Chapter 117: Vision in the Extraordinary Realm, New Ways to Obtain Divinity, They... Saw God (4K)
The sea bee queen died, and the swarm lost the command of the brain and began to run around on the seabed.
The irregular tumbling of more than 100,000 sea bees caused waves on the sea surface.
"Bang--Crack--"
Xue Jing looked up, and the shadow flame burned in his pupils. Even if he was underwater, his vision was still unobstructed.
He clearly saw that there were countless dents and several holes in the bottom plate of the "Infinite Nova". At this moment, the hull was shaking violently under the irregular impact of the sea bee swarm, and new holes appeared from time to time.
Seawater poured in from the holes, and the hull continued to sink at an extremely slow speed.
However, compared with the previous continuous impact, after the sea bee swarm hit the hull, without the command and restraint of the queen bee, most of them instinctively moved away from the hull.
"This level of damage should be salvageable."
Xue Jing confirmed the damage to the bottom of the boat and planned to float to the surface and board the boat.
There were hundreds of huge figures around him, swimming towards him at high speed.
"Hmm? These soldier bees..."
Xue Jing's eyes moved.
The sea bee king was dead, but the soldier bees did not become headless flies like ordinary sea bees, but took him as a target?
A revenge instinct?
Xue Jing clenched the Futu knife in his hand.
Compared to ordinary sea bees, the soldier bees look different.
Not only are they huge, they are also a circle larger than adult human men, and the two front feet of the six legs are also sharp blade-shaped, not the webbed shape of ordinary sea bees.
The exoskeleton hammer at the head is even bigger and more ferocious, and there are countless barbs on the stinger at the tail. If you get stung, it is obvious that even the skin and flesh will be torn off.
"Fu--"
On the bottom of the sea, only the sound of water fluctuations could be heard. A soldier bee charged towards Xue Jing, so fast that it didn't seem to be swimming, but flying.
The high-speed movement reduced the pressure around it, and countless white bubbles emerged, forming a fluctuating white line.
Xue Jing maintained the state of twin speed, kicked his feet, dodged the soldier bee's sting, and swung a knife to cut the weak connection between the soldier bee's head and chest.
"Gugu--"
I don't know whether it was due to underwater resistance or because the soldier bee's body was too hard, but this knife failed to kill the soldier bee. It just made it fly more than ten meters away like being hit by a stick.
Seeing this, Xue Jing had an idea.
"We can't fight underwater... Let's go up first."
In order to kill the sea bee queen, he had already dived about sixty meters underwater.
At this time, he wanted to surface, but the soldier bees didn't let him.
Countless huge figures rolled up white bubbles and charged at him continuously.
Xue Jing had no choice but to dodge and block. He didn't know whether the soldiers were attacking intentionally or unintentionally. Every time they attacked, Xue Jing had to dodge left and right, forward and backward, causing his body to get farther and farther away from the water surface.
"It's not good to go on like this..."
To use his strength, a martial artist needs to cooperate with breathing methods.
Although Xue Jing has swimming skills and is like a fish in water underwater, his body structure is still human. He doesn't have the gills of fish and can't absorb oxygen in the water. Therefore, he can hardly use his strength in the water and use killing moves.
The reason why he was able to use the 'Black Sky Sword·Wind Thunder' just now was because he inhaled a large amount of oxygen with a lung capacity that exceeded the human limit before entering the water.
With the swing of that sword, the oxygen storage capacity in the lungs was not much at this time, and at most it could only support the consumption of one more killing move.
Only one killing move was obviously not enough to kill hundreds of soldier bees, and he would fall into the dilemma of suffocation without oxygen afterwards.
"Gudong Gudong——"
Raising his knife to block the impact of a soldier bee's horn hammer, Xue Jing flew backwards, and a light bulb flashed in his mind.
"I can try..."
He identified the direction, adjusted his position, and confirmed that his head was facing the sea.
Then he bent his legs, and all the remaining oxygen in his lungs was used, entering the blood along the alveoli, rushing to the whole body, mobilizing all the strength.
The spiral indentation began to emerge from the root of the thigh, rotating and extending to the sole of the foot.
Just like twisting a towel, all the indentation lines converged to a point at the Yongquan point on the sole of the foot, like a drill.
