Chapter 188 What I Saw on the Road (Two in One)

Passing through countless uninhabited islands, Su Wu and his crew encountered problems with their ship.

"This is the third time we have returned to the same place." Maro observed the surrounding environment with a compass and couldn't help but frown.

There seems to be some kind of invisible obstacle on the edge of the uninhabited islands, pushing them back to where they started again and again.

"Well..." Su Wu took off his sunglasses and looked around.

The water was still a slightly darker blue than the sky, and there seemed to be no shadows. Apart from a few scattered small islands, there was nothing else around.

But their ship was just spinning in circles.

"Weird..." Su Wu said casually, touching his chin.

He jumped off the boat, stepped on the sea, and walked forward step by step without encountering any obstruction.

Nephibit squatted on the bow of the ship, covering a kilometer range to detect the situation.

Nothing was found.

The ship could continue forward again, and the journey was uneventful.

"Speaking of which, I seem to have overlooked something..." Su Wu thought as he stepped forward on the sea.

what is it then?

"Caught Meow!" Nephibit's surprise cheers came from behind, and... the sound of falling into the water.

Marrow fell into the water, but Nephibit was holding a strange lantern fish, looking at Marrow who fell into the water with doubtful eyes.

"What's wrong with him, meow?" Nifei asked, holding a fish that was bigger than her.

"Illusion." As soon as Su Wu finished speaking, the seawater near them turned into a deep black.

There seemed to be a shadow moving below that was larger than the ship.

Maro, who was originally floating on the water, was wrapped around the waist by a raspberry-pink tentacle and pulled downwards, disappearing in an instant.

The black shadow also quickly faded away.

"Octopus...?" Su Wu plunged into the water.

Three seconds later, he carried the unconscious Maro out of the water, while Maro still had a wriggling tentacle wrapped around his waist.

Suddenly there were violent ripples on the sea surface.

A huge giant octopus that seemed to be four or five stories high protruded from the sea, and its shadow covered the entire ship.

"I feel a bit groggy..." Su Wu looked at the raspberry-pink octopus and fell into deep thought.

A little heavy, but not that heavy.

It’s pretty chic to be ugly.

"——" The octopus emits strange sound waves, seeming to be communicating something.

No one present could understand, but they could see that the monster seemed hesitant.

What are you hesitating about?

It seems that it is just a little unclear about the strength level of this group of people, but it is full of hostility towards the outsiders who enter its territory.

It no longer hesitated, and waved its tentacles to stir up turbulent waves. Its silhouette covered the sky, like a sea god descending.

The ship was swaying from side to side, as if it would capsize in the next second.

"Reversal of the technique - He." Su Wu raised his hand, and red energy gathered in front of him, falling on the pink octopus as he moved.

Layers of ripples appeared in the air, and there was a loud explosion.

The octopus monster that took the blow fell back into the sea, making a huge splash and hitting the swaying ship that was struggling to stabilize.

The dark shadow under the bed gradually faded away, seemingly disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Su Wu can already skillfully use black flash as a basic attack method.

Logically speaking, most creatures would be dead after taking such a punch from him, but that octopus...

Still alive.

Even after receiving a blow, they seemed to understand the strength and status of their group and retreated.

After all, the octopus has three hearts... It's not surprising that it has a tough life.

"Ah...wait...don't run..." Nifebit was suddenly slapped by the big fish he was holding with its tail. It seemed that this blow had some dizzy effect. Nifebit was stunned for a moment, and then was slapped by the big fish. The fish seized the opportunity and jumped back into the sea from her arms.

It quickly disappeared.

The water returned to its original blue color.

Su Wu picked up Ma Luo, who had fallen into the water with a peaceful posture, as if he was dead, raised his hand and gave him two slaps, "Wake up."

"...Sir?" Maro opened his eyes in a daze, covering his swollen and hot face, as if he still didn't understand what happened.

"That fish..." Su Wu threw him back into the boat casually, recalling the fish Nephibit had caught.

That thing... seems to be able to make people fall into hallucinations. It appears together with the octopus, and it looks like they are cooperating with each other.

Even after the octopus was defeated, he ran away without hesitation, very much like an accomplice or follower.

Marrow was obviously mentally disturbed before he fell into the water. After falling into the water, he was swept away by the octopus's tentacles without hesitation. This process did not look like it was the first time he had done it.

