Elijah made a decision within himself and imdiately controlled his perception to sense the female zombie. Then, with a punch, he broke its neck, destroying its brainstem.
The female zombie collapsed instantly.
Elijah drew out his dagger and extracted its corpse core.
It was a translucent white corpse core, almost free of impurities, with a hint of orange beginning to show at its core.
"Indeed, this female zombie is about to advance to the second stage. If I don't deal with it now, it might break free from my control before !"
This was another major reason Elijah chose it.
Facing that freaky "ntal intimidation" ability, Elijah had a vague sense of it.
Since there were uncontrollable factors, it was better to give up on it!
Confirming the dissipation of the Seed of Consciousness linked within the female zombie's body, Elijah returned to the stern.
"Now, I have one contract slot available, just enough to contract this shark!"
"How are you going to give the shark blood? Are you going to let it bite you?" Sophia asked, puzzled.
Elijah instantly had a black line on his head.
Let the shark take a bite? Then it's not just about a drop of blood!
"You forgot we have a fishing rod!" Elijah retorted.
Sophia held her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
That would hurt!
Elijah couldn't help but smile at her silly appearance, saying, "Let's go back up and see how I catch the shark!"
So the three of them returned to the fishing spot on the side of the boat.
Elijah grabbed a small fish from the fish tank, killed it directly, and then injected a drop of blood containing the Seed of Consciousness into the fish's body.
If it were a live fish, the Seed of Consciousness would directly integrate into its body, controlling the fish.
But since the fish was dead, there wouldn't be a problem.
Elijah used this fish as bait and then switched to Sophia's perception ability, quickly locating the shark.
When the shark approached, Elijah seized the opportunity and cast the bait.
The shark slled the bloody scent, containing a hint of sothing it had long desired, and imdiately lunged forward, swallowing the bait whole.
With the bait's mission accomplished, Elijah cut the fishing line. He had no intention of really catching it; his equipnt couldn't handle such a big fellow.
"Alright, we just need to wait for this shark to digest a bit!"
Unlike directly drinking its blood, the Seed of Consciousness inside the bait would only take effect when the shark started digesting it and ca into contact with its body.
This would take so ti!
The three of them waited for a while like this, Elijah and Sophia keeping their abilities active, observing the shark.
About fifteen minutes later, Elijah suddenly sensed a spiritual tether connecting between him and the shark.
"We did it!" Elijah's face lit up with joy, imdiately commanding the shark to swim closer to the yacht's stern.
Once again, the three returned to the stern, watching the shark quietly floating there.
"Wow, up close, this shark is really huge!" Sophia exclaid.
"Indeed, and it looks sowhat familiar, like Jaws from the movies!" Hannah also sighed.
Elijah observed carefully and noticed that this shark was about 4 ters long, with a spindle-shaped body. The trunk was thick, but towards the head and tail, it gradually beca smaller.
There was a tall dorsal fin on its back, triangular in shape, which was also the first impression people got when they saw sharks in movies on the surface.
"It does look a bit like Jaws!" Elijah nodded.
"Well, why don't we try riding it?" Elijah joked.
"Huh? Is that possible?" Sophia asked in amazent.
"Why not? It's our pet now!" Elijah said as he jumped into the sea and quickly climbed onto the shark's back.
In the end, Elijah couldn't manage it.
He attempted to press down on the great white shark, but with nowhere to grip due to the slippery surface of the shark's back, he ended up sliding down again.
Controlling the water, Elijah managed to hold onto the shark and grabbed onto its dorsal fin.
The dorsal fin of the shark was positioned towards the rear middle of its body, making it difficult for Elijah to grab onto it properly.
He had to lean backward and grab onto the fin from behind.
Hannah and Sophia watched Elijah's slightly comical attempt and couldn't help but chuckle. "Haha, you're riding a shark backward!"
Elijah exclaid, as he urged the shark to swim forward.
Like a reverse speedboat, Elijah watched as the scenery on both sides receded rapidly.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Elijah played around for a while, then decided to let Sophia and Hannah have a try.
However, both girls were hesitant to get close to the shark and didn't dare to co down.
Finding it boring, Elijah decided to stop bothering the shark.
"We have a dog nad Yello at ho. From now on, I'll call you Whitey!"
Elijah patted Whitey's body, letting it roam freely near the yacht as he returned to the deck.
"The fish rider returns. How does it feel?" Sophia asked playfully, eyeing him.
"Not bad, but it would be better if I could ride it properly!" Elijah replied with a grin, looking at her.
"To be honest, I prefer driving other things rather than riding fish!"
"What?" Sophia instinctively replied.
At this point, Hannah pulled her away, spitting, "Don't listen to his nonsense, let's continue fishing!"
"Oh..." Sophia glanced at Hannah in confusion, sensing that Elijah's previous words might not have been complintary.
Elijah chuckled to himself, feeling that the experience had given him a new understanding of what he was good at.
Seeing the two girls return to the side of the boat to fish, with Whitey taken care of, and nothing else to do for now, Elijah suddenly rembered the female zombie corpse on the deck.
He went back to the deck, threw the corpse into the sea, and then cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground.
As the female zombie's body fell into the water, Whitey sensed the sll of blood nearby and imdiately swam over.
"Huh?"
Elijah noticed Whitey's intention but didn't stop it imdiately. Instead, he leaned over and began to observe carefully.
Whitey opened its large mouth, and with one bite, it tore the zombie corpse in half, then proceeded to devour one half before tearing into the remaining half.
As the zombie corpse was consud, Elijah noticed a subtle change in Whitey's body.
But unlike humans! If humans ca into contact with zombie blood, they would turn into zombies. But not Whitey! It seed that the zombie virus was ineffective in its body!
"Right, in my mory, only mammals seem to turn into zombies, but it's not absolute... At least I haven't heard of poultry, birds, fish, or insects turning into zombies! As for other more diverse creatures..."
Elijah thought for a mont, realizing that in the area where he lived in his previous life, there seed to be no reports of any strange creatures turning into zombies.
"It seems that this zombie virus is also targeted!" Elijah reacted.
"So, if these creatures that are not affected by the zombie virus eat zombies, and then humans eat these creatures, will they be affected by the virus and turn into zombies?"
Elijah pondered silently. He naturally wouldn't eat them himself, but if people consud these fish that had consud humans and were unaffected by the virus, then he could cultivate Spirit fish by feeding them corpse core!
"I can try it when I get back!" Elijah nodded to himself.
Just then, Sophia suddenly exclaid, "That Spirit fish is back again!"
