The two of them fought for a few seconds. Mu Chen felt as if his throat was about to break, and it was impossible for him to breathe.
It all depended on this attack!
He raised the Tang sword in his hand again and stabbed at the neck of the blue whale!
The " blue whale " looked at him mockingly and allowed him to stab the knife.
However, the next second, the " blue whale " couldn't laugh anymore. His eyes bulged in disbelief.
The Tang sword pierced through Mu Chen's palm and the throat of the blue whale!
As for the 'bubble', it didn't appear.
Mu Chen relied on his own body to break through the blue whale's defensive ability!
Mu Chen felt like his entire body was drained of energy as he watched the " blue whale " fall to the ground while clutching its throat.
Did I finally win?
Did I finally survive?
At this moment, his eyes focused.
No!
Mu Chen raised his hand and looked at his left hand that had been pierced.
It hurt!
However, not a single drop of blood flowed out…
He looked through the wound and saw that the bleeding had not stopped…
It was because he had no blood!
So, am I still dead?
Mu Chen finally remembered that the " Old Wolf " had cut his neck just now. His blood had already dried up.
White mist surged in front of him. Suddenly, a high platform made of white mist rose up. On it was a throne made of white mist.
Feeling a call from the soul, Mu Chen could not help but walk up the white fog stairs to the high platform and sit down on the White Fog Throne.
A feeling of looking down on the common people arose spontaneously.
" I'll give you a chance to be reborn…"
The voice came again, but Mu Chen could not hear the rest of the words clearly. He had already closed his eyes and stopped breathing.
It was as if he had died again…
The white mist began to shrink rapidly toward the throne and seeped into Mu Chen's body through his nose and mouth.
The white mist turned into a stream of energy that flowed into his limbs and bones, replacing his blood and reactivating his heartbeat and pulse.
For a moment, Mu Chen's entire body emitted a dazzling purple light that illuminated the Thousand Islands.
After an unknown period of time, Mu Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
It was clearly the bright beach of the Thousand Islands. Where was the white fog and throne?
Was it just a dream?
However, he soon realized that it was not a dream, because the bodies of the three mercenaries were lying in front of him.
Especially Blue Whale, whose eyes were wide open and died with grievances!
He quickly looked at his left palm.
There were no wounds…
He touched his neck again.
There was no cut…
I remembered wrongly!
Those things did not exist!
A few seconds later, that memory had completely disappeared from Mu Chen's mind.
His other memories were also a mess. At the same time, there was a strong sense of strangeness and estrangement.
There was a large amount of memories stored in his mind, but it was like a book that had lost its contents, making it impossible for people to look it up.
Only when he recalled certain things would a relevant memory emerge.
She felt that this body was not hers.
If not for the fact that he could not find any more memories in his mind, he would have even suspected that he had transmigrated or been reborn.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded,"
" Discovered 'Ocean Life' special ability. White quality. Absorb?"”
Mu Chen looked left and right in puzzlement, but there was no one else besides the three corpses on the ground.
The murlocs in the sea could not speak.
Not far away, there was a murloc that had been killed by the three mercenaries. A small white bead floated on the corpse.
It was the ability seed of the " marine life ", which could be absorbed by swallowing.
Besides, don't I only have five ability slots?
Four of them had already been taken, and the last spot could not be wasted on a white grade trash ability.
When he thought of the ability slot, a character panel suddenly popped up in Mu Chen's mind.
Character: Mu Chen
[Aptitude: Extremely poor]
[Ability Slots: 5]
[Ability slot 1: Bear Power]
[Rarity: Grey]
[Ability slot 2: Leopard's Agility]
[Rarity: Grey]
[Ability slot 3: Dolphin's Wisdom]
[Rarity: Grey]
[Ability slot 4: Phosphorescence]
[Rarity: White]
[Ability slot 5: Mirage]
[Rarity: Purple]
[Strength: 5 10]
[Agility: 5 10]
[Intelligence: 5 5]
[System prompt: The first three measurements are the character's own data, and the last are the special ability bonuses.]）
Wait a minute!
A system notification?
I have a system!
The voice just now came from the system!
"System, is that you?"
“……”
"System, say something."
“……”
"System, are you there?"
“……”
No matter how Mu Chen tried to seduce her, the system remained indifferent.
This was a system that could not be communicated with.
At this moment, Mu Chen finally noticed something else. All five of his ability slots had been occupied.
The last ability he absorbed was the Mirage…
When did this happen?
Why didn't I know about this?
However, purple grade!
It didn't seem to be a loss.
