Chapter 34: Aquarium Prison (7)

“Oh, so it’s a Mosasaurus?” 

Although Su Luo hadn’t studied Mosasaurs in detail, she knew that this ancient sea overlord was once dominant long ago.

She just hadn’t paid much attention to its image.

With so many things happening recently, she hadn’t recognized it immediately. 

The Mosasaurus’ eyesight was somewhat weak, but its hearing and sense of smell were highly developed.

Back in its active era, it drove many animals to extinction. 

Moreover, the Mosasaurus, often appearing as a character in various large-scale online games, was definitely worthy of Yun Feibai’s leading man role. 

Everyone’s gazes instantly ignited with passion, and those with some cunning started turning their minds furiously. 

Although no one knew exactly how to escape this cursed place, if they could ally with such a powerhouse, clearing the game would surely be within reach! 

Even if they didn’t clear it, life on the path ahead would be much easier.

Girls with some charm had already begun coquettishly preening themselves, hoping to earn some favor. 

Su Luo was actually a bit surprised herself.

She knew her companion was powerful, but she hadn’t expected him to be this strong.

This awakened pet was utterly majestic and domineering — it wiped the floor with everyone! 

In fact, Su Luo was being too modest.

The Box Jellyfish was also formidable, but the two just specialized in different areas. 

The Mosasaurus focused on biting force and direct confrontation, while the Box Jellyfish specialized in venom.

Once poisoned, without an antidote within two minutes, death was certain. 

The Box Jellyfish was more niche and had an appearance that gave off a mere decorative vibe, so it was often overlooked.

Besides, Su Luo’s research on the Box Jellyfish had mostly been online; although she knew it was powerful, she had no precise understanding, so she had forgotten how strong it really was. 

Meanwhile, the Testing Officer who had just tested Yun Feibai looked at this handsome yet overwhelmingly powerful man before her and felt a surge of attraction. 

If she could get on this strong man’s good side, maybe she could finally leave this hellhole! 

She flirted with a toss of her hair and shyly tried to strike up a conversation, but Yun Feibai didn’t even glance at her.

Instead, he strode directly over to Su Luo and said, “Shall we go?” 

Su Luo nodded, carrying the mixture of shock and confusion from everyone’s eyes as she left with Yun Feibai. 

As soon as Su Luo and Yun Feibai left, the crowd exploded. 

“One minute! I want all the info on that guy!” 

“Thirty seconds! Don’t stop me!” 

“He’s handsome and powerful. What’s going on with the guys these days? He hits all my buttons!” These were the fangirls. 

“Does he already have a girlfriend?” 

“Don’t say that, maybe it’s just a sister.” 

“Heh, no way they look alike.” 

“I’m way better than that woman. Did he go blind to choose her?” 

“Maybe he just hasn’t switched yet. Now’s my chance to rise.” 

“A Mosasaurus! That man has to be mine!” These were the schemers. 

“It’s just… he’s stronger, that’s all. Look at these shallow women.” 

“So arrogant. What’s so great about a Mosasaurus anyway?” 

“Maybe he’s trash underneath. Watch me take him down when he least expects it!” 

“Maybe I can awaken something stronger!” These were the envious ones. 

While everyone was scrambling for information about that man, a tourist they had questioned earlier proudly stepped forward and said, “Exclusive scoop about the man who just summoned the Mosasaurus! If you want the info, pay up!” 

The crowd immediately swarmed around.

“I’ve got money!”

“How much? Hurry up!” The tourist collected a large sum and began his vivid narration… 

Su Luo wasn’t particularly interested in the crowd.

After walking to a corner with Yun Feibai, she explained a little about her jellyfish, which led to a baffling conclusion.

“I think you’re more like an Assassin than I am.” — Yun Feibai. 

Su Luo thought it over carefully.

It actually made sense!

The Box Jellyfish was quite transparent; after poisoning someone, they didn’t feel much pain.

During a fight, it would sneakily strike from behind, and the victim would quietly die without a sound. 

‘Well… okay, I am an assassin.’ Su Luo gave herself a label. 

Yun Feibai’s Mosasaurus was perched on his shoulder, eyelids drooping as if just rudely woken from sleep — oddly adorable!

There was no trace of the majestic dominance it had displayed when first summoned. 

Su Luo seriously suspected that this form was not just a size reduction but an age reduction as well. 

