Quenched long order

Chapter 149 Deep Sea
The two were left alone, and one of them drowned.

Shaoer didn't even want to find an excuse. Obviously, in the face of "facts", any excuse is useless, let alone the statue of the King of the Black Domain.

He looked at the fisherman's face floating below the surface, and a thought popped into his mind.

Due to the effect of concentrated air, he can hold his breath for a long time. If he floats below the surface of the water like the fisherman, he may be able to hide temporarily, otherwise...he may need to consider how to deal with all witnesses .

After thinking twice, he decided to give it a try.

He took a deep breath, felt the air flowing in his body, turned over into the water with a very small movement, and just fell into the water, he felt that there seemed to be an indescribable force pulling him down under the water, this force was very weak , can really exist.

He did not resist for the time being, but adjusted his posture so that the seawater slowly submerged his body.

When the sea water flooded his mouth and nose, the whole world seemed to be cut off in an instant. At this moment, he felt extremely peaceful, and... an indescribable sense of loneliness. Although he was in this world, he seemed to be surrounded by someone. Layers of film separate the same.

He waited silently, but did not hear any suspicious sounds, but the result of air perception was that a ship was approaching, but he did not sense any breathing.

An ominous premonition gradually rose.

He adjusted his posture and looked around, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

Originally, the surrounding area was almost completely covered with sea water, except for the dead fisherman, there would be no other corpses, but now, everything has changed, and the surrounding area is full of fisherman’s corpses, all of which are quietly floating in the sea water, as peaceful as death. .

Seeing the corpses of the fisherman gradually gathering, Saul quickly climbed up from the edge of the fishing boat. After he got up, he took a big breath, then coughed twice, spitting out the seawater he accidentally drank.

He stood up and looked around. The stiff corpses of the fishermen were clinging tightly to the fishing boat, one after another. The pale faces of these fishermen were lifeless, slightly swollen, and their eyeballs seemed to burst out of their sockets.

"what happened……"

Just now, he didn't do anything. At this moment, he recalled the scene he saw before he went into the sea. There seemed to be no fisherman on the fishing boats that were gradually approaching.

An idea popped into his mind.

These fishermen seemed to have died before they came here, maybe even earlier.

Saul looked around vigilantly, he felt as if he was alone in a sea of ​​corpses, those empty fishing boats, instead of bringing him some peace, blocked his sight.

The air perception ability, at close range and reduced to one person, can judge the position even if the other party is not breathing, but when the range is expanded, the effect is not satisfactory.

He always felt that something XZ was waiting behind the fishing boat.

The moment he waited for his spirit to relax, he flew out from the dormant blind spot and put him to death.

Heartbeat, unknowingly accelerated.

Saul's knees were slightly bent, and his hands slowly opened.

Suddenly, the fishing boat under his feet began to shake, and then, a huge force came and knocked the fishing boat over.

When is...

Surprised, Sauer hurriedly ran towards the nearest fishing boat, but it was too late.

An overturned fishing boat will act like a cover, pushing Sauergay below the water.

He fell into the sea water, and the cold sea water rushed over in an instant, as if it was about to penetrate into his body through every pore.

Underwater... something.

Is it these dead bodies or... something else?
Sauer hurriedly guarded left and right. After coming underwater, the effect of air perception was greatly reduced. The air content underwater only allowed him to use his ability, but that was all.

The underwater is so quiet that it seems that even the beating of the heart can be heard clearly.

He hurriedly moved away from under the overturned fishing boat, but there was no improvement. The other positions were also full of floating corpses and fishing boats. On the entire sea surface, only faint light could penetrate the water surface, providing him with a small amount of illumination.

Although he still doesn't know where the threat lies, Saul knows that fighting underwater is very bad for him, and he must return to the surface immediately.

He headed upstream towards the nearest sea surface, and gradually approached the fisherman's corpse floating on the sea surface.

When he came to the edge of the corpse, he stretched out his hand to push the corpse away. At this moment, the stiff corpse seemed to be filled with lead, and he had to push it with full force to be able to push it obviously. He originally wanted to keep one hand to prevent sneak attack, but now It is no longer possible to save effort.

He pushed the corpses with both hands, almost with all his strength, and finally pushed the two fisherman corpses away.

