Even though Maxin had calculated the direction and distance of the sound, he had no idea what went wrong with his jump. The white fog not only obscured his vision but also his other senses. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but fear gripped his body tightly. He could only fall stiffly into the turbulent sea.
He did not have the ability to create a platform on the surface of the sea, nor could he change the direction of his body at will. No matter how he thought about it, he knew he was doomed.
Death was not the scariest thing. Right now, Maxin was not thinking about death. He was thinking about the grin on Zeus' face when he broke through the surface of the sea. That face belonged to Lin Sanjiu just a moment ago.
Soon, his face would turn into Zeus'.
Just as Maxin was about to hit the surface of the sea, a senseless and terrified scream escaped from his throat. Then, a sharp voice rang out from somewhere very close to him, "Is that the swimming one?"
Before he knew who the voice belonged to, a rush of blood rushed to his brain. Then, he felt his waist tighten, as if something was entangling him. His ears were filled with the thundering of his heartbeat. He finally realized that he had stopped falling. His limbs were limp, and he was hanging in the air.
His feet were less than three centimeters from the surface of the sea.
The yellow figure swam around the bottom of the sea in disappointment and anger as if it was waiting for its next opportunity. Maxin lowered his head and saw a crimson strip of flesh wrapped around his waist. It looked like the claw of a giant octopus.
The crimson strip of flesh slowly retracted itself from the surface of the sea and brought Maxin out of the fog, revealing a reef in front of him and the head of a flesh worm that he had never thought looked so cute before.
"What happened?" the crimson worm hissed, "Do you want to die?"
Maxin's heart was beating so fast that he could not speak. His face was pale as he listened to the flesh worm, "Thank goodness you met me. Look at how fast I am! Even when you let out that half-human scream, I knew it was you. "
Soulsqn's reaction was as fast as lightning. Before Soulsqn could finish her sentence, she had already realized what she was going to do. Without waiting for Soulsqn to finish her sentence, she shot out a fleshy arm and held Maxin firmly above the water.
"Why, why are you here …?" He fell on the reef and felt his chest burning from his breathing. "Luckily you came, or I would have died."
He remembered that Soulsqn was maintaining the boulder behind him. There was still quite a distance between them.
"What are you talking about?" Soulsqn retracted her fleshy limbs and covered the white veins under her skin. Then, she wriggled and transformed into a giant worm. "You came to me."
Maxin looked at it blankly.
"Why are you looking at me? Aren't you the ones who want me to jump over rocks? " If Soulsqn had shoulders, she would have shrugged and said, "The fog is so thick. How am I supposed to jump? I have already rested for half a day."
Did he jump in the wrong direction? But he was heading toward Ji Shanqing's voice, and Soulsqn was a few reefs away from him. Something clicked in Maxin's mind. Since the distance between him and Soulsqn was more than 100 meters, he almost fell into the sea after jumping with all his might.
"It seems like the fog can confuse the direction of sound and prevent the enemy from cooperating with them." Maxin rubbed his face dejectedly. "I heard Ji Shanqing calling her sister."
"Lin Sanjiu is still alive?"
"I don't think so. I think she might be in trouble. "
The flesh worm lowered her body and did not say anything.
Maxin sighed and stood up. "I have to go find Ji Shanqing. She is not an ordinary girl, but I can't leave her alone."
Soulsqn tilted her head slowly. She tilted her head so hard that half of her body was twisted around. She stared at Maxin as if a sea anemone had just bloomed on his face. "What did you say?"
"I said I want to help her. Since you can't maintain the number of rocks anymore, why don't you come with me? "
Soulsqn straightened her body. She did not have a traditional 'face', but Maxin suspected that he could see a faint smile on her face. The color of her skin varied in shades of red. Of course, it could also be because of the fog. "Ah, right. Let's go together. She is a girl. She might need help. "
Maxin blinked at her and decided not to probe further. The human and the worm looked at each other for a while. Finally, the flesh worm asked, "Is there a girl in the enemy camp?"
"Yes," Maxin replied. Then, he realized what Soulsqn meant. "She has gathered the people in the fog. You want to wear her? "
"Of course. Is her hair long? "
"I don't know. She is wearing a hat."
Soulsqn smacked her lips. "I don't have any other choice. I'll take her."
Maxin was wise enough not to say anything.
The fog was too thick. Hegel might not be able to jump anymore. Maxin had no idea how much time they had before the next rock disappeared. He stood up and looked around. The fog seemed to have a life of its own. Sometimes it was thick, sometimes it was thin, sometimes it was thick, and sometimes it was thin. In the blink of an eye, he could no longer recognize the direction he was looking at.
