Walking into the cabin, to Hero's expectation, the interior space of this old-looking fishing boat was extremely large.
The inner warehouse is divided into two layers. The middle layer should be used as a cover, and some fish are stored inside.
But the overpowering stench choked Hero's breath.
This smell is worse than the mucus secreted by the fishmen. Who knows how long they have kept these fish catches.
The aunt walked to a corner and used her mutated right arm to chew up the wooden board, exposing the entrance to the lower level.
Looking closer, a narrow wooden staircase appeared in front of Hero.
"Hero, go ahead!"
Compared to Hero's cautiousness and tiptoeing at the moment.
Auntie became obviously bolder after she came here.
Hero was driven down, followed closely by the silly fishman who carried him all the way. His aunt was at the last position. When he was about to go down, there was some noise at the entrance, as if his aunt was making some small moves.
But Holo was out of sight.
Walking at the front was also to make it easier for the fishmen to control him, but because there was no obstruction from the fishmen in front, he could carefully observe the specific situation on this level.
hiss!
Even though it was pitch black, he could see clearly with his eyes after blessing the soul energy. The entire floor was filled with square cages made of unknown materials, and most of the cages were filled with children the same size as him. It's the chain he wore before.
Damn Green! I also want him to work on the ship, and the ship where he can work will most likely be here!
Without waiting for Holo to react, the fishman pushed him and asked him to step aside two positions. After his aunt came down, he used his broad body to block the entrance to the stairs.
Holo inadvertently took two steps back and asked, "Why did aunt bring me here?"
"Don't worry, you will see everything. The deep-sea sacrifice will not stop if it does not get enough sacrifices. The greedy soul will devour everything in the port until it is satisfied. I have enough time to satisfy it, wait until When those imperial magicians come again, it will be too late."
Auntie seemed to have thought of something good, and she smiled very happily, and patiently explained to Hero.
Laughing, he groped into the darkness of the cabin.
As he groped, the cabin suddenly became brighter. Heroo took a closer look and saw dozens of oil lamps inlaid along the wall of the cabin, and what was lit on the lamps was a green fire.
Seeing Holo's horrified expression, her aunt continued:
"Whenever a fishman in the port dies, we will turn the oil into an oil lamp. Not only will the lighting effect be better, but it can also use the smell of the deep sea to isolate the internal and external smells."
"What about these kids?"
Hero took the opportunity to ask. He had observed that the children in the cabin were still breathing and had no wounds on their bodies. They should have taken a drug that caused them to become comatose.
"They are just like you, they are all children raised in the port. We have waited too long for this sacrifice."
"Aren't you afraid that the empire's magicians will purify you?"
The aunt slowly walked towards Hero. On the way, she picked up a cage, opened the mouth of the cage, walked up to Hero, and hit him in the chest with her fish-shaped right hand. She had no time to defend herself, and her body couldn't stop flying backwards. .
"Ahem..."
The severe pain in his heart made him speechless. He coughed out a mouthful of blood clots and breathed calmly: "Aren't you afraid that Mena will be found back? Aren't you afraid of the empire's magicians?"
Damn it, this old woman is going to do it!
He had already frantically poured soul energy into the rune nails. There was no reason why he could sense Mena's presence. Mena, the caster, didn't react.
"It seems that you already know what will happen next. You have been smarter than other children since you were a child. Auntie likes you very much, but she doesn't like the tone of your voice just now."
The aunt's intact left hand picked up the immobile Holo and threw him into the cage. Then she squatted in front of the cage and said to Holo crazily:
"Stay here well and watch Auntie perform the great sacrifice."
After saying that, her aunt took Hero aside, turned around and called the fishman blocking the door to start clearing the cages piled randomly in the cabin.
In the center of the cabin, as the messy cages were removed, Hero saw a huge and mysterious formation.
The formation is made of white powder. I don't know whether it is due to the intrusion of time or the excessive humidity on the seaside. The color of the powder has become extremely light, and some lines have even been disconnected.
I saw my aunt taking out a package from somewhere, and along the boundaries of the formation, she kept taking out white powder from the bag and began to make up for the incompleteness of the formation.
"I can't wait any longer. I'll just sit there and wait for death. I'll end up being slaughtered by the old woman."
A sacrifice that required human sacrifices, Hero knew it would be extremely bloody.
Fortunately, the injury just now made the old woman relax her vigilance towards him. Not only did she not restrain him, she also did not send fishmen to guard him.
Although the space for movement in the small cage is relatively small, it can still accommodate his operations.
While Auntie was busy dealing with the formation, the opportunity was not to be missed.
"Right now!"
Hero took out all the runic nails he had collected previously.
Injecting soul energy, [Steel Charge] amplitude.
The rune at the end of the iron nail gradually turned red. Taking advantage of the sharpening effect of the iron nail, Hero quickly inserted it into the wooden floor and squeezed the gap in the middle.
One after another, Hero estimated the distance. Each time he inserted a rune-iron nail, he would push the cage to let the rune-iron nails occupy as many gaps between the boards as possible.
The hull had been scrapped due to long use. The wooden planks themselves had also been baptized by time and swollen to the extreme. Now, after being squeezed by the rune nails, they began to make a slight creaking sound under the load.
At the same time, aunt also finished redrawing the magic circle.
Right in front of Hero's eyes, the fishmen opened the cages and dragged the sleeping children inside into the magic circle.
No other tools are needed at all, just the sharp scales on the body play the role of bloodletting.
One hand pulled the person out of the cage, and the other hand cut the scales to bleed.
Very efficient.
And the aunt also strolled over to Holo's side.
"When facing death, you should feel fear. The more you fear the undead in the deep sea, the more satisfied you will be, and the more rewards you will give us... what?"
In her impression, the timid Holo should be frightened when he sees children being slaughtered and bloodied, but there is no look of fear on Holo's face, only a smile from the corners of his mouth to his ears!
At this moment, Hero kicked off one leg without hesitation.
Crunch!
not enough!
Holo grabbed the cage rod above his head with both hands, pulled his body up, and with the weight of his body, he stomped hard towards the board with his feet.
"No!"
The aunt didn't react when Holo acted for the first time. It wasn't until the second time that she noticed the row of nails in the cracks of the wooden boards.
boom!
The wooden plank under Hero's feet suddenly collapsed, and the chain effect of feedback caused all the wooden planks on this layer to begin to shatter.
A thousand-mile embankment collapses in an ant nest.
The rune iron nails lifted up the abandoned fishing boat.
The hull began to tilt abnormally.
The aunt who was originally furious and ready to kill Holo slipped.
Holo was so frightened that he pushed up the cage and started running to the side.
'It would be a loss if we were killed before the chaos! '
