Ye An

The head of the mutated octopus was pierced, tearing a huge wound.

A large amount of liquid gushed out from the wound, and a strange smell filled the air. Ye An's consciousness began to blur again, and he had to grab the wound with his backhand and use the pain to force himself to wake up.

The manta ray seized the opportunity and swarmed up when the mutated octopus was seriously injured, and quickly covered the entire body of the octopus, vying for the best position.The mutated octopus shook its tentacles in pain, but it still couldn't get rid of the manta ray. Its flesh and blood were devoured, and its body shriveled up quickly.

When the manta ray left, there was no more flesh and blood in the mutated octopus, only the indigestible skin and bones of the manta ray remained on the ground.

Ye An shook his head vigorously, even though there was pain and stimulation, the scene in front of him was still a little blurry.The light was shaking and distorting, which made him unable to concentrate, let alone capture every light and shadow accurately.

Relying on his intuition of danger, when the wind blew by, he sideways avoided a flying tentacle.An icy breath covered his side, and the mutated octopus that attacked him was covered in ice, unable to move for a moment.

Knowing that it was Xiao Yun who made the move, Ye An reacted quickly. Even though his head was a little dizzy, he still rushed forward quickly, jumped up and down, aimed his long knife at the top of the mutated octopus's head, and pressed down with all his strength.

Accompanied by a clear cracking sound, the ice covering the mutated octopus's head was pierced. When Ye An fell, he drove a long knife to cut half of the mutated octopus' head.

All the liquid in the octopus gushed out, flowing down the corridor, and briefly converging into several streams.

The manta ray pounced on it again, without having to bite open the skin of the mutated octopus, it just burrowed in through the wound and quickly disassembled the entire octopus into its belly.

Two companions died in front of them in a row, and the mutated octopus that was still alive retreated, quickly retracted its tentacles, and tried to escape from the end of the cabin.

The mutated octopus is extremely fast, its body can shrink freely, and it can get into the cracks that even manta rays cannot pass through. At this moment, it wants to escape, but manta rays have nothing to do with it.

Ye An didn't want to let it go.

The same goes for Xiao Yun.

The coldness spread, and the transparent ice layer spread rapidly, freezing the entire corridor in an instant.The mutated octopus couldn't dodge in time, one of its tentacles was frozen and couldn't be pulled away, so it was trapped at the end of the corridor.

Ye An clenched the long knife, and rushed forward quickly along the ice bridge formed by Xiao Yun, accidentally slipped halfway, and simply used his strength to slide forward, and soon came to the end of the corridor.

The crisis was close at hand, and the mutated octopus made an astonishing move, tearing off the frozen tentacles, throwing them behind it, struggling to get into the cracks in the bulkhead, trying to escape from the danger.

Ye An jumped up and was about to swing his knife at the octopus, but his feet slipped again, the blade lost its aim, and it didn't hurt the mutated octopus' vitals, only slashing one of its tentacles.

Xiao Yun followed closely, throwing the bone knife in the way of throwing a spear. The sharp blade cut through the skin of the mutated octopus, pierced the octopus' head with astonishing force, and hit the knife handle on the spot.

The tentacles of the mutated octopus were only half an inch away from Ye An's neck. The bony spurs in the sucker had already opened, and suddenly fell powerlessly and rolled to the floor.

The manta rays were full, and except for a very few, most of them did not pounce, leaving the dead mutated octopus lying on the ground, blood flowing, and huge tentacles piled up half of the corridor.

"solved."

After confirming that the octopus had completely lost its vitality, Ye An sat down directly on the ground, holding a long knife in one hand, and took out the medicine bottle with the other hand, handed it to his mouth, bit open the cork, and sprinkled the wound medicine inside on the wound.

No longer needing pain to stay awake, Ye An was very careful when pouring the wound medicine, and he only exhaled slowly when the wound was completely covered and the coolness replaced the burning heat.

Xiao Yun walked beside Ye An, supported his chin with one hand, and leaned over to check the wound on his shoulder.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Ye An waved his hand, signaling Xiao Yun not to worry, but he didn't push him away.Although the mutated octopus died, the unique smell still lingered in the air, and the coolness on Xiao Yun's body made him feel comfortable.

When the smell dissipated almost, the swarm of manta rays also fled away one after another. Ye An and Xiao Yun recovered their strength and began to deal with the corpse of the mutated octopus.

Just as they were moving the giant tentacles away and clearing the way forward, there was a sudden sound from behind the cracked bulkhead, like metal rubbing or heavy objects knocking.

The two looked at each other, and at the same time held the long knife in their hands, and looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound.

At a certain moment, the weird sound suddenly disappeared, and the corridor became silent, almost audible as a needle drop.

Ye An didn't relax at all, he felt a strange will, very similar to when he encountered strange fish and parasites.

"Be careful, the things behind that are weird." Ye An said to Xiao Yun.

Before Xiao Yun could answer, the sound reappeared, the crack on the bulkhead suddenly widened, and the creaking sound was extremely ear-piercing, as if something was grabbing behind the board and trying to tear the crack open.

Xiao Yun reacted very quickly. Before the bulkhead was further damaged, the long knife slid across a long arc, and the hard ice layer quickly blocked the crack, and then covered the entire wall.

"go!"

