Chapter 640 The Secret of the Underground Cave (Part )
"That is?"
The appearance of the mutant was quite strange. It was wearing a cloak woven from green grass leaves. Its head was similar to an upright thumb. It was dark red in color and covered with fine lines similar to fingerprints. It had no facial features, but had a white bone mask on the left side with two round decorations, one large and one small, on it. There were two downward-curved tentacles on both sides of its head.
The part of his body below his neck was made up of many white insect legs, feet and toes, like a... strange cocoon.
Asymmetry!
Surprising!
It's as if they were butterflies and moths that had forced themselves out of their cocoons without fully undergoing the metamorphosis process; or it was as if they were longhorn beetles that had been stripped of their exoskeleton and had somehow found white insect legs and feet to wrap themselves up, hoping that one day they could break out of their cocoons and become butterflies.
"Duck."
The proprietress followed Zhou Qing's gaze and saw the mutant. She said in surprise, "I didn't expect it to be him!"
"very famous?"
"He is Captain Hope's deputy and a wise man. He lives in the bell tower. Kolako, Waqu, and Ailemu are his students. However, he stays there all year round and does not go out..."
The lady boss introduced, "To seek light in darkness is his mission!"
Dak?
Dark?
Zhou Qing's eyebrows jumped, but he saw that the "dark" figure had disappeared. He thought it had returned to the bell tower.
"Dake... I haven't seen him with such a horrified, even terrified expression for a long time." A slightly dull and hoarse voice sounded not far away.
Zhou Qing immediately turned around and saw Rico, Mahaha, and an adult woman with dark circles under her eyes, wearing shorts and a bulky cotton coat, with dark red hair, disguised as an alien.
"Riko, who is this?"
Zhou Qing walked forward and asked Li Ke, "Explorer from Abyss?"
"That, I, you, this..." The woman became nervous, her speech was incoherent, and her voice became smaller and smaller.
[She has the same personality as Youhui from Falling Star City! ]
Zhou Qing thought to himself.
And Liko introduced: "Her name is Timitite, and she is a human we met when we were searching for the value of noodles for the boss lady."
The wounds on Mahaha's body had completely healed, and the newly grown red hair had returned to its original pink color. He raised his tentacles happily and shouted to Zhou Qing: "Mahaha!"
[Very familiar! ]
Zhou Qing walked forward with a smile and touched Mahaha's head. He found it was very soft and had a faint fragrance - this was not unique to Mahaha, all furry and symmetrical aliens had similar characteristics.
The same is true for bunny girls.
Come to think of it, Xiao Wu also possesses a similar faint fragrance...a quality that is the perfect fusion of martial soul and physical body?
“If I didn’t know that these guys were once human beings, I would really like to bring one back with me as a pet for Yanyan on my way back.” Dugu Bo joked.
"Hmmmm~"
Hahaha trembled all over when she heard Dugu Bo say this - she certainly didn't understand what Dugu Bo said, but she could instinctively sense Dugu Bo's "bad intentions".
"This little thing is quite smart." Dugu Bo said with a smile.
"In terms of age, this pink mole is at least two hundred years old..."
After teasing Dugu Bo, Zhou Qing got back to the point and said to Timitite, "Hello, Ms. Timitite, have you come to the fifth floor in recent years?"
"Ah? No, no." Timidite shook his head in denial, lowered his head, and was very nervous, but still said, "I came from the Sun and Moon Continent with Captain Hope. I am a person who abandoned my hometown." This means that Timidite is a person from at least two hundred years ago!
How did you survive to this day?
He doesn't look like a master who has achieved success in cultivation. Instead, he has all kinds of minor ailments, including kidney deficiency, weak spleen, heart failure, tuberculosis, and liver atrophy. His physique is much worse than that of an ordinary person who has just recovered from a serious illness. He may even have trouble catching his breath after a little exercise.
Theoretically, even if this space is very special, it is impossible for an ordinary person to survive in such a weak state for nearly two hundred years.
Riko also talked about her encounter with Timidite at this time——
In order to give the proprietress the value she required, Riko and Mahaha left the hotel and headed towards the cave.
When they went around to the back of the cave, they found a ravine, about one meter long and unknown how many meters deep. But Riko was not afraid. She fixed the climbing rope and climbed down with Mahaha.
As we descended deeper, the space inside the ravine became wider and wider, until after a hundred meters, our feet touched the ground, and underneath was a cave that looked like a mine.
Although there is no light source, the visibility is not low, similar to a dark night under the full moon.
The floor of the cave was a layer of sticky mud, which looked extremely disgusting. The moment she stepped on it, Riko felt extremely uncomfortable.
However, to her surprise, the moment she lifted her feet, the mud did not touch her skin at all. Even if some of it seeped into the shoes, it would seep out from the soles and return to the whole.
Although Riko didn't know the reason, she didn't ask any more questions. She just stopped worrying and, together with Mahaha, held the wooden barrel and began to search for the Hope worm in the mud that didn't stick to the skin.
Although Riko got goosebumps all over her body when she touched the smooth, slimy Hope worm, she suppressed her nausea and put it into the barrel.
Haha was much more relaxed, as if he had done it many times before and didn't care at all. He even sucked the Hope worm he touched directly into his mouth from time to time, just like sucking noodles.
Well--
You know what, this is really the noodles from Nami Village.
that's it.
As he groped forward, he reached the center and saw a circular stone platform with a diameter of more than three meters. On it lay a naked woman with dark red hair.
"Someone!"
Riko was shocked and said excitedly, "Are there still humans in Nami Village? Have you seen them before?"
"Mah!"
Mahaha shouted.
"Uh, I still don't understand what you are saying." Li Ke was helpless, but sure that if Haha came here often to catch Hope worms, he would definitely see this woman often.
The woman's eyelids seemed to twitch because of Riko's voice, and she sat up.
"There's a girl? No, you should be from Abyss."
The woman didn't care that she was naked. She yawned and rubbed her eyes which had dark circles under them. Her eyes were dull, as if she had lost all her dreams.
"Hello, my name is Riko!"
Rico introduced herself.
"Hello."
The woman drooped her eyelids and tried hard to force a smile: (▽｀)ノノ, she wanted to get up, but it seemed like she hadn’t been off the stone platform for a long time. When she stood up, she felt a little unstable and shaky. Finally, she sat down on the edge of the stone platform, gasping for breath, as if she was frightened.
Rico: “…”
