Deep in the Living

Chapter 299: The Secret Room in the Sewer

The concentration of mud fungi in the deep swamp was extremely high, but it had no effect on Rody who was diving rapidly. All pathogenic plagues could only stay on the periphery of his body.

Not only that,

The plague mud even moved in coordination with Rody's body, making him feel like a fish in water and able to dive quickly.

This is not the function of the clothes, the key reason comes from Rody's back.

If you look closely, you will find a layer of glowing green light wrapped around Rody's body, as well as a sack of "goods" on his back.

After diving to a depth of fifty meters in the deep swamp.

With the metal camera embedded in his eye socket, Rody quickly captured the bottom of the mud. It was not a rock layer, but a special tumor layer with traces of human processing.

At this time, a voice came from the "goods" in the backpack:
"Mr. Di, this is a coastal sewer, a project of the Tumor Dwellers. Just find a way to cut it open. The pipeline project was created by high-level Tumor Dwellers and has a high degree of self-healing ability."

Rody immediately moved close to the pipe, placed his palm on the surface, and a serrated tentacle quickly cut a gap and drilled into it.

Snapped!
The soles of your feet step on the smooth ground.
Only a little mud dripped down, and when he looked up, the gap that had just been cut had been repaired.

Just as Kalain said, Rody came to a sewer, which was an engineering area used for ocean purification. It was spread across the entire coastline and was very complicated. If you were not careful, you would get completely lost.

and,

This sewer used for purification is a very important project. If there is a problem, it may cause the [Sea of ​​Dead Ashes] to solidify and become blocked, and the real hell will be unable to discharge waste normally.

Anyone who dares to destroy the sewers and affect the purification of the ocean will be directly issued a Hell Wanted Order at the Grand Monastery. It is a red wanted order that ignores the rank difference and allows high-level demons to deal with them directly.

of course,

Rody just cut the wall of the pipe and used it to hide, which did not count as damage.

This place has certain similarities with the sewers in the human world.

The core sewage mainly flows in the middle channel, with flat ground for walking on both sides.

Rody temporarily leaned against a wall covered with fungi and moss. Blood kept flowing from his neck and palms. Once the blood fell on the ground, it would be greedily sucked by the fungi here and grow a cauliflower-like flower.

The neck that was cut in half is slowly healing.
The injuries on the palms came from the collision of weapons.
Not only was the butcher knife cut off, but Rody's knuckles were completely torn and his palm was almost split in two.

Just thinking back to what just happened, Luo Di was a little scared. If he was just a little slower, his head would be separated from his body. The so-called road to hell and the so-called corner agreement would no longer exist.

"This guy's killing skills are very high... and that decapitation feels very strange. If it happens again, I might really die. I hope Agatha can find me soon."

Rody had knocked on the metal pillars as he sank, using the thick mud to cover up the sound. I guess Agatha had already received the news.

A calm voice came from Karain, who was disguised as a commodity in the backpack, and it even sounded like he had just woken up.

"Mr. Di, I can sense the direction of the lighthouse and show you the shortest route out of this sewer."

Kalain seemed to have figured out that the wanted criminal was higher than Rody in both killing level and spine grade, so staying here didn't seem like a good idea.

However, Rody had his own ideas.
"The other party is very cautious. If I really escape, he will decisively give up on me, and it will be very difficult to find him later.

Moreover, this sewer still retains his "color".

I now know why this guy was able to kill so many villains without being discovered. His home should be somewhere in the sewer, in an unknown secret room.

After all, he is an exile, so it is understandable that he lives in a place like this."

Rody would not take this blow in vain.

While blocking the opponent's beheading, the close contact also released the color, and the slightest contamination achieved the "marking".

By marking, Rody can grasp the other party's whereabouts.

At present, the wanted criminal did not jump into the mud swamp directly to chase after us, but was going around to a farther sewer entrance and exit.

Not only that,

The gray marks also allowed Rody to unexpectedly glimpse the other party's life traces left in the sewer. These traces may help him find the wanted criminal's residence in the sewer.

A voice came from Kallain on my back:

"The ocean sewers are strictly supervised by the Tumor People, and patrols are arranged in each area. Moreover, what is processed below is the ultimate wastewater digested and rejected by Hell, which has no nutritional value.

Not only is there no food here, but it is also full of pathogenic fungi. Even if a tumor patient were to come and live here, it would be difficult for him to stay for a full week, let alone an outsider."

"Hasn't he got food?"

After Rody said this, Karen also reacted, "Indeed... Then Mr. Di, just follow your idea. I will do my best to assist you and try to hold on until Sister Agatha arrives." Compared with the strong emotions such as danger and excitement in Rody's body, Karen, who continued to disguise himself as a crystal product in his backpack, was very relaxed and did not have any emotional fluctuations.

It seemed that facing such a wanted criminal, he felt no sense of danger at all.

"Ah."

Rody ran quickly in the dirty and rotten sewer, and all kinds of stains splashed all over his body as he ran.

After a while, it stopped in front of a wall with a significantly lower fungus coverage, and the traces captured by the gray gathered here.

Put your hand on the wall and push hard.

Boom! It really opened.

A dark and pitch-black staircase leading downwards appeared, and at the same time a smell wafted out, a smell that did not belong to the sewer but that Rody was very familiar with.

When Rody was cultivating pituitary glands in the Moon City, this was the taste of the food he often ate because of hunger.

"Karen, do you know what's down there?"

"During the construction of the sewer, a large number of tumor residents were transferred here to work, so some temporary underground rest rooms were set up. This is probably one of the original rest rooms, and it was abandoned when the project was completed."

"It seems we found the right one..."

"Yes."

"Karen, do you have a weapon that you can use? A knife or an axe will do."

"I'm just a lighthouse keeper. I don't have these things. But if Mr. Di needs it, I might be able to make one for you temporarily. Wait a moment."

As Rody walked down the stairs, he felt something hard growing on his back.

As he reached for the backpack, a crystal-structured butcher knife was pulled out.

Although the blade is a little unbalanced and the weight is a little off front to back, the overall shape is still there.

Moreover, Luo Di could feel that the hardness of this knife was very high, which was completely different from the crystals he had eaten before. The other party was not a blacksmith, so it was good enough that he could create such a temporary prop in a short time.

"So hard... maybe this will work..."

Walk down the last step.

A homeless place filled with the smell of brains appeared before my eyes.

Since it was once a rest area for tumor patients, the space appears large.

There were a lot of abandoned beds here, one of which showed signs of someone having slept in it recently, and a quilt made of fresh leather.

A groove was also dug for physiological excretion, which can directly reach other areas of the sewer.

but,

What attracted Rody the most was something in the deepest part of the room...which was also the source of that familiar smell.

Rody did not see the door made of corpses under the Rat Abyss before, but saw something extremely strange and creepy.

"What's this?"

This special item reminded him of the description on the wanted poster.

All the insects that were killed would have their heads chopped off, and their whereabouts would disappear.

in front of you,

The skulls of dozens of pranksters are connected together like centipedes, with their brains acting as the connecting carriers between each skull, together forming some kind of biological instrument.

Looking at this skull instrument, Roddy could even hear bursts of wailing, as if the killed insects were not completely dead and were still connected to it.

Just as he slowly approached the instrument, wanting to find out what it was.

despair!
Tongue snapping!

"Here it comes! So fast!"

Perhaps he felt that his secret room had been discovered.

The gray sensor on Roddy's side discovered that the "wanted criminal" was coming at an unimaginable speed, even faster than his chainsaw.