As for why they are targeting Marlowe...

Could it be because this guy is the weakest on the ship, so he is regarded as a soft persimmon...

As inhuman beings, Kong and the three ants are inherently resistant to mental interference, and Su Wu... probably the octopus can't figure out whether he is a human or something else, but as long as the octopus is not crazy, he will not regard him as a human being. prey.

The three guards of the king are strong enough to beat Maro...

So the only one who can take action is Maruo. He probably thinks that he has already come and doesn’t want to leave without gaining anything.

"You... your mental resistance is a bit weak." Su said to Maro.

In fact, the strength can be seen, not particularly weak, but the mental resistance...

Su Wu himself felt that Maro's mental state was a bit unstable and he was always on the verge of becoming a pervert.

"I'm so sorry!" Marlow came to his senses in an instant. Regardless of his soaked clothes, he knelt on the deck with his red and swollen face.

You don't need to think about it to know that he must have caused trouble for the adults just now.

"It's all because I'm too weak! I'm so sorry!" He said every word, hitting his forehead on the deck with a muffled sound.

Within a few words, his forehead was already swollen and bleeding.

"..." Su Wu looked at the person kowtowing and wanted to sigh.

"I'm tired of hearing apologies. What you should be thinking about is how to strengthen your spirit..." He raised his foot and used his toes to stop the other party from kowtowing.

Of course, there is no lower limit on how to open it, so as to prevent the blood from the other person's head from staining his shoes.

"Those who are immersed in the painful memories of the past and cannot get out of it will have no future."

In fact, regardless of pain or happiness, those who are immersed in the past and cannot move towards the future will certainly not be able to have a future.

"Sir..." Maro held his hands on the deck, lowered his head, and his tears mixed with blood dripped down.

He saw... the appearance of the person who killed him.

Sir...want to kill him?

At that moment, he lost his mind and ability to think, and had only one idea.

Sure enough, this happened.

The adults must look down upon him, his strength...

Now that there are three more powerful ants, adults have always preferred non-human beings.

Without them, he would be even less useful, right?

It makes sense to kill garbage that is useless to adults, right?

He thought this, closed his eyes, and waited for death.

After regaining consciousness and realizing it was an hallucination, he didn't feel lucky, he only felt...even more afraid.

As expected... he would only be a hindrance to the adults.

"...Forget it, I can't understand your brain circuit." Su Wu waved his hands, too lazy to say anything else.

Ma Luo is the kind of poisonous Wei who only has his brother in his heart. His mind is full of his brother, and his emotions and sorrows are closely related to every word of his so-called brother.

Oh, after the brother here was replaced by Su Wu himself, he felt...

Somewhat pleasant.

Although he pinned everything on others, Su Wu couldn't understand this illusory spirit.

But if the person being regarded as God is himself, then there will be no problem.

"I'm hungry." He lay back on the chair, put on his sunglasses, and said in a long voice.

"I'll prepare food for you right away." Maro stood up quickly, not even bothering to wipe the blood from his head, and got busy again.

"..." The three guards of the Ant King inexplicably saw a familiar sense of déjà vu from the guy named Maro.

They seemed to behave the same as each other in front of the king.

so……

Did this guy actually treat that hateful human being as a king?

"It feels like we won't die that easily..." Su Wu touched his chin thoughtfully.

The strength of the Ant King's three guards and his strength have nothing to do with entering and exiting the Dark Continent. After all, he is considered the top combat power in the human world.

Unless all the creatures on the Dark Continent are stronger than Saiyan Nitro, but... is this possible?

According to Su Wu's guess, the danger in the dark continent probably comes from the strange abilities of those creatures, and the strength is secondary.

Just like the battles between people with telekinesis, the following often happens.

If you can't figure out the activation conditions and response methods of the ability, you will be confused when you encounter an attack, and then you will die in the unclear situation.

I guess I won’t know how I died until I died.

But they haven't even entered the Dark Continent yet, this is just the open sea.

There may still be a long way to go from the Dark Continent.

"Next, be more vigilant. When you meet your fellow villagers, remember to say hello to them and let them know that we are one of our own..." Su Wu said to the three ants.

"...We don't know them, meow." Nephibit said, wagging his tail.

