Chapter 1145: Chapter 1143: Impolite
To be fair, this new voice that appeared was still sowhat inferior to the singing skills of the Fishn.
However, once it erged, it sounded as if it carried the Suona Authority, causing the lodious singing of the Fishn to instantly diminish in montum.
Even the frenzied pursuit seed to hesitate for a mont.
“What is that? The Fishn seem to be afraid of it?”
Lann, who had expressed displeasure at Fu Qian’s suggestion for a rest, was suddenly spirited.
“It does seem so.”
Fu Qian, also in good spirits, agreed with this view.
“I’ve heard an ancient saying, ‘Within seven steps, there is always an antidote for poison.'”
“It wouldn’t be surprising if the predator of these Fishn were gathered here.”
Where does this ancient saying about antidotes within seven steps co from?
The audience was visibly conflicted, but the welco change of events quickly overshadowed their concerns.
“Now, we still have no clear way out, and our energy is severely depleted. Should we head in that direction, take advantage of the voice’s suppression of the Fishn, and rest a bit?”
Lann contemplated for a mont before posing the question to the group.
In a critical mont, this gesture of gathering wisdom was very appropriate.
But on further thought, it was clear it didn’t hold much significance.
Apart from a few with deranged nerves, there probably wasn’t anyone on the ship who wanted to continue this desperate escape.
“I know this thing might not be all that friendly, but as long as it’s hostile to the enemy, there are many opportunities it can help to alleviate our stress.”
“That sounds reasonable.”
Surprisingly, even the worriso lunatic agreed this ti.
Even the tone of his agreent sounded quite sincere.
“…Then it’s settled.”
Although the attitude of the other party, based on previous behavior, made Lann wary, he still clenched his teeth and made a decision.
…
“They really do seem a bit scared.”
Monts later, Rachel, who was intently watching the stern, finally couldn’t help but speak with so excitent.
And her tone well represented the mood of the crew on the ship at the ti.
With the rapid change of direction, they had already left the stormy area and ventured through more than one fragnt zone.
Fortunately, even without the prior use of a harmonica to probe, they had not encountered any lurking monsters so far.
And that voice that stunned the Fishn, although not continuous, still resounded from ti to ti and sounded increasingly closer.
The pursuing Fishn were still relentless, but their speed had clearly slowed down.
“Does Mr. Fang think we should get even closer? Or should we just keep maneuvering around this area?”
Lann, in high spirits, looked at Fu Qian with a smile and sought his advice the next mont.
…
Is he thinking that we are more anxious than they are, and finally found so relative advantage?
Fu Qian shook his head inwardly.
No wonder Lann can keep a group of cutthroat individuals in check—he is indeed a ruthless character, quickly contemplating internal stability first upon realizing there’s the slightest advantage in position.
After all, everyone’s behavior thus far had been an overt use of each other, and as of now, he himself was unscathed.
The power disparity will only continue to grow.
Lann surely wouldn’t mind throwing himself into the fray as cannon fodder when he has the absolute upper hand, so Fu Qian must not mind either.
“Advise not to stop, keep moving at full speed.”
Glancing at Rachel, whose expression was slightly serious, Fu Qian unusually offered a very clear suggestion.
“This doesn’t really sound like your style, does it?”
Before Lann could respond to Fu Qian’s suggestion, a team mber sneered coldly.
“I thought you would suggest we stop and play the harmonica for a while.”
This was clearly mocking the overly cautious suggestion made earlier.
And from the reaction of those around, he wasn’t the only one with this thought.
After all, up to this point, although the Fishn were strong, this team was clearly capable of dealing with the occasional ambush attack from those lurking.
Not only delaying ti, without the harmonica from earlier, they might not have been pursued so closely; it seed counterproductive no matter how you looked at it.
Observing this burly-faced team mber, after trying to understand from his perspective, Fu Qian nodded.
“Just a suggestion, of course, you can stay here, especially since it looks quite sunny and pleasant.”
This was not an exaggeration; the sea area they were in right now was a world apart from the previous stormy zone, where not only could they see the Sun, even the wind was exceptionally gentle.
“It is indeed nice weather.”
Being stared at by Fu Qian, perhaps due to his gentle deanor, but the scene of the previous slaughter couldn’t help but flash across the man’s mind.
Although he understood Lann’s intentions quite well, he certainly did not want to confront the rage of this killing god alone, and the burly-faced team mber subconsciously shrank back a bit.
However, not wanting to seem too ek, he naturally walked to the side of the ship and looked out, putting on an air of enjoying the scenery.
“I have no problem drifting here for a while.”
“The Fishn don’t seem to have completely given up; to be cautious, we should reduce speed appropriately and keep moving forward for a while.”
This ti, Lann’s tone was no longer consultative; the speed of the boat visibly slowed down as he spoke.
Rachel’s face nearly fell in sync.
Ah—
But in the next mont, a piercing shriek, even montarily overshadowing the Suona Authority’s singing, rang out.
A giant spike, several ters long, pierced directly through the burly man’s back.
The exaggerated length, together with the splashing blood, made it look like a huge skewer of at.
Suddenly faced with a drastic change, before the others could observe anything further, the burly man was already hoisted into the air by the spike and retracted into a giant maw that erged from the water.
And on that huge head, resembling that of a stingray, there were a dozen more such mouths.
How could this happen…
The sudden ergence of such a creature on the clear sea was undoubtedly quite shocking.
“Be careful!”
Fortunately, Lann’s experience was extensive; he imdiately accelerated, abandoning any thoughts of rescue.
However, as fast as the boat could go, it still took ti to accelerate; in the next mont, several screams were heard, and as the heads broke the surface, several more giant spikes extended from their mouths, each skewering a person.
It was evident that the team mbers were doing their best to dodge and defend upon the warning, but the penetrative power of those spikes was truly horrifying; all their defenses proved utterly ineffective.
Even after swallowing their prey, the creature refused to relent, not only pursuing with vigour but also oozing strands of blue mucus from the shaking spikes; anywhere it touched the ship, corrosion was swift and complete.
This was becoming a bit unreasonable.
In this critical mont, Fu Qian finally stood up, his gaze locking on the ferocious beast’s head.
Eating then leaving is a matter of courtesy.
