"It's true... all the undead around here have disappeared."
Lupine cruises in the sea at a speed of about 100 kilometers per hour, which is just right for the intelligent dolphin form. The rate at which the five gill slits exchange oxygen is basically the same as the rate at which the body consumes oxygen.
This also causes the oxygen stored in Lupine's body to always be maintained at a high optimal state!
You know, for Lupine's terrifying muscles at this time, these small fish gills are still not enough. Intense fighting, or swimming at full speeds in excess of 150 kilometers per hour, will begin to deplete the body's stored oxygen.
Fortunately, creatures like dolphins have evolved strong oxygen storage capabilities over the years they have been in the ocean. Dolphins have more red blood cells and a higher hemoglobin concentration than land mammals, so they can store a considerable amount of oxygen. Lu Ping has tested that the intelligent dolphin can fight at full strength for at least ten minutes without worrying about lack of oxygen.
"Look farther away." Lupine flicked his tail and continued swimming away from the Crystal Palace.
At a certain moment, his heart suddenly moved and he looked in a certain direction.
The light at the bottom of the sea was dim, so he could only see darkness, but his keen hearing allowed him to "hear" what seemed to be vague voices over there?
Lu Ping regained his energy, and his body sank, close to the bottom of the sea, and began to swim slowly in that direction... He did not activate active ultrasonic echo detection, but just listened passively and got closer a little bit.
As I got closer, I could finally see clearly that they were actually more than a dozen undead people of different shapes!
Although they were together, they were all a little restless and even fighting among themselves.
Lu Ping saw with his own eyes an undead man with a ferocious fish head bit into another undead man with crab claws, tore off a bloody piece of meat from the other man's waist, and wolfed it down! The Immortal with Crab Claws immediately became furious. He cut off one of the opponent's human arms with his pliers and put it into his mouth to chew and suck as if eating sugar cane.
Both of them are undead, so while eating, new flesh and blood tissue grows back on their bodies!
The blood seemed to stimulate the other undead, and each of them started to attack their companions. Without saying hello, they pulled fresh flesh and blood from their companions and put them into their mouths to chew... But even though they ate, they didn't look satisfied at all. None, but his eyes looked even more empty.
"Enough!" Suddenly one of the tallest undead men roared, "Have everyone forgotten the 'King's' request? We must unite and cooperate! Hunt those real humans together! You guys There is no point in using these worthless guys to chew each other's soulless flesh and blood!"
The other undead stopped chewing and looked at him blankly.
After a while, he seemed to realize the meaning of the other person's words. Then he looked at the flesh and blood in his hand. He suddenly felt that it was like chewing wax and threw it away.
"Humans...new flesh and blood...containing souls..." Their eyes shone brightly and they spoke slowly, as if they had just regained the human language they had almost forgotten.
"That's right." The tall undead nodded, "The sea is now too empty. Fresh life containing souls is rare to see. Even marine life is rare to see. But recently, we have seen many human beings. This time There must be something fishy... Everyone, as long as you listen to the 'King', we will definitely find the hiding place of those humans, and everyone will have a good meal!"
"A good meal... a good meal..." The eyes of the undead soon lit up.
"A good meal! A good meal!" The undead creature with crab claws was the most excited. He pinched off his own thigh and excitedly put his feet into his mouth and chewed them.
"...Idiot." The tallest undead rolled his eyes.
At this time, in a shadow on the seabed.
"King? There is actually a king among the undead in this sea area?" Lu Ping was surprised. "This is huge news. I wonder if the Crystal Palace knows about it?"
"Although I know this information, my words are unfounded. The best way is to capture the undead and let them interrogate them personally... But here comes the problem. In the past, the undead were captured directly and thrown into the furnace. This time But it's going to be used for interrogation, so naturally I can't show two different forms in front of the other party." Lu Ping secretly calculated.
When he captures the undead and brings them back to the Crystal Palace, he must show them in the fish-man form. That means that if he doesn't want to expose the secret of his ability to transform into different forms, he must also use the fish-man form when catching the undead!
"The undead with the tallest head has three tentacles, so he is probably a level 3... The other dozen should be level 1 or level 2." Lu Ping thought to himself, "And my fish-man form has a combat power of At the top level of the second rank, it is almost impossible to capture one alive among these undead and escape unscathed!"
This is a bit embarrassing. Lu Ping obviously has the ability to kill these undead, but he can't think of a way.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Flesh and blood containing the soul?" Lu Ping blinked. He remembered that the reason why the undead can be reborn is because their souls have been separated from the body through the gift ceremony and become a separate existence, so their flesh and blood is There is no soul, perhaps because of this, it is useless to chew on each other.
And the flesh and blood of humans or other earth creatures are the favorite delicacies of these undead. Does this mean that most earth creatures may contain souls?
Lu Ping quickly thought of a way, crawled on the bottom of the sea and left quietly.
A moment later, one of the undead people gathered together suddenly straightened his gaze and looked into the distance.
"Ah, um, there... fish! Big fish!" the undead stammered.
"What?" The other undead turned to look!
But the shadow has long since disappeared from sight.
"Big fish, very big!" The only undead person who witnessed Lu Ping was so excited that he was gesticulating and salivating.
Listening to his stumbling description, the other undead finally understood that he had just seen a huge fish! A large living fish that is several meters long and contains a soul in its flesh and blood!
"What are you still doing? Chase!" Now even the third-level undead was undecided. Although his thinking was clearer and more organized, his desire for delicious flesh and blood was equally strong.
A group of undead immediately chased in the direction where the "big fish" disappeared.
This chase gradually widened the gap due to the difference in speed... You must know that it was a big fish several meters long, probably a shark or the like. This is a delicacy that you may not necessarily see after drifting in the sea for several years. ! Under this fatal attraction, they have long forgotten the collective action urged by the "King".
A group of undead rushed to chase the big fish in the direction where it disappeared, gradually forming a long queue.
But they didn't know...a huge shadow, at some point, had circled around and quietly appeared behind them.
Lupine chased after him slowly. He planned to swallow every one he caught up with. With his strength in the form of a wise dolphin, he could do this silently... As long as he swallowed the undead who saw him at that time, he could safely transform. He took the form of a fishman, grabbed a level 1 or level 2 undead and went back.
He's very good at calculating.
But the next moment, his heart suddenly twitched.
Because of the wise dolphin's keen hearing, it was obvious that he heard a frightened scream coming from the front - not the sound of any undead, but very similar to the ultrasonic waves it emits when performing active echolocation.
It's the scream of a dolphin!
There was obviously no language, but Lu Ping suddenly understood the meaning of the cry - the other party was afraid.
