Su Mingan couldn't explain what he saw.
The bright green light covered everything, the tsunami surged, and the huge dark wave rushed straight into the sky, like a meteor breaking through the dawn, the dark clouds falling, and the earth was turned upside down.
The light and darkness in front of his eyes kept flashing. There were strange fish sounds, strange birds circling in the sky, and some mysterious creatures resurrecting at this moment. In his ears, there were waves of piercing whale-like buzzing. A certain pitch point passed over his eardrums and penetrated into his brain.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
This seemed to be an influence on the mental level. One moment, he could still remember the scenes in front of him. The next moment, those scenes were like waves washing up on the beach, and the memory was swallowed up bit by bit.
When he came to his senses and wanted to retreat, he felt his cheeks heat up and it seemed like it was raining heavily.
The next moment, his entire palm was instantly stained blood red. When he looked up at the sky, he realized that it was not rain at all, but a rain of blood.
——A bright green tentacle stretched out from the bottom of the sea at some point, carrying a dark wave, destroying all the houses on the seaside, and beating everyone inside into fine pieces of meat.
Blood mixed with rain poured down from his head, covering his head and body.
Su Ming'an's childish eyes shrank, thick rain of blood sprinkled on his face, and the air was filled with other people's broken bodies, broken flesh, broken bones and pieces of cloth.
"Ah ah ah ah ah--!
"The surviving people screamed, staring in fear at more and more bright green tentacles on the sea, and fell to the ground after running a few steps.
Those tentacles were not the octopus tentacles Su Mingan expected, but looked like plant buds, full of life. If you don't describe it as "tentacles", it's more like "beautiful plant twigs". Although there are only a few tentacles on the surface of the sea, it is enough to imagine what kind of giant creatures are hidden under the sea.
Why did this thing suddenly appear?
Su Mingan stared at these tentacles.
...Is this really just an ancient game of royal power seizing?
…
[san value: 45 points]
…
Su Mingan stretched out his hand, and a space vibration filled with 3,000 points of mana was thrown out by him, hitting the thickest jade green tentacle.
"boom--!"
The air seemed to be torn apart by this, and the violent aftermath turned the entire lighthouse into powder, as if the sea and sky were trembling.
The space vibration hit the tentacles, and the tentacles broke inch by inch, sinking into the water like twisted vines.
"Ahhh, ahhhh--" The villagers' screams filled his ears. They were scurrying about like scurrying flies.
Some villagers realized that Su Ming'an was very powerful and wanted to survive under Su Ming'an's protection. But they didn't take a few steps when they suddenly screamed and started tearing their faces off, shouting some weird terms like "fusion, assimilation, resuscitation", and plunged into the sea.
The sea surface began to surge again, and more tentacles grew crazily.
Su Ming'an was temporarily confused about the conditions and principles for the appearance of this tentacle, and just wanted to take Chaoyan away from here - the house where Chaoyan was located had collapsed, and all the villagers who were traveling with her were turned into flesh and blood. He didn't know if she was still alive or if she had become part of the rain of blood.
"Uh-huh!"
He used spatial displacement and appeared above Chaoyan's house.
However, when he landed, a tentacle seemed to be ready and appeared exactly where he landed.
Su Mingan's face changed slightly. Just when he was about to perform the next spatial displacement, he felt a sudden sting in his head, as if he was attacked by something invisible. His mind was in a trance, and the forward gesture of spatial displacement instantly stopped.
——He is currently in shadow state with a mental value of 282 points. With extreme mental points, he is invincible below the sixth level, but something can actually overwhelm his mental points and control him.
Su Mingan knew at this moment that he might have used his strengths again and hit the boss at the beginning.
He originally thought that the power system of this world was a bit low, and the much-vaunted Yi Zhongyu was only at the peak level of the fourth level - but it turned out that the difficulty in this world was not humans at all, but "alien species".
This giant tentacled monster hidden under the sea is the legendary terrifying and murderous "alien". Unlike White Lotus, which transformed into a human form, it retains all its strength and size, and can instantly turn people into a rain of blood.
