Deep in the Living

Chapter 664 Bottom of the Deep Pit
Taking advantage of the island-wide impact of the plague, the offspring in the deep pit were all drawn to the island and crawled outwards, and the mist dissipated due to the plague.

Without any hesitation, Roddy leaped to the bottom of the pit.

"This 'bomb' of Katayama must have been specially prepared a long time ago. His previous release of it during the dungeon incident had far less effect."

It seems that Teacher Guo has made ample preparations.

This form of plague release could indeed cause the entire island to fall, cause major problems with its systems, and even kill all the young offspring in the sea.

But correspondingly...

Those beings from beyond the realm who can be called gods will definitely rush back immediately.

How can Teacher Guo fight against this all by himself?

Even if they could destroy the [channel] connecting to the outside world, if Teacher Guo's main body dies, the other party can still rebuild it, it will just take a little more time.

"Never mind, this isn't something I should be thinking about... Teacher Guo must be considering more things than I am; I just need to focus on my own work."

Just as Roddy moved his feet, preparing to find Mr. Question Mark's imprisonment area.

A wave of itching spread throughout his body, and he quickly rolled up his sleeve to look at his arm.

The special combat suits provided by humans are now being affected...

It's important to know that Roddy was not affected by the infection, whether he was fighting in the City of Sin or in the subsequent island infiltration. He had almost forgotten about the threat.

Currently, it is located at the bottom of this deep pit.

The surface of the combat suit was covered with dense dents, creating a near-physical perforation effect that seemed to want to penetrate the clothing and affect Roddy's body.

Spinal opening

Luo Di decisively adopted the Hellish posture, allowing his bone marrow to flow throughout his body and the moon pit structure to form on the surface of his skin, which finally eased the situation.

"The 'abnormal concentration' deep inside the pit is much higher than that outside, and the infection effect is estimated to be five times or more."

At this concentration, I could be directly infected if I suffer any structural damage... Mr. Question Mark has been imprisoned here for a long time, while also being affected by his offspring from outside the region.

Can he really hold on?

Despite his skepticism, Roddy followed his senses and began his search.

In any case, he needs to at least see Mr. Question Mark to determine the other person's situation.

Just as Roddy was focused on his exploration, something began to grow on his shoulder.

Looking at it from the side, it is a straight and stiff flower stem, with flowers slowly blooming at the top, blooming like a screen, and eventually forming a structure similar to an umbrella.

It's raining all over the island, and some snail shells are falling into the deep pits.

The soft canopy provides effective cushioning, preventing falling snail shells from breaking and effectively blocking the impact of the plague.

With Hua Yuan's assistance in this regard, Luo Di was able to focus entirely on finding the person.

The bottom of the pit is basically deserted, with most of the infected monsters marked as "food" kept at the top for their offspring to eat.

After a brief search, Roddy identified a general location.

It's probably at the edge corner, a few hundred meters away.

A very inconspicuous black cell door was fitted there perfectly, its presence extremely low compared to the other cells.

Upon seeing the small, dark metal door, Roddy's tongue, which had almost been scraped off, began to subtly respond.

"right here!"

Using his disguise, Luo Di approached step by step, until he was less than ten meters away from the cell door.

Pfft!
My heart was pounding... A strong feeling of palpitation washed over me, and my tongue curled up in a very serious position.

Danger is approaching.

However, the danger wasn't inside the cell, but in the vicinity.

Half of the Outer God's offspring, who should have been distracted by the explosion, actually returned, all pointing their hollow faces toward the doorway.

Even though they couldn't sense Roddy's disguise, they could sense someone approaching.

the reason is simple,
This cell contains "the most delicious food".
They were constantly thinking about eating the food in the cells, and even engaged in many fierce competitions with each other.

However, they could never reach the "food" inside.
Every time he opened the cell door to eat, he was always stopped by a strange method.

And so it is. The things in this cell are considered delicacies by them, and the area around the cell is filled with pheromones. Any creature, even one of their own kind, will be detected immediately when it approaches.

