Chapter 417: The Strength of the Young Lady
Chapter 417: The Strength of the Young Lady
Reflecting on the first person Han Dong killed when he arrived in the “Mist” world, it was Ms. Carmody.
Her body could be assembled without limit, which would be difficult for an average person to handle, but… in Han Dong’s eyes, it was not particularly challenging.
Of course, Ms. Carmody might just be a low-ranking believer.
Additionally, Han Dong heard a key term from Miss Nicole.
“Calling upon the ‘Void’… not the ‘Deep Sea’?”
After some time adapting, Nicole no longer stutters significantly when speaking.
“Deep Sea… is just part of the Void.
A substantial number of life forms have come to you… because these unruly believers were conducting indiscriminate summoning worldwide, even opening some doors… to deeper parts of the Void.”
No wonder… even the monsters in the mist kill each other. They originally didn’t belong to the same kind.”
“Are you willing to help me…” Nicole asked softly.
“Hmm.”
Of course, Han Dong was only verbally agreeing.
The concealed event didn’t necessarily need to be completed. Han Dong wasn’t particularly trusting of this girl from the Deep Sea in the first place. If something went wrong due to misuse somewhere along the way,
Han Dong would need to weigh up the pros and cons. Firstly, he would need to verify whether Miss Nicole was of any useful value.
As for the method of verification, Han Dong had a means prepared in advance.
……
When the school bus reached the middle of the mountain road, it slowed to a halt.
“Mr. Nicholas… we can hear the sound of a mountain spring here, the stream should be nearby. Shall we choose some people to go fetch water, or shall we all head out?”
“I’ll go alone.”
Han Dong had already discussed this matter with Nicole – she seemed quite interested in the clear mountain spring.
He took Nicole’s hand to prevent her from dishonestly following her off the bus.
The sensation of her touch was completely different from a human’s.
Her skin was covered with a layer of slick liquid with very low viscosity, resulting in a cool, slippery sensation.
Han Dong carried two gallon-sized water buckets, quickly diving into the hazy fog of the mountains.
……
As the two of them left.
A conservative woman on the bus, who was quite dissatisfied with the foul-mouthed author, whispered,
“Mr. David… should we just go? We could escape from this terrifying girl… I have a feeling that Nicholas may have been charmed by her.
Such beautiful appearance, she might be the reincarnation of a Hell Succubus.”
Being foul-mouthed is indeed a bad habit.
Many people on the bus didn’t like Han Dong, but they couldn’t ignore the contributions he made.
At that moment, Han Dong’s faithful fanboy, the protagonist David, immediately objected.
“No… some things happened in the supermarket before, which you guys don’t know about. If it weren’t for Mr. Nicholas, we might have already become monster food.
This time, choosing to explore the mist, without Mr. Nicholas, we’d almost certainly be dead if we encountered danger.”
The protagonist’s halo is indeed significant.
The woman didn’t say anything else.
Taking advantage of the time when Han Dong went to fetch water, everyone took a rest, relaxing their taut nerves on the seats.
Who knew, just after closing their eyes for a while… Thump!
Something heavily slapped the bus window, scaring quite a few people and causing them to tumble onto the aisle.
“What is that!?”
As David turned his head and scanned around the bus, he couldn’t see anything.
Thump!
Then, another heavy slapping sound came from the adjacent window… this time, it even left a white palm print on the window.
“The window will break if this continues… Open a door! Everyone, keep your eyes on the door, but don’t shoot! Gunshots will attract more monsters, we’ll deal with it using cold weapons.”
David concentrated his attention, standing at the front entrance with an axe in his hand.
A young man who usually liked outdoor adventures took out a homemade crossbow and aimed it at the door.
Sizzle~
The moment the front car door opened, the monster seemed to have noticed the entrance too.
Splat, splat, splat~~ The palmy imprints continued to spread towards the car door.
Predicting that the timing was about right.
David swung his axe straight down!
Crack!
The axe successfully cut into the target, and gray blood began to seep from the wound.
A fog-colored, human-shaped monster was revealed.
Its face was completely empty like a slick boiled egg, its eyes and various senses were all concentrated in the palm of its hand… It used its palm to tap on the window to observe the situation inside.
David’s swing was only enough to cut open the target’s shoulder, not enough to kill it.
Kacha kacha kacha~~
The originally smooth head of the monster suddenly split open to reveal a huge mouth big enough to bite off David’s head in one bite.
In the critical moment!
Swish!
A metal crossbow arrow went right through the monster’s head, killing it in one shot!
“Good job!!”
David, still shaken, stared at the falling body of the monster and immediately gave the young man a thumbs up.
Just as everyone in the vehicle thought the danger had passed… the continuous sound of glass getting smacked started up again.
“Close the door!!”
It was not just one monster this time.
Seemingly sensing the death of its companion, these monsters that could hide with the help of the mist, immediately surrounded the school bus. There were ten of them, maybe even more.
Crack…
One of the car windows already had a crack.
Just when everyone started to panic… something strange happened.
In the mist, abruptly twenty pink octopus tentacles, with suction cups on them, lashed out, accurately wrapping around the invisible monsters… The monsters within were dragged into the mist within five seconds.
Leaving the people left inside the vehicle completely stupefied.
………
View from Han Dong’s perspective.
Twenty meters away from the school bus, inside the mist.
Han Dong had been leading Nicole to fetch water from the mountain, and let Nicole recuperate along the way.
The time was just offset, as if the monsters hidden in the mountains had deliberately waited for Han Dong and Nicole to leave before they started attacking the people in the vehicle.
Little did they know, these monsters could not escape from the Little Demon Eye that Han Dong had fully activated.
Just as Han Dong was preparing to rush back to provide support… Miss Nicole suddenly moved.
She slowly raised her right arm, and small pink tentacles immediately grew from the palm of her hand.
The seemingly very weak octopus tentacles grew at super speed in a short time, immediately transforming into fierce tentacles sweeping around the monsters hidden around the bus.
Once touched by the suction cup.
The monsters instantly lost their ability to move, were ground into dust by the tentacles within a short time and absorbed, all taken into Nicole’s body.
This scene stunned Han Dong.
The power verification originally set during the water fetching time was no longer needed.
The backgrounds of this deep-sea little missy, might be even more terrifying than Han Dong had anticipated.
“‘Fog Eye’, a life form from the Grey Belt, is very weak… It moves in groups, specializing in preying on other weaker life forms.”
Nicole briefly explained the monster information to Han Dong.
“Hmm.”
“I can clearly sense that there is a high purity water resource not far away… I need to cleanse my body, I’ve been on the land for too long, my body has a lot of impurities.”
“…Alright.”
For some reason, Han Dong felt that what would happen next might take a strange turn.
