Chapter 203: Chapter 203 A Big Misunderstanding_1 Chapter 203: Chapter 203 A Big Misunderstanding_1 “This damn thing, it followed us here!?”

Xia Liufang, Hu Zheng, and others looked on in astonishment. They were familiar with this sewer, the monster they had encountered for the first time in the sewer was the one before them now.

But, wasn’t this creature supposed to have disappeared on the second sub-level of the sewer? How did it suddenly appear on this level?

Just as the baffling thought arose, they saw the half-mermaid, half-sea serpent creature suddenly leap up, followed by an exceptionally painful scream—

It worked!

Colin shared the five senses with “Yukionna,” and in his mind appeared the image of her driving the Bone Spur into the creature’s wound. He immediately ordered her to stab and run, to quickly return.

If nothing unexpected happened, this monster’s violent backlash was about to follow.

Colin wasn’t sure if a stab like that would kill it immediately, but he could tell that it was not taking it easily after being stabbed…

Crackling arcs of electricity flickered incessantly over its body, but before the arcs could repel, they were all resisted by “Little Fist Stone.”

And amidst the heart-wrenching cries of agony, Xia Liufang and the others also snapped back to reality. Now was not the time to worry about where that damn thing had come from, but to take advantage of the two monsters fighting each other and escape!

“What are you still watching for, run!”

Seeing Colin still standing there “dazed,” she didn’t bother explaining, rushed over, grabbed Colin onto her shoulder, and fled towards another wall that had just been breached.

The remaining armed personnel and Hu Zheng and others also came to their senses. Without time to think further, they each carried the man with burn injuries and Wang Hu, following Xia Liufang, escaping the scene.

During this process, all the Fishmen no longer watched on as idly spectators like before, but rather, as if stimulated by something, they rushed over from their position.

However, they didn’t attack Colin and the others; instead, they charged at the Corpse Mountain that had visibly injured the “Deep Sea Messenger.”

Spear after spear flew from their hands and accurately impaled the Corpse Mountain, instantly turning it into something resembling a hedgehog.

As they continued to struggle, Colin and company had already gotten some distance away.

“What’s going on, what’s the situation with that thing…” Hu Zheng, an official Transcendent of the “Fate Propeller” path, wore a look of astonishment, still somewhat in disbelief—did they just escape?

This escape seemed to him akin to a “Mechanical Descension.”

Because that Black Flesh Orb monster had arrived here in an incomprehensible way…

No, upon closer thought, they didn’t understand what had happened when they were initially launched into the air. And if they hadn’t been thrown, they might have died in an instant—could it be…

Different perspectives converged into a single thought among the group.

“Thanks to the person sent by ‘Bonfire Company’ for their help, I can confirm it was him who made a move just now…” Hu Zheng said with a sincere face, feeling that he had guessed the truth.

He had just seen a partially invisible figure attacking near the monster before coming towards them and then disappearing.

Invisible, unseen, floating, lacking any substance…

Wasn’t that the same person who had aided them before?

Ah, this… Colin fell silent for a moment, suddenly realizing that under those circumstances, “The Light Chaser,” the mysterious individual who had been following them all the way but did nothing other than buffing, indeed fit the conjecture better.

After all, no one knew what other abilities “The Light Chaser” had, so it was natural to apply his capabilities to the other person, completing the logical loop…

And during the fight just now, everyone’s focus was on Corpse Mountain, nobody had noticed him.

“What was the deal with that monster?” Xia Liufang asked, puzzled, trying to get a response from the invisible individual the entire time.

Unfortunately, after lending them a significant hand, the person seemed to have no intention of explaining.

“It’s just a Little Hammer Stone that happened to pass by and decided to lend a helping hand…”

Colin responded silently in his heart. He had originally thought he was exposed, but to his surprise, it turned out to be a mix-up.

But this mess isn’t too bad either…

It was at this time, as the Fishmen were aiding the “Deep Sea Messenger,” that Qin Chuan and the others charged over. Compared to Colin’s side, the intensity of the battle they faced was obviously higher. Two out of the five armed personnel accompanying them had died, and the remaining three were also injured.

The two Extraordinary Ones who were with them were unharmed, although one had a fish spear that had been chopped off embedded in his shoulder, his face deathly pale…

As for the local survivors, aside from a little girl with white hair, only three unfamiliar faces remained, clearly indicating that almost ten other people had all died at the hands of those mermaid monsters.

Qin Chuan’s pale face glared at Wang Hu; if it weren’t for this guy hiding information, they wouldn’t have been so passive.

“Sorry…” Wang Hu spoke.

“Let’s get out of here first,” Qin Chuan, usually jovial, said with a very bad look on his face.

After that, everyone quickly made for Shelter No. 24. That place was safe as long as you didn’t stay too long, and they also needed to go back there to take some of the supplies left behind.

However, less than five minutes after they set off, Colin suddenly felt a jolt in his head, as if some dying voice transmitted into his mind, followed by a certain image—

The “Smiling Mountain of Corpses” was impaled with densely packed fish spears, flesh torn in multiple places, strong muscles slowly drooping, the body no longer sustaining itself, crumbling and dissolving into a thick, dark red sludge…

“This must be the first time Little Fist Stone got torn apart, huh.”

But just as Colin thought this was the end, he suddenly heard something intangible following this returned image to connect to his brain.

Accompanied by the inexplicable sound of tides, one angry roar after another, filled with resentment, arrived simultaneously.

“Colin… Colin… Colin…”

“Contemptible and ignorant fools, deceived and misled…”

“Blasphemous, God-slaying Promise Breakers…”

“Unforgivable villains…”

“The dying curse of the Great Will of the Deep Sea…”

“Shall descend upon thee, eternal and endless…”

“Thy sins shall endure for eons, until the end of time and space!”

The dense and agonized voices of resentment exploded in Colin’s brain, making him feel as if his brain were being torn apart by a terrifying undertow.

The one emitting these sounds seemed to be that horrific creature with the body of a human and the tail of a snake.

Clearly Bone Spur was formidable, but merely stabbing it and leaving, though causing immense damage and suffering, still had not killed it.

However, what puzzled him more than this was the various cryptic contents of the voice that made no sense…

He looked up to make sure no one noticed him and, enduring the headache, tried to analyze the meaning behind the “riddles” the creature had cursed.

“What does ‘contemptible and ignorant fools’ mean, and the ‘blasphemous, God-slaying Promise Breakers’? What does it all mean? Not to mention, how could the term ‘God-slaying’ be connected to me? Anything I’ve encountered related to it has me running for my life…”

“Which of these absurd things has anything to do with me? You can’t just shift the blame like this…”

“Huh? Wait a second…”

Colin’s eyes widened as he suddenly realized something.
