Chapter 1268: Thrown into the Heavenly Prison
The mermaids were propped up on the windowsill, cheeks resting on their hands, wearing dreamy expressions!
(σ︶σʃƪ) "Wow~ the little handsome fish walking at the back is so cool~"
(*⊘꒨⊘) "Really! His upturned eyes, crooked nose, and outward-turned fish lips—every bit of it strikes my little heart!"
(๛்～்)♡ "Lord Sharke is such a jerk. How could he bear to catch such a handsome little fish?"
(*͠ຈᆺ͠ຈ) "Love it! Love it! He's truly handsome—he's the white fish prince of my dreams!"
Daimon felt countless eyes on him, utterly uncomfortable!
What are they all saying over there?
(꜂꜆•̌ൠ•̑꜂꜆)ˀ̣ˀ̣
Only Jiangnan looked at the mermaids with a terrified expression!
=͟͟͞͞(꒪﹏꒪‧̣̥̇)
Damn!
What kind of shocking aesthetic is this?
Where is Daimon handsome?
Could they be mistaking him for a fish-head monster?
Right now, many passersby on the street were looking at Alice, their eyes filled with tangled emotions!
"Lady Alice still got caught? She's so pitiful. I kinda miss the time when she was in power."
"Ha~ miss what? Times have changed. Humans want to devour us, and Alice sided with them—she's a traitor!"
"Exactly! Only by following Lord Sharke can Lantis regain its glory!"
"But... ever since Lord Sharke took power, we've lost so many people. I..."
On both sides of the road, some were cursing, others sympathizing. For a moment, the discussion buzzed.
Alice's eyes were full of gloom.
But then Sharke raised his hand and shouted!
(⌯ﾟ口ﾟ)ﾂ "The preparation of the Heaven-Sacrifice Curse Array is almost complete! The Saintess is also captured! I will perform the sacrifice soon!"
"Beg the heavens to grant us the origin! Then the crisis of the Origin Stone's exhaustion will be resolved!"
"Lantis will surely continue its former glory!"
At that moment, countless Lantis residents cheered, their faces filled with fanaticism.
Jiangnan's scalp tingled when he heard this. They were already almost ready to summon a meteor shower?
Damn! Moving so fast?
Right now, the tidal forces were already unstable, and ocean disasters were frequent. The situation in Hua Xia wasn't optimistic.
If another wave of meteor showers capable of sinking the continental shelf really came...
The Yu Guo would definitely be lost, and the devastating disaster triggered would affect the entire Lan Xing.
We must not let this guy succeed!
Alice urgently said: (งớ﹏ờ)ง "Don't believe him! If you do, you'll only repeat the disaster of a thousand years ago! Wasn't the lesson back then enough?"
"The humans outside are already suffering disasters, and they will never let Lantis—the culprit—off!"
"Sharke is leading you to a dead end! It... pwah!"
Sharke punched Alice hard in the stomach, making her spit blood, her pretty face full of pain.
Sharke's eyes were wild: "What about the humans? What do I care? As far as I know, there is no one among the outsiders who surpasses my realm!"
"Once the Origin Stone arrives, I, Sharke, will definitely surpass the limit and become the second King Atlas!"
"As for you! Be the sacrifice and dedicate your life to Lantis! That is your fate!"
Alice bit her teeth: "Kill me! No one in all of Lantis will be recognized by the Origin Staff anymore!"
Sharke grinned: "I have her! She will be my wife, ruling Lantis with me!"
"Her bloodline is purer than yours. Our child's bloodline will surely be pure!"
"If one doesn't work, we'll have three! If three don't work, we'll have a hundred!"
Hai Di saw Sharke pointing at her and looked completely confused!
(๑•̌.•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "He... why is he pointing at me?"
Jiangnan earnestly translated!
(･᷅ὢ･᷄) "He said he's going to use Alice as a sacrifice to summon a meteor shower."
"Then he wants to marry you and have a hundred kids with you!"
Hai Di's eyes widened in horror, and she struggled desperately!
˚‧º·(˚˃̣̣̥᷄口˂̣̣̥᷅)‧º·˚ "Eeek—no! I don't want to marry a fish-head monster and have kids!"
"Can we negotiate? Let me be the sacrifice instead! I'm really good at being a sacrifice!"
"I voluntarily apply to be the sacrifice! You marry Alice! I don't want to be his wife! Wah—bleh bleh bleh!"
Hai Di was so scared she cried!
Sharke: (⌯❛ัヮ❛ั) "See! She's so moved by the good news that she's crying tears of joy, and even drooling with excitement!"
"Such a strong reaction—she must be impatient!"
Alice: (￢_￢) ...
The group was directly taken to a building called "Xiebaowang"!
This was Lantis's heavenly prison, the highest security level jail.
Jiangnan's mouth twitched as he looked at the building's sign!
"Damn Xiebaowang—there wouldn't be a rectangular yellow sponge living in a pineapple house working inside, would there?"
Sharke frowned: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "How do you know? Did Alice tell you?"
"This is Lantis's most cruel prison! It will dismember a prisoner piece by piece! Guaranteeing you die after suffering the maximum pain!"
"Good to know you're scared!"
Jiangnan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. So it really was Xiebaowang?
As soon as they were brought in, the group saw a few yellow sponges rubbing against the walls in the hall!
Cleaning the scale off the walls...
Jiangnan: (≖_≖) ...
Even if a crab warden or an octopus jailer appeared now, I wouldn't be surprised.
But no. Instead, a massive mermaid with an explosive figure, wearing starfish and clam shells, walked toward them!
