In the process of continuing to the conch fishing point, they also encountered all kinds of strange marine creatures.
Accompanied by a cloud of thick fog that swept across the rear deck.
A beautiful woman who only covered her body with a shell appeared. However, compared to ordinary people, she carried a huge sea snail shell behind her.
Or she had the ability to charm people.
Or these crew members who lived at the bottom of the hierarchy basically couldn't touch the opposite sex all year round, so their desire couldn't be restrained by reason.
Even if they knew that something was strange, they still took the initiative to open their arms and wanted to have an intimate hug with this sea snail girl.
When the hug was done.
The woman's body would split from the middle, and a large number of small hard shell feet would grow out to hold the hug person tightly. At the same time, she would secrete thick acid to process the 'food'.
Then, from the gap between the body, the individual that was corroded into a lump of meat was put into the huge snail shell as a reserve food.
Just when the sea snail girl wanted to continue hunting … Bang!
The smell of gunpowder floated in the air.
The bald captain directly shot the monster's head.
The dead sea snail girl immediately turned into a pool of mucus.
The huge snail shell behind her back also slid out all kinds of stinky reserve food from the inside.
The captain was full of joy. At the cost of a conch, he let the crew clean up the snail shell as his trophy. He believed that some rich people in the city would be very interested in such a collection.
Han Dong silently watched all of this while communicating with the girl in his body.
"Nicole, are these things helpful to you?"
"No … These are all [Sea Monsters] formed by the pollution of ordinary marine creatures. What flows in their bodies is only their own blood and pollution essence.
It's useless to me. "
"Okay."
Han Dong turned his vision to the front of the ship. The more he stared at the sea, the stronger the invasion of sleepiness. However, this level of sleepiness didn't have much effect on Han Dong alone.
"Nicole … Do you know the source of this [Sleepiness]?"
"I'm not sure.
However, in the place where I used to live, sleeping was a very important thing for everyone.
In addition to sleeping every day, we also had to go to the underwater temple at a fixed time to sleep together.
For us deep-sea creatures, sleeping is a necessary and solemn thing. "
Han Dong nodded to himself. "Sure enough, it's related … By the way, the collective sleep you mentioned, could it be that there's a [Dream Connection] or something special?"
"Father said that entering the dream will allow us to establish a connection with the ancestor of our bloodline, which will help us grow.
However, every time I wake up, everything that happened in the dream will be permanently forgotten … Not a single memory will be retained. "
"Okay, got it."
Han Dong summarized the information he had collected so far and leaned on the railing of the deck to think alone.
Unknowingly, the steamship had arrived at the designated area for conch fishing.
[Drowsiness] was also at its maximum, and even the bald captain was yawning … Several crew members were obviously unable to hold on and could only rely on iron nails to fix their eyelids.
All of a sudden.
An elderly crewman had not even had time to hammer in the iron nails before he fell asleep on the ground.
The moment he fell asleep.
An indescribable power of corruption condensed in this person's body … In just one second, the elderly crewman's brain split open from the middle, and several corrosive tentacles grew out and crazily beat the deck.
His right arm exploded from the middle, and a huge crab's pincer grew out.
Bang!
Accompanied by a shot from the captain.
The surrounding crew members also simultaneously aimed at this person and fired one after another.
The corruption was forcibly interrupted. This person was turned into a meat plug on the spot and then thrown into the sea.
Sleeping directly without using conches.
This was the most serious crime in Port Ostia. Anyone who did this would be deprived of their rights, and any citizen had the obligation to deprive them of their life.
"A super fast corruption mutation … Even if an ordinary person looks directly at a Hybrid Demon, it's impossible to have such a rapid mutation. Interesting.
Is this a side effect of the conch?
The secret behind this may be the only way for us to leave here. "
Han Dong silently watched all of this with a strange smile on his face.
Immediately after.
The fishing equipment on the Galantis was activated, and the huge fishing net sank into the depths of the sea … Accompanied by the sound of the steam engine, a large number of strange-shaped conches were fished up.
At the same time.
Buzz ~ Buzz ~ Buzz ~
An indescribable strange rhythm came from the depths of the sea. Even the smiling tree in Han Dong's head trembled slightly because of it.
The crew members who heard this sound couldn't resist. Their eyes were blank as they voluntarily walked to the edge of the ship.
This included the strong-willed bald captain.
The crew members jumped over the railing and voluntarily fell into the sea.
Splash ~ Splash!
Accompanied by layers of water splashing on the surface of the sea.
After 50 crew members fell into the sea one after another, the strange sound from the bottom of the sea faded away by itself.
The bald captain, who was hiding in the deepest part of the cabin, had just walked out of the captain's room. When he heard the sound fade away, he smiled with relief.
This was the reason why he recruited a large number of crew members …
If he wanted to use conches, he had to offer a sufficient number of sacrifices to the sea.
Equivalent exchange, a very simple principle.
Standing on the deck, Han Dong stared at the large number of conches that had been fished up. He looked at the waves on the sea that hadn't calmed down yet, and then used his magic eye to see the situation below the sea.
The corners of his mouth slowly curled up. It seemed that he had found a way to escape.
After successfully returning to the port, Han Dong also received the wages given by the captain – ten low-quality conches.
The bald captain stared at the crew members who left one by one and shouted, "When you have used them up, remember to come again … The Glantis is your goddess of luck, thank her."
Just like that, they spent a day in the port town.
Different members of the three teams, some started from the bottom, the dirtiest area, trying to find the evil hidden in it.
Some drank freely in the bar and listened to the information from the drunkards.
Some sneaked into the homes of the rich and powerful and obtained information from the family history or the secret rooms in the big houses.
When all the members gathered, the unified conclusion was that this was a town that was born around conches.
For the time being, they didn't find any evil or traces of the Hybrid Demons.
In terms of religion, they also tended to be normal. There were no pagans wearing strange clothes, and there were no places to perform evil rituals. The town operated normally under a relatively fair rule of law.
The entire town had a clear class and level distinction. At the same time, the residents in the town were required to carry out an unlimited birth program in order to provide enough manpower for the economic development of the town.
However, where so many people went, only the middle-level and above personnel knew.
As for the geographical location of the port town, the information from all the townspeople was the same. Whether it was the bottom, middle, or upper level, they all thought that they lived on an island isolated from the world and were not disturbed by the evil from the mainland.
Even if they collected so much information.
For the most fundamental question – how to return to the original world?
Everyone was still at a loss.
When everyone shared their information one by one.
Han Dong put his arm around Demps' shoulder and pulled him aside for a secret conversation.
When the two came back.
Han Dong smiled and said simply, "I may have found a way to leave here …"
