Chapter 262: Darkness Always Exists
There are also some large gaps between the coral reefs. If you are not careful, you may fall into them and fall into an unknown place. Although according to the layout of Hevenders, Anti estimated that there might be something deep below the coral reef complex, but Anti did not go down rashly.
The temporary goal is to go to the parish to find more sensible seafood and see the situation.
Antioch wandered among the coral buildings.
He did not hide his tracks too much, so every time he arrived at a place, many enthusiastic sea residents would come to "welcome" him and treat Anti to a sumptuous seafood buffet.
It was hard to refuse Anti's kindness, so he let Dazui eat his meal happily.
I ate through the contents of Big Mouth until it was 50% full.
It looks good to be half full, but the previous three-quarters full should be almost digested, and it will soon become two-quarters full again.
This is why Anti would rather endure the intensified hunger than go out of his way to feed Big Mouth.
It can't be fed at all. It will start to starve as soon as it finishes eating ordinary food. I'm afraid most of the time will be spent on feeding it. Unless you go to Knight Duras in the gap of eternal night to buy more.
The purchase price is a bit high, although now, if we don't rely on foreigners, we may be able to cut it down a little, but after the Antiloquito incident, my original intention was to come here for vacation, and I haven't found that kind of thing to test the level.
Of course, now we basically skip the trial and fast forward to the actual combat stage.
After a fierce battle with Lindsay, he was ambushed by the Crab God and hit by a large ship... After all this, it might be better to go to Knight Duras to purchase supplies.
The Deep Ocean Center is too large, and the masters who survived here after a long history are probably not that simple.
There may be no shortage of masters who can rival Youshen.
As Antio took action, the surrounding corals gradually changed from colorful to mainly blue. At the same time, more signs of civilization transformation appeared, and Antio even saw traces of humans.
Because stairs appeared between giant coral reefs.
The only people who need stairs in this place are probably the humans who came to this "paradise" to seek refuge.
There are also many spiral sculptures above the coral buildings with blue tones, which seem to represent a layer of faith, but now these spiral sculptures are dim.
This should be the southern parish of Havendeus.
As soon as Anti came in, he saw a group of anglerfish swimming out of a coral building in a neat line. They were covered with dark blue cloth with a pattern of "wings and tentacles spread out, clustered around a central spiral horn", symbolizing their beliefs.
This pattern feature is also obvious.
Their small lanterns illuminated the low-visibility environment around them, and since Anti was not hiding, they noticed him at the first moment.
"Humanity?"
"Humanity!"
"Abyss believer!"
"Expulsion!"
"Kill!"
Before Anti could say anything, these anglerfishes made a few shouts on their own and then quickly moved towards Anti.
The hideous and ugly mouth opened, revealing sharp teeth, while the lantern bait on the head spread out strange waves.
Anti felt that as the waves spread, the surrounding sea water began to flow abnormally, as if controlled by his thoughts, squeezing towards Anti in an attempt to restrict his movements.
Anti waved his hands vigorously and forcibly broke free from the restraints. It didn't take much effort and it wasn't very powerful.
The sections of the Unborn Cane separated into long whips that swept across, accurately covering all the anglerfish.
Snapped!
The sound was heard in the sea water, and all the anglerfish were torn into two by the whip blade.
[Anglerfish Light Cultists: Anglerfish sea tribe who devoutly believe in the light of the sea, their lanterns are the basis of their belief. The Light Cult is a religion that the sea tribes in the Deep Ocean Center spontaneously gathered to believe in Akuskati. In the fight against predatory darkness, they made important contributions to the development and growth of the Deep Ocean Center Seavenders, but now that the abyss is spreading, the light that illuminates the way forward also obscures the vision, and paranoia may lead to the wrong path. 】
Anti got information from these ugly deep-sea fish.
After giving Big Mouth some different deep-sea seafood, Anti officially walked into the coral parish where the atmosphere was obviously different.
