Chapter 100
If it was just a storm sinking a small pirate ship, Xiao Tangqiu would not be too panicked. But this was a big tsunami that could overwhelm a luxury cruise ship. They were completely trapped. How could they escape in the vast sea?
Shen Yuan suddenly said, “Retreat to the cabin first.”
Right now, the entire luxury cruise ship swayed violently in the wind and rain. From time to time, huge waves dozens of meters high set off in situ. If they remained on the deck, they would likely be washed directly into the sea.
Everyone nodded and quickly returned to the cabin. Xiao Tangqiu also followed everyone’s steps and was about to return to the cabin, but suddenly felt a chill down back, as if something terrible was watching him. He subconsciously looked back. But apart from the stormy waves that set off, he saw nothing.
Did he imagine it?
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly spotted a piece of clothing hanging on the rails from the corner of his eyes. The pattern of that piece of clothing was kind of familiar, and he quickly reacted. Wait! Isn’t that the coward’s clothes?
Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously looked towards where the coward’s corpse remained on the deck and was shocked to find that the corpse was gone. Could it be that when they turned to return to the cabin, the corpse of the coward grew wings and flew away?
There was only a shirt hanging on the railing, which was exactly the same as the situation when the other person disappeared on the pirate ship… At this moment, a huge wave came and the shirt disappeared in the huge wave.
Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t tell if he imagined it, but he suddenly saw a huge eye hidden under the waves.
Just as Xiao Tangqiu’s heart palpitated and he wanted to take a closer look, that huge eye vanished. It disappeared so fast that he almost suspected it was an illusion.
“The waves are coming! Qiuqiu run!” Tang Mianmian pulled Xiao Tangqiu, who was looking at the sea in a daze, back into the cabin.
Xiao Tangqiu came back to his senses and quickly told everyone what had happened. Duan Hongzhen raised his eyebrows, “There is a huge eye in the sea?”
Xiao Tangqiu was frightened and nodded, “Yes, then the body of that coward disappeared, and the guy before…”
“Is it a huge sea monster?” Tang Mianmian touched his chin. “Since there are drowned ghosts and mermaids, it’s not surprising to have another sea monster. But what kind of sea monster can it be?”
Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously replied, “Generally speaking, the most classic image of sea monsters is the giant kraken from the deep sea, right?”
Tang Mianmian answered, “A kraken bigger than this luxury cruise ship? The type that has a head as big as the deck and tentacles dozens of meters long?”
Xiao Tangqiu nodded and was just about to respond, but Yu Fuling and Sai Lulu suddenly screamed. These two girls had always been calm and put together, and they could be considered warriors among women. They had never seemed so flustered before. He whirled around and saw an extremely horrifying sight.
When all of them evacuated into the cabin, they clearly saw a huge wave of nearly a hundred meters in front of the cruise ship through the transparent glass door of the first-floor hall. This huge wave was not the most terrifying, however. The most terrifying thing was that following the huge wave was a gigantic monster.
It was a huge maroon octopus-like monster with a head the size of the deck. The unseen tentacles were probably dozens of meters long, covered with dense and terrifying suckers. A pair of huge eyes looked at them with a deathly gaze.
Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t find an accurate adjective to describe the shock in his heart right now. He even couldn’t tell whether he was shivering due to simple fear or because of megalophobia. It was too big! Way too big! He had never seen such a huge monster!
Tang Mianmian also screamed, “Ahhh! Qiuqiu, it’s your crow’s mouth’s fault! What kraken of the deep sea!”
Xiao Tangqiu, “…My fault? Didn’t you just say the rest of the description?”
Tang Mianmian cried and slapped himself, “My fault! My fault! I was wrong! I was wrong! Can I take back what I just said?”
Xiao Tangqiu gave a wry smile, “It’s too late.”
This deep-sea kraken didn’t even have to deliberately target them. The waves that it caused when it came and went were enough to drown them. Just like a person about to kill an ant, would he bother to consider whether to kill it with a stick or a stone?
Everyone paled. They were completely not on the same level when it comes to enemies of this size. Not to mention that they were in the enemy’s home court, its natural environment. This kind of enemy was large enough to crush them while controlling the sea. It was terrible!
At this moment, the huge waves that were raised when the kraken rose from the deep sea also fell, crashing against the deck heavily. The entire luxury cruise ship shook violently and Xiao Tangqiu slipped and almost fell. Fortunately, he quickly grabbed Shen Yuan with his hands.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, something even more terrible happened. As the huge waves hit the deck, the sea also rushed toward the glass door of the hall. He immediately shouted, “Run!”
