Volume 20 Chapter 90 Your Nightmare Is Not Mine

The sad welcome banquet finally allowed us to get through it safely. After all, the piranha queen served food instead of poison, so no one would die if we really ate it. [ ] Of course, no one would really eat it if they could, so... I was being cunning.

There is a saying that "all methods are forced out". I think this makes sense. Faced with the food that was difficult to swallow, I was forced to have no choice, so I came up with a solution. The first thing is to classify the food. The piranhas arranged for us were basically raw seafood. Although it looked disgusting, it actually tasted good when cooked. For example, sea cucumbers, which are very expensive in reality, are basically giant black maggots covered with spines when they are alive, but after they are made, they are very delicious, rich in nutrients, and very good for people.

Similarly, the things the piranhas prepared for us wouldn't be too unpalatable if they were cooked. The problem is that they didn't cook them. For this problem, my way to deal with it is to process it myself.

While I was eating, almost all of my magic pets completed their respective tasks and took advantage of the characteristics of the training space to return directly to me. This caused my magic pets to gradually return to me. After the queen finished talking to us and let us taste the feast, I directly summoned Xiaofeng, who had returned, to temporarily act as a maid to feed me. Although this may seem like I'm a bit pretentious, considering that apart from the members of the piranhas, there was only one Prometheus present, so I didn't care at all that they doubted my character, and I had no plans to do so in the future anyway. Have in-depth communication with them.

The biggest advantage of having Xiaofeng, a maid, feed me is not the sense of superiority of being swayed by a beautiful woman, but... she can cook things. After all, he is still a phoenix, and playing with fire is his basic ability. No matter what kind of fresh seafood it is. As long as it passes through her hands, it immediately becomes cooked food. No seasoning added though. But the taste of raw and cooked food is different. Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, at least it's not disgusting.

At first, that idiot Prometheus didn't notice what was going on here. It wasn't until he gnawed half of the plate of disgusting sea creatures with a frown on his face that he suddenly smelled the aroma of meat, and then he turned his head to look at me in surprise. One glance, and then I was surprised by Xiaofeng's skills. Of course, it's useless to know, because he doesn't have a magic pet that can play with fire. My Xiaofeng will not be lent to him no matter what.

certainly. Not everything in that pile of seafood can be cooked. Some things are unpalatable even if they are cooked, so I thought of another method.

Of course it is not good to throw away the food given in front of the Queen, and it would be impolite not to eat it. But there’s no need to actually eat it. Just make people think you ate it. That's no problem. So, after thinking of this method, I asked Fenglong to open a space door directly in my mouth. Then I started to pretend that I was very satisfied with the food and stuffed it into my mouth. In fact, I just stuffed the food into the Phoenix Space through the opening of the space near my mouth. Others thought I had eaten those things. Actually I didn't encounter anything.

After we had finished our food, the Queen immediately asked us if we wanted more, but I hadn't opened my mouth yet. Prometheus hurriedly waved his hand and said no. Just kidding, I ate a bunch of unseasoned seafood. In addition, a lot of inedible things were thrown into Fenglong's space, but he actually swallowed them. However, this was already the limit. If the queen brought something else up, he would definitely spit out what he had eaten before. .

The queen didn't care when Prometheus refused so quickly, but he did give up the plan of having more. Anyway, she was just being polite and didn't really intend to let us eat until we were full. After continuing the conversation simply and cordially for a while, I finally left here on the grounds that I was in a hurry to complete the task, and of course Prometheus followed me out. But as soon as he left the piranha clan's hiding place and reached the water outside, Prometheus immediately came to my side and whispered hello to me, and then hurriedly opened the scroll to return to the city and teleported back.

The reason why Prometheus had to say goodbye in a low voice was because when we came out, we were not alone, but we brought three members of the piranha tribe with us. Prometheus was afraid that they would hear it, so he could only say goodbye in a low voice. I explain why.

