Chapter 129 Sudden Attack
At the same time, the sound of time reminder in the aquarium was heard.
After a piece of melodious music, a female voice with an announcer tone spoke softly.
"The Beiyuan City Aquarium reminds you that at 12 noon, there are meals available at various locations throughout the aquarium. You can choose to dine at the nearest restaurant. We will serve you wholeheartedly."
Li Muhan's forehead was covered with a trace of cold sweat at this moment. Now all the fish in the aquarium corridors on all sides were staring at him, and the stare of their dead fish eyes revealed an indescribable sense of weirdness.
This was the first time that Li Muhan felt that fish were such terrifying creatures.
The originally dark blue water tanks around now appeared to be a bottomless blue. The light from the aquarium shone through the water surface, reflecting the dead white bodies of the fish.
Li Muhan slowly stepped back, and the scary thing was that the eyes of the fish actually moved following Li Muhan's movements.
This made him feel a fear he had never felt before.
Snap——
Then, the sound of glass breaking made both of their hearts tighten.
"I think I've seen a bad movie before."
Li Muhan said as he pulled Xia Yue back slowly.
"It was like in an aquarium, and suddenly all the tanks burst, and the sharks inside came out and bit people crazily..."
“It’s really bad.”
Xia Yue echoed.
"...Can you bite a shark?"
Li Muhan asked.
Xia Yue rolled her eyes at him and said.
"These aren't real fish at all, get out of here."
Then it was Xia Yue who grabbed Li Muhan's wrist and ran back the way they came.
The moment they started running, all the aquariums in the passage behind them burst instantly, and the rushing water filled the passage almost instantly. What was even more creepy was that the water in these aquariums turned blood red.
Now a blood-red tide was roaring towards them from behind.
Li Muhan and Xia Yue opened the realm almost at the same time and ran forward. The school of fish behind them had already turned into some unknown monsters, following them closely along the bloody water.
At the door of the staff lounge in front, Sun Yan had already opened the door for the two of them and shouted at them.
"Hurry up!! Come in!"
Just when the two were about to be swept away by the water, Li Muhan's eyes suddenly burst into golden light.
He suddenly picked up Xia Yue, who had transformed into a vampire, and then his body turned into a flash of lightning and rushed into the lounge.
Sun Yan immediately closed the door, and the huge impact force made the door bang.
"What the hell is going on here... Didn't we check here before and find nothing unusual?"
After Li Muhan put Xia Yue down, the two of them did not release the boundary. Now it was time for war, and it was obvious that they had been attacked. They had to remain vigilant at all times when they didn't know who the other party was.
"There's only one possibility."
Mengmeng said with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.
"This isn't an aquarium at all, but some kind of alien property."
She is the most qualified person to make such an inference.
After all, the nightmare realm must be activated within one's own characteristics, which means dragging it into the dream.
And now, it is very likely that several of them are in a certain characteristic, and now, the owner of that characteristic has activated the power of the realm and launched an attack on them.
Just as several people were discussing, the room suddenly began to shake.
Then Li Muhan looked up and was almost scared.
I saw that the place where the ceiling was originally had begun to twist into some kind of fleshy thing. The walls of the entire lounge had turned bright red and were constantly shrinking and squeezing.
At this moment, a ball of sticky liquid suddenly fell from the ceiling onto the table in the lounge, and the table was soon corroded by the slime.
"What the hell! What the hell! So disgusting!"
Li Muhan was horrified. If he had not dodged quickly, he might have been the one who was corroded.
"This, this room is shrinking!"
Mengmeng shouted after looking around.
"Ouch! These sticky things are so disgusting!"
Jinwu was so scared that he pounced on Chiyuan, who then opened his own domain and used a barrier to protect the people gathered together.
Although the mucus could not destroy Chi Yuan's barrier after touching it, it could erode it bit by bit.
"This isn't just ordinary mucus...it's very corrosive."
Looking at his barrier being gradually eroded by the corrosive liquid, Chi Yuan also frowned.
Just as the room was shrinking and was about to force everyone into a desperate situation, Sun Yan suddenly pointed to the corner above his head and said.