Everyone turned and ran deeper into the hall. As soon as they left the area around the glass door, the turbulent water hit and the glass door was shattered apart.
The seawater continued to smash into the hall along with the glass door’s fragments. They would run past one place, and in the blink of an eye, that place would be submerged by seawater. The tables and chairs in the hall were also instantly immersed in the seawater.
Shen Yuan ordered, “Run to a higher place!”
Xiao Tangqiu did not hesitate to follow Shen Yuan up the spiral staircase to the second floor. Although the elevator was still powered, any idiot would know that you should never use the elevator when disaster strikes. No gods or demons would respond in case the elevator got stuck in the middle of a power failure.
The huge hundred plus meters tall wave was overwhelmingly powerful, and the seawater that it brought instantly flooded the entire hall on the first floor. Xiao Tangqiu wanted to stop on the spiral staircase to take a rest, but the next second, Shen Yuan suddenly coldly said, “Be careful!”
Shen Yuan grabbed Xiao Tangqiu around the waist and pulled him aside just as the huge glass window lighting the spiral staircase suddenly shattered and a huge tentacle came in!
Xiao Tangqiu turned his head and saw that the huge tentacle was covered in densely packed suckers, and the suckers were covered with jagged teeth. This octopus-like monster had no mouth. It hunted using the suckers on its tentacles. Every sucker was its mouth. At this moment, there was still a lot of food that had not been completely ingested on these suction cups, and he saw the head of the coward and the incomplete bodies of several merfolk at a glance.
Xiao Tangqiu’s face turned pale and wanted to vomit. He finally knew how the person on the pirate ship disappeared. There were no windows but there were doors in the crew cabin of the pirate ship. The kraken must have put its tentacles into the door and preyed on the man closest to the door!
The giant tentacle failed to catch any prey with a single sweep, so then it turned around to explore Xiao Tangqiu’s current position. Xiao Tangqiu quickly dodged backward while Shen Yuan did not hesitate to pull out his silver gun and shoot at the giant tentacle!
Boom!
After the gunshot, the huge tentacle coiled together from severe pain. Several suction cups were broken and the flesh and blood rolled together in a ball. However, the tentacles themselves did not disappear like other targets hit by this silver gun.
Xiao Tangqiu’s heart sank. Shen Yuan’s bullets didn’t work on this giant kraken!
“What’s going on?”
Shen Yuan’s eyes darkened, but he wasn’t too surprised. He said coldly, “My Demon Subjugation Gun can’t do much against a stronger power.”
In other words, this kraken was stronger than Shen Yuan!
Yu Fuling didn’t dare to imagine, “How is this possible?!”
Xiao Tangqiu also thought this was impossible. Shen Yuan was a man who could directly fight the Abyss Demon! No matter how powerful this kraken was, could it be more powerful than the Abyss Demon?
Shen Yuan seemed to know what Xiao Tangqiu was thinking, and lightly explained, “The Abyss Demon in the instances is just a clone limited by the laws of the instance. It only possesses part of the power of the true Abyss Demon, which is far from its real power.”
Xiao Tangqiu understood. It turned out that the previous Abyss Demon was not its real body but just a small clone. Even so, that clone still possessed immense crushing power. So how powerful was the real Abyss Demon?
Tang Mianmian quickly asked, “What about this kraken? Is it also a demon?”
Shen Yuan’s eyes darkened, “I have seen it in the Book of Demons. It should be the direct creation of the Abyss Demon, Abyss Demon Optus.”
Abyss Demon? The direct creation of the Abyss Demon?
And what is the Book of Demons?
Xiao Tangqiu had a lot of doubts, but the situation right now obviously did not allow them to continue chatting. The huge tentacle rolled into a ball because of the pain, but soon another tentacle came in!
The two tentacles squeezed into the window at the same time and the metal frame became deformed.
“Run! Keep running up!”
Shen Yuan gave an order, and everyone turned around and ran upstairs without hesitation.
Although his bullet did not have much effect on the deep-sea monster, he still succeeded in causing it to suffer. Its tentacles angrily chased after everyone, destroying everything on the spiral staircase. The hanging paintings and the vases were also swept down to the ground in a mess.
The kraken was completely enraged. It used its remaining tentacles to set off huge waves in a frenzy, and more and more seawater rushed into the ship, but the seawater was not enough to sink the luxury cruise ship.
In the next second, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly yelled, “Fuck! It’s going to board!”
Everyone looked out through the huge glass windows on the spiral staircase to see the big octopus angrily grab the edge of the ship with the rest of its tentacles and board the ship.
Its huge body boarded the deck and instantly covered the entire deck like a hill. It probably wanted to use its own weight to crush this luxurious cruise ship!