In fact, it was no big deal for Prometheus to leave, he just hurriedly vomited. Although this place is already outside their territory, there are still three of their people around, so it is not convenient to vomit in public. Besides, this is underwater. Prometheus relies on the underwater ventilation function of the helmet to breathe normally. If he wanted to vomit out what he had eaten, he had to go ashore, otherwise he would have to vomit in the helmet. Although the helmet had an underwater ventilation function, water would still get in when the mask was opened, so he had to do it first. Slip away. As for the mission, now that he knows my strength, he also understands that it doesn’t matter if I’m with him or not, so he doesn’t ask to follow me anymore.

After watching Prometheus teleport away, I called on three members of the piranha clan to go and see what was going on with the so-called device.

The three people who followed me were an equipment maintainer, a guide, and a combatant. The three of them will be responsible for guiding me to the device, and the maintenance person will also be responsible for checking the device and determining whether it can still be activated, while the combatant's task is to protect it from the side. Of course, I originally asked them not to send combatants, but the other party's maintenance staff did not believe in my strength, so he simply refused to come with me without the protection of combatants.

In fact, this guy is quite bold, because among the people in the entire piranha clan who can maintain the equipment, no one except him dares to take risks, even if more accompanying guards are added. None. In comparison, this one that only requires one escort is quite liberal.

The piranha tribe and the mermaid tribe are genetically close relatives, so they also have sonar and other things. In order to facilitate the exploration, I released Ariana immediately after Prometheus left.

Speaking of Aina, something happened in the middle. I didn't know that before, although the mermaids and piranhas are close relatives. But there was something very wrong between the two races. When A Di Na appeared, people on both sides almost started fighting. In the end, I used force to control the three piranha clan members and stopped Aina to settle the dispute. However, because of this incident, the two parties were constantly quarreling on the way. Obviously, the relationship between the two parties was extremely bad.

In fact, this feeling is easy to understand. Obviously they are both descendants of the mermaid clan, but the piranha clan and the mermaid clan are one that looks like an alien creature, and the other one is unparalleled in beauty. Do you think these two people can live in harmony? Mermaids attach great importance to their own beauty, and at the same time extremely look down on the ugly piranhas. The piranhas, because of their hatred of beauty, which is similar to their hatred of the rich, extremely hate these beautiful relatives. So with both parties looking down on each other, the relationship became worse and worse.

Although the relationship is not good, as long as they don't fight, I don't care. Fortunately, Aina is a magic pet. And in reality there is a body. I know that the things in the game are just fictional backgrounds, so I don't take this matter too seriously, although I still look down on the other party in my heart. But not as extreme as other mermaids. As for the members of the piranha tribe opposite, although they also hate Aina, they are following the queen's orders after all, and they and the mermaid tribe are just at odds with each other, and have not yet become life-and-death enemies. Therefore, when they have a mission Under the premise, they still suppressed their emotions and ensured that their work took priority.

Although reluctant on both sides. But with fairly effective cooperation, we quickly found the location of the instrument and swam all the way there.

"Strange!" After swimming in the water for more than half an hour. The member of the piranha tribe who was responsible for guiding suddenly muttered suspiciously.

Although his voice was not loud, I still heard it, so I turned around and asked, "Is something wrong?"

The piranha clan member frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Don't you think our journey is too quiet?"

"Quiet?" After hearing this guy's reminder, I also reacted. According to Little Skull's previous introduction, there should be more monsters here as we get closer to the location of the instrument. However, we have now walked more than 80% of the distance, and we haven't even encountered a single monster. What kind of situation is this? Could it be that the monsters moved collectively? Obviously this is impossible!

Hearing me repeat this, the two piranha clan members next to me also started to get nervous, because they had felt that something was not right before, but they never paid much attention to it. Now with this reminder, everyone understands I figured out where my uneasy feeling came from.

Just as the three piranha clan members were nervous and I was thinking, A Di Na suddenly said: "There is usually only one possibility for this situation."

"Huh? What's possible?" One of the piranha clan members asked habitually, and then he realized that he shouldn't answer the mermaid clan's words.

After all, A Di Na had a physical existence in reality, and she did not take the opportunity to despise the other party. Instead, she directly replied: "There must be a super powerful monster nearby, so it scared away the little shrimps."

