With a sigh, Dongyun pulled the fuse off the grenade and threw down the last grenade.
Just then, a disgusting yellow head popped out of the water and opened its mouth wide.
"BOOM!"
In an instant, the sound of explosions echoed across the sea.
Chapter 147 The New World!
"Boom!"
The deafening explosion echoed from the walking fish's enormous mouth.
In an instant, the large walking fish, which had been so lively just moments before, burst out of its eyes, tilted its head to the side, and sank helplessly into the sea.
died?
Floating in mid-air, Dongyun stared at the giant fish head that was gradually sinking on the sea surface. Suddenly, a system notification appeared in front of him.
[Gain the trait "Fisherman"]
died.
Upon seeing the newly added characteristic, Shinonome confirmed that the walking fish that had eaten the grenade was dead.
That makes sense; the grenade exploded inside the walking fish's mouth. Even if this walking fish is large, the inside of its head should still be quite vulnerable. It would be incredible if it survived.
Unfortunately, for every one walking fish that dies, there are countless others.
The large walking fish sank to the seabed, and the area it vacated was quickly filled by other walking fish.
On the dark red sea surface, countless walking fish floated, resembling a school of sardines, each one gazing up at them in the sky.
Every now and then, walking fish would leap up, trying to reach them as they floated in the air. But whether they were humans or angels in the sky, they were all unattainable for the walking fish on the surface of the sea.
Gabriel used magic.
The moment they took off and lost weight, Gabriel quickly spread her wings and released a levitation spell.
"Wow, that's amazing, like an astronaut."
Floating in mid-air, Ge Wuyuan was surprised.
"Don't move, all of you stay still. Your movements will only accelerate the depletion of my magic power."
Gabriel's expression was serious; her magical power was rapidly depleting.
They were still a long way from the bay, and her magic wasn't enough to make them float back.
Helpless, though very unwilling, Gabriel still stammered, "Xiaoyun, I need your blood."
She needs Dongyun's blood to replenish her magic. Without magic, they will fall into the sea, and judging from the situation in the sea, they will be swallowed by walking fish in an instant once they fall in.
why?
Are walking fish the only fish in the sea?
Or do walking fish not eat marine life?
Why do I keep bothering them and want to eat them no matter what?
"bring it on."
Dongyun looked at Gabriel, preparing to feed her blood again.
This time he's probably going to suffer a huge loss, otherwise they might not be able to make it back alive and the whole group would be wiped out at sea.
After saying that, Shinonome removed the bandage that Gabriel had personally wrapped around his wrist.
Gabriel silently approached Dongyun's side, and seeing the bloody wound on Dongyun's hand exposed to the air again, she spoke casually.
"do not die."
"Will not."
In an instant, darkness fell.
In the blink of an eye, the bright red sky was swallowed by darkness.
The sounds of waves, fish leaping out of the water, and falling into the sea all disappeared.
"Is everyone there?"
In the darkness, Shinonome's voice broke the silence.
Just as darkness fell, he felt a strong sense of unease, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
"I'm here, Xiaoyun!"
"I'm here too, I'm Shima Rin."
"Why did the blood moon disappear? Doesn't it usually disappear at dawn?"
A dazzling light appeared in the darkness (ah?), and the voices of three girls, Kagamihara Nadeshiko, Shima Rin, and Gabriel, rang out one after another.
So bright!
The light so close at hand made Dongyun squint and take two steps back.
It was during this retreat that he realized something was wrong.
Xiao Jia, Nadeshiko, Rin-chan, and...
"Tree?"
Shima Rin was stunned when she saw the tree beside her.
"Huh? So many trees?"
Upon hearing this, Kagamihara Nadeshiko also noticed the surrounding trees.
She involuntarily widened her eyes and looked at Gabriel, asking, "Are we back?"
"I don't know, I didn't use the Swiftness Technique."
Gabriel shook her head.
She wasn't sure what was going on either; judging from the surroundings, they didn't seem to have returned to or been near the camp.
By the light of the angel's halo, they realized they seemed to be in a forest.
They were surrounded by endless trees, while under their feet and around them were weeds, fallen leaves, and solid mud.
When Dongyun saw the muddy ground beneath his feet, he knew where his unease came from.
He had been floating in the air with nothing beneath his feet, but suddenly he found solid ground beneath his feet, which made his body immediately sense something was wrong.
Just like with injuries, some minor injuries won't be noticed by the brain unless the eyes see them. When the air beneath one's feet becomes solid ground, if one doesn't look at the muddy ground beneath their feet, their brain won't tell them that the air they're standing on has become earth.
After a moment of silence, Dongyun spoke.
"Have we time-traveled again?"
Upon hearing this, the three girls were all taken aback.
"Eh?"
Kagamihara Nadeshiko was dumbfounded.
Instead of returning to camp, are we entering a new world to survive in the wilderness?
Doesn't that mean they have to start all over again?! No way, no way!
"No way……"
Gabriel thought Shinonome was being a bit far-fetched, but then she fell silent when she thought of the cruise ship that appeared at sea.
It seems like it's not impossible.
They had many guesses as to why a luxury cruise ship would appear at sea, and she remembered that Dongyun had one guess that the cruise ship had traveled to the Blood Moon World just like them.
If that's the case, it would not only explain why the cruise ship was completely unprepared for the walking fish and was easily invaded and conquered by them, but it would also explain why, when she cast the Swiftness spell on and near the cruise ship, the location teleported by the spell was not the location she wanted to go.
Her teleportation technique is a spatial magic. If there are various problems with spacetime on and around the cruise ship, then it's normal that the location she teleports to is not under her control due to the spacetime turbulence.
Could it be that they really traveled through time?
If the cruise ship can cross from somewhere else, then it's possible for them to cross back through the out-of-control, problematic area the cruise ship crossed.
"No way……"
Gabriel muttered the same words she had just said to herself again.
Cruise ships come from civilized society, right? If they really traveled back in time to the New World, wouldn't that mean there are people in this world? There's a civilized society here?
The thought of this possibility filled Gabriel with indescribable excitement and exhilaration.
As Gabriel was lost in thought and muttering to herself, Shima Rin looked at Shinonome and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
"A little," Dongyun said, pointing to the trees in the woods. "There aren't any trees like these in our jungle, and the other plants don't seem to be either. The ground feels different underfoot, and don't you think it's colder than usual tonight?"
As he spoke, Dongyun saw a familiar green system notification in front of him. It was at the moment he saw this message that he had evidence to prove that they had traveled through time.
