Ranch Story: Start Over

Tietou shook his body helplessly. It was too troublesome to have these teeth stuck to his body. His master asked him to kill those strange fish, but the strange fish insisted on leaving some trophies for him before dying. Now, he couldn't shake them off at all.

Listening to the sound of teeth chattering on his body, Tietou sighed in his heart.

Feng Ling looked at Xiao Kun. The little guy looked like Tietou’s child, floating in the air. With the sharing of talents, Xiao Kun now finally didn’t have to jump on the ground anymore.

"Xiao Kun, can you deal with these teeth on Tietou's body?"

"Yes, Master, my slime can neutralize them."

Xiao Kun flew in front of Tietou, and instantly the little shark's mouth turned into a huge mouth and swallowed Tietou into its stomach. Then a minute later, Tietou was spit out by Xiao Kun again. Then, with a loud rustling sound, countless fangs similar to the shape of animal traps were also spit out by Xiao Kun.

"These taste OK, Tietou brother, you can continue."

Tietou shook his body. The space he entered after being swallowed by Xiao Kun was really terrifying. If he didn't know that it was one of his own, he would have felt that he was about to be eaten and absorbed.

Feng Ling squatted down, picked up the tooth and fiddled with it, then activated the detection technique.

Deep Sea Monster Fish Teeth: Gather 5000 teeth to form a special summoning ritual to summon the king of deep sea monster fish. You can defeat the opponent and capture it as a pet. If you kill it, you can get water-repellent beads. Water-repellent beads automatically avoid water without consuming magic power. It is a top rare prop for deep sea travel.

The water-repellent beads are worth 1000 million system merit points. Please note that deep-sea monster fish only exist on ghost ships, with an estimated number of 80 to 200 each time. The probability of a qualified adult deep-sea monster fish is about 50%.

The system's evaluation astounded Feng Ling. He didn't expect that this strange deep-sea fish that looked like a small fish could have such a heaven-defying treasure. It would definitely not be his pet as it was too ugly. Feng Ling was afraid that the strange fish would scare people.

"System, if this treasure is taken back by you, how much will you pay?"

"Master, the recycling price is 50%. The water-repellent beads will give you the land effect of detecting water areas."

Feng Ling just asked this and then kept silent. Regardless of how unlikely it was to encounter a ghost ship, the incredible effect of the water-repellent beads alone would give Feng Ling more possibilities in the ocean.

Another hour later, Hua Xiaoling and Tietou finally came back, panting with exhaustion. At this time, Feng Ling was still cleaning up the remains. Now the deck on the negative first floor was full of human remains. Judging from the skulls, there were at least more than a hundred bodies here.

Fortunately, however, the first deck and the basement level within sight have been thoroughly cleared.

Hua Xiaoling ran to Feng Ling and said with a gasp, "Brother, we are done, but we can't go down to the negative second floor. There is a big lock locking the entrance. I tried to destroy it with magic, but failed. Even weapons can't open it."

Feng Ling followed Hua Xiaoling to the entrance of the second floor below ground, and saw a shabby door with a hideous skull painted on it. He could also vaguely hear a low roar coming from behind the door, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Feng Ling stood in front of the door and pondered for a moment, his heart full of doubts. He didn't know what secrets were hidden behind this door, nor did he know why there was such an insurmountable obstacle.

He turned his head and his eyes fell on Xiao Kun.

At this moment, Xiao Kun has become a small and cute miniature version of Hua Xiaoling, and her appearance has changed greatly compared to before. This guy changes his appearance every time he evolves, which makes people confused and it is impossible to determine what species she is.

Feng Ling couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiao Kun, why have you changed again? This time you turned into Hua Xiaoling."

"It looks great, Master."

Well, Feng Ling really couldn’t refute this answer.

"Xiao Kun, do you still remember what's behind this door?"

Feng Ling asked.

"Master, there are some mutated skeleton soldiers inside. Their strength is one level higher than ours, so if you are not fully prepared, do not open this door easily."

Xiao Kun replied.

Now, Xiao Kun also calls Feng Ling his master like Tietou. Although it is just an equal contract, Xiao Kun knows the principle of being soft-hearted and being short-handed, and Feng Ling made him evolve many times, which makes him very satisfied. Although this human is not strong enough at present, he understands the principle of not judging people by appearance.

"Are you sure there are only level 3 warriors or magicians inside?" Feng Ling confirmed again.

"It is very certain that they were the guards of this ghost ship when they were alive. The disaster killed all the passengers, and these guards failed after resisting for a short time."

"We deep-sea elves are the protective elves of the sea. Every time humans sail on a long voyage, they will bring many deep-sea elves with them. This will reduce the probability of the emergence of this kind of plague and poison fog. But if they die, we deep-sea elves will be bound to the ghost ship forever and will never be able to return to the deep sea again."

Xiao Kun's somewhat sad words made Hua Xiaoling find it hard to imagine such a day.

"So how many years have you been on this ship?"

"It's been 208 years. The lifespan of deep-sea elves is very long. In a healthy state, they can live for 500 years. However, deep-sea elves with pathological conditions may live a life worse than death. The deep-sea elves killed by the master were all deep-sea elves corroded by the poisonous fog."

After living a life worse than death for hundreds of years, any normal person would fall into a state of mental disorder, and it is difficult for Xiao Kun and his friends. But what is a bit strange is why Xiao Kun has an independent consciousness and has not been corrupted?

"Xiao Kun, why are you okay?"

"Because I was born not long ago, Master, if you hadn't taken the initiative to fuse me, I would have long since become nutrients for other deep-sea elves."

Xiao Kun's explanation makes sense. The reproduction method of these deep-sea elves is directly split. Those who can survive can grow up, and those who cannot survive will become food for others.

However, the most urgent task is to deal with the skeleton warriors and skeleton archers behind the door. For undead creatures like skeletons, the most suitable magic is holy light magic, but Feng Ling is not a priest, so there is nothing he can do about it.

However, Feng Ling quickly thought of a key point. Although he was not a priest, according to other people's evaluation, his combat power had reached the third level of perfection, so he had no problem dealing with these skeletons.

"Xiao Kun, you guys help me out for a while, I'll take care of them all myself!"

"But Master, aren't you a Level 2 Magic Swordsman?"

"This is called fighting monsters above your level!"
