Seeing this, Dongyun's heart sank, and he shouted urgently.
"Xiao Jia!"
"exist."
Gabriel also knew the danger and used her speed-moving technique again.
The environment has changed again.
Before Dongyun could even get a clear look at his surroundings, he heard the sound of running behind him.
He quickly turned around and saw a yellowish-brown walking fish, about the size of a yak, that looked like a toad.
I go!
"Xiao Jia!"
Dongyun called out to Gabriel again, and without a moment's hesitation, he drew his dagger and rushed forward.
He had to shield himself, with Xiao Jia and the others behind him.
However, he heard a "bang" behind him, followed by exclamations from Nadeshiko and Shima Rin.
He instinctively wanted to turn around, but the approaching walking fish made him restrain himself.
Just as the walking fish was about to crash, Dongyun forcefully plunged the stone knife in his hand into the walking fish's eye (humorously).
The next second, the walking fish knocked him down.
Dongyun, in pain, felt nothing and pulled hard on the walking fish's eye before collapsing to the ground.
"Pfft!"
Large amounts of bright red blood and black worms gushed from the walking fish's eyes.
Such an excessive amount of bleeding, and such disgusting worms.
Dongyun shook off the bugs that landed on her, quickly stood up, and glanced in the direction of the girls.
He was relieved to see that the girls were alright and that a much larger walking fish lay on its side near them.
Just as Dongyun stood up, about to deliver another blow to the berserk walking fish with one blind eye, a familiar beam of light struck the walking fish precisely.
"besides!"
Shima Rin's voice rang out.
Within the angelic ring's glow, one walking fish after another appeared, while one beam of light after another shot out, killing one walking fish after another.
When Shinonome turned around, he saw Gabriel using magic to wreak havoc.
Then, he saw Xiao Jia point at him, and a white sphere floated towards him, wobbling gently.
The ball of light disappeared the moment it touched his body, as if it had merged into his body. He felt a warm current flowing through the part of his body where the ball of light had entered, and this warm current quickly spread throughout his body, filling him with power.
The pain and bruises he suffered from being hit by the walking fish also disappeared.
"Wow, so many!"
Nadeshiko Kagamihara was startled to see the walking fish appearing one after another in the darkness.
How come there are so many walking fish on the cruise ship?
"I can't use my teleportation spell; I'll likely end up back on the deck! There are just too many of these walking fish; I can't kill them all. You guys need to think of something to do!"
Gabriel was very anxious as she felt her magic power being rapidly depleted.
Their location appeared to be a large, open indoor space, with walking fish constantly attacking them from all sides. These walking fish seemed fearless; even after a dozen had died, they continued to surge forward. This kept Gabriel constantly on her toes, having to watch out not only for those in front, behind, and to the sides, but also for…
"On the head!"
Upon hearing a loud noise from the ceiling, Shinonome immediately warned Gabriel to be on guard.
Unfortunately, his reminder came too late.
Gabriel looked up and saw a shattered ceiling.
"boom!"
A giant black walking fish crashed to the ground, crushing two walking fish that were rushing towards Gabriel and the others.
But beneath these two walking fish, there was neither Gabriel, nor Shinonome, nor Nadeshiko, nor Shima Rin.
They ran away.
Gabriel used her speed spell once again to take everyone away.
so close!
Bathed in moonlight, the crimson deck was slumped on the ground. Gabriel was sitting there.
What she just witnessed almost scared her to death. Luckily, she reacted quickly and used her teleportation technique to get everyone on the boat, otherwise they would have perished there.
"call!"
Shima Rin let out a tense breath.
Perhaps attracted by the commotion they were making elsewhere, all the walking fish on the deck disappeared, leaving only the four of them there, still shaken.
"it is good……"
Just as Kagamihara Nadeshiko was about to say "How dangerous!" with lingering fear, she realized that her words might attract walking fish, so she swallowed her words before even uttering the first one.
Just then, she felt someone poke her.
She turned her head and saw a notebook with awkward and incorrect Japanese writing on it.
We're going to the top floor to find weapons, food, and a safe room. Don't speak, communicate in text.
