Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1178 - 519: Swordtail Sea Serpent

Lin Jingtang froze momentarily, his first glance shifting to his sister, Lin Miaomiao.

Lin Miaomiao murmured softly, "He wants to know about the giant mutant snake."

After a brief pause, Lin Jingtang questioned, "If we tell you, will you let us go?"

Liang Yuan grinned faintly, "I never intended to capture you."

In a grave tone, Lin Jingtang demanded, "How can I trust you?"

Shaking his head, Liang Yuan replied, "You should know, if I really wanted to use force, your sister would be your greatest weakness, and I could easily manipulate you."

Suddenly, Lin Jingtang found himself speechless.

He pondered briefly before nodding, "That’s straightforward, so I’ll be frank."

"Underwater, I discovered the tail of the mutant giant snake, but it proved too massive for me to budge. Mutants are now swarming around that tail, greedily feasting upon it."

"This tail belongs to a mighty Genetic Mutation Beast, brimming with rich blood energy. Consuming and absorbing it would swiftly elevate one’s power dramatically."

"Rush there now, and you’ll still arrive in time."

Lin Jingtang pressed Liang Yuan eagerly, desperate for him to dash off toward the beast’s tail and spare the siblings further trouble.

Liang Yuan remained unhurried, inquiring, "Beyond that tail, did you spot anything else?"

"What do you mean?"

"What about the person who escaped from the spatial rift and that snake?"

Lin Jingtang shook his head firmly, "I haven’t formed a Genetic Species, so how could I risk approaching such a monster? I didn’t even dare near its severed tail."

"There are too many mutants around."

"As for the person you mentioned, I haven’t seen them."

Liang Yuan detected normal emotional shifts from him, certain he spoke truth.

He rose promptly and commanded, "Lead me to that severed tail."

Lin Jingtang wavered before responding, "I can guide you, but release my sister first."

Liang Yuan eyed Lin Miaomiao, nodded subtly, and agreed outright, "Okay."

Lin Jingtang at last exhaled deeply in relief.

Yet Lin Miaomiao cried out instantly, "No, I want to go with my brother!"

"Miaomiao!" Lin Jingtang’s tone turned stern as he shook his head at her, "You go first, I’ll come back to find you."

"I promised Dad I would take good care of you."

With eyes rimmed red, Lin Miaomiao pleaded, "No, you’re the only family I have left in this world. If anything happens to you, what’s the point of me living?"

Liang Yuan watched the siblings’ tearful, overly dramatic farewell and felt somewhat helpless.

Unable to restrain himself, he interjected, "Hey, I said it’s enough, your brother is just showing the way, do you really need to make it this serious?"

"I said I wouldn’t hurt him, and I won’t."

Lin Jingtang turned to scrutinize Liang Yuan intently, then declared solemnly, "I believe you, you’re different from those water vagabonds."

"Miaomiao, then you come with us."

Liang Yuan questioned, "What kind of superpower does she have? Can she adapt underwater?"

Lin Jingtang grinned proudly, boasting, "My sister is an Elemental Ability User, Water Element, what do you think?"

Liang Yuan couldn’t resist glancing at Lin Miaomiao. Unexpectedly, this young girl possessed Water Attribute Superpower.

"Then let’s go."

With Lin Jingtang at the forefront, the trio plunged swiftly into the raging floodwaters.

Upon diving below the surface, Lin Jingtang shifted into Merfolk form and glanced back toward Liang Yuan.

The sight left him abruptly stunned.

Liang Yuan had transformed into a mermaid shape as well.

In that instant, Lin Jingtang inexplicably sensed a strange kinship with Liang Yuan.

They shared the same breed of Superpower Users.

Lin Miaomiao shot Liang Yuan a surprised look too. She distinctly recalled him as a Spiritual Power master.

How could he morph into a Merfolk-like being?

Liang Yuan observed Lin Miaomiao, noting she lacked the power to breathe underwater.

Yet, as a Water Attribute Superpower User, she commanded water currents that parted naturally around her.

