Chapter 150 Mermaid Cruise [End]

Chapter 150 Mermaid Cruise [End]

On the spare fishing boat, Chu Qing and Lu Yaoling looked a little reserved.

"Can we really leave the dungeon?"

Chu Qing lowered her head, stared at the tip of her shoes and muttered to herself.

Lu Yaoling was obviously shorter than Chu Qing and had a more childish face, but at this moment she behaved like an older sister and was very calm. The only difference was that the words she said did not sound like words of comfort.

"I can't win the fight, and I still owe you money, so I might as well die."

After experiencing the ups and downs of life, Lu Yaoling showed her boredom with living, just like a world-weary girl.

"Anyway, if I leave this instance, I still have to go to the next one. I can't escape anyway. If I really get locked in the instance, I'll just stay in the instance. Everyone will die eventually."

After hearing what Lu Yaoling said, Chu Qing stood there in a daze.

“…”

I wasn't comforted at all!

However, after talking to someone, her tense spirit relaxed a lot.

About a few dozen minutes ago, they were found by Jin Sheng and boarded the spare fishing boat according to his instructions.

Although Chu Qing expressed great opposition after the other party told them that 'the ship would explode and the mission would fail', it was of no avail. Just as Lu Yaoling said, the two of them looked old, weak and sick, and could not beat a well-prepared dog master.

In addition to the previous cooperation between the two parties, Chu Qinglu and Yao Ling agreed without much hesitation to help operate a boat so that they could salvage other players for a fee.

"What's in the water?" Lu Yaoling suddenly pointed at the side of the boat and asked.

Chu Qing walked over, leaned close to the railing and looked at the water.

"Shell? Octopus? Crab..."

She looked at the clothes floating under the boat and the various creatures moving among the clothes with a puzzled expression.

After hearing the huge explosion, they followed Jin Sheng's ship towards the Sea God's territory. Chu Qing could be sure that there was nothing in the sea water before, and these strange marine creatures had just emerged!

"How strange! Why are there so many clothes floating over here?" Chu Qing stared at the large number of marine creatures fleeing under the water, very puzzled.

On a fishing boat further ahead, Jin Sheng also saw marine life and clothes floating over.

At first he didn't know what was happening until he saw a marine creature changing - the fish uncle with a pair of lifeless fish eyes was turning into a real fish.

Its limbs degenerated rapidly, and in an instant, a giant fish as tall as a man broke through the clothes and crawled out!

The lower-class people on the boat were completely mutated after falling into the water and became marine creatures. However, it is not known what the proportion of the mutation was, and whether all the lower-class people were mutated.

“Woof woof!”

It was the first time that Xiaoyi saw this kind of operation where a person turns into a fish, and his eyes widened.

Jin Sheng held the steering wheel with both hands and sighed, "If you think it's too weird, you don't have to watch it."

"Woof! Woof!"

"...Then don't swear after you finish reading it." Jin Sheng was quite helpless. Since teaming up with Jiang Huaique, Xiaoyi has learned to swear, but he is the only one who can understand it.

As more and more clothes and strange marine creatures floated in, the fishing boat finally sailed out of the black fog and entered the realm of Poseidon.

Looking at the sinking giant ship from afar, listening to the loud explosion, Jin Sheng found a scoop net and life-saving equipment from the cabin.

"call out--"

A blue flare was launched into the sky.

Soon, Jiang Huai Que's green flares were also fired from the boat.

Green represents success.

Jin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, ran to the stern and greeted Chu Qinglu and Yao Ling on the boat behind, and asked the two to join him in driving the spare fishing boat next to the big ship.

The deafening explosion echoed throughout the cruise ship.

Unlike the peaceful life in Jinsheng, the deck where Jiang Huaiqie was located was extremely chaotic.

At Xu Zhiyan's request, Xavier called everyone to the deck to watch the ceremony. The ship was now blown to pieces, and the people on the deck were rolling into the water one after another like dumplings.

The low-ranking people who have served the Leviathan for years have long been completely eroded by the black fog.

The guests like to persecute the new humans who have just come on board, and those who have managed to escape at the beginning, such as the waiters who escorted the "ingredients", become accomplices after they are safe.

