Chapter 683: Chapter 683: 3 only
One crawled in, two crawled in, and three crawled in!
However, they had overestimated the space in the hold, the small hold was half-full of fish, and it was hard to accommodate three Fish Monsters the size of grown men!
The third mermaid only got halfway in before it was attacked by the other two mermaids!
Unable to get to the fish, it was particularly anxious and immediately turned its aim towards Asarina, who was closest!
Asarina was on guard, she lifted the long sword by her side and fiercely slashed at it!
The hardness of the fish scales was unthinkable. The weapon was not even as useful as a bamboo pole, which could at least help them maintain a distance from the mermaids.
At the critical moment, Along rushed in, striking the mermaid’s dorsal fin with a knife!
The blade collided with the dorsal fin, causing Along’s hand to feel numb! The mermaid’s dorsal fin was only nicked a little, which shows its toughness.
The mermaid was irritated, the umbrella-like collar on its neck trembled non-stop, secreting a transparent mucus from its mouth, looking like it was going to squirt out.
“Back off!” Bai Youwei shouted!
Along dodged sideways, and the mermaid followed suit!
A lightning bolt struck down immediately after! With a big bang, the mermaid was thrown back several meters!
Asarina seized the opportunity and swung her sword at the mermaid’s neck!
The blade made a cut and drew blood, but the wound was not deep because it was blocked by the swelling skin on the neck, the cut missed the vitals.
Asarina held the sword tightly and, during the few seconds when the mermaid was dazed by the electric shock, pushed it forcefully into the hold!
“Along! Bamboo!” Asarina shouted, putting all her strength into closing the hatch!
At the same time, she quickly took the bamboo pole in her hand and placed it across to lock the hatch.
Before Along could even place a few more bamboo poles he had retrieved, the hatch began to vibrate violently! It almost flung open!
Asarina pressed down on the hatch with all her might, her forehead lined with bulging veins, and her muscles strained!
“Hurry up!!!” She yelled forcefully.
The mermaid inside struggled again!
Before Along even had the chance to wedge with the bamboo pole, he threw himself onto it, pressing the hatch down with all his strength!
Seeing the predicament, Bai Youwei furrowed her brows, turned to the cockpit and shouted: “Xiaoxin! Come out and help!”
Asarina and Along alone couldn’t possibly restrain the three mermaids underneath! Although Pan Xiaoxin was a child, he had at least been through the labyrinth twice and should have a decent amount of strength.
Bai Youwei opened the dollhouse again and called out their Teacher Cheng to help. The young and old pressed down hard on both sides of the bamboo pole.
The mermaids struggled wildly!
Even though these creatures came on land to forage, they were all water creatures. Once they were out of the water for too long, they would die of dehydration.
The hatch kept being lifted by the mermaids and was pushed back down by Asarina and the others!
The strength of the three mermaids was far too great, even though they had four people, they were gradually unable to hold on, as Bai Youwei frowned and stood aside, ready to release an electric shock whenever a mermaid came out.
Just then, a staggering figure emerged from the dollhouse —
He was still tied up and gagged. With a surge of unknown strength, he stood up and hobbled out of the dollhouse, falling straight towards the railing!
Everyone was taken aback!
“Aqing!” Asarina got up to chase!
Bai Youwei’s face changed dramatically: “Don’t let go!”
Once Asarina let go, a mermaid violently pushed open the hatch! One of the mermaids escaped! Along, Teacher Cheng, and Pan Xiaoxin tried to lock it again, but another mermaid poked half its body out, trying to bite them!
Everyone scrambled back in panic, Bai Youwei suppressed one of them with an electric shock, the other one escaped, causing havoc!
But Asarina failed to catch up with Aqing, watched helplessly as he fell off the boat and into the water!