Following the Testing Officer’s previous instructions, the two recalled their pets and moved forward.

Soon they came upon a somewhat antiquated gate, on which two large regular script characters read — “Sea City.” 

They exchanged a glance and stepped beneath the gate.

The next moment, the gate seemed alive, opening on its own. 

No sooner had Su Luo and Yun Feibai taken a step inside than countless underwater creatures swarmed up like a dense, sky-blocking wave, as if wanting to tear them limb from limb. 

In the next instant, a massive Mosasaurus appeared, cutting through the swarm with a single bite, devouring them entirely.

It then fixed its cold eyes on the tiny, fragile humans below. 

Silence fell.

Two people strolled leisurely through the gate — Su Luo and Yun Feibai.

Yun Feibai paused briefly, then resumed casually observing the surroundings. 

Su Luo looked at the empty street and felt some emotion.

Humans couldn’t directly attack summoned creatures, but summoned creatures could attack humans.

Only summoned creatures could attack one another. 

The overwhelming horde of summoned creatures just now must have been man-made.

In other words, near this city gate, countless people had tried to kill them. 

Fortunately, Yun Feibai’s pet was strong enough.

If it had just been her alone, who knew how much trouble it would have taken to enter the city! 

But don’t think Su Luo couldn’t get into the city without Yun Feibai.

Due to the restriction that city residents cannot leave, Su Luo could easily sneak her jellyfish in to quietly poison those ambushers.

For a Box Jellyfish, this was a simple task. 

It seemed those people had already been killed by others here.

Su Luo wondered why the city’s inhabitants were so determined to keep outsiders out. 

She soon formed a guess: it was probably because competition within the city was already fierce, so they didn’t want more rivals.

Su Luo also harbored a vague suspicion but instinctively avoided thinking about it. 

As everyone knows, restaurants are the easiest place to gather information.

So although Su Luo and Yun Feibai didn’t need to eat, they still went to a restaurant. 

There were only a few people inside, all looking pale and haggard.

A man handed a black bag—contents unknown—to the waiter.

Without a word, the waiter took the bag. 

‘Something was off’.

Su Luo and Yun Feibai exchanged wary glances, both sensing caution in the other’s eyes.

They approached the counter.

Su Luo asked, “Do you have a menu here?” 

The waiter chuckled oddly, his face peculiar as he looked at them.

“New here? It’s not easy to get in.” 

The other patrons realized they were newcomers, their eyes filled with hostility.

Suddenly, some of them looked amused, as if watching a show unfold. 

Su Luo felt on edge, uncertain what scheme awaited.

But soon she got her answer. 

The waiter smiled and asked, “Have you prepared your human meat yet?” 

Su Luo’s first reaction was to doubt her ears. 

“What? Human meat?”

The waitress feigned surprise.

“Oh, you don’t know? We don’t have food here. If you want to eat, you either cut flesh from yourself or take it from others.” 

In that moment, Su Luo understood a lot.

She finally realized why city residents weren’t allowed out — if outsiders knew this, they wouldn’t come in. 

Why were they attacked by countless people immediately upon entering the gate?

Besides fear of competition, it was to seize a piece of flesh from them. 

Why had that man brought his own meat to the restaurant?

Because the place provided no food, only cooking. 

Though her face paled slightly, Su Luo had long expected this.

When she learned this was a prison, she had already guessed the city’s true nature — a meat grinder. 

So no matter how cruel the rules inside, she wouldn’t be too surprised. 

Yun Feibai was equally unfazed, not even changing expression.

For him, eating human flesh was not unfamiliar. 

During his hardest years, he had been fed human flesh and had fed others human flesh.

So this was no great shock to him. 

The two accepted this calmly, much to the displeasure of the onlookers.

When those people first heard about this, they nearly vomited from disgust.

Why were these two so indifferent? 

If possible, they even wanted to pick a fight, just to prove they weren’t inferior to these two. 

But no fool survived long in this city.

These two had entered Sea City unscathed despite being besieged by so many — they were clearly not people to be trifled with. 

If they had been embarrassed by Sea City’s rules, that might have been entertaining.

But if they started making trouble themselves, everyone else feared becoming the joke. 

Sea City revered the strong.

The fact these two could enter already spoke volumes. 

Moreover, their attitudes clearly suited Sea City’s nature.

The waiter’s initial amused attitude turned respectful.
