Chapter 104: Too Evil
"Kevin, you’re such a bad guy." Celula grinned, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Toti pinched her nose, then suddenly had an idea. She squealed, "Captain, are you planning to collect these bodies and dump them near the Survivor fleets?"
Kevin chuckled and nodded. "I’ll have Fish Fiend tow a small boat and quietly follow those Survivor ships."
"Then, late at night, I’ll secretly dump the bodies into the sea to attract more Eldritch Entities for them."
Toti burst out laughing, clutching her stomach. "Captain, that’s way too evil."
Kevin spread his hands. "They came to rob me, so they should be ready to get played."
Fifty nautical miles away, three ships were sailing side by side.
Captain Andrew raised his binoculars, scanning the sea around them.
"What a nice night. No Eldritch Entities attacking. This is great." Captain Cosby raised his glass and took a graceful sip of red wine. "By tomorrow, we’ll catch up to those pretty girls."
"Hey, Andrew, stop looking. No Eldritch Entities are coming tonight." Captain Tiger Woods was chewing on Ocular Barnacle meat, waving a hand covered in blood.
Andrew lowered his binoculars and frowned at his two allies. "It’s always good to be careful. Strictly speaking, after midnight tonight, our rest period is over."
"I’m a Survivor with an A-Tier Talent." Captain Cosby didn’t seem worried. "No Eldritch Entity can threaten me when I’m well-fed."
Captain Tiger Woods licked his fingers and laughed. "I hope they show up. I’ve been eating Ocular Barnacles for three days straight. I could use a change of taste."
Andrew shot him a look. "If you keep eating like that, you’ll end up as a monster just like those Eldritch Entities."
Tiger Woods didn’t care. He bit into another half of an Ocular Barnacle. "You idiots don’t get it, do you? Eating the flesh of these Eldritch Entities gives you superpowers."
He turned his head to look at a thin girl standing on the deck.
Then, a red light flashed in his eyes. The girl was instantly covered in the glow and became trapped in an Immobilized Status.
It was the ability from the Ocular Barnacle — [The Fixing Gaze].
"Tiger Woods, what the hell are you doing?" Andrew angrily pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Tiger Woods.
Tiger Woods spread his hands, a crazy look on his face. "Relax, I’m just showing you the power of Eldritch Entity flesh. You guys really should eat more of it."
He stood up, loosened his belt, and walked toward the girl. "To be honest, Andrew, the women on your ship are way too skinny. I wish Stephanie could be the one serving me instead."
Tiger Woods lifted the immobilized girl onto his shoulder and turned toward the cabin.
Captain Cosby watched Tiger Woods’s twisted face and the green drool dripping from the corner of his mouth. He frowned and said, "I bet his Sanity has dropped below thirty points."
Captain Andrew snorted. "That idiot will turn into a monster just like the Eldritch Entities sooner or later."
Captain Cosby chuckled. "Aren’t you going to save that girl? She’s one of your crew members."
Captain Andrew spat and said, "Only Lady Stephanie is worth saving. Oh, I forgot to mention—that girl bit off the dicks of several of our crew members."
"Forget it. That idiot’s Sanity is so low right now, he wouldn’t listen to you anyway." Captain Cosby chuckled and was about to take another sip of his red wine.
He had bought it at a high price from a Survivor on the top ten leaderboard.
But just as the wine touched his lips, Captain Cosby frowned. "What’s that smell? Why does it stink so bad?"
Captain Andrew looked at the table full of Ocular Barnacle leftovers and snorted. "It’s those rotten seafood you guys have been eating."
Cosby immediately stood up and said coldly, "I can still tell the difference between the smell of a monster and the smell of a human. That’s the stench of corpses. Andrew, did you hide any bodies on your ship?"
Andrew tensed up and jumped to his feet. "Why would I do something that stupid? It’s past midnight now. The smell of corpses will attract Eldritch Entities."
As soon as he finished speaking, Andrew’s eyelids twitched.
He saw corpses falling from the sky into the sea, splashing water everywhere.
The foul seawater hit Andrew’s face, sending a chill down his spine.
"Bodies falling from the sky? How is that possible?" Captain Cosby wiped his face and stood up too.
He pulled out his long knife and looked up cautiously. Above them, a Dragon Form Blood Mist Mist Phantom was circling back and forth with four Falcon Form Mist Phantoms.
The bodies were being thrown off the back of the Dragon Form Mist Phantom.
It was the first time Captain Andrew and Captain Cosby had ever seen anything like this.
