Abnormal creatures' communication group

【World Manipulator】Fanatical Master Architect: Of course.

[Sunshine Commander] Sunshine Porter: Don't you trust Steve too little? He's obviously a pretty good person.

Sunflower, who had been busy all the time and hadn't been online for a long time, finally had the chance to come out and talk for a while. He didn't quite understand why the people in this group treated Steve like this. The last time he came to help him, Steve didn't drag his feet or anything.

【World Manipulator】Fanatical Architect: No.

[Chess Player] The nameless person nailed in the coffin: I knew it...

The doctor on the other side of the screen sighed helplessly, as if he could already see Sunflower's confused face through the screen. Steve's reliability and unreliability have always been proportional, so it's not surprising that he complained like this.

And considering Steve's thick skin, he probably wouldn't care about this little complaint, and might even think it's a compliment to him...

[World Manipulator] Avid Architect: So no one's really coming to visit? I can't enjoy such a magnificent view alone.

[Traveler] Have you seen my sister? : Traveling? I happen to be free here.

Kong was somewhat moved by the other party's description. After all, some of the incredible wonders produced in the other world were more magical than any world he had ever experienced. They could completely disregard any rules and create incredible scenery and buildings.

[Iron Man] Ordinary Rich Man: Kong, I advise you to calm down and don't listen to that guy's nonsense.

Tony Stark, who knew part of the truth, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He rubbed his eyes subconsciously and yawned.

[World Manipulator] Fanatical Master Architect: I'm not talking nonsense, everything I say is true!

Steve typed this out with a guilty conscience, refusing to admit it.

Iron Man: Ordinary Rich Man: Honestly, bullshit! When you asked me for a cooling system a few days ago, you kept complaining about how hot Hell is, how scarce it is, and how it's all magma, and how you were so hot you were about to evaporate and die. And what happened? Because of the laws of the universe, my cooling system broke down after I went there. It either had no cooling effect or only had a heating effect. How could you be looking for people to travel with? Are you trying to drag more people into this?

[World Manipulator] Avid Architect: I wasn't wrong, then. A very warm welcome, isn't it? Aren't those lava lakes and those bizarre cliffs and inverted mountains truly magnificent? I never mentioned the climate here being pleasant!

[Iron Man] Ordinary rich man: ...I underestimated the thickness of your skin.

【World Manipulator】Fanatical Architect: That's not the case, is it?

Tony Stark couldn't help but roll his eyes as he looked at the smug look that was almost bursting through the screen.

He simply didn't bother to deal with it anymore and went back to do his own experiment. If anyone got fooled by that time, it would have nothing to do with him. If someone still got fooled after he had already warned them, he would have no obligation to stop them.

【Void Heart】Ghost: I want to go,

It is impossible for him to miss home, he will never miss home in this life. The ghost who had just returned was immediately discouraged by all kinds of strange things and decisively chose to run away again.

Iron Man: Ordinary Rich Man: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Ghost, there's nothing interesting there. Just some lava and rock. Also, the reconnaissance equipment I sent out earlier showed that the heat there is high enough to evaporate an average person's body. Those lava lakes and those fantastical formations might look amazing if you sweat, but they're just that simple. Too much of it will just get boring. The food isn't anything special, either. I have everything you need to eat here. If you want to go out and have some fun, why not consider coming over? Anyway, I'm about to expand my interstellar travel, and it won't take more than three days.

Tony Stark, who had just finished complaining and decided to focus on his research and not care about anything else, was immediately startled by the ghost's words and blurted out this long paragraph without thinking.

Are you kidding? Wouldn't it be too unfair to the ghost to let him go to that terrible and awful place like Steve?

In order to pull the ghost out, Tony Stark even planned to increase the salary five times at all costs and build the spacecraft in advance.

Otherwise, according to the original plan, it would take at least a month.

[God of the Void] Ghost: No need.

The ghost flatly rejected Stark's proposal. After all, he still remembered that the other world also had your inexplicable Void Church, and if he went there, it would definitely become troublesome! He just wanted to simply rest and have a vacation, and didn't want to get involved in any trouble.

