Chapter 831 - You Should be the One Who Gets Lost First (1/2)

Hearing these cries, Jin Hao quickly looked at the screen. Then, everyone was surprised by what they saw.

On the massive boat from afar, the ability users were aguishly hugging their own heads. Their faces were contorted and bleeding in pain. One of them threw up blood and dove straight into the river.

Some people were frantically hitting something on the deck. The corpses that they had salvaged from the river seemed to have turned into frightening creatures. One of these creatures even grew out several ten-centimeter long tentacles from the corpse’s appendices before striking at a man nearby. The tentacles then extended and waggled into the man’s mouth. A moment later, the man lay on the floor, wriggling his body in agony as a large amount of blood bled out of his body.

Jin Hao stared at the screen in shock.

“What… What’s going on?!”

The others widened their eyes when they saw what was happening on the screen.

They recognized these tentacle creatures.

“Those are Ichortoids!”

The Ichortoids were low-tier insectoids. Most of the insect-like ultra beasts were, at most, G-tier. These revolting creatures tend to lurk in areas where large amounts of blood and corpses lay around—especially when these corpses and blood were brimming with highly condensed energy.

Ichortoids were weak against fire. To add more, without blood, these creatures would be dead in a rather short time. Their attacks were weak and pathetic; but they were deadly to awaken humans and G-tier ability users.

Thus, the people from the realm Qin Feng came from did not pay much attention to these insects. The Ichortoids that they knew were at most about thirty centimeters long.

However, the Ichortoids that appeared in front of them… these things were rather different than the Ichortoids that they knew.

“These are mutated Ichortoids. They are almost as powerful as C-tiers! But… but it’s really weird. Our scanners did not detect them at all earlier!” Jin Hao’s fingers danced feverishly on the keyboard as he scanned whatever that was happening on the Altaar Corporation’s airships. He double-checked his monitors and scanners; but it seemed that they were not malfunctioning.

“These Ichortoids tend to use blood as their cover. It’s understandable if you did not detect them earlier.” Qin Feng explained, “This is why I’m asking you all to never take off your protective gears.”

Recalling Qin Feng’s orders earlier, Jin Hao finally understood why his President was so cautious in this operation. He felt a chill down his spine after giving it some thought. If they were as careless as the Altaar Corporation, they would have also met with the same gruesome fate too.

These were C-tier mutated Ichortoids! With just a few drops of blood, they could invade their bodies with little to no problem. The protective gears that Qin Feng gave them were covered in dark runes, which would make the Ichortoids think that they were not living creatures.

However, the salvagers from the Altaar Corporation dove into the river and got themselves soaked in blood, resulting in all of them being infected by the Ichortoids.

Witnessing whatever that was going on with his employees and underlings, Cleaves’s face turned as grim as a crow. There were about sixty men on that boat and about twenty of them got infected by these Ichortoids.

As the rest of the crew ran to the other side of the deck, the Ichortoids instructed their hosts to move closer to these people in order for them to get the rest of them infected.

Thud!

A massive, one-meter wide Ichortoid showed up from the river, ramming its body against a water vessel’s shell. Then, it started to wrangle its tentacles around the vessel, seemingly intending to pull it into the depth of the bloody river.

“These imbeciles!”

Cleaves could not hold it in anymore and finally launched his attacks.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boooom!!