Before they could figure out what was going on, thick fog suddenly rose from the sea around them.
A familiar, spine-chilling aura drifted toward them.
Soon, rustling sounds came from the water. Countless tentacles emerged from the sea and reached toward their ships.
"Damn it! We’ve been ambushed! Everyone, get ready to fight!" Andrew roared.
Captain Cosby didn’t care about his red wine anymore. He rushed straight to his own ship, trying to gather his crew for battle.
The crew members were still having sweet dreams in their cabins. Woken up suddenly by Captain Cosby, they looked confused.
"What’s going on? Did we catch up to those rich newbies?"
"The captain is so fired up. Looks like it’s time to save Miss Stephanie."
"Don’t anyone try to stop me. I’m going to carry Miss Stephanie out of here myself."
"Move out of the way. Miss Stephanie’s panties and stockings are mine."
While these Survivors were still half-asleep and getting dressed, the cabin window suddenly shattered.
They looked through the broken glass and saw a Fish Fiend holding a pistol, staring at them with a mocking grin.
They looked past the Fish Fiend and saw the pile of bodies stacked behind it. Their eyes went wide. "What is that? Oh my god... What is he doing?"
Then the Fish Fiend pulled out a grenade and yanked the pin.
Boom! The Fish Fiend blew himself up right in front of the Survivors.
The blast flipped the small boat he was standing on, sending dozens of corpses tumbling into the sea.
The sight sent chills down the Survivors’ spines.
Having survived this long on the terrifying sea, they knew exactly what it meant when bodies fell into the water.
"Damn it! Someone check the time!"
"Please don’t be midnight. Please don’t be midnight.
"Shit! It’s 11:60."
The Survivors forgot about their half-buttoned clothes and scrambled to grab their weapons.
But the thick fog on the sea quickly drifted through the windows into the cabin.
A blood-red tentacle slithered through the window and wrapped around one of the Survivors.
Before he could even react, the tip of the tentacle split open, revealing sharp teeth.
The Survivor was completely swallowed by the tentacle. He didn’t even have time to scream before he was sucked down through the tube inside it.
Seeing this, the Survivors went crazy.
They grabbed their weapons. Some fired guns. Some swung blades. They all attacked the tentacle like madmen.
But they didn’t notice that on the other side of the cabin, two more tentacles had slipped through the windows.
Those two tentacles crept up silently behind the crew members, opened their terrifying mouths, and devoured the remaining Survivors one by one.
Right then.
Tiger Woods had just pulled down his pants and was about to get on top of the girl.
His face was already covered in pus-filled blisters, and his lips had swollen up. He looked like an anglerfish, with grotesque fangs sticking out.
The girl’s eyes were wild with terror, but she couldn’t move a muscle.
Tears streamed down her face as she braced herself for what was coming next.
But then, a tentacle suddenly burst through the door and wrapped around Tiger Woods’ neck.
Tiger Woods let out a scream. His body, already twisted close to becoming a monster, mutated even further. He turned into a Frog Monster.
The girl screamed in fear, but at least she could move again.
She didn’t dare go anywhere near the Frog Monster or the tentacle. She ran out of the cabin as fast as she could.
The tentacle and the Frog Monster wrestled with each other. In the end, Tiger Woods’ mutated form was swallowed up by the tentacle and became part of the Eldritch Entity.
On the deck.
A swarm of Eldritch Entities was crawling up.
The Survivors fought like crazy, but they couldn’t stop the endless wave of monsters coming at them.
Captain Cosby was in despair now. "God damn it! Who’s trying to screw me over? These corpses have drawn at least five hundred Eldritch Entities! This is gonna kill me!"
On the deck of another ship nearby, Captain Andrew kicked an Eldritch Entity away and roared, "Don’t kick those bodies into the sea! They’ll bring even more enemies!"
When the Survivors heard that, they felt hopeless.
Because every time they killed an Eldritch Entity, the corpse somehow ended up falling into the water.
Captain Andrew took a closer look and noticed a group of Fish Fiends hiding among the Eldritch Entities.
They didn’t attack the Survivors like the other monsters did. Instead, they sneaked up after each kill, grabbed the bodies, and kicked them into the sea.
Almost every time a body hit the water, it attracted about ten more Eldritch Entities.
Kill one. Ten more show up.
How were they supposed to fight that?
"AAAH! Those damn Fish Fiends! Everyone, kill the Fish Fiends first!" Captain Andrew gritted his teeth in fury.