[Iron Man] Ordinary Rich Man: You have to be careful with that ghost. It's too hot over there Steve and it's hard for us to resist.

When talking about this, Tony Stark suddenly thought of something very interesting. He once studied the basic structure of the other world and found that all things on the other side were composed of small cubes, just like the most essential cells in their world. Compared with the structure of cells in their world, the structure is more stable and it is difficult to mutate and have some messy things. The disadvantage is that it is not flexible enough.

The ghosts had made their plans and were just about to set off when they were caught by Chunchun and Green from the left and right. They looked at the ghosts at the same time.

The sole purpose was to persuade the ghost to stay and finish the job first, and Green wanted to tell his father that he must take him along this time no matter what.

The ghost looked at the two of them who were on high alert and could only helplessly postpone the plan a little. After all, the next reception still had to be taken a little more seriously.

Of course, don't take it too seriously.

After all, such a big scene is a great honor for the loser.

410 Visit

Even though she had heard about the kingdom described to her by the border soldiers and had made every mental preparation, she still couldn't help but feel dazed when she saw this huge kingdom standing in the wind and sand.

There were insects coming and going, and even some other creatures she had never seen before.

You couldn't see its legs bouncing forward, and it accidentally rolled into a ball on the ground. Its body was covered with green leafy plants and sharp thorns, and some roasted mushrooms were stuck on it. It was eating them as it walked.

She also saw a strange race with three hands sticking out from under the cloak, spiders shopping together, and a huge reptile with a dark yellow shell and forelimbs.

She saw many fat bees, with some small bees' heads poking out from their thick fur from time to time, walking busily on the wide street.

There were even some taller mushrooms leading some smaller mushrooms, holding some mushroom skewers in their hands, which were poured with some golden liquid that smelled very sweet.

She even saw some mantises. She was familiar with that race. They were all proud warriors with their own set of rules. They stubbornly stayed in their own little world and refused to take a single step out.

But she didn't expect to see some elite warriors from the mantis tribe today, just like ordinary races, holding unknown delicacies in their hands and chatting about where there are new good places to maintain their forelimbs.

She thought she would be stopped when she came in, and she even prepared a complete explanation.

But no, those solemn and upright guards just glanced at her and let her in, as if they didn't take her seriously at all.

If it were in the past, as the queen of Mayi, Maya had never been treated like this, and she would be furious. She might even have to take these guys away for punishment.

But now... she was just a down-and-out person who came here to seek peace. What qualifications did she have to make comments here, and what qualifications did she have to be picky?

Maya was even thankful for the other party's disregard and leniency towards her, which at least prevented her from wasting too much time on the road.

As she walked, she listened, and the more she listened and the more she understood, the more panic she felt about the offense she had taken.

This city, which seemed quite complete and magnificent to her, was just a place used by the kingdom to entertain passing travelers. The kingdom's real territory still needed to be explored further.

She walked forward with a heavy heart. The aroma of food on the roadside aroused her appetite, but Maya had neither the money used by this kingdom to trade nor anything to trade on her. Moreover, what could their poor kingdom have that would be recognized here?

So she could only lower her head even lower and walk faster.

On the way, she saw a poor guy causing trouble. She couldn't hear clearly because he was too far away. But from the insects around her, she heard that the trouble was probably caused by not being able to pay. The tall guard came over immediately, beat the guy to the ground in no time, and then dragged him away from the street like a dead dog, probably throwing him into jail.

During this process, the bravery of the guards was not the most impressive thing for Maya. After all, she had witnessed the bravery of the Zerg warriors in this country, which was even more brave than those of the Mantis Clan. What surprised her was that the other insects just regarded this matter as something very ordinary and even trivial.

Then they talk about the other party as if it were a joke, as if they didn't care about the other party's trouble at all, without even a hint of panic, and not at all worried that they would be affected.

This shows that the confidence displayed by this kingdom is enough to awe-inspiring, so that no one cares about the clown.

Walk a little further and you will reach a magnificent round-roofed house. After waiting in an orderly manner to get a ticket, you can take the elevator down to the surface of this kingdom.

