Chapter 509: The Creeping Space of the Tower
The tattered pirate ship took advantage of the rolling waves and drifted towards them with its hull tilted, splashing a large curtain of water.
The "drowning crewman" grabbed the uneven wooden boards of the hull and laughed hoarsely at Germain and King, whose shoulders were already submerged in the water.
The toes of both of them could not touch the ground and they just kept paddling.
“Hehehe—hehehe—”
"German, do you understand what they are shouting?" Jin's old and dirty clothes were soaked and swollen, as if they were hiding soft balls.
"I don't understand the language," German replied, "but I can sense the general meaning of it."
"What are they talking about?"
"They said that we would drown here, become wandering ghosts, and become nutrients for this tower."
Jin laughed loudly, then slapped the water with his hands. He shot out from the water into the air, and with his hands he condensed a golden sword, which he spun and slashed towards the pirate ship.
"Let me see who is the drowned ghost here."
One of the "drowning crew members" saw him flying towards him and hurriedly swung the anchor in his hand like a discus!
Swah——
The wet iron anchor broke through the air, pulling with it the clanging chain. If it hit Jin, it would wrap around him like a python and drag him into the water.
Jin Linran was not afraid. He skillfully used the golden sword in his hand to collide with the iron anchor, causing a clanging sound and using the force to bounce to the side.
He lightly tapped the water again, and like a seabird skimming the water, he glided towards the pirate ship.
While Jin was battling with the "drowning crew member", Germain spread his silver wings, flew out of the water, and hovered in the air.
He vaguely saw the fat figure moving in the undercurrent, the upper body of the subhuman, the tail of the fish, and the scales that shone even under the water.
This is a mermaid, also known as a siren. Germann had seen many of them in the waters near the coastline of Lake Mobius.
This one is obviously the king of this species, and its size is extremely large.
"The Siren of Intoxication" is its title, which also reflects its ability. Its singing can make people intoxicated and crazy.
As it turned, its face, as ugly as a lantern fish, emerged from the water, and the forbidden song followed.
“La-la-la-la—”
Things became increasingly chaotic beneath the water surface, and soon numerous dark shadows appeared, some large, some small. They were of completely different races, and had died here, becoming water ghosts.
And now all these water ghosts, listening to the song and command of the "Intoxicated Siren", emerged from the dead silent bottom of the water, as if they saw a group of goldfish coming for bait.
From Germain's perspective, whether it is the "Intoxicated Siren", the "Drowning Crewman", or the water ghosts, they are indeed just "goldfish".
They are just like the monsters before them, such as "The Collector", "Invisible Flesh and Blood", "Pig God", "Lord of the Dead", "Prophet of Lies", etc. They have stepped on the trap without knowing it.
It seems that this deliberately created "Lake in the Tower" has become a favorable location for "Drowning Crew" and "Intoxicated Siren", but that also depends on the actual situation.
Without saying a word, Germain took out the "Deep Sea Badge".
As his strength grows, he is able to better utilize the abilities of the "Hunter Badge", "Grudge Badge", and "Deep Sea Badge" and advance further.
woohoo-
Under the control of the "Deep Sea Badge", cold ice vapor floated out like smoke, quickly occupying every corner here.
In an instant, the boiling lake water at the bottom of the tower calmed down so quickly, like a solidified transparent crystal embedded here.
The "drowning crew" who fought against Jin found that his dilapidated ship was frozen on the water and could not move.
Only the fat and ugly upper body of the "Intoxicated Siren" was exposed above the water, and the fish tail under the water was also frozen.
It kept twisting its upper body like a bighead carp trying to squeeze out of a can.
This was the case for the two large champion species, not to mention the water ghosts under the water. They were all frozen like mosquitoes and flies in amber.
Jin took the opportunity to take action, and a column of golden light poured down towards the immobile pirate ship.
The "drowning crew members" all shouted and screamed, and fled the ship one after another, but two of them were still chopped in half by the golden double swords.
The pirate ship also went from being in tatters to being completely broken and could no longer be used.
Just as Germain was about to attack the "Intoxicated Siren", he suddenly sensed something was wrong, so he looked up and saw cracks on the ceiling.
ka ka ka-
The disturbing noise quickly enveloped the entire bottom floor of the tower, and the next moment, the ceiling completely collapsed and shattered, with countless cracked stones falling.
bang bang bang-
The rocks hit the ice, creating holes in it, but failed to thaw the ice.
However, the red sphere that emerged from the ceiling did bring a slight turn for the current situation at the bottom of the tower, which was unfavorable to German and Jin.
