Luo Di hung inside the cave for a full four hours.

There was no struggle, very obedient.

The reason was simple. Shortly after Pan Yang was turned into an umbilical cord, another monster in the cave, perhaps having just witnessed that indescribable scene and becoming anxious, tried to take advantage of the moment when Pan Yang was just chosen to escape.

As a result,

once it started to struggle, the fibers on its body grew wildly, burrowing entirely into its body, even completely invading the brain area.

When the blood and flesh fibers completely invaded,

the monster's face directly split open in the middle, with tendrils floating between the rift, and its form changed dramatically, becoming a slave creature of the blood and flesh fibers.

The fibers themselves were extremely dangerous, even if Luo Di could really break free, he would definitely be discovered by the other party.

The best way was to [wait].

Who knew this wait would last four hours, with no resources from Vortex Town arriving, not a sound from the outside.

It was certain that the school teachers couldn't find this place, or couldn't enter this cave... another possibility was that Teacher Guo hadn't even noticed their "disappearance".

Just as Luo Di was considering the worst-case scenario, preparing to fight to the death and forcibly escape.

A fiber monster with a split face and dislocated limbs crawled in, like another transformer trying to escape but invaded by fibers.

However,

when this transformer came to Luo Di, a change began to occur.

The twisted posture gradually returned to normal, the disordered limbs realigned, and the split face closed.

Tearing off a layer of makeup mask, a young girl's face appeared.

Pink lips whispered beside the ear: "Don't move."

Wu Wen gently touched the blood and flesh fibers on Luo Di's body with her fingers, and these things surprisingly began to peel off, gradually abandoning Luo Di as prey.

Without any action,

Luo Di fell straight down,

without having time for conversation, Wu Wen placed a finger against his lips and used these blood and flesh fibers for a simple makeup treatment for Luo Di.

Holding hands, they left the cave.

Indeed, as Luo Di thought, there were several more separate caves outside for storing "prey." Yu Ze and Miss Song were also rescued by Wu Wen, currently hiding in the dark waiting for the two to arrive.

The team reunited,

the rumored monster seemed not to be here at the moment, making it an excellent opportunity for them to escape.

Luo Di's first thought for an escape plan was[passage], and a related hollow structure appeared in his left palm.

Having experienced Outer Realm combat, he could now use it proficiently, though not enough to create a passage directly to Vortex Town, but escaping from here was doable.

"No!"

As he made this suggestion,

he was met with a joint rejection from Wu Wen and Yu Ze.

Though the Outer Realm passage technology was advanced and had a high priority on the spatial level,

the space blockade of the Fishing Village was also formidable. Since the opponent could disrupt Teacher Guo's vortex, they might also block the transmission of the passage.

The most crucial part was,

if this Outer Realm technology was detected by the other party, they could very well consider Luo Di as a 'traitor spy of the corner,' and the outcome would likely involve more than just being tied up.

The only way to escape was to walk out.

Silently proceeding along this damp cave, they didn't walk far before reaching the end, only to find it wasn't an exit but a stretch of seawater.

They were in an underwater cave and could only leave by swimming.

Wu Wen started to move her fingers; as long as everyone's body was immersed in the seawater, the makeup effect immediately took over, transforming everyone into fishermen.

They only needed to blend into the fishing queue, and at least they could return to the Fishing Village, or find an opportunity to swim out of the village's boundary.

The team members entered the water one after the other, and after being touched by Wu Wen, they began to swell and emit a foul odor. After a period of swimming, no monsters attacked, indicating the disguise worked.

This underwater cave was deeper than expected, reaching depths where sunlight couldn't penetrate, estimated by the water pressure to be around a kilometer deep.

Although it was completely dark visually, the other perceptions were still functional for the team members.

As Luo Di swam out of the cave range and was about to ascend, he tasted something on his tongue.

It was an extremely strong fishy and foul smell,

richer than the scent in any area of the Fishing Village, and mixed with a hint of death.

Something very large died below.

As the sense of taste spread, an exaggerated scene unfolded within his mind.

"So big!"