After following the ship for many years, their habits have changed and there is no possibility for them to turn back into humans. After falling into the water, they completely transformed and became strange marine creatures.

The new humans on board still retain their human appearance after falling into the water, and even if some of them occasionally mutate, they will all be eliminated.

The sickle hooked the railing, Jiang Huai Que twisted his body and exerted force, stepped on the tentacle of a giant starfish, turned over and jumped to a high place.

We have just negotiated with the players on the boat and charged them a fee. When the boat arrives soon, the players will be able to get on. But before that, everyone needs to find a way to avoid sinking.

Looking around, Jiang Huaiqie took out his gun and fired a signal flare at Jin Sheng to stop advancing.

There were not many innocent survivors. I don’t know if it was because of the cruise ship, but most of the people who fell into the water knew how to swim and almost all of them found floating objects, so there were very few casualties.

Compared to humans, the changes in the guests are more bizarre.

Those guys who were laughing wildly were not too panicked when they found that the boat had capsized. Instead, they burst into cheers again after seeing the mermaid fall into the water.

"God bless! God will bless everything!"

"We have offered the mermaid, and the sea god will forgive us!"

"As long as the sacrifices are sufficient..."

"The sea god will not be angry with mermaids!"

“…”

However, not long after, some of the guests began to behave abnormally.

“Ah—it hurts!”

"My legs, my legs..."

They suddenly fell to their knees, wailing.

The colorful fish tails burst through the fabric, and the guests turned back into mermaids. However, the fish tails could not adapt to the dry air, and blood kept flowing at the intersection of the waistline and the tail, and soon accumulated into a small pool.

Jiang Huaique was a little dazed.

He hadn't expected his guests to turn into mermen.

But then, an even more terrifying scene appeared.

The speed of time seems to be changing for the beautiful mermaids. They almost instantly go from their beautiful youth to middle age, and then in the blink of an eye, to old age.

“No…no…”

"what happened……"

"I'm getting old, no, I don't want to get old..."

"How could this happen? How could this happen!"

"Hasn't the sacrifice begun yet..."

"Unless the sacrifice fails... No, it's impossible! We are sacrificing a mermaid!"

The old mermaids screamed in terror.

The dazzling scales cracked and fell off, losing their luster; the plump body seemed to be drained of water and gradually shrank; the beautiful hair of various colors turned into dry white hair in the chaotic state of time acceleration...

Time devours the mermaid's flesh, blood and soul.

Amidst the howling of ghosts and wolves, Jiang Huai Que found Wei Le.

The guest, who was once as handsome as a sculpture, was hunched over a wooden box, completely devoid of energy.

After jumping a few steps to the other side, Jiang Huai Que half-crouched down, looked at the dying old man fish in front of him, frowned and asked: "Do you need some water? Or should I give you a quick death?"

As he spoke, he shook the sickle in his hand.

With the guests in such a state, the protection of the main system should have failed.

When Wei Le recognized Jiang Huai Que and was about to say hello, he was choked by the other party's kind suggestion.

"…Pour it, don't pour it?"

It shook its tail weakly and looked at the sea with indescribable affection: "We will die in the sea. The sea is our destination."

The deep and charming voice has become hoarse.

"As early as when this happened, I thought this day would come. The Sea God would no longer favor us."

"But it's fun to be a human. Human fishing techniques are much more interesting than mermaids!" When talking about his hobby, Wei Le became a little more energetic.

Jiang Huai Que looked at the dying old man fish without saying anything.

The other party is too calm.

Unlike other fanatical guests, Ville calmly accepted the coming of death.

"Hey, if you haven't done anything bad, why don't you ask your sea god if he can let you go?" Jiang Huaique frowned and spoke.

He was a little confused.

Since the mermaid who helped them has no interest in killing humans, why does she still attend the party every year?

Whether to go directly back to the sea and become a mermaid, or to go to land and live as a rich person, both are good choices.

After hearing this, Wei Le couldn't help but laugh.

"We are a tribe. No matter what happens, we all have to bear it together. I have never stopped sacrifices." It is the beneficiary of a long life and inherited human wealth, and it has also enjoyed many years of happiness with its tribe.