"That! That place! That hole! Where the vent was just now! Attack there!"
The first one to react was Hati. She seemed to understand what Sun Yan meant. She raised her hand and activated the boundary. A gust of cold wind blew violently towards the hole at the top of the flesh wall.
As gusts of cold wind were continuously sucked into the hole, the contraction of the entire room suddenly stopped.
Then came violent tremors.
"What's going on! What happened again?!"
Li Muhan was completely confused and heard Hati shouting to everyone.
"Everyone, come closer! Miss Chi Yuan! Please strengthen the barrier to its maximum strength, just surround us!"
Chi Yuan nodded, and then the barrier began to shrink to a size that could just cover several people. Then a flame ignited on the periphery of the barrier, which meant that Chi Yuan had concentrated all his strength on the barrier.
Then everyone heard the roar of an unknown monster. The sound was deafening and made several people feel pain in their ears.
"Not yet! Keep going! Attack that hole!"
Sun Yan shouted.
Hati's eyes flashed with a dark green light, and then he suddenly raised his hand and the biting north wind blew towards the cave entrance.
The shaking of the room grew stronger and stronger, finally ending in a violent contraction.
Then everyone felt a huge thrust that blew everyone out like a ball along with the barrier. The barrier broke through the door of the lounge and rushed along the red tide of blood. Inside the barrier, several people were shaken dizzy, and finally the ball wrapped in the barrier finally rushed out of the aquarium door.
"It's out! It's finally out!"
Sun Yan danced with joy, but he noticed that everyone else had serious expressions on their faces.
"What's going on? You're so unhappy after finally escaping danger?"
Then he turned around and raised his head like everyone else.
I saw an extremely huge monster crouching where the aquarium was originally located.
The monster was as big as a mountain, with a strong body and a black and red body. It looked like a stone lion in stone sculptures.
“A-choo!!!——”
The monster sneezed suddenly, and the noise was earth-shaking. Fortunately, Chi Yuan's barrier was still effective, otherwise everyone would have been blown away by now.
"What the hell is this?!"
Li Muhan was almost scared silly.
The rest of the people, even Hati, stared at the monster with wide eyes. However, after sneezing, the monster seemed to have lost interest in everyone. It shook its huge head lazily and then actually lay on the ground.
At this time, Li Muhan asked tremblingly.
"Could it be that just now we were...inside its body?"
"That's probably it..."
Sun Yan also swallowed and said.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded behind them.
Turn around and look.
Five people of different shapes and wearing black cloaks appeared before them.
"Hehehe, you're truly worthy of being the outliers of the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau. You were swallowed by the incarnation of Taotie and managed to escape safely. I underestimated you."
The leading man laughed sinisterly. Even though they were wearing cloaks, Li Muhan and others could see that these men had strange and unusual figures.
Some are very tall, and some have arms so long that they drag on the ground.
There was another one with a green face and fangs, as creepy as a demon.
Sun Yan frowned and said.
"They are the Five Ghosts of Yuehuang City."
"Five ghosts? Are you talking about the five ghosts in the poem "Five Ghosts Bring Wealth"?
Li Muhan asked, and Sun Yan nodded.
"It might be a little different from what you've heard in novels. The origins of these five ghosts are extremely mysterious. Some say they are mountain gods, others say they are demons. But until now, no one knows the true origins of these five people."
"Yuehuang City...why don't I have any impression of this Special Management Bureau?"
Chi Yuan looked at Jin Wu, and Jin Wu also shook his head.
"We've never encountered them before!"
Sun Yan smiled bitterly and sighed.
"Because all previous competitions had a restriction, this restriction was almost fatal to Yuehuang City."
After hearing Sun Yan's words, the slender man among the five ghosts laughed strangely again and then said.
"As expected of a champion, you understand us, little people, so well. That's right, every previous exchange conference had an unbreakable restriction: no magical weapons above the Cholera level could be brought in. But this time is different. The Beiyuan City exchange conference has no restrictions at all! So, this time, the champions must be us!"