The ice layer reached the top of the head, Xiao Yun grabbed Ye An's wrist, and the two of them jumped over the huge body of the mutated octopus, and came to the end of the corridor at the fastest speed.

At the end of the corridor was a metal door with a gap that would allow an octopus to pass through, but not a person.

Before he could find a way to unlock the lock, Ye An smashed the door through with his fist.

There is no abnormality behind the door, only a staircase leading to the lower cabin.

The sound of ice breaking came from behind, Ye An turned his head to look over, and saw that the ice wall formed by Xiao Yun was covered with cobweb-like cracks, the bulkhead behind the ice wall had been torn open, and countless sea cucumbers gushed out of it. Come out and lie on the wall.

These sea cucumbers were astonishingly big, and the shortest one was comparable to Ye An's arm.The whole body is black, with sharp horns erected on the top of the head. After careful observation, it can be found that it is a kind of parasite, which relies on the nutrition of sea cucumbers to survive.

Oddly, this parasite is not from the sea, nor is it a freshwater organism, but a bee larva.Why it can live in water and parasitize on sea cucumbers is really puzzling.

Ye An didn't have time to think about it, the ice wall had been shattered from the center, the broken ice and sea cucumbers fell on the deck together, and quickly slid towards the direction where Ye An and Xiao Yun were.Intercepted by octopus carcasses on the way, these sea cucumbers were able to arch their bodies and jump, and it was only a matter of time before they caught up.

"This place must be blocked!"

The distance between the two sides kept getting closer, Ye An and Xiao Yun made a decisive decision, took available wooden boards and metal boards to block the door frame, and then frozen them with ice cubes, layer after layer, the thickness of the ice cubes alone was more than two hand.

This may not be able to completely intercept the sea cucumbers, but it will give them enough time to pass through the stairs and go to another cabin, taking the opportunity to throw off the group of pursuers.If it is only sea cucumbers, just kill them.However, there are parasites in sea cucumbers, so they have to be treated with caution.

"Go this way."

Ye An concentrated and jumped down the stairs first without sensing anything unusual.

There are several metal boxes scattered under the stairs. The lids of the boxes have long since disappeared, and all the things in the boxes have been corrupted.

The surface of the box is covered with brown-green barnacles. These barnacles are oddly shaped, like flat peaks, stacked one by one, and some are hidden under the stairs, with soft tentacles sticking out from the top, preying on passing krill and small fish.

Ye An was about to move on, but Xiao Yun suddenly stopped, bent over and pulled a metal box, and used a dagger to pry off a few barnacles, revealing the side of the metal box.

It is rusty and full of traces of barnacle growth, but it can also be vaguely recognized. There are familiar fish patterns under the rust, which are generally similar to the ones Ye An has seen before, only slightly different in details.

Discovering these fish patterns, Xiao Yun's mood obviously fluctuated.

Ye An clearly sensed the other party's change, but did not ask. When Xiao Yun stood up, he raised his finger to the right side of the stairs, where several cabins were arranged side by side, the doors were closed, and it seemed that there was not much damage.

"Go from there."

Xiao Yun nodded, threw away the box with the fish pattern, retracted the dagger into the scabbard, restrained his emotions, and accelerated forward together with Ye An.

Unlike the cabin on the previous floor, this floor has not suffered much damage, and there are no creatures such as king crabs, mutated octopuses, and manta rays. Only large and small shellfish and barnacles are adsorbed on the walls. There are sporadically growing sea anemones in the corner.

The two must be very careful when moving forward, the ground is full of sharp shells and barnacles.Some of them were dead, and the shells were piled up in pieces, while some were still alive, hiding under the broken shells, and they would rush out at some point, scratching their calves and ankles.

In addition, Ye An also found blobfish under the shell.

This is a deep-sea fish with no scales on its body. It looks very ugly. It hides quietly under the shell, and you won't find it if you don't look carefully.

Having experienced all kinds of things before, Ye An would not be surprised to find any kind of marine life in the sunken ship.His only concern is whether these creatures are dangerous, whether they will attack suddenly.

Fortunately, the creatures in the corridor are considered peaceful, as long as they don't take the initiative to provoke them, or accidentally step on them, they will basically not actively attack the two of them.

There are exceptions. A few scallops were hunting and mistook two of them as prey. As a result, the shell was smashed, the soft body was pulled out, and it was quickly eaten by the surrounding barnacles and shellfish.

Click!

Ye An stepped on a shell as he walked forward, and before he could take his foot back, several dark green aquatic plants suddenly jumped out from under the shell, wrapping around his calf in an instant.

The edges of the aquatic plants have sharp sawtooth, which easily cut Ye An's skin, greedily grabbing the blood from the wound.

These aquatic plants seemed to contain special ingredients. The wound on his calf was bleeding continuously, but Ye An didn't feel much pain.Unable to allow the blood to drain, he immediately bent down to cut off the water plants, and tore off the grass blades wrapped around his calves.

During the process, Ye An noticed something strange, and in order to confirm his guess, he threw away the red-stained grass blades and quickly poked open the piled shells with a dagger.

Seeing Ye An's actions, Xiao Yun stopped inspecting the cabin, walked over, and suddenly found several pieces of bones scattered under the shells. It can be concluded without putting together that they belong to human skulls!
