Chapter 93: The Pearl Princess Under Attack

It's a nice day with bright sunshine.

The sparkling sea surface reflects the blue sky and white clouds. The "Pearl Princess" cruise ship is sailing on a calm route, heading towards the United States on the other side of the ocean.

The sound of the flute is melodious, seagulls are flying across the sky, and the traces left by the cruise ship create ripples on the sea surface. Everything seems so beautiful.

Soran stood on the deck, looking at the endless sea, feeling extremely relaxed.

He is an American and was assigned by the company to work in Hokkaido, Japan half a year ago.

Sauron was originally interested in Japan. After working happily in Japan for half a year, something happened in Hokkaido.

The murderer who killed more than 180 people is on the run, the mysterious ancient evil god sacrificial ceremony, the advent of the demon king Kyogoku Qiong, the Sakura City Hand-Eye Demon King destroying the city...

All kinds of information reached Sauron's ears, which made him panic.

Although he was interested in Neon, it was because of cherry blossoms and anime, not because he had any thoughts about Neon as a country.

After learning that the danger level in Neon had risen to a level second only to several countries at war, Soran decided to buy a boat ticket to leave Neon and return to the United States without saying a word.

But what he never expected was that it is now very difficult to get a boat ticket back to the United States. Soran also used his connections and spent a lot of money to buy a boat ticket, hoping to return to his home in the United States as soon as possible.

“It’s all coming to an end.”

Thinking of this, Soran couldn't help but smile: "Neon...may never come back."

Very comfortable.

Soran slowly raised the beer in his hand and took a sip, seeming to be very satisfied with his move to leave Neon.

But before he could finish the beer, the entire Pearl Princess cruise ship suddenly shook.

The next moment, the entire sea surface began to become turbulent!

The originally calm sea surface suddenly surged with undercurrents, and the entire "Pearl Princess" began to shake violently. Soran was so scared that his face turned pale, his hands trembled, and the glass of beer instantly fell to the ground, spilling all over.

"Damn it, what's going on?!"

Soran cursed under his breath and prepared to quickly hide back in his room. He didn't know why the originally calm sea suddenly became turbulent.

"The ship is encountering an emergency storm. Please return to your rooms as soon as possible..."

The broadcast on the Pearl Princess cruise ship also quickly appeared, and the staff on the cruise ship quickly began to adjust everything. Many tourists who were originally sightseeing on the deck disappeared in an instant, leaving only a few people who did not react and were still on the deck.

This included Sauron.

The only difference was that Soran was not unable to react, but because he was too far away from the room.

Before Soran returned to the room, he heard a loud noise.

“BOOM——!!!”

A few moments after the sound was heard, the entire 'Pearl Princess' began to shake violently. Soran felt as if the whole world was spinning, and there seemed to be danger everywhere.

“Bang!”

A crisp sound was heard, and the entire deck began to tilt slightly to the left. Soran was horrified to find that a pink tentacle had appeared on the left deck at some point!

The suction cup of the pink tentacle was tightly sucking on the deck of the Pearl Princess cruise ship, as if it was going to drag the entire Pearl Princess into the water!

“Damn it!”

Soran's pupils suddenly shrank, but before he could say anything, the crew members took their guns and started shooting at the tentacles.

The crews of luxury cruise ships like the Pearl Princess are equipped with guns to prevent other situations from happening, such as pirates.

But they never dreamed that they would have to use guns to attack guys they didn't even know what they were.

The crew members were frantically reloading their ammunition, their eyes filled with fear: "Monster, let me teach you a lesson about the power of bullets!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Bullets shot out of the barrel wildly, flying towards the pink tentacle attached to the overtime.

The bullet tore through the pink tentacle's skin in an instant, further expanding the scope of the wound, causing massive damage to the tentacle in an instant, causing some transparent liquid to flow from the tentacle.

Seeing that the gun attack was effective, many crew members began to cheer, and the left tilt of the hull seemed to have improved.

“Crash!”

However, before they could be happy for long, the sound of splashing sea water was heard, and several identical pink tentacles suddenly stretched out from the bottom of the sea, and attached themselves to the deck of the Pearl Princess cruise ship, and began to drag the Pearl Princess, as if trying to use the hull to pull their torso out of the sea!

“Ahhhh!”

Soran hid in the table, chairs and benches on the deck, shivering all over. He occasionally stuck his head out to observe the situation, but quickly retracted it.

What happened to this world? Why has it become like this?!

Soran thought angrily, everything was calm one second ago, and became like this the next second.

It’s like this world. A few months ago, the world was still taking a technological approach, but now news of the revival of mythology is spreading everywhere.

“Boom!”

As the number of tentacles increased, the ship tilted to the left faster and faster, and many things began to fall into the sea. The crew members were terrified and could only keep shooting.

They had no other choice. Although their guns could cause damage to the tentacles, they were not enough to loosen the tentacles that were attached to the deck.

They don't have any large-scale weapons of mass destruction, and even if they do, they dare not use them.

If a big hole is blown in the hull, there will be no need for monsters to tow the "Pearl Princess".

At that time, the 'Pearl Princess' cruise ship will be transformed into the 'Pearl Princess' self-service meal, and all meals will be delivered to the monster's mouth.

"What should we do?!"

"Is there anyone who can save me!!!"

"I knew it was a wrong decision to come to Neon!"

There was a lot of wailing on the boat, and in this desperate situation, the sea monster that had been at the bottom of the sea also surfaced through its pink tentacles.

A huge red octopus emerged from the bottom of the sea, its pink tentacles tightly clinging to the deck, its eyes a deep blood red, and its torso flowing with a layer of body fluids with a strong fishy smell that looked extremely sticky.

There are also some unpleasant noises when rubbing against the hull of the 'Pearl Princess' luxury cruise ship.

"What...what kind of monster is this?!"
