"I'm not here!"
Huai Shi answered without hesitation. "I went out today!"
For a moment, dead silence descended on the entire bridge. Even the Red Dragon's alarm stopped abruptly.
Everyone widened their eyes in shock. Forster's shotgun was already loaded in an instant.
Two Prayer Deer Hunting Bullets were ready to go.
They just had to wait for the enemy to report their names!
"Haha, people in this realm are still so interesting."
That calm voice reverberated through the bridge, no, to be precise, it reverberated through the entire interior of Sun Ship. "Please do not make a big fuss over me. Right now, I am right in front of you, please stop your ship in time, or else..."
He paused meaningfully. Just as their hearts were beating wildly, he suddenly said,
"Or else, you'll run over me …"
？？？
For a moment, countless question marks appeared on everyone's heads.
Why would someone say such a cowardly thing in such an arrogant tone!
Is this a joke?
"I'm not joking. Please hurry up. It's not easy for me to find you," the helpless voice said. "Really, I'm about to run over you. Please stop quickly."
"…"
In the silence, Raymond looked at Huai Shi.
Huai Shi reached out and gestured for him to stop.
The premonition of death did not appear.
In other words … either the other party was not hostile, or they really could not do anything to Huai Shi.
Or a combination of both?
The Sun Spaceship stopped abruptly.
The heavy chassis created sparks on the sharp stone ridges. Soon, the sparks disappeared in the dark storm.
"Now, can I trouble Mr. Huai Shi to come out and meet me?"
The voice said, "I know this request is unreasonable, but my legs are inconvenient. I really can't pay you a visit."
"Sure, sure."
Huai Shi smiled kindly. His hands did not stop moving as he loaded the cursed bullets into Beelzebub's magazine one by one.
He sat in place without moving.
However, an afterimage rose from his shadow, forming the appearance of Huai Shi. Stepping on the iron ladder, he walked into the dark storm.
Countless sharp pieces of stone and sand flew towards them. In the hurricane, under the terrifying pressure that was enough to suffocate them, the outline of a barren world was faintly discernible.
However, there was nothing in front of him.
"I'm out."
Huai Shi asked, "Where are you?"
"I …"
The voice said awkwardly, "I'm at your feet …"
"…"
Huai Shi was silent for a long time. He bent down and lifted his feet, but he saw nothing.
"Well, you can see me if you pry open that crack." That voice said, "Please, there was a rock that fell down just now. I can't take it anymore."
"…"
Huai Shi's face twitched.
To be on the safe side, he took out an iron shovel and dug down. With a sharp sound of friction, the person buried under the rubble was finally revealed.
That was a …
Huai Shi narrowed his eyes, leaned closer, and looked carefully. A snail?
It was indeed a snail.
What's more, it was a rather common rust snail. It was mainly active in deep water and could be seen almost anywhere with water. It fed on moss and had amazing endurance. More than ten years of drought could only make it dehydrated and hibernate. But after two drops of water, it could jump up and down again.
And, more importantly, it could be eaten.
As long as it was dried, the toxicity and precipitates would be discharged along with the body fluids.
The meat was quite chewy!
It was ranked fourth in the Hell Recipes launched by Huai Shi and was the most common source of meat. And the grayish-white shell could be ground into powder to make nutrient drinks for new sublimators during their recovery period …
A snail was talking to him?
Huai Shi scratched his head.
What kind of illusion was this?
"Yes, that's right. It's me. I'm a snail."
The voice said, "Let me introduce myself, Mr. Huai Shi. My name is Odum. You may be wary of me, but after seeing this, you should dispel your doubts.
Ugh — "
Accompanied by a muffled groan, the snail squirmed on the ground as if it was trying hard. But after squirming for a long time, it was deflated.
"Sorry, can you give me some water?" Odum said. "This body has been thirsty for too long and has no strength."
"…"
In the silence, Huai Shi took out a bottle of water from the Ultimate with trembling hands.
"It's for you."
No, it's too miserable. This guy is too miserable …
He couldn't take it anymore.
He originally thought that such a stealthy appearance was a terrifying enemy or a hero in the Abyss, but he didn't expect it to be an edible snail that was almost crushed to death.
Was this Hell?
Wasn't it too bizarre …
After drinking a bottle of water, the snail seemed to have been pumped with air as it grew. Soon, the limbs outside the shell swelled rapidly. Then, like vomiting, it spat out a piece of sticky and shiny metal from its mouth.
On the front of the iron plate was the emblem of the Utopia, and on the back was the emblem of a black whale. At this moment, it was emitting the same origin substance fluctuations as the snail in front of him.
To be precise, it was ridiculous that a snail could emit origin substance fluctuations!
Moreover, according to the certificate, it was actually a subordinate member of the Utopia's Hell. It had been granted a position and establishment, and it was an official employee unlike the cannon fodder of the undead!
Now, in front of Huai Shi was a [Black Whale]!
In the former research institute of the Utopia, most of the members who were active in the depths were named after animals.
Among them, not to mention the armed researchers, the White Doves, the Red Deer, a merchant who wandered between Hell to obtain resources for the Ivory Tower, and the Gray Stork, an agent who had disguised himself as a creature of Hell to carry out secret missions in Hell.
And the last, the Black Whale, was simply the leader of a large group in Hell.
He was a local through and through!
"Let me introduce myself again."
