Chapter 7: An Opportunity to Escape

Walking into the cabin, to Helo's surprise, the dilapidated looking fishing boat's inner compartment was extraordinarily large.

The inner warehouse is divided into two levels, the middle one is supposed to be used as a cover-up effect, and some fish are stored inside.

But the pungent stench choked Helo's breath.

It stinks worse than the slime secreted by the fishmen, and who knows how long they've been letting these catches last.

The aunt walked to a corner and bit the plank with her mutated right arm, revealing the entrance to the lower level.

When he looked closer, a narrow wooden staircase appeared in front of Herlo.

"Helo, you go ahead!"

Compared to Helo's caution at the moment, he tiptoed.

After my aunt came here, she was obviously much bolder.

Helo was driven down, followed by the big silly fishman who had been carrying him all the way, and the aunt walked in the last position, and when he went down, there was some noise at the entrance, as if the aunt was doing something small.

But Helo was no longer visible.

Walking in the front is also to facilitate the fish-man to control him, but it is precisely because there is no obstacle from the fish-man in front of him that he can carefully observe the specific situation of this layer.

Hiss!

Even though it was pitch black, his blessed soul eyes could see clearly, an entire layer of square cages made of unknown materials, most of which were children his size, with the same chains on their feet as they had been wearing.

Damn Green! I also want him to come to work on the ship, and the eight achievements of the part-time ship are here!

Without waiting for Helo to react, the fish-man pushed him, telling him to get out of the way, and when his aunt came down, he blocked the entrance to the stairs with his wide body.

Helo inadvertently took two steps back and asked, "What did Auntie bring me here for?" ”

"Don't worry, you will see everything, the deep sea sacrifices will not stop until they have received enough sacrifices, and the greedy souls will devour everything in the harbor until they are satisfied. I've had plenty of time to satisfy it, and by the time those Imperial Warlocks return, it's too late. ”

The aunt seemed to think of something beautiful, smiled very happily, and patiently explained to Helo.

Laughing as he groped for the darkness in the cabin.

As he fumbled, the cabin suddenly became bright, and Helo fixed his eyes to see dozens of oil lamps embedded in a circle along the bulkhead of the ship, and on the lamps were green fires.

Seeing Helo's frightened expression, the aunt continued:

"Whenever the fish-men in the harbor die, we make oil lamps from their grease to light them better, but also to isolate the smell from the inside and outside with the smell of the deep sea."

"What about these kids?"

Helo took the opportunity to ask, he had observed, the children in the cabin were still breathing, and there were no wounds on their bodies, they should have taken drugs that caused coma.

"They, like you, are children raised in the port, and we've waited too long for this sacrifice."

"Aren't you afraid that the magicians of the empire will purify you?"

The aunt slowly walked towards Helo, picked up a cage on the way, opened the cage mouth, walked in front of Helo, and smashed his chest with a wave of Yuhua's right hand, and there was no time to defend, and his body couldn't stop flying backwards.

"Ahem.."

The severe pain in his heart made him speechless, and he forcibly coughed up a mouthful of blood clots, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Aren't you afraid that Mena will come back?" Are you not afraid of the magicians of the Empire? ”

Damn, this old woman is going to do it!

He had already frantically infused soul energy into the rune nails, and it didn't make sense that he could sense Mena's presence, and Mena, the spellcaster, didn't react.

"It seems that you already know what will happen next, you have been smarter than other children since you were a child, and your aunt likes you very much, but the tone of your voice just now, your aunt doesn't like it."

The aunt picked up the immobile Helo in her left hand, threw him into the cage, and then squatted in front of the cage, and said to Heloh frantically:

"Stay here and watch my aunt perform the great sacrifice."

With that, the aunt took Helo aside, turned to the fish-man blocking the door, and began to take care of the randomly piled cages in the cabin.

In the center of the cabin, as the messy cage was removed, Helo saw a large and mysterious formation.

I don't know if it's because of the encroachment of time or because the seaside is too wet, the powder color has become extremely light, and even some lines are disconnected.

I saw that my aunt didn't know where to take out a package, and along the boundary of the formation, she kept taking out white powder from the bag, and began to make up for the defects of the formation.

"I can't wait, and the end of sitting still can only be slaughtered by the old woman."

The sacrifice that needed to be made by a human sacrifice, and Helo knew that it would be extremely bloody when he thought about it.

Fortunately, the injury just now made the old woman relax her vigilance against him, not only did she not restrain him, but she also did not send a fishman to watch over him.

Although there is less room to move in the small cage, it can still accommodate his operation.

While my aunt was immersed in the formation, there was no chance to be lost.

"Right now!"

Helo pulled out all the runic nails he had collected earlier.

Infused with soul energy, [Steel Charge] amplitude.

The rune at the end of the iron nail gradually turned red, and taking advantage of the sharpness of the iron nail, Helo hurriedly inserted it into the wooden floor, squeezing the gap in the middle.

One by one, Helo estimated the distance, pushing the cage with each rune spike he inserted, allowing the rune spike to occupy as much space between the planks as possible.

The hull, which had been scrapped due to too long of use, the planks themselves had been baptized by time and swelled to the extreme, and now they began to squeak slightly after being squeezed by the rune nails.

At the same time, the aunt also finished re-carving the circle.

Right before Helo's eyes, the fish-men opened the cages and dragged the sleeping children into the circle.

There was no need for any other tools, just sharp scales on the body, which served as a bloodletting.

Pull the person out of the cage with one hand, and cut the scales with the other to bleed.

Very efficient.

And the aunt also strolled to Helo's side.

"In the face of death, you should feel fear, the more you fear the undead in the deep sea, the more satisfied you will be, and the more rewards you will give us... What? ”

In her impression, the timid Helo should be frightened when he saw the children being slaughtered and bloodletting, but there was no trace of fear on Helo's face, only the corners of his mouth grinning to his ears... Grin!

At this moment, Helo did not hesitate to kick the ground with one leg.

Crunch!

Not enough!

Helo grabbed the cage pole above his head with both hands, pulled his body up, and with the weight of his body, stomped his feet hard against the plank.

"No!"

The aunt didn't react to Helo's first move, and didn't notice a row of nails in the cracks of the planks until the second time.

Bang!

The planks beneath Helo's feet suddenly crumbled, and the knock-on effect of feedback began to shatter all the planks in this layer.

A thousand miles of embankment collapsed in an anthill.

Runic nails pry the abandoned fishing boat.

Abnormal tilting of the hull began.

Caused the aunt who was furious to kill Herlo slipped.

Frightened, Helo pushed up the cage and began to run to the side.

'If you're killed before the chaos, you're going to lose it!' ’