The sun instantly became brighter.

Without hesitation, he immediately poked his head out of the sea, took a deep breath, and at the same time changed the position of his hands to support one of the corpses. Just as he was about to climb up, something caught him underwater. With great strength, he pulled him down, trying to pull the escapee back below the surface of the sea.

A cold feeling spread from the ankle, mixed with a slight burning sensation.

Sauer felt his feet become dull, no, the whole body began to become dull, at this moment, the left hand was still a relatively agile part.

He held onto the body floating under the water with both hands, preventing himself from being pulled back.

The pale face of the dead fisherman began to shake as he struggled with the unknown underwater things, and his unwilling eyes seemed to swing from side to side.

Sauer always felt that the fisherman would become an accomplice of the underwater things in the next second.

The two sides are deadlocked.

Saul took this opportunity to charge up the wind blade, and after it was enough, he shot it underwater.

The wind blade seemed to hit something, and the cold feeling from the ankle disappeared quickly, but at the same time, there was a pain, and there was a feeling of liquid flowing from the ankle.

He glanced back, blood, spreading underwater.

At the same time, he also saw a shadow moving under the water. Due to the occlusion of the blood and the angle of the light, it was difficult to see the real face. He could only see a vague outline. It was a human shape, but definitely not a human being.

The wind blade drove away the unknown things, but it also hurt himself. He had considered this point and couldn't delay it any longer.

He immediately climbed up, stood on the fisherman's body, and quickly crawled to the fishing boat that was not overturned. When he got on the fishing boat, he looked down at the wound. It was not serious, although it was shocking at first glance. But it was only the visual effect of the superficial flesh and blood hanging on the ankle, and the injury was not serious in fact.

The ointment he took out from Bury before worked. He immediately took it out of his backpack and applied it quickly. During this period, he still paid some attention to his surroundings and below the surface of the sea.

"No accident, he should want to drag me under the surface of the sea and drown."

The cold feeling from the ankle just now came to mind.

"These fishermen, did they die at the hands of that thing? But...it was too fast."

Shaoer didn't know what it was, but he knew one thing very well, that is, he must not deal with the opponent underwater, otherwise, he might not be able to climb up from the sea next time.

Suddenly, he thought of something and took out the third hand from the backpack.

Although the third hand is not fully charged now, he does not intend to "use" the third hand, but just holds it in his hand, using the image of the third hand to deceive the opponent.

He grabbed the third hand with his left hand, stretched it below the surface of the sea, and shook it from side to side, while aiming his right hand below the surface of the sea, the air cannon began to charge.

As the black shadow approached, the moment the third hand was caught, the air cannon was launched, and a majestic force penetrated the sea surface, hitting the bottom, and the loud noise continued to spread, causing a wave of ripples.

The pulling force from the other end of the third hand disappeared instantly.

Saul withdrew his third hand, took this opportunity, quickly poked his head below the surface of the sea, looked around, but found nothing, the attack just now seemed to be in vain.

Suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be some metal object in the corner of his eye, and he quickly stretched out his right hand to grab the metal object.

He returned to the boat and put the metal object in front of his eyes. It was a simple round pendant with a cross drawn in the middle. It was gray-black in color. It was very ordinary as a whole and did not show any abnormalities. It was not a relic.

The surroundings returned to silence.

Saul looked around cautiously. At this time, he had put away all his things, but the corpses floating around had not dissipated. They were still surrounding the fishing boat, as if waiting for something.

Watching the gradually setting sun, Sauer decided to row the fishing boat back by himself.

It took a lot of effort at the beginning, but as I became more proficient, the speed became much faster.

When the sun had completely sunk below the surface of the sea, he finally saw the fishing village in the shadows.

He returned to the fishing village alone, but the people in the fishing village did not show any abnormality until he saw several fishermen walking around the fishing village safe and sound.

Although he couldn't distinguish these faces one by one, he firmly believed that these fishermen had died on the sea just now, and it was impossible for them to return to the fishing village. Even if they could, it was impossible not to be discovered by him.

unless……

The way these fishermen come back is to swim back to the fishing village from below the surface of the sea.

Saul shook his head, it was too weird to think like this.