The snail said, "My name is Odum, a non-staff member who joined the Utopia 110 years ago. At the same time, I'm also your guide in the Dark Abyss.
In your mission plan, there should be a related introduction. "
Huai Shi was stunned.
Plan?
That kind of thing was gone the moment they walked out of the Emergence Realm, let alone apply it.
All this time, he had completely forgotten that he had a guide in Hell!
He rummaged through the End for a long time and finally found Odum's name in the guide section at the end.
But the specific situation was not written at all.
Russell only said that it would contact him when he reached the place.
But he was already twenty depths away from the original meeting point! How could it come to him?
Wasn't this tracking ability a little too terrifying?
"Nice to meet you."
Huai Shi subconsciously reached out to shake hands, only to realize that the other party did not have such a thing.
In short, after repeated verification, he could be considered to have come into contact with suspicion and vigilance for the time being.
Since it was an ally, it was naturally very good.
There was good wine when a friend came.
"Please come in, please come in …" Huai Shi stepped aside and led the way.
But Odum stood in place, motionless.
After a short and awkward silence, the snail whispered, "I'm sorry, I can't walk. Can I trouble you to give me a hand? "
"…"
.
.
Ten minutes later, on the table on the bridge.
Odum chewed on the vegetable leaves that Huai Shi brought over, and the two drooping eyes finally regained a little bit of life.
"Oh, I'm starving. This body has been hibernating for decades and is about to die. Anyway, thank you very much."
Odum let out a carefree voice. "But it's really good to see everyone safe and sound again. After all, the pursuit of the ministers was a little worrying. "
"Again?" Huai Shi felt that something was not right.
"Ah, this … Actually, we've met once before."
Odum coughed. "But that time, before I had time to speak, you pulled out my shell and threw it into the pot. If you ask me, my taste is actually not very compatible with curry. You should try boiling it … After boiling it, everyone said that it's very fresh and tender. It'll taste very good with some salt! "
For a moment, the corners of Huai Shi's eyes began to twitch.
It was hard to understand.
So, he had unknowingly eaten an ally?
"Ah, please don't mind it. If you want to survive in Hell, you have to have a little specialty," Odum explained.
Odum explained, "To put it simply, you can treat all the Rust Snails as an extension of my senses. As the leader of the swarm, I have to have some special skills … Ahem, let's skip over these trivial matters. I came here in a hurry because I have something important to inform everyone."
The snail paused for a moment, thought carefully, calmly analyzed, and finally said straightforwardly:
"You're in big trouble."
.
.
As a non-staff member of the Republic in Hell, Odum's days were actually quite leisurely.
Although he was the leader of a large group, the rust snail was too harmless. The Republic did not have any expectations for his combat ability.
He basically acted as an intelligence source for the Republic and regularly reported what he had spied on through the rust snails.
He did not ask for anything in return, nor did he want to use this to obtain anything. He was the kind of volunteer who worked for free.
In any case, he had nothing to do.
As long as the rust snail was not completely extinct, there was no possibility of it dying. In the entire deep zone, there were always one or two of them wherever there was water. Moreover, they laid tens of thousands of eggs at once. They were resistant, durable, and tenacious.
Although they were so small that almost no one cared about them, and they most often appeared in pots and dining tables, their tenacious vitality still continued. Even Hell could not erase them.
In this long and endless life, if one did not want to completely degenerate into an ignorant beast or be driven crazy by boredom and dullness, one had to find some entertainment for themselves.
And for more than a hundred years, the biggest entertainment in Hell was probably Celestial genealogy.
Later on, after the Republic was gone, he was not affected much. He lazed around for decades until Russell contacted him again and entrusted him with the job of a guide.
His instincts told him that there would be new entertainment this time!
Sure enough, Fate, no, Celestial genealogy had never disappointed the snail when it came to causing trouble.
Even if there was an accident midway, he could always sense the traces of Huai Shi and the others through the rust snail's perception. After the crash, not only did these guys not suffer any setbacks, but they were like bandits who had broken out of prison and wild dogs that had escaped from their leash, setting off a bloody storm in Hell.
And now, because of Huai Shi's existence, the entire deep zone and the Withering Boundary were in chaos!
Well, although it had always been chaotic, this time, there was finally order amidst the chaos.
At the critical juncture of the impending War of the Worlds, a new storm was brewing once again.
Relying on the enmity with the old seniors, as well as Huai Shi's own actions, the destruction of the Republic, the Blessed Land, the Corrupt Order, the Sea of Lightning, the Infernal Workshop Master, the Human Exhibition Bureau, the Hunting Group, the Children of Apocalypse, the Solidifiers that wandered between the various Hells …
In total, there were more than sixteen organizations, more than thirty crowns, seventy to eighty legions, hundreds of large groups, and all kinds of messy characters began to rapidly appear, approaching this area at an unprecedented speed.
There were only three things that everyone wanted to do here.
— Huai Shi, Huai Shi, and it was still Huai Shi!
"The last time I saw someone get messed up like this, it was Chuhai before he became a natural enemy!"
Speaking of this, Odum could not help but be overjoyed. "Just thinking of such a good … cough cough, such a dangerous thing, I couldn't help but rush over!"
For some reason, Huai Shi smelled a terrible aura from his guide.
The aura of a fun-loving person …
You're just here to watch the show!
