Chapter 888: rmaid
Zhang Yi still did not know just how much impact his self-destruction of the Golden Edge on the ocean had caused.
Because they had completely shut down all communication channels, the Jiangnan Region and East Sea Region assud that an accident had occurred.
Although Zhu Zheng firmly believed that Zhang Yi was a steady and reliable person and could not have t disaster at sea, worry clouded his mind.
There was intelligence about the Divine Source on Zhang Yi, and his niece Zhu Yunque was also on the ship.
So he urgently contacted Rose Squad and sent Linghu Feixue to investigate the explosion area.
He also coordinated with the East Sea Region to pressure the Colombian Navy.
The situation in the East Sea suddenly beca extrely tense.
Both sides dispatched large numbers of ships and superhumans; it was hard to say when a careless spark might ignite conflict.
anwhile, what were Zhang Yi and the others doing?
They aimlessly moved forward through the ice fog area, hoping to find a piece of land soon to rest.
After several days, they arrived at a certain sea area.
Zhang Yi was sitting by the window reading a book, while Zhou Ke’er was behind him rubbing his shoulders.
Suddenly, Zhang Yi’s ears twitched; he seed to hear a faint, ethereal song.
It was like the graceful lody of a Brahma bell.
Zhang Yi couldn’t help but ask, "Who is singing?"
Zhou Ke’er paused, "Is it... warm loneliness?"
Zhang Yi said, "There really is soone singing. Did you hear it?"
At Zhang Yi’s question, Zhou Ke’er imdiately pricked up her ears.
Zhang Yi had a keen sense of hearing, and when she listened carefully, she only caught intermittent, faint singing.
"It seems to be coming from far away."
At this, she curiously added, "It’s strange. This is the sea—how could soone be singing? Could it be... we are close to land?"
The ice fog area had very poor visibility; the Leisure’s navigation was almost like drifting aimlessly in the latter days.
The visibility range was only a few dozen ters, and they might have already arrived near an island in the sea.
Hearing this, Zhang Yi stood up with curiosity.
"Let’s go out and take a look!"
He was very cautious and put on combat suits for both himself and Zhou Ke’er before stepping out of the cabin.
At this ti, the others on the ship had already been drawn by the singing.
The long voyage at sea had made them feel empty and lonely; the singing was undoubtedly the best redy for their boredom.
A group of people leaned on the railing, gazing into the depths of the ice fog, all trying to discern the direction from which the singing ca.
"Could it be a fishing boat?"
"It’s possible to be fishern at sea. There are many small islands isolated in the ocean. Maybe they haven’t been much affected by the apocalypse."
"But who is the one singing?"
Su Nuanxi cupped her hands to her heart, hope shining in her face as she said, "I heard that the singing at sea might be from rmaids. Do you think we’ve encountered a rmaid?" ɽαɴỖʙÈS̈
Zhang Yi happened to walk over and heard this. With no expression, he said,
"Things that live in the water year-round—even if it’s really a rmaid—it would definitely be covered in fish scales all over. Are you sure that thing is what you imagine?"
Su Nuanxi’s expression stiffened instantly. Thinking of a creature covered in scales, with a blood-red gaping mouth, feeding on fish, her face turned pale.
Zhu Yunque tidied her hair and said, "I have heard legends of sea demons. They sing at sea to bewitch sailors, leading ships to run aground and sink."
Old Tian and the other crew burst out laughing upon hearing this.
"That’s just a fairy tale. But there really are animals at sea that make sounds similar to human babies, like dolphins and certain species of whales."
Zhang Yi looked into the distance while listening to Old Tian recount his adventures at sea; this was the nth ti he had told the story to the group.
But as he listened, Zhang Yi’s eyes suddenly widened.
Because the thick ice fog before him slowly dissipated, he actually saw a rmaid perched on a reef!
A human upper body, a fish tail below, and the upper half was an absolutely stunning rmaid with a curvy figure and flowing red hair!
The singing was coming directly from the rmaid’s mouth.
Zhang Yi stared at the scene in shock.
The rmaid seed to sense Zhang Yi’s gaze and turned back to look at him.
Her face was incredibly beautiful, more so than any woman Zhang Yi had ever seen, nearly flawless.
The lodious tune she sang was in no language Zhang Yi recognized, sweet and lingering, as if from a mysterious underwater dragon palace.
At the mont she saw Zhang Yi, a radiant smile appeared on her face. Then, she leaped from the reef into the water.
She rose and fell lightly on the surface, like a dolphin.
Soon, she ca to Zhang Yi’s side.
Her wet, smooth arm grasped the railing, smiling as she gazed at Zhang Yi.
Such a scene even made Zhang Yi feel enchanted, as if trapped in a fairy tale world.
But at that mont, his inner warning blared loudly.
The Echo of Ti instinctively made his body retreat.
Zhang Yi was stunned in his heart. The rmaid before him had already opened her soft arms, revealing a patch of fair skin on her chest, rushing into his embrace.
The scene before his eyes changed abruptly.
In an instant, from exquisite beauty to extre ugliness—what kind of beautiful rmaid was that?
It was clearly a dark and ugly monster fish covered in black sli, with a huge blood-red mouth!
"Damn it!"
By instinct, Zhang Yi cursed and cold sweat broke out on his back.
He unleashed Divine Power to twist space and instantly pulverized the disgusting monster fish!
But strange cries erupted on the ship; that monster fish was not alone.
Three of them had already sneaked onto the ship, pouncing on the passengers and beginning to gnaw.
Their mouths emitted sounds like babies crying, low and rhythmic, making people drowsy.
Those gnawed passengers had empty chest cavities, but their faces still wore happy smiles.
Zhang Yi felt chills down his spine—these monster fish could hypnotize people with their sounds!
If he didn’t have the Echo of Ti ability, he might have fallen victim just now!
Seeing that everyone on the ship had been hypnotized, Zhang Yi knew he couldn’t wake them.
He quickly drew Holy Judgnt.
The black void fla transford into a long serpent and instantly killed all the monster fish on board!
Since these creatures used sound to hypnotize, Zhang Yi planned to use the sa thod to break it.
He turned on the combat suit’s voice amplifier and turned the volu to maximum, shouting loudly, "Wake up, all of you!"
The deafening sound made everyone’s eardrums ache.
Everyone snapped awake and realized the beautiful illusion had vanished, replaced by several grotesque black monster fish corpses on the ship, and companions with hollowed-out chests, terrifying everyone into screams.
