When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...
Jiang Yuan's invitation made the luminous giant squid hesitate, because just now, this guy had taken parts of the bodies of four fellow inmates as food, and once it ate them, it meant that it had chosen sides.
"Come on, catch!"
Jiang Yuan didn't care about any of that. He picked out a complete claw of a red copper prawn and tossed it to the glowing giant squid, saying, "Try it, this is a unique delicacy from the ocean."
Races may differ, but food is universal. He believed that no food in the sea could compare to that on land. After all, the ocean emphasizes the original, unprocessed flavor, while land emphasizes the perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste after processing. The two are simply not on the same level.
Before the glowing giant squid could think, the copper crayfish's large claws were already in front of it, and it instinctively grabbed them firmly.
"Don't eat it in the water, it will lose its flavor," Jiang Yuan thoughtfully reminded him.
Seemingly sensing Jiang Yuan's goodwill, the glowing giant squid cautiously extended half of its body into the dry environment where Jiang Yuan was. After confirming that there was no danger, it entered the entire squid and then imitated him by walking upright on its soft limbs.
"Thanks, bro!"
The luminous giant squid was clearly much more docile than its fellow inmates. After thanking them, it began to eat heartily, just like Jiang Yuan.
However, after taking the first bite, its expression changed drastically. From initial discomfort to gradual immersion, and even after the last bite, it was clearly enjoying this food it had never tasted before.
"Come on, let's have some drinks and hot pot. Our taste buds need a full range of stimulation to be fully developed!"
Jiang Yuan seized the opportunity to win over the luminous giant squid, generously sharing Haidilao hot pot and seahorse wine with it.
"Brother, then I won't be polite at all!"
For the first time, the glowing giant squid was like opening the door to a new world, and it never refused any food offered to it.
One man and one squid, enjoying delicious food and wine, began their brotherly boasting session.
“Mermaid brother, I’m not bragging to you. Back in the day, I wielded ten big cleavers and hacked my way from Blue Algae Street to the Sea King’s Palace. I hacked for seven days and seven nights and still couldn’t eat anything this delicious. I never expected to experience a sea creature paradise here today.”
Jiang Yuan: "..."
At first glance, Jiang Yuan didn't even understand what the luminous giant squid was trying to say, but when he thought about how fighting among the sea creatures was equivalent to eating, he suddenly realized that this guy was definitely trying to brag to him about the buffet he had been to before.
"If it weren't for that damned Sea King of the Sea King's Palace, I'd be living a carefree life somewhere right now, instead of being imprisoned here!" The Night-Shining Giant Squid's expression suddenly turned somber as it spoke.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan had a question in his mind: why would the sea race go to such great lengths to imprison these prisoners here, instead of just killing them and ending it all?
So he continued the conversation about the glowing giant squid, asking, "Brother Giant Squid, what crime did you commit to be exiled here?"
"Ugh, it's infuriating just thinking about it!"
The luminous giant squid put down the sea cucumber in its hand, sighed, and said, "It's all because I offended the Sea King. If it weren't for the fact that my family is quite prestigious among the sea creatures, I would have been eaten by that tyrannical Sea King long ago."
"So that's how it is!"
Jiang Yuan had a clear idea of what was going on. Some of the sea creatures imprisoned here must have extremely powerful backgrounds and influence, otherwise they wouldn't have committed capital crimes but only been banished to the Ancient Sea Abyss.
"By the way, brother, what got you into the Prison Abyss?" The Night-Shining Giant Squid asked, putting its arm around Jiang Yuan's shoulder after having a few drinks.
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow and said with a wicked grin, "My luck with women was too good; I couldn't resist and came in!"
"What?"
The glowing giant squid was completely bewildered, looking as if it had misheard.
"You heard me right, it's because you're too lucky with women!" Jiang Yuan repeated awkwardly. He had thought this charge was absurd before. After all, how could someone be imprisoned for promiscuity in a place that detains the most vicious criminals? It was simply outrageous beyond belief.
"Brother, did you sleep with Aquaman's woman? Or did you go to Aquaman's palace to sow your seeds?" The glowing giant squid looked bewildered, still wondering if it had misheard.
"..."
Jiang Yuan was speechless. Did this squid have such a wild imagination?
"No, if you don't have any women who sleep with the sea king, then how unsatisfactory must you be in that area to end up in this godforsaken place because of your luck with women?" The luminous giant squid was clearly determined to get to the bottom of this.
Jiang Yuan shrugged and then explained, "Being a sea king is fine, but being a sea king of the mermaid race is a big problem!"
Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's explanation, the luminous giant squid suddenly realized, "Oh, I forgot you're a mermaid! Your ancestral precept is to be loyal to one person, and violating that precept can indeed cause a lot of trouble."
"It's okay, actually it's pretty good here. My fellow inmates say it sounds nice and the food is delicious. It feels like coming home!" Jiang Yuan blurted out his thoughts without thinking, probably because the big meal he just had made him very happy.
However, the sea creatures who heard this fell silent. Where did this demon come from? Everyone else was going to die when they entered the Abyss of Prisons, but this guy was actually thinking about food, and his target was his fellow inmate. How could this not be terrifying?
"By the way, Giant Squid Brothers, are all the other brothers this taciturn?" Jiang Yuan asked the question that had been on his mind.
He originally thought that cooking this meal would definitely win him some goodwill, but apart from the gluttonous glowing giant squid, no one else came. They just watched from a distance, as if they were wary of something.
