Chapter 74 The gap between people is bigger than that between people and dogs
What?!
At this moment, the little Medusa in mid-air realized that she had just been bewitched by the singing. She woke up suddenly, instinctively vibrated her metal wings, spread out a hundred steps, and looked towards the sea in shock.
Through the diffused night, she suddenly saw a small hill quietly rising on the sea not far away, twisting and squirming wildly in the darkness.
No, not a hill!
Little Medusa opened her purple-red magic eyes as wide as she could, and through the faint starlight, she saw the true face of the thing.
This is a giant sea monster with six heads and twelve octopus-like tentacles!
The fleshy tentacles that attacked her from behind just now were one of the twelve octopus-like tentacles of this thing.
——The deep sea monster Scylla!
Calling out the name of the monster in her mind, little Medusa felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy and subconsciously became alert.
Scylla is one of the many children of Phorcys, the father of sea monsters. Legend has it that she once had the beautiful image of a sea nymph, but was cursed by Poseidon's wife, Amphitrite, the queen of the sea, and eventually turned into an ugly sea monster with six heads and twelve octopus-like tentacles.
From then on, she roamed the Strait of Messina, preying on passing ships and sailors, and left countless horrific legends in human city-states.
Of course, faced with this malignant tumor that blocks the waterway, there is no shortage of human heroes willing to fight it.
But they all failed without exception.
On the one hand, Scylla, fighting at sea, has an extraordinary home advantage.
On the other hand, as a famous child of Phorcys, the father of sea monsters, her strength is unquestionable and she is a top demigod.
When ordinary demigod heroes meet her, they don’t go to conquer her, but to deliver food to her!
Could it be that even this thing escaped from the deep sea?
Little Medusa couldn't help feeling a little scared when she thought of the thrilling scene just now. She looked with gratitude at the figure on the fortress who had given her a warning in advance and blocked the fatal blow for her.
At the same time, in the enchanting song, Lorne, who miraculously remained awake and pulled the rest of the people out of the bewitched state, pressed the bracelet on his hand that kept emitting a cool feeling, his eyes also filled with gratitude.
Praise Athena!
Fortunately, I got a piece of equipment that can resist mental interference from her before, otherwise it would be really fatal to face the Siren's song.
Especially - the ensemble of three top demigods!
Loen looked up at the sea, past the wriggling flesh mountain of the deep-sea monster Scylla, and looked quietly at the three graceful figures exuding a strong demigod aura in the beast tide.
Under the starlight, they were sitting quietly on the back of a giant whale, their chests covered by a string of white shells, their long hair scattered on their thin and shiny shoulders.
As your eyes continue to move downward, you can see three colorful fish tails immersed in the sea.
The upper body is a beautiful girl, and the lower body is a colorful fish tail...
It's the Siren sisters!
Luo En's eyes froze and his heart sank.
The original Sirens were the three daughters of the river god Ekroeus. They were beautiful fairies born from his blood, with human faces and bird bodies.
But because they lost the music competition to the Muses, they had their wings plucked out by the Muses, so they could no longer fly.
Afterwards, after losing their wings, the three Siren sisters had no choice but to cruise near the coastline, transforming into sea monsters with human bodies and fish tails. They used their musical talents to attract passing sailors, causing them to encounter a catastrophe.
In other words, there are two types of sirens.
The group of beings with human faces and bird bodies are mostly the degraded offspring derived from the bloodline of the three Siren sisters.
These three beautiful sirens with human bodies and fish tails are the original individuals who competed with the Muses and later had their wings taken away!
Each of them has the strength of a top demigod.
At the same time, the three Siren sisters on the sea found that their charming singing, which always worked, was not working, and their beautiful faces became hideous and gloomy.
“Laaaa——!”
Accompanied by a high-pitched and sharp singing, the waves on the sea surface surged violently, billions of tons of sea water swirled and gathered, forming a vortex with a diameter of hundreds of meters, sinking inwards, and then turning into a bottomless giant mouth.
Suddenly, hundreds of sea beasts around that were unable to dodge were swept into it.
“Crack!”
Accompanied by the teeth-grinding sounds of bones breaking and flesh tearing, they didn't even have time to wail before they turned into pools of flesh and blood mist and were swallowed whole by the vortex.
With the nourishment of blood, a faint burp came from the huge whirlpool on the sea.
Then, tons of dark sea water surged up and transformed into a woman's face.
The pitch-black vortex eye is her huge mouth, the remains of sea beasts are her teeth, and the surging sea water is her skin and flesh.
The human soldiers in the fortress looked at the protagonist of their bedtime horror stories, who had appeared before their eyes. They couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
——【Maelstrom】Charybdis!
She is the monster born from the union of Poseidon, the king of the sea, and Gaia, the goddess of the earth. She is always thirsty and hungry, and madly devours everything around her. Therefore, she was imprisoned in the Strait of Messina.
In order to fill his stomach, Charybdis, who had fallen into the body of a demon, swallowed a large amount of sea water every day, forming a huge whirlpool on the sea, eating all passing ships and lives.
She lives next to the deep-sea monster Scylla. The area where they live is almost a forbidden area for marine life, and the surrounding area is filled with piles of bones.
Its notorious reputation has been a nightmare for countless sailors and people who make a living on the sea since childhood.
Similarly, the reason why Charybdis, the Great Whirlpool, can survive until now and continue to stir up trouble is, on the one hand, because of the protection of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and on the other hand, because of her top demigod strength.
Looking at the five top demigod sirens that appeared one after another in the beast tide, the eldest prince who was in charge of the front-line command felt his heart pounding, and his back and palms were soaked with cold sweat.
As we all know, there are greater differences between people than between people and dogs.
This principle also applies to the group of demigods whose upper and lower limits are extremely exaggerated.
Some demigods are just accumulations of magical powers, and their divinity is mixed and impure.
Some demigods are invincible among the mortals, powerful enough to challenge the gods of Mount Olympus.
Although the eldest prince of Crete was not as good as his younger sister Princess Ariadne, he successfully ascended to the demigod level with his excellent bloodline and was a leader among the younger generation.
Unfortunately, the five on the opposite side were even more outrageous.
They are either the demonized and corrupted direct relatives of the main gods and ancient gods, or they are monsters that were cursed for daring to challenge the gods!
Groups of people came to try to defeat them, and the heroes who never returned were using their bloody lessons to verify a cruel fact.
——These monsters are no longer something that ordinary demigod heroes can contend with.
If you want to stop them, unless...
Just as the eldest prince subconsciously turned his head back, the [Great Whirlpool] Charybdis, which had swallowed up nearly a thousand sea beasts around it, finally got a brief satisfaction. The huge woman's face rose up, radiating with demonic divine will, summoning billions of tons of sea water to form a transparent torso.
Then, Charybdis, who transformed into the human form of water, looked at the white and tender little insects crowded on the fortress, a cruel and hideous smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly swung forward two arms that were tens of meters long and shaped like sea water.
Crash——!
In an instant, the dark sea surface surged violently, and rolling waves swept in, quickly flooding the devastated foreshore and violently washing towards the coastal fortress.
Dozens of defensive spells were destroyed in an instant, and the overwhelming water curtain came crushing down with the force of thunder!
For a moment, without the protection of the barrier, humans, who were weak and tiny in the face of divine power, turned pale and even lost the courage to resist or escape.