Although he was still unsure of how to use the Mirage superpower, Mu Chen discovered a new problem.
Since his five ability slots were full, why did the system ask him if he wanted to absorb the Sea Life ability?
Can it be absorbed?
He would give it a try. There were no ability slots to waste anyway.
"Absorb!" Mu Chen responded to the system in his mind.
In the next second, the Esper Ability Seed on the murloc's corpse turned into a ball of white light and flew toward Mu Chen. It entered his body through his mouth and nose, washing over his body like a surging tide.
He only felt that his entire body was slippery and greasy, and his body seemed to be covered in a layer of mucus and fish scales.
When he lowered his head to look at himself, he could faintly see a layer of illusory scales appearing on his skin.
Ocean Life was one of the most basic abilities of the Thousand Islands. After absorbing it, it could improve a person's swimming, diving, breath-holding time, and many other abilities.
At the same time, the " Ocean Life " would also grant the user the effect of illusory scales, which would slightly increase physical defense and evasion.
After a while, Mu Chen's skin returned to normal.
At this moment, the cold system notification sounded again.
"Absorbed 'Ocean Lifeform' special ability. Quality: White.”
" System has detected that 'Ocean Life' and 'Dolphin's Wisdom' have the same origin and can be combined.”
" Merging 'Ocean Life' and 'Dolphin's Wisdom' into the 'Water' ability tree.”
Merging!
Ability Tree?
Mu Chen was pleasantly surprised when he heard that. He quickly looked inside his Character Card.
The original ability slot No. 3 had now become a drop-down menu.
[Ability Tree 3: Water]
[Ability: Dolphin's Wisdom]
[Rarity: Grey]
[Ability: Ocean Life]
[Rarity: White]
Unknowingly, Mu Chen only used five ability slots to gain six abilities.
This system was amazing!
Ever since supernatural powers invaded Earth, humans had also embarked on the path of supernatural powers. Soon, they discovered that according to everyone's aptitude, the ability slots that could be activated were also different.
A normal person would have at least ten ability slots. The best known person would have twenty ability slots, and the average person would have thirteen.
As the system had said, Mu Chen's aptitude was extremely poor and he only had five ability slots.
This meant that he could only absorb five superpowers in his life.
Three ability slots were occupied by gray attribute abilities, and the only offensive ability, Phosphorescence, was only white.
Before he obtained the Mirage, he only had one ability slot left. Even if he was lucky enough to absorb a high-quality ability, without the support of the system, no matter how strong a single ability was, its effect would be very limited.
For example, healers had four types of abilities: healing, purification, detoxification, and blessing. Not to mention, there were also upgraded group healing, first aid, and other high-quality abilities.
Without the system, Mu Chen, who only had five ability slots, would not be able to achieve much in his life. Even if he were to be a nanny, he would only be a half-baked baby, let alone other combat professions.
Although Mu Chen did not know the upper limit of the system's ability to combine abilities, it was good news.
At the very least, he would be able to obtain double the number of abilities and be on par with ordinary people.
Not to mention that he had already absorbed a purple quality Mirage ability.
One had to know that among the eight-colored abilities, purple was already considered a high quality. It was not something that ordinary people could have.
Most people could only have blue grade Esper Abilities at most in their lifetime.
My life has finally started cheating. It's time to take off.
Mu Chen thought smugly, which also diluted the anger and unwillingness of being murdered.
Speaking of murder, Mu Chen subconsciously looked down at the three corpses on the reef.
After hesitating for a while, he began to search the body.
Mu Chen wanted to find evidence that the Lin family wanted to kill him from the mercenary trio.
But there was no such thing!
These people were very cautious. They did not have anything directly related to the Lin family of the East Sea.
Mu Chen rummaged for a long time and only found a small leather pouch.
He casually opened it and saw a few white ability seeds inside. They were all the rewards the trio had obtained from hunting the murlocs.
" Discovered 'Ocean Life' special ability. White quality. Absorb?"”
" Discovered 'Ocean Life' special ability. White quality. Absorb?"”
" Discovered 'Ocean Life' special ability. White quality. Absorb?"”
The system's voice sounded again, and its voice was as cold as ever.
System, are you stuck?
Why did he repeatedly send out the same notification?
'I've already absorbed the Sea Life Esper Ability…'
Mu Chen fiddled with his pocket and found that there were exactly three Ability Seeds, which was exactly the same as the number of times the system had notified him.
Could he really continue absorbing?
Since these ability seeds were picked up for free, there was no need to waste them. Mu Chen decided to give it a try.
"Absorb!"
