Chapter 268: The Great Library

Anti relied on his four-handed weapons and body regeneration to block this brutal concentrated fire bombardment.

But before he could catch his breath, the big crab's claws were aimed at him from a distance.

"Fall into the abyss!" As the words fell, the pliers clamped suddenly.

The water stream was ejected, instantly crossing the distance between the two, and seized the gap when Anti was resisting the artillery fire in front, accurately bypassing Anti's defense network and hitting Anti.

Bang!
The water flow exploded, shattering half of Anti's body, and blood, flesh and broken bones flew everywhere.

Subsequent artillery fire continued to concentrate the attack, and Anti was engulfed by the artillery fire for a time, and then fell downwards.

……

Anti finally understood why these crabs were said to have extremely strong combat capabilities. They were able to beat the Pope of the Light Church to death, and in the end he could only survive by dividing areas and sealing bridges.

The ordinary seafood before did significantly lower Anti's expectations of the sea people's combat capabilities.

Especially the anglerfish of the Light Cult, which has no redeeming features except for its weak mind control.

But crabs are different.

Why can they fire cannons at the bottom of the sea?

With just this artillery unit, Anti could hardly imagine what seafood could fight against this group of crabs. And that big crab gave Anti a sense of oppression that was even greater than that of the Pope of the Light Church.

That is Crab, the lord of Crab Rock City, General Crab, who was famous during the heyday of Havendes. Now he has built his own city in a corner of Havendes, conquering cities and territories, and gradually growing stronger.

The information given by Octopus Otto mentioned the other party.

During the early turmoil in the Deep Ocean Center, underwater volcanoes, the ancient Pearl Kingdom, large trench rifts... these forces formed a coalition to attack Havendes, forcing Havendes into a dilemma.

But in the end, it was two powerful generals who stabilized the war situation, repelled the enemy, and saved Havendes from falling.

They are respectively known as the sharpest spear and the hardest shield of Havendes.

Spear is now guarding the sand fort, but has been eroded by the abyss and gradually lost his mind, General Shrimp, Pipiro. He is also the brother of the discouraged shrimp Pipiro.

Shield is the Crab General that Anti just met.

However, although it is most famous for its hard shell, its aggressiveness is obviously not low. Although Anti was covered by the fire network and had no time to take care of it, the opponent was very powerful and was able to seize the opportunity. The water bullet hit Anti's body and shattered most of it without any resistance.

There are always crabs out there.

The so-called shrimp soldiers and crab generals successfully became generals in Havendes, and their fighting power was quite amazing, which was amazing.

Anti was completely in a trance, and his body regenerated from its shattered state.

Relying on the strong tentacles strengthened by the Big Mouth and the use of the Miracle of Silence, Anti struggled and fell to the ground in a relatively good-looking posture.

It had just been hit hard by a ship not long ago, and now it was hit by artillery fire and fell into the trench.

It feels like I’m lying on the ground, looking up at the sky, waiting for my body to regenerate more and more times.

I got up from the ground. It was dark here.

Originally, the Deep Ocean Center is located in the deep sea. Without those decorations containing the light of the sea, Havendes is usually pitch black.

And deep in the trench, below Havendes, there is no light, which is only slightly better than the absolutely lightless Eternal Night Realm.

"Hungry……"

"Want to eat crabs? I want to eat them too, let's go up and eat those crabs." Anti replied.

Normally, if the protagonist falls off a cliff, the next step would be an adventure.

But according to what Anti knew, the lower class of Hevendes was...

The sound of something wet squirming came from the darkness. Anti's eyesight was now able to see things more clearly as long as there was a little light, so he spotted the other party immediately.

An octopus. Unlike Otto who looks like a ball, this octopus is more in line with the impression of a weird octopus with long and wriggling tentacles.

However, underneath this octopus's head is a human body.

They are sea people who have combined the power of the abyss with that of humans.

The fusion of this octopus in front of me seems to be not very complete. The human body has no legs, so it can only rely on tentacles and head to swim. The human body is a complete burden.

"Ah? Who are you?" An old and hoarse voice sounded. Anti was ready to smash the other party to death with a hammer, but who knew that the other party could speak human language.

This is actually a rational seaman!

I heard from Octopus Otto before that some sea people will not lose their minds immediately at the beginning of the mutation.

In fact, the Pope of the Light Church probably has some sense, otherwise it would be impossible for only a mindless seaman to control the Light Church for such a long time. When Anti arrived, the probability of losing control was too low, so Anti thought it had some sense, but just didn't want to communicate with Anti, which led to such a regrettable ending.

Anti didn't put down the hammer, but he stopped for the time being.

"Thank you... Thank you for not killing me... Although if you want to kill me, that's fine too. I'm just a disabled scholar who was squeezed out of the library. I have nothing..." The octopus head's voice was intermittent, as if he would die at any time.

"Are you the octopus from the library?"

"I was originally a member of the library, where I improved my knowledge... But now the mainstream school of thought in the library is the Abyss... Only by combining with humans to become sea people can we get closer to the secrets of the Abyss. Then, the great sage can help the Deep Ocean Center escape the crisis of the Abyss... I am so incompetent that the combination failed. I can't help the sage and can only be expelled..."

Wow, this doesn't sound right. Is that sage really working hard to solve the problem of the abyss?

According to long-standing practice, such attempts to get the skin of a tiger are unlikely to end well.

But then again, Anti himself is actually one who possesses the power of the abyss, so it is not appropriate to directly label others as bad.

"If I fall from above and want to return to Havendes, where should I go?" An asked.

The octopus head moved slightly: "Return to Seavenders... If you want to return to Seavenders from this abandoned trench, you can only go through the library. The library is interconnected, and it is like a maze for the newcomers to the sea... This maze can also lead to the entire Seavenders, and even beyond Seavenders. This is our wisdom..."

Even though this octopus head is an abandoned failure, it is still full of respect for the library, and its words are filled with pride.

However, Anti started to have a headache when he heard the word "maze".

If this is a game copy, then this copy is really unfriendly to Anti.

There are countless small mazes nested underneath a large maze.

Rubbish designer! This is not how you design a map!

"That's great, sir, please accept this..." As he spoke, the octopus tentacle suddenly took out something and handed it to Anti.

[Hyvenders Library Key: Every scholar who joins the library can be equipped with a universal key that can open most of the doors in the library. "Anyone who enters the library has the right to read all the knowledge", and this key is the embodiment of this rule.]

"I don't need it anymore. As a failed scholar, I just need to rot here quietly, waiting for the reptiles on the seafloor to eat me... I'll give this key to you... I hope you can also experience the beauty of knowledge... hehe..."

Octopushead let out a silly laugh, but it became weaker and weaker, as if he was relieved to have entrusted something important to someone else.

And this sigh of relief brought its life to an end.

Watching the octopus dying quietly in front of him while talking to itself, Anti opened his big mouth and stealthily reached out his tentacles towards the corpse.

Then lift your head and look forward and upward.

There, embedded in the darkness, sat a massive building.

I’m going to raid the Great Library.