Their biological father also knows about what happened here.

Instead of stopping it, He encouraged this competition and promised that whoever could eat the food in the cell would receive His special gift.

"Six of them actually came looking for me. It seems the things in the cell are very attractive to them... Although they didn't see me, they could sense my approach."

If I try to open the door, I'll inevitably be exposed. Hua Yuan, prepare to make your move!

We can't open the door properly without killing them all. Besides, they've all been infected with the plague to varying degrees, so their original forms should have been weakened.

"These inhuman things look like frogs, they're disgusting. I don't want to tear these frogs apart with my bare hands. Anyway, Roddy, you've gotten a lot stronger, haven't you? Let me see how you work with Miss Meijin."

"I'll always hold the umbrella for you; just focus on fighting."

"alright."

Huff... A burst of hot breath escaped from his mouth.

Roddy's right hand gradually reached up to his cervical spine, and Meijin was ready to perform spinal surgery at any time!
The targets are all non-human beings with a body size of over ten meters, so the greatsword's slashes will be more efficient.

Just as he was about to pull out the Black Spine,

Swoosh! A strange sensation suddenly came from the Hand of Prometheus. A channel was forcibly formed inside the arm, and something even grew in the palm.

At this moment, the oppressive feeling of being surrounded by offspring disappeared, replaced by an absolute sense of security.

Look down.

A tongue that didn't belong to Roddy suddenly grew out of his palm.

The weird thing is,
Roddy was very familiar with the tongue, but suddenly couldn't remember whose it was, and he couldn't quite recall the name of his biology teacher at school.

The tongue slowly rose into the air, its tip sensing the specific situation on this side.

All the information was obtained in just one second.
His tongue suddenly began to elongate, then lashed out like a whip, sweeping towards the mature offspring who surrounded Luo Di.

"What!?"

Before Roddy could even react, all six of his offspring, each with a physique comparable to a giant, were instantly severed at the waist, their faces riddled with holes that emitted agonizing screams.

Not only that,

Their wounds were also coated with a biological saliva, which acted like a special liquid culture medium.

The dense flora of the tongue grows rapidly, eroding these offspring through "licking deprivation," giving them no chance to regenerate.

In less than half a minute, all six mature offspring were completely decomposed.

Tongue retracted.

Pooh!
He spat a mouthful of saliva containing frog mucus onto the ground, and the cleanup was complete.

follow closely,

The tongue began to try to pry open Roddy's palm, making the hole in his palm bigger and bigger... A slippery, invisible thing crawled out from inside and fell to the ground.

As the clear saliva on the other person's skin slowly fades away...

A familiar face appeared before me, with a red tongue tattoo below the right eye.

"Gusta...?!"

At this moment, Roddy finally remembered his name and quickly completed the relevant memories.

"Hey! Roddy, have you found the detention center yet? Don't waste time, let's hurry in and check on Question Mark's situation."

"Senior, what brings you here? Aren't you going to assist Teacher Guo?"

"My mission is similar to yours. I only need to help everyone complete the mimicry and camouflage, and then detonate the bombs after landing on the island. That will complete the entire mission."

Teacher Guo doesn't need anyone's assistance...

Now that the bomb has successfully detonated, and I have nothing else to do, I naturally came to check on your situation.

Gustav was clearly getting anxious, and had already placed his palm on the cell door.

The highly corrosive saliva directly damaged the door lock.

But when he saw the scene inside the cell, his tongue froze.

Luo Di immediately followed him inside, his body trembling slightly, "This..."

An individual, almost entirely skeletal with some skin still attached to its surface, was bound in the center of the cell, its body covered in holes that made up nearly 90% of its body.

Just looking at it is incredibly distressing.

He was completely unrecognizable as a living person; his condition was more terrifying than any other infected individual.

Just as they were about to examine the situation further, the skeleton moved... its trembling fingers wrote words on the ground.

"Don't disturb me, give me...time..."
