Chapter 8: Predation

The planks at the bottom of the cabin began to crumble apart, creating a large gap, and not only that, but even the planks on the side of the hull were shattered and opened a large gap.

"Not good! Come on! ”

The aunt, who barely managed to stabilize her figure, was shocked to see the hull of the ship crack.

You can see the sea outside from this big hole.

What is the use of the fish-man oil lamp in isolating the breath?

Whether it is the undead in the [Deep Sea Sacrifice] or the deep sea soul beast that holds the authority of the forbidden domain, they are all extremely sensitive to flesh and blood.

"! If you remove me, I'm still here, take me away, why am I also your sacrifice! ”

The moment the cabin cracked, Helo accidentally fell into the gap with the cage.

He also heard the old woman's shout, but now he fell into the gap, and the cage was just stuck, unable to move, and could not open the cage door.

Burst!

There was a loud sound of breaking water.

Helo could sense a suffocating sense of dread as he approached the hull.

The mentality collapsed, as if I had played myself in.

After the aunt shouted, Heloh did not hear the footsteps, not even the slightest sound.

Even the candles in the bright hall were extinguished.

Fear pressed his nerves, just as he held his breath.

Through the chasm overhead, Helo saw a large shadow peeking into the cabin.

It's a tentacle!

The slime on it makes a 'cooing' sound as the tentacles swipe.

Not for a moment.

A large pool of blood spilled from the top of Helo's head.

It's eating!

Splattered blood and corpses, internal organs, intestines, and blood that had just been steaming with hot air...... Thrown everywhere, sticking to the cabin slowly getting cold and hardening, solidifying.

The smell of bloody sweetness permeates the rainy night.

The whole cabin seems to have been taken away by the ghost hidden in the deep sea.

All of Helo's senses were shattered in the tentacles' furious sweep of food.

Even hiding in the cracks, the sound of the whistling wind can be heard in the ears, like a steel needle cutting through the metal surface, and countless high-frequency and sharp beeping strings hit the eardrum, transmitted into the mind, and turned into a tearing pain.

The wind pressure caused a clear tingling pain in all parts of the body, and the torso and limbs continued to be cut as if by a knife blade.

Suddenly there was a wail from above!

It's not the old woman, it's the fish-man!

But the old woman must still be hiding in the cabin, and he didn't believe she could get out in such a short time.

That soul beast hid under the ship in the first place, escaping? It's just feeding yourself to its mouth.

Even now, it's just a bloody feast of play.

And after the tentacles swept around the cabin, they didn't retreat, and slowly reached into the gap where Helo was.

"Isn't it, big brother, you still hold me with so much blood food? ’

Seeing the tentacles groping in front of the cage, nothing happened, but touched the cage and skimmed over it, touching the side.

'It didn't attack me?' ’

Originally, Helo was already lying flat and not ready to struggle, but to his surprise, the spiritual tentacles seemed to ignore him, and directly skimmed over and groped towards the other places in the gap.

As if sensing Heloh relax, the tentacles slammed back and slammed into the cage.

"I knew it was playing with me!"

With so many children in the cage above, can it not know that the cage exists?

In front of this tentacle thicker than Helo's body, the cage was fragile like a building block toy in the hands of a child, and it was crushed into slag just by looking at it.

Helo, who shrunk his body into a ball, felt for the first time what 'force majeure' was.

The impact of the old woman's right arm was still within the scope of Helo's acceptance, at least he could still stay conscious.

But this time, Helo's whole body was swept away, and his back slammed into the cross-section of the broken plank, and the wooden spikes pierced his back with horrific scars, and even consciousness gradually blurred.

I had just healed some of my internal injuries from the recovery effect attached to the [Physique] module, and now I have been hit hard.

After the tentacle succeeded, it did not take the opportunity to kill Helo, but hung in the air and kept shaking.

It's like... I was very happy to treat him as a fun toy, and I was reluctant to kill him so soon.

"No, it's going to die, and if it doesn't move, it loses the fun of the toy..."

Helo cheered up, endured the severe pain in his back, and began to climb up to the gap with his hands and feet, not fast, but fortunately, the tentacles did not burst as expected.

This is his only chance!

Just about three meters tall had exhausted Herlo, but it wasn't time to relax, and just as he stretched himself out, he looked up and saw his aunt fixed to the ceiling with her fish-like arms.

Helo scolded with a bloody smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I've found you, old woman! Die to die together! ”

Brought him here, and now you want to stay out of it?

Fuck you!

Gritting his teeth and raising his hand, he threw out the three rune nails he had just picked up.

Soul energy is infused, and the amplitude effect is stacked.

The moment it was thrown out, the rune iron nail had a bit of Mena's popping style, and after all, it had a trace of soul magic.

"You dare!?"

Bang Bang Bang!

Unsurprisingly, the three rune iron nails were blocked by the old woman, but Helo's original purpose was not to hurt her, just with his two taels of flesh, whether he could break the defense at such a distance was another matter.

But as long as there is some movement, someone will naturally clean her up.

The tentacles that had been stagnant next to Helo sensed the movement of the ceiling, and happily seemed to have found a more interesting toy, which exploded in an instant and ejected.

In a trance, Helo could only see the tentacles elongated into a blurry light, and he didn't have time to see anything clearly.

I heard a miserable cry.

With a pop, the aunt fell heavily on the board.

Half of his body shattered into a pile of lifeless flesh, and the fish-shaped bones that looked extremely hard were torn apart, revealing the white bones inside.

The heart-rending screams still lingered on the ceiling.

For Herlo, it's a lingering sound.

Helo propped himself up and rushed forward, his staggering pace making him lose his balance and fall again, but it also allowed Helo to pick up a rune spike.

"Whether it's the deep-sea sacrifice in your mouth, or the deep-sea soul beast that is extremely playful, they all treat me as blood food, this time! I'm going to take food! ”

No matter how her aunt tossed her body to relieve the pain, Helo found the right time, the black module vibrate, the [corrosion] amplitude effect was blessed, and the rune iron nail in her hand went straight into the center of her eyebrows.

A purple glow pierced the scales on the center of his eyebrows.

"A little faster, a little faster... I don't want to die! ”

The oppression that gradually approached behind him made Helo's voice distort slightly, as if someone had grabbed his throat, full of terrifying fear.

A scarlet module popped out of the corpse in front of it.

Connected to the fate of Helo's blood, the gambler was rewarded with all his courage.

【New Students】

[Amplitude Effect: Greatly Strengthens Healing Effect +1]

In the module system, two modules of the same color flicker, and the amplitude effect is superimposed.

Vigorous vitality poured out from the depths of Helo's body.
