Facing the fog of death that can kill any life, the soul beast is no longer greedy for the temptation of the scarlet meat ball.
finally.
The terrifying tentacle exited the cabin and was put back.
"Hey! You know how powerful I am!"
Seeing that the crisis was over, Hero breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not over yet! Next, let's wait for the body to regain mobility. After escaping from the ship, there are still many fishmen hiding in the darkness of residential areas in the port.
Observing the appearance of the fishmen, it seems that after complete mutation, they will lose most of their rationality and have no subjective consciousness. Without the command of their aunt, they will only devour anyone other than their own kind.
It's not easy to sneak out of the port from the crowd of fish..."
Hero tried to focus on the most severely injured parts of his feet. He had a fractured tibia in his left leg and a comminuted fracture in his right foot.
With the control of consciousness.
The flesh threads on the right chest and arm stopped crawling and repairing, while the flesh threads in these two places accelerated the repair progress.
Escape before the undead in [Deep Sea Ritual] arrive!
Fighting for every minute and every second during this period is torture.
Unconsciously, the temperature in the cabin dropped rapidly, and Hero felt his hands and feet were cold. He opened his mouth, but he could no longer control his tongue to speak clearly.
He struggled to get a few words out of his throat, but when he reached his mouth, they turned into meaningless hoarse shouts.
The wind and rain blowing in from the hatch of the ship swallowed up his voice.
Did the undead come so quickly? The temperature in this area is close to that of the Far North.
Hero's thinking gradually became chaotic, and the sharp cold was like a sharp knife, tearing the life out of his body and tearing it into pieces.
'Oops, I didn't expect the formation blood food to be so attractive to the [Deep Sea Sacrifice], this happened too fast!'
Suddenly, the ship under Hero started shaking up and down like a roller coaster.
Turning his head, he saw the scene outside through the large hole in the cabin wall.
The heavy rain stopped without knowing when, and a large gray fog was approaching. Under the bright moonlight, what stood between the ship and the fog turned out to be a huge octopus!
The eight tentacles that penetrate the sea and the sky dance wildly.
The wild dance of the tentacles created a chaotic force field in this sea area. A force field was generated near each tentacle, stirring up deep sea vortices to block the advancement of the fog.
"Is it that soul beast? He didn't leave! He's still trying to buy me time!"
Now it seems that the tentacle that just reached into the cabin is only the most slender part of the top.
Hero looked at this shocking sight and was stunned. Was the shaking just now caused by the creation of a vortex?
The weight of the seawater caused by the huge size of the octopus soul beast can be calculated in tens of thousands of tons. It is precisely because of the surging water curtain caused by the churning whirlpool that it blocked the pace of the undead mist harvesting life. The two sides even fought back and forth.
With the soul beast buying time, Hero, who had not fully recovered his mobility, stood up and staggered out of the cabin, climbing onto the deck.
"No wonder... If this soul beast doesn't run away, it turns out there is nowhere to run..."
The abandoned fleet at the foot was gathered by the port fishermen into a concave pier.
The geographical location is relatively remote, far away from the front of the coastline for port transportation. There are some extremely hard rocks on the left and right.
So much so that the fog surrounded it, giving the illusion of being surrounded by one.
Hero can escape by land, but how can this extremely huge spirit beast escape?
This is offshore, and even if it wants to drill down, it won't be able to get in.
I heard from the magician's apprentice before that it rode the offshore tide to rise to the coast. The tide has not receded, so it has no external force to help it dive into the deep sea.
In other words...it ran aground!
"I'm telling you, you played with me to death earlier, and now you help me, and you're wasting your feelings. Bye bye, my dear!"
Just when Hero was about to jump from the boat to the shore.
A hand suddenly grabbed his raincoat from behind, and his tendency to jump into the air stopped abruptly.
"Gah? Who!?"
Helo used his waist strength to twist hard. The sudden appearance of a hand at this critical moment frightened him. For a thousandth of a second, he even thought that the old witch had come back from the dead to settle a score with him.
And when he turned his head, he saw that unexpected person, Lao Liu who had been hiding outside the plot!
"Baron Menard?"
You were not involved in the entire plot line at all, and you jumped out at this moment?
Mena still had that cynical smile.
"Did you have fun? You almost delayed my good deeds, kid~"
Holo was very angry: "You call this playing? Do you know that I am almost dead? I am just one step away from real death!"
"But you are still alive, and you were dancing very happily just now, with an uncontrollable smile on your face. Also, is my piercing rune useful?"
"..."
"Those iron nails?"