A "fish" nearly a kilometer long, more accurately a "mermaid," with the ratio of human to fish being about 1:3.

Only the head and part of the body presented a human appearance, even so, the skin surface was full of fish scale structures.

And, it was already dead.

Even with good "preservation treatment" performed by someone, the face was mostly skeletal, with only a little black hair still hanging in the cranial area.

The rumored monster lingered around the mermaid's abdomen, inserting a large umbilical cord in its hand.

Visible to the naked eye,

crystalline fish eggs were being expelled through this umbilical cord, floating in the seawater, waiting to hatch.

Such large umbilical cords were not limited to just one, at least twenty others were attached... Once an umbilical cord was exhausted and could no longer produce eggs, it would be removed by the creature.

"The missing creatures would be taken to the cave, turned into umbilical cords and attached to the mermaids, producing new fish through them. The fish would be caught by the fishermen, brought home to eat or sell, exposing more creatures seeking refuge in the fishing village to these fish.

The whole cycle, the entire fishing village, revolved around one thing.

Could it be this guy's goal is to..."

At that moment,

the Faceless Man, who was currently "planting seeds," suddenly paused his actions and turned his head, facing up with his featureless face.

General fishermen wouldn't dive to such depths.

"Damn it!"

Realizing exposure, the squad members each used their means, swimming towards the surface at the fastest speed.

Strangely, the expected pursuit didn't come.

Water splashed,

successfully reaching the shore.

However, the scene before them was strange; the fog that should have shrouded the fishing village had completely dissipated, and the fishermen who should have been working were all back indoors, even locking their doors.

The cliff fishing village presented an eerie silence.

Meanwhile,

the calm sea behind them suddenly began to stir,

like human skin, suddenly raising small fleshy bumps, densely packed! Following that, the bumps exploded and something began to grow from them.

These were the things hidden in the thick fog earlier.

Previously hidden in the fog because the other party didn't wish to expose too much, didn't want to disturb the normal life of the fishing village, didn't want to expose its true form.

But now,

the fog has been removed, indicating the other's patience was completely exhausted.

No longer wanting to play hide and seek, but aiming to directly end the intruders.

Tens of thousands of blood-flesh fibers reached out from the sea, all pointing towards the four on the shore.

Swish!

In an instant, they all attacked!

Like a hundred-meter-high wave of flesh was about to engulf all life on the shore.

Wu Wen, however, took a step forward at this moment, offering combat advice like a leader: "Give it your all, try to cut down these flesh things, I have a way to keep us alive..."

As she spoke,

the skin on her body slid off like a robe, revealing her flawless, crystalline pink body beneath.

Her belly button,

a vortex of flesh gradually formed, from which a bright red longsword grew.

Yu Ze waved his hand, scattering talismans in all directions.

He held the copper coin sword in one hand, his form hidden among the talismans.

Any approaching blood-flesh fibers would immediately be burned by the talismans, cut by the copper coin, or dissolved by some strange power.

Even if something managed to touch Yu Ze's body,

a disheveled-haired monster would rush out instantly, tearing the intruder to pieces, with the fully monsterized Song Huiwen constantly lurking around.

At the same time,

a scorching sun gradually rose, its high temperature directly affecting the sea and the blood-flesh fibers, as the environment's temperature soared.

Upon closer inspection,

it wasn't a sun at all, but a Hell moon with lava flowing on its surface.

Luo Di exhibited the purest Hell Mode, intending to use Hell's dryness and heat to confront these extremely strange flesh entities.

Holding the black knife,

every strike akin to handling shredded meat in a kitchen,

or conducting the purest Great Slaughter in the depths of Hell.

...

In the deep sea,

watching the severed, dried blood-flesh fibers,

the Faceless Man appeared somewhat surprised, as if he hadn't seen such young people for a long time, with his smooth, featureless face seeming to have something wriggling beneath.

He temporarily abandoned the huge mermaid, opting to swim towards the sea surface proactively.

The tin attack he had just initiated,

was merely a small clump of tumor plucked from the surface of his skin...
