Chapter 108

Time ticked by, and every second was torture for the Sea King.

The Witch Tribe's treasure vault had long been swept clean. Other than the bottle of black medicine, he did not find a second thing that could give Gu Ding and the others a chance to escape. He simulated the current situation thousands of times, and every simulation ended with the death of the three of them. There were no exceptions.

"Neptune …" Gu Ding looked down at the time on his wristwatch. "It's already noon."

Although Neptune was reluctant, he knew that this was the only way. He took out the bottle of black potion from his storage space. The colorless seal energy that was invisible to the naked eye on the outside of the medicine bottle gradually dissipated as he unlocked it.

Gu Ding picked up the medicine, took a deep breath, uncorked the bottle, and poured the bottle of black medicine into his mouth.

Gu Ding did not feel anything unusual for a few seconds when the black medicine was poured down his throat. However, when the medicine entered his stomach, Gu Ding felt as if someone had planted a bomb in his body. The crazy impact of the energy caused Gu Ding to fall into a temporary state of shock.

His brain seemed to go blank for a few seconds. During the few seconds when Gu Ding was on the verge of death, Neptune found that the virus in Gu Ding's body had reappeared and began to crazily devour the taboo energy.

The first thing Gu Ding felt when he regained consciousness was excruciating pain. Every cell in his body seemed to be wailing in pain. Gu Ding did not feel anything other than pain. He insisted on keeping his consciousness awake and did not want to pass out because he guessed that if he did not make it, he would probably never wake up again.

Gu Ding did not know how long he had been holding on. Under that kind of pain, one second was more painful than ten thousand years.

Under Neptune's observation, the virus in Gu Ding's body devoured for nearly half an hour before the taboo energy completely disappeared. Only then did Gu Ding's pain completely disappear.

Neptune silently observed the changes in Gu Ding's body. Soon, he also saw a change in one of Gu Ding's gene chains. That tiny gene chain quickly turned black. Then, that black color was like ink on a white canvas. It began to quickly infect the nearby gene chains and spread out.

Neptune was a little worried as he looked at the horrifying speed of the infection and the momentum that seemed to have no intention of stopping. In just a few seconds, two-thirds of the two complete double helix gene chains in Gu Ding's body had been dyed black. However, the black staining continued and did not slow down at all.

"What the hell happened?" There were no records of taboo powers in Neptune's database. After all, his current authority was still limited. There were some special information that he could not access. He became slightly anxious when he saw the changes in Gu Ding's body.

Gu Ding lay on the ground, unable to move. He felt as if his body no longer belonged to him after the pain he had just experienced. He could not even blink his eyes, let alone speak.

The ink-staining only ended when the entire gene chain turned completely black. Neptune also noticed that the black gene chain was very different from Gu Ding's original gene chain.

At that moment, Gu Ding finally regained control of his body.

"Poseidon, help me check my body's data."

Neptune immediately projected Gu Ding's latest body data.

Gu Ding was stunned when he saw this new ability. This was an ability that even deities would be afraid of. If a deity's energy was sealed by him, they would be no different from ordinary people. They could even be killed by ordinary people. The most terrifying thing was that it could evolve. If the sealing time was extended or the interval was shortened, it was even possible for a single target seal to evolve into an area seal.

Neptune was also a little surprised by Gu Ding's ability. As a super-intelligent life, he knew very well how terrifying it was to seal any living body indiscriminately. This meant that Gu Ding could not only seal deities, but he could also seal unconventional super life forms like himself and Skynet.

"Looks like we're saved!" Gu Ding immediately had a new plan in his mind.

"As long as we seal Oldman, Biggie will definitely be able to stop the others." Neptune's biggest concern was finally solved. "Other than Oldman, there's only one Rank-10 Gene Body and two Rank-9 Gene Bodies in this Witch Tribe. However, under the curse, these people's combat effectiveness is less than half of their normal state."

"What I'm worried about now is whether Biggie can do it …" Gu Ding knew that Biggie was the key to this escape plan. "You should know this too. He can't fight humans at all. He has a psychological barrier."

"If he doesn't fight and just runs away with you, he should be able to do it, right?" When Gu Ding mentioned it, Neptune remembered that there was such a thing. He had heard Biggie and Gu Ding talking about it.

"I don't know …" Gu Ding did not know how serious Biggie's psychological barrier was, but he knew very well that Biggie was the key to their successful escape.

"Let me talk to him," Neptune suggested after a moment of silence.
