Zhang Yingying had a strange feeling when she faced the instigator of the trouble at sea.
Could it be that this bro had forgotten who was the one who had attacked it just now?
Speaking of which, the reason it was still alive and kicking was probably because of its iron head.
Uh, it didn't seem to be a problem with its head … Zhang Yingying quickly noticed that the Bull Demon's chest and abdomen were already the most eye-catching. Now, in the night, it was even more eye-catching.
The dark green fluorescence was originally rather dark, and the dizziness was rather serious. But now, it was fluctuating violently, as if it was boiling. Perhaps it was even showing signs of vaporization?
Zhang Yingying was just letting her imagination run wild. But visually, the Bull Demon's "big belly" was indeed swelling up … The extent of the swelling could be seen, as if it could explode at any moment.
Perhaps this was the reason for the Bull Demon's cry for help. This fellow seemed to be in so much pain that he quickly lost his patience. After struggling for a while, he threw caution to the wind and jumped onto the yacht under Her Majesty Empress Wu's gaze!
From the looks of it, it was about to fly directly to the top deck.
"Wow!" Zhang Yingying let out a soft cry.
But as expected, there was another muffled sound. An invisible wall appeared out of nowhere in the atmosphere, blocking the Bull Demon's head. The fellow had only jumped a few meters before it crashed into the wall. With a miserable groan, it fell back down.
But perhaps it was just luck?
A huge wave rolled over, and the sea instantly rose by three to five meters. This caused the angle of its falling body to change, and it actually crashed into the railing on the side of the lower deck before it flipped over.
The huge belly even acted as a buffer, helping it bounce a few times on the deck, railing, and bulkhead. In the end, it fell flat on its back, to the point that the dark green fluorescence within it seemed like it was about to seep out. She was really worried that it would explode just like that.
But no matter what, the Bull Demon had still safely boarded the yacht. This alone made it much luckier than the other creatures in the surrounding waters.
Based on what Zhang Yingying could barely sense with her own mental senses, the marine creatures, be they ordinary shoals of fish or mutated species, were mostly unable to escape misfortune even if they hid under the surface of the sea.
For many creatures, even though they had dived to a depth of dozens of meters, they still couldn't avoid the experience. The air, the seawater, and the marine creatures themselves were cooperating to create blood-curdling flowers of flesh and blood, which were blossoming at various depths of the ocean one wave after another.
Some twisted flesh and blood even floated to the surface of the sea, merging with other similar existences along the way, as if trying to nurture something in this terrifying flower. But in the end, it still collapsed.
At the very least, with the passage of time, the signs of life in the sea areas that the yacht passed through were quickly decreasing. How long had it been? The surroundings had already turned from a noisy uproar to dead silence.
The "Evil Eyes" that had covered the surface of the sea earlier were long gone. Looking up, the night sky, the dark wind, the dark waves, and the filth filled everything. But even more than that, there was the destructive power that created all of this, dominating everything on a level that no one could understand.
Zhang Yingying was a little absent-minded. She subconsciously hugged her boss's arm tighter, forgetting to ask how they should deal with that lucky bull ghost.
At this moment, Meng Chong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. "Something … is coming up."
"Ah? Where? "
"The bottom of the yacht is … 'climbing' upwards."
Meng Chong hesitated for a moment before he found a relatively accurate verb to describe it.
Zhang Yingying's spiritual sensing range was mainly for highly threatening targets and living things, similar to "dynamic vision". Her other areas were more ordinary. Even if she was reminded, she could only vaguely sense it, and the angle of the bottom of the yacht was rather awkward. She couldn't see it if she tilted her head.
But this wasn't a problem for Zhang Yingying. She simply released the floating camera and let this little thing fly down to extend her vision …
A second later, Zhang Yingying regretted it.
Because with the outstanding night vision of the floating camera, she could clearly see that there was actually a layer of "membrane" formed from blood and flesh. It spread all the way up the bottom of the yacht, as if it wanted to completely wrap up the high-speed hull and swallow it in one fell swoop.
This layer of flesh and blood, which was still flowing with blood and flesh juice, was definitely pieced together from the broken remains of countless sea creatures … But what kind of monster would they be pieced together!
"Boss!" Zhang Yingying's voice was a little out of tune.
Her Majesty Empress Wu patted the back of her hand. "What are you afraid of? It's not like it's targeting us."
"Then who is it targeting?"
Her Majesty Empress Wu smiled.
There was already no need to answer. Roars came from below. The Bull Ghost, who had just caught its breath on the lower deck, felt as if its back was on fire. It began to crazily move its limbs again, hoping to adjust its posture so that it could climb to the upper deck of the yacht again.
But at this time, its body, which had been as light as a feather, was completely dragged down by its bloated belly. It struggled to get up with its eight legs facing the sky. But the "membrane of flesh and blood" was advancing at an astonishing speed. In a few breaths, it had quickly crept over the railing of the yacht, stuck to the lower deck, and approached the Bull Ghost.
Zhang Yingying's eyelids twitched a few times. She watched the "membrane of flesh and blood" of an indescribable color start to swell and extend. It felt like an amoeba that had been magnified billions of times. It kept changing its shape, extending pseudopodia, and formed an encirclement structure to hunt.
Its prey was undoubtedly the Bull Ghost.