At first sight, a watery shield seemed to envelop her, with currents diverting smoothly aside.

Liang Yuan gestured invitingly to Lin Jingtang.

Lin Jingtang nodded and sped off in a chosen direction.

Liang Yuan and Lin Miaomiao kept pace right behind, covering several kilometers at high speed without falling behind.

The leading Lin Jingtang halted and pointed toward the vicinity.

Liang Yuan peered ahead, beholding a vast cluster of mutant fish amassed underwater, ranging in all sizes.

From a quick glance, hundreds of mutant fish appeared to have clustered in that spot.

Murky waters filled the area, stained with dark red blood drifting about.

Lin Miaomiao and Lin Jingtang wore grave expressions, frozen in place.

They were evidently terrified by the sheer horde of mutant fish ahead.

Lin Jingtang glanced back at Liang Yuan, mischief gleaming in his gaze.

He mused inwardly, you wanted me to lead you here, and now you're here.

If you've got the skills, dive right in.

Is the blood and flesh from a Genetic Mutation Beast that simple to claim?

Yet, no trace of tension showed on Liang Yuan's face; instead, a spark of excitement lit it up.

Lin Jingtang felt baffled—why the joy?

Still, Liang Yuan shot forward toward the mutant fish swarm without hesitation.

Shock hit Lin Jingtang hard; he nearly shouted a warning to stay cautious.

But he clamped his mouth shut right away.

If the mutant fish swarmed Liang Yuan, he and his sister could bolt immediately.

With that thought, he stealthily tugged his sister backward in retreat.

Yet the instant after, Lin Miaomiao's eyes bulged wide in utter disbelief.

Lin Jingtang couldn't budge her and grew confused, so he whipped around to check behind.

The sight that met him etched an unforgettable scene into his memory forever!

Liang Yuan closed in fast on the mutant fish group, unleashing an invisible surge of spiritual power the next instant.

All at once, mutant fish heads within almost four hundred meters burst apart.

The horrifying spirit shock delivered a ruthless area-wide blast, wiping out every lifeform nearby!

System notifications of points earned flooded Liang Yuan's mind nonstop.

He tuned them out entirely, observing the mutant fish plummet around him like pouring rain.

Liang Yuan's grin widened as he swept his hand, stashing the mutant fish into his item inventory.

These mutated fish's blood and bones hold value; back home, the slaughterhouse might yield rune bones from them.

Liang Yuan pressed on without stopping, weaving through the mutant fish cluster.

Before long, a enormous slab of flesh came into view ahead, having flattened a building.

This slab measured under ten meters across, flattened in shape.

Right now, its edges bore the marks of frenzied nibbling by countless mutant fish, exposing eerie white bones.

Fresh blood poured steadily from the chewed spots, swirling through the water.

This very blood, brimming with superpower energy, had drawn the massive influx of mutant creatures!

Liang Yuan approached the flattened flesh slab, noting tough scales still coating its surface.

Little wonder the mutant fish stuck to the edges—these scales proved far too resilient.

Though the sword-tail sea snake lay dead, ordinary mutant fish couldn't pierce those scales easily.

They resorted to ripping at the rift-sliced sections alone.

Liang Yuan grasped the severed tail and whisked the whole thing straight into his item inventory!

A rough guess put this tail's weight at tens of tons.

No surprise Lin Jingtang failed to shift it.

Before their eyes, Liang Yuan merely touched it, and the multi-ton severed tail vanished into nothingness.

Lin Jingtang's eyes popped open, his face twisting in shock.

"What, what, what’s going on?" Lin Jingtang blurted out, bubbles erupting from his cheeks.

Lin Miaomiao's eyes stretched wide too, her heart racing, as realization dawned: "Space superpower! He, he is a space superpower user!"

"No, that’s not right, he is clearly a merfolk transformation ability user." Lin Jingtang blurted involuntarily.

Lin Miaomiao had another epiphany and declared: "Then he must have space equipment!"

