Chapter 100: Midnight Beast Tide

Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Midnight Beast Tide

At this time, Lin Ji had no idea that he had already been targeted by the Apocalypse Guild.

If he knew, he would probably become tense immediately.

Inside the captain’s cabin, Lin Ji had just finished a meeting and was preparing to arrange the night watch rotation.

Suddenly, a faint sense of crisis washed over him, and his Eye of Insight reacted instantly.

A second later, everyone felt the ship take a slight hit.

Fortunately, the LV4 Assault Ship was heavy enough that the impact didn’t cause much of a jolt.

"The beast tide is here."

Lin Ji reacted immediately.

The system rules stated that a sea beast tide would break out after midnight.

He sighed and looked at the girls beside him.

"Get ready for battle. We’ll use them for practice."

Lin Ji pointed at Shen Manyun, Lin Yurou, and Bai Taotao, who had remained behind.

"The three of you stay on the third floor and handle logistics."

Shen Manyun bit her lip and stepped forward.

"Captain, I want to follow you so I can heal you all at any time."

Lin Ji shook his head.

"Your Purification skill has leveled up, and its range is large enough. As long as you are on this war ship, you can activate your skill to support us at any time. There’s no need to take risks on the deck."

After hearing this, Shen Manyun finally nodded and chose to obey the arrangement.

Lin Ji turned and patted Lin Yurou’s thin shoulder, instructing her.

"Your skill is very important. If I can’t react in time later, remember to use your skill to force those troublesome opponents into Slumber."

Lin Yurou bit her lip and nodded vigorously.

She looked up, her big watery eyes full of admiration for Lin Ji.

"Don’t worry, Captain. Yurou will definitely get the timing right!"

After making the arrangements, Lin Ji waved his hand.

He led Gu Yihan, Su Qingyue, Qin Yao, and Tang Ling out of the captain’s cabin and down to the wide deck below.

By now, the black tide was officially battering the ship.

By the light of the searchlights, the group saw massive, thick black waves churning on the sea.

Immediately after, dense swarms of [LV2 Venom Swamp Sea Spiders] and [LV2 Shell-Cracker Jumping Spiders] were frantically crawling up the gaps in the black armor and the sides of the ship.

The sheer numbers were enough to make one’s skin crawl. Even among these low-level spiders, there were several larger, more hideous [LV3 Elite Sea Spiders].

Looking out, the entire LV4 War Ship seemed like it was about to be completely submerged by this black insect tide.

Seeing this, the women panicked. Women were naturally biologically predisposed to fear these hairy, multi-legged black insects.

Even Qin Yao, who usually killed without blinking, couldn’t help but get goosebumps seeing so many black things crawling onto the ship.

She rubbed her arms and puffed out her chest, her voice trembling slightly.

"This is too disgusting."

"Captain, should I just fire a massive Fireball and roast all these little things for your side dish?"

Lin Ji shook his head.

"That would consume too much of your Spiritual Power. There’s no need."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ji activated the title he had earned from his first kill—[Deep Sea Hunter].

This title had a powerful suppressive effect on mutated sea creatures below LV2.

The moment it was released, an invisible pressure radiated out from Lin Ji as the center.

The LV2 sea spiders that were originally crawling up frantically instantly became sluggish.

Most of the sea spiders, sensing a dangerous aura, crouched on the deck trembling in fear. Some even slipped and fell back into the churning sea.

Only a few jumping spiders with stronger will continued to charge toward the group instinctively.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before they could get close, several arrows glowing with green light streaked through the air.

Gu Yihan stood behind Lin Ji, drawing her Storm Hunter Bow to its limit, pinning those lead jumping spiders to the deck with precision.

Lin Ji gave her an appreciative look and reached out to pat Gu Yihan’s firm buttocks.

"Miss Gu’s archery is getting better and better. You’re killing LV2 sea monsters with ease now."

Gu Yihan’s cheeks flushed slightly as she lowered her hunting bow, her voice sincere.

"It’s all thanks to the Captain’s guidance."

Su Qingyue, seeing their interaction from the side, felt a pang of jealousy.

She huffed and slammed both hands onto the deck.

A bone-chilling Frost Energy erupted instantly, a thick layer of ice crystals spreading outward across the deck.

The sea spiders that had just crawled up the railing and were sluggish from the suppression were instantly frozen in place or slipped on the icy surface.

Gu Yihan seized the opportunity, her bowstring twanging repeatedly as she shot the frozen monsters one by one with perfect coordination.

Standing nearby, Qin Yao’s eyes widened in surprise when she saw Lin Ji control most of the beast tide with just his presence.

She gave Lin Ji a thumbs-up.

"I didn’t realize you had this trick up your sleeve. How did you do it?"

Lin Ji gave a casual response.

Qin Yao froze for a moment, then it suddenly clicked.

She gasped.

"Holy crap! So the person who triggered the sea-wide announcement back then was you!"

"The ruthless guy who killed an LV3 sea monster just after the Novice Protection Period ended!"

Lin Ji ignored Qin Yao’s shocked expression, focusing solemnly on the pitch-black sea in the distance.

As they spoke, the black mist churned violently again.

The larger LV3 Elite Sea Spiders, unaffected by the low-level suppression, began treading over the corpses of their kin to approach the deck.

In the searchlight’s glow, Lin Ji saw three giant shadows climbing over the railing.

"Three LV3 elite monsters?"

Lin Ji’s muscles tensed. He clenched his fists and muttered, "In the past, this would have taken some effort, but now..."

With a thought, the dark red Wingless Mantis Exoskeleton covered his body instantly.

The bone blades on his forearms snapped out, emitting a piercing high-frequency vibration.

Lin Ji lunged forward.

With his various attribute bonuses, his figure became a blur.

In just a second, he reached the first mutated sea spider.

He swung his blade; the high-frequency vibrating bone blade sliced through the hideous head as smoothly as silk.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ji for killing an LV3 Elite Mutated Sea Spider. You have gained 10 Tide Hunting Points. Current points: 10.]

"That’s it?"

Lin Ji poked the remains with the tip of his blade. Seeing the shimmering Crystal Core at the cut, he raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"An LV3 elite monster didn’t even have a chance to resist."

He clenched his armored fist, feeling the surging power within.

A Second-tier Constitution plus the permanent attribute boosts from the LV4 vessel meant pure numerical suppression!

Killing LV3 sea monsters was now effortless for him.

This overwhelming slaughter felt extremely satisfying to Lin Ji.

"Yihan, come and collect this Crystal Core!"

Lin Ji shouted toward the back as he lunged toward the second monster.