He frowned slightly, found a remote place, and took out the earphones again. Since it was not a real electronic product, it would not affect the use even if it was soaked in water, but just in case, he still used the wind to blow the earphones completely. Dry, then, he pressed the button, waited for the headset to activate, and when fully activated, he shouted again.

Bury, still no response.

The situation seems even more abnormal than before.

Shaoer thought of something, he put away his things, went back to the fishing village, and then walked towards another road, which is also the way he came to the fishing village. From this road, he can leave the fishing village and return to the more prosperous area of ​​Westwood Port.

At first, everything was normal, but gradually, he found that something was wrong. He seemed to be trapped in the fishing village, and he couldn't get out no matter how he walked.

"Since when..."

Sauer turned his head to look at the fishing village under the night, his eyes gradually became sharper.

He quickly returned to the fishing village, found his landlord, and then took out the pendant he got when he went out to sea.

"This is a talisman that I asked for in the city. I heard that it can bless fishermen who go out to sea, but I don't think it's useful, but some people believe in these things and will carry them with them."

Saul returned to the room and examined the amulet carefully.

"Strange, why do those dead fishermen come back to life?"

He shook his head. At this moment, he thought of Kraut and Kraut's son Navin.

Claude is not only a high-level quencher, but also a relatively well-known alchemist and the owner of the Golden Medal of Honor. There may be less than 30 people with this status in Westwood Port. Even so, regarding Navin's death, Kraut still has nothing to do, he is still looking for it.

In contrast, a fisherman in a fishing village cannot easily come back from the dead.

"Could it be that I'm dead?"

Saul frowned, he didn't think this guess was worthwhile.

"Or, the fishermen are actually dead, but they haven't left this world yet?"

He thought of the scene of the fisherman walking into the ocean last night, his movements were stiff and strange, as if he was lured by something.

"Tonight, I have to go and have a look."

"This amulet may be useful."

The full moon hangs high.

Saul, like last night, waited for the creaking footsteps to fade away. He hid behind the door, waiting for the gap.

When the time came, he quickly left the room and walked to the hiding place outside the fishing village, just like last night, not long after, the dull fisherman dragged his stiff body to the sea water, then turned his head and showed that indescribable weird smile Looking in the direction of the fishing village.

continue waiting.

When there was a gap in the middle, Sauer bowed his waist and came to the seaside. Then, he was surprised to find that the amulet he got before had emitted a hazy blue light. After the light appeared, it formed on his body. Putting on a hood, he took a deep breath, looked back, and walked into the sea.

Soon, the sea water submerged him, but he was completely blocked by the blue hood.

He walked alone on the dark bottom of the sea, every step was very slow, the surrounding was extremely quiet, only the faint blue light of the cover was left for illumination, and with the help of the blue light, he could barely see a distance of less than half a meter.

From time to time, small fish swam past him, each time appearing very abruptly, like a sneak attack, until he saw a foot appearing in front of him, he immediately stopped and looked up along the foot.

Is a fisherman.

The fisherman stood upright, his hands hanging by his sides, his eyes glazed over, and his frozen face looked eerie under the blue light.

Saul swallowed, then, he looked forward.

In a trance, he seemed to see the shadow outline of a giant in front of him, like a part of a tentacles. He raised his head high, but he still couldn't see the whole picture clearly, only a part of the body.

The giant lay dormant quietly on the bottom of the sea, motionless.

Sauer felt that the outline of the giant was somewhat familiar, but he was not sure, or rather, he was unwilling to be sure.

The giant is like the lower body of the statue of the king of the black domain.

He took a step forward and found another fisherman diagonally across from the fisherman. This fisherman also had stiff limbs and empty eyes.

Just in case, he left an air sentry in place. Although he knew it wouldn't help much, it could give him some psychological comfort.

He kept going, he had come here, and he had no choice but to keep going.

The fishermen with stiff limbs stood in two rows, and their stiff faces looked even more terrifying under the blue light.

Then, a discovery made him stop.

On a step, a familiar statue lay quietly on the bottom of the sea. It was the statue of the King of the Black Territory. However, there was a pendant hanging on top of the statue. When he took a closer look, he found that the shape of the pendant was exactly the same as the statue. The pendant on his hand is exactly the same.
