"how so……"
The murloc was swimming in the water. His innate talent allowed him to swim at high speed in the sea. If he had not been concerned about other dangers on the island and wanted to act with his teammates to be safer, he could have swam directly over.
But now, having encountered a terrifying monster, he couldn’t take care of his teammates anymore.
Sell out teammates decisively, this is the way for the fishman to survive.
He now just prayed that there were no other monsters in the sea.
Looking back, the merman saw that the hound actually jumped into the sea!
"Why is it so difficult!"
The murlocs had probably heard of this kind of creature before. Once they confirm their target, they will chase it down, kill it, and devour it even to the ends of the earth. Even time cannot stop them. It is for this reason that these creatures are named hounds.
The only way to escape being hunted, besides killing the hounds in reverse, is to place yourself in an open area.
However, the fishman thought this was a ridiculous method, because he had heard a rumor before that someone was targeted by a hound and ran to a plain to live in the open for several days, but the hound actually drilled out of his body.
Moreover, even if you can hide, it would be extremely painful to live under the shadow of being hunted by hounds for the rest of your life.
Fortunately, the murloc swims very fast. In comparison, the hound swims relatively slowly.
"I will immediately remove the seal and let the sealed god deal with the hound. I can return to my own world."
The merman came ashore and immediately ran towards the center of the temple.
He did not notice the strange and twisted buildings, nor did he realize that the towering obelisks actually presented angles that were impossible to exist in this world.
He had no mind to appreciate these temples that dated back to ancient times and still stood after tens of millions of years.
The fishman just wanted to run.
Standing at the edge of the temple, you can also see the huge door standing in the center. The heavy door seems to be made of bluestone, and has a heavy feeling like a mountain.
The fishman was running towards the door when he suddenly felt someone pulling him from behind.
He turned around quickly and threw a ball of seaweed from his arms.
The seaweed began to grow wildly in mid-air and turned into a huge, wriggling creature that was big enough to entangle a human.
Deep in the seaweed, you can see the ferocious mouthparts opening and closing.
"No one?"
The fishman saw nothing. He stopped and took out a dagger with gears and springs from his arms. He tried to dig some stones from the pillar beside him as materials, but soon, the fishman was surprised to find that the stones on the pillar were extremely hard and the dagger could not shake them at all.
"There's nothing I can do."
The merman turned the gear on the dagger, and the dagger vibrated rapidly. The merman took another look at the wriggling seaweed behind him and prepared to turn around and leave.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a strong push on his body, and he rushed forward rapidly and hit a blue-black stone pillar.
At least two bones were broken, he thought, and just as he got up, he saw a man appear in front of him.
He looked quite different from the murloc and his companions. The murloc had only seen similar creatures from foreign lands in the slave markets of his own world. In his perception, these creatures were symbols of backwardness and inferiority.
But the person in front of him didn't have that feeling at all.
He was much taller than the fishman, and although he had nothing in his hands, he showed an amazing sense of deterrence.
The skin, which was too pale for a merman, looked sickly. The man approached the merman and his fingers seemed to move.
Suddenly, an inexplicable melody sounded in the fishman's head.
"Good luck to you, I wish you good luck, good luck brings joy and love..."
"What's this……"
The fishman could not understand those sounds, and the melody sounded noisy and unpleasant to him, but he just couldn't make it go away.
He was frightened, surprised, scared, and tried to struggle.
Until the fishman saw that the horrifying beast, the hound that could travel through time and space to kill its targets, came from a distance, circled twice under the man's feet, and then, instead of swallowing the man as the fishman had imagined, it rubbed his trouser leg affectionately.
The fishman's worldview collapsed.
Is this the monster of [Alienation] difficulty?
This vicious hound, which easily killed two chosen ones in succession, actually bowed down to this man like a pet.
Then this man...
The fish-man had fallen into deadly despair, when suddenly, silver smoke flowed out from the man's mouth, eyes, nose, and ears, and condensed and formed around him, forming the appearance of another person.
“It feels pretty amazing.”
Lu Ban glanced at Feng Yu beside him.
Feng Yu was naturally wearing her original clothes. She did not answer Lu Ban's words, but came to the fishman whose mind was full of "Good Luck Comes" and raised her right hand.
After a pause, Feng Yu turned and looked at Lu Ban.
"Are you sure you want to watch it? It might be a little hard to take."
"Can this still scare me?"
Lu Ban didn't quite believe it.
Then, he saw Feng Yu's hand turned into silver smoke, which formed tentacle-like things and quickly drilled into the fishman's body.
The fishman rolled his eyes and began to twitch wildly.
Then, more silver tentacles stretched out from Feng Yu's body. In Lu Ban's [real vision], Feng Yu in front of him was no longer a human being, but a combination of flesh, blood and tentacles. Those tentacles stretched out from under her clothes, absorbing the brain of the fishman.
After a moment, Feng Yu suddenly opened his mouth.
The originally light pink lips turned into a huge mouthpart full of tentacles. Feng Yu's mouth opened to a degree that was much larger than her head. As the silver tentacles lifted the fishman up, Feng Yu slowly swallowed the guy into her mouth. When the mouthparts closed and all the tentacles were retracted, Feng Yu returned to human form.
Taking out a handkerchief to wipe the corner of his mouth, Feng Yu glanced at Lu Ban.
"I told you it might be hard to accept."
"Is it tasty?"
Lu Ban couldn't help but ask.
"Does the fishman taste more like fish or more like a human?"
“…Like seafood.”
Feng Yu hesitated for a moment before answering.
"By eating these creatures, I can gain some of their memories and knowledge. Of course, I will also bear the corresponding pollution, but it's lighter."
She raised her hand, and her originally fair skin was now covered with scales, like a cursed merman.
Come to think of it, the big mouth on Feng Yu’s chest might have appeared because he had swallowed a similar creature.
Now, the three chosen ones have been eliminated, and obviously, their mission should have failed.
But Lu Ban knew that their work was not over yet.
If you want to make this city sink, you have to completely destroy this scene.
"So...should we go down and take a look?"
Lu Ban pointed at the big door.
