Chapter 269: News of the ShipAnti walked in the library. In the long corridor, only his footsteps echoed in the darkness. The library was very dark, with only a few fluorescent lights flickering between the bookshelves at a distance. Anti took a quick look at the books here when he first came in. Many of them are literary works about the sea people. If he took them out, they would probably interest many people. After all, these are all literature from another civilization. I don't know what material is used to keep the books from getting soaked underwater. But it's not surprising that the water here can't drown people. Occasionally, slippery wriggling and swimming sounds can be heard around. This is the sound of scholars in action in the library. When Anti turned a corner, this sound suddenly appeared in front of him, and then two octopus-headed seamen swam out from behind the bookshelf. When they saw Anti, they were stunned at first, and then immediately waved their tentacles. There was no intention of communicating, and the water flow became abnormal under the manipulation of their tentacles, squeezing and binding Antii like a rope.
Anti was in a bad mood, so he waved his staff to cut through the sea water and slit the heads of the two octopuses. Black sewage oozed out of the abyss, and the sea scholar let out a strange eerie cry. After twitching a few times, he stopped moving and turned into a floating corpse in the water. The rows of bookshelves in the library even replace the walls to a large extent in visual effect. Here is the largest collection of books in the entire Seavenders. It is not an exaggeration to say that all the knowledge from the birth of the sea civilization to the present day is recorded here. But it is obvious that when it comes to some miscellaneous subjects, the scholars here are not so careful in their classification, and the types of books are often mixed together on the bookshelves. Night Eyes helped again at this time. Although the dense black spots made Anti's eyes a little tired, he was still able to quickly identify the books. "Books on various materials under the ocean... It seems that I can bring a few books for Jasmine and Dill." Anti thought when he saw some valuable books. Tailors and craftsmen should have no problem with this knowledge of materials. As well as miscellaneous books on various craft technologies of the sea people, Anti saw quite a few of them during his trip. He looked at the outlines with his night eyes, compared prices from three stores, and brought back the most concise and high-quality ones. He himself was not interested in it, so he just thought of it as a souvenir for his friend. Until he heard footsteps in the library. Not his own footsteps, but other footsteps. This is very strange. Although the octopus sea people in the library have merged with humans, they still mainly rely on their tentacles to crawl along the corridors, or swim directly when moving. I have hardly ever seen anyone walking. Anti crawled into the gap between the bookshelves. There was a hidden opening with a path inside. Through this inconspicuous path, he could move between different levels of the library. Because the library is not designed for humans, some places are anti-human, but by relying on the induction force to affect the buoyancy of sea water, it is not impossible to use these channels even if they are a little awkward. Anti crawled out from the gap between the upper bookshelves and saw the source of the footsteps. As expected, it was a human being. The clothes that should have been a dress were now tattered. It was a woman with disheveled hair. She moved carefully between the bookshelves. The smart thing about her was that she tore the hem of her dress in advance so as not to interfere with her movements. "you……"
The moment An spoke, he startled the other person and the woman turned around suddenly. Seeing her face, Anti was stunned. It turns out that it’s someone who knows. Celia was a girl from the Leighton family of the Sera Kingdom who was invited to Lin Jinghong’s ship. The light around was dim, and Anti didn't notice her blue hair. Now when they looked at each other, he could see her panicked green eyes. "You are... that... that..." Celia was panicked at first, but when she saw Anti, she recognized him. However, when it came to calling his name, she stammered and couldn't say it at all. Anti didn't think it was necessary for others to know his name, so he didn't care. What he was concerned about now was why Celia, who was supposed to be on the ship, appeared in this library. "Shouldn't you be on the boat? Why are you here? Where are the others?" Anti asked three times in a row, his tone brisk, leaving Celia confused. Celia quickly reached out and suppressed it: "There are a lot of sea monsters here, you are too loud!" Soon, the sounds of many octopus sea people's activities quickly approached this side. Hearing the voice, Anti raised his head, picked up his weapon and walked out from the bookshelf. After that, Celia heard screams one after another and the sound of flesh being cut continuously. Celia covered her mouth and dared not breathe, trembling with fear. After a moment, a hand stained with some body fluids reached up to the bookshelf above Celia's head. Anti wiped the mucus off his face with the back of his hand, looking down at Celia with cold eyes. Celia clutched her chest. It's a heartwarming feeling. Nonsense, a butcher covered in blood and holding a weapon with murderous intent standing in front of you, with an expression that looks like he may chop you into meat paste at any time, any normal person would be scared silly, isn't it the feeling of your heart beating faster? "Speak." Anti said, and Celia, who was frightened by him, came back to her senses. "We were captured!" Fortunately, she was thinking normally and responded decisively. From Celia, Anti finally learned about the ship that had knocked him down and the whereabouts of the people on board. They did not suffer too serious impact when they fell, just like Anti, who was mainly injured by the collision with the ship, and was not injured by falling. It can only be said that the big whirlpool was relatively considerate in this respect. But the ship was quite large, and it landed from the sky in the city of Havendes, which also attracted a lot of attention. They landed in a dense forest of huge kelp. It should be the kelp forest east of the city that Octopus Otto marked for Anti. When they first landed, although they were in an unknown situation, many people were still full of curiosity about this underwater world. As the convener, Lin Jinghong took the lead in organizing everyone and preparing to survive in this mysterious place. The ship was well stocked with supplies, but they also needed some sorting. The next step is to find those powerful guards and servants and let them explore the surroundings step by step. Very much in Lin Jinghong's style, he quickly stabilized the situation and made arrangements.
But this stability did not last long, because not everyone was willing to follow Lin Jinghong's command all the time. Once negative emotions surged, it was not surprising that they would even directly blame Lin Jinghong for the entire accident. After all, Lindsay had clearly targeted Lin Jinghong at the time, and many people had obviously seen this and used this as an excuse to attack her. Even though Lin Jinghong was also the victim who was inexplicably involved, people will not pay attention to these reasons when they are in a hurry. If we have the strength, we can suppress these voices by force. However, the bodyguards brought by these young masters and daughters are all equally strong. If Lin Jinghong cannot reach a consensus, there is no way to integrate this force. The brief moment of stability on the ship quickly broke apart. Another group of people are much more radical than Lin Jinghong, or it can be said that this is the first time in their lives that they have completely deviated from the predetermined trajectory given by their elders and are full of unfamiliarity and expectations. Then they attracted a group of crabs. Those crabs had hard shells and sharp claws. They could be used as hand cannons and were even good at infantry-tank coordination. Many bodyguards could handle a few crabs alone, but facing such a disciplined crab army with such fierce firepower, they would be injured or killed if they were not careful. With the help of Lin Jinghong's command in putting out the fire, Shang Liyu's firepower counterattack, and Nie Hong's surprise attack to disrupt the crab formation, they successfully repelled the opponent. After this battle, although the hull was not seriously damaged, the miracle protection mechanism was scrapped. Without the protection of the ship with no blind spots, the huge ship is full of loopholes in this place, which is really no different from a shipwreck. Then, not long after the battle with the crab army, the ship was invaded. The octopus easily swam into the ship without the protection of the miracle mechanism and began to kidnap people. It’s a good thing that the main purpose of these octopuses is to kidnap people rather than kill them, otherwise the outcome would be even more miserable. Celia was also one of the people captured, but after returning to the library, the octopuses became much more casual and threw them around randomly. Everyone struggled to try to escape, but found that this place was like a huge maze and they couldn't get out in a short time. Moreover, there were terrifying sea monsters everywhere, and everyone ran away without noticing. (End of this chapter)