She squeezed nervously in the middle of a bunch of strange-looking insects, or some other creatures, as the elevator slowly descended.

The elevator was spacious and stable. There were shelves on the surrounding guardrails with some food on them. However, you had to pay at least one Geo to take it. Even though Maya felt hungry, she could only force herself to endure it and not look.

Perhaps the sound of its abdomen wriggling was a little louder, and a bug standing nearby, wearing armor and with its face unclear, slowly turned around and looked at her. After a moment of silence, it took out a few Geo and put them into the box, took out some food and handed it to her.

Maya watched in silence, then shook her head slightly.

After all, she was the queen of a kingdom. No matter how hungry she was, she would not rely on others' charity for food. Besides, she was not that hungry.

Seeing how determined she was, the man in armor didn't say much. He raised his hand under the mask and stuffed the red fruit into his mouth with a crisp sound.

As soon as Mai came down, she met two guards who asked her about her identity. However, seeing that the insects around her either took out a strange amulet or accepted the questioning obediently, she understood that she was not an exception, but that every insect that came here for the first time was questioned in a row.

She should have explained her purpose and what she wanted to do. After that, she would probably be taken to the terrifying guy immediately, and there would be no need to continue to hang out with other insects here. But she swallowed the words as soon as she opened her mouth, so she said that she was just an ordinary insect who came to travel, reported her race, and hurried away.

For some reason, she suddenly wanted to visit all the places here before making any other plans.

The underground passage was spacious and tall, and it was no problem to accommodate a few hundred insects. She walked forward and saw a small house marked with a hot spring. However, the price on it made her give up after just one glance.

However, she also saw some flyers recruiting temporary workers. The remuneration offered was very generous and satisfactory, but the time frames were too long. She couldn't stay here for that long, so she had to give up with regret.

She also saw some people who specialized in serving those furry creatures that were covered with green leaves. They would trim the excess green leaves on their bodies or dye them in trendy colors. She even saw a bright red guy walking out from there. The color was so eye-catching.

She also saw the small shop for carapace care that the mantises had talked about before, and saw the requirements for short-term day workers. She hesitated for a moment and stepped in.

411 Past

When Maya went to apply for the job, the owner waited for her for a while. She was a beetle that looked a little older. Except for the mask on her face which was still so simple, her whole body was almost dyed with colorful colors. It was indescribable how strange it was, but it was hard for the insect to take its eyes off it.

At the beginning, the owner asked Maya enthusiastically whether she wanted nail polishing or limb care, or to follow the trend and dye her skin?

However, when the owner heard that it was a job application, his enthusiasm was immediately extinguished.

The mask concealed his expression, but it couldn't hide the look of disgust.

He wasn't saying that the other person's plain and unpretentious appearance really didn't seem like someone who could do this. You have to know that the skilled bugs in this field don't use their long-standing experience to experiment on themselves, otherwise how can they convince others? Even if it's just a temporary job for a short period of time, there are still requirements.

He looked Maya up and down and spoke reluctantly.

"Do you have any relevant experience? Do you know the most basic plant color ratios?"

Maya shook her head blankly, watching the other party turn around and leave without any concealment. She just opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopped herself. In the end, she said nothing and just prepared to leave dejectedly.

Perhaps it was her dejected look that made the wealthy insect feel some sympathy for her.

The shop owner took two steps, then turned around and looked at her seriously.

"Judging from your appearance, you must be a homeless wretch wandering from some dilapidated corner. Walk a little further, out of the garden, and you'll reach the Void Church. The Void Church distributes food to needy bugs for free. It's not much, and it's not fine, but it's enough to keep you fed and clothed."

After he finished speaking, he explained himself dryly, "It's not that I don't want to keep you, but this is fine. The requirements are quite high. If you can't meet them, it will ruin my reputation. Then I'll have to drink the sand of Howling Cliffs with you."

After he said this, he kicked Maya out without mercy, and did not forget to slam the door shut, as if he was afraid that the other party would rely on him.

Maya came to her senses and was filled with rage. She had been humiliated enough, and her dignity had been thrown to the ground and trampled upon. But that didn't mean that a guy like this could come and humiliate her!

