Chapter 49 The Bloody Sea

Karaken's horror isn't just their sheer numbers and incredible speed of marching.

When the first Karaken climbed onto the deck, it did not hesitate to attack the humans on board. The monster opened its exaggerated jaw, and a very long frog tongue shot out like lightning, striking the head of one of the sailors on deck with lightning speed, and then retracting it with great speed, grabbing the sailor's head and dragging him back.

After dragging the man to his side, the Karaken immediately wrapped his arms and feet around him, but instead of pulling his sharp tongue out of the poor sailor's head, there was a sound similar to "stained stains". Karaken's tongue was hollow, and through the thin membrane wall, a red and white semi-liquid fluid could be seen being sucked from the sailor's head into Karaken's body.

The Skinned Frog Monster is sucking human brains!

The poor sailor was able to struggle a few times at first, but soon he was completely immobile, not even a convulsion caused by the conditioned reflex, and it could be seen that the monster had completely destroyed the sailor's nervous system. It uses its tongue to suck not only human brains, but also inches along the spinal cone, all the way to suck the spinal cord inside and wipe it clean!

The rest of the sailor's comrades had not been on the sidelines throughout the bloody "eating", but the scene in front of them was so horrific that most of them lost precious reaction time because of the shock.

But even if someone can react in time, it can't prevent the tragedy from happening at all!

I saw several middle- and low-ranking officers rushing over wielding spears and sabers, even if they couldn't save their colleagues who were killed, they would have to break this hateful monster into pieces!

The results, however, were striking. Just like the previous arrow attacks, sharp spears and swords, no matter how hard they slash down, are always bounced off or slipped across Karaken's surface. The Karaken looked rough and uneven, as if there was no friction at all.

In fact, there is absolutely no such thing as zero friction in this world. After a closer look, it was found that in Karaken's muscles exposed in the air, a colorless thick mucus was constantly secreted, covering Karaken's whole body, greatly reducing the friction of Karaken's appearance, if it were not for the strength of the completely vertical action, whether it was arrows, swords, or spears, they would not be able to hurt these skinned frog monsters for half a point.

The attacks of the officers were ineffective, and a few more Karaken climbed up and soon surrounded them, while the warriors behind were eager to save and rushed over to attack the Karaken with their swords they had with them.

But this kind of blind rescue was no different from sending him to death, and after a random stabbing and stabbing, not a single Karaken was killed, but a dozen more soldiers and sailors died tragically under Karaken's tongue, and all the brains and spinal cords were sucked dry.

Occasionally, some soldiers were able to encounter "good luck" and plunge their spears into Karaken's body at the most suitable angle, but these monsters did not seem to feel pain, and their mobility was not affected in the slightest when blood flowed and their bodies were penetrated, and they still pounced on them with teeth and teeth. This strange scene shocked the soldiers on the ship.

There is no pain, no fear and exhaustion, and ordinary attacks cannot be killed...... This characteristic is very similar to that of the half-necromantic monster Ghoul, but when dealing with ghouls, you can also remove the ghouls' combat power by cutting off their limbs, but against Karaken, this method is difficult to achieve, because of the existence of smooth slime, if you cut Karaken twenty times, you may not be able to cut them with one knife. Moreover, Karaken has a part of human blood, which means that they have human intelligence and instincts that ordinary low-level demonic beasts do not have. Karaken's way of fighting is not just physical attacks and tongue bites, they will also pick up their weapons from the side of the killed human soldier and then use the weapon to continue attacking other soldiers.

A monster that wields weapons, and for that alone, Karaken has left ghouls far behind.

"It's a shame. The alchemist from the Snowy Federation shook his head in amazement.

He is a diamond alchemist, an eighth-level powerhouse with the power to enter the first ring area, and of course he has read research materials about Karaken who has been frozen for hundreds of years, although he is not very familiar with Karaken, but in this era, he can be regarded as an "expert". If they could have solved the problem of Karaken's "sure rebellion", how could their Snowy Federation be bullied to such an extent?!

"Hammer these monsters to death!"

The emotion of the diamond alchemist is emotional, but for the soldiers who fought bloodily in front, it is a matter of life and death. Some of the more nimble soldiers saw the problem and busily directed the others to rush forward with hammers, clubs, and other percussive weapons. Since both piercing and slashing attacks are difficult to achieve, increase the area of the strike.

The changed attack method really worked. Constant caraken being blasted out by percussive weapons, some being knocked back to sea, and some still falling to the deck. Although Karaken was quickly back on his feet after being knocked out, the sunken piece in his chest proved that those percussive attacks were indeed the most effective attack against Karaken at the moment.

However, the soldiers discovered it too late, and if they had discovered it before the first engagement, they might have had a chance to fight, but now there were far more Karakens on board the ships than the humans who could fight. Some Karaken even attacked the battleship itself directly, destroying the hull from the bottom of the ship and from the waterline. Only two of the most severely damaged warships were seen, which disintegrated and sank directly at sea.

Countless sailors and soldiers fell into the sea, and were immediately surrounded by Karaken, a hundred times their size, and then dragged to the bottom, where a large mass of crimson blood could be seen rising from below. Even if you don't see it, you know what happened to the soldiers who were dragged to the bottom of the sea.

At the same time, the melee in the sky was extremely fierce. From time to time, I saw the corpses of humans and griffins falling from the sky, and of course, at the same time, a larger number of harpy corpses fell, all of which fell in the vast sea.

The entire sea has been stained with blood!

"Don't these monsters have any weaknesses?" Standing on the bridge of the fleet's flagship, General Holgen Ilyich, the commander-in-chief, asked the alchemist "expert" beside him.

"Uh...... This man-made monster has an extremely short lifespan, only a few months to live. Searching through his own memories of the research materials, the alchemist "expert" struggled to squeeze out a little something.

"A few months!" the corners of Holkin's mouth twitched slightly, and the words of this "expert" were equal to nothing.

Not to mention waiting a few months for these monsters to die a natural death, if this grim situation continues for a few more hours, the entire fleet may be wiped out.

"Also, Karaken should, might, maybe be afraid of fire. The "alchemist" expert continued to squeeze out something useful, but from his tone, he could tell that he didn't know if this "weakness" existed.

"Fire?!"

Holkin's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again. This is the vast sea, and fire does not play much role at all, and if you attack with fire on a battleship, you will undoubtedly be buried with the battleship and the people on it!

They are here to crusade against the Truth Society, not to die with these disgusting, filthy things.
