Boom!! Boom!!!
The house on the distant shore was blown to pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle (send someone to check it out!), gurgle wow gurgle gurgle (the sacrifice must not go wrong!)" A deep-sea creature twice the size of other merfolk issued orders. Other merfolk, aside from those guarding the "sacrifice" on the surface, all rushed out.
Far away, the Tiangang with gathered energy in its eyes turned its head: "Including that big merfolk, there are a total of seven in the hall."
"Looks like there aren't many people left. Should we infiltrate or..." Tianjie glanced at the exhausted crowd, except for Tiangang, and paused. "Let's just infiltrate."
"Wait, what if there are merfolk hiding, and what if we just barge in like this?" Li Mu questioned.
"Of course not, we have smeared ourselves with fish blood to mask the scent, and then let Tiangang swallow the pheromones we emit, so we can hide." Tianjie was thorough in his plan.
Li Mu nodded, "I was overthinking it."
"So, did I take a shower for nothing?" Liu Yu said angrily.
"...Li Mu, have you considered getting a new girlfriend?" Tianjie suggested expressionlessly.
"..."
Tiangang came out to mediate: "Let's go, it's getting light soon if we wait any longer."
Several people hid, but the hotel was on a cliff with an open space, about 100 meters away from the nearest residential house. If they were to cross it rashly, they would definitely be discovered. At that time, the exhausted group could only be submerged by the merfolk tide.
"60, 59, 58..." Tianjie stared at the watch and without lifting his head, said, "Listen, I've calculated the time of the last whale burst. There's about 40 seconds left. When the whale burst in the opposite direction of our current position, merfolk will be distracted. Tiangang will throw you into the grass on the side of the hotel. This process will probably only take 2 to 3 seconds. Relax your body and don't fall to your death."
"Turns out the last whale you asked me to move has this effect..." murmured.
"Prepare 10, 9, 8..." Countdown.
"????!" Liu Yu and Li Mu were dumbfounded.
"One!" The countdown by Tianjie ended, thud!! A distant sound echoed.
Due to the close proximity of the whale explosion to the hotel, the caretaker of the offerings in the lobby, as well as the large merfolk on the sofa, both stood up to take a look.
"Hurry!" Tianjie ordered.
Tiangang Quickly threw everyone into the bushes in the order of Li Mu, Tianjie, and Liu Yu, then sprinted 100 meters in two seconds. Li Mu gathered fire and supported everyone from below, otherwise everyone except Tiangang wouldn't be able to handle it.
Just as the deep diver turned his head, Tiangang rushed to the side of the hotel, avoiding its line of sight.
"Phew, luckily I shut her mouth, otherwise it would have been bad," Tianjie looked at the torn rag in Liu Yu's mouth and felt great about what he had done.
Liu Yu is both afraid and angry, she wipes away her tears with a cloth. Li Mu feels helpless and can't blame Tianjie, so he can only hug his girlfriend to comfort her.
" Tiangang, are you sure you can take out all the merfolk before they start yelling?" Tianjie asked.
"Sure, AoE skills, I got this. After I use it, there will be no place for you to bury your dead. If you can handle it, I can use it right now," said Tiangang with a dangerous smile.
"...No need for that. Just observe if there are any teleportation gates... No, forget it. Just check if there are any magic arrays. There are five floors in total, check them all. I just spotted one on the first floor, but it seems like it only allows entry, not exit. Do you have the confidence to silently take down merfolk in a 1v1?" Tianjie looked at Tiangang and asked.
"Okay."
"Alright, we'll try to hide and wait for your message." Tianjie dispatched Tiangang.
Tiangang nodded, circled around the hotel lobby and found nothing, gestured, and then went up to explore layer by layer.
"Why are you like this? Now that we've been discovered, there's no way out, and we're as good as dead?!" Liu Yu began to question Tianjie.
Tianjie closed his eyes to rest: "So? Is Tiangang circling around you just like your boyfriend? Who are you?"
"..." Liu Yu was left speechless.
"Or maybe you could speak louder and see if the merfolk on the other side of the wall can hear you?" Tianjie taunted.
"Um..." Liu Yu fell silent.
Tianjie squinted at the hazy bright sea in the distance, realizing he needed to leave as soon as possible. Judging by the decreasing SAN value, he couldn't resist K's call in his mind for the second night...
Upstairs, Tiangang carefully checked every room, encountering only one merfolk on each floor. After quickly dealing with them, he discovered something strange. In some rooms, there were dead merfolk. Could there be another group of people? However, just as he was puzzled on the fifth floor, he sensed human energy.
On the... rooftop!
Tiangang didn't dare to be careless, so he chose the window of the corridor near the cliff, flipped out, and tightly grasped the wall with both hands, climbing towards the roof like a gecko.
Buzz~
Just as Tiangang was staring at the formation on the roof as if facing a great enemy, the formation moved, and Tiangang also felt the previous energy getting closer and closer... Suddenly, it disappeared.