She subconsciously wanted to call the guards, but just as her anger rose and her hand was halfway raised, Maya remembered that this was no longer her country.

What's more, what the other party said was right. Her country was almost turned into ruins, more than half of the people were killed or injured, and there was no hope of moving forward. What else could such a country be but a dilapidated corner?

And she came to this country with the determination to die. She might never be able to go back and lose her home and country forever. Isn't this just a wandering insect with no place to live?

It was probably because the other party told her the truth that she could not accept at all, so she felt so helpless and furious.

Finally, she took another look at the store, and silently staggered forward in this gorgeous street, at the intersection bustling with insects, in a city filled with the fragrance of fireworks and the atmosphere of wealth.

Walk lightly and slowly, but never stop.

Going further ahead is a big fork in the road. One is spacious and bright, while the other seems a little narrow and cramped compared to this spacious place. Of course, Maya also understands that this is just an illusion, because even this seemingly narrow place is no different from the previous main road.

But what was strange was that no one was moving forward on the spacious road, but there were mountains of insects, seas of insects, and crowded insects. There were also a few particularly tall insects with particularly long necks, who stretched out their arms and stared at the decorative vines above their heads with their eyes rolling, swallowing their saliva as they passed by quickly.

She walked a little closer and found that there was a no-entry sign there. It was written in a font she had never seen before. It was pure white and very beautiful, but she could understand its meaning.

Looking closely, she saw that the intersection was blocked by a transparent curtain with a slightly black tint. She couldn't help but quietly move closer and touch it. It didn't hurt, but it was immediately bounced away.

Walking further, she saw the place the shopkeeper had mentioned, a place called the Temple of the Void. There were two guards at the main entrance of the temple, wearing white armor and holding huge sickles. It was unclear what kind of insects were inside. There was a box on the side of the temple, and in the box were some things called bread.

Any bug passing by can take a bread roll away, but the bread roll has no taste, and the bland one is not tasty either. It is also very rough to chew. Except for the bugs that are really hungry and have no income, they probably don't want to touch it.

Few insects would taste it out of curiosity, because it is not a waste and would result in a fine if wasted.

Maya lowered her head and wanted to walk past quickly.

Her pride as a queen did not allow her to accept such charity, but when she was about to pass by, she hesitated and stopped.

She took one with trembling hands, immediately stuffed it back into her clothes, lowered her head, and pushed through the swarm of insects like a guilty thief and ran quickly. She ran faster and faster until she reached a corner where there were few insects. Then she leaned against the wall, panting, and slowly rested.

While struggling to tear the piece of bread that was as dry and hard as a stone, he took a deep breath and tried hard to hold back his tears.

I haven't tasted this in a long time.

Maya suddenly thought of the most difficult time in the past, a time when she could not see hope or future, and when she was not yet a queen.

At that time, they didn't even have this kind of food to eat. The most common food was a kind of soil from the ground. They dug the softer soil from the ground, burned it red, filtered out the impurities through a filter, and then kneaded it into a ball and ate it.

Although it was unpalatable and hard to chew, the soil containing minerals provided them with rich nutrition, which could barely ensure that they would not starve to death.

Later, the soil was gone, and they began to bite stones and even eat minerals. Every year, no one knows how many of their kind died of starvation or from swallowing indigestible substances. She had also eaten the soil in the past, and she could endure the suffering back then. What's wrong with enduring it now?

In the end, Maya ate up all the bread, even licking up the crumbs, without wasting a single bit.

I should no longer make excuses for my cowardice and escape. It is time to face the purpose of my coming here and seek a way out for the ruined kingdom.

412 Why don’t you say something?

Ghosts really knew nothing about diplomatic etiquette. They had a wildness that was impossible to tame. Fortunately, due to their cute appearance and peaceful personality, they did not cause any impact. They only made the bugs of the Void Church a little more fanatical. After that, Hornet completely gave up on training ghosts in this area.

It won't cause any big problems anyway.

The hall responsible for receiving other guests was not built overly luxuriously. It even had a circular stage for martial arts competitions. After all, in this world, the bigger the fist, the more powerful it is.
