Deep in the Living

Chapter 669 Going deeper
The limping man stared at the group that had suddenly appeared before him, paying particular attention to Mr. Question Mark.

His slick head tilted slightly, as if he were both puzzled and threatened.

Since He came into this world, He has never seen any native life form that can heal itself after being infected with a hole.

Even Maximus, who could kill Him four times, couldn't do it. Once infected, the corresponding body part needs to be severed quickly, and it cannot regenerate in the following period.

If these natives hadn't somehow acquired combat uniforms, His invasion would have been unstoppable.

Moreover, the "hole" is His most prized ability and an important pillar for His ascension to Godhood.

"how did you do it?
Even those guys 'outside' would have a hard time repairing the hole structure in my body. You've been infected for so long, and it's a deep infection.

According to the plan, you should have long ago become mindless food, consumed by my offspring.

Mr. Question Mark did not respond, but instead twirled the coin on his finger, seemingly waiting for some opportunity.

Sitting on the big tongue, Gustav spoke up instead: "Your lousy hole is like a butt, what's so great about it? I can fill it up in no time."

"Stop talking nonsense. They don't even need to lift a finger. I'll deal with you myself. You're just a lowly creature without a tongue. What's so great about you..."

Suddenly, the webbed hands pressed down!
The large, tongue-shaped chair that Gustave was sitting in instantly turned into a pool of blood.
His facial expression also became a jumbled mess, his lips were pressed against his nose, his eyes rolled back, and his scalp was squeezed together.

boom!
He was instantly pinned to the ground, unable to move. Almost all of his internal organs were damaged. It felt as if an invisible, giant webbed hand was pressing down on his back, while a dense network of holes was trying to invade his body.

Gustav decisively bit his own tongue with his teeth.

The instant the tongue snapped... *snap*!

His body exploded, breaking free from the invisible suppression, and transformed into tiny tongues that converged and took shape in other areas.

"Phew~ That scared me! Oh, it was just a joke, why are you so angry? I just don't like people without tongues, it makes them seem tasteless."

Don't be angry, okay? Let me calm down, I'll come and kill you right away!

Gustav immediately began doing all sorts of exaggerated warm-up exercises on the spot.

however,
The lame man realized something; he had long ago discovered that the lower creatures of this world had a habit of being glib and talkative.

He also realized that this monster, whose entire body was made of tongues, was merely distracting him.

His gaze shifted from the tongue to two other important targets.
One is a question mark man who can erase the infection from the hole.

One was Maximus, who had lost both arms and posed the greatest threat to him.

However, neither of them moved; they simply remained in place.

But He always felt that something was off about the scene before him, as if something was missing, as if something had been overlooked.

"Wait... how many natives came down just now? I think there were three."

One was a tongue, another a question mark, and a weak native, barely breathing, with indistinct features... Where did they go?

Just as He realized that one person was missing, the teleportation was completed.

He initially chose Roddy, who was standing next to Teacher Guo. Roddy had a tongue growing from his palm, which was Gustav's tongue monster pet, and it helped him further erase his own aura.

In conjunction with Gustave's attention-grabbing presence and Mr. Question Mark, Maximus, two important figures, are present here.

Roddy was overlooked.

Teacher Guo immediately used vortex teleportation to silently move behind the other party.

Almost at the same moment, the class monitor's voice rang in Luo Di's mind. The latter, by absorbing the other party's skin and flesh, had already analyzed the weakest area on the back of this extraterrestrial god.

The "Hand of Prometheus," which encompasses the characteristics of corners, hell, and beyond, has already been affixed.

Roddy used the methods he had been hiding from the very beginning at this moment.

[Channel Creation]

An unusual hole, a hole lined with metal, a hole that leads straight to the depths, has been carved out in the lame man's back.

This is a passageway belonging to Roddy, and is not under the control of the other party.

That was exactly the moment the passage was completed.

With his last bit of strength, Teacher Guo used the vortex pattern he had left in Luo Di's palm to teleport everyone except him inside.

Whoosh!
in an instant,
At the bottom of this deep pit, only the white-haired Teacher Guo remained.

There's a reason he didn't go in.

A smile played on his lips as he said softly, "You want to kill me, you foreign god..."

These swirling words made the lame man pause, as if they were truly pulling at his thoughts, making him want to go over and kill the local mongrel.

Reason and crisis made Him realize that He absolutely could not waste time on the person in front of Him.

"How is this possible? How could someone on your side be able to establish such a high-dimensional channel? How could they drill a hole in me?"