Xue Jing stomped his legs hard.
"Bang!"
The water flow exploded, making a loud noise that could be heard even underwater.
Xue Jing's entire body seemed to have stepped on two extremely elastic springs, and he shot towards the water surface at a high speed like an arrow.
The violent force pushed away the water flow under his feet, forming two vacuum spirals, like the tail flame of a rocket.
The speed of this foot-stepping on the wind-whipped thunder was so fast that the soldier bees had no time to stop him. They could only watch him rush to the water surface and chase after him to eat his exhaust.
"Puff!"
Xue Jing jumped out of the sea and continued to rise several meters. When he landed, he stepped on an ordinary sea bee that was running around on the sea. He used the force to kick and jumped onto the deck of the cruise ship.
At this time, his burgundy suit was soaked and tattered, so he simply tore it off with a tearing sound.
The perfect upper body that seemed to be carefully carved by a god appeared in the air.
"Puff puff puff--"
There were countless sounds of water splashing on the sea, and huge soldier bees jumped out of the sea and continued to attack Xue Jing on the deck.
On their backs, transparent thin wings nearly four meters long were spread out, vibrating with a huge buzzing sound.
These sea soldier bees can actually fly.
Xue Jing took a deep breath of oxygen, and the violent air flow fluctuations even caused light distortion around him.
To fill the lack of oxygen in his own body, Xue Jing shook all over, and his strength surged, shaking the water droplets on his body into mist.
The Futu Knife in his hand pointed diagonally at the ground, and the shape of his silver-white pupils changed to the vertical pupils of dragon eyes.
"Eye Guanliu——"
Using the newly comprehended killing move, Xue Jing stared at the attacking soldier bees.
His eyesight surpassed that of humans, almost reaching the "supernormal realm", and he could see everything about the monster in front of him.
Every buzzing and flapping of the thin wings on its back, the movement restrictions of its forelimbs and the blade structure, and everything on its body, were seen clearly by Xue Jing as if they were put on the dissection table.
From Xue Jing's perspective, many "lines" and "dots" appeared on the body of the soldier bee.
These lines and dots were thick, thin, long, short, dark, and bright. As the body of the soldier bee moved, the lines and dots were constantly changing.
Xue Jing raised his knife and swung it at a line on the body of the first soldier bee that attacked.
The blade precisely cut into the body of the soldier bee along the line, so smoothly that it was just like cutting a cake, and the soldier bee was split in two along the line.
"Mukanliu... did you see the weak 'weak spot' on its body?"
Another soldier bee attacked, and Xue Jing stabbed out the long knife, accurately hitting a 'point' on its body.
"Squeak——"
The long knife directly penetrated its body, as if it had pierced something, and the soldier bee's body stiffened and stopped moving.
Throwing the corpse hanging on the knife to the side, Xue Jing began to chop and kill the huge soldier bee that attacked.
Each knife was not too strong, just a very regular force attached to the knife.
But as long as the center line was accurately cut and the point was pierced, a soldier bee would die.
Hundreds of fearless soldier bees died one by one, and soon, the bodies filled the deck.
At this time, because of the death of the queen bee, the sea bee swarm like headless flies had almost dispersed.
The swaying cruise ship gradually calmed down, but because the bottom of the ship was damaged and water entered, there would be a creaking sound from time to time.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak--"
After killing the last few soldier bees that attacked him, Xue Jing relaxed his mind and suddenly felt dizzy.
His eyes were burning and painful, and the silver-white vertical pupils faded and turned into normal dark brown pupils. A deep sense of fatigue swept over his body.
After a hesitation, Xue Jing stood on the ground with the Futu knife to maintain his standing balance.
In this battle, the physical consumption was secondary, and the main consumption was mental consumption.
Especially when scanning the sea surface for the sea bee queen on the observation deck, the brain was running at an overspeed to analyze the graphics. If it were a computer, the fan speed of the graphics card would blow the chassis away.
"It's over."
Xue Jing exhaled, supported the Futu knife with both hands, and stood there to rest, easing the dizziness.
"Next, it's harvest time."
He was willing to work so hard, largely for the harvest on the panel.
