacking, otherwise he would easily run into players coming to support him. But that was the top player on the leaderboard, who could make a living from that one hit for at least a year!
Anyway, he had figured her out completely. Her attributes were quite good; even after taking drugs, her hand trembled when she was stabbed.
However, that's all she can do. Her combat strength is not up to the top tier, she has no servants to fight alongside her, and her talent is of no help in combat. What can she do besides run away?
His shadow slaves can revive an average of five times. How can she kill them? Is it because she risked her life to kill the two weakest ones? Is it because she couldn't even land a single hit on them for several minutes while being surrounded by everyone?
Of course he noticed that Shen Dixin hadn't used any props or taken much medicine. The Shadow Man, who had killed so many people, wouldn't be stupid enough to overlook this. Shen Dixin had been on the leaderboard for so long; her foundation was exceptionally deep.
But so what? The disparity in strength is too great.
Even if other players come, as long as he can kill this woman in time, the other players will be leaderless and won't fight to the death to avenge her. It can also serve as a warning to others, so that everyone will follow his lead in the future!
The shadow man's eyes even held a hint of covetousness and arrogance, as if he could already see a bright future.
"Tiezhu, use recasting to narrow down the area. Huyun, go protect the painter. Nanny, focus on treatment. Erhua, change the characteristics of the gravity field every few seconds, don't let her discover the pattern, and drive everyone towards the substitute. I'll personally clean up the mess!"