The red ball was clearly the spherical residence on the middle floor of the tower that Germain and King had seen, but now it was moving like a living thing. A point on the sphere was bulging toward the ice surface at the bottom of the tower, and it kept bulging, bulging, and bulging again, as if there was a needle hidden inside.
Finally, when the sphere reached its endurance limit, it burst with a "pop" sound, and splashed out purple, sticky juice that fell like rain.
What emerged from the red egg was a monster so huge that it filled the entire space above the tower as soon as it appeared.
The numerous tentacles that stretched out from its swollen body hung down like a woman's wet long hair.
But what I saw when I looked up was a face that was enough to make most people panic and go insane at first sight. No human being would like this face.
It is dark purple all over, with many scarlet compound eyes on its head. There are other mouths on both sides of the big mouth in the middle, and all three mouths are filled with sharp fangs.
When it opens those mouths, sticky saliva drips from between its interlaced fangs, giving a very oppressive feeling.
"The freak limp has long since given up relying on its limbs to move. It spends all day huddled in the red egg of the tower, waiting for its prey to come to it like a tarantula."
"Roar--"
The "Monstrous Limp" let out a roar that echoed throughout the entire tower, causing ringing in everyone's ears.
At the same time, the entire tower shook violently, and an inexplicable feeling of dizziness came over them. Before German and King could figure out what was going on, the ice began to melt.
Click click click——
The ice shattered like a mirror, and the condensed water began to flow again, like a pair of giant hands stirring the lake water in the tower.
Germann confirmed that the "Deep Sea Badge" in his hand was still working, but the ice was still dissolved, which only proved that the "Monster Limp" was also working.
This is undoubtedly an "Apostle of God", and an "Apostle of God" whose strength is above that of the "Collector". He is already able to counter the ability used by Germain using the "Deep Sea Badge".
Germain looked around at the current situation.
"Monstrous Limp" was watching from above, while Jin was targeted by "Drowning Crewman" and "Intoxicated Siren" at the same time, attacking from both sides.
Not only that, the water ghosts that were previously frozen also became active, trying to launch an attack on Jin from the water, striving to drag Jin into the water.
In an instant, Jin went from having the upper hand just now to being in a miserable state under repeated siege. He could only barely resist the attacks of the monsters.
German immediately took out the "Grudge Badge" and released the two helpers, allowing them to lend a helping hand to Jin.
The remains of the "Red Snake of Jealousy" and the "Black Snake of Slander" suddenly appeared, and then plunged into the water, stirring up the water in the tower.
In a short while, the entire surface of the water was stained with the juice flowing from the water ghosts, becoming colorful as if it had been polluted.
Their targets were the "Drowning Crewman" and the "Intoxicated Siren", and they simply killed a wave of water ghosts as they swam by.
bang bang bang-
The two-headed snake-like remains quickly attacked the "Drowning Crewman" and the "Intoxicated Siren", throwing the latter under the water.
Jin also got a chance to catch his breath.
Germann no longer looked at the situation below, but raised the "Funeral Blade", which exploded in the air and shot towards the wall of the tower.
By smashing the tower wall and creating a hole for the rising water to pour out, the advantages of "Drowning Crewman" and "Intoxicated Siren" will be completely eliminated.
That's what he thought, and that's what he did.
Germann flew to the front of the stone wall and slashed at it without hesitation and at high speed.
laugh--
The stone wall was like tofu, easily chopped into pieces, revealing a huge narrow, spindle-shaped crack, but the water did not flow out of the crack as expected.
Outside the crack, there was a dark purple area with countless wonderful light spots flickering and flowing, which could easily trigger a seizure in any patient with photosensitive epilepsy.
The water did not flow out of the cracks at all. The dark purple light was like a solid wall, blocking it all.
Germann realized that the "Monstrous Limp" had instantly moved them and the entire tower to an independent space.
They will not be able to escape from this space until the "Monstrous Limp" is killed.
After thinking this through, German found it much more convenient as he didn't have to think about unnecessary things.
At this time, there was a sound of bursting wind from above.
He dodged without even looking, and it seemed like he was at his limit, but in fact he had seized the perfect moment and avoided several huge tentacles that were whipped down by the "Monstrous Limp".
With just a quick glance, German could see that the tentacles were covered with lamprey-like mouthparts that could suck blood from a person's bite.
There are sharp claws at the end of the tentacles, which are more than enough to penetrate the heart and abdomen.
In addition, the pus that flows out is likely to be poisonous.
This is the "Apostle of God" and "Legendary Creature" that Germain has to face.