Although "Zero" is just a game, many principles are the same no matter where it is played. For example, in reality, rich and powerful people generally live in high-end residential areas with relatively low density of residents. In ancient times, dignitaries and other dignitaries lived in large residential areas. This is a concrete manifestation of the territorial will of high-level individuals. . The more powerful a high-level creature is, the larger its residential area will be, and the less it will allow other low-level beings to move within this range. Human beings are still social animals, and they all have such obvious territorial awareness, so these wild monsters naturally have stronger awareness. So, if there are suddenly no monsters here, then there must be a big guy entering this area.

"What should we do now? Should we go back and hide first?" When their lives were at stake, the piranha clan members didn't dare to worry about any differences and asked directly. It is better to be afraid of death than to actually die.

Although A Di Na was asked, she is my magic pet, so she naturally gave up the decision-making power to me. Besides, the advantage of magic pets is that they cannot die. Even if they die, they can be resurrected. Unlike free NPCs, they really die when they die, so magic pets are not as afraid of death as ordinary NPCs.

Seeing Aina's gaze, I immediately shook my head and said: "No, let's keep moving forward. Sooner or later, if you want to repair the equipment, you will have to meet these monsters, and hiding is not an option. Just don't worry. Even if I can't kill that monster, It’s absolutely fine to hold it back and let you leave.”

I just finished speaking. The guide who was responsible for leading the way immediately said with a strange expression: "Since President Ziri said so, then hurry up and block it, we are going to run away!"

"Ah?" I was confused for a moment, not understanding what he meant, but then I noticed the huge pressure coming from behind me.

This is not a false feeling, but a real pressure that can be felt. After all, this is underwater, not on land. When an object approaches you, it causes the water flow to move, so significant changes in water pressure can be felt over a certain distance. On land this phenomenon is called wind pressure. Individual masters can use this to judge the opponent's movements during combat and dodge in advance without being able to see them at all. But in the water, the range of this perception is amplified a lot, and even ordinary people can clearly sense it. People like me who can feel the wind pressure even on land are naturally more aware of it.

Feel the huge change in water pressure. I turned around immediately. As a result, I happened to see a very ugly and ferocious monster rushing towards me.

"Damn it, don't you have anything here that looks a little bit like earth creatures?"

The monster in front of me has an extremely weird shape. Its body looks like a caterpillar with many tui. Moreover, its tui is not that of an arthropod, but that of a mammal, and there is a hook similar to an eagle's claw at the tip of the tui.

The main part of this creature is a long fleshy worm with an obvious earthy color on the body, with large green patches on it, which looks a bit like camouflage. It's just that there is no camouflage effect at all in this water area. In addition, this guy has a circle of red eyes on his head. Although I didn't count them, it looked like there were at least thirty. These eyes just form a fairly standard circle surrounding a sunken area that looks like an anus, but I know that once the small hole opens, it will definitely be bigger than this guy's body. After all, how can this thing look? They are all like molluscs, and the extension of their bodies must be exaggerated.

Sure enough, just when I saw the appearance of this guy clearly, the monster that had rushed forward suddenly opened its small hole like anus, and then instantly expanded the small hole into a A tunnel that directly allows you to drive an aircraft carrier into, and the inner wall of this tunnel is covered with circles of bright white, sharp teeth that are at least two meters long.

This thing is like a fucking mutated leech, and it's also a super giant one. Because its mouth part suddenly expanded dozens of times in volume, a vacuum negative pressure was formed inside its mouth. As a result, the surrounding water and us in the water were all sucked in together with a large amount of water like ants in front of a vacuum cleaner. into this guy's mouth. And the moment we entered this guy's mouth, its mouth immediately began to shrink back, obviously preparing to swallow us all in one bite.

Because the thing happened so suddenly, the three piranha clan members were completely frightened. Although A Di Na reacted, her level was not high and she had no other ability except to protect herself. Of course, I didn't expect Aina to help me fight. Her main job was to assist, not to attack.

"Victoria!"