Tiangang remembered the array in the first-floor lobby, it should be a direct teleportation from the outside world to the first floor... Trouble, it seems that it's only a one-way channel...
Realizing something was wrong, Tiangang quickly descended, but when they discovered that below was not the ground but an abyss, they hurriedly stopped their descent and continued down the stairs inside the building. Both sides of the stairs were made of wood, and to avoid making any noise, Tiangang controlled their breath and reduced their weight, quickly reaching the second floor. Looking out the window, they still couldn't see the ground floor... This was bad.
"Strange, we only need to explore 4 levels, it's been 10 minutes, why haven't they come down yet." Tianjie gained an understanding of Tiangang's speed after witnessing the 100-meter sprint, hence the doubt about the speed.
"Could something have happened?" Li Mu frowned.
Tianjie looked at Li Mu: "It's possible. If we go upstairs now for backup, how well have you recovered?"
"I can still fight, barely, if it's just those few in the hall," Li Mu replied.
"Thinking too much. We need to move in silence now, not rush in and confront them. Are you confident in making a quick kill?" Tianjie asked.
"No, I don't have the kind of language power that Zhulong has," Li Mu shrugged.
Tianjie nodded to indicate understanding: "Then prepare to ambush and kill that larger deep diver."
"Okay"
Tianjie took out a bottle of dark substance, looked at the person on the ground as a sacrifice, then looked at the oil and natural gas, and muttered, "Save if you can, burn if you can't." Tianjie muttered to himself.
Li Mu heard something was off: "What death?"
"Nothing, just get ready." Tianjie silently calculated the throwing angle, "Aim at the bottle I threw."
"Good."
"Hit!" Tianjie threw a smoke bomb. The deep diver noticed it first and was about to avoid it when a plastic bottle flew over. It extended its fins to swat the bottle away, but the smoke obscured its vision. Li Mu followed up with two fireballs. The first one hit the bottle, causing a small explosion and splattering black liquid, most of which landed on the deep diver. The second fireball ignited the deep diver directly, causing it to scream in agony.
Li Mu didn't hesitate to cast a few fireballs to kill the other merfolk, and Tianjie casually closed the door. Everyone, ignoring the choking smoke, rescued the seven sacrifices in the hall, including not only people from Sun Country but also fair-haired and blue-eyed people from Zhengyi Kingdom.
"With such a commotion, Tiangang still hasn't shown up. There are two possibilities. First, he's been caught and his freedom restricted. Second, there's no communication between the upper and lower levels, so once you go up, you can't come down," analyzed Tianjie.
Li Mu frowned: "So what should we do? We don't even know if there's an exit upstairs. If we rush up and get trapped, it'll be all over."
"That makes sense, so..." Tianjie grabbed a person from Sun Country, "Where did you enter from?"
"Little devil, why should I tell you..." The middle-aged man looked at the flame in Li Mu's hand and fell silent. "We were thrown from the top floor of a very high hotel into some kind of magic array. When we came to our senses, we were here," the middle-aged man confessed.
Tianjie repeatedly tested the patterns on the floor of the lobby, but when it had no effect, he made a decisive decision: "Go upstairs."
On the stairs, looking at the bewildered hostages and the crumbling hotel door, Tianjie said, "If you want to live, keep up." Then he went upstairs without looking back.
As he stepped around the corner of the first and second floors, Tianjie and Tiangang collided.
"I can't believe you're ambushing your own brother here." Tianjie is stunned.
"No, it's just that once you come up to the second floor, you can't go back down. See for yourself." Tiangang pointing downstairs.
Tianjie turned around and saw that the first floor hall was clean and tidy, and even the body that had just arrived had disappeared, and there was no sign of any magic circle.
"?"
He quickly leaned over the window to look down, and sure enough, there was no grass on the first floor, only an abyss.
"Now there is absolutely no way out," Tianjie rubbed his chin, "The first floor array is useless, you should have found an array upstairs as well."
Tiangang nodded: "Yes, it's on the rooftop, but I can sense human energy, yet I can't see anyone."
"Just go take a look and you'll know." Tianjie indicated that he couldn't make a temporary judgment.
Tiangang Leading the way, he took everyone to the fifth floor.
"Oh, and one more thing, there's a dead merfolk body on the fifth floor," Tiangang added.
"Normal, isn't Liu Lei on the fifth floor?" Tianjie shrugged.
"But there's no body of Liu Lei."
"…It's broken, we need to guard against thieves for a thousand days."
The two remained silent, quietly climbing the ladder leading to the top floor, with the others following behind.
On the rooftop, a complex magic circle with a diameter of about three to four meters appeared before my eyes.
"This is it. I'm sure there's human energy, but I can't see anyone," said the clear sky.
"Is there anything else, like the energy of merfolk?" Tianjie asked.
"It seems like there is, but it's quite distant, so it's not very clear."
Tianjie pondered for a while, then slowly asked Tiangang on the side, "Have you... ever eaten a person?"