Although he didn't want to admit it, it was true that without those iron nails, he would have died under the old witch's fin.
"Iron nails? Haha, you are so ignorant! Also...after all, living in such a remote place, not even the magician's apprentice was born. You will understand after you come into contact with the Holy Land Tower."
As if he was dissatisfied with Hero's outburst, Mena did not continue chatting with him. For him, the question and answer just now was more like sharing the fun of afternoon games with the children next door.
Mena placed Hero on the deck and turned around and walked into the cabin.
"Hey, what are you doing down there again? The [Deep Sea Sacrifice] has already arrived. That soul beast can't hold on for long. When it reaches the point of exhaustion, everything here will be swallowed up!"
Just when Hero was considering whether to ignore him and run away, Menat's characteristic joking tone emerged from underneath:
"The outside is surrounded by murlocs. It's because you activated the formation to let them sense the breath of [Deep Sea Backlash]. The murlocs hidden under the entire port are rushing here. If you go out at this time, you will be against them.
Say, you are the reward given to them by the sacrifice."
"award?"
Damn you, you just walked out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's mouth.
Mena's character is as bad as ever.
He is confident and must have a solution.
Forced to have no choice but to succumb to Mena's power, Hero once again walked into the place where he had just experienced life and death.
"You know, if it weren't for you, my plan might not be so successful."
"Because the formation is activated?"
Hero immediately understood Mena's words. If it weren't for the formation, he would never have appeared here. Only the [Deep Sea Sacrifice] has such appeal, allowing him to choose to escape not far away to seek help from the empire.
, returned here again alone.
Mena seemed to think that Hero should not have reacted so quickly. The smile on his face faltered. Although it was not obvious, Hero still noticed it.
"Although I like you very much, smart children always make people feel frustrated. You should learn to hide yourself. There are not so many kind-hearted people like me in the Holy Land Tower.
This time the fight against [Deep Sea Backlash] is the tower's semester mission, but the empire also wants to take this opportunity to clean up those citizens who have fallen into the embrace of the deep sea.
Don’t blame me for not saving you before, the empire’s orders take precedence, and I need to start the rituals left over from the Great Crusade era.”
Mena explained to Hero patiently.
He could sense Holo's crazy behavior of injecting soul energy into the piercing rune before, and apologized, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he was not a soul magician in the [Moon Tower], and he didn't know how to juggle those clones.
"what about now?"
"The ritual has been activated. It only needs to be charged to destroy [Deep Sea Backlash]. I am here just to activate the energy of the ritual."
"energy?"
The only thing on this abandoned ship that can be qualified as an energy source is... flesh and blood cocoon!
Mena walked to the flesh and blood cocoon and placed his hands on it.
With soul power fluctuations visible to the naked eye, Mena released his soul power output to the limit. Countless silver-white threads exploded from his hands in the form of light, and were poured crazily into the cocoon.
Accompanied by a sound like the breaking of an eggshell, scarlet liquid flowed from the cracks of the cocoon.
Mena took out a brass product that looked like a camera from his pocket, pointed one side at the broken cocoon, and continued to introduce it, as if he was recording.
"Okay, the incident is over!"
After finishing everything, Mena walked to Hero.
"It's time to go. What you are wondering about will be explained to you when we get to a safe place."
Mena took Hero's hand and threw a black chess piece from his sleeve to the ground.
Hero's sharp eyes saw the appearance of the chess piece clearly.
Soldiers in chess!
The black piece lands on the ground and forms a target-like anchor point.
"This is called [Gate], a legendary grand duke-level magician in the Northern Territory. This is made through his soul circuit. The market price is expensive, but it is also the mainstream way for imperial magicians to travel far away. After all, it is still
There are many magicians who cannot fly..."
Mena seemed to have thought of something and laughed out loud.
As the liquid in the cocoons behind them drained away, Mena led Hero to the shining anchor.
At this moment, a roar that resounded throughout the world suddenly rang in Hero's ears.
The eight tentacles of the octopus spirit beast outside the cabin began to sweep across and spin violently.
The tornado rising into the sky...
Hero noticed that the system was popping up reminders like crazy.
The number of [Soul Shards] on the module system is rising crazily.
【666】
【888】
【2048】
...
'The soul power released by the soul beast can also produce soul fragments?'
With a cry, the soul beast that had been resisting countless undead souls suddenly collapsed.
And just when the light from the anchor point of the [Door] covered Hero's body, an icy and slippery ball flew in from the broken hole in the cabin.
At the last moment of the [Gate] teleportation, I happened to fall into the arms of Holo...
