"Gurgle... rumble..."
His cochleae were also filled with seawater. The water kept rubbing against his eardrums, carrying strange bubbling sounds into his ears.
His body felt a little itchy, and he could not help struggling again. This time, however, he actually felt something loosen-he had broken free of the Jellyfish-Shaped Night-Walking Species entangling him!
"Splash-"
The Jellyfish-Shaped Night-Walking Species fell apart along with some shattered material. Lin Yi hurriedly paddled his hands, trying to return to the surface.
But as he paddled, the seawater felt extremely strange against his limbs, like sandpaper scraping his skin.
He froze for a moment, then suddenly discovered that the Jellyfish-Shaped Night-Walking Species had torn off all his flesh. All that remained of him now was a skeleton.
He had no muscles, blood vessels, or skin. His hands had only bones and no palms, so he could not paddle through the water at all.
He paddled a few times, but his body continued sinking.
The light around him grew dimmer and dimmer. Was even the spotlight-like radiance spilling down from the surface so limited in its ability to penetrate?
Soon, all he could hear was the dull gurgling of water. His surroundings were pitch-black, and he could not see anything.
He tried extending his Perception Tentacles, only to discover emptiness all around him. All that remained were those Jellyfish-Shaped Night-Walking Species...
They really did circle him like schools of fish in the sea, their snakehead-like mouthparts still holding the flesh they had torn from his body.
His flesh was a treasure. It was flesh fused with ashes, not ordinary food.
In a fantasy novel, it would at least qualify as precious blood and medicinal material that could be used to refine pills.
At that thought, he suddenly felt it was a bit of a waste.