】
——It turns out that in this world, the focus is not at all on the survival war between "people". It is a war of survival between "man and the world". Faced with these terrifying, ferocious "alien species" and "abnormalities" whose strength far exceeds that of humans and who have mastered the rules of instant death, face the black mist that may cover the last living space at any time, face the "gods" who often arrange the fate and death of human beings ——How can fragile and small human beings make a living in such a situation?
Su Ming'an felt nervous, not knowing what he would face in the end.
The sea breeze blew across his face, and there were tentacles under his feet that were ready to go. His brain felt a stinging pain. Before he could escape, the tentacles had already grabbed his ankle, and there was a cold touch.
"Whoa!" Su Ming'an immediately drew out Arman's sword and slashed it down, but heard the sound of a wave coming from Chi Chi.
"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-!"
At this moment, the terrifying creature in the sea began to show its edges and corners, and quickly surfaced - it was a giant tree creature with a rather magnificent shape, like a sacred tree on the sea. Its bright green tentacles reached towards Su Ming'an like branches. Before Su Ming'an could make a strike, the tentacles touched his cheek, very close to his neck.
Su Mingan didn't have time to escape. He thought his neck would be broken or his head would be punched through. His palms were slightly loose, and he was even ready to die.
However, something unexpected happened to him.
——The tentacle did not attack him.
It just touched his cheek and helped him wipe away the blood on his face. The action could be called "gentle".
"...Huh?" Su Mingan was slightly startled.
The tentacles buzzed, there was a wave of mental fluctuations, and the words went straight into Su Mingan's mind. Although there was no specific sound, Su Mingan understood the meaning of the tentacle creature:
[The farewell gift she asked me to bring you. 】
The tentacles wrapped around Su Mingan's neck and put a necklace on him. This necklace is surrounded by a hemp rope and hangs an eye made of wood. The eye seems to be alive and will tremble continuously.
Su Mingan's scalp felt numb.
……she? Could it be a god?
Is this necklace the "goodbye gift"? But he has clearly never met the gods - has Su Wensheng seen the gods before?
His neck was tightly wrapped by the tentacles and could be broken at any time. Su Mingan remained motionless and did not use any skills rashly.
People have been suppressed by fear and are sitting on the ground. Their minds are filled with crazy emotions. No one can understand the scene in front of them - why can this outsider live in harmony with the tentacle monster?
Dark clouds surged in the sky, the black waves continued, and the tentacles sent another mental wave to Su Ming'an:
【Come with me, okay? 】
This spiritual transmission was even worse than before, like a long cold needle going straight into the brain. Su Mingan was temporarily absent-minded, and his brain went blank. Even the barrage had a brief blank period, and people outside the screen would be affected.
Soon, Su Mingan regained his sanity.
"Come with you and sink into the sea? I refuse." Su Mingan decisively refused. In any case, going with this tentacled creature is definitely a bad move. Even if you decrypt it, you can't do this because your mental state cannot be restored. You can tell by looking at Old Man Wang who went crazy before.
The tentacled creature trembled, and the mental pressure coming from this time was even stronger:
[This world is very dangerous, don’t you understand? 】
[Ubiquitous alien species, terrifying rules of instant death, and gods who arrange human destiny. 】
[And the more terrifying things, you haven't touched at all. You have just arrived here and you still cannot understand what your enemy is. If you continue like this, you will not get good results. 】
[I know your wishes and your purpose - as long as you follow me, I will show you everything. As long as you nod, you will be happy, I guarantee it. 】
The mental oppression of this passage was so strong, it was like a mountain pressing down on him, squeezing into his brain. Su Mingan only hesitated for a moment before the tentacles quickly climbed up to him and dragged him upwards from his ankles.
——Don’t hesitate, this is temptation.
"I refuse." Su Mingan gritted his teeth and insisted on refusing.
The tentacled creature flicked its bright green strips. Still following the temptation:
【Whatever you want can come true. 】
An extremely strong mental attack, as if an invisible hook reached into his mind, trying to drag away his resistance.