This time the harvest must be huge!
Xue Jing couldn't wait to open the panel to take a look.

[Charm upgraded to Lv9 (218/8000)]
The first thing that caught his eye was the harvest from the previous life-and-death battle with the man and woman of the Giant God Brigade, which was interspersed with countless reminders of charm experience points, making this skill directly Xue Jing's first Lv9 skill.
He sighed, shook his head, and looked down.

A lot, a lot of experience!
Experiencing the physical and mental enhancement brought by the improvement of skills, Xue Jing couldn't help but immerse himself in the feeling of becoming stronger again, and an unparalleled sense of satisfaction emerged.
Fighting is cool.
Reaching Lv5 Visualization·True made his spirit emerge with a burst of coolness, nourishing his tired and dry consciousness.
Before he could observe how much stronger he had become, Xue Jing suddenly noticed that at the end of the panel, there was a small, inconspicuous reminder.
[Kill a special creature with divinity, divinity +82]
Hmm?
His eyes widened slightly.
Divinity?
Divinity! ?
In addition to the divine relics and the Phoenix Silk, a new way to obtain divinity has appeared!
Kill a special creature with divinity... Which one? The Sea Bee Queen?
"There is only one reminder, it should be the Sea Bee Queen."
Xue Jing suppressed his excitement and fell into deep thought.
"Is the Sea Bee Queen special? Or is the 'Borderland Creature' itself special?"
"If it is the former, it is just better than nothing. If it is the latter..."
Xue Jing's eyes flickered.
"According to the panel prompts, ordinary sea bees and soldier bees are not considered 'divine creatures', only the sea bee queen is considered... According to this, it seems that only the sea bee queen is special."
"But it is also possible that all sea bees are born from the queen bee, so they do not contain divinity..."
"If all 'native' borderland creatures are considered divine creatures..."
Xue Jing became more and more excited as he thought about it.
Suddenly, he looked forward to the borderland mission that was to be carried out later.
"A sea bee queen can provide more than 80 points of divinity. If we can kill a hundred or even ten or eight of them in the borderland, it will be a great harvest!"
...
In the cabin area, thousands of passengers and crew hid in it, trembling, waiting for the judgment of fate.
This was not an ordinary accident such as encountering a storm at sea or hitting a reef or iceberg, but a terrifying attack by borderland creatures.
When encountering a swarm of sea bees, even escaping is impossible. Either you stay on the ship until the entire cruise ship is smashed and overturned by the swarm of sea bees, or you can wait for the rescue ship if you are very lucky.
"Mom, are we going to die?"
A little girl who was held in her arms looked up at her mother.
"No, God will bless us..."
The mother hugged her daughter in her arms tighter and comforted her absent-mindedly.
The little girl was a little confused.
She seemed to have heard her mother say before that God was dead.
Can God bless us even if he is dead?
After an unknown amount of time, the violent shaking of the cruise ship gradually stopped, and the desperate people gradually came to their senses one by one.
"The end... is over?"
"Are we dead?"
"The swarm of sea bees is gone?"
"This cruise ship is so big, can the swarm of sea bees do nothing to us..."
"It's so quiet outside...."
The noise gradually sounded, and the voices of passengers and crew gradually turned from small to large.
Some people even cheered uncontrollably.
"Let's go outside and take a look!"
Someone suggested.
Some brave ones responded.
Soon, a team of about dozens of people walked out of the cabin room with trepidation, came to the corridor, and looked outside the deck cautiously.
As the first group of people walked outside, many people could not sit still one after another.
In order to get an answer that would make them feel at ease, a larger and larger group of people walked outside the cabin room.
At this time, the outside of the cruise ship was full of scattered broken sea bee corpses, and amber blood stained the hull everywhere.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in shock, not knowing what had happened.
Until they came to the big deck and saw countless huge soldier bee corpses scattered around...
And the figure in the center holding a knife with both hands, naked upper body, as tough as a pine tree.
At that moment, everyone understood that it was this person who saved them.
"Mom, is he the god who blesses us?"
The innocent voice of the little girl sounded.
God...
Looking at the back that seemed to be shining in the dim light, everyone's eyes were dazed for a moment.
They seemed to...see God.
…
