Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 11 The Sun Rises in the Sea

Although the swollen monsters are very powerful, this power seems to come at a price. Even though they are not injured, they will fall down after fighting for a while.

Therefore, although the murlocs were defeated step by step, their numbers were also decreasing sharply.

But they were still slightly superior, and soon the fish people here could not hold on any longer and fled in all directions wailing.

A fishman bumped into Zeus who was hiding nearby. It howled and swung the steel fork in its hand towards him.

The speed was so fast that Xiusi felt he could not avoid it. He wanted to try to twist away the vital parts, but an angry shout came from behind him.

Ash rushed forward, caught the steel fork, and stabbed it into the fishman's chest with his backhand.

The fishman let out a shrill howl, dark green blood gushing from his chest, and he struggled and fell to the bottom of the sea.

"That's amazing!" Xius couldn't help but exclaim.

The swollen monsters in the distance noticed this place and gathered around.

"Ash!"

"You are still alive!?"

"The clan warriors of the fishmen will be here soon, we must evacuate as soon as possible!"

"Where are we going? There's no place for us in the Storm Ocean! We're doomed!"

"What can we do? The murlocs are going to kill us all. Are we just going to die like this?!"

"Why not kill a few more murlocs!"

"Quiet!!!!" Ash raised his steel fork, the blood stains on it floating in the seawater. He raised his voice, "I found a way to lift the curse. We need to enter the Abyss!"

It pointed to the seabed not far away, where there was a huge crack that ran across almost the entire seabed like a twisted scar, as if it was about to tear the ocean in half.

Is that the Abyss? It seems to be some kind of seabed crack?

The swollen monsters were quiet for a moment, then exploded.

"Remove the curse!? What did you say? Remove the curse!??"

"Can the curse really be lifted? Has the prophecy been fulfilled?"

"Mingyuan. I heard that there is a dead end for life down there. All creatures will go crazy after going down there, and no one can come out alive. We..."

"Hiss, the prophecy says that gods come from above the land, this human..."

Zeus did not hide on purpose. The swollen monsters had already noticed him, but they thought he was not a threat and did not pay attention to him.

Various eyes fell on Hughes, mostly with suspicion.

Indeed, if one were to put himself in the shoes of others, Hughes himself wouldn't blindly believe that an alien could be a so-called god, but why was Ash so certain? Thinking carefully, it seemed as if she had already determined herself after signing the symbiotic contract.

Ash slammed his harpoon into the seabed, and when the surroundings quieted down, he spoke loudly:
"My fellow tribesmen, there is no time to explain. The enemy will arrive in an instant. We must unite!"

"I know you have many questions, but we have no other choice now. Believe me, believe in the prophecy, believe in the gods. We only need to go to the Abyss to lift the curse!"

"Since you have chosen to fight, you must fight until the last moment. Either live on your knees or die standing!"

Ash looked around, his eyes full of determination.

"Besides, the road ahead isn't dead. The water pressure in the Abyss is fatal to other species, but for us, it's an opportunity for transformation!"

"A thousand years! We've been enslaved for a thousand years!"

"Now let us use our flesh and blood to pave a path for future generations!"

Ash raised his steel fork, and surging emotions rolled in every eye. No one spoke, and the silence was like a volcano about to erupt.

"My fellow tribesmen, make your choice here!!"

Ash didn't say anything else, he just closed his eyes. The swollen monsters around him seemed to close their eyes at the same moment.

A ritual before a battle?

But after a moment, they opened their eyes again. Although their expressions were different this time, they all looked towards the abyss not far away.

Xius was stunned. Have they reached a consensus now?

They were arguing in chaos just now, but just by closing their eyes, they became united?

Something must have happened after they closed their eyes together, allowing them to make a quick decision. No matter what disagreements they had before, they can now cooperate. It must be some kind of extraordinary power.

Unfortunately, now is not the time to ask too many questions.

This ability is efficient and fast. If this race weren't troubled by water pressure and their numbers weren't so small, they should be excellent warriors, right?

Zeus suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, and the other swollen monsters also raised their heads.

One thing was certain, that is, they really needed to take action. The fishmen in the distance who were originally timid suddenly cheered. Zeus looked in the direction of the fishmen and saw a boat coming from the distance.

A ship sailing on the seabed.

It was full of rotten holes, had no sails, but was hung with a flag.

A black flag with a scimitar through a hole on it.

There was no one to steer the ship; the rudder rotated by itself, as if the entire ship was controlled by invisible sailors.

Ghost ship? The word suddenly popped up in my mind.

Hughes subconsciously felt something was wrong. This was at the bottom of the sea, so why was there a ship there? The fishmen were cheering; this ship was clearly here to help them.

And that ghost ship, somehow, he just felt like he had seen it somewhere.

"Lord, please follow us into the abyss!"

The swollen monsters did not stop. After a brief discussion, they gathered together and rushed towards the abyss below.

They rushed into the abyss, but the strange wooden boat stopped.

The next moment, a huge bang came from afar.

Xius was also diving rapidly in the abyss following the large group. Looking back at this moment, he saw countless colorful tracks crossing the sky like fireworks, rushing towards them.

The fireworks that bloomed on the seabed illuminated the abyss for a moment, but Zeus, who was standing in front of it, had no time to appreciate it. The indescribable feeling of fear was like a cold big hand, instantly grasping his heart.

Xius felt that his intuition was screaming wildly, and some vague premonitions in his heart kept warning him.

You will die. If you are hit by those things, you will definitely die!

The swollen monsters looked at each other and split into two groups without hesitation. Some continued to dive into the abyss, while the others turned around and rushed towards the colorful tracks.

Ash rushed over, grabbed Hughes' hand, and pulled him to continue diving downwards.

"they."

Ash didn't answer. The bitter sea water flowed past Zeus's side, and it just pulled Zeus to continue diving deeper into the abyss.

Zeus did not resist. He just turned around and silently looked at the figures coming towards him.

Their limbs were swollen and ugly, and their eyes were just small balls buried in the folds of flesh, but they were filled with fire.

It was the rage of revenge, mixed with the flames emitted by the ghost ship, as if it wanted to be seen by all the creatures on the seabed.

Zeus opened his eyes wide, trying to imprint this moment in his mind.

Just before they were about to touch, the bodies of those swollen monsters suddenly grew several times larger, and blazing white light burst out from their bodies.

The whole world seemed to be quiet for a moment, and everything went into slow motion. Zeus stared at that side intently, and a huge ball of light suddenly appeared, reflecting in his pupils.

The next moment, a devastating explosion swept over!

boom! ! ! !

The huge explosion squeezed the sea water into ripples, which then spread violently in all directions.

At this moment, it was as if a scorching sun rose from the bottom of the sea, even penetrating the heavy sea water and illuminating the night sky above the sea for a moment.

The ghost ship steered to one side, but was soon submerged by the ball of light.

The fishmen in the distance showed horror on their faces and fled madly with their backs to the spreading explosion ripples.

However, it was too late. They were like flies struggling in vain on the beach, and were instantly buried by the waves.

boom! ! ! ! !
Most of the shock waves exploded outside the Abyss, and only a small part squeezed into the Abyss and rushed quickly towards Xius and others who were diving.