【Everything you expect can be given to you. 】
The weird light spreads, and the mental impact becomes more serious.
【——As long as you nod, you can have everything. Including game playthrough. 】
At this moment, Su Mingan almost couldn't control his nodding movements. But the most fortunate thing is that his number of deaths is far greater than that of ordinary people, and his perseverance of will is far greater than that of ordinary people. Even with this unreasonable spiritual temptation, he still maintained his most basic sanity.
He maintains a painful composure in this mental tug of war.
The tentacle creature could obviously kill him directly or drag him away, but it kept begging for his consent, as if it was restricted by some kind of [rules]. Once he nods, something uncontrollable may happen.
Su Mingan gritted his teeth to prevent himself from losing his mind.
[Why do you, a small human being like you, insist on resisting fate? 】It wondered.
——No nodding is allowed.
[I will bring you the happiest life, and all the relatives you want will come back. ] it tempted.
——No nodding is allowed.
[You are concerned about those people named "Lu Shu", "Noel", "Su Lin" and "Yamada Machichi", right? I will find them for you, protect them, let them spend these twenty days safely, and let them be happy. ] Its voice rang in his ears.
--Don't be tempted.
Um?
The tentacle creature and the god behind it - know that he is the player Su Mingan, not Su Wensheng?
At this moment, Su Mingan's firm refusal surpassed the temptation of the tentacled creature. At this moment, he suddenly heard a "crackling" sound, and the tentacles on his body that had spread to his chest were disconnected.
Su Mingan immediately tore apart these sticky things, broke free, and instantly moved away from the tentacled creature on the sea. The tip of his sword pointed directly at its huge figure that covered the clouds and the moon.
Its tentacles no longer reached towards him gently, nor did it utter seductive words. The huge figure sank quietly on the sea, surrounded by surging dark waves.
Facing the extremely vigilant Su Ming'an, its mental fluctuations only sent short words:
【……】
【...Forcing to stay in vain. 】
The next moment, those bright green tentacles were instantly retracted and sank into the water one by one. Immediately, the entire huge tentacled creature slowly sank into the water. In less than ten seconds, the originally rough sea surface returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
However, Su Mingan knew that everything just now was true.
The wailing of people still rang in his ears, and those who died could never come back. The fragments of lighthouses and house ruins at your feet, as well as the human bodies and skeletons with only small sections left, are all there. The tentacled creature that suddenly caused the tsunami was undoubtedly a terrifying and murderous "alien".
But it just let him go, and even gently helped him wipe away the blood on his face.
Su Mingan touched his face. It was clean and all the blood had been wiped away. He lowered his head and looked at the necklace around his neck. The vivid eyes on the necklace trembled slightly, staring at him unblinkingly, sending chills down one's spine.
The system prompt pops up:

Passive skill (unified): Wearing this item, alien species will not hurt you, and abnormalities will not affect you.
Equipment requirements: Su Wensheng’s possessed person.
Note: The gift "she" gives you, drip blood into the necklace and it will take effect. 】
…
Su Mingan only felt his scalp numb - no matter how well described or high quality the thing was, he didn't feel it was harmless to wear it.
Just looking at the attribute point bonus of this thing, it can add 120 attribute points. Any new player who wears it can instantly become a powerful veteran player. There will be no shortcomings in the four-dimensional attributes, let alone such mysterious skills as "predicting fate".
But looking at the fact that this skill has "no cooling time and does not consume any mana", you can tell that this necklace is definitely not a good thing. Su Ming'an believes that you get what you pay for, and it is impossible to have such a powerful skill without deducting anything. If mana is not consumed, then what is consumed?
soul? Spirit? sovereignty? human nature? reason?
Su Mingan immediately reached out and wanted to pull off the necklace.
Just when he was about to pull off the necklace, the system prompt popped up:
…
[Are you sure you don’t want to wear the “Eye of the Old Day”? 】
【Wearing the "Eye of the Past" can bring you many benefits. All your progress will be significantly reduced in difficulty, and your destiny will be visible to your eyes. 】
[Wearing/not wearing. 】
