AWITTGABAGIWOBAFOAP Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Ground Illusion (10) Deadly Crisis, Surrounded by Wolves, Feeding Tigers…

Waking up from a nightmare of near-death, Song Ningwan stared at Xie Xiaoyu without saying a word.

A sad past was engraved on his heart as if he had experienced it himself.

Xie Xiaoyu lowered his eyes to the ground, his fingertips slightly curled.

In Song Ningwan’s view, this feeling was unlike sadness or anger, making it impossible to understand or empathize with.

“You saw everything…” Xie Xiaoyu moved his lips, without the extra strength to say anything more.

A faint sense of sadness arose in the air.

This made Iris and Prun curious, but after all, it was someone else’s business, and they weren’t interested in meddling.

“Forget it, let’s go to the seabed to find the Siren Pearl first.” Song Ningwan stood up and walked towards the calm Black Sea.

Staring at the sea for a long time caused a strong sense of dizziness to hit his brain directly. “Aren’t you trapped by the illusion?”

Iris picked up a pebble and threw it towards the center of the Black Sea. “This place is strange. Landis is unexplored by humans, a purified source of pollution. We might accidentally be completely wiped out.” The sound was muffled after being filtered through the helmet.

With a bang, the pebble didn’t sink into the sea, but instead seemed to hit a piece of hard ice, rolling a few times and stopping on the surface of the sea.

“Land, what’s wrong?!” Iris frowned and instinctively caught Prun, who was about to faint, holding the girl in her arms.

“Land?” There was no answer to the calls.

Iris shook Prun, only to see that the girl seemed to have lost all her strength, her wrist drooping down.

Iris no longer bothered to hide her identity and directly took off her gas mask, revealing a face covered in blood, which looked terrifying and bizarre.

Iris wiped away the bloodstains with a cloth, and it could be roughly seen that she was a beautiful girl, her cheeks delicate and beautiful but too fragile.

Song Ningwan noticed the movement and, seeing this scene, was slightly taken aback. “What’s wrong with her?”

Iris didn’t speak, and quickly took out a syringe filled with red liquid from her satchel, stabbing it into Prun’s neck. Her movements were very skilled.

“Land, how is it?” Seeing the eyeballs under Prun’s eyelids moving, Iris finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Prun seemed to be trapped in a heavy nightmare, suppressed and unable to wake up. She still didn’t give up, struggling hard, like tenacious weeds.

“Land?” Iris said.

“!” Prun instantly opened her eyes, hearing the concerned words in her ear. She hesitated for a moment and suddenly sat up.

“Land…” Iris stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Prun’s eyes. The girl’s eyes were cloudy, as if she hadn’t fully woken up.

“Now that she’s awake, let’s go.”

Hearing Xie Xiaoyu say this, Song Ningwan didn’t refute it, but was thinking.

“Our goal is the Siren Pearl. If we waste any more time, we’ll lose everything we’ve gained.” Xie Xiaoyu said seriously, looking at the vast sea.

“Something’s not right.” Song Ningwan felt countless chilling gazes coming from all directions. A chill crawled up his spine, making him sweat cold.

“There’s something on the surface of the sea…”

After Song Ningwan finished speaking, everyone’s hearts were in their throats, and they all stared at the sea shrouded in black mist. They saw that the mist was getting thicker and thicker, and moving extremely fast, trying to devour the shore.

“That mist is poisonous! We need to run back!” Xie Xiaoyu exclaimed.

Iris quickly put the helmet on Prun and held her in her arms. When she was about to return the way they came, she was burned by the heat rising from the death swamp. “Wait! The death swamp is boiling…”

The front was a dead end, and the back was an adversity. There was simply no way to retreat.

Seeing the soil corroded by the black mist turn pitch black, the pungent sour smell made them feel physically uncomfortable.

“Mist…” Prun said weakly.

“Land, what did you say?” Iris lowered her head and tried to get close to Prun’s lips. The sound transmission effect was very poor due to the helmet, and she could vaguely hear a few words.

“Mist, monster…” Iris muttered, looking at the black mist, confused.

Song Ningwan also heard it. The group stared closely at the movement in the mist. They saw a black shadow as high as several meters slowly moving out, its lower body thin and long, dragging a long way behind it.

“Pollutant, a mutation we haven’t seen before.” Iris said calmly, taking out the gun stuck in her waist and firing a few shots at the black shadow!

The bullets didn’t penetrate the black shadow, but instead made a sizzling sound, creating golden sparks, and were finally bounced off.

“Scan.” Xie Xiaoyu, remembering the bracelet on his wrist, hurriedly activated it to scan the black shadow.

The green light aimed at the mist, and at this moment, everyone finally saw the monster’s appearance.

That thin and long thing turned out to be a half-cut, withered fish tail, as if the blood had been drained, leaving only fish bones wrapped in a layer of fish skin. Scratches revealed the bones, which were covered with dense pustules, flowing with a blood-white liquid, which mixed together and smelled fishy and foul.

The bones of the torso were twisted in an extremely strange arc, the waist twisted into a braid. Looking up, the surface of the chest cavity bulged, swelling up like a balloon, and you could clearly see strands of blood vessels.

The fish head was pale and colorless, and the ear fins drooped down, as if they had been broken off. The most bizarre thing was that the eyeballs were connected to the flesh and hung under the eye sockets, and the eyeballs moved forward, shaking randomly.

