Thanks to the leader of the Best Pumpkin Porridge.
Depth 14, Illusory Quagmire
Fifteen minutes to the explosion of the White Thunder Plains, and half an hour to the arrival of the Deep Storm.
Amidst the rancid smell, the endless swamp stretched as far as the eye could see. Everything was shrouded in a white mist. In the deepest part of the mist, it was dark. From time to time, one could see a huge shadow slowly walking past.
But no sound could be heard.
The only sound that could be heard was the sticky sound of the mud beneath the platform moving about.
Just above the bottomless quagmire, a dozen pieces of wood were casually pieced together to form a crude platform. Like a sampan, it slowly floated in the quagmire.
No one knew where it went.
Next to the gray tent, a bonfire was burning in an iron bucket, roasting pieces of colorful mushrooms. As the oil seeped out, the mushrooms opened their small mouths and made a sharp sound on the iron net.
The man with the horse mask grabbed a handful of pepper and sprinkled it, then smeared the sauce on the mushrooms until the cursed mushrooms stopped wailing and emitted a tempting fragrance.
"To be honest, although Huai Shi is wicked, this recipe is pretty good." Tony grabbed a skewer, took two bites, and sighed. "Finally, I don't have to eat compressed dry food."
His companion sighed and also grabbed a bunch of mushrooms. "Although that's true, your recipe is completely wrong. More than half of the mushrooms you grow are poisonous."
"Lucian, you don't understand. Isn't this just adding a little hellish flavor? It's more exciting when it's poisonous. "Tony's mouth was full of oil as he looked at his last companion in the tent.
"Do you want some?"
"Your cooking? Forget it. "
The shackled 'companion' sneered and did not bother to pay attention to him.
Tony shrugged and didn't care. Instead, he tilted his head and looked at the mist in the distance. In the thin mist, countless strange illusions kept appearing, luring the explorers to go deeper.
Until they couldn't extricate themselves and turned into bones in the mud, accompanied by countless corpses.
"Wonderful, really wonderful."
Tony exclaimed in surprise. "This is much more wonderful than the TV series. This twist is really amazing."
Lucian shook his head helplessly.
Encountering a fellow who used poisonous mushrooms to add flavor and watched cursed illusions as if they were a soap opera was a huge blow to a proper Hell Blazer.
After finishing the poisonous mushrooms, Tony lifted his sleeve and wiped the oil on the horse's face. He turned around and asked, "What time is it?"
Lucian looked at his watch. "It's 3: 15 in the morning."
"You've been waiting for two days, right? Why aren't you coming? " Tony scratched his head. "Could it be that the guy was unlucky and fell into the ruler's home?"
Lucian wanted to ask what the f * ck were you talking about, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit, "Yes, with Huai Shi's luck, it's possible …"
As the 'guides' arranged by the Astronomical Society in hell, they had been waiting here for three days.
According to the established route, Huai Shi was supposed to meet up with them a day ago. Then, they would work together until they reached the lowest level of the Deep Zone, which was about 40 meters deep. Then, they would part ways.
But now, it seemed that the plan had gone wrong from the very beginning.
Huai Shi's team was late by a day.
Anything could happen in hell. They might have taken the wrong path or gotten into an accident. But it was also possible that … they were already dead.
"Are we still waiting?" Tony asked.
"Let's wait for another day," Lucian said.
"We have our own mission. If he's not here by then, we'll have to set off."
"Then let's wait for another day." Tony turned around and looked at the tent. "What do you think, General?"
"Ha, is there a need to care about the opinion of a prisoner?" In the shackles, the general glanced at him indifferently. "Even if you don't agree, isn't it just adding to the humiliation?"
"To be honest, you've become much easier to talk to after putting on the cuffs. I really don't want to take this thing." Tony sighed.
"You'd better not."
The general's lips curled up slightly. "I can't guarantee what I'll do."
"Don't worry, I'm fast."
Tony opened his pocket and continued to place fresh mushrooms on it. He began to roast them. But before the second time, the fingers of Lucian, who was resting with his eyes lowered, suddenly trembled slightly.
On his wrist, among the string of beads of various colors, a haze suddenly appeared.
He was silent for a moment and suddenly said,
"We should go."
"We're not waiting?"
"We're not waiting." Lucian got up and began to pack his things. "We're going to set off. Hurry up. Otherwise, there might be an accident."
Tony did not insist on asking the reason for Lucian's judgment. On the contrary, in hell exploration, the last thing they needed was a reason. What they needed the most was trust.
Trust in someone who could bear the trust.
In terms of hell exploration, Tony knew that ten thousand of him could not compare to Lucian's casual glance. Then, there was nothing to say. If he said to go, then go.
"What if Huai Shi comes later?"
"If they can't see us, they'll know that we've set off." Lucian's movements did not stop. "He's not someone who will stay in the same place and wait. Besides, he has his own mission."
"Should we find a confidential box and leave the route map behind?"
"No matter how confidential the box is, there's still the possibility of others opening it. Leaving it behind is leaving them with hidden dangers. I've already sent them the document before the mission began."
Lucian carried his backpack. "We have to ensure the safety of both parties. Most importantly, we have to prioritize the completion of both parties' missions. Other than that, nothing else is important. "
"Then let's go."
Tony whistled.
Thus, the mud surged, and the behemoth sleeping under the mud slowly rose. The giant snake opened its mouth and swallowed the three of them into its stomach. Soon, it passed through a rainbow door and disappeared.
What was left in place was only the sizzling mushroom slices.
Three minutes later, a huge shadow passed through this eternal swamp. Wherever it passed, everything turned to dust in the invisible fire.
