Chapter 503: Chapter 503: The Ocean of Death

"So as long as we stay on the ship, we’re safe, right?" a female player’s voice trembled as she spoke.

Safe on the ship?

Definitely not. The seventh floor had just been restored and was forcibly demolished again, they were squeezed to the edge of the ship by a pile of fixtures and remnants of walls, unable to enter or leave, with death on either side.

"Why can’t the tickets be used!" someone roared furiously, "We’re so close to Zone 011, how could it possibly not be part of the game!"

"Can’t you see this is what they did on purpose? They deliberately brought us to a sea area where the tickets can’t get us out, intending to kill every single one of us!" Some people turned their anger towards Xu Huo and the others, "You’re wearing black bracelets!"

The crowd glared furiously, ready to kill one to break even, or kill two for profit before they died.

"Everyone calm down a bit." Selin raised his voice, "I am a Cultist and I always stand on the side of the weak, you can ask the people around me if you don’t believe me."

Those who had followed him earlier quickly came forward to vouch for him and the crowd believed them for now, turning their pointing fingers towards Xu Huo and the player with the black bracelet, especially the player with the black bracelet, who was covered in blood. The other players had seen such bloodthirsty Nobles before.

"I also have a white bracelet," Xu Huo showed his original bracelet, "As for this friend, he is a good person. He killed several players with red bracelets, and we switched bracelets for safety. If we were really with the Nobles, we wouldn’t be preparing another white bracelet in such a clear advantage."

"Besides, the situation is dangerous now, instead of bickering here, we should find a way to leave the sixth floor."

"We can climb up to the seventh floor or down to the fifth floor along the ship’s outer wall."

The aftershock was still coming forward, a crowd was blocking the debris, barely not being swept off the ship. Once they let go of their strength, they might be squeezed out immediately!

Besides the two options Xu Huo mentioned, there was no other choice. The risk was higher if they waited, so some players on the outside immediately used props and their traits to climb onto the ship’s hull.

The ship’s outer wall had a certain slope and as long as the mutated giants did not attack the ship directly, clinging to the ship’s hull was safe.

But the problem was that too many people wanted to get out first, which led to fewer people resisting in front. After Bai Kou’s side blasted another impact, most people were flung out of the windows!

"Whoo!" It wasn’t a scream, but the sound of tentacles brushing past the ship’s hull. Several players were cut in half at the waist, and a few others were injured and fell into the sea.

Xu Huo had a prop, and as soon as he came out of the sixth floor, he hung onto the edge of the floor, tossing the "Harmless Whip" towards the player with the black bracelet who had been hit by the tentacles.

The other person grabbed the rope and broke through the glass window to descend to the fifth floor. Then Xu Huo retracted the prop, holding onto the guitar strings, and also jumped into the fifth floor.

No one had counted how many players were on the sixth floor, but only about a dozen were left when they got down to the fifth floor.

Seeing the tentacles still swaying outside, the player with the black bracelet was apprehensive and said to Xu Huo, "Thanks for just now."

"It’s only right to return a favor," Xu Huo said with a slight smile. He hadn’t had to deal with so many red bracelets by himself earlier, his action must have had something to do with the presence of the Anthropomorphic Doll.

Regardless, he had received the other’s goodwill.

"My name is Lu Yun." The man with the black bracelet shook hands with him.

"Xu Huo." Xu Huo looked up at the constantly quaking ceiling, "We need to figure out a way to get out of here now."

Lu Yun shook his head, "It’s difficult."

If it were just the hunting game being played on the ship, perhaps one could hide until the ship returned using some special items, but now that an accident had occurred, the battle between the nobles and the foreign players was hard to decide, and the prop ship itself might not even be safe.

"What the hell!" a player standing against the wall suddenly shouted, struggling to tear off two black arms entangled around him.

Xu Huo was close by and made a swipe with his sword, severing the "arms" at their base, which fell to the ground and turned into sea grass.

Lu Yun walked over and took a look, "They really are arms."

Although what fell to the ground became sea grass, the appendages growing on the wall indeed looked like human arms; the severed joint displayed a realistic pattern of a human arm, with bones and tendons visible, except what oozed out wasn’t blood but a dark green liquid.

Lu Yun cut off a piece with his knife, "Sea grass."

"Sea grass turned into human hands?" Xu Huo glanced over the corridor which had now become noticeably thinner and more numerous than in the daytime and said gravely, "I’m afraid this stuff could be all over the ship."

No sooner had he spoken than his feet were suddenly grabbed; looking down, he saw another pair of sea grass hands gripping him with a strong force, and at this moment the floor began to soften, swallowing his feet like a quagmire.

After chopping off the sea grass hands, he clutched onto the guitar strings and hung in the air, keeping a distance from the ship while striking the floor with his sword.

Sure enough, the sword qi didn’t leave a mark on the now-altered ship’s surface.

"What kind of damn prop is this ship!" a player cursed.

"It’s at least a Rank-A prop," Selin floated in the air, nimbly dodging the sea grass hands, "It can change time and shape, maybe it’s a space-time item, but we don’t know how long it can be used for."

"Space-time item." Xu Huo’s gaze deepened slightly; as long as it wasn’t an S-rank item, he could completely use "Three Seconds of a Lifetime" to stop the ship from moving, which, even if it wouldn’t completely shut down the prop ship, would at least impact its function.

But the problem was what to do afterward.

The members of the Guile Sound Knights clearly didn’t get here through the regular transportation channels, which means they have a way to travel within the game zones without needing tickets, and Bai Kou might too.

Considering the situation just now, Bai Kou seemed to have no backup. If she couldn’t achieve her goal, she would definitely leave straight away to protect herself.

Although the two of them were allies, Bai Kou might not consider him when it mattered most.

Therefore, the best scenario currently would be for Bai Kou to get into a tug-of-war with the other high-level players on the ship or to force the ship to return.

"I have a way to deal with it," Lu Yun said while stepping on his flying device, smashing the sea grass hands and speaking, "I took a special route onboard and brought a lot of fuel. These sea grasses are afraid of fire; once we set them aflame, they won’t dare to come out!"

As he spoke, he headed toward a corridor.

The others, in their need to stick together, could only follow; Xu Huo caught up to him and asked directly, "Did you plan an escape method when you boarded the ship?"

Lu Yun came prepared; given his understanding of the ship’s characteristics and the events on it, he must have done his research beforehand.

"Is this sea area completely isolated from the copy?"

"The plan I originally prepared won’t work," Lu Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "You mean to use the tickets? There’s no copy in this sea area, but if we follow the original course for half an hour, we’ll pass through an unstable space, where we might chance our luck."

"Too bad the ship has already deviated from its course."