Buzz... A light golden cover suddenly appeared around us, and Victoria appeared in this cover. As soon as Victoria appeared, she pulled out her newly mutated repeating crossbow from behind, and then fired a shower of golden arrows at the top of her head.

Because we are basically in the mouth of the monster now, it is impossible to miss the target. Almost all the golden arrows fired hit, and this continuous shooting mode can increase the power. The big bug outside was hit by hundreds of arrows in an instant, and its attributes were instantly wiped down to less than half of the standard attributes. Then I threw eternity upwards, and the spherical eternity instantly decomposed into twelve double-headed swords, and then began to spin. In the blink of an eye, the twelve double-headed swords turned into twelve rotating sword wheels, and then they scattered with a roar and crashed into the body cavities of the monsters around us.

At this time, the monster was closing its mouth and contracting its muscles, trying to crush, grind, and crush us with its teeth. However, the closed teeth first hit the sword wheel and were shattered instantly. Then the sword wheel stuck to the monster's flesh wall with its rotating circular surface. , and then like a high-speed rotating drill, all the flesh and blood was instantly crushed. Then it penetrates all the way into the flesh and continues to thrust outward.

The monster that originally thought food had entered its mouth suddenly twitched, followed by a series of popping sounds. Twelve whirling sword wheels suddenly penetrated the monster's body and left a circle of twelve bloody holes on the monster's head. However, although the diameter of these twelve holes is more than one meter, which is enough for a person not to walk out of them, they are not very large compared to the size of this monster, so although the pain is very painful, it will not hurt. fatal.

However, the twelve sword wheels did not stop there. After flying out of the monster's body, the twelve sword wheels suddenly turned sideways, pointed their thin sides at the monster's body, and flew back with the twelve sword wheels spinning at high speed. It accurately hit a circle area on the monster's body that was the same distance from its head and immediately cut into the flesh. In fact, these twelve sword wheels are not just as simple as cutting in, they not only rotate and cut in, but also revolve around the monster while rotating, and shrink the rotation radius as they rotate. It's like twelve cutting sword wheels that are getting tighter and tighter. In the blink of an eye, a red cutting line was left on the monster's body. A large amount of red blood spurted out, and the monster struggled desperately to get rid of these sword wheels, but no matter how it struggled. The cutting of the sword wheel has never changed, and it is still going deeper inward.

Finally, after more than ten seconds, twelve sword wheels suddenly emerged from the inner wall of the monster's body cavity at the same time, and after walking along the inner wall of the monster's body cavity, they suddenly accelerated and flew towards my raised palm. come over. Then, while the three piranha clan members were stunned, they directly collided with each other in my hand, and finally melted into a round ball and fell into my palm.

When I calmly took back eternity, the monster's head detached itself from the body and sank to the bottom of the water. Due to the cutting of the twelve sword wheels just now. This monster's head has been completely separated from its body, no matter how powerful it was in life. After death, it is nothing more than a pile of flesh.

No, that's a bit wrong. In fact, this monster was quite powerful. The reason why I killed it so easily was entirely because I met its nemesis.

In fact, this monster is very powerful. First of all, its underwater speed is extremely high, and when it gets close to the target, it suddenly expands the mouth to create a partial vacuum, thereby sucking the target creature into the mouth. This trick can basically be said to be unsolvable. Unless you can exceed the volume of its mouth, it is inevitable that it will be swallowed. However, considering that the space in its mouth can fit into an aircraft carrier, there are not many creatures that can get stuck in its mouth without being swallowed.

In the second part, once you are sucked into your mouth, what you will face is a muscular passage full of sharp teeth. That's right, this monster's teeth are not just in the circle outside the mouth, but extend in circles from the edge of the mouth to a length of fifty meters. Everything in this area is filled with teeth, and they are densely packed. As long as it contracts its muscles to bring these teeth closer to the center, it can easily squeeze and grind the prey it eats to death. You must know that the muscle strength of this monster is extremely exaggerated. It is so large that its muscle mass is naturally exaggerated. With such strong and large amounts of muscles contracting together, even if a battleship is swallowed up, it can easily crush it into a solid lump of iron, let alone a living body. In addition, this tooth channel actually functions like a whale's baleen plate. When it chews you, it can spit out the water it sucks in, but you have absolutely no chance of getting out.

