With the hang-up...

With the help of powerful tools, the project of passing through the anemone wall became much easier than expected.

It's like forcibly clearing a path through an extremely dense cornfield.

Millions of sea anemones floated there like overcooked noodles, swimming freely ahead, calmly using "Bob's Treasure" to pry open the unconscious tissues.

"Or, we might as well just hide inside a sea anemone..."

The two finally managed to squeeze out and huddled behind a piece of dead coral, looking around.

The sacrificial tower stood on a raised patch of open ground on the seabed, but seahorse cavalrymen roamed back and forth above it, and there was nowhere to hide nearby.

"No way! I'd rather die than spend a night in those sticky noodles!"

Klaus wore a mask of pain.

To stay away from the anemone wall, their eyes, like searchlights, scanned back and forth for any gaps in the defense network.

"Boss, look there!"

Heaven rewards those who persevere.

To the right of the tower, there appears to be a natural fissure hidden in the shadows, which looks narrow and deep.

It's an excellent ambush point!

"Walk."

Under the cover of shadow, the two of them slipped into the crevice along the seabed without any major incident.

Perhaps it's because it's close to a volcano.

The water temperature here is high, the light is completely blocked by the rock walls, and the water flow is very slow, giving people a drowsy and stuffy feeling.

Klaus used all eight legs to cling to the rock face and shuffle down.

In the darkness, his other senses were amplified, and he nervously gripped Xiao Jiu tightly in his hand.

"Take it easy! You've got me hooked!"

Xiao Jiu suddenly transformed into a long strip and squeezed out, angrily giving him two slaps.

But the engineers didn't have time to deal with it.

His voice trembled slightly as he rubbed his tentacles against the rock wall.

"This wall... why is it soft...?"

"It's hot here, so seaweed or some kind of bacteria probably grew there, which is normal."

An arbitrary sound came from the dark rock wall on the other side.

"Find a flat spot to rest."

The two fish swam down several dozen meters, and the space became more and more spacious. The gaps above their heads almost disappeared, like a natural bunker, which made them feel very safe.

"Looks like we've reached the bottom?"

Below the gap was a dead end, but there was a depression just big enough for two people to hide in.

They had just found a place to stay.

Klaus, in his habit of wanting to keep things clean, took out a small shovel and began scraping the rock wall beside him with all his might.

"Chirp~~~"

A faint cry echoed through the water, so low that it caused ripples to spread across the surrounding water.

"?"

Turning your head arbitrarily, the culprit of the death stare:

Did you fart?

"No!!!" Klaus, shovel in hand, had forgotten all about being angry; his voice was trembling. "I... just now... the wall shook..."

It was clearly moss when he touched it just now!

He slowly gripped the knife handle, and gently ran his left hand over the spot where Klaus had just scraped him.

It's warm, a bit rough... and still fluctuating rhythmically!

Thump, thump, thump...

[Lv8 Abyss - Black Ring (Elite)]

[Review: A counterfeit from the deep sea—surprising, isn't it? The High Priest's personal vehicle is actually a high-quality replica... But who exactly is it copied from? So hard to guess! PS: Please verify this yourself; calling that hotline from underwater won't help!]

The bright light from the panel between them made their faces appear deathly blue.

"that......"

"Shut up," Renyi interrupted him gently.

Hit the jackpot!

This is a genuine Rolls-Royce Black Ring private garage!

It seems like they just crawled into someone's bed...

It's the kind that's pressed against the armpit!

Klaus is going crazy.

...So what he touched just now wasn't seaweed, it was all mud and grime that this big guy hadn't washed for hundreds of years!

"I want to go out..."

He protested in a breathy voice, "I'm going to throw up."

"We can't get out."

He pointed helplessly to the way he had come.

Because of Klaus's shovel strike, Black Ring probably adjusted its sleeping position; the gap on top has completely disappeared, as if it has been sealed off.

Since we're already here, let's just make the best of it, as long as it doesn't wake up.

"Bear with it for one night."

With his strong mental fortitude, Ren Yi comfortably sat down next to that warm, fatty lump of meat. "Take it easy. It's a free hot water bottle and also helps prevent being detected."

While Klaus was still engaged in a fierce internal struggle,

No one noticed that Little Nine, with her beady eyes fixed on the surrounding walls, let out a tiny "pop~"

It was too late when they found out—

A large chunk of flesh had suddenly appeared missing from the wall...

Xiao Jiu smacked her lips:

"It's alright~ a bit dry, not very flavorful..."

The water flow stopped for about two seconds.

Under the watchful eyes of the two bipedal creatures, the gray rock wall slowly undulated, and the moss and hard crust on it rustled off.

"Why are you biting it, you little devil!"

Klaus frantically grabbed Xiao Jiu.

But it was clearly too late!

This elite monster has quite a temper when it wakes up. Although it can't even let out a decent roar, its pure physical suppression is enough to give them a hard time!

A viscous fluid is secreted from its skin.

The water temperature rose rapidly.

With nowhere to retreat behind them, the two were unable to effectively use their longswords and Newton's weapon in the confined space.

The tentacle behind the black ring curled up.

"Don't kill him!"

He slipped out in a flash. "If it dies, what kind of entrance will the High Priest have tomorrow?"

Wouldn't that be like alerting the enemy?

Klaus, reacting a beat too slow, yelled and was lifted into the air, helplessly being swung back and forth.

"Boss!"

"I'm practically worn out from all this polishing, who cares how I'm going to make an appearance tomorrow? Help—help—!"

"..."

Then I'm sorry.

He randomly brandished "Bob's Treasure" and showered Black Ring with electricity like it was free.

certainly......

He was already being very careful about the electrical contacts at the tips of his hands, trying to keep them as far away from Klaus as possible.

For a time,

Blue light flashed wildly, and there was a crackling sound everywhere.

Klaus seemed to be the one who was more upset. After all, the Black Ring was a level 8 elite monster, and the electric current that would have been ineffective against ordinary mermaids only made it more frenzied.

Instead of collapsing from shock, it took advantage of its size and planned to squeeze Renyi into a mural!

The rock face was rubble scattered everywhere from being scraped.

The space available for swimming has been further compressed.

It seems there's no way to control this giant without taking damage... With a flick of his tail, he used the tentacles on the black rings to propel himself upwards.

A flash of eerie green light,

[Raven] transformed into a long blade, and based on the feel of previously sculpting Xiao Jiu, the tip of the blade sliced ​​along the subcutaneous tissue—

He was looking for one of the 'brains' hidden in the tentacles.

Black Ring realized the danger posed by the mermaid, and the vents on its skin opened, continuously spewing out highly toxic mucus at near-boiling point.

"Drink more hot water?"

With lightning speed, Renyi rushed toward the black ring's open mouth, pulled out a bag of exploding melons, and prepared to feed it some "local specialties."

It was at this time,

A tiny, grayish-brown creature slipped inside first.

"Little Nine!"

Klaus, with his sharp eyes, transformed into Newton and prepared to rescue the mascot.

"Wait...let it eat!"
