Chapter 614: Letter (1)
Translator: 549690339 |
These parasites with fleshy feelers were extremely strange. Not only did they have a strong life force, but the human-faced spiders should also be related to them.
In addition, they were living in human bodies, so song qingxiao was extremely wary of such creatures. After drawing a distance, she wanted to use her spiritual power to freeze the parasites.
The strange parasitic beast wriggled and clenched its fists in the water. Several brown tentacles stretched out in all directions like blood leeches. It seemed to be suffering a great deal of torture. It struggled non-stop, as if it was looking for a floating duckweed to settle down.
The lake water rippled as it spread its tentacles. The sticky and broken internal organs on its tentacles emitted a strong smell of fish, gradually attracting a large number of fish in the water to gather around it.
It spread its dark brown tentacles and wriggled like a worm, attaching itself to a few big fish. It then drilled through the fish’s scales and hid under the skin.
The big fish was immediately startled and swam away quickly.
The parasite’s slimy body was stretched and pulled apart like a thin film that had been pulled out of shape. Its body was translucent.
Under the light of the water, song qingxiao was horrified to find that its tentacles were like straws, sucking the blood through the tentacles and into the meat in the middle of the fish, which made the color of the fish darker.
Several fish that were ‘caught’ by the tentacles struggled, and their bodies were pulled even more. Other fish took advantage of the fact that their tentacles were caught and swam toward the main body of the fish.
A few of the bolder fish bit down on the slimy meat and easily tore off a piece!
Dark brown juice gushed out, and the fishy smell attracted the fish to fight for food.
The parasite beasts that were extremely terrifying to humans were completely helpless against the school of fish!
As the school of fish pecked at it, its body was quickly torn apart. The parasitic beast might have also sensed that something was wrong, so it desperately struggled in the water, making an intense splashing sound.
The parasites that had yet to fully evolve were quickly devoured by the school of fish. In about 20 to 30 seconds, the huge plate of meat was torn apart, leaving only a few tentacles that had lost their main body still wriggling around. However, in the end, they were still no match for the fish and were quickly devoured by the school of fish.
The school of fish, which had shared the delicious food, was reluctant to leave and surrounded Zhou Qi’s corpse.
A few fish that had been caught by the parasite’s tentacles flipped over and floated on the water surface, floating and sinking with the waves that had yet to calm down.
Song qingxiao held her breath as she witnessed this scene. After a long while, she slowly let out a breath of air.
From the looks of it, the reason why these humans who were infected by the new species were afraid of water was not only because the water might force out the monsters hiding in their bodies, but also because they were affected by the source of infection.
She remembered the story of the lost city that the bow-wielding man had mentioned. After the lost city was ‘punished by God’, it sank to the bottom of the sea for many years, until it was finally awakened by the reluctant adventurers.
If these parasites came from the source of the lost city’s curse, then after the city sank into the sea, these parasites that had been submerged in the sea might have hidden their fear of water in their genes.
After humans were infected by the parasites, they were affected by them and did not dare to approach water sources. Even if these infected parasites grew into aliens, they would probably have an instinctive fear of water sources. Although this was only her speculation, from the scene of the human-faced spiders, infected humans, and parasites being eaten by the fish, her speculation was close to the truth.
Song qingxiao swam to the shore. After she climbed up to the beach, she wiped her face and reached into her pocket to take out the letter she found on the remains of the abandoned boat.
She opened the water-proof bag and took out the folded letter.
The letter was only one page, and both sides were filled with words. After so many years, the paper’s color had become dull, but because it was sealed, it was basically preserved in good condition.
“I’m called…”
It introduced the identity of the skeleton of the abandoned ship in extremely messy handwriting. In some places, the tip of the pen had even pierced the letter because of excitement. It was obvious that the writer of the letter had been terrified at that time.
… After eight years, professor an finally confirmed the location where the lost city sank into the sea. The signal from the lost city was simply exciting.
The first half of the letter was the same as what the bow-wielding man had said last night. The people on the abandoned ship were also adventurers who had been looking for the lost city. They rushed to the vicinity of the sunken Lost City and received a signal from the adventurers who were trapped in another dimension wall and had been infected. They thought that they had discovered a new species, and the whole ship was immersed in uncontrollable ecstasy.
Be it the appearance of the lost city or the discovery of new species, both were major events for humans.
“Unfortunately, we encountered a terrible storm, which rolled up huge waves and formed a terrible Whirlpool on the surface of the sea, as if it was going to suck us in.” From the words written on the letter paper, song qingxiao could vaguely imagine the terrible scene in the storm. Whether it was the mysterious signal or the location of the lost city, it happened to be in the center of the storm. The lost city and the new species were too tempting. After a discussion, everyone decided to take the risk.”
Curiosity and greed triumphed over fear. Professor an and his group unanimously decided to charge into the storm, and the outcome was obvious.
The moment the ship passed through the storm, it was as if it had travelled through time and space, and finally rushed into the lost city.
However, the real danger had only just occurred.
Perhaps it was because what happened later was too terrifying, the handwriting of the owner of this letter was even more illegible than before. It was obvious that his emotions were unusually unstable at the time.
“We’re seeing a miracle!” Upon seeing this, song qingxiao instinctively looked up at the sky. The statue of the goddess stood in the distance, facing her. After being corroded by the seawater and sunlight, the statue of the goddess was somewhat incomplete and unclear. Her head was lowered, and she looked like she was repenting in sadness!
The ‘miracle’ mentioned in the letter should be referring to the statue or the architectural style of this place.
-As we expected, the residents of the lost city are probably from the Titan race. They have given birth to a unique belief and civilization, and have developed extraordinary technology! After examination, professor an concluded that this place had indeed suffered damage caused by tectonic movements before it sank into the sea. However, he discovered that before the damage caused by the earthquake, the Titans in this city were already on the verge of extinction! “We’re very curious. The Titan race is an extremely powerful race. They have physical qualities that far surpass humans. When their race was strong, they almost ruled the world! With such a powerful and invincible race, what kind of situation would cause them to be on the verge of extinction and be unable to fight back in the face of disaster?”
The letter was just at the end of the first page. Song Qing turned the letter over, but before he could read it carefully, there was a change in his sea of consciousness.
The ‘door’ that was sealed was originally dark gray, but as song Qing flipped the letter, one of the dark doors suddenly lit up. Only the other half was still sealed..
