Deep in the Living

Chapter 689 Facing the Crimson
Roddy remained hanging inside the cave for a full four hours.

It did not struggle at all and was very obedient.

The reason is simple: shortly after Pan Yang was turned into an umbilical cord, another monster in the cave, perhaps having just witnessed that indescribable scene, became panicked and anxious, wanting to take advantage of the moment when Pan Yang was chosen to escape.

result,

Once he began to struggle, the fibers in his body grew wildly until they all burrowed into his body, even completely invading his brain.

When the flesh fibers have completely invaded,

The monster's face split open from the middle, with tendrils of flesh floating between the cracks. Its body also underwent a drastic change, transforming into a enslaved creature of flesh and blood fibers.

The fiber itself is extremely dangerous, and even if Roddy manages to break free, he will inevitably be discovered by the other party.

The best approach is to wait.

To their surprise, four hours passed without any support from Whirlpool Town or any outside noise.

It's certain that the school teachers couldn't find this place or enter this cave... Another possibility is that Teacher Guo simply didn't realize they were "missing".

Just as Roddy was considering the worst-case scenario and preparing for a desperate last stand to escape,

A fiber monster with a split face and dislocated limbs crawled in, like another transformed being trying to break free but being invaded by fibers.

but,

When this Transformer came before Roddy, a change began to occur.

The distorted posture gradually returned to normal, the disordered limbs returned to their correct positions, and the cracked face also closed up.

Peel off a layer of makeup mask, and a young girl's face is revealed.

Her delicate pink lips whispered in his ear, "Don't move."

Wu Wen gently touched the flesh and fibers on Luo Di's body with her fingers, and these things began to gradually peel away, slowly giving up on Luo Di, their prey.

No action is required.
Roddy fell straight down.
Before they could even exchange words, Wu Wen pressed her index finger to Luo Di's mouth and then used those fleshy fibers to give him a simple makeup treatment.

Holding hands, we left the cave.

Just as Roddy had suspected, there were several separate caves outside used to store "prey." Yu Ze and Miss Song had also been rescued by Wu Wen and were currently hiding in the shadows, waiting for the two to arrive.

The team regrouped.

The rumored monster doesn't seem to be here right now, which is a perfect opportunity for them to escape.

The first escape plan that Roddy thought of was the [passage], and related holes appeared in his left palm.

Having experienced combat outside the region, he is now proficient in using it. Although it is not enough to create a passage directly to Vortex Town, it is still possible to escape from here.

"Don't!"

Just as he made this proposal,

However, it was jointly rejected by Wu Wen and Yu Ze.

Although the technology of extraterritorial channels is quite advanced, it has a high priority at the spatial level.

However, the spatial blockade of the fishing village is equally formidable. Just as the other side can disrupt Teacher Guo's vortex, it is also possible to block the transmission of the passage.

The key is,

If this extraterritorial technology is discovered by the other party, they are very likely to regard Roddy as a 'traitorous spy from the corner,' and the outcome will probably not be as simple as just being tied up.

The only way to escape at present is to leave on foot.

We made our way quietly through the damp cave, and soon came to the end, but instead of exiting, we found ourselves in the sea.

The area they were in turned out to be an underwater cave, and the only way to leave was by swimming.

Wu Wen had already started moving her fingers. As soon as everyone's bodies were immersed in seawater, the makeup would take effect immediately, turning everyone into fishermen.

When the time comes, all you need to do is blend in with the fishing queue, and you'll be able to return to the fishing village, or find an opportunity to swim directly out of the village's area.

The team members went into the water one after another, and after being touched by Wu Wen, they began to swell and emit a foul odor. After swimming for a while, no monsters attacked, and the disguise worked.

However, this underwater cave is deeper than expected, located in a deep-sea area where sunlight cannot reach. Judging from the water pressure, it is estimated to be about a kilometer deep.

Although it was completely dark visually, the team members could still use their other senses.

As Roddy swam out of the cave and was about to surface, his tongue tasted something.

This was an extremely strong, fishy, ​​and foul odor.
It smelled stronger than any other part of the fishing village, and it also carried a hint of death.

A very large creature died down there.

As the sense of taste spreads, an exaggerated picture appears in the mind.

