Abyss Train

Chapter 747 Act.03 [Vitamins]

Foreword:

The first hunger of mankind is ignorance.

  --Victor Hugo

[Part ①: Near-death experience]

"Judas! What do you want?!"

"There's not a single piece of human flesh on this ship!"

"Where's the warehouse?"

"There is only silk cloth sent by Chen State to Xiantai. We have nothing to eat. I want to kill him."

"But."

"Fayi, I've had enough of your love-brained mind. He is the enemy - the gunsmith also said that only a dead enemy is a good enemy."

There was some liquid floating in the cabin, which was a bright red blood drop suspended in the air, constantly flowing out of Billy Horn's wound. Most of this blood was affected by the Vita mark and was affected by the soul of Fickwood Abby.

The dead blood eagle caused the spiritual energy of [A Way Out] to run wild, and the cold rain that originally fell from the clouds would gradually return to the sky.

Billy the Kid moved his fingers for a moment, and he circled back from the gates of hell and returned to the human world. His body made a horrible crisp sound, the Vita brand rushed in his blood, his swollen neck squeezed his trachea, and the feeling of suffocation woke him up from the nightmare.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a man and a woman in the second-floor cabin arguing about something.

——I seemed to hear the word "Fayi"?

  Do I miss her too much?

What are these two guys arguing about?

Are you scared by the blood eagle?

Billy Horn struggled to support his body, staggered to his feet and stood up.

Judah and Fayi immediately shut up, a crack appeared in their hearts. This guy just repelled two initial derivatives of the Incarnation Butterfly, and this record alone made Judah afraid.

Although Judah often uses derivatives of the original seed and treats these disasters as useful tools, Judah is also afraid of the incarnation butterfly.

If it is difficult to understand, let me give you a very intuitive example. Engineering experts who are exposed to explosives all year round are also afraid of the huge destructive power of explosives themselves.

Most of the immortals are cowards who are afraid of death. The holy blood in their bodies is unable to withstand the spiritual pressure of the Incarnation Butterfly. Once the delicate balance of holy blood in their bodies is broken, for the Incarnation Butterfly, these lowly lives with rich Vita marks in their bodies are delicious canned human flesh - much more delicious and tasty than ordinary Homo sapiens.

When faced with such natural disasters, the Alliance's usual method of dealing with them is either to summon a team of professional mercenaries to resolve the issue, or to offer enough blood sacrifices to fill the hole, transforming the Blood Eagle into a complete incarnation butterfly, and then letting the Primordial Seed naturally recycle these messengers of Hell.

From ancient times to the present, the derivatives of the original seeds have been a natural disaster, and even the top predators of this planet cannot resist the natural disaster.

Judging from the battle reports during the expedition period, there are only a few warriors who have modern firearms and soul power and can perform the bare-handed butterfly-tearing performance. The gunsmith once performed a set of anti-Original Seed derivative gymnastics in Eureka at a slight cost, and this set of gymnastics injured the gunsmith - this was a great feat that Judas could not understand or imagine.

In other words, Billy Horn's performance just now scared the two alliance leaders - he repelled a blood eagle, threw it into the river, and then killed the other blood eagle completely.

Judas dared not say anything, for fear that the young man might hear the outrageous words he had just uttered.

The same was true for Fayi. Facing her lover who was seriously injured and covered in blood, she was afraid that her true identity would be exposed, and the fear brought by the desire to survive controlled her.

"Foyanini." Billy was worried about his younger brother. He ignored the two "passengers" and looked towards the dark corner of the cabin.

Fuanini was still unconscious, and the boatman brother's right leg was completely ulcerated. It was torn and sucked by the blood eagle. This leg was rich in insect eggs with the Vita mark. In this special spiritual pressure environment, the belly of this innocent and helpless poor man gradually bulged, and "fingers" could be seen supporting the clothes. It was Madam Bai wriggling in the abdominal cavity.

"Oh no. Oh no."

Billy finally reacted and quickly raised his watch to look at the data.

The outdoor survival watch not only has a compass, but also a set of spiritual disaster concentration probe instruments.

  [Psychic Disaster Concentration: 331%]

The pointer on the dial was completely frozen and could not move at all. After twisting three full circles, the spirit insects in the movement reached a reading of three times the standard spirit disaster concentration and entered a state of suspended animation due to slow dehydration. It could no longer work normally.

Billy Horn suddenly realized and finally began to check his body.

