Chapter 395: Unverifiable Translation, False Destination

“I’m sorry, Octopus, but your terms make absolutely no sense.

Because the initiative has always been in my hands.

So here comes the question:
My companions, where are they?"

Alan clapped his hands and tilted his head to look at the octopus with a relaxed demeanor. The muscle lines on his arms that had bulged due to the stimulation of the Dragon Saint's fighting spirit were like ripples on the water that were gradually calming down, accompanying the end of his voice.

Restore the smooth streamlined state of the past.

At this moment, silence and noise coexist.

Octopus, looking at Cole's body on the ground.

His body was stiff, and his eyes, which looked misty and as if covered with paste, were motionless.

Alan, looking at the octopus.

He was not in a hurry to ask for a reply. He was smiling and talking, his eyes shining dimly in the shadows under the mycelium and between the hair. It was unknown what he was thinking about.

Cole was lying on the ground, his broken neck had the same white spine as a human's, stuck between another bone fence.

The exploded flesh fragments were scattered all over the ground. The head had not yet healed, and the bones mixed with flesh and blood were gushing out silver fish blood.

Of course, the silence is only theirs.

It has nothing to do with the prisoners.

They were as noisy as seafood vendors competing for customers in an aquarium window.

They all lay down on the edge of the bone fence.

The eyes on the cheeks, on the top of the head, on the mouth, and on the tentacles were all rolling around, and their tentacles, fish tails, and any organs of a certain length were sticking out from the gaps in the bone bars and wriggling in front of the minced meat.

They tried their best, like dogs, to attract the attention of their 'master'.

The mocking noise from before was gone at all.

At this moment, the nerve thread that Allen had just thrown on the ground and rolled into a thick hemp rope suddenly crackled and slapped the mud in the water cage in a disorderly manner, like thousands of silver wheatear fish caught in a fishing net struggling hard.

Then, thousands of "fish heads" as big as needle tips suddenly raised their heads!
Like fireworks blooming at Alan's feet, they stabbed at the minced meat scattered into pieces. There were not only huge pieces of meat like eyeballs, but also some rotten meat in the mud mixed in with the minced meat that could not be distinguished. Some of Cole's remains were also picked out by them accurately.

White, pink, red, and black.

With a rustling sound, a pile of minced meat was tied to thin silver threads and danced in the air, looking weird and inexplicable.

Then, the tentacles suddenly contracted together! In the eyes of Allen and the octopus, the decapitated body lying in the mud on the ground instantly formed a female head full of cracks, and then the cracks healed rapidly like shattered crystals.

Then, the black hair that had just been shredded by Alan's sword began to grow out from the top of the opponent's head at a speed visible to the naked eye, and once again covered the opponent's chest, covering the important part.

Beneath his hair, Cole's face was filled with fear.

Even with the ability to heal, no fish would want to experience what it feels like to have their brains blown apart.

And just now, she clearly felt that she had briefly embraced death.

The consciousness is completely blank, and there is no sense of existence.

This is completely different from previous healing situations.

After 'waking up', I only felt fear.

During this process, Alan did not obstruct the other party, but just watched the whole scene.

Seeing that the other party had returned to normal, his face showed the same panic as a normal human being, and he laughed.

"Besides looking weird, it does have pretty good healing abilities. So, how did you sleep, Cole?"

Cole's face turned green, and he jumped up from the ground with a wag of his tail, but he did not attack Alan again. Instead, he tried to retreat behind him in a hurry.

But it got stuck in the bone railing with a click.

——Just now, after Allen blew up the opponent's skull, only nerves were left in the head, so it was "just" thrown between the intact bone bars. After it healed, Cole's head was outside the cell with his stuck neck as the center, but his body remained inside the cell.

It's so funny, like a dog trying to escape from prison, but only popping out its head and getting stuck.

Alan smiled and bent over with his hands on his knees as he approached Cole who was in shock.

"It's really unfortunate that you are still trapped inside. Although I just said that I have the initiative, it seems that you are the one who is holding us back now.

Now, what do we do, Cole?"

Cole hadn't understood what Allen said until now. She looked terrified and confused, not knowing that Allen knew they couldn't speak the same language, and before he met the octopus, he acted like he didn't want to waste another word with her.

But now he is trying to talk to me.

What on earth is he doing?
As a result, before Cole could continue thinking, he saw Allen gently raise his hand.

“What can I do about this?
Oh, I got it. One more time.”

Cole's golden dragon pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, and the octopus beside him also shouted hurriedly.

"Wait"

late!

"Isn't that good?"

Alan waved his hands in the air, as if to tell the octopus to shut up, but as his hands waved, two invisible sword energy 'threads' were dragged out from the air beside him.

As Allen's last syllable of "Okay" fell, it slid from Cole's neck to his back like a gust of breeze.

The speed was extremely fast! Cole was suddenly cut into three pieces along the collarbone covered by the plump skin on the side of his neck and face!
Instantly! Silver blood spurted out! Internal organs flew out!
Allen grabbed the opponent's head! He easily pulled the opponent's middle-section "fish pig" out of the bone prison, and threw it out! With a snap! Like slaughtering a fish, he threw it on the white bone ground in the mud corridor outside that Allen had rolled out with the flow secret.

