Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 567

Taiichiro groaned, feeling a sharp pain all over his body.

For a split second, he almost couldn't stand up.

Then the tentacles surged towards Taichiro in a frenzy.

Ron witnessed this scene.

He knew that if he went up to rescue Taiichiro now, the tentacles would likely quickly plug this weakness.

They won't be able to escape then.

But what if I just stand by and watch someone die?

They will feel extremely guilty after escaping this weakness.

There was no way Taiichiro could have survived.

In that instant, Ron had already made his decision.

He suddenly turned around and rushed towards Taiichiro.

Taiichiro was terrified when he saw Ron rushing towards him and shouted loudly.

"Go quickly, go quickly, don't worry about me."

186. Obstruction

But Ron had already rushed over, rapidly hacking at the broken sword in his hand.

Each strike used all his strength, instantly cleaving the nearby tentacles in two.

Taiichiro was extremely anxious. He cursed loudly while trying to get Ron to leave as soon as possible.

But he also knew that Ron would never give up on him so easily.

The next second Ron had just grabbed his hand, but then countless tentacles swarmed over.

The tentacles are attacking at an increasingly faster speed.

Moreover, their strength is quite formidable.

Previously, Ron was able to sever one or two tentacles with a single strike.

But now, as Ron slashes wildly, those tentacles are actually able to withstand the power Ron unleashes and quickly approach the two of them.

Ron's expression changed slightly.

These tentacles seem to be stronger than before.

Taichiro said.

"It seems that neither of us can live without the other now."

Ron, however, refused to believe it and quickly swung the broken sword to form a defense.

Then he grabbed Taichiro and rushed towards that weak point.

Although some time was wasted before, it seems there is still hope.

The weakness was not hidden by these tentacles.

Taichiro said.

"When these tentacles were attacking me just now, I suddenly noticed that they seemed to have a certain characteristic."

Ron asked, somewhat surprised.

"What characteristics?"

Taichiro said.

"These tentacles all seem to have a very familiar aura."

They are all controlled by the same force.

Ron said.

"That's natural. These tentacles are controlled by the curse, so naturally he's the only one controlling them."

Taiichiro shook his head and said...

"No, that's not right. I can sense that these tentacles don't seem to be connected at all."

Although the same person controlled him, their connection was not close.

Ron was a little puzzled.

"What does this mean?"

He didn't understand at first.

Taichiro said.

“Look at those tentacles, they are all able to gather together in a disciplined manner.”

But when they formed large tentacles, they suddenly became chaotic.

It seems they don't share the same goal at all.

Ron was taken aback; he hadn't noticed that before.

After Taiichiro reminded him, he looked back and found that it was indeed as Taiichiro had said.

As these tentacles coalesced into larger tentacles, they suddenly became chaotic and began to dart around in all directions.

Although such large tentacles are very shocking.

However, their effects are nowhere near as good as the small tentacles.

Therefore, in the previous battles.

Ron was able to withstand the attacks from the large tentacles, but the smaller tentacles were a constant source of annoyance for them.

These tiny tentacles possess independent consciousness.

Therefore, they know which direction to attack from.

They had already made a plan beforehand.

However, the large tentacles are different; they are composed of countless small tentacles, each possessing its own will.

But these little tentacles each have their own ideas.

Ron said.

"So what do you mean?"

Taiichiro let out a breath.

He said he felt extremely weak and had difficulty even speaking a single sentence.

"Maybe we can design them to turn into giant tentacles, and then figure out a way to escape."

Ron thought for a moment and then said.

"This method is indeed good, but how exactly should we do it?"

Taiichiro said, "Maybe we should use me as bait and throw me up there."

Ron's expression changed slightly, and he said loudly.

"That won't do. How could you do such a thing?"

Taiichiro said, "Perhaps this is my only chance."

They're just using me as bait; they won't harm my life.

And I know how to defend myself.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ron, his eyes revealing a determined look.

"This is our only chance, our only chance to defeat him."

We can't just give up like this.

Ron looked at Taiichiro with those eyes.

He could tell that Taiichiro had indeed made up his mind.

He said.

"But doing so will put you in endless danger."

If I lose control even slightly, you will be attacked by these tentacles.

As you just saw, the attacks from these tentacles were quite ferocious.

We simply have no way to resist.

Taiichiro said, "Of course I know that. I was attacked by them before."

So don't worry, I know what I need to do.

Ron thought for a moment and finally nodded.

"Then that's the only way."

After saying that, he grabbed Taiichiro and threw him upwards with all his might.
