Reborn as a Giant Scorpion: Evolution by Consumption - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Tentacles Kill

After the sea monster suffered a loss, it went into hiding.

Alex was also searching for its traces, but there were no clues in the short term.

It was terrifyingly quiet in the darkness.

Mose searched along the corridor, breathing in the thick smell of blood in the air, and everyone’s nerves tensed up.

“Boss, this situation is too strange. Don’t you have a spy? Ask him what happened,” Michael reminded.

Mose hesitated for a moment, then took out a short-range communicator and switched it to a particular channel. He said softly, “Sirius, this is Fierce Tiger. Please respond if you hear me. Please respond if you hear me.”

After a while, a low voice came from the communicator. “Fierce Tiger, this is Sirius. Where are you?”

Mose said, “I’m in the hall now. What happened? Why is no one on the cruise ship? Where are those people hiding?”

Sirius’s voice came from the communicator. “The man-eating sea monster attacked us. It killed everyone on the ship. I’m hiding now. It’s too terrifying. I’ve never seen such a terrifying scene in my life.”

“The terrifying man-eating monster hasn’t left yet. Be careful.”

As soon as he said that, Mose heard a scream from the deck above, followed by the sound of gunfire. Something had happened up there.

“Walter, what happened?” Moses asked anxiously.

“Boss, there’s a monster up there. He took Mulligan away. It’s a huge tentacle. It’s useless even if we shoot. It’s very fast. We didn’t have a chance to react. Moreover, there are two sharp claws at the tip of its tentacle. I saw it pierce through Mulligan’s body and pull him into the darkness.”

Listening to Walter’s fear in the communicator, Mose’s face was full of solemnity.

Was there a mysterious sea monster that ate people?

All the tourists on the ship were dead and eaten by this sea monster.

When they came in, no wonder they didn’t see any corpses… not even a single corpse. It turned out that it ate them all.

Mose felt a chill go from his heels to his head. If that was the case, the situation was terrible.

“Where are you guys? We’re all together now. If we split up, we’ll only give this sea monster a chance to attack one by one. I’d like to see if this sea monster is that powerful. Let’s see if it can resist seven or eight submachine guns,” Mose said viciously.

“Boss, we’re on the deck of the fourth floor now. The sea monster captured Mulligan. I must find it and then use a bullet to kill it!” Walter’s voice was full of anger.

“Okay, wait for me.” Mose cut off the communication.

When Mose and the other three arrived, Walter and the other three were standing back to back. They raised their submachine guns and looked around nervously. Cold sweat was dripping down their foreheads.

“What happened just now? Did you see it? What kind of monster is it?” Mose asked solemnly.

The others shook their heads. Walter said gloomily, “It’s too fast. Its body is like a snake. In front of it, there are two claws, emitting white cold light.”

At this moment, Henry shook his head. “I don’t think it’s a snake. It’s more like the tentacles of some creature.”

Walter was surprised. “Buddy, if a tentacle is this big, I really can’t imagine how big the body is. If that’s the case, we can’t deal with it at all because it’s too big.”

Mose’s face was also a little solemn. He said casually, “I have a spy here. He’s hiding in the storage room at the bottom. Let’s go and find out what this damn thing is before we make any decision.”

The others nodded. At the moment, this was the only way.

Just as they were about to move, the giant tentacle attacked once again.

Everyone in the hall raised their guns at the same time and fired at the black shadow that was attacking them.

However, two other black shadows attacked from behind them like lightning and captured two mercenaries.

Following the screams, the two mercenaries disappeared into the darkness.

Walter shouted, “F*ck, there’s more than one monster. There are at least three of them. Peter, Rick, where are you? Can you hear me?”

Peter and Rick were the names of the two mercenaries the monster had taken away.

In a short period, there were only seven of them left. Even though these mercenaries had experienced many battles, they could not help but tremble when facing this unknown terrifying creature.

Alex watched everything quietly from the darkness.

As a witness, Alex saw it more clearly than the mercenaries.

The giant creature that had captured the mercenaries was an unusually thick tentacle. This mysterious creature was most likely a mutated octopus.

The tentacles of this sea monster were at least 20 meters long. Judging from this, the size of this sea monster was shocking.

So far, Alex had seen a total of three tentacles.

If it was a mutated octopus, in addition to the tentacles that he had seen before, it should have six more tentacles.

However, the tip of the octopus’s tentacles was a fleshy sucker, and this was a slender, sharp, half-ossified claw. This half-ossified claw was very sharp.

The claws of this sea monster could easily pierce into a person’s body, just like a knife stabbing into a loaf of bread.

Mose and the others did not dare to hesitate. They ran to the bottom of the cruise ship.

The group of people walked in the darkness in fear. Everyone’s back was drenched in a cold sweat.

When they reached the bottom of the cruise ship, Mose knocked on the door of one of the storage rooms. “Sirius, I’m Tiger. Open the door quickly.”

After a while, he opened the door. A man in a white shirt and glasses stuck his head out like a frightened little mouse.

Moses immediately grabbed his collar and pushed him into the storage room. He said fiercely, “You’re Sirius.”

The man in the white shirt pushed his glasses and said, “I am, but you can call me Nansha now.”

“Good, very good.” Mose gritted his teeth and said, “I need you to explain to me what is going on here. What is that monster?”

Nansha said, “It’s very simple. The cruise ship broke down for some reason. A sea monster attacked us. The monster ate up most of the games. Only a small fish like me who escaped the net survived.”

Mose sneered, “You broke the cruise ship on purpose, right?”

Nansha hesitated for a moment and said, “Now I have nothing to hide. I was the one who sabotaged the cruise ship.”

Mose looked at Nansha with contempt and said, “I feel sad for your boss. He may have spent a fortune on building this ship. Your boss is unlucky to have met you.”

Nansha had a hint of anger on his face, but when he saw Mose’s submachine gun, he had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart.

“I am the owner of this ship,” Nansha said.

The others were all stunned when they heard that.