“Pollution index… over the limit!!! Please leave the dangerous area quickly.” The bracelet couldn’t withstand the pollution pressure and emitted a beeping alarm. Xie Xiaoyu immediately took off the bracelet and threw it out. Sure enough, with a bang, the bracelet immediately exploded, alarming the mutated fish species.

It began to gesticulate and attack the group, opening its huge mouth, with spiral fangs filling the entire oral cavity, looking extremely terrifying, triggering trypophobia.

Iris directly threw the gun away, but instead was bitten to pieces by the monster, whose bite force was shockingly powerful, and swallowed it.

“Scatter!” Seeing that this method didn’t work, Iris shouted loudly.

The fish-man took advantage of the force to jump up and open its mouth to attack Song Ningwan. The twisted waist seemed to hinder its movement, and it couldn’t turn. Song Ningwan moved one step to the right in time, dodging the fish-man’s attack without any danger.

The fish-man ate a mouthful of soil, filled with resentment, and quickly stood up and shook its tail. The withered tail looked weak, but it was actually sharp enough to cut iron like mud.

Just as it was about to hit Song Ningwan’s waist, Xie Xiaoyu flashed past and subconsciously put his arm on top of his head to block it. As a result, with a snap, his entire arm was cut off and fell to the side. He was in so much pain that he was sweating cold…

Blood couldn’t stop flowing down. Xie Xiaoyu didn’t have anything to bandage the wound, so he could only let the stump be polluted, growing pimple-like pustules.

“Xie Xiaoyu!” Song Ningwan called out, but the fish-man was stimulated by the blood, its tail trembled, and it aroused an even stronger desire for destruction and killing.

It began to attack randomly, without a target, spitting out transparent saliva at Iris.

Holding Prun, her dodging movements slowed down. Iris supported herself on the ground with one hand, and a neat somersault still caused her calf to be Dip it.

Hiss, a heart-wrenching pain came from her leg. Iris looked down and saw that the corrosive liquid had already dissolved her protective suit and burned her skin.

Before the battle even started, three people were injured…

Based on the fish-man’s movement speed and attack method, Song Ningwan realized that this creature had a weakness: it couldn’t see or hear.

It seemed to rely on some kind of perception and external stimuli to carry out instinctive attacks.

Only by not making sounds or smells…

Song Ningwan’s gaze swept over everyone. First of all, Xie Xiaoyu’s wound was the most serious, and his body had already been significantly infected.

The second was Prun, who was delirious, and Iris, who had suffered a minor injury.

In front of them, fish-men were suddenly attacking from the Black Sea. Behind them, the death swamp was boiling at a critical moment for some unknown reason, bubbling and steaming.

All of this seemed to have been deliberately done by someone.

However, Iris also realized this. Without making any sound, she looked at Song Ningwan. She seemed to know what to do.

Iris carefully handed Prun to Song Ningwan, and at this moment, she quietly took off her helmet and protective suit.

Revealing those soul-stirring peach blossom eyes, she was full of charm when she blinked. She had a high ponytail and was so heroic.

Iris had a slender figure and a light posture. This was why she could leap into the air and step on the Chudui to place the animal traps.

“Big fat fish, look at me.” Iris shouted loudly and kicked the fish head to the ground.

This mutated creature was disgusting, especially the two eyeballs hanging under the eye sockets. Just now they had been kicked out. The fish-man roared helplessly, reaching out its webbed fingers to slap Iris.

Iris retreated to avoid the fatal blow, attacking the fish-man as much as possible to let it know her position and launch a fierce attack.

“Yes, that’s it, come…”

Until she retreated to the point where there was no way to retreat, one more step back and she would be submerged by the boiling death swamp.

The fish-man seemed to have no sense of pain. Even if its body was covered in wounds, it would still attack instinctively. It didn’t know that the death swamp was in front of it, but it determined that Iris was in front of it through induction.

This time, the fish-man used all its strength, using its fish tail to fly out, reaching out its sharp claws to grab Iris’s head.

Just a little bit… and she would be torn into pieces.

The fish-man smiled strangely. At this time, Iris also smiled. When the two figures crossed, Iris used the power of the shore to jump above the death swamp. The steaming heat baked her skin, but she landed on the Chudui as if she didn’t feel any pain. Without time to stop, she stepped on the next one while the Chudui collapsed, and so on.

But the fish-man couldn’t see it. When it felt the heat, it was too late.

With a plop!

It fell into the death swamp, slapping the mud with force, but it was useless.

The faster the fish-man struggled, the deeper it sank, and soon it was steamed by the heat, the swamp covering its head.

Glug glug…

Bubbles rose up, and with a swish, only the five claws of the white bones stretched out from the swamp.

As if asking for help.

Song Ningwan watched helplessly as the white bones were also corroded into Slag, and couldn’t help but feel a chill flowing through his organs. What made him even more be terrified was that Prun suddenly regained her sanity and said in his ear, “Who are you?”

!

Song Ningwan didn’t speak, put Prun on the ground, and turned his head to find that Xie Xiaoyu was gone!

What’s going on?!

“Xie Xiaoyu?” Song Ningwan called out, but there was no answer.

The clouds in the Black Sea swirled and surged. Hearing a sound of footsteps, Song Ningwan thought that Xie Xiaoyu had run into the clouds, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

That wasn’t the footsteps of one person at all, but the sound of thousands of people, messy and chaotic.

Like countless reptiles grinding the ground with their rough tails, crunching…

Song Ningwan tried to use his Connect Spirit to observe, and even he, who was usually calm in the face of danger, couldn’t help but take half a step back!

It’s over!!!