Unlike the Heping Coral Area, the coral reef architecture here has already shown a sense of layering.
The depth can be deeper than the flat coral area, and the height is even more prominent. Not only the giant coral pillars, but many coral buildings are intentionally built higher. I wonder if this represents the difference in class among some sea creatures.
The monotonous blue tones, combined with the equally cool light, appear somewhat chilly in the ocean.
You can see many patrolling anglerfish believers outside, but I don’t know what the point of their patrol is at this time.
And just as Pipiro's intelligence said, there were a lot of normal seafood here. Anti could feel the fresh breath around him, not the smell of blood and qi that had been contaminated by the abyss and deteriorated.
Lights can be seen faintly in some coral structures, and through the gaps one can see traces of marine life activities.
When Anti passed by, some of them simply stopped moving and dared not breathe more, while others were brave enough to come and take a look.
But when they discovered the human Anti, they would exclaim, then hide themselves and not dare to breathe.
There were even some hot-tempered sea creatures who directly yelled at Anti in a low voice.
"Damn you humans! How dare you come to the parish! You should all be sent to the volcano and burn to death there!"
"Why are there still humans active in Havendes? Where are those stupid Light Cult believers who usually only bully and capture us now?"
"Get out, human, no sea creatures welcome you here!"
Anti came to a building and stopped.
I didn't intend to pay attention to it at first, but certain bad habits are probably common to most intelligent life forms.
A few seafood were cursing happily, and gradually the seafood around them became bolder and joined them in cursing.
A bit noisy.
Anti looked at a coral building next to him.
The sea creatures in the gap looked at Antioquia: "What's wrong? Human, are you angry about the current situation? But you can't enter our house. Here we are blessed by the light of the sea, and your filth cannot..."
Bang!
Anti didn't even listen to what it said. He suddenly stretched out his hand and punched through the coral building next to him.
The faint light covering the coral building did not pose any significant obstacle to Anti. The sea creature was sticking to the window and was caught by Anti before he could react.
"Ah!" A big fish with unremarkable features struggled violently after being grabbed by the head by Anti, but to no avail.
In an instant, the shouting and cursing around stopped abruptly.
They probably never expected that Anti would take direct action, and they never expected that the protection of the Light of the Sea would have no effect on Anti.
How can it be! ?
The light of the sea protects all sea creatures. Because of this, even if humans are contaminated by the abyss and merge into terrible sea monsters, they will still end up being suppressed and driven away by the sea creatures.
But now, the light of the sea that they trusted was completely unable to stop these humans of unknown origin!
The big mouth stretched out its tongue and grabbed the fish. As soon as Anti loosened his hand, the fish struggled and was swallowed alive by the big mouth.
"It seems that just as Momonai said, you seafood are living too comfortably under the protection of the Deep Ocean Center." Anti said lightly.
"I remember every room that just made a sound, so..."
The tentacles of the big mouth stretched out in all directions with a "whoosh".
"You can start running now."
……
"Hungry……"
"You're not hungry at all. You just ate until you were 60% full and you've digested it to only 30%. Hurry up and eat. I don't know when you'll have the chance to eat so casually next time."
Anti left from a ruined coral reef, where nothing was left.
Naturally, the habit of a big mouth leaves no residue.
After meeting such easy-going people as Momonet and Pipiro in a row, Antii misunderstood the situation a little and thought that the majority of the sea creatures in the deep ocean center should be relatively friendly.
But obviously, it's not.
No matter how “primitive” something is, it does not mean “simple”.
This is a deep-sea civilization with a long history, so it has everything a civilization should have, including some bad habits.
After Akuskati left, there were unrest and wars here. The sea creatures killed each other until they reached the abyss, and civilization completely collapsed and fell into madness.
Although predatory darkness has weakened as the overall power of marine life has declined, it may be becoming stronger again in another aspect.
Momonai is not very convenient because of his sense of mission and the seal, so only Anti can remind them.
The darkness is always there.