The lame man paid no heed to the natives before him; he sensed an unprecedented crisis and focused all his attention on the [holey nest] within his body.

The secret of "infinite rebirth" lies hidden deep within. Seeing that the Outer God before him was no longer moving, Teacher Guo sighed slightly. He had originally intended to lure the Outer God over to kill him, thus buying everyone more time, since he was completely drained and unable to contribute anything.

If death could buy him time and increase his chances of winning, he would absolutely be willing to do so.

"I never imagined it would have to go to this extent. Once I fail, there's no turning back... Sigh, I'm really not a qualified teacher."

Teacher Guo lost consciousness for a moment, and her body was about to collapse.

A hand reached out and steadily helped him up.

Wu Wen appeared to the side in an extremely bizarre physical form, the infected, porous structure temporarily suppressed by her flesh and blood.

A gentle voice came through: "Teacher Guo, don't worry... Luo Di will always succeed, not to mention that so many teachers are helping him this time."

……

【Cave in the Body】

Gusta used his tongue to hang the one-armed Maximus on his back to prevent him from bringing bad luck during their movement.

Mr. Question Mark is playing a single-player running game, trying to reach his maximum speed and get ahead of everyone else.

Roddy had to adopt his spinal-opening posture to barely keep up with the speed of his two seniors.

Although he had anticipated that there might be a hidden world inside this Outer God's body, he never expected it to be so large, to an exaggerated degree.

They sprinted nearly a kilometer in a short time, but still couldn't see the end.

Moreover, things soon took an unexpected turn.

It began with a channel for the seepage of mucus. As the crack appeared, a tadpole-like creature fell in and quickly grew into a form resembling an Outer God.

But the next second,
Gustav suddenly made a move.
It wasn't about whipping with the tongue, but rather throwing Teacher Ma out like a cannonball.

Before the tadpoles had fully grown, they were smashed to pieces. It must be said, this throwing method seemed even more effective than Teacher Ma doing it himself.

The impact ended.

The tongue immediately retrieved Teacher Ma and put him back on its back, and the resulting injuries were also immediately licked away by the tongue.

Another intervention followed immediately: the metal passage created by Roddy was forcibly blocked, and multiple forks appeared in front of them, each with a different feel.

It was pitch black, viscous, and rocky, and you could hear the sound of flippers treading on it.

This fork in the road didn't waste anyone's time. Mr. Question Mark, who was at the front, seemed to know the "answer" and was able to make the right decision instantly.

And so, with Teacher Ma's cannonballs clearing obstacles along the way and Mr. Question Mark choosing the right path, they trekked for over five thousand meters.

hum!
Suddenly, everyone lost their footing and fell vertically.

It is located in a hemispherical inner hall, which is nearly a kilometer in size, and is covered with perforated structures on all sides and the top.

This is the core of the cave, the origin of all its porous structures.

Front of the hall,

A bulky, hairy toad-like creature lies, or rather, its back is embedded in the wall, blending into the area.

A physique exceeding 100 meters,

Six slender, disproportionately large "hands" are resting on either side of the body.

His bloated abdomen occupied about 70% of his body surface, and its surface was covered with bulging "uterine bodies" that carried swimming divine tadpoles.

Its back, embedded in the wall, maintains a transmission connection with the passageway between the halls.

As long as the divine body engaged in external activities dies.
Then a divine tadpole will be transported out.
During the transmission process through the hole, the tadpole can undergo complete metamorphosis and grow into a divine larva. Once it comes into contact with the outside air, it can grow and mature rapidly.

Somewhat strangely,
A metal shackle, out of place in the environment, bound one of His legs, seemingly restricting and imprisoning Him here.

anyway,

This is the true nature of the lame man.

His long-closed eyes gradually opened, revealing six tadpole-shaped pupils that swam in circles between the whites of his eyes, staring at the intruder before him.

Anger, hatred, unease...

suddenly,
The divine tadpoles in the toad's abdomen are almost all transported out, and they only need to undergo a complete transportation process in the passageway to mature.

Hundreds of divine beings will arrive here to annihilate any intruders.

however,
Mr. Question Mark made a move.

He pressed his arm against the wall, releasing a game domain that caused doors to appear out of thin air, sealing off all the passages.

She reached out and brushed aside the dark green strands of hair that were hanging in front of her eyes.
His lips uttered words with a captivating charm:
"Thank you for your deep infection. Thank you for not killing me immediately, but imprisoning me in the deepest part, allowing me to have close contact with your offspring."

I've solved the hole puzzle, now... we'll kill you.