The moment he landed, Cole, whose cross-section was so neat that details of his internal organs could be seen in the fish's belly, struggled violently, but because he had no fins, no arms, and only a spine in the middle of his fish's tail, he was unable to stabilize his body balance.

The mud vortex around Allen splashed with mud flowers. The latter didn't even look at her, raised his hand and pressed the air, and two roaring sword energies smashed into the bone prison, and incidentally crushed the remaining bodies of Cole with their left and right arms into slag.

The prisoners in the bone prison fell silent, no longer wanting to watch the fun, and stiffly retracted their hands that were stretched out of the cell.

Fearing that Alan would continue to pray, they were divided into several pieces and taken out of the cell in this "efficient" way.

At the same time, the silver nerves on the ground once again stretched out from Cole's wound eyelashes and pierced into the cell one by one. In Cole's violent struggle, they still loyally brought the remains of their master back to her.

It swung fiercely around Alan.

The octopus was silent when seeing this.

Alan squinted at it.

"Did you mean to say 'wait'? What? Are you going to sell me your 'method' of escaping the bone prison again? Or..."

Grinning. "Are you worried about your former queen?"

The octopus head looked at Alan with its three eyes in silence.

I don’t know if it was because the brain was not blown up this time, or because Cole’s main body was not damaged too much, the broken body parts were dragged out from the gaps in the bone prison by the nerve threads, and quickly formed their own bodies around Cole.

This made Alan marvel, and reminded him of a comic book called "Ajin" that he had read in his previous life.

"Ow!!!"

At the moment when all the corpses gathered together, Cole let out a sharp cry!

The huge fish tail, filled with anger, pressed towards Alan's side.

If she was afraid the first time, then this time when she was cut into three pieces without any explanation, her fear turned into anger. She was determined to fight with Allen even if she was not humiliated.

However, the fish tail only swept past Allen's afterimage. The latter leaned forward and left the fishy wind behind him, suddenly grabbed Cole's neck and lifted her up.

"Are you sure you want to continue attacking me?"

Cole's fish tail stopped abruptly behind Allen's head and was let go unwillingly, flapping on the edge of the mud, his eyes filled with humiliation and anger.

His emotions are very obvious on his face.

Alan raised his brow.

"Humiliated, angry? Why are you humiliated? Why are you angry? Cole, have you forgotten that it was you who provoked me on the boat, and that your first attack from the fish was to kill me was not a lie at all, so what? Now that we've switched places, you've become the victim?

It wasn't you who wanted to kill me on the boat before?
It's so childish that it makes you just want to laugh."

Alan leaned in front of the other person.

"Since you want to kill me, you should be prepared to be killed by me. Besides, the current situation is that I am helping you escape from the Bone Prison, and you objectively received my help. How can you have the nerve to be angry?"

Cole glared at Alan and turned his head sharply to look at the octopus.

“Enough!” The octopus mouthparts quickly uttered human words, “Cole’s healing ability is limited in how many times he can heal. There is absolutely no need for you to consume each other’s strength!”

Alan turned his eyes to it.

"I didn't ask you."

The octopus' three eyeballs kept spinning in its sockets, and in the end, it could only look at Cole's expression staring at it, and reluctantly muttered a translation of what Alan said.

After hearing this, Cole widened his eyes and looked at Allen. His expression was urgent, but also had a hint of absurdity and an attitude of being eager to prove himself that was not understood.

“TR￥#%@￥@#%￥!!!”

Octopus looked at Alan, whose eyes never moved away, and could only continue translating.

"It's obvious that you killed the 'Secret Sword of the Dead Ghost' first. You are the culprit that caused the failure of my plan to return to land. What's wrong with me seeking revenge on you?

Moreover, I did go there just for revenge at first, but when I realized that you were also chosen by the Sea God, I immediately stopped. It was you who didn't listen to me and wanted to fight me. I said, I just want to make friends with you."

The octopus hesitated for a long time after translating this, and looked at Cole who was as impatient as an 18-year-old girl, and changed the "mating" that was about to be in his mouth to:

"To reproduce."

He continued translating.

"I explained it clearly, and you listened to what that stinky monkey said, but you still kept fighting me, and even wanted to kill me. I just wanted to seek your help and have a good relationship with you, but why do you keep trying to kill me again and again?"

Alan suddenly interrupted Octopus and spoke quickly.

"Don't talk nonsense. It is inevitable that I will kill you. A dead enemy is the best enemy. Now I ask you, where are my companions?"

Cole's golden dragon eyes widened, his teeth clacking, and as the mermaid language rang out, the voice of an octopus in a simultaneous interpretation machine also floated over as if it had accepted its fate.

“%%$%@#^%,￥%!@￥#”

"I don't know where they are exactly. After entering the Abyss Sea, I was imprisoned here by those traitors. But they are likely taken away. There is no magic power in the Abyss Sea. Those traitors need magicians to study the transfer magic circle leading to the miracle."

Finished saying this.

Alan looked at Cole who was very excited in front of him, and then looked at the three octopuses next to him who were all looking at him.

The former's sea fish language was sonorous and intense, as if he was venting some emotions.

The latter's human voice was inexplicably calm, as if he was reading from a textbook and had no emotions.

Alan suddenly laughed.

"I see. Then, where is the so-called magic circle that leads to the miracle?"

Cole and Octopus' voices sounded one after another.

"The royal capital, Arkham."