But no one paid attention to her. Xiaoyapufu and Yupi were even more scheming than her now, and they had their own little plans in their hearts.

Without the presence of the king, it would be impossible for these three guards to get together.

The guards were born for the king. Without the king, there would be no meaning of existence.

After the ship continued to sail for a while, the color of the seawater in the nearby sea changed visibly to the naked eye.

It used to be the blue of sea water, but in the area where they are now, the water under the boat shows a light green.

It's like...the color of a lake.

All the rivers in the world eventually converge into the sea, and the end of the sea... seems to be a lake larger than the sea.

is it possible?

"...Speaking of which, is the sea we think of really the sea?" Su Wu looked at the color of the water below and raised his eyebrows as if he was asking other people or talking to himself.

Because the "sea" is so large that even with six eyes, nothing is wrong.

Because the sea is originally very big, very mysterious, and filled with many magical beings.

But... what if the sea they thought was just a huge, incredible lake?

"...It's really big..." Su Wu recalled the appearance of the world map and couldn't help but sigh.

If all the continents inhabited by humans are actually near lakes... this lake is really huge and a bit surprising.

"What else could it be if it wasn't the sea?" Xiao Yapufu asked, his narrow golden eyes full of calculations.

Could it be that this human being is thinking...

But how is this possible? No, that's not right...

Maybe it's possible.

It is true that the queen came from another world that is wider than the human world.

In other words, what this human guessed in his heart might really be true...

"Nanika, the queen, two siblings..." Su Wu was brainstorming.

"Zoldyck's pets..." He remembered the flying dragon that the old man from the Zoldyck family and Netero rode when they attacked the Ant King's Palace.

That thing is obviously also a creature from the Dark Continent.

And Nanika is also from the Dark Continent, but... why did it choose to possess Alluka? Why is it Zoldyck?

Is it because someone from Zoldyck has been to the Dark Continent, and Nanika followed him back? Or -

Did someone from Zoldyck bring Nanika back on purpose? But if it was brought back on purpose... why did they imprison him?

Is it because the person who brought Nanika out didn't actually want to do so? But Nanika had to be brought out?

If you get something, you have to pay a price... Maybe this is the price someone from the Zoldyck family has to pay when they enter the Dark Continent and leave?

Is it that flying dragon? If so... the members of the Zoldyck family may have been to the Dark Continent more than once.

"But how did the queen get here..." Su Wu was a little confused again.

It is said that the queen was covered with scars when she appeared, and she must have been hunted down. At first, she hid on the island to develop because she was worried about being discovered...

And the two siblings just wanted to catch each other, not to kill each other, and even helped the queen later, and the queen did not hide from them. If they were the two chasing the queen, then after they decided to observe the queen, the queen had no need to continue hiding to develop, but she still chose ngl, which means that she was still worried about being discovered by someone, so it can be ruled out that the two siblings were chasing the queen.

What if... the one who chased the queen was actually the one who brought the queen to the human world?

An idea suddenly popped up in Su Wu's mind.

Just like the Zoldyck family who brought Nanica out but had to imprison her because the other party possessed their own child.

If someone also had to bring the queen out, and decided to wipe out the queen after coming out, this guess... is also reasonable, right?

What about the Yang siblings? Were they also brought out by someone? Or is there another reason?

"If I had known, I would not have let them run away. It would have been better to catch them and use them as guides..." Su Wu murmured in a low voice.

The brother and sister ran away very quickly. After the ant king was caught, he ran away quickly and never appeared around Su Wu again.

If humans go to the Dark Continent...

They should need an acquaintance to lead the way, right?

Although it is not clear how many people have gone to the Dark Continent and returned alive, there should be a few.

A series of dense white foam suddenly rose from the calm light green water surface.

The foam gathered together and became larger and larger. Finally, several creatures made of water and shaped like skeleton slimes appeared in front of everyone.

Looking at the facial features alone, they look a bit like the legendary aliens.

They are tens of meters tall, with only two holes in their eyes, no mouth or nose, no limbs, and oval shape.

"Dululu--"

"Dululu--"

They have no mouths and do not move their mouths, but a series of sounds like boiling water are emitted from their bodies.

It seems to be an audio used for communication.

When they saw that Su Wu and the others did not react, they surrounded the ship.
