"This is impossible. I have never heard of this. You must be lying to me."
Eva didn't want to believe what they said and thought it was Richard's scam.
"Whether you believe it or not, this is true."
The devil said to her.
"It's really too much to actually do such a thing." Jaina on the side frowned and looked at the deformed fish-men with pity.
As a princess, she knows that this kind of thing happens from time to time, but most people don't know it.
"If this is true, then why don't you hate me? Logically speaking, as a royal, I should be the object of your hatred."
Eva gritted her teeth and asked.
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them shut their mouths, and the dark space suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
This made the four of them feel an icy chill coming from behind. It was a terrible feeling to know that there were hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at them around them, but they couldn't see them.
The old fisherman with barnacles on his head lowered his head and swam forward slowly.
"Princess, I'm dissatisfied with you for saying that those of us who are still sane here, as you said, hate the royal family, no, I should say, all the sea people who abandoned us."
"Then why..."
Eva did not continue speaking, as if she noticed something.
"Are you asking why we are so polite to you? We know very well that the people who come here are all the same as us. They are all abandoned by the tribe. They are either born with disabilities, contracted strange diseases, or because of
I did something wrong, or I was ostracized."
"In the long years of living under the sea, we have learned one thing, that is, we should not direct our anger at people who have the same experience as us. As long as you come to this hell, you are our family.
"
After some understanding, they discovered that although these Sea Tribe people trapped here looked scary, they were kind-hearted. The leader of the fish people did not say his name. He said that names have no meaning in this place, including
past.
He took the four of them around this extremely dark hell, and the fishmen around them followed them curiously.
"Is there really no exit here?"
Jaina suddenly asked.
"No, no one has ever left here alive. There is only one way to leave here, and that is death."
The other party replied.
"Wouldn't it be boring to be stuck here all your life?"
Rena suddenly asked.
Hearing this, the other party was silent for a few seconds.
"Maybe, but we don't feel it anymore."
"So what do you usually do?" Eva couldn't help but ask a question.
"Looking for food, a lot of things are rolled down here every day, including our food, but we just need some time to catch it."
As soon as he said this, there was an unsettling vibration all around him, and ash and small stones kept falling from above his head.
In an instant, those following behind suddenly disappeared into the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, the old man took the four people to the place where they slept. It was a place covered with a strange kind of seaweed. It was spread on the ground like moss, and several fishmen covering their eyes could be seen lying on it.
Soon, several people swam over with fish in their hands. They bit the fish into pieces and fed them to the seriously ill fishmen on the ground.
"master."
Seeing this scene, Reina couldn't help but look at the master, as if she wanted him to come to the rescue.
The Demon King slowly shook his head.
"There's nothing I can do." After saying that, the devil turned to look at the old man.
"To be honest, I admire you very much. You can still survive under such circumstances. Aren't you in pain?"
Hearing this, the old man showed a sad smile and shook his head.
"Pain? Haha! Hahaha! It is because of pain that we can survive. All of us here have the same pain."
The other party suddenly shouted, and for a moment, he looked like he didn't look like an old man.
Maybe he is not old, but living in this place all year round has made his appearance ugly and his skin wrinkled.
The Demon King frowned. The magic power here was very strange. The concentration was more than ten times higher than that outside. However, the magic power had been deposited for too long and had undergone strange changes, making it difficult for the human body to use it.
He didn't know what effects living here would have on his body, but it was certainly not harmless.
"You will also become one of us, come and accept our welcome ceremony."
The old man said suddenly.
Suddenly, several fishmen appeared around holding bright red things.
"What is this?" Jaina asked warily.
"A kind of fruit that grows here is very delicious. Because the quantity is rare, we all leave it to new members as a welcome gift."
Hearing this, the four of them fell into silence.
I have never seen these fruits before. They are red, like a heart, and they are still beating. They are very disgusting.
The thought of eating this damn thing made Eva retching and almost vomited it out.
No one would want to eat this stuff, not even the Demon King.
Judging from his experience of living for so many years, this ghost thing is definitely not a plant, and the magic power emanating from it is very unknown. There is no telling what the consequences will be if you eat it.
When his eyes turned slightly red and he saw through the bodies of these people, he immediately fell into shock.
These fish-men, no, they shouldn't be considered fish-men anymore. Their internal organ structure is completely different from that of Eva. Their internal organs were replaced by a huge insect, and even the most important heart has disappeared.
"We don't need the welcome ceremony. We don't plan to join you, nor do we plan to stay in this place forever," the Demon King said.
Hearing this, the surrounding fishmen suddenly became quiet.
The atmosphere instantly became terrifying. Gianna slowly held Rena's hand, and the four of them moved closer to each other to prevent any unexpected events.
The old man's face became frightening, his mouth was half-opened, and his facial muscles were trembling.
"No, no, don't eat!"
"Don't eat?"
“Don’t eat??”
Everyone around him repeated this sentence, like a constant echo.
"Then, you will become our food."
The old man suddenly said this, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Run!"
Jaina immediately released her magic, but in this deep sea, her freezing magic was not easy to use, and the magic here was weird, which weakened her magic.
But she still created several mirror-like ice walls, and suddenly a dazzling light flashed, making everyone around them scream.
"ah!!!"
"Run!"
"But where to run?"
"Don't worry about it, just run."
"Let me go! You have to go on your own!"
The devil grabbed Eva and led them to escape from here and swim into the depths of darkness.
"Don't let them go! Go chase them!"
Those terrifying fish-men immediately chased in the direction where everyone was fleeing.