"so big!"

A fish nearly a kilometer long, or more accurately, a mermaid, with a human-to-fish ratio of approximately 1:3.

Only the head and part of the body resemble a human, and even then, the skin is covered with fish scales.

Moreover, he is already dead.

Even though someone did a good job of "preserving" her appearance, her face was basically skeletal, with only a few strands of black hair still hanging on the top of her head.

The legendary monster lingered on the mermaid's belly, inserting the large umbilical cord it held. Visibly...

One by one, the crystal-clear fish eggs are released through the umbilical cord and float in the seawater, waiting to hatch.

There are more than one large umbilical cord like this, at least twenty or so inserted into it... Once a umbilical cord runs out of life and can no longer produce fish eggs, it will be pulled out by the monster.

"The missing monsters will be taken to caves, made into umbilical cords and attached to mermaids. Newborn fish will be born through the umbilical cords. The fish will be caught by fishermen, taken home to eat and sell, so that more monsters that come to the fishing village for refuge can come into contact with these fish."

The entire cycle, the entire fishing village, is serving one purpose.

This guy's goal isn't...

at this time,

The faceless man, who was "planting rice seedlings," suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned his head, and looked up at the empty face.

Ordinary fishermen wouldn't dive to this depth.

"Oops!"

Realizing they had been exposed, the team members each used their own methods to swim towards the surface of the sea as quickly as possible.

Strangely, the expected pursuit did not occur.

Water splashes,

Successfully landed ashore.

But the scene before them was rather strange. The fog that should have enveloped the fishing village had completely dissipated, and the fishermen who should have been fishing had all gone back to their houses and locked their doors.

The cliffside fishing village exudes a deathly silence.

at the same time,

The calm sea behind us suddenly began to stir.
The sea surface was like human skin, suddenly covered with tiny, densely packed bumps! Then the bumps burst open, and something grew out.

These are the things that were hidden in the thick fog when it descended earlier.

The reason they relied on the dense fog to conceal themselves was because they didn't want to expose too much, disrupt the normal life of the fishing village, or reveal their true form.

nowadays,
The removal of the fog indicates that the opponent's patience has been completely exhausted.

I don't want to play hide-and-seek anymore; I'm going to deal with these intruders directly.

Tens of thousands of fleshy fibers extended from the sea surface, all pointing towards the four people on the shore.

Whoosh!
In an instant, they all attacked!

It was like a hundred-meter-high wave of flesh and blood about to engulf all living things on the shore.

At this moment, Wu Wen took the initiative to step forward and, like a captain, gave her battle advice: "Give it your all, cut down as many of these fleshy creatures as possible, I have a way to keep us alive..."

While talking,
Her skin slipped off like a bathrobe, revealing her flawless, translucent, and delicate pink body.

Abdomen and navel

A vortex of flesh gradually formed, from which a bright red longsword grew.

Yu Ze waved his hand and scattered talismans, which rained down from the sky.

He held a copper coin sword in one hand, his figure hidden among the talismans.

Any flesh fibers that come close will be immediately burned by the talisman, cut by the copper coin, or dissolved by some strange force.

Even if it were truly possible to touch Yu Ze's true form,
A disheveled monster would suddenly appear and tear everything it touched to shreds; the completely monstrous Song Huiwen constantly lingered around.

At the same time,

As the blazing sun gradually rises, the high temperature will directly affect the sea surface and these fleshy fibers, causing the ambient temperature to surge.

Look carefully,

It wasn't the sun at all, but a hellish moon with lava flowing across its surface.

Roddy adopted the purest form of hell, intending to use the dryness and heat of hell to deal with this incredibly bizarre flesh and blood life before him.

Holding a black knife,

Each cut felt like shredding meat in a kitchen.

It was like the purest mass slaughter taking place deep in hell.

……

Deep in the sea,

Watching the flesh fibers being cut off and burned dry.

The faceless man was slightly surprised. He seemed to have not seen such a young man in a long time. The smooth face without features seemed to have some kind of substance wriggling inside.

He temporarily abandoned the giant mermaid and swam towards the surface of the sea.

The attack that has just been launched,
It was just a small lump of flesh he had peeled off from the surface of his skin...
