Before this, Soulsqn was a creepy, threatening, and dangerous creature. However, in the next minute, her impression of Soulsqn had completely changed. She had turned into a dog.
When Maxin heard footsteps coming from the fog, he immediately looked around. However, the fog obscured the source of the footsteps, and he could not tell which direction the footsteps were coming from. He lowered his head and saw that Soulsqn had taken off her human form. She was curled up on the rock with her worm-like body. Like him, she was looking around anxiously like a cobra that had been startled by an Indian flute player. When he raised his head again, he saw that there were two rows of holes on the rock wall above him. Obviously, Hegel had made them. Before the intruder could show himself, Maxin quickly climbed up to the top of the hole. Hegel was sitting there, staring blankly at the sea.
"Someone is coming," Maxin said in a conciliatory tone, trying to form an alliance with Hegel. "He might be from the white camp." However, Hegel merely glanced at him and lowered his head, as if he did not hear what Maxin said.
Maxin cautiously distanced himself from Hegel and glanced at the sea as well.
That one glance caused him to freeze.
Zeus's face was floating under the sea, peering at him through the water. Zeus's cheeks were arched by his huge smile. In the deeper darkness, Zeus's body was shrouded in yellow shadows. He looked like a silkworm that had just broken out of its cocoon and was about to emerge from the water.
The creaking of the leather suddenly stopped.
Maxin was startled. He looked up and saw that he was still surrounded by fog. Then, a deep and feminine male voice rang out softly beside his ear. "Looks like I'm not too late."
As soon as the voice finished speaking, Soulsqn became excited.
"My lord! My lord! My lord! " Soulsqn's crimson flesh wriggled uncontrollably. "My lord, it's me! I'm here!" she said in a trembling voice.
After a moment of silence, the newcomer said coldly, "I see you."
Soulsqn did not seem to mind. In fact, if she had a tail, Maxin suspected that she would have wagged it. "My lord, you're here too? We've been looking for you for so long! Lin Sanjiu is useless. Not only did she not find you, she almost killed herself! "
Did Lin Sanjiu mention to Ji Shanqing that they were looking for someone? Maxin was a little confused.
But no matter what, he was now relieved. Since Soulsqn was so happy, this person must be a friend and not an enemy.
Soulsqn did not respond to him. He waited for a few seconds until he heard the soft sound of water splashing. It was then that he realized the man had jumped into the water. The flesh worm also quieted down, as if it was holding its breath in anticipation. All the noises between the sky and the water were silenced by the white fog. Only the sound of the man stepping on the waves could be heard, gradually approaching the reef.
With just a glance, it was hard to forget the appearance of the person who had arrived.
The man's entire body was wrapped tightly in black leather, making his figure appear even thinner and scarier. It was as if even his waist could be broken by the leather. The bright red feather poked out from his shoulder and trembled with every step he took, swaying along with the tassels made of broken skin. Under the black hair that seemed to devour the light was a face that was as pale as a sheet of paper. There was not a single trace of blood on his face, but his eyes were so red that it gave the illusion that his face was injured. Maxin froze for a few seconds before he realized that it was just glitter.
A carpet followed his footsteps, spreading out bit by bit on the surface of the sea, steadily supporting the man.
Soulsqn shrieked and pounced toward the carpet as if she had seen her savior.
However, before the flesh worm could land on the ground, the man grabbed her by the neck and tossed her back. His movement was smooth and effortless, as if he was tossing a pebble.
"Don't bother me," he said in a low voice, not even sparing her a glance. "I'll talk to you after I'm done with my business."
Soulsqn hit the reef beside Maxin with a loud thud. She sounded like a live fish on a chopping board. The sound was so loud that Maxin felt a pang of pain for her. However, as if nothing had happened, Soulsqn stood up and asked, "What's the matter? I can do it — "
Before she could finish her sentence, the sea beneath her feet rippled, and the waves parted. Then, Zeus, who had transformed into a human, climbed out of the water.
He looked exactly the same as the previous Zeus. If Maxin did not know the truth, he would have thought that the previous Zeus had returned. Only the tattered robe on his body showed that he was still the same Zeus just a few minutes ago.
Zeus's large eyes rolled around and landed on the man that Maxin addressed as "Lord".
"Is this … Zeus?" The man finally frowned.
"Do you know him?" Maxin was stunned.
The man did not even look at Maxin. Instead, he stared at Zeus, who had just straightened up his body. A sinister smile appeared on one side of his face as he said softly, "How could I not know him? This is the man I sent. "
"Are you from the white camp?" Maxin propped himself up from the ground. "How come there are more than four people in the white camp?"
Before Maxin could get an answer from the man in leather, Zeus suddenly spoke in a sweet voice that attracted everyone's attention. "Well, if it isn't Puppeteer!" Zeus grinned, revealing two rows of toothy teeth in his pitch-black mouth. "What a coincidence. I happen to know about your impious thoughts, and I don't approve of it."
Puppeteer heaved a sigh of relief. He raised his hand to examine his fingernails and said slowly, "I don't think you will approve of it either. After all, no one likes puppets. Gods are no exception. "
'What puppets? ' Maxin looked at Puppeteer and then at Zeus.
"Then, what are you going to do, Shishi?" Using a finger to support his cheek, Zeus tilted his head and smiled. "If these three people fell into the water, they wouldn't have known that you would come to catch the puppets. Maybe they would have been caught off guard by you. But I already knew what you were going to do, and your plan failed! "
Now, even Maxin, who knew nothing about Puppeteer, knew what he was going to do. He stared at Zeus, suspecting that he was looking at a lunatic.
Now, he finally understood the mission of Ji Ye and Ah Man. They were ordered by Puppeteer to enter the Black Camp and beat the members of the Black Camp into the water because Puppeteer wanted to capture Zeus and turn him into a puppet!
"You're wrong," Puppeteer said quietly, folding his hands in his sleeves. He folded his hands in his sleeves and looked like a teenager. "My plan will only fail if you die or escape."
Zeus chuckled. His large eyes rolled again, but he did not move. For some reason, he seemed a little uneasy compared to Lin Sanjiu.
"Alright, you can give it a try. But I have some new rules to introduce …"
Puppeteer suddenly turned around and whispered to the two humans and the insect on the reef, as if Zeus' voice was just a meaningless noise to him.
