I set you up on a blind date, and you've managed to overcome all the weirdness?

Lin Yan looked out the window and saw that the Deep-Sea Cradle was changing rapidly.

One by one, the chunks of meat swelled up, the outer layer burst open, and pieces fell off, revealing new skin and flesh.

The new skin was different from the previous one; it was covered with holes, and a tentacle protruded from each hole.

The whiskers are transparent, with barbs hanging down, and the human face is also preserved, hanging at the end.

In just a few seconds, the Deep-Sea Cradle transformed from a mountain of flesh into a giant jellyfish.

The glass curtain wall on this floor was already on the verge of collapse, and its movement stirred up layers of water, shattering the remaining windows.

As if things weren't going to go wrong, with a crack, the mermaid rune shattered and lost its luster.

The icy seawater rushed into my nostrils, and a burning sensation immediately spread through my chest.

Lin Yan knew that this was a sign of oxygen deprivation.

Black dots kept appearing before his eyes; he didn't have much time left.

Lin Yanxin gritted her teeth, bit her tongue, and forcibly brought back her reason.

"Get out there and get to work! Find its weaknesses!"

He roared from the depths of his consciousness, summoning the trembling lackey.

"Yes, Master!"

Narrator online:

"Watch out! Forty-five degrees to the left! That tentacle is about to shatter the support pillar on your left, but if you roll upwards, it will be a safe passage!"

With the narration as a guide, all that remains is to challenge the limits of the mortal body.

Lin Yan suddenly exerted force with both legs.

Previously, the Nine Revolutions Hell Bone Body had been tempered like a frying pan, and now it was unleashing a terrifying power.

With a single step, the concrete cracked open.

Using this momentum, Lin Yan bent over and kicked again, propelling himself out through the gaps in the steel bars.

He swerved between obstacles, using his saber to gain leverage on the metal with each turn.

The seawater roared in his ears, and the whiskers brushed against his back, missing him by less than a palm's width.

"Look down! There's a hidden arrow!" the narrator exclaimed in alarm.

Without even looking, Lin Yan did a somersault without hesitation.

With a "rip" sound, just as he lowered his head, several tentacles almost grazed Lin Yan's scalp.

No, we can't do that. It's like dancing on a knife's edge. One mistake and someone's gone.

Every time Lin Yan moves or rolls, if he is even a fraction of a second slower, he will be torn to shreds by these tentacles.

Moreover, in this oxygen-deficient state, the continuous high-intensity bursts also made Lin Yan suffer greatly.

He thought he just heard the sound of his muscles snapping, but he wasn't sure if it was a hallucination caused by lack of oxygen or if it was real.

But his eyes were surprisingly bright at that moment, and his adrenaline was starting to surge.

"Almost there, this is it!"

Lin Yan pushed off the wall and turned around, slicing sideways through the gap between the two intersecting tentacles.

Twisting his waist, lowering his head, stepping on the beam for leverage, he changed direction seven times in a row, gliding past the edge of a tentacle, and finally stopped directly in front of the monster.

The jellyfish's cries are unsettling, and the closer you get, the more nauseating you feel.

"Where? Where is its weakness?" Lin Yan asked the narrator while searching the jellyfish himself.

He can't hold on much longer; he needs to be killed with a single blow.

"I don't know, I don't know either..." The narrator hesitated and fell silent again.

Just when Lin Yan was almost in despair, a red dot suddenly lit up on the system panel.

It was a voice message from the mermaid.

"Its canopy!"

"It stripped me of nearly half of my authority, and the very source of those rules that were taken from me was right at the center of its umbrella."

"That's the core that keeps it running!"

Lin Yan looked up and, sure enough, a faint blue halo was shining through the depths of the jellyfish's bell!

What was originally the mermaid's authority has now become the monster's heart.

The Deep-Sea Cradle seemed to have sensed the danger as well.

It abandoned its indiscriminate sweeping, and its massive canopy suddenly contracted inward.

Lin Yan immediately swam upwards, trying to avoid the area covered by the canopy, but little did he know that a gaping maw of abyss was hidden beneath the canopy.

As the canopy retracted, the gigantic maw, no longer concealed, lunged straight at Lin Yan!

It wanted to swallow Lin Yan whole.

"Good timing!"

"I'm afraid you won't open your mouth!"

Lin Yan advanced instead of retreating!

He completely abandoned his defense, and with a flick of his right hand, a frog balloon instantly appeared in his palm.

Not only that, Lin Yan kept turning his wrist, and frog balloons floated in the water.

Lin Yan pulled out nine frog balloons in one go and threw them into the big mouth below him.

Just as the gaping maw was about to close, he was about to be swallowed up!

"burst!"

Lin Yan gave the order to detonate, and this time, the detonation was done in reverse order.

With a bang, the last balloon thrown out exploded first.

The balloon was closest to Lin Yan. The explosion pushed the balloon out of the mouth, offsetting some of the suction force of the giant mouth, and also pushed Lin Yan a little further away.

Taking advantage of the weakened suction, Lin Yan exerted all his strength and, with the help of the backdraft from the explosion, tumbled back.

I narrowly escaped by narrowly missing the giant jaws!

At the same time, the giant mouth swallowed the remaining eight balloons.

"Narrator! Give me my lines!"

Lin Yan's eyes were bloodshot. He had risked his life to get close to the giant maw just for this moment.

"Yes, yes!"

"Watch closely! These eight balloons are about to burst from the water pressure! But, at this very moment!"

"The eighth and seventh balloons also burst, pushing the balloons in front of them deeper into the air!"

"The remaining balloons burst one after another, the blast waves pushing the first balloon deeper and deeper, continuously seeping into the core of this giant jellyfish!"

"It overcame all obstacles of flesh and blood, it endured the most difficult moment of its life, and now it stands before the core, just one step away!"

"Goal!"

The first summoned balloon finally exploded, enveloping the jellyfish core.

The jellyfish's tentacles suddenly stopped, frozen in place.

Dozens of tentacles froze in mid-air, motionless.

Has it taken effect?

The tentacles began to bend and thrash, seemingly following some rhythm, and began to twist and turn in the seawater.

On the whiskers, countless human faces also changed, their mouths pulling towards their ears, revealing only pitch-black mouths.

It's done! This giant jellyfish is really doing the "social dance."

Lin Yan's tactics worked.

Lin Yan bet that a monster that only steals the rules has no intelligence and no mental resistance.

Lin Yan won the gamble, giving himself a glimmer of hope.

At the same time, this desperate counterattack also exhausted Lin Yan's last bit of strength.

He hadn't breathed fresh air in ages, and at that moment, his thirst for oxygen surpassed everything else.

The icy seawater rushed into his mouth, and he spat out strings of bubbles mixed with blood.

In the last moments before losing consciousness.

Lin Yan turned around and swam towards where the mermaid was.
