"You brat, you do have some knowledge, haven't you seen this kind of shock spell before..."
The merchant's voice became even more eerie, his face even more ferocious, and his clothes began to tear violently and fall off...
This guy's muscles are growing at an extremely rapid rate!
In that case, I don't believe his physical fitness will improve as well.
This merchant is almost a monster.
Using terrifying poison arrays, they have stolen the names and magical powers of countless innocent people.
Lightning Strike Sword!
Without a word, the torpedo boat charged out and slashed hard at the man's thigh bone.
And this guy seems to be getting stronger, just like his bones are increasing in size!
The lightning sword was actually deflected at the first moment.
Holy crap.
I quickly asked Lei Jijian in my mind for the reason behind this.
After all, normally speaking, there shouldn't be anything that this lightning sword can't cut through.
Could it be that a person's body is more solid than that enormous monster weighing hundreds of kilograms?
Besides, now is not the time for him to back down; his power should be at its peak!
The merchant smiled maliciously.
"Hmph, once you enter this sea area, all you'll get is weakened and your abilities diminished!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but grit my teeth in anger.
Does he mean that the environment here will gradually weaken all living things?
No, before I could think too much, the merchant waved his hand and spread his arms, and then several thick needles suddenly emerged from under his armpits and waist.
This is!
I stared intently at the syringe, which immediately began to spray, releasing puffs of light green steam.
Damn, it must be poisonous.
Seeing that we remained unmoved, the merchant continued to manipulate the underground coral with his body and began to draw an array.
With each stroke, the coral branches seemed to come alive, like an ancient formation, capable of taking lives.
Lightning Strike Sword, Break Through the Formation.
I mentally directed the lightning sword.
However, the lightning sword's movements were not as swift as before. In addition, because it was in the water, the ocean current was faster, which greatly reduced the lightning sword's speed.
Just as the lightning sword was about to reach the edge of the formation, the merchant suddenly pulled out a strange lamp from his body.
"Mermaid Lantern!"
The merchant gave a sinister smile, as if he wanted to devour me.
Then, the mermaid lamp's mouth clicked open slowly.
What's in front of me looks like a real human face; the entire skull of the mermaid lamp has been removed, leaving it completely empty.
The two holes in the eye sockets, which should have been eyeballs, were now emitting an eerie gray-green light.
A pale green gas, similar to the one emanating from the merchant's rough pores, began to rise from the skull. A trace of blood remained on the upper palate. The decoration that had been inside the lamp was pulled out by the merchant and crushed.
The aura emanating from the lamp immediately changed from pale green to purplish-red, as if it were the blood of a dead person.
"Heh, so what if you have a magical artifact? It's useless. My mermaid lamp can devour all living power! Including your magical artifact!"
The purplish-red gas it emitted quickly spread towards us, leaving Lei Jijian somewhat at a loss.
To speed up the spread of this thing, the merchants also moved closer to me at an extremely fast pace.
And in my arms, the girl was still unconscious.
It's difficult to implement!
Honestly, in this situation, as long as you don't have a mental breakdown when facing a freak with rapidly increasing muscles, there's absolutely nothing to be afraid of.
Just how capable is this strange person? We've already tested him with the lightning sword.
But those were the creatures that trembled along with them. I am very clear about that. From the moment I entered this sea area until now, I have been perfectly conscious.
In other words, both the girl's and the Thunder Strike Sword's power were more or less influenced by this sea area.
Therefore, I myself should not have been weakened.
Even after soaking in this deathly seawater for a while, I had the illusion that my mind was clearer!
Give me a chance, just one chance.
"Master, I've drawn and rewritten his terrifying array over and over again!"
I heard the Thunder Sword in my heart silently groaning, but I only gave it the order to hold on a little longer.
As long as the lightning sword can successfully attract the merchant's attention, it's only a matter of time before it creates an opportunity for me!
Soon, the merchant arrived beside me with a mermaid lantern that was spewing out purplish-red gas.
He looked so fierce that I couldn't help but glare at him with disgust.
"What kind of reaction is this? I...I was being fair and impartial!"
The businessman was still using sweet talk at this moment.
"Pah! You're fucking disgusting!"
While cursing him, she was mentally issuing a command to the Thunder Strike Sword to continue its attack.
Meanwhile, Lei Jijian relentlessly slashed at the coral polyps in the sea below.
These lifeless corals are stubborn; the more they are cut, the longer they grow, and the faster they grow, the more they are chopped.
To my surprise, the businessman wasn't angry at all after being scolded.
He slowly approached me, and with his very thick, but pale and disgusting arms, he made a gesture to put his arm around my shoulder.
He then raised a finger to his eyebrows and tentatively began to speak.
"How about we make a deal? I've been a local bully for a while now, I've seen plenty of your type! Nothing special! But this guy lying next to you..."
What's the meaning?
I was completely stunned.
This guy can probably tell that I'm not affected by his seawater.
He was referring to Yiyi.
I guess it's related to water and land, although this guy doesn't know Yiyi's specific identity.
But you can definitely feel the strong connection and deep resonance between the girl and this land and ocean.
Although I was cursing inwardly, I couldn't refute this guy's judgment.
He specializes in killing passersby to draw strength from them.
In other words, the more influenced they are by his various methods, the higher their obedience will be when they are turned into that seaweed monster.
Someone like me, who has no connection or empathy with the seawater, is indeed unable to offer him any help.
But to snatch someone from my hands?
I tilted my head and continued to guide the lightning sword in my mind.
As the merchant approached, the girl in my arms reacted even more intensely.
That made my pupils shrink.
"How about it? If you help me, not only will I keep you, but I'll also need you to help me expand my small shop in the sea! Expand it to this entire sea area, turning it into this deathly stillness!"
As he spoke, the merchant began to reveal a very greedy expression.
His expression made it seem like he wanted to devour the girl next to me piece by piece.