Her head wasn't a human head but a huge hammerhead shark! Her appearance was extremely ferocious!
▀₍͠°д͠°₎▀
Totally disproportionate to her body!
"Lord Sharke, these people are..."
A Zhen's eyes immediately fell on Daimon, brightening as she swallowed saliva!
▀₍ᵒ̴̶̷дᵒ̴̶̷₎▀✧
"A Zhen? These humans are all to be used as sacrifices. Open the Empty Prison!"
"Yes, my lord!"
The group was led into the deepest room of Xiebaowang!
The room was very spacious. The walls were black stone, engraved with hardening incantations.
Below, many fish-men were imprisoned!
All were controlled by Padaxing, unable to move—most were members of the Elder Council.
Alice immediately panicked and shouted anxiously below!
(ง˃̣̣̥᷄口˂̣̣̥᷅)ง "Gunnima!"
"That's my Gunnima!"
Qian Benying: (ºДº*) ???
Alice is cursing people? Mermaids curse like that too?
Jiangnan coughed violently, sweat pouring from his forehead!
(￢﹏￢‧̣̥̇)
That must be your grandmother, right?
At this moment, Yao Hong and Haiselin looked at Jiangnan with a hint of resentment!
Let you not teach her properly!
Among the fish-men below, there was an old woman controlled by Padaxing!
She had a human body and a fish head, and because of extreme age, her fish face was wrinkled, covered in deep lines!
Seeing Alice captured, she shed hot tears!
"My grandchild! You... sigh~"
Jiangnan: ???
Wait...
Are you sure she's your grandmother? No mistake?
A beautiful mermaid gives birth to a beautiful mermaid?
Everyone was soon locked inside the Empty Prison!
Qian Benying and Yao Hong were chained to the wall with black chains!
Their limbs were all bound, not even able to move.
And Jiangnan, being a space-type, received special treatment!
His limbs were bound by huge black stone chains, and his whole body was suspended in the air!
Sharke came up to Jiangnan, squinting coldly: "If I'm not mistaken, the God-Slaying Cannon should be on you, right?"
"Hand it over! Or I'll make you taste the flavor of Xiebaowang!"
Jiangnan had a serious expression!
(･᷅◠･᷄) "You guessed wrong! The God-Slaying Cannon is on her! That pink-haired one!"
"She's also a space-type! Why am I the only one getting special treatment? It's not fair! She should be chained up like this too!"
"That's the safe way! Go interrogate her!"
Sharke's gaze fell on Qian Benying!
Qian Benying: ???
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "Hey! Damn Jiangnan! What did you tell him? Did you sell out the team?"
"You can't screw me over like this! We're on the same side!"
[From Qian Benying, Resentment Value +1000!]
Jiangnan's gaze shifted!
(๑◔₃◔ิ๑) "I... I would never sell out teammates! I was just praising your beauty!"
Qian Benying glared: (Oᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌) "Bah! I don't believe a word! You definitely sold me out!"
Sharke squinted: "I don't believe it either! Tough mouth, huh? Hand over the cannon!"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "I'm telling the truth! Why don't you believe me? I finally told the truth for once!"
"The cannon's not on me, it's on the pink-haired girl!"
Sharke punched Jiangnan in the stomach, making him spit blood!
"I see you won't cry until you see the coffin!"
Jiangnan: ???
Damn! I already confessed! Why are you still hitting me?
Why don't you believe me? You just have to go through the motions, right?
Just you wait!
Sharke suddenly grabbed the Sea-Rejecting Pearl hanging around Jiangnan's neck!
"Padaxing! Cut oxygen!"
Instantly, Jiangnan felt he couldn't breathe!
His heart was shocked!
He realized that under the spirit-binding state, the Sea-Rejecting Pearl had stopped working, and he had been holding his breath all along!
After being controlled by Padaxing, even without holding his breath, he wasn't suffocating!
So Padaxing had been providing him with oxygen?
Now, Jiangnan directly experienced the feeling of suffocation!
Sharke sneered: "Nowadays, humans can't breathe underwater without using abilities or spiritual power, or without tools and equipment!"
"Slowly experience the feeling of suffocation! Lack of oxygen in the brain, trachea filling with water—drowning is no pleasant experience!"
"I bet within three minutes, you'll reveal the ugly side of humans!"
Jiangnan puffed out his cheeks, staring fiercely at Sharke!
(◦ᵒ̌༥ᵒ̌◦)
This method is truly cruel!
Yao Hong and Qian Benying were worriedly watching Jiangnan!
But as time ticked by, after three minutes!
Jiangnan was still glaring at Sharke, not showing any sign of suffocation!
(◦･ิ༥･ิ◦)
Sharke: ???
"Hmph! Quite the lung capacity! Let's see how long you can hold. The human body has limits!"
After 25 minutes...
Jiangnan's face had turned purple, but he still hadn't taken a single breath!
Sharke: (´-ι_-｀) ...
Damn! Are you a fish?
Qian Benying was dumbfounded! Jiangnan can hold his breath this long?
The world record is only a little over 24 minutes, right?
At this point, Jiangnan was approaching his physiological limit. His brain was severely deprived of oxygen, and the oxygen molecules in his body were almost exhausted!
"Pwah—"
Unable to hold it, Jiangnan spat out a breath and entered an extremely dangerous state, beginning to suffocate!
Sharke sneered: "Hmph... nothing more than that! If you know what's good for you, then—"
But at that moment, Alice bit her lower lip, unable to bear it. Taking advantage of A Zhen's carelessness, she broke free!
She rushed to Jiangnan, cupped his face, and kissed him deeply on the lips!