His right arm was swollen and enlarged, with papules pressing against each other, squeezing out all the lubricating fluid in the joint cavity. He could hear the cartilage popping whenever he moved his arm a little - that was the sound of the muscles overgrowing after being corroded by the Vita Brand, the blood coagulating in the gaps in the muscles, and the air being expelled during movement.

This phenomenon is called "the whistle of the witchcraft insect" in the medical departments of the Nine Realms. Hearing this clear "da da" sound means that the patient is in great danger. If there is no panacea, the patient may skip the death gate stage and die completely in just a few minutes.

Billy took off his clothes and exposed his belly to get a clear view of the insect nest inside.

As a result, this glance almost sent him away——

——He had half a hanging piece of green intestine skin left outside his body, running down his trouser legs and dragging all the way on the floor.

He himself didn't realize that his body was almost exhausted.

The Blood Eagle had left too many wounds on his torso and abdomen, and now the blood was almost drained. It seemed like a miracle of life that he could wake up again.

The pain has disappeared, which is not a good thing. It means that the Vita brand has penetrated deep into the spinal nerves, and a large number of pain nerves used to sense the body's organs have died.

"He is at his weakest now." Judah whispered to Fayi, "Kill him, go and kill him."

Fayi just felt it was unreasonable and whispered, "Leader, let's not talk about whether I can do this or not. You want me to kill Billy Horn? Kill the person I love the most?"

Billy couldn't hear what they were saying, except for the initial contact of the back of his head with the board, which allowed him to hear some sounds through some bones. But after he stood up, the whole world became cold and silent again.

Without hesitation, he limped towards the package like a dying zombie.

But when I got to the window, I couldn't find my backpack.

——There is no panacea to be found.

  why? Why?

Billy Horn's brain was not working; he was starved of blood and oxygen.

  Why, where did the life-saving medicine go? Why?

"Aren't you hungry, Fayi? Aren't you hungry?" Judah's face was ferocious, and when he said these bold words, he didn't want to get close to Billy Horn at all. He was as cautious as he was with the gunsmith. He was afraid of these warriors with amazing explosive power and was never willing to face violence. He was weak, he was wise, and he would impose on others what he didn't want others to do.

"I've taken the backpacks from these two guys."

"In addition to some log records, six dumplings, a few pieces of scrap copper and iron, two summoning bells, and more than 200 milliliters of panacea."

"Man's first hunger is ignorance. Now he is trapped in this hunger. This is a great opportunity."

"He can't heal himself now. Before he figures things out, before he finds us, you have to kill him." "Only you can do it."

Fayi almost cried out in anxiety: "Leader! Why can't you let him go?!"

Judah said angrily: "What are you talking about? Fai Frosalin? What are you talking about?! Do you know that Io created you again and again, and resurrected you again and again, not for you to talk about love! You must be loyal to me, obey me, help me accomplish great deeds, and help me fill the Dagda Cauldron, the holy grail of flesh and blood."

  [Part②·There will be an echo]

"Do you want me to do this myself?" Faye stepped back involuntarily. She had already seen Billy's face, the bloody, confused and helpless face - she seemed to be able to feel Billy Horn's heart.

It was a desperate feeling of anger, loneliness, helplessness and sadness.

It was difficult for him to think in complex terms, and he just didn't understand why the life-saving elixir suddenly disappeared.

He saw Judas, but he had no intention of killing him because his brain was almost shut down and he could not recognize this man.

With his one eye covered by blood, it was difficult to distinguish the outline of the package in Judah's arms, and naturally he could not tell who the luggage belonged to.

  He just felt angry and thought it didn't make sense. He clearly put his luggage on the bench by the window, so why did it disappear?

His brain could only support this point and could no longer think about more complex problems. He could not support the logical chain of suspicion of victimization, nor could he think about other people in the cabin.

Billy the Kid was like an old man with a gray beard. He just sighed and chanted a curse over and over again, squeezing out hoarse questions from his dry and cracked vocal cords.

"How come it's gone? How could it be?"

"How come you are clearly here?"

"how could be?"

From time to time, a green aura could be seen from Billy Horn's body.

——As these questions were raised, they flashed in and out, drilling in and out of wounds all over the body.

This is also the description of the spiritual disaster environment in the subject of General Psychic Power. The special spiritual pressure will stimulate and promote the transformation process of the human body. When facing the holy beast, the gunsmith and the crying general were accumulating experience points just by breathing.