This idea clicked for Lin Jingtang instantly.

True enough, space equipment could swallow something that massive whole.

But such gear only dropped from spatial mutation beasts.

And every spatial mutation beast ranked as a top-tier powerhouse.

Did this guy truly possess space equipment?

After storing the tail, Liang Yuan missed the siblings' stunned reactions and scanned the area swiftly.

His eyes locked onto a vast trench gouged into the ground nearby.

This gash mirrored the one in the wrinkled space perfectly.

Blood remnants pooled thickly inside it too!

"It’s that sword-tail sea snake!"

Liang Yuan's pulse quickened, and he sped along the trench without delay.

Trailing him, Lin Miaomiao and Lin Jingtang shared a look.

Lin Miaomiao whispered: "Brother, he’s gone, what should we do?"

Lin Jingtang's gaze shifted as he replied: "It seems he really doesn’t intend to trouble us."

After weighing options, Lin Jingtang stated firmly: "Let’s leave here!"

Lin Miaomiao paused for a moment before asking: "But don’t you want to find a physical mutation beast to break through the genetic species?"

Lin Jingtang shook his head faintly and replied: "I can take my time to hunt a physical mutation beast, but I won’t allow you to face dangers alongside me. Let’s head back for now and figure out our next moves."

Upon hearing those words, Lin Miaomiao balked at departing. She clenched her teeth and declared: "Brother, I refuse to let you forfeit this chance on my account."

"That guy doesn’t look like a villain. With his severed tail right now, he possesses a huge quantity of blood—we ought to trail him. We might negotiate a deal and snag some blood from him!"

"He can’t consume all that blood single-handedly."

Lin Jingtang furrowed his brow: "Human nature is fickle. He might overlook us at present, but persisting in our pursuit risks him harboring dangerous ideas—I won’t wager on that."

Lin Miaomiao stood firm: "Brother, he’s at least someone we can reason with. Mutated beasts offer no room for bargains. If you stay put, I’ll go negotiate with him myself!"

With those words, she wrenched free from Lin Jingtang’s grasp and dashed swiftly after Liang Yuan.

Lin Jingtang’s expression darkened as he chased right behind: "Little sister!"

Liang Yuan truly harbored no desire to hassle the siblings. He paid them no mind and pressed on, tracing the deep furrow in the earth.

Moments later, he came to an abrupt halt upon spotting a enormous shopping mall looming ahead.

A massive breach gaped at the mall’s entrance, evidently smashed open by some massive creature forcing its entry.

A fierce gleam sparked in Liang Yuan’s eyes as he hurried closer.

He first scanned the vast mall using his spiritual power, promptly detecting intense superpower surges within!

"Is this the sword-tail sea snake?"

A spark of eagerness lit Liang Yuan’s gaze as his form darted inside rapidly.

Chaos reigned throughout the mall, with countless walls and storefronts crumbled, alongside deep gouges and crush marks scarring the floor from immense weights.

Fresh blood smeared the ground thickly. Liang Yuan glided forward several hundred meters before his face suddenly twisted.

There lay a titanic serpentine mutated beast, coiled amid the mall’s heart like an enormous heap of waste upon the tiled floor.

Its tail ended in a raw stump, plainly hacked off midway, with copious blood still oozing forth.

Yet now, a subtle glow shimmered at the injury site, sealing off the bleeding.

Liang Yuan recognized it at once—this was undoubtedly the sword-tail sea snake!

Even in its coiled state, the beast’s bulk utterly dominated the mall’s central space.

Its head loomed perilously close to the fifth floor’s lofty ceiling.

Eyes shut tight, it slumbered in repose, evidently mending itself.

Holding back from an immediate assault, Liang Yuan scanned the vicinity with utmost caution.

Assured that solely the sword-tail sea snake occupied the area, a foreboding chill gripped him.

"Where’s Li Qinghua? With this creature still alive, could it have swallowed her whole..."

As Liang Yuan mulled this over, a blinding radiance abruptly erupted from the fifth floor!