Four minutes later, the Thunder White Plains exploded.
Nine minutes later, a deep storm struck.
Twelve minutes later, the Sun Ship officially crashed and fell into the abyss.
Twenty-five minutes later, Depth 37, Rusty Pagoda Forest.
Under the eternal haze of the sky, countless abandoned and broken towers stretched out like fingers towards the sky where there was no light.
Countless hellish creatures were scattered under those towers, digging up the relics of the past and selling them in all directions.
And in the solemn hall of a huge settlement, under the witness of dozens of elders, a shocked voice rang out.
"Divorce?"
The rickety rat-man standing below with his head held high questioned in a trembling voice, "Chief, what do you mean?"
"That's right!"
On the throne, the huge rat-man chief glanced at him. "Give up, baldy. You're a piece of trash. After so many years, you're still a Level 3 Anointed One. How can you be worthy of my daughter!
I advise you to recognize reality as soon as possible! "
"Preposterous!"
The rickety rat-man baldy's eyes were burning red. "Thirty years in the west, thirty years in the east.
Chief Big Tooth, don't bully the young! "
Big Tooth heard this and immediately looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Ha, a piece of trash actually dares to spout such nonsense." He waved his hand. "Men, take him down and slap him!"
In an instant, two burly rat-men came out of the crowd and pressed baldy to the ground to slap him. Big Teeth was admiring its sorry state from above. He looked up to the sky and laughed, "How can a piece of trash like you be worthy of my daughter? She's already with the young master of the Dragon Scale Settlement next door. She even has a litter of cubs!
I advise you to be sensible and hand over your father's relics. I can still let you eat in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for being heartless! "
Under the suppression, baldy roared in grief and anger.
Especially when he heard that his beloved rat-man had hooked up with the kobold next door and even had cubs, his eyes instantly turned red. With a roar, he actually stood up under the suppression of the two burly men.
"Okay, okay, okay. Since you're already heartless, don't blame me for being heartless."
With a wave of his hand, baldy brazenly crushed the two burly rat-men to death and threw them at Big Tooth's feet. He raised his head and said, "I don't want to stay in this Big Tooth Settlement!"
"You're rebelling!"
Big Tooth yelled angrily and crushed the armrest. "If you leave Big Tooth Settlement, there will be no place for you in the Rusty Pagoda Forest! Men, take him down! Take him down! "
In an instant, a number of elders behind Big Tooth made their moves. However, even the rarely-seen wearers couldn't take down a mere baldy.
In a few short exchanges, they were all killed.
Big Tooth's dark green eyes suddenly shot out a ray of light. However, his trump card was completely ineffective. Instead, it was bounced off by the simple necklace on baldy's neck.
"Leader Big Tooth, you have eyes but can't see. Today, I'll show you my true strength!"
Baldy leapt into the air. Dark Origin Substance fluctuations tore through the ceiling. His voice echoed throughout the settlement.
"I've swallowed a poisonous stone. My life is in my hands, not the heavens!"
Baldy raised his hands high. A fierce light burst forth from his palms like a small sun, illuminating Big Tooth's shocked face.
Seeing those fellows who used to ride roughshod over him in the past turn pale with fright now made him feel even more comfortable.
"Old Poison, help me!"
Following his call, the necklace in front of his chest lit up with a strange light, causing the blazing mass in his hand to expand.
All of a sudden, there was a sudden explosion.
A strong wind pressure descended from the sky. The unbelievable power caused Big Tooth's knees to tremble. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed frantically, begging for mercy.
"Ha, now you're scared?"
Baldy laughed. "You're not the only one who's scared. When I get serious, even I'm scared!"
Thinking back to the countless secret exercises in the past, he had never felt such power and strength. Could it be that after breaking the shackles and clearing his mind, his strength had increased greatly?
Instantly, he became even more delighted.
At that moment, he felt that his power was surging endlessly. The terrifying light and momentum had already enveloped the entire Great Tooth Settlement.
In fact, even the sky was shattered by it!
"Old Poison, you were right. I really am a genius that only appears once every ten thousand years!"
However, this time, the pendant in front of his chest only trembled and did not make a sound. This made him puzzled. "Old Poison, why aren't you saying anything?
Are you also shocked by my talent? "
"I'm shocked your ass!"
In the pendant, the evil creature that was sealed let out a terrified scream. It was almost crying. "Something is falling. Run!!!"
At that moment, the dim light in Baldy's hand disappeared without a trace like a bubble. However, the light in the sky became more and more intense and was getting closer and closer.
Thunder rumbled.
The light of the scorching sun burst forth.
After crashing through the crack in the sky, it whistled toward the ground!
Wherever it passed, layers of air waves swept out, constantly setting off thunderous sounds.
When Baldy turned around in shock, he saw the ferocious outline of the dazzling sun.
It rushed toward him!
He fell into a daze. "What's this …"
Boom!
The light exploded.
Baldy, Big Tooth, dozens of elders, the ratmen, and the litter of cubs that Big Tooth's daughter had just given birth to, as well as the entire Big Tooth Settlement.
At this moment, they welcomed the same destruction.
The ground wailed, and terrifying air waves spread out. In the continuous tremors, dozens of broken towers were razed to the ground and completely disappeared without a trace.
Countless huts were ravaged by the air waves. Inch by inch, they shattered and flew in all directions.
It was not until a long time later that the terrifying aftershocks slowly stopped.
On the ground, there was no longer any Big Tooth Settlement. Only the huge ship that fell from the sky was half buried in the ruins, shining brightly.