'Where should I go? '
When traveling in an apocalyptic world, non-consular officers often fell into a paradoxical situation. If they wanted to go to an easier world, they had to go to a more difficult one. Low-level apocalyptic worlds and new apocalyptic worlds were relatively easy. That was why they had the most posthumans and the most expensive visas. However, it was also because they were full of posthumans from all over the world. Everyone was like a swarm of locusts, searching for resources. Theoretically, other than consular officers, no one could survive in an apocalyptic world forever. That was because one day, they would run out of resources to exchange for a visa to a D-level world.
Unfortunately, Maxin was currently at the stage where he didn't have enough resources.
Since Soulsqn's body was flexible, the two of them quickly came up with a plan. Maxin would tie a string to her tail. He would grab the string with one hand and hold onto the tail with the other. Soulsqn would then extend her body and search for the next rock in front of them. Once she had a firm grip on the new rock, the flesh worm would be able to shrink her body into the rock like before. Next, Maxin just had to jump 100 meters in the direction of the string.
Needless to say, this method was slow and dangerous.
He and Soulsqn moved forward blindly, trying to locate the next rock in the white fog. However, neither of them knew which direction they were heading to. In his anxiety, Maxin recalled a lot of things that he could use at the moment but had already been exchanged for visas and other supplies. There was a thermal detector, a pair of nose glasses that could detect biological pheromones, and a few paper cranes that were very useful for communication.
Soulsqn disappeared into the fog in front of them. The string that connected the two of them swayed slightly.
Maxin massaged his thighs, determined the direction of the string, and leaped forward again. The milky white fog washed over his face and parted before his eyes. Finally, he landed on the rock again.
This reef could be said to be overcrowded.
"It wasn't me," Soulsqn said. She looked like a piece of dried meat. She obediently let go of the man in the robe without any resistance. "The one who swayed the string was her …"
She seemed to have fallen into a state of deep fear.
Maxin had never seen this flesh worm in real fear before.
"Two," said the man in the robe, his voice still indecipherable, deep and hoarse. The man raised his hand and took off the hood on his head, revealing the face underneath. "Very good. One more, and we will win this game."
While Maxin was rooted to the ground, as if he had been struck by lightning, Soulsqn trembled violently as if she had lost control of herself. "Lady … Lady Nuwa … I … I … Please … Lin Sanjiu said …"
"Nuwa?"
Maxin had never heard of this name before, but he knew her face.
As soon as the robe fell off her body, her soft, short, blonde hair fell from her ears, forming a beautiful curve around her bright red lips. It was as if the sea was reflected in her eyes, reflecting the deep blue of the sea.
Even the marks of age could not obscure her radiance. She was like a glass of aged red wine.
Maxin would never forget her face, even though he had only seen her once.
The memory of that day flooded him like a tidal wave, choking him to the point that he could not breathe. He wanted to turn around and run for his life, but as soon as he took a step back, he forced himself to stop.
He did not realize that he was gasping for air. Every muscle in his body was quivering. "What … What are you talking about? Her name is Nuwa? "
The woman loosened her grip, and the large flesh worm fell to the ground with a thud. She could no longer hold it.
"Isn't her name Magus?"
The flesh worm was startled. She raised her head, but when she saw the woman, her eyes widened again.
"She is Lady Nuwa …"
The corner of the woman's lips curled into a smile. She did not move, but Maxin had a feeling that she was ready to kill. At the same time, he realized that he could not put up any effective resistance.
There were always people in this world who knew that there was no hope for them even if they did not waste their energy to struggle.
The despair was like a bottomless abyss, sucking up all of Maxin's will to live like a sponge.
Just like him, the flesh worm was slumped on the rock, unable to muster up the will to fight back. Maxin felt as if his body was filled with lead. He did not expect that his life would only be extended by a few minutes. When the woman walked over to him, he thought of Ji Shanqing with a bitter taste in his mouth. He did not expect that they would die together in this place. But it might be better for them to die together. He had long since grown tired of this endless apocalyptic world …
The flesh worm called her Nuwa, but he thought she was Magus. Ji Shanqing called her — wait a minute.
Ji Shanqing?
Just as the woman's shadow loomed over him, Maxin understood everything. He flicked the thread in his hand, and just as the thread was about to hit the woman, he leaped to his feet and lunged at her.
"Get up! This man is nobody! This is his ability! "
Soulsqn raised her head, which was covered in tears and snot, and stared blankly at the two figures who were fighting in front of her.
"He has the ability to become the person that you fear the most!" Maxin shouted again, panting heavily.