Speaking of this, a golden mermaid appeared in Wei Le's mind.

“He’s very good looking.”

"But he doesn't seem to be the lucky guy we are looking for."

"Except for luck..."

Its teeth began to fall out and its voice gradually became quieter.

"It is said that the lover of the sea god is also a mermaid..."

"…but the ritual…the ritual has begun…it will not stop…"

After saying the last few words, Weiluo closed his eyes and was silent again.

But its time goes on.

The old, wrinkled corpse began to rot, revealing the white bones inside. After a while, the fragile skeleton was blown away by the wind.

The sea breeze blew up the dust.

All the guests turned into ashes and merged into this sea forever.

As the water flooded up, Jiang Huai Que stood up, moved to a higher place, and looked at the sea with a solemn expression.

So his good teammate became the lover of the sea god, and that’s why he turned into a mermaid? But what does Willer’s last words mean?

Once the sacrifice begins, it cannot be stopped...

In the deep sea abyss.

Xu Zhiyan felt like he was about to be torn apart.

His consciousness was a little fuzzy, but he could still hear the voice of the sea god in his ears.

Xu Zhiyan barely opened his eyelids and was stunned by the scene before him.

After being unsealed, Poseidon took over the body again and the young boy Bai Jin was disappearing, not in the sense of consciousness, but in the physical sense.

There were two eyeballs squeezed in the boy's eye sockets.

One eye was filled with reluctance and attachment, while the other was filled with irritability and complex emotions.

"Damn, this body is too weak." Poseidon Bai Jin's tone was somewhat solemn.

The sacrifice began, but the sacrifice did not have enough luck, and He broke the seal with almost no effort.

I thought everything would be fine after the seal was removed.

But the fact is, once the sacrifice begins, it cannot be stopped... unless the victim dies.

Feeling that Bait had a lot to say to the mermaid in his arms, He was a little angry and shouted, "If you want him to die here, keep trying to rob him."

If Xu Zhiyan hadn't been so fond of this bait, he would have gotten rid of this annoying guy the moment the seal was lifted.

The pupils gradually faded, and after hearing these words, Master Bai's personality gave up the fight.

However, the body that was completely taken over by the Sea God dissipated even faster.

Seeing the Sea God and the little ATM spirit fighting for control right before his eyes, Xu Zhiyan endured the severe pain and cursed: "…What the hell are you doing?"

What greeted him was the kiss of the sea god Bai Jin.

The other took advantage of the physical presence and quickly kissed the mermaid on the cheek.

"I have no physical body. He is just a shackle that traps me. I can only be completely liberated after he disappears completely."

"But you can't wait that long. It will take at least ten minutes for him to disappear."

"And you already have no luck. The next sacrifice will draw from your lifespan. In less than three minutes, your remaining lifespan will be drained away."

He spoke very quickly, only making the key points clear.

After hearing this, Xu Zhiyan realized it belatedly and lowered his head to look at his fingers.

The originally white and round fingertips had indeed become wrinkled, like a shriveled orange peel.

He is getting old.

This realization made him feel terrified.

The Sea God wanted to comfort him, but found that his right hand had completely dissipated. He didn't waste any words and whispered in Xu Zhiyan's ear: "Don't be afraid, the time in the Sea God's domain is chaotic. After I die, the time here will stop."

Even if he is sealed, he is still the god of this world.

"The currents will cause chaos."

"I will find the right opportunity to die when your time returns to normal."

Maybe it was because of his old age, but Xu Zhiyan’s expression was a little dull. He felt like his brain wasn’t working and he couldn’t quite understand what the guy in front of him was saying.

However, the sea god trapped in the shell just looked at the mermaid who was gradually aging in front of him.

The Chaos Current came upon call.

Time becomes disordered at this moment.

The mermaid being trapped kept changing her appearance.

The eighty-year-old Xu Zhiyan, the twenty-three-year-old Xu Zhiyan, the sixteen-year-old Xu Zhiyan, the forty-year-old Xu Zhiyan...

Although he still maintained his fish tail state, his appearance was experiencing the turbulence of time and was constantly changing.

The sea god stretched out his only remaining left hand and gently stroked the other's cheek.