Kagamihara Nadeshiko looked up and saw that the person holding the notebook was Shinonome. She immediately understood where the notebook came from.
System Store.
Knowing that he couldn't speak, Dongyun exchanged his money for a notebook and a ballpoint pen at the store.
Actually, he was hesitant about whether to use his Sun Points to exchange for one or two grenades and send all the walking fish flying into the sky.
While they were on a cruise ship, and although the power of the grenades probably wouldn't sink it, the sound of the grenades exploding could attract more walking fish, or even other monsters, like the giant lanternfish that Xiao Jia saw.
The walking fish on the bow deck were all attracted by the commotion they had made with the other walking fish. However, it was not a good place to stay. If the walking fish found that no one was there, they might come back. Moreover, there might be other walking fish in the sea coming aboard to sunbathe on the deck. It would be better for them to hurry up and go to the upper deck of the cruise ship.
Dongyun briefly exchanged words with the three girls using his notebook, and without daring to rest for long, he tiptoed into the cabin to find the stairs leading to the upper level.
To avoid Xiaojia being in an embarrassing situation where she has no magic power, after they find a safe room, he and Xiaojia might have to do something that Nadeshiko would be willing to do, something that Rin would blush about.
To be honest, he had no desire for that kind of thing at this moment, but for everyone's safety and to prevent Xiao Jia's magic power from running out, he had to have some thoughts even if he had none.
Chapter 139 A Tribute to the Legendary Wrestler
Luxury cruise ship.
Golden light illuminated the dark corridor.
Shinonome, Gabriel, Shima Rin, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko walked very carefully with each step.
There are many walking fish on the cruise ship now. We can't make too much noise, because it would be dangerous if the walking fish heard us.
After losing their weapons and equipment, such as spears, javelins, bows and arrows, and baskets, Shinonome, Shima Rin, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko were essentially rendered powerless. Their only remaining asset, Gabriel, had limited magical power and might not have enough to kill the walking fish on the cruise ship.
With no other option, they could only hide and wait until dawn to see what would happen.
Dongyun didn't know why there were so many walking fish on the cruise ship, but he reasonably suspected it was related to the blood moon. After all, the walking fish on the rocky shore only appeared during the blood moon, so perhaps the walking fish on the cruise ship were the same.
If the blood moon disappears, perhaps the walking fish on the cruise ship will also disappear.
but……
Will it get light? If it does, when will it get light?
Thinking of the rapidly setting sun, Dongyun couldn't help but feel worried. He knew there was something wrong with the cruise ship, but he hadn't expected it to be this serious.
They thought that with Xiao Jia and the others, they would be invincible. But they never expected that being invincible didn't mean Xiao Jia could handle enemies from the sea and from the sky.
Walking fish in the sea, giant eyeballs in the sky, and then thinking of the monsters described in the Rainforest Herbalist's Guide deep in the jungle, Dongyun couldn't help but sigh softly.
What worried him even more was that Xiao Jia had told him earlier in the outer cabin area that their place of residence was not coastal land, but a huge island, and there were many more islands around their island.
Finally, the group of four arrived at the top floor of the cruise ship, which is the 12th floor.
Looking at the cruise ship's signage, they knew that most of the 12th floor was open-air, and in order from bow to stern, it included a viewing café, a viewing bar, a helipad, a sun deck, a barbecue bar, a mini-golf course, and a VIP restaurant.
That's right, golf.
From the top deck of the cruise ship to the stern, there is an indoor golf area, and the roof is specially marked as a skylight glass roof.
Because of the previous experience of walking fish covering the bow deck, Shinonome and the others were extra careful when they reached the top deck. Gabriel even used a spell to conceal her own aura and presence to scout the area, and only called them up after confirming that there were no monsters on the top deck.
Upon arriving at the top deck of the cruise ship, Dongyun immediately spotted the helicopter on the helipad.
Under the crimson moonlight, he couldn't make out the color of the helicopter very clearly, but he could tell that it was a light color and, from a distance, it seemed undamaged and possibly still operational.
