Chapter 168: The Devil’s Temptation
Chapter 164 – The Devil’s Temptation
The prison cell in the bottom cabin of the Bone Eater Shark was dark and humid, the low-lying areas gathered seawater that seeped in, and there were also thin, long, slimy, intestinal-like strange worms wriggling around in there, and there was no telling where they were spawned from.
Although they looked unhygienic, these worms were rare food and toys in the prison’s mouth, only this time the guests had some picky tastes and didn’t touch them.
However, this was not surprising, this delicate girl wearing a white tutu with brown hair and blue eyes was the third princess of the Queen’s Island, her status was noble, so she would play with bugs.
“Isn’t the soul of a sinner enough?!” Shu Liya felt the vibration from the shell hitting the hull, as well as the sounds of killing and the blood seeping in, which undoubtedly increased his sense of urgency, at this time he did not even care about his cut fingers, and put all his hopes on the black magic book in the inverted pentagram drawn with his own blood.
“The mysteries of this world are nearly severed, even the souls of the devil’s favorite sinners are like bread crumbs dropped on the table, if I didn’t have no choice, I wouldn’t be able to eat them at all, let alone use these crumbs to fill my stomach to regain my strength.” The voice coming from the black magic book was full of complaints, but there was no delay in devouring the souls of the Bone Eater Shark pirates that were attracted to the table, after all, as a prisoner locked up for hundreds of years, bread crumbs were also a rare delicacy.
At this time, Owen who was standing at the stern of the ship preparing to intercept the Bone Eater Shark gunboat that was returning to the rescue suddenly froze, then stared closely at the ship that was still engaged in a tragic gangway battle.
“It’s not a demonic aura, although it’s equally evil, it strangely carries a sense of order.” Such a distinctive characteristic immediately reminded Owen of an existence that was in love with demons, devils.
Compared to the chaotic and evil demons, the devils, although equally evil, were very preachy, even if they pitted you, they made it impossible for you to pick a fault.
It can be compared to a salesman, what the devil says is indeed true to some extent, the problem is that there are too many exploitable places in it, if there is a dispute between the two sides, you can imagine who will take advantage of it.
Of course, compared to the devil who comes up and cuts, at least those who are targeted by the devil can live for a while longer, if they are smart enough, they may be able to use their souls and lives from the devil where to exchange the benefits of dashing for a period of time, although this kind of behavior is even worse than borrowing from loan sharks, but at least they have enjoyed it, from a certain point of view, the devil is indeed more preoccupying than the devil.
“Where did the devil come from here?” Owen muttered and whispered.
After fusing the Ancient Blood, Owen’s perception was no longer limited to individuals, and with the knowledge provided by multiple professions, he had a deeper understanding of the elements, of space, and of the world.
For example, the mystery of this world could not be said to be nonexistent, it could only be said to be very low, existences like devils and the like would rarely set their eyes on this kind of world, because the higher the mystery, the higher the quality of life and souls nurtured by the world, no one would let go of their gourmet food and instead go eat gutter oil.
What’s more, the lower the mystery of the world, the more difficult it would be for such existences as devils to invade, because of the lack of medium.
It was like lightning, although powerful, if there was no medium to conduct it, it was just a ray of light.
So if that was really a devil, then the state must be terrible.
After meaning this, Owen rubbed his chin, a little dumbfounded.
This was a great opportunity for Owen, because this devil couldn’t be too strong, because too strong to even look at this world, much less be trapped here.
Likewise it couldn’t be too weak, because too weak would have died out long ago.
And Owen guessed that the other party is now in the sealing state, because only in this way can exist in this low mystery world for a long time.
Owen’s perception is very high, before did not sense, because the other party was sealed, now this devil can not wait to devour the soul intends to break free from the seal, so the tail revealed. A real devil, the temptation for Owen was not low.
As an employee of hell, devils had no life span limit, so even a small devil might be able to grasp the hidden secrets and secret techniques of countless worlds.
Therefore, knowing that summoning a devil was risky, there were still people who had their fingers crossed, such as Owen.
Although he possessed the system, Owen’s understanding of the world was not much different from that of an ordinary person, and even if he had acquired part of the mage’s knowledge, it could not change this point.
Right now the devil is undoubtedly a good teacher, as long as you can carry it without being pitched to death.
Owen’s heart was moved, the sea battle in front of him was no longer able to get his attention at all, so he immediately summoned the huge-sized Snake Demon.
More than ten meters long snake demon as thick as a bucket, coiled on the deck when scared the ship’s pirates in disarray, there are even people overly aggressive jump into the sea.
However, these were all new recruits, and the old men all acted very calmly, and quickly used slaps and curses to calm these newcomers down.
When they learned that the snake demon is their side, the newcomers are very excited, after all, the pirates, foxes and tigers, the dog fights for the people’s power is a must.
“After I leave, this ship is given to you to command.” Owen said calmly to the old Rui, and then without waiting for a face full of bitterness to open his mouth, he directly stepped on the snake’s head.
With his master standing on top of his head, the snake demon very carefully slid down from the deck into the sea, then twisted his long body to swim towards his target.
The whole process Owen did not move, this is the ancient blood brought some changes, such as the elf-like super balance and flexibility, so that he can even perform upside down splits on the railing plus a horse, if he is a woman, with this ability, the posture reserve at least doubled, the bride price does not have a seven-figure exemption.
The two ships are engaged in a grueling gangway battle, you and I stabbing knives, musket ports almost dislike the enemy’s nostrils to fire, and even some unafraid of death are still firing, this shells have not had time to see more, head-on in the enemy’s deck, the fight is very tragic.
Because of this, everyone’s attention was focused on the opposite side, no one noticed Owen who came on board from the other side.
Getting down from the snake’s head, Owen then summoned the Green Ghost and the Goat Demon, leaving them to create more kills on the enemy’s deck while he entered the ship.
One unlucky pirate had his neck cut, Owen knew it was Abigail’s doing, it seemed they had boarded the ship early.
Summoned the Slime Queen, despite its huge size, but as a Slime, narrow space was never a problem, instead it was more suitable, at least with the Slime Queen’s protection, Owen didn’t have to worry about being attacked.
Moreover, the Slime Queen nowadays already has the characteristics of some non-Newtonian fluids, for the defense of cold weapons in general, but the defense of blunt weapons and firearms is very significant, not to mention the lead bullets shot by muskets, even small-caliber artillery can’t injure him, otherwise where would Owen have the guts to break into the enemy’s camp alone.
