The waves were eerily calm without any ripples, yet they drew every ship deeper, emitting a bizarre and terrifying aura that made everyone shiver.
everyone realized that the trace of blood-scented sea breeze at their nostrils was not an illusion but the flesh and blood being chewed by these terrifying monsters, the sound of bones crushing sent chills down their spines.
"Why are there so many terrifying monsters here?"
"Damn it! Can we run?"
"The ship won't move!"
"What in the world is going on?"
a melodious singing voice was slowly rising in front, and the fog gradually dissipated under the sway of the song.
Everyone looked ahead with doubtful eyes.
Amongst countless monsters, there sat a mermaid covered in scales, her body swaying as she sang; her beauty shimmered like crystal-clear water dazzling with light.
Accompanied by that intoxicating song.
many were as if spellbound, standing stupefied, their eyes flashing with a strange light as they stared at the mermaid.
It was as if they were in an extremely cold snowy field.
And the mermaid's song was... the last warmth, embracing each one of them, trapping everyone in a mesmerized state, unable to extricate themselves!
"It's not right! Definitely not right!!"
"Wake up, all of you!"
Many spiritually aware individuals roared, the burst of Spiritual Energy making everyone shudder!
Night Guard also fiercely bit his tongue at that moment, the intense pain snapping him out of the intoxicating stupor!
His eyelids twitched violently.
That was no beautiful mermaid!
Her body was entirely rotten, bloated... Her face a bloody blur with remnants of limbs and flesh in her mouth!
The song heard was a grating, screeching, unintelligible eerie chant!
"The real danger isn't the monsters around us! It's that sinister mermaid!"
Fang Li growled, "It's the most terrifying entity!"
Although the sinister mermaid appeared small compared to the monsters around her... on closer inspection, one would realize that all nearby phantoms were actually from deep sea creatures.
The huge deep sea creatures seemed to be circling the other, influenced by the song as if controlled.
"It has summoned these monsters from the depths of the sea!"
"Sinister power! It has submerged a vast range of sea into its Domain!"
"We must take action! Stop it!"
Many people burst forth in full force, launching a ferocious attack towards the center where the sinister mermaid was!
However, the next instant,
The sinister mermaid's voice turned piercingly shrill, the deep sea creatures around immediately moved to shield her!
Despite the deep sea creatures' massive size and being fleshly bodies, their bodies were perforated with blood holes! Though these were not fatal, they seemed to have infuriated them, their eyes blood-red as they roared!
The surrounding waves stirred! The other phantom monsters also seemed ready to spring into action!
Everyone's faces turned pale!
And the sinister mermaid's song became even shriller, louder, causing everyone's eardrums to ache!
"We can't wait any longer!"
"Only by taking down that mermaid can we survive!"
Many roared and leaped forward, stepping on the bodies of huge deep sea monsters, flying towards her!
Although massive, the deep sea creatures were clumsy and not agile, and seemingly under the control of the mermaid's song, many could not act on their own, meaning only a few were controlled by the sinister mermaid.
"There's a chance!" Night Guard and Fang Li said solemnly, "Let's go too!"
The seventh layer of the world... Although there were more people, the same.... The land was riddled with terrible dangers, and catastrophic group annihilations were far more common than on the previous level, one misstep could lead to being wiped out here!
Every person on these dozen ships had to fight with all their might!
But the sinister mermaid was horrifyingly laughing, its song increasingly disturbing, creating massive rippling waves from its center!
The sea demons that had previously ambushed the ships emerged! They were densely packed, making one's skin crawl, each one staring intently at the people!
"So, those sea demons were all its minions, and it has been watching us all along! Wanting to ensnare us all!"
"Quite the appetite!"
The people burst into fierce combat, clashing violently with the many rushing sea demons!
Their target was the singing sinister mermaid.
Everyone could see that they were deep within the sinister power's Domain, and the mermaid was the core of it all... but in reality, getting close to her was not so easy.
The deep sea creatures roared, stirring the crowd and the waves! Everyone had to be careful to dodge, otherwise, they would be harshly slammed into the sea! To be devoured cleanly by numerous cannibal sharks below!
And the sea demons, with blood-red eyes and swarming without a concept of life or death, relentlessly blocked their path with intense killing intent!
The closer they got to the sinister mermaid, the more ear-piercing her song became! Their bodies would be affected, feeling an illusory-like immense pressure and resistance, uncontrollably trembling!
"We'll cover others!"
"Leave the assault to us!"
A group of people... charged ferociously!
Including Night Guard and Fang Li.
This group was incredibly fast, their expressions unusually calm, they were among the strongest and most well-backed in the crowd of these dozen ships.