"I was initially affected by love and became confused for a long time, with only you in my mind."

At that time, the entire function of the ring fell on Him.

"But after clearing away all this love, I found that I still loved you, even though I didn't do as much for you as that bait."

He looked at the mermaid longingly.

"But I am sure of it."

"You will remember me."

When he heard the young master's confession and description of his muddled life, he almost laughed out loud.

Who isn’t? Who doesn’t spend their life in a state of confusion?

He always felt that something was wrong with this world, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. It was not until he met Xu Zhiyan that a sense of reality slowly filled his soul.

But He is the God of the Sea, He cannot say anything that would make him feel pitiful.

"Even if he gets this body back after I die, you will never forget me."

The sea god raised the corner of his mouth and smiled maliciously.

Since you lost at the starting point, you might as well just give up the game.

Just when Poseidon Bai Jin thought his plan was perfect, the golden-tailed mermaid, whose face kept changing, spoke.

"Can you take me to the bottom of the ocean in one minute?"

Xu Zhiyan gradually adapted to the turbulence of time.

However, facing the Poseidon's confession that was somewhat vindictive, he just felt a little overwhelmed. Now was not the time to talk about this.

He could feel the time turbulence draining his spirit, and he had to stop the turbulence as soon as possible.

"Um?"

After the passionate confession, Poseidon did not expect the other party to ask such an irrelevant question. He was a little angry and replied sullenly, "Okay."

Hearing the answer, Xu Zhiyan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

[Activate Skill-Absolute Safe Time]

[Countdown: 60, 59...]

The water flow stopped.

Everything stopped.

Within the absolutely safe time, all consumption on players will stop.

This is true for sacrifice and for time turbulence.

Seeing the half-disappeared Bai Jin standing there in a daze, Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but reach out and pat the other person on the head.

"Get down now! Don't waste time!"

"We only have one minute. I don't want you to die, and I don't want to die either."

He was not sure how old the person he was targeting was, but he would eventually return to the safe house, where Party A would be able to find a way.

Let the sea god use his own death in exchange for his life?

What a joke!

Didn't Xu Zhiyan go to so much trouble to complete the sacrifice and unlock the sea god just for a complete slice?

If this guy dies, wouldn't all his work be in vain?

I don't know if the words 'I don't want you to die' touched the nerves of Poseidon Bai Jin.

Xu Zhiyan felt that he was falling rapidly.

The water current wrapped around him and protected him from the water pressure, but he was sinking too fast and he subconsciously curled up.

“Right underneath the cruise ship.”

"Go find a door. We only have one minute. No, now we have forty seconds..."

As he spoke, he opened his eyes with difficulty and looked around.

It's dark.

This is already the deep sea.

On the panel, the absolute safety time is still counting down.

[Countdown: 38, 37, 36...]

Xu Zhiyan gave up after looking for a while. He couldn't see anything and could only hope that Poseidon would help him find the door to the safe house.

"This door may be in various forms. I don't know if you can sense it."

He tried to guide Slice to find the door.

But the other party just replied softly: "I know."

He always knew there was a door.

But that door frightened Him.

"The door will swallow me."

He smiled bitterly.

[Countdown: 21, 20, 19...]

Poseidon is afraid of a door, which is a little ridiculous to say: "I thought I would never touch that door until I die."

But for the mermaid in his arms, he had to come to that place that made him tremble.

[Countdown: 14, 13, 12...]

As the depth decreased, Xu Zhiyan saw the door.

It was a door that was embedded straight into the seabed and located in the center of the abyss.

As the distance got closer, the speed of descent slowed down. He felt the fear and resistance of Poseidon towards the door.

[Countdown: 7, 6...]

But Poseidon still did not stop.

[Countdown: 5, 4, 3...]

The moment he touched the door, Xu Zhiyan heard the other party's last loving words.

"So you'll remember me?"

[Countdown: 2, 1]

[Absolute safety time ends]

The door that had been silent for many years on the seabed opened.

Xu Zhiyan only felt that he was falling along with the water, and then fell into an embrace filled with the smell of ashes.

At the same time, all the players who were left in the copy received new notifications.

[It was detected that the player Xu Zhiyan opened the dungeon safe house. 】