Billy Horn was relying entirely on this spiritual power to survive, as his physical body was on the verge of collapse.

"Really?" Fayi Frosalin's face was full of tears: "Do you really want me to do it myself?"

"What else!" Judah cursed, "You bitch! Do you want me to get close to that guy?! Do you know how scared I am?"

At the bottom of the Nine Hells, in the cold abyss of the Hell of Betrayer, Judah uttered the same words to Faye when he saw the spirit of Fragrant Dream.

He has never been a brave man, nor a leader with great responsibility and extraordinary courage. He has many dark sides of human beings. His desire for life and pursuit of power have made him climb step by step to his current position. In Judah's view, the necessary way to survive is never to face violence directly, but to avoid violence and use violence.

"Maybe if I wait a little longer." Fayi regretted saying this, "Maybe if I wait a little longer, he will die? He..."

Because she was torturing herself—

—Perhaps if she waited a little longer, she would never see Billy Horn again.

She was unsure of the intentions of the Goddess Io. After all, she was just a puppet, a witness to the [divine] miracle, and a soul power emitter.

Judah signed a contract with the goddess Io regarding the Dagda's Cauldron. As a witness to the transaction, she was merely a tool pulled over by the goddess Io from a parallel universe.

She couldn't decide how to use or activate [Divine Grant]. This soul power was even more chaotic and difficult to control than Duran's [Timeline]. Unless she got the instruction from the Goddess Io and her mother's permission, she could use the power of [Divine Grant].

Wait a little longer?

  If I wait a little longer, will things get better?

Will Billy Horne just go down? Will he just obey and turn into steaming human meat?

Fayi and Judah were both starving. It had been six hours since they last ate, and Judah had just completed the blood-donating ceremony - he needed to replenish a large amount of essence.

  Hunger will slowly push them to the brink of death. If Billy Horn wakes up, how will Fayi eat meat and drink blood on this passenger ship with no one at the helm?

"No, that's not right! No, no, no, no! No!"

Fayi didn't think twice and snatched the backpack from the leader's arms.

  Judah wanted to call upon the [Midas Power] to stop the crazy woman, but the vulture spirit dissipated into thin air as soon as it began to flap its wings - he suddenly realized that he was already too weak and was about to fall into death's door!

He was really too hungry. The high mental pressure and the cold rain and wind took away too much energy. He didn't even have enough spiritual energy to maintain his soul power.

Faye Frosalen opened the jar of panacea and poured it over Billy's stiff body.

In just over twenty seconds, Billy Horn's festering body gradually healed.

His facial features slowly recovered, and the necrotic right eye squeezed by the pustules and papules was naturally pushed out by the new eyeball. His shrunken intestines completely left his body, and bursts of sharp screams came out of his body - it was the overly powerful drug power that killed the adult worms, melted and crushed the White Lady's larvae, and turned the Vita brand into vitamins.

His ankle bones were covered with black and purple scabs, and he could hardly flex or extend his leg, but it was still usable and could be considered healed.

His two arms had swelled almost a full circle, and without surgical cutting and trimming, the swollen muscle tissue remained deep in the skin forever. After the inflammation and infection were eliminated, several tumors still remained in both arms.

The sudden pain distorted Billy's face. His spinal nerves were reconnected and his fingers regained touch. He leaned against the window sill and took a few deep breaths of fresh air. The cold wind blowing from the river bank made his eyes clear.

He turned his head, his face full of beard, almost turning into a savage.

He first slapped his head to knock out the blood and powder in his ear holes, and then said something to Fayi Frosalin.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."

His teeth were chattering and his tongue was a little tangled, but he knew that it seemed that the woman in front of him had saved his life.

Judah couldn't move, didn't dare to say anything, because Fayi Frosalin made the right choice.

He clearly saw a blood eagle monster climbing up from the large bamboo roll used to balance the waterline on one side of the deck.

——That was the familiar face that Billy Horn failed to kill in the first round. It fell into the river but was not completely dead. It ate enough fish, shrimp and snails in the water. Layers of river clams and shells hung on its body. It absorbed a lot of essence from the river and aquatic products and rebuilt a spine. It crawled back again!

Judas panicked and immediately hid beside Billy Horn.

Without hesitation, he dropped all his dignity and slid down on his knees, his knees very flexible.

"Hero! Hero, save me! It's not over yet! There are still monsters!"
