229: Worm of Erosion (19)_1
How did these things get so big? Clearly, there’s nothing but wood to chew on down here.
Staring at the giant water bubble that was quickly filling up, Fu Qian felt a surge of emotion.
They don’t even have hair, if the meat is okay, it’d be so convenient for barbecue.
“How long do you plan on watching?”
Unexpectedly, at that moment, the seated figure turned their head to look over.
Quite impressive, being so far away and not even glancing this way once, yet still sensing my presence.
It must be related to the synchronization mentioned by him; the entire underground structure has established some special connection with him.
“Run!”
Realizing he had been discovered, the Interlocutor almost immediately spoke up, succinct and to the point.
“He’s far more terrifying than Liang Yuntian, you’re no match for him!”
Do I need you to tell me that? It’s obvious Liang Yuntian is getting whipped.
Fu Qian secretly complained but did not heed the advice.
The next moment, he walked in unabashedly, bypassing the pond and standing on the other side.
Sure, I could walk away. He’s busy dealing with Liang Yuntian and probably won’t chase after me with full effort.
But as mentioned just now, Liang Yuntian, this hitter, is one of the most valuable tools at the moment and has to be fully utilized.
Letting him hang there like that would be a severe waste of resources.
“Not bad, I thought you would run!”
Watching Fu Qian’s actions, the figure in the seat showed approval on their face.
After smiling and sizing him up for a moment, the next moment they frowned slightly.
“You are a peculiar being indeed!”
“Oh? How peculiar?”
Fu Qian asked with genuine curiosity.
“You are clearly unblessed, yet you maintain your sanity after the Tide of Spirituality… and even show initial signs of fusion on your body, which puzzles me quite a bit.”
“So that’s what’s strange.”
After hearing this, Fu Qian just shook his head.
“That only shows your lack of imagination; such settings come easily to mind, for example—’Child of Destiny·Starting with the Transcendent Bone Dug Up’.”
“…What?”
It was clear the other party did not quite understand.
“Never mind, are you Qiu Chengyi?”
Fu Qian decided not to linger on that topic with him.
“Qiu Chengyi?”
Upon hearing this, the person on the seat let out a low chuckle.
“A name is but a code; you may indeed address me as such.”
You’re doing a pretty good job pretending, I’ll give you eighty out of a hundred!
Fu Qian mused, while sizing up Qiu Chengyi.
By appearance, this person seemed to be the most normal one he had encountered, with almost nothing conspicuously off-putting.
A buzz cut, shirt, jeans, not very tall, somewhat thin—truly the most common college student image.
However, somehow, Fu Qian still felt something wasn’t quite right.
“Speaking of which, why are you here?”
Qiu Chengyi pointed in the direction from which Fu Qian had come.
“In such a place, surely no one would come in willingly, right?”
“Surely no ‘normal person’ would come in willingly.”
Fu Qian replied offhandedly.
“As for why I’m here, the reason is simple, because I am the mastermind behind the scenes.”
He pointed in the direction of Liang Yuntian.
“The trouble he’s giving you, I provided the information for that.”
“Damn!”
As soon as these words came out, it was the Interlocutor’s voice that responded immediately.
“You really can’t live without seeking death, can you? Can’t you try to avoid drawing hatred for just a little while?”