In the third part, even if you withstand the crushing and grinding of this fang channel, you will still be pushed into its abdominal cavity by its muscle peristalsis. Here, is the monster's digestive system. This digestive system is filled with super strong gastric juice, an extremely terrifying digestive juice whose properties are similar to the corrosive water made by alchemists. This liquid can not only corrode physical matter, but also energy. Therefore, even if you are wearing magic armor, it can only last for a period of time. Once the magic power on the armor is corroded, the armor itself will begin to be corroded, and then your body. So, as long as you can't run out in a short time, you can only wait to be corroded. What? Why don't you dig a hole and get out? Everyone can think of this method, but the problem is that the surface of the monster's digestive tract is covered with a slippery, soft, yet extremely tough soft tissue protective film. This kind of membrane is extremely soft and very slippery, so it has almost no force. If you insert a sword into its structure, it will just press a pit into it. As soon as you pull out the sword, it will bounce up immediately. It will not move at all. Been cut open. Moreover, even if you cut a scar out of it, this thing will heal in a very short time, so unless you have a way to penetrate it in one go, don't even think about getting out.

Based on the above reasons, this monster had almost no opponents in this water area before. Normal creatures cannot run away from it, nor can they avoid its devouring. After being swallowed, most of those creatures cannot withstand the crushing and grinding of its fangs. Even if they survive, the digestive tract will be their final destination. After all, that layer is flexible and has its own magic barrier. The protective film is just too difficult to deal with. Therefore, those creatures that are swallowed can only wait to die.

But unfortunately it happened to me today. Its first attack of swallowing was effective, and even if it tried again, I still couldn't dodge it. However, the next steps were unfortunate. My eternity is equipped with cutting laws. As long as it is not something with the power of laws, it can basically cut through it as smoothly as cutting tofu. Therefore, the muscles, strong teeth, and flexible protective membrane that this guy was proud of were all useless in front of me, and they were cut into a pile of rotten meat.

Looking at the monster that was divided into two parts and gradually sank to the bottom of the water, the three piranha clan members were still in a daze. They didn't know whether they were scared by the monster or me. But I don’t have time to spend time with them here, so I went over and took a picture of them.

"Hey, don't be afraid, the monster has been killed."

After I finished speaking, the three guys still looked at me stupidly, and they didn't suddenly react until A Di Na reminded me again. The piranha warrior who was responsible for protecting the other two immediately shouted to me: "You actually killed it? You actually killed it?"

"What's wrong? Can't that thing be killed?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." The piranha clan member said excitedly and somewhat incoherently: "I'm too excited. Did you know how strong that thing was just now? As far as I know, after I became In the past ten years as members of the hunting team, there have been a total of twenty-nine large-scale casualties, seventeen of which were due to encounters like this. Every time the hunting team encountered this guy, Our hunting team had to be reduced by at least two-thirds, just because we would run separately every time, so that it could not catch everyone, otherwise it would be completely annihilated. But you actually killed it! My Poseidon Ah! Have you started taking care of your people again?"

By the end, this guy didn't know what he was talking about, but I understood his mood. This is like a small country that has always been bullied by its neighboring countries. One morning, it suddenly discovered that its neighboring country had been destroyed inexplicably. How do you think they feel now?

"Hey, hey, hey, can you guys stop being so excited?" Looking at these guys dancing, I couldn't help shouting again.

The security guard said excitedly while jumping: "Haha, after this guy dies, we can rest assured that we can hunt again. Why should we be unhappy?"

At this time, Adi Na finally couldn't help but said: "You want a reason, right? Look back, there are many reasons over there."

"Huh?" The three of them didn't react much at first when they heard A Di Na's words, but when they looked back, they were completely dumbfounded. Because, just in the direction behind them, a dozen huge black shadows are slowly emerging, and looking at the outline, they are clearly the same kind of creatures just now. ! .