Seeing that it couldn't escape, the Bull Ghost actually let out a scream that sounded like a human's, but what use was it?
Before the scream ended, it had already been stuck to the part of the "membrane of flesh and blood" that had extended out. First, it was its two limbs, then its back, before it was completely wrapped up. It was like a fat spider that had been tangled to death by a spider's web. It looked absurd and desperate.
The "membrane of flesh and blood" was so powerful that the Bull Ghost's entire body was constricted and deformed. It seemed like it could explode at any time and then melt its broken limbs and flesh inside.
Her Majesty Empress Wu still had no intention of intervening. Zhang Yingying felt that she was really going to have a nightmare tonight.
Before she could let her imagination run wild, on the lower deck, a ghostly fluorescence suddenly increased in brightness. It instantly broke through the Bull Ghost's flesh and even the obstruction of the "membrane of flesh and blood", and blossomed in the void.
It exploded!
Zhang Yingying subconsciously narrowed her eyes, but she couldn't help but look … Fortunately, she did, because what happened next was completely different from what she had imagined.
After the cluster of ghostly green fluorescence really broke through the obstruction of the flesh and blood, the severe dizziness from before was greatly alleviated. It was so much so that people on the upper deck could already see that the fluorescence itself was actually highly differentiated. It seemed like countless fireflies had gathered in one place. It was just that it lacked intelligence, and overall, it was rather orderly.
Most importantly, the spots of fluorescence were even extending in both directions, stretching out into even finer lines. One end continued to expand and differentiate, while the other end continued to gather and shrink. At first glance, it looked like a forest that had been invisible before but was now gradually disappearing.
The branches and leaves were luxuriant, but the main trunk wasn't very obvious. It was completely hidden among the branches and leaves that were constantly branching off. Or perhaps the lower half, including the root system, was still hidden behind the void.
Because of such a change, the "membrane of flesh and blood" that was closing in was more or less distracted. Some of them even began to melt by themselves …
Or was it trying to reshape it into a more suitable structure?
In any case, the misfortune of the Bull Ghost exploding and dying was somewhat delayed, but the screams became even louder.
"What on earth is this thing?" Zhang Yingying felt that her memory had been offended. "It looks a little familiar. No, I don't think I've seen this thing before. But who have I heard of it before?"
She turned her gaze to Her Majesty Empress Wu, but unexpectedly, a voice came from behind her. "Mister Luo mentioned it before. It's a 'plant-type'."
"Huh?" Meng Chong's response caught Zhang Yingying off guard.
Meng Chong was very confident. "At the end of last year, when Mister Luo and the Order of Justice's Secretbound High Priest, Li Taisheng, met, he raised this extremely sharp conclusion.
"At that time, he compared the Ring of Blood and Will to the Order of Justice's Scales of Truth system. He said that the former was a 'tool type' that was shaped like the abyss, while the Order of Justice's system was like a large tree that was planted in the abyss, but its roots continued to extend downwards. It was a 'biological type' or 'plant-type' …"
"Ah ah, I have an impression when you say this! Cloud City Water Village, right? Was it before or after Sister Moya's concert? "
As her memories flowed back, Zhang Yingying was truly shocked. "Do you have to be so exaggerated? I was there at that time, but I don't remember it as clearly as you do!"
"Matters that have nothing to do with us become chaotic." Meng Chong bowed slightly to hide his somewhat bitter smile. "Mister Luo's comparison of 'tool type' and 'plant-type' hit quite a few secret orders' sore spots."
As for the matter of Lady Halder and Yin Le being remotely monitored through a puppet, there was no need to mention it.
Zhang Yingying chuckled. "He just loves to do these kinds of jobs that destroy people's bowls … Oh, according to what you're saying, this Boss Niu Gui is an important member of some secret order?"
"Perhaps not just that. Judging from Niu Gui's current state, he looks quite familiar to me. " Meng Chong made a rare self-mocking remark. He explained further, "This' thicket 'is somewhat like the embryonic form of the abyss's solidified configuration. It also seems like a carrier for the order's sacrificial vessel. But no matter what, this is definitely the crystallization of some belief system. It is the result of many years of accumulated faith.
"Through it, the core information of an order, including the characteristics of their faith, their fundamental techniques, their various levels of believers … all of it will be exposed without a doubt. The premise is that they must be able to perfectly break through and resist the backlash.
"Take my order as an example. This kind of 'crystallization' isn't unique, but there is only one 'backup'. If it is damaged or lost, it will truly be a serious injury to the bones. It will greatly damage our vitality. Of course, these are just the special characteristics of our idealistic order. As for the Divine Order, I don't dare to speak carelessly. "
Meng Chong thought of the Human-Faced Arachnid's Human-Faced Arachnid when he said these words. The embryonic sacrificial vessel and the Shepherd's Imprint were lost in Xia City. He also thought of Elder Mo Lun …
Of course, this also included Luo Nan.
There were some matters that really couldn't withstand pondering, but the passage of time made pondering over them meaningless.
Zhang Yingying didn't know how complicated Meng Chong's state of mind was. She discussed the matter as it stood and immediately gave Niu Gui the final verdict. "I've finally figured it out. Why was this brother able to attract so much trouble …."
She blinked her eyes as she spoke to this point. She turned around and sent a flattering smile.
"Boss, can you give me some guidance?"
